NEW EDITION OF YOU ATT ON THE HORSE. Just published, in 1 vol 8vo, price 10s 6d, cloth, THE HORSE. By WILLIAM YOUATT. With a Treatise on Draught. With numerous Woodcut Illustrations, chiefly from Designs by W. Harvey. New Edition revised and en- larged by E. N. GABRIEL, M. R. C. S., C. V. S.; Secretary to Royal Col- lege of Veterinary Surgeons. There is a freshness and vi- 1 adopting the author's advice, may gourln Mr Gabriel's style which I effect a considerable saving in we feel certain will prove accept- able to those who read works on this subject; it is so different from the dry, technical contents of most veterinary works, that the reader is not only instructed and amused, but is impressed as he proceeds horse power. The illustrations rank among the best we have ever seen. There are comparatively few artists who can draw a life- like portrait of the horse— indeed, we think it all but impossible for an artist to excel in this particular with sentiments of admiration for 1 branch, unless he has himself well one of the most useful of God's studied the anatomy and natural creatures. Youatt's work on the horse is one of those few books which can be read over and over again with delight and interest. To many persons who are owners of horses, it will prove an especial boon, for in its pages will be found much that is instructive and pro- fitable. The treatise on draught will be especially interesting to farmers and contractors, who, by history of this noble animal; but here we have the various breeds, as well as the portraits of very many of our most celebrated thorough breds, rendered with a fidelity as striking as it is instructive and beautiful. The work we unhesi- tatingly pronounce one of the best and most comprehensive we have ever read on the subject of the horse."— Sporting Life. vv.' U ( IVWJJ " • I1V1DC. OJJVI LiUg June.

Bell's ILtff in ion& on. LONDON, SUNDAY, MARCH 22. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. POLAND. Areweon thebrinkof anewwar with Russia? Will the Czar per, severe at all risks in his savage course, or will he listen to the wishes of public opinion, before those wishes have, by his outrageous de- fiance of them, been converted into demands and threats ? So far as opinion alone can be expressed, it has made itself heard. At the City meeting men of all parties and all creeds joined in condemn- ing the conduct of the Czar. So, too, has it been condemned in the French Senate, and though M Biilault at first asked for time to prepare an answer to " imprudent speeches," he has done nothing which can in any way aid the Czar. In truth he cannot; and all that his proceeding meant was, that while the speeches in the French Senate may be treated as the warm expressions of in- dividual opinion, the French Ministry may appear to keep itself within the red tape diplomatic limits of formal expressions of hopes and wishes. This is the outward seeming of the business. Let not the Czar trust to that. The French nation has a sense of what is due to Poland, once its companion in glory, now down- trodden by an accursed despotism, which seems to have no plea- sure so great as that of inflicting torments, and to possess no know- ledge of statesmanship beyond that of setting classes of men against each other, and, by their mutual destruction, to ensure its own power. The Czar and his minister do not perceive that, there can be no country where the feelings of humanity exist, and the doctrines of Christianity are received, but must be lioi'rified by such conduct, and be roused into hostility against its perpetrators. Does he fancy that no country dare enter into active opposition to him ? Has he forgotten how he owed his escape at the time of the last war to the indulgence of the French Emperor, and the mode- ration of the English people I If he refuses to listen to the remon- strances of the French and English Governments, he will be not less foolish than ungrateful. But suppose him to refuse to listen to them. The declared op- position of the French and English nations to the ferocious course he is pursuing will almost decide the contest against him. The aid of the Prussian King will avail him little. Every man in Europe knows that that king, though he may love the Czar much, loves himself more, and that the recent convention between them, which more than some other things has excited disgust in Eu- rope, has been made by the Prussian King more with the notion of benefiting himself than of benefiting anyone else. He thinks he can get up a pretext for keeping up a large army, and, under that pretext, can smother the demand of the Prussians for re- sponsible government. He may be deceived in that, but that is his motive. Our Charles I. thought that the wars of the Palatinate furnished him with a similar opportunity and a like pretext. The English people saw through the trick of Charles, and the Prus- sian people may see through the trick of William. And his course is the less justifiable, because Charles was not by his conduct violating any international law; William is doing so, and is therefore introducing a new and a rather dangerous element into the combination of circumstances hostile to himself. At the meeting the other day, the resolutions as to what law and humanity demanded were clear and strong, but all the speakers seemed afraid to say that force might possibly have to decide the matter. The very fear may provoke the result it seeks to shun: fear always does. In 1854 there would have been no war if Lord Aberdeen had honestly told the Czar that France and England would not permit him to do what he wished. Lord Aberdeen deceived the Czar by his humility and submissiveness, and the Czar had a right to complain of him for so doing. The best way now will be to speak out. The western nations may speak resolutely jet not offensively, and if they do so, it is hardly possible to believe that the Czar will refuse to listen and to act. There are treaties, the utter disregard of which by him is an insult to the nations who were parties to those treaties, and no nations can put up with such insults without danger to their interests, as well as injury to their honour. IRELAND. Cork is in riot— perhaps some Irishmen would say in insurrec- tion, and might add for nationality. The absurdity of the thing would not prevent some men from giving that as the true state- ment of affairs in Ireland. Yet if the men engaged in these riots think that they are imitating the Italians of 1859 or the Poles of this day they must be utterly incapable of understanding the truth, and of knowing the difference between folly and patriotism. They are, in fact, mere disturbers of the public, either without having any object at all, or without having any object but what sensible men and lovers of freedom should regret. Their act, compared to the acts of the Italians and the Poles, is nothing better than the repetition on a political stage of the farce of " High Life Below Stairs." There is nothing of genuine love of freedom in their ob- ject or in their means. Tnere is no oppression of which they have to complain which might demand and justify an effort of violence to get rid of; they enjoy all the advantages which Englishmen enjoy of living in the most free country in the world, they share with Englishmen all the profits of the Government and all the ad- vantages of position, and all that they can possibly allege is that the Church to which they belong is not the dominant Church of the country. There is not a shadow of a pretence for what they are doing, except the desire of making it dominant. Now, as they are perfectly free and unfettered as to their attend- ance on that church, and as their adhesion to it forms no impediment to the personal advancement of any one of them, the only thing they can desire is, we repeat, to make that Church dominant, to give it the power which it possesses and so grossly abuses in Rome and in Spain, and to bring free Ireland into that state of slavery from which the Romans would, but for foreign force, at once relieve themselves, and from which all intelligent Spaniards earnestly desire to relieve their country. Being per- fectly free, the Irish want to convert themselves into Church slaves. This is their object. Their means are to break windows, keep a commercial city in a great uproar, and disturb confidence. The object and the means are alike contemptible, but they may also be very mischievous. The blame for that mischief must fall on themselves. • RAILWAY EXCESS. Prosperity is sometimes dangerous. Men presume too much on it, and invite their own destruction. It seems as if the rail- way schemers, the engineers, and the parliamentary agents were bringing themselves within the operation of this rule. They have been so accustomed to success that the insolence which a long continuance of it is likely to engender has become too great for ordinary sense to restrain or ordinary patience to bear. The in- vention of railways was a great thing ; and, notwithstanding the hesitations, and doubts, and fears of some scientific and many mat- ter of fact men, the people threw themselves into the scheme for creating this new mode of quick travelling with a vigour and an earnestness that ensured its immediate triumph ; and the capital which was to work out the plans of proprietors arose as instantly as the fabled army which sprang from the ground, and with none of the anticipated hesitation of Hotspur's spirits summoned from the " vasty deep." In simple truth, railways were great public conveniences, and the fact that they were so having been recognised, the natural result, that of a desire to have much of them, arose, and has been gratified. It is now proposed to show that we may have too much even of a good thing. There is no necessity to prove the possibility of such an inconvenience of advantage. Indeed it cannot be prac- tically proved without inflicting great injury to the public. There may be too much capital invested in railway schemes— it is so if those schemes are not profitable. There may be land wasted in the construction of railroads— it is so if those railroads are not needed. And such waste becomes doubly mischievous if it inter- feres with the health, convenience, or comfort of dwellers in towns, without affording them any compensating advantage. They are not afforded a compensating advantage by the mere facility to travel faster where there is small, if any, necessity for such increased rapidity. It is a sacrificing of the end to the means. The whole object of life is not locomotion. The power to go from place to place with great speed is a desirable thing, but it is less desirable for a short distance than for a long one. This one con- dition modifying its value seems to be lost sight of in the multi- tudinous schemes for new metropolitan railways. It is an admi- rable thing to reach York from London in six hours instead of twenty- four, therefore, say the schemers of these new lines, it is equally admirable to get from one street to another street in one minute instead of four. The proportion of time is indeed the same, but the proportion of convenience; is not so— and the proportion of cost at which the convenience is pur- chased is infinitely different. It is so in the amount of money expended, still more so in the amount of convenience of habitation destroyed, and most of all in the destruction of the means of health and comfort, if the few open spaces of a great and wide- spread town are to be occupied by the building of a railway station, and all the neighbourhood disturbed by the noise of the trains. Now it is these open spaces that are most sought after, because their money cost is less than the cost of ground already built over. At a sacrifice of mere money interest they were originally left open for the benefit of obtaining fresh air, and that is the very object which the railway schemers would defeat. Their original good purpose is not merely to be thwarted but perverted. And this too without any real necessity for the sacrifice. There are some of the projected railways that have no balance of public convenience for the inconvenience and discomfort which their creation would occasion, and since a town was made to live in quite as much as to rush through, it is to be hoped that the new schemes will be carefully watched, and that the Legislature will not, except for very good and pressing reasons, grant licenses to block up the view, impede the circulation of air, and destroy every chance of quiet in all the quarters of the metropolis. FRANCE. A debate on Poland has taken place in the French Senate. M Bonjean gave an account of the sufferings of Poland and of the iniquities of which she had been the victim, and foresaw the probability of a remodelling of the map of Europe for restor- ing to Poland her nationality. M Walewski said that the treaties of 1815 did not establish the rights claimed by the Czar over Poland, He also protested against the assertion that the Polish insurrection was a revolutionary movement.— Prince Na- poleon opposed passing to the order of the day, a course which would be considered by public opinion much less sympathetic with Poland than if the Senate were to refer the petitions for the consideration of the Government. The treaties of 1815 should only be mentioned to be execrated. The insurrection in Poland was lawful on account of the conscription, which was a real pro- scription en masse directed by the good pleasure of the police. The prince enumerated the barbarous atrocities committed by the Russians, and asked whether the Emperor's Government ought not to do for Poland what preceding Governments had done. In reviewing the position taken up by the Great Powers, the prince was of opinion that Russia sought to disturb the good un- derstanding existing between France and England in order to carry out her designs in the East. " Russia, in order to hold ber troops available against the emancipated serfs, endeavoured to conclude a convention with Prussia.'' The Senate, however, passed to the order of the day.— M Larabit's re- port on the Polish petitions contains a sneer at England, which countenances the attacks of Granier and others. M Larabit mentions that the committee whose organ he is was attended by M Biilault before he drew up his report, and says that " England appears to wish by provocations more or less sincere to urge us on to a war in which her Government would not support us." This charge of very black treason against England was received with cheers by the Senate. SPAIN. The Government has refused to grant permission to the Demo- cratic party to hold a meeting in favour of Poland. ITALY. Numerous arrests have taken place at Palermo, in consequence of the discovery of a conspiracy to establish the Sicilian Govern- ment upon Mazzinian principles. Amongst the arrested persons are Prince Miordinelli, Colonel Bentivegna, and the editors of the Unita Politica and the Aspromonte. Palermo is perfectly quiet, and the judicial authorities have commenced an inquiry into the matter. POLAND" Langiewicz has been proclaimed Dictator of Poland. The in- surgents defeated the Russians under the command of Colonel Toll near My szewo, in the Government of Piock. The Russians had 100 killed. A body of insurgents under Lelewel were victo- rious near Wladowa, on the Bug. The Russians sustained a fur- ther defeat near Rataji, although in considerable force at that place. They have been defeated in many other encounters. When the Russians are beaten, and have to retreat through a village, they often burn it. Their course is marked by incen- diarism and murder. The Prussian troops have in many cases protected and assisted the defeated Russians. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. THE ROYAL OAK.— The Royal Oak, 34, the first of the squadron of armour- plated steamers yet completed, was tioated out of dock at Chatham on Thursday afternoon, March 19, and immediately after got up steam and proceeded to moorings at Folly Point, some few miles from the harboHr, where she will be completed for sea, the depth of water in Chatham harbour being insufficient to allow of her floating without occasionally taking the ground, and thereby straining her. On the water being admitted into the dock on Thursday the Royal Oak was found to draw 21ft 6in for- ward and 22ft aft, or, in other words, she was on a nearly even keel, to which she had been trimmed by the stowage of her shot, cables, & c, to admit of her passing over the sill of the dock. As it was, however, her keel slightly dragged the bottom of the dock as she floated out. On the occasion of her launch her draught of water was 18ft aft and 13ft 6in forward; since which, however, she has had upwards of 1,000 tons of armour- plating bolted to her side, and most of her heavy stores put on board. The Royal Oak was accompanied to Folly Point by the Adder and other steamers, and was navigated by Mr Blakey, Queen's pilot at Chatham. The engines worked smoothly, and with remarkable ease and regu- larity, considering that steam had only been admitted into the cylinders for the first time. With only two boilers at work, and the screw making but 30 revolutions per minute, a speed of six knots was obtained. DEATH OF MA. JOK- GENERAL ALEXANDER GORDON, R. E.— We have to record the death of the above gallant officer, which oc- curred at 22, Bloomsbury- square, on March 16. The deceased, who was 68 years of age, entered the corps of Royal Engineers as second lieutenant, Sept 1, 1815, and served as senior officer in Demerara during the insurrection of the negroes in 1823 and 1824. He was honourably mentioned in general orders, and received the thanks of the Court of Policy of the United Colony of Demerara and Essequibo. He became first lieutenant Dec 2, 1824; captain, Jan 10, 1837; brevet- major, Nov 11, 1851; lieutenant- colonel, Dec 6, 1851; brevet- colonel, Nov 28, 1854; colonel, Sept 10, 1856; and major- general, April 20, 1861. THE LATE SIE JAMES OUTEAM.— We have very much pleasure in announcing that the Dean of Westminster has acceded to the wish of Sir James Outram's friends that the remains of this dis- tinguished soldier should be interred in Westminster Abbey. FINE ARTS. THE ROYAL PROCESSION THROUGH THE CITY.— Mr Rolph, the photographer, of 40, Gracechurch- street, lias just published several admirable stereoscopic pictures of the royal progress through the City on the 7th of March. They include " London Bridge," the " Triumphal Arch at the end of the bridge," and a " Bird's- eye view of the processions coming from London Bridge up King William- street." Although the last- named is instantane- ous, it is very good indeed, and the effect through the stereoscope is most admirable. The views, which are copyright, and which do infinite credit to Mr Rolph, will have a large circulation. THE COUBT.— Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales left Osborne on Tuesday, March 17, and returned to Windsor Castle, being everywhere received with congratulations of the most unbounded character. The birthday of her Royal High- ness the Princess Louisa, born in 1848, was celebrated at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, with the customary rejoicings. Merry peals were rung from the castle bells, and those of the parish church of St John, and a royal salute was fired in the Bachelor's Acre, by " Pond," the royal bombardier. This is the first birth- day which has been kept with any kind of rejoicing since the death of his Royal Pigtuie& s tbe ftym Consort, PRUSSIA. The military committee of the Chamber of Deputies contiuued its deliberation upon the amendments proposed by Herr Von For- kenbeck to the law on the military organisation of the country, which is worded as follows:—" The strength of the army in time of peace shall be fixed by a special law. The yearly budget of military expenses shall be based upon this law.'' This para- graph was, with a slight addition, almost unanimously agreed to, two members only voting against it. The Royal Commissioner, who represented the Minister of War on the committee, declared that the Government could not agree to the amendment of Herr Von Forkenbeck and would not bring forward an organic law on military organisation. AUSTRIA. The first sitting of the delegates from Venetia has taken place, in order to deliberate on the scheme of granting a provincial con- stitution to Venetia. SWEDEN. In the Diet, Freiherr Staeb Von Holstein moved that the Go- vernment should be requested to interpose effectually with Russia in favour of the Poles. GREECE. The National Assembly has, by 105 against 71 votes, recalled M Christides, the chief of the French party, who had been exiled by the Provisional Government. TURKEY. The Sultan, accompanied by Fuad Pasha, is about to under- take a journey to Egypt. He will be absent from Turkey about forty days. AMERICA. The Confederates have captured the Federal steamer Indianola, 25 miles below Vieksburg. They employed the ram Queen of the West in her capture. Two hundred Union Cavalry have been captured near Strasburg, Virginia, during a pursuit of 20 miles. The disaster occurred through disobedience to orders. President Lincoln has called an extra session of the Senate to receive, and act upon, such communications as may be made by the Executive. Senator Sumner has reported to the Senate from the committee upon foreign relations concurrent resolutions regarding media- tion. After referring to the French offer of mediation, the reso- lutions declare that any idea of mediation or intervention is im- practicable, unreasonable, and inadmissible. The resolutions express regret that the foreign powers have not frankly informed the Southern chiefs that the work in which they are engaged is hopeless, and that a new Government with slavery as its corner- stone, and with no other declared object of separate existence, is so far shocking to civilisation and to the moral sense of mankind that it must not expect welcome or recognition in the common- wealth of nations. The resolutions express an unalterable purpose to prosecute the war until the rebellion is suppressed. The resolu- tions will be communicated to foreign Governments. TheSenatehas passed an amendment that negroes shall not be commissioned in the service, except as company officers of exclusively negro companies. The House of Representatives has passed the bill of the Senate authorising the President to issue letters of marque; also a bill taxing the sales of corn ('? gold). Both Houses of Congress have passed a bill indemnifying the President for the suspension of the writ of Habeas Corpus. Also a bill imposing a tax of 2 per cent, upon bank circulation. The duty on paper has been reduced to 20 per cent. The Confederate steamer Nashville ran aground at Fort Macallister, Savannah, and was destroyed by Federal iron- clads. The arrangement between General Banks and the New Orleans planters for negro labour is confirmed. The military will not be allowed to take any slaves from the plantations. The privateer Florida has captured and burned the ship Jacob Bell, from China for New York. Her cargo is valued at 1,000,000 dollars. Public meetings have been held in Trenton, New Jersey, calling upon the state authorities to assert their state sovereignty in refer- ence to the Conscription Act, and advocating a convention to de- vise means for restoring peace to the country. An excited meet- ing of the New York Chamber of Commerce has taken place. The meeting was called to discuss the burning of the Jacob Bell, A committee was appointed to report what measures are proper to adopt concerning the burning of the Jacob Bell by a pirate fitted out and supplied in England. The president of the Chamber in- timated that a war with England was a possibility, and one not to be dreaded. England's neutrality was denounced, and the conduct of England towards American merchants declared to be a disgrace to the age. Efforts should be made to call the atten- tion of British merchants to the circumstances, and it was thought that multitudes would respond. Mozart, and also, in concert with Mr J. G. Callcott, a duet for clarionet and pianoforte, on themes by Weber, charmingly rendered by both executants. Handel's" ever- during " Harmo nious Blacksmith'' was given with nice feeling and quiet steadi ness of purpose by Miss Marian Walsh, who will, we trust, prove to be one of our most accomplished pianistes at no distant day. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY— THE UNION RELIEF AID ACT and THE SAL- MON EXPORTATION BILL were read a second time, and THE MALT DUTY BILL a third time; and the house ad- journed. TUESDAY- THE UNION RELIEF AID ACT passed through committee. THURSDAY— THE SALMON EXPORTATION BILL passed through committee. THE UNION RELIEF AID ACT CONTINUANCE BILL was read a third time and passed. CITY AND METROPOLITAN POLICE.— Lord DALHOUSIE, in asking whether the Government intended to take any steps to consolidate the metropolitan and City police, particularly dwelt on the shortcomings of the City police on the occasion of the re- cent royal procession, and strongly urged the propriety of amal- gamating the City and metropolitan police services as the only means of preventing the recurrence of such scenes.— Lord GRAN- VILLE stated that the Home Secretary had written to the Lord Mayor in reference to the matter, but no answer had been received. Means had been employed, however, to gain the required infor- mation, but until it was obtained it was impossible to foretell what course the Government would pursue.— The Duke of CAM- BRIDGE explained the steps he had taken to induce the City au- thorities to accept a military force for preserving order on the oc- casion of the entry of the Princess Alexandra into the City. He contended that the metropolitan and City forces should be amal- gamated, and under the control of one instead of two authorities. Having spoken very highly of the services of the metropolitan force, he concluded by alluding to the employment of volunteers in keeping order in a crowd, and deprecated any such employ- ment.— Lord TAUNTON was strongly in favour of the amalgama- tion of the two forces, and hoped that the Government would in- troduce a bill for that purpose before the end of the session.— Lord OVERSTONE considered that the answer of Lord Granville was very unsatisfactory, and hoped that the strong feeling of botla Houses of Parliament would stir up the moral courage of the Go- vernment to interfere with the City authorities on the subject. HOUSE OF COMMONS, GREECE.— Mr COCHRANE, in moving for copies MUSIC AND DRAMA. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA.— The last week of the present season has presented the public with no novelty, Balfe's new opera of " The Armourer of Nantes,'' Macfarren's " Masque of Freya's Gift," and Bellini's opera of " La Sonnambula" having been re- spectively played. The theatre will remain closed until the 7th of April, when Mr Gye commences his campaign with his company of Italian artistes. DRUBY- LANE THEATRE.—" Bonnie Dundee" has been curtailed and turned into an afterpiece, the principal scene of the " Gather- ing of the Clans'' forming the leading feature of this new arrange- ment ; it is preceded by Mr Falconer's comedy of " Extremes; or, Men of the Day," which was so deservedly popular when it was originally produced at the Lyceum, in the early days of Mr Fal- coner's management of that theatre. In its present revival Mrs Bowers sustains the part of Miss Vavasour, in lieu of Mrs Charles Young, and acts with sufficient animation and vivacity to compen- sate for the absence of that lady. Miss Weston as Jenny Wildbriar and Mr Calhaem as Robin both play naturally and forcibly, whilst Mrs Falconer, in the character originally assumed by her, bears the burden of the whole play. The fresh humour of this part is as elaborately yet truthfully rendered as it could possibly be, and the audience testified their appreciation of the actress's great talents by their continuous and hearty laughter at the absurdity of the situations and odd contrasts presented as the play proceeded. The entertainments have concluded with the farce of " The 8panish Dancers," in which Miss Lydia Thompson acts with so much be- witching gaiety and abandon, and in which also she gives an ex- cellent imitation of Perea Nena. It is rumoured that the great sensational drama of " Peep o' Day" is to be revived, for the de- lectation of the good folks at Easter. HAYMAEKET THEATEE.— Only a few more nights, and my Lord Dundreary will for a time cease to convulse the town with his wonderful absurdities and fantastic devices for raising the mirth of his hearers. Mr Sothern's departure for the provinces will create a blank which we fancy the worthy manager will find it difficult to fill up, so much has the genius of this incomparable and most accomplished actor done to entice crowds upon crowds of playgoers and country cousins to attend at this theatre during the last year and a quarter ; and, as if to make us more sensible of his loss, MrBuckstone has added the charming petite comedy of " The Little Treasure" to his bill of fare, Mr Sothern taking the part of Captain Maydenblush. Let us hope that our loss will be a gain to this gentleman, and that he will return to his large circle of London friends and admirers with a renewed stock of health, and with the same desire to add to the enjoyment and pleasure of that public who have so thoroughly appreciated one of the most remarkable performances of our times. ADELPHI THEATBE.— On Wednesday evening another version of the now- famous " Aurora Floyd" was produced at this house, the present one being written by Mr Webster, jun, and produced with the sanction and approval of the authoress. The success of this play must be attributed rather to the excellent manner in which it was performed than to its merits as a dramatic composi- tion, parts of it being needlessly spun out, and the entire length of the four long acts trying the patience of the most patient of audiences. It would have been more to the pur- pose, theatrically speaking, if the leading incidents and most striking situations had been woven together without following too closely bit by bit the story so well known to the present race of novel readers. Future adapters of sensation tales would do well to follow the pattern laid down for them by the arranger of " Lady Audley's Secret," now being played at the St James's Theatre, where two acts are found sufficient to exhibit all that is requisite for a development of the strangest of strange stories. Here we have Aurora shown to us as about to be married to Mr Talbot Bulstrode, but the marriage is stayed by an inter- view between the unhappy lady and Stephen Hargreaves, who is a sort of emissary of James Conyers. the groom, to whom, in- deed, Aurora is secretly married. Talbot is indignant at the mys- terious silence of the lady when questioned by him as to her con- nection with Stephen, and breaks offthematch. Mellish, the hearty, honest Yorkshire squire, careless of mysteries, and devotedly fond of Aurora, offers her his hand, and is finally accepted. Then comes a view of the happy Yorkshire home, too soon to be dis- turbed by the presence of the trainer and groom, Conyers, to whom Aurora, in her agony, offers £ 2,000 that he may leave the neighbourhood. After this secret interview Conyers is murdered, and Aurora is suspected, but in the last act Hargreaves is dis- covered to be the guilty party, and the piece concludes. MrWebster took the character of Stephen Hargreaves, and achieved one of those artistic triumphs which reminded us of the older days of his career, when he was wont to show more frequently before the footlights than he has done lately. His gait, voice, look, bearing, dress, and manner were something wonderful to con- template, and realised the intended repulsiveness of the part to perfection. The play deserves to be seen, if only to witness this most admirable delineation of a very strange character. Miss Avonia Jones scarcely realises our notions of the heroine, but the pains she takes, and the power she displays in the more pathetic passages of the part, deserve warm recognition. Mrs Billington plays excellently as the companion who hates the hand which supports her, and Mr Billington, as Mellish, is both gentlemanly and vigorous. As Captain Prodder, Mr Paul Bed- ford is fitted with a part which suits him exactly, and which he flays with all his accustomed geniality and breadth of effect. Nor must Miss Henrietta Sims be forgotten, inasmuch as her performance of the gentle cousin Lucy was distinguished for its graceful propriety and truth. The scenery was good, and the piece was evidently produced with all possible care and attention to effect, and was' received with great applause by a very full house. MB LESLIE'S CHOXB.— The fifth concert of this choir was held on Wednesday night at the Hanover- square Reoms, and went off with the same pleasant- success which always attends the execu- tion of choral music by so fine a body of trained choral singers. The gems © I the programme, to our thinking, were Mozart's de- MONDAY. v ..,_„ of correspondence relating to the affairs of Greece, called the at- tention of the house to the present state of that country, and to the conduct of Her Majesty's Government towards it. That con- duct, he said, had not been just or generous, and he believed that Lord Palmerston was not aware of the course which had been pursued by the Foreign Office. Having examined the official cor- respondence laid before the house, with special reference to the despatches of Lord Russell, from the commencement of the de- monstrations in favour of Prince Alfred, and having read some unofficial documents, he contended that from the beginning there had been a want of fairness and candour, of good faith and jus- tice, on the part of Lord Russell towards the Greeks, and that they had reason to complain of being cast into difficulties and pe- rils for the sake of a diplomatic triumph.— Mr GREGORY seconded the motion, but was of opinion that Her Majesty's Government had taken the right course in dealing with a question which might have led to complications of a very serious nature. He took a different view from Mr Cochrane of the conduct of Lord Russell, which had been, in the first instance, clear and above- board, holding out no hope that Prince Alfred would accept the crown of Greece. He, however, strongly censured the proceed- ings subsequent to the arrival of Mr Elliott at Athens. With re- gard to the cession of the Ionian Islands to Greece, he cordially assented to the course taken by the Government in that matter. He thought that, without impugning the past policy of England on the Eastern question— that of preserving the integrity of the Turkish empire— that policy should not be the standard for the future ; that the time for that policy had gone by, and things had changed. None of the predictions which had inaugurated the acces- sion of the present Sultan had been fulfilled, and it should be our fu- ture policy to advocate, by peaceful means, theextension of the terri- tory of Greece, of the destinies of which he entertained sanguine hopes.— Mr M. MII- NES advised that the Government should abandon the nomination of candidates for the Greek throne, and that the people should be left to choose for themselves even their own form of government.— After some further discussion, Lord PALMEESTON said he had been curious to know what could be the ground upon which Mr Cochrane could have founded an attack upon the Government. There had been personal attacks upon Earl Russell, who cauld afford to be perfectly indifferent to them. One or two things appeared to have grievously weighed upon the minds of those who took the same view as Mr Coch- rane— first, that the Greeks had exhibited such unanimity in the desire to elect an English prince, and that they were not informed at once that Prince Alfred could not be their king. But they were told so at the earliest moment. Then it was said that when they were so told, and they went on to elect the prince, our Minister was instructed not to interfere. But were Mr Scarlett and Mr Elliott to have gone about among the electors and told them not to elect the prince? Had this been done, the inter- ference would have been blamed as indecent. Then it was said the Greeks had been neglected by the British Government, but the Government had lost no time in endeavouring to secure an acceptable candidate for the crown of Greece; it was for the Greeks themselves to choose— the British Government could only suggest a choice. He was, therefore, at a loss to know in what respect their conduct, which had been frank and straightforward from the beginning, was open to blame. As to Turkey and the European provinces of Turkey— topics which had been imported into the debate— he remarked that education was spreading in Turkey, where the Government was improving, and although many privileges and equalities remained to be conceded to the Christians, they were much better off than they had been. If Mr Cochrane withdrew his motion, when further papers on the snbject were received, he would have no objection to lay them on the table.— Mr COCHRANE then withdrew his motion. THE ARMY ESTIMATES.— On the order for going into a Com- mittee of Supply, Colonel BARTTELOT moved a resolution, that this house will resolve itself into a committee to consider of an Address to Her Majesty to give directions that the stoppage from the pay of Cavalry and Horse Artillery officers for forage be dis- continued.— Sir G. LEWIS observed that the Government was placed bet ween two opposing forces ; on one hand, the Army Es- timates were objected to as too high ; it was now proposed to add £ 20,000 to their amount. It was not in his power to accede to the motion, which he hoped would not be adopted by the house. — The motion was supported by Colonel NORTH and Colonel DUNNE ; and, upon a division, was negatived by 107 to 75.— The house then went into Committee of Supply upon the remaining Army Estimates, when several votes were agreed to. The NAVAL COAST VOLUNTEERS ACT AMENDMENT BILL was read a third time and passed. TUESBAY.— CLOSING OF PUBLIC- HOUSES ON SUN- DAYS.— The Sabbatarians had another go- in on Tuesday evening, Mr SOMES moving for leave to bring in a bill for closing public- houses on Sundays.— The bill was opposed by Mr PACKE, on the ground that such legislation would be grossly unfair upon the poorer classes.— Sir G. GREY would not oppose the introduction of the bill, but he gave notice that, beyond the first reading, it would not receive his support.— Mr BAINES hoped the hon gen- tleman ( Mr Packe) would not persist in opposing the introduction of the bill, which was asked for by many thousands of most worthy people, and was also in accordance with an act which had produced an excellent effect in Scotland.— Mr ROEBUCK gave notice that in the event, hardly to be expected, of this bill being read a second time, he should, in committee, move that every club- house in London should be closed on Sundays [ cheers and laughter].— Mr HOESFALL considered that the existing law was in a state of great inconsistency. The sale of bread and meat, ne- cessaries of life, was prohibited on Sundays, and yet public- houses were allowed to be thrown open for the sale of in- toxicating liquors. As far as his constituency was concerned, not only the people but the majority of licensed victuallers approved the proposed bill.— The house divided, when the numbers were— For the bill, 141; against, 52; majority for the bill, 89.— Leave was therefore given to introduce the bill. GAME- LAWS.— Mr W. FOSTEE moved for a select committee to inquire into the operation of laws relating to game, and to report whether in their opinion any, and if any, what alterations are required therein. He stated the reasons why he thought an inquiry desirable— the hurried manner in which the act of last session was passed, the different interpretations put upon it, and the counter decisions it had undergone. The act gave new powers to the police with regard to the preservation of game, thereby embarking the house in a new course of legislation, and he thought it important to examine the question whether game should or should not be regarded as property. The interests, moral and social, of the labouring classes, the increase of poaching, and, above all, the perplexed state of the law, furnished additional reasons for an inquiry, and it might be extended to collateral questions, which he indicated.— The motion was seconded by Lord ENFIELD, who, though he had voted for the second reading of the bill of last year, voted against the third reading, being convinced the subject ought to undergo a previous inquiry. — Mr THOMPSON moved, as an amendment, a resolution that it is desirable that the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the operation of the game- laws should be postponed until further experience shall have been ob- tained of the working of the Prevention of Poaching Act. He observed that it was an unusual course to legislate first and inquire afterwards, unless there was proof of the failure of the legislation. Mr Foster had made no attempt to prove a failure. On the other hand, he ( Mr Thompson) contended ( and he read returns to this effect) that though the act had been a very short time in operation. it was working very well, so that, although he admitted that the law was in an anomalous state, it would be premature to appoint a committee. — This amendment was seconded by Mr PAULL.— Sir G. GREY said he had stated last session that if a committee of inquiry into this subject was moved for he should be prepared to assent to the motion, and, in redemption of that pledge, he should vote for the appointment of a committee. He thought that the large proportion of the crime of the country which was connected with the game- laws demanded the serious consideration of the house, and it had been admitted by Mr Thompson that these laws were in an anomalous state. He must say, in his opinion, there were abundant grounds for granting an inquiry.— Mr NEW- DEGATE and Lord A. CHUECHILL spoke shortly to a very impatient house, and, upon a division, the amendment was carried by 176 to 157. MR HERBERT OF CLYTHA.— Mr ROEBUCK moved an ad- dress for returns of the names of all persons who have applied for licenses to change their names since 1850; of the instances in which such licenses have been granted and refused, with the reasons for refusal; of the principles which have been ob- served in granting and refusing such licenses; of the amount of fees demanded for such licenses, and the manner in which the moneys have been applied. In his argument, in support of the motion, he contended that no license what- ever was required by law for a change of name, and that no official person was entitled to interfere and prevent the operation of the law in this particular. He then went into the details of a recent case in Wales.— Colonel CLIFFORD defended Lord Llan- over against certain remarks made by Mr Roebuck in relation to the case alluded to.— Sir G. GREY, without entering into the personal question, observed that, admitting the law to be as stated by Mr Roebuck— though it was rather a question of usage- it did not follow that Lord Llanover was wrong in what he had done. As to the returns, he suggested certain modifications in them.— Mr ROEBUCK assented to the modifications, and, after some remarks by the SOLICITOR- GENERAL on the state of the law regarding change of name, the motion was agreed to in its amended form. THA. MES EMBANKMENT.— Mr COWPEB moved for leave to bring in a bill for the embankment of part of the river Thames on the south side thereof, in the parish of St Mary, Lambeth, and for other purposes, explaining the great improvements provided for by the bill, which would empower the Board of Works to defray the co= t out of the Thames Embankment and Metropolis Fund.— Mr W. WILLIAMS and Mr CUBITT made a few observations, and the motion was agreed to. WEDNESDAY— The DISEASES PREVENTION BILL, in- troduced by Mr BEADY, to prevent persons with contagious diseases being conveyed to hospitals in public carriages, was withdrawn, on the recommendation of Sir G. Grey, and the house soon afterwards adjourned. THURSDAY— TOBACCO.— On moving the order for going into committee upon the Tobacco Duties Bill, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER made an appeal to Mr Ayrton, who had given notice of an amendment that the bill be committed to a select committee, with power to send for persons, papers, and records, not to persevere in it, suggesting, as reasons for the appeal, the novelty, irregularity, and inconvenience of such a mode of deal- ing with the question, and that he ( Mr Ayrton) was not acting with the general concurrence of those interested in the matter in proposing a select committee.— Mr AYRTON denied that there was any novelty in his proposal, which was to do nothing more than had been done on other occasions of important changes. The bill had already undergone material alterations, and others were an- nounced, and he asked the house to imagine that there might be something like error in the whole scheme, which could only be made to appear by the examination of practical witnesses before a committee. He entered somewhat minutely into the compli- cated fiscal details connected with the bill, which, he insisted, re- quired a careful investigation; « * ad sonclud. ed by moving his tttaemlme^ was negatived by coffifflUise tuv When proposed certain chaises in s, and in the regulations, which, with the & everal clauses, underwent a long discussion, aC'd were ultimately agreed to, with amendments. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS.— The house then, in committee, resumed the consideration of the clauses of the Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill.— An alteration, proposed by Sir G. GREY, in the wording of the eighth clause, giving pro- tection to a witness required by a committee or commissioners to answer a question or questions that might tend to criminate him, was agreed to, after a short debate. The remaining clauses in the bill were likewise agreed to. Various new clauses, of which notice had been given, were discussed, none of them being adopted, except a clause moved by Mr PULLEE, render- ing any person convicted of bribery, treating, or undue influence at an election, or against whom judgment shall have been obtained for any penal sum recoverable under the Corrupt Practices Prevention Acts in respect of any such offence, incapable of being elected or sitting in Parliament for five years ; and a clause moved by Mr HUNT, providing for the payment of the costs of commissioners of inquiry by the county, borough, or place where the commission was held to inquire into the exten- sive prevalence of bribery, treating, or other corrupt practices at an election, in cases where the commissioners shall have reported that such practices did extensively prevail. The house then went into committee upon the TELEGRAPH BILL; but only a few of the clauses were gone through when the chairman was ordered to report progress. THE MARINE MUTINY BILL was read a second time. THE MUTINY BILL passed through the committee. THE INCLOSURE BILL was read a second time. THE TRUSTEES ( SCOTLAND) ACT AMENDMENT BILL passed the committee. THE HARES ( IRELAND) BILL was read a third time and passed. Mr. HUTT moved for a select committee to inquire into the operation of the acts relating to the Conservancy of the River Thames, to the buoyage, beaconage, and ballastage of that river, and to the regulation of vessels navigating or plying on the river. The motion was agreed to. IMPORTANT AGRICULTURAL MOVEMENT While of late years the commercial and manufacturing interests of the country have called into existence joint stock under- takings on a gigantic scale, the agricultural community has re- ceived little or no assistance from those advantageous associations. Beyond the formation of " clubs" here and there on a small scale, the farmers have been left entirely to their own capital to provide the means of developing their operations and improving the culti- vation of the soil, and it is to remedy this evil that the movement to which we now call the attention of the public has been set on foot. Amongst the many marvellous mechanical improvements of the day, steam cultivation is one of the most important, and the fact of its not being more universally adopted in agricultural operations is entirely owing to the " first cost'' of the imple- ments. All farmers would willingly cause their land to be culti- vated by steam, but very many are unable to invest the large sum of money necessary to purchase the expensive machinery. To supply this agricultural want a company has been forming for some months past under the auspices of the Earl of Albemarle, the Earl of Suffolk, Lieut- Col Lindsay, and other influential land- owners, to be called the General Steam Cultivation Company ( Limited), and all preliminaries having been settled, it is the in- tention of the company at once to appeal to the public. Their operations will, in a great measure, be carried on upon the principle of the rolling stock companies, the great success of which is undoubted. The capital is to amount to £ 250,000, in shares of £ 10 each, and the company proposes to purchase steam cultivators, to let out the apparatus to agriculturalists for a term of years at a fixed rental, the machinery eventually becoming the property of the hirer. The advantages of the scheme generally are obvious, and more especially so to the agriculturist of limited means. For a small rental, varying from about £ 100 to £ 150 per annum, he will be supplied with the " plant'' of a complete steam cultivator, which, after certain number of years, will become his own property. The saving at once effected in the reduction of manual labour, the sale of superfluous horses, and the consequent abolition of the ex- pense of their keep ( as steam machinery whilst lying idle costs nothing) will go far towards liquidating the rental for first years, while the subsequent advantages are too manifest for further mention. In a pecuniary point of view, also, the plan looks promising. The rolling stock companies above alluded to realise a large dividend in their dealings with the railways, the latter having to reimburse themselves at the hands of the public. The General Steam Cultivation Company will, therefore, be placed in a still more favourable position, inasmuch as it will deal with the farmers direct, and the profits, therefore, all flow into one chan- nel. Altogether, the scheme promises well. to take awav nn th ® t, rainer of ^ eliorses shea^ allow any one Wl « Ke » Waj an animal proved to be of some ctffiftderable value, and do wnat ae pleased with her, unless there was soi^ e probabi- ty receiving benefit frem her performances. He £ hen re- minded them that, according to the case for the defendant, if the mare had broken her neck the first time she was engaged to r. un, tpe plaintiff must have borne all the loss ; and he submitted tltilfc. it was absurd to suppose that he ever could have intended to make- such arrangement, and that the case for the plaintiff had been completely established. The Lord Chief Justice then summed up the case to the jury, and he said that really the only question they had to decide was, which version of the agreement between the parties was the true one. The jury retired to consider their verdict, and were absent for nearly two hours. They then returned into court and gave a ver- dict far the plaintiff for half the amount of the winnings by the mare, but, upon the . application of Mr Hawkins, His lordship directed that execution should be stayed. ASSIZE. LISTER AND HANSON- At Maidstone Assizes, on Thursday, an action was brought by Mr Lister, the trainer, against Mr Hanson, a horse dealer. This was an action to recover the sum of £ 150, under an agree- ment entered into, as alleged by the plaintiff', that he should use a steeplechase horse for racing purposes, and that the winnings should be divided between them. The defendant by his pleas denied having made such an agree- ment as the one suggested, but he admitted that he had won the sum of £ 289 with the horse in question, and pleaded a set- off for expenses to the amount of £ 350. The plaintiff in this action was the well- known trainer of race horses, at Hednesford Hall, Staffordshire, and the defendant is a horse dealer at Beverley, in Yorkshire. It seemed that the plain- tiff had purchased a mare at the Birmingham Repository, then known by the name of Echo, for £ 50, that he changed her name to Topsy, and that he entered this mare to run for several steeplechases; but, as he said, she was " unfortunate," and only came in second; and at the time the agreement was entered into that was the ground of the action, she had only won two or three hurdle races, but was considered a promising animal. The plain tiff had been on intimate terms with the defendant for several years, and, according to his evidence, the latter came to his estab- lishment in Staffordshire, in the month of July, 1860, and looked over his stock, and informed him that he was about to go to Ger- many, where he did a considerable trade in his business as a horse dealer, and he wished the plaintiff to let him take a race horse with him that was likely to win some of the races in that country, as he said it would place him in a better position in his own business if he were known to be the possessor of such an animal, and he desired to have Topsy. The plaintiff repre sented that he at first refused to let the mare go, as there were many stakes that she was capable of winning in this country, and the defendant offered to give him the whole of the money that she won. He told him that he knew he could not do that, and he ultimately offered to let the defendant have the mare, undertaking at the same time to run all the risk of any accident or mischief that might happen to her, upon the understanding that the de- fendant should pay all expenses and give him half the winnings. The defendant was represented to have consented to this arrange- ment, and he took the mare away with his own horses, and she ran at several races. The parties met at York Races in August, 1860, and the defendant then stated that the mare had already won £ 200, but he said he could not give the plaintiff any money at that time, as he should want it to pay the stakes for other races for which the mare was entered, but he handed the plaintiff a silver cup, which he represented was worth £ 100, as his share, and to represent his winnings down to that period. The mare ran at several other races, but not, as it would seem, with any very great success, the largest stake won by her being at the races at Baden- Baden, where, it appeared, she was again unfortunate in coming in second, but as it appeared that the horse that came in first went on the wrong side of the post at the finish, there was a dispute, and in the result the mare re- ceived the stakes, which amounted to three hundred and sixty louis d'ors. The " gentleman rider," this being a race of that description, however, when he received the stakes, claimed sixty louis d'ors as his share, and his expenses were likewise paid, and the result of all the performances of the mare at the different German race courses was an admission, under interrogatories or- dered by the court, that the sum she had won was £ 289, but against this there was a set- off for expenses as above stated to the amount of £ 350. This set- off was admitted by the plaintiff' to be correct, but it was contended that under his agreement he had nothing to do with the expenses, for which the defendant was alone responsible, and that he was entitled to a clear half of the winnings. The plaintiff was called as a witness, and he swore positively to the agreement being in the terms above stated, and he also said that he had ascertained that the silver cup, which was repre- sented by the defendant to be worth £ 100, was in reality only of the value of 20 louis d'ors, and was described as being of that value only in the race for which it was won. In addition to this he said that, after the mare came back again to his possession, she won the Liverpool Autumn Steeple Chase, and several other races, and proved herself to be a very good mare. In cross- examination the plaintiff swore positively that he had never told the defendant that he was hard up, and wanted to sell some of his horses, and wished him to take the mare to Germany with his own horses, and try and sell her, adding that, if he could manage to win a race or two with her, it would enhance her value, and he denied dis- tinctly that he had ever authorised the defendant to sell the mare outright for £ 100. The plaintiff also said that he had never sold the mare to Baron Mesnil, a Belgian nobleman, for whom he was in the habit of training race- horses; and she had recently won the steeple chase at La Marche races, near Paris, and the baron gave him a present of £ 100, and, in addition to the price he received for the mare, there was an understanding that he was to continue to receive a portion of her winnings. A witness named Arthur Pratt was called, and he stated that he was present when the arrangement was made between the plaintiff a » d the defendant, and he confirmed the version of it that was given oy the former. In cross- examination this witness said that he got his living by travelling about to different races all over the country, and bet- ting. He had formerly kept a gambling booth at races, but that had given him up [ a laugh]. He knew the plaintiff by meeting him at races, but he was not his friend; at least, he did not profit much by him [ a laughj. Mr Hawkins, in his address to the jury, said that in cases of this description they must look to the probabilities of the transaction, and he urged that it would be perfectly absurd to suppose that any person, and particularly a Yorkshire horse dealer— a class of per- sons who were not generally looked upon as the most simple of mankind [ a laugh]— should ever have entered into such an agree- ment as the one suggested by the plaintiff, and under which it was a moral impossibility that he ever could have reaped any benefit. Everybody at all acquainted with such a subject must be well aware of the expense attending the travelling about with race horses ; and it was admitted that in this instance the expenses were much greater than the amount of the winnings; and he said that if the plaintiff were to take the half of those winnings the re- sult would be a dead loss to the defendant. He then said that he should call the defendant, who would tell them what the actual arrangement between them was, and he should then ask them for their verdict. Mr Hanson, the defendant, was accordingly examined, and he stated that at the time referred to he went to the plaintiff ' s esta- blishment to look over the young stock, and in the course of con- versation the plaintiff'told him that he was desirous of getting rid of some of his horses, and as he understood he was going to Ger- many with some of his own horses, he thought that he might pos- sibly be able to dispose of them in that country. He said that the plaintiff at first proposed that he should take three horses, The Deer, Wee Willie, and Topsy, but he refused to have anything to do with the first two, but he'agreed to have Topsy, aud the plain- tiff suggested that she would be more likely to fetch a better price if he was to put her into some race that she would probably win, and it was clearly understood that the expenses were to be divided between them, and if there was a balance after the expenses were paid that was also to be divided. The defendant also swore dis- tinctly that the plaintiff authorised him to sell the mare for £ 100 if he could get that sum, but he would not take less. In pur- suance of this arrangement he said that immediately upon his arrival at Hamburg he entered the mare for three races in that city, but she lost them all, and upon his putting her up for sale only forty Louis d'ors were bid for her, and he bought her in. He also denied positively having represented that the cup he gave the plaintiff was worth £ 100, and he said it would have been absurd for him to do so, as the value of all the prizes at the different races was published in the German Bating Calendar, and also in Bell's Life, and every one knew the value of the different plates. He added that he had given credit for all the money the mare had won, and the expenses mentioned in the interrogatories had all been actually incurred. In cross- examination, the defendant said that there was a dis- pute about the race at Baden- Baden, where the largest stake was won by the mare during the racing expedition. The value of this stake was nominally 360 Louis d'ors, but when the mare was declared to be entitled to the stakes, Captain Haworth, who rode her, and who had come from Spa for that purpose, received them as was customary, and he kept sixty fsr his own services fa laugh]. The Lord Chief Justice said he had always understood that " gentlemen riders" were not paid. The defendant said that in this case the rider deducted 60 Louis d'ors from the stakes, and he had to pay all his expenses besides. It was not very easy to get a " gentleman rider" at Baden- Baden, and he was obliged to send to Spa for one [ laughter]. Sergeant Ballantine, in the course of a most able reply upon the whole case, said that he accepted the suggestion of his learned friend, that the jury ought to look at the probabilities involved in the inquiry before they came to a decision, and he urged that although it was certainly improbable that a Yorkshire horse dealer should make a bargain which did not, upon the faeq of it, appear to be a profitable one, yet that it was quite CHARGE OF MURDER IN LINCOLNSHIRE. — At Lincoln, on Wed- nesday, . John Garner and Elizabeth his wife were tried for the murder of Jemima Garner, mother of the male prisoner. There was ample evidence that a former wife of John Garner, named Hannah, had died nuder suspicious circumstances, while Eliza- beth— then Elizabeth Whittaker— was living in the house as servant, and on terms of intimacy with her master. The rele- vancy of this evidence depends on the further fact that both John and Elizabeth were fully aware that the death had occasioned remark, and during the subsequent illness of Jemima Garner alluded between themselves to the rumours of foul play which were in circulation. The symptoms of both illnesses were those of arsenical poisoning, and the fits of sickness came on after the taking of food prepared by Elizabeth. The family of a Mrs Shep- herd, against whom Elizabeth had a violent grudge, suffered in the same manner after drinking some milk sent by her, and so ominously similar had been the effects on other persons of tasting what Elizabeth had intended for either Hannah Garner or Mrs Shepherd, that the bodies of the former and of Jemima Garner were at last exhumed. Large quantities of arsenic were detected* especially in that of Jemima. Meanwhile, a draw containing enough arsenic mixed with arrowroot to kill fifty people was found on John Garner's premises, and it was proved that ex- pressions had been used both by him and Elizabeth, which amounted to little less than an admission of their guilt. The only favourable evidence elicited in cross- examination went to show that the male prisoner was kind to his mother, except when drunk, and quarrelled with Elizabeth after her death, though they were married within a few months. To any ordinary mind* the probability of the two having conspired to murder Jemima Garner must surely appear equal to a moral certainty. She was undoubtedly poisoned with arsenic in a house occupied by the Erisonersonly, both of whom had often exhibited ill- will towards er. John Garner not only had arsenic in his possession, and was in the habit of selling it, but was found to have mixed it with arrowroot. Elizabeth Garner was actually overheard to threaten her husband that she would poison Mrs Shepherd if he kept company with her, while she talked on other occasions in a way which showed that she was perfectly on her guard. The defence set up was that the poisoning was not wilful, that the arsenic had accidentally been mixed with the arrowroot, and that the utmost guilt to be attached to the prisoners was gross negligence, which could not amount to more than manslaughter. This extraordi- nary defence was viewed favourably by Mr Justice Willes in summing up, and the jury, to the astonishment of everyone, found the prisoners Guilty of Manslaughter, for which they were sentenced to penal servitude for life. MURDER AND SUICIDE ON BOARD A STEAMER.— A desperate murder is reported to have taken place at sea on board the steam ship Grimsby, which arrived in the port of Grimsby, from Ham- burg, on Sunday. It. appeal's, from the statement of Mr Isaac Freeman, an interpreter, that the ship left Hamburg on March 13,, with 10 emigrant passengers ; and on March 14, about five p. m.,. while the emigrants were talking together in the fore cabin, one of them, named Schlosmacher, of Potsdam, suddenly, and with- out any provocation, fell upon a man named Johann Frederick Lowerensen, of Schleswig, another emigrant, and stabbed him in the abdomen with a dagger knife, causing almost instant death. The murderer was immediately secured by the crew, and lashed in the roundhouse on deck, and locked up. On Sunday morning, about six o'clock, it was found that he had broken loose, and had hanged himself with the lashings. It is supposed that Schlos- macher was seized with a sudden fit of insanity when he com- mitted the murder, as the parties had not known each ether previously. THE LATE MUEDER AT HEYFOBD.— On Wednesday the con- demned prisoner, Noah Austin, fully confessed that he was the murderer of Mr Allen, at Heyford, Oxfordshire. The confession was made before the Rev Dr Wynter, President of St John's Col- lege, attended by Mr Davenport, the clerk of the peace of the county. The execution is fixed to take place on Tuesday next. THREATENING LETTEBS IN IRELAND.— At the Tipperary assizes, on Wednesday, William Fogarty was found guilty of sending a threatening letter. The document was of the usual character. Baron Hughes, in sentencing him to four years' penal servitude, said:—" You have been convicted on the clearest evi- dence of a most serious offence, for the man who will in secret send a threatening letter to another is coward enough to hire an assassin to take the life of him against whom he has a grudge. In an adjoining county a wretched man lies who will shortly for- feit his life to the outraged laws of his country for hiring a felon, who has already suffered, to commit murder. Your crime is one which breaks up social harmony, and spreads terror throughout the community." COLLISION ON THE GBEAT WESTERN RAILWAY.— A collision occurred on Wednesday evening at the Southall station on this line of railway, which, had the trains contained passengers, would have been attended with serious results. The trains were the 7: 10 from Paddington and the 8: 20, both goods, and the former was shunting on the narrow gauge from the down line to the siding at Southall, when the signalman inadvertently turned a wrong signal and allowed the 8: 20 broad gauge goods to come down the line, and it thereupon ran with great force into the first train as it stood across the line. The consequence was that the tender of the narrow gauge engine was turned completely upside down, and the engine itself was considerably damaged. The driver and stoker fortunately observed the train approaching, and, finding they were placed in imminent peril, instantly jumped off the engine and escaped injury. The accident quite blocked up the line, and a telegram was at once sent off, and a number of labourers were soon on the spot. After several hours had elapsed the line was cleared and the traffic resumed.

The grain markets in the provinces have, in comparison with many previous weeks, been rather more sparingly supplied with Englisn Wheat, together with some Increase in the demand, has imparted a more healthy aspect to the trade, and a very general rise has been the conse- quence; but this only applies to the best conditioned qualities. Barley, Oats, Beans, and Peas, the trade has been dull. The total supply of home- grown grain and flour at Mark- lane this week has been in small compass; but we have had fair arrivals of foreign Wheat, Barley, and American Flour, and a large quantity of Oats. Buyers were not numer- ous this morning, and the demand for English and foreign Wheat was steady, at prices equal to Monday. The inquiry for Flour was quiet, at unaltered rates. The transactions in Barley limited, but prices firm. The show of Oats good, aud demand active, at Monday's decline. Peas and Beans were not much inquired for, and prices in favour of buyers.

SUPPLEMENT TO BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. On SUNDAY NEXT, a GRATUITOUS SUP- PLEMENT will be published with « Bell's Life in London." SPORTING CHRONICLE. [ LATEST EDITION.] THE TURF. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S. MONDAY, MAKCH 16.— The greater part of the afternoon was occupied with the Liverpool settling, which was a tolerably heavy one, and the betting which eventually took place did not assume a very extensive range. Grimston and Knutsford were " head and head" for the Northamptonshire Stakes until about the close, when Mr Parr's horse was slightly the better favourite, for while 15 to 2 was booked about him, the last bet about Knutsford was 800 to 100. Of the others quoted for this event, Gorse was perhaps most enquired after. The Glenochty colt had beeu in some demand in the City for the City and Suburban, in the course of the morning, at 100 to 6, but as nothing was done about him at " the Corner,'' we can give him no definite price. 20 to 1 was currently offered against Gardener, but backers gene- rally stood out for a few points more. Beachy Head appeared to have many friends, and from 35 to 1 advanced to 30 to 1. Nothing whatever was done on the Chester Cup, for although several offers • were made to take 20 to 1 about Stradella, layers refused to spring anything over IS to 1. Hospodar was firm for the Two Thousand— the highest " bid'' against him being 3 to 1— and Saceharometer was again " looking up,'' for after 500 to 100 had been betted, half a point less was taken. The first bet booked about Rapid Rhone was 550 to 50, at which price he was after- wards steadily supported. The same odds were taken once or twice about Michael Scott, and a point more rather freely about Blue Mantle. 300 to 200 was booked about the two favourites coupled. Lord Clifden's party rallied round him manfully for the Derby, and 1,200 to 200 was booked in one bet about him, and his owner further betted 2,000 to 1,000 that he beat 8accharometer, " one to win,'' and another 2,000 to 1,000 " best in their places." The last bet we saw booked about the latter was 1,100 to 100, and a point more would have been taken about Hospodar. Automaton was again invested on at 23 to 1. National Guard was backed at odds varying from 33 to 1 to 30 to 1, and the former price was once taken about Kapid Rhone, who would have been supported for money at anything over that price.

MR EDITOR : You have, in your last week's paper, given some account of my late dear brother's life. May I be allowed to cor- rect an error as to the place where he was born ? Not at Bristol, but Wick and Abson, about midway between Bath and Bristol.— Yours, & c, RICHARD GULLY. 6, " Vineyards, Bath, March 17. [ We hear, upon further inquiry, that Mr Gully and " The Squire" never went out, an explanation being offered after the latter had taken up the poker. There was, however, a very general impression that they had had a meeting; and, curiously enough, the story went the round of the papers only a year or two before Mr Gully's death, without his ever contradicting it! Hence our reference to the matter.] CONTENTS OF THE SUPPLEMENT. RACING IN CHINA : CANTON RACES. STEEPLE CHASING : THE MARKET HARBOROUGH RULES.

Day has repurchased Yoluptas of Young King, and the mare returned to her old quarters on Friday. « . We very much regret to announce that Sir Tatton Sykes has been recently attacked with dropsy, and is in so precarious a state as to occasion the most serious apprehensions as to the result. George Mann, who has beeu for some time resident in France, has recently made an arrangement with Mr W. Stebbings, in whose establishment he is now located. Mr Popham's black colt foal by Yoltigeur out of Spots has been named The Black Prince; and his filly foal by Wild Dayrell out of Sagacity, Partition. Mr W. Day's filly by Tadmor out of Merry Sunshine's dam, who ran in the Two Year Old Stakes at Warwick on Thursday, has been named Overcast. LLANBOIDY RACES AND STEEPLE CHASES.— We are requested to call the attention of owners of iiorses to the advertisement of this meeting, which appears in our columns to- day, and to remind them that several of the stakes close on Tuesday next, March 24. The Wolverhampton Meeting will take place on Monday and Tuesday, the 10th and 11th of August, instead of Tuesday and Wednesday, as originally advertised. The alteration has been made by the stewards in order to prevent clashing with Reading. At the stallion show, which takes place, as usual, at Wood- bridge, during the fair, on April 7, two silver cups will this year be offered— the one for the best thorough bred horse, and the other for the best cart horse. SAM ROGERS.— This accomplished artist has accepted an en- gagement with Lord Stamford, and his lordship will have the call of his services after his old employers, Mr Lowther, Lord Wm. Powlett, and Lord Uxbridge. The following two year olds, belonging to Mr R. C. Naylor, arrived at Goddmg's stables from Hooton Hall, on Tuesday:— Roseneath, chesnut colt, by Mountain Deer; Adine, bay colt, by Orlando; Anduenise, bay filly, by Newminster; Linda, bay filly, by King Tom. FORFEIT LIST.— The forfeit of the following horse has been paid:— Bowman, 1860. The forfeits of the following, not due from their present owners, have been charged to them to qualify as the horses were entered:— Grimston, Loiterer, Speedy, Heads or Tails, Redpole, Leading Article, Sawcutter. FUNERAL OF MR GULLY.— This gentleman was interred on Saturday, the 14th inst, at Ackworth Park. His remains arrived at Knottingley Station from his seat near Durham, a little before eleven o'clock, and were conveyed to Pontefract. The minute bell was tolled, and about twelve o'clock the funeral procession passed through the borough as follows:— The mayor, corporation, inha- bitants of the town, two abreast, hearse drawn by four horses, mourning coaches, and private carriages. The Ratcliffe Meeting will take place on the Monday and Tues- day in " Whit week," two days preceding the Manchester Summer Meeting. The course, which is situate on the estate of the Earl of Wilton, has been taken on a twenty- one years' lease by a few of the Manchester turfites, who are about to expend £ 1,000 in im- proving the ground and in building anew Stand. The track will be a mile and a quarter in circumference, and free from the sharp and objectionable turns that have hitherto been the source of so much danger to jockeys. HAMPTON COURT.— On Wednesday last his Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Hesse Cassel, his Serene Highness the Duke of Holsteiri Glucksburg, attended by the members of their suite, and accompanied by the Marquis of Ailesbury ( Master of the Horse). Colonel Maude, and Colonel Du Plat, paid a visit to the Royal Stud at Hampton Court. The illustrious party appeared very much pleased with all they saw, more particularly the Prince of Hesse, who had not forgotten his visit in 1851. After partaking of luncheon at the Greyhound Hotel, and paying a hasty visit to the palace, they returned to town shortly after five o'clock. BAILY'S TURF GUIDE AND RACING REGISTER..— The Spring Edition of this very valuable work has just been issued, and fully maintains its high reputation. The volume, which is most taste- fully got up, and is embellished with a oapital likeness of Aldcroft, contains, as usual, a vast mass of information interesting to racing men, amongst which may be specified the nominations for the coming season ( carefully " indexed), the principal Derby lots, alphabetical lists of trainers and jockeys, a full record of sales of blood stock, & c. Altogether we have much pleasure in recom- mending the " Guide" as a most excellent pocket companion to all who take an interest in matters connected with the Turf. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : I write to caution the public against the impostor who advertised in your columns on Saturday, March 14, under the signature of " Judex,'' stating that he had advised Emblem for the Grand National, and Yaller Gal for a place, which, it is need- less to say, I did nat. Such unscrupulous men are always to be found ready to plunder the public; but, as they have always been exposed in your columns, I trust the individual alluded to will be in this instance. In the first place he has no right to as- sume my nom deplume. To do so is to obtain money under false pretences, and I hope the sporting community will need no further caution than this letter to prevent themselves from being fleeced. In conclusion, I may state that no one has authority to write under the signature of " Judex" but myself, because anyone doing so leaves himself open to the full penalties of the law of registration. Trusting to your insertion of the above, I have the honour to remain, sir, your obedient servant, Manchester, March 19, 186- 3. " JUDEX.'' Although the average of the fields for the various events at Don- caster, on Monday and Tuesday last, fell short of the number that ran at the last Spring Meeting, owing to the steeple chase proving a blank, consequent upon the rather unexpected appearance of Emblem, the winner of the Liverpool Steeple Chase, and the paucity of horses that have hitherto been brought out for their spring engagements, the management exerted themselves to the utmost to secure a good meeting, and they have no cause to be disheartened under the present circumstances, the more espe- cially as the principal event in the programme mustered five more runners than last year. The weather for an early Spring Meeting was fine, but a cold north- easterly wind rendered winter clothing more of a comfort than a burden, and the coats of many of the horses looked dry and " staring," on being stripped in the chilly air that swept over the town moor. The course was in beautiful going order, neither too hard to shake a " cripple," nor too heavy for a weedy- made young one. Five out of the seven events in the first day's programme only were decided, the other two failing to fill; and the first of these, the Trial Stakes, was landed by Wetsail, a big- limbed but rather coarse- looking gelding, upsetting a great " pot" in Semiramis, upon whom 5 to 4 was freely laid; but she ran very badly, and the win- ner, who got the best of the start, held his own to the end, although run to a head by Comet. Respecting Killarney, who did not run, a slight error appeared in my last in estimating her chance for this race, through a sentence being inadvertently omitted. I was made to say, " Killarney never ran in a public trial," the words omitted being " ex- cept at Nottingham, where she ran very badly." The Doncaster Spring Handicap fell to the share of Joey J ones, who was brought out in brilliant form. The good- looking filly Starbeam won the Hopeful Stakes, and Adventurer landed the Londesborough Plate, for which his racing- like form made him the favourite, as his victory subsequently did for the City and Suburban. The second day's running opened with the Betting- room Stakes, and ended in the defeat of Lord Adolphus by a short head. Stockman, the winner, is a candidate for the Derby and St Leger, and one of the very best class of horses I have seen out this year. Standing over 16 hands high, with proportionate furniture, and good galloping points, he is a picture to look at. A light- made colt, by Teddington out of Sa- bra, ran badly; as also did the only other competitor, Sir Watkin, a lengthy but heavy looking colt, with sluggish action. Wetsail was again brought out to win the Scurry Stakes easily, notwithstand- ing his 71b penalty for winning the Trial on the preceding day. The Hunt Stakes brought eight competitors to the post. Miss Taft, ridden by Mr Thompson, won easily, Hetman, a very good- looking horse, likely to make a steeple" chaser, giving her 171b, and finishing second. Nothing came out to dispute the superiority of Emblem for the Steeple Chase, although Lincoln, with Knott engaged to ride him, was on the ground ; and the spectators, many of whom had taken up their positions in the neighbourhood of the most difficult fences, were dis- appointed of their fun. Neither Stevens nor the mare looked in such good form as at Liverpool, the former suffering from a severe cold, and the latter rather " jaded;" she shivered like an aspen leaf on being stripped, as also after the little warming she received in cantering from the distance to the chair— all that was requisite according to the new code of rules, when no com- petitor appears at the post— and the journey over the course, in this instance, was willingly dispensed with. The added " hun- dred'' was, of course, withheld. Cronstadt walked over for the forfeits in the Innkeepers' Plate, and a somewhat indifferent afternoon's racing was wound up with the Don Steeplechase, the most excitable event of the day, for which 6 to 4 was freely laid on Glautias; but the old horse so repeatedly refused as to ex- tinguish his chance, and the money was landed by Jack in the Green, a very fair sort of hunter. The majority of the company left for Warwick the same evening, where the racing, though not decidedly good, was an improvement upon the second day's sport at Doncaster; but the principle event of the meeting, the Great Warwickshire Handicap, may be recorded as a failure, as, outof forty- three subscribers, only five came to the post. The course, as at Doncaster, wasj in good order, and the racing commenced with a Match for 50, between Pip and Paddy from Cork, two miles, which was a tame affair, the former winning by twenty lengths. The Racing Stakes was won by The Flower Safety, who, entered for 50 sovs, was sold to Mr. W. Scott for 135 guineas. LeMarechal, grown into as neat and true- made a three year old as ever was foaled, defeated Atherstone, who came out as fit as a horse could be made, by a clever length for the Trial Stakes, Twilight and Sea King being the only other competitors. A Sweepstakes of 25 sovs was landed by Yandervelde, a light but elean- made and fashionable- looking colt, by Vandermulin out of Reflection, Coimbra being his only opponent. A Handicap of 50 sovs was won by Queen of the Vale, beating Peignoir and five others, in- cluding the quick- actianed two year old Measure for Measure, whose running was all taken out of her by the many false starts, in which she always had the lead. The Willoughby Handicap ended in a walk over for Loiterer, and the Stand Handicap was won by the slashing Suburban, to the evident delight of his owner. A good- looking gelding, by Oulston, won the Farmers' Plate, beating a field of six. The second day's running commenced with the Debdale 8takes, won easily by Little Dick. Batsman, a rather plain- looking colt, but with grand and easy action, landed the Walton Handicap and Suburban, who was receiving 121b from Optimist and 91b from Dulcibella, won the Great Warwickshire Handicap, although his forte hitherto has not not been considered to extend over so long a journey. The race for the Two Year Old Stakes, for which a dozen were stripped, caused much unpleasant- ness from the long delay at the post, and threatens to re- vive the vexed question of last year, as to the capabilities of certain officials, and the manner of starting at present in vogue, which is certainly open to and capable of being much improved. Starbeam and Whitefield got an advantage of several lengths as the lot left the starting post, to which Lord Stamford, tired of the delay, had walked down from the Stewards'Stand, while Lady Nichol, who had all the best of the innumerable false starts, and ran a great part of the course each time, was standing alone some lengths behind the two leaders. Behind most of the others stood the Area filly and Faith, consequently they were left behind when the flag was lowered. I have in previous articles expressed my high opinion in favour of Starbeam, but I consider this race no criterion of her merits, as Whitefield and Bristles are both exceedingly well- grown and well- shaped animals; and had the latter got off on even terms with the leaders, it would, with Lady Nichol and Faith also to the fore, have probably resulted in a grand finish with the five, although I still fancy Starbeam would have won. Ellerton won a Handicap Plate of six furlongs, and Little Dick won the Hurdle Race after coming on his nose at the last obstacle, but was recovered by a masterly piece of horsemanship by Ben Land, and ridden home with one stirrup. The next meeting on the list of fixtures is Northampton, which is always looked forward to with a greater degree of pleasure by the lovers of racing than any of its predecessors, from the fact of its being solely confined to events of a more important character on the flat. The Northamptonshire Stakes is, as usual, the principal item in the voluminous broadsheet, for which the entries are not quite up to those of last year; but the muster at the post may be, nevertheless. Just a hundred were nominated for this event, fifty- five of whom declared within the prescribed time, and four have since paid forfeit. Stampedo, with 9st, stands at the head of the list that still remain in ; but being advertised to cover at the Messrs Barrow's stud farm at Newmarket, he may be set aside. This leaves Rapparee with the top weight, 8st lllb, but as his legs have recently shown unmistakable signs of giving way, it is not likely we shall see him in public for some time to come. The next in rotation stands Fairwater with 8st 101b, too much for a mare © f her calibre, and to whom Oldminster, with 8st 51b, if well, must have a superior chance. Croagh Patrick, 8st 31b, is not likely to show, or the race would almost have been a foregone conclusion; but the stable has another representative, equally dangerous, in Knutsford, 5 yrs, 8st lib, whose performances are superior to anything in the race. Carisbrook, 4 yrs, 8st 31b, although a fair horse, whose build is suitable to the course, can scarcely give 21b and the year to Knutsford. Gorse, 4 yrs, 7st 41b, has been supported on the strength of her beating Caller Ou for a Queen's Plate, two miles five furlongs, at Doncaster, last Sep- tember ; but as she failed to run up to mediocrity in many other engagements, when leniently weighted, I cannot attach much im- portance to her beating the winner of the 86 Leger, as the uncer- tainty of the latter's running is notorious. Grimston, 4 yrs, 7st 51b, showed some good form and proved his ability to stay when he beat Haddington, Captain Crow, The Knave, Brilliant, Virgilius, and Sweetbriar in the Lothians Handicap, two miles, at Edin- burgh. He had the best of the weights, it is true, but he won very easily, and it would seem that, although he ran pretty well in some one mile engagements prior to the above performance, double the distance may suit him better, especially with the extra year's growth. He also won the North Riding Handicap, one mile and a half, at Northallerton, beating Weatlierwise, the same age, giving her a stone, find half a dozen more horses at fair weights. Hartington, 4 yrs, 8st lib, won the Cesarewitch, with 5st 101b, and as the Voltigeur stock generally improve with keeping, I expect him to run pretty forward, not- withstanding his great, weight. Man at Arms, 6 yrs, 7st 81b, is nicely weighted, and although his performances have not been very creditable latterly, his chance is far from hopeless. Bal- ham, 5 yrs, 7st 101b, is not to be despised, as he won the Worcester Handicap last year, beating seventeen very fair horses ; and al- though he had a little the best of the weights, he won easily by ten lengths, Aurelian, Costa, Brilliant, Exchequer, Myrtle, My Mary, and Merry Maid being amongst the lot behind him. Rouge Dragon, 5 yrs, 7st 101b, has had a season's rest, and should come out fresh, but I am unable to give an opinion as to his chance until I see him at the post. Benjamin, 4 yrs, 7st 31b, a French bred colt, by Womersley, won the Trial Stakes at Doncaster Spring Meeting last year, beating Dusk ( who conceded him 31b) and four more middling horses, but his other performances are very moderate. Somebody's Luggage, aged, 7st 71b, I have yet to make out, and Mr Hughes's aged couple, M Philippe and Physician, by Chanticleer, I must decline to express my opinion upon. Harlequin, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, is by Voltigeur, to whose get I am particularly partial for a race of this distance, and if the colt has only improved in proportion to his age, I expect to see him run very well. Incitatus, 4 yrs, 6st 121b, has a nice weight, and is a fair performer over a mile; but whether he or Lord Stanley can stay twice that distance in such com- pany as he now figures is questionable. The Lady Evelyn colt, 4 yrs, 6st lllb, has now a good chance to prove her quality, as she is not overloaded with weight and comes of a good family. Berkeley, 4 yrs, 6st lllb, has only accepted for this engagement out of four for which he was nominated. He was one of the first horses backed for the Chester Cup on the appearance of the weights, and quite a sensation was created when his name did not appear in the list of acceptances. Why the public should " rush on" such a horse I have ever been at a loss to conceive, for he ran a bad colt in his two year old en- gagements, and last year only ran in one short race, and finished " nowhere." African, 4 yrs, 6st 101b, has much better credentials, and is in my opinion one of the best of the outside division. Atta- mau, 4 yrs, 6st 101b, did a good thing when he ran Master George — one of the best colts of his age— to a neck for a Queen's Plate at Bedford, Gleam and Shepherdess finishing a long way behind the two. Freeholder, 4 yrs, 6st 81b, can be of no use in this race, according to his running in the Ascot Stakes, when Knutsford gave him 241b, and finished second to Rapparee. Fee, 5 yrs, 6st 61b, is much the lightest weighted five year old in the race, but his lenient treatment will not make up for his want of quality. Of the three year olds engaged the best appear to be Canzonette, 5st 101b ( about whom, however, the market, movements are now most threatening), Voluptas, 5st 91b, Muffler, 5st 121b, Chaff, 5st 71b, and Brother to Springbok. But my opinion is decidedly in favour of the older horses for a race of this distance, and I believe that Knutsford will first catch the judge's eye; but failing him, I shall select Oldminster and Grimston to represent the winner. Thirty- five horses have accepted for Earl Spencer's Plate, about six furlongs; of these Lady Clifden heads the list with 9st 91b, too much for her to bring to the post. Queen of Trumps, 4 yrs, is a sterling good mare, and although she has to carry a tolerably heavy weight, I believe her equal to the task " of finishing very forward. Argonaut, 4 yrs, 8st 21b, is a questionable starter, although a fair horse. Biondella is a flyer, but I am afraid the weight, 8st lib, will stop her. Lord Stamford has Bertha, Little Lady, and Flying Fish engaged. The latter is a big, good- looking filly, and the course being straight and suitable to her build, I cannot, with her running at Nottingham in my eye, see that her chance with 6st 81b is hopeless; but much will depend upon what is sent to represent the stable. Zora, 5 yrs, 7st 41b, is a very quick beginner, and if she comes out will, doubtless, run forward. Gazelle, 4 yrs, 6st 131b, is a very smart filly, and ought to finish respectably with the weight. Newmarket is a smart three year old. Alvediston, 8st lib, I can scarcely think so good as Queen of Trumps at the weight, although he should finish forward. Having seen but few of the animals engaged out this season, I am unable to select anything better to represent the best of those likely to run than the above- named horses, and I expect to see the winner in the se- lected of Lord Stamford's lot. or Queen of Trumps. The Whittle- bury Stakes has forty subscribers. Mr W. Day has four engaged, one three year old and three two year olds, of whom I have the best opinion of the Merry Sunshine filly, though she is a small- framed animal; but as his stable is in good form now, he may produce something better on the day. The filly by Lord Faucon- bergoutof Cossack Maid is a well- grown, good- looking animal, sure to run well if she starts; as also Bristles, by Vedette out of Pigskin— these, with the best of Lord Stamford's, must represent my selection for this event. The Racing Stakes, run on the second day, also looks like a gift to Lord Stamford, with either Le Marechal or Barchettina. The St Liz Handicap will depend so much tipon previous running that I must decline making a more definite selection than Wetsail, who will have to put up no penalty for winning at Doncaster, Merry Maid, or Revolver. A Sweepstakes of 20 sovs each, for two year olds, has eight engaged, of whom Coimbra must represent my choice. The Althorp Park Stakes numbers just thirty, from among whom I expect Echo, Battaglia, Procella, and Lady Hylda will produce the winner, the former for choice. The Northamptonshire Cup Stakes is most likely to be carried off by Oakapple or Revolver. The single day's meeting at Croxton Park, which follows the attractive and important Steeple Chase Meeting at Market Har- borough, will so much depend upon the result of the running at Northampton that any attempt to predict a winner will be ex tremely hazardous. The Grariby Handicap has fifty- three sub- scribers, forty of whom paid forfeit, leaving only thirteen con- tents ; of these, Eidolon, Oak- apple, and Sinking Fund look the best upon paper, and if the latter comes to the post, he shall have my preference. Comet looks well for the Belvoir Castle Stakes, and Loiterer ought to win the Cup; in his absence, the chance of Old Bridegroom with 9st 121b is not hopeless. Incitatus or one of Lord Wilton's pair, the Lady Evelyn colt or Herdsman, may land the Walthain Plate ; and the Billesdon Coplow Stakes should fall to the lot of The Doctor or Canteen. CENTAUR. Horses marked * are in the Derby, t in the Oaks, J in the Leger. THE BATH AND WEST OF ENGLAND SOCIETY STALLION SHOW AT EXETER. The above influential agricultural society lias this year insti- tuted two classes for stud horses. The first and more important of these embraces an offer of £ 50, with a second prize of £ 1?, for thorough bred horses " best calculated to get hunters and hacks." In the second division a premium of £ 30 goes to the owner of the stallion " best calculated to get stock suited to agricultural pur- poses," with £ 10 for the second. The owners of the prize horses will have to produce satisfactory evidence, on or before the 5th July next, of their horses having served at least forty mares dur- ing the current season, within the area comprised in thefollowing counties:— Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Somerset, Wilts, and Glou- cester ; the thorough bred horses at fees not exceeding five gui- neas; and the cart horses at fees not exceeding two guineas. They will likewise be required to exhibit the prize horses on Tuesday, the 9th, and Wednesday, the 10th days of June next in the show yard of the society at Exeter, when the great annual meeting is held. These two classes came accordingly before the judges, as duly appointed, at Exeter, on Friday last, March 20. The several horses entered had capital accommodation provided for them in the Cavalry Barracks, and the Parade, laid down, in grass afforded the finest possible show ring, well adapted alike for the chief per- formers in the circle as for the mere lookers- on. The thorough bred class ran to nine entries, but of these one or two were backed with very imperfect pedigrees, whilst the more legitimate num- bered amongst them Hungerford, 15 years; Brocket, 13 years; Ratan, 22 years; Frederick, 8 years; The Bald- faced Stag, 8 years; Young Touchstone, 15 years; and Swalcliff'e, 10 years. The judges, Mr H. Gibson, of Haldon, Exeter; and Mr G. J. Waters, of Salisbury, awarded the first prize of 50 guineas to Mr W. Barrett, of Puddave*, Totness, for his chesnut horse Ratan, by Buzzard, dam by Picton ; and the second, of £ 15, to Mr R. G. Luxton, of Bruxford, Wembworthy, for his chesnut horse, The Bald- faced Stag, by Harkaway out of Palma, by Plenipotentiary. The judges of cart horses ( Mr G. D. Badham, of Bulmer, Suf- folk, and Mr J. Wippell, of Exeter) gave the first prize of £ 30 to Mr W. King, of Withleigh Inn, Tiverton, for his roan horse Model; and the second of £ 10 to Mr J. Horswell, of North Mil- ton, Lew Down, Exeter, for his brown Clydesdale, Stapleton. The award for the thorough bred premiums is already very warmly discussed. HORSES STRUCK OUT OF THEIR ENGAGEMENTS.

Almost every known breed is included in the catalogue: while the dogs for the gun and the field are well faced by other sorts, and the interest of the show heightened by the many " pets '' and " fancies " of London life. Mr E. T. Smith has evinced great taste in the arrangement of the picturesque show- ground at his command, and with favourable weather his meeting of next week promises to be quite a holiday time for his early visitors WARWICK SPRING MEETING. Stewards: Earl of Stamford and Warrington, Earl of Aylesford, Lord Bateman, and Baron De La Motte. Judge: Mr Clark. Starter: Mr T. M'George. Clerk of the Course: Mr 8. Merry. Reversing in some degree the order of things from last year, when the Warwick Spring Meeting commenced on Tuesday, and was followed by the Grand Military Steeple Chases over the War- wick course on the Friday and Saturday, the meeting on this occasion was moved forward to the Wednesday, so as not to inter- fere with the military chases which were arranged for the begin- ning of the week, the venue being changed from Warwick to Rugby. The same remarks that we have already had occasion to make respecting the comparatively scanty supply of sport, or rather small fields, of some of thejpast early meetings apply to the Warwick Spring, for with one or two exceptions the competitors for the various events on the flat were fewer in number than upon the preceding anniversary. On the other hand there was a very perceptible improvement in the attendance, to which the mild genial state of the weather, in some degree at least, conduced. The proceedings, as at the last Spring fixture, opened with a match with Messrs Formby and Park, Pip, a scion of Tadmor out of Katie Stewart, ridden by Mr Rich, being the representative of the former gentleman, while Paddy from Cork was piloted by his owner. The latter, albeit he was conceding his opponent a stone over the two mile, was made the favourite, but suffered easy defeat from Pip. This pre- liminary " little go" having been disposed of to the satisfaction of the takers of odds, the Racing Stakes, for which the entered six started, was next brought to issue, the aptly named Flower Safety, by Wild Dayrell out of Nettle, having at last the call of the others. It will doubtless be remembered that when the favourite last appeared in public, at the Houghton Meeting— having pre- viously given Sam Rogers a specimen of her temper a day or two before— she ran away with young Sam Adams, and after many unavailing attempts to start her for a Two Year Old Handicap Sweepstakes the others were despatched with- out her. This time, however, it was 3ibyl, who— fractious as ever— displayed her vagaries, and for some half- hour dashed wildly about the meadows, once unshipping Jemmy Grimshaw. But Sam Adams was this time more fortunate with his mount, for The Flower bloomed in the front at the finish, and, entered for 50 sovs, was sold to Mr W. Scott for 135 guineas. The Trial, for which a moiety of the entered eight wenttothe post, was generally esteemed a good thing for Atherstone, although not a few quietly invested on Le Marechal after noting the fine condition in which his trainer had brought him out, and they were rewarded by the clever manner in which he stalled off the favourite at the finish. At the spur of the moment as little as 100 to 7 was taken about the winner directly afterwards for the Chester Cup, and subsequently 100 to 6 several times ; finally, however, 20 to 1 might have been had without much difficulty. The Two Year Old Sweepstakes was reduced to a match with Vandervelde, a son of Vandermeulin, and Lord Bateman's filly Coimbra, and the former, who was a hot favourite, had it all his own way. Somewhat ominously, the name of " Monacella ( dead)" appeared on the card for the above event, following Lord Stamford's other nomination, Bara- cola, the filly by Fisherman out of Durbar. It is only a few weeks ago we were called upon to record the death of the former, who was a somewhat heavily engaged fllly, and Baracola, who had arrived at Warwick to run for this engagement, was suddenly seized with congestion of the lungs this morning, and died at night. It is a noteworthy fact that of the comparatively few ef Fisherman's stock in this country no fewer than four have died within the last few months. The suc- cessful running of Measure for Measure at Derby led to her in- stalment as first favourite for the Handicap, five furlongs, for which she was the only tw » year old entered. The long and tiresome delay at the post, however, during which she frequently broke away to an extent that must have taken " something out of her," coupled with her running out in the race at the first turn, prevented anything like further " measure" of her real capabili- ties being taken; and Queen of the Vale, with Custance up, landed Baron Rothschild's colours by a clever half length from Peignoir. Touching Measure for Measure, who is trained by S. Walker, we may remark that, although she was currently re- ported to be some pounds better than Mr Marsh's other filly, Lady Nichol, trained by R. I'Ansen, they have never been toge- ther. Dulcibella being reserved for the Warwickshire Handi- cap on the morrow, the Willoughby Handicap went off in a walk over for Loiterer, the task of cantering him over the two miles being consigned to Fordham. Last year, with his owner up, he ran second for this race, which was won by Warminster, an issue that had the double effect of causing " the Count's" horse to start first favourite for the Great Warwickshire Handicap on the following day— which he pulled off— and of bringing War- minster into some note at long shots subsequently for the Derby. Suburban had only three common platers to meet for the Stand Handicap, but the horse, who looked as fit as need be and " as fresh as paint," ran in a style that led to the inference that he could have beaten something better had they come in his way. As a finale to the day's racing came, as usual, the Farmers' Plate, for which we are glad to say— for it is usually a case of " much ado about nothing"— there were no objections, although^ the rider of the grey mare, Lily, by Young Cardinal, not being provided with the regular certificate of having been " regularly hunted" at the time of weighing out, the mare could not be deemed an eligible starter. However, on the principle we presume of pleasing him- self and hurting no one, her rider joined in the fray, and the race, which was at last confined to the favourite— Little Lady, by Can- nobie— and the bay gelding by Oulston, dam by Cowl, granddam The Mite ( both four year olds), was won easily by the latter, a re- markably clever hunter, ably ridden by Mr Bawcutt. Betting on future events did not take a very wide range, and was chiefly noteworthy for the rush with which Canzonette came into the market for the Northamptonshire Stakes, for as little as 8 to 1 was taken about her, whereas at Tattersall's on Monday 20 to 1 was offered. Knutsford was, however, again first favourite for this race at 7 to I, and a point more was offered against Grimston, while 10 to 1 was the highest offer against Ad- venturer for the City and Suburban, and 5,000 to 50 was booked about Stockman for the Derby. With regard to the starting it was " the old, old story,'' and while some were willing to blame the official alone for incompetence others averred the mischief lay rather with certain of tliejockeys. We can only repeat that, until some stringent measures are adopted, and so long as short spins are the fashion, there can be little hope of improvement, and it is absolutely disheartening to look forward to the scenes likely to be enacted in getting off, or rather in endeavouring to get off, large fields for some of the principal races during the present sea- son. " Starting" is the present Turf difficulty, and, like the Gor- dian knot, the evil requires to be dealt with summarily and de- cisively. Settling and some further speculation preceded the racing on mustering in the Ring on Thursday morning, when the attend- ance was even more numerous than on the previous day, and it was soon manifest that those who had rushed to get on Canzonette were either on the wrong scent or in too much of a hurry, for 100 to 8 was offered against her, while the ardour to back Adven- turer for the City and Suburban had so far abated that 12 to 1 was offered on the field. Among the notices posted in the enclosure was one offering a reward of £ 50 for the recovery of " a bundle of notes" lost on the previous day, the impression of the loser, Mr Loy, being that he had been eased of them by some of the light- fingered fraternity. Little Dick, who appeared to- day in his ca- pacity of " a hunter," started the best favourite for the Debdale Stakes, which he landed right easily. The wagering on the Wal- ton Handicap opened at 5 to 4 on the very leniently weighted Batsman, but on that hard- mouthed colt bolting away with Mur- fett, the betting changed to 6 to 4 agst him ; his bolting, how- ever, had in no way affected his chance, and he ran home the easiest of winners, as he was indeed bound to do. The Oulston gelding the winner of the Farmers'Plate the previous day— was, we may note, weighed for, but did not go to the post. Five— just the sufficient number to secure the money being added— were te- legraphed as starters for the Great Warwickshire, and of these Tolurno, penalised 51b for his Lincoln victory, was in most esteem, the next in request being Dulcibella at 5 to 2. Tolurno, however, it would appear was not good enough at the weight, but anyhow nothing had a chance with Suburban, who somewhat oddly, after his running the previous day, was the " worst favourite" of the quartette backed. The general presumption, however, appeared to be that he was out of his course over two miles, but pull- ing over his horses most of the journey he dispelled the delusion, and after losing his place at the last turn, which necessitated the going round his horses, he came up on the outside, and for the second year in succession the race was accredited to Count Batthyany. Optimist, although he ran home second, broke down just at the finish. A dozen youngsters started for the Two Year Old Stakes, comprising three " pre- vious winners," Lady Nichol, Starbeam, and Whitfield— each of these fillies being complimented with a 4lb pe- nalty, despite which, however, the two first- named were most fancied. The race was set for three o'clock, but an hour was con- sumed in getting the lot off, and during the interim Lord Stam- ford, as well as the Clerk of the Course, proceeded to the post. When at length the flag fell to a miserable start, the race was vir- tually over, for Starbeam and Whitfield got the best of it, some lengths in advance of the favourite and the others, and to the two the spin was in point of fact confined, " the match" ending in favour of Starbeam by a head. After the race, complaints followed both against the starter and certain of the joekxys, three of whom, Reeves, Grimshaw, and Pavne, were fined £ 10 each. A pleasant prospect this, as we have already remarked, for the future, unless something is done beyond simply complaining of starters and fining jockeys. Ellerton, who was esteemed good enough at the weights to bet 2 to 1 on, defeated his five opponents for the Handicap Plate, a mile, and Little Dick added the hurdle race to his previous win ; of the three others the selected Prophet blundered at the hurdles at the foot of the hill, and so ended his part in the contest. Canzonette retro- grated still further for the Northamptonshire Stakes, and " went away" to offers of 25 to 1, while Knutsford and Grimston still remained at the head of affairs. African was invested on at 14 to 1. incitatus at 25 to 1, and 1,000 to 30 was booked about Zeloo. Hospodar was firm for the Two Thousand at 3 to 1, and 5 to 1 was offered against Saccharometer. The weather on Friday was still propitious, though somewhat breezy, but the attendance was scarcely so great as usual on the Steeple Chase day. With regard to the doings of the day our remarks must of necessity be brief. Flower Safety won the Scurry easily; Irely won the Union Cup with plenty to spare, and was afterwards objected to on the ground of being wrongly described on the card, but on its being shown that it was merely a printer's error, it was withdrawn. Respecting the principal Steeple Chase we have only time to remark that the finale was in favour of Sinking Fund, instead of Light of Other Days, with whom Mr Baker declared to win, to the dismay of those who stood the " declared" one. The latest movements on future events will be found below. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18.— MATCH 50,10 ft; two miles. Mr Formby's Pip, by Tadmor out of Katie Stewart, aged, list Mr Rich 1 Mr Park's bk g Paddy from Cork, aged, 12st Owner 2 Betting: 7 to 4 on Paddy from Cork, who held a clear lead from the first mile, when the non- favourite reached his quarters, deprived him of the lead on entering the straight, and won by twenty lengths.

Grimshaw 6 Betting: 5 to 2 agst The Flower Safety, 3 to 1 agst the Calot gelding, 4 to 1 ( at first 3 to 1) agst Lufra, and 6 to 1 agst Sybil. A long and tedious delay preceded this race, owing chiefly to the fractiousness of Sybil, who, for half an hour, refused to go near her horses, and bolted all over the meadows. She was at length led to the post, but even then further failures occured before the lot were got " under weigh.'' The running was made by Rose de Clare, closely followed by Lufra and the Calot gelding to the turn into the straight, where the leader gave way, leaving the other two in front, nearly abreast, with The Flower Safety in waiting. Within the distance the latter got on level terms with the leading pair, and quitting them opposite the Stand won easily by a length ; a neck between the second and third, bad fourth. The winner was sold to Mr W. Scott for 135 guineas. The TRIAL STAKES of 10 sovs each, with 50 added; three year olds 7st, four 8st 91b, five 9st 21b, six and aged 9st 41b ; certain penalties and allowances; the Mile Course ; 8 subs.

Grimshaw 3 * i Lord Strathmore's b c Sea King, 3 yrs, 6st lllb Whiteley 4 Betting: 6 to 5 agst Atherstone, 2 to 1 agst Le Marechal, and 4 to 1 agst Twilight. Atherstone was first off, but was instantly passed by Le Marechal, Sea King going on side by side with the favourite, about a length in advance of Twilight. Crossing the Star Close 8ea King began to tire, and below the distance was passed by the old mare. Half way up Atherstone made his effort, but Le MarSchal held his lead to the end, and won easily by a length; bad third. A SWEEPSTAKES of 2- 5 sovs each, 10 ft, for two year olds ; colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st 61b ; those by stallions or out of mares that never bred a winner allowed 311>, if both 51b; about three fur- longs; 5 subs.

Another tiresome delay pre- ceded the start, and in all the failures that took place the favourite showed conspicuously in the van, and repeatedly ran a consider- able distance before she was stopped. When the signal was at length given Lapidary dashed off'at score, but was immediately joined by Measure for Measure, to whom succeeded Walloon, Peignoir, and Hungerford. Thus they ran to the first turn, where the leading pair ran out, and Walloon was thereby left with the command. His lead, however, was a brief one, for he was soon passed by Peignoir, closely waited upon from the last turn by Churchman. Entering the straight Queen of the Vale, who had been lying fourth, improved her position, and gradually over- hauling Peignoir within the distance headed him at the middle of the enclosure, and won very cleverly by half a length; Churchman was beaten three lengths from the second; of the others— all pull- ing up— Hungerford was fourth, Walloon fifth, the favourite last but one, Lapidary whipping in. The WILLOUGHBY HANDICAP of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, and 5 only if declared, with 40 added ; winners extra; gentlemen riders ; jockeys 61b extra: two miles ; 8 subs.

The favourite cut out the work at a merry pace, followed by Hipbriar to the top of the hill, where Little Lady increased her lead and Catspaw became her imme- diate attendant. About half a mile from home the latter was passed by the Oulston gelding, and to him and Little Lady the re- mainder of the race was confined. The gelding waited upon the leader to inside the distance, when he came away and won in a canter by three lengths ; bad third; the other, beaten off, came in pulling up.

Paddy from Cork, taking a good lead at starting, was attended to half- way up the hill by St James and Pot Pourri, after which the latter took up the running, with St James and the favourite at his heels, well in whose wake Tambourgi was next. This order was maintained to the half- mile post, where Lord Westmoreland's horse went up to Pot Pourri, but Little Dick, immediately head- ing the pair, came away at the bend, and won, " hands down," by three lengths over Gavazzi, who, lying in the rear for the best part of the race, passed his horses at the straight, but never got near the winner. The others were stopped to nothing below the Stand.

Two or three failures preceded the start, in which the favourite broke away to the straight, the first off, when at length the flag fell, being Confusion. However, in a few strides Abernethy showed in advance, followed abreast by Batsman and Mr Hodgman's mare to the distance, where the favourite took the lead, and, having only Lufra to dispose ef at the Stand, won easily by two lengths; bad third. The GREAT WARWICKSHIRE HANDICAP of 25 soys each, 10 ft, and 5 if declared, with 200 added; winners extra; the second received 25 sovs out of the stakes; two miles; 43 subs, 26 of whom paid 5 sovs each.

Suburban and Dulci- bella, with Bonnycastle wide on the whip- hand, ran in front for ab ® ut fifty yards, after which the mare took up the running, succeeded by the Count's horse and Bonnycastle, the favourite and Optimist side by side, in immediate waiting on them, to the turn on the hill, where Bonnycastle took a slight lead, and then suddenly dropping away, Dulcibella resumed the command. At the mile post the latter was joined by Suburban, who raced with her to the T. Y. C. course, whence the old mare again showed clearly in advance, succeeded abreast by Tolurno, Suburban and Optimist. They ran thus to the straight, where Suburban, disappointed, lost two or three lengths, and was at length compelled to pull round his horses. Dulcibella, mean- time, hanging out signals of distress, resigned to the favourite within the distance, but the Woodyeates colt beat a retreat half way up when collared by Count Batthyany's horse, to overhaul whom Optimist next made his effort, but was defeated easily by a length; Tolurno finishing four lengths from the second, Dul- cibella finished close up with the latter ; Bonnycastle beaten off.

Exactly an hour was wasted in false starts and other manoeuvring at the post, the most prominent in breaking away, or at all events coming on furthest, being Lady Nichol, Faith, and Jane Shore. At length, amid much confusion, principally caused by people mobbing round the starter, the signal was given when Star- beam and Whitefield were several lengths in advance, the remainder of the field at this moment being s ® far behind that all, save the favourite, ceased to persevere after the first fifty yards, while the Area filly and Faith never moved at all. Half way in the distance Lady Nichol reached Whitefleld's quarters, but at the Stand was beaten, and the latter, failing to get up at the finish, a fine race with the foremost two ended in favour of Starbeam by a head, two lengths dividing second and third; Lord Stamford's colt was fourth, six or eight lengths off; Jane Shore fifth, Royston sixth, Nathalie seventh ; Sorceress, Bristles, and the Tadmor filly next, spread all over the course. On the complaint of the starter, Payne, H. Grimshaw, and Reeves were fined 10 sovs each. A HANDICAP PLATE of 50 sovs, for all ages; three quarters of a mile.

Ellerton jumped off with the lead, with Churchman and Kangaroo in attendance for half a mile, when Peignoir took second place, but failed to get up, and was defeated ~ easily by a length; Abernethy finishing { an indifferent third ; the others close up with him.

Mary Stewart cut out the work, with the others lying up until at the hill- top Mutineer joined the mare, after which two or three lengths divided them and the favourite, with Little Dick at his quarters. Near the mile post The Prophet closed with the leaders, but fell at the hurdles beyond, and was out of the race. Thence Mutineer went on with the running, but tiring, knocked away the distance hurdles, and finally cutting it, was headed half way up by Little Dick, and defeated in a canter by a length, Mary Stewart having dropped off midway in the bottom.

After a failure the lead was taken by The Flower Safety, who was, however, immediately pulled back, and Miss Edmonson, with Inkerman at her side, went on with the running to the bottom turn, where The Flower Safety went to the front, and won by three lengths. The others beaten off.

Turning into the bottom, so great was the tailing that only Paddy from Cork and Irely were left to fight it, out vrith Eily O'Connor, who at the cords was col- lared by Mr Mytton's horse, who, giving her the go- by, won very easily by three lengths. Paddy was a bad third, and Sir William a worse fourth. Meteor was fifth, and Miss Amy next. The others walked in.

Remunerator, making free use of his weight, cut out the work twelve lengths ahead of Yaller Gal and Wee Nell, who ran nearly side by side, with wide gaps separating Sinking Fund and Light of Other Days from the last named two. A mile was traversed in this order, the only change being that Wee Nell became a clear second, Yaller Gal going on third, and in this order crossing the water leap opposite the Stand they made another circuit of the course, without mistake or circumstance calling for note. When, however, the brook had been taken the last time, the weight began to tell on the mares, who even- tually came to a halt on reaching'the back of the hill. Remunerator having next had enough of it dropped off three quarters of a mile from home. After which Mr Baker's two were left in possession of the field. Sinking Fund was leading about four lengths over the finishing hurdles, and to the unutterable astonishment of the backersof Lightof Other Days, he won by two lengths; Remunerater was a bad third ; Wee Nell walked in fourth with Yaller Gal, the latter of whom had not gone the entire course.

Sir Stephen made play, followed by Deception, Homburg, and Mary Baker, the rear being brought up by Forlorn Hope and The Prophet. In these positions they ran for about half a mile, when the favourite rushed to the front, the others going on in a cluster, with the ex- ception of The Prophet, who, having refused in the Star Close, was now a long way in the rear. Over the water jump Homburg was succeeded by Sir Stephen, Deception, and Forlorn Hope, St James heading the next division, but in the ensuing fifty yards Sir Stephen resumed the command, though at the far side Homburg had once more a decided lead, and holding his own to the end, won in a canter by a length and a half ; three lengths between the second and third.

The favourite and Huntsman were in front throughout, the horse making nearly all the running, and after a very fine race to the Stand, came in first by a length; nothing else near. Polly's rider fell over her head at the water leap, and on being remounted refused the next hurdles, when she was stopped. Fearnought was out of it early from the same cause, while Maid of the Mill ( a bad third) was outpaced in the concluding mile. An objection to Huntsman for not being pro- perly qualified was subsequently decided in his favour.

Stewards: The Hon Capt Lawley and H. Savile, Esq. Clerk of the Course and Judge: Mr R. Johnson. Starter: Mr W. Elliott. The great difficulty in obtaining a fixture for Doncaster this year compelled the committee to take the Monday and Tuesday immediately preceding Warwick. This fixture was not a good one, but under the circumstances it was the only one available, notwithstanding the unavoidable clashing with the Military Steeple Chases at Rugby. Monday is one of the worst days in the week for a local meeting to commence, as the horses must reach the town on Saturday, or be compelled to travel on Sunday, which many of the trainers object to. However, we are informed that next year the meeting will take place on the Tuesday and Wed- nesday after Liverpool, and in all probability it will be taken up by the corporation, and be on the same footing as the September Meeting. Under any circumstances the added money will be con- siderably increased, and 100 sovs will be given to a mile handicap on the second day. The Steeple Chase weights are also to be issued after Liverpool. Never since the establishment of the Spring Meeting have the inhabitants of the town subscribed more liberally than on the present occasion, and the decline of the races must be attributed to the continual change in the time of holding the meeting. March, April, and May have all been tried, but the committee are fully persuaded that, March is the only month suit- able ; the sooner after the Liverpool Spring the better. The morning of Monday opened very unfavourably, heavy showers of rain falling, but as the day advanced the black clouds dis- appeared, and the afternoon turned out fine, although bitterly cold. The sport opened at half- past two o'clock with the Trial, so as to allow the Londoners plenty of time to reach the town. The race was a remarkably close one between Wetsail and Comet, won by the former, the young one not running very straight in the last two strides. The Spring Handicap produced fifteen runners, Joey Jones being the best favourite, and he fully realised the hopes of his backers by winning easily. Only seven went to the post for the Hopeful, to which, for the first time, the Corporation of Doncaster added one hundred sovs; but the field did not show much consideration for the liberality of the corporate body. The entry was also less than anticipated, but we have no doubt next year there will be an improvement, as several names were put down for the Hopeful and Spring Handicap during the meeting. The filly by Mountain Deer out of Area ( Egyptian's dam) was the favourite, but the race was won by Capt Rennie's Starbeam, who came out at Lincoln for the Brocklesby, when she was left at the post; she won cleverly to- day, and reflected no little credit upon Reeves's training. The Londesborough Plate brought the first day's sport to a close, being easily won by Mr Gilby's Adventurer, who was afterwards backed for the City and Suburban at 12 to 1 to win a good stake. This made the third win for the Bellisle stable, and caused National Guard to be inquired after for the Derby. The Municipal and Juvenile Stakes, intended for the first day, did not fill. The weather was delightfully fine on Tuesday, but again cold. The attendance was good, exceeding that of the first day, the receipts for the two days being a great increase on those of last year. The first race on the second day was timed for half- past one, and the last at four o'clock, to allow visitors to catch the 4: 40 p. m. train for Warwick. The Betting Room Stakes was the first on the card, and it afforded a close race between Stockman, the favourite, and Lord Adolphus, which the former won by a head, although he could have increased it to half a length if required. He was subsequently backed for the Derby at 100 to 1 for a considerable sum. Wetsail, with the steadier of 8st 121b on, upset a great pot in Estrelda ; he was the last off, and won easily by two lengths, making the fourth win for J. Watson's stable at Ashgill. The United Hunt Stakes was carried off without difficulty by Miss Taft. Nothing would face Emblem, the winner at Liverpool last week, for the Great North of England Steeple Chase; so she went to the starting post and cantered past- the winning post, uuder the Market Har- borough rules. The Innkeepers' Stakes ( selling) was also walked over for by Mr T. Bancroft's Cronstadt. The meet- ing was brought to a close by the Don Steeple Chase, a new race, and afforded a very close contest with the first three. Glautias was an immense " pot," and no doubt would have landed the Stakes had he not refused the hurdle before coming to the water jump in front of the Stand. Altogether the meeting was a failure, but the committee are more determined than ever in carrying it on, and if it should not come into the hands of the corporation, they will materially increase the added money themselves next year. They will leave no stone unturned, and they appear more sanguine than ever about the ultimate success of their undertaking. The stewards for next year are Mr H. Savile, the Earl of Westmorland, the Earl of Coventry, and Mr George Payne. In the absenee of Mr Marshall, at Rugby, Mr Elliott officiated as starter, and Mr Johnson acted as clerk of the course and judge with his usual ability.

Wet sail made play, with Judex second for about 200 yards, when Semiramis passed the latter, the Miranda filly and Judex going on third and fourth. Semiramis dropped away at the half- mile post, and the Miranda filly then became second. They ran thus to the distance, where Comet passing his horses challenged Wetsail, and half way up appeared to have the best of it; but the heavy weight coming again won, after a splendid race, by a head; three lengths be- tween the second and third, bad fourth. The favourite was beaten off.

After two or three failures they got well away, Joey Jones leading, with Flytrap, Upperhand, and Soothsayer next, in the order named, the last three being Little Dick, Picco, and Jenny Wren, the latter run- ning wide on the outside. On ascending the hill Bernice rushed to the front, with Joey Jones, Flytrap, Fontenoy, and Upperhand lying next. Bernice retired after passing the Red House, and Upperhand and Soothsayer were left in front, followed by Joey Jones, Fontenoy, Flytrap, The Lawyer, and The Monk. The two latter ran into the third and fourth places before rounding the last bend, but died away before reaching the distance, where Joey Jones took the lead, and ran home a very easy winner by a couple of lengths ; four lengths between the second and third, bad fourth. The Lawyer was sixth, and The Monk seventh. The last four were Jenny Wren, Picco, Sledmere, and Dirt Cheap. The pace was only moderate. In taking her preliminary canter, Jenny Wren broke away with her rider, and made an attempt to jump the rails near the St Leger starting post. Noble was pitched over the rails, but escaped without injury.

Stewards to the Grand Military: Maj- Gen Lawrenson, Maj- Gen Key, Maj- Gen Shirley, Col Wardley, 1st Royal Dragoons; Col Gambier, C. B., R. H. A.; Col Chapman, C. B., R. E.; Lieut- Col 8. Jenyns, 13thHussars; Lieut- Col Baker, 10thHussars; Lieutr Cel Oakes, 12th Lancers; Lieut- Col Dickson, 16th Lancers; Lieut- Col Burnaby, Grenadier Guards; Lieut- Col Stuart, 89th Regiment; Capt Peel, Staff. For Veterans: Sir Humphrey de Trafford, Bart; Lieut- Col Astley. Major George, 4th Hus- sars, Hon Secretary. Stewards to Rugby Hunt: Earl Spencer, Viscount Curzon, Viscount Ingestre, Hon J. W. North, 8. 8. Burton, Esq. Mr A. Over, V. 8., Hon Secretary. Judge: Mr Clarke. Clerk of the Course: Mr T. Marshall. Of the many arenas, fair and indifferent, pitched upon by the Grand Military for upwards of thirty years, that last discovered at Clifton village, in the neighbourhood of Rugby, seems to have gained the highest mark of favour. The National Hunt Chases, run over a portion of it last year, led to the additions and im- provements, which, from the site now allotted to the spectators, presented a panorama of " plains immense, interminable meads, and vast savannas, in verdant ocean lost.'' Singularly through- out the vast expanse, stretching either way for twenty miles into the Warwick, Leicester, and Northampton counties, not a bit of plough was within range of vision. A natural brook, flashing in the sun's rays as it meandered through the flat, enlivened the picture, while enclosures of nice length, with here and there some stiffish fences, contributed, perhaps, the prettiest course ever flagged out, and which would have amply repaid the visit of our Gallic brethren in arms had any chose to respond to the custo- mary invitation oftered. Exchange of sentiment and national rivalry in horsemanship on these occasions appear, however, to have become things of the past, and without being offensive, might call to mind the lines of Peter Pindar— " Far off the hero in his tent reclin'd, Where high and mighty meditations suit, On leather, leather, turns his lofty mind, To make a cannon of an old jack- boot." Besides the usual military cup, an appropriately- mounted hand- some silver tankard, from Whistler's, was given by the Rugbeans, though we should first have mentioned the most novel feature at this anniversary, to wit, the gold Challenge Cup, to be won by the same officer three times, presented by Sir Humphrey de Trafford, Bart, who formed one of the distinguished party each day occu- pying the well- appointed drag of the First Royals, his old Regi- ment. Leamington, as before, was made " head- quarters,'' whence a " special" to and from Rugby was provided for the military gentlemen, whose annual banquet, invariably held during the meeting, is postponed till the Ascot week in London. The various railways running to a centre at Rugby set down numerous living freights at single fares, but on the whole the company, large and influential as it was, scarcely came up to the mark of the Brixworth and Cheltenham gatherings. The arrangements, nevertheless, were carried out with wonted spirit, though the deepest regret was expressed on all sides that the continued indisposition of Major George com- pels his final resignation, after lengthened invaluable services, as secretary, the duties of which office have of late been kindly at- tended to by Major Dixon. An extraordinary demand on our space necessitates the omission of an intended description of the jumping line, constructed by Mr Marshall, whose able conductor- ship of these popular meetings for more than twenty years, and general courtesy, entitle him to something more than common gratitude. Suflice to say that in the four mile chase, upwards of thirty leaps were taken, including the brook four times crossed at different places, while rather more than two thirds that work had to be got through in the lesser journeys. For reasons above stated, we must also refer the reader to details of the running, with but few introductory remarks. Of the noble field of four- teen ( one more than last year) stripping for the principal Cup, Jealousy, considered best up in the business, was supported for money, but at the finish knocked under to the steadily- ridden Rifleman, just as Yaller Gal, most fancied for the Open Chase, succumbed to Deceiver, fresh from the stable. Sheer pluck and determination next landed a " pot" on Bounce for the Veteran Stakes, which at one period of the race was all in favour of the fielders. Tuesday, in a succession of " near things," was to the letter a " grand field day in steeple chasing." First, in a slashing affair, Sir Charles just " did'' Windsor for the Welter Stakes; after which Duston, admirably steered by an agriculturist, known at these meetings for his prowess in the pigskin, stole a march on his opponents, and pulled off the Farmers' Plate, it being heads and necks with a lot at the finish. Inkerman, the property of Mr W. E. Dakin, a young gentleman forming a stud of flat and steeple racers under the care of Mr W. Scott, of Hollywell, and who, it will be remembered, after dissolving partnership with his rider in the Grand National last week, took a long excursion on his own account, next beat a good field for the Selling Stakes, Mr Smith having also ridden Cockatoo, the winner of this event in 1862. The Challenge Cup, though attracting only three runners- produced nevertheless an exciting race, which fell to the lot of Havelock, thus scoring two " great events " to the pilotage of Captain Riddell. Glorious weather favoured the proceedings throughout, which terminated shortly before four o'clock. The attendance included:— Lord and Lady Eglinton, Earl Spen- cer, Earl of Suffield, Viscount Curzon, Viscount Ingestre, Viscountess Ingestre and party, Lord Vivian, Lord Bateman, Sir H. de Traf- ford, Bart; Lady de Trafford and party, Sir Thos. G. Skip worth, Hon C. L. Butler, G. Payne, Esq; Gen Laurenson, Gen Shir- ley, Major Shirley, W. G. Craven, Esq ; B. J.

The regularity and despatch observed in most things at these reunions now happily extended to the weighing department, thanks to the gentlemen themselves, whose gay contours needed no finishing touch, neither was fore- sight wanting to have the required " ballast" at hand. Thus, at two o'clock, all were ready when the bell rang to begin, and having cantered to admiration, proceeded to the post in charge of Viscount Curzon, the starter. Inkerman, making the pace a little too fast over ridge and furrow and gradually rising ground, was soon lengths ahead of Hazard and Jealousy, at a moderate interval from whom Windsor and Elsham headed the ruck, one of the last off being Emily, who came down at the first leap, and rolling over her rider, went no further. When nearly a mile had been tra- versed by the others without important change or mishap, the leader's advantage so far lessened that on jumping into the Stand meadow Jealousy and Hazard were at his side, the two last named thence going in front to the made fence crowning the ascent beyond, whieh the favourite once de- clined, leaving Inkerman again in attendance on Mr John- stone's mare, succeeded by Windsor and Rifleman; the division next clear of them comprising Jealousy, Cannibal, Redwing, The Nabob, and Elsham, while Frank, Doubtful, Glen Aros, and My Mary ( the latter dwelling at the obstacle last referred to) oc- cupied the far rear. Then bearing to the right Hazard and In- kerman obtained at least twenty lengths by a short cut, the re- mainder of the field indulging in a wider berth, it was said, in better going. Be this as it may, at least two- thirds of the horses were never in the race afterwards ; My Mary, chief among the " tailers,'' winding up with a tumble. A refusal having also dis- posed of Inkerman before coming to the brook, that impediment was charged three or four lengths in advance by Hazard, waited on by Jealousy, Windsor, and Rifleman, this trio thence taking closer order with the leader, who shut up the instant they reached her head. Everything behind Hazard being likewise beaten off, the favourite, in command, with Rifleman and Windsor level at her heels, came out and finished a game and most exciting contest, the chances of each seeming so evenly balanced, especially when in the conclud- ing half mile Windsor to the left of the pair got a shade the best of it, that tremendous partisan shouts in turn rent the air. How- ever, when fairly in the straight lin © home, the colours of Jea- lousy were once more viewed in the van, the others sticking at her girths to the last fence, over which the mare and Windsor landed dead beaten, and Rifleman, taking up the running, secured the grand trophy by three lengths. Windsor missing his stake and the 20 sovs, finished about as far from Jealousy; Elsham can- tered in fourth, Hazard fifth, Cannibal sixth, and Redwing next, followed by Frank, Doubtful, and The Nabob.

Ante- lope, considerably in advance when the flag fell, resigned to Jacques in quitting the starting meadow, and then dropping be- hind Bridesmaid, was succeeded by Rattlebone and the two " Saints/' whipped in by Doctor, who, at the leap to the left of the Stand, parted company with his pilot, was remounted, but never got within hail of his horses. Descending for the far side the favourite shot to the fore with a strong lead, but steadying a little in the bottom, let up Rattlebone, who splashed into the brook a length or two in his wake, and appeared unable to race afterwards, St James having come to a halt at the water. When clear of the latter, Bridesmaid, on sufferance, again showed in command, but, three fences from home, was repassed by the double- pulling Antelope, who, throwing his head in all directions, well nigh extinguished his chance by making for the wrong side of a flag, which movement was checked with difficulty, though not without once more giving the lead to the mare, whom, however, the favourite finally overhauled in the centre of the last enclosure, and defeated her in a canter by six lengths; a bad third. The OPEN HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE of 10 sovs each, 2 ft, with 80 added ; winners extra ; about four miles; 18 subs. Mr B. Land's b g Deceiver, by Faugh a Ballagh, lOst 131b B.

Sadler 0 Betting : 7 to 4 agst Yaller Gal, 5 to 2 agst Deceiver, and 4 to 1 agst Light of Other Days. Commencing this time at the foot of the hill in the principal meadow, the lot cantered in a body to the fence on the left, refused by Jealousy in the grand event, and now objected to by Heads or Tails, but who took it at the second attempt. From this point Doubtful went on with the running for two or three hundred yards, after which it was taken up by Countess, with a clear lead, to the brook, whence the favourite became second, with Deceiver and Doubtful in attendance, fol- lowed at a short interval by Light of Other Days and the Hednes- ford mare, the slow Ben Lomond, after figuring prominently in the rear, being stopped at rather more than two miles. In this way nearly half the journey had been completed, when Yaller Gal, assuming the command, repassed the Stand with Countess and Doubtful laid up on her left, as were Deceiver, Mr Baker's horse, and Heads or Tails on the whip- hand, to the far side the last time, where the favourite materially increased her advantage, but in the ensuing half mile was headed by the full- of- go Countess, who, being one of three next charging in front the water leap, caught the bank with her heels on landing, and, hurled forward, fell on her side so badly injured that, by advice of a " vet," she was destroyed later in the evening. Doubtful and Heads or Tails being also out of it in the concluding three- quarters of a mile, Yaller Gal, ence more at the head of affairs, was closely succeeded by Deceiver and Light of Other Days, the latter three fences from home showing slightly in advance, but rushed through the leap and rolled over, Nightingall miraculously escaping with a few bruises only from those immediately in his track. The remainder consequently was a match with the fa- vourite and Ben Land's gelding, who, directly they were clear of the fallen animal, headed and raced with the mare until she died away after struggling gamely to the finishing course, and Deceiver won easily by half a dozen lengths. Thrice as far divided second and third, Heads or Tails trotting in fourth. The VETERANS' STAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft; 12st 71b each; win- ners extra; three miles; 20 subs.

Bounce, in front at starting, was directly pulled behind The Monmouthshire, who made play, with Dicebox at his side, till the latter, falling back at a mile, was joined by Tommy, Antelope, and the favourite, the four charging their jump abreast at the same spot, so close, in fact, that in a col- lision Bounce's rider was knocked from the saddle. He was at once up and at it again, amid the cheers of the spectators, and soon began to draw upon the forward horses, now some hundred and fifty yards ahead, passed them successively in the finishing half mile, and having only Tommy in antagonism over the last two or three fences, finally gave him the go- by also, and won by ten lengths. The Lady of La Garaye, ridden to the end, was third, a length or two over Tuscarora, who, though running out at the last jump but three, passed The Monmouthshire close at home, and beat him for fourth " situation'' by about the same, Antelope, refusing, having some time previously been left astern with Dice- box.

The favourite, in advance almost from the commencement, was chal- lenged on the way to the last jump by Mountain Fox and Sir Charles ( his attendants throughout), the result being that the lat- ter, after landing alongside Windsor into the winning pasture, ran a little the longest, and won a tine race by a short head ; three lengths divided second and third; Tyrone well up in the last hun- dred yards, finished a middling fourth ; the grey, who made up considerable ground after a mistake in the early portion of the journey, walked in next; while The Baker, blundering and re- fusing, was scarcely in it at all. A FARMERS' PLATE of 100 sovs, given by the noblemen and gen- tlemen hunting in the neighbourhood, forliunters, & c ; farmers or their sons riders; entrance 2 sovs, for the second ; four year olds list 101b, five 12st 71b, six and aged 13st; three miles.

Goneaway, rushing off at score, was soon a field's length in advance, when, mistaking the way, his rider took him far out of the line, leaving Nimble and Princess Royal in command, Darkie going on third, waited on by Birmingham Lad, Marquis, and Duston ; a refusal after passing the Stand having thrown Corky a long way last. These positions were maintained over the brook, where Darkie took up the running, followed to the final leap by Princess Royal, over which Duston, gradually creeping up by a shorter route from the last turn, came with a rush, and defeated Darkie a head on the post. Princess Royal third, three lengths off, beat The Marquis by half a length, Birmingham Lad next, as far from him, this lot, we should remark, having jumped into the Stand simultaneously with the forward couple ; Eily O'Connor a bad sixth, Nimble seventh.

Alexander, leading off a " cracker," was followed by Peeping Tom for the first hundred yards, after which Inkerman headed the pair, to whom succeeded Charity Boy, Elvira, Major Wombwell's two, and Atherley in a ruck, Yellow Dwarf having cut it altogether by stopping at the first obstacle. All proceeded well with the others to the up- jump above the Stand, referred to in the previous chases. This Atherley declined, and Elvira following suit, unshipped her rider, who regained the pigskin with little delay, and started in pursuit. After leaving the posts and rails beyond, so close was the struggle with half- a- dozen for the lead through two or three pastures that it was impossible to say which had it, until Inker- man, with Charity Boy at his girths, became singled out, fol- lowed by Peeping Tom, over the brook, a widish gap separating them and the rear division, evidently unable to live the clinking pace kept up from the outset, so that, as in the Military Cup yes- terday, three only were now left with the ghost of a chance, which as related to Peeping Tom, also vanished in his whipping round at the last fence but four, while well up. Tom out of the way, Inkermar was instantly collared by the grey, and on they came, fighting it side by side like chained shot, Charity Boy having a mere trifle the best of it before entering the winning enclosure, the jump into which, however, quite exhausted his " steel," and Inkerman won cleverly by a length and a half. Yellow Dwarf next passed the chair, but had not gone the course, the remainder, as we have already hinted, being widely scattered. The winner was not sold. The CHALLENGE CUP ; 12st 71b each; entrance 5 sovs each, half to the winner and the other half to the second ; winners extra ; three miles ; 10 subs.

The pair quoted led alternately to the last fence but four, which Tuscarera, clearly in advance, declined, and gave the favourite an immense advantage, though eventually only pulling it off by three lengths, so much ground having been fetched up by the other after taking the leap at the second asking. Elvira, going well in the wake of the leaders, rushed through her fence before coming to the brook, and fell a burster.

Next up with him were Darkie and the two " Ladies," the favourite also going well with them to the brook, where, pitching on his head, the bridle fell off. Soon after Mr Park's mare showed in advance, but Merrimac coming again deprived her of the lead, and won by three lengths, the third and fourth finishing together, a length from the second.

Stewards: Capt Gunter, Viscount Neville, Sir J. D. Fitzgerald, Lieut- Col Markham. Judge: Mr Rd. Johnson. Clerks of the Course: Messrs Knowles and Hill. Secretary: Mr Burnett, jun. FRIDAY, MARCH 20.— These chases took place on the banks of the Wharfe, close to the town of Wetherby, over the same line of country ( on the estate of Captain Gunter) as last year. The ground was in fine order for running— nearly all grass land, and was very firm going. The chases created great interest in the neighbourhood, and the North Eastern Railway Company running cheap trains caused the attendance to be very large.

The steeple chase season in France commenced auspiciously enough last Sunday at La Marche, for, although the weather was anything but brilliant, Parisian sportsmen assembled in great force, and the sport was quite of a character to maintain the prestige of these popular meetings. There being at present an unusual num- ber of steeple chase horses in France, it is n « t a matter of great won- der that the entries for the several events of this meeting have thia year assumed greater dimensions than hitherto, more- especially, as a great number of these steeple chasers are merely thorough bred hacks, that are entered at La Marche because the entries aro small, the distances short, and the country a very light one to get over. In fact the French authorities follow exactly a system that was last week reasonably advocated in our columns, namely, that, whilst there should be really good steeple chases, with conditions to suit only the weight- carrying hunters, there should be at the same time such races to suit the young beginner at cross country work, in which owners might enter, with a reasonable chance of success, those animals that are now a dis- grace to the sport when called steeple chasers. This system in France has worked very well, and such races are exceedingly popular, particularly at the commencement of the season, for they serve as criterians to the owners of young horses to determine whether they are worth training or not, while affording to the general observer good opportunities of picking out those that are likely to be heard of to advantage in greater events. It will be seen by the betting on the first race, the Prix d'Ouverture, that the flying grey Auricula was made a great favourite, as his sporting owner, the present master of the Chantilly Hounds, backed him very freely, Boyce having arrived from England specially to ride him; but he disappointed his party, as usual, for his rushing, tearing propensities, soon brought him to trouble, and when Boyce attempted to turn his fine speed to account to catch his horses again, he cut up a regular duck- hearted brute. The winner turned up in Gisors, who, for the last month has been trained by Quinton, his rider on this occasion, and under his tuition he seems to have forgotten the [ swerving and refus- ing tricks for which he was so notorious last season. Baron Nivi^ re is, we are told, going to send one or two more, including old Cosmopolite, to join Gisors, although Quinton will not confine himself entirely to training and riding for the Baron, as having now reduced himself again to Derby weight he is determined to re- appear on the flat for the ensuing season, much to the gratifi- cation of many racing men in France, by whom his good judg- ment of pace and fine finishing powers had been greatly appre- ciated. The second race was for gentlemen riders, and Irish Boy, under a light weight and bold rider, found no difficulty in win- ning very easily. Then followed a match between a very bad thorough bred and a very slow half bred, and as the distance was only a short mile, and the fences but small hurdles, the pace of the former naturally pulled him through. The largest field, and best- contested race was witnessed for the Prix d'Essai, which brought eleven together that had never ran in a steeple chase be- fore, but although such a race ought to be a good one for betting, there were only three that were mentioned for it, namely, Campeador, a fine looking ehesnut gelding, on very bad joints, however. Beau Sej our, and TempiSte; but the outside division furnished the winner inBiribi,~ a strong, useful- looking horse, that formerly belonged to the Count des Cars, but was drafted out of his stable about twelve months ago, and we are told he has since been working in a Paris cab. He, however, appears now to be quite up to his present profession, and his owner refused a good price for him after the race, though we are of opinion that if Beau Sejour and Peau Rouge had met with no disappointments, they would bath have beaten him. SUNDAY, MABCH 15.— PEIX D'OUVEBTUHE of 2,500f, for horses that have never won a steeple chase worth 8,000f; entrance 106f, h ft; the second doubled his entry; 1301b each; winners extra, and maidens allowed 61b; about three miles; 13 subs.

Auricula jumped off with a slight lead, with Nancy lying second, Snipe third, Gisors and Etincelle next, and Jamb d'Argent brought up the rear, in which order they cleared the two first flights of hurdles and ran to the stone wall, over which Nancy came down a regular burster, and Snipe nearly came to grief by jumping over her, but landing all right, he continued following the grey, who now ran in a very shifty style to the br « ok, and swerving to the left on landing, he came right in the way of Snipe, who thereby jumped on him, and brought him completely to grass, besides coming partially down himself. This scrimmage left the lead with Gisors, attended closely by Etincelle, and in this order the pair ran at a steady pace to the Irish bank, where Etincelle drew in front, and held a slight lead for the se- cond round, over the brook and to the last hurdle, when Quinton called upon Gisors, and after a short struggle brought him right away by himself, and won very easily by six lengths. Snipe, who was persevered with t ® the end, was a very bad third, and Jamb d' Ar- gent and the favourite, who was remounted after his fall, and con- tinued a hopeless stern chase for some distance, were both pulled up, dead beat, half a mile from home. PRIX DES TRIBUNES ( a Handicap) of l, 500f for all horses; entrance lOOf, 75 ft, and 50 only if declared; a winner of any steeple chase after the publication of the weights 61b extra; gentlemen riders ; two miles ; 8 subs.

Crinoline made the running, followed by Irish Boy, Harry, Laudanum, Rabray, and Dewdrop, in the order named, for the first round and to the brook, at which Crinoline refused, and was persevered with no further. Irish Boy, however, cleared it in good style, as did also Harry, but Laudanum fell on landing, though he was quickly righted again, and continued the race. Rabray also fell, and, although got safely out of the water, took no further part in the contest, and Dewdrop kept obstinately refusing, which chapter of accidents seemingly left the race to Irish Boy and Harry, who was quite outpaced, so the little Irish horse never had his lead disturbed, and came in by himself the winner by more than twenty lengths. Laudanum headed Harry in the last quarter of a mile, and beat him by about two lengths, and the others did not complete the course.

They all got off to a straggling start, of which those that got the advantage were Nina, Campeador, Biribi, Beau Sejour, Starlight, and Tempete, and these ran in a group to the first fence ( the wall), over which Tempfite came to grief and got loose, but the others all got over this obstacle and the next in safet}', until they came to the third, a stiff- bound hedge, dividing the orchard, and at this Beau Sejour, who had been running very unkindly, with his head in the hair, came down a regular crasher, not getting righted again until the others had get about half a mile start. The lead at this time being held by the favourite, with Biribi at his quarters, and Nina, Starlight, and Peau Rouge the next in attendance, whilst in Indian file fol- lowed Jaguar, Nancy, and Ham ; these being all that were left in the race, excepting Beau Sejour, who, notwith- standing his fall, had, to all appearances resettled himself into his work in an improved style, for although some distance in the rear he was evidently nearing his horses at every stride, and was taking all his fenees brilliantly. On turning to the stone wall for the second round Biribi went to the front, and was almost imme- diately in possession of a lead of five or six lengths, which he continued to increase until rising the hill opposite the Stand, when Peau. Rouge closed up to him, and at the ice houses fairly caught him, but then swerving at a hurdle, destroyed his chance, for Biribi thus obtained another lead, whieh was never afterwards disturbed, and he wen in a canter by three lengths. Ham ran through a beaten lot and got second, with an advantage of two- lengths over Peau Rouge, and Jaguar was a tolerable fourth, Beau Sejour fifth, Campeador sixth, Starlight seventh, and the others did not complete the course. Nancy fell a burster over the last fence but one, and was at first left for dead, but we believe she recovered sufficiently afterwards to be led back, to Paris. Starlight broke down. SKITTLES.— W. Toogood is surprised in not hearing from Mr Nightingale's man, according to his challenge. If his man is over 50 years of age, Toogoad will give Ave chalks out of 21, and play for £ 25 a side; the match to take place either in London or Bir- mingham, and give or take expenses. Toogood will play any other man 21 chalks, for from £ 5 to £ 25 a side, if they give choice.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT- OARED RACE. The day of the race has at length been fixed for Saturday, March 28, when it is to take place from Barker's Rails to a flag- boat moored just below the London Rowing Club Boat House, with the first of the ebb. It will be high water at London Bridge at 42 minutes past seven. We stated last week that, owing to the difficulty of coming to an arrangement between themselves as to the fixture, Oxford desiring to row either on Friday or Saturday, March 27 and 28, and Cambridge wishing for a postponement to Wednesday, April 1, or Easter Tuesday, the Universities had mu- tually agreed to have the matter referred to Mr J. W. Cbitty, of JSxeter College, who usually acts as umpire in the race ; and that gentleman having, also with the consent of the differing parties, taken to his counsels Mr O. J. Selwyn, M. P. for the University of Cambridge, it was decided by them, after weighing carefully the arguments brought forward on either side, that those of the dark blues should prevail. Further changes in name or weight having taken place, we again subjoin the crews, who will commence their practice on the Putney waters on Monday, March 23, wken • we conjecture that they will be rowing the distance somewhere about four o'clock p. m.:— OXFORD. st lb 1.

H. Archer, Corpus ( cox). 5 8 Now the early time of high water seems to be the only reason why this race has been appointed to be rowed down with the ebb, and we do not think it a sufficient one. A similar state of things existed in the year 1860, when we wrote as follows:—" There is one thing which we think well worth the consideration of the two crews, and this is whether, after all, it would not be better to row the race on the last of the flood from Putney to Mortlake instead of vice versa, as at present intended. It is agreed by all, we ap- prehend, that the start should not take place a moment later than the turn of the tide, for any delay beyond that allows the barges to turn out innumerable from the Brentford Dock and other ports, and the river soon becomes a maze most difficult to thread. Well then, admitting this, the race should start about ten o'clock, and at latest by nine must the competing crews and the steamboats be moving from Putney to the scene of action. Why, therefore, should the race not then actually commence ? Not only does the breadth of the river at Putney afford a fairer chance for the con- venient placing of the numerous steamboats, but there is some hope of there being kept astern at the start, which above is im- possible, as many of them never come up so high, but lie in wait for their hapless prey at various distances down the river." Now, with the alteration to eight o'clock for the time of starting, tho foregoing applies completely to the present case, and it should be remembered that the advice was acted on, and the result was most successful, for there never was a race rowed so little inter- fered with by the steamers or any untoward circumstances. There would also be plenty of water and plenty of light to row at six o'clock p. m., but there would be numerous objections to that, and we trust, therefore, to see it made quite a before- breakfast affair, and rowed on the flood at eight a. m. An advertisement in the morning papers will sufficiently apprise the world, which will be on the look out after this suggestion. As for the steamers, we have already stated, on the authority of Captain Sawyer, the superintendent of the company, that a better management than heretofore may be expected, but captains and passengers should remember that the difficulties will be greatly increased if the race is to be rowed with the ebb, and that nothing but being very early at Mortlake will obviate them. Reference to the advertising columns will show what public boats will convey spectators. The University Billiard Match is fixed for Friday and Saturday, March 27 and 28. Mr Payne, of 8t Peter's College, will be one of the players for Cambridge, while Mr Stokes will again be one of the representatives of Oxford, with either Mr Walker, Brasenose, or Mr Lodge, of Oriel, for a partner. WORCESTER COLLEGE, OXFORD. FOUR- OARED RACES.— The terminal fours were rowed on Thurs- day, March 12. Four boats entered, and rowed as follows:— FIBST HEAT. 1. W. H. Bath I 2. J. J. F. Scott 3. J. R. Ward 4. W. E. Daniel O. A. Garwood ( cox) | Mr Moore's boat won the toss and chose the Berkshire side. The boats started well, but, owing to the roughness of the wea- ther, Mr Daniel lost his oar, and his boat could not continue the race. SECOND HEAT. 1. F. H. Forjett I 1. J. B. Butler 2. T. B.

Roberts ( cox) This race was pluckily kept up by both crews, neither boat at any time being much ahead. It was finally won by Mr Win- throp's boat by about half a length. In the final heat Mr Winthrop's boat won the toss and chose the Berkshire side. The boats rowed well together till opposite the Cherwell, when Mr Winthrop's boat was a little ahead, and eame in the winner by about half a length. 1. W. F. Rose 2. G. W. Bardsiey 3. G. F. Davis 4.

Moms ( cox) This was a good race to Sanders's Bridge, but there Mr Man- ning's boat went ahead, and won by two lengths. FINAL 11 EAT. Mr Lambert's boat rowed Mr Manning's. The former at once took the lead, and kept increasing it till the end, winning by about five lengths. MAGDALEN COLLEGE, OXFORD. CHALLENGE PAIRS.— The fifth annual race for Mr G. Nors- worthy's Pair- oar Challenge Cup and Medals, presented by the M. C. B. C., was rowed on Tuesday, March 17, over the Iffley Course. The following were the only boats entered :— DEMIES. I COMMONERS. J. G. Gamble H. Norsworthy E. B. Michell | P. J. E. Welby Owing to the sudden illness of Mr W. B. Monck, Mr Welby was obliged to row at a day's notice. This was a time race, and the Commoners, having won the toss, chose first station. Imme- diately at starting Mr Welby spurted away from his opponents, and kept a slight lead up to the Gut; but here the superior train- ing and practice of the Demies began to tell against the Com- moners, and enabled them to decrease their distance very ma- terially. At 8anders's Bridge there was very little more than a length between the boats, and although the Commoners used all their efforts to get away, the Demies reached their flag several lengths before the Commoners reached theirs. ST JOHN'S COLLEGE, OXFORD. FOUB- OAKED RACES,— These races were rowed on Wednesday' March 18. FIRST HEAT. 1. C. P. Morwood 2. F. B. Lord 3. E. Bond I 4. H. R. Huckin B. Hughes ( cox) | Mr Huckin's and Mr Richardson's boats were drawn to pull together, and Mr Richardson having the choice took the Oxford- shire side. After an excellent start Mr Huckin took a slight lead, which he, however, lost by fouling a small boat, Mr Richardson thus winning easily. SECOND HEAT. 1. E. W. Penny I 1. E. G. Greene 2. T. Nolan 2. F. W. Wright 3. T. L. Knapp I 3. H. Deane 4. W. Holding I 4. G. A. Rldeout J. B. White ( cox) | H. S. Keunard ( eox) This heat was won by Mr Rideout, Mr Holding, on the Berk- shire side, fouling the bank twice. FINAL HEAT, between Mr Richardson and Mr Rideout. This was a very good race, the crews being very evenly matched, and after an exciting contest Mr Richardson came in a winner by a length. TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE. TRIAL EIGHTS.— A time race was rowed by the following crews of the First Trinity Boat Club, which had been for some time under the guidance of Mr Lloyd, of Magdalene, and Mr Gregson, of Trinity, on Saturday, March 14:— 1. F. K. Hilton 2. H. Vidal 3. W. C. Weddall 4. F. Richardson C. Atkins ( cox) MR LLOYD'S CREW. 1. J. Rankin 2. J. Steavenson 3. A. Sankey 4. W. Truell 5. J. N. C. Davlea 6. C. Booth 7. T. B. Hinde 8.

Eaton ( cox) Mr Lloyd's crew took first place. Up to the Willows the boats were pretty even, and it was very doubtful who would win, but a tine spurt put on by Mr Gibson from the Willows won the race by about 4sec. Time, 8min 30sec. THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB. A committee meeting of this club was held on Wednesday afternoon, March 18, at the Hambro' Coffee House, Water- lane, Tower- street, when further arrangements were made for the an niversary festival, to which the university crews of Oxford and Cambridge have, as usual, been invited, and which takes place on the evening of the race, March 28, at St James's Hall, the Hon George Denman in the chair. The question of a ball, under the auspices of the club, submitted sometime since by Mr H. C. Smith was withdrawn, and it was determined that, in conse- quence of the resolution come to at the watermen's meeting at Henry Kelly's, Putney, on Feb 23, leaving the management of future races for the Championship of the Thames in the hands of the Thames Subscription Club— a meeting of the club should be called at an early opportunity, to which the north countrymen will be invited to further consider the matter. LONDON BOWING CLUB. The members of this club meet at Putney, Saturday, March 21, on the arrival of the 2: 25 train from Waterloo, to open the rowing season. There will be a general meeting of members in the club rooms, at. eight o'clock, when the following gentlemen will be foallotted for:— R. Cockerell, Wandsworth; F. Eckstein, Somerset House; J. Musgrave, 12, Queen- square; A. Sedley, Putney. The steamboat Warrior has been engaged to accompany the Oxford and Cambridge University Match on Saturday, March 28. WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB. The opening day of this club has been fixed for Saturday, March 21, and it is the particular wish of the committee that members should attend at Wandsworth on that day, at 4 p. m. ( 3: 15 p. m. train from Waterloo); and with a view to organising a procession of the boats, it is hoped the captain and deputy captain will meet with every support at the members' hands in the arrange- ments they may make. The weekly meetings during the rowing season have been resumed, and the first will be held at Wands- worth, in the evening, at 8: 30 p. m., preceded by a dinner at 7: 30. Entries for the first race of the season ( eight oars) close on Satur- day, April 4; the race being contested on Saturday, April 18, from Chiswick Ait to Putney, and the committee have altered the date of the Trial Fours from May 23 to May 25, in consequence of the Belfour Pairs, which the club are in training for, being fixed for the former date. ARIELR0WING CLUB. The opening day of this club takes place on Saturday, March 81, when the members are requested to assemble at Putney by the 4: 10 train from Waterloo, instead of the 4: 15, as announced, the time of the starting of the trains having been lately altered. KINGSTON BOWING CLUB. The first general meeting of this club for 1863 was held at the Antelope Inn, Surbiton, at eight p. m. on Saturday, March 14. After the election of several new members, the officers for the en- suing season were chosen as follows, viz:— F. M. Arnold, Pre- sident; R. Cobb. Vice- President; L. P. Evans, Captain; R. Koe, Treasurer; and T. Bell, Secretary, being the same as last year, with the exception of Mr Koe, who was elected Treasurer, in the place of Mr Jervis. It was much to the regret of all the members that Mr Jervis resigned the post of treasurer, which he had filled, much to the advancement of the club, since its first formation. The formal opening day of the club for this, its sixth season, is fixed for Thursday, April 9, on the afternoon of which day it is hoped there will be a large attendance of members at the boat- house. The club four- oared race, in outrigged gigs, is to take place on Saturday, April 18. The entries for this race are to be sent to the secretary, at the club boat- house, before six p. m. on the opening day. The crews will be chosen the same evening. The club eight- oared race is fixed for Thursday and Friday, May 7 and 8, the entries to be sent to the secretary before six p. m. on Thursday, April 23, when the crews will be chosen. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE COLLEGE SERVANTS. At a meeting of College Servants of Oxford, held at the Crown and Thistle Inn, it was unanimously resolved to accept the chal- lenge of theCambridgeCollege Servants to rowan eightoared match at Cambridge and another at Oxford, during the long vacation. It was also resolved to form a club, and upwards of 30 names were at once enrolled. A committee was formed to draw up rules and conduct the general business of the club, and we have little doubt this will eventually prove one of the best rowing clubs in Oxford. It may be remembered that the servants of the two universities contended at cricket and in an eight oared race in the year 1850, when Oxford proved the victors in all events, both at Cambridge and Oxford. As the Railway now extends from Oxford to Cam- bridge, it will enable great numbers to witness the efforts of their expected champions to maintain the honour of the rival university cities:— Committee : William Bacon, president; T. Wells, Brasenose, treasurer; R. Lapwortli, Magdalen, secretary; G. Hughes, Oriel; C. Hutt, Brasenose; Chandler, Christ church; C. Whitehead, Ballioi. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— The permanent commission of the yacht club recently formed in France met on Tuesday, March 17, under the presidency of the Viscount de Chateauvillard. After the discussion of several questions of interior administration, the noble president proposed the establishment of a match at Dieppe, in August next, for a cup of the value of £ 200, to be competed for by yachts of all classes, with the usual allowance. This proposi- tion was at first received with favour, but it was afterwards nega- tived, on the ground that it was impossible to perfect at present the bases of a satisfactory organisation for yacht matches. It was stated, with regard to 22 special rules borrowed from various fo- reign clubs, that not two could be made to perfectly agree with each other. It was also urged that, without disdaining to profit by the experience of amateurs, the club would derive more advan- tage from following the guidance of practical seamen. The yacht Fifre, belonging to M Louis Bertin, president of the nautical circle of Rouen, made on Sunday, March 15, an excursion to Bouille, having on board several friends of her owner. The Cannes Regatta Society, which is honoured with the patronage of Vice- Admiral Count Bouet Villaumez and M Gavini de Campile, pre- fect of the department of the Alpes- Maritime, has issued its pro- gramme for its matches of Monday, April 6, and Tuesday, April 7. The total value is £ 160. The annual banquet of the Cerele Nautique of Rouen has just been held, and passed off very satis- factorily. EXCELSIOR BOAT CLUB.— This elub held their usual monthly meeting at the club house, Crown and Sceptre Hotel, Greenwich, on Wednesday last. In the absence of the president, D. Salomons, M. P., the chair was taken by the captain, Mr J. E. Brain. In accordance with the rules the annual election of officers took place, and it was unanimously resolved that D. Salomons, M. P., be re- elected president, and Mr J. E. Brain captain and treasurer for the ensuing year, Mr T. Larchin being elected to the post of secretary. It was agreed that the first match of the season, for tankards presented by one of the members, should be in pair- oared eutrigged gigs without coxwains. The propriety of reducing the subscription was discussed, but no conclusion ar- rived at. Arrangements were made for commencing the season, and the meeting adjourned. MAGDALEN COLLEGE, OXFORD.— Mr Editor: Will you allow me to make a correction in the account of the Oxford University Torpid Races. The Magdalen crew is charged with " again claim- ing an escape, perhaps from the fact of their college never having suffered such a defeat before." Will you allow me to state that such was not the fact, as the Magdalen coxswain acknowledged the bump immediately, and the Magdalen College Boat Club had not the slightest intention of disputing it afterwards.— Yours, & c, THE SECRETARY M. C. B. C.— March 14. CHAMBERS AND EVERSON.— For this scullers race we have re- ceived a further sum of £ 25 a side, and the final deposit of £ 50 a side is to be made at Mr Wilcox's, White Hart, Barnes, April 9, when Chambers is to receive his douceur of £ 20. Everson is now in active training at the Bull's Head, Barnes, and report speaks well of his rowing. Chambers will be in town for the Univer- sity match, and will then take up his quarters at the Feathers, Wandsworth. NAUTILUS ROWING CLUB.— At the last winter meeting of this club, held on Wednesday, March 11, at the Albion, Great Russell- street, Covent- garden, some new members were proposed, the rules revised, and the following fixtures made for the ensuing season:— April 4, opening day at Putney. May 9: Four oars, president's prizes; entries to close April 25. June 20: Pair- oared gigs with coxswains, captain's prizes; entries to close June 6. Oct 3: Four oars, club prizes; entries to close Sept 19. LEGAL QUAYS ROWING CLUB.— The members of this club will row their first match in four- oared outriggers on Monday, June 16, from Putney to Mertlake, when the prizes will be contended for by the following crews:— Blue: G. Gettum, T. Myers, J. Gibbs, D. Coombes, C. Maikim ( cox). Red: H. Stephens, G. Patten, S. Thorrington, L. Shoals, J. Kitchen ( cox). White: J. M'Duell, R. Pick, G. Hemmings, J. Dove, W. Maiking ( cox). Green: W. Newman, 8. Recknill, T. Payne, S. Wiggett, G. Burke ( cox). W. Lawrence, W. Jones, ~ E. Dowling, and W. Steel of the Strand Rowing Club will row R. Morgan, Harman, H. Wool- ford, and Lawson of the Victoria Rowing Club a four eared race, from Putney to Barnes Railway Bridge, for £ 10 aside. The Editor of Bell's Life to be stakeholder. A match can be made at Mr Howard's, King's Head, Duke- street, Lincoln's Inn- fields, on Tuesday, March 24. LAUNCH OF A SCREW YACHT.— Mr Trenery, of Gainsborough, has just completed an elegant screw yacht for Mr Dixon, of Bel- ton. She has received the name of the Fox, and is fitted with a 5- horse power high pressure engine, and is 45ft long, her other measurements being in proportion. CARTER AND CHAPMAN V FENTON AND KEMP.— For this pair- oared race we have received a further sum of £ 3 a side, and a similar deposit is to be made at Mr Hobb's, Westminster Arms, Holy well- street, Westminster, March 23. COLE AND HAYWOOD.— For this match we have received a further sum of £ 5 a side, and a similar deposit is to be made at Mr Huxlev's, Star, Lambeth Walk, March 26. THE RING. FIGHTS FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.— The history of the Cham- pionship of England, with the Appendix up to the end of 1860, may now be obtained at our office in one volume, price 5s, instead of 7s 6d for the two volumes. ANGLING. SALMON FISHERIES ( IRELAND) BILL. The further consideration of this measure is fixed for Wednes' day, the 25th inst, and the " sporting interest," so largely repre- sented in the House of Commons, have been induced to believe that the bill, if passed, would stock the upper waters with an un- limited supply of fish for anglers; this, we have reason to think, is a fallacy, and that the real effect would be merely to transfer the salmon now taken by fixed nets on the coast and in estuaries, to a few great proprietors of stone weirs— which extend entirely across rivers. Exaggerated illustrations of stake and bag- nets are now being exhibited in London; they are termed " destructive," which is scarcely a fair appellation; " effective,'' no doubt they are in providing the public with large supplies of salmon, in the verv best condition for food, but " destructive" they are not, being only permitted to be used for limited periods, during which it is also legal to fish the monster stone weirs. We trust, therefore, that there will be no partial legislation on the subject, and that proper provision will be introduced to prevent the use of nets in the freshwater portions of rivers. RACKETS. THE UNIVERSITY RACKET MATCHES. The annual racket matches between Oxford and Cambridge will take place during the week preceding Easter, at Prince's Club, Hans- place, Sloane- street. For the double match Messrs Walker ( B. N. C.) and Rennard ( University) will appear on behalf of Oxford, while Messrs Ainslie ( Pembroke) and Daniel ( Trinity) will represent Cambridge. The single match will be played by Messrs Ainslie and Walker. FRANK ERBWOOD AND HENRY GRAY.— In answer to the chal lenge from Gray to play Errwood a home and home match, for £ 50 a side ( close court), Errwood requests us to state that he has been very ill for the last three months, and is still unable to handle a racket, but as soon as he is recovered he will write to Gray on the subject. ____________ FOOTBALL. CHARTERHOUSE. The Charterhouse Eleven played their last football match of the season upon Wednesday, March 18, upon which occasion they were opposed to a very formidable team, which had been brought by H. C. Malkin, and which had a great preponderance in weight. The game began at 2: 55 p. m., and was kept up until 4: 50, when everyone had apparently had quite sufficient exercise, as the ener- gies of both sides had never slackened during the whole of the time, although every effort had been made in vain. During the last half hour many attempts were made to win a game on both sides, but the result, after all, was a tie. For H. C. Malkin's side, Yates and B. Thorns played very well, and exhibited much more activity than some of their colleagues. For Charterhouse, K. A. Mackenzie and L. Ogden did good service; J. Lant was, unfor- tunately, unable to play for Charterhouse. H. C. Malkin's team was made up of: H. C. Malkin, R. W. Munro, M. A. Thorns, B. Thoms, F. Giles, J. M. Yates, R. D. Cleasby, W. B. Besley, G. A. Dowdeswell, A. Severn, and E. O. Behrens. Charterhouse was represented by G. J. Cookson, B. F. Hartshorne. K. A. Macken- zie, J. T. Hodgson, Hon F. 8. O'Grady, M. J. Mackenzie, C. E. Boyle, L. Ogden, C. A. Sumner, E. L. Pearson, and H. H. Cameron. FOREST CLUB v BARNES. The return match between these clubs came off on Saturday, March 14, on the ground of the former at Leytonstone, Essex, and resulted in a second victory for the Forest Club. Play commenced at half- past three, and was continued till five. During this time only one goal was obtained, that being kicked by Mr C. Alcock, of the F. F. C. It would be invidious to mention the names of players, as all did their best, but we cannot abstain from saying that the play of Mr Morley, of the Barnes Club, and Mr C. Al- cock, of the Forest Club, elicited great applause from the specta- tors, of whom there were a large number present. The weather was fine, and the ground in good condition, and the only thing regretted was that the game was not longer. WALTHAMST0W. On Saturday, March 14, an eleven went down to Walthamstow to play against the Forest School, and after an hour and three quarters' hard play victory declared itself for the visitors by two games ( obtained by G. Dowdeswell and Yates) to one ( obtained by Gardner). Giles, Thoms, and Berens played well for the visitors, as did also Adams and Gardner for the School. The fol- lowing were the sides:— Visitors: B. Thoms, E. O. Berens, T. Giles, T. M. Yates, A. Dowdeswell, G. Dowdeswell, T. Vidal, H. Walker, J. P. Nicholls, T. Whittaker.— The School: T. Adams, G. H. Garraway, C. Carver, A. Mackerell, J. Ellis, W. Gardner, A. Creasy, A. Turner, N. Charrington, A. Cutbill, J. Littlewood. BAGATELLE.— w. Surridge of Middlesbro' will play any man living within 50 miles of Middlesbro' at the three games of bagatelle, the English, French, and Irish, t ® play on three differ- ent boards, each man to pick a board and toss for the choice of the third, for £ 10 or £ 20 a side; or Surridge will take 200 points in 1,000 up at the French game, on three different boards, of any man in the world, for; his own sum. Money ready any night next week at H. Thornton's, Crown Hotel, Middlesbro'. DUFTON AND HUGHES.—£ 25 a side for this match is to be staked March 21, in the hands of Owen Swift, at his house, and articles signed. Advertisements in our next will give all parti- culars. SWIMMING.— Professor Beckwith begs to inform the nobility, gentry, and public that he resumes his duties as swimming master at the Lambeth Baths on Saturday, March 28. All com- munications to be addressed as above, or at his house personally, the Post Office Stores, Kennington- road. JONES AND WILLIAMS.— For this match we have received a further sum of £ 5 on the part of J ones. No time or place is named in the articles for the deposits, which had better be amended. BILLIARDS.— Billiards is the most beautiful and scientific of all in- door games, and universally played. Those gentlemen who wish to learn or improve their game Bhould get a few lessons from Mr W. White, the author of White on Billiards, at the New Opera Billiard- rooms, Bow- street, Covent- garden. Terms very moderate. His system of tuition is exclusively his own, and based on principles which ensure success. IMPORTANT MATCH FOR £ 2,000 - JACK HEENAN AND TOM KING. Our readers may recollect a statement in our paper a few weeks back to the effect that an American pugilist, whose name we were not then authorised to give, could be matched against any man in England, or elsewhere, for any sum of not less than £ 1,000 a side. At the time we made this announcement we little thought there was a possibility of any man being able to raise so large a stake ; and, had we not been requested to keep dark the name of the challenger, we should have inclined to the belief that the challenge was mere bravado. The retiring character of the man, however, who, we may announce to our readers, was 110 other than J. C. Heenan, precluded such a notion, and we were content to abide the result. That result is the match we have now the pleasure to announce has been made between Heenan and Tom King, for the sum of £ 2,000, £ 100 a side having been staked in our hands, and articles signed. That this announcement is no news to our readers we are aware, seeing that the fact is now known throughout the length and breadth of the land, and the match is even now causing very considerable excitement. We had hoped to announce its being made in our last, asTem King left our office on Friday with the intention of obtaining £ 100 to stake with us that day to bind the bargain, but he was unable to meet with his backer until too late. As he really meant business, however, he found no difficulty in making the match without newspaper in- tervention. He met Heenan on Monday, March 16, at Coney's, and an appointment was at once made for the following evening at Owen Swift's, Horse Shoe, Tichborne- street. Here, the news having quickly spread, there was an immense " house," Owen's crib being crowded with sporting men of all classes, all of whom gazed upon the rival giants as they sat in friendly converse with admiring eyes. The assemblage was far more suggestive of the good old times than any that has taken place for years. The men were of a size and bearing far more like the champions of old than one is often accustomed to see, and there was a quietness of manner in each which contrasted most favourably with what one is too much in the habit of witnessing at match- makings in the present day. It was evident that both had come intent on real business; there was no animosity, but an anxious desire on either side for a match. To look at them as they sat, however, no one would for an instant have guessed that that match was to be one of fisticuffs. Heenan looked paler, and we thought thinner, than when matched with Say era, but he seemed, nevertheless, in good health. King, of the two, struck us as the bigger man; he has filled out since he last fought Mace, and his ruddy, healthy complexion contrasted favourably with that of Heenan. Whether Heenan's hands are so much injured as has been all along rumoured we cannot say, as he did not expose them to view; we trust, however they will, on the day of trial, be found as effective as ever, so that the men will meet entirely on even terms. In height they will be about on a par, 6ft Ifin, and in weight, too, we think there will not be a pin to choose. Very little time was cut to waste in talk before " time" was called for business. The money to bind the match on each side was quickly tabled, and the £ 200 handed over to Mr Coney, to be transferred to us as final stakeholders. Then came the formality of drawing up articles. The first item in these was the sum to be fought for, and this being already agreed on, caused no difficulty. Then came the time of fighting, and about this there was but little discussion; each wanted a loug day, each, 110 doubt, having an eye to business during the ensuing summer, when the fact of their being matched for £ 2,000 will, naturally, greatly enhance their popularity throughout the kingdom. This preliminary being overcome, and the periods for and amounts of deposits settled, came the awkward question of a referee, and this was the only point which caused much discussion, and upon which any diffi- culty was experienced. Many persons were proposed on either side, and no sooner proposed than rejected, until King, although knowing that we had long declined to act as referee, proposed " The Editor of Bell's Life." Heenan objected to this; he said there might be three or more Editors of Bell's Life, and it was impossible to say who might be Editor of Bell's Life nine months hence. He had no objection to our- selves personally, as we had stood referee when he fought Sayers, and if King would consent to our being named in the articles he would prefer it. King was equally willing, and although both were assured we would not act personally, Heenan insisted that he would liav8 us, and no one but us, and so our name was inserted in the articles, and they were duly signed and witnessed. This question as to a referee caused not a little difficulty, and had nearly caused the match to drop through. At the time of the match between Sayers and Heenan we met with such treatment at the hands of the American party, abetted by one or two Englishmen who should have known better, that we stated positively our in- tention not again to act ourselves as referee, especially where Heenan was concerned, and we do not mean now to alter that de- termination. We have no fault to find with Heenan personally— he invariably conducted himself respectfully and with courtesy to us— and on his leaving this country for America called on us to take leave in a friendly manner. We have not set eyes on him from that day to this, but we have heard nothing to lead us to the belief that he has since in any way changed for the worse either in manners or practices. We have no prejudices whatever against him, but we cannot make an exception in his favour, even in a match of such gigantic proportions as that under discussion. The office of referee is an unthankful one at all times. That offi- cial is sure to be bullied by the friends and adherents of both sides, and when in addition to abuse, which he is sure to incur from men when their blood is warm, and they are much excited at the Ring side, he is libelled and abused as we were by the fellows who represented the American press in this country at the match between Heenan and Sayers, it is not to be wondered at that we should decline an office attempted to be thrust upon us by one whose friends publicly accused us of acting contrary to what we knew was right. It is very probable that the Benicia Boy intended this selection of ourselves as a sort of amende honorable, and in that light we are willing to look at it, and to allow bygones to be bygones. We cannot, however, stand referee ; that is settled. The friends of the men have been made aware of this, and we are happy to say that such an arrangement has now been made under our advice as will put an end to all dif- ficulty, and we believe will ensure satisfaction and fair play 011 the day of battle, and will effectually put an end to all delay at the trysting place on either side. It is the more necessary that this should be the case, as the battle is fixed for such a period of the year as will leave but little time for discussion if it is to be set- tled by daylight. We have nothing more to add on the subject this week. The match is made; is bond fide, and we are positively as- sured will go on, as all the money is already secured on both sides. Mr Richardson and Mr Preston represent the backers of King, while Owen Swift acts as the channel through which Hee- nan's " rowdy" is to run from, we believe, the precincts of Capel- court. In answer to numerous questions, we may state that this is the first match on record for £ 2,000, the largest sum ever pre- viously fought for being; 1,000 guineas. It will be seen else- where that Mace challenges King to fight for the Championship instead of the Unknown ; but we are authorised to state that King is quite satisfied with his present match, and does not in- tend to enter into any fresh negotiations until it is over. The fol- lowing is a copy of the articles for the great match :— Articles of agreement entered into this the seventeenth day of March, 1363, between John Carmel Heenan and Thomas King. The said John Carmel Heenan agrees to fight the said Thomas King a fair stand up fight, according to the new rules of the Ring, by which the said John Carmel Heenan and the said Thomas King hereby agree to be bound. The said fight shall be for the sum of one thousand pounds a side, and shall take place on the eighth day of December, one thousand eight hundred and sixth three, within one hundred miles of London. In pursuance of this agreement one hundred pounds a side are now deposited in the hands of Mr John Coney, who shall transmit the same to the Editor of Bell's Life, who shall be final stakeholder ; the second deposit of £ 50 a side shall be made at Mr W. Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Shoreditch, on Thursday, March 26 ; the third, of £ 50 a side, to be made on April 9 ; the fourth, of £ 50 a side, on April 23 ; the fifth, of £ 50 a side, on May 7 ; the sixth, of £ 50 a side, on May 21; the seventh, of £ 50 a side, on June 4 ; the eighth, of £ 50 a side, on June 18 ; the ninth, of £ 50 a side, on July 2; the tenth, of £ 50 a side, on July 16; the eleventh, of £ 50 a side, on July 30; the twelfth, of £ 50 a side, on August 13 ; the thirteenth, of £ 50 a side, on August 27 ; the fourteenth, of £ 50 a side, on September 10 ; the fifteenth, of £ 50 a side, on September 24; the sixteenth, of £ 50 a side, on Oct 22 ; the seventeenth, of £ 50 a side, on Novem- ber 5 ; and the final deposit of £ 100 a side on November 26, at Mr W. Richardson's, Blue Anchor, as abeve, when the men shall mutually agree to the place of fighting. The said deposits to be made between the hours of eight and ten p. m. on the days and at the houses named, either party failing to forfeit the money down. The houses at which the deposits shall be made are to be named by each party alternately, and to be in London. The place of the next deposit to be named at the staking of the previous one, Heenan having to name the place of the third deposit. The men to be in the ring between the hours often a. m. and one p. m., on the day named, or the man absent to forfeit the money. But in the event of magisterial interference, the referee shall decide the next place and time of meeting, the same day if possible. The expenses of the ropes and stakes shall be borne mutually. The Editor of Bell's Life in London to be referee. Two umpires to be chosen on the ground, and in case of dispute between them the decision of the referee to be final. In pursuance of this agreement we hereunto attach our names, JOHN CARMEL HEENAN. CHARLES BUSH, for Thomas King. Witness, H. A. REED. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. JEM MACE AND THE UNKNOWN.— In our last we announced that there had been a forfeit in this match on the part of the Un- known, and we at the same time alluded to the rumours afloat to the effect that the match was a sham from the beginning, got up by Mace for his own purposes, and that the Unknown was well known by the initiated to be neither more nor less than a myth. We at the same time called upon Mace for an explanation, and left to him to decide as to the course he would pursue under the circumstances. We have now to lay before the public a letter received from Mace, who, in addition to the letter, requests us to state that in order to prove his innocence he calls upen every gentleman who has stood money with him for the match with the Unknown to send his name to us, and to state the amount he has put down, so that the accusation of getting money out of the match may be refuted. He adds that so far from not wishing to fight he has all along been anxious to prove that his late defeat by King was an accident, and that he is now ready and willing to meet King for £ 200 a side and the belt, on the day originally fixed for his fight with the Unknown, or as much sooner as he likes. He has left money in our hands, and will, if King likes, stake the whole £ 200 at once. If King is afraid of him, he says he will meet " any other man " on the same day, but he would prefer King, and thinks that as the latter has nine months before him to get ready for Heenan, he can surely devote three of those monthsjto defending the title which he covets, and which he yet cannot make up his mind to uphold. His letter is as follows: TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. 8IR: I scarcely know how to express my indignation at the rumours, you say, are afloat in reference to my conduct in the match with the " Unknown." I am sure you, sir, the Editor of Bell's Life, who have not shown the slightest preference to me or any person, must be convinced of my honesty, integrity, and de- termination to act in every way as becomes a Champion, a man, and an honourable pugilist; therefore, I cinnot refrain from calling upon you to retract your expressions of " fishy," a " myth," " in order to gain time to hold the belt," because being uncon- soious of anything approaching to wrong myself, I do feel not only indignant, but grieved at any doubt being expressed as to my courage, ability, or desire to maintain the supremacy of the Belt. The class of friends I have at my back are those who, satisfied with my conduct during the past, are content to back me in the future, and they are gentlemen who require not victory on my part, so much as an honourable contest, to exhibit the qualities of a pugilist when the best man is intended to win ; and I cannot refrain again from expressing my deep regret at the supposition of my lending myself to anything so degradingand dishonourable. I will at once frankly confess that I am not so much of a child as not to claim the forfeit which has been made by the " Unknown.'' I do so now, and this is an intimation of my determination to do it. But, coupled with this, I will leave £ 50 down as a deposit in your hands to fight the " Unknown," or any man breathing, for £ 200 a side and the Belt, within three months of this date; and, further, to express my desire to meet either Heenan or King on the same terms. If I am " fishy "— if I am a " my th''— let any or either of them accept these terms, and by an honourable contest prove the fidelity of my designs. I have nothing to gain by loss of time, and my conduct does not justify the imputation, and if after this the " Unknown," or either Heenan or King do not accept this offer, I trust you will have the editorial manliness not to insert their letters of challenge in future. I have shown size is nothing, and after my fluke defeat by King I at once intimated my desire to fight him again, and if the cowardice of those who having backed the " Unknown," or the fear of himself combined, is so great as to cause them to attribute the forfeit to the non- arrival of a steam- packet, so as to gain time to find another man, I am not so much of a child as to be done, so I claim their forfeit, and dare them each and all respectively to bring the most formidable known candidate into the field and cover the £ 50 already left at your office. I have just seen a statement of a match between King and Heenan, and I feel sure the public will not recognise the claims ot either to the coveted dignity of Championship until by a trial with me one or both either whip me or are defeated. Perhaps Mr King will be more careful in his expressions about me behind my back, lest I should be tempted to adopt the necessity, when next we meet, of compelling him to hold up his hands, which might per- haps incapacitate him from proceeding with what appears to me his pretended encounter with Heenan. If I am not matched for the Belt before that event takes place, let it be now distinctly un- derstood that I will fight both the victor and vanquished at suit- able intervals, and am willing with the victor to contest for the Belt. Being at present pushed for time I can only conclude by quoting the familiar phrase, viz, " If any man has ought to say, let him say it now, or hereafter hold his peace," and, further, to assure my friends that in all the future contests I may have with big or little I shall have an honourable desire to win. If a deter- mination never to say " die" can accomplish a victory, the science which nature has given me will, I feel, assuredly accomplish that most desirable result.— Yours, & c, JEM MACE. The Cambridge, Upper Market, Norwich, March 18, 1863 ( Noon). FIGHT BETWEEN JOHN DREW AND AARON MOSS ( ALIAS DUTCH SAM), FOR FIFTY POUNDS A SIDE. This match came off on Tuesday ( St Patrick's Day in the morning), but owing to the unwelcome appearance of the police was not fought out, the referee having to suspend hostilities at a most critical period of the battle, when Drew's friends were confident that had the contest been allowed to progress their man must have won. Moss, who received the sobriquet of Young Dutch Sam from some supposed likeness be- tween him and that late star of the ring— a likeness, by the bye, we never could perceive— made his debut on the 9th of J uly, 1861, when he met Jem Gollagher for £ 25 a side, and was defeated in b4 rounds, 84 minutes. On this occasion he showed undeniable skill in the use of his mawleys, but failed to impress his friends with a very strong conviction that in pluck he was all that a boxer ought to be. Sam is twenty- seven, stands 5ft Sin, and is as well made, compact a little fellow as ever stepped within the ropes. He was backed by W. Ward, the Ironfounders' Arms, Greenwich, and was likewise well supported by the Hebrew frater- nity, who were remarkably sweet on the " poy.'' Drew has fought one or two minor battles prior to the present match, the particulars ef which will be found in FLstiana, and in these preparatory lifts " he is considered to have given unques- tionable promise of future merit and scientific excellence. Jack was taken by the hand and brought out for this match by the gallant Bob l'ravers. Drew is 27, stands 5ft 5jin, and is fair- haired and light- compiexioned, so that his phiz presented a strik- ing contrast to the somewhat swarthy visage of his antagonist. The men were confined to 8st, and on Monday went to scale at Bob Tra- vers's, The Sun and Thirteen Cantons, Castle- street, Leicester- square, when both were within the prescribed limitation, but had brought matters to so close a slave that it could only be said they werejust to weight, and " nothing more." After au aquatic excursion the ring was formed by Fred Oliver on an old familiar spot, and when- all was in readiness the men stepped within the ropes, Sam being waited on by a couple of celebrated East End members of the pugilistic corps, while Drew retained for counsel one or two well known pugs, who shall be nameless. Sam was the favourite at 6 to 4. The toss for corners was won by Drew, who placed his back to the keen north- east wind. The toilettes of the men having been completed they were conducted to the scratch, and at twenty - five minutes to twelve o'clock commenced THE FIGHT. Round 1. The keen, frosty air, as the combatants stood at the mark, caused them to shake themselves with an unmistakable twist. The Jew having placed himself in position, drew trom his man, and took a good leok at him. Drew was more lathy in make than his antagonist, and had a little advantage in height and reach, but it was a mere trifle. The condition of both was fault- less, and reflects the highest credit on their trainers. Sam pre- sented a very different appearance to what he had done on the day he met Gollagher. The muscles in his well- set, sturdy frame were fuJy developed, while there was nothing in the shape of superfluous meat to be detected. The sparring and manoeuvring was both pretty and scientific, demonstrating that they were a couple of smart, clever tacticians. At length the men got to the ropes, Sam having his back against them, when Drew went dash- ing at him, getting home the left on the side of the pimple. Sam on the instant fought his man left and right, and in the merry ex- changes that followed both did execution, the Jew delivering on the front of the dial left and right, Jack putting in some of the burnishing powder on the right jaw with the left, and with the right he dashed in rather a thick- un on the breast. Sam, finding he was getting more and more confined in action, broke. Jack, with great rapidity, made the necessary change in position, and followed Sam, who, when near the ropes in his own corner, slipped down. 2. The men came readily from their corners, and after dis- playing some neat points, Drew got home the left on the eheek, hitting over the right guard, which was not brought quite sufficiently well up. Having taken other ground, the lads got well together, when the Jew putin a remarkably fine left- hander on the right cheek, hitting with rare precision. Again the men, in shifting, made the circuit of the ring, till at length they cautiously came weaving in, Sam, when he had sufficiently diminished the perspective as to be well within measure, putting a fine left- hander on the forehead, Drew, who brought himself forward with the half- step as Sam was getting out, laying on a hot one on the ribs. The lads now went rattling away on the re- gular ding- dong principle, the hitting in these brilliant ex- changes, from the manner in which they made use of their maw- leys, being very effective, Sam getting on the cheek, nose, and forehead with the left, and on the top of the cranium with the right, Drew deing duty with the left on the kisser, and with the right on the left side of the knowledge box. The lads, in a spirited manner, fought to a close, when in the fall both went down. First blood was claimed for Drew, and admitted, the ruby being just perceptible from Sam's tater- trap. 3. There was on the part of both a display of many clever and artistic points. The men were again and again in all parts of the ring, there being occasionally an exchange of pretty and rather effective passes. At length Jack, after coming well in on his an- tagonist, delivered a left- hander on the cheek. The men having made a new disposition again got well up, when being admirably within fire Sam let go a straight- un with the left on the maz- zard. As the Israelite shifted to get from range, Drew dashed at him and forced the fighting. The lads now rattled away with both mawleys in a merry ding- dong fashion, until Sam, who wished to avoid the close, got down on his hands and knees, and while in this position Drew, who was in the act of hitting, caught the Hebrew on the nob. Bos appealed, but the referee was not to be melted. 4. Jack was marked on the bridge of the proboscis, having had the bark slightly taken off. He again got well over the cross guard, and gave a fine left- handed shot on the muzzle, getting well away. Having made a fresh variation, they again brought- to in fine order, when after some artistic manoeuvring, Sam got home the left on the victualling depot. Jack, bent on forcing the fighting, went rattling to his man in the most resolute and determined style. Sam, nothing loth, met him on the milling suit, and fought in a merry, rapid style, Drew, who was the most effective, getting well heme with the left 011 the ivories, mouth, and nose; the Jew making use of the left on the right cheek, and with the right delivered on the side of the pepper castor. The men in the rally got to the ropes, Sam nearly oti them, when finding he was in an awkward fix he went down. 5. Drew had begun to take a decided lead. Acting on the advice of his counsel, he went rattling at his man to force the fighting, and with the left gave the postman's double on the dial; Sam, in changing pesition, got to the ropes, and the men paused and grinned. After manoeuvring in all parts of the ring they got well together, and again and again countered magnificently with the left, both doing effec- tive execution on the dial. As Sam drew from his man Drew pegged in, and they fought left and right, these ex- changes at the nob being splendidly timed, until Drew, who was in his own corner, went down on his hands and knees. 6. The men came up simultaneously, and though both were much flushed about the nob, still it was apparent that there had at present not been any great harm done. After a little sparring they countered, Drew putting the left with force on the jaw, Bam, who hit somewhat short, getting home on the top of the breast. After once more ringing the changes and getting here and there in all parts of the ring, they got together, and in a spirited man- ner fought left and right with astonishing rapidity to a close, when, in the struggle for the fall, both went down in Drew's corner, Sam under. 7. Sam, who was rather slow to leave the corner, came up bleed- ing from the left ear. Drew, finding he required breathing, re- solved to let him have no rest With rapid action he dashed at him to force the fighting, and in the hitting was extremely effective, getting heavily on the mouth, nose, and left side of the sconce, Sam doing execution on the right cheek, chin, and with the right on the top of the nob. Sam, in shifting with the back step from his man, got to the ropes and went down. 8. Drew, with the left, delivered full on the dial; Sam coun- tered slightly, and then went down on his hands and knees in a manner totally opposed to the spirit of the 13th Rule. There was objection taken to this, but the point| was overruled. 9. Jack went rattling to his work, and at close range got home a fine left- hander on the left peeper. Sam, after exchanging with his man, drew out. Jack missed by a mere shave a well- inten- tioned upper cut, hitting, however, much too wide. Sam fought with much spirit, but to avoid the close, got down in a suspicious form. 10. Drew, in a fine cross fire with the left, got home on the left cheek just below the listener; Sam, with the same mawley, deli- vering a shot on the ivories. The men in manceuvring shifted ground, and got in all parts of the ring. Drew, who was not to be kept out, forced his way to a close, and in struggling Jack got his man in the forearm noose, and in the fall both went down. 11. Bob, finding that Sam was still further falling off, urged Jack to follow up the forcing system, and at it he went, getting home the left on the front of the nob. As Sam changed position and took fresh ground Drew followed, and fought left and right to a close. After some pretty fibbing from the forearm, Bam making use of the left on the head, Drew rubbing in the wax with the right on the head and body, they struggled for the fall, when Drew whipped in the back heel, and grassed his man beau- tifully. 12. Jack home a double shot on the nob, and after making this fine cannon stroke, put in a right- hander on the side of the head, when Sam, after delivering the left on the jaw, got from his man and went down. 13. Jack fought his man in a fine rally with both mawleys to a close, when Sam went to grass. 14. Jack home a heavy left- hander on the top of the breast, when Sam went staggering back, and nearly fell. He, however, pulled himself together, and as he came forward Drew met him. In a rally they fought with both hands at the head in all parts of the ring, when Sam, who had the worst of it, went down. Jack, who was in the act of letting it go again, hit his man slightly while on his knees, but although Bos made an appeal, it had not the least effect. 15. As Drew followed his man, Bam got to the ropes. Jack in lunging out the left just missed his man, and was within an ace of hitting the stake. Having pulled themselves together and taken fresh positions, they fought in a lively manner left and right to a close, and in struggling went down in a harmless side fall close to where the referee was seated. 16. The men broke ground in all parts of the ring. At length they paused, when Drew, as usual, taking the initiative, delivered the left on the cheek and left side of the head, when Sam, after returning slightly, in getting from his man went down in the middle of the ring. 17. Drew home a fine left- hander on the side of Sam's pneu- matic despatch. As the " poy'' retreated Jack followed, and put in a heavy shot with the right on the body, when Bam, who was in Drew's corner, went down. 18. Jack had a slight mouse under the right peeper, and gave further proof of the tinting about the nose and mouth, but still he was as fresh as at the commencement. Sam was a good deal swelled about the left side of his mouth, and the left listener, from the visitations paid to it by his opponent, had rather an awkward appearance, but about the lamps the damage was of the most trifling description. Jack opened the ball with a shot on the side of the kisser from the left, when Sam, who was close to his own corner, went down. 19. Jack again went to his man to force the fighting, and after getting home heavily with the left, Sam, breaking, went down in a very suspicious manner. 20. Sam this time changed the order of things, for no sooner had the men got well to measure than he put in a fine left- hander on the nose, and followed up with the right on the body. Having made a fresh disposition they again got well within distance, when Drew put in a stinger from the left on the jaw, and by the way of keeping matters equi- poised brought the right heavily to bear on the ribs. The lads being both willing fought on the ding- dong style to a close, when Bam went down. 21. Drew home with the left on the nob, when after shifting posi- tionthe menagaincame together; inaspiritedmannertheyfought with both mawleys left and right to a close, when Sam to avoid the struggle broke from his man and went down. The contest had now lasted 47 minutes. Just as the men were about to come from their corners for the purpose of renewing the contest a posse of the police was found to be making for the scene of action with all possible despatch, therefore the referee was compelled to order the men to at once suspend hostilities. The police came fully armed for action, and to the grief of Puggy again seized upon the ropes and stakes, which they carried off in triumph. As under the circumstances there was no possibility of the contest being resumed, the referee named Thursday for another meeting. On Thursday the men again met, and on the road down a medical certificate was handed to the referee, to the effect that Sam's ribs were so injured he could not fight. On reaching the appointed spot, however, the referee ordered the ring to be pitched, and gave Hotice to both men that he should expect them to be in the ring in a quarter of an hour after all was in readiness. On the arrival of this moment Drew was to his post, but Bam did not show, although he was not very far from the ring side. The referee, therefore, ordered Drew to leave the ring, and declared his intention of giving his decision to us on Friday. On that day the referee met the backers of the men again at our office, when Mr Ward produced another certificate, stating that Sam's ribs were broken, and claimed that another day should be named for the renewal of the battle, as had been done in the case of Brettle and Rook. The referee, however, said, had the injury been of so serious a nature, it was the duty of Sam's backers to have applied to him on Wednesday fer a post- ponement, and not put the parties concerned to the expense of a journey on Thursday. The case of Brettle and Rook was totally different to this. Brettle had sprained his ancle by accident, and actually fought a second day with it in that state, and it was not till the third day, when the joint had become stiff, that time was given him, and the fact that Rook could do nothing with him on the second day was also taken into consideration. Here the injury was not the result of accident, but was inflicted by a blow or blows in fair fight, and, therefore, he did not think further time should be given. 8am had not appeared in the ring at the time appointed, and he therefore awarded the stakes to Drew. On hearing this Dutch Sam's backer, Mr Ward, served us with a legal notice not to part with the stakes, a proceeding which will only redound to his own injury. We have taken the usual gua- rantee against legal consequences, and handed the money to Bob Travers, who will give it to Drew, at his own house, the Sun and Thirteen Cantons, on Tuesday night, March 24. Mr Ward's ad- vertisements will not be allowed to appear in our columns until his notice is withdrawn, and the legal expenses attending the drawing up of the guarantee are paid. He is quite aware that the decisions of referees are by us held to be indisputable, and has only himself to thank for his ill- advised notice. The case is not at all similar to that of Brettle and Rook, but in almost every particular resembles that of Bob Travers and Bodger Crutchley. The referee's decision we consider to be a very proper one. Sam, we are sorry to hear, is in the London Hospital, W. CUTLEB AND YOUNG TOM LANE.— These Birmingham lads met on Monday last, at Hodge Hill, near Castle Brunswick, at catch weight for £ 10. Both men are novices. Cutler was backed from Rook's, and Lane from Wright's. Both men were in good trim. Lane had the advantage over Cutler in height by nearly two inches. Cutler was the first to enter the ring, Lane quickly followed, and the men at once got to work, Cutler leading off with his right in the ribs, Lane returning it with his right over the left eye of Cutler, from which the claret showed, ( first blood to Lane). Cutler, nothing daunted, made play in Lane's ribs— as round after round succeeded each other. Lane exhibited a superiority in fighting, and his friends anticipated an easy victory and ottered 5 to 1 on him. Cutler, however, made his way steadily and landed some sharp and heavy rib roasters on his opponent, and put in mourning his left ogle, whilst his own mouth- piece was damaged, and his right ogle discoloured. Cutler got the knock down blow by a rattler on Lane's ribs. After one hour's fighting the odds veered round on Cutler, and 3 to 2 was laid on him, for although Lane got well home on his man his blows did not appear effective, whilst Cutler in several rounds fell from the force of his own blows. The men rattled away at each other for another thirty- five minutes, when the Blues, who had crept up one by one, made an effectual entry into the ring, thus stopping one of the gamest battles that has taken place in the district for some time past. Both men had received a fair quantum of punishment, after fighting fifty two rounds in one hour and thirty- six minutes. The referee ( Mr Austin Roberts) ordered the men to meet him the same evening, at eight o'clock, at Rook's, in order to arrange matters for finish- ing the fight the next day. The referee attended at Rook's at the time appointed, but it appears that he had also named the stake- holder's ( Morris Roberts) to Lane's party as the place of meeting, by which error Lane or his friends did not put in an appearance at Rook's, and Cutler claimed the battle money. On Tuesday the referee ordered the men to meet him at a well- known sporting h « use in Birmingham, at seven o'clock, on Wednesday morning, March 18, when he should name a place of meeting to finish the fight. Lane and his friends were in attendance. Cutler's seconds were also there. Cutler, although on the road, did not make his appearance at the time, and the referee, after waiting half an hour, decided that Lane was entitled to the battle money. This decision is of course final. WATERMAN AND PARKER — These Birmingham men were to have fought in the same ring as Cutler and Lane, but as that could not be, a move was made to Bromford, where they fought at catch weight for £ 5, and thirteen rounds of determined milling took place in favour of Waterman, who forced the fighting in every round, when the gentlemen in blue appeared. A move was made to Slade- lane, near Erdington, and again the men com- menced operations. Waterman again led the way, fighting his man home to the ropes and damaging his frontispiece fearfully ; and his friends wished to give in for him, seeing he had no chance, yet he kept gamely on for three more rounds, when the sponge was thrown up by his seconds in token of defeat, after fighting, in both rings, 26 rounds, 41 minutes. J. EVANS ( ALIAS SMOKEK) OF DUDLEY AND PUGH OF WEST- BROMWICH.— These district men met on Monday, March 16, at Hartlebury, Worcestershire, at catch weight, for £ 10 a side. The men entered the ring duly attended. They commenced operations in real milling style. In the third round Smoker drew first blood from a rattling left- hander 011 Pugh's right ogle, and in the thirty- eighth round also got the knock- down blow. After a gallant fight, Pugh was compelled to cry hold, enough' after fighting 36 rounds in 56 minutes. FRAWLEY AND HARRISON.— These lads were to have fought on Monday, March 16, but were unable to get the fight off. They then agreed to go and fight on Thursday, March 19, in the same ring as Drew and Young Sam, and ts meet at the appointed rail- way station at six o'clock in the morning. Frawley was punctual, but Harrison did not put in an appearance until long after the time, so the stakes have been awarded to Frawley.

SFOONEK AND MILES'S WALKING MATCH.— The match between W. Spooner of Turnham Green and J. Miles of Brixton to walk three consecutive hours, for £ 25 a side, Spooner giving his op- onent one minute and a half start, came off on Monday, ^ arch 16, iu these grounds, and, from the well- known celebrity of the men, the contest excited a considerable degree of interest, and drew together upwards of 1,400 spectators, among whom a good deal of speculation teok place at evens. Both men had been in active training, and looked in admirable condition. The men have so often appeared in public, and their per- formances given, that a repetition is deemed quite un- necessary. At about three o'clock the men appeared at the scratch, and the signal was given immediately for Miles to start, which he did in fine style, and paced over about 400 yards in the given time. Spooner then went to work at a great pace, when it soon became evident he was gaining ground, but when a mile was completed he began to lose ground, and at about a mile and a half Miles was within two yards of his opponent, who had then a lap, or 440 yards, to do to be upon even terms with Miles. The match may easily be described: they walked in close company until the eleventh mile, Spooner then, according to the given time, still had a lap to do to be on equal terms with Miles. At this time the latter showed symptoms of distress, and Spooner, seeing this, dashed away from his oppo- nent. From this time the race was never in doubt, for Spooner continued gaining ground up to the fifteenth mile, when Miles's friends, seeing his chance completely out, took him off the ground, dead beat, and Miles having sent word that he did not require Spooner to walk the time out, he was declared the winner at 15 miles. The first mile was done by Spooner in 7min 1.3sec, the two miles in 15min 9sec, and the first mile by Miles in Jmin32sec; seven miles were walked by Spooner in 58min, 10 miles in lh 23min, 14 miles in lh 58min 4sec, and 15 miles in 2h 6min 53sec. Spooner can have the stakes on Thursday, March 26, at our office. „, At Brompton, on Monday, March 23, Mr Roberts will give £ 1 for a 440 Yards Handicap, to be made on the ground; also £ 1 for a Mile Race, for novices who have never won £ 5.

COLLINS AND TURNER.— On Monday, March 16, these pedes- trians met on Mr Garratt's ground to run a quarter of a mile, for £ 5 a side, Turner allowed ten yards, there being a good attend- ance. The odds were in favour of Collins, and on the referee being appointed the competitors came to the mark, when Turner was placed the given distance in advance. The men had to go by report of pistol, and on the signal being fired they bounded off, Collins displaying so much superior agility to his opponent in getting away that he gained a good five yards on him. Although Turner made the running at a clipping paee, yet it was soon apparent Collins had a decided turn of speed in his favour, for he continued to gain on his opponent from the commencement of the struggle, and had so im- proved his position that when about three hundred yards had been run he had succeeded in obtaining the lead. Having once gone to the fore, the result of the struggle was never in doubt, for Collins at every stride left his man more and more in the rear, and on the completion of the distance went by the goal an easy winner by fully 10 yards. The stakes can be received by the winner at our office at twelve o'clock on Thursday next, March 26. WILLINGS v TIME.— This pedestrian, for a bet of £ 5 even, Mr F. Chandler backing time, undertook to walk five miles, and carry half a hundred weight on his head in a basket, within the hour. The event came off here on Wednesday, March 18. G. Martin was chosen referee and timekeeper, and all the preliminaries being arranged, Willings was told to go, when off he went in re- markably good form. From the commencement to the finish he walked the match at a winning pace, and accomplished the task with so much ease that, on the completion of the fifth and last mile, he was found to be a winner by 15min 17sec. SHEFFIELD AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. THE LATE ONE- AND- A- QUABTER- MILE CHAMPION CUP RACE AT SHEFFIELD.— Mr Editor: I hope that you will allow me, through the medium of your columns, to say a few words in answer to the letter that appeared in Bell's Life of March 15, from J. Sanderson, the Champion, in which he says that, to use his own words, " So long as I am proprietor of Hyde Park, he will not run 8t. aplet. on nor any other man on the Sheffield course, as he considers that I have very badly used him." I would ask him in what respect? He says, that before he was allowed to take the cup away, he had to deposit £ 25, and find three parties as security for the other £ 25— so far so good. The conditions upon which the cup was first given to be run for are as follows:— That the winner shall run any challenger for the cup and £ 25 a side in six weeks from the said challenge appearing in Bell's Life; the winner to hold the cup eighteen months against allcomers, before it becomes his own private property, and, before taking the cup away, to give security to the satisfaction of the donors. Having an equal share in the cup along with Mr J. Darley, when the last race took place, on the 28th February, between Sanderson, Mills, White, and Albison, and in which the former was the winner, and received an equal share of the gate money, I told Sanderson that he would have to deposit the sum of £ 25, as my share of the cup, before I gave my consent for him to take it away, in the hands of Mr J. Darley, that gentleman being at liberty to make what arrange- ment he thought proper as to his share. It appears, however, that Mr Darley, and not myself, required Sanderson to find se- curity for the other £ 25, which, being named, was accepted; and Sanderson, who only fulfilled the conditions, was then allowed to take the cup away. Consequently, yourself and the public can see at a glance that the part which I have taken in the matter was only what any proprietor would have done were he placed in my position, leaving Mr Darley to require security or not for his por- tion of the cup.— Yours, & c, J. BOOTHROYD, proprietor of Hyde Park, Sheffield.

THOMAS OF TIVIDALE AND WEBB OF KATE'S HILL.— These men ran their six score yards match, for £ 10 a side, at Aston Cross Grounds on Monday, March 16, when there was a large attendance present. They, some fifteen months back, ran a match of like dis- tance, when, after a well contested race, Thomas was the winner. That great interest was taken in the present match was apparent from the eagerness of friends of both men to lay their money out, which was done to a large amount at evens, not only on the ground but in the districts the men hail from. The condition of the men was all that could be desired, Thomas, as usual, having looked to himself, whilst Webb had been carefully looked after by T. Jones. Webb's last match at these grounds was with Youug Hodson a fortnight back, whom he beat in a canter. The toss for choice of sides was won by Thomas. Previous to going to scratch the men laid an even 50s and the gate money. Our correspondent was appointed referee, the men mutually agreeing that Mr T. Clulee should fire the pistol for the start. Previous to the starter taking his position, he asked both men if they intended to run out. To this question they said they did not intend so to do. He then ordered the men to the mark, and took up his position to fire, both parties being on the mark, but before he could pull the trigger Thomas run over his mark five or six yards. Webb remained on his mark, and immediately claimed the race, on the grounds that Thomas had broken the articles, by starting before the pistol was fired, and claimed the money of the stakeholder, Mr Cbal- lingworth, of Dudley, who was present. An appeal was at once made to the referee for his decision, but he could not give it, as the stakeholder had not the articles with him, and he could not state whether in the articles it was named for the man to lose the money if he went before the pistol was fired, or the man not going when the pistol was fired to lose. The referee, therefore, under the circumstances, refused to give his decision till the articles were produced to hiin. As may be anticipated, a good deal of disappointment was the result, in not having a race, and bets to some amount drawn on the ground. Thomas states that he was not aware that the starter was about to fire, and that he ran out, as is usual on such occasions; but this is flatly contradicted by Mr T. Clulee, the starter. We have received the starter's account, and also the articles, and will look into the matter. A. SIMPSON AND T. POUNTNEY.— These Birmingham men are matched to run 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, at Aston Cross Grounds, on Monday, April 6. To start in 15 minutes, or go by report of a pistol. Mr G.

FRIDAY, MARCH 13.— A WRESTLER IN A NEW CHARACTER.— An interesting match, to which no publicity had previously been given, came off here this afternoon ; and, from the above cause, the company who had assembled to witness it was much more select than numerous. In the persons of some of those present, however, pedestrianism and wrestling were well represented, as among others on the ground, were 8. Albison( the champion mile> runner), B. Taylor of Failsworth, J. Booth of Newton Heath, D. Heywood ( alias Big Dan), & c. The contest to be decided was a match against time, in which J. Mangle of Bury, who is well known in the wrestling arena, had undertaken to run 10 miles in one hour and ten minutes, for £ 10 a side. The backers of the old Scythebearer were three gentlemen of Ashton, and the adherents of the pedestrian were J. Howarth and Kelford ( both of Bury), Mr Lumb being stakeholder. In order to accomplish the distance, Mangle had to traverse 29 laps, 64 yards, and two feet of the ground, Mr Hayes filling the office of timekeeper. As might have been expected, under the circumstances, odds were laid on Old Father Time winning the match; and against this ' dangerous customer" the pedestrian entered the course to com- pete. At one o'clock Mangle commenced his lengthy iourney, which he continued, encouraged by his friends, in the most Same manner. Long before his work was completed, however, [ angle exhibited symptoms of being in difficulties, but, notwith- standing, he appeared determined, impossible, not to be defeated upon this occasion even by his formidable opponent. Mangle, therefore, kept gallantly on his way, and, though closely pressed towards the finish, eventually proved victorious, having run the 10 miles in lh 9min 47jsec, thus winning the match by 12jsec only— the performance being ahighly creditable ene.

SATURDAY.— PIGEON SHOOTING.— Although the weather was cold and ungenial, the attendance at these grounds to- day numbered bet ween 500 and 600 persons. The only event arranged for decision was a match, for £ 25 a side, the lin- gerers of the trigger being Mr S. Wood and Mr J. Buckley ( re- spectively of Saddleworth). The agreement into which they had entered was to shoot at 25 birds each, for the above sum, with Ijoz of shot, 21 yards rise, and 80 boundary; Mr Hayes to be stakeholder and referee. The betting at start was even, Mr Buck- ley being most fancied, and his aim this afternaon was of a tole- rably sure and deadly character; whilst the shooting of Mr Wood was exceedingly mediocre. When they had shot at 20 birds each, Mr Buckley was declared the winner, he having only missed his 5th and 11th birds. Mr Wood allowed his 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 13th, and 14th birds ts escape; therefore Mr Buckley won the match very easily by six.

HAREW00D ARMS, LEEDS, AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. SATURDAY, MARCH 14.— THROWING ABBOWS.— A match at this novel game, for £ 20 a side, was played at the Cardigan Arms, Leeds, between J. Raper of Dudley Hill and T. Baxter of Bowl- ing; the latter, having been for some time considered champion at this game, allowed Raper 20 scores in 30 throws. A description of this novel and simple game may not be uninteresting to our readers, which can be given in a few words. They are each fur- nished with a small twig of hazel wood, rather thicker than a to- bacco pipe; it is about two feet in length, of nearly an equal thick- ness at both ends. The end of a piece of small string is put once round the arrow, about four inches from the end which is to be thrown the first; this string is drawn down to the other end of the arrow, where it is wrapped round the forefinger of the right hand, and held tight. The thrower then hasto throw from a certain mark, to which he runs a few yards, then throws the arrow, as if he was throwing a stone. From the sudden jerk given, the arrow then becomes detached from the string, which still remains on the finger, and away it bounds to an incredible distance. They have what are called score sticks placed 20 yards apart, by which the distance is counted. The score only being reckoned which the arrow passes, in the same way as knurs are counted in the game at knur and spell. Betting commenced at 5 to 4 on Baxter, but became even before the game commenced, in consequence of Raper showing some superior playing in his practice throws. The following is each man's scores. Raper went on the first. Rap « rs scores.

SATURDAY, MARCH 14.— HANCOCK AND BEDDOW.— Without any desire to detract, even in the slightest degree, from the ac- knowledged pedestrian qualifications of J. Hancock of Salford or those of G. Beddow ( formerly of London), the appearance of the above grounds, not only to- day, but also on a previous occasion when the sajne men engaged in foot- racing conflict, goes far to prove the public have, for the present, ceased to take much interest with regard to the result of events in which Hancock and Beddow perform the principal characters. Their match of this afternoon was to run 180 yards, for £ 25 a side, Mr G. Hardy, of the Rising Bun, Swan- street, Manchester, being stakeholder and referee, but the assemblage of persons who gathered to witness the contest did not reach 150. Beddow being the champion at 400 yards, whilst Hancock is a sprint runner, and the latter having received forfeit from Beddow only a few days before in a match to run 300 yards, added to other circumstances which seemed to tell in his favour, caused the race of to- day to be booked as a certainty for Hancoek, 2 to 1 being freely offered on him at start. After about a score of false attempts they went away, Hancock gaining a little advantage on quitting the mark. He was, however, soon passed by Beddow, who, during the last half of the distance, showed still further in front, and won easily, " hands down," by a couple of yards, greatly to the surprise of the backers of Hancock.

PARK OF GLASGOW.— On Mon- day, March 16, there were some 2,000 assembled on the Stone- field Running Ground, Glasgow, to witness the hour's race, for £ 25 a side, between these pedestrians, Andrews allowing two minutes start. The betting was 2 to 1 on Park, and Campbell, the Champion Rower of Scotland, was chosen referee. Park in the given time covered 760 yards, and on the Englishman being told to go, he dashed off at a good pace. From the moment An- drews had started he began to gain upon his opponent in a most decided manner, and so evinced his superiority in speed, that when the competitors had covered about three miles and a half, Andrews was leading. Throughout the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth miles Andrews left his man gradually more and more in the rear, Park, on the termination of the abovementioned dis- tance, being fully 120 yards behind; so, finding he had not the least chance, he pulled up and retired. Andrews, being left in undisputed possession of the field, went pacing gently on; but ere the ninth mile had been finished the backers of Park told him there was no necessity to run the remainder of the time out, as they were satisfied their man was fairly beaten; therefore, Andrews, on receiving this permission, at once retired from the ground. MATCH AGAINST TIME.— Capt W. Block undertook to perform three miles in 30 minutes, for £ 50, on Wednesday last, at Cardiff. A large concourse of spectators were on the moors to witness the feat, which the gallant captain performed amid loud cheers in 29 minutes 21 seconds.

The County Louth Coursing Club, as yet but in its infancy, is fast becoming one of the most fashionable in Ireland. Since its formation, which took place in 1859, it has made rapid progress, the members at the present period numbering forty- five. In 1860 an open stake of sixteen greyhounds, at 5 guineas each, was run for at the Spring Meeting, and won by Mr Scott's Black Eagle, Barney Williams, then a puppy, running up. The Grand Na- tional Champion Stakes was then increased to 32 dogs, at 10 gui- neas each, and in 1861 was won by the " Irish terrier," Blue Hat. In 1862 Mr Spinks's Sea Foam and Sea Pink ran first and second, and as an acknowledgment of his success the latter gen- tleman, always desirous of adding to the popularity of a meeting, liberally presented a silver cup of the value of £ 50 to be added to the Champion Stake, on the present occasion, the members of the olub, as an acknowledgment, adding a silver collar. The application for nominations far exceeded the number re- quired, consequently the entry for the stake closed seme time ? reviously with ten English, three Scotch, and nineteen rish nominations— Mr G- avin Steel's Spencer, brother to Bixty- one, and Mr Borron's Black Coat and Broadcloth re- presenting Scotland; Liverpool and neighbourhood sending Sea Foam and Sea Pink ( Mr Spinks's), Klarikoff and Reetop ( Mr Kayes's), Captain Dee's Debutante and Detector from White- haven, with Mr Racster's Rebe and Romping Girl from Hereford- shire, and Mr Cunningham's Hopbine made up the English divi- sion. Ireland being favoured with five from County Down: Lady Agnes, Lady Norah, Storekeeper, Swinger, and Lady; Antrim : Mr Cramsie's Merlin; Limerick: Reliance, Reform Bill, Fred, and Careless; Meath: Glendhu; Louth: Wee Nell; Derry: Cionola; Dublin: Whipper and The Gunner; Kildare: Seventh Son; Mo- naghan: Delapre and Barney Williams; and Kerry: Heather Belle. Six of the dogs entered ran for the Waterloo Cup, viz, Bea Foam, Sea Pink, Rebe, Reliance, Lady Agnes, and Hopbine. The draw took place after an excellent dinner at the Imperial Hotel, Drogheda, upwards of thirty sitting down, presided over by the indefatigable hon secretary of the club, Mr M'Alister. To enable the draw to be proceeded with as early as possible, the president proposed the stewards in the order given above, pre- viously to the cloth being drawn. Mr M'Alister personally su- perintended the draw, which, notwithstanding the many pecu- liarities attending the guarding of the English and Scotch dogs, • was very successfully got through. Mr M ' Alister stated he did not wish to overburden the company with a number of toasts, but. could not overlook the one he was about to propose, which was 44 The Healths of the Owners," over whose ground the coursing took place, including the Marquis of Conyngham, who not only kindly gave permission to go over his estate, but interested him- self much in securing other ground. During the evening the secre- tary read over the card of the first day's sport, when some spirited speculation took place on individual courses. On the event throughout there was but little betting. On WEDNESDAY we met at Wood town, a distance of fifteen miles from Drogheda, a special train of the Dublin and Belfast Railway Company accomplishing the distance under the hour. The sport commenced at Woodtown Bog, the property of Mr Booth, who very liberally provides a number' of hares for the purpose of coursing. Woodtown Bog is what would be called on the English side of the Channel a large furze or gorse cover. It is surrounded by a number of pasture fields, on to which the hares are beat. Swinger and Lady Agnes were slipped to a hare driven across the Woodtown road from TerrylCampbel fields; Lady Agnesdrewaway threelengths, strongly wrenching thehare until itescapedin the bog. Seventh Son and Klarikoff: The latter led four lengths, wrenched four or five times, and killed cleverly. Detector and Wee Nell • were slipped to a white hare, Wee Nell leading several lengths, the hare bearing in favour of her opponent, but continuing her speed, she went on the extreme outer circle, got posses- sion of the hare, and killed, beating the Whitehaven representative very hollow. Black Coat and Merlin : After leaving slips Merlin led, but tbe hare doubling short round for the bog, much favoured Black Coat; however, Merlin went round the Scotch dog, and giving a good go- by, turned, and led to cover. Careless and Rebe: Rebe shot ahead, quickly gaining a lead of six lengths, bringing the hare round twice, when Careless got in, but Rebe immediately drew past, and again put the hare to her opponent, who then closely worked her game for four or five points in succession. Rebe then again resolutely went to • work and won afterwards very decisively, the hare escaping in the gorse cover. Hopbine and Fred were slipped twice; in both in- stances they became unsighted. In their third attempt Hopbine exhibited far more speed from slips, but upon reaching the hare she began to run very slack, allowing Fred to take the hare and work it through to cover, Hopbine running some twelve lengths behind, and scientifically looking on. The Gunner and Reform Bill: The former led and got first possession of the hare, but after wrenching twice, Reform Bill drew past, and scored the three following points. The Gunner again going to the front with a good go- by, won afterwards decisively. Spencer and Delapre;: After an undecided, Spencer led from slips, but was passed before reaching the hare by Delapre. who gained the first turn, but turning fearfullywide, an example which Spencerfollowed when in, neither exhibiting any cleverness throughout a dodging course. After this courseasevere storm set in, which, however, fortu- nately only lasted a short time. Reetop slightly led Barney Williams until the hare ran in favour of the latter, who got first up and wrenched to cover. Debutante and Lady Norah : Imme- diately after leaving slips Lady Norah showed in advance, reach- ing the hare six lengths before Debutante ; when rising the hill - out of the hollow Lady Norah slightly tripped, which gave the lead to her opponent; they then went out of my sight, but the course almost immediately ended in favour of Lady Norah. Storekeeper and Lady: The latter showed in front from slips until the hare slightly bore round in favour of Storekeeper, who, getting well in the line of his game, drove it very cleverly across a large pasture field through the gateway, after which Pussy got her head for home to the bog, into which she galloped, neither greyhound being again able to bring her round. Sea Pink and Heather Belle: Shortly after leaving slips Sea Pink made an opening of a dozen lengths between her and her opponent, bring- ing the hare well round, and serving herself; and, again leading several lengths, she then put in Heather Belle, the hare after- wards running much in favour of the latter, who wrenched twice and killed. On being taken up Sea Pink was found to have badly sprung several of her claws whilst crossing a stony piece of ground. Romping Girl and Cionola : The latter got three lengths best from slips.' but they had notproceeded far before Romping Girl shot past, gaining the first turn by four lengths, bringing the hare well round to Cionola, who attempted to kill, but merely tripped the hare, which Romping Girl instantly killed. Mr Mather's nomination being absent, Whipper ran a long bye. Broadcloth and Glendhu The former led a couple of lengths, until the hare bore much in favour of Glendhu; however, Broadcloth on the outer circle kept his forward position, bringing his game well round, but after- wards could not get well placed, the hare running circuitously, and Glendhu possessing the best working abilities, won with some to spare. An exciting spin now followed between Sea Foam and Reliance ; the betting was even. Reliance being much fancied by her Irish admirers. After leaving slips Reliance showed slightly in front, reaching the hare between two and three lengths in ad- vance of Bea Foam, who was afterwards outworked for several points, until he saw an opening, and shot up inside, wrenched, and killed, quite destroying his own chance. On being taken up, he, like his kennel companion, Sea Pink, was found to have cut himself in all four feet, having been slipped on a stony piece of ground, which fully accounted for his not exhibiting that fiery determination which I had seen him previously display.— First ties: Lady Agnes and Klarikoff' had not proceeded far be- fore the crowd caused the hare to bend slightly in favour of Kla- rikoff, who was going in very determined style, and, being very clever with his teeth, ne picked up his hare. The trial, however, was but au indifferent one for Lord Lurgan's bitch. Wee Nell and Merlin : The latter led two lengths, gaining the first turn, when they exchanged a couple of turns each, anc. Merlin, going on, wrenched two or three times, when Wee Nell shot past inside and killed, with the balance but little against her. Rebe showed very superior pace immediately on leaving slips, quickly leaving Fred several lengths, turned, and again led ito a gorse fence, where she got disappointed, which let in Fred, • who was very merry with his hare in the next field, until Rebe again took it from him, driving her game cleverly across a piece of heavy fallow into a grass field beyond, where she cleverly brought down her hare without any assistance. The Gunner led from slips, but was passed before reaching the hare by Delapre, • who gained the first turn, but afterwards ran slack, and got well defeated by the more resolute and determined running of his opponent. Barney Williams and Lady Norah: Old Barney went off with the fire of a puppy, leading to the fence, where he brought the hare baek, followed up with seme clever wrenching, not leaving his game until he suc- ceeded in killing. We BOW moved from Woedtown ( where, how- ever, we might have run off the card) to tbe park, near Manfields- town, and a good hare was found for the trial between Sea Pink and Store Keeper. The latter got best from slips, but Sea Pink drew up, and cannoned against her opponent, gaining the first turn by two lengths, serving herself, a_ id wrenching three or four times, when Storekeeper drew past ot the inside, but was again quickly deprived of the lead by Sea Pink returning the go- by, and afterwards keeping possession of th « fcare to the planta- tion. Although several hares stole away, we could not find another in the park, and made a second move to Bragganstown^ beating the Red Bog, which is a low marshy piece of ground, covered with rushes ana red heather. A rattling hare was driven on to a fine newly laid down pasture of upwards of 150 acres, to which Romping Girl and Whipper were slipped. The former, leading to her game three lengths, and across the entire piece, kept selfish possession of the hare, closely and cle- verly driving Pussy to a clump of 6rs some distance beyond, thus beating Whipper ( who ran game throughout) in the most hollow style. Reliance and Glendhu were slipped to a hare which was driven, after some difficulty, from the Black Bog across the road on to the same pasture as the last course. Reliance took a strong lead of eight lengths, gaining the two first turns, Glendhu scoring the following one, when Reliance again led, but slightly tripping, Glendhu went on, driving the hare into the bog, up to where he had balanced the points, but in attempting to kill fell heavily on his chest, and did not join in the course afterwards, Reliance driving the hare across the road, where she brought her round three or four times, and killed. Although the hares were very numerous, we found it impossible to drive them on to ground where good trials could be secured, and evening fast drawing on, it was, therefore, thought advisable by the stewards not to commence the Maiden Plate. Upwards of thirty attended at the dinner party, Mr M'Alister again presiding, after which the card was read over, and some betting ensued. Thursday morning was delightfully fine, a very agreeable day for the sport following. We met at Rossnaree, beginning the day's sport, by the kind permission of Mr C. A. Osbourne, on some fine meadows near the banks of the river Boyne, with the Maiden Plate. Kiteflyer and Welcome Guest had an undecided ; next time Welcome Guest, getting best from slips, led two lengths, but Kiteflyer raced past and finished a short course with a clever kill. Redress led Sprig ( who would not try), and gained first turn, letting in the latter; Redress then gave a clear go- bye, finish- ing another short trial with a good kill. Escape and Winlove ran a short undecided, after which Escape was the faster throughout to the fence, where the hare blinked them. Sea Storm and Black Tommy were slipped to a hare beaten from the side of the river Boyne; in the run up Sea Storm fell a purler, quite taking the running out of her, and giving a strong lead to Black Tommy, the latter winning very decisively. Brightness and Lady Erith : The latter, a little unsighted from slips, was led three lengths, but in a fine race up Lady Erith drew past, and led, turned, served herself, and followed up with some driving work until she killed meritoriously. In a give and take course, Echo gained the fiat over Jail Bird. Diana and Sir Bernard had a near race up, just gained by the latter, but after the first turn Diana outworked the dog, finishing with a clever kill. Rarebit outpaced Walter Scott to the fence, where the hare unsighted them.— First ties: Kiteflyer and Redress: The former led five lengths, bringing the hare round twice, when Redress got in for next point ; Kiteflyer then led out of sight. Escape was four lengths faster than Black Tommy, but, after the first turn, ran wide, and was near being outcounted by his opponent. Lady Edith led ten to eighteen lengths, beating Elclio very cleverly, and in a good trial Diana beat Rarebit at all points, the latter going very indif- ferently.— The Grand National Champion Stakes ( second ties): Klarikoff and Merlin: The former was unsighted for some distance, but when sighted he drew away from Merlin ; the hare favouring the latter, gave her first turn, Klarikoff taking the fol- lowing one. and Merlin the next two ; Klarikoff then drew past on the inside, and looked much like winning, but putting the hare again to Merlin, the latter gained the fiat, with but a trifle to spare. Rebe and The Gunner: Rebe, after leaving slips, quickly led four lengths, turned, and fell heavily. The Gunner then joined in, and led out of sight. Barney Williams and Sea Pink ran an undecided ; in their next trial Sea Pink drew to the front, and turned, when Barney overshot himself, by which Sea Pink took the next turn, Barney the following one, when Sea Pink again took the hare from the inside, drove her through the gateway, and killed. Romping Girl and Reliance ran a short undecided. Next time Reliance led two lengths, when, after crossing a small ditch, and the hare going perfectly straight, Romping Girl shot past, and Pussy instantly bearing in favour of the latter, was killed by the Herefordshire bitch.— Maiden Plate ( second ties) : Kiteflyer and Escape: The former led, turned, served herself, wrenched, and killed, winning very handsomely. Lady Edith and Diana ran an undecided ; in their final trial, Diana showed most speed, but the hare much favouring Lady Edith, she got well placed. When well together, Diana exhibited her superior pace, and won cleverly.— The Grand National Stake ( third ties) : Rebe and Merlin ran two undecideds, after which Rebe, very lame, slightly led, but the hare bearing in favour of Merlin, gave her first possession, and the latter being very clever, won a short eourse without again letting her opponent in. Sea Pink and Romping Girl: The latter led three lengths. Sea Pink wrenched, and killed ; undecided. They were afterwards badly slipped. At the time they were let go the hare was coming direct round to Bea Pink, by which she got a lead of upwards of ten lengths; when she brought the hare round, Romping Girl got well placed, scoring the three following points ; she then put the hare to Sea Pink, but again instantly took it from her, and drove it towards the foot people, again scoring several strong points. Sea Pink then took a prominent position, and drove the hare into the crowd, where they ultimately killed. I was much surprised when I heard the decision given in favour of Sea Pink, her owner being equally so ; the latter points made in the crowd were without any merit to either. Mr Westrop, however, rode close up with his dogs, and must have seen more than did, although I was in a good position. Sea Pink Mr D.

Thus closed this very successful meeting. The principal part of this day's sport was run ever the Fennor estate, by the kind and liberal permission of the Marquis of Conyngham, who has entered very enthusiastically into the sport, and will, undoubtedly, prove a great acquisition to the coursing world in Ireland. The company present during the day was very nu- merous, and the great number of the fair sex present added much to the beauty of the scene. We also noticed many of the nobility of the North of Ireland, including the Marquis of Conyngham, Lord Mayo, Lord Lurgan, Lord F. Conyngham, Lady Lambert, Lady Somerville, Mr C. A. Osbourne and lady, Mr Gal way, Major Smith, Messrs Coddington, senandjun, & c, & c. The greyhounds engaged at the meeting are of a more superior class than those of former gatherings. Rebe, Romping Girl, Sea Foam, Sea Pink, Klarikoff, Kittflyer, and Diana of the English, and of the Irish, Lady Edith, Reliance, Merlin, and the veteran Barney Williams. Mr Spinks's clever bitch, Sea Girl, also came over to contend for the Grand National, but on her arrival here she went off and continued amiss during the meeting. Sea Foam severely injured himself in his course with Reliance, so much so that Mr Spinks has sent him to the stud. Rebe also commenced the meeting a cripple, having lacerated one of her toes before to leaving Herefordshire. Romping Girl ran as fiery as ever. The Spinks Cup is a beautifully chased tankard, appropriately mounted by a brace of gracefully modelled greyhounds in slips, and was manufactured by Messrs Elkington, of Church- street, Liverpool. Mr Ralph Westrop has given great satisfaction in his official ca- pacity. He has a thorough knowledge of coursing, and is an expert horseman. Throughout the meeting his decisions gave general satisfaction, with the exception of the one between Romping Girl and Sea Pink, which was the only course I could not agree with him in. Springall, the slipper ( who was formerly a pupil of Raper's, and slips much in his style) has become a public favourite in Ireland, where he has been located during the past season. The field stewards were untiring in their exertions to preserve order, more especially Mr H. Walker; and in con- clusion I have to thank Messrs M'Alister, Callan, and other members of the County Louth Club for the courtesy shown, and the kind assistance rendered me, on my first visit to an Irish coursing meeting.

Mr Hugh's bk w His Honour, by His Grace out of Her Ladyship, beat Mr Bruce's bk b Better Times, by Regan out of Bonnie Laddie Amicable Stakes: Penelope, after an undecided, quite out- paced Antelope. Saucy Boy, who also had an undecided with Bull and Mouth, subsequently showed pace to the hare, and had rather the best of " the exchange of work, and the kill. Garland, favoured by the hare bending to her, scored the first and second turns, after which the judge con- sidered the balance of work in favour of Stitch; it was a very near course. Coming Day quite outpaced Strathmore.— First ties : Penelope took a strong lead with Saucy Boy, turned, wrenched, • and killed. Coming Day scored the first turn with Stitch, and was afterwards outworked.— Deciding course: Penelope out- paced Stitch in a short course, finishing with a kill.— Headley Stakes : Somersault, in a short spin, proved too speedy for Attrac- tion. Patty, on the inside ground, got the first turn with Hydra, and the balance of work was in her favour. Bubble and Squeak, on inside ground, led Glimpse at Glory; the latter took second turn, when they went through some trees, and I lost sight of them. I understood it was a very near thing. Hoopooe, after running three times undecided with Cotillon, proved just the most speedy in a short course.— First ties: Somer- sault led Patty, and gained the early points, which the latter had equalised, when Somersault scored a point or two, and won. Bubble and Squeak led Hoopooe to cover with a hare they could not turn, after which the stake was divided.— Palace Stakes: After an undecided with Lily of Killarney and Supple, the former led to the hare, and had the best of a short course. Cecilia had too much speed for Attila, and won a good course decisively, finish- ing with a straight kill.— Deciding course: Lily of Killarney led from the slips, but the hare bending to Cecilia gave her the run up, and she had just the best of the work.— Park Stakes : Happy Heart in a short spin outpaced Hesper. Breach of Promise easily defeated Aurora.— Deciding course : Breach of Promise had far too much speed for Happy Heart.— Ailesbury Stakes: Shadow ran away altogether from Carnation. Baron Mar- tin and Galantuomo had a fine struggle for the first turn, which was just gained by the former on inside ground; they exchanged points pretty evenly in the middle, but the Baron had the best of the finish, and won rather cleverly. Deciding course: Baron Martin, favoured by position, got the run up, after which Shadow showed most pace, and finished with a kill.— Bushy Stakes: Hastings got the run up with Kettledrum, after which the latter had it all to himself. Bright Chanticleer outpaced Sunset.— Deciding course : Kettledrum got the first turn with Bright Chanticleer, and the latter killed.— The Sapling Stakes were run off at trapped hares, many of which ran very well, and most of the trials were satisfactory. The decisions on all ad- mitted of no dispute. The winners in the dog stakes all give hope of doing something good; perhaps His Highness and the one by David out of Alboni may be the pick. Of the bitches I incline most to Mr Long's beautiful daughter of Cantab and Lur- line. Gang Fast Awa' and Mr Storey's fawn and white, by Tem- pest, also go in good form. Of those which divide& I like Peep o' Day and Happy Dream best. His Honour showed decided su- periority in his match with Better Times, as the David out of Al- boni did with Mr Loder's by David out of a bitch by Czar. REMARKS.— The closing meeting of the Amicable Club for this season came off in Bushy Park, the head- quarters being at Mrs Lawrence's, the Red Lion, Hampton Wick. The members met there on the evening of the I6th, where the draw took place. A party of ten dined, Mr Saxton ( president of the club) in the chair, faced by the hon sec, Mr Cain. On the 17th we met in Bushy Park at eleven. Hares were scarce, and a little after two only twelve courses were decided. We then went into what I believe are called the Stable Paddocks, where hares were more plenti- ful, and afforded some good trials. After which we com- menced the Sapling Stakes with the trapped hares, and the latter part of the day went well. The weather was all we could desire, and the number of visitors and members of the club large. Among them I observed the Hon Mr and Lady Evelyn Bruce, Sir Edward Baker, Bart; T. M. Goodlake, Esq; Henry Brougham, Esq; Lieut- Col Bathurst, M. P.; Lieut- Col Goodlake, V. C.; Capt Hanly, and Messrs Saxton, Cain, Bland, & c, & c. Mr Warwick gave every satisfaction. Nash on the whole did the slipping well; Mr Rice, with his usual ability, carried the flags. A COURSER. CRAWFORD AND CRAWF0RBJ0HN ( N. B.) MEETING, MARCH 17. ( By the kind permission of Sir E.

THE PUCKERIDGE. PRESENTATION OF THE TESTIMONIAL PICTURE TO MR NICHOLAS PARRY, THE MA8TER. After hunting the Puckeridge country for now nearly five- and- twenty seasons, with still increasing respect and repute as a Master of Hounds, the many friends of Mr Parry felt it was time to offer him some substantial recognition of their regard. In our opening article during last autumn on hunt changes and pro- mises of sport, we told how the Squire received this kindly intimation. What he himself fancied would have been the purchase of a bit of land to be planted as a cover, and called " Parry's Gorse." Upon inquiry, however, no such suitable spot was to be found, and Messrs Taylor, Thurnail, and Jardine eventually reported that " this was not to be done." It was then decided that Mr Parry's portrait should be painted, and that Mr Francis Grant, the Royal Academician, as an old friend of the Master, was the man of all others to do him justice. Indeed, this famous artist had already tried his hand, not merely over their country, where he has always gone a good one, but also on a picture of old John Chapman, the Hertfordshire yeoman, a work thrt now adorns the Squire's dining- room. The Meet of the Puckeridge, including, of course, a number of portraits, had pre- viously been done justice to by a local brother of the brush, while John Leech gained many of his happiest inspirations during his novitiate with Mr Parry. That second horseman, for instance, topping the gate " like a bird" in the series of oil paintings recently on exhibition in Piccadilly, is generally credited to be after old Brewer, who we are sorry to say from declining health has not been able to follow on the Squire so regularly during the present season; and we missed him much at Hockrill on the Wednesday morning. Still the R. A. picture, as we stated some months « nce, is confined to the portrait of Mr Parry, on his favourite mare Blackberry, with Alfred Hodges, in the distance, bringing up the hounds to his Master's signal. The seat and style of this renowned M. F. H., down to the cut and fit of his coat, are very faithfully preserved, and, as a bit of animal painting, it is rarely that th> e likeness and character of the black mare have been sur- passed. The figure and attitude of Hedges, giving a blast of his hOTn to get them together are equally good;. and there is e deal jjf nice iirt in the way in whieh^ ultaa aadjE ulIiver are distin- guished amongst the leading hounds. The portrait of Mr Parry himself is not altogether so successful. In place of his steady, business- like look, his features are brushed up into something very near upon a smirk, the consequence, possibly, of having just viewed his fox. But the picture scarcely tells out this part of the story, and the effect, so far as the chief figure is concerned, is rather tame and unsatisfactory. However, through the agency of Mr Graves, of Pall- mall, Herts and Essex will be sown broadcast with prints and proofs; and as the painting will be prominent in the ensuing exhibition of the Royal Academy, all the world and his wife will soon have an opportunity of judging for themselves. Those more directly interested in the matter assembled at Bishop Stortford on Tuesday, March 17, where the dinner, ap- propriately enough in a town so prominent for its barley trade, was laid out in one of the malting shops of Mr Fairman. The portrait, carefully veiled until the happy moment, was the promi- nent ornament of one side of the room, while vis a vis with this was the spread- eagle skin of a foreign fox, that, as Mr C. Phelips would say, had been " unkindly treated" in his lifetime, though adorned as he was in death with the brushes of his brethren brist- ling about him at every point of the compass. It was really a very formidable bit of emblematic illustration, and Mr Sloman and the other London singers seemed to sit under its honoured shade in some fear and trembling. Every other seat was filled, and we should say that over a hundred and eighty sat down to a cold collation, supplied by Staples, of the Albion, but by no means so commendable for the fare as for some very drinkable wine, after all the strong point of such an occasion. Mr Archer Houblon, of Hallingbury Place, presided, a country gentleman in the im mediate neighbourhood, who, though no longer to be found in the field himself, sets an admirable example as a staunch preserver of foxes. Mr Parry, of course, was on his right, and the two ad- joining masters, Lord Dacre and Mr Charles Barnett, were also handy. Amongst others in high places were Lord Braybrooke, another good friend to the foxes, if no sportsman himself ; Mr Abel Smith, one of the county members; Mr Deime Radcliffe, great in the Noble Science; Mr Reid, Mr C. Phelips, Mr Crawley, whose little pack of harriers we found at the Corner the other day; and Captain Gosling, who is training on. Mr Biggs and Mr Spencer, two Hertfordshire yeomen, and capital samples of their order, were the vice- chairmen, and the room was full of sporting farmers and agricultural authorities like Mr Sam. Jonas, Mr John Clay den, Mr Thurnall, Mr Odams, and others, whose names are not so well known to us as their faces. " The swells," of course, were in scarlet, the Dacre men facing the red rag with a white waistcoat. After the other loyal toasts had been becomingly honoured, there was naturally another cheer for the Hertfordshire Light Horse, that looked so well in Hyde Park last week; and then the cheering, and tallying, and who- whooping began, and went on, and broke out again and again as Mr Houblon proceeded to the presentation of the pic- ture. In doing so he spoke to Mr Parry's rank as one of the highest authorities on hunting that we have; to his honourable conduct and high principle, and to his having been their popular Master for nearly five- and- twenty years. In responding, Mr Parry, as was expected, did not make a long speech. He con- fessed at once to the drawbacks of the Puckeridge, as not the best of scenting countries, and with but little grass, or those flying fences that tell so much in other districts. But if it had its natural defects, there was no other country where the inhabitants were so universally attached to hunting ; and he attributed his having been able to go on so well as he had done to two things— the preservation of foxes, and the walking of forty or fifty couple of hounds, which enabled him to cope with those wild foxes he found. Saving the loss of many old friends, he had no cause to regret having devoted his life to hunting, and to learning the science of hunting. Mr Delme Radcliffe then mounted a chair to deliver the oration of the evening. His toast was " The Members for the counties of Herts and Essex," but having given the name of Mr Abel Smith ( who responded), and having paid a special compli- ment to Sir Bulwer Lytton as a preserver of foxes, Mr Radcliff'e returned to their honoured guest of the occasion, who afforded, as the speaker said, a great illustration of an honest devotion to fox hunting not being incompatible with the other duties of a country gentleman. Mr Parry had graduated well at the univer- sity, and possessed abilities which would give weight to any sub- ject he undertook, but he had devoted himself to the science of fox hunting, and the people of after ages who would pass bj', unheeding the statues of Napoleon, Peel, and Palmerston, would pause with reverence before that picture! Mr Delme here reached his climax, amidst a roar of cheers and laughter, and Mr C. Phelips went on to give " The Owners of Covers within the Hunt." In doing so he said there was no other country so famous for the produc- tion of good wild foxes if they were only suffered to live and die in the legitimate way. But some of their covers were too often drawn blank, simply from gentlemen giving improper orders to their subordinates. " Ben," a man would say, " we must have a few foxes for the hounds when they come here ;" but still Ben went on trapping and destroying, thinking his master was not in earnest about it, as, very probably, he was not. A fox should never be unkindly treated, and where there was a suspicion of this being the case swift and sure retribution would follow. The chairman, in responding for himself and his " noble forest," maintained that it was possible to have foxes with a fair show of pheasants, while he knew of nothing that gave a greater zest to a day's shooting than a fox breaking away as they were beating. Mr Parry next proposed " The Neighbouring Masters of Hounds," admitting that Lord Dacre had beaten them all this season in the way of sport; and he subsequently gave " The Farmers of his own Hunt.'- If it were not for them, he did not quite understand how fox hunting could go on, what with the improved state of agriculture, which had rather tended to thin the breed of wild foxes; but many of the farmers of his Hunt lived where their fathers and grandfathers had lived before them, and where foxes were still bred in the same earths, with almost as much care as the children of the family. He attributed the very few changes which had occurred in the management of the Puckeridge during the last century or so to the unceasing interest taken in the Hunt by the farmers. Mr Biggs and Mr Spencer responded, the latter emphatically protesting against the scarcity of foxes on one side of their country. It was, in fact, very manifest during the evening that certain offenders may shortly be a little more decisively shown up for their evil doings in this way. There were a num- ber of other toasts, connected with the town and country, Bishop Stortford being distinguished as the home of the man who had sold Blackberry to the Squire; while Mr Radcliffe recited some lines of his own anent one Mr Parry, that terrible man for " hunt- ing the fox;" and Mr Nockolds gave a capital imitation of Simp- son finding and killing him. The peculiar twang and knowing vernacular of their old huntsman were very keenly relished, heightened, as the effect of this was, by his being " amongst the company present." There was quite a show meet at Hockrill, a hamlet off Stort- ford, on the following morning, when a field of nearly two hun- dred were awaiting the Squire as he rode into the paddock on Blackberry. They met him again with such a cheer that the hounds at first could not make it out, but evidently fancied they had a fox ready found for them. As far as we had an opportu- nity of looking them over, they were a very workmanlike lot of mixed dogs and bitches, with immense bone, good size, and hand- somely marked. They showed, however, unmistakable signs of the regular work they have had this season, with, as we believe, only one appointment since November, when they did not hunt. Neither of Mr Grant's favourites, Sultan and Gulliver, was out, but they have been used as stallion hounds, and one or two of their descendants were shown to us. It would take a bold man to criticise hounds bred with so much attention and science as Mr Parry's, but there were two or three couple we could have drafted as a little more throaty than we should care to keep them. Mr Barnett was busy amongst them afoot till we bid him good day, and went on to try " the Forest'' at Hallingbury, where, drawing away from a vixen, there was nothing better than loung- ing about the pleasant rides on a delightful " May" morning, re- creation that alone went far to clear away the cobwebs of the previous evening's debate. Show days, however, rarely finish with much sport, and, despite the rumour of a fox about, there were no signs of him here. The hounds subsequently drew Bassingham, Bushanger, Horse End, and Stadham Park, but without finding; and the " morning after" so memorable an evening ended in a blank. Something of a commentary this on the yester eve discussion. DINNER TO LORD HASTINGS, THE MASTER OF THE EAST NORFOLK FOXHOUNDS. On Wednesday evening, March 18, about one hundred and fifty of the members of the East Norfolk Hunt assembled at a banquet given to Lord Hastings, as the master of the foxhounds, at the Feathers Hotel, Holt. The dinner was intended as the finish of the first season, and a very successful one, of the noble lord's mastership. Mr Albemarle Cator presided, and was supported by Lord Hastings, the Hon and Rev D. L. Astley, Capt Chiches- ter, Capt Astley, Capt Hay Gurney, Mr F. Astley, Capt Adling- ton, Sir Henry Robinson, Col Astley, Capt Brereton, Rev G. J. Girdlestone, Rev T. J. Brewster, & c.— On the cloth being drawn, " The Queen" was given with all the honours. After which, the Chairman proposed " The Health of the Prince and Princess of Wales [ loud cheers].'' He hoped that fox hunting might receive great encouragement in Norfolk, from the fact that the Prince of Wales had honoured that county by selecting it for his country and sporting residence, and had participated in the hunting of that county. He trusted that many who had been inimical to the sport might, since it was patronised by royalty, preserve foxes and give up trapping [ hear, hear, and cheers].—" The Army, Navy, Militia, and Volunteers," having been duly honoured, the Chair- man read letters from Sir Willoughby Jones, Sir B. Gurdon, M. P.; Mr W. R. Freeman ( a tenant of about 6.000 acres in Norfolk), and from Mr J. G. Scott Chad, the High Sheriff of the county, expressive of their regret at not being able to be present, wishing Lord Hastings every success, and offering to preserve foxes for him, or to assist him by any means in their power.— The Chairman then proposed the toast of the evening, " The Health of Lord Hastings," which was received with the greatest enthusiasm. The noble lord was entitled to some return, for he had not only shown them sport, but also kindness in the field. They did not always experience such kindness, for masters of hounds were exposed to very great provocations. He had also shown them the greatest hospitality at Melton Constable, by throwing open his stables to everybody who liked to join the hunt. Personally, he owed much to the noble lord, whose hunting had made him ( the chairman) ten years younger. Not only on that immediate neighbourhood, but on the county at large, Lord Hastings had conferred a great favour and a benefit by keeping that pack of hounds [ cheers]. He begged to propose " Lord Hastings and Fox Hunting [ cheers]."— Lord Hastings returned thanks, and entered at great length into the history of fox hunting in Norfolk in general, and his own district in particular. He thanked the nobility and gentry of the country for having joined him in the hunting field, and encouraged him by their presence, and the yeo- manry of the country for their excellent preservation of foxes. He added that he sheuld be most proud to see all their happy faces to breakfast at Melton Constable on Nov 1 next. The noble lord afterwards proposed " The Health of Mr Villebois, the Mas- ter of the West Norfolk Hounds," who had written to wish him every success, long life, plenty of sport, and health to enjoy it.— Captain Adlington responded on behalf of the Master of the W. N. H.— The Vice- Chairman proposed " The Health of the Hon Delaval Loftus Astley, brother to Lord Hastings, and the mem- bers of the house of Melton Constable.''— The Hon D. L. Astley returned thanks, and said that it was well- known that the history of Melton Constable had always been connected with the history of fox hunting in Norfolk, and he hoped that would always be the case [ cheers]. He was under a great obligation to the noble lord, who always gave him a ipount, and he should only be too glad to ride his lordship's horses next season.— A number of other toasts were given, and the proceedings were brought to an appro- Sriate termination with " The Ladies," coupled with the name of ady Hastings, on behalf of whom the noble lord responded. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BELL'S LIFE OFFICE, Saturday Night, 12 o'clock. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. PABIS, MAKCH 21.— Despatches received at the Russian Em- bassy here confirm the news of the defeat of Langiewicz, who has been conveyed to Tarnow. The insurgents lost 400 killed and 54 taken prisoners. CRACOW, MABCH 20 ( EVENING).— The following are the details of the battle fought between the Russians and the insurgents, commanded by General Langiewicz. The battle commenced on the 18th instant, near Zagoscie. The cavalry and waggons of the insurgents were dispersed after a desperate fight. Langiewicz: and his staff disappeared from the field during the engagement, which continued till dark. The scythemen and chasseurs, after holding their ground to the last moment under a heavy fire, with- drew on the 19th inst. to Vislitza. Langiewicz and his friends crossed the Vistula in a small vessel, and gave themselves up to the Austrian hussars, who conducted them to Tarnow. The in. surgents are rallying at Vislitza, and are provisionally under the command of Colonel Smechowski. FRANCE. PAEIS, MARCH 21.— The trial of MM Calzado and Garcia, for cheating at cards, took place yesterday before the Tribunal of Correctional Police. Calzado was sentenced to thirteen months* and Garcia to five years' imprisonment. The Constitutionnel of this morning contains an article on the Polish insurrection, signed by its chief editor, M Limayrac, who says therein:—" If the defeat of the insurrection be confirmed, fortune will offer a noble part to the Emperor of Russia. It is amnesty which completes such victories, and the world would applaud the Czar, if, after having subdued the insurrection by force, he disarmed it by magnanimity." CITY— SATURDA5T EVENING. The Funds to- day remained without any alteration, Consols having closed at 92| j tor money, and 92J f for the account. In the Foreign Market prices were, in some instances, a shade firmer. Old Turkish Six per Cents closed at 90 to 91, the Loan ol 1858 at ,67^ to 68, the Loan of 1862 at 69 to 69 § , and the Consolides improved to 44| 44f. Greek Bonds improved to 21f Railway, Joint Stock Bank, and Miscellaneous shares remained inactive, and were generally at slightly reduced quotations. MUTINY AND SACRIFICE OF LIFE AT BLACKWALL- A most lamentable event, attended with loss of life, took place on Thursday night, or early on Friday morning, on board the Venus, hulk, lying in the river off Blackwall. For some time past the Peruvian war corvette, Arica, has been in the West India Dock fitting out, and whilst undergoing the process our Govern- ment have granted the use of the Venus hulk as quarters for her crew, amounting to about 160 men, of whom some ninety are soldiers, and the rest sailors. They were under the command of Captain Gaspar Ecurria. On Thursday the soldiers were allowed to go on shore, and returned late at night— many very intoxi- cated— and made attempts to bring liquor on board. This was resisted by the officers, and as the soldiers refused to obey orders, the sailors were called upon to enforce them, bysecuring the most- disorderly and clearing the decks. The sailors were armed with muskets and bayonets, and the soldiers seized upon every avail- able weapon. A frightful melee took place, and ultimately the soldiers were got to the deck below and the hatches fastened down. It is alleged that the soldiers broke open the spirit stores, and, having become still more mad with drink, forced up the hatches, and a renewed and frightful contest then took place. One of the young officers, Ensign Francisco Vidal, was either thrown or jumped overboard, and perished. A young midshipman, who was ill, supposed to have died from fright at the scene around him, was found dead in his cabin. After the mutiny was quelled two soldiers were found dead on the deck with bayonet wounds, and one with his head beaten in, and two or three others so fearfully wounded that their lives are despaired of. Dur- ing Friday and yesterday, as soon as the news of the terrible affray became known on shore, great excitement prevailed throughout Blackwall and Poplar, in consequence of which ifc was not deemed advisable to remove the bodies of those killed till Friday night, when they were brought on shore in boats, and conveyed to the Poplar dead house to await an inquest. A num- ber of the supposed ringleaders in the affray have been placed in double irons, and yesterday an inquiry was instituted by the Peruvian Minister and Consul, as well as by the authorities of the Thames police, with a view of arriving at some satisfactory solu- tion of the causes of the outbreak, which are rumoured to have resulted from some previous grievances on the part of the soldiers against their officers. Mr Humphreys, the district coroner, has been informed of the event, but, in anticipation of some two or three more deaths, he is not likely to open the inquest before to- morrow ( Monday) or Tuesday. THE CHAMPION OF THE FEATHER WEIGHTS. To- day, at the Thames police court, Charles Lynch, landlord of the New York Clipper, a small public- house at the corner of Church- lane, Whitecliapel, was summoned for unlawfully detain- ing £ 5 belonging to a seaman, named John Williams. The de. fendant was the well- known pugilist Champion of the Light Weights. The plaintiff came home about three weeks ago, and went to lodge with a man named Crawley, who took him to the defendant's house. The defendant advised him not to stay at Crawley's, where he would be robbed, and induced him to take up his quarters at the New York Clipper. The complainant re- ceived £ 16 for wages, and deposited £ 5 with Lynch, and had since been unable to recover the amount. All he owed was 10s., and he could get no account from the defendant, but he was charged for three weeks' board and lodging, when, in fact, he did not have his meals at the house. Mr Selfe said it was evidently an imposi- tion, and he ordered the defendant to return £ 3 5s to the sailor, to pay £ 1 Is to the complainant's solicitor for attending, and also- fine of Is. If that order were not at once complied with, he would be imprisoned for one month, with hard labour. DESERTION AND STARVATION BY A FATHER. To- day, at Marylebone, George Cook, coach painter, No. 7 Conduit- court, Lisson- grove was charged with deserting his three children, and allowing them to starve. The case was taken up by the parish at the instigation of the neighbours, who had gone into the back kitchen where the defendant kept the children^ and found them in the most pitiful state of dirt, misery, and, starvation. They had been in the habit of going out at dusk to- pick up any green garbage or refuse they could find upon the dust- heaps, to preserve them from starvation. The father was in receipt of 4s 6d a day. When he first took them to the room in which they were found, he lived with them every day; after that he came to them only twice a week, and then he deserted them altogether. There was no furniture whatever in the room, and the children, who were quite naked and huddled together for warmth, were unable to stand or walk from weakness, and had to be taken in a cab to the workhouse. Their ages were ten, eight> and seven years. Sentence— Three months' hard labour. CONCEALING THE BIRTH OF A CHILD. To- day, at Lambeth, Elizabeth Ann Law, aged 19, was charged with concealing the birth of her female illegitimate child.— The prisoner was in the service of a lady at Camberwell, and one morning she called for her mistress and said it was impossible for her to get out of bed. Her mistress then suspected what was the matter, and taxed her with having had a child, which she ad- mitted, and, producing a bundle containing a dead infant, said that she did not expect to be confined till a month later.— Com- mitted for trial. HUNT CHANGES. Ben Goddard, who was last with Mr Drake, in Oxfordshire, has entered into an engagement to hunt the Burton country, under Lord Henry Bentinck. Goddard goes for a term at a high salary. George Shepherd, the first whip, has been doing very well with these hounds since George Beers left them, after a few weeks' service. Beers subsequently went to the aid of Mr Coxe and the Craven, in consequence of Morris' severe accident, but John Press, from the Cambridgeshire, will hunt the Craven next season, with Will Brice, from the Old Berkshire, as his head whip. Harry Ayris, the younger, goes from the Milton, where he has had one year of it as first whip, to hunt the Cambridgeshire for Mr Barnett. It is pretty well settled that the Essex will be in the care of the committee, at the head of whom will be Sir H. Bowyer Smijth, Mr Perry Watlington, and Mr Tufnell, with Mr Arkwright, jun, as secretary to the Hunt. Robert Childs, who has hunted the East Sussex Foxhounds for the last ten seasons, leaves at the close of this, when he will be open to an engagement. Mr Curteis has not yet appointed his successor. Fisher goes from the Hampshire, and Mr Deacon of Ripley, near Alresford, would treat with any one up to the place. Mark Robinson, after nine seasons as whip to the Morpeth, is now engaged to hunt them. John Harrison will leave the Bedale, and is on the look out for another berth as huntsman to a pack of foxhounds. A number of hunting runs unavoidably stand over until next week. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT- FRIDAY. In the Lords no business of importance was transacted. In the House of Commons Mr BAXTER moved a resolution to the effect that the house was not prepared to grant a sum of money to the Atlantic Royal Mail Company, for conveying the mails between Galway and North America.'— Mr HOE& FALL se- conded the motion.— Mr GEE GOBY hoped that after the decision that would be come to that night on this question, the hon mem- ber would let the Galway Company rest in peace.— After a good deal of discussion the resolution was . rejected by 109 to 46, and tits house soon afterwards adjourned.
