Boards, Esq, an extensive agriculturist and land agent, residing at Ed- monton, Middlesex :— " Nightingale Hall, Edmonton. " Dear Sir : I have recently suffered much from a most violent cough, proceeding from a tickling in my chest, which no remedy, out of many I resorted to, could allay. My head was constantly aching, and my whole frame entirely shaken. Having seen the good effects of your Balsam of Aniseed in several members of my family, I purchased a small bottle, and when going to bed at night took a teaspoonful in two table spoonfuls of water just warm. The effect was immediate; it arrested the tickling in my chest, I slept well, and arose perfectly re- stored in the morning, with the exception of debility, arising from fatigue by incessant coughing for some days previous." My cough en- tirely left me, and has never returned. Having since heard of a lady in the neighbourhood who for a long time had laboured under a most dis- tressing cough, and who had resorted to every remedv within her know- ledge, I sent the remainder of the bottle to her; and that long- stauding, obstinate and( as she thought) incurable cough was perfectly cured. You are at perfect liberty to make what use you may please of this communi- cation.— I am, dear sir, yours very truly, " Wm. Boards. " To MrThos. Powell."

Twee- land, 20, Bartholomew- close, said that on Thursday, Jan I, de- ceased was engaged in removing the holly and other Christmas decorations from over the mantelpiece. A branch of holly fell inside the fender and blazed up, setting fire to her crinoline, which w as extended by means of steel hoops. The hoops pre- vented her gathering her clothes together, and her efforts to ex- tinguish the flames only caused them to burn more fiercely. In her agony and terror she rushed downstairs into the yard, where a policeman and others ran to her aid.— Mr George Humphreys, house surgeon, said that deceased was brought to the hospital on a shutter, still burning. Her injuries were fearful, her body being completely charred, except where the stays afforded a slight pro- tection.— The coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict that deceased was burned to death by misfortune. UNUSUALLY HIGH TIDES.— The tides on Thursday - were un- usually high in the river Thames. This extraordinary flow of water is to be attributed to the south- westerly winds that have prevailed for some days, and to the freshes from the tributary streams, which are over- swollen, owing to the recent heavy rains. In the morning the Thames in many places overflowed its banks, inundating the low- lying wharfs and landings on the Surrey side of the river, by which much damage was occasioned ; large tracts of marsh land in Kent and Essex are laid under water; and the flat country in the vicinities of Longford, Langley, and Poyle is inundated by the overflow of the Colne. The swollen state of the river Brent has caused much damage to the growing crops in the vicinity. The tide in the afternoon did not rise so high as that of the morning, but it was expected that the early tide of Friday would be higher than that of Thursday, and to preclude damage the requisite precautions had been taken. FUTURE MOVEMENTS OF THE ALABAMA.— Much speculation continues to exist regarding the future movements of this steamer. " We are enabled to state on the best authority ( says the Liverpool Journal of Commerce) that Captain Semmes intends to sail imme- diately for the East Indies. This contemplated change of cruising ground on the part of the Alabama has been known for some ANSWERS TURF.

It is a great pleasure to be able, honestly, to speak well of any one. But the pleasure is enhanced if the person spoken of is one who, at the moment, is under a cloud of misfortune. For them the praise is at once a just tribute to merit and a consolation under misfortune. General Burnside is in the position of misfort tune, and is entitled to the consolation of praise. He has fough- a great battle and lost it, and must expect, and cannot avoid, criti cism on his military capacity. But the circumstances under which that battle was fought led to the belief that he had fought it without any regard to anything except orders from the officials at Washington. Had that been the cause, great would have been their fault in giving such orders, but heavy also would have been his fault in obeying them. The belief which existed in the mind of everybody he has dis- proved. The authorities at Washington did not foolishly command — he did not slavishly obey. Whatever was the mistake in fighting he declares was his own. With a manliness which disdains all subterfuge, with a truthfulness and conscientiousness which will not allow any one to be suspected of deserving censure for an act which was entirely his own, he takes on himself all the blame for what has occurred. He acted for the best, with the best inten- tions, to the best of his judgment, and failure, deep and sad failure, will not make him equivocate about the matter. He puts himself forward to answer for everything The American letters say that his manliness in thus taking on himself the responsi- bility of the whole business has won him more hearty sympathy than his achievement of a victory would have won him praise. We can well believe it; and it honours the American people almost as much as it honours him. We owe him an apology, and tender it with sincere goodwill. Like all the rest of the world we believed that, to please the Washington Government, he had done that which General M'Clellan had refused to attempt, and we joined in the general censure upon an officer who, for any such rea- son, exposed his troops to slaughter. The belief was not founded on fact, and the censure was, therefore, wholly undeserved. If what General Burnside did was a mistake, it was one of those mistakes to which human beings are always liable. It was dic- tated by the best motives, it was adopted upon careful reflection, and every one knows that it was executed with great courage. With still greater, and much rarer, courage, the responsibility of it is now honestly assumed, and no Napoleonic selfishness and untruth in casting the blame of the misfortune upon others can be charged against the gallant though unfortunate Federal chieftain. + THE IONIAN ISLANDS. Whatever opinion there may be as to the wisdom or folly of the proposed cession of the Ionian Islands, there can be but one as to the injudiciousness of the form, in which the proposal to cede them has been communicated to the world— Earl Russell's " me- morandum;" which, strangely enough, could not be sent to Greece without giving an Elliott the pleasure of a trip to Athens. Mr Scarlett is there in full power as Minister Plenipotentiary, and has not, so far as the public have yet been informed, been cen- sured, certainly he has not been recalled, for incompetence. But it was necessary that, the " memorandum'' should be delivered, and this work of a courier has been deemed ( and probably is) quite the fitting employment for the talents of an Elliott. So he is sent to deliver it. Well, what is this " memorandum ?'' It is addressed, in substance at least, to the President of the Provisional Government of Greece, and written in the style in which a country schoolmaster would write to a naughty boy, whom he desired by promises of buns and cakes to bring back to the ways of orderly behaviour. The solemn insignificance of the style leaves no doubt as to its authorship— and the simile of the naughty schoolboy to be coaxed into propriety is forcibly presented to the mind by the last sentence, " A prince possessing these qualities will befitted to promote the happiness of Greece, and will be honoured with the friendship and confidence of Her Majesty the Queen." Change the words " Prince" into " boy,'' " Greece" into " his parents," and " the Queen" into " his schoolmaster,'' and the pedagogue's letter is unmistakable. The matter may be serious enough, but in the form the ridiculous prevails over the serious. There is something else, however, for which Earl Russell will have to answer. He has yet to show that, without consulting Parliament, he can give away the possessions of this country by his own mere will. We will say nothing of how some of those islands were aoquired— all of them have cost English blood and money. In arranging the terms of a peace the Crown may, by its Minister, consent to give up conquests— peace is the price paid for the concession— but after the peace has been settled, and the pos- sessions have been long those of the country, and when nothing but a Minister's " idea" is to be gratified by their surrender, i will not be easy to show by what rule, even of Prerogative itself they are to be surrendered without the consent of Parliament. And then what is to be said of the other European powers who have the right to look on Great Britain continuing the possession of them as a matter of political contract ? AUSTRIA AND PRUSSIA, The King of Prussia is playing a dishonest and a desperate game. If any mischief should happen to the dynasty it will be his fault He fancies that he can coerce the deputies into yielding up all that is necessary to the very existence of Constitutional Go- vernment. For a time the customs, habits, and practices of despotism which have so long existed, and have not yet lost all their influence in Prussia, will enable him to do as he wishes; but though they may do so for a time, they cannot do so perma- nently. " The evil hour will come." If he will so act as to render inevitable its arrival, no one will pity him for anything it may inflict upon him, Living above two hundred years after our Charles II., lie is striving, just as Charles II. did, to make him- self an absolute sovereign. He has tried threats— they have failed ; he is trying fraudulent schemes— they will fail too ; and, since they are directed not merely against the Prussians, but against a foreign country, at the least as powerful as Prussia is, the failure may not only inflict unmerited suffering on Prussia, but ( and in such a case no one would pity him) destruction on himself. The King, and his absurd Minister, Bismarck Schonhausen, have endeavoured to put the disputes between the Crown and the Parliament on a false issue; they have tried to represent that the object of the Government was to remodel the army for the best qjt national purposes; the country7 knows that the representation i8 untrue. The Municipality of Berlin has already, in decorous terms, but with great distinctness, suggested what is the real question in issue. The address of the capital will be re- echoed by all the municipalities that have strength enough to dare to speak the truth. The miserable addresses adhering to the Go- vernment and vituperating the representatives, which have been got up by the Minister and his agents, in little unknown places, are simply ridiculous, as ridiculous in their professions as they are false in their statements. The King and the Minister havebegun the contest which must either make Prussia really constitutional, or must sink it into autocracy. Their soheme now is to effect their home conquest of liberty by war abroad for dominion. They are falling into the condition which the proverb notifies— they are becoming mad as the first step to inevitable ruin. Their scheme is one of the most commonplace kind— the old trick of wom- out intellects adopting a warn- out practice. They threaten a foreign war in order to divert public attention from liberty and improve- ment at home. M Schonhausen is reported to have mimicked, in his address to the Austrian Minister at Berlin, the threatening violenoe of language which on Jan 1, 1859, Louis Napoleon used towards the Austrian Minister in Paris. The blunderer does not see the immense difference between the two cases, and of course he is totally blind to the difference, in all respects, between the French Emperor and the Prussian King. It is almost the differ- ence between my lord and his lacquey— it is almost the farce of " High Life Below Stairs" played on a political stage. In 1859 the Austrian Court was in the wrong, and had European opinion generally against it; but there was at one time a possibility that Germany might fancy itself interested in the question, and might come to the aid of Austria. In 1863 the Prussian Court is in the wrong; Prussia itself can hardly support its King, for the contest he would provoke with Austria has no object so urgent as that of enabling him to ride roughshod over the liberties of the Prussian people ; and Germany, so far from siding with him, is likely, if it enters on the contest at all, to take part against him. For Ger- many is not blinded to the wilful and criminal selfishness of his acts, nor to the fraudulent and tyrannical objects he purposes by those acts to accomplish. , The Austrian court, toe, has at this moment done something so prudent, honourable, and wise, as to present a striking contrast to the foolish and discreditable course of the Prussian King. The budget voted by the Reichsrath at Vienna has been submitted to, and at present the reality of parliamentary government is there established. The Prussian King hopes to crush the existence of all parliamentary government. Germany oannot hesitate as to its choice between the two sovereigns, and since the pretence of the quarrel with Austria is their mutual contest for precedency in the Diet, and for influence and authority in the Confederation, Germany must needs select that crown which most fairly pro- mises for the liberty and prosperity of its subjects. And we can hardly fancy the Prussians so much to have lost that good sense for which we give them credit, as to believe that any pretence of national supremacy, or of military glory, will make them willing to join in cursing Fatherland with war, and in riveting the chains of military despotism round their own necks. TURKEY. The telegrams of Monday brought a piece of intelligence of & very startling kind. After pacifying Syria and rendering abor- tive French intrigue, after conquering Montenegro and defeating Russian mischievousness, after triumphing over both sets of schemers in the Cabinet as well as in the field, and, finally, after effecting a very important and financial reform for Turkey, Fuad Pasha has all at once ceased to be the Chief Minister of his Sovereign, and the Ministers who had been his colleagues in these great works were also said to be out of office. It seemed strange. In former times such changes were not at all wonderful. The caprice of a petted Bultana did such wings at any moment. But the pre- sent Sultan has the reputation of being a man of sense and of business, and, in Western Europe, the notion that he had been so swayed to dismiss an able and energetic Minister could hardly be admitted as possible. A settled belief in such a notion would be productive of incalculable mischief to the Sultan. The first thing that tended to re- assure the public mind in England was the an- nouncement that the successor of Fuad was a man not likely to be a mere Court favourite. Kiamil Pasha is to be the new Grand Vizier. Of his political capacity little is known. In one respect he has shown his ability to choose good administrative subordi- nates. In Mehemed Pasha, the new Minister of Marine, he has got a thoroughly good sailor and an honest man. Turkey has great men, and great men, too, sufficiently advanced in politi- cal life to enable the Sultan to constitute a new Cabinet which will effectively carry on the business of his Empire. Let us hope, for everybody's sake, that they may be installed in office. LIEUT COLONEL NORTH AND CAPTURED GUNS. Let those who think anything of Orders, Crosses, Statues, Memorials, the naming of Victories on Eegimental Colours, anything, in sliert, that can gratify the pride of the living hero, or perpetuate his meiftory when dead, beware. Lieut- Colonel North, M. P. for Oxfordshire, is determined to put down such follies. He has stated his intention at a town meeting at Oxford. He is as determined to abolish this vaingloriousness as Sir Peter Laurie was determined to abolish suicide, and he is likely to be as successful. He will not, however, make as iw. uch impression on the terrors of those whom he desires to control as did the worshipful knight in the City. For the City knight^ when he captured a would- be suicide, could, and did, inflict im- prisonment on the offender ; while Lieut- Col North can only in- flict a dull, bad speech on those who offend against his will. To be sure that is an infliction which all would wish to shun, and if they could not shun it their fate would be deplorable. But they can : they need not go through with the infliction, but may stop at any moment when the danger of a tendency to gape might superinduce mischief, or even at an earlier period, when it would only produoe snoring. And, perhaps, considering what is the oratorical reputation of Lieut- Colonel North in the House of Com- mons, very few will run any danger whatever by even making the attempt to master his mytliics. But it is the hard fate of editors to be compelled to read what no other people need venture on, and we have achieved the perusal of Lieut- Col North's oratorical outburst. We are still suffering frem the toil. We have not even the advantage of being excited to anger ; the feeling is one of a different kind. Yet, il that other feeling did not prevent it, there is amply enough to excite anger, for folly can be very provoking in more ways than by mere foolishness. By something which looks like a wilful dis- tortion of the facts, but which is probably only a hopeless igno- rance of them, the capture of Russian carmen by the English in stern and furious battle is put upon a footing with the capture of English cannon by the Russians when an English vessel, half split by striking on a rock, was sinking in the waves, and the Englisn sailors were almost engrossed with the earnest but fruitless efforts to save their ship by throwing the cannon overboard. Lieut- Col North seems incapable of perceiving the difference between the Russians exhibiting these guns as trophies, and the English exhibiting as trophies those which were captured in deadly con- flict, when English valour overcame the resistance of superior numbers, better position, and more numerous artillery. This is enough to testify as to the measure of his powers of comparison and reasoning. But, if another proof was required, if would be furnished by this : that, while he would not have the guns them- selves kept in a public place in this country, for sightseers to look upon, he " can understand" the having them melted into a pillar to be set to commemorate the victories in which they were won. Can the force of folly farther go ? The Oxford corporators have done a very silly thing, on the suggestion of a very silly speech. Tliey have'refused a place in Oxford to cannon captured by an English army, in which Oxfordshire regiments took a distin- guished part. SUNDAY TRAINS. With every disposition to do full credit to the archbishops and bishops of the Church of England, it is impossible to read their late memorial to the directors of railroad companies without re- calling to mind the tale of that well- informed Bourbon princess of former times, who having been told that the people could not ge^ bread, said that they might get those nice cakes, which, she thought, were quite as good. The heads of the Church wish to prevent " the running of excursion trains" on Sunday. Their third reason ( for they set forth " reasons'' for their wish) is —" Because, while we are anxious to secure the working classes the relaxation which they need, we believe that the abject can be obtained without encouraging the practice of travelling on the Lord's Day, as, for example, by affording them an opportunity of travelling at a cheap rate on a week day." What charming simplicity this " reason" shows. Do not let the poor have the bread, Dut they may have the cakes:— they will only cost twice as much. Anxious " to secure to the working classes the relaxation which they need," their lordships desire to make them pay doubly for it; first, by the price of the railway ticket, next by the loss of the day's wages. For, unfortunately, the most rev and right rev prelates have not obtained from the masters a declaration that whenever the workman and his family " need" an excursion to the sea coast, or to the green fields, the master will allow him the day and pay him wages all the same as before. When their lordships have obtained this concession from the masters, they may properly address the railway directors, but, until then, they are beginning their labours at the wrong end. It is not with any wish to desecrate the Sunday— it is, we firmly believe, very often with a view to make a day of innocent relaxa- tion, of which " relaxation'' their lordships confess that the work- man has " need,''— and always under the pressure of an inability to spare another day, that Sunday is the excursion day of the working man. Till some great changes come over society, so it must remain. In the fourth and fifth reasons their lordships refer to the fact that these excursion trains prevent the servants of the railway companies from having a day of rest on the Sunday. This is true, and the fact is to be deplored, but here is the very difficulty which is felt by every candid and thoughtful person when con- sidering the question'of Sunday travelling and Sunday exhibitions. He would get rid of this difficulty if he could, but he cannot. So he is compelled to accept the lesser of the two evils. He must con- sent to a partial working of the railway servants in order that the poor mechanic may have any enjoyment at all. Human nature is so constituted that few can have t> ny, excepting purely mental, recreation, without imposing on some others the necessity for labour. This is true, as well with relation to the necessities as to the pleasures of life. If you are not to fast all day you must em- ploy yourself, or some one else, in preparing your food ; and if rail way travelling, which may enable a working man to breathe for a few hours on a Sunday a pure atmosphere, such as he cannot enjoy during the rest of the week, and which may have the good effect of softening and purifying his feelings, as well as improving, his health, should be denied him, he would, if he did not sit V morose at home, walk, or ride by omnibus, to some open- air spot, and there employ labour to procure for him necessary re- freshment. If he went out, but went only to the outskirts of London, instead of going on some distant excursion, the labour of others would still be employed, and there would merely be a change of the persons employed, not a cessation of employment. If he went not out at all, there is sad reason to fear that his health, and his morals too, would not be benefited. He might not be inclined to visit the ohurch, whose great dignitaries had been the means of saying to him, " You shall not look through Nature up to Nature's God.'' If we could invent any scheme by which working men and their families could obtain relaxation without calling on others to labour on a Sunday we would do so; but we have not yet discovered such a scheme, and we strongly suspect that the arch- bishops and bishops have not been more fortunate. Under such circumstances, it is not probable that the memorial will have any practical effect. If working men are forcefully SUPPLEMENT TO BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JANUARY 11, 1863. prevented from changing on Sunday the air they have breathed, and the scenes they have seen, during all the other days of the week, there is little reason to expect that any great increase of religious feeling will arise among them. The admitted " need" of relaxation is great, and as the fresh sea, and the- clear sky, and the bright fields cannot be brought to them, they must go to seek those blessings; for blessings they are, and we suspect that the unrestrained enjoyment of them induces a kinder and a holier " peeling than weuld exist if that enjoyment was refused. 4 We will only just suggest that, if the memorial is well founded in reason, there are other trains besides " excursion trains," which are proverbially the workingman's trains, that ought to be prevented from running on Sunday. FO& EIGK" INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The Patrie says:—" The Emperor and Queen Victoria ex- changed New Year's congratulations through the-; telegraph." La France announces that a reinforcement of 4.600 men has been sent to the army in Mexico. The new number of the Revue des Deux Mondes draws a forcible picture of the distress in the cotton manufacturing districts of Normandy, and makes an eloquent appeal in their behalf, and rebukes the French press for its silence on the subject. In the department of Lower Seine alone 100,000 workmen— that is to say, 200,000 or 300,000 persons— are now reduced to absolute desti- tution, and their prospects show no chance of improvement for many months to come. According to the Archbishop of Kouen, the railway stations are besieged day and night by troops of chil- dren beseeching the charity of the passengers as each train arrives, and bands of hunger- stricken artisans wander about the country from farmhouse to farmhouse imploring shelter and bread. The Revue itself would not have dared to refer to this painful subject if an archbishop had not given it the opportunity of doing so by introducing it in a " pastoral letter." The spreading of news distasteful to the Government is a serious offence in France. The answer of the Emperor to the commonplaces of the Papal Nuncio, as the representative of the diplomatic body, was in these terms:—" The wishes which you express to me, in the name of the diplomatic body, touch me nearly. I am happy, at the com- mencement of the year, to see myself surrounded by the repre- sentatives of all the powers. They can testify to my desire to live with them in relations of friendship, so necessary to the security of the present and of the future.'' This seems commonplace too, but the Pays, dilating on it, says: " It is impossible not to see in the few words expressive of a desire to live on friendly terms with foreign powers, an allusion to ' events too recent for it to be necessary to recapitulate them.'" It thinks it pertinent to the occasion to say that the initiative of France spoke the first word of peace to America; that it was France who " allowed" England to pursue a p ® licy in Greece which it would perhaps have been dangerous to repress at first, and from which, thanks to France's " apparent indifference," a clear and distinct situation, free from all inquietude, will result; that France, after being " patient" with England, could, without difficulty, be " indulgent'' for Spain; that^ iothing can trouble the " serenity" of French policy; and that the Pope's nuncio must have understood the full im- portance of the Emperor's words. M Blanchet, commissary of police of the Saint Merri district, followed by a strong body, of police and some gendarmes, a few nights ago entered a low lodging- house in the Rue Maubuee, and arrested forty- five men, who had no papers of any kind, and were without apparent means of gaining a livelihood. What was their offence is not stated. La France denies that there is any foundation for the state- irent of The Times that it received a subsidy from the Govern- ment, and sets down the statement as an " absurd calumny." Does La France expect to be believed 1 According to La France, the governor of Gibraltar assembled the garrison on the 27th ult, and, in a " very animated speech," informed them " that there was no truth in the report of the in- tended cession of Gibraltar to Spain.'' This is a fine specimen of the canards with which the " inspired'' papers amuse their readers. The British army has nothing to do with politics, and is never addressed on the subject of politics. The Madrid papers, by the way, continue to assert that England intends t » abandon the key of the Mediterranean and give it up to Spain! SPAIN. In the sitting of the Congress, Senor Mazaredo strongly ap- pealed to Senor Salaverria not to arrange the settlement of the English coupons before England should have delivered up Gibraltar to Spain. Senor Salaverria said that the Government was not about to propose the settlement of the English coupons. Of course not; paying is disagreeable. The resignation of General Concha as ambassador at the Court of the Tuileries has been accepted by the Queen. There is a great court and priest intrigue against O'Donnell. It is asserted that he is determined to dissolve the Congress, and to make an appeal to the country, should his policy be opposed by the Deputies. ' BELGIUM. La France says:—" The chief of the private cabinet of the King of the Belgians has been sent to Lisbon on a mission, the object of which is said to be to determine King Ferdinand to accept the Crown of Greece." ITALY. Count de Launay was only summoned to Turin to confer with the Minister for Foreign Affairs. The Government had no inten- tion of replacing him. He has since left for Berlin. Parliament will re- open between the 20th and 25th of January. The com- mission appointed to inquire into the causes of brigandage will shortly leave Turin. According to the Italie, the following is the substance of the answer of the King of Italy to the deputation of the Chamber. It is necessary to quote it, as it reconciles the very different versions that have already been given of that speech by the tele- graph. After acknowledging the good wishes of the deputation, the King said:—" Let us all unite to offer our good wishes to the nation. The year 1862 has not fulfilled the auspicious promises it held out to us at the outset. Let us hope that the year 1863 may be more favourable. Trust in me, who have devoted my life to the national cause. Last year we experienced many annoyances ( contraricUs); a few forgot their duty, and occasioned a disturbance of the public peace. We require concord to be able to continue our advance. Happily the organisation and discipline of the army are im- proving every day, and the army is the safest guarantee of our rights. However, the army will only be available when the Nea- politan provinces that absorb a lage portion of it are purified ; therefore, our common efforts must henceforth be directed to that end, and we must hope with all our hearts that it may be soon attained. The nation cannot indulge in happy dreams, but must devote itself to facts and resolute actions. Eely on me as I rely on you.'' Victor Emmanuel is, beyond question, " in the fight, a warrior grim," but his qualifications as an orator are very limited. His allusion to Aspromonte was neither dignified nor timely, and it argues no small want of tact to introduce it into an appeal for " concord." His admission of the condition of the'Neapolitan provinces shows that no reliance is to be placed in statements which announce the extirpation of brigandage. Some individuals belonging to the lower class of the population in Naples endeavoured to get up a demonstration, and raised cries hostile to the Government. About fifteen of them were arrested, among whom were two curates, some priests, and a colonel for- merly in the Bourbon service. Documents were found upon the latter relating to a revolutionary conspiracy. Apetard was thrown down, and exploded near the house of the General of the National Guard, but without doing any damage. The population remained perfectly quiet. „ . ,. A published circular of the Minister of the Interior directs the prefects to push forward the formation of 220 battalions of the mobilised National Guard, and not to defer it later than the 20th inst, at which date all the operations necessary for carrying out this measure will have been completed. A photograph is circulating at Milan which represents Dr Za- netti at the moment when he is extracting from the foot of Gari- baldi the ball of Aspromonte. On the reverse of the photograph are the following words in Italian :—" Garibaldi, faithful to the King, risked his life while shouting ' Rome or death ;' to which the King answers ' Die!' " Intelligence received from Palermo announces the escape of 180 convicts from the galleys. AUSTRIA" AND PRUSSIA. The French Pays says :—" It is asserted that Herr von Bismark- Schonhausen recently said to the Austrian ambas- sador at Berlin, Count Caroly, ' Affairs cannot remain much longer as at present between Austria and Prussia. The in- fluence of the Cabinet of Berlin must predominate in Northern Germany. Austria must cease to annoy Prussia by means of the small German states, and must especially abandon her project of delegates. If not, Austria must be responsible for the conse- quences. The first step taken by Prussia would in that case be to recal her representative at the German Diet.' ' Then,' added Herr von Bismark, ' we shall see what will follow. If things come to a crisis in Hanover and Hesse, the Prussian troops will at once occupy those states without further warning.' " The Pays adds;—" The above speech of Herr von Bismark- Schonhausen is given almost verbatim in his own words, but the inoident will, nevertheless, have no farther consequences." Is this sneering addition warranted ? TURKEY. Mehemet Ali, the Capitan Pasha ( Minister of Marine), has been dismissed. Mehemed Pasha has been appointed his successor. Euchdi Pasha, Seraskier( Minister of War), has been dismissed, and is to be succeeded by Rachid Pasha. Halil Pasha has been nominated Grand Master of the Artillery. Kiamil Pasha has been appointed Grand Vizier, in place of Fuad Pasha. The resignation of Aali Pasha has not been ac- cepted, and it is expected that he will remain in office. The latest despatches received from Constantinople assert that the changes in the Ottoman Ministry will be confined to those already known. AMERICA. Great excitement prevailed at Washington and throughout the country, on account of the different rumours concerning a cabinet crisis, and the resignation of the Premier and other members of the cabinet. Seward and Chase both tendered their resignations, but, at the request of Mr Lincoln, resumed their offices. A Philadelphia paper publishes an account of the forthcoming report of the committee on the conduct of the war, from which it appears that General Burnside's original plan was to move sud- denly to Fredericksburg, cross there, and push rapidly on to Richmond. He expected to get thirty or forty miles south be- fore the rebels came up, and if they gave him battle he felt per- fectly confident of his ability to crush them, and drive them into their works at Richmond. He was promised pontoon bridges and supplies from Falmouth. General Sumner reached there, but found no bridges or supplies. This was the fatal omission that saved the rebel army and capital. It gave them a delay of ten days, in which the heights opposite were fortified. Jackson and Hill arrived by forced marches, and every available rebel soldier in Eastern Virginia reached Btirnside's front. At last the Federal army" was ready to move. Several plans were proposed. General Burnside was to carry the first line of rebel works by storm, and then follow them so rapidly that they could not make a stand behind the others, when they were to be driven by the reserves until decimated, and forced to surrender or disperse among the mountains. The plan was approved by the leading generals except General Hooker, who dissented, but agreed to lend his energies to the attack. It was endorsed by General Halleck, whe had previously issued orders that the rebels must be attacked. General Meigs throws the blame of the non- arrival of the pontoons on the engineers, but General Hallecksays they are in no way responsible for any details regarding the move- ment. General Woodbury says the delay was on account of their not having started in time, and bad roads. The blame rests with the military men. President Davis has issued a retaliatory proclamation, to the effect that General Butler, or any of his commissioned officers, if captured, shall be delivered to the States where they belong, to be dealt with according to the laws of those States. Commissioned office re commanding slaves will be delivered to the authorities of the States where they may be captured. The Confederates have re- captured the town of Holly Springs, and destroyed 200 waggons, cotton, commissary stores, ammunition, & c, valued at 500,000 dollars, and burned Union City. The Confederates have burned the bridge over the Obion River, cutting off Jackson in Tennessee from Columbus and Cairo. A bill brought in by Secretary Chase gives authority to raise 300,000,000 dollars for the service of the current year, and 600,000,000 dollars for the service of the next year, in any mode sanctioned by Congress. This bill includes the issue of Six per Cent Bonds, 7.30 per Cent Bonds, and Seven per Cent Bonds ; also the issue of small notes, bearing 3.65 per cent interest, and of legal- tender notes, bearing no interest. It has been discovered that immense frauds have been committed on the Government by the persons raising regiments, furnishing army supplies, main- taining troops, or eft gaged in other Government contracts. A decision of the Attorney- General, Mr Bates, fully establishes tbat coScur is no bar to citizenship under the United States constitu- tion. Orders for supplies for the French army in Mexico con- tinue to be received at New York. MUSIC AND BE AM A. ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA.— The opera of " The Bohemian Girl," in a compressed form, has preceded the new pantomime every night until Monday'last, when Mr Howard Glover's opera of " Ruy Bias" was specially revived. It had not previously been played since the close of the year 1861, but our musical readers will doubtless remember the merits and demerits of Mr Glover's operatic production. Parts of the opera strike the eat' as being full of melody and nice instrumentation, whilst others, again, seem heavy and without purpose. It had the advantage of being remarkably well executed by all parties concerned on the occasion of its revival, Miss Louisa Pyne, as the heroine, sing- ing her very best, and giving full effect to the taking song " A sympathising heart,'' and Mr Santley, whose singing and acting improves on every night of his appearance, sang the grand scena allotted to his part with a lyric fire and expression not to be sur- passed. Madame Laura Baxter took the part of the page for the first time, and gave her one solo with oapital spirit. Mr Lyall also sustained Mr St Albyn's old character of Don Caisar with great credit, whilst Mr Harrison gained an encore for his steady delivery of the ballad " Beside her lattice," and acting with more than his accustomed spirit as the lackey. It is scarcely neoessary now a day to praise the band, which, under the able presidency of Mr Mellon, is all that operatic ears could wish for, but it cer- tainly? was in the most perfect order on Monday night. A rumour was current in thehouse that a new opera, entitled " Marie Tudor," the music by Balfe, the words by Bridgman, will be the next novelty to be produced. From the title and its surroundings it is to be presumed that the nature of the music will be of a purely tragic cast, and as such to be looked forward to with some interest. HAYMAEEET THEATRE.— The Prince of Wales, accompanied by Count Gleichen, and attended by General Knolly's and Capt Grey, honoured this theatre with his presence on Monday even- ing, Jan 5, to witness Mr Sothern's inimitable impersonation of Lord Dundreary, an additional feather in the cap of the actor, in- asmuch as it was the first theatre in which the prince had been since the retirement of the royal family. ST JAMES'S THEATKE.— Unaided by any model from the French school, and untainted with the slightest suspicion of a plagiarism, Mr Arthur Sketchley has given us a really admirable little drama. The " Dark Cloud" is an undoubted success. It is the old, old story, but none the worse for that. A woman marries a second time, and but few questions are asked about husband number one. There is, however, in reality a something in the background, and the wife, knowing only too well how misconstrued it might be, Daturally dreads a disclosure. The disclosure, and all that came of it, make up the main features of the piece. We have no hesita- tion in saying that the acting is thoroughly well up to the mark throughout. An " after dinner" scene in the drawing- room, with all its elaborate by- play and action, is really as good a thing of its kind as we have seen for some time. The acting of Mr and Mrs Frank Matthews never goes begging for praise, and the excessive grace and ladylike bearing of Miss Herbert cannot fail to attract a host of admirers; and when we add to this Miss Adeline Cot- trell and a very promising novice, Mr Stirling, we may very fairly be understood to imply that both author and actors may congratu- late themselves on the present success and bright future in store for the " Dark Cloud." MB HOWAED GLOVEK'S CONCERTS.— One of those monster concerts, which it seems is the especial delight of Mr Howard Glover to give to his friends, the public, at this season of the year, came off on Saturday afternoon, Jan 3, at the St James's Hall, before an audience who appeared fully to appreciate the unusual number of musical plums offered for their entertain- ment. We have not space to give our readers even a tithe of the talent, both vocal and instrumental, engaged for the occasion. The pieces sung by the London Glee and Madrigal Union and by the Vocal Association were admirable for their effectiveness. Mr Sims Reeves sang " Polly Stewart," a new song of Mr Glover's own composition, and joined Mr Santley in the ever popular and thoroughly English duet of " All's Well," and a Miss Kilpack won the attention of the audience by her fine qualities as a debu- tante pianiste. The concert lasted till long after nightfall. CANTERBURY MUSIC HALL.— The holiday attractions furnished by the spirited proprietors of this excellent establishment are quite equal to those of former years, and the crowded state of the hall has nightly proved the appreciation of the public of the efforts made by the management to afford a rational evening's amuse- ment. The third edition of Mr E. Marshall's now celebrated " pantomimical" entertainment, " TheEnchautedHash," has been received with undiminished favour. The subject chosen by Mr Marshall this year is " The Children in the Wood," and the celerity and ingenuity with which he appears in the different characters of the fable, from the " wicked uncle" down to ( with the aid of a most comical dummy) the unfortunate infants themselves, are productive of unbounded merriment and applause. Subsequently, as Britannia, Mr Marshall transforms himself into the usual Christmas quartette, and acquits himself of the " busi- ness" incidental to the harlequinade with the utmost agility and comic humour. The operatic selections are, as usual, given to perfection, Miss Russell's magnificent voice and accomplished singing being greeted as heretofore with rapturous applause. A rara avis, in the shape of a comic singer possessed of real humour, has also recently appeared in the person of a Mr Arthur Lloyd, whose ditties are met with much laughter. DEATH OF MR CHARLES DANCE, THE DRAMATIC AUTHOR.— Mr Charles Dance, the dramatic writer, died on Monday, at Lowestoft, in his 69th year. He had suffered for some time with disease of the heart. Besides being well known as a dramatic writer, and the founder, it may be said, of the burlesque school of entertainments, he was successively registrar, taxing officer, and chief clerk of the late Insolvent Debtors' Court, where he had held office for more than thirty years. When Madame Vestris held the Olympic theatre, Mr Dance was one of the stock writers. Among his successful productions were " Beulah Spa," " The " Morning Call," " The Country Squire," & c. He was a member of the Garrick and other clubs, and known to a large circle for his social and convivial qualities. Before the New Bankruptcy Act abolished the Insolvent Debtors' Court, Mr Dance retired on a superannuation allowance of £ 800 a year, which allowance he has not long enjoyed. Although twice married he has left no children, and had survived both his wives. Mr Dance had resided in Mornington- road, Regent's Park, and retired to Lowestoft for the benefit of his health. NEW BARONETS.— The Globe gives a complete list of the new baronets. They are— Mr William Brown, of Liverpool; Mr Frank Crossley, of Halifax, M. P. for the West Riding; Mr David Baxter, of Dundee; Sir Daniel Cooper, the First Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales; Mr Henry Rich, for many years a constant supporter of Liberal principles in the House of Commons; and Mr Thomas Davies Lloyd, of Bronwydd, a Welsh gentleman of ancient lineage, and very popular throughout the Principality. THE COURT.— THE PRINCE OF WALES'S MARRIAGE.— We are authorised to state that, upon the occasion of the arrival in this country of the Princess Alexandra of Denmark, previous to her marriage, early in March, with the Prince of Wales, her royal highness will land from Her Majesty's yacht V ictoria and Albert, at Gravesend, where her royal highness will be received by the Prince of Wales. Their royal highnesses will then proceed to London, and will be conveyed in Her Majesty's carriages, with military escort, through the metropolis to Windsor Castle. We have also authority to state that it is the Queen's intention that, in the course of the year, levees shall be held, on the part of Her Majesty, by the Prince of Wales, and that drawing rooms shall also be held, on Her Majesty's behalf, by one of their royal high- nesses the princesses, her Majesty's daughters, or after her marriage, by the Princess of Wales. It is also the Queen's intention that, shortly after their marriage, the Prince and Princess of Wales shall hold, in Her Majesty's name, an evening reception at St James's Palace, at which the ladies and gentlemen invited by the Lord Chamberlain, by the Queen's command, shall have an opportunity of offering their congratulations to their royal highnesses. EAST KENT ELECTION.— On Thursday, Jan 8, Sir Edward Dering, the Liberal candidate, was returned for East Kent by a considerable majority over Sir N. Knatchbull. He is the first Liberal returned for East Kent since the passing of the Re- form Bill. MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS.— The 1st battalion 60th Royal Rifles ( Col Bingham) left the North Camp, Aldershett, on Thursday, Jan 8. Seven companies proceeded to the Tower, consisting of 17 officers, 33 sergeants, 15 drummers, 469 rank and file, 59 women and 60 children. Three proceeded to Woolwich, consisting of 4 offi- cers, 10 sergeants, 4 drummers, 185 rank and file, 17 women, and 20 children. The total strength of the regiment on marching out was 737 of all ranks, and 156 women and children. The 1st bat- talion 3d Buffs, Col J. A. Sargent, C. B., from the Tower and Woolwich, arrived at the North Camp on Thursday. Marching in strength it consisted of 27 officers, 43 sergeants, 21 drummers, 715 rank and file, 73 women, and 81 children. The total strength was 958. The 3d Buffs occupy the G and H lines, North Camp, vacated by the 60th Rifles, and are attached to the 3d brigade. WESTMINSTER BRIDGE APPROACHES.— On Wednesday, by order of the Commissioner of Works and Public Buildings, a fur- ther sale of houses in New Palace- yard, opposite Westminster Hall, was effected by Messrs Glasier and Son, the Government auctioneers. The materials of the houses, three in number, which were of old standing, realised £ 228. Another lot will be disposed of in about a month; but it appears that this desirable improve- ment in connection with the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Bridge, and Bridge- street, where the traffic is inconveniently crowded, is likely to be delayed for some months more, in con- sequence, it is stated, of the remaining owners and occupiers standing to their leases, and " sticking out," as it is termed, on the score of compensation. LEICESTER- SQUARE, HAMMERSMITH, KEW, AND RICHMOND RAILWAY.— This new line will consist of five branches. The first is proposed to commends in Leicester- square, and thence under- ground to a junction with the West London Railway, and ter minate at about 90 yards of the Kensington station of that rail- way; the second will run from the Kensington station, and join the North and South Western Junction Railway, near Gunners- bury- lane, from whence the third will proceed on the south side of the road from Isleworth to Richmond, and terminate near Richmond Bridge. The next will be a continuation of the latter branch to near the Twickenham station of the London and South Western Railway, and the east line will commence by a junction with the Great Western and Brentford Railway, three miles from Southall, and terminate on land belonging to the Duke of North umberland, near to where the Great Western and Brentford goes over the loop line of the London and South Western; the whole at a total estimated cost of £ 990,000. THREE LIVES LOST ON THE RIVER IRWELL.— A fatal accident by which three young men lost their lives, occurred on the Eiver Irwell on Thursday afternoon, Jan 1. The young men were con- nected with the Holt Town Ragged School, and Thursday being New Year's Day several of the teachers took some of the pupils on the river. The deceased were Henry Simpson, 19; William Coyle, 19; and Henry Buckley, Pollard- street, 17; and the boat they engaged was under the charge of their teacher, Mr James Boyle, Every- street. The boat was hired at Blackfriars Bridge, and all went well till the party got opposite the Pomona Gardens. At that point the boat was upset. Buckley and Coyle were unable to swim, and sank immediately; the other two struggled to reach the shore. Boyle succeeded in doing this, but Simpson disap- peared under the water when within a few yards of the bank. The bodies of Simpson and Buckley were shortly afterwards re- covered, but the body of Coyle has not yet been found. SHAMEFUL FACTS.— A private letter from a soldier in Burnside's army to his mother in this city, written from Falmouth a day or two previous to thedisastrous battleof Fredericksburg, states that on the day when the letter was written there were brought into the dead house twelve dead bodies of our soldiers who had been frozen to death while on guard duty. He says several of the men were on guard duty without pantaloons, having had for two or three weeks only overcoats and drawers. The mercury on two nights sunk to 13deg and 14deg, and ice six inches thick floated in the river. Their shoes were in many instances almost worthless, being Massachusetts contract shoes, with soles glued on ; and the men were, moreover, half- starved. The writer had just received some money from home, and he says he devoted 25c. of it to the purchase of a quart of meal, which he stirred up with water arid boiled ; and he adds that it was the best dinner he had had for two or three months. There is a terrible responsibility resting on the heads of guilty contractors, quartermasters, and shoddy pa- triots generally, who have directly done so much to cause these evils. While white soldiers are absolutely freezing to death in Virginia, our Government is having 50,000 suits of clothes made in New York for negroes. And many thousands of dollars' worth of life- necessaries are sent abroad to help the suffering poor of Great Britain, while our own poor soldiers die of nakedness and starvation at home.— Hartford Times. ALARMING OMNIBUS ACCIDENT IN THE QUADRANT.— On Tues- day night, between ten and eleven o'clock, an omnibus which was specially engaged to take a a private party, consisting princi- pally of ladies, from St James's Hall to Brixton, left the hall with eleven persons inside. While going towards the Quadrant the pole snapped, which alarmed the horses, who started off at a terrific pace, and when in the centre of the Quadrant the omnibus struck one of the cast- iron lamp- posts with great force, and the vehicle was pitched over with a tremendous crash, the body being separated from the springs and wheels by the force of the concus- sion, and the driver's box being also shattered. How those in the vehicle, as well as the coachman on the box, escaped with their lives, appears miraculous. They were, of course, terribly shaken and scared, but were otherwise unhurt. The cause of the occur- rence is said to be the rottenness of the omnibus pole. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— A fatal railway accident occurred on Sunday night, at the Leyland station of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, about six miles from Preston. The train leaving the Preston station for Manchester at 10 minutes past six had just started from the first- named station, when a labouring man who resides in Leyland seized the handle of one of the car- riages with a view to get into the train, but, missing his footing, he fell on the line, when two or three of the carriages passed over his body. When taken up he was quite dead.

At the Central Criminal Court, on Wednesday, the trial of the persons charged with the Bank paper robberies, & c, took place. The whole of the prisoners, George Buncher, 40, described as a butcher ; Robert Cummings, 60, electro- gilder; William Burnett, 31, labourer; Richard Brewer, 34, mould maker; James Griffiths, 42, printer; and Henry Williams, 49, engraver, were placed at the bar at the opening of the court, in order that they might have an opportunity of challenging the jury, but none of them availed themselves of their right to do so.— The case that was first proceeded with included the prisoners Buncher, Brewer, Burnett, and Griffiths, and the specific charge made against them was that of forging and uttering a £ 5 Bank of England note. Two of these prisoners, Burnett and Griffiths, have already pleaded guilty to a portion of the charge preferred against them, but it was considered necessary that they should be tried with the other two prisoners. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, Q. C., and Mr Bovill, Q. C., were specially retained to conduct the prosecution, with Mr Gifl'ard and Mr Matthews on behalf of the corporation of the Bank of England. Mr Sergeant Ballantine and Mr D. D. Keene were specially retained, with Mr F. H. Lewis, to defend Brewer; and Mr Pater and Mr Greenock defended Buncher. Sir Fitzroy Kelly, in opening the case to the jury, said it would be his duty to state the circumstances under which the present charge was preferred against the four prisoners at the bar. He would state on the outset that they all appeared to have taken different parts in the transaction, and to have acted in the matter at different periods ; but the jury would be saved some trouble and difficulty in this respect by the fact that, by the statute law, every accessory to the commission of a felony was declared to be equally guilty with the principal felon, and might be legally oon- victed just the same as though they were principals. The whole of the prisoners were, therefore, substantially charged with the offence of forgery, and if the evidence made out to their satisfac- tion that they were concerned in the transaction, and that they had all assisted to commit the act imputed to them, either di- rectly or indirectly, they would be justified in convicting them upon the present charge. In the first place, it would be probably as well that he should give them some information with reference to the manufacture of the genuine notes of the Bank of England. He need hardly state that the most extreme and careful precautions were taken by the authorities of theBank of England to prevent their notes from being imitated either in the engraving or the paper, or in any other particular, and one portion of their arrangements with this view was that all the paper upon which the millions of bank notes that were circulated to the public was manufactured in a particular manner, and by a most expensive and careful process, at the mill of a gentleman named Portal, at Laverstoke, in Hampshire, whose family had performed the duty of manufacturing such paper for nearly a century and a half. When the paper was thus manufactured by the expensive and careful process to which he had alluded, it was sent to the Bank of England, where the notes were engraved and completed and made ready for circulation. The utmost care was of course taken to prevent all possibility of any person impro- perly obtaining possession of any portion of this paper, and among other precautions to effect this the mere possession of such paper was declared to be a felony; and it was obviously quite reasonable that this should be so, because no person would be entitled to have such paper in his possession for any honest pur- pose. For the length of time he had mentioned the paper had been exclusively manufactured at the mills of Messrs Portal, and it was undoubtedly most excellent and perfect for the purpose for which it was intended ; and it was certainly a very creditable fact to the present proprietor of the mills and to his family that since the year 1720, when the duty to manufacture Bank of Eng- land note paper devolved upon them, no amount of iagenuity had been able to procure improper possession of any portion of such paper, and not a single sheet of such paper iiad ever been abstracted until the present occasion. The mode in which the paper was manufactured had for 150 years defied imita- tion ; and apart from the clumsy manner in which forged notes were engraved, an examination of the paper of the most cursory kind was sufficient at once to detect the difference between the genuine and the spurious paper, and persons engaged in such transactions therefore felt the importance of obtaining possession of some of the genuine note paper, and they no doubt believed that if they could effect this object the forgery of Bank of Eng- land notes might be carried on with almost perfect impunity and to any extent. Sir Fitzroy then proceeded to say that it was not until the middle of the year 1862 that the discovery took place that a considerable quantity of the genuine Bank- note paper had been abstracted from the mills of Messrs Portal, and of course the most active steps were immediately taken to prevent the mischief that might arise from the engraving of forged notes upon such paper; but it was not until sometime after the discovery, namely, in August, 1862, that any forged notes printed upon the genuine paper that had been stolen were presented at the Bank of Eng- land for payment, and these were of the amounts of £ 5 and £ 10. The usual means were then taken to discover the guilty parties, and detective officers were employed to make the necessary in- quiries, and it was only due to those officers ( Inspectors Hamilton and Webb, and Moss of theCity police) to state that it was entirely through their energy, activity, and courage, which, he said, could not be too highly praised, the whole of the tacts connected with the transaction were discovered, and the prisoners at the bar and two other persons were committed to take their trial upon the pre- sent charge. The learned counsel then proceeded to detail the character of the evidence he proposed to lay before the jury as it affected each of the prisoners ; and he said that with regard to Griffiths, who had pleaded guilty, he appeared to have been taken into custody almost in the very act of forging Bank of England notes, and it was only fair to him to say that when he found he was in custody, and that he had no chance of escaping from the consequences, he appeared to be resolved to make a clean breast of it, and he admitted to the officers that for seventeen years he had printed the whole of the forged Bank of England notes that had been put in circulation ; and he believed there was no doubt that this was the fact, and he hoped that the public might be con- gratulated upon the probability that existed that by his appre- hension the offence of forging Bank of England notes would, for the present, at all events, be entirely put an end to. He said he felt it his duty to inform the jury that the case against the prisoners would depend a great deal upon the testimony of a young man named Henry Brown, who was employed at the paper mills, and by whom a considerable portion of the stolen paper was ab- stracted, and upon that of a woman named Ellen Mills, who had passed as the wife of the prisoner Burnett; and the evidence of the former would principally affect the prisoner Brewer, who held a responsible position at the mills. These persons, undoubtedly, were in the position of accomplices; but it was not necessary that he should remind the jury that it was very frequently quite im- possible to bring home great crimes to the guilty parties without the evidence of such persons, and the Bank of England, who merely came forward to prosecute in the interest of the public, selected those persons as witnesses whom they believed to be the least guilty and whose evidence was the most to be relied upon, in order that the persons who had committed this great crime might be brought to justice. ThewitnessSS towhomhehad referred would no doubt be made the subjects of attack by the learned counsel who appeared for the prison ers, but he would observe that as regarded the young man Henry Brown there was not the slightest assignable motive for his committing such an atrocious act as making a false charge of this description against the prisoner Brewer, and that the evidence given by him would be corroborated in many most important particulars. The present inquiry was un- doubtedly a most important one, and it was satisfactory to state that, although a considerable quantity of the genuine note paper was stolen from the mills, there was reason to believe that the prosecution had, through the activity of the police, obtained possession of the whole of the forged notes that were engraved upon any portion of it, and that the whole number of such notes did not exceed thirty- one £ 5 notes and four £ 10 notes ; and now that they had obtained possession of the plates from which all such notes had been printed, and the principal offender stood convicted at the bar of a court of justice, it was not too much to say that the offence of forgery of Bank- notes was virtually at an end. After the police had been examined, and the forged notes pro- duced, and proved by the Bank authorities to have been forged on Bank paper, Henry Brown was called and said : I am 21 years old. My father is employed at Messrs Portal's mills, and I used to assist him. I first became acquainted with the prisoner Bur- nett in May, 1861. He was living with his sister- in- law at the Three Horse Shoes public- house, Whitchurch, at this time. His wife first spoke to me about getting paper from the mills, and afterwards the prisoner also asked me to do so, and said he knew some one who would print it and pass it. I refused to do what he asked me, and Burnett and his wife pressed me to get some paper, and at length I did so. The first paper I took consisted of three sheets sufficient for six notes. I took the paper from the size drying machine. This machine is attended by two girls, who sit at each end of it, and one of them puts the paper in and the other takes it out. I put my hand into a part of the machine and snatched out the paper as it passed through The paper is put into the machine by two or three sheets together, but it is not always pulled outregularly. The girls could not seeine take outthe paper at the place where I stood, and it was my duty to see that the machine worked properly. The first paper I took was what is called " plain'' paper, which does not denote the amount of the note to be printed upon it, but which was complete in every other respect. I gave the three sheets of paper to Mrs. Burnett, and the prisoner Burnett afterwards asked me to get him some more, and I said I would see if I could. I did get some more, and the next I took was five sheets of £ 10 note paper, and I gave this to Burnett. He pressed me to get him more paper, ana I refused ; and he then said that if what I had already got was " tumbled" to he should very likely " split'' upon me. By " tumble" I thought he meant if it was found out. I was frightened at this, and took ten sheets of £ 50 note paper from the machine. As I was leaving the place I met the prisoner Brewer, and he asked me what I had got in my pocket. I said, " Nothing," and he replied that I had some paper. I again denied it, but he told me I had better take it out and take it back, or else he should tell the '' governor." I then said I would take it back if he did not tell, and returned to the machine- room. I did not put the paper back, and shortly after- wards Brewer asked me what I was going to do with the paper, and I told him I was going to give it to Burnett at Whitchurch. He asked what Burnett did with it, and I said that he knew some person in London who would print it and pass it. He again told me to put it back, but I did not do so, but gave it to Burnett and told him what had passed with Brewer. On the day after this I told him I had not had a chance of putting the paper back, and that I had given it to Burnett, and he told me not to take any more. Two or three days after this Burnett give me £ 4, and he said I was to give £ 3 to Brewer, the prisoner, and keep £ 1 for myself, and I did so. I told Brewer that Burnett HSd sent him the £ 3,- and he said he did not want any of Burnett's money, and he did not want to have inything to do with him. I told him he might as well have the money, and he then toek it. I afterwards told Brewer that Burnett's wife had said that " Fred" had not got the plate done yet. Brewer then asked me how much paper I had taken, and how much Burnett got a sheet for it, and I told him I did not think that he got anything for it. When I first saw Burnett I asked him who the man was that was making the plate, and he refused to tell me, and I informed Brewer what he said on the following morning, and he replied, " Oh, it is all right, he will be easily found out, I dare say." After this Burnett wanted me to get him some more paper, and I said I would try to do so, and I did get twelve sheets of plain paper and gave them to him. I saw Brown a day or two afterwards and tola him that I had given these twelve sheets to Burnett, and he said that was all right. I then told him that I intended to go to London to get work, and he said he thought it the best thing I could do. I in- formed Burnett that I was going to London, and he said I must get some more paper before I went. I told Brewer this, and he said I must please myself about that, and I took forty sheets of plain paper, and I then went to London with Burnett, and we went about to different places for five weeks, and I then re- turn ed to Whitchurch. The Burnetts supplied me with what I wanted while I stayed in London. I saw Brewer shortly after I returned, and he asked me what I was going to do, and I told him I should stay at home and see if I could get work there. Shortly before Christmas, 1861, I was at the Prince Eegent public- house at Whitchurch, and Brewer came in and asked me to have some brandy and water, and I did so, and we left the house to- gether and walked to Laverstoke, a distance of three miles. As we were going along he a'sked me if I knew where to find Bur- nett, and I said I knew where his brother lived, and most likely I could find him. He then said he wanted me to take some paper to him. On the following day I again saw Brewer at my father's shop. My father was there, and Brewer said that he wanted to borrow a saw, and one was given to him, and he went away. He returned in about an hour, and then said he had asked for the saw because my father was there. My father had left at this time. Brewer said then that he wanted me to take some paper to London, and I told him I did not know how to manage it, as my father would want to know where I got the money from to take me to London. After this I went to Portsmouth to see some of my relations, and I re- turned to Laverstoke about a fortnight after Christmas. Before I left Brewer told me I was to be sure to come back and see him at Christmas. I met him after my return as he was coming out of the mill yard, and he told me not to take any notice of him then, but to meet him at the Eed House public house at Whitchurch at eleven o'clock at night. I did as he proposed. He was in the parlour, and he came out, and I followed him, and we walked together to Laverstoke. On the way he again asked me if I could find Burnett, and told me I was to be sure not to say any- thing to any one about him. He then asked me to take two parcels, one to Burnett and another to a woman in black, whom I should see at the railway station, and who, he said, would come up to me, and he also said that he would write to her and tell her what sort of a " chap" I was. After this conversation he gave me two parcels, one for the prisoner Burn'ett, and the other for the woman. In the latter parcel there were 100 sheets of blank note paper, and in the one for Burnett there were 100 sheets of £ 5 note paper, and 76 of £ 10. I went by the parliamentary train, and when I arrived at the station in London a woman in black came up to me and asked me for the parcel, and I gave it to her, and she gave me half- a- crown. I discovered where Burnett lived, and gave I him the other parcel, and he gave me £ 3, and told me to give £ 2 to Brewer and keep the rest for my expenses. After this I went to Portsmouth, and then returned" to London, where I again saw Burnett, and he asked me to go down and see Brewer, and endea- vour to get some more paper, and he gave me money for my ex- penses. I went down to Laverstoke and saw Brewer, and told him that Burnett had sent me after some more paper, and he said it was all right, and told me to go into his office, and he then showed me a key, and said he wanted me to go to London and get one made like it. ( A key was here produced by Webb, the officer, and the witness said it was exactly like the one Brewer gave him.) Brewer told me that Mrs Burnett would inform me where I could get the key made. The next day he again gave me two parcels to take to London as I had done before, and he told me that they contained bank- note paper. I gave the second parcel to the woman at the railway station, and I also gave one to Burnett, and I also gave him the key that Brewer had given to me. At this time I went with Burnett to Strutton- ground, Westminster, for the purpose of seeing Buncher. He kept a butcher's shop in Strutton- ground. Burnett left me for about an hour, and when he returned he appeared to have plenty of money. Burnett had the bank paper with him at the time he left me. I went upon several other occasions with Burnett to 8trutton- ground, and each time he took paper with him. I remained with Burnett until after the reward of £ 1,500 was offered. I only saw Burnett actu- ally go into Buncher's shop once, but he always went in a direc- tion towards it. After Burnett had been several times to Buneher's he wished me to go down to Brewer again, and get some more paper; and he proposed that I should go round by- Portsmouth. Before I left Burnett gave me a key and £ 6, and told me to give £ 3 to Brewer, and to keep the rest myself. I gave Brewer the key he had given me, and told him the other was not made. I also gave him the £ 3, and asked him for more paper, and he said he could not give me any unless I stayed a fortnight. I told him I could not stay so long, and he then said I had better come down again in a fortnight. I went to London, and re- turned at the time stated, but got out at Basingstoke, and late at night I walked over to Laverstoke. Burnett acooinpanied me from London on this occasion, and he went on to Whitchurch. When I got to Laverstoke I went to Brewer's house, as he had directed me, and I slept there, and on the following morning he handed me two parcels of paper, and directed me to do with them as I had with the others, and he at the same time advised me to go to Basingstoke and sleep that night, and told me that I was not to come down for any more paper, as he thought they had " tumbled'' to it at the mill. I put both the parcels that Brown gave me into a black bag, and conveyed them to London, and the " woman in black'' met me at the station, and asked me for the parcel, and I told her I had not got one, and I gave both the parcels to Burnett the next day. The parcels I gave to him at this time contained plain and super paper. Burnett then told me that he had seen Brewer, and I must not go down any more for fear we should be found out On the day after I had given him this paper I and Burnett went to Strutton Ground, and he told me to carry the paper for fear any one should " collar'' him. He went into Buncher's shop with the paper, and stood there an hour, and he came back without the paper. He had no money when he went into Buncher's shop, but when he returned he had a " tidy lot.'' I remember the notice of the reward by the Bank coming out, and Burnett about tbat time told me I had better get out of the way, and he gave me some money, and I went down to Portsmouth. The witness, who gave his evidence with very great coolness and self possessien, was subjected to a most severe cross- examination, but his evidence was not shaken in any material degree. Ellen Mills, who had passed as the wife of Burnett, corrobo- rated this witness in many particulars. On Thursday a great deal of corroborative evidence was gone into, after which Mr Dusautry, foreman of the mills, was ex- amined. He said that William Brewer, brother of the prisoner Richard, was the chief mould maker at the mills. Richard was employed there, and lived in the cottage, of which a model was furnished. Besides attending to the mould office he had to inspect the mould in use twice a day. There was a certain stage of the paper in process of manufacture called " water- leaf." There was another stage beyond that in which it was " sizad'' but not " glazed.'' It happened that there was in the mills fre- quently a quantity of paper in the " water- leaf" and " sized" states. In 1862 the " water- leaf " paper was kept in one of the pack- rooms. The " sized " bank note paper in the dry state was kept in the same room. There were several thousand notes kept in the pack- room. On the 16th of July, 1862, after the discovery that some paper had been taken, the practice of keeping paper in them had been discontinued. On the 7th of July plain Bank of England paper was made at the mills. ( The key produced by Webb, the detective officer, was then handed to the witness, which he said was a " master" key.) That key would open the doors giving admission to the pack- room. He heard that it had been lost. Remem- bered its being found about the 8th of September. Eichard Brewer ought to have no key in connection with the mills in his possession. After mill hours the doors were locked. After those hours Richard Brewer had sometimes made application to wit- ness for his key. He had lent it to him on one oocasion at the latter end of last year. The key was a " master'' key, and would open every door. He went away with the key for about ten minutes and brought it back again. When in the mould office Brewer had asked permission to remain there on one occasion after the regular hours, but the answer of the witness had been that if Brewer remained there he must remain there also. Rupee paper, he further stated, was never sent out in an " unsized '* state, or Bank of England " sized " and not " glazed." In his experience there was sometimes a deficiency of paper, owing to tear and wear of machinery, and other causes. In 1862, however, a larger deficiency had been discovered than could be accounted for by those causes. ( A brass Box with slits in it was then handed to the witness.) It was, he said, a " knotter," and was of the same gauge as that used at the mills. Its use was to free the pulp from knots by passing it through the slits. There was also another article handed to the witness, which, he said, was the foundation of a paper mould. The mill, he further stated, was opened in the morning at five or half- past five o'clock. He always opened it. There was a night watchman, who then came oft duty. The mill closed for work, so far as the women were concerned, at four. The men generally left about five or half- past five, when it was his duty to close the mill. Some more evidence, but only of a corroborative nature, was then taken, and the trial was further adjourned till Friday. On Friday the trial was resumed, and one or two witnesses having been called in explanation of previous evidence, Sir F. Kelly said that was the case for the prosecution. Mr Pater submitted that there was no case to go to the jury, so far as Buncher was concerned, on the ground that the evidence failed to connect the note mentioned as affecting him in the in- dictment as being a portion of the paper taken to Griffiths or re- ceived from the approver, especially when many others had been dealing with paper also. Mr Justice Blackburn said there was evidence that Buncher took some paper to Griffiths in. order that notes might be forged and uttered. He could not withdraw the case from the jury. Mr Sergeant Ballantine proceeded to address the jury on behalf of Brewer. He admitted that as soon as the authorities of the Bank became aware of the forgeries they took every step to pro- tect the public against loss, and to discover the offenders. With regard to Brewer, he had the pleasing duty of asking the jury to acquit an innocent man, who had been involved by the manoeu vres and tricks of others. In reference to the statement of Brown, that he slept at Brewer's on one occasion when the robberies were going on, ne was instructed to say that, like many other matters in this case, it was a fabrication and a falsehood. Had it not been for the ingenuity of detectives and the falsehood of rogues, no imputation would have rested on Brewer, He commented upon the fact that nobody had been called who had ever seen Brewer and Brown in company, and argued that Brown's statement in reference to their interviews was not to be relied on. The learned sergeant examined the evidence with great care, and called upon the jury to declare by their verdict that Brewer was innocent. Mr Pater, addressing his lordship, said that on the previous day the prisoner Griffiths had intimated his desire to make a " settle- ment, and his lordship had promised to give him an opportunity of so doing. What he ( the learned counsel) wanted to know was, at what period of the investigation it was to be taken, since it must acquit his client Buncher, although the testimony of such a per- son, whether favourable or unfavourable, could have but little in- fluence with the jury. Mr Justice Blackburn said that nothing that Griffiths might say would be evidence against the other prisoners. He would give Griffiths an opportunity of making a statement after Mr Pater had addressed the jury. Mr Pater then proceeded to urge upon the jury that no facts had been elicited tending to criminate Buncher. Several witnesses were called, who gave him an excellent cha- racter. Griffiths said it was not correct that he had printed all the forged notes during the last seventeen years. There was a man named Chayton who had printed a great many. The learned judge then proceeded to sum up. At 25 minutes to four the jury returned into court with a verdict of guilty against Buncher, not guilty against Brewer, guilty against Griffiths. Burnett had already pleaded guilty. Cummings was then tried, but the evidence was such as in the opinion of the judge did not warrant a conviction, and he there- fore directed an acquittal. The court was then adjourned until Saturday at eleven o'clock, when it will be decided whether Cummings shall be again placed upon his trial on other indictments. Sentences on the other prisoners were deferred. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN PADDINGTON.— On Thursday, Jan 8, James Wadden, 29, hairdresser, was indicted for feloniously and maliciously wounding, with intent to murder, Hannah Maria Colchester Dixon. The prosecutrix is rather a good- looking young woman, but, in consequence of the injuries she had sustained, was unable to speak ; she, therefore, gave her evidence seated, and wrod it upon a slate, when it was afterwards read to the jury, and from which it appeared that she had known the prisoner about three years, and that she had been married to him about two years since, his first wife being still alive. On the even- ing of the 16th of Nov last she went with the prisoner to a coffee- house in New Church- street, Edgware- road, and where, on pre- vious occasions, she had slept with him. Shortly after retiring prosecutrix asked the prisoner to take her with him on the fol- lowing morning to witness an execution at the Old Bailey, he having previously expressed his intention of being present They had been drinking, and she asked him to have some gin, which he refused, telling her to " give it to that vagabond which she liked better than him." The witness, in consequence of the con- dition in which she was in, then very imperfectly described the manner in which the prisoner, after having had some words, struck at her throat with a razor, when she instantly felt that blood was flowing from a wound in her throat. The witness was but very briefly examined, but was closely greased as to whether she had not herself committed the act. She, owever, by continually shaking her head, and her answers on the slate, strenuously denied that she had done so.— John Cobley stated that he was the landlord of a coffee- house in New Church- street, Edgware- road, and that he had for some time known the prisoner and his wife, they having been in the habit of sleeping at his house. They came on the night in question, and shortly after they had retired he heard a noise and cries of " Murder." On going upstairs he found that the door was locked, and having with some difficulty effected an entrance he saw the prisoner and his wife in the room. She was lying on the floor on her left side, and there was a frightful wound in her throat. The prisoner was standing near her ; he was covered with blood, and appeared to be very much excited. He stated that his wife had attempted to cut her throat. Witness asked her if it was the case, when she feebly articulated " No," and pointed to the prisoner as having done it. The prisoner insisted that she had done it herself, and said that if she died they would both die together. A medical man was then sent for, as also a police constable, to whom the prisoner was given in custody.— The prisoner's defence w as still that the prosecutrix had inflicted the wound herself.— The jury, not believing him, found him guilty, and he was sentenced to penal servitude for life. ® FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN RAILWAY.— On Wednesday evening an inquest was held at. the Lord Wellington Tavern, University- street, respecting the death of Frederick Oliver, aged fourteen years, who was killed under the following circumstances:— The deceased had been a messenger at Chaplin and Home's, but was just promoted to a clerkship. He was taking his successor to the railway station, but they mis- sed the train at the Camden station of the London and North Western Railway, and endeavoured to get on to an engine which was going to Euston- square to take out the Liverpool train. While deceased was getting up the engine moved oft, and he was thrown under the wheels and received serious injuries, which resulted fatally, notwithstanding that amputation of his limbs was immediately resorted to. Deceased stated that they had per- mission from the engine driver to ride on the engine, but Baxter, the driver, said he knew nothing of their intention till he found one boy on the engine and the other under the wheels No one was allowed to ride on the company's engines without a special order from the directors, but boys were constantly endeavouring to get up surreptitiously. A verdict of Accidental Death was returned. „ .

MATCH AT KELSO.— This match, which has excited considerable interest amongst the sportsmen of Kelso and neighbourhood for some time past, came off on Saturday, Jan 3, in Springwood Park, which was kindly granted for the purpose by Sir G. Donglas. The entries were very numerous, and included all the best shots in the district, encouraging the expectation that a capital day's sport would be the result. The most noble the Marquis of Bowmont, who was himself one of the subscribers, remained on the ground during the whole day, and evinced, by the active part he took in carrying out the arrangements, and generally in conducting the details of the match, his keenness as a sportsman, no less than his desire to contribute to the enjoyment of those around him. Shooting commenced shortly after ten o'clock, and was kept up unremittingly till, in fact, it was impossible from the darkness to shoot any longer.

CHURCH DESTROYED BY FIRE.— The little church of Brooke, which visitors to the western end of the Isle of Wight will re- member, picturesquely perched on the lower slopes of Afton Down, was completely destroyed by fire a few days before last Christmas Day. A brazier of charcoal had been lighted to dispel the damp from a newly- erected organ. The rector, the Rev J. Pellew Gaze, had visited it to see that all was safe, but from some unexplained cause the fire communicated to the woodwork of the organ, and before he reached the rectory the building was in a blaze. From its position it was hopeless to attempt to extinguish the flames, which burnt themselves out, having consumed every- thing combustible in the building, and leaving nothing but blackened walls and gables. The building will be no architectural loss. Its site was most inconvenient, scarcely approachable in stormy weather, and at a considerable distance from the people. Doubtless this will be remedied when the new church is. Jbuilt. EXHIBITION GLASS.— From the desire evinced by the public to possess themselves of the very beautiful specimens of silvered glass exhibited in the Austrian Court at the late Exhibition, by Mr Hidaeghy, every article having been bought up, it may inte- rest some of our numerous readers to learn that Mr Hidaeghy has just received a fresh supply from Hungary, which is at pre- sent on view and for sale at 5, Great Pulteney- street, Regent- street. ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICID- E.— On Wednesday morning a man named Goodwin, who had been in the habit of visiting a Mrs Harman, living in Pitt- street, Old Kent- road, attempted to murder her. A quarrel had arisen between them, the nature of which is not, however, known, and the man, drawing a knife, cut the woman's throat. A struggle ensued, during which he inflicted on the woman numerous wounds in the body and about the arms and hands. The woman became insensible from the loss of blood. The police were sent for, but before they arrived Goodwin had cut his own throat. Both were conveyed to the hospital, where they lie in a dangerous state. THE DERBYSHIRE MAGISTRATES AND THE NIGHT POACHING BILL.— At the quarter sessions held at Derby, on Tuesday, Mr T. O. Bateman, according to previous notice, moved—" That peti- tions to both houses of Parliament respecting the game laws be adopted by the court, and signed by such magistrates as may ap- prove the same, bearing in mind the declared intention of Sir Joseph Paxton, M. P., a magistrate of this county, to move in the next session for a committee of the House of Commons on the above subject." Mr Bateman, in the course of his speech, alluded to the practice of calling upon the country gentlemen for presents of game upon the occasion of a public dinner, which game, he said, was consumed bv aldermen, town councillors, and editors, who quarrelled with them for using their best endeavours to pre- serve it. A discussion took place, during which it soon became evident that the greater number by far of the magistrates present were in favour of more stringent means being adopted against the poachers. Upon division, the numbers were— 21 for Mr Bate- man's motion, and 5 against it. A petition praying for a general consolidation of the various enactments against poachers was then signed by nearly all the magistrates present. Mr T. W. Evans, M. P., voted against the motion. Mr Mundy, M. P., who was present, did not vote. THE HIGHWAY ROBBERY AT CLIFTON, NOTTS.— At the quarter sessions held on Monday, Jan 5, at the Shire Hall, Nottingham, before Lord Belper, James Flood, aged 63, glazier, was charged with violently assaulting and robbing Joseph Turton, game watcher to Sir Robert Clifton, on Barton Moor. Mr Mellor pro- secuted ; the prisoner was undefended. The prosecutor said that on the morning of the robbery he called at a public- house in Gothem, when the prisoner came in begging. He gave him some tobacco and beer, and they left together on the road to Notting- ham. On their way the prosecutor became alarmed, and requested the prisoner to leave him, but he refused to go. They then walked on to Barton Moor, when the prisoner said, " You have got a watch." Prosecutor replied that he had, and he meant to keep it. Prisoner then knocked him down, beat him on the head, and ren- dered him insensible for a short time. Upon recovering himself he found the prisoner upon him rifling his pockets. A violent struggle took place, when a man named Price came up, and suc- ceeded, along with the prosecutor, in capturing the prisoner, whom they took into custody. The jury found him guilty, but recommended him to mercy. His lordship, however, refused to notice the recommendation, as the prisoner had been previously convicted eleven times, and sentenced him to ten years penal servitude. MATCH.— On Wednesday last the match, which excited so much interest among the West End sportsmen, between Mr C. Cornwell's Creeping Jenny and Mr G. Bentley's Tommy, to trot five miles, for £ 2- 5 a side, in harness, came off on the Edgware turnpike road, near Cricklewood, the Welsh Harp Inn being made head quarters. The weather was very fine, which caused a regular turn out of many sportsmen"; in fact, the road to the scene of action was lined with vehicles of all descriptions, many of which were drawn by lots of fancy " tits," and by the appointed hour there could not have been less than fifteen hundred persons of a most respectable class present, but there was not much bet ting, although 2 to 1 was freely offered on Creeping Jenny, as there appeared too many in the " know.'' The preliminaries having been adjusted, the nags came to the scratch in light trapp, owners driving, and at the given signal away they went a cracker, going two- and- a- half miles out and in. Creeping Jenny, however, proved much better than anticipated by the Bentleyites, and had the match safe before they had gone two miles, now and then allowing Tommy to draw up a bit, but eventually won very easily by twenty lengths or more. Upwards of fifty gentlemen dined at the above- named inn at the conclusion of the match. NELLY AND BRUSH.— These horses, both the property of trades- men, trotted three miles in harness, for £ 10 a side, on Tuesday, Jan 6, on the London turnpike- road, near Harlington- corner. The affair drew together lots of sportsmen from the Surrey side of the water, but although 5 to 2 was freely offered upon Nelly, not many investments were made, nor did much money change owners. Nelly cut out the work at starting, was never caught, and won easily by two hundred yards. Brush broke several times, and would not settle down to his work upon this occasion. The owner of Nelly will trot Mr Cornwell's Creeping J enny tfiree miles, fer £ 20 a side, providing Mr C. will give him thirty seconds start. £ 10, with articles, sent to Bell's Life, MrC. can be on. No match has been made between Jem Crow and Mr Anidiah's horse, the owner of Jem Crow not wishing to drive hie own horse. Each has, therefore, drawn his money, FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY, JAN 6 WAR OFFICE, JAN E.- 26th Regt of Ft: Maj- GenG. H. Macklnnon C. B., to be col, v Gen Sir P. Balnbrlgge, K. C. B., dec.

BETTING AT TAITERSALL'S. MONDAY, JAN 5.— Although the attendance was not large, some amount of briskness was imparted to the proceedings, which were further enlivened by a good deal of badinage about certain Derby outsiders, which were " pat up" at intervals. Lord Clifden, as hitherto, was very firm, and at 7 to 1 would have been backed for some money, but layers declined to advance so much by half a point, and 13 to 2 to £ 50 was the final bet booked about him. Saccliarometer was but little enquired after, although 9 to 1 was taken once about him in the course of the afternoon to a " century.'' Hospodar was unsupported at 100 to 8 ( 100 to 7 would have been taken), and no mention whatever was made of his stable companion, Jarnicoton. 2,000 to 45 was twice taken about Automaton, after which the offers against him were reduced to 20 to 1; and after 30 to 1 had been laid to a small amount against National Guard, 27 to 1 against Carnival, and 1,000 to 38 against Tom Fool, 25 to 1 was taken about each of the three. Many inquiries were made respecting Blue Mantle— who had been backed freely in theCity— and after many vain endeavours to get a longer price, he was invested on at 25 to 1 to £ 100. A small com- mission was executed about King of Utopia at 30 to 1. Amongst those nibbled at at 50 to 1 were Miciuel Scott, Woldga, and Giles the First; and at odds ranging from the latter price to 66 to 1 Taje was backed to win upwards of £ 5,000, and Tambour Major about two- thirds that amount. The " outsider," however, most sought after was Bright Cloud, who was backed for a stake at 1,600 to 10 and 2,000 to 25. Macearoni— who has before figured in the Derby quotations— was to- day backed again at 1,000 to 10, taken several times; and 5,000 to 50 was booked about the G- Ienochty colt. Frequent offers were made against Pratique, the current one being about 45 to 1— though once a much longer price was laid— and 1,000 to 70 was registered about him and his two stable companions, Carnival and Maccaroni. 1,000 to 400 was booked about the three favourites— Lord Clifden, Saccha. rometer, and Hospodar. For the Two Thousand, 4 to 1 was offered on the field, and these odds were taken to £ 40 about Hospodar, and 500 to 100 was taken about the last- named and Saccharometer both being " in the first three.'' THURSDAY, JAN 8.— The usual select " sprinkling" of mem- bers assembled round the fire in the course of the afternoon, and some little business on the Derby was transacted before the early separation of the few subscribers present. After some support had been awarded to Carnival at 25 to 1, 1,000 to 45 was taken about him, at which price Automaton was also backed, and 1,000 to 40was once laid against Tom Fool. No mention of the two favourites was made separately, but 700 to 200 was laid against them coupled. The following bets were also laid: 1,000 to 100 against Scott's lot, 1,000 to 50 against Lord Glasgow's lot, and 5,000 to 150 against his lordship's string " barEapid Ehone." Otherwise, the quotations subjoined speak for themselves. TWO THOUSAND. MONDAY. THURSDAY. Hospodar . T. Jennings .. 4 to 1 ( off) .... DERBY. Lord Clifden E.

JOHNSON ON TUESDAY LAST. On Tuesday, Jan 6, the entry day for York, Dor, caster, New- castle, Stockton, and other northern meetings, Mr Johnson held his annual sale of blood stock, in Mr Nelson's Yard, Museum- street. There was a good attendance, including several gentlemen, and nearly the whole of the north country trainers. Mr Sharpe's stud was the principal attraction, consisting of fifteen lots, but only six out of the number were disposed of at the hammer, although Flying Spur was sold to Mr Ewbank the same night. Volatile was sold to go to France, and Montrose to Lord Zetland, to lead work for his lordship's " youngsters." The hammer fell at the following prices:— GS.

The following horses left La Morlaye on Wednesday last, the 7th inst, for Newmarket:— Alerte, 4 yrs; Aleibiade, chesnut colt, by Cossack out of Alerte's dam, 3 yrs; Gentilhomme, bay colt, by The Flying Dutchman ® ut of Georgette, 3 yrs; Eeland, brown colt, by Lanercost out of Eegrette ( Isabella's dam), 3 yrs; La Keine Berthe, chesnut filly, by The Baron out of Creeping Jenny ( Stradella's dam), 3 yrs; Semiramis, bay filly, by Moaarque out of Comtesse, 3 yrs; Antinous, colt by Cossack, 2 yrs; La Belle Feronniere, bay filly, by Ventre St Gris out of Julia ( Cosmopo- lite's dam), 2 yrs; Bon Espoir, colt by Faugh a Ballagh out of Denique, 2 yrs; Comme- oa, brown filly, by Collingwood out of Coqueluche, 2 yrs; Fille de l'Air, bay filly, by Faugh a Ballagh out of Pauline, 2 yrs; La Medora, brown filly, by Faugh a Bal- lagh out of Nairn, 2 yrs; Mademoiselle de Eosay, hay filly, by Monarque out of Pomare, 2 yrs; Segreenne, by The Prime Warden out of Caveat ( Panique's dam), 2 yrs; Blanc Bee, by Womersley out of Lady Lyons, 2 yrs; Sorciere, by Pretty Boy out of Little Fawn, 2 yrs; Soumise, by Pretty Boy out of Lady Bird, 2 yrs; and Victoire, by The Flying Dutchman out of Vichers, 2 yrs. The last five of this lot arrived at La Morlaye on the 4th inst from the haras of the Duke de Fitz- James, and have all been bred in the western provinces. The term steeple chase, in its original intent, very clearly de- fined the character of this hybrid kind of sport. As fox hunting implied hunting the fox, and pheasant shooting slaughtering pheasants, so did steeple chasing or racing mean racing for the steeple. It is easy enough to imagine how such a pastime ever came to be instituted. There had been a blank day; or hounds with plenty of work in the big covers had still afforded nothing better than coffee- housing for the customers; or the best men of last night over the mahogany have, with a short dodging fox, had no equal opportunity of proving their merits over a country And then, at the happy moment, some inspired spirit suggests that they shall have a race for it. Let them try who can get soonest to yonder steeple, just discernible in the distance, and, as was once actually the case, whoever first touches the church door with his whip wins! There was, too, a deal of genuine proof in this rough and ready way of going to work, for such a trial was not merely a test of the fastest horse or the hardest rider, but per- haps yet more of the really best man over a country— who could take a line of his own, see where to feel for a weak place, and recover himself by a nearer turn or clever nick after coming to grief. Gradually, however, as the taste fw the thing increased, we began to refine on this primitive system, and the first two great principles of Steeple Chase Law quickly came to be recog- nised— that no use or advantage should be taken either of high- way or gateway. At this era the line continued pretty generally straight away, with the spectators taking their view from certain points, or riding parallel with the competitors. We have, indeed, galloped along the road as the horses have been racing over the adjoining fences, and by the aid of a thorough bred hack thus frequently witnessed the chief part of a chase. But further improvement was still requisite. The convenience of the pay- ing public had to be more considered, and the course, as a consequence, taught to meander and ring round the Grand Stand and winning field. The steeple chase then came as naturally to be known as the flag race, and some stringent regulations had to be adapted to the circumstances under which these said flags were occasionally put up, as almost endless wrangles and objections occurred. Still, at about this era the sport may be recorded as at its zenith The common and almost general conditions were as simple as could be— the distance four miles, and the weight 12st. But, alas! in 1843 the Liverpool was transformed into a Handicap ; in 1846 a horse at lOst started for it, and since then it has been won six times in seven years by animals carry- ing less than lOst, the very exception being only weighted at lOst 71b. From the recognition and adoption of these light weights the decline of steeple chasing may be too surely traced. Gentlemen were gradually edged out of their riding by such a means, and men frequently not respectable enough to take rank with regular jockeys had it pretty much their own way. Then the opportunity for robbery was so much finer than in a flat race. A horse might be stripped in the best possible trim to be only the more fancied the more he was seen, and then, of course, be pulled into one of his fences, twisted on to the wrong side of a flag, brought round at a brook, or stopped almost when and where the worthy on his back chose to square it. Until at length the steeple chase was known to be merely a mockery and a bye- word, to be illustrated as a national sport by the conjoint performances of bad race horses and overgrown stable lads, at whose very peculiar proceedings the old- fashioned high- neckcloth school of English gentlemen held their heads rather higher than ever, and with very good ground by this time for keeping aloof. A strong effort is at length being made to restore the sport to its pristine fame. This endeavour would so far seem to mainly de- pend upon the more general establishment of certain rules, al- ready, as we shall show, in some force. But it would be altoge- ther idle and vain to stop here. However good these regulations may be, they scarcely strike at the root of the evil. To reinstitute the steeple chase, to make it again that which it once was, we must bring it back to something like its original practice. The future of the thing, in a word, centres on the adoption of a heavier scale of weights. Let there be a supplementary regulation or bye- law that no horse running in a steeple chase shall under any circumstances carry less than lOst 71b. Let noblemen and gentle- men when applied to to give their support either as stewards or sub- scribers to any such meetings withhold their countenance until this principle be publicly admitted. Let them, even beyond this, carefully inquire into the characters of those with whom the gene- ral management rests, or we shall still have the pursuit much at the standard of the opening steeple chases of the year, as celebrated at Gainsborough on Monday last. Had gentlemen like Sir Charles Anderson, Major Hutton, Mr Welfit, and Mr Eeynard taken any- thing like proper pains to ascertain the character of the day's sport to which they stand committed? We should trust the rather that they knew as little of its actual conduct as any other visitors who went there in ignorance, and left there in disgust. But a steward, if a sportsman only yet the more so, is shamefully neglecting his office by any such indifference as this to his duties ; while let him, moreover, remember that in such case the worth of his name is chiefly sought after as a decoy to plunder the un- wary. The success not only of steeple chase, but also of race meetings, must greatly depend on stewards no longer accepting their appointments on the understanding of their being mere dummies and tools in the hands of other officials. Still, the more thorough recognition of the rules of steeple chasing is a great step in the right direction, although, as we have already intimated, the majority of these regulations have lone been in existence. Nearly twenty years since the Steeple Chase Calendar, brought out under the direct sanction of the late Marquis of Waterford, and edited by Mr Corbet, contained a Code thus introduced:— " The aim, object,, and practice ef steeple chasing correspond in the main features so exactly with racing, that the same rules and regulations have generally been found equally applicable to either sport; in some minor particulars, however, the laws of the steeple chase differ or go farther than such as have hitherto been deemed amply sufficient for flat racing, and the following suggestions have consequently been drawn together from the usual articles appended to steeple chase announcements, or from decisions given on disputed points." These ten original Eules were as follow:— " 1. Any rider during a chase going upwards of one hundred yards on any high road, lane, or public thoroughfare, will, in the event of his coming in first, so disqualify his horse from being considered the winner, on an objection to that effect being sub- stantiated. " 2. Any rider during a chase opening any gate or wicket, or passing through any gateway, or purposed and common passage from one inclosure to another, will so disqualify his horse, though placed first, from being considered the winner. " 3. Any rider wilfully crossing, jostling, riding at, or driving another from his point while going at a fence, will be disqualified on such a charge being proved by two or more competent wit- nesses. " 4. Any flag, post, or boundary mark placed in the course— no matter by whose order— after the riders have been shown over the ground, or the line pointed out and explained to them, not to be considered binding or of any effect, unless such alteration or ad- dition shall have been particularly named, previous to starting, to all engaged in the chase, by the steward, clerk, or some other generally acknowledged and authorised person. " 5. In the event of two or more horses running a dead heat, and their owners agreeing to a division of the stakes or plate, a formal walk over the course, as in flat racing, shall not be deemed necessary, but every horse participating in any such division to be considered, and carry extra weight henceforth, as a winning ho* Be. " 6. Conditions using merely the term ' winning horses' in reference to those liable to extra weight, to be considered as ap- plying only to winners of public steeple chases, advertised or announced as such; and no winner of hurdle or flat races, or match of any kind, to be considered liable to carry the extra weight as a winner, unless words to that effect shall be fully specified in the articles. " 7. The term ' maiden horse' to be considered applicable to any horse which never won a steeple chase, and a ' horse that never started,' to one which never started for a steeple chase. " 8. The term ' gentlemen riders,' if used solely, a custom that should be carefully avoided, to apply or allude only to persons generally received in society as gentlemen; members of the Lon- don leading clubs, foxhunting or racing clubs, officers in the army or navy, barristers, solicitors, medical men, or others so considered by position and profession, and who do not and never have been in the habit of receiving remuneration for riding, either directly or in form of travelling expenses, or any other indirect manner. " 9. Any rider falling from or suffering his horse to get away from him, to be at liberty to remount in any part of the same field or enclosure in wh| ch the accident occurred; but should his horse not be caught until he had entered another field, then to be ridden or brought back to the one in which he parted with his rider. Any jockey so losing his horse may be assisted in catching and remounting by the spectators, or any other person engaged in the chase, without risk of disqualification ; and in the event of a rider being disabled, his horse may be ridden home and take his place the same by any person of sufficient weight, providing he mount or go back to the same field the first rider fell in. " 10. The state of the. weather an'dthe ground, in the event of any doubt as to the fitness or safety of running, to be left entirely to the discretion of the stewards, who may order the chase or chases to be then and there decided as originally fixed, or post- poned accarding to the " best of their judgment— all engagements standing, whether decided or put off, just as when first subscribed to; save only with regard to bets, which shall not stand ( except by mutual agreement) unless the chase on which they were made be decided on some day in the same week for which it was first fixed; or on some other day named in the original conditions of the chase." In comparison with these it may be as well to give again the new rules as revised by Admiral Eous, and which, in their present shape, we first published last week :— I. The rules concerning horse racing in general, as published in the Racing Calendar, apply to all steeple chases, with the ex- ception of Eules XLII. and XLIII., and also with the following exceptions and additions:— II. The decision of the stewards, or whomsoever they may ap- point, is final in everything connected with steeple chases, and there is no appeal whatever to a court of law. ( 5) III. A walk over shall in no case be deemed necessary, either after a dead heat or otherwise. It shall be sufficient if a horse be weighed for, mounted, and proceed to the starting post, when, if no competitor appear in due time, he shall be considered the winner of the race. Such horse shall be liable to carry extra weight as a winner. ( 6) IV. The term " winning horse,'' in reference to those liable to carry extra weight, or those to be excluded from any race, shall apply only to winners of 20 sovs or upwards, not including the winner's stake, or of some prize of equal value, and not to the winner of hurdle races, flat races, or matches of any kind. ( 7) V. A maiden horse or mare is considered one that has never won a " steeple chase" of the value of £ 20 or upwards, not in- cluding the winner's stake ; and a horse that has never started is one that has never started for a " steeple chase" of the value of £ 20 or upwards, not including the winner's stake. ( 1) VI. Any rider in a steeple chase where the ground is not flagged out going upwards of one hundred yards on any high road, lane, or public thoroughfare, will disqualify his horse from win- ning, although he should come in first. ( 2) VII. Any rider in a steeple chase where the ground is not flagged out opening any gate or wicket, or passing through any gateway or common passage from one enclosure to another, will disqualify, his horse from winning, although he should come in first. ( 9) VIII. Any horse getting away from his rider may be re- mounted in any part of the same field or enclosure in which the occurrence took place; but should such horse not be caught until he shall have entered another field, then he shall be ridden or brought back to the one in which he parted from his rider. Any jockey so losing his horse may be assisted in catching him and re- mounting him without risk of disqualification; and in the event of a rider being disabled, his horse may be ridden home by any person of sufficient weight, provided he be qualified according to the conditions of the race. No penalty shall be exacted for carrying over weight in this distance. ( 10) IX. Should the weather or ground be in a doubtful state for running, it shall be left entirely to the stewards, who may order the chase to fee postponed for any time whatever, according to their discretion; and all nominations, subscriptions, and bets shall stand good, the same as if the chase had taken place on the day originally fixed. X. In nominating a horse, gelding, or mare the first time for a steeple chase, its full pedigree must be given, if known, other- wise it shall be sufficient to state its age, colour, and the name in which it has, and is hereafter, to run, together with such descrip- tion as will distinguish the animal from any other running in a similar name, either in flat races, hurdle races, or steeplechases. XI. Should the name of any horse be changed after having been once entered in either a flat race, hurdle race, or steeple chase, it shall be necessary in all subsequent entries to state his original name, as well as any other names under which he may previously have been entered. XII. Every person who shall ride for a steeple chase shall be weighed immediately after the same, and shall be allowed 41b above the weight specified for his horse to carry ( provided his weight be not increased by immersion in mud or water), and no more, unless the weight he actually rode be declared as the weight he intended to ride ; and if any horse shall carry more than 41b above his weight without a declaration having been made. by the jockey or the owner of the horse, or by his servant, to the steward or clerk of the course before starting, then such horse shall not be considered the winner of the race, even though he should come in first, but shall be placed as the last horse in the race, and his owner shall pay the stake as for a beaten horse, and whether the horse comes in first or not the jockey shall be fined £ 5 for his neglect, and shall not be allowed to ride in a pubiic race until the said fine be paid. The person appointed by the stewards to weigh the jockeys shall, immediately after each day's racing, re- port to the clerk of the course how much each horse carried, where he carried more than 41b above the specified weight; and the clerk of the course is, as soon after as may be, to communi- cate such report to the stewards, or one of them, and the weight each horse actually carried, if more than 41b above his weight, shall be published In the first list printed after the race. XIII. In all handicaps with 20 subscribers, when the highest weight accepting is under 12st 71b, it shall be raised to that weight, and the others in proportion. XIV. The names of all horses whose stakes and forfeits are not paid shall be published in the Racing Calendar at the end of every year; and Messrs Weatherby, Old Burlington- street, London, or whomsoever they may appoint, are the persons to whom all stakes and forfeits for the different steeple chases are payable. ( 3) XV. The stewards shall have the power to disqualify any horse from being declared the winner of a steeple chase, although he should come in first, if it can be clearly proved to their satis- faction that the jockey, by any deliberate foul riding, intended to knock down any horse, or in any determined way to jeopardise his chance of success in the race. Any jockey who shall be found guilty of foul rising shall be fined for the first offence a sum not exceeding £ 25, and for the second he shall be prohibited from riding until such time as the stewards shall think fit. It will be seen that, as marked in parenthesis, the now- famous dead heat clause, as embodied in No. 3 of the new rules, is, with the addition of the rather indefinite words " or otherwise," pre- cisely similar in its effect to No. 5 of the old rules— that No. 4 of the hew is No. 6 of the old, with the minimum of 20 sovs in- serted as the amount of any chase carrying a penalty— that No. 5 of the new, with a similar rider, but no reference to matches, is No. 7 of the original code, while Nos. 6 and 7 of the new rules are precisely similar to Nos. 1 and 2 of those first published, although not put with that prominence they then commanded. No. 8 of the new, thanks to the able revision of Admiral Eous, now comes to rank side by side with No. 9 of the original; the notion of any man getting up for a chance mount to within two or three pounds weight of another being practically an ab- surdity. The yet further addition, as first published last week, of provided he be qualified according to the conditions of the race, is, however, an essential improvement on the original articles. As Admiral Rous says, and especially now that heat races are gone by, it is not very probable that one man would take the place of another in a flat race, but there might plainly be such an opportu- nity in a steeple chase, and it is only right and sportsmanlike that any such quick- witted volunteer should be able to do so without any cavil as to his being over weight. No. 10 of the new differs so far from No. 9 of the old as to bets standing, even if the chase be postponed from beyond any'day of the week in which it was first fixed for, though the practice was otherwise when the first rules were framed. Our correspondent, when submitting these new rules in Bell's Life of Nov 30, gives as a reason for this, that " it is not in any way right that important betting races, like the Liverpool, & c, should be rendered null and void by a few days' frost. Bets should certainly hold good as well as the stakes, & c, for should you have backed your horse to win a stake, and the race becomes void through its not being able to be run on account of frost, & c, on the week advertised, he is shown up for ever after- wards, and all important steeple chases are now handicapped— not, as formerly— 12st each." We almost wish that the alteration had slipped in, if it really be requisite, without any reason what- ever having been offered " for its adoption. The curse of all mo- dern steeple chases is, that they are looked upon too much already as " betting races,'' instead of as the practice of a manly English sport; and we heartily wish that we could go back to the good old times of " 12st each," without any danger of being " shown up," even if gentlemen had to wait upon Jack Frost for an- other week before they would fight it out against each other on their own horses. The handicap has not done much for flat raeing, but such a means to an end, backed by important betting, has nearly ruined steeple chasing. Curiously enough, our cor- respondent, in his new edition of the rules, altogether rejected No. 3 of the original, against crossing and jostling, but the quick eye of the Admiral could not pass over such an omission as that, and No. 15, as now added, is an able amplification of old No. 3. The new rules, Nos. 10 and 11, will be very useful, and were es- pecially called for after the double dodges of the last few years, and No. 12 is now a judicious extension, with the mud and water allowance of the 21b over, which of late years has been racing law. No. 14 is also grounded on the same more modern practice, while of No. 13 we must emphatically repeat that we do not consider it perfect in its intended operation. Let the highest weight in a handicap be unquestionably never under 12st 71b, but let no horse in a public steeple chase be ever weighted at less than lOst 71b. If he cannot run with that on him, such a weed has no pretensions to carry a man over a country, and his encouragement for such a purpose is a mockery, as but too often a snare. No. 4 of the original rules, as to putting up flags or boundary marks after the riders have been shown over the ground, is now very injudiciously or even unwarrantably ignored, as it has already been publicly recognised, and may even again be a ne- cessary part of any complete Code. At the Windsor Steeple Chases in 1846, the chief handicap of 25 sovs each, with 100 added, was won by that fine horseman, Capt Powell, on Salute. He was, however, objected to by the rider of the second horse, as having gone on the wrong side of a flag, but which, it was proved, had been put up after the line had been shown, and the stewards con- sequently decided, by the 4th rule of steeple chasing, that such an objection could not be entertained. We fear that stewards and other officials who now omit any reference to this rule will, after such a precedent, get themselves into trouble, should any such ease again occur. Showing over the ground is not so common a custom as it once was, but the very caution is wholesome, if only as a check to unauthorised interference. No. 8 of the original set, embodying an attempt at the definition of a gen- tleman jockey, is, again, not copied into the series recommended by our correspondent. The strong point, as here put, is that a bona fide gentleman jockey is one who " does not, and never has been in the habit of receiving remuneration for riding, either directiy or in the form of travelling expenses, or any other indirect man- ner." On the first blush of the thing it may sound hard that a man who travels, possibly some distance, simply to oblige another by riding a horse for him, should be debarred his actual expenses out of pocket. Let U3, however, put a parallel case for a gentle- man's careful consideration. Let us assume that, instead of ask- ing you to take part in a race, the other, knowing your profi- ciency, had begged you to make one in some private theatricals, or, nearer the mark still, had invited you to play in an Eleven against Kent or Sussex. If you were an actor or a " player'' of course you would expect your " ex's,'' while, if you were an amateur, or wished to rank with the gentlemen of " the side, " you could not for a moment entertain such an offer. The very mention of such a payment would be an insult. Surely the cases are analogous, whether one goes to ride at Bibury or play at Canterbury. If you really wish to make money at it, you may back your innings or your mount, only not with the owner, as that has become rather too palpable a makeshift to hold water much longer. Perhaps it may be as well notto inquiretoocloselyhereinto what the semi- gentleman- professional jockey has done to give the steeple chase a bad name in England, but we may take a word of warning from over the water. Without ever caring to be puffed or cowed over, certainly one of the most delightful writers who ever turned his pen to sporting topics was the late Mr Jamieson, who, under the signature of " Shamrock," contributed that famous series of sketches, known asthe " Hibernian Gentlemen Jockeys,'' to the columns of Bell's Life in London. Himself an owner of horses, and one who had seen and " suffered" all he spoke to, " Sham- rock '' is in every way an authority, and it was thus that he opened one of his charming papers, now, alas! more than twenty years since:—" Little did I think, as I cantered into that beautiful city called Cork, from the Ovens, that the glory of the sport which Ireland could justly call her own was departing for ever from her. At race, as well as my memory serves me, twelve horses stained; it was won by the late Mr Pyne, riding his own horse, King William, and as he happened to be victorious upon King William's Day, the bumpers of orange and blue were of the deepest upon the occasion. At that race there was not a paid jock; all of them either rode their own horses, or for friends upon friendly terms, namely, for their benefit, and their own honour and glory. An offer of gold would be replied to by an in- terchange of lead, and a hint at travelling expenses would insure a retort for your travelling to that bourne & c, ike. The characters of the riders, as honourable men and gentlemen, defied the tongue of malignity; they were all gentlemen resident in the country, and men of property , rode like gentlemen, and after the race adjourned to a merry dinner, where the jest and the song flourished, instead of the vulgar contradiction and unseemly row.'' " Shamrock" then proceeds to show us the other picture of what he calls the " soi- disant gentleman jock, who so boldly stated that he did not receive any pay, but who demanded from his employer, whom he called his friend, a bet of £ 25 to £ 5 against his horse winning, which, if he did win, was always paid, as a matter of course, and if he lost was seldom or never demanded. Independent, however, of that pull, the jock lived with his friend, and obliged him to attend ail ordinaries, & c, when of course the shot was paid by the unfortunate owner. Bear in mind that the jocks never ride a horse without a chance— their friendship never carries them so far. No, no, an attempt at that holy flame was never lighted by an artificial blast of Mammon ; and if a better offer was made it was soon discovered to be not the true flame, but an ignis fatuus, which not only overwhelmed you, but ren- dered you the jest of every sensible man. At the eleventh hour the hospitable entertainer was left in the lurch, and the confederate and the jock, Arcades amho, only laughed at him for his credu- lity. No gentleman would take the trouble of fighting one of them. If you shot him, your sensation could not be one of the pleasantest of your life, independent of the degradation if he shot you, and that you were questioned what caused your sudden transit from earth? and you were obliged to answer, a bullet re- ceived from a pistol of a gentleman jock; there would not be even the ghost of a respectable tailor who would not cut you, and leave you in Coventry to walk around the Stygian Lake.'' Our author dates the decline of steeple chasing in Ireland, or at any rate of its respectability, to the increase of this " half- and- half sys- tem,'' and concludes with a fervent appeal to St Patrick himself, " Och ! Why didn't you cast a wary glance behind, and banish the jock with the varmint!'' There is surely some moral in all this, if we seriously mean to re- establish the steeple chase as the sport of gentlemen— that is, if we expect gentlemen to take an active part in the proceedings. Still, we would not have the gentleman jockey go altogether with- out his reward, although we would have him as carefully avoid a draft for travelling expenses as he would the regular five pounds if he won or the three if he lost. But even the foxhunter likes to have something to show in memory of his day's sport, let it be a pad or the brush, while a good score gets a man his bat as a honorary mark of merit, and the expert rifleman carries home with him his cup or his medal. On the same principle we would encourage ability in the gentleman jockey, aud offer him some- thing to show for the triumphs he has achieved. In every race of any repute to be ridden exclusively by gentlemen, whether in Croxton Park, over Market Harboro', or at Bibury Club, we would have some especial prize added for the rider © f the winner— a gold- mounted whip, a pair of silver racing spurs, a goblet with a suitable inscription, or something equally acceptable and honour- able. We really believe that such a memento would make gen- tlemen jockeys far more keen at riding, and, by way of a begin- ning, we have a lock or two of old Lottery's mane that shall be twisted into the first winning whip they offer. THE LONDON HOSPITALS. MR EDITOR : St George's Hospital is largely contributed to by many other sporting characters besides Mr Bond, and lest they, like him, may be led to believe that this institution is really in need of funds, I hope you will allow me to state in your pages that the last financial report which I received, as a governor, shows that the hospital had in the Bank of England, Jan 14,1862, no less a sum than £ 132,000; the legacies and donations for the previous year, 1861, amounted to £ 10,835 lis 8d; the cash in hand to £ 2,687 14s 6d; and to meet the expenditure of the year, £ 16,210 0s 4d, that £ 2,687 14s 5d stock was sold. Notwithstand- ing these facts the weekly board are inserting an advertisement in The Times at regular periods, stating the income does not equal the expenditure, and to this mendicant appeal is appended the ungrateful misstatement that Mr Morley's legacy will not add one penny to the funds of the hospital. As an executor to the will of Mr Morley, I can state that the sum of considerably more than £ 150,000 will be payable to the hospital in July, when Vice- Chan- cellor Sir John Stuart will have to decide whether more than £ 50,000 of it can be applied to the purpose of the convalescent in- stitution in connection with St George's, as they allege will be the case. The sums received from the wills of Sir Thomas Apreece and Mrs Kennedy Hutchinson amounted last year respectively to £ 93,328 18s 9d and £ 7,126 0s 3d, and the late Mr Coppock has within a few weeks left a legacy of £ 800 per annum to this already rich hospital. The medical officers are all governors, and although they are representing the state of the funds to be deficient, they annually vote themselves £ 200 out of the charity to pay the rent of premises in Kinnerton, which they occupy for a medical school, the students' fee for entrance to which is 100 guineas, and which they quietly pocket. At a dinner given last year in aid of the funds of the London University Hospital, which I regret to say is in debt, the Duke of Argyll, as chairman, said, " That so admirable an organisation characterised the metropolitan hospi- tals, that benevolent persons had a perfect assurance that their money was well bestowed, and could not possibly be misapplied." And it is fortunate that a general feeling of confidence exists in the mind of the public that such is the case, but those who are governors of other hospitals than St George's know how unequally distributed are the means supplied for the support of these noble institutions for our sick poor,— Yours, & c, W.

TO THE EDITOR OF BELL S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR: Some incorrect statements having been published last week relative to the Winchester Garrison Eaces, I beg to send you an amended account. In the reports alluded to, The Miller and Crinoline are mentioned as starters in the first race, wherea8 they were both drawn. In the Handicap, won by The Dutchman, Santa Claus is placed third, whereas he refused in the first heat, and fell in the second; and in the Welter race, Charlie, who did not start, is placed fourth, and lastly, Agnes was second, and not The Grasshopper.— Yours, & c, ONE OF THE STEWARDS. [ Two reports of this meeting were forwarded to us last week, but, owing to their manifest inaccuracy, we declined inserting either. We now append the amended account, in accordance with the official request.] Stewards: Major Deering ( R. D. B.), Capt Glyn ( Rifle Brigade), H. Lawton, Esq ( Rifle Brigade), J. Tottenham, Esq ( 60th Rifles), G. F. Pigott, Esq ( 60th Rifles). Judge : Major Maguire ( 60th Rifles).

Nancy appeared to have the advantage until entering the cords, where Mad Wyndham challenged, and came away an easy winner by six lengths; the other two beaten off.

At this point Countess retired, and the Dutchman took up the running, the Miller, Sweep, and Santa Claus lying well up. At the last hurdle Santa Claus refused, thereby throwing away his chance. The Dutchman carried on the running to the end, and won by two lengths. The Sweep was beaten a neck for second place by the Miller.— Second heat: They all got well over the first hurdle. At the drop flight Santa Claus fell, the the Miller, and the Dutchman lying close together, the running being made by the Queen.

MONDAY, JAN 5.— From the questionable manner,— as set forth in our last,— that marked the " getting up" this meeting, more especially with regard to the entries and handicaps, the public in general were pretty well prepared for an equally unsatisfactory result. The whole affair turned out as might have been antici- pated, and arrangements for the convenience of the public and punctuality as to bringing off the sport were alike disregarded. The United Handicap was followed bj' squabbling, and disquali fications,— anent which we leave Mr Coburn, the owner of Joe Maley, to tell his own tale,— and the third and last affair of the day was run off in the dark. Under these, and other circum- stances that have come under our notice, we decline giving more than an outline of the racing, such as it was. The UNITED HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 40 added ? second saved his stake ; winners extra; three miles and a half; 29 subs. Mr H.

Joe Maley took the lead the third time ground, and won by a length and a half; a neck separated Multum in Parvo and Cork- screw ; Canteen was fourth. An objection against the first and second, on the ground of having gone on the wrong side of a post, was heard by the stewards, who disqualified Joe Maley and Multum in Parvo, and awarded the race to Corkscrew.

SIR : At the meeting of the Gainsborough and Trent Port steeple chases, run on Monday last, the 5th inst, in which my horse, Joe Maley, was the winner of the United Handicap, I not only feel much aggrieved, but also disgusted, at the treat- ment I have received from the stewards, inasmuch as, after my horse came in and was weighed and passed, I naturally expected I was the winner; but to my great astonishment, after the lapse of an hour, and when weighing for the Union Hunt Cup, I was then apprised, for the first time, that my horse was disqualified for having knocked down a flag, which was done ty the jockey's feot, who still kept on the outside. Upon making inquiry I learned that out of six only two of the stewards would act, the others, having backed Corkscrew, declining to do so. Under such treatment I consider it a duty not only to myself, but also to the public, to bring this to your notice, much regretting I should have to do so, and trusting you will have the kindness to insert the same in your next.— Yours, & c, CHAS. COBURN. Albert Hotel, Salford, Manchester, Jan 7. We subsequently received the following communication from Mr Coburn :— MR EDITOR : In addition to the letter sent last evening, I have to add that, although I was mulct out of the stakes for the United Handicap at Gainsborough, I have not yet received the stakes for the second race, viz, the Union Hunt Cup, as the en- closed balance sheet will prove. I should feel much obliged by your adding this to my former letter, and leave you to judge as to the scandalous proceedings which took place at Gainsborough. — Yours, & e, Jan 8. C. COBURN.

TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : I notice that Jerusalem and The Freshman have been entered for the Grand National Steeple Chase at Liverpool. I have been informed that they were entered by Mr Wm. Murray, of Manchester. I beg to state that Mr Murray has no right or title to the horses. They are my property, as Mr Murray well knows, under a bill of sale from Capt C. A. C. Talbot to secure £ 1,000 and interest. This bill of sale is unsatisfied, and the power of entering the horses belongs to me, or to whom I may appoint. Idistinctly warned Mr Murray not to enter the horses. The entry, therefore, I take it, is a void one; if not, I will take care that the horses do not run until I am paid.— Yours, & c, RICHARD MARSHALL.

THE SPORTING REVIEW.—[ Rogerson and Tuxford.]— The lead- ing illustration of the New Year number is a portrait of Colonel Towneley, so distinguished alike for his Olympic and bucolic successes. The companion plate, after Abraham Cooper, aptly turns on the well- known hunting incident of " A Lost Shoe;" while a really tasty vignette embodies the portrait of a favourite beagle, the property of Her Majesty. The literary matter is very varied, embracing as it does " Experiences in Wild Fowl Shoot- ing," " Reminiscences of a Cantab," " Salmon Fishing on the Tay," " ' Fly' Hunting," and " January SportiBg," in addition to the customary standing dishes. Of these, " Bachelor's Hall'' is devoted to a not badly- set scene of high life below stairs, to be interrupted, of course, by the unexpected arrival of " master'' himself. Then, in « ' Bport, Indeed," Lord William Lennox dis- plays his wonted ingenuity in disposing of old lamps for new ones, and the " Omnibus" still worms its way over the heavy Tarragona ground, though the passengers, as one would think, must be terribly in want of a change of scene. Like tha oppo- sition, the old Favourite makes no great flourish at starting afresh, and we have seen the drag better loaded. THE FIRE AND LOSS OF SIX LIVES IN SGHO. — On Tuesday Mr. Bedford resumed the inquiry into the cause of the deaths of Samuel Spencer, Sarah Ann Spencer, Emily Spencer, Joel Walker Spencer, Edward Spencer, and Alfred Bpencer. The adjournment was held in the Vestry Hall, St » James's. After hearing further evidence, the jury returned a verdict, " That the children lost their lives by burning, in consequence of a fire taking place at the house, 6, Portland- street; but the jury have had no evidence placed before them as to the cause of the same. The jury strongly censure the conduct of Denyer, the turncock, in not rendering that aid when called upon toy the police, which they consider it the duty of every man to give in all similar cases.'' SUPPLEMENT TO BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JANUARY 11, 1863. THE CHASE. THE HEYTHBOP HOUNDS AND COUNTRY. BY " CECIL." The great diversity of country which signalises this far- famed district, highly interesting as it is to those who follow hounds o'er hill and dale, is any thing but conducive to scent, therefore, to ensure runs, it is imperatively necessary in breeding hounds that the essential faculty of nose be studied with the utmost care. On the north- western bounday, about Moreton- in- the- Marsh and Btow- on- the- Wold, stone walls, hedges, and ditches, with occa. sionally the Evenload and Kingham brooks to negotiate, call forth the instincts of accomplished hunters, and a similar description of country is continued southward along the borders of the Cots- wold Hunt to Farmington Grove and New Barn, although in that neighbourhood the walls predominate, as they do, also, on the boundaries « d^ thu V. W. H. This portion includes the well- known Bradwell Grove, a meet much patronised by Oxonians, who significantly regard it as imperative to their present and future happiness to apportion their studies between Professor Hills and the more dignified authorities of the University. The vicinity of Bradwell Grove isth ebeau ideal of a stone- wall country. Central, on the southern extremity, is Wychwood Forest, a vast portion of which has latterly been broken up, and here a similar variety of fences present themselves: while near to Blenheim, verging on the Bicester Hunt, there is much strong soil of holding nature. Approaching Deddington there is a fine tract of country, from whence, striking a line westward to Moreton- in- the- Marsh, the confines of the Warwickshire Hunt are represented. The nature of the fences may be accepted as descriptive of the quality of the soil. Where the walls prevail the land is arable; hedges and ditches denote pasture fields, which in wet weather are deep and holding. It may well be designated a nice compact country, the greatest extent from east to west not exceeding twenty miles, and its breadth fifteen. But then it is well stocked with foxes. The Bourton woods are always well tenanted, and the name of Lord Leigh, as the owner of the coverts at Addle- Btrop, is a sufficient indication that if there were not an abun- dance of foxes, the keepers would no longer hold their ap- pointments. A few years since the well- merited compliment, the presentation of a cup, was conferred on Mr Pratt for his inde- fatigable guardianship at Bruern and Tongley. Mr Waller at Farmington, and Lords Barrington and Sherborne, whose estates are in proximity, are alike devoted to the welfare of the hunt; while at Heythrop, since the Earl Shrewsbury lias kept the coverts in his own possession, the foxes are carefully protected. Lord Macclesfield's mandates are imperative at Ensliam, and equally so are Lord Dillon's at Ditchley. Foxes abound at Blenheim, and the Duke of Marlborough contributes to the funds. Barton was always well stored during the lifetime of Mr Hall, and his son and successor pays the affectionate tribute to his respected father's memory by following in his footsteps. So likewise the coverts at Tackley are as well cared for by Mrs Evetts as they were during her late husband's time. Tar- wood, on Lord Harcourt's estate, is invariably well tenanted, under the supervision of his lordship's stewart, Mr John Lord, whose hospitalities are extended to men, horses, and honnds, whenever they visit that extremity of the country. It was with freat regret I heard in a distant quarter of a keeper having been ischarged for want of due respect to the foxes, and that his master, with charitable forbearance and kindness, on taking the man again into his services, found himself deceived, and com- pelled finally to carry into effect his first intention. The publica- tion of this inefficient keeper's name would be a salutary caution to him and others of his craft, and would be the best means of checking the reprehensible system of fox destruction. The antecedents of this country are ancient and of a truly aristocratic order. During the latter portion of the eigh- teenth century the Lord Foley of that day introduced a very superior pack" of hounds into the county of Oxford; but it must be observed this was a predecessor of the noble lord who hunted the Quorn and Worcestershire countries. The pre- sent limits of the Heythrop hunt were not, however, then de- fined, neither was it recognised by that descriptive term. The Badminton country not affording sufficient scope for the sport- ing spirit inherent in the ducal family of Beaufort, and keenly exemolified in the fifth duke, his grace undertook to hunt the two, alternate months, for which purpose Heythrop House was rented, hence the designation of the country; and kennels, with a view to temporary convenience, were erected in the park. At what date this arrangement took place I am not prepared to state, but it was certainly long prior to the commencement of the pre- sent century. In the year 1802 Philip Payne was engaged as huntsman at Badminton, having previously occupied a similar position in Cheshire, and with the Cottesmore Hounds. An anecdote is related of him on his arrival at Badminton, illustrative of his introducing a new system of kennel management. After having fed the hounds, and about to walk them out into the park, the whippers- in proceeded, as had been their custom, to couple up the hounds. '' Oh, take those couples away," he exclaimed, we don't want them,'' To which a whipper- in rejoined, " We always couple them, sir, that they may not break away after the deer." Philip's order, liewever, was imperative, and the hounds evinced no disposition to riot, much to the astonishment of the whippers- in. For a quarter of a century this veteran of the chase accompanied the hounds on their visits to iTeythrop, improving the pack, and showing capital sport. Great and glorious were the doings in those days. Chapel House, a highly famed caravansary, handy to the kennels, affording the very best of fare, was patron- ised by those members of the Hunt who were compelled either to leave their Badminton homes or forego the pleasures of fox- hunting during the absence of the hounds. The expenses and in- oonvenienoes our forefathers necessarily encountered are happily averted by divisions of countries and other changes in our social habits. Age and infirmities working on Philip, in 1826 he resigned his horn in favour of William Long, under whose care the Duke of Beaufort's Hounds continued to hunt this country till the spring of 1835, when, in consequence of ill health, his grace signified his intention to confine his hunting to the neighbourhood of Badmin- ton. A few years previous to the duke's resignation a portion of the mansion of Heythrop was destroyed by fire; thus being de- prived of a residence, his grace madeCliapel House his temporary abode during a part of the season after the occurrence of the disaster. In the November of the year in which the noble duke withdrew the hounds, which for so many years had afforded such magnificent sport, his grace was called " to that bourne from which no traveller returns," but not without making a lasting impression on the hearts of all who had the good fortune to parti- cipate in his innumerable acts of courtesy and kindness. It was supposed in those days that the two countries could net individually contain foxes sufficient for two packs of hounds, and much difficulty existed ; but a committee was eventually formed and the requisite funds raised, the management being vested in Mr Langston, aided by the powerful influence of Lord Redesdale A huntsman had to be engaged and a pack of hounds procured! more of which as I proceed. A triennial mastership terminated Mr Langston's prominent and popular efforts, to whom succeeded Lord Macclesfield, then Mr Parker. In 1840 Lord Clonbrock was at the head of affairs for a period similar to that of Mr Langston During the succeeding twelve years Lord Redesdale took the en- tire control, conducting everything with that excellent judgment taste and discrimination which is ever essential to happy results' and most felicitously were they fulfilled. The duties of the Upper House prevailing over all other considerations in the estimation of his lordship, after the annual business had com- menced his absence in the hunting field has been a source of much regret, for no master of hounds was ever more popular qr their opinions on hunting matters more valued and respected! On Lord Redesdale's withdrawal from the active duties of M. F. H. in 1855, Mr Hall was induced to occupy that ostensible position. A better sportsman, a better manager, a better master or a better judge of hounds and hunting could not have been se- lected. I might be accused of flattery, but alas ! he has gone to those realms where no flattery can reach him. It is only a just tribute to his memory to say, and to which I am certain every sportsman and every individual in the Heythrop country will respond, that he possessed every good quality a country gentle- man could possess. In the spring of the past year ill health com- pelled Mr Hall to relinquish his trust, when Colonel Thomas who had astonished the Turks with a pack of foxhounds during the Crimean war, was appointed as his successor. I must now try back to Jem Hills and the hounds, and although the latter are accustomed to take precedence in the field, I think the huntsman may be entitled to that compliment on paper. His career has been an eventful and fortuitous one, affording a pleasing example of what may be effected by integrity of purpose and steady conduct. At the early age of tea he was turned adrift upon the world to seek his fortune, with nothing more to ensure^ his advancement than a suit of clothes and a shilling in his pocket. He soon got into the service of the Duke of Dorset, and was' initiated in the mysteries of whipping- in to a pack of harriers in Kent; where he also attended his grace as pad groom. But in con- sequence of an unfortunate and fatal accident which befel the duke in Ireland the establishment was broken up. Hills then got an engagement to ride second horse and assist in whipping in for Mr Maberly, among the hills and flints of Surrey, where his elder brother, Tom, was huntsman. When little more than eighteen he gained a step as kennel huntsman and head whip to Col Wyndham remaining there till the breaking up of the establishment in 1826' whereupon he came to London, and the Duke of Beaufort' offering him a vacant second whip's appointment, although it might be considered a retrograde movement, he had the good sense to undertake it, W. Long at that time being hunts- man and W. Todd first whip. At Badminton, Hills con- tinued five seasons, when he engaged himself to the late Earl Ducie, then the Hon H. Moreton, who had just commenced hunting the Vale of White Horse. Here he had a fine opportu- nity of improving practically on the observations he had made, as a new pack was formed from drafts. At the termination of the succeeding five years the Heythrop country being established, he was engaged as huntsman, where he has remained ever since, esteemed and regarded by all classes with whom he is concerned! Some years ago, from over exertion, he had the misfortune to rupture a blood- vessel, and for two seasons his nephew, George Hills, took the hom; but fortunately rest restored him, and as all good ones do, " he came again," as cheery as ever. The foundation of the pack was laid with twenty- five couples front the Duke of Beaufort's, twenty- one couples from Lord Rad- nor's, ten or twelve couples from Lord Ducie's, including Rocket, whose descendants do him great credit, five couples of bitches from Mr Drake's, and an unentered draft from the Warwickshire. These, it must be understood, with the exception of the latter' were selections, not drafts, from which it is a fallacy to suppose that any man can form an efficient pack for very many years. On this point I will quote an extract from a letter of a very eminent master of hounds, who writes:—" Except some old family packs, very few can call themselves self- constituted, and all who have anything to do with the breeding of hounds, know that on such packs only can reliance be placed for keeping up the foxhound in his full excellence, not merely of form and substance, but of the more material points of nose and staunchness." I will, however venture to introduce a remark on this subject, for even in jthe old- established packs there are certain strains of blood which runs in families so much more valuable for the powers of transmitting good qualities to their progeny, that it is only by fche exercise of great judgment and experience, that the greatest success will follow. Of late years the Heythrop have never made up their entry jrom other packs, and to Hills is due all the credit of making them what they now are. He has not roamed promiscuously for sires, confining himself principally to the Bel voir, the Badminton, Lord FitzWilliam's, and the Berkeley kennels, not, however, over- looking the Warwickshire Tarquin, that he was the first to patroKise. Observing that hound when, I think, only in his second season, carrying a very low scent, he expressed a wish to secure his services, when it was objected that he was too plain to breed from, and somewhat inclined to be leggy; but Jem was not to be beaten from his point; he wanted nose, and the personal inelegancies he argued he could correct by careful selections of partners. He had the hound, and most valuable are his descend- ants. The Brocklesby Plunder rendered vast service, and the Berkeley Nathan has faithfully conveyed the good quality of his ancestors. This hound I had occasion to mention in my visit to the Worcestershire kennels, alluding at the same time to his brother, Neighbour, a great favourite in Lord Giffard's pack, re- markable for the fine coats he transmitted to his progeny, a cha- racteristic which I find appertains also to Nathan. The principal stud hounds bred at these kennels whose progeny are inheriting the good qualities of their race are Mercury, a son of Manager and Whirlwind; the sire conveys the Oakley blood through their Factor. Ajax introduces a good strain from Mr Foljambe's Victor, with Affable. There is now a valuable in- fusion from the Belvoir kennels, to be seen in two brothers, Harlequin and Hamlet, by their Pilot, and Heroine, a daughter of the Berkeley Hector and Pamela. Hills considers Harlequin to be the fastest hound he ever saw, and his looks confirm the opinion. A finer shaped hound can scarcely be imagined. With length and true proportions, there are in him combinations of quality indicating high breeding and all the true characteristics of the Belvoir family. He is remarkably fine about and below his hocks, I might say rather light, but his thighs are good. His head, neck, shoulders, body, and loins are superlative ; his colour, a rich black and tan, with a little white, and a few tick marks, is the true representative of the blood from which he comes. Granby is a son of the Belvoir Grappler and Gipsy, Proctor, by the Belvoir Pilot and Gaiety, a daughter of the Belvoir Grappler and Gipsy, are full of Belvoir lineage. Granby and Gaiety, although brother and sister, are not of the same litter. Ferryman is by Nathan and Fanciful, and has very clever representatives in Waspish, Welcome, and Whirlwind, descended from Wakeful, in their third season. Middleton, who traces back to Rocket, one of the first inmates of these kennels from Earl Ducie's pack, is a son of PilgiiRl and Mindful; Pilgrim, by the Badminton Fleecer, or, more correctly, Mr Morrell's Fleecer, as he was bred by that gentleman, from the Berkeley Furrier and his own Heroine, and included in a lot which the Duke of Beaufort purchased at the Tubney sale. Middleton is the sire of several very useful hounds in their second and third seasons. Ranger, a four season hunter, possesses the fine symmetry of his sire, Harlequin. Murmurer, a year his senior, a son of Mercury and Heedless, on short, good legs, will proclaim his preterifons as a progenitor in the entry of next season. Modish, a wondeTfully handsome liare- pied matron, descended from Mercury and Affable, having had for her lover the Brocklesby Fairplay, is well represented by Famous, Flourish, Foreman, and Forester. Factor, a young hound, entered this sea- son, takes my fancy immensely, and if he proves as good in his work as he is on the flags, I must give him the precedence over any other of his year. He is a son of the Duke of Beaufort's Foiler and Needful, a granddaughter of Nathan. Foiler is de- scended from Falstaff, a sire of much repute at Badminton. Precious, a daughter of the North Staffordshire Pilot, with great depth, and a fine, imposing frame, looks like producing a family of high pretensions. Rachel, Racket, Rambler, Rapture, Rector, and Remnant claim much of the kennel heritage to which they are ornaments. They are the produce of Jonathan and Rally. The former, a son of Clarendon and Rally, is a daughter of Lord Fitz- william's Richmond. Short legs, good bone, and activity cha- racterise this litter, and I can speak in high terms of Racket and Rector in their work. Rakish, Resolute, Rhapsody, and Rosalind claim Harlequin as their sire, and Ransom as their dam, and are well worthy of their parentage, the stamp of their father being most impressively conveyed In breeding these hounds Jem Hills has adopted a most import- ant principle— never to overlook the necessity of endeavouring to obtain good noses and working qualities. Since I last saw them, four years ago, they are certainly improved in their appearance, being shorter on the leg, and with quite as much bone as is com- patible with activity. To Hills is due all the credit, as he has ex- ercised his own judgment, uninflaenced from the first. It is not the pack only that is entrusted to his care, but also the horses, of which there are fifteen or sixteen very useful animals; indeed the whole of the establishment is under his supervision. The kennels at Heythrop, which were in use for many years, were only erected with a view to temporary accommodation for the Duke of Beaufort's Hounds when they paid their accostomed visits, and they were very unhealthy. Some four years ago new ones were erected about a mile from Chipping Norton 0n the left of the road to Moreton- in- the- Marsh, and they possess every ne- cessary convenience. There are many allurements to this neigh- bourhood, especially for those who prefer a quiet winter's sport without encountering the costly expenditure and revelling in the gaieties of more populous hunts. There is a good hotel at Chipping Norton, and stabling to a great extent can be obtained at Mr BiggerstafFs, whose love of horses . prompts him to combine his weolstapling speculations with ample and complete accom- modation for hunters; and if any of his well finished boxes are not tenanted by visitors' horses they are generally filled with his own, which are all of high pretensions. Still there is the all- powerful attraction, a very first- rate pack of hounds; and to hear Jem Hills's cheer, when they first find their fox, and his still more exciting and inimitable halloo, when he breaks away, is worth riding any distance to enjoy. I do not believe any packs of hounds have this year, up to the present period, had to boast of great sport, not, indeed, an average; but these have experienced more than most others. Their doings in the early days of the season have been already ably chronicled in these columns, since which they had a capital day's sport from Eye- ford. Afterdrawingthosefavouritecoverts without achallengethey adjourned to Slaughter Copse, where, finding, they ran merrily over the hill, leaving Eyeford. House on the left to Slaughter Vil- lage, and, with grass all the distance to Slaughter Copse, away again for Swell Bowl, up the hill to Stow- on- the- Wold, where the fox was headed back to Upper Swell, and made his point straight up the hill to Foley's Gorse, and in one hour and 30 minutes the gallant pack ran into him in the farmyard at Donnington. The Orawthorne not holding a fox they went on to Bezincote Gorse. from whence a fine fox broke for the Crawthorne, leaving the village on the left for Moreton- in- the Marsh, leaving that town also on the left, through Batsford Park, across the turnpike road near Bourton Wood, when, hearing the Cotswold hounds, the fox heacded short back for Lord Redesdale's park, where the hounds rolled him over, close" under the wall, after a clipping burst of 25 minutes. Bleddington Mill being in the midst of a good country, I made choice of that meet to see the hounds in the field. There was rather a numerous assemblage, honoured by the presence of the Prince de Joinville, the Duke de Chartres, and a son of the Duke d'Aumale. Lord Redesdale was also among the number, and his interest in the proceedings of the day does not appear in the least to have diminished. Bruern Wood was visited— a cover of some ex- tent, where, in by- gone days, I have seen foxes requiring a vast deal of eloquent persuasion to induce them to leave, but it was not so on this occasion. The presence of the hounds appeared to be by no means welcome, and scarcely had they announced that there was a fox at home than a brace were viewed away. With the alacrity Jem Hills is wont to adept, actively seconded by his son Tom, and Charles Roberts, the under- whip, the hounds were quickly out of cover, and, settling to the scent by Mr Langston's Farm, ran at a merry pace to the Norrels, and leaving Meirecourt Farm on the left, to Puddlicot Quarries, where there was a check. It was anything but a good scenting day, and all Jem's acknowledged skill and the exquisite hunting powers of the pack were called in requisition. Making one of his able casts, the hounds hit off the line across the Chipping Norton road, and across the Burford road among the stone walls. Leaving Chadlington on the right, headed short back, crossing the Burford and Chipping Norton road for Barsgrove. Here the greater portion of the held, appear- ing to have come to the conclusion that the run was over, quietly waited in the road; but the fox went straight across the cover, and over the hill to Boulters Barn, leaving it on the right, across the Chipping Norton and Churchill road, down to Kingham Brook, over which Major Shirley and Tom Hills were the only two w( ho rode. In Kingham fields there was a check, when a halloo back by the mill set all right again, and the hounds ran merrily for Churchill heath, leaving Churchill village on the left to Mr Langston's pleasure grounds, where; among the shrubs, there was, of course, little or no scent, and here Hills's masterly tactics served him. Instead of leaving his hounds to contend with a difficulty verging on impracticability, he held them on to the extremity of the plan- tations, where, as the fox had left, they got again on fair terms, and ran him up to the Burford and Chipping Norton- road, close to Puddlicot Quarries; having him dead beat, the hounds were evidently running into him, but they were defeated, either by a sheep dog or some greyhounds which were near to the spot where they suddenly checked, and could never hit the line of the fox a yard afterwards. The hounds well deserved blood, as none could behave better than they did driving gloriously and carrying a good head when there was £ scent to serve them, and when there was not, hunting with the greatest perseverance. Primrose, Mystery, Sailor, Racket, and Rector particularly distinguished themselves. It is due to Major Shirley to mention that, on the day he had so much the beat of it with the Warwickshire Hounds from Wich- ford Wood, there were others who got away besides himself and the second whipper in, but that he cut them down one by one, having it to himself till a lucky turn allowed some of the field to fall in with the pack. But a significant sequel remains to be told. On his arrival at home, and about to take off his coat, he drew the fox's brush from the pocket, when his German valet ex claimed with extacy, " Ah ! sare, den you have shot him at last, GALLANT RUN WITH THE BADSWORTH. MB EDITOB : The last meet in the old year for this justly- celebrated pack took place on the 30th Dec, at Womersley Park, the seat of their noble master, Lord Hawke, who has for a period of no less than flve- and- thirty years conducted the Badsworth in thoroughly sportsmanlike manner, to the satisfaction and gra- tification of every one. No one was ever more anxious to show sport, or, with that urbanity for which he is distinguished, more successful in maintaining a hearty good fellowship, which evinces the tact required in that most difficult of all positions— a good Master of Hounds. The hall was full of company, according to the hospitable annual custom of the noble host and hostess, who every Christmas are surrounded by their friends and rela- tions. His lordship has for years been ardently attached to manly sports, and proved to demonstration that an abundance of game in his own coverts is in no way incompatible with a rare show of foxes, no matter when the hounds visit his property, and particularly around his home. Owing to a torrent of rain in the morning of this memorable day we are about to chro- nicle, the field was nothing like so numerous as usual. After partaking of the hospitalities of the noble lord, the field moved off' up the park to the Oak Plantation, from which renowned covert, during cub hunting last Doncaster race week, no less than a dozen foxes were viewed, and three of them killed on the same day. On this occasion it amply maintained its reputation, for scarcely had the hounds entered ere " view halloas" in various directions proved that more than one fox was already afoot. Indeed, three were seen to quit their haunt. Luckily, the pack settled to one of the right sort, guided by the cheery voice of that true specimen of aYorkshiresportsmtn, dauntless Mr Day, the melody of whose notes is as fully appreciated in the drawing- room as in the field. Reynard, breaking away at the low end of the wood, made up- wind for Fishpond Wood, and then raced over Stapleton Park, with the hounds close to his brush. Fortunately for him, he reached the plantation adjoining Brokendale, where, finding up- wind too warm to be agreeable, he doubled back tswards Castle Farm, leaving it to the right, and, sinking the hill, went through Kingsland Wood, and over the road between Womersley and Darrington, straight for Rose Wood as hard as he could pelter. Disdaining, however, this cover, he turned for the flat country below Womersley, crossing the railway close to New Spring Lodge, and passing in rear of Woodhall, he and the hounds were viewed in the same field. Here the pace was truly terrific. Skirting Daffy Wood, he then made for that celebrated hold, Fox Wood, but the pack were too close for him to find any rest there; away and away he went with his head straight for Whitley, not showing the least distress, but the field becoming select and the pace very severe. He then crossed the turnpike near Whitley Bridge, making as if for the canal, which, however, he did not face, preferring to continue his course alongside it for some dis- tance in the direction of Pollington, when, breaking off' to the right, he made at once to Balne Moor, crossing which he entered Martin Wood, expecting rest at last, but where, alas ! for him, none was to be found. Here the hounds came to a check, and most acceptable it was for both horses and riders— even those who had secured their second mount. After some little delay, Ned O wen, the huntsman, by a judicious cast, hit him off; onward they went as if for Balne Hall Wood. This he would not have, but made direct for the Went, crossing over at a point neither jumpable nor ford- able. The pack, in full cry, dashed into the river, leaving the field to follow as best they could. By a happy chance Sykehouse Bridge was not far off, for which they made, the hounds mean- while streaming over the flat in beautiful style. After crossing the bridge, a road in the right direction, by rare good fortune, enabled the field to nick the line near the site of the old Syke- house Whin; leaving Fen wick some distance on the right, on they went, bearing away to Kickhouse Green; passing which, after rattling him across a dozen fields or so, as if for Stainforth, this gallant pack pulled him down in the open after a glorious and exciting chase from find to finish of two hours ! The distance from point to point, ' cross country, " as the crow flies," was not less than fourteen miles, and this fine day's sport was over by one o'clock. Among those up at the finish were the noble master and his brother, the Hon S. Hawke, who still main- tains his proud position as the crack rider of the hunt; also Sir Lionel Pilkington, Sir William Cook, Messrs Bland, Charles- worth, Neilson, Micklethwaite, Fisher, Day, Jackson, & c. It was the best run yet known, during the present season, with any hounds in this district. We congratulate Lord Hawke upon the success he so well deserves, and hope he may live to enjoy many more such days, and we be there to Fee them. In parting, let us quote a verse from the ever welcome song— " Now all ye choice spirits who rode In this run, May you yet add fresh laurels to those you have won; And in bumpers of claret, while blithe mirth resounds. Give a health to Lord Hawke, and success to his hounds. Singing bally- na- mona, helgh- ho! The hounds— the Old Bads- worth for me." - Yours. & c, ONE or THEM, LORD POLTIMORE'S HOUNDS. MB EDITOB: You often announce to your subscribers that you receive with pleasure any accounts of good runs which may have fallen to their lot to witness, either " in the shires,'' as cer- tain hunting grounds are termed ( par excellence, I suppose), or in countries more remote, and far more wild. In the hope, then, that my brief account of the three last days' sport I have wit- nessed may be amusing to those of your readers who happen to know the locality, or to others who rejoice to hear that the blood of our ancient nobles is not flowing in the veins of unworthy sons, I will commence my budget by saying that, " being a lone man,'' I set out on my travels about a week since, and happening accidentally to drop my anchor on Tuesday, Dec 30, within reach of Lord Poltimore's Hounds, and being, moreover, offered a mount on the following morning by the kind friend in whose house I was temporarily located, I took advan- tage of it, and jogged on with him to Bradford Plantation — a wild spot on the road which leads from Dorchester to Bridport. The hounds arrived to the minute, looking as a pack of foxhounds should lsok— bright in their coats, and full of muscle. " Give them a scent," said I to myself, " and they will account for him on most days." The master and men were well mounted, and the whole establishment " looked like business." The field appeared to me to be small, but before we found'our fox it had increased to full three hundred horses, and about a tithe of that number of " footers." We drew some open plantations and a wild bare common or two '' blank," and then trotted- off to Hampton Brake— a very foxy- looking covert of Mr Sheridan's, © f Frampton— and in one minute there was a " tally'' from a voice I thought I had heard in olden times, from one with whom " I had ridden side by side in many a wild and glorious chase," and whose hand I was glad to have the chance of shak- ing before " Falstaff'' and his blood- thirsty companions came " staring" out of the matted gorse. Away we went, Mr Editor, tied to his brush for 45 minutes over an open line of country, that is to say, therewasnot an impracticable fence in theline, but hounds beat us all— master, men, and field. The string of weary men and horses, extending some two or three miles in length, was melancholy to look upon. There was nothing dis- graceful, however, in being beaten in such a run as this, for it was the " run of the season," nine miles in 45 minutes, over severe and trying ground, and many a good horse was " blown," though I have not yet heard of anything serious in the stables of the members of the hunt. Well, we ran into him at Winford, and there was but one man out— and he was on a melancholy- looking animal, and, I suppose, was not aware of the peculiar appearanee of his quadruped— who wished to draw for another fox. Bo we all retired to our domestic hearths, sadder if not wiser men, for we were " read a lecture'' which some of us shall not easily forget, namely, to keep a little in hand when the pace is very severe. This was my first day, and as my host offered me a second " mount" I could not in courtesy refuse it, so I met " the ladies" at Arms well on the following Friday. Our first fox was of a sort, I hope, never to see perpetuated, and fortunately he soon fell a prey to the persecuting spirit of the bitches. The second was of a better family ; he was found in a beautful hillside gorse of Mr Charles Hawkins, of Alton. He gave us a run of one hour and 15 minutes, and literally died before the hounds touched him. The sport I had thus far witnessed with these hounds induced me to lengthen my stay in the hospitable county of Dorset, to meet them at Corscombe on Saturday, Jan 3. We found almost imme- diately in a withy bed, and, getting away on good terms, ran a brilliant 35 minutes over a rather difficult grass country, to the dis- comfiture of a large and - widely- squandered field, killing him in the open. It is but fair to say that an old and well- known sportsman from the west, who was a guest of the master, was one of the first six up at the finish. A fast 15 minutes to ground with our second fox terminated this first- rate week's sport— Yours, & c, VIATOR. LORD LECONFIELD'S FOXHOUNDS. This famous pack has been showing good sport both on the downs and in the weald of Sussex, and, thinking that some few particulars of their doings on the last two days of the old year might not be uninteresting to your readers, I send them, but must apologise for any shortcomings, having but an imperfect know- ledge of the country. The meet on Monday, Dec 29, was at New- bridge, near Billingshurst, and, notwithstanding that the rain came down in torrents, there was a very good muster. The first fox was found in Mr Farhall's copse, and chopped very quickly. • A cover belonging to Mr J. Napper, was next drawn, and a second fox soon started, and after a ring round by Laker's Lodge he ran aground near that place. Wephurst was next tried, and a third fox found, and he proved a thorough good one, going at a rattling pace for Sladeland, by the back of the house, on to the village of Rirdford, but, being hard pressed, he turned to the left and ran nearly the same line back to Wephurst, where he was killed, ' after a magnificent run of one hour and 57 minutes over a country so stiff that all the field werequite used up. The rendezvous on Wednesday, Dec 31, was the Teglease Gate, on the estate of the Bishop of Oxford, a spot well known to all lovers of the chase. The hounds having been thrown in, the cheering announcement of " gone away'' was heard, and we soon found that pug was making the best of his way to Duneton Hanger ; but turning to tbe right, he made direct to the racing stables, where he was headed by some foot people, and turned back to the Teglease again, the hounds close at him, and going at a pace that soon left many of the field in the rear. There was no shelter for him here, so he again broke cover, and made his point for Molecombe; and leaving Eastdean Wood and Charlton Forest to the right, went nearly down to Eastdean Village, from thence to Waltham Gate. Leaving Selhurst Park to the right, he again made for the Teg- lease, but before reaching that place he sought refuge in a rabbit burrow at a place called the Sticking Pits, from whence he was speedily ejected and broken up, the time being one hour 15 minutes, with only one slight check, and then, by a judicious oast, he was soen hit off again. A second fox was found at the Benges, near the road leading from Chichester to Pet- worth, and he quickly led the way to Potcombe, and, leaving Red Copse to the left, crossed the tan gallop of the late Lord George Bentinck, and the top part of the Winkens, on to Pilligreen Lodges, thence by Molecombe, under the park wall to the old Goodwood House, where this gallant fox yielded up his brush, after a run of half an hour, the pace being of a racing character throughout, many of the field being beaten off; indeed, it was pronounced by all present to be the fastest run they were ever en- gaged in. Thus ended this pleasant day's sport, a fitting termina- tion of the year 1862, ana we" were only sorry that neither the noble owner nor his sons were present to part icipate in it. We can- not conclude without a word of praise to Shepherd, the hunts- man, for the splendid condition of the hounds ; neither can we speak too highly of the masterly way in which they are handled by him. Up to the close of the year 60| had been foiled. This, we believe, is unprecedented with this pack. taking his place in turn, onward they pressed him across the beautiful enclosures, not a cover to be reached within three miles, and fencing enough for a glutton. The Gransdon Brook was safely cleared by all but one gentleman on a black horse, and his nag, I hear, was dragged out. Forward was the cry; crossing Croxton Park, and leaving Mr Newton's mansion on our left, and on to Ettisley Wood; here the hounds got up to their fox, and pulled him down in gallant style after a good straight hunt- ing run of one hour and 20 minutes. At the moment the hounds killed their fox, a fresh one was viewed; the hounds going away close at his brush as straight as a line. A regular " bellows to mend" this, and he was run to ground at Caxton, after 20 minutes, the fastest I have seen this season.— Yours, & c, A FARMER. TIE SOUTH BERKSHIRE. DEAR BELL: South Berks has at length been favoured with such rains as have not only swollen the noble Thames, but also rewarded our almost exhausted patience with a real scenting day. Since I wrote ( now five weeks ago) not one day of scent has fallen to our lot, and I imagine our poor huntsman must have thought his lot a hard one. Still he never grew weary, and " Hoick, hoick, on, on,'' encouraged the young ladies, who, I believe, with th'e patience and elasticity of their sex, would alone have coped day after day with the vile scent of the past six weeks. Some days after running well for a whole hour the one thing needful in hunting faded quite away with the varmint only crawl- ing j ust before into covert. The fixture on Tuesday was Streatley— the identical one on the last occasion of my penmanship— so that luck favours the fine old sportsman who inhabits that mansion, favoured by the presence of the owner of Unhill. The master's orders were given to draw it, and in compliment. I presume, to Mr Morrell, the varmint was at home, but doomed quickly to be driven thence. The hounds soon told us what the rain had done, for the mighty ring of some 36 tongues heralded that sport might be expected. Away they flew over the downs, pointing for College Wood; but, changing his course, he veered towards Streatley Wood, ran through it with the hope of gaining Basildon, but, being headed, he went away to Mill Copse, but, instead of entering it, he tried an artful dodge of laying down in some thick turnips outside, and probably the presence of some work- people in the wood might have led to this strategy. Miss Violet, however, winded him, and raced him fairly down in view of the whole field; but Master Reynard declining her embrace, freed himself, and got into the woodlands. The crash through this was glorious, and he broke again towards The Grotto, the pace over those open fields being tremendous; the fox, however, finding his life unsafe above ground, sought in a rabbit hole safety beneath ; but in vain Fatima worked him ; the terrier was sent for, and he rewarded the ladies' patience. Time, lh 5min. We then trotted on to Basildon Park, where the keeper promised us a fox, and, all honour to him, kept his word. The fox went away on the south side of the park wall unobserved till he had gone so far a dispute arose as to whether it was Simon Pure ; however, the whistle ( the master's token) soon told us his opinion, and Traviss brought the pack quickly up. They soon settled to their work, and away we all went to The Gorse like lightning, through it, and on to'Norcott, pointing towards Long Copse ; but, dis- daining shelter, this fine old fox set his head for Unhill at such a pace over the sodden ground as made it bellows to mend with not a few. After running for 20 minutes there, he again broke, as if for The Vale, but was headed, and returned to his foiled covert. Still they held a fair line, and, had daylight lasted, must have accounted for him; in fact, seven couple continued the run by themselves in the dark, and were not recovered when your correspondent left them at 5: 30, with 14 miles to his " crib" in the pouring rain. Time of running in the open, one hour, with another, at least, in covert. This, added to some twelve miles to kennels, must have been enough for the young ladies, and I should say for the servants also. Our master laughs at labour, and frequently commences his work after 100 miles upon his " Great Western'' hack, and yet no day seems too long for him. The toil, moreover, of two packs 130 miles apart, and many cares, seems in no degree to abate his vigour, for, if a difficulty arises, he is quick to see it and prompt to remedy it. In a wood- land country like ours a master who is master of the work can often give his huntsman great aid when separated from his dar- lings. We all hope he will be rewarded by many more such days as this, for a better I have not seen this season, nor do I desire one.— Yours, & c, PATIENCE. P. S. A friend has just come in, covered with mud, to tell me the South Berkshire had another clipper to- day, Wednesday. One hour and 15 minutes. THE PYTCHLEY— EXTRA0RDINAR Y DAY. MR EDITOR: Saturday, Dec 27, our meet was* at Badby Wood, a stronghold of foxes, the property, and adjoining the beauti- ful park of Sir Charles Knightley, Bart, somewhat later than usual, owing to the dilatory habits of some of the noble M. F. H.' s personal friends, for whom ( we suppose) he waited on this occa- sion. The hounds, the justly celebrated lady pack, were thrown into covert, with a brace or leash of foxes immediately afoot; we merrily ran once round the wood, and away we went with one of them for about fifteen minutes over a fine grass eountry, when we rather unaccountably lost him. A thick mist overspread the whole country, and the field were nearly as completely lost. We then proceeded to draw several spinneys, all blank, the fog in the meantime disappearing. Preston Church Wood was then drawn ( a neutral covert, hunted by both the Duke of Grafton's and Earl Spencer's Hounds) ; a brace were immediately found, and went away in the same direction with the hounds close at them; the two lines, after a few minutes, caused a slight difficulty, but the pack soon settled, and commenced a chase which, for the beautiful working, and at times the racing pace of the hounds, the time occupied in, and the distance from point to point of, the run, all considered, has seldom been surpassed. There was but a mo- mentary check, from the cause I have named, before reaching Maunsell's Heath Wood, through which we ran without leaving the line, and broke in the direction of Farthingstone Village, which we passed on our left: pointing to Jewell Wood, we left it on our right, and bending to the left, skirted Grubb's Coppice, and raced away to Adscote Thorns, which covert we also passed without a visit, and still the cry was Forward ! away ! Leaving the town of Towcester on our right, we crossed the turnpike- road and entered by no easy means the park of Easton Neston, across which the hounds seemed to fly; straight over the extensive park, over the brook ( forming on one side its boundary) by the bridge, we went at a rattling pace along the meadows, till that abomination of foxhunters, a shepherd's dog, [ appeared : he, alas! for it was thus that the varmint's life was saved— had coursed and turned our fox ; and a fresh fox, incautiously hol- loaed away from a hedgerow, for some little time caused tribula- tion, but the hounds, almost unassisted, soon after returned to the old line, and our spurs were again at work— stout horses and good men still to the fore; tired hunters and easily- satisfied riders tailing off rapidly. We ran up to the village of Paubespary, when we turned, and ran a ring back to Lord Pomfret's park at Easton, across which we again galloped, though not in time to see our way out; in short, with our fox dead beat, close before us, we were obliged to whip off'for want of light, and thus ooncluded a memorable and most exciting run of two hours and a half, in a fine country. The distance traversed could not have been less than 19 miles, the actual point 13. Among the few who saw the whole of it, I cannot omit to say, were the noble earl the master, and his huntsman, Charles Payne, both of whom, as usual, were with the hounds from beginning to end. That Lord Spencer may show us many more such like runs, and enjoy them as he knows how to do, is the sincere wish of AN OLD STAGER. P. S. Lord Spencer's Hounds had another fine hunting run of two hours 10 minutes into the heart of Mr Tailby's country on Wednesday, Dec 31, with a kill; and on Friday, Jan 2, in the morning, 30 minutes' racing pace to ground ; in the afternoon 35 minutes, too fast for most people, with a kill in the open, over some of the finest country in Northamptonshire. [ We have to thank " Sapper" for another account of the Saturday's run, as well as " X. L." for a notice of the Wednesday.] cry of " War Wire!" the other day in the neighbourhood of Misterton was happily found to be a false alarm. LINCOLNSHIRE.— THE SOUTH WOLD HUNT.— Great complaints are made by members of this hunt with respect to the scarcity of foxes in covers where they have generally been plentiful. It is hoped by some that, in consequence of the mild weather, foxes are contenting themselves with the shelter of hedge bottoms, and have not yet gone into winter quarters, but others are of opinion that they have either been shot or poisoned. THE CHESHIRE HOUNDS. MR EDITOR : It is a painful duty to perform to directly contra- dict any one, but as your correspondent " White Tops," who fa- voured you with a communication last week, so deeply regrets the want of sport these hounds have had, I cannot deny myself the plea- sure of giving you a short summary of what they have been doing, which will, I think, refute the aforesaid letter, and lead us to the conclusion that " White Tops" is either a very great glutton, or that when he wrote his liver was out of order. In the second week in October you were kind enough to insert a short notice from me, recording one of the bgfet things I have ridden to, from Combermere, killing our fox near Market Drayton in an hour and 15 minutes, and to that date ( the 17th Oct) our hounds had brought to hand 14J brace of cubs and three and a quarter brace of old foxes, and certainly had shown more sport than had been seen in this country for some years. In fact, our huntsman did the thing in quite a different style to what we had been accus- tomed to. November commenced, from what I can hear through- out England, with a bad scent, but we had a good average of sport, and I could particularise some extraordinary days— Bradfield Green, Duddon Heath, and several others that my diary records, with an extra flourish against them. December began with quite a different aspect, scent improved, and all hounds began to run, as your columns testify, and the Cheshire were not an exception ; and if you will allow me I will just dot down what they have done the last few days, and I do sincerely hope that " White Tops" was there to enjoy them. DEC 23.— Met at Cholmondeley Castle ( the bitch pack), had a racing fifteen minutes to Peckforton Hills, where they were whipped off, as our noble master had no wish to remain there all day. Found a second fox and killed, after an excellent hunting run of one hour and 10 minutes. DEC 26.— Met at Duddon Hall, found a fox, who did not seem inclined to face the open ; gave him a rattling in cover, and killed him. Went away with another, and had a good 50 minutes, but changed our fox and he beat us. DEC 29.— The scent was bad this morning, and, after losing a good deal of time in trying to hunt up to our first fox, we left him and found another at three o'clock, and, scent improving, we had a capital hour and a half, and had to stop the hounds at the forest for want of daylight. If we could but have kept on a a very little longer we must have killed him, as they were run- ning hard at the time. DEC 31.— Met at the Three Greyhounds, Rude Heath; found at Shackerley's Gorse, and had a rattling 15 minutes, and to ground; found our second fox at Mr Marshall's cover, and had one of the best and fastest 37 minutes I have ever seen, and killed. The hounds were never cast from find to finish, and there was only one very short check, but they recovered the line themselves. The scent was first rate. JAN 1, 1863.— The New Year began well, with a very long hunting run, which proved the capabilities of hounds and hunts- man, and both acted well and patiently. The meet was at Church Minshull, and the dog pack, and a brace of foxes found; and one was killed in a few furzes, and the pack then went on with the other, and had a capital hunting run into Damhall Dingles, with the fox dead beat close before them; but, unfortunately, a fresh fox was halloe'd away, and by that means deprived the hounds of the fox they so richly deserved. JAN 3.— IVIet at Bobsworth: Found a fox on the hill, and had some running, but did not do much with him. Got on better with the second, and had some nice running in a ring up to Pin- kerton Wood, where he went to grouRd. JAN 5.— A first- rate scent to- day, and the result was that we killed a fox from Noton Priory in 17 minutes, without a check. The pack went like greyhounds, and those who rode to them had their hands full. Drew Aston, where a couple of foxes jumped up, and the hounds divided, one part going to Rock Savage and the other to Bird's Wood. They both ran their foxes well, but lost. There, Mr Editor, is a plain unvarnished tale of what we have been doing lately, and as the whole month has been the same, I thi » k that we have had quite, if not rather more, than our share of sport, and, manned and horsed as this pack is, we have a bright future before us. Peter Collison has thoroughly ingra- tiated himself with all. He is courteous and civil, a thorough sportsman, hunts because he likes it, and is as tough as a weazel; he is as active and as full of go at four o'clock as he is at eleven, and he has killed 33 brace of foxes, and, thanks to our luck, we have plenty, or the country would be depopulated.— Yours, & c, BROWN TOPS, LATE LEATHER LEGGINGS. THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE HOUNDS. These hounds met on Wednesday, Jan 5, at Waresley, the at of Colonel Duncomb, where about 200 sportsmen of the right sort met the hounds; but, I am sorry to say, the " Auld Squire," the worthy master, was absent through ill- heath. After taking a glance at the pack, 20£ couple, which were certainly in first- rate trim, Captain Barnett gave the order to Press to draw Waresley Wood, and soon a fox was unkennelled, but proved to be a bad one; for, after running round the cover, he got headed, and went to ground. Weeveley Wood was next drawn, and soon " Tally- ho !" over the ride was heard ; but this fox also was not a good one, for, after a ring of a quarter of an hour, he was run to ground in a tunnel drain, and left for ano- ther day. We next trotted off for Abboteley Downs, and found one of the right sort, and a prettier find I never experienced. All the pack seemed to burst out at once with their ioyous har- mony. Pug took one ring around the downs, thinking to shake his determined foes off. but" no go," for they stuck to him in right earnest, and soon forced him to take the open in gallant style. Reynard first made his point for Waresley, but got headed by a pedestrian, turning him a little to the left, which caused a check, but Press was soon on his line again. Leaving Abbot- sley Village on our left, and Waresley Village on our right, our fox now took a straight line, and, Forward, away ! was the cry, at a fair hunting pace, the scent anything but good. It was a treat to see the pack stick to bis liflg, and carry a head. Every hound 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. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. JEM MACE AND THE UNKNOWN.— A further deposit of £ 25 a side for this match has been posted in our hands, and the backer of the Unknown, an American gentleman, has to name the time and place for the next staking. In order to satisfy both parties as to the Belt, we beg to say it is at present in the hands of a silver- smith, who has promised to forward it to us in the course of the week. GEORGE ROWE AND CHARLES CARPENTER.— These Coventry men met on Tuesday morning, Jan 6, at catch weight, for £ 20 a side. Both men had carefully trained for the event, Rowe under the veteran Paddy Gill, Coventry, and Carpenter under Morris Roberts, of Birmingham. Before the ring could be formed the appearance of the blues stopped proceedings, and a move was at once made to the village of Fleeknoe, in Northamptonshire, and the men quickly entered the ring, Howe attended by Paddy Gill and Ewens, and Carpenter by J. Fox and a friend. Rowe is in height 5ft 9in, Carpenter 5ft 6in, and Rowe was full two stone the heavier man. The betting commenced at 5 and 6 to 4 on Carpen- ter, who was known to be game. The men got to work in earnest, and some sharp fighting took place in the two first rounds. Both men in the third round came up bleeding, Carpenter having got well home over the right ogle of Rowe, from which the claret flowed, and Rowe getting heavily on the nasal organ of Carpenter. Carpenter succeeded in taking the lead in the early part of the fight, getting well on the phiz of Rowe, who, in return, planted some rattlers on the ribs, and several times threw his man heavily. As the fight progressed the odds turned in favour of Rowe, who got the best of his game opponent by weight and sheer strength. He gamely kept on, but Rowe's advantage was clearly seen as round after round went on, and after contending for Ih 37min, and 35[ rounds, Carpenter's friends, seeing the pros- trate state of their man, gave in, although much against Carpen- ter's wish. GODFREY AND RAWLINS.— These men fought, for £ 25 a side, in the neighbourhood of Hull on Tuesday, Dec 30. They fought four rounds, all in favour of Godfrey, when the police interfered, and they had to cross the Humber, where eleven more rounds were fought, in the last of which Godfrey delivered so heavily on the jaw of Rawlins that he fell insensible. The money shall be sent to Godfrey at the Sportsman, Hedon New- road, Hull. BIRMINGHAM PUGILISTS IN TROUBLE.— At the Worcester Ses- sions, on Tuesday, Jan 6, Harry ( Bodger) Crutchley of Birming- ham was fined £ 10, and 21 days' imprisonment, for seconding in the late fight between Fellows and Cook; E. Roberts fined £ 5 for the same, and J. Price £ 2 for conveying ropes and stakes for the WEST NORFOLK- MR VILLEBOIS'S HOUNDS. MR EDITOR : I hope you will find a place in your columns for the following account of our run of to- day with Mr Villebois' Hounds:— Met at Hunstanton, on the cliff overlooking the sea; a lovely morning, with the wind from the S. W., and a very large field of as good men as ever were fed on turkeys and dumplings to enjoy the fair prospect. Trotted to Hun- stanton Park, where, after drawing two or three outside woods, a splendid fox was found in the Ilex covert, round which he ran, and then broke away towards Thornham. The hounds were on him in a minute, and now followed one of the hardest and fastest runs that has been seen in Norfolk for many years. Our gallant fox went straight to Thornham where we saw him entering the covert on Beacon Hill, and fully expected to kill him there ( here another fox was on foot) but through it he went without stopping, in a line towards the Burnham Woods. The hounds were through, and on him again fast as ever ; but after a field or two they hesitated for a minute— not to say checked— and on again to within one field of the1 plantations of that good fox preserver, Mr Blytli, of Sussex Farm where they pulled him down in the open, after a run of eight miles in 53 minutes from the find, and 45 minutes from the time he broke The land was very wet and heavy, and several were tailed off, but there was a good muster at the finish, and I con- gratulate myself that I am not a West NorfolkNimrod, for a more hard riding field you seldom see, and no obstacle is allowed to keep them from the tail of the hounds.— Yours, & c, Jan 7, 1863. A STBANGER. ( ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) MR EDITOR : I hope you will honour me with a small space in Sour valuable columns for inserting the following brilliant run:— n Wednesday last these hounds met at Hunstanton Station, where a numerous field of about 150 horsemen were mustered, several gentlemen having availed themselves of the new railway which has lately been made to this place. At eleven o'clock the hounds were trotted off to draw Hunstanton Park, the property of Mr H. Le Strange, where, after drawing one or two small coverts, a fine old dog fox was quickly viewed away, which proved to be one of the right sort. Away we went, the hounds close to his brush, and, finding himself hard pressed, he broke away across the open, heading for Thornham, the scent being very good, and the pace severe; they now literally " raced" him up to Mr Hogge's covert, but Reynard, disdaining shelter, and never dwelling for an instant, " forward" was again the word; by this time several had had quite enough of it, and " bellows to mend" greatly prevailed; we now went along at a merry pace, the hounds hunting beautifully, and leaving Titchwell on our left, he skirted Brancaster Village, and again bearing to the right, his point seemed to be Sussex Farm; but, however, on nearing the Downs at Burnham Deepdale, our fox again despised these coverts, and leaving ftiem on our right, he was finally run into in the open, close to Burnham Deepdale. Time, 45min, without a single check, distance not less than eleven miles, as the " crow flies," over a most beautiful open country. But owing to the severe pace and heavy plough lands, there were but few who saw the end of this gallant fox, amongst whom we particularly noticed Sir William Ffolkes, Bart, who, although only mounted on a small pony, rode through the run in a style worthy of Leicestershire. Hoping that I may be able to send you many more such accounts of our doings with Mr Villebois's Hounds, yours, & c, ONE WHO WAS THERE. THE COTSWOLD HOUNDS. MR EDITOR : Jan 1 these hounds met at Hinchwick House, when, after partaking of the kind hospitality of that prime sportsman, Mr Tyson Smith, we trotted off' to Seezincote Warren, but not finding, went on to Stayt's Gorse, where a fox was soon halloed away, and after a sharp ring was lost. Then trying the plan- tation in front of Spring Hill House found another, which, after dodging about some time, was killed. We next proceeded to Sir Thomas Phillips' Gorse, which was drawn blank ; then trying a little spinney by Kite's Nest Farm, a gallant fox broke away, rising the hill for Middle Hill House, turned to the left for Broad- way Wood, and then skirting Sir Thomas's Gorse over to Seven Wells, passing Lygon's Gorse to the cross roads, turned to the left for Broadway Fish. From thence he bore right down the Green Bank for Campden Plantations, pointing for Weston Park, but, finding the hounds too close to his brush, he turned short to the right to Campden House, then up the hill for Westington Quarries, the hounds racing him in view. Leaving Westington Quarries to the left, he turned along the plantations for Lygon's Lodges to the Cross Roads; but, finding the hounds still close at him, he went short back for the Fish, the gallant pack running into him in splendid style. Time, 25min, and the distance about six miles, the pace completely stopping the horses. The only two who rode through the run, and well up at the finish, were Mr Corbett Holland and Mr John Cook. Turner went well with his hounds to Campden House, but his horse was dead beat, and unluckily he had not his second horse at hand. That we may have many such spins is the wish of yours, & c, HABKFORWARD. THE SCENE WITH THE BELVOIR. The Duke of Rutland has not only overlooked the fox shooting affair, but with a noble and generous spirit has written a letter, which, as an old sportsman says, " None but one of the Belvoir f* nily could write," stating " that it is the first time in his life that a farmer has ever complained of his crossing his land, and he hopes it will be the last," and a deal more, which shows the greatest forbearance and good will, so it is to be hoped that Mr Marshall has shot his last fox, and will show the same manly spirit which the duke has, in refraining from interfering upon future occasions.— Leicester Journal. THE ROCHDALE HARRIERS. DEAR BELL: On Wednesday, Dec 31, these hounds had a first- rate day's sport. They met at Clegg Hall, in Butterworth. In the early part of the day they killed two hares, one after a good hunting run of 4omin. We then tried the country in the direc- tion of Hollingwortli Lake, and found a hare close to the Tem- perance Hotel, on its bank. The hounds being quietly laid on the scent, went away at a racing pace to Clegg's Wood, and crossing that farm turned sharp to the right, as if for the moors above Schofield Hall. However, better fun was in store, for, after a short check at Hollingwort- h Fold, they hunted her slowly towards the Lodge Inn; there crossing the road and getting on better terms with their game, they went away to Rhode Field Wood, and after having rattled her through the latter, " dis- coursing most sweet music'' the while, they forced her again into the open, and hunted her beautifully by the castle at Tunshill to Doldrum. Here we parted company for a season with some of our field, for it needs a go* d-. winded one to ascend Tunshill Hey along with our staunch little pack when the scent is good. From Doldrum, without a moment's breathing time, they went by Tanning Holes to Ogden, and crossing the Saddleworth- road, we had another hill to face. However, we had a short check on Haugh Hey, but Puss being viewed stealing away in the direction " of Jubilee, the hounds were laid on, and went away merrily by Mr Millies at Park, across the new railway and through Dunn Wood to Whitfield. Here the hounds threw up their heads, and we thought Puss must have taken refuge in the farm buildings, but a scientific cast by the master soon put things to rights again, and the scent improving every minute, this game hare was run from scent to view, and killed in Whitfield Bottoms, behind Heys. Time, lh 25min ; distance not less than eleven miles. The hounds were hunted throughout, as usual, by the worthy master, Mr J. S. Entwistle, of Foxholes, than whom no better sportsman ever crossed a saddle. If you will kindly insert this, it will doubtless interest many Rochdale lads at a distance and oblige— Yours, & c, BROWN TOPS. DOG DOCTORING. MR EDITOR : Although no country exists where all animals are more valued and more carefully looked after than in our own, yet it really astonishes me how seriously prejudice stands in the way of the advance of their medical treatment. I have no doubt that both my wife and myself owe our continuing in existence to homoeopathy. We both suffered severely, and I was brought to death's door by allopathic blunders last winter. Speedily we reached convalescence under the comforting and simple remedies of homoeopathy, prescribed by DrE. H., and I, although advanced in years, feel almost to have a new lease of life. We have a small Cuba dog, which we lately placed in the hands of the best neigh- bouring vet. The poor thing got worse and worse, with hot nose, inflamed gums, and loose teeth. We had faint hopes of his living. On Friday I addressed myself to Mr Moore, 11, Upper Berkeley- street, Portman- square. I sent the dog next day. He found him suffering solely from mercury, with which he was salivated, and by which his stomach and bowels had suffered severely, given to him by the allopathic vet., who administered himself. By the evening the little creature was much relieved. Now, the third day, he is recovering his sight, which I omitted to say was almost gone, and I confidently expect his entire restoration. Her Gra- cious Majesty's stables and kennels are regulated under homoeo- pathy with most evident proofs of the safety and advantages it affords. I have now no earthly interest in either system. For- merly a member of various hunts and sporting societies, I have no longer the purse nor the full vigour for their allurements, and I have put all the above to paper merely in the hope that it may prove of beneficial influence.— Yours, & c, C. Jan 5,1863. WIRE FENCING.— We are glad to hear that Mr D., a sporting farmer in Northamptonshire, has obtained the consent of many other tenants, although themselves not hunting men, to take down their wire fencing until the close of the season; and we only trust that the members of the Pytchley Hunt will not allow their ally to be out of pocket by the exercise of bis good offices. POSH PRICE AND J. PARKINSON.— These Birmingham men we understand have signed articles to fight at catch weight, for £ 10 a side, on Jan 26. T. Cooper, of the Market Hall Tavern, Bell- street, Bull- ring, final stakeholder, at whose house they make good the final deposit on Monday, Jan 12, from eight to ten o'clock. BURGESS AND BROWN.— Again have these men sent us £ 10 each, a task which each must be prepared to repeat on Thursday, Jan 15. Burgess requests those gentlemen who promised to stand money to send it to him at once to St John's Fish Market, Liverpool, as he is about to go into strict training. CARNEY AND CURLEY.— We have received articles and £ 3 10s for a match between Teddy Curley and Teddy Carney of Dews- bury, who are to fight, for £ 10 a side, at 8st 91b, on Feb 24. We ought to have received £ 5, so that there is £ 110s short, which should have been sent by Carney. YOUNG WELSH OF BIRMINGHAM AND D. O'ROOK.— These lads are matched to fight at 8st 4lb, for £ 10 a side. They meet on Tuesday, Jan 13, to make a further deposit and draw up articles, at Mr Abram's, Barley Mow, Cromer- street, Gray's Inn- road.

REARDONJ AND SHIPP.— These old opponents again posted a fiver each at Mr Ward's, on Wednesday, Jan 7. The next deposit is to be put down at Mr Lewis's, Greenwich Pensioner, Bow- lane, Poplar, on Wednesday, Jan 14. BOYLE AND TURNER.— We have to acknowledge £ 1 aside be- tween these men, who are to stake £ 1 each on Tuesday, Jan 13, at Mr Brown's, Leeds Arms, High- street.

Young Mullins of Rochdale, but now of Greetland, wishes to try his hand with any of the following men :— Moffit of High Town, at 7st 41b, for £ 10 a side; or Jack Kenny of Rochdale; or S. Kellow of Huddersfield on the same terms. Money ready at the Rose and Crown Inn, Greetland; or he will fight Young Chear of Manchester at the same weight, if he will stake £ 15 to £ 10, or will fight him catch weight, for £ 10 or £ 15 a side. First come first served. Young M'Nulty informs H. Cooksey that at present he cannot accept his challenge, having other fish to fry, but as soon as he is disengaged from his present occupation, he will give him the first chanoe for £ 15 or £ 20 a side; or if Cooksey is in want of a match, he will back John Fox to fight him at catch weight, for £ 10 or £ 15 a side. Money ready at Crutchley's, Spotted Dog, Alcester- street, Birmingham, any Slight next week. Young Broome is quite willing to give, Tweddle £ o to come to town and make a match, but if Ike Baker will consent to wait four months he will give him the first chance. This Baker de- clines to do, as it would interfere with business, so we presume the other match will go on. T. Fisher of Birmingham will fight any man ( bar Nobby Hall) in or within fifty miles of Birmingham, at 9st 31b, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side. If a deposit is sent to Bell's Life and articles to Fisher, at Mr Marson's, Castle Tavern, Upper Hospital- street, a match can be made. J.

Young Broome takes a benefit at Jemmy Shaw's spacious saloon., the Old Queen's Head, Queen's Head- court, Windmill- street, Haymarket, on Wedesday, Jan 14. Young Broome's late struggle with Baker, as may be remembered, was a severe one, in which the gallant beneficiare, amidst almost insurmountable difficulties, achieved a meritorious victory over his opponent. Broome now claims the support of the public, and the visitors to his benefit will be rewarded by witnessing an unusual display of the fistic science by the tip- top men of the P. R.

MURDER AT NEWCASTLE.— A man named George Vass, a la bourer, has been committed for trial at Newcastle for the murder of a woman, 50 years of age, named Ann Docherty. It seems the deceased was last seen by her husband on New Year's Eve, when he had to fetch her from a beer- shop on the Back Walls, where she had got drunk. He desired her to follow him home, but he missed her suddenly. She was afterwards seen in company with the prisoner, but no more was heard of her until some hours later, when her dead body was pointed out to some carters by the prisoner, under the Back Walls. The prisoner was covered with blood at the time, and accounted for it by saying he had been fighting, and the body of the deceased was found to be most fear- fully injured, the skull fractured, the liver ruptured, and there were other injuries quite sufficient to cause death. The deceased had also been criminally assaulted in a most brutal manner. There was quite sufficient circumstantial evidence to justify the conrt in committing the prisoner for trial. HORRIBLE MURDER IN EDINBURGH.— In consequence of a difference between an artistic hair jeweller, Mr A. Milne, 31, South Frederick- street, Edinburgh, and a workman in his employ named Patterson, a very serious assault was committed upon the latter by Milne, which has ended in Patterson's death. The grounds of the quarrel are not known. It would seem that Pat- terson had been suddenly rushed upon by Milne, and stabbed iit; the left breast with a knife, and being unable to defend himself , — from a fresh attack, he rushed out of the shop and took refuge oldest established academy on record. Far greater improve- next door. In the course of a few minutes he breathed his last, ments are in contemplation. Private lessons given in the | The perpetrator of this fearful act has for some time past been in noble art by the young Champion himself at any hour, day or an excited state from drink. He was at once apprehended. SUPPLEMENT TO BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JANUARY 11, 1863. AQUATIC REGISTER. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. MORNING. EVENING.

A very full attendance of members of the R. T. Y. C. took place at the club house, Albemarle- street, on Wednesday evening, Jan 7, on the occasion of the quarterly general meeting, some 120 h av- ing been present at one period of the evening, and upwards of 40 geritlemen having previously assembled at the house dinner. In the unavoidable absence of the flag officers, the chair was occu- pied by the treasurer. The secretary having read the previous minutes, also the report of the committee, they were unanimously confirmed. The treasurer then announced the financial report for the past year ending Dec 31, 1862, audited by Messrs Hooper, Harvey, and Rudge. The report exhibited the highly satis- factory balance at the club banker's ( after the payment of all expenses) of £ 1,006 lis, exclusive of funded investments to the amount of £ 4,000. The report was received with unanimous expressions of approval, and ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the members; and on the motion of Col J. Wilkinson, seconded by Mr R. Cooke, a vote of thanks to the treasurer was unanimously agreed to. Eighteen gentlemen were at the conclusion of the ballot elected members, including Messrs J. C. Morison, Irene, schooner, outward bound for the Mediter- ranean ; E . Johnson, Avalanche, schooner; F. G. Hobson, Violet, schooner ; and Eev J. Griffith, owner of the Mystery, cutter. A. handsome photograph was presented by Count E. Batthyany, representing the Flying Cloud ( the winner of the R. T. Y. C. Schooner Match, 1862), with the Shark and Galatea, " rounding the Mouse," the Leonora close up. A vote of thanks to Count E. Batthyany was unanimously, agreed to. The consideration of Mr F. Ord Marshall's notice of motion was postponed, and the meet- ing was declared adjourned to Wednesday, Feb 4, when it is ex- pected the period for the annual ball, under the auspices of the club, will be fixed, and a list of stewards selected. The schooner yacht Daphne, Mr E. Hall Say, sailed from Cowes, Dec 31, bound for Gibraltar, Malta, and Alexandria. The follow- ing schooners belonging to members of the club are cruising in the Mediterranean, viz:— The Albertine, 155 tons, Lord Londes- borough; Derwent, 137, Col Clifton'; Fairy Queen, 70, L. H.

At the general meeting, held on Monday last, at the rooms of the club, in the Tower, Liverpool, the principal object which occu- pied the attention of the members, were the days to hold the regatta sailing matches of the club- After much discussion, at- tendant upon the nature of the tides of the day, it was finally re- solved to hold the sailing matches on Friday and Saturday, June 26 and 27. To carry out this arrangement, it will be necessary for the yachts to start earlier than has been usual, viz, at 10- 30 a. m., at the latest, as the tides will be an hour earlier than usual in the matches of this club. Liberal and valuable prizes will be offered, and, if possible, will exceed those of the previous two years, and it is expected that they will include a ladies' cup of increased value. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The next general meeting of the Ranelagh Yacht Club will be held at the Pier Hotel, Chelsea, on Wednesday evening, Jan 14, at eight o'clock. The annual report on the state of the club funds will be presented to the meeting. Members intending to dine at the club dinner, or to introduce visitors, must give notice to that effect to Mr Golding, at the club house, not later than Tues- day. The following gentlemen will be balloted for:— Mr A. Chaplin, Glasgow and Lambeth, screw yacht Rifle, 22 tons ; Mr G-. W. Charlwood, Feltham Hill, Surrey, yacht Jessica, 10 tons ; and Mr Green, 5, South- street, Chelsea. CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. MB EDITOR : I see in your paper of last week an announce- ment of which I am heartily glad, that Everson is matched against Chambers. You, however, add, that the " Championship is in no way concerned," because Chambers receives £ 20 for ex- penses. In that case, since Everson has challenged, for the Cham- pionship, Chambers can no longer be Champion. Who is ? The watermanship of the Thames should not be undefended. Since the post is now vaeant, and the present match is only a private one, let our Thames watermen set to work and contest the Cham- pionship of the Thames between themselves.— Yours, & c, ALPHA. THAMES SUBSCRIPTION- CLUB. At the annual meeting of the club, held at the Albion Hotel, Covent- garden, on Monday, Jan 5, Mr H. C. Smith was voted to the chair. After the removal of the dinner cloth the minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed, the secretary stating that a verbatim report of that meeting, embodying many important resolutions, had been sent to every member. The election of officers for 1863 then followed. It was re- solved, " That, having regard to the few members then present, the election of officers for the current year shall this night be confined to the following, with power to add to their numbers, viz, Vice- Presidents: J. Locke, Q. C., M. P.; A. P. Lonsdale, and R. N. Phillipps, LL. D. Treasurer: R. Cobb. Hon Sec : H. C. Smith. Committee : Rev F. M. Arnold, R. A. Bayford, _ E. Belfour, W. Bovill, C. Clifford, J. Draper, E. H. Fairrie, H. E. M. Jones, W. A. Joyce, E. Coventry, T. Page, C. B.; J. Sercombe, W. F. Watson, and R. Young ( mayor of Wisbeach)." Fourteen resignations were announoed for the entire year 1862 ; and several pledges of support from members having been read, it was resolved to adjourn until Monday, Feb 2. LONDON AMATEUR ROWING CLUB. The members of this club held their usual monthly meeting on Thursday evening, Jan 8, at the Union Hotel, Air- street, Regent- street ; the Captain, Mr A. W. Hill, in the chair, faced by Mr J. H. Lee, the deputy. The minutes of previous meetings having been read and confirmed, by which it appeared that the annual dinner, held on Dec 18, was a complete success, the newly elected Hon 8ec, Mr T. W. Charles, proposed, " That the nominal office of assistant- secretary be abolished, and that henceforth the assist- ant- secretary be an officer of the club;" which motion, having been seconded by Mr Lee, was unanimously carried, and Mr H. Chapman, who kindly performed the duties last year, was at once elected to the office. The following gentlemen were then elected as committeemen for the ensuing year ( one vacancy being left) :— Messrs R. Clay, H. Jump, and H. Need- ham ; and " the following gentlemen were unanimously elected members of the club, viz:— Messrs W. H. Stockman, 1, Staf- ford- place South, Pimlico; W. Burton, 72, King- street, Hol- born ; W. Lovejoy, 46, Lime- street, E. C.; B. Berkeley, 16, Dan- vers- street, Chelsea. The meeting was then adjourned till Thurs- day, Feb 3. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. During the past quarter the lifeboats of the National Lifeboat Institution have rescued 136 shipwrecked persons from the follow- ing wrecked vessels:— Ship Annie, E. Hooper, of Baltimore, U. S., 18; barge Henry Everest, of Eochester, 4; schooner Ceres, of Arbroath, saved vessel and crew of 5; sloop Loftus, of Pad- stow, 4; smack John, of Teignmouth, 2; schooner Ellen, of Liverpool, saved vessel and crew of 3; smack Mary Elizabeth, of PadstoWj. 3; schooner Osprey, of Fraserburgh, 6; schooner James Davell, of Newcastle, saved vessel and crew of 2; schooner Cham- pion, of Liverpool, 10; galliot Aremand, of Jaffa, assisted to save vessel and crew of 6 men; ship James Browne, of Phila- delphia, assisted to save vessel and crew of 18 men; smack Countess of Lisburne, ef Aberystwith, 3; bark Royal Rose, of Whitby, 12 ; bark Brazil, of Liverpool, 13; schooner Little Aggie, of Berwick, 4; schooner Sisters, of Wick, 3; and bark Louisa, of Bristol, 20— total 136. In addition to these 50 persons were saved by shoreboats and other means during the same period, making a total of 186 persons rescued from shipwreck during the past three months. For these several services the institution has granted seven silver medals and £ 192 13s as rewards. During the whole year the lifeboats of the society have saved 358 shipwrecked persons, in addition to 234 persons saved by shoreboats and other means. It is a gratifying fact that 1,471 lives were saved by the lifeboats of the society and by those of shoreboats during the past three years, thus showing clearly the great importance to the cause of humanity of this truly national and philanthropic institution. BRAUNTON LIGHTHOUSE, NORTH DEVON, NEW YEAR'S DAY — I have to repeat ( writes Mr Lamping, the lighthouse keeper) that some noble services were performed last evening, during a gale of wind, by the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution on this station to the crew and passengers, consisting of 20 per- sons, of the ship Louisa, of Bristol. The vessel was being towed over the bar by two steam- tugs. In the heavy sea that was run- ning the towing warps parted, and the ship drifted headlong amongst the breakers. The lifeboat of the institution was launched as soon as possible, and rescued 20 persons, including tbe master's wife. It is expected that the ship will become a total wreck. The poor people were brought to the commodious life- boat house just erected by the institution on these deserted shores. This'valuable lifeboat has on a previous occasion rendered im- portant service in a gale of wind to a shipwrecked crew. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— The list of French yachts has just been increased by the schooner Fairy Queen, of 60 tons, recently purchased in England by M Dupont de la Theullerie, one of the most distinguished shipowners of Marseilles, and proprietor of the Iris, a small craft, which has figured with honour in the re- gattas of the south. The Fairy Queen will hail from the port of Marseilles, which also counts another schooner yacht, the Fer- nande, likewise of English origin. The coast of Provence will, in all probability, be the head- quarters of French yachting. By the side of Marseilles, which possesses the two yachts just mentioned, Cannes has also a pleasure yacht, of 40 tons, the Amelia, of French construction. It is suggested that Marseilles should establish an international regatta, open to all competitors. This step, it is argued, would give a great stimulus to yachting in French waters. The Sociiite des Eegates Parisiennes was to hold a general meet- ing on the evening of Friday, Jan 9, to consider the desirability of dividing its operations into two distinct departments, one of the sail and the other of the oar. YACHTING ON THE EASTERN COAST.— Mr W. W. Hawkins, ef Alresford Hall, Essex, who is chairman of the Tendring Hundred Railway Company, and is an ardent advocate for an exten sion of that undertaking to Wyvenhoe, stated, at a meeting at that town, that he believed the project, if carried out, would be the means of inducing many yachting men to lay up their yachts in the Colne instead of taking them a greater distance from London. Already, for instance, Mr Blanshard, although living at Lymington, in Hampshire, laid up his yacht at Wyven- hoe, not only from being satisfied with Messrs Harvey as the builders of his yacht, but from the great advantages which he considered that he derived from shipping his crew upon the banks of the Colne. SOUTHAMPTON AMATEUR EEGATTA CLUB.— At a monthly meeting of the members of this club, held at their club room, on Monday, Jan 5, it was proposed and unanimously carried that, in addition to the annual cup, rowed for in May, a challenge cup, value not less than £ 20, should be given, the winner to hold it against all oomers ( belonging to the club) for twelve months; to row, if challenged, every three months. Afterwards to become his own private property. J. W. Tagg of Moulsey will row T. Hoare of Hammersmith from Putney to Mortlake, for £ 50 or £ 100 a side, in April or May next, whichever is most convenient. An answer through Bell s Life will be attended to. Tagg would prefer to row the day after Chambers and Everson. W. Skinner wishes to back a landsman, who has never rowed a match, to row C. Childs of Limehouse from Putney to Mortlake, for his own sum, and will meet him at the New England Light- house, Eatcliff, on Tuesday evening, Jan 13, to make the match. C. Childs of Limehouse will row T. Dixon of Rotherhithe, ac- sei- wording to his challenge, for £ 25 or £ 30 a side. A match can be made at Mr Jamson's, Camden's Head, Church- lane, Limehouse, on Monday, Jan 12. EDWARD MAY'S BENEFIT.— This deserving and well- known sculler takes a benefit on Monday evening, Jan 12,"| in the large assembly rooms at the George and Blue Boar, Holborn, when a grand vocal and instrumental concert will take place, and, judg- ing from the pregramme and the artistes who appear on the occa- sion ( among whom are Mrs Gordon, Mrs Fitzherbert, Miss Kate Painter, Marcus Wilkinson, A. B. Hollingsworth, and many others, with Richard Dunn, thejrenowned Tom Moody ( of Nell Gwynn fame), there will be an excellent evening's enjoyment.— [ ADVT.] FRANK GODFREY'S BENEFIT.— This veteran waterman takes a benefit on Monday evening, Jan 12, at the Richmond Theatre, when the North London Dramatic Club and several old profes- sionals have volunteered their services.

PEDESTRIAN BENEFIT AT HACKNEY WICK FOR THE DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. It is our gratifying duty to call attention to this most praise- worthy movement, and earnestly urge upon all sportsmen to give their best aid to carry it out. Mr W. Price, the manager of Hackney Wick, will make the sport as attractive as possible, and when it is stated that he will not only appropriate the whole of the proceeds to assist our starving brethren, but also give the prizes to be contended for, we hope he may be supported in a way worthy of amateurs and professionals, as well as by the public at large. Mr Price has judiciously fixed two days for this " grand fete of mercy,'' Saturday and Monday, Jan 24 and 26. This will afford the members of the establishments which close on Satur- day an opportunity either to join in the sport, or assist by their presence. The programme will allow of the volunteers to contend in those athletic games so necessary for their own good efficiency, and we would call their attention to the races specially set down for them. There will be a sufficiency of the professional element to make the affair interesting to the usual supporters of pedes- trianism ; while, to the general public, the " end in view will sanctify the means" used to assist the good contemplated. The following is the programme:— SATURDAY, JAN 24.— A 440 Yards Handicap Race for a Silver Cup, for gentlemen amateurs; entrance 5s. Four Mile Walking Handicap, for a Silver Cup, for gentlemen amateurs; entrance 5s. Volunteer 100 Yards Handicap and a Half- mile Handicap, for gold rings, for volunteers only, but who may run in any costume; entrance 2s 6d each. The Volunteer Walking Match of one mile, for volunteers in full marching order, for a gold ring; entrance 2s 6d each. The Professional One Mile Handicap Race, for a Silver Cup, for professionals only; entrance 5s. MONDAY, JAN 26.— A 200 Yards Handicap and a One Mile Handicap, for silver watches, for men who never won £ 5; entrance Is. The Great Five Mile Handicap and the Great Four Mile Walking Handicap, for professionals only, for silver watches, will include the champions of both running and walking. The Volun- teer 100 Yards Race, Half- mile Race, and a One Mile Walking Handicap, for volunteers only, for gold breastpins; entrance Is each. All entries must close on Tuesday next, Jan 13. As all the competitors will contend in proper costume, ladies can, by their presence, assist in this most Christian work. When we reiterate that, in addition to the excellent programme issued by Mr Price, he not only gives his good services, but also the prizes to be contended for, it would be really sorrowful if he is not supported, and does not raise a fund worthy of the occasion. The admission on Saturday will be Is; on the Monday, 6d. WEST LONDON CRICKET GROUND, OLD BROMPTON. RULES FOR PEDESTRIANS.— 1.

Eoberts's ground, on Monday, Jan 5, to run 600 yards, for £ 10 a side, the meeting being well attended by the partisans of the men. This, it will be recollected, is the second meeting between the competi- tors, they having run a dead heat on Monday, the 15th of Decem- ber last, on the above ground, when, both being anxious to again put their speed to the test, arrangements were made for them to run again. Mr Roberts, the proprietor, was selected to act as re feree, and, all the preparatory matters being adjusted, the pedes- trians came to the mark, having to go by report of pistol. On the start being effected they ran well together until 70 yards had been covered, when Cox went away with the lead, and had so completely beaten his opponent off thatTodman, finding he had no chance, pulled up and resigned the stuggle, so that Cox went in an undisputed winner. The easy manner in which Todman was defeated produced no little astonishment among his friends, as, judging from the style in which he had run on the former occa- sion, they fully expected to have seen the match again closely JEM DILLON'S BENEFIT.— This heroic member of the P. R. took his benefit here, as notified, on Tuesday, Jan 6, and was, we are glad to state, considering the unfavourable state of the wea- ther, well patronised by those patrons of the art who know how to apprecciate the merits of one of the gamest and most un- daunted boxers that ever entered the roped arena. The sports opened with A MILE RACE.— This was for a money prize, and brought three competitors into the field, viz, Harry Andrews of Holborn, W. Jones of Islington, and Jewell. The men were started under the superintendence of Mr. Roberts, and went away in good style, but, after running well for two laps ( half a mile), Jones, who was in nothing like condition, was compelled to retire from the struggle, having been run completely out. This example was soon fol- lowed by Jewell, so that Andrews was left " all alone in his glory," and finished at leisure. In the roped arena there was a deal of excellent sparring, the bouts, from the spirited manner in which they were conducted, giving the utmost satisfaction. The great feature, however, was the wind- up between Dillon and Reardon, who in a fine display demonstrated how their late tremendous battle was won and lost; and thus the proceedings terminated On Monday, Jan 12, a grand day's sport will take place. First race between Clark of the Guards and Perry of Kensington, 440 yards, for £ 10. After which the exciting race of 140 yards, for £ 20, between Anstey and Dickens. On Tuesday, Jan 13, T. Lewis and F. Allibone run 600 yards, for £ 20, and G. Martin and C. Stanley 120 yards, for £ 10. COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, GARRATT- LANE, WANDS WORTH. HATLEY AND MILES'S WALKING MATCH.— This match to walk two miles, for £ 25 a side, between W. Hatley of London and J. Miles of Brixton, came off here on Monday, Jan 5. The weather was particularly unfavourable for such amusements, for what with a bleak wind, and the rain pouring down in torrents, it made things very disagreeable; yet long before the appointed hour for starting upwards of a thousand persons had arrived on the ground. Both men had been in active training for the event, and their respective trainers pronounced them to be in first- rate condition; and at about half- past three o'clock they came to the scratch in walking gear, and they certainly both looked bang up to the mark, and very confident. The betting, which had been an hour previously 6 to 4 on Hatley, now closed at 2 to 1 on him, at which prices a good deal of money was speculated. At the signal given for starting they dashed away from the scratch at a splitting pace. Miles im- mediately took the lead, and put the steam on to its highest pressure, evidently with the intention of breaking his oppo- nent down, but Hatley stuck close to him, and was only a yard in the rear in the first quarter of a mile, which was accomplished in lmin 34sec, and they still continued onwards at the same pace, Miles still leading; but when about 700 yards had been paced over, Hatley made a desperate effort to obtain the lead, and by great exertion, speed, and lasting power, he obtained it, after a des- perate struggle, before they had reached the half mile, which was completed by Hatley in 3min 25sec, he then being in advance 10 yards; from this time the match may be virtually said to be over, for, bar an accident, it looked any odds on Hatley, who con- conclusion of the match Hatley won easily by full 70 yards; time, 15min 38sec. Thus the winner has proved himself one, if not the very best of walkers of the day; for, what with the bad weather, and very heavy state of the ground they contended upon, the feat is a good one. Hatley is a smart- made youth, 20 years of age, about 5ft 4in in height, and weighs about 9st. Miles, although defeated, is not disgraced, for he struggled manfully. There can be no doubt Miles requires rest after so many arduous undertakings. Hatley can have the stakes on Thursday, Jan 15, at ouryoffice. COLLINS AND TUCKER.— The match to run half a mile, for £ 20 a side, between Collins of Battersea and D. Tucker of Clapham was decided at the above grounds, previously to Hatley and Miles contending. This event appeared to excite muoh interest and speculation, 7 to 4 being freely laid upon Tucker, which was readily taken ; both men had been in active training, and looked in blooming form. They came to the scratch in racing costume at three o'clock, and after a dozen false starts they got well off to- gether ; Tucker soon showed in front, but after running about three hundred yards Collins deprived him of the lead, which he maintained the remaining distance, and won by a dozen yards. Time, 2min 25sec. John Smith trained both winners. The win- ner can have the stakes next Thursday at 12. CITY GROUNDS, MANCHESTER. SATURDAY, JAN 3.— ALBISON AND SANDERSON.— A visit to these grounds, in weather like this, is an event not soon to be for- gotten, the approaches thereto, especially by way of the Ashton New- road, being in a deplorably wretched condition. Some at- tempt has been made to form cindered paths, but these are in a rough, unfinished state; and the principal one, leading from Openshaw, is so meagre ia width that foot- passengers are forced into the mire to make way for passage for even one of the very few vehicles that venture to proceed to the entrance- gate of the grounds. Within a few yards of the place of admission this after- noon a crowd was collected, and scores of persons stood for some time, almost ankle- deep in mud, before they were enabled to pay the fee demanded to enter the enclosure; and, on being admitted, it was only to find that several parts of the ground in the interior unfortunately very much resembled the exterier, but the course itself was in tolerably decent condition. This racing arena has been recently laid out, for aught we know it may be considered completed, but if it is not, the pace at which matters are being proceeded with to bring it to that state is anything but fast. Our desire is . to promote the manly pastime of pedestrianism ; any good and laudable effort tending in that direction generally meets with our hearty support, and therefore we have felt it to be a duty to state the above facts, as, unless the " management'' here con- sider, in some degree, the comfort and convenience of the public, the patronage of the latter will, doubtless, be even still more liberally extended to the other two grounds in the vicinity, which are not only much superior in condition, but far more easy of access by ' bus, as well as rail. The attendance to- day, to witness the contest between the Champion at one mile, S. Albison of Bowlee, near Middleton, and J. Sanderson ( alias Treacle) of Whitworth, near Rochdale, was very numerous, about 2,500 persons, we should imagine, being present. The small stand was crammed; hundreds of people were perched upon the high boards which fence the ground— even the summit of a haystack was considered an ex- ceedingly desirable spot— and a large nnmber of visitors who did not entertain such lofty notions were only enabled to obtain an occasional glimpse of the event, several of whom declared that this was the first time they liad been present, and it would be the last. The race fixed to come off was for £ 50 a side, the stipulated distance being one mile, Sanderson having 15 yards start inside. Mr Holden filled the offices of stakeholder and referee, and the betting, which commenced at 5 to 4, closed at 3 to 1 on Sander- son. About half- past three o'clock the men entered the course, Albison being accompanied by Mr J. Bates, of the Woodman Inn, Newton Heath, and the well- known pedestrian trainer, Mr J. Etchells, of the Weavers' Arms, Failsworth, near Man- chester. Sanderson was attended by Mr G. Parkinson, of the Three Crowns, Rochdale ; A. Grindrod, the renowned sprint runner of Oldham; and by his veteran mentor, W. Fish, of Royton, near that town. On stripping, the condition of Sanderson was evidently of the most superior description, and spoke highly for the exertions of his trainer ; whilst Albison, who did not take off his upper flannel, scarcely seemed up to the mark, his appear- ance not having been, to our eye at least, for two or three weeks past very satisfactory, he seeming to bear, in short, indications of illness, and this may possibly account for the exceedingly hol- low way in which he was defeated to- day. The course, we were told, was 808 yards round, consequently it required two laps and 144 yards to be tsaversed to complete the distance of a mile. The pedestrians should, of course, have started by pistol, but that weapon not being forthcoming, though loudly called for, they got off by mutual consent. This caused the start to be a very indifferent one, each man hesitating at first, and eventually Albison got a little the best of it when the pedestrians quitted their respective marks. The race may be described in a very few words. Sander- son made the running at a good pace, and for some distance the gap which separated them at start was not visibly altered. When the first lap had been finished, however, Sanderson had increased his advantage by a few yards, Albison then appearing to have had almost enough. After having fairly rounded the next turn San- derson, who was full of running, shot considerably ahead, and his opponent was then out of the race. Albison's chance being thus thoroughly extinguished he gave up, and came to a stand about half a lap from the goal, and Sanderson, who had the race in hand from end to end, went in at his leisure, the colours of the Champion mile pedestrian never having been lowered more easily. PEDESTRIANISM.— J. Nuttall of Manchester and R. Medley of Burnley are matched to run 440 yards, for £ 25 a side, the latter receiving £ 3 to run at these grounds, on Feb 28, Mr Holden to be stakeholder and referee. £ 1 each has been staked, and £ 4 a side more is to be deposited on the 24th inst. RABBIT COURSING - Mr Holden has now received £ 7 10s each on account of the match at rabbits between J. Brian's Fan and l1. Hallam's Bess ( both of Longton, Staffordshire), the best of 16 courses, 60 j- ards law, for £ 10 a side. The contest is fixed for the 12st inst, here, the stakeholder to appoint a referee. The first rabbit is to be turned out between one and two o'clock. BUSTLE AND FLY.— On account of the match at rabbits, 11 out of 21, 60 yards law, for £ 20 a side, between T. Topping's Bustle and J. Underwood's Fly ( both of Wigan), Mr Holden holds £ 5 each, and a similar sum is to be staked on the 12th inst. The event is to be decided here on J an 26, Fly not to exceed 121b weight, nor Bustle lOflb, and the latter to have two given. WRESTLING.— A wrestling match, which commenced on the preceding day, was brought to a conclusion on Saturday forenoon, Jan 3. The men engaged were J. Sladen of Bury and F. Robin- son of Ashton, the contest being two out of three back falls, in the Lancashire style, Sladen staking £ 25 to £ 20. On Friday, after the athletes had competed for upwards of two hours, during which only one throw was decided, and that being gained by Robinson, it was agreed to defer further hostilities until the next day, the betting then being 3 to 1 on him. The second round, similar to the first, was exceedingly well contested, and, after more than an hour had elapsed, it also resulted in favour of Robinson, who thus proved a somewhat difficult winner of an excellent match. CANINE.— On account of the race of 200 yards between W. Birks's Mischief and S. Edwards's Beauty ( both of Longton, Staf- fordshire), Birks staking £ 10 to £ 5, Mr Holden has received respectively £ 5 and £ 2 10s. The race is to come off here on the 19th inst, on which day the final deposit is to be paid. Mr Holden has also been appointed referee. PEDESTRIANISM AT BIRMINGHAM AND DISTRICTS. At Aston Cross Grounds, on Monday, Jan 5, there was a pretty good muster present to witness the one mile match, for £ 5 a side, between Phil Yardley and J. Myatt. Considering the short time that the men had for training, Yardley was in first- rate trim. Myatt, although said to be well, to our thinking did not look up to the mark, but this may be in some measure accounted for, as he has not run a match since the beginning of last summer, when he was beaten by T. Roberts, in a mile match, at St Helena Grounds. Yardley, it will be recollected, beat Reynolds the pre- vious week in a 120 yards spin, at the above grounds. Mr Coates, the stakeholder, did the needful as referee. At half- past three the men appeared on the ground, and the betting, commenced at 3 to 2 on Yardley, which was accepted by Myatt's friends. At the signal the men got away together; at the first lap round ( eight laps round for the mile), Yardley was leading by two yards, and the like distance at the quarter of a mile. Myatt then made a spurt, and got the lead for a short distance, when Yardley again took the lead ( betting, 2 and 3 to 1 on him, but no takers), and at half distance was leading by 20 yards, and Myatt began to give evi- dent signs that he was not up to the mark, but he kept on, and occasionally spurted forward, but Yardley, who was running steadily, kept the lead, and at three- quarters of a mile was still full 20 yards ahead, and finally finished by running in an easy winner by 12 yards. Freeman and Horton were next to have run 120 yards, for £ 5 a side, but, at the final staking of the money, they disagreeing, drew the stakes down. A NEW YEAR'S GIFT.— B. Phillips will give £ 2 TOs for the rst prize, 10s second, and 5s third prize, to be run for in a 120 yards handicap, at Vauxhall Grounds, Wolverhampton, on Monday, Feb 2, and the final heat to be run on Monday, Feb 9.

STONEFIELD RUNNING GROUNDS, GLASGOW.— TAIT AND CAR- RUTHERS.— These men were matched some time since to run a hurdle race of 200 yards, over five hurdles, three feet six inches high, and a fiat race of 200 yards, for the Championship of Scot- land and £ 30 a side. From the fact of both men having contended together with varied success in the different games throughout Scotland during the last three years, a good deal of interest was taken in the match; it will also be recollected that Carruthers won a handicap at Sheffield about eighteen months ago. Agreeably to articles the men met on the above grounds, on Friday, the 2d inst, to run the hurdle race. There was a good number of specta- tors present, including a strong muster of the Edinburgh Fancy, where Carruthers hails from. Both men were in first- rate trini. The betting was 6 to 4 on Tait, at which odds a good sum was in- vested. A good deal of cash was also sported by Tait's backers at 2 to 1 that Carruthers did not win both events. After a long delay, caused by Carruthers and his party not com- ing on the grounds in time, the men toed the scratch, when, at the first report of the pistol, Tait bounded away, but not being followed by Carruthers ( who did not leave the mark), went over the course alone. A wrangle then followed, Tait claiming the race, saying that the articles stated that they were to start by first report of pistol, Carruthers alleging that they only said report of pistol. The referee appointed a meeting at the Globe, a well- known sporting house in the city, and a meeting accordingly took place, when the starter stated that the pistol went off accidentally, and the referee ordered the men to run the follow- ing day. On Baturday the men again met at the appointed time, and at the first report of the pistol both went away, Tait getting the best of the start. Both men went ever the first hurdle together, when Carruthers took the lead, and at the last hurdle was two yards in advance, but making a stumble, and Tait at the same time putting on a tremendous spurt, caught him in the last two or three strides, and won, after a splendid race, by a yard. About an hour after tbe above event was decided they again came to the mark to run the flat race. The betting opened at evens, but veered round to 6 to 4 on Carruthers, but little money was invested, the backers of Tait holding out for 2 to 1. When the signal was given, a capital start was effected. Carruthers at once took the lead, and won very easily by seven yards. We shall return each man his stakes. Those of Carruthers shall be sent to the address we have received, but. we have not yet heard from Tait. EPPS AND POST.— On Wednesday, Jan 7, these men met at Smeeth ( Kent) to run 150 yards, for £ 5 a side, in presence of between 300 and 400 spectators. On the signal being given, Epps managed to get a clear start of a couple of yards, which he con- tinued to increase throughout, and won easily by about three yards. THE GREAT ONE HOUR'S EACE BETWEEN DEERFOOT AND MILLS ON MONDAY NEXT.— At Hackney Wick ( Victoria Park station), on Monday, Jan 12, the great Champion Race is to be decided, and whatever may hitherto have been the excitement created by the Indian runner, the interest will culminate © n his next appearance with Young England, in their race for £ 100, the one who runs the farthest in one how to bear the palm, and be it either Indian or Englishman, the victor on Monday, Jan 12, will justly be entitled to be considered the " Champion of the Pedes- trian World." Two matches were entered into by these celebrated men, the first of which, a race of six miles, came off on Dec 26, in the presence of many thousands, and at that distance " Little Teddy" forced the man of Seneca to succumb. Amidst the cheers that greeted Mills on that victory, came the momentous question of " What about the hour's race with; Deerfoot?" The nature of the coming struggle, and what the Englishman must do to ensure the double victory is shown by the fact, that in October last, the Indian, in an hour's race, ran eleven miles seven hundred and twenty- two yards, a performance never equalled, fully establish- ing his great powers, and silencing cavillers as to his pretensions as a wonderful pedestrian, foreshadowing what Monday's contest will be, especially to all who do not usually witness such sports, except only on great occasions like the one in question. It would be treason to doubt the honesty of Mills, and with his well- known pluck, his beautiful style, and oft- tried speed, it will require all the powers of the stalwart son of the forest to shake off the game little Englishman. Deerfoot has set his heart on the race, and has been brought to the height of condition. It will require more than speed to beat him, great endurance, as about the Eedskin going the distance it is a very " moral." The backer of Mills won the toss for choice of ground, so the appliances of the famed " Wick" will be in requisition. No better ground for seeing the race, as 20,000 spectators can be accommodated. No one will be allowed on the course with the competitors, so that every one present will have a view of the men all round. The North Lon- don Railway will run extra trains ; the double journey 6d. A large body of police will keep order. Admission Is ; reserved places extra. Mr Baum, with the manager, Mr W. Price, ask all sportsmen to aid in bringing this great trial— the Indian against the Englishman— to a satisfactory issue, and respectfully request an early attendance to prevent disappointment, as the start will take place on Monday, Jan 12, punctually at three o'clock, a pis- tol being fired as they both dash away, and also at the termination of the hour, so that all may know the result. The editor of Belts Life has received the whole of the stakes. MILLS AND SANDERSON.— We stated in our last that a match had been agreed upon between E. Mills of London and J. Sander- son ( alias Treacle) of Whitworth, near Rochdale, to run one mile and a half, for £ 25 a side and the Champion Cup, at the Ash Grounds, Stockport; the prize being now in the possession of Sanderson. We also added that £ 5 each was staked in the hands of Mr Holden, but that the grounds had been closed by magisterial dictum. Since then the match has been declared off, and the respective stakes withdrawn. If the engagement has become void solely because of the closing of the grounds, we may state, upon the authority of Mr J. Boothroyd, formerly of the Ash Inn, Stockport, but now of Hyde Park, Sheffield ( the donor of the Cup), that a contest for that trophy would form an ex- ception, he having a distinct promise from the present tenant of the Ash Inn, to the effect that " mine host" will allow it to be run for on his grounds. . .

In the Bredford Stakes Cheerful beat Prestoe with very little to spare; the latter leading from the slips fell, but got in and made several points, the finest of the course being out of sight. Donna Franca beat Wave cleverly, Heira and Perfect one undecided, after which Hiera was drawn lame. Bit of Black beat Adieu after one undecided; both bad fencers.— Belbreughton Stakes: Eoneymoon led from the slips and fell; Haxo at the same time got unsighted ; both again settled to work, the former winning with little to spare. A pretty course between Nelly Bly and Bill, the latter finishing with a clever kill. Baronet led from the slips, but got unsighted in a brake. St Clare beat Plough- boy after two undeeideds. The hares where plentiful and strong, but owing to the rains lay very badly. The judge gave general satisfaction, and the slipping of Chapmas was admired by all.

II. • Mr Gardner's f d Guido, by Wakeful out of Get Out, beat Mr Cunning- ham's w bk d Barleycorn, by Pilot out © f Wicked Eye, and won. Blythe beat Barleycorn Fanny beat Gaslight Fanny ran a bye Fanny beat Brandy FIKST DAY.— Sylphide got the run up, and the early points I with Lucy, when the hare gained a fence, which Sylphide led through. The hare then crossed a drain which Lucy did not get well over, Bylphide was leading some lengths, when Lucy gained on her, and passed her, but the latter soon got possession of the hare again, and finished an easy winner. Bardolph led Bright- ness to the hare, and was afterwards decisively beaten. Rapture quite out- paced Golden Harp, and won, with plenty to spare. Yordas ( rather favoured by position) outpaced Jefferson Davis, got the run up, and killed. Scandal was much too speedy for Guido, as Gladiator was for Barrow. Joe o'Dalgig was always faster than Ada, but the clever style of the latter gained her the victory. Billy Bloomer had the run up with Luxury, and the best of the course throughout. Sea Cloud scored the early points with Owersby, which the latter rubbed off, and the judge gave it undecided, when Sea Cloud was drawn. Mayflower got a strong lead ( owing to Blue Cap- running in the slips). She made the best of her position, turned the hare, and killed. Sea Trip got away quickest from the slips with Dundee, got the run up, and killed. Balmoral led May Morning, and had the best of the first half of the course, but May Morning outlasted him, and finished a clever winner. Bivan ran a bye.— The Talbot Cup : After a no- go with Patent ; Malt and Ben M'Chree, the latter was drawn. Brown Brandy outpaced Luna as far as I saw it, as Liberty did Juliet. Boanerges had too much speed for Wastwater. Goodwords and Sealingwax ran undecided ; in the next slip Goodwords led, but was passed by Bealingwax, who scored the early points, when the hare reached a fence, which Sealingwax flew; the hare doubled back, and let in Goodwords, and he scored too many points to be rubbed off' before the course was finished. Glowworm and La Sourde raced together for some distance, when the former drew out, got the run up, and the best of the exchange of work, and won decisively. Great Gun was much too fast for Buckstone. Hopbine led Maurauder, and won a good course easily. Border Minstrel outpaced Symmetry. I saw little of the course with GoldenDream and Queen of Diamonds, what I saw was in favour of the farmer.— The Lytham Maiden Plate: Mausoleum got the run up with Linkboy, and won easily. Bedlamite led Wastwater to the hare, and was afterwards cleverly beaten. Weathercote had the run up with The General, when they got out of my sight for a time; when I saw them again, the former was leading, but The General went by him, and killed. Poor Tom and Salmon Fly ran twice undecided; after which Poor Tom led, and had the best of a good course. Gold Ring had the run up with Geelong; the latter in going to the hare ( after the first turn) fell, when Gold Ring got in again, and won easily. Scarlet Runner had always the speed of Boy Blue, in a course of arerage length. British Tar ran a bye, Bladenock drawn. Jamaica out- paced Baffler the Younger. Innocence took a commanding lead with Laundry Maid, and finished a decisive winner. Gentle Annie got away quickest, but was passed by Bluestone, and easily beaten. — The Members' Plate: Secret Treasure, after running twice un- decided with Sea Flower, led to the hare, and had rather the best of the pace as far as I saw it. Baffle was led to the hare by Os- born, and afterwards won with something to spare. Gilderoy, in a good course, had always the best of the pace with Lancelot. Jessie had too much foot for Blue Lupin. Adieu, favoured by po- sition, got the run up with Border Union, wrenched, and killed. Brandy had the run up with Golden Locket; the latter scored the second and third turns, and put in Brandy, and he had the best of the finish. Blythe easily defeated Joint Intervention, as Barley Corn did Buckstone. Fanny beat Bandycoote decisively. I did not see the course with Gaslight and Wasp, but was told the former won easily. SECOND DAS.— Clifton Cup ( first ties): Sylphide ran a bye. Rapture ran away altogether from Brightness. Yordas got the run up and the second turn with Scandal, when the latter set- to, and looked like winning; Yordas came again, got the last point or two, and killed. Ada, rather favoured by position, led Gladiator for some time, but before reaching the hare the latter got his head in front, and bare the hare towards Ada, and she got the two next points, and I thought for a time would prove the best; she then gave way to Gladiator, and he did enough to secure the judge's fiat. Billy Bloomer won as he liked with Owersby. Sea Trip had the leading points with Mayflower, when an ex- change of work took place, of which the latter had rather the best; in going through some rails, Bea Trip struck one of he? legs, and did not do anything afterwards. Briar had it nearly all her own way with May Morning.— Talbot Cup ( first ties): Ben M'Chree quite outpaced Brown Brandy. Liberty and Boanerges were unsighted in the run up; the former caught sight first-, and gained the run up. In the work which followed, the latter showed most pace, and but for missing his catch at the side of a drain, when he nearly fell, would, I think, have won. I did not see much of the course with Broad- sides and Good Words; what I did was in favour of the former. Actress got the run up with Glowworm, and was outworked. Hop- bine took a strong lead with Great Gun, and won decisively. Golden Dream showed the pace with Border Minstrel, and won very cleverly.— Lytham Maiden Plate ( first ties): Mausoleum had the best of the course with Wast Water as far as I saw it. Weathercote led Poor Tom, put him in, went by, and killed. Scarlet Runner got the run up and kill with Golden Ring. Jamaica led British Tar to the hare, and was afterwards decisively beaten. After an undecided between Innocence and Blue Stone, the latter showed the pace, and pressed the hare to Innocence; she turned, wrenched, and killed.— The Members' Plate ( first ties) : Secret Treasure got the run up with Baffle, and showed most pace in the work which followed. Gilderoy had the run up with Jessica, and won as he liked. Adieu and Brandy ran undecided, and the for- mer was withdrawn. Blythe led Barleycorn, and had much the best of the course, as far as I saw it. Faany showed pace with Gaslight, and had the best of the work.— The Ribble Stakes: Lucy led Jefferson Davis, and had the best of the course in my sight. Waiting Maid outpaced Luxury. Barron led Blue Cap to the hare, when I lost sight of them. Joe o'Dalgig was much faster than Border Union. The latter gained the judge's fiat by out- working him ; I did not see the latter part of the course. — The Moss Hill Stakes: Queen of Diamonds showed the pace and had much the best of La Sourde in a short course. Launcelot got the two first turns with Baffle the Younger, and was afterwards outworked. All I saw of the course with Linkboy and Sea Cloud was in favour of the boy.— Clifton Cup ( second ties) : Rapture outpaced Sapphire to the hare, and was afterwards out- worked. Yordas, after an undecided with Gladiator, got the run- up, and had the speed in the exchange of work. Briar showed the pace with Billy Bloomer, and had much the best of a fine course. Mayflower ran a bye.— Talbot Cup ( second ties) : Liberty quite outpaced Ben M'Chree. Broadsides got the run- up with Glowworm, and was afterwards outworked. Golden Dream led Hopbine many lengths, and defeated her easily ; the latter ran jaded, having fallen in with a fresh hare after her first course before she was taken up.— Lytham Maiden Plate ( second ties) : Mausoleum and Weatbercote divided with two hares, and the former was drawn. Scarlet Runner had much the speed of Bri- tish Tar. Innocence ran a bye.— Members' Plate ( second ties) : Secret Treasure got the run- up with Gilderoy, and the best of the course throughout; Gilderoy fell twice during the course. Brandy had much the best of what I saw in the course with Blythe. Fanny ran a bye. A COURSEE.

Mr Saxton's f b Sunset The above meeting, as usual, was held in the Home Park, Hampton Court, the members having permission, through the liberality of the Master of the Horse ( Lord Ailesbury), to course four days during the season; but in this their final meet- ing of the present year they were abruptly prevented from run- ning through the card, at one o'clock en the second day, which was one of the most delightful coursing days of the season. Several who had greyhounds entered in the Ailesbury, Paddock, Wolsey, and Hampton Stakes, prolonged their stay at Hampton Court to witness the running of the choice of their kennels, but were doomed to disappointment by the proceedings before men- tioned. The meet was, as usual, at the Stud House gates, the spectators not being so numerous as on former occasions. We were, however, honoured by the presence of Mr and Lads' Evelyn Bruce, Lord Tyrone ( the future Marquis of Waterford), Colonel Goodlake, Mr John Townley and daughter, & c. The sport was, as usual, characterised with that sameness to which I have before called attention. Mr Bland's ( Wooton Hail) kennel was in its usual form. Bubble and Squeak ( who, I thought, in both instances won the undecided courses) beat Bouthell, and was drawn, Miss Bland's pet, Bud Rose, being declared the winner. Stitch, who ran a fearfully severe course with Mr Storey's Sincere, was also drawn ; Colonel Goodlake's red bitch Glimpse at Glory, by David out of Java, thus winning the Headley Stakes. The gallant colonel also won the Veteran Cup with Galantuomo ( late Sailor Prince), by Euclid out of Miniver, and the best descendant of King Cob I ever saw. I must confess, however, that I fully expected to see him defeated by Hobbie Bird, but the hare continually favouring the Hounslow dog, caused the defeat of the old favourite from Romford. As I before mentioned, the Ailesbury, Paddock, Wolsey, and Hampton Stakes were not allowed to be run off, and the meeting, which might otherwise have passed off agreeably enough, was thus brought to an abrupt conclusion, amidst a scene that impressed many of the visitors that the designation " amicable," as applied to the club, was, at all events on the present occasion, an evident misnomer.

The decisions of Mr Cherrington, the judge, were indisputable ; the slipping of Wil- liam Cooper all that could be desired, and the untiring exertions of Mr James Browne, as secretary, to ensure sport, met with due reward, a large gathering of the right sort, with dogs seldom to be met with, being present. The promises held out for another year far exceed the hopes of the most sincere friends to this young undertaking. Dinners of the most excellent description were provided each day by Miss Summers, of the Whitmore Arms, Norton, under the presidency of W. P, Hammond, and Robert Leake, Esqs, respectively, which were numerously attended by those who know full well how to appreciate kindness such as was extended on this occasion by T. Charlton Whitmore, Esq, over whose estate the coursing took place. His health was drunk again and again with such cheers that left no doubt of the sincerity of the offering. Beer.

On Monday last the above club held its first meeting for the season over the estate of Sir C. M. Monck, Bart; but, in conse- quence of no fewer than nine undecided courses, the stakes were not run off. This was owing to the arbitrary power of the keeper, Mr Bell, who would appoint his own slipper ( one of his under keepers) after the secretary had appointed one. The weather was beautiful when the sport commenced, but the attendance was not numerous, owing to the heavy rains and wind early in the morn- ing. Hares were more plentiful than on the previous meeting. The great interest of the meeting was centred in the course between the wonderful little bitch Annoyance and a " dark '' dog, named Keverstone, from the county of Dur- ham. In the first " no- go," Annoyance was " cannoned.'' against, fell upon her head, and tumbled over. Keverstone then got pos- session of the hare and turned, when Annoyance got in, and made a grand kill, thus squaring off her points. In the second undecided course, Keverstone had a slight lead from the slips to the fence, when Anno3rance got in and led to cover. There was great dis- appointment manifested in the result of the course between Gallant Graham and Lady Solway, the " Gallant" never giving the Lady the slightest chance in a short run and kill upon the ploughed land. In the second course Fell Lad defeated Annoy- ance, who had just been put into the slip after a severe course with Keverstone, which gave great dissatisfaction. Mr Hay acted as judge with his usual coolness and ability. The slipper, on the contrary, gave universal disapproval. According to the rules, " No dogs are allowed to be in the field but those engaged in the stakes." It is to be regretted that an individual slipped his dog on two occasions when the dogs were running. In consequence of the stakes not being run off, the money will be divided amongst the following:— Beulah, Colleen Bawn, Gallant Graham, and Fell Lad, according to the circumstances of each case. A.

This meeting was held on Thursday, Jan 8, over the estate of Admiral Harcourt, and the weather being highly favourableit was most numerously attended. Owing to the too early closing of the stakes on Wednesday they filled very badly, and after the draw several dogs, which had been brought a great distance, arrived at the scene of action, but were prevented from taking any part in the sport, to the great annoyance of their owners. The meeting might liaveproveda most successful one, but, from thecause above stated, it terminated very unfavourably, there being an entire want of management throughout the whole proceedings. Hares were plentiful, and the sport was brought to a conclusion with an eight dog stake, got up on the ground, but which was not run off when our parcel was despatched. An ordinary was held at Mrs Hammond's, the Lord Nelson Inn, Masham, in the evening, to which ample justice was done. PENLLERGARE ( NEAR SWANSEA, GLAMORGAN- SHIRE) MEETING- JAN 6.

There were first- rate trials, and Mr Cranston's decisions— all of which were fairly given on the respective merits of the dogs— gave every satisfaction, and Mr Presdee's slipping was very good. A capital dinner was provided at tke Orange Tree Inn, to which the guests, after the fatigue of the day, did ample justice, and a very agreeable evening was spent.

Hares so very plentiful in the park as to enable the meeting to be brought to a most satisfactory conclusion in one day; ana running very stoutly, they afforded a series of splendid trials, of whieh I will send you a notice next week.

LATEST FROM AMERICA. REUTER'S TELEGRAMS. ( Per Scotia.) NEW YOEK, DEC. 30. The Banks's expedition arrived at New Orleans on the 14th, General Banks has superseded General Butler, and taken com- mand of the department of the Gulf. A portion of the Banks's expedition has seized Baton Rouge without opposition. Baton Rouge will be made the concentrating point for the departure of expeditions. It is rumoured that the Federal General Grant's army has fallen back in Tenessee, and that the Federals have abandoned Island No. 2. The guerilla General Morgan has captured Elizabeth Town, Kentucky, and cut the railroad between Louisville aud Nashville. The Federal pickets at Memphis have been driven in. The Washington National Republican says that foreign mediation is close at hand, and adds that it will, perhaps, be offered with the consent of the Federal Government. NEW YOEK, DEC 30 ( EVENING). Stuart's Confederate cavalry has made a raid into Dumfries and Occoquan, in the rear of Burnside's army, and cut the telegraph wires connecting it with Washington. General Stuart also pro. ceeded to Accotinck, twelve miles from Alexandria. The Fede- rals made various efforts to cut off their retreat, but it is not known with what effect. An unconfirmed report stated that General Stonewall Jackson had attacked General Sigel's corps in the neighbourhood of Stafford Court House, and that, after having been repulsed, he drew a portion of Sigel's corps into an ambuscade, and captured many prisoners. General Grant's army has fallen back to the north bank of the Tallahatchie. The Guerilla General Morgan has occupied Glas- gow, Kentucky. EXTRAORDINARY CAPTURE OF A BANKRUPT ON THE ALPS. To- day, at Guildhall, Wm. Buckwell, a railway contractor and manufacturer of artificial stone, of Phoenix Wharf, Greenwich ; of 86, King William- street,| City; and of Casa Crola, Borgomanero, Italy, was placed at the bar, before Alderman Humphery, upon a warrant charging him with not surrendering to his bankruptcy on the day fixed for his last examination. Since the bankrupt has been in custody other charges have been preferred against him for not delivering up his books of account, and for not making a full disclosure of his estate.— Mr Metcalfe, the prosecutor, said the bankrupt's trading commenced in the early part of 1860, and continued down to February, 1862, when he became a bankrupt for liabilities estimated at £ 90,000, of which £ 50,000 was due to Italian, and £ 40,000 to English creditors. It was alleged that he had been engaged in constructing a railway from Novara to Lak e Orlain Italy, under a contract for £ 184,000, that he had received the greater portion of thatamount, and hadnot expendedabove £ 15,000 on the line; that his transactions during the year 1861 amounted to £ 200,000, while the assets recovered up to the present time were exceedingly small, the principal portion of his property being in Italy, and a considerable amount being withheld from the assignees. The warrant for the bankrupt's apprehension was placed in the hands of Sergeant Haydon, of the detective corps, who, being furnished with the necessary credentials from the Foreign Office, proceeded to Turin, and discovered the bankrupt's retreat on the 7th of August. As, however, there was no treaty between this country and Italy, it was necessary for him to ob- tain the sanction of the Italian authorities, and the aid of a com" pany of Caribiniers, under the direction of the Questura. The bankrupt, who was found concealed between the ceiling and the roof of his house, was then lodged in prison, and after some nego- tiation with the authorities, it was arranged that he should be sent to the frontier and there discharged. Upon this Haydon started off for the frontier, and was ready waiting for his man on the top of Mount Cenis, accompanied by two French gendarmes. Another difficulty, however, arose, in consequence of the Italian officers stating that, unless the bankrupt signed a particular document, absolving the Italian authorities from the consequences of an illegal arrest, they had orders to take him back to prison, while the French gendarmes, on the other hand, stated that they had orders to shoot the prisoner if he attempted to escape. After much delay, during which time all parties were nearly frozen in the snow, the bankrupt elected to return to England, in prefer- ence to a renewed incarceration in an Italian prison. Evidence was then given as to some of the bankrupt's liabilities, including a claim by the railway company amounting to £ 50,000, and he was remanded, bail being refused. CHARGE OF DESERTING A WIFE. To- day, at Bow- street, James Mitchell Wyse, the minister of a Baptist Chapel, was summoned by the Board of Guardians of the Strand Union for refusing to support his wife, Hannah Wyse. The wife, who was far advanced in years, and was extremely deaf, said she was married to the defendant about 34 years ago. They lived together for three montfcs, when the defendant deserted her, and had never since contributed anything to her support.— An attorney, who appeared for the defendant, said that he had separated from his wife on the ground of her adultery. Mr Wyse had been summoned upon a similar charge 30 years ago, and upon hearing the evidence Sir Peter Laurie then dis- missed the summons.— Mrs Wyse denied that she had been guihyof adultery.— Mr Henry said that after so long a time as 30 years he could not re- open the question.— The summons was therefore dismissed. NOVEL APPLICATION FOR THE RECOVERY OF A WATCH. A respectably- attired young man applied for a summons for the recovery of his watch, under the following circumstances :— He said that in the early part of last year he became acquainted with a young lady, a pretty, light- hearted girl, and having walked out with her once or twice, had been accepted by her and her friends as her lover. About three months since he lent her his watch to wear, and shortly afterwards she became rather dis- tant, and wanted to break off' the acquaintance. She would not return his watch, and, what made it worse, he found she had given it to another young man. He went to Highbury Barn, and in the concert room he found his young woman in company with a young man. He asked her for his watch, but she said that her young man was taking care of it for her. The young man, who was handsome, young, and aristocratic in his bearing, and who had a moustache, wearing the uniform of one of the local corps of the volunteers, asked him to step in, and then informed him that if he ever dared to interfere with Mary Ann in any way he should give him a thrashing. He had since ascertained that the young fellow in question was only the son of a greengrocer, and was all day engaged in carrying out coals [ a laugh]. Under these cir- cumstances, he wished to know if he could not have a summons to enable him to get back his watch, which was a silver one, and, when new, cost 30s.— Mr D'Eyncourt said it was a case in which he could not interfere, and referred the applicant to the county court.— The applicant, who said he did not care so much abou. losing the watch as he did the young woman, then left the court THE LAW OF CHARACTER. To- day, at Wandsworth, William Blamire, the landlord of the Nelson Inn, Wandsworth- road, was charged with unlawfully de- taining a letter belonging to Francis Dewsbury, which was given to him as a character.— The defendant said that the letter was not addressed to him.— Mr Ingham told him that he had no right to keep it. If it had been addressed to him it would then have be- come his property.— The defendant said he, and others similarly placed, were put to expense and trouble in looking after lads. He applied at a servants' office, where he had to pay 2s 6d. The complainant was introduced to him, and he remained in his ser- vice a fortnight, when he left, simply on the ground of not being able to get up at seven o'clock in the morning. He now wished to return to the same office with the letter, and put other persons to inconvenience.— Mr Ingham looked at the letter and found it was dated the 29th of May last. He said the date would speak for itself, and no one would employ the complainant without in- quiring what lie had been doing in the meantime, therefore no serious harm would be done by him having the letter. The de- fendant detained it from a very proper motive, but it did not belong to him. He was perfectly right to refuse to give a charac- ter. He ordered the letter to be delivered up, wi th 2s costs. SUDDEN DEATH OF A SPORTING CHARACTER. To- day Mr Thomas Blagden, of 61, Mildmay- street, Ball's Pond, was found dead sitting in his chair at the above address. As he had been suffering from disease of the heart, it is not sup. posed any inquest will be held; but it appears he was very much involved in debt. CITY INTELLIGENCE. NOVEMBER. Worcester 31 Shrewsbury Autumn. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. The principal feature in connection with business within the last few days has been the extraordinary introduction of new companies, requiring in the aggregate a large amount of capital. Among the latest candidates for public favour may be included the Continental Banking Corporation, the British and American Exchange Banking Corporation, the Cannes Hotel Company, the Ramsay Lead Mine and Smelting Company, and the City of Lon- don Fire Insurance Company. As some of these projects will lead to the exportation of gold, they may hereafter exercise an adverse effect upon the Money Market, which for the moment, however, continues quiet and easy. A little more firmness is now apparent, because sovereigns are being withdrawn from the Bank of England for shipment to the Brazils and other places. There is no change to report in connection with business, the first weeks of the year being generally characterised by a con- traction rather than an expansion of mercantile enterprise. The English Funds have been exceedingly buoyant, because money is plentiful and politics quiescent. Consols closed yesterday ( Fri- day) afternoon at 93 § J for transfer, and at 93j f for the February aecount. , During the past week business in the Foreign Stock Market con- tinued moderately active, and prices generally exhibited an upward movement, owing to the increased buoyancy of the English Funds. Brazilian Bonds advanced about 1 per cent; Mexican Stock, however, declined the Egyptian Loan receded about j, while the Italian Loan improved f. Old Turkish Six per Cents rose 1 to I5, the Loan of 1858 j to |, and the Paid- up Loan of 1862 1 per cent. SATURDAY EVENING. The Funds to- day exhibited less firmness. Consols declined about g, closing officially at 93g for money, and, " after hours," a* 93 to 93| for the account. In the Foreign Market Turkish Bonds were heavy. The Old Six per Cents receded to 8- lj 85, the Loan of 1858 to 71 and 71|, and the Consolides declined being quoted 39f 40. Railway Shares generally experienced a further decline of about a to J per cent. In Joint- Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there was no change of importance to record in prices. PEDESTRIANISM.

It has now come to hand, and another deposit of £ 5 a side is to be sent on Friday.
