A slashing race then ensued between Donovan Brown and Birthday, the last three jumps being cleared in company, but Birthday making a bungle of the last, he was beaten at the finish by three lengths, Chance third. A protest was handed in against Donovan Brown for jostling, and against Birthday for going outside a flag, and Chance was accordingly hailed the winner, the first and second being declared distanced. He was bought in for 41 sovs. The GEELONG and WESTERN HUNT CLUB STEEPLECHASE, for a cup valued at 100 sovs; entrance 5 sovs ; ridden by duly quali- fied members of the Geelong Hunt Mr Faris's b g Norman, aged, 12st 101b Mr G.

Daniel Webster made play from the jump, closely pressed by Timekeeper. Apelles, Kinchin, and Young Hector; in fact, for the first four leaps the whole field kept so well together, that no horse had a lead for many strides, whilst all had it in turn. The turf wall, which was the fourth jump, stopped the course, however, of Timekeeper, whilst Jack up the Or- chard came to grief soon after. Before a mile had been dis- posed of, nothing was left with a chance, except Norman, Daniel Webster, Young Hector, and Kangaroo, and these four continued to travel along in the order named, Mr Mount being scarcely able to keep Daniel Webster back to his horses. At the fence coming into the straight the second time round, Daniel Webster, when full of running, came down a cropper, and at the very next jump Kangaroo, when within a couple of lengths of Norman, shared a similar fate, Howell being terribly shaken in the fall. Young Hector was now seen racing along with all sail, but he could not overtake Norman, although he ran him to a length and a half, Daniel Webster being the only other horse that got round. The CONSOLATION HANDICAP of 30 sovs; entrance 2 sovs; once round the course; post entry. Mr Lamble's b g Castaway, 4 vrs, 7st 41b Nunn 1 Mr H. Howell's b f The Nun, 3 yrs. 7st 41b W. Perkins 2 Mr A. M'Douald'schcYoung Dutchman, 3 yrs, 6st 101b. Fallan 0 Betting: Even on The Nun. Young Dutchman made play for half a mile, when The Nun took up the running, and carried it on to the last turn. Castaway securing the front place before the distance was gained, and winning by several lengths; Young Dutchman nowhere. test confined to the New South Welshmen and the good folks of their youngest offshoot; in the fourth, Mormon gained an easy victory over the cracks of all the colonies, including the far dis- tant Western Australia; and in the fifth, Talleyrand reversed the running at Tasmania, and snatched the laurels previously gained by the game and honest son of the Premier. It is worth men- tioning here, that Talleyrand has been the first to infuse any new blood into the equine aristocracy who successfully compete for the blue ribands of the colonial turf, Zoe, who won the second and third, was placed second for the first, and Mormon, who carried off the fourth, ran a good horse for the first under the name of Praxiteles, and finished amongst the first half dozen. Talleyrand, on the other hand, made his debut in such distin- guished company last year in Tasmania, where his performance gave very little reason for us to anticipate his victory on the pre- sent occasion. Mr Tait appears to have a decided predilection for winning champion races, and to that end spares neither trouble nor expense. He has now been successful three times out of five, and on one of the other occasions second, so that his enterprise has been rewarded by a fair amount of luck. WEDNESDAY, OCT 1.— The BARWON STAKES of 75 sovs; the second 15 sovs out of the stakes; weight for age, with allow- ances ; one mile and a half. Mr W.

Young Dutchman jumped off in front, and made the running to the turn, when Bayard shot to the fore, and Propriety, who got away badly, ran into the second place, Kangaroo third, and Prattler fourth. From this to the finish the race was scarcely in doubt, Bayard making the pace all the way, and winning easily by ten lengths, Propriety second, and Kangaroo third. Run in 3min 2sec. The FIFTH CHAMPION SWEEPSTAKES of 100 sovs each, with 500 added ; the second 200 sovs from the stake, an< J, the third saved his stake; weight for age ; horses imp. rted from England, the neighbouring colonies, or elsewhere, after the date of nomina- tion, allowed 31b, and a further allowance of 21b if maidens; 5 per cent deducted from the gross stake for expenses; value of the stake 2,060 sovs; three miles.

There was one false start, but " the horses having been brought back they were soon in line again, and forthwith fell the final flag, Enfield getting just the best of the start, whilst iEneas and Lord of the Isles not being ready for the signal, lost at least a dozen lengths. The crowded state of the Grand Stand pre- vented us from seeing the horses " shake" into their places, but after the first turn was rounded the lead was in the hands of The Nun, Barwon being second, Mormon third, and Enfield fourth, the ruck being headed by Flatcatcher, followed by Talleyrand, Josephine, and Archer. The four leading horses retained their positions for upwards of half a mile, when Mormon went to the front, and before entering the straight running Talleyrand joined their company, the light blue jacket and white cap still com- manding a strong lead, attended by the two Boiardos— The Nun and Barwon. Coming up the straight Josephine ran into a for- ward place, and passing the Stand the first turn round, she was going along third, pulling hard, Mormon still in front, racing well within himself, and Barwon a couple of lengths behind him. Flatcatcher, The Nun, Enfield, and Talleyrand were also well up at this point of the race, whilst Archer was at least ten lengths from Mormon, and Clive, iEneas, and Lord of the Isles were struggling hopelessly in the rear. On they raced in these posi- tions until the second turn was gained, when Josephine gave way, and was passed by Talleyrand and Flatcatcher, and no sooner had the last named twain gut into close quarters with Mormon and Barwon, than Archer came with a tremendous rush, ran through his horses as a hare would pass a tortoise, and headed the field. At the same time almost as Archer showed in front Mormon hung out signals of distress, and the cry of " Mormon's beaten" had scarcely been uttered when the Victorian favourite was compelled to surrender in favour of Talleyrand, and shortly after at the bidding of Barwon. Half a mile from home the race seemed to be Archer's, but Ash worth at once set to work on Tal- leyrand, aud Perkins followed suit on Barwon, and before the distance was gained the yellow jacket of Mr Tait was seen in front, whilst behind it was the red and green of Barwon. The three leading jockeys were now at work, and every yard of ground from the distance post to the goal was stoutly contested, but all the whipping did not alter the positions, and Talleyrand was hailed the winner of the Fifth Champion Race by a couple of lengths, Barwon beating Archer the same distance, and Archer beating Mormon by four lengths, Flatcatcher a good fifth, Jose- phine sixth, The Nun seventh, . Eneas eighth, Clive ninth, Enfield tenth, and Lord of the Isles last. Run in 6min 2sec. PEDIGREE, DESCRIPTION, AND PERFORMANCES OF THE WINNER. PEDIGBEE.— Talleyrand was bred by Mr Otto Baldwin, at Li- verpool Plains, N. S. W., in 1S56, and is by Cossack out of a Gratis mare. Cossack was bred by Mr T. Icely, in New South Wales, andisbySirHercules out of FloraM'Ivor, by Emigrant, granddam Cornelia by Grasshopper— Sir Hercules, being by Cap- a- pie ( im ported) out of Paraguay ( imported) by Sir Hercules out of Para- digm by Partisan— Cossack being a full brother to Zoe, Chevalier, Io, & c. Gratis was by Middleton out of Lanica by Gohanna, granddam Certhia by Woodpecker, and was imported to New South Wales, in 1835, by Capt Daniels. DESCRIPTION.— Talleyrand isadarkchesnut gelding, without any white, standing about 15 hands 2 inches. He has a clean straight head, set well on to a light neck, with a fine oblique shoulder, and great depth of girth. His wither is high, and his forehands muscular ; his long switch tail is set on low ; his thighs and gas- kins are well developed, with good flat knees and liocks. Though somewhat flatsided, he is a wiry and game- looking horse. PERFORMANCES.— As a three year old, Talleyrand showed but ordinary form, but from the time he won his Maiden Plate at the Randwick Autumn Races of 1861, down to his stripping for the Tasmanian Champion, he never suffered a defeat, winning in all sorts of company, and over all distances. Mr Tait bought him at the close of the racing season of 1860- 61, and with Kyogle he was sent to Melbourne in the early part of last spring. The compagnons de voyage took up their quarters at St Kilda for a few weeks, and were then reshipped to Hobart Town, where they arrived about a month before the Champion Meeting. Talleyrand was so hurried in his preparation for his Tasmanian engagements that he came to the post in no trim to cope with such a horse as Mormon, and the consequence was that at the finish he secured no better place than a bad fourth. The next day he came out for the All- aged Stakes of 370 sovs, which he won quite easily— two miles in 4min 5sec, under 9st 21b— the best of the opposing nags being Merryman and Muley. The third day he ran a very game race with Shillelah, in the Tradesmen's Purse of 100 sovs, nearly three miles, the Sydney horse proving the gamer of the two as they nearedthe goal. Talleyrand carried 8st 81b, and ran the distance in 6min 4sec. He did not show again on a race course until he started for the Randwick Handicap of 595 sovs, which he won after a slashing race with Ben Bolt, 9st 31b, Mr Tait's horse carry- ing 9st and running two miles and a half and 240 yards in 5min Usee, Archer, lOst, was third, Exeter, 6st 131b, fourth, Moss Rose, 8st 7ib, fifth, & c. At the Randwick meeting the following week, Talleyrand, 9st lib, won the Jockey Club Handicap of 150 sovs by a length, after a desperate race with Ben Bolt, 9st 61b, the time for the two miles being 3min 53sec. The next day he won the City Plate of 135 sovs, with 9st ? lb on him, after another de- termined set to with Ben Bolt, 9st 71b, the mile and a quarter and a distance being traversed in 2min 40sec ; the total of Talleyrand's winnings last season amounting altogether to 1,350 sovs. His en- gagements are in the Jockey Club Handicap at 9st 111b: in the Melbourne Cup at 9st 121b ( including 51b extra) ; in the Great Metropolitan Goldfield Handicap at 9st 131b ( including 51b extra) ; and in the Smythesdale Handicap, the weights of which are not yet out.

The flag having gone down, Falcon showed in front, followed by Young Sheriff and Brenda; and in less than a hundred yards the chesnut filly was to the fore, Young Sheriff second, and Paul Pry third, the favourite unable to get in front. At the far turn Falcon again rushed to the lead, and coming round into the straight he was joined by " Victoria, Paul Pry, Bayard, and Flying Buck, Mr Warren's colt bolting inside a post when just beyond the rails, and leaving the race to Falcon, who won easily by four lengths; Victoria three lengths ahead of Paul Pry, who was the same distance in advance of Flying Buck; the others nowhere. Run in 2min 24sec, VICTORIA JOCKEY CLUB SPRING MEETING. Stewards: Messrs R. Goldsbrough, W. Randle, G. Kirk, S. H. Cohen, J. Ricards, R. Kelsall, and H. Phillips. Starter: Mr Hurtle Fisher. Judge: Mr J. Henderson. Clerk of the Course: Mr Geo. Savory. We are not giving vent to our own opinion only when we con- fess we are making the pace a trifle too strong'in the matter of racing in Melbourne. We are a " tall " people, without doubt, on the question of horseflesh, but the time has now come when we cannot go on racing month after month, and at the same time induce the public to take that interest in our sports, which a less frequent supply would command. So long as there was no Champion Meeting near home to take the rough edge off one's appetite, a couple of Spring meetings in Melbourne were well enough, but the Geelong fixture has this year taken the wind most considerably from the sails of the first Melbourne meeting, and the Ballarat men having announced a Champion meeting for the middle of next October, what are the prospects in the spring of ' 63 ? In the first place, the race horses of the colony are not numerous enough to keep the pot boiling all through a sea- son— our cracks require to be thrown off after a Champion prepa- ration— and the Melbourne Cup is now so coveted a prize, and will become more so as year follows year, that racing men pass by the October meeting so as to have their horses fit to race at the November gathering. Again, the Melbourne Cup has taken strong hold of the public ; few persons who bet at all but have some interest in the result of the Cup, and we can well under- stand that in a limited population like that of Melbourne there are hundreds of persons who have postponed their annual race holiday until Archer and Talleyrand again meet in the Great Melbourne Handicap. The Jockey Club, doubtless, foresaw this state of affairs when they announced their great handicap, but it seems that the club was somewhat late in the day, for although the race commanded a good entry, and a fair field of horses started for the prize, it never from the commencement took with the public. Ths Melbourne Cup was too deeply rooted to be shaken by an opposing force, and although the chance of this colony successfully competing with Sydney in the great event at the Turf Club meeting looks on paper small indeed, yet it is in that race that the public interest is centred. Until after the Champion meeting there was little or no specu lation on the various events at the Jockey Club Races. For the big handicap Flying Buck was made so great a favourite that no other horse would go down except at outside prices, whilst the only investments that were made were by the stables, or by persons who contemplated satisfactory hedging. Before the Geelong meeting, however, Falcon was heavily backed, one bet alone of 1,000 to 60 having been booked about him in the Subscription Room, and his claim to the good opinion of his party was firmly established when he pulled off the Geelong Spring Handicap. From that time until he started for the race, he gradually rose in the market, notwithstanding that during the earl 3- part of the past week strong support was accorded to Mormon, Dauntless, Susan, and Bayard. Flying Buck and Tory Boy, on the other hand, have been quite friendless of late, the bookmakers never missing the opportunity of laying against either when they had the chance. With the exception of a little business on the Grand Stand Stakes, and a perfect rush to back Souter Johnny for both the jumping races, there was no betting up to the evening before the meeting— indeed, the Subscription Room was not used at all on Tuesday, whilst all the members had cleared out by eleven o'clock on Wednesday evening. The va- rious scratchings up to the morning of the race, we have noted elsewhere, and we regret that casualties should have injured what at the best was not a brilliant programme. The event of the meeting was the V. J. C. Great Handicap, and of the eleven horses who were coloured on the card ten came to the past, Darkey being scratched at the eleventh hour. Alfred, who cried " a go" on the previous Saturday, had broken down, whilst Shadow was left at Ballarat in reserve for the Cup. The business of saddling commenced soon after three o'clock, and great was the anxiety to see the condition of the favourites. Falcon was quite up to his Geelong form, and his stable stuck to him to the very last, though they must have lost heart a little when they saw him break out in a profuse sweat as he took his canter in front of the Stand. Mormon trembled like a leaf whilst he was being saddled, but his owner was nothing daunted, and the run- ning of the horse proved that his confidence was well founded. Victoria was started to make the pace, and for three parts of a mile the little mare raced a hurricane. She, however, was forced to compound when Falcon collared her, though she kept with the leading horses for upwards of a mile. The English mare Susan was a great pot with her party, and she was brought to the post in rare form, and with Simpson on lier back. Al- though a small mare, she has great racing points all over, but she shut completely up before she had gone araile, another instance of an imported horse failing to compete successfully with the colonial bred racers. Dauntless appeared in excellent form, but he did not show in front all through the race; whilst Paul Pry, who was quite out of the betting, came along very gamely towards the finish under the pilotage of the Tasmanian jockey, Gill. Fly- ing Buck and Tory Boy kept in the rear all through, and so did Bayard, although of the outside division he was the best favourite. Dun Dolo showed very forward after they had travelled about a mile, and with 81b less on his back, coupled with another month's condition, he may yet play a more prominent part in the race for the Cup. Owing to the fractiousness of one or two of the horses, the start was delayed a quarter of an hour; but eventually the flag fell, when the whole fleet was on the look out. Victoria made strong running to the Old Stand, and shortly after, Mormon got up to Falcon, these two carrying on in close company to the end of the chapter, the light weight beating Mormon, after a severe race, by a length, Paul Pry a good third, and the others no- where. The pace was tremendous all through, the time being about the best that has ever been made on the Melbourne race- course. This performance of Mormon's makes him a great horse over that distance, whilst those who stand heavily against the Sydney horses for the Cup must regret that Falcon is not one of the field with about 8st 41b on his back. THURSDAY, OCT 16.— The GRAND STAND STAKES of 75 sovs; weight for age; entrance 5 sovs; one mile and a half. Mr T. Bavin's gr g Flatcatcher, by Dolo, aged, lOst lib.

Carisbrook jumped off in front, followed by Exeter, Flatcatcher, Maxwell, Saturn, and Josephine, and for a couple of hundred yards the brown mare made strong play; but Exeter then shot to the fore, whilst Carisbrook was kept back, and by the time they reached the Old Stand she was last, Exeter and Flateatcher holding the foremost places, Maxwell heading the ruck. Saturn soon after made an effort to get to the front, but failed, and then Carisbrook came again, but was beaten off by the leading horses before the last turn was gained. The race was now between the two favourites, but Exeter found " Old Flat" too good for him towards the finish, and the latter was landed a clever winner by a length and a half; Carisbrook a bad third, Josephine fourth, Saturn fifth, and Maxwell last Run in 2min - 56sec. The SPRING SAPLING STAKES of 50 sovs; for two year olds; colts 8st, fillies 7st 111b; entrance 3 sovs ; three quarters of a mile. Mr Lang's b f Aruma, by Boiardo, 7st 111b Henderson 1 Mr , T. R.

The flag went down to a good start, but Im- pudence was left at the post, Aruma getting away with a strong lead, followed by Maryborough. When they had gone a quarter of a mile, Austral, who had a bad start, got on good terms with Mr Yuilie's colt, and these three from that point had the race to themselves ; Aruma coming along all the way at her own pace, and winning easily by six lengths, Austral beating Maryborough by two lengths, Piccaninny fourth, Rose d'Amour fifth, and Im- pudence nowhere; time, lmin 27sec.

After two false starts, in both of which Susan had some- thing taken out of her, away they went on good terms, the Adelaide mare at once rushing to the front, but giving way at the half distance to Victoria, who led past the stand at a tremendous pace, Susan being second, and Falcon third. Rounding the first turn, the chesnut mare lay many lengths in front, followed by Susan, Falcon, and Dauntless, whilst Mormon kept with the back division; but before half a mile had been traversed Victoria com- menced to fall back to her horses, and by the time the old Stand was reached Susan was in front, Falcon holding third place, and the rest of the field well up. Simpson, however, held the pre- miership only for a few seconds, and opposite the Abattoirs he found his mare beaten, Falcon in the mean time having run into first place, Victoria second, and Dauntless third. At the com- mencement of the far stretch Mormon began to overhaul his horses, and soon obtained second place, whilst on nearing the straight Paul Pry passed Dauntless and Victoria, and challenged the leading pair, Falcon and Mormon. From the turn to the distance Paul Pry made a good fight for it, but from that point the struggle was between the two favourites, Trainor, who took the inside running, keeping well on to Falcon's quarters until opposite the Stand, when the latter drew slightly ahead and won by a length; Paul Pry two lengths behind Mormon, and Victoria a bad fourth, Dauntless fifth, and Flying Buck sixth.

Kinchen found the pace too good for him very early in the race, and was nowhere at half a mile, Conrad making the running all through, and winning after a slashing race by half a length. The winner was bought in. FRIDAY.— For the Derby there were six starters, but with the exception of Barwon, who was backed freely at odds against the field, they were a very indifferent lot. If was reported to be a " good thing," and Treacy had got Malabar into rare form, but the performance of Bayard in the Great Handicap had put him out of the betting, whilst, Sweetlips is but a shade bigger than she was last year, and Ithuriel even the stable would not back. Bar- won did what he liked with the field, and had he been let out he could have well nigh distanced them. We were glad to see Mr Harper's colours pull off a good stake at last, and with Barwon we venture to predict many a prize will be won this season. The Spring Handicap turned out a rare " skinner'' for the bookmakers, only one of whom had written the winner's name, and he, to make his case worse, laid - 30 to 10 against her just as she came into the straight run, leading by a length or two. The finish was one of the best ever seen on the Melbourne course, for the winner was landed only a length, whilst the next four could lite- rally have been covered with a sheet. The speedy daughter of Young Touchstone, who came so opportunely to the rescue of the bookmakers, was bred by Mr M'Haffie, and is out of Auda- city, the dam of Cardinal Wiseman and Dauntless. Her sire, Young Touchstone, now serving at Western Port, is by the great Touchstone out of Quebec, by Gladiator, the mare having been imported in 1852, in foal to Touchstone. Modesty is the first of his get who ever won on the Melbourne Course, and her trainer, Dan Robinson, must have worked well at her to get her into such good form in a couple of months.

Stork jumped off with the lead, but at once gave way to Moscow, who made strong running for half a mile, followed by Brenda and Josephine; the chesnut filly then took the front place, but was passed by Josephine half way down the far stretch, the latter retaining the lead to the finish, and winning easily by two lengths, Stork, who passed Brenda at the turn, being second, the others nowhere.

Sweetlips was the first to show in front, and led by the Stand, followed by Barwon, If, Malabar, Bayard, and Ithuriel, Mr Lang's filly continuing to cut out the running to the Old Stand, when Barwon went to the fore, Malabar second. On rounding the far turn If came out of the ruck and commenced to overhaul the favourite, who was with difficulty kept back to his horses. Ho wever, as soon as she got within a length of him, away he went, and was never again approached, winning in a cante- by many lengths, Malabar and Bayard passing If in the last few strides, and finishing second and third; Ithuriel fifth, and Sweet- lips last.

In consequence of Rip Van Winkle's breaking away twice the horses were kept at the post for more than twenty minutes, but at last they got away in good order, Falcon with a slight lead, which he kept round the first turn, and then gave way to Modesty, who at once left her horses and took up a clear lead of several lengths, Falcon and Cardigan holding the next places, with Flatcatcher, Victoria, and Twilight at the head of the ruck, Exeter, with Shingler and Rip Van Winkle bringing up the rear. Opposite the Abattoirs, Cardigan passed Falcon, who up to this time had been pulling double, but Mr Cole's horse gave in soon after, and was passed first by Vic- toria, and then by Flatcatcher, Modesty still going on with her strong lead. As they came into the straight running, Exeter ran into a forward place, and for a few strides it seemed as though Modesty would be reached, but she got away from her pursuers the moment she found herself challenged, and was never again approached, winning cleverly by a length, Falcon a neck in ad- vance of Exeter, who was the same distance before Flatcatcher, half a neck separating him and Victoria, the others nowhere.

[ From the Birmingham Post.] At the Public Office, on Monday, Dec 29, before Mr T. Lloyd, a singular case came on for hearing. Mr T. Glassey, game dealer, was summoned by Sanatory Inspector Cooper, for having ex- posed for sale five hares which were unfit for human food.— Mr John Smith appeared for the defendant — Inspector Cooper stated that he seized the hares in question, as they smelt abominably ; the flesh was dark- coloured, and they were perfectly unfit for food.— In cross- examination by Mr Smith, Cooper said he did not think the smell could be covered by any cooking, nor that the hares could have been eaten ; they were nearly rotten. Glassey brought another hare out of the same lot, but that was not so bad, although it stank and was very much discoloured. He did not think the one he brought would have been eatable in a few days. — Dr Hill, borough analyst, said he examined the five hares, and they were quite unfit for human food. They were condemned by Mr Lloyd. In his ( Dr Hill's) opinion, they were in almost the last stage of decomposition.— Cross- examined: He thought all meat that had undergone any process of decomposition was very unwholesome and poisonous. Knew game was eaten " high,'' and by some peeple liked. He did not think fire destroyed the poison of decomposition, nor hid the taste of it.— At this point Mr Smith called Mr Hatton, of Broad- street, a professional cook, who produced a saucepan boiling hot, filled with jugged hare, and requested Dr Hill to taste whether it was good. Dr Hill did so, and replied, " It appears to me to be very good, but rather highly spiced. I should not object to eat it myself." Mr Smith : The hare is one out of the lot you condemned, and the one Cooper said would not keep, and it is now 14 days since it was examined.— Dr Hill: The smell may be disguised, and in that case I think it just as unwhole- some. Mr Smith : Do you mean to tell the public that if game and venison are hung so that they smell they are not fit for food ? — Dr Hill: I am prepared to stand by my opinion, and I de clare all stages of decomposition render game as much unfit for food as any other unwholesome food. Mr Gem ( magistrate's clerk) : Fresh pork and veal to some systems are almost poison- ous, are they not ?— Dr Hill: Certainly. Mr Gem : Then, of course, they would in like manner be unfit for food ?— Dr Hill: I do not go to that extent, but if constitutions could be known where pork and veal disagreed I should always advise against their being eaten. Mr Gem : Of course you would, but you will never make me believe that hung game is unwholesome. Why I know a man of eighty and upwards who would not touch a hare unless it was regularly " green" before cooking. These men want a good deal of poisoning. [ The soup and jugged hare were tasted by numbers in court, and all pronounced it good, and some ef the witnesses afterwards adjourned to lunch upon it.]— Mr Smith then addressed the bench, characterising the interference of Cooper as meddling and unnecessary in cases of game, and that Dr Hill's notion of poisonous and unwholesome food was very much like that of several professors of chemistry, who broadly stated everything was more or less poisonous; and that to such an extent did they carry their qtiantitive and qualitative im aginations, that the simplest thing in the world woud be pro- nounced to contain poison and to be injurious. Yet we lived and got fat upon such things. Common sense and experience, he urged, should ever override the dogmas of scientific theorists. Dr Smith then called Mr Btephen Potter, game dealer, Dale End, who said: Game is not fit to eat until it has been hung. Hares will smell horribly after two or three days, and yet they are sought after. Customers will not have fresh game; we cannot sell it. Plenty of medical men come to me for hares that are perfectly green.— Mr George Benson, Mr Rotton, and others corroborated Mr Potter.— Mr Hatton then said: I cooked the hare produced in the ordinary way, and have not attempted to disguise the smell. It stank before cooking as bad as any I ever cooked, but it is now quite fresh and firm. A hare is not good until it smells, it has no flavour in it.— Professor W. Sands Cox ( Queen's College), who happened to be in court, was called aud said: I have heard Dr Hill's evidence as to hung game being unwholesome and unfit for food. My opinion is that a hare is not good to eat till it does smell. Fire destroys the smell. I think hung game wholesome.— Dr Hill: Asa younger man than Mr Cox, may I be permitted to say that measly pork eaten by children has produced tape- worm, after it has been cooked.— Mr Cox: I doubt it, and am not bound to believe all that is written.— Mr Lloyd, in giving his deiision, said: As I was the magistrate who ordered the hares to be destroyed, I cannot stul- tify myself by dismissing the case, but I shall not fine the de- fendant.

PROSECUTIONS UNDER THE TWEED FISHERIES ACT.— The first cases of violation of the Tweed Fisheries Act that have oc- curred in Selkirkshire this season were brought before Sheriff Dundas, at Selkirk, on Monday, Dec 29. James Russel Dalgleish, residing at Old Lewinshope, and Thomas Henderson, Yarrow- fews, were charged with contravening the 6- 3d section of the act of 1857, by fishing in Lewinshope Burn early on the morning of the 8th of Dec. The panels, who were defended by Mr Jeffrey, solicitor, Jedburgh, pleaded not guilty. Evidence having been led, tne Sheriff found the complaint proven, and sentenced each of the offenders to pay a fine of £ 3, with 15s expenses, with the alternative of 10 days' imprisonment. A lad named William Murraj', residing at Craiglatch, in the parish of Stow, pleaded guilty to having in his possession two salmon, on the 6th Dec, in contravention of the 10th section of the act of 1859, and was fined in the minimum penalty of 10s for each fish, with 25s costs, or in default of payment to be imprisoned for 10 days. The fines were paid in each case. HORRIBLE DEATH.— The Rev Dr John George Gordon, for- merly s. f Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, and Trinity College, Dublin, Principal of the Collegiate Institution, Notting Hill- terrace, has been killed on the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway, and a verdict of Accidental Death returned by the jury empanneled to inquire into the circumstances. The melan- choly occurrence took place on Friday, Dec 26, at the Gipsy- hill station, Norwood, on the London side of the Crystal Palace. It appeared that the rev doctor mounted the steps of a carriage when a train had begun to move out of the station, and a porter imme- diately signalled him to get down, informing luin- Uiat- jt- was not the train by which he had said he wished to travelT * tTO " porter tried to remove him, and in doing so they fell together, the porter on the platform, and the clergyman on the metals over which the train was passing. He was seriously injured, and, having been conveyed to Guy's Hospital, died there. The porter, it is said, had a very narrsw escape. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths in the week ending Satur- day, Dec 27, were 1,292, being 268 below the average. There was nothing noticeable in the return. The births were 829 boys, and 781 girls ; total 1,610. A COLUMN FOR ARCHERS- AECHERY AT HARROW SCHOOL. THE SILVER ARROW.— Many queries having recently appeared in periodicals devoted to the records of old English usages, one by one now falling rapidly into oblivion, respecting the origin, pro- gress, and extinction of the Harrow shooting matches, long the pride and delight of the pupils at that noble public seminary, we will attempt a history of the custom from the period of its first anniversary. As the writers all subscribed themselves " Harro- vians," the information here given will be duly appreciated in that quarter, at all events. A consideration of the laws which within the last two centuries made the exercise of the bow com- pulsory upon all male children above the age of seven years, will explain that there is " nothing strange or singular" in the shooting matches that once obtained in all English en- dowed schools. In many, as Eton, the College School at War- wick, and the one now under consideration, the custom is recog- nised in the appellation still borne by a portion of their respective playgrounds, viz, " shooting fields" and " butts.'' At Harrow, the founder's third stipulation in the rules, drawn up by his own hand, addressed to parents who sent their sons for education there, is, " You shall allow your child at all times bow, shafts, bow- strings, and bracer, to exercise shooting." John Lyon, who built and endowed Harrow, was a wealthy Middlesex yeoman of the reign of Elizabeth. His rank in life is at once decisive of his being an archer, the descendant of one of those heroes alluded to by our delightful poet Drayton, when he paints a warlike rustic elder, exhorting his son to acquit himself " right yeoman lie and well" beneath King Henry's banner upon the hostile plains of Agincourt:— " And boy, quoth he, I've heard thy grandsire eay That once he did an English arc tier see, Who, shooting at a French twelve score away, Quite through the body nailed him to a tree." In addition to the above- named regulations, Lyon perpetuated his fondness for this exercise by the representation of an arrow sculptured in many parts of the old school building; and it is, or used to be, stamped on the covers of all books provided by the founder's bequest. Many an ancient English ballad writer alludes to " An arrow with a golden head, And shaft of silver white," as the prize of success anciently given at this time- honoured pas- time. The one provided for the Harrow boys, also the founder's gilt, was a rather costly affair, and the competition for it quite a splendid festival. The twelve competitors assembled at the school butts with bow, bracer, shooting glove, and belt, beneath which " Their shafts were buckled fast." The juvenile who planted an arrow within any ef the circles was each time saluted with a flourish of French hunting horns; and he who shot twelve times in or nearest the centre bore off the silver arrow, followed by the music and a procession of his school- fellows. A ball in the schoolroom, which was attended by all the chief families in and near Harrow, wound up this happy day, when, in selecting partners for the dance, where beauty sat, the victorious archer " Claimed kindred there, and had his claim allowed." We can trace back the winners' names, and other circumstan- ces connected with Harrow bow meetings, for upwards of a century, and the names of many an Englishman, illustrious in after life, are seen upon the muster roll. I believe the first record is the following, which occurs in the Country Journal or Crafts- man, for August, 1727:—" On Thursday, a silver arrow, value £ 3, was shot for at Harrow by six youths of the Free School, a custom annually performed on the first Thursday in August, being the gift for that purpose of Mr Lyon, an inhabitant of the town, and founder of the Free School there. Mr Chandler— a captain in the tame army ( militia?)— marched thither from London, with about thirty or forty . of his compaBy, and performed a fine exercise in honour" of the day, and his son, who is one of the scholars." Lyon had fixed the 4th of August ( his own birthday) as the period on which the prize should be contested, and the archers were to be limited to six. Subsequently they augmented the number to twelve, and selected the first Thursday in July as more convenient in reference to their vacation. Tne folio wing paragraph, allusive to the ancient arrangements, is from the London Chronicle, 1730: —" The silver arrow was shot for at Harrow- on- the- Hill, on the 4th of August, by the twelve following gentlemen : — Messrs Thomas Swale, Owen Brigstock, Robert Tomlinson, his Grace the Duke of Gordon, the Right Hon Lord W. Gordon, the Right Hon Lord Mountstewart, Messrs Clarke, Wright, Rooke, Darley, and Denham Skeet " Aug 4, 1760, won by Master Earl. July 5, 1785, won by Master Davies, from twelve competitors. On this occasion some Irequois Indian warriors attended to witness a sport in which they were themselves such admirable adepts. When the game had been about half won, one of them intimated to the lads, through their interpreter, that he thought he and his friends could win the prize if they were allowed a chance of doing so. " On Thursday, July the 4th, 1816," says the Morning Chronicle, " the silver arrow was shot for, at butts, by twelve young gentlemen educated at Harrow School. It was with difficulty won by Master Jenkins, who disputed the prize for nearly three hours, owing to the equality of three of the young gentlemen, who gained nine each, ten being the winning number.'' From that year the arrow ceased to be given, and with it ex- pired the ancient practice of archery at public schools. " Many people," says the topographer of Harrow, " familiar with the rural environs of London during the early part of the present century, may remember the pleasant butt fields which formed the theatre of this romantic spectacle. They stand, or rather stood, at the entrance of thevillage, on the left hand side of the road leading to town, but retain nothing of their original appearance; the name alone remains. Those ancient green earthen mounds, against which the targets reclined, have been long dug down. The beautiful isolated eminence, crowned with lofty trees, which once rose behind them, and down whose sides ranges of grassy seats sloped gradually to the turf below, was first denuded of its timber, and then— proh pudor!— consigned to the picturesque operations of that ancient fraternity, the brickmakers!'' Weenter- tain a strong hope that the strenuous exertions recently made by Lords Bury and Elcho in their places in Parliament for the re- vival and permanent introduction of athletic sports into all our educational establishments, may have the effect of restoring to Harrow the anniversary festival which its founder vainly endea- voured to perpetuate. Now that the archery season of 1862 has drawn to a close, we will venture to take a brief review of its progress. Never, perhaps, in the memory of man, has there been a summer— up to the middle of July— more unpropitious for open air athletic sports, but above all for bow meetings, the indispensable accom- paniment of which is a fine, genial atmosphere. Arid truly, the gaiety and enthusiasm of those who attended them was of course sympathetically depressed. As regards the Grand National Archery Meeting, probably the palmiest epoch of its prize shoot- ing since the inauguration was that occurring at Shrewsbury in 1854 or 1855 ; prizes, amounting in money value to nearly £ 500, were then distributed, and the visitors included the noblest and wealthiest of half- a- dozen counties. This year not more than half that amount was subscribed. The LTnited Irish archery societies, after announcing their design to hold a distinct Irish national prize meeting at the Rotunda Gardens, Dublin, suddenly collapsed, neither shooters nor funds being forthcoming. A most lame and impotent conclusion! Really, in a great wealthy community like the Irish aristocracy, this is altogether inexplicable, and seems ominous of the speedy extinction of the taste for archery, so recently revived there. " Revived," because,, although the present race of Dublin archer3 may be unaware of the fact, a numerous and splendid bow society, named the Dublin Archers Club, existed there more than a century since. They had for many years their ranges of earthen butts, varying in length from the ancient long distances down to point blank range, upon a large level green in the extinct village of Hoggis, now the well known College- green. When the march of brick and mortar overspread that locality, and drove them thence, the butts were transferred to the North Strand, where the grandfather of an archer still living, one of the club, won their gold bugle in 1774. Soon afterwards the mem- bers gradually fell off, and in 1784 the United Dublin Archery Club expired, just at the moment when in London and its en- virons the old time- honoured sport had experienced a brilliant revival. Some of their archery gear was deposited in the Royal Irish Academy Museum, and I believe a portion, specimens of the " grey goose wing,'' may still be seen there. I have'read an anecdote somewhere that one of these Irish archers delivered a youth of his family from being burned to death when at the top of a lofty building, of which the basement was on fire, by shooting an arrow having a packthread attached to it into one of the beams of the roof. By this contrivance a more substantial rope was speedily drawn up, secured, and used as a means of descent. Thus we see that archery may be utilised as well as followed as sport. By the by, it is a great drawback to this favourite national sport that its supporters do not come forward every summer with the offer of a purse, aye and a heavy one, to be shot for at some cen- tral, easily accessible place of tryst,. the name of which should be widely advertised in the London and provincial journals for at least two months beforehand. The obscure and somewhat exclu- sive style in which English bow meetings have latterly been managed, with some few notable exceptions only, is another sub- stantial cause why we see so many of them decline and become defunct after a year or two's languid duration. Nothing exhi- bited at the present time can compare, for instance, with the splendour with which, at the beginning of the present century, " the Royal Kentish Bowmen'' and " the Surrey Archers" con- ducted their summer parades. The one met on Dartford Heath, with the Prince of Wales as captain- general, the other was pa- tronised by the Duke of Clarence and his son, Lord Adolphus, all three wearing the uniform of the respective clubs. Among the. members of the Royal Kentish were also the Dukes of Norfolk, Bedford, Leeds, Dorset, and Buckingham; the Lords Effing- ham, Eardley, Lewisham, Saltown, & c. Beside three pair of gold and silver medals, there were the prince's prizes, a silver bugle and silver arrows tipped with gold. With these prizes his royal highness himself invested the victors, amidst a salute of 21 guns, martial music, and the waving of banners, as they presented themselves on one knee before him. Ten guineas constituted the entrance fee. The qualification— a freehold in Kent of £ 10 per annum ; or leasehold of £ 20, for not less period than three years. Their balls, theatricals, and the four grand summer target matches were extensively announced in the Lon- don and county newspapers. The uniform selected by the prince consisted of coat of Lincoln green, buff vest and small clothes, with especial proviso that " leather breeches might be worn." The hat, black heaver, with blacK ostrich feather, looped, with gold, and a fine of five shillings was strictly enforced upon those who presumed to attend in mufti. Every member on his mar- riage signalised the auspicious occurrence by sending in three dozen of claret. Their officers were on the same grand scale : chaplain, antiquarian, four standard bearers. The Surrey archers rendezvoused at the Rubbing House, Epsom Downs. One of their prizes was an Indian bow and quiver, full of arrows, valued at 50 guineas. The short, insignificant distance shot by a great majority of our existing clubs is another potent element in the decline of bow meetings. We read a few weeks since of a prize contest where the ladies— who are comparatively always in advance of their male associates— shot a given number of arrows at sixty yards, and the gentlemen also a given number at the same distance. This really is not only puerile, but perfectly gratuitous. Use renders it as easy to hit the target at ten score yards as at three. The power of the drawing arm may, by training, be easily doubled, and the weight of a bow has no limit, except the strength of the user. At Edinburgh the Royal Scottish Archer Guard shoot " rovers," at 180 and 200 yards, tie mark being only thirty inches square. A shaft in the clout at 200 yards is said to be there a very com- mon occurrence, and certainly must be considered a beautiful display of skill. It is to be regretted that there should be gradually springing up amongst no small section of our lady archers a desire to post- pone the graceful, innoxuous practice of arrow shooting for that of the rifle. We would suggest that by nature they are too eager and impulsive— we do not say giddy— to undertake the charging and other manipulation of a rifle. It would be a fearful result that the journalist should ever and anon have to record the perforation and shattering of some delicate creature's wrist, or the amputation of her taper fingers. So, dear ladies, forget all about " form riflewomen, form!" Eschew " villanous saltpetre," and vary your pastimes in the tar- get ground— if vary them you must— by introducing the bright polished steel crossbow, of that kind called arc d jallet by our neighbours — in old English, a prodd. Its accuracy of cast is something marvellous. The mark aimed at by the ladies of Brabant is never larger than a shilling, at a distance of one hundred feet, and at that point blank distance it need never be missed ; so the feat ascribed to William Tell, as far as merely hitting the apple is concerned, may be confidently undertaken by our fair arbalistieres. Some years back an archer in Lancashire betted considerably that he would shiver a wine- glass placed upon his friend's head, with a ball from his steel crossbow. He not only won the wager, but he who acted target escaped unscathed. The weapon here described is of particularly graceful form, and it would be pleasant to witness a bevy of fair dames simulta- neously applying the bender to their polished steel bows, flash- ing in the brilliant sunlight. The fair toxophilite interested in our suggestion may see more than one elegant specimen of the lighter sort of crossbow amongst Lord Loughborough's contribu- tions to the South Kensington Museum. In the Exhibition there was a remarkable specimen of a wooden crossbow, with which the Baskir archers are armed, who serve as militia in the Russian town of Ouranberg. The Exhibition contained besides German steel crossbows, for sale, and a very large collection of South American and Asiatic archery gear, the inspection of which should not have been omitted. Amongst them was the bow and quiver of a Circassian noble; the bow is a combination of wood and horn, very elastic; but on my venturing to test its power, to my surprise and disappointment I found it not more than half the strength of my own everyday bow for shooting long distances. In concluding this article, I would ask my bow mates whether any of them are aware of the existence of a work on archery, with richly coloured plates, announced for publication about the com- mencement of the present century, " by J. Lathom, Esq, antiqua- rian to the Society of Royal Kentish Bowmen." There is also somewhere a missing archery treatise, by one Hole ( about 1580), said to have been in the Bodleian library. Sir Joseph Banks had more than one Turkish treatise on the use and manufacture of the Oriental bow, and I have seen ii Persian MS. on the subject in the British Museum collection. These, if brought to light, would be hailed by educated archers as a welcome addition to our present meagre catalogue of toxophilite literature. Although the languid spirit of our archery clubs may just now at home require the application of some wholesome stimulus, across the Atlantic the old honoured weapon seems to be not only in the ascendant, but it is applied to a purpose never con- templated by us sober Britishers. The Times not long since con- tained the following paragraph, extracted from a New York con- temporary:—" Duel in British Columbia.— Mr Casey accepts the challenge of Mr Sling, with either of the following weapons:— Rifle, at80 yards, two shots; shotgun, 40 yards, two shots; bow, 50 yards, three shots." The challenged had leisure given him to decide upon his choice of weapons. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Do& STEALING.— On Tuesday, at Maryiebone, George Gigner, aged 25, a butler, was charged with dog stealing.— Mr George Willis Penson, residing at 104, Westbourne- terrace, said the prisoner was in his service as butler. Last Sunday night he ( witness) missed his terrier dog from the dining- room, and at once communicated with the| police — William Irwin, a cabman, had known the prisoner from a child. On Sunday he brought a dog to him to mind, but, as he had only one room, and a wife and four children in it, he refused.— Edward Cook said last wit- ness sent prisoner to him with the dog, and he undertook to mind it till ten at night, when the prisoner came and said he could not take it away. The following morning he again came and seemed very fidgetty, and witness seeing the collar marked " Penson," and as he imagined " Oriental Club," he took the dog there, but the name was not known. He took it back, when prisoner brought him a bill offering £ 2 reward for the restoration of a Scotch terrier of the name of Whiskey, to be taken to a stationer's in the Bishop's- road." The dog was sent by another man,— Mr Yardley: This accounts for the whole matter— the stealing for the reward.— Prisoner: I am very sorry. I am guilty. The officer knows I have held good situations, and it is my first offence. — Mr Yardley: Sorry, I suppose, you are found out. It appeal's to me that you did this for the hake of getting the reward.— Doble, 147 D, in reply to his worship, 8aid he had known the prisoner to have held good situations.— Mr Yardley said it was very evident that he had taken the dog; and had he got a good accomplice with him, he would have received the reward. Prisoner was then sentenced to three months' hard labour under Bishop's Act. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AT SEA.— At the Thames court, on Tuesday, Randall Stone, the master; Louis Low, the chief mate; and Henry Francis, the boatswain of the ship Martha Pope, now lying in the West India Dock, were charged with causing the death of W m. Curtis, a youth, who shipped as cook and steward, at Belize.— Mr Young, in opening the case, said he charged the prisoners with ill- using the deceased on the voyage from Honduras to London, and the captain with exposing him upon deck when he was ill and delirious. The deceased expired on board the Martha Pope, off Gravesend, on the 17th ult, and the body was brought to London. A coroner's inquest terminated its labours on Monday, and the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against all the prisoners.— Two seamen, named John Clark and John Hart, were examined at great length, and made out that the deceased was in good health when he joined the vessel at Belize, on the 22d of October last; that he turned out to be an insufficient cook and steward, and he was ordered to do duty as an ordinary seaman. He did not give satisfaction in that ca- pacity, and he became a skulker, and refused to work. He was insufficiently clad, and was exposed to the cold and wet, and was attacked with illness. Ths prisoners, believing he was shamming, struck him across the shoulders occasionally with a thong and a rope's- end, but these chastisements were by no means severe or frequent. Two weeks before the ship arrived in London the deceased was told to work at the pump previous to going be'ow. The deceased pumped two or tlireestrokes and then gave up, and sat down near the pump. The captain told kim to keep on pumping, and he said he was unable. The captain said heshould not go below till he did pump, and gavs him a few strokes across the shoulders with a leathern thong, and said " I'll make you pump ; you shall not get the better of me." The deceased re- mained on deck all that day, and appeared delirious. After this the deceased did no more work, and continued to get worse until his death. The captain behaved with great kindness to the de- ceased when he was convinced he was ill, attended upon him in his own cabin, and supplied him with medicine and every nou- rishment the ship could afiV>: d. The captain also sent on shore for a doctor when his ship brought up at Gravesend. It was also proved that all the prisoners had frequently given the deceased their own clothes to wear, and that the captain was, in general, very kind to his crew. In the post mortem examination of the body a lacerated wound was discovered over the left eyebrow, and there were numerous bruises, scars, contu- sions, and cuts on the hands, arms, feet, legs and thighs, but none whatever upon the body, except a mark on the left shoulder. It was the opinion of the three physicians who conducted two post •> - rtcm examinations of the body, that none of the marks or bruists were caused by a flogging with a rope's end or a thong Many of them were caused by the usual accidents incidental to a sailor's life. The deceased fell down a hatchway into a coal bunk and bruised himself; a log of wood fell on his foot, and injured it; he cut the index finger of his right hand with his own knife, while he was putting on his boot, and he knocked himself ab > ut while he was delirious, and rolled out of his berth. The captain admitted to Dr Giles, a physician and surgeon at Limehouse, that he had beaten the deceased with, a rattan thong as big as the ring on his finger, and that all the crew had beaten him because he was a skulker and to make him work. The captain, at this interview, said, " I know you are a clever fellow, Dr Giles; blush over this matter, and I'll give yon £ 7." Dr Giles indignantly rejected the bribe. Death was attri- buted to congestion of the brain.— Mr Woolrycli, after hearing the evidence, intimated that he w ould commit the prisoners for trial, but remanded them for the cc mpletion of the depositions. He admitted them to bail, but directly they were set at liberty they were apprehended under the coroner's warrant and conveyed to Newgate. PASSING EVENTS. Lord Palmerston has been appointed president of a society for the protection of salmon in the river Test, in Hampshire. Mr Crampton, ex- puisne judge of the Irish Court of Queen's Bench, died on Monday at his residence, near Enniskerry, aged 81 years. He retired from the bunch in 1858. COLLIERY ACCIDENT ASD LOSS OF TWELVE LIVES.— Early on Monday morning a frightful accident occurred at one of the pits of the Lilleshall Colliery Company, situate at Priors Lee, near Shiffnal, by which twelve persons lost their lives. It ap- pears that the men were being set down the shaft to their work, snd that nine men and three boys had got^ into the cage at once and were being lowered, when one of the pins of the gearing gave way, and they were all precipitated to the bottom of the shaft. They had a great depth to fall, and were all killed on the spot, the bodies being much mangled. This deplorable accident leaves five women widows, and 27 children fatherless. A BALLET GIBL ON FIKE AT THE BBIGHTON THEATSE.— On Saturday evening, Dec 27, an accident, which fortunately was not attended with such serious results as was at first anticipated, oc- curred to one of the ballet girls at this theatre. During the re- presentation of the pantomime, the performers were making pre- parations for the reception of one of the great personages, when one of the ballet girls approached too near the foot lights and her dress caught fire. Fortunately several gentlemen were on the stage, and succeeded in extinguishing the flames, and when order had been restored, the manager, Mr Nye Chart, handed in the poor creature in order to let the audience see that she was not so much injured as had been anticipated. RIVAL EDITORS.— A country newspaper thus " sews up" the editor of a rival journal:—" The editor of the Blankton Smasher seems to be much exercised about the tone of our paper. Did any of our readers ever see this man of the Smasher 1 Take a six bushel sack about as long one way as the other ; fill it with bran, hit both ends with a club, so as to swell it out largely in the centre. Scent it well throughout with bad whisky and onions, and you have him phj sically, smell and all. Take a half- witted, well- fed Hottentot, eject into him the largest possible amount of conceit; extract from him three- fourths of his brains, and all his moral principle ; beat him over the head until he forgets what little he did know, and you have him intellectually." EXECUTION AT WINCHESTER.— On Tuesday morning, Dee 30, Ferdinando Petrina, an Austrian seaman, was executed at Win chester for the murder of one Jones, on the high seas, on Oct 4. It will be remembered that the convict at the same time mur- dered the captain and mate of the ship, as well as the captain's wife, although he was only tried on the one charge. He made an attempt to intimidate the crew and obtain possession of the ship ; but they rose upon him, and, steering for Rio Grande, gave him up to the British Consul there, by whom he was sent to South- ampton, where he arrived shortly before the last Winchester Assizes, at which he was tried. THREE HORSES KILLED BY OILCAKE.— The South Eastern Gazette states that during last week Mr John Sills, stone mer- chant, of Maidstone, sustained a very serious loss. On Wednes- day a barge belonging to Mr Sills had brought a freight of oil- cake to one of the wharves at Maidstone, and after the barge had been cleared the sweepings were gathered up by the cap- tain and taken to Mr Sills's stable. On Christmas Day a quantity of these sweepings was given to three valuable horses, and after they had eaten about half a pint each they all became very ill. As they continued ts get worse it was decided to take two of them to a veterinary surgery, but they fell down dead on the waj'. The third was alive a few days since, but no hopes were entertained of its recovery. A portion of the cake was given to a number of rabbits, some of which died shortly after eating it. The remaining por- tion is to be subjected to an analysis. THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.— On Tuesday Colonel Yolland, R. E., the Government Inspector of Railways, made aiaother trip along this line. Messrs Tanner, Fenton, Johnson, Spagnoletti, and other officials were present. The train, consisting of an engine and carriage, started from Paddington about 11: 50 a. m., along the up- line to Farringdon- street station. After a careful examination of the altered signals and the electric indicators which have been constrmted for the purpose of showing the position of the distant signals, the train returned over the down line of rails to Paddington. The result of this further investiga- tion is the removal of all opposition to the immediate opening of the railway on the part of the Board of Trade. The public opening is, however, again postponed till Saturday, the 10th of January, while the inauguration banquet is expected to come off on Wednesday next, the 7th of January. The banquet- room is being gorgeously decorated for the occasion. MORE FIRES AND LOSS OF LIFE.— On Tuesday afternoon, about four o'clock, a fire was discovered at the house No. 3, Little Thames- street, Greenwich, occupied by an aged couple, John and Sarah Keys. With the assistance of some neighbours the fire was speedily extinguished, when the lifeless body of Sarah Keys, shockingly burnt, was found in the room in which the fire commenced. From the appearance of the unfortunate woman's clothing, it is evident that she must have been sitting by the fire, and that her dress, having become ignited, set fire to the premises. Her husband was from home at the time, but arrived while the fire was being put out to find his wife a corpse. The deceased was 68 years of age. On the same morning, about a quarter past seven o'clock, a fire broke © ut in the premises of Mr Atkins, boot and shoe manufacturer, Church- street, Rother- hithe. The inmates fortunately succeeded in effecting a safe retreat, and the engines promptly attended, but, in spite of all exertions, the flames could not be conquered until they had passed through every portion of the house. The damage is con- siderable, and at present it is unknown whether the sufferer was insured or not. A fire also took place on the premises of Messrs J. T. Bellinger and Co, grocers and tea- dealers, carrying on business at Nos. 80 and 81, Aldgate. The discovery was made by some of the inmates, who fortunately succeeded in extinguishing the fire before the arrival of the engines, and before it had extended beyond the third floor. DEATH OF AN EXTRAORDINARY CHARACTER.— A Yorkshire- man, Mr David Greenbury, died at Scarborough on Sunday of diphtheria, aged 48. In early life he was a coal porter at Malton ( where he wa3 born), and after a short religious profession be- came a notorious pugilist. In this line he was famed throughout the country, and used to fight with one hand, having the other tied behind him. He was given to the perpetration of the wildest freaks, one of which consisted of carrying a live donkey to bed to his parents. He was upwards of six feet two inches in height, and had immense strength, and constituted himself the defender of the weak and defenceless. He was at last defeated by a little man, and was so exasperated that he bit off part of his opponent's ear. This was his last fight, and in 1841 he set off to Seamer fair, on what he said should be his last " spree.'' A gen- tleman on the coach gave him a tract, which contained the old hymn beginning " Stop, poor sinner," & c. These words acted so much upon Greenbury's mind that he returned home a penitent. He was afterwards for some years a preacher among the Wes- leyaiis, chiefly at Scarborough and Malton, but, being uneducated, his discourses were chiefly narrations of his own mad tricks in early life. His name was of itself sufficient to fill the chapels. He went about the country exhorting for some time, and even- tually married a lady with a competence. Probably no York- shireman ever attained such great notoriety by means so diame- trically opposite.— Manchester Examiner. .
