Capt Shackel. Capt C. D. Brickman, & c, and Several ladies of distinction. £ 1,000 in PRIZES will be GIVEN AWAY', The extraordinary excitement caused by the announcement of the assemblage together of the breed of the finest animals In creation next to the horse continues to increase daily as the time draws near for the closing of the entries on the 2d March next. Indeed, the application for stalls are so numerous from all parts of the country, that, notwith- standing the enlargement of the hail to twice its original size, the pro- prietor will feel obliged by an early application, to prevent disappoint- ment ; but the public may rest assured that every attention will be paid to the numerous exhibitors and noble patrons who have interested themselves In this national exhibition. Letters, with suggestions from noblemen, ladies of the highest rank, sportsmen, gentlemen, farmers, and all interested in the breed of this faithful animal have received the greatest attention; indeed, the proprietor of the hall feels grateful for every communication. Mr E. T. Smith refers back with pleasure to the patronage that he has hitherto received in his public capacity at Drury- lane Theatre, Her Majesty's Theatre, the Royal Cremorne Gardens, and every place where he has catered for the amuse- ment of the public, and having kept faith to the letter for so mauy years, is determined that on this occasion, and for future exhibitions, every care shall be taken to prevent favours. In par- ticular, being shown to any person at the exhibitions held on this property. Letters have also been received, complaining of the appointment of judges on former occasions, and requesting to know who are the judges for the present Exhibition. Mr E. T. Smith begs to assure exhibitors and subscribers that the selection of judges will take place from gentlemen of high reputation, known ho- nour, integrity, and position in society, and fully competent to de- cide upon the merits of the different dogs exhibited for prizes; but Mr Smith, for the same reason, thinks it right that the names of the judges should not be known until after the prizes are awarded, when they will be published with the prizes. The proprietor will feel obliged by the name of any gentleman qualified as judge, being forwarded to him, who will act on this occasion. Grooms, porters, and persons in charge of dogs for the Exhibition, will deliver them at the gate to the proper persons appointed; they will have a receipt for them, but they wrill not be made acquainted with the number of the stall of the dog until the prizes are awarded by the judges. Ashburnham Hall, Chelsea, is the best situation in London for dog, horse, poultry, and other exhibitions, from its near proximity to th* West End and Belgravia, & c. A railway station, communicating with all parts of England, will be opened March 2, within a few yards of Cremorne Gardens. The Cremorne telegraph statien is in the grounds for the conveni- ence of the public and exhibitors, for messages and instructions.

They desire the reality of a constitutional government; the King, by force and fraud, or both together, refuses it to them. He is too obstinately self- willed to" take warning from our Charles I., or from the French Louis XVI., or Louis Philippe, and he may push matters to such extremities, that, though lie may not, in the present daj-, incur the fate of the first two, he is by no means un- likely to incur the fate of the last. We shall perhaps see a Prus- sian " Mr Smith" landing here, with his cloak and valise, to seek in a really free country that safety which he obstinately refused to enjoy in a country ' which he would not allow to be free. THE NAVY, The ill management of the navy was the other night brought by Bir James Hay before the House of Commons. The result is the appointment of a committee. In other words, the just complaints of the navy are for a time shelved. And they will be so for all time if the press does not assist a gallant service to obtain justice from a reluctant administration. We are of the people— not of the navy— and, consequently, have no professional pride to gratify, nor any personal interest to serve by insisting on a due attention to the just claims of the navy. We are of the people, and so far as attention to those claims might create an increase of the public burdens, we have an interest in opposing them. But, being of the people, we desire justice. John Bull, in his most economic fits, never desired that honest work should be underpaid, or that men should not be properly recompensed for doing their duty ; what he does object to is that high pay should be given where there is no duty, or no useful duty, to perform. A proper House of Commons would look to these things, and see that, while useless expenditure was diminished or destroyed, pro- per pas'ment and proper advancement, where honest ser- vices were honestly rendered, should be carefully preserved. The opposition to the very proper object which Sir J. Hay had in view was led by Lord Palmerston in a string of red tape common- places that almost suggested his recent birth from a mass of that not ornamental article. As Minerva sprang, armed at all points, from the head of Jupiter, so the Palmerston of that discussion sprang, stringy in all directions, from the red tape boxes at the Stationery Office. First, it was little less than mutiny for a body of naval officers to meet together and draw up such a memoran- dum as they had drawn up. As if it was not the right of any and every body of men, as it is of every man, woman, and child in the kingdom, to submit to the cognizance of Parliament the state- ment of any real, aye, and of any supposed wrong. And this right, which belongs to every individual, belongs also to any number of individuals. The Ministerial absurdity was founded on the presumption, totally false in fact, that the officers had met as a body of armed men to dictate to the country. Nothing could be more nonsensical than such a pretence. No armed body can meet in this country to dictate to the Government— it would be crushed at once. We do not, like despotic Governments, ask what is the opinion of the army or of the navy. As a body, nei- ther the army nor the navy has any opinion on an affair of State. Both must obey the proper constitutional authorities. Every man in each service has a full right to his opinion, and a full right to express it in every lawful manner, but the whole body of which he forms part has, as a body, no right to a political opinion at all. What the naval officers here did was done as Englishmen, who, in a particular employment, thought that the regulations of that employment might be altered in form for their own advantage and for the public service. They were only a body of experts offering their opinions as such," and submitting them, like all other Englishmen, to the consideration of Parliament. The pre-^ tence that they were anything else, and the suggestion of that pretence, amounted to nothing better than what in the Turkish anguage is called bosh, and a meaner name could not be given toit. The next red- tapeism was, that it was highly improper for the House of Commons to interfere in what was a mere matter of the administrative business of the Government. The audacity of this proposition is equal to its folly. The House of Commons has a perfect right to interfere with everything of that sort, and to deny it that right would be to make it the mere office to register and enforce the decisions of the Minister. It would be, no doubt, highly inconvenient for the House of Commons to be at all times actively interfering in the administrative business of the country, iust as it would be highly inconvenient for the head of any great firm to be actively interfering with the discharge of the duties of his broker, factor, chief clerk, subordinate clerks, or porters ; but woe would come to any such firm if it once became an esta- blished doctrine that he had no right so to interfere. It is the especial right of the House of Commons to interfere in such mat- ters, and it is the sense of the existence of that right, and of the power to enforce it, that, in public business, as in the business of a great mercantile firm, keeps all things straight. The House of Com- mons has not only a right, but a duty, to see that no more money is spent than it votes ; that that money is spent as the house votes it shall be spent; and that, if any improved mode of spending it is known, that mode shall be adopted : and, finally, if the mode of spending the money is either improvident for the country or injurious to individuals, the House of Commons is bound to see that a uemedy is provided. The house not merely represents the whole country, but every individual in it, and is both entitled and bound to consider, and, if possible, remedy the complaints of each and all. —- PRUSSIA, Is there a fatality which urges men to self- destruction, and appears to justify that phrase ( in itself so blasphemous), Quem Deus vult perdere ? We cannot allow that there is. The phrase was invented to excuse what was inexcusable. Man, in any situa tion of life in which he is master of his own acts, must be respon- sible for them— the pretence of throwing that responsibility on a superior power, which did not act by positive compulsion, was nothing but the result of a cowardice which sought to excuse its own wickedness under the pretence of necessity. Certain it is that the King of Prussia seems mad, but the madness which in- fluences him is the madness engendered by the love of uncontrolled power— it is vice, not folly. He is now what he was in 1848, with the sole difference that he has now more command over the means to gratify his bad propensities. The Czar fancies that he finds in the King an honest and zealous friend. Zealous he may be, but honesty is not his merit. Selfishness dictates that conduct which all the world condemns, and if he could establish his own absolute power by the betrayal of the Czar, theCzar would be betrayed to- morrow. Of course, as between people and sovereign, he is for the sovereign, and against the people, but he would be the reverse if it better- suited his own purposes. It is said that the French Minister has already addressed to the Prussian Government a remonstrance, and has suggested, with a calmness of reasoning which ought to be terrible, the example of the Prussian Cabinet in 1855, when that Cabinet refused to allow the march of French troops through Prussian territory to reinforce Austrian troops which professed to hold the Principalities, not for warlike purposes, but solely to keep them from being made the theatre of war. At that time the Prussian Cabinet held to the strictest principles of neutrality, now it altogether defies neu- trality. In one case or the other its conduct is indefensible. And so, probably, the Minister believes it to be, for he refuses to the Chambers all explanation. What will be the result ? If the Ozar should be, as all honour- I able and feeling men hope he will be, defeated, in what situation ! - WILL THE PRUSSIA ® CABJAST STAI^ ? IT IS AT TLJIS MOMENT TIE OBIEOT POLAND. What is to become of Poland ? It is in insurrection, and men fancy that it may be successful. They no longer exaggerate, as they did before 1854, the strength of Eussia. At that time there were persons foolish enough to fancy that England and France were no match for it. That blunder has departed. For the pur- pose of conquering Russia Poland could do nothing; for the purpose of conquering Poland Russia may do much, but, let us hope, not do all. A more brutal and offensive tyranny than that which the Czar exercises in Poland does not exist— nay, is impos- sible to be conceived. Happily for humanity, all the Govern- ments of Europe have, by treaty, a right to interfere— for all hare guaranteed by their names the performance of promises which the Czars have deliberately, and with the most diabolical per versity, broken. And not merely the Jews, whose Crcesus- like co- religionists seem, by the bye, very unwilling to use their influence against a tyrant from whom they derive profits, but the Roman Catholic powers are bound by their professions of faith to inter- fere. The Czars look on the members of the Jewish and Roman Churches as rebels, and persecute them accordingly; and the pre- vious atrocities at Minsk, and the recent severities at the churches in Warsaw, show that the Czar really indulges in that ecclesias- tical tyranny which he so often and so untruly alleges against the Turk. Do not these facts suggest a characteristic remedy? There should be a protectorate of the Christian subjects of the Czar against the tyranny and injustice of the Czar. If the French Emperor was really what he asserts himself to be— the protector of the Latin Church and its members— he would have a good cause of quarrel with the Czar, and all political, aye, and all humane motives being disregarded by the Czar, the Emperor would find himself obliged to coerce into good behaviour a Go- vernment which is quite as treacherous and cruel, though not quite so frankly and ostentatiously malevolent, as that of Japan. It is notorious that many Russian efficers have shown their un- willingness to execute the savage orders which reach them from St Petersburg, and constitute the delight of the Archduke Con- stantine, who is, perhaps, their real originator. The Warsaw correspondent of the Morning Post affirms that the Count de Korff received the order to level the town of Ogredowice to the dust; he would not obey the order; it was peremptory; a military death would have been his punishment, and to escape from his misery he blew out his brains. There are other Russian officers who feel like him. But there are many more who are the willing tools of the savageness of the Archduke and Czar. The Poles are driven to despair, and in despair they have broken out into insur- rection. They have acted wisely. They do not bring their forces together in one mass to be mowed down, without hope of resist- ance. by the well- provided artillery of the enemy; they imitate rather the guerilla plan ef the Spaniards, and they do so, in most instances, with success. They have already maintained themselves long enough to have got rid of the name of insurgents, and in a short time they will be entitled to call themselves a state, and to demand that they shall be treated by other nations as belligerents. The King of Prussia may then find that he has made " a mis- take" in policy, as well as perpetrated a crime against humanity. England, France, and Austria may separately or conjointly find it their interest, as well as duty, to interfere. " Proximus ardet Ucalegon," is a warning which Austria would be entitled to remember, and would not be bound to remember in favour of the personage who wantonly and savagely provoked the conflagration. And if the other two countries do set up to be the protectors of humanity, and will not surrender their treaty rights, and disregard their treaty obligations, they ought to combine to compel the obser- vance of those promises, from making which the Czars have derived so much profit, but which they have only remembered in order to violate. THE ROYAL WEDDDfG. In our Supplement will be found a statement that the Corpora- tion of London were much aggrieved at an order from the Home Secretary that the civic procession on Saturday next, instead of taking precedence of the royal carriages, and thus conducting our future queen through the city of London, should fall in in the rear, and so drive the prince and his fair betrothed through the streets. On Thursday a deputation from the Royal Reception Committee of the Corporation of London, composed of the Lord Mayor and several of the magistrates and common councilmen, had an interview with the Lord Chambariain to urge the aban- donment of the order. They are said to have pressed upon Lord Sydney a variety of objections to such an arrangement, but chiefly the public disappointment which would be caused by any attempt to hurry unnecessarily through the metropolis the illustrious per- sonages whom untold thousands of people will assemble to wit- ness and welcome, and in whose reception in a manner becoming the dignity and importance of the occasion the Corporation are prepared to expend money to an unlimited amount. They are also understood to have urged the propriety of the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs, with the other members of the corporation, conduct- ing the prince and princess through the city, and so leading the way, instead of following them. Any other arrangement, they submit, would be to put the cart before the horse, and be simply ludicrous ; and, if that be insisted upon, they are determined to take no part in the procession, much as they would deplore such a result and the violence done to their sentiments of loyalty and devotion. Lord Sydney, and still more, Sir George Grey are said to have been averse from changing the proposed order. The deputation took their leave, and afterwards reported the result to the Royal Reception Committee, sitting at Guildhall, who were deeply disappointed. This body, 42 in number, is composed of the Lord Mayor, the Sheriffs ( of London and Middlesex), with 13 of the aldermen, the rest being common councilmen. The proposal of the committee is understood to be that the master and wardens of the twelve principal livery companies, the Court of Lieutenancy, or a deputation of them, and the Corporation of London, headed by the Lord Mayor and sheriffs shall oonduct the royal personages through the City; that the great body of the civic authorities, formed in order on London Bridge, shall" await there the arrival of the prince and princess, and be prepared to move on without delay or confusion as their royal highnesses, on the way from the Bricklayers' Arms station, appear in sight. Assuming a contrary arrangement, it is argued that the corporation would have to wait until the prince and princess had passed, and then form in order as well as they could in the rear of the procession, that confusion and possibly accidents might happen, that in the end some considerable part of the retinue might be left behind, and the whole cavalcade be divested of dignity and decorum. To a man, the whole reception com- mittee are said to have opposed the arrangement of Sir George Grey, and before separating to have passed a resolution authorising the same deputation to seek an interview with Lord Palmerston on the subject, with the view, if possible, to prevail upon him so to modify the arrangement of the pageant as to bring it into con- formity with the usage observed on kindred occasions, and, above all, as they believe, to conduce to the enjoyment of the people. Should this overture fail, they are prepared to summon a special court of Common Council to recommend that the corporation re- frain altogether from taking part in the reception. The proposal of the Home Secretary as to the order of the procession is ex- tremely unpopular out of the coporation as well as in it, and was the subject of much adverse comment. COVENTRY.— The general adoption of the proposal to wear wed- ding favours manufactured of Coventry riband on the day of the royal marriage has produced the result anticipated, and the looms of'that town, which, till within the last few weeks, were in the majority of instances standing idle, are now to a very great extent busily employed. The weavers have demanded and obtained very remunerative wages from their employers. The stock of white ribands ia the hands of the warehousemen and manufacturers has become exhausted, and, as there is a constant demand even in times of depression for white ribands for the trimming of ladies' bonnets, it necessarily follows that the weavers will have to work hard for a considerable time in order to replen- ish that stock. The execution of orders for the usual spring trade has also, we believe, been to a great extent deferred in con- sequence of the pressure of business, A large number of the favours to be worn have also been made up in Coventry. We hear that one manufacturer who was the first to commence operations will clear several thousand pounds by the speculation. He has just received a large order for rosettes to be worn by the members of the Queen's household. The favours are executed in every variety of form and fashion, there being altogether about 50 or 60 different styles for the purchaser to choose from. Many are simply made of plain white riband, while perhaps by far the larger number are marked with the crest of the Prince of Wales, which is either woven or stamped upon some prominent part of the favour. Others have very good portraits of the prince and princess printed on the ends of riband attached to the rosette. The prices at which the favours are produced are such as will be suitable to the means of the humblest. We are authorised to announce that the volunteer corps of the city of London, to which authority has been given to be under arms on the 7th instant, are to be at the stations respectively as- signed to them at one o'clock precisely, and that the order of formation for each corps will be communicated hereafter to its commanding officer. The volunteer corps that are to assemble in Hyde Park must be on the ground at two p. m. No company of this force is to be less than 24 files or more than 32 files. DEPARTURE OF THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA.— COPENHAGEN, FEB 26, EVENING-.— The departure of her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra, which took place to- day, presented almost imposing spectacle. All the houses from the Royal Palace to the railway station were beautifully adorned with garlands and hangings, and decorated with English and Scandinavian flags. Immense crowds thronged the streets through which her royal highness had to pass. The princess left the royal palace at three, and arrived at the railway station at four o'clock p. m. Her royal highness, with her parents and her eldest brother, occupied an open carriage, and were escorted by the Hussars ef the Guard. Quantities of flowers were thrown from the windows of the houses along the route. A guard of honour was stationed at the railway terminus, which which was splendidly decorated. All the Ministers and high functionaries, the municipal authorities, and the elite of Copenha- gen were assembled at the station. The Chief President of Copen- hagen delivered a farewell address, for which Prince Christian, the father of the princess, returned thanks. Her royal highness's departure from Copenhagen took place at 4: 30 p. m. The weather was fine and mild. PRINCE ALFRED.— The alarm which prevailed on Sunday and Monday last as to the state of health of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred has, we are happy to say, subsided. It was known last week that the prince was suffering from fever, and on Sun- day and Monday many painful rumours were afloat, to the effect that, the royal prince was no more. The young prince is now in the hospital at Malta, and the telegrams throughout the week re- present him to be progressing very favourably. THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA'S TRAVELLING WARDROBE.— We have just inspected a very beautiful travelling wardrobe, manu- factured for H. R. H. the Princess Alexandra of Denmark, by Messrs W. Day and Son, the well- known military outfitters, of 353, Strand. Our previous acquaintance with trunks and port- manteaus had made us a little sceptical as to such articles being made the medium of embellishment; but the richly- chased and gilt metal mountings outside, and the magnificent embroidery of the princess's arms in gold, surrounded by a bridal wreath in various coloured silks, with which the interior is decorated, have completely dispelled our preconceived notions. Certainly such exquisite taste and perfect workmanship have never previously been displayed in the production of a portmanteau, and Messrs W. Day and Son may fairly claim the merit of producing that which has never been attempted in their branch of manufactures. We have no doubt the curious in such matters may obtain a sight of it before it leaves the manufacturers" establishment. DEATH OF COLONEL ROBERT RAMSAY.— We have to record the death of Colonel Robert Ramsay, late Lieut- Colonel of the 74th Regt of Bengal Native Infantry, and Deputy Military Audi- tor- General at Calcutta. The gallant officer, who was 59 years of age, died at Ipswich, on Saturday, Feb 21. Mis commissions bear date, as ensign, Jan 8, 1825 ; lieutenant. Dee 9,1825 ; brevet captain, Jan 8,1840 ; captain, March 17, 1841; brevet- major, Nov 11,18- 51; major, July 14,1853 ; and lieutenant- colonel, Nov 18, 1857. EXTRAORDINARY LONGEVITY.— Th e limes obituary of Thursday contained, among others, the deaths of five ladies and three gentle- men, whose united ages amounted to 687 years, giving on an average 85 years and upwards of ten months to each. The eldest was a lady, who had reached the extraordinary age of 100 years, j and the youngest, also of the same sex, was 80 years of age. The oldest gentleman was 87, and the youngest 82 years. SHOCKING DEATH.— AS the boys of Hurst College were at play on Monday afternoon in the college grounds, some of them got upon the large iron roller which is used in the cricket field, and weighs nearly two tons. While at play with this ponderous machine, which by some means they got in motion, one of them, a lad named Clothier, son of a surgeon at Haslemere, fell, and the roller passed entirely over him, crashing his body in a frightful manner, causing instantaneous death. THE TEETH AND BREATH.— A good set of teeth ever insures favourable impressions, while their preservation is of the utmost importance to every individual, both as regards the general health by the proper mastication of food, and the consequent possession of pure and sweet breath. Among the various preparations offered for the teeth and gums we could particularise " Rowland's Odonto, or Pearl Dentifrice," as unrivalled for its excellence in purifying, embellishing, and pr^ mng these important ^ fid attractive FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FSAN0E. The Meek sayg Let, us do like the public, and occupy our » selves before any other . thing with the affairs of Poland. " We do not yet know what is the / ate of the three young Poles delivered up to Russia by Prussia ; oos vi them, M Koperczynski, was a pupil of the military school £> f St Cyr; and the two others, M Pronczkowski and M Drik'owsL'i, belonged to our civil schools. The youth of France are indignant at the idea that those three soldiers from their ranks should march manacled to Siberia, between two files of Cossacks, unless some Russian provost had preferred to get rid of them at once. The Prussian G- overnment is not satisfied with making itself a gaoler, but becomes a pur- veyor to the executioner." TSfe Patrie says:—" We havs reason to believe that a despatch has been forwarded by the French Go- vernment to the Due de Talleyrand Perigord, French Ambassador at Berlin. The despatch is said to be corahed in terms as root'e- rate as they are friendly towards the Prussian Government." The Patrie farther asserts that the despatch points out that Prussia, by assisting to crush the insurrection in Poland, would be liable to arouse the aspirations of other populations of Polish origin, which might make common cause with the insurgents. Iji France, under the heading " Europe and Poland," pablislies an article signed by the secretary of the paper, considering the question from the twofold point of view of European treaties and of the liberal ideas prevalent in Europe. The writer of She article says : —" An enslaved Poland would not only be a violation of moral right, but would also be opposed to the ' understanding and all the conditions upon which the political existence of all great states is based." The Presse publishes an article by M Emile de G- irardin in the form of a letter addressed to the Emperor of Eussia, calling upon him to fulfil the promises made by Alexander I., and to re- establish Poland. A petition in favour of Poland has been pre- sented to the Senate by M St Marc Girardin, bearing 2,0£ H) signa- tures. The report of the committee upon this petition will be shortly made. The Const it utunnel, in an article signed by its secretary, M Boniface, says:—" One cannot but be astonished at the excitement which has been produced en the Bourse of Paris by the news of the conclusion of a treaty between Prussia and Eussia. The comments of the press on this subject have given rise to exaggerated fears. Up to the present time the French Government has done nothing beyond entering into communica- tion with the Cabinetof London, in order to agree upon the course that should be followed in this matter." PORTUGAL, Two new commercial banks under English supervision, and partly supported by British capital, are about to be established in Lisbon. The subscription for the relief of the Lancashire opera- tives has been closed, and amounts to more than £- 550. Mr Joseph Ellerton and Mr Eichard Knowles, merchants, of Lisbon, very actively promoted the subscriptions. The French liner Bretagne, with troops on board for Mexico, has arrived at Lisbon. The case of Mr Lindsay, M. P., with the Union Mercantile Com- pany has, it is said, been taken up by the British ministers, but the Portuguese Government contends that the question is not in- ternational. The law of entail will shortly undergo considerable modification. The King has conferred the Order of Christ upon Captain Burnay, for the services he. rendered to the fishermen at Figuera. ITALY, In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies Signer Broglio pre- sented the report of the committee upon the loan of 760 millions intended by the Government. The report is favourable to the conclusion of the loan. In the sitting of the Chamber of Depu- ties the debate upon the bill authorising the new loan took place. Signor Mordini attacked the policy of the Ministry, - which he declared by its opposition to all members of the party of action was spreading indifference and general scepticism throughout the country, and continued:—" I consider the policy of Italy too subservient to foreign interests. If we were to display more in- dependence towards France we should obtain the more efficacious friendship of England." Signor Crispi also spoke against the loan. He did not approve of the financial and administrative system of the Ministry. If the following statement is true, it. shows the Piedmontese commander to be worse than a fool. News reached Eome of a furious encounter with the reactionary bands in the Matese. The Piedmontese troops made the attack on a Royalist column, and put the Neapolitan companies in front, with an order to the Bersaglieri to fire on them if they did not do their duty. The Neapolitans, unluckily for their leaders, overheard the order, turned on the Piedmontese, and making common cause with their countrymen forced the " esterV to retire with heavy loss. AUSTRIA, The Press of Vienna says :—" Thereduction of the army in Italy is said to have been decided on, and will be carried into exe- cution very shortly. All the regiments will be reduced to the peace footing of 60 men per company, which is henceforth to be the normal number in time of peace. The third battalions of the regiments of Lombardo- Venetia will be sent to their cantons of recruitment, where they will soon be placed on the footing of 20 men per company. This reduction will be more than 24,000 men." The Allgemeine Zeitung says :—" It is asserted that the Bavarian Minister for Foreign Affairs has issued a circular note inviting the other states of the Zollverein, in the event of that union being dissolved, to form a special Zollverein, in which Austria should be included." PRUSSIA. In the sitting of the committee on Polish affairs nor. e of the Ministers nor any Royal Commissioner was present, and no com- munication was received from the Government. The committee resolved that this circumstance should be entered in the protocol of the sitting. The proposition of the Liberal section of the Chamber in reference to Poland was agreed to almost unani- mously, three members only voting against it. Upon the essen- tial points of the proposition, indeed, unanimity of opinion pre- vailed. MM Bonin and Sanger were opposed to any aid being given to Russia. Several Berlin papers announce that the Russian frontier town of Dobrzn, opposite the Prussian frontier town of Gollub, was occupied by the Prussian military for eight hours. The police seized 300 hand grenades in the possession of Polish inhabitants of Berlin. These persons have been arrested, and the public prosecutor received instructions at noon to commence the judicial inquiry. The following is the text of the resolution about to be introduced in the Prussian Chamber upon the subject of the convention with Russia:—" The interest of Prussia de- mands that the Government, in presence of the insurrection which has broken out in the kingdom of Poland, should accord no aid or favour to either the Russian Government or the in- surgents ; consequently, that it should not permit either of the combatants to enter Prussian territory without being instantly disarmed." It is rumoured in Berlin that the orders respecting the concentration of several corps d'armee in the eastern provinces have been withdrawn. M Bismark has addressed the Chamber, and told them that the Government has nothing to retract, but he refuses to give any explanations as to what it has done. POLAND. The following is from the Czas.-—" In the government of Lub- lin, the principal bodies of the insurgents occupy the neighbour- hood of Dubienka. In the government of Podlachia there only remain some small bands in the marshes near the river Ziwiec, the main body of the insurrectional forces have gone into Li- thuania. The insurgents have again made their appearance in the government of Piock, and particularly at Lipno. We have received circumstantial details of the combat of Siemiatyche. Most severe fighting took place near the cemetery. The Russians had four pieces of artillery, from which they sent forth showers of grape. The insurgent riflemen and those armed with scythes repulsed the attack. The Russians, having received reinforce- ments, recommenced the fight with great vigour. The insurgents were 2,000 strong. M Lewandowski, the chief of the insurrection in Podlachia, arrived on the field of battle and took the com- mand. The insurgents in the camp of Wengrowo, commanded by Soksl. remained on the other side the Bug. The Russians set fire to the town, but the straggle nevertheless continued. The Poles retired in three columns. The Russians thought it less ad- vantageous to pursue them than to rush into the town, where they committed the most frightful massacres." According to private letters received by the Presse, the Provisional Government in Poland is every day assuming a more regular character. At the commencement of the struggle it is said to have established a voluntary income- tax of 5 per cent, which has yielded large sums to the patriotic treasury. One rich Pole has paid 20,000 roubles, it is declared, as his contribution. The military organisation is divided into three classes, according to the plan adopted in the Swiss army. The first class consists of all able- bodied men of from 20 to 30 years of age; the second, of those between 30 and 40 years of age; and the third of the remainder of the population. At present the first class has alone been called out. The second assists in the equipment of the first, and in fulfilling various missions at home and abroad. It is, however, completely armed, and can be called out at a moment's notice. The national army is said to amount to 100,000 men. The Austrian Gazette, in a letter from Cracow of the 19th ult, gives the following details re- specting the contest at Miechow. The insurgent attack upon that town was commenced by a detachment of about 150 or 200 Zouaves, who advanced with great courage, and took possession of a small church in which the Russians had barricaded them- selves. This detachment was led by a Frenchman, who received a wound in the leg, but who continued the attack, and shot down five of the enemy with his revolver. The Russians, having re- treated, formed themselves into a square, and, backed by their barracks and a convent, succeeded in withstanding the assaults made upon them by the insurgents, who were compelled to with- draw, after suffering considerable loss. The Russians afterwards sacked the town, murdered many of the inhabitants, among whom were several women, and then driving out the rest, set fire to the place, which is now almost utterly destroyed. The Rus- sian forces in Poland are ( says the Nord) to be increased from 70,000 to 100,000 men. The abandonment of Warsaw is said to have been at one time agitated at a council of war at which the Grand Duke Constantine presided, but no decision has been come to on the subject. The insurgents have destroyed some bridges upon the Warsaw Railway. They are also reported to have beaten the Russians near Dubienka, taking two cannons. It is clear that many successes have been gained by the men under Langiewicz. He is said to discharge in the most admirable man- ner the double duty of a general and a soldier, and after a battle he superintends the care of the wounded. He seems to be as much loved as a man as he is trusted and obeyed as a com- mander. It is asserted that a portion of the Polish refugees in- tend to offer to Count Walewski the throne of Poland, should the kingdom be reconstituted. TURKEY. Ismail Pacha, the new Viceroy of Egypt, has arrived here. The firman confirming his accession to the Throne has been read at the Porte. An Imperial Hatt has been published annotmcing that the Sultan will in future surrender 20 per cent, of the re- venues allotted for the civil list, ordering the reduction of official salaries and the dismissal of all superfluous employes. Safvet Effendi has been appointed President of the Council. Dispatches received from Constantinople state that the Porte had addressed a circular note to its representatives abroad calling attention to the state of things in the Danubian Principalities. GREECE. M Canires has tendered his resignation. A new Ministry was thereupon formed by MM Bulgaris and Ruphos, and was sanctioned by the National Assembly. It was composed as follows:— Foreign Affairs, M Calligas ; Interior, M Loudos ; Finance, M Chaya ; War, M Artemis; Justice, M Valbis. Popular demonstrations having, however, been made against the Provisional Government of MM Bulgaris and Ruphos and their Cabinet, both the former and the latter resigned. There will in future be no Provisional Government, and the Ministry will be formed by the National Assembly itself. The Provisional Government recently established has fallen, through a demonstra- tion got ap with the assistance of part of the garrison. The Assembly has invested President Moraitisaa with the executive powers until it should order otherwise, The Assembly are dis- cussing a new fosm of government. ions of the Nfew York Assembly in favour of a reduction of the duty on printing paper, were presented. A memorial from bankers and merchants © f New Yck city, asking that the notes Of the Government be received for Cobtom House dues. A bill to organise a signal corps during the rebellion was reported from the military committee. A bill for enrolling ar. d calling out the national forces was reported from the same committee. The secretary of the Treasury was requested to communicate to tbo Senate the amount of Government cotton sold in New York since the establishment of the blockade, & c. A bill to raise additional soldiers for the service of the Umtevd States was introduced by Mr Sumner of Massachusetts. A resojution was adopted calling upon the President for information regarding the mission of M Mercier, the French Minister, to Eichiwnd. The bills relating to the district of Columbia were passed. The Currency Bill was taken up and read as the special order. An amena'ment was adopted increasing the amount of circulating currency from 200,000,000 dollars to 300,000,000 dollars. TOe Senate held an executive session and then adjourned. Correspondence has been published between the French and FedeiW Governments, concerning an offer of mediation, and the French pro- posal that Northern an4 Southern Commissioners should meet on neutral ground for discussion, without the c essation of hostilities. Mr Seward refuses to entertain any proportion con- cerning the conduct of American domestic affairs from any' foreign pt'wer whatever. The Senate has passed a bill providing for a national currency, and also a bill granting pecuniary aid to Mis- souri for the emancipation of the slaves. The Federals have cut the banks on the Mississippi side of the Mississippi River, lSmt'tea below Helena, ana on the Louisiana side opposite Lake Provi- dence- This has been done in order to flood the country, and to open a communication for steam boats to a point in the rear of Vicksbtu- g, and to reach the Yazoo river some distance from its mouth. The late Federal victory at Fort Dotmelson was gained by means of gunboats, which had arrived and shelled the Confe- derates. The Federals in the fort were surrounded, and had tired their last round of ammunition when the gunboats arrived. The Senate has passed a resolution, taxing the bank circulation 1 per cent for two years, and 2 per cent thereafter. The Confederate Congress has passed a resolution, directing a committee to inquire into the expediency of passing a bill providing that negroes ca p- tured from the enemy shall be returned to their owners, and those having no masters shall be sold to raise a fund to reimburse citi- zens who have lost, their slaves through the enemy. GeneralFremont has applied to he employedlupon active service The Port Royal correspondent of the New York World says that Gen Foster's expedition is disembarking on Helena Island. All mystery enshrouding the expedition is thus destroyed, as days must elapse before anything could be done. Rumours are rife of disputes between Generals Foster and Hun- ter. Foster has returned to Washington. General Joe Johnson has superseded General Bragg inTenriessee. MUSIC Am BBAMA. DRUKY- IANE THEATEE.— A new drama, abounding in scenic effects, and written by Mr Falconer, the lessee of ttie theatre, was produced on Monday night before about as crowded an audience as ever assembled within the walls of Old Drury. The name of this spectacle, for spectacle it is and nothing more, is " Bonnie Dundee; or, the Gathering of the Clans." It is founded, so the bills tell us, on the ballad of that name, but the story is mixed up with that of the fearful Massacre of Glencoe, and it is difficult to say where the one leaves off and the other begins. From what we could glean, it appeared that John Gra- hame of Claverhouse, alias Bonnie Dundee ( Mr E. Phelps), on his road from Edinburgh to Lochaber, was in danger, whilst unattended and on foot, of being taken prisoner by the Covenanters, but is rescued from this peril by the good offices of Helen Cameron ( Mrs D. P. Bowers) and Janet ( Mrs Falconer), her foster sister. In the second act we are introduced to Alaster M'Donald ( Mr Henry Lorraine), who is seized as a spy, but whose life is spared on condition that he shall become the prisoner of M'lan ( Mr Charles Seiby), who for some reason or other defies him to mortal combat, and with whom he is about to fight, but that his hand is arrested by Elspat ( Miss Hudson), who states that Alaster is the nephew of MTan. Soon after this event the ga- thering of the clans takes place, and the enormous assemblage of Highlanders, after indulging in sword dances, reels, and the feats of strength incidental to Highland revelling, group them- selves round Bonnie Dundee, whom they swear to follow to the death, wherever that death may be. The third act takes us to Glencoe, and we hear no more of Dundee. Alaster, however, is married to Helen, and the drama concludes with their escape, by a stratagem of the lady, from the massacre. At the conclu- sion there was a clamour of applause, mingled with a great many hisses. The scenery is superb, as are the general arrangements of the piece throughout; indeed, the grand set scene of the gathering of the clans ecMpses everything hitherto produced on the stage, the array of Highlanders, trooping in one after another till the whole area is closely packed with them, and the heaths and rocks in the background form such a picture as the theatrical eye has seldom rested on. The final scene is very beautiful, representing Glencoe by moonlight, with bridges here and there, torrents, rocky steeps, precipices, forming one of the most picturesque exteriors which have ever taxed the skill and ingenuity of Mr Telbin to produce. In the scene which terminates the second act Mr Henry Haigh appeared, and sang the popular ballad of " Bonnie Dundee," and in the last act Miss Wentworth sang the pathetic old Scotch song " John Anderson, my jo." There was so little left for the principal performers to say and do, that all we can record is, that that little was said and done well by all parties concerned. The drama will probably please the town in virtue of the costliness of its mise en scene and general getting up,, but we cannot predict for it so long a run as attended the author's favourite " Peep o' Day.'' PKINCEBS'S THEATEE.— A new drama, written partly in blank verse, has been produced at this theatre under the title of " The Winning Suit.'' Mr Lewis Filmore is the author. A certain princess of Castile, Orelia ( Miss Amy Sedgwick), is determined to choose a husband for herself, despite the endeavours of her uncle, the King of Castile ( Mr Stephenson), to select one for her. In a stormy interview with the latter the Princess is compromised by the appearance of a man hidden in her apartment, and unable to account for his presence, she is imprisoned by the tyrannical King. From the dungeon she escapes at the instigation and con- nivance of Count Roderick ( Mr Herman Vezin), and engages herself at a village inn. Here she is rated by the Hostess ( Mrs H. Marston) for allowing some travellers to leave the house without paying the score, but is saved from further annoyance by the timely arrival of Pedro, a goldsmith ( Mr H. Marston), who offers to conduot her to an adjacent convent. On the road, however, they are in danger of being arrested by the King's soldiers, and as the only way to avoid this peril the Princess marries the Goldsmith." The danger passed, the lady desires to pursue her intended route, but to this the Goldsmith " demurs, claiming her presence at his own house. After a struggle, she determines to abjure the past and become a tradesman's wife. In the last act both Goldsmith and Princess are seen living happil3' together; but a ball taking place, she discovers that her husband is the King of Arragon, whom she had rejected without seeing him, and that all her adventures have been projected for her happiness and for the state's good by her cousin, Count Roderick, This drama was very well acted, Miss Amy Sedgwick showing to advantage throughout it, especially in the more domestic and lively scenes, and Mr Marston sustaining the character of the pretended goldsmith with good effect. Mrs Marston, in the small part of the Hostess, and Mr Vezin, as the scheming cousin, played with great humour and energy. The drama hung fire in the early part of its career, but as it proceeded seemed to win the good opinion of the large audience assembled to witness it. ADELPHI THEATEE.— A comic little farce, called " A Valen- tine," written by Messrs Halliday and Breugh, is one of the present attractions at this house, and rouses the hilarity of the audience by the exhibition it affords of Mr Toole's irresistible drollery. He represents a postmaster and fancy stationer, who is troubled out of his life by the constant interruptions to hia work produced by the postage of the numerous loveletters on. Valentine's Day, and the repeated calls for valentines from his young lady customers and others. He is also scared by a fear that he may be imprisoned for feloniously detaining a letter, the said letter being supposed by him to contain a valentine ad- dressed to his Mary Anne. Mr Toole revelled in the fun which he elicited from these circumstances, and the " Valentine" pleased the good folks who came to see it most really, to judge from the hearty laughter heard all over the theatre. STRAND THEATEE.—" Ivanhoe" still appears before the foot- lights in his burlesque garb, and the old farce of " The Secret" follows. A new comedietta is announced, under the title of " My Preserver;'' and the engagement of Mr George Honey is also spoken of as certain. ST JAMES'S THEATEE.— Great preparations are going on here to give all possible effect to the production of " Lady Audley's Secret," a new drama, founded, of course, on the popular novel of that name written by Miss Braddon. Mr Beverley will be the presiding genius in the scenic department, which augurs well for the success of the piece. OLYMPIC THEATEE.—" Camilla's Husband" having made his bow for nearly a hundred nights, will, it is said, shortly with- draw, to allow of the appearance of some newer theatrical heroes on this stage. THE MARKETS, AMERICA, The New York Times says:—" We have an interesting report of the operations of the l3t South Carolina Volunteers ( coloured) re- cently in Georgia and Florida. At 8t Simon and Jeky 11 Islands they captured a quantity of railroad iron, valued at 5,000 dollars, besides live stock and farming utensils. They then proceeded up the St Mary's River, where several encounters with the rebels took place, in every one of which the coloured troops were suc- cessful. We have accounts this morning of the sailing of General Foster's expedition from Beaufort, N. C„ and its safe arrival at Port Royal, 8. C. The first vessels of the fleet reached the latter place on the Baorning of the 31st Jan, and the rest of the steamers followed in the course of the day. The sailing vessels had also mostly arrived at the date of our latest advices— the 2d ult. Gen Foster was in conference with General Hunter, and measures were being rapidly perfected to carry out the object of the expedi- tion." General Hunter has informed the Confederate authorities G eorgia that he shall hold all prisoners in close confinement and answerable with their lives for the safety of those Federal officers captured by the Confederates until President Davis s murderous proclamation is withdrawn. The Senate has obtained the correspondence between the Federal Cabinet and the French Government concerning mediation, arbitration, or other means of ending the war, and also concerning the mis- sion of the French Minister to Richmond. M Mercier and Mr Seward are at variance. Mr Sumner has introduced a bill in the Senate to enrol 300,000 negro soldiers. The following is a sum- mary of th § proceedings in Congress:— In the Senate the resold CORN EXCHANGE, MAKK- LA.¥ E.- FRID4. T. There have been good supplies of Wheat offering at most of the lead- ing provincial markets this week. The trade continues in the same dull state as previously noticed, and prices on the average have declined la per qr for the best descriptions; while for all samples wanting quality a greater concession has been made where sales have been effected. Fine Barleys have well maintained their value. The business in Oats, Beans,, and Feas has been unimportant, with scarcely any variation in the value of either. Elour has made slow way, and prices with difficulty maintained. The aggregate supply of English grain of all kinds has been very short at Mark- lane this week; and imports of foreign have been equally so. Fresh to hand from the home growers to- day no great quantity of Wheat was received; still as there was a paucity of buyers either for that or foreign, the market was in a dull state at Monday's reduced quotations of Is to 2s per qr.

THE PAST LINCOLN MEETING, AND THE FUTUEE OF NOTTINGHAM AND DERBY. [ LATEST EDITION.] TEE TUBE. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S. MONDAY, FEB 23.— Speculation was again the reverse of animated, for the same dulness that has uniformly marked the doings on the Handicaps was especially manifest this afternoon. For the Lincoln Handicap, libellous and Hubert were chiefly enquired after; 11 to 2 was the highest offer against the former at the finish, and half a point more against Hubert; 10 to 1 was offered " bar two," although those odds were occasionally booked about Peignoir, Lopcatcher, and Revolver, the last- named having superseded his stable companion, the " retired" Bea Nymph. The once- fancied Douche retired to offers of 14 to 1, and Man- rico was invested on at odds varying frem 20 to 1 to 100 to 6. Tlie Liverpool Steeple Chase was scarcely named; Satellite, how- ever, we may note, was firm at 7 to 1. For the Northamptonshire Stakes, 11 to 1, 12 to 1, and finally 14 to 1 was offered on the field, but very little was done thereon, and that little very vague. The same remark applies to the Chester Cup, for which 20 to 1 con- tinued to be offered against Stradeila, while five more points were taken about Zetland; 2 to 1 was booked about the three year olds. Hospodar at the finish had the " call" of Saccharometer for the Two Thousand, for after 4j to 1 had been laid against the French horse, 4 to 1 was taken— though always easily obtainable— while not less than 9 to 2 was accepted about Saccharometer. 0 to 4 was the highest offer about the two ( coupled). 1,000 to 109 was early in the afternoon booked about Michael Scott, but subsequently 11 to 1 was offered without meeting with a response, and some money went on his stable companion, Early Purl, at 20 to 1. At first 15 to 1 was taken about Rapid Rhone, but subsequently 100 to 6 was offered ; the latter price was taken once about Blue Mantle. As on the previous Monday, 11 to 2 was offered on the field for the Derby, and 10 to 1 would have been taken about Baccharometer. Hospodar was once or twice invested on to a small amount at 12 to 1, layers being very willing to ge on. Carnival was again firm at 25 to 1— odds that at the close were scarcely obtainable— and after 6,000 to 200 had been taken about King of Utopia, 1,000 to 38 was offered. 5,000 to 123 was laid against Jarnicoton. 10 to 1 was booked about John Scott's lot, and 1,000 to 15 about Hospodar winning the Two Thousand, Lord Clifden the Derby, and The Orphan the Oaks.

LORD ALBEMARLE AND LEAMINGTON,— The first young stock got by these very promising stallions that have put in appearance showed on Wednesday last, at Lincoln, in the Brocklesby Stakes; Mr Saxon's Lady Kepel, by Lord Albemarle out of Miss Julia; and the Rawcliffe filly, Tarletan, by Leamington out of Delaine. Both got off badly, and the former was nearly capsized. DURHAM RACES, 1863.— It will be seen on reference to an adver- tisement in another column that five stakes for Durham Races, held on Easter Monday and Tuesday, will close and name on Tuesday, March 3. The Trial, for all ages, weight for age; the Stand Selling Stakes, for all ages; the Durham Hunters' Stakes, for half bred horses only, that have been regularly hunted with Durham, Bedale, Hurworth, Tynedale, or Morpeth Foxhounds; the Raby Handicap, and City Plate, With the exception of a Selling Stakes, there are only the stakes unclosed. The stallion Turnus died a few days since at Hooton. He was a great race horse at his own distance, but only famous at the stud as the sire of the Oaks winner, Butterfly. Turnus, a son of Taurus, out of Clarissa, by Defence, was bred in Germany by Count Hahn. CHEVALIER D'INDUSTBIE.— Mr Williamson's Sprightly, by Gladiator ( Physician's dam), with a bay colt by King Tom, has arrived at Dean's Hill to be put to this horse, whose subscription is fast filling. STUD PRACTICE. The reunion at Lincoln realised the expectations of the most sanguine lovers of racing, save and except those who backed the favourites. The weather was gloriously fine, the course in mag- nificent order, and the arrangements such as to merit the ap- proval of all concerned. Many visitors arrived by the Tuesday evening trains, and there was a good muster on the course at an early hour on Wednesday morning to see the horses take their gallops. Lopcatcher was one of the first to catch the eye of such as were judges of perfection in condition; his coat shone like satin, and his muscle stood out like layers of iron ; indeed, I may truly say that to his superb form and appearance bookmakers are indebted for some nice little sums that now figure on the right side of their book. Libellous did not arrive until Wednesday, consequently he « id not show until Thursday morning, but Hubert was there, with Honest Tom for a companion, as he walked to and fro on the far side of the course in his clothes, many lingering on the ground in the hope that he, like Lop- catclier, would treat them to a specimen of his action, but, beyond a short spin at less than half speed, he did nothing whereby they could judge of his style of going. He was in very line condition, but all that can be said in his favour now that lie has cut up so badly is that a more racing- looking animal is seldom seen as he stands and walks, but his fine figure is over- balanced on the wrong side by the short and scuffling action he shows when ex- tended in his gallop, his shoulders appearing so locked that his efforts to move his forelegs out of the way of his liind ones dis- tresses him long before he gets to the end of his journey, and, had he displayed this action on Wednesday morning, so that those who were on the course could clearly have seen him, he would not, in my opinion, have reigned as first favourite from that period up to the stare. Fontenoy did a raking gallop, and at first sight looked two big and unprepared, but oa a closer inspection it was found to be the nature of the animal. Comet looked well, and swung round the course in a style that prepossessed many a one in his favour. Shepherdess looked very fit, as did Peignoir, and many others too numerous to enumerate, but nothing was so greatly admired as the rank impostor Lopcatcher. Satellite, with a lad on him, was out too, and shared the attention of the spectators equally with the above- named. He was in first- rate condition, and showed more than ordinary shapes as a fiat racer ; but I am free to state my opinion that he lacks strength of limb for a wear and tear steeple chase horse in deep gronnd. That singular looking, but smart horse at his business, Sinking Fund, was also snuffing the pure morning breeze, with Nightingall on his back. Pine Apple was also on the ground, but he had not near so many admirers as Mary Ann, the neat little Irish mare, who, in company with Conundrum, showed her action in such style that, added to her magnificent condition, made her many friends, but when sad- dling for the steeple chase the following day, her trainer declared his conviction that she had been dosed, and she certainly exhibited every symptom of it, for usually she displays a little " wickedness'' while being saddled, but this time she permitted it without the slightest objec- tion, and when the race was over she was much more distressed than I ever saw her, when, in nothing like the condition, she has performed over a much more severe course, and long after she reached the stable the sweat rolled from her body in streams, and she would have drank gallons upon gallons of water if allowed ; in fact, she had every sign of having been " got at." Punctual as ever to the time appointed, the saddling bell tang its merry tinkle on Wednesday for the opening event oi the legiti- mate season, the Trial Stakes, for which seven faced the starter, Manrico, a good looking four year old son of Tadmor, turning up the winner, to the surprise of the Ring. This colt did so little in his two and three year old engagements that very few were richer for his success, and William Day did riot back him either for this or the Lincoln Handicap. Souveraine, fast re- covering her form after being amiss, was second. The Brocklesby Stakes brought out a more numerous field of two year olds than last year, and for the most part of a fail- quality. Baron Rothschild's filly, Sister to Tomyris, being the first to catch the judge's eye, and although she had the best of a bad start, she was in my opinion both the best shaped and the best goer; Lord Adolphus is a remarkably well- developed and promising colt for the time of year. Diploma, too, looks like growing into something good. Faith is a neat, well furnished filly, as is Starbeam and Lady Mary. La Medora is ragged looking enough, but there is a " varmint'' appearance about her that gives one an idea of speed and bottom, occasionally found in horses whose appearances are no criterion of their na- ture. She is a brown filly, with a ewe neck, a racing look- ing head, and fairish quarters, and though she is backward in growth at present, I expect to see her much improved, and pos- sessed of a fair turn of speed. Lady Nichol is a nice, level made, and good looking filly, not particularly for her size, but for her true shape and promise of speed. For choice, however, I would prefer Faith, who finished behind her ; and although Attraction, a rather small chestnut filly, failed to secure a place, she has remarkably good action, a style of going that will never desert her, but improve as she grows, and the raw- ness gradually leaves her. There was another chesnut filly of some quality, I allude to Lord Stamford's Corsica. The rest were, for the most part, a very moderate lot, but as the season advances, and" with warmer weather, so congenial to the nature and constitution of blood stock, the shaggy csats which many of them wore will be exchanged for the natural summer suit, and their forms become more developed, and I shall then have a better opportunity of judging what both this lot and others coming on for their respective spring and summer engagements are likely to do. The City Handicap was landed by Fontenoy, of whom I have already spoken, but the very elaborate report contained in another column, will fully enlighten the public as to every detail connected with the running in general. Suffice it here to state that Manrico repeated his success, and proved his quality by winning the Lincoln Handicap on the second day, and that the much- vaunted Satellite made a wretched exhibition of himself in the hurdle race, being apparently beaten for speed by Lincoln and Sinking Fund, who, after all, are only second- raters. The Nottingham Meeting stands next on the roll of fixtures for Tuesday and Wednesday, and Derby on Thursday. At the former place an excellent programme has been published. Two new races, the Maccaroni Stakes and the Welter Cup, for hunters, have been added to the usual complement. The Nsttingham Handicap is the chief event of the meeting, upon which there was no specula- tion at Lincoln, and although any attempt to predict the winner might be futile, I may state that I shall not be surprised to see whatever is intended from Cliff's stable turn out the best, and now that Libellous has but little chance with the top weight, from his Lincoln running, Antar or the Mountain Maid filly may land the Innkeepers' Plate, one mile. Nothing looks so well on paper for the Stand Plate as Little Lady, Miss Julia, and Abron, and though Lord Stamford has a fair colt in Ellerton for this distance, Little Lady will, doubtless, be the selected one of the stable. Nosegay or Sinking Fund should win the Hurdle Race, two miles and a half, and Lady Nichol, Faith, or Attraction, the Little John Stakes. The Forest Plate will probably fall to the lot of Mrs Somerville, Antar, or Abron ; and Ottoman or Canteen may win the Hunt Cup, two miles and a half, over hurdles. The running at Derby will depend so much upon the perform- ances of many of the horses engaged at Nottingham, that it would be extremely hazardous to attempt a prophecy. The Staunton Harold Stakes has eight named on the pro- gramme, of which Faith and Lady Mary may turn out the best. The Harrington Plate has nineteen subscribers, of whom four have paid forfeit. These are Libellous, Charles Fox, Mermaid, and Somersault, and the best of the remainder I shall not be sur- prised to see in Stanton, Bedford, or Erin go Bragh. The Hurdle Race has thirty- four engaged, Mermaid having paid forfeit. Cliff has three engaged, the best of whom, I think, is Nosegay, the other two, Satanella and Clontarf, being too green at the business. Lincoln, Emblem, and Sinking Fund will pro- bably be reserved for Liverpool, or they would be dangerous for this event; and for the Midland Steeple Chase, I prefer the chances of Xanthus, Pine Apple, or Nosegay, in the order named. CENTAUR. DEATH OF TURNUS. MR EDITOR: I regret to see the death of Turnus recorded; he was a great favourite of mine, and years since I recommended the late Major Groves to employ him in the royal stud, but he was not a popular stallion, and had no chance of gaining the repu- tation he merited ; perhaps it was to be attributed to the idea that his sire, Taurus, was a confirmed roarer. Now it fell to my lot to know that such was not the case, for although Taurus was a roarer frem an illness he had at two years old, he was perfectly sound in that respect when he was taken out of training. I well recollect when Taurus was the property of the late Duke of Bed- ford, and in the palace stables, Mr W. Edwards told me to back him for a race he was going to run across the flat at Newmarket against a field of good horses, but, with the idea that his roaring would jeopardise his chance, I stood the field, and lost my money, for he won his race in a canter. This induced me to pay some attention to the state of his respiratory organs, and I often had the opportunity of convincing myself that he was no longer a roarer, " by being present at the end of his gallops up the hill at Newmarket The last per- formance of Taurus would prove, also, the fact. He ran with that celebrated mare Camarine over the Beacon Course, and it was a desideratum for a future event to know which was the best at the end of a certain distance, for it was the intention then to enter the two for the Goodwood Cup, and in which the mare would have had to give the horse considerable weight. Conse- quently, Robinson on Camarine was to make the best of his way home," and they came a cracker. At the end of the cer- tain distance Robinson found Wheatley pulling the horse double to keep him back, and although the race ended in favour of the mare, both animals broke down, and never ran again. I liave thought it due to the history of such a horse as Taurus to men- tion these facts, for I believe Taurus was one of the most valuable stallions that ever left this country.— Yours, & c, W. J. G. Hampton Court. STUD NEWS. Sir John Barleycorn is now standing at Belhus, Aveley, near Romford.

MR EDITOR : Since I sent you a letter upon the subject of stud practice I have been asked what course I would pursue to remedy those evils which I alluded to, and which are consequent upon the too frequent use of the thorough bred stallions, and yet ensure the safety of stinting the mares put to them. I am fully aware of all the attending diiiiculties which a stud groom has to encounter in his endeavour to save his horse from over exertion, and yet sa- tisfy the owners, who pay a heavy sum for the covering of their mares. I do not pretend to possess any more knowledge upon these matters than others, who, like myself, have had the opportunity afforded them of making observations from practical experience ; and it is far from my intention to enter into questions of physio- logy with your anonymous correspondents, which would be more in place in the pages of a professional journal than in the columns of your paper. Practical facts I hold to be always instructive and worth recording, but theories and chimeras, so numerous in everything connected with horseflesh, tend to no good, and are equally unprofitable. It often occurs that a popular stallion has to cover, in the short space of the season, so many times that it may be readily ima- gined his powers of performing successfully are rendered exceed- ingly doubtful. Now, taking the number of mares to a horse at fifty, and calculating that in three months, more or less, each mare is on an average covered three times, and which is rather under than over the number, we have a stallion— perhaps an old one, or one known to be slow and wanting in vigour— called upon to cover some hundred and fifty times in about three months ; and although it would not, in some instances, be more work for a stal- lion than he could safely accomplish were he called upon to cover twice in a day for that period, yet, when we know that in the sea- son it often happens that many mares are in use at the same day, it becomes difficult; asd particularly so when mares are covered indiscriminately because they happen to be ready to take the horse— to save the stallion and reconcile the proprietors of mares. The alteration in dating the age of a thorough bred foal from April 1 to Jan 1 has, in my opinion, been productive of mischief rather than good to the cause of breeding; it necessitates mares being covered before the usual season arrives for their taking the horse, and no doubt increases the work of the stallion, and, in my opinion, is unattended with the supposed benefit from having foals as much out of season. If a mare with a foal at. her foot becomes evidently in use, and is fairly covered, without the help of a teazer, by a horse whose vigour is undiminished, the chances are greatly in favour that she is stinted, and although she may take the horse again, for I have known in more instances than one where it has occurred that a mare has even taken the horse but a few days previous to giving birth to a foal, much to the surprise of those who of course thought her previously to be barren. And it is, therefore, that I would impress upon those who are so anxious to have their mares served as often as they are in the humour to take the horse, that they are thereby often fatiguing him, and when wholly unnecessary. With regard to barren mares— and I now allude to those only which have been served perhaps several seasons without breeding ( of course I do not include mares of mature age)— there is a prac- tice which is seldom, if ever, heard of in English studs, and which is really so feasible that I have no hesitation in recommending it to the attention of breeders, viz, the manual examination of the mouth of the womb. We all know that after a difficult birth lacerations and thickening of the parts take place; besides, there are other causes to produce the closing of the orifice of the womb, and nothing can be more easy than the operation of making such an examination as shall give the information re- quired of the state of the parts, nothing more simple and yet efficacious without risk than the dilatation of the parts, if necessary. I know the practise to be employed in the human subject, and that it has often been attended with favourable re- sults, and there is no reason that I can conceive for neglecting a similar operation and examination, if necessary, in the mare.* I believe that mares are more likely to prove good breeders that have never been trained, than those whose energies have been reduced by the process of training. The most successful mare in the Royal Stud, both as to the amount her produce have sold for and their racing performances, is decidedly Eulogy. I bought her in the year 1852, in Doncaster race week, from the stud of the late Mr Stephenson, at 260gs ; she produced Imperieuse in 1854, the winner of the Thousand Guineas and the 8t Leger Stakes, and her yearlings have fetched no less than 3,496gs since she has been in the stud. This mare was covered by Orlando six times, several seasons in succession. Now I must confess that I am not an advocate for covering mares with the same stallion year after year, and for several reasons, one of which is, that we seldom find own brothers and sisters satisfy our hopes, and although there are in- stances where it has proved a success, yet I think the success of the practice must be looked upon as the exception, rather than the rule. We had in former years the Alexander mare, breeding Selim, Rubens, and Castrel, all by Buzzard, and we have Stock- well and Rataplan, in following years, by The Baron out of Poca- hontas ; but I prefer a change every season, often, perhaps, return- ing to a particular horse if the cross should be found to succeed. There can be no doubt upon the subject that in colour the pro- geny of a mare is often influenced by the stallion of the former year; whether it extends to anything else than colour and affects the conformation in any way I do not pretend to say. I well re- member one hot day in the JHly Meeting at Newmarket, years gone by, Lord George Bentinck was accusing our old acquaint- ance, Mr Theobald, who was, as usual, in the blue great coat, lea- ther breeches, and goloshes, of having placed the paternity of a colt upon Laurel instead of Camel. Both horses were at the time in the Stockwell stud, and his lordship would have it that the size, shape, colour, and every particular made it apparent that the colt was by Camel, and certainly the appearances said much for its being so, although I believe Lord George's insinuation was not true ; but I recollect that when I ventured t » ask whether the mare had been covered latterly by Camel, and found it was the case the year previous, and to remark that there was nothing un- common in the occurrence that I came in for a share of his lord- ship's displeasure; and this notwithstanding I related the case, which i3 so well known, of Sir Gore Ousely's mare, still I felt his lordship rather hard in his observations towards Mr Theobald. The history of Sir Gore Ousely's mare cannot be too often kept before us. She was covered by a zebra, and the produce was, as naturally would be expected to be, a mule zebra ; the mare was covered three successive years by three different horses, and every produce was striped like the zebra. That bitches, sows, and other animals give back, as it is called, in breeding is too familiar to re- quire instances of it, and I have observed most- marked instances of the same occurrence in the horse. The paper containing all the facts of the zebra and other animals was communicated by Sir Gore Ousely, and published in the transactions of the Royal So- ciety about 1821 ; the drawings and skins of the animals were in the Royal College of Surgeons. I cannot help thinking that the facts are remarkable, and, although singularly interesting to those who ruminate upon such circumstances, are not very generally known. When the Earl of Albemarle was Master of the Horse, I was travelling with his lordship to Brighton, when on his way to attend His Majesty King William IV. In detailing the curious circumstances connected with the zebra, his lordship was much struck, and at the royal table, after dinner, detailed the subject of our conversation to the King. Sir Charles Mansfield Clarke, the celebrated accoucheur, was present, and in no very measured terms pronounced my facts as being wholly incredible, and, much to the annoyance of my old master, I came in for a share of the ridicule launched at me for stating, and his lordship for be- lieving, such utter nonsense. I was put in possession of all that had occurred early the next day, in time enough to get upon one of the fast coaches, and repair to the College of Surgeons, and copy out the article verbatim, which I as speedily set out with to Brighton, and was fortunate enough to be able to give it to Lord Albemarle as he was about to enter the dining room. The dinner finished, Sir Charles Clarke began to poke his fun at Lord Albemarle, and inquire whether I had furnished him with any more such facts in natural history, and a great deal more, which Lord Albemarle was rather enjoy- ing than otherwise. His lordship quietly took out of his pocket, and to the great amusement of the King, and the consternation of Sir Charles, read the convincing document I had furnished. Sir Charles, however, was not to be abashed, and, upon the King asking what he had to say to the lex scripta. Sir Charles replied, " Well, sir, it puts me in mind of a case which I well recol- lect. A beautiful lady, shortly after the birth of her first boy, lost her husband, and as ladies are apt to get married a second time, so it was with this lady, who got a second husband, and by him a second boy ; and if the first husband had been living, instead of being in his grave, no one could have been brought to believe, such was the striking likeness of the child to him, that the paternity could belong to any one else." The King and the Master of the Horse now turned the tables upon the in- credulous baronet, who got the worst of it at the dinner table at the Pavilion for some time. I am afraid I have allowed myself to wander on, and to send you more to print than others wi ll find profitable to read, but you must take it, as the lawyers say, for quantum, valeat, and believe me, yours, & c, W. J. GOODWIN. Hampton Court, Monday, Feb 23. * To prove the facility of performing such an operation, 1 have sent an anatomical preparation to Messrs Millikin and Lawley, surgical in- strument makers, 161, Strand, where it may be viewed." It shows the parts of generation in the mare, and will be, I believe, found useful and interesting to any one who may take the trouble to examine it, for we always receive the strongest impressions from visible objects, and retain them more forcibly than we can do from written descriptions. This preparation was in the Exhibition, and is from the celebrated collection of Dr Auzoux, in Paris. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1863. MARCH.

Stewards : Earl of Westmorland, Earl de Grey and Ripon, Earl of Coventry, and Henry Chaplin, Esq. Judge and Handicap- per: Mr Richard Johnson, of York. Starter: Mr W. Elliot. In taking the lead of the early meetings, and thereby opening a fresh racing campaign, the " Lincoln Spring'' has but too often met with a severe check and been diverted from its original fix- ture, for postponements from frost have so frequently occurred that the advisability of holding such an early gathering has been more than once seriously called in question. The advantages of getting " first run," however, have on the other hand been so manifest, and so attractive has the " Lincoln Spring " proved to owners of horses and others as a " trial meeting," that it can scarcely excite surprise that, despite all drawbacks and disadvan- tages— amongst others the driving the Queen's Plate, formerly run for in the Spring, into an Autumn Meeting of, at best, negative success— the management has stedfastly held to its purpose, arid through good and bad times steadily retained the lead in the list of racing fixtures for the season. This year, however, thanks to the almost unprecedented open state of the weather, the Lincoln Meeting was— to adopt a descriptive racing phrase- j" scarcely ever in doubt," and on no former occasion did matters promise so well, or the sport open more auspiciously. And here, without diverg- ing from our subject, we may remark, in alluding to the opening meeting, that never before did the season itself com- mence under more promising auspices, a fact that the most casual glance at the various " entries" and " acceptances" will abund- antly testify, and of the National Sport it may be truly and triumphantly said, " I'ircs acquirit eunclo," for of a surety " It gains new strength and vigour as it grows." Throughout Tuesday visitors continued to arrive by every train, despite the counter attraction of Birmingham— from wuence a capitally managed special was expressly chartered at night. Nearly all the hotel accommodation had been previously secured, and numerous were the horses that had arrived to fulfil their respective engagements. By way of prologue to the sport, a couple of matches were set to come off on this, " the day before the meeting,'' as announced by us last week, the first between Cherokee and Magician— both engaged in the steeple chase of the morrow— and the second between Confidence and the first- named mare, Confidence having likewise an engagement in one of the " cross- country events." The horses being well known in the locality, a goodly number of spectators were attracted to the course to witness the sport, to which additional interest was imparted, when it became known that Sam Rogers was to ride in the second match against Mr G. Walker. The first match, for 25 sovs, over a mile, was brought to issue at two o'clock, with the following result:— Mr M. Clarke's Cherokee, lost Mr G. Walker 1 Mr Richardson's Magician, 12st Owner 2 Betting: 2 to 1 on Cherokee, who made play throughout, and won in a canter by ten lengths. After an interval of an hour the second match of 25 sovs, two miles, took place, and the easy victory of the mare in the first spin caused as much as 3 to 1 to be betted on her, notwith- standing Confidence had the assistance of that talented artiste, Sam Rogers. But in this instance the backers of the mare " came to grief," for the contest was thus decided:— Mr Bancroft's Confidence, list S. Rogers 1 Mr M. Clarke's Cherokee, list Mr G. Walker 2 Betting: 3 to 1 on Cherokee, who made the running to the dis- tance, where the non- favourite deprived her of the lead, and won by ten lengths. A glorious morning— more like May than February— ushered in the meeting on Wednesday, and several " stock takers" wit- nessed the horses out during the early hours. The first race was set for two o'clock, and long before that time the ring was nu- merously represented, and not a few of the leading patrons of the Turf were present. Earl de Grey and Ripon, one of the stewards, was unavoidably absent, but Lord Westmorland was at his post, and. tlie Earl and Countess of Yarborough — who are immensely popular in the neighbourhood— were among the fashionables in the Stand. On the strength of a favourable trial, Prologue was elected first favourite for the Trial Stakes, Souveraine, purchased last autumn by " Mr Henry," being next fancied, while Comet was at an indefinite price. Man- rico, who, without doubt, went and looked far better than any of the others, was not over fancied at 5 and 6 to 1, and his previous form was certainly not tempting to backers, for the only feat he ever achieved worth remembering was running a dead heat with Imaus, at Northampton, for the Whittlebury Stakes, as a two year old, on his first appearance in public, but he was beaten easily in the deciding heat, and up to the close of last year never scored a win, and was consequently entitled to the " maiden allow- ance." Without any difficulty, however, he bowled over the half- dozen opposed to him to- day, although Souveraine, who has been somewhat " out of sorts" during the winter, showed that she still retained something at least of the form she displayed last year. The easy victory of Manrico led to his being in- vested on for the Lincolnshire Handicap, and he WPS backed pretty freely at 10 to 1. The City Handicap, for which thirty- six were entered, brought out only nine starters, a circumstance in a great degree attributable to so many of the horses being engaged in the Lincolnshire Handicap on the morrow. The attention of the management having been called to this subject, it is most probable that the Lincolnshire Handicap will next year take the precedence of the " City" one. Of the nine competitors, Fontenoy, who, like Souveraine, was purchased at the sale of the Confederacy's stud last autumn, was instantly " spotted," the only other backed with any degree of spirit being Shepherdess ; the latter, however, appeared outpaced all the way, and the favourite won by an easy two lengths from the moderate Conundrum. No fewer than twenty youngsters made their debut for the Brocklesby Stakes, and William Day's representative was made first favourite; whilst Lord Stamford's filly, Corsica, by Newminster out of Pauline, gradually declined from 5 to 1 to double that price. Lady Nichol was much fancied by her party, and after taking her " preliminary," Sister to Tomyris advanced from 10 to 1 to 8 to 1. At the first- named figure the Epsom filly, Starbeam, who was some time back tried with The Orphan, was frequently invested on, aud she had at least good looks in her fa- vonr. A detailed and more critical notice of the competitors will, however, be found in another column, which renders further re- mark here unnecessary. Just an hour was cut to waste in endea- vouring to get the lot from the post, and innumerable breakings away occurred, in each of which Faith showed so prominently as to sadly put patience to the test. At length, fairly wearied out with the delay, Lord Westmorland galloped down towards the post, but when within a short distance of it, the flag of a sudden fell, and, as stated below, three or four got the best of the start, and Baron Rothschild's filly, who was one of the lot, very cleverly stalled off the efforts of Lady Nichol, and beat her by a length ; half a length between the second and third, and a similar distance between third and fourth. The rest finished in very straggling order. On returning to scale, Reeves, the rider of Star- beam, who was left at the post, made a protest against the validity of the start, on the ground that it took place on the wrong side of the post; but the Stewards, after hearing evi- dence, pronounced it valid. The delay above referred to, as a matter of course, caused much grumbling, and the starter complained bitterly ( though not " formally") of the conduct of certain of the jockeys. It must also be borne in mind that the task of getting off a lot of twenty youngsters, who face a flag for the first time, is no easy one under any circum- stances. Making, however, all due allowance for this, we enter- tain serious fears, from the subsequent displays, that unless some stringent measures are adopted, " starting" will prove as great a nuisance and " spoil sport >' this season as last. To the Brocklesby succeeded the Selling Stakes, and Lord Arthur, whom scarcely any one fancied— least of all his owner- won in such a hollow style as to lead to his being knocked down to Mr Hodgman for 65 guineas, an advance of 35 over his entered price. This affair concluded the day's flat racing, and eight run- ners were, after some little delay, telegraphed to do battle for the Steeple Chase, and we may just note of the absentees that Satellite was reserved for the Hurdle Race on the following day, and that Light of Other Days was detained at Birmingham, much to the chagrin of his party, who could not get the horse conveyed from thence, owing to the railway regulations not permitting any horse boxes by the morning trains, and, despite of all entreaties, the regulation was adhered to. Tde betting was chiefly confined to Mary Ann and Maritana, but the former ran very unlike her " former self," and after the race resolutely refused her corn, and displayed other unfavourable symptoms, whilst Mari- tana was compelled to finish a very indifferent second to Pine Apple, who has certainly much improved under the care of Hadley of Cheltenham, who now occupies the premises formerly rented by Tom Oliver. The wagering on the course, apart from the current events, was almost entirely confined to the Lincolnshire Handicap, for which Hubert was so much in favour that 4 to 1 was taken about him, while two points more were offered against Libellous; 10 to 1 was taken at intervals about Manrico, Lopcatcher, and Peignoir, and a point less about Flash in the Pan; 2,000 to 80 was booked about Carnival for the Derby. Although somewhat cold and cloudy as compared with the former day, the weather on Thursday was again very favourable, and the assemblage quite up to yesterday's average, when the Stand receipts were the largest ever known. The races, in consideration of certain of the visitors who were anxious to catch the first afternoon train to London, commenced an hour earlier than on Wednesday, so that many who came from town arrived too late for the Handicap, which was placed second on the list through many of the same horses being engaged in the Innkeepers' Stakes and the Scurry; the other two items were lumping ones. By a blunder in the card, Leotard was put down for the Scurry instead of the Innkeepers' Stakes, a notice of which, however, was duly given, and in company with five others he went to the post for the last- mentioned race, for which Sanita opened undoubtedly the best favourite, though the money continuing to go on Estrelda, she was, in some books, at all events, as good a favourite as the other. Some delay occurred through the antics indulged in by Leotard, but when once the flag fell, Estrelda came away, won easily, and was bought in for 60 guineas. A field of seventeen were weighed for to contest the Lincolnshire Handicap, and of these no less than three were omitted from the card— Weatherwise, Norman, and Henham Lass — which was accounted for by the anxiety to leave out as many non- starters from the lengthy list as possible. Unluckily, how- ever, sundry non- starters were kept in the card to the exclusion of starters. Hubert, though he ran untried, and his backers were therefore to a certain extent necessarily in the dark about him, advanced to 3 to 1, while Manrico— who was disposed of to Lord Westmorland before the race, although he ran in William Day's colours— Flash in the Pan, and Libellous were at about 8 to 1 each. The victory of Manrico for the Trial Stakes had not, therefore, the same result as in the case of Ducat last year, who was installed the leading favourite for the Lincoln Handicap the following day; for Manrico, after all, was only entrusted by Lord Westmorland for a very moderate amount, as the price he started at will testify, and William Day was not over- sanguine, knowing as he did how moderate were the lot he beat in the Trial Stakes on Wednesday. Of the others that have been from time to time quoted at comparatively short prices, Douche, who had been beaten in her trial, was supported by her owner only to- day for a mere bagatelle, and Revolver was friendless at 100 to 7. The start was a very moderate one, of which Libellous had the best, but he quickly subsided into the ruck, and a long way from home Manrico came on with the race in hand, and added the Handicap to his maiden win of yester- day. Hubert was never in the race, and of the " second best" favourite, Flash in the Pan, contrived to secure the second money. Another tiresome wait occurred for the Sefcirry, which the selected Mrs Somerville landed without the slightest difficulty. The Hurdle Race was naturally looked forward to with more than ordinary interest, on account of Satellite, the leading favourite for the Liverpool 8teeple Chase, being a performer therein. Five met to oppose him, and, although the betting opened with slight odds en him, it closed at similar odds against him. The knowing ones put a good deal of money on the American- bred Lincoln, who justified their confidence by winning easily. Satellite, about whom opinions were afterwards divided, many averring that the running was too bad to be true, cut up wretchedly. As little as 10 to 1 was taken immediately after the race about Lincoln for the Liverpool Steeple Chase, while more than double those odds were offered against the quondam favourite Satellite. The Hunt Steeple Chase was carried off by Victress, a mare by Augur, who jumped admirably, and won by two lengths from the favourite, Rook the Gardener, who changed hands the previous night for 300 sovs. This cross- country event brought an excellent meeting to a close. WEDNESDAY, FEB 25.— The TBIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 25 added; three year olds 7st 31b, four 8st 101b, five 9st 51b, six and aged 9st 101b; mares and geldings allowed 31b, and maiden three year olds at the time of starting allowed 41b, four and upwards 71b; winners extra; the second saved his stake; one mile; 10 subs.

Hardcastle 7 Betting: 3 to 1 agst Prologue, 4 to 1 agst Souveraine, 5 to 1 agst Manrico, and 6 to 1 agst the Dinah filly. At the first attempt they got well off, Souveraine making play for about seventy yards, when Comet rushed to the front, the next in attendance being Prologue, the Dinah filly, and Manrico; Alcibiades and Souveraine bringing up the rear. In this order they ran until about three furlongs from home, when Manrico, full of running, was let out, and im- mediately obtaining the lead, was never again headed, and wor easily by two lengths ; six lengths between the second and third, bad fourth; Alcibiades was close up with the latter; Ripley, beaten off a long way, was last. The pace was good throughout. The CITY HANDICAP of 3 sovs each, with 40 added; winners extra; the second saved his stake; one mile and a quarter; 36 subs. Mr E. T.

Hilly Grove got away first to rather a bad start, Fontenoy lying second and Satanella third, and about two lengths from the latter Real Jam, Conundrum, and the Dinah filly were running abreast, Shepherdess— who got off last— being many lengths in the rear. In the order named they ran to about three furlongs from home, when Fontenoy headed Hilly Grove, who directly afterwards retired to the rear beaten, and Conundrum thereon took second place, with Real Jam third. At the distance Fontenoy held a commanding lead, was never afterwards approached, and won easily by two lengths; Real Jam was a bad third.

After a great many false starts, occupying just one hour, the flag at length was lowered. Faith, Sister to Tomy- ris, Lady Nichol, Corsica, and the Merry Sunshine filly imme- diately showed in front., and ran as nearly as possible abreast; Lord Adolphus was next, about three lengths off, nothing else within three lengths of him. When about two hundred yards had been traversed, the Tomyris filly obtained a slight lead, and near the distance Corsica retired beaten, and Lady Nichol, who had been pulling double, reached the quarter of the Baron's filly, but failed to get in advance, and the former won a good race by a length ; half a length between the second, third, and fourth; Merry Sunshine filly was fifth, Vates sixth, Tarlatan seventh, Hazard and Diploma the two next. Attraction, Hampshire Miss, Lady Keppei, and the Alicia filly were the last lot. Tarlatan blundered at starting, and nearly knocked down Lady Keppei, who took no part in the race ; and Starbeam, who was left at the post, walked home.

Hilly Grove, Court Martial, and Cronstadt ran nearly abreast for about half a mile, when the latter gave way, and at the turn Court Martial took a slight lead. At the distance Lord Arthur, who had been lying off, came up OH the inside, obtained a clear lead half way up, and ran home an easy winner by six lengths; a length separated the second and third, and a head the third and fourth; Cronstadt a beaten off fifth. The winner was sold to Mr Hodgman for 65gs.

Nightingall 0 Betting: 9 to 4 agst Mary Ann, 5 to 2 agst Maritana, and 6 to 1 agst Pine Apple. As soon as the lot were fairly under weigh Multum in Parvo showed in advance, followed by Magician, Dis- crepancy, Countess, Pine Apple, and Mary Ann, the others close together as they cleared the artificial water jump opposite the Stand. Scarcely any change, or none worth noting, occurred until they again neared the water jump, which Magician cleared some two or three lengths in advance of Multum in Parvo, to whom succeeded Pine Apple, Discrepancy, and Mary Ann— the latter pair side by side— then came Countess, Cantine, and Mari- tana. Thus they proceeded up the hill and crossed the road, and on entering the enclosures Pine Apple passed his horses and took a decided lead, waited upon by Magician, Mary Ann at the same time going on third and Maritana fourth. Pine Apple increased his lead along the Mil side, the others, headed by Magician, still keeping tolerably close together. Descending the hill towards the starting field Pine Apple's lead was gradually diminished by Magician drawing upon him, and the pair were on almost even terms on reaching the jump into the ploughed land. This obstacle was safely surmounted by Pine Apple, but Magician, who " took off" rather too soon, caught the top binder with his near fore- leg, fell, and unseated his rider, who was somewhat shaken. Magician was speedily on his legs again, and ran on in com- pany with Pine Apple— so closely, indeed, that Knott had some difficulty in keeping his horse clear of him. Nothing else, how- ever, gave him any trouble, and holding his advantage to the end, he passed the post ten lengths in advance of Maritana, who took second place on the downfal of Magician; Canteen finished about two lengths behind the latter, and Mary Ann who appeared out- paced all the way, was close up with the third, as were also Countess and Multum in Parvo; Discrepancy, who broke down badly, walked in a long way astern.

Estrelda made play at a good pace with Sanita and Leotard close up; at the distance Hazard joined the latter two, but neither was able to get up, and Estrelda retained the lead throughout, and won easily by four lengths; two lengths between the second and third ; same distance between the third and fourth ; bad fifth.

After three false starts they got off in very straggling order, Flash in the Pan and Honest Tom being many lengths in the rear. Libellous made play, with Manrico, Revolver, Douche, Rapture, and Weatherwise in close attendance, and a length from these was a lot in a cluster. In the order named the front lot ran for about half a mile, when Libellous retired beaten, and Manrico immediately rushed to the front, pulling double, while Flash in the Pan began to gain ground very fast, and Peignoir also began to draw towards the front. At the distance, Manrico, who had made the pace rather hot, had the lot safe, for the majority showed symptoms of distress ; and without being headed in the last half mile, won in a canter by a length and a half; four lengths between the second and third ; very bad fourth ; Lopcatcher was fifth ; Weatherwise sixth; Revolver seventh; Drumstick eighth, and the favourite ninth. Honest Tom. Comet, Norman, and Henham Lass brought up the rear. Libellous, who did not pass the post, walked in. The pace was remarkably good throughout, having been run in lmin 53sec.

After a lengthened delay at the post Confusion got off in front, waited upon by Mrs Somerville to the distance, when the latter came out and won easily by a length ; half a length between the second and third, same distance between the third and fourth. The others scattered. The HANDICAP HUBDLE RACE of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 25 added; the second saved his stake; winners extra ; two miles, over six flights of hurdles; 31 subs.

Lincoln jumped away with a slight lead, with Sinking Fund and the favourite close up, Pot Pourri next. In the order named they ran about a quarter of a mile, when Sinking Fund took up the running, but Lincoln stuck close to his quarters, and Satellite still continued third, to all appearance with the steam up to full power, Pot Pourri fourth. These positions were not changed until they had run a mile and a half, when Lincoln challenged Sinking Fund and deprived him of the lead, while Satellite, who appeared to tire, dropped into fourth place. Just below the distance Knott took a pull at his horse, which allowed Sinking Fund to get close up to him, but he again quickly sent Lincoln out, and the race was never afterwards in doubt, for the latter con- tinued the lead, and won easily by three quarters of a length; six lengths between the second and third; bad fourth. Satellite was full two hundred yards in the rear when the winner passed the post, with Furious just behind him. The pace was good throughout.

The whole lot took the first fence hurdles and the water jump in front of the Stand in capital style. Entering the inclo- sure, Miss Joj- ce was headed by Confidence, who carried on the running at a strong pace, the others continuing on in Indian file, taking their fences remarkably well, " bar" Fanny, who came down a cropper, and got away from her rider, who, not in the least hurt, caught her again, and remounted. Finding his chance out, however, he walked her back. Upon reaching the meadow before the plough, Miss Joyce deprived Confidence of the lead, and the favourite, who had been lying much out of the ground^ began to draw towards the front, Tarquiu going on in the wai^ of Confidence, who soon afterwards refused several times at a bank and hedge, and was out of the race. Victress, on entering the course, came along with a desperate rush, and got among ; her opponents at the first flight of hurdles on the course, which M! iss Joyce struck, and nearly came to grief, and Rook the Gardener now obtained a slight lead. Victress, however, full of running, was now " sent out," and won easily by two lengths; three lengths between the second and third ; Miss Joyce a bad fourth ; the others beaten off. LATEST BETTING.

Sheldon, jun. Differences of opinion as to the propriety of holding these chases a month earlier than usual seem to have merged into a pretty general conclusion that the early bird, after all, was the real trump card. Failure, in the absence since Christmas of win- terly weather, was next to impossible, when it is remembered that, in practice, hunting men, so well represented at this meeting, had for some time enjoyed ad libitum swing. Straightforward management, moreover, has gained for the events in question an amount of favour certain to ensure success. The opening, too, of the railway to Sutton Coldfield, where the chases have been run for several years, afforded additional facilities, though not without some unavoidable delays and unpleasantness, the transit to and fro of 20,000 " Brums" being unattended by accident of any kind, as were the proceedings at the scene of action, where order was maintained throughout, notwith- standing something approaching 30,000 spectators congregated on Monday. Hundreds of gaily- occupied vehicles also enli- vened the picture, as seen from the busily tilled Ring and model Stand. Inns were thronged, and stalls at a premium — advantages which the occasionally apathetic Suttonites, it is said, do not rightly appreciate. A thorough inspection and rebuilding of the fences supplied lots of steadying work for the jumpers, and quite changed the former easy character of the oountry, the going over which was sound and dry; while the skies, in happy contrast to previous anniversaries, were likewise propitious. Business on Monday commenced somewhat tamely with the Erdington Plate, in which old Xanthus, with slight odds on him, scored a win at last. The Hunt Cup attracted eleven run- ners, of whom Joe Maley was at first in force, but the money going on Tippler, sent him at once to the top of the tree, he having moreover the assistance of a talented rider, whose long connection - with the pigskin ceased herewith under matrimonial orders. Want of condition, however, told on the French- bred horse at the finish, while others, apparently with a chance, cutting it about the same time, reduced the affair to a mere canter for the quon- dam favourite, Joe Maley, who, though a bit of a rogue some- times, ran a game animal to- day, in the able hands of Mr C. Arden. The Sutton Chase proving a good thing for Deceiver, • was followed by another large field sporting silk for the Hunters' Stakes, a goad deal of time, as usual, being lost in preparing for the fray, and among other makeshifts for weights, two or three riders carried tolerably- sized pebbles in their pockets. The race, as will be seen, was no less amusing than the preliminaries, though astonishment succeeded fun at the easy triumph of a screw called Jerry, who, some folks would have it, had not only been *' cabbing'' it recently, but, worse than that, only a fortnight before had in reality been drawing manure on his owner's farm in the neighbourhood of Uttoxeter! The paucity, so far, of competition for the open events created anything but favourable anticipations of the morrow, until matters brightened by several fresh arrivals in the evening, including Emblem and Northern Light. Thus, on Tuesday, a decided improvement was shown in the sport, especially that emanating from the class above referred to. Unfortunately, however, for Mytton, who fenced well and came in first for the Scurry Handicap, an objec- tion, as noticed elsewhere, lost him the race, which, conse- quently, went to the redoubtable Jerry, not backed for a six- pence, and whose pilot just contrived to stall off the desperate rush of Orkousta in order to have the first claim. Of the seven next weighing out for the Grand Annual, Emblem and Heads or Tails were made equal favourites at 3 to 1, though at the close her admirers took 5 to 2 about the former. Having been some time under Weaver's care, it is right to mention that no mare could have been sent to the post more fit and blooming than Emblem, who won all the way, and slipped the lot at last, having, by subsequent admeasurement, cleared over twelve yards at the second fence— a drop— which seriously damaged the pre- tensions of more than one performer during the meeting. Heads or Tails, also looking well, ran an unaccountable brute, and could be got no further than the fifth jump; the others, as we have hinted, being unable to live the pace directly the light- weight put on the steam. With respect to Joe Maley, " lent," it was said, for the day, we may ex- plain that, while the horse carried 91b penalty, his rider took the 51b allowance for having never steered a handicap winner. The principal chase over, 20 to 1 was taken about Emblem for the Liverpool, and 25 to 1 against Northern Light, the only other transaction being 100 to 6 taken about The Orphan. The Licensed Victuallers' Plate brought out the some- time expected Light of Other Days, upon whom there was an immediate rush, though Deceiver was by no means friendless. Five others stripped, but had nothing to do with the issue, seeing that the pair came home locked together, and Deceiver, running a trifle the longest, upset the " pot" by a head. By an extraordinary chapter of accidents, the Welter Cup fell to the lot of the rightly- named Forlorn Hope, at one time far out of the race, and which must have gone to Ireley by a couple of fields but for running on the wrong side of a flag. The Cup, or Vase, of chaste design in silver, standing 27 inches high, was manufactured by Tongue and Son of Birming- ham, the base and handles being ornamented with lions, and pre- senting on the whole an exceedingly pretty sideboard adorn- ment. By the adoption of the new rules, Mr Sheldon gave general satisfaction, and, in return for this and other exertions, received the patronage and presence of a large body of the local and military gentry, as well as the attendance of most of the leading professionals, through whose representations the Midland Company put on a special train to Lincoln on Tuesday evening, thus putting a business- like termination to the Sutton gathering, the stewardship of which has been accepted by Lord Coventry next year. MONDAY, FEB 2.3.— The EHDINGTON HANDICAP PLATE of 3 sovs each, with 20 added ; winners 71b extra ; two miles and a half. Capt Bathurst's Xanthus, by Joe Lovell, aged, lOst 81b G. Holman 1 Mr 0. Lowe's Annie Laurie, aged, 9st 121b A. Sadler 2 Mr E. Green's Mutineer, aged, lOst 71b C. Boyce 0 Betting: 5 to 4 on Xanthus, 7 to 4 agst Mutineer, and 4 to 1 agst Annie Laurie. They ran together to the first fence, which Mutineer rushed through rather than jumped, and then, seeing Xanthus decline the second leap, whipped round also, with a settled determination to have no more on't. Xanthus, on the contrary, was persuaded, with trifling delay, and followed Annie Laurie ( with a commanding lead) to the Park, where, tiring, the latter resigned to the namesake of Achilles's talking horse, whom, however, by a game effort, the mare nearly reached, two fences from home, but landed on her head, and rolled over, dead beaten, whereby Xanthus cantered in alone; Annie Laurie, re- mounted, also passed the judge. The HUNT CUP of 50 sovs, in specie, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for horses that have been regularly hunted, & c ; 12st each, with penalties and allowances ; gentlemen riders ; those who have ridden winners 51b, professionals 71b extra ; three miles; 14 subs.

Land, jun Baron de la Mott's Tippler, i2st Mr Thomas 0 Betting opened at 3 to 1 agst Joe Maley, but closed at 5 to 2 agst Tippler, 4 to 1 agst Joe Maley, and 6 to 1 each agst Mytton and Sunflower. Commencing at the hill top on the left, con- tiguous to the Sutton- road, the lot charged in a cluster the posts and rails in the dip below, after which the forward division com- prised Sunflower, Warwickshire Crab, Joe Maley, and the favourite. Over two or three fences the rest were well in their wake, with the exception of Mytton, whose blundering placed him early at the tail of the ruck, and Canteen, whose refusals and unshipment of rider put him clean out of the race ere it had well begun. At the fourth fence, too, Worcester shut up with an ugly tumble, while Sunflower, going on with the running, was fol- lowed through the park by Tippler and Mr Coburn's horse, a clear interval thence separating them and the main body, of whom Luff pitched heels over head at the drop fence shortly before gaining the Stand enclosure, and came no further. Entering the latter, Tippler went up to Sunflower, and raced with her for the lead to the made jump completing the first round, which was no sooner crossed than the favourite assumed the command, Joe Maley lying third, three or four lengths from the pair. Tommy next, twice as far from him, succeeded by Ireley, Warwickshire Crab, and Mytton side by side, whipped in by Bird of Prey, who soon afterwards was joined by the Crab, both beaten. In the ensuing quarter of a mile Sunflower, gradually closing accounts, got rid of her jockey, and went on without him, leaving Joe Maley in ad- vance, who, after the retirement of the favourite in the park, had Ireley and Mytton in immediate attendance, Tommy, till now lying pretty handy, having tired to nothing. At the last fence but two, Mytton likewise extinguished any chance left in him, by rising out of distance, and so again dropped on his napper, Joe meanwhile stealing ahead and winning by ten lengths Ireley, persevering to the end, beat Mytton for second by a neck; Tippier, cantered in fourth, Bird of Prey next, Tommy last, but only those placed went by the chair. The SUTTON HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE of 5 sovs each, with 30 added; winners 71b extra ; the winner to be sold for 50 sovs ; about two miles and a half. Mr B. Land's b g Deceiver, by Faugh a Ballagh, aged, lOst 121b ... B. Land, jun 1 Mr Copson'a br m Wilful, aged, 9st 101b Knott 2 Mr M'Adam's Chastisement, 6 yrs, 9st 101b.... G. Waddington 3 Mr Wright's Orkousta, aged, lOst Kendall 0 Betting: 5 to 4 on Deceiver, 5 to 2 agst Orkousta, and 4 to 1 agst " Wilful. Orkousta stopping at the first fence, left Wilful in advance for half a mile, when the favourite took up the running, with the mare in attendance to the far side the last time. Thence Wilful once more took the lead, and Deceiver, dropping behind Chastise- ment, occupied the rear, Thus the trio travelled on in tolerable close company to rather more than a quarter of a mile from the finish, when the favourite collared Wilful, and the pair cleared the last fence side by side. The " tug of war" was, however, soon over, seeing that Deceiver had his opponent safe in a few strides, and won, looking on, by half a length; Chastisement a wretched third. The winner was bought in for 58gs. The HUNTEES' STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 25 added ; four year olds list 31b, five 12st, six and aged 12st 71b ; winners extra ; gentlemen riders ; three miles ; 14 subs.

Pears Betting: 7 to 2 agst Killarney, 4 to 1 agst The Orphan, t agst Pantomime, 7 to 1 agst It's All Over, and 8 to 1 agst Fanny Brown, who rushed off at score, but dwelling at the opening leap, occasioned no little confusion amongst her immediate successors, of whom The Despised next led the van, but only to the leap beyond, where he whipped round, and The Orphan took up the running. Thence the lead alternated between the latter and Killarney, followed by Jerry, who attracted attention by taking a line to himself on the right in approaching the leap from the plough, whence he travelled in the wake of Fanny Brown and 0 o o o o o to 1 Pantomime, lying respectively third and fourth, Antler sixth, It's All Over and The Despised next. In this order they streamed to the Stand meadow the first time, just before reaching which Jerry took his coleurs to the fore, with Killarney at his quarters. A wide gap divided them and Antler, third, after quitting the principal inclosure, Pantomime, The Orphan, It's All Over and Fanny Brown succeeding him. The lot last- mentioned were « oon afterwards joined by The Despised, who, however, cut short his pilot's expectations by overjumping in the park, thereby coming to grief a " crusher." From this point nothing was virtually in the race save Jerry and Killarney, the former going so free and well that it was guineas to farthings on him a few fences from home, when the jockey, who had been on and off, like an " intrepid" in the circus arena, again came fairly on his side, and let up Killarney. In a few yards, however, Mr Miles recovered his seat, and, holding his own to the end, won in a canter by six lengths. Killarney being pulled up, enabled It's All Over to ob- tain the barren honour of second, Antler, nicely ridden, but out- paced, a moderate fourth; Pantomime cantered in fifth, while Fanny Brown and The Orphan walked in next. Of the others Lday Lovell and the scion of Orlando at no time showed in the race, any chance in which as related to Never Mind was " mulled" by the saddle coming off when the journey had been half accomplished. TUESDAY.— The SCURRY HANDICAP PLATE of 25 sovs; two miles. Mr Hall's Jerry ( pedigree unknown), lOst 71b Mr Miles 1 Mr Wright's Orkousta, lost 51b Kendall 2 Mr Francis's Corkscrew, lost 21b Mr Wood 0 Mr B. Land's Luff, 9st 71b A. Sadler 0 Mr J. Ashwood's gr g Mytton, 9st 121b ( car 9st 131b).. Childs dis Betting: 6 to 4 agst Orkousta, 3 to 1 agst Mytton, and 4 to 1 agst Corkscrew. Mytton cut out most of the work, waited on by Orkousta for a mile, when Jerry became second, but dropped be- hind in the plough en route to the park, after leaving which he again drew up to the grey. When over the last fence the favourite joined issue with the pair, the result of a rattling set- to being that Jerry, never quite getting up, was defeated by half a length, beating the mare by the same. Corkscrew fell in the concluding half mile; while Luff, repeatedly declining, was a long way last throughout. An objection to Mytton for taking the wrong side of a flag was sustained, and the Plate was awarded to Jerry. The BIRMINGHAM GRAND ANNUAL CHASE of 10 sovs each, h ft, and 3 if declared, with 100 added ; winners extra, & c; about three miles and a half ; 25 subs, 8 of whom declared. Lord Coventrv's Emblem, by Teddington, aged, lost31b ... G. Stevens 1 Mr W. J. Milward, jun's Joe Maley, 6 yrs, list 131b ( including 91b extra) Mr James 2 Mr Robert's Marit ana, aged, 12st 31b J.

Knott 0 Mr Handley'a Doubtful, aged, lOst 131b . C. Boyce 0 Betting: 5 to 2 agst Emblem, 7 to 2 agst Heads or Tails, 5 to 1 each agst Doubtful and Northern Light, and 7 to 1 agst The Dane. The lead was taken by Doubtful directly the word was given, who, after jumping the first fence, ran out to the left, his rider evidently mistaking the line, but wasspeedily righted and shewed the way over the drop fence beyond. He was succeeded by Joe Maley and Emblem, the latter clearing it with a tremendous bound, measuring 3t5ft 3in! After them came The Dane, Heads or Tails, and Northern Light, the top weight lying off in the rear. These positions were maintained for half a mile, when a number of refusals left Heads or Tails a long way last of everything; in fact, the mare, contrary to precedent, declined to jump at all, and so returned to the enclosure. Through the next plough Doubtful was eight or ten lengths in advance, but at the termination of the first round had barely half that advantage over Joe Maley, the favourite, previously lying second, having been judiciously pulled back in breasting the ascent at the Stand. Here The Dane and the grey were also tolerably well up, whipped in by Maritana, to the far side, where Doubtful disappeared from the front, and Joe took up the running. From this point pretty close order was pre- served by his followers to the fifth fence from home, where Em- blem shot to the fore, and coming right away, won by ten lengths. The Dane, having wrenched a plate, was eased soon after entering the winning meadow, whereby Joe Maley finished second, two lengths over Maritana, third, Capt Christie's horse also passing the post as far from her; Doubtful and Northern Light next walk- ing in. The LICENSED VICTUALLERS' PLATE of 5 sovs each, with 30 ad- ded ; winners 71b extra; two miles and a half. Mr B. Land's Deceiver, by Faugh a Ballagh, aged, list 41b ( including 71b extra) B.

Sunflower made play, with the fa- vourite, Mytton, and Deceiver next abreast, succeeded by Wor- cester at wide intervals, through refusing. Buzzard as bad, fol- lowing him, and shutting up in toto soon afterwards, while Xanthus, pulling on the wrong side of a ilag'directly they were despatched, was stopped then and there, and returned to the pad- dock. The indicated positions of the forward horses were un- changed until in the last mile, when Sunflower shot her bolt, and the command was taken by Deceiver, who, in racing for the final jump, was caught by the favourite, both being in the air together. One of the finest struggles ever witnessed then ensued, the upshot being that after running locked together all the way home De- ceiver obtained a shade the best of it in the last stride, and won on the post by a head, Mytton finishing six lengths from the second. The HUNTERS' WELTER CUP, value 100 sovs, by subscription of 10 sovs each, 5 ft, the surplus to be paid to the winner, for horses that have never won 50 sovs at any one time, either on the flat or across the country; 13st each ; gentlemen riders, those who have ridden the winner of any handicap chase 71b extra ; three miles; II subs.

The Lady of La Garaye took the command, waited on by Windsor and Panto- mime to the fence into the plough, where the latter dropped on his head, and both stirrup irons snapping through the concussion ended Pantomime's part in the play. Thence The Lady had lengths the best of it to the park, where something cannoned with Windsor and knocked him out of the race, Ireley then going on second, with Forlorn Hope struggling on half a distance in his wake, Windsor still in pursuit, but full a quarter of a mile from them. About two miles were traversed in this order, after which, on the retirement of The Lady, Ireley carried on the running to the park the last time, where his rider, with a strong lead, dis- covered that he had taken the wrong side of a flag. Returning, therefore, to rectify the error, he let up Forlorn Hope, who, on the downfall of Mr Park's mare at the top of the hill, came on by himself, and finished at least one hundred yards before Ireley, while the favourite trotted in third; The Leveret having refused early. M0RET0N- IN- MARSH STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards: The Earl of Coventry, Sir C. R. Rushout, Bart, and Capt Peach. Sec and Starter: Mr R. Fox. Judge: J. Hill. THURSDAY, FEB 26.— The non- filling of one stake, and less than the stipulated number to make a race entering for another, was certainly anything but complimentary to Sir Charles Rush- out, who revived this old Gloucestershire meeting last year. How this could have happened in the heart of a hunting country, with chases confined to hunters and farmers' horses, we must leave others to explain ; though, fortunately for gentlemen who, jour- neying from afar, hoping for better things, two post entry affairs eked out a tolerably fair afternoon's diversion. The odds betted on Sunbeam for the Open Chase were upset by the mare herself slipping up while in handy waiting on her brace of opponents, so that Tupsley, with nearly two stone in hand, had no difficulty in disposing of the somewhat fancied and good- looking Bounce. Owing to an early scrimmage, only three out of eight runners were left with the ghost of a chance for the United Hunters' Chase after the first mile, and of these Unprotected Female ( about to become food for the hounds twelve months ago) proved the winner, thanks to remaining gameness, the existence of which scarcely anyone dreamt of, and the clever riding of Mr Gough, who was loudly cheered. An equally merry spin with nine entered on the ground for a cup resulted in the triumph of Cock Robin, and afforded the inhabitants an opportunity of testifying their glorification at the success of their kind neighbour" the " life and soul" of the meeting. The indefatigable secretary, Mr. Fox, pleased everybody with his arrangements; but, in respect to order, was not sufficiently aided to prevent the reckless riding over the fences and amongst the crowd of a body of horsemen, old enough to know better. So, like other people, consulting safety, we took our departure just as a Scurry was being got up, and which, we were subsequently informed, was won in a walk by Mr T. Cook's Beckford Lass, owner up, beating Mike, Wellington, and The Spotted Arabian. The OPEN STEEPLE CHASE of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for four year olds and upwards; certain penalties and allowances; about four miles ; 3 subs. Mr R. Meeklan's b g Tupsley, by Tupsley, list 41b Lovesey 1 Mr Duffield's b g Bounce, 13st ( carried 13at 21b) Owner 2 Mr R. Holman's b m Sunbeam, 12st 101b G. Holman 0 Betting : 2 to 1 on 8unbeam, 3 to 1 agst Bounce, and 4 to 1 agst Tupsley. Slow running was made by Sunbeam, until at about the fourth jump it was taken up by Bounce, eight lengths from whom Tupsley went on second, the favourite as far in the rear. More than three miles had been traversed in this order, when Tupsley closed up with the leader to the fence before coming to the road for the last time, at which Sunbeam, also drawing for- ward, slipped on landing, and though remounted never got near afterwards. The forward pair meanwhile made a game fight, and jumped side by side the brook into the straight, but the weight soon telling on Bounce, enabled Tupsley to go in an easy winner by ten lengths. The UNITED HUNT STEEPLE CHASE of 5 sovs each, with 20 added, for four year olds and upwards, & c; the second saved his stake; about three miles; 8 subs.

Rushout's ch g Cock Robin, 12st Mr Cooke 0 Mr Smith'sb g Perfect Cure, aged, 12st Owner 0 Betting: 5 to 2 agst Red Indian, and 4 to 1 each agst High Pressure and Unprotected Female. After cantering for nearly a quarter of a mile in straggling order, the lot drew into something like position, Cock Robin and Dauntless, abreast, then showing in advance. At their heels lay Red Indian and Antler, also coupled; High Pressure, Irish Maid, and the grey at a moderate interval from them; Perfect Cure a long way last. In this way they ran to the brook after leaving the turn- pike- road, which Dauntless declined, and, whipping round, threw out the whole field, with the exception of High Pressure and the Unprotected Female. Irish Maid followed " with little delay; this trio, ere anything else was again in play, being more than a distance ahead. Thus matters proceeded for three quarters of a mile, when Cock Robin, at the head of the rear division, cut it by swerving and coming heavily to grief at the return road crossing, leaving Red Indian, Perfect Cure, and Antler to con- tinue the now juite hopeless stern pursuit of the forward horses. Of these, in commencing the second round, High Pressure had a good lead of Irish Maid, with the grey close in her wake, until the Maid died away in the concluding half mile, and Unprotected Female became the immediate attendant of High Pressure. An exciting race ensued over the last three fences, the result being that the grey stole gradually on the leader at every stride to within fifty yards of the chair, when she shot to the fore, and, by downright gameness, won by a length. Irish Maid finished a bad third, and Antler, havingrefused several times, cantered in fourth; the rest having been stopped. The FARMERS' and TRADESMEN'S RACE OUP, value 20 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes ef 1 sov each ; half the entry to go to the second, and the other to the fund; list 71b each; three Sir C. R.

High Pressure, followed by Antler, May Queen, and Red Indian, cut out the work for a mile and a half, when a little blundering at a brook let May Queen in front with a strong lead, of which, however, she was deprived at the straight by Cock Robin, who won cleverly by a length, Lady Bird being a bad third, Perfect Cure fourth, Red Indian next. SUFFOLK.— It is proposed to hold a steeple chase meeting again this spring at Bramford, near Ipswich. DEATH OF TOM RANDOM.— This horse died at the Queen's Livery Stables, Upper Norwood, Surrey, on the 29th, January, of inflammation and congestion of the lungs, brought on from tra- velling by railway out of Staffordshire to town. He was the win- ner of many steeple chases, including the Hunt Cup at Birming- ham, 1862, and the Worcestershire Hunt Cup at Growle, 1862. DEATH OF SAPPERTON.— Mr Arthur Yates' ® very clever horse Sapperton died on Saturday, Feb 21, from lockjaw, brought on by injuries he received in running in the Reading Steeple Chases the previous week. We believe he was bid 400gs for him after the races. PROGRAMME OF BRACKLEY UNION HUNT STEEPLE CHASES. To start at two o'clock.

I am extremely obliged for your report, excepting the above error.— Yours, & c, W. D UFTON. MATCH FOR £ 25 A SIDE.— A very exciting match took place at Mr Fidler's room, on Friday, Feb 20, between Mr J. Knight of Newbury and Mr Free of Hungerford. The match was for £ 50, 500 up. Mr Knight was at one time ef the game 73 ahead ; ulti- mately it stood 400 all, Mr Free winning by 15 points. There was a large company to witness the match of the principal gentlemen and tradesmen of the town. Billiards is the most beautiful and scientific of all in- door games, and universally played. Those gentlemen who wish to learn or improve their game should get a few lessons from Mr W. White, the author of White on Billiards, at the New Opera Bil- liard- rooms, Bow- street, Covent garden. Terms very moderate. His system of tuition is exclusively his own, and based on princi- ples which ensure success. A match of 1,000 up, for £ 25 a side, will take place on Monday, March 2, at the Eyre Arms, St John's Wood, between Mr W. Duf- ton, the late winner of the Cup at Saville House, and Mr G.

WRESTLING— CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND SOCIETY. At a numerous meeting, held at the Guildhall Shades, on Tuesday night, Feb 24, Mr Bell in the chair, it was announced that the committee had decided to hold their usual annual meet- ing at Hornsey Wood House on Friday, April 3, and that the han some amount of £ 120 would be given away in prizes for wre tling, high pole leaping, & c. This, the largest sum that has ever been given in London to be competed for in one day, it is confidently anticipated will induce several of the most celebrated wrestlers in the North to come and try their prowess in the Lon- don Ring, and be in its way a treat such as the admirers of athletic sports never before had an opportunity of witnessing beyond the borders of the two counties. The worthy hostess, Mrs Stones ( widow of the late Mr Stones), will, doubtless, exert her- self to the utmost to give satisfaction to the numerous visitors on that occasion. Particulars as to the wrestling prizes for competi- tion will be duly announced. Next meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 3, at Mr J. Richardson's, Queen's Head, Sher- rard- street, Golden- square, at eight p. m. The committee of the Cornwall and Devonshire Wrestling So- ciety beg to announce to the nobility, gentry, and the public that they have made arrangements with Mr Baum, of the White Lion, Victoria Park station.

After a taste of Norfolk, and a turn or two with his own harriers, his Royal Highnesa the Prince of Wales has gone on to prove his prowess as a sportsman over the more classic pastures of North- amptonshire. It was known that towards the end of last week the prince would be Lord Spencer's guest at Althorp, and in fact his royal highness proceeded, in company with his host, to the famous Crick Meet on the Saturday, when they had a good hour " to ground " at Hern pstow, over one of the finest countries in the world. The show day, however, was on the Monday, when the hounds were atHoldenby, better known as " Holmby House," in Whyte Melville's story of the Cavaliers and Roundheads. The attendance here to greet the prince was immense, the number of horsemen being set at over two thousand, and the scene altogether very brilliant and imposing. The talented historian, or very genius of the plaoe, Mr Melville, was of course in the ranks of the regulars, as a resident in Northamptonshire; while Lord Eglinton from the Ayrshire, Lord Grosvenor from the Cheshire, Sir John Jonnstone from Yorkshire, Lord Bess- borough, as the Master of the Buckhounds, and Lord Naas from Ireland, were amongst the M. F. H. who came to see how admirably Lord Spencer can command a crowd, and how firm he is in his resolve that his hounds shall have fair play. The im- provement, in fact, observable in the Pytchley during the time Lord Spencer has had them has become very noticeable. Thehounds are much steadier to their game, and will uow hunt as well as fly. All this must have been a great treat to the Prince, who won the hearts of all by the way in which he went, and the manner in which he deported himself. They had three scurries on the Monday, in all of which the Prince was well in front, with a deal of brook jumping to weed out the ruck of a very heterogeneous field; made up not merely of the horsemen we have mentioned, but backed up by four or five thousand pedestrians, amongst whom of coursethe Northamptonshire Crispins took a prominent position. The Levee and " other business " in town called the Prince away on the Tuesday, but his visit will long be cherished by the many friends to fox hunting in Northamptonshire. HER MAJESTY'S STAGHOUNDS. MEEDITOB : Wll you take the dottings of my pen to mark the doings of the Queen's on Tuesday, Feb 24, not so much for the run as for an incident not even within the 61 years'experience of Charles Davis. But let me first briefly narrate the run. The meet was Cookham Bridge, the deer being turned out over the railway, about a mile and a half beyond. Crowds of villagers and village dogs headed him back from the desired line to Cookham, where he crossed the river, and went away towards Maidenhead. From here we travelled at a sharp pace to White Waltham, through Capt Sawyer's park to Shottisbrook, thence across the heavy country to Wingfield, where, opposite the inn, he took a bath to prepare himself for his final run over the railway, through the forest, and up the green alleys to Ascot, where Cranbourne, with a skill that many a navigator might envy, reached the port from whence he started, and calmly waited while a countryman opened the gate to admit him to his own paddock at Swinley! This, as I before hinted, has never occurred in the memory ef the oldest sportsman. Time, two hours and a half.— Yours, & c, N. B. P. S.— On the previous Tuesday ( Feb 17) the meet was at Mile House, but, © wing to the frost, the hounds did not hunt; but those who went down joined the harriers, and were delighted with the day. I do not mean to go into any fulsome adulation, but it was most gratifying to all who were out that day to wit- ness the love of the manly sport in the highest of the land. THE LATE ROBERT SMITH. MB EDITOR : I have again to avail myself of your courtesy by acknowledging in your columns the following contributions which I have received this week for the widow of my late hunts- man, Robert Smith:— P.

Turbotston, Coole, Co Westmeath, Feb 26, 1863. HUNT CHANGES. Martin Carr goes from the Morpeth to hunt the Durham country. Press, who has hunted the Cambridgeshire under Mr Barnett for the last five seasons, is leaving at the close of this, and open to an engagement. The gentry and tenantry of Lord Yarborough's Hunt have de- termined to present the countess with an equestrian portrait of herself. Her ladyship expressed her readiness to sit on Monday last, and Francis Grant is, of course, engaged to paint the picture. We are happy to be able to contradict, on the highest authority, the rumour of poisoned flesh being laid about on any of the estates with which any one of the three members for Dorsetshire is identified. The report would seem to have originated In the death of a dog, but whether this was caused by poison of any kind is by no means clearly ascertained. THE PARBY TESTIMONIAL.— The committee appointed for carrying out the gratifying testimonial to the Master of the Puckeridge Hunt ( Nicholas Parry, Esq), by the presentation to him of his portrait, painted by Frank Grant, Esq, R. A., at a cost ef 300 guineas, met on Wednesday at the Bishop Stortford Corn Exchange, when they determined that the interesting event should come off within that building on Tuesda}', the 17th of March inst; and that John Archer Houblon, Esq, of Great Hallingbury; should be requested to preside on the occasion. The tickets of admission will only be issued to subscribers, and the dinner is to be sup- plied by the far- famed Mr Staples, of the Albion Hotel, Alders- gate- street. ESSEX.— The Hon J. Petre's Stag Hounds had an excellent run on Tuesday. A stag was uncarted at Good Easter, and soon showed the way to Mashbury; through Bushey Wood, and on to Broomfield, where it took the river and swam some distance; it then got on to the railway, and on leaving it made for Mr Pan- nell's farm at Widford, a tolerably numerous body of the hunts- men passing through the town. The stag aga'in crossed the water, and made its way through the fields by Admiral's Park, ultimately taking refuge in the church cemetery, where it was run down. In consequence of the great pressure of other matter on our columns a variety of hunting runs stand over till next week. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY, FEB 27.

It has been at length finally determined that this race shall be rowed on Wednesday, April 1, Oxford having graciously acceded to the wishes, or rather the necessities, of the sister university, where it was found quite impossible for the men to leave in time to row the race on the day which had almost become usual. We presume that this arrangement will disappoint the kindly inten- tions of the Thames Subscription Club, as however unobjec- tionable it may be that the race, when circumstances would seem to insist on it, should be rowed in the week before Easter, yet we can easily imagine a strong disinclination among the majority to a public dinner at that season. One great benefit to be derived from the change of day is that the tide will enable the race to be rowed at the rational hour of noon. This year, too, there will be a manifest improvement in the steamboat arrangements— news which will gladden the hearts of all oarsmen, and take a great weight off the minds of the high contending parties. We have authority for stating that no boats will be let to speculators, that the number let will be smaller, and that the captains of each boat will have instructions to act under the direction of the club or gentleman who has engaged it. Now we may presume that all who will thus have charge on that day will be anxious to do their best in keeping clear, and therefore they should bear in mind that the greatest injury done to the competing boats is by steaming di- rectly in their wake, thus drawing away the water, and causing them practically to be rowing against tide. We again give the names and weights of the crews as rowing last week, from which it will be seen that Oxford has probably greatly added to its strength. They have already commenced active training, and Cambridge will probably visit the fens on Monday next. Let us wish both crews all the comfort possible under the circumstances during the next four weeks. OXFORD. st lb 1. R. Shepherd, Brasenose.... 11 3 2. F. H. Kelly, University.... 11 10 3. W.

Of the above report speaks highly of Exeter, University 1, and Christ Church. It will be seen there is an increase of crews on last year's number. The racing will commence punctually at three o'clock on the day selected, and returning the same evening. The details on the part of Oxford, we understand, have been chiefly left to those gentlemen who so ably officiated at the late Oxford A6hletic Sports. We have no doubt that, once established, the sports would prove of equal interest to any of the other great encounters between the sister universities, and we hope nothing will occur to prevent their taking place, or mar their success. TRINITY HALL, CAMBRIDGE. FITZGERALD SCULLS.— These races were rowed on Monday, Feb 23. The followingwas the order of starting, and the brackets show the bumps :— SECOND RACE. I THIRD RACE. Neave [ Dyke Dyke Neave F. Parker F. Parker FIRST RACE. Neave Richardson \ Dyke / F. Parker FOURTH RACE. Neave 1 i Dyke F.

MH EDITOR: " Light Weight" expresses a hope that his letter of last week may ventilate the subject. I am quite willing to join issue with him. He seems to me to have made a mistake in confounding theory with practice. No doubt, I maintain, but that in theory the heavier the crew the better the crew. But there are difficulties to be surmounted. There are ten men varying from lOst to list 71b to one from list 71b to 13st, therefore there are ten light men to choose from for one heavy one; and therefore you might expect to find, on the same principle, ten light men who could row in good form for one heavy. And, in support of his hypothesis, your correspondent adduces as instances the per- formances of light weights of © Id times. I, in turn, will cite the performances of the heavy weights of thf> present day, and will try to give reasons for both sides of the argument. The fact was, that in former day3 " coaching" was a dead letter; and however much weight might tell, it would have been hard to expect the difference of one stone in weight to compensate for the odds of ten to one. Moreover, especially at the Universities, the heavier had not only the disadvantage of paucity of numbers, but even less coaching and science than their rivals. For the generality of rowing men in these days are from Eton and Westminster. At school you seldom find heavy, overgrown boys so efficient as the smaller and more ^ mature; and while a year or two at the uni- versity hardens and develops the heavier, yet the light men im- prove little or nothing in physique. But with Meade- King and Chitty the science of coaching came into Oxford, and from them we date an improvement in rowing. E. Warre, of Balliol, started the system of trial eights, and the University crew is now selected, not for what it is in October, but for what it will be in March. Hence big men are picked out, and though, per- haps, at first inferior, yet by the time of the Putney race have equalled in style, and surpassed in strength, the light weights, who were the better men in the autumn. You sometimes hear of a heavy man rowing at Putney without ever having rowed in an eight or torpid, but such is never the case with a light man. Were the race to be rowed at three weeks' notice in October you would find a crew of very different mould and physique to that which afterwards appears at Putney. Again, " Light Weight," though he concedes the use of weight in the middle of the boat, insists upon light men at the ends. He is partly right; but he should have said " lighter," not " light." A boat built to carry list 7lb is considerably stronger and heavier than one to carry lOst 71b. And one to carry list 71b comfortably would require more strength still than one to carry list 71b average, i. e., with about 12st 71b in the middle, and lOst 101b at the ends. Therefore, though you must get the biggest average crew that you can, still you must have more weight in the middle than at the ends; the extra weight of iron and wood to ensure strength would do more harm ts the speed of the boat than would be incurred by having the two men at each extremity about 71b lighter than the rest. ( I am speaking of an eight- oar; in a four- oar it would not much matter.) Before I conclude I wish to correct a few misstatements as to the rowing of the Cambridge crew at Putney last year. I do not want to dis- parage our own crew, but to give the Cantabs fair play. As to their style, though " Light Weight" abuses them, I maintain that they swung beautifully together, though there was a ten- dency to meet the oar throughout the boat. We licked them by sheer strength. " Lightweight" says they started at too quick a stroke. Perhaps they did, I was not looking at them, but it was a fault on the right side. Their only chance, being so com- pletely out- weighted, was to make a push for the lead. Unless very superior in training, a light crew can never hope to row down a heavy crew that has once taken the lead. Whatever their style was they rowed game to the last. Excuse my prolixity.— Yours, & c, W. B. WOODGATE, Brasenose College, Oxon. T. Royal will row G. Drewitt of Chelsea from Putney to Mort- lake, for £ 50 a side.

CLUB FIXTURES. — Thefollowingfixtures weremade bythe com- mittee of this club on Thursday evening, Feb 19, the remainder being left open until the days for the various metropolitan re- gattas are decided on, so that they may not clash with those meetings. Opening day— March 21. 2: 25 train from Waterloo. Eights— April 18. Chiswick to Putney : entries close April 4. Trial Fours— May 23. Putne3r to Chiswick; entries close May 6.* Pair- oared Gigs, with coxswain— June 22. Putney to Hammer- smith ; entries close June 10. ANNUAL DINNEB.— The eighth annual dinner was held on Thursday. Feb 26, at St James's Hall, when about 70 members and their friends were present. The chair was filled by Mr F. W. Bryant, the captain, supported on the right by Messrs H. C. Smith, hon sec Thames Subscription Club, & c, and G. Drayson, treasurer Corsair Rowing Club, and on the left by Messrs J. Owen, hon sec London Rowing Club ; C. W. Honey, hon sec Ariel Row- ing Club; Spink, captain Ilex Rowing Club, and Fenner, Ilex Club. The chairman was faced by Messrs Wallace, Collins, and G. D. Lister. After the dinner ( about which the least said the better), and the stereotyped toasts, The CHAIRMAN, in giving the toast of the evening, said he was sure, as it intimately concerned them all, they would drink in bumpers " Prosperity to the West London Rowing Club," and heartily congratulated the members on the progress the club had made year by year. He remembered it when it had been a very different club to what it was now, and had seen it from a very small beginning rise to perhaps the second place on the London river. Not only, too, had they increased at so rapid a rate, but they had brought forward great numbers of young oarsmen, and had made the club a school for beginners in the art of rowing. Many had thus been brought into notice who would otherwise have never been chronicled among matters aquatic, and the excellence of the club races last year showed the advantage of introducing young blood into rowing clubs. He must say, and he did not believe any one would dispute the fact, that no club had had better races last year than the West London. They had even gone so far as to enter the lists again at Henley, where the finest crews in the kingdom were pitted against each other. They had not vet been fortunate enough to carry off a prize, but still they had done their best, and had had the honour to row against two of the finest fours ever known. The year before last they contested the Wyfold Challenge Cup with the Brasenose crew, and it was the ge- neral remark that no four had ever been seen like them at Henley, and last year they had contended against the inimitable London four [ cheers], and a finer crew it had never been his lot to see; again they had been defeated, but although defeated, they were not cast down, and meant to try their strength again at Henley this year; the club's motto was ' Nil Desperandum, and if beaten five times for the Wyfold Challenge Cup, they intended to try the sixth time [ hear, hear]; for an Englishman, he considered, should never give up. He repeated, he thought the last season had been most prosperous in every respect, and it was the inten- tion of the committee, if they were assisted by the members, that the approaching one should be still more so. They had already fixed three races, and the others would not be determined upon until the Metropolitan Regatta fixtures were made. The four- oared race on the 23d May was a trial race, from which the Henley and other regatta crews would be selected, and he doubted not that the club would be well represented at the various aquatic meetings. They had been fortunate as regarded their rowing, and equally fortunate in the number of gentlemen who had joined the club last year; while he was happy to in- form them that 18 new members had already come in this year, and more were anxious to do so at their next meeting. Every- thing, therefore, looked most promising, and the members had only to support their officers, and he should be able to say even more in favour of the club at their next annual dinner. He would not detain them longer, but give them " Prosperity and perpe- tuity to the West London Rowing Club [ loud cheers]." After a glee by Messrs F. W. Bryant, Drake, and Mucklow, The CHAIRMAN said he now claimed their attention while he gave them " The London Rowing Club, and other clubs of the United Kingdom." It was the boast of the W. L. R. C. that they were on the most friendly terms with every other club on the river, and he was sure the representatives of the various clubs present would bear him out in what he said, and he was glad to see them assembled there that evening. They were more par- ticularly intimate with the London Rowing Club ; many of their members belonged to that club, and he was very glad to see their great successes at Henley, for if after all the West London could not win the Grand Challenge Cup themselves they wished to see it brought to this end of the river. Nothing had ever pleased him more than the splendid rowing of the London eight at Henley, and he would give them " The London Rowing Club and other clubs," coupling with it the name of Mr Owen, one ® f the most plucky rowing men of the day. Mr OWEN, in reply, after thanking the club, said he need, hardly assure them that the London Rowing Ctol^ wi* e( Ufo< ee the best rowing at every public regatta, and vdi wTin, or victory fell to some other club, was immateBai* soMong as the best crew won. After eulogising the London four, and the plucky rowing of the West London at Henley, he said the London Rowing Club hoped to meet the West London at every regatta this year. Of course they would send one if not more pairs for the Belfours, which, he might inform them, had been altered from the 9th May to the 23d. The London Rowing Club con- sidered their victories as victories for the London river generally, against other schools of rowing, and he hoped, in common with all the members of his club, that the whole of the metropolitan clubs would combine to render this a most brilliant season. The CHAIRMAN next gave " The Regatta Committees of the United Kingdom." No one but those concerned in getting up re- gattas could understand the immense amount of trouble com- mittees took for those who were to contend at their meetings. Their office was no sinecure, as Mr Smith, the hon sec of the Thames Subscription Club, would tell them, connected, as he was, so intimately with the success of the late Thames National Regattas. The trouble and anxiety attending so vast an under- taking could scarcely be conceived, but Mr Smith had ever made it a labour ef love, and he hoped the regatta would be as success- ful as ever next year. Mr H. C. SMITH, in reply, said he considered himself a most unworthy recipient of their thanks, and felt some diffidence in replying on behalf of such great bodies as the Thames Subscription Club, the Thames National Regatta Committee, and last, but not least, the Leander, which might even yet win, as it had done in days of yore, some of the coveted prizes at Henley, and number among its ranks another Champion of the Thames [ hear, hear]. The Thames Subscription Club was in a most flourishing state, and the University crews had again given their consent to dine with the club after the match. As regarded the regatta, his triennial report would, when issued, show that in three years they had collected the iarge sum of between £ 1,600 and £ 1,700 for the regatta, and they had a good balance to carry to next year's meeting. Its success was mainly attributable to the support given the regatta by the metropolitan clubs, through whose in- strumentality the committee had been enabled to give in hard cash to the sons of the Thames and' Tyne, together with disbursements to aged and deserving watermen, between £ 400 and £ 500 per annum, which he thought no small matter, when it was considered that all this was done by an unpaid executive [ hear]. He hoped to see a good regatta this year, and had already received the customary check for £ 25 from the Em- peror of the French, signed with his own hand, and accompanied by an autograph letter [ cheers]. After some further remarks, Mr Smith concluded by requesting that he might be placed on the club's next list of candidates. Mr LISTER next gave " The Health of the Captain, Mr F. W. Bryant,'' who, he said, had ever since his connection with the club assisted at all its public performances, and been most energetic in raising it to the highest standard; his motto had ever been " Ex- celsior," he had ever been foremost in promoting the manly sport of rowing, he was a most plucky rowing man, and one of the best amateur pedestrians that ever existed. He need not say more, but give them " Long life and happiness to their captain." The CHAIRMAN, in reply, mentioned the athletic sports the club had inaugurated, and said that while the members had much improved in their running, they had derived much benefit from being in constant training throughout the winter, which must necessarily render them better able to pull in the matches of the season. Mr EMBLETON proposed " Mr Collins, the Hon Sec, and the other Officers of the Club,'' eulogising all in their several capacities. Mr COLLINS having replied, several other toasts followed, and a very pleasant evening was spent. TheprizeswonatWestBrompton on Saturday, Feb 21, will be pre- sented at the next meeting of the club at Chelsea on Thursday, March 5. * The date of this may probably be altered, the Belfour Pairs coming on the same day. __ THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. In accordance with the resolution passed on the 14th Feb, a meeting of watermen was called by Henry Kelly on Wednesday evening, Feb 25, at his lieuse, the Bells, Putney, to consider whe- ther any, and if any, what steps should be taken for the manage- ment of future races for the Championship; and after a plain, matter of fact speech from Kelly, followed by various opinions, it was agreed, among other things, that it was advisable a club, to be called " The Championship Club,'' should be formed, who would receive subscriptions from every one interested in the mat- ter, including the watermen themselves, and give an annuity of £ 25 to the Champion while he held the title, besides drawing up rules for all future Championship matches; and further, that the Thames Subscription Club be asked to undertake the manage- ment of the affair. Another meeting of amateurs will shortly be called, when thjkvatermen's views will be submitted to them. THAMES ROWING CLUB. A monthly meeting of this club was held at the Raglan Hotel, on Thursday, Feb 19; Mr F. B. Catty in the chair.

The members of this club have decided on having an annual ball, and have fixed Thursday, March 12, as the evening on which to hold the first one, at St James's Hall. The following gentle- men have been appointed stewards, viz, Messrs Berkeley, W. Burton, A. Baxter, Tom W. Charles ( chairman). W. Charles, R. Clay, H. Chapman, G. Flaxman, Harris, A. W. Hill, H. B. Kent, W. Love- joy, A. M'Micken, G. Robinson, and J. W. G. Willes, of whom tickets maybe obtained, and the affair seems likely to go off well, from the number of tickets already disposed of. W. Tester of Greenwich, hearing that D. Fraser of the same place wishes to row him, will accommodate him from North Woolwich to Greenwich in old- fashioned boats, for £ 10 a side ; or W. Tester and W. Law will row D. Fraser and C. Fraser a pair- oared race from North Woolwich to Greenwich, for £ 10 a side. An answer through Bell's Life will be attended to. W. Salter, G. Williams, J. Stratford, A. Snelson, and W. Shel- ton ( cox) of Lambeth will row any four members of the Surrey Amateur Rowing Club, for their own sum, and will meet them on Monday, March 2, at Mr Huxley's, the Star, Lambeth- walk, to draw up articles. CARTER AND CHAPMAN V FENTON AND KEMP.— This pair- oared race is to be rowed from Putney to Barnes April 20. We have received £ 3 a side, and a similar deposit is to be made at Mr Clarke's, Goldsmiths' Arms, Little Sutton- street, March 2. H. Cole ( of the Pride of Westminster Club) will row T. Hay- wood, for £ 50 a side, in the best boats they can get, or on his own terms. A match can be made at Mr Hobbs's, Holywell- street, on Thursday evening, March 5. BITFKH AND KIIISBY.— For this scullers race we have received a further sum of £ 5 a side, and a similar sum is to be forwarded on Thursday, March 12. DEATH OF JOHN MAYNARD.— This veteran waterman, the eldest of the name once so celebrated, died at Kennington Feb 15. Among his many victories may be mentioned— Astley's prize wager boat, 18I5and 1817; Lambeth ditto and Funny Club, in! 817; Edmund Kean's prize in 1825, and Lambeth again in 1831. In these wagers were concerned the best watermen of that day. DEATH OF MR CHARLES LEWIS.— With regret we have to re- cord the death of this gentleman, who was for several years the stroke oar of the brilliant Leanders in their palmy days; he was also the winner of the Wingfield Sculls in 1831 and 1832. He died at Wandsworth Feb 17, aged 62. PEDESTRIANISM.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE ATHLETIC SPORTS. It is with much pleasure we learn that steps have been taken for the establishment of Oxford and Cambridge united athletic sports, and that a large and influential meeting was held at Oxford with a view of carrying out the project. The meeting, which numbered upwards of 120 members of the University, was held in the Vincent Rooms, by kind permission of Mr Woodgate, president of the Vincent Society, and was presided over by Mr Hoare, of Exeter College, the stroke of the Oxford eight, who had received numerous communications on the subject of esta- blishing the sports. It was finally determined that the Oxonians should co- operate with Cambridge, and that it would be desirable to hold the first sports at Cambridge, and that negotiations should at once be opened to that effect. It was stated that a special train could be obtained for 150 passengers at 10s each, return fare, start- ing in the morning.

The Rev L. Stephen proved the victor by 230 yards, having walked the distance in 16min 45sec. CHELTENHAM COLLEGE. PAPER CHASE.— The best paper chase that ever came off at Cheltenham was run on Wednesday, Feb 18, over upwards of twenty miles of country. The meet was fixed for Charlton turn- pike, at 2: 15 p. m., and punctual to the time a large body of col- legians were at the rendezvous. The foxes, Messrs A. Tickell, Collier, and Buckingham, being allowed a quarter of an hour's start, set off for Leckhampton Hill, along the top of which they proceeded to the Seven Springs, by Hartley Bottom. They then ran for Cowley, but when within a couple of miles of this place they turned to the right, and made for Birdlip, crossing the sources of the Thames in their course ; then skirting Lady Cromie's woods, they turned down into the vale, and then ran at a dashing pace for home, the field in full view, passing through Shurdington, along Hatherley- lane and Lansdown- road, they finished up in the Promenade, having accomplished this long run, over an extremely hilly and very difficult country, in a little under four hours. Out of a field of about 170 30 came in, of whom Messrs Baker, Beal, Dunsterville, Knowles, and Wilson were among the first. EMMANUEL COLLEGE ( CAMBRIDGET ATHLETIC SPORTS.

DOINGS AT ST GEORGE'S RACE GROUND, H0NLEY. J. Haigh, of the George and Dragon Inn, Honley, will give £ 5 10s in prize money, to be run for in a 200 Yards Handicap by novices who have not won more than £ 5. Is to enter and Is 6d to accept. All entries to be made on or before Tuesday, March 17, and acceptances the following week. Anyone en- tering and winning a heat will receive 2s 6d. Any one entering falsely will be disqualified. Stamps as cash. D. Thomson of Dewsbury and W. Longley of Millbrigg did not run their race, for £ 15 a side. Longley was dead amiss, but Thomson was fit to run for a man's life. Longley had hurt his foot, and it caused him to lose. The money down was £ 8 a side, Thomson receiving forfeit. CANINE.— J. Hellewell's Shir of Huddersfield and D. Lock- wood's Friend of High Barton will have to decide their race on Saturday, Feb 28, at the above ground; the heavier dog to give 21 yards to the pound inside. Both dogs are in active training, and a clipping race is expected. EXTRAORDINARY FEAT BY MILES AND A HALF RUN FOR £ 200. At the West London Grounds, Brompton, on Monday, Feb 23, the great undertaking by the celebrated Deerfoot. to run eleven miles and a half in one hour, for £ 100 a side, came off in these grounds, Capt P. having laid Mr G. Martin, the backer of the Indian, the money that his man could not accomplish the feat in the stated time; and long before the appointed hour there were about a thousand persons on the ground to witness the match, and among them we observed a great many gentlemen and a vast, number of the elite of the Fancy, including the two celebrated men, Tom Bayers and Heenan, both of whom looked in remark- ably good health, especially the latter. At about half- past four the preliminaries having been most satisfactorily adjusted, orders were forwarded by the referee to the pedestrian to come to the scratch, and in a few seconds Deerfoot appeared on the ground in racing gear, and it was very evident by competent judges he had undergone a severe preparation, which such an arduous under- taking would require; and although he is a most difficult chap to train, being rather too fond of London life; and, for a man during his short visit in this country, he has seen the " gas off," perhaps, as often as most men, but still upon this occasion he looked well, and full a stone lighter than he ever appeared in any of his previous matches. There was but very little speculation, although 6 to 4 was freely offered upon the Indian, who at the signal given bounded away at a rattling pace, in company of Jones of Islington, who ran by Deerfoot's side for a short distance, when the Indian dashed away at a killing pace, and accom- plished the first quarter of a mile in 60sec, and the half mile in 2min 12sec, and continued on at a great pace, which caused poor Jones to retire before one mile was completed. His backer, Mr G. Martin, however, regulated the time, from which it will be seen he almost maintained throughout the great pace he com- menced at, and ran in a gallant and evidently an easy winner by 16sec, without in the least being distressed, and in a very few mi- nutes appeared dressed among his friends, and he was received with great applause, deservedly due to him, for he ran most de- terminedly, and only once took a suck at a sponge with water. The following is the correct time each mile was run in :— Miles. 2 4 5 min sec Miles. . 4 43 , 7 • . 9 5'! 8 . . 15 3 9 25 24 11 . 3- 3 35 41 48 51 57 59 Thus it will be seen by the above time he won by 16 seconds easily; in fact, had it been required, he could have done it in much less time. During the whole time he had the following men for his attendants, who tosk it by turns to run with him:— W. Jones of Islington, W. Richards ( the Welshman), J. Brighton of Norwich, and J. White of Gateshead, who did their work ad- mirably. Deerfoot is 37 years of age, weighs list 121b, and stands about 5 feet 9 inches in height. He was born on Indian reser- vation, Catterangus county, about 60 miles from Niagara Falls, and between 500 and 600 miles from New York city, fie has run a great many matches in England, but the following are the prin- ci pal events in which he was seen to great advantage:— On Oct 27, 1862, he ran 11m 740yds in the hour, beating several good runnel's, at Brompton : Jan 12, 1863, beat E. Mills in one hour's match, co- vering 11m 790yds, at Hackney Wick. He has beaten a number of men at all distances, and from his keen- looking black eyes and his general appearance, he looks like a man with some great preten- sions. He is a fine marksman with a bow, and can cut down hares or rabbits going at a great pace, but he requires bows made in his own country to do it; we have seen him contend with the London made ones, and a man would stand a poor chance of being struck in the head at 150 yards. And, considering his age, 37 years, he certainly has proved himself a great wonder : but we think, before he leaves England for his native country, he will do a greater feat. Deerfoot can have the stakes on Thursday, March 5, at our office. WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB ATHLETIC BPORTS.— The third meeting of the club this year for pedestrian purposes was held on Saturday, Feb 21, when the following races were run, viz :— 120 Yards— First heat: Collins 1, Embleton. jun, 0, Hacker 0. Second heat: Ascott 1, E. Howard 0, Ranson 0. Final heat: Ascott 1, Collins 0. A good race; won by two yards.— Handicap Quarter of a Mile for a prize presented^ by a member— First heat: Eyjriflj^ Bfcs start, 1; Pauley 2IM. Hamble 0.

Fourth heat: Drake 12, 1; Kerridge 15, 0. W'on easily. ' Final heat: J. Embleton 1, Drake 2, E. Bright 0, Embleton, jun, 0. A capital race; won by a yard and a half. Time, 58sec.— Half Mile Race: Pitt 1, Howard 0. Time 2min 28sec.— Two Miles Race: Lister 1, Bayment 0. A very slow race, as was also the next.— Mile Race: Collins 1, Cockerel! 0. The latter gave in. The run- ning was in some instances very tame, but most of the men have much improved since the idea of these matches was started, and doubtless will be in better condition for handling the oar or sculls this season. ROWE AND PREEDY.— On Tuesday, Feb 24, these pedestrians met on J. Roberts's ground to walk four miles, for £ 5 a side, there being a good muster present. Mr Baker, well known in sperting circles, was chosen referee: and the betting, after being in favour of Preedy, closed at 5 to 4 on Rowe, and, for a minor event, there was a good deal of money speculated. The pedestrians had to make the circuit of the course sixteen times to complete the dis- tance, and all the preparatory " points" being adjusted, the com- petitors came to the mark, both looking in excellent " tiff.'' On going off, the men went away at a good pace, and for the first lap ( a quarter of a mile) kept well together. Immediately, however, the pedestrians had passed the referee, and entered upon the second lap, Rowe put on a fine spurt, and, after a spirited struggle on the part of his competitor, went well to the fore. From the style in which Rowe had broke from his man, and taken the lead, it was evident he had a clipping turn of speed in his fav © ur. When the first half- mile had been accomplished he was well to the front, and, on the finish of the mile, it was found he had still further widened the gap. When the pedestrians entered on the fifth lap ( commencement of the second mile) Rowe headed his man by some fifteen or twenty yards, and when the men " polled" for the termination of " the eighth lap ( two miles) Preedy had still further fallen in the rear. It now became apparent to all how the match in the end must terminate, as Rowe was to all intents and purposes completely outpacing his oppo- nent. Preedy, although he had not the remotest chance, con- tinued gamely on until walking the eleventh lap ( two miles and three quarters), when, being much distressed, he gave up; so that Rowe was left to walk the remainder at his leisure. The first two miles were done by Rowe in 17min 58sec, there being no further time taken. BROOKSON AND CHATER.— Wrhen the above event had been brought to a close, these pedestrians came on the ground, to run 440 yards, for £ 5 a side. The betting was 6 to 4 on Brookson, and Mr Roberts, the proprietor, acted as referee. The men, as is usual in this ground, agreed to run to the right of the course, and matters being arranged they came to the mark. On the pistol being fired they got off in good style, there being no advantage gained on the part of either. Lasting well up. and at a good pace, they continued to run in a most exciting style until they had arrived within about 100 yards of the goal. Both men having still an " extra bit" left in the system, gathered themselves well up, and made their final rush, when a good race ensued to the end, Chater being so close on his mail's quarters that Brookson did not succeed in going in a winner by more than a foot. Run in lmin 9sec. BARON AND GILES.— These men ran 100 vards on Tuesday, Feb 24, for £ 10. After cutting 15 ' minutes to waste, Mr Roberts started them by report of pistol, a very even start, Baron soon showing ahead, and winning by four'yards. The winner can have the stakes at our office next Tui- sday, March 5, at t welve o'clock. On April 3 a grand display of pedestrianism and ath- letic games will take place. Mr George Martin, having made arrangements with Mr Roberts, will give to be contended for in a twelve mile handicap race a superb silver cup for the first, £- 5 for the second, £ 3 for the third, and £ 2 for the fourth ; entries 2s 6d, acceptances 2s 6d. Also £ 10 for a four mile walk- ing handicap; first £ 7, second £ 2. third £ 1; entrance Is, ac- ceptance Is. £ 7 will be given for a 440 yards handicap race; first £ 4, second £ 2, third £ 1: entrance Is, acceptance Is. £ 5 will be given for pole leaping; first £ 4, second £ 1; entrance Is. £ 1 for the best running high leap, second 10s; entrance free. Prizes will also be given for sack racing, ball gathering, throwing the hammer, and a variety of old English sports; en- tries to be made to Mr Martin on the ground. All entries for the races, & c, to be made to Mr Roberts; or to Mr Jesse Smith, Proud Peacock, Maiden- lane, before Thursday, March 12. Stamps as cash. PEDESTRIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK- H. ANDREWS'S BENEFIT.— On Monday, Feb 23, this pedestrian, as announced, took his benefit on J. Baum's ground, and was well patronised by the admirers of athletic pastimes. The first event decided was a MILE HANDICAP.— This was for a gold ring, and was contested by novices, Parker, who had 80 yards start, being the winner, Brown 40, second, there being 11 others starters, none of whom finished. THREE MILES WALKING HANDICAP.— This was for a silver snuffbox, and was contested by the undermentioned pedestrians : — Hatley from the scratch, Thomas 15sec, Wright lmin, Allen, Lynch, Richardson, Salter, Gadsby, Hubbard IJmin, Leach 2min. Without going into details it will suffice to state that Wright proved the winner, Allen second, Hatley third; none of the others walked the match out, having pulled up one after the other when they found they had no chance. SIX MILES HANDICAP RACE.— Thi3 was for a silver cup, and after a well- contested race terminated in the victory of Andrews, who received 300 yards start, Ray 700, second, Abey ( the Jew Boy) 700, a by no means bad third, and thus ended the sports. W. HATLEY OP THE CITY AND THOMPSON OP BRIGHTON.— On Wednesday, Feb 25, these men met here to walk three miles, for £ 25 a side, Thompson receiving 200 yards. The meeting was well attended, the betting being 2 and 3 to 1 on Hatley, but there was not much money invested, as the Brightonians did not by any means back their man in the manner expected. The pedes- trians had to pass the referee 21 times, and the umpires and re- feree having been appointed, the men came on the ground, Thompson being under the management of his brother, while W. Price, assisted by one of " the stable," took command of Hatley, who, like his opponent, was in rare fettle. C. Westhall acted as referee, and the pedestrians having taken up their allotted posi- tions, the signal to start was given. As soon as the men com- menced the match, the great difference between them in point of style at once became apparent. Hatley is, perhaps, one of the fairest heel and toe performers of the day; while Thompson walked with the body slanting forward, and had that bending at the knees that made the whole action of the man not only un- gainly, but extremely objectionable, When he made his spurts, there could be no mistaking that he, in a most unmistakable manner, broke the rules, as his performance at such moments was nothing more or less than a complete " trot." That Hatley was immeasurably his opponent's superior in speed became ap- parent from the moment they had started, and when the first mile ( 7min 18sec) had been accomplished he had gained fully 100 yards on his man. During the second mile, Thompson's style of getting over the ground ( walk- ing it could not be called) became more and more opposed to the rule of fair " heei and toe." The referee warned him three times that if he did not make an improvement in his style he should decide against him, but Thompson did not appear to pay the slightest heed to this good advice, for as he found Hatley was still gaining rapidly, so did he push along in his slovenly, flat footed, trotting style, regardless of all consequences. As the pedestrians were going along the back of the course in the 15th lap ( this being the commencement of the third mile), the referee put a stop to the struggle, by deciding against Thompson for his unfair walking. When the referee had decided against Thompson, Hatley was pulled up by W. Price, but, after having put on his coat and cap, he walked the remainder of the distance at his leisure. The first two miles were walked in 15min lOsec. Thompson's friends were much crestfallen at the result; still, their man has no one to blame but himself, as the referee took pains enough with him to give due caution of what would be the issue if he did not alter his style. PEDESTRIANISM AT WANDSWORTH. STUART AND HORTON.— On Saturday, Feb 21, Mr Stuart and Mr Horton, two gentlemen amateurs, met on J. Garratt's enclosed ground to walk four miles, for two silver cups, there being a good attendance of the friends of the competitors, among whom the event produced a good deal of interest. These gentlemen pre- viously contended in a four miles handicap on the occasion of the benefit, in aid of the Lancashire distress fund, at Hackney Wick, Jan 24, when, after a well- contested struggle, they finished first and second, Mr Stuart being the winner. In the present match Mr Horton had to be allowed half a minute. Mr Garratt, the proprietor, was chosen referee. The odds were 6 to 4 in favour of Mr Horton, and there was a good deal of the needful speculated, as the partisans of both were sanguine. On coming on the ground Mr Stuart had for his attendant W. Richards ( the Welshman), Mr Horton being " assisted" by the well known J. Miles of Brix- ton. The competitors had to'make the circuit of the course 16 times to complete the distance, and when the referee had got all things in proper order, the signal was given for Mr Horton to " go," when off he dashed at a clipping pace. In the half minute allowed it was computed Mr Horton had covered something like 120 yards, and when Mr Stuart received the word of command to start in pursuit of his opponent, he went away at really, for a non- professional, a swinging pace. After the first burst, at going off, and when a little of the superfluous steam had been let out, Mr Stuart did not appear to be gaining on his man in the least, for when they passed the referee " for the completion of the second lap ( half a mile), Mr Horton still held the leading position by about 120 yards, nor had the gap between them been in any material manner decreased on the termination of the first mile, Mr Stuart, it was apparent from his style of walking, was content to for a time " hold off" and keep in the rear, finding that he had the turn of speed in his favour ; he was thus enabled to force Mr Hor- ton to keep hard at it to maintain the advantage of the lead. When the second mile had been finished Mr Horton still re- mained a long pull in advance, but the efforts he made to retain this prominent advantage became particularly noticeable while walking the third mile. It became evident then, notwithstanding all the attention he received from Miles, that he was beginning to " tire out," and that action was now getting extremely labo- rious : while, on the other hand, Mr Stuart was as fresh as at the commencement. When the competitors went by the referee for the completion of the twelfth round ( three miles), Mr Stuart put on the " fast movement," and rapidly gained on his opponent. Mr Horton, with admirable perseverance, continued the hopeless struggle until pacing along the fifteenth lap, when finding he had no chance of success, pulled up and resigned, when three miles and three quarters had been nearly accomplished. Mr Stuart, having disposed of his competitor, walked the remainder of the distance by himself, and thus proved an easy winner. The first mile was walked by the winner in 8min 58sec, two miles in 17min 43sec, and the first three miles were done in 26min 18sec ; no further time being taken. GRAY AND MILLS.— On Monday, Feb 23, these pedestrians attended J. Garratt' 3 Ground, to run 200 yards, for £ 10 a side, Mills receiving two yards. The betting was 2 to 1 on Gray, and, after a great deal of delay, the proper officials were appointed. On coming on the ground Mills was placed the allotted distance in front of his man, and when the starter had seen that they were well in position, the pistol was fired. On dashing away the com- petitors went bounding along in good style, the lead being main- tained by Mills to within 150 yards of " the finish. Gray, as they neared the goal, gradually closed on his man, and landed the winner of a well- contested race by a yard. J. TUCK OF FAKENHAM AND*!. BRIGHTON OF NORWICH.— On Tuesday, Feb 24, these pedestrians attended here, to run their half mile race, for £ 25 aside. The meeting was well attended. The betting opened with odds being laid on Tuck, but just before the start not more than even money was speculated. The race had been fixed for four o'clock, and some few minues after the appointed time the competitors, who looked in excellent fettle, came on the ground, Brighton having J. White of Gates- head for his attendant, while R. Lewis of Clerkenwell did the requisite for Tuck. The pedestrians had to run two laps to complete the distance, and the choice of Bides was won by Brighton, who, on taking up his position, had his man on the right hand— thus the Norwich clipper had the advantage of running close on the turf border. The start had to be made by report of pistol, and Mr Garratt acted as starter. The competitors got off on the most even terms, but when the first t wenty yards had been cleared Brighton came to the front, placing a gap of something like a yard and a half bet ween himself and his opponent, and at a fine pace made the running. Brighton maintained the advantage of the lead throughout the first lap, which was run in lmin 2sec. When the pedestrians went by the referee for the commencement of the second and last lap, Brighton still had the advantage of the lead by about a couple of yards, but there was speedily to be made a most material change in the disposition of the competitors. As the men, at a fine pace, went racing along the side of the course in the second round. Tuck closed on his opponent, and came to the front. Although Brighton thus had the lead wrested from him. still the interest of this magnificent struggle had by no means subsided. Three distinct times did Brighton challenge his man for the lead, and made the most strenuous efforts to again obtain the front, and three times in succession did Tuck spurt away from his opponent, just as he was about to pass him, Tuck eventually winning by about six yards : the half mile being run in 2min 12sec. The stakes can be received by the winner, at our office on Thursday, March 5,' at twelve o'clock. CEUDGINGTON AND RILEY.— After the race between Brighton and Tuck had been decided these pedestrians came on the ground to contend in a spin of 120 yards, for £ 10 a side, Riley being allowed two yards start. The betting was 2 to 1 on Crudgington, but there was little or no money laid out. The pedestrians had to start by mutual consent, and after some half- dozen attempts they bounded off, Riley having rather the best of the " break." A fine J. Jinks, all of Wednesbury; or will run W. Jevons of Hill Top the like distance, or W. Morris of Darlaston 120, with two yards start, for £ 5 a side. Money ready at Mrs Dudley's, Crown Tube Works Inn, Wednesbury. J.

SATURDAY, FEB 21.— SYKES AND INGIIAM.— This afternoon in the presence of about 230 persons, the venerable and veritable Charley Sykes of Manchester met his old opponent J. Ingham of that city, to run one mile, for £ 10 a side, Mr T. Finch being stakeholder and referee. The betting was 2 to 1 on Ingham. Sykes won the toss for sides, and at the second attempt they left the mark, Ingham cutting out the work at a pace only remarkable for its slowness. Before the pedestrians had proceeded a quarter of a mile Sykes fell still farther behind, and when the first lap of the ground had been completed, Ingham led the way by at least a dozen yards When next they passed the referee forty yards separated them— Ingham still in advance, and almost any odds being offered on him. Going up the back stretch, in the final round, Ingham ' shot out, ar. d the race, which was never in doubt, was soon concluded, Sykes giving up about 280 yards from home. Ingham then came on, without any apparent variation in speed, and he passed the tape in 6min 34sec. MONDAY.— RABBIT COURSING.— With a view to bring toge- ther some of the best dogs noted in rabbit coursing, Mr Hayes, the proprietor of this ground, a few weeks ago announced his in- tention of giving £ 2 to a sweepstakes, and he fixed the entry at £ 1 each. Ten quadrupeds were nominated, and there was a goodly assemblage of spectators to witness the coursing. The following is the result:— First ties: Wild's Spark beat Proudman's Nip, Etchell's Fly beat Hill's Fly, Christie's Fly beat Phythian's Fan, Bradbury's Nelscn beat Miller's Lucy, and Scliofield's Bill Lang beat Bradbury's Switch.— Second ties: Spark beat Etchell's Fly, Christie's Fly beat Bill Lang, and Nelson ran a bye.— Third ties: Spark beat Nelson.— Deciding course: J.

SHEFFIELD AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. ^ SATURDAY, FEB 21.— HYDE PARK.— THE RACE FOR THE ONE MILE AND A HALF CHAMPION CUP AND £ 25 A SIDE.— This after- noon there was a very respectable attendance of the lovers and supporters of pedestrianism present here to witness the long- talked- of race of one mile and a half, for the Champion's Cup and £ 25 a side, between the champion, James Sanderson ( alias Treacle) of Whitworth, and Edward Mills ( Young England), the Bethnal Green clipper, of London. Most of our readers will no doubt remember that this splendid trophy was given to be run for at the Ash Inn Grounds, Stockport, the above distance, by the proprietor, Mr J. Boothroyd. Subsequently, that gentleman left the Ash Inn, and became the proprietor of Hyde Park, Sheffield. Shortly after this Mr Boothroyd received a deposit of £ 5 and articles from Mills of London t ® run James Sanderson ( alias Treacle) of Whitworth, for the cup and the sum above stated, at Hyde Park, Sheffield. This proposition Sanderson at first refused to' agree to, stating as his reason that Mr Boothyroyd having left the Ash Grounds, the cup became his own without contending again for it on any other ground. His objections were, however, met by an agreement that the present race should be the last, and that the cup should feecome the property of the winner of this race. As soon as the necessary preliminaries were settled PIGEON SHOOTING.— The match at pigeons between Mr J. Buckley and Mr S. Wood ( both of Baddleworth) to shoot at 25 birds each, for £ 25 a side, is arranged to come off at these grounds on March 14.

Fish s, Royton, and Mills to Hackney Wick, under his old mentor, W. Price of London. Both men looked remark- ably well, particularly Sanderson; still we thought the gallant little Mills appeared a little care- worn; nevertheless, he was all confidence. The ground having been measured, it was found that to complete the distance the men would have to make the circuit of the course five times and 129 yards. Very little speculation took place, the backers of Sanderson offering 7 to 4 and 2 to 1. Shortly after the time appointed for the start the competitors entered the enclosure, Sanderson being attended by Billy Fish and a friend; Mills was also waited upon by W. Price and G. Beddows. After several false starts, during which a little " chaff" took place, a good start was effected, Mills having a slight lead, which he kept half way on the flat, when Sanderson put on the steam, shot in front two or three yards, and on finishing the first lap led the way by a couple of yards, the pace being very hot. The second, third, and fourth laps were similarly contested, both being nearly close together; at this part of the race Mills crept close up, put on the high pressure, and shot in front facing the house, about a quarter of a mile from home, and looked very much like a winner; after running a short distance further, Sanderson made an effort to again go in front, got nearly alongside of Mills, who, however, persevered and kept in front a yard or two until they had fairly entered the rising ground up the back stretch, when Sanderson screwed him- self well together, made his final effort, shot in front, and in a dozen strides led the way half a dozen yards, when Mills, seeing that his chance was hopeless, resigned the contest, leaving Sanderson to go in the winner by himself. MONDAY.— BENNETT AND LUND.— These lads, the former from Leeds and the latter from Halifax, met here to- day to decide their race of one mile, for £ 25 a side. Very little specu- lation took place, 6 and 7 to 4 and 2 to 1 being offered on Bennett, and in some instances 3 to 1 was laid. The men ran pretty well together until within 500 yards of home, when Bennett put on the steam, and ran in an easy winner by 40 yards, after a very slow race, the time occupied by the winner being 5min 30sec. TUESDAY.— PIGEON SHOOTING.— The usual sweepstakes of 10s each, at 4 birds each, was shot for on Tuesday, Feb 24, by 13 subscribers; Messrs Creswick and Fell killed all, and divided the money, £ 6 10s.

GBEAT TEN MILES RACE BETWEEN THE INDIAN AND THE CHAMPION RUNNER.— DEERFOOT AND LANG.— At Hackney Wick, on Monday, March 2, the exciting race, for £ 50, between the celebrated Seneca Indian, Deerfoot, and the equally noted W. Lang ( Crowcatcher), the " champion runner of England," will be brought to an issue at Mr Baum's grounds, adjoining the Victoria Park station. This is the match which all have long looked forward to as the crowning test of the powers of the re- nowned redskin against the very first of English pedestrians, at a distance which will set at rest for ever the merits of the Indian against the Palefaces. Of Deerfoot it is but justice to say that, apart from any adventitious circumstances, he has, by his wonder- ful powers, immense stride, and speed, combined with endurance never equalled before, scattered any prejudice to the winds that may have been felt against him ; and he now is acknowledged the' most extraordinary pedestrian that has ever appeared in England. Of one match only is it necessary to allude to as a proof of what we say— the 11 j miles in an hour, fully reported elsewhere— in which the 10 miles were performed in olmin 57sec, and then he ran the other mile and a half, and completed the whole distance 16 seconds under the hour. Verily, my " bold Crowcatcher,'' you must " pull foot" on Monday next. If there is any one, however, among British peds who is to stem the tide of victory at 10 miles, he is supposed to be W. Lang; he is reckoned among Englishmen to hold the palm, and hence the position he has gained as the Champion. To give his performances is not needed, only to state that he wrested the cup from one of the " bravest of the brave," the indomitable Sam Barker, by a contest never surpassed, since which he has held his position against all comers, and even the redoubtable Young England has had to succumb to the prowess of the " speedy man of Middlesborough.'' The importance of this match can be well understood, and never before have the public had an opportunity of witnessing a contest of such absorbing interest. Of the fitness of Deerfoot, his last Monday's doings fully prove; his heart is set on the issue: he returns to his hunting fields in May, and all who wish to see this truly wonderful man should not let slip this opportunity. All that severe and judicious training has been brought to bear to bring Lang to the scratch in the first of fettle; he lias been doing immense work under the watchful eye of Mr Bartle at Darlington, and, with his trainer and friends from there and from his native banks on the Tees, he arrived on Friday, in blooming health, at Jesse Smith's, the Peacock, Maiden- lane, Covent- garden, where he will take up his quarters till the eventful morning of the race, and where he will be glad to see his friends. To speak of the Hackney Wick grounds is not necessary; for as many as 20,000 can witness the race all round; and the manager, Mr William Price, is a guarantee of the first of order and regula- rity. The price of admission will be one shilling, reserved places extra, and proper accommodation for ladies. The start on Mon- day, March 2, will take place at half- past four o'clock.— The Editor of Bell's Life has received the whole of the stakes. Entries for T.

In reply to the two letters inserted in our last, Jem Mace has forwarded us the following communication :— MB EDITOR: My attention has been called to a couple of letters in your paper of last Sunday, which reflect so unfairly on my conduct and character, that I cannot allow them to pass unnoticed. I have been accustomed „ o regard Bell's Life as impartial, ai di t strikes me as anything but an agreeable novelty to find it assi m- ing an attitude repugnant to fair play. The inj urious epithets ana vulgar insinuations of your correspondents compel me to reply, and I trust to your sense of justice to insert my answer. The " Old Dragoon," one would think, must be in his dotage, or he would never have penned the lines which figure in your paper. Obviousl. he knows nothing of the real merits of the case. For his benefit— every body else iu any way connected with the Prize Ring knowing all about it— I may state that a few hours after my contest with King, I challenged him, depositing the money at Bell's Life, but Tom refused to fight. After that I offered him fifty guineas for another battle, and he still declined. There is no man in the world I am so anxious to meet in the ring as my late an- tagonist, and no man can be more desirous than I am to fully establish my claim to the belt or give Tom King a chance of win- ning it if he is able. Win or lose, I am ready to meet Tom. This a flair of the Unknown is none of my seeking. Of the Unknown I know nothing. He is as great a mystery to me as he is to the " Old Dragoon." Whatever may be the opinion of the latter is to me indifferent, satisfied as I am that the British public is far too manly to confound this transaction with any underhand business on my part, or, to borrow a phrase from the " Old Dragoon,'' " public- house gag." The advertisement of the presentation of the gold cup to myself appears to have excited the indignation of your correspondent. Why, it would be difficult to say. As to the presentation, it was a spontaneous act of generosity on the part of an old friend and fellow townsman, who has always taken a lively interest in the Ring, and who is pleased to admire muscular force and pugilistic skill, as so many other members of the aristocracy have done before him. The " Old Dragoon," in the light and happy- strain which is peculiar to himself, instead of calling Mr Wind- ham by his name, facetiously alludes to him as " the hero of the late lunacy inquiry." This is not the place to discuss the verdict of a British jury, but if an inclination for sporting life be a sign of insanity, a majority of the most illustrious members of the peerage should be in Bedlam. How highly I appreciate the generosity of my friend, I need not state here; a number of my fellow townsmen propose to give me a silver cup next week. I am not to blame if the gentlemen and commoners of England choose to rally round a man whom they consider has been unfairly used, and who has never shrunk from a battle nor shirked a foe. As to the " congeniality" of the " game," if I am to understand the " Old Dragoon'' to mean by that expression that I am proud of these tokens of friendly regard, I must plead guilty. " If it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive." The gratuitous insult about " raising the wind" deserves no answer. Your correspondent " A Hater of Pseudonyms" is as- sured, on my part, that I hate " high- sounding nonentities'' with as true a hatred as he does himself. If Champion of the World belongs to this category, it is not my fault; I am not the inven- tor of the title. The Nestors of the P. R. are answerable for that. As any man in the world can challenge the holder of the Cham- pion's Belt, my weak judgment would lead me to the conclusion that the holder of it is the Champion of the World. However that may be, it is not for me to decide. Whatever the proper title be, I claim it. I hold it not by courtesy, but by conquest. I claim it as my right? I have never " been fairly beaten to tue satis- faction of the pu blfcr " Wiat ever be the verdict of Bell's Life, the verdict of the public is entirli^'^ NIny favour. I am not envious of surreptitious honours, but 1 have a good share of British tena- city in sticking to what is my own ; and while I am willing to try conclusions with any man, I am most unwilling to submit to the gratuitous insults of anonymous correspondents. Both your corii* spondents deal largely in epithet. I am accused not only of as- suming a title to which I have no claim, but it is more than in- sinuated holding it by avoiding a contest which would take it effectually out of my hands. I am requested to observe the con- duct of Tom Sayers as a model for imitation, but I beg to say that Tom and I stand in very different positions. Sayers's fight was a draw. Nob » dy in their senses claimed the victory for Heenan. In my case, the result of an accident is made to tell fatally against me, and to deprive me of that which I have fairly won. In conclusion, let me repeat that I am more anxious to settle the Unknown than any less interested party can be. I want to have it out with King, aiid my fight with Incognito is a step towards it. Apologising for the length of this letter, and trusting to your sense of justice for its insertion, I remain, sir, yours, & c, JAMES MACE. Old King John, Holywell- lane, Shoreditch, Feb 24, 1863. On this letter we have very few remarks to make. As to the Unknown, we take Mace's assurance that he knows nothing of him to be true. As to his replies to the letters of " The Old Dragoon," and " A Hater of Pseudonyms," the public will form their own opinions, but as to the Championship, we still adhere to our original statement that Mace is not the Champion, nor can he be until he has defeated the Unknown. We cannot, of course, help his calling himself Champion of the World, or of the Uni- verse, or of anything else he may select, that is a matter of taste; but the Championship of England, which is the only Champion- ship represented by the belt, and recognised by the sporting world, is a matter of fact, which ; depends not upon Jem Mace, or any other present or future candidate for the belt. W hile on the subject of this said belt, we have now to state that on Wednesday, Feb 25, Mace called at our office and restored it to our hands, accompanied by an apology. He said he had given his word to show it at the presentation of his gold cup, and could not break that word. He fully admitted he was wrong, and trusted we would overlook his conduct. This apology was backed up by the requisitions of his friends, and as we always consider that an error owned and apologised for is more than half atoned for, we, of course, consented to say no more on the subject. We hope and believe this will be a lesson to him for the future in playing with edged tools, and we trust that instead of listening to the recommendations of some of his hangers- on, he will at once come ts head- quarters when he is troubled with communications from us. As to the belt itself, we beg to state once, and for all, that as soon as King returns from Newcastle, it will be restored to our hands, and will not be lent on any consideration ivhatever to any man till after Mace's match with the Unknown. The rumours astto this said Unknown appear to have been re- doubled since the publication of the letters of last week, and the match is the topic of conversation in all directions— but we have, at present, no clue to the mystery. That there are one or two good big ones somewhere looming in the distance is certain. We hear of one coming man in that great milling nursery, Notting- ham, who is reported superior to Bendigo or Caunt in their best days: and in another district we have authority for saying a big one exists, for whom a very well known sporting man holds a commission to stake £ 500, or even £ 1,000, to fight any man in England, the match to be made either at once, or after the deci- sion of the forthcoming mill. Ail these facts tend to show that the milling spirit is reviving more strongly than ever, and that we are on the eve of as exciting a set of battles as commenced with the first mill for the present belt between Tom Sayers and the Tipton Slasher, and ended with Tom's great battle with Heenan. Let us hope the ending will be more satisfactory. We find we were in error last week in stating that a deposit was to be made at Jack Hicks's this week. It is- to be made at Hicks's, Kings Arms, Wfaitechapel, on Thursday, March 5. YOUNG MILLS OF NOR'CIAMPTON AND BOWEY TAYLOB OF BIRMINGHAM.— These men met on Monday, Feb 23, at Winson Green, at catch weight, for £ 10. It was an off- hand match. Tay- lor has now been before the public for years, and generally speak- ing has been very successful His opponent, Young Mills, is a compact, well- built little fellow, about 21 years of age, and his fighting weight about 7st 81b or 9lb. This'was his first public essay. He looked in good trim. He was seconded by F. Fisher and Tom Allen, whilst Bowey Taylor was waited upon by J. Fox and H. Allen. The men commenced proceedings, and got to warm work immediately. In the fourth round Taylor's left hand became puffed from a stinger on Mills's nob, who got well heme on Tay- lor's ribs and over his left ogle : Taylor, although in a measure disabled with his left, made good use of his right, placing it heavily on the nasal organ of Mills, from which the claret flowed freely. Mills, who fought gamely, managed to plant a rattler on the jaw, sending Taylor to grass ( knock- down blow for Mills). The men continued round after round, fighting under disadvan- tages ( the ring being badly kept), until Taylor at last began to show evidence of weakness, and at the end of 53min and 36 rounds, his friends, seeing he had no chance, threw up the sponge in token of defeat. Mills has received the battle money. FI<? HT FOE £ 20 IN THE NOTTINGHAM DISTEICT.— On Monday, Feb; 23, a fight for £ 10 a side came off at Farnsfield, near Notting- ham, between Bartley Macdonald, and W. Brownlow ( alias Young Rough). There was a capital attendance of the Fancy from Nottingham and the surrounding neighbourhood, and for- tunately the fight was brought to a conclusion without the slight- est interruption. The odds were 6 to 4 on Macdonald, and a good sum was laid out. On the men appearing in the ring, it was at once seen that Macdonald was considerably the stronger and more muscular man, but the manner in which Rough rushed at him seemed to take him by surprise. Some regular bard hitting took place on both sides. First blood and first knock- down blow were gained by Brownlow, who towards the fortieth round had cleatrly the victory in his own hands, his antagonist being very weak, and his mawleys so much swelled that his blows did no execution. Still he kept coming up, time after time, till the seventy- fifth round, when Rough administered a spanking hit on the head which sent him all abroad, and his seconds consequently threw up the sponge, the battle having lasted one hour and a half. BARNEY EEGAJST AND JEMMY WELSH.— On Monday, Feb 23, these lads, who are quite unknown to the Ring, met on the home circuit, for £ 5 a side. Regan was seconded by Young Hawkes and Bull: Harrington and Henley doing the polite for Welsh. There were in the whole 100 spirited rounds fought in 2h 27min, Regan having decidedly the best, when Welsh had the contest given against him, in consequence of going down without a blow, contrary to the 13th rule. First blood was gained by Welsh early in the fight, while first knock- down blow was obtained by Regan by a fine right- hander on the nob. " Green of Bilston and Sulphur of Dudley met on Tuesday, Feb 24, at Bassett Pole, near Tamworth, at catch weight, for £ 10, where a most determined fight took place. Green, who got first blood, was backed by his friends at 6 to 4, but, after a short time, Sulphur led the way, and after a gallant fight of 90 rounds, in 2h lOmin, Sulphur was declared the winner. TOPPEB BROWN AND BUEGESS.— In this match, it will be re- membered, Burgess was over weight, and we awarded the stakes to Topper Brown. We this week received a letter from a solicitor on behalf of Burgess, demanding the whole of the money, and alleging that Burgess was not over weight, and was perfectly ready to fight, while Brown declined. The letter also contained a formal notice not to part with the money. Of that letter it is almost needless to say we took no further notice than to secure ourselves by a guarantee against consequences, and we have handed the money to Brown, who requests that all those who stood money with him will call at his own house, the Caledonian Vaults, Naylor- street, Vauxhall- road. Liverpool, to have a settle- ment. As to Burgess, since he has thought fit to call the law in to his assistance we wish him joy. He will, for some time to com e, have to make known his wants and his wishes through other chan nels than Bell's Life in London. RILEY AND GBEEN.— These men were matched for £ 25 aside, but from our Sheffield reporter's account Riley has forfeited. Riley declares that hestaked his deposit last'week with our reporter, who denies that he? staked at the appointed time, and says that therefore Green is entitled to forfeit, and this is correct if Riley's money was not posted in time to be announced in our last. If our reporter received it. sufficiently early to be able to communicate with us by Friday morning, then the match must go on. If otherwise, we shall send the money to Green. As the original articles are lost, we shall treat the copy forwarded by our reporter as the original. DREW AND DUTCH 8AM.— These men have again staked £ 2 10s each. They are to stake similar sums on Thursday, March 5, at Bob Travers's, Sun and Thirteen Cantons, Castle- street, and the remaining £ 20 a side on Thursday, March 12. at a house to be named by Mr W.

There were also a number of sweep- stakes afterwards decided. FOOTBALL. CHARTERHOUSE v DINGIEY DELL. Dingley Dell played a return match with Charterhouse on Wednesday, Feb 25, when, after an hour and a quarter's work, the result was a tie. The game was energetically kept up throughout, and owing to the favourable condition of the ground, as well as of the weather, was pretty closely contested all the time. Upon two or three occasions Charterhouse very nearly succeeded in winning a game through the instrumentality of J. Lant and K. Muir Mackenzie, and Dingley Dell were once scarcely prevented from doing so when several of their side were in close proximity to their adversary's base with the ball for some time, For Dingley Dell, Cleasby's playing was very good indeed; and L. Ogden's performances on behalf of Charterhouse deserve much praise. Dingley Dell: Seymour. Protliero, Cleasby, Earl, Wil- kinson, Allen, Evans, Smith, Dawson, Fenton, and Rutter. Charterhouse was represented bv G. J. Cookson, B. F. Hartshorne. J. Lant, K. Muir Mackenzie, J. T. Hodgson, Hon F. 8. O'Grady M. I. Mackenzie, E. L. Pearson, A. C. Seymour, H. H. Cameron L. Ogden, and C. A. Sumner. THE CRUSADERS AT RILBURN. On Saturday, Feb 21, the Crusaders visited Oaklands House. Kilburn, the residence of Mr D. Nicoll, to play a match against the " No Nothings," which, after an hour and a half's hard con- test, ended in a victory for the Crusaders by two goals to nothing. The visitors losing the toss had to play " up the hill," and it was not till after an hour's severe play, that Wharton, ably assisted by Cleasby, obtained the wished for goal. Ends were changed, and though Piggott, W. Baker, and Renshaw, ably assisted by their captain, A. Pembers, did their best to regain their fallen laurels, they were unsucessful, and Malkin for the Crusaders, very cle- verly kicked another goal. Harding, Cleasby, Malkin, and Giles did good service for the Crusaders. The sides were :— The Cru- saders : R. D. Cleasby, F. Giles. J. Harding, H. Malkin, H. Meuch, H. Hunt, F. Steward, H. Steward, M. Thoms, B. Thorns, C. Wharton, A. Severn.— The tio Nothings: A. Pember, D. Nicoll, E. H. Pember, H. Baker. W. F. Baker, F. Bedwell, A, Renshaw,; D. Piggott, E. Mayward, W. Wawn, A. Daly, A. Mor- ten, J. Baker. E. H. Pember was compelled to leave off early in the game, in consequence of a slight accident. FOREST CLUB v BARNESL A match was played between these clubs en Saturday, Feb 21, on the ground of the latter, at Barnes, and resulted in a victory for the Forest. Play commenced at half- past three, and was car- ried on well till five o'clock, when Mr C. Alcoek, of the F. F. C., kicked the first goal. One of the F. F. C. was at this period of the game obliged to leave, but the game was continued, the Barnes having 12 men to the others 11. Play was continued till time was called— half- past five— no further goals being obtained. The game was well played, and the two sides fiercely contended for the victory, which was, as above shown, won by the F. F. C. ANGLING. On Tuesday, Feb 24, the members and friends of the West End Waltonian Society, held at the Fish and Bell, Charles- street, Soho- square, met to celebrate their second anniversary with a supper. The feed put on the table by Host E verard was well worthy of the numerous company who partook of it. On the removal of the cloth the National Anthem was most enthusiastically chanted, fol- lowed by such a host of musical talent as would have been a treat to anv company. The meeting terminated, as those of the West End WaltoHians generally do, it a most satisfactory manner. GOLDEN TENCH ANGLING SOCIETY, VICTOBIA TAVF. BN., CHOELTON- STBEET.— Two members of this society, Mr Stead and Mr Burden, took, on Feb 24, jointly, 501b of jack ; where, we are not informed. Mr T. Slaman, of Reading, caught a fine pike on Thursday, Feb 19, in the Thames at Sonning , it weighed 211b, was 3ft 5lin in length, and 23 inches in girth. The water is preserved by Mr Lockley, White Hart Inn, Sonning, about three miles from Reading. RABBIT FANCY— GBAVESEND, MILTON, AND NORTHFLKE'I FANCY RABBIT SOCIETY.— The above society will hold their winter show at the Windmill Tavern, Shrubby- road, Gravesend, on Monday, March 2.

The unprecedented " monster meeting" held last spring at Ashdown, when the sport lasted over seven days, and no less than 150 dogs competed for " the Ladies'Plate," bids fair to be fully equalled, if not eclipsed, by the coming gathering. At Lambourne the demand for accommodation is already great, although beds are as yet to be obtained at " head quarters"— the Red Lion. Under Mr Bowker a great change for the better has taken place in this establishment, the tariff of charges having been materially modified, and the accommodation very much im- proved. Kennels are already secured for the representatives of the Earl of Sefton, Col Bathurst; Messrs Lister, Smith, Esdaile, Mather, Brundritt, Reed, Swinburne, & c, & c. The ground is in excellent order, hares numerous and strong, and should the pre- sent delightful weather continue, a truly enjoyable week s sport may be anticipated. The Craven Champion Cup of 1863 will be limited to 64 grey- hounds at 10 guineas each, out of which 140 sovs will be taken for the Ashdown Purse, to be run for by dogs beaten in the hrst round of the Champion Cup. The Uffington Plate, for 16 all- aged greyhounds, at £ 5 10s each, will close with the Cup on Monday next, at six p. m., after which dinner will be served, and the draw take place. A V eteran and other stakes will be made up during the meeting, and Scotch and Irish nominations will be guarded as long as practicable. The stakes will be divided on the following scale:— The CRAVEN CHAMPION CUP. The winner to receive £ 200 The second to receive 60 Winners of four courses each to receive £ 30 60 Winners of three courses each to receive £ 10 ...... 30 Winners of two courses each to receive £ 5 40 Winners of one course each to receive £ 2 10s 40 The ASHDOWN PURSE. The winner to receive £ 60 The second to receive 20 Winners of three courses each to receive £ 10 20 Winners of two courses each to receive £ 5 20 Winners of one course each to receive £ 2 10s 20 An alteration will have to be made in the preceding scale, and in the apportionment of the Ash down Purse, should all the entries not be taken up in the Craven Champion Cup. The UFFINGTON PLATE. The winner to receive £ 50 The second to receive 10 Winners of two courses each to receive £ 4 18s 9 THE GREAT WATERLOO MEETING-( CONCLUDED). Owing to the scarcity of hares in some portions of the ground, defective beating and generally inefficient management during the early part of the meeting, the sport, almost invariably brought to an issue in three days, on this occasion extended ever four. On Friday morning the weather was delightful, a clear blue sky and a slightly frosty air imparting a most exhilarating influence over the large field that assembled at Hill House anxious to wit- ness the termination of the exciting struggle. On our arrival at the place of rendezvous, however, we found that the " throw off" • would be at Church Houses, nearly two miles off, a very judicious " move" as it turned out. The Earl of Sefton was determined that the meeting should not be subjected to such annoyances as those experienced on the preceding day, and the spectators, who again mustered very strongly, were kept in an orderly line that presented a very agreeable contrast to the ruffianism of the Thurs- day. In the beating, too, there was great improvement, the hares being noiselessly and carefully driven from fallow on to some meadows on the Form by side of Altcar, where the sport com- menced with some very fine trials, the opening spin being for the Waterloo Cup ( second ties), between Lady No rah and Silk- worm : The former, most speedy from slips, led for some time, until the hare bore round in favour of Silkworm, but, quickly shifting her position. Lady Norah took the two first points, when Silkworm got in, rubbed them off, and again led ; Lady Norah then went past on the inside out of my sight. Streamer and Monarch: Streamer, three lengths faster than Monarch, drove his hare on to some fallow, where he brought her well round, and tripped her, Monarch instantly killing. Sea Foam and Coodareena : The former slightly led on the outside, gaining first turn, followed up with some strong wrenching work; when, crossing the drain, Ceodareena took possession, and kept it for a considerable distance, occasionally letting in Sea Foam, but as quickly displacing him. When the course ended, and from where Tstood, it appeared odds on the blue. Sea Pink and Rebe ( 5 to 4 on the former) : These two cracks were slipped to a good hare, Sea Pink getting the best off by two lengths; the hare afterwards bore in her favour, by which she gained a great advantage. After the first turn Rebe laid herself down closely to work, and got good possession of her hare, which she so closely covered thatit was impossible for the clever Sea Pink to pass her until she had run up a soore ef six or seven good points, and although afterwards exchanges took place, the course was never in doubt. This was a great blow to the supporters of the Knotty Ash kennel, as it was - supposed that Mr Spinks ran his best in his own nomination. Kingwater and Imperatrice: 2 to 1 on Kingwater, who was lead- ing three lengths when the hare bent direct round in favour of Imperatrice, who was now well placed, and turned Pussy to Kingwater, the latter going on with a lead of three lengths, until the hare repeated her triek of running from Kingwater to Im- peratrice, and the former, again disappointed, momentarily threw up his head ; Imperatrice won decisively afterwards, the hare being killed between them. Chloe and Spider ran two undecided courses, the first of which might easily have been decided, however; in their actual trial Chloe led four lengths to the hare, and completely running round Spider for the next turn, kept her place for three or four good racing points, Spider occasionally rushing, but getting nothing from it. Reliance and Be Quiet : The latter slightly led from slips, and gained first turn, when they exchanged two or three points, until Reliance gave a clever go- by, which was quickly returned by Be Quiet, who afterwards rushed, thereby throwing her chance away. Hopbine and Duchess: After an undecided, Duchess went off very slack, Hopbine taking a lead of from eight to ten lengths, wrenching her hare to near the covert side, • when Duchess began to warm up, but there was not time enough . for her to recover her lost position before the hare escaped. The Waterloo Purse ( first ties).— Colchicum and Blooming Daisy : Colchicum, much the faster, gained first turn, putting in the Daisy, to whom he quickly gave a racing go- by, and kept almost selfish possession of the hare to near the crowd, where the hare was killed. Blemish and Drawn Sword: After an undecided, Drawn Sword appeared to show most pace, but Blemish well on her legs gradually drew away, and got direct in the scut of her game, which she quickly picked up. rolling over into the drain. Sea Rock and Confederate: The former got very badly from slips, by which Confederate reached the hare ten lengths in ad- vance, bringing her back to Sea Rock, who wrenched twice, and led nearly to cover, where Confederate gave a clear go- by, and just won. Briar and Sea G- irl: The latter exhibited most pace from slips, but in passing some hurdles, which Briar got first through, she lost the lead, and Briar gained first turn ; Sea Girl then swerved, and wrenched the hare back to the red collar, who was now leading for cover, but as in last course ( between Confederate and Sea Rock), Bea Girl shot clear by going into cover, and but just gained the fiat. Jerry baldi and Glen dower ran very evenly for some distance; finally Glendower shot ahead two or three lengths, turned, wrenched twice, and killed— a very clever performance of the Welsh rebel. Agility and Great Gun: The former led three lengths to the first ditch, which she smoothly went over, and resolutely worked a good hare for some time; Great Gun gamely struggled for victory, but superior pace beat her, Gilbert and Dervock: The latter tripped at the first ditch, by which Gilbert gained a strong lead, and afterwards won a fair course very cleverly. Scipio and Heart ef King: The former led from slips, was soon passed by Heart of King, who gained first turn by four lengths; after crossing the • first ditch Scipio took a couple of points; afterwards the course was all in favour of Heart of King. The Waterloo Plate.— Heather Jock led Attila several lengths to the hare, scoring the two first turns, when Attila got in and afterwards exhibited most speed, and proved by far the more clever animal. Hippogriff and Sutler: The former got first up and turned the hare to Sutler, who took the following turn; Hip- pogriff then strongly wrenched his hare three or four times, when Sutler gave a clear go- by, and, after wrenching twice, made a clever kill. Tirza and Dunoon ran two short undecided courses ; on their third attempt Dunoon led several lengths, and got well on the line of his hare, which he wrenched, until the sough saved its life. Belligerent and Jock o' Dalgig had an un- decided ; next time Belligerent showed his extraordinary speed, and turning put in Jock o' Dalgig, quickly giving him a clear go- by, and, after strongly wrenching his hare four or five times, he killed cleverly. Another undecided followed between Belle of the Village and Dixie ; when again slipped, Dixie got best away, and for a time led, until Belle of the Village gave a go- by, and, after wrenching three or four times, fell, and Dixie went on for some time, until Belle of the Village, having recovered herself, again went clear by, and afterwards won very decisively. Laura led justice several lengths, and giving first turn, wrenched and killed. Ellington again showed his superior pace by leading Gipsy Queen throughout a long trial. The Waterloo Cup ( third ties).— Silkworm and Streamer: The former went off with a lead of three lengths, which posi- tion she kept until she killed. Rebe and Sea Foam: After leaving slips, Rebe led, and just as she turned the hare another iumped up in front of Bea Foam, which the latter followed, and Rebe bringing hers round simultaneously, joined in with Sea Eoam, and quickly took the hare from him, scoring four successive points. The course being run close to us, we had a good view, until they crossed the ditch on to the green road, when Rebe again had much the best of it. Sea Foam, in fact, barely made two conse- cutive points throughout the course, but to the astonishment of the whole field, Mr Warwick took off his cap— a proceeding that was most severely commented upon. In their next slip Rebe merely led five lengths to the sough, where the hare escaped. Chloe and Imperatrice: Chloe led, and well brought the hare round, taking the following point. Imperatrice then got well on the scut of her hare, which she never left until she had run up a long score, quite obliterating the one against her, Chloe evidently running slack, but finishing with a kill, which gained her the fiat. Reliance gained all the first and latter parts ef a moderate trial with Hopbine. The Waterloo Purse ( second ties).— Colchicum and Blemish had an undecided, which Blemish won well. Next time Blemish led, and scored the three first points, putting in Colchicum, who took the next turn, Blemish the following two; Colchieum then got to work, wrenched three or four times, and made a cross kill long before the early points made by Blemish had been rubbed off. Confederate, after running two undecided courses, was drawn in favour of his; opponent, Sea Girl. Glendower, running close and well, eleverly disposed of Agility. Gilbert and Heart of King ran an undecided, which many thought the latter had won. Their next attempt was short; Heart of King, in a circuitous race up, wrenched and killed. The Waterloo Plate ( first ties).— Attila and Sutler: The hare ran slightly in favour of Butler, who got well on the line of his game, which he kept until he threw up the hare, which Attila killed. After an undecided, Belligerent outpaced Dunoon to the hare considerably, scoring the first and second turns; when the latter got in he worked very closely. The ground, being very uneven, did not suit Belligerent, who occasionally came with one of his terrific spurts, pat- sing Dunoon, but the latter, again in very quick, out- worked this fast son of Pugilist. Patent outpaced Belle of the Village, scoringthe three first points; they then exchangedacouple, when Patent made a mistake at seme manure heaps, and the Belle got to work, but killed a shade too soon; the old lady then got on to a second hare, and had a pumping single- handed spin. Patent also got on to a second hare, but his spin was of shorter duration, Pussy quickly escaping in a sough. Laura and Elling- ton : The former went off very fresh, quickly scoring four or five strong points, some short give and take work following; Elling- ton then took the hare to himself, which he kept throughout the remainder of the course, until Laura shot in and killed; there could be but a trifle between them to decide from on this occasion. The card had now been run twice through, which caused thirty- six courses to be run off, exclusive of fourteen undecided spins, making in the total fifty trials, which we got through earlier than on either of the previous days. The Scotch division had now all gone down in the Cup, but one being left in the Purse and one in the Plate. Of the Irish brigade but one remained in the Cup ( Reliance). The Knotty Ash Kennels were also all put out, ex- cepting Sea Girl, who had not nearly shown the form she dis- played when victorious in the Altcar Produce Stakes. The dinner party at the Waterloo Hotel consisted of some of the suc- cessful competitors, who still remained in, together with a few of those less fortunate, beaten in the afternoon. Mr A. Graham, the president, was still to be found at his pest. The settling of accounts was got through without a complaint or a defaulter being proclaimed. The president then read down the list for the last ties and deciding courses, the following being a fair " price current:"— THE WATERLOO CUP. 30 to 20 on Rebe v Silkworm | 14 to 10 on Reliance v Chloe THE WATERLOO PURSE. 21 to 20 on Blemish v Sea j 30 to 20 on Glendower v Girl I Heart of King THE WATEBLOO PLATE. 30 to 20 on Dunoon v Sutler | 30 to 20 on Patent v Laura Betting on the event:— THE WATEBLOO CUP. 7 to 4 agst Rebe I 5 to 1 agst Reliance 3 to 1 Silkworm | 6 to 1 Chloe Hill House was again the fixture for the meet of the fourth day, at ten o'clock sharp. SATURDAY presented a dull appearance, and on our arrival at the place of meeting the rain began to fall. Fortunately it was, however, of short duration, it having cleared off before the first slip. Lord Sefton arrived punctual to time, with Lord Grey de Wilton and Captain Molyneux; a start was at once made from the yard of Hill House farm to the meadows below, where the deciding courses for the Waterloo Cup are invariably run off. Rebe and Silkworm were placed in slips near Hill House plan- tation, for The Waterloo Cup ( fourth ties).— Immediately after being slipped a second hare jumped up; they then divided, taking one each, Rebe having by far the most severe single- handed course. In their next slip Rebe led three lengths to the hare, which she well worked for a considerable distance, without allowing her oppo- nent Silkworm to participate in the course, the latter being in but once before the death; many thought that Silkworm hung a little, but I did not notice it myself. Chloe and Reliance : After leaving slips Reliance slightly led, but the hare immediately bending in favour of Chloe, the latter first brought the hare round to Reliance, who then shot in and killed ; these two might have had another trial. The Waterloo Purse ( third ties).— Blemish and Sea Girl: The former slightly drawing up at the first ditch, which Sea Girl took advantage of by shooting ahead, and bringing the hare well round to Blemish, who took the following turn ; some dodging work near the ditch side followed, slightly in favour of Sea Girl, who eventually gained the fiat. Glendower and Heart of King: The Scotch dog slightly led, but weuld not persevere, and Glen- dower getting past him gained first turn; the latter then put forth his close working abilities by keeping the hare to himself until near Hill House plantation, when Heart of King took a couple of wrenches, and turned to Glendower, who again went on with his game, which he cleverly killed near cover. The Waterloo Plate ( second ties).— Sutler and Dunoon : The Croxteth dog led two lengths to the hare, and turned, when Dunoon served, and closely covered his game for some time, Sut- ler occasionally rushing without effect, until he steadily laid to work, when some good exchanges followed to the plantation, slightly in favour of Dunoon. Patent and Laura ran very evenly for some distance, until Patent drew awaj', got good possession of his game, and won cleverly. The Waterloo Cup ( deciding course).— Rebe and Chloe ( 20 to 10 and 50 to 20 on the former): The slip was on very indifferent ground for so important a course, there being a sough about three hundred yards in front of them. Rebe, first from slip, slightly led until unsighted, when Chloe went on with a lead of five lengths, and the hare bearing round in her favour, gave her first possession, and, taking the hare beyond the sough, turned and wrenched twice. Rebe then joined in, but the hare doubled back and reached her place of refuge before any further work was done. Mr Warwick was obliged to decide in favour of Chloe, although it was a very unsatisfactory trial for Mr Haywood's pet. This was a great turn up for the bookmakers, many of them standing very badly against Rebe, whilst others had scarcely laid against Chloe. The Waterloo Purse ( deciding course).— Glendower and Sea Girl ran head and head for two or three hundred yards; Glen- dewer then drew two lengths in front, and so closely covered his hare that it was impossible for Sea Girl to get past, and through a pretty trial he barely threw a point away, Sea Girl being close up throughout, ready for an opening, which never occurred until the hare was killed between them. The Waterloo Plate ( deciding course).— Patent and Dunoon ( England versus Scotland): After leaving slips, for some distance neither seemed to have any advantage until, as if by magic, Patent shot in advance several lengths and worked his hare cleverly, driving Pussy up a bank, where Dunoon killed; Patent thus winning the Waterloo Plate like a game good greyhound, having one to contend with him equally game, and, in my opinion, the best representative of Bcotland. It will be seen after the second ties in the Cup the Scotch division had not a representative left to contend for the blue riband of the leash, and but one Irish nomination remained in, who went down in the fourth ties. Had it not been for the luck which attended Chloe, it would have been a great contest between Rebe and Reliance for superiority. I should have given prefer- ence to the former, although there was much running left in the Irish bitch; however, I may congratulate myself on having picked out the runner up, who would undoubtedly have been the winner had it not been for the misfortune with which she met, and the up- hill game she had to play throughout, bowling out, as she did, the two cracks of the Knotty Ash kennel, viz, Sea Foam and Sea Pink, which performance alone proves her to be the best greyhound of the meeting. I certainly sympathise with Mr Haywood in losing this valuable prize, when almost within his grasp. Considering the size of his kennel his performances atAltcar have been almost unequalled; last year he ran up to Sea Pink for the Waterloe Purse with Romping Girl, and at the late meeting ran up for the Waterloo Cup to Chloe, beating Briar, Jock o' Dalgig, Bea Pink, Sea Foam, and Silkworm, a very dangerous lot to contend with. Rebe is by Mr Randell's Regan out of Lady, by Kentish Fire, and is privately trained by an old servant of Mr Haywood's, whose attention to his dogs is very praiseworthy, Chloe, the winner, is by Judge out of Clara; Clara, by Lopez; she is white and black, of good appearance, with a capital shoulder, good fore legs, and fine racing haunches. Her present running weight is 541b. She was trained by W. Boynton ( private trainer to Mr T. C. Lister), an industrious and careful trainer, as those who have witnessed Corporal, Cresswell, Chloe, and others of the kennel brought to slip will testify. Chloe ran her first course with Great Gun in rather slovenly style, but improved every course afterwards. She won the Altcar Club Cup at the Autumn Meeting of the Altcar Club, beating Bird on the Wing, Belle of Killwinning, Bavin, and Jingall, and at the late Altcar Club Spring Meeting was put out in her first course by Retainer for the Members' Cup. Bhe had a narrow escape in her course with Imperatriee, and certainly got through the stake with a fair share of luck. However, it is gratifying to see fortune smile upon so genuine a courser as Mr T. C. Lister. Glendower, the winner of the Waterloo Purse, has before distinguished himself over the Altcar flats, by winning the Befton Produce Stakes for dogs, seventy- two entries, out of which forty- five put in an appearance. Through the stake he put out Howard, Brazenface, Good Words, Bencher, Great Expectations, and Lord Sefton's Streamer. He also divided the Ashdown Stakes at the October Meeting with Mr Long's Lily of Killarney. Glendower is by David out of Guzewing, and own brother to Gabriel, winner of the Druid Cup at the Amesbury ( Wiltshire) Meeting. He is trained by Lord Grey de Wilton's private trainer ( C. Ridge), whose abilities in that capacity are well known. Sea Girl, who ran up for the Purse, also won the Croxteth Stakes, for bitch pup- pies, at the Altcar Club Meeting, beating Symmetry Bobbinet, Beam of Light, Bit of Fashion, and Sola; but during the pre- sent meeting she did not appear to me to display the fine working tactics, or show the pace she did in the autumn. Bhe is trained by Archibald Coke, private trainer to Mr Spinks, than whom few know better how to bring a greyhound in proper form to slips. Patent, winner of the Waterloe Plate, has been in lavender for some time, under the fostering care of John Weaver, of Raven and Riot notoriety. He was brought to slips in the pink of perfection, weighing 62 pounds. He had a narrow escape from defeat with Jerrybaldi, but when beaten by the flying Kingwater, it was thought by many that he deserved another trial. Patent is by David out of Lady Clara. He is fast, and unquestionably very stout, of which his course with Carabradzo, at Abergele, will be a sufficient proof. Dunoon, the runner up for the Plate, is the property of Mr John Dunlop, and ran in Mr Borron's nomination. He is by Daring out of Kate, and possesses a fair share of pace, besides being a nice smooth runner. The crack Belle of the Castle, whose trial had been so extraordinary, causing her to start first favourite for the Cup, could scarcely make a point with him. Dunoon won the Seafield Tower Stakes at the Ardrossan Club ( Sharphill) Meeting, beating Blueskin, Black Forest, Lucid, and Black Dwarf. At Girthing Auchins ( Ardrossan) Meeting he was beaten in his first course by Lord North for the Winton Stakes. At the Ardrossan ( Sharphill) Meeting, in October, he was drawn, after beating Blueskin and Little Maid, in favour of Weasel, who ran up to Viscount Dalrymple's Meg o'Lows. In the Biggar St Leger he won three courses, beating Baffle the younger, Dundee, and Blan- tyre, and was drawn after an undecided course with Calmaroona, who was also drawn after an undecided course with Dixie, the winner. The private trials of the Scotch division must have been very indifferent, such greyhounds as Sambo, Carabradzo, Belle of the Castle, Heart of King, Bobbing Down, Babs, Corooran, and others, all largely backed, being put out the first time of asking. It is to be hoped that some of them will retrieve their lost laurels again at Ashdown Park next week. The Irish brigade ran quite up to their usual form, and I hope at the next contest at the LouthChampionChallengeMeeting( Ireland), they will receive the support such hearty sportsmen demand. It will be seen that the winners of the Waterloo Purse and Plate are both by Mr Long's " David," and throughout the past season in all the principal stakes a descendant of this celebrated sire is sure to be found near the end. Before concluding my remarks, I must again call attention to the liberality'of the Earl of Befton in providing hares over this fine ground, and to the energetic man- ner in which he personally exerts himself in showing sport. During the past meeting he met with but a poor return in many instances for his kindness, and I sincerely trust that those con- cerned will take strong measures to prevent a repetition of the unseemly conduct on the part of the public to which I last week called attention. The most sweeping reform, moreover, is neces- sary in the management of the meeting, whioh for the future I would suggest should be under the superintendence of an efficient and influential committee of coursers.

CORK SOUTHERN CLUB.— Owing to the great scarcity of hares- caused, it is gene rally supposed, by the harshness of the weather— in the Cloyne district, the committee of the above club have been reluctantly compel led to abandon the Annual Champion Meeting, hitherto announced to take place on the 8th of April. This is much to be regretted, as there was every . certainty of the 32- dog stake filling, and of a capital meeting generally. TH0RNEY MEETING— FEB 24 & 25. Stewards: Messrs W.

Through the very liberal permission of his Grace the Duke of Bedford the members of the Thorney Club held their second meeting of the season, including two open stakes, viz, the Abbey and Bedford Stakes, on Tuesday and Wednesday. Owing to the numerous meetings which are at this period taking place, together with the Ashdown Park meeting in immediate per- spective, the entries were not numerous, the Abbey Stakes closing with eleven, and the Bedford Stakes with nine nomina- tions, eight dogs forming the Club Stakes. The entry and draw took place at the Rose and Crown Inn, Thorney, under the secre- taryship of Mr Scotney. The meet the following morning was at ten a. m., and the sport commenced on the farm of Mr W. Whiting, magistrate and late high sheriff of the county, who, with his lady, honoured us with his presence during the greater part of the day. The first brace of dogs placed in the slips were May Fly and Goltho for the Abbey Stakes: Goltho went off first from slips, and for a short distance led four lengths, but slacken- ing, May Fly went away five or six lengths in advance, and killed in straight running. Daylight and Rural Dean : After leaving slips both got wide of their game, the hare turning in favour of Rural Dean, by which he obtained a lead of seven or eight lengths, but at the fence Daylight drew up, and went past. The hare then went into a small plantation, but quickly appearing on the otherside, agoodcoursefollowed, muchinfavourof Daylight. Gambler and Fellmonger were slipped on fallows. Fellmonger gaining the furrow, went off ten lengths in front, and won very hollow. May Field and Belletti ran a short undecided ; in their next slip, on some wheat, Belletti got a good position, driving the hare across a piece of fallow on to some seeds, when May Field got in, but had not brought the hare round up to where Mr Warwick decided. They afterwards had a pipe- opening trial, principally in favour of Belletti. Jenny and Barrister: The former went off very raw and untutored, as if it had never been in slips before; Barrister getting to the hare with a strong lead, brought her round to Jenny, who, when in, worked very closely and cleverly, but in the racing stretches Barrister was much the faster, and won with some points to spare. Goblet ran a bye.— The Bedford Stakes: Gaudy led Reference to the hare, turned, and went round her for the next turn; Reference then got in with some strong wrenches, Gaudy evidently waiting until she saw an opening, when she shot in and killed just in time to win the course. Royal Bride and Balfe: In the race up to the hare Royal Bride got unsighted, Balfe taking a strong lead until the hare turned herself, which well- placed Royal Bride ; Balfe then began to wait, Royal Bride scoring several good points in succession, when Balfe put on his speed, went round the Bride, and cleverly killed his hare. Balfe here certainly showed two paces. Miss Alice and Beggar Girl ran a capital trial. After leaving slips they ran very evenly for some distance; Miss Alice then drew out a length and turned the hare through some hurdles; Beggar Girl, first through, then drove her hare across a piece of wheat back into the stubbles and across a grass field, where she put in Miss Alice, twice giving her a go- by each time, winning a good spin very handsomely. Vocal and Grog: The latter led three lengths from slips, but Vocal passed him, and flew the fence six lengths in ad- vance, when they went out of my sight. Thunderbolt ran a bye. — The Club Stakes: Gazelle and Bishop: The latter gained the run up to the hare, and, after an exchange of points, Gazelle ran against a hurdle spike, which penetrated the shoulder, incapaci- tating her from further running. Signal led Try Me Again, and had much the best of the early part of a moderate trial, the latter getting in in the middle for three wrenches, when Signal again took the hare, and won very hollow. Ethelred scored the first four points, when he slackened. May then went to work, and was fast rubbing off the score, but Ethelred, second- winded, came again and just won. Jemmy Slator and Blucher ran an unde- cided, and before another hare could be found darkness came, which prevented further running, consequently this course had to remain over until the following day. The day was beautifully fine, and, although the field was not nu- merous, it was highly respectable. A number of young ladies, daughters of some of the leading agriculturists of the district, graced the field on horseback, adding much to the beauty of the scene. In the evening a number of influen- tial gentlemen dined at the Rose and Crown Inn, Thorney, kept by the widow of the late Mr M. Simpson, well known and much respected at the Amesbury, Ashdown, and Newmarket meetings, at which meetings he invariably ran superior animals. With his confederate and attached friend, Mr W. Ground, he bred Beth ( afterwards Monk of Thorney), Edgar, Black Douglas, Sandy, & c. An excellent dinner was placed upon the table at a reason- able charge. Mr A. Ground presided, Mr Scotney occupying the vice- chair. After the usual loyal toasts, Mr Ground proposed " The Health of His Grace the Duke of Bedford,'' in very appro- priate terms, eliciting a warm response from all present, after which a very convivial evening was spent. The meet the follow- ing morning was fixed for ten a. m., at Mr Clark's Farm, Scolding Drove. WEDNESDAY was a beautiful morning, the spring birds singing delightfully. We met, as appointed, but it was nearly eleven o'clock before the first brace of dogs were put into slips. The sport commenced with the course left over the night previous between Jemmy Slator and Blucher, who again had an unde- cided. When in their final slip Jemmy Slator led, and turned twice; Blucher then took the following turn, and Slator killed. The Abbey Btakes ( first ties).— Mayfly and Daylight: Mayfly led three lengths, turned and stumbled, and let in Daylight; Mayfly then raced past for next turn, when some give and take work followed until the hare escaped. Fellmonger and Belletti: In a long slip, in which for some time neither showed the ad- vantage until Belletti stumbled at a drain, and Fellmonger going on scored the four first points, which throughout a long course Belletti could not effectually wipe off, the hare beating them hollow in the drain side. In a long and severe trial Goblet received not the slightest assistance from Barrister. The Bedford Stakes ( first ties).— In a long slip Royal Bride just gained the run up from Gaudy, turned and put the latter in, who also turned ; they then exchanged three points each; Royal Bride then rushed to the front and killed, winning with but a trifle to spare. Beggar Girl and Thunderbolt: After leaving slips the former got unsighted, which gave the first turn to Thunderbolt, after which Beggar Girl got to work resolutely, and cleverly driving her hare throughout a good trial, never allowed Thunderbolt to participate in the course. Grog ran a bye — The Club Stakes: After an undecided course Signal was drawn in favour of Bishop. Ethelred took all the early points from Jemmy Slator, and after the latter had wrenched twice, killed.— The Abbey Stakes ( second ties): Mayfly and Goblet: During the time they were in my sight Goblet showed supe- riority, but, running straight from me, I could not distinguish the colours throughout. Fellmonger ran a bye.— The Bedford Stakes: Royal Bride and Grog raced up to the drain, where they killed; undecided. Royal Bride then led from slip, Grog drew past her and gained first turn, three lengths in advance ; Royal Bride serving, afterwares kept selfish possession throughout— a capital course. Beggar Girl ran a bye with Gaudy, the former winning throughout.— The Club Btakes ( deciding course) : Ethel- red led two lengths, turned, and put in Bishop, who took the fol- lowing turn, and kept possession of the hare for five or six strong wrenches, apain bringing her hare well round to Ethelred, who quickly killed, quite destroying his chance of success.— The Abbey Stakes ( deciding course): Fellmonger and Goblet: the latter led several lengths, and, throughout a good trial, showed superior speed, putting in Fellmonger a number of times, and as fre- quently going by her, and winning the stakes in the most hollow style.— The Bedford Stakes ( deciding course): Royal Bride and Beggar Girl: In a race up of near three hundred yards, it was impossible to discern which was first, until the hare bore round in favour of Beggar Girl, who then turned, and wrenched the hare back on the grass, where Royal Bride got in and balanced the points; Beggar Girl than gave a fine go- by— a performance she repeated— working her hare well through the crowd, and killing at the gate near the road. This was a clever perform- ance of this little daughter of Edgar and Bernou. She is well suited for the downs, and should she put in an appearance at the forthceming Ashdown Meeting ( which is not improbable), she will be found a very dangerous competitor. Thus closed a very agreeable meeting, for although there were not a great number of dogs, the trials, throughout, were very fine; with a better stock of hares the Thorney ground will be found second to none. The farmers in the neighbourhood are of the most agreeable class, and are particularly desirous to produce sport over their respective garden- like farms. Thanks are also due to Mr Mien, the agent of the estate, who is desirous that no obstacle, whatever, should prevent the meeting being brought off with success. Mr Warwick gave much satisfaction on this his first visit to Thorney; and Marshall, the slipper, who has youth and abilities on his side, slipped capitally. ASHDOWN. WHITCHURCH MEETING- FEB 23.

COUNTY LOUTH CLUB.— Full particulars of the Open Meeting of this club, to be held on the 18th inst and following days, will be found in our advertising columns. Owing to the attraction of " the Spinks Cup,'' liberally added to the principal stake by Mr Spinks, nearly all the nominations have been already secured, and there is every prospect of an unusually brilliant and successful meeting. CREWE MEETING.— On Wednesday last, by the kind per- mission of J. Rimmer, Esq, a coursing meeting took place © ver. theiaurch House and Sidney Farms, when the following matches were run:— Mr B. Cotton's Tickle beat Dr Taylor's Tom Bayers.— Second match: Dr Taylor's Jet beat Mr Chamberlain's Tiny.— Third match: Dr Taylor's Tom Bayers beat Mr Cotton's Tickle.— The leading parties present dined at the Sidney Arms. The subject of forming a regular coursing meeting at Crewe has been considered, and all but determined upon. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY— METROPOLITAN RAILWAYB.— On the motion for the second reading of the Great Eastern Railway ( New Metro- politan Station and Branches) Bill, a long conversation arose re- specting the various projects of railways in the metropolis, in which the propriety of enforcing some uniform regulations to insurethe convenience and ornamentation of London was strongly urged. Ultimately the debate on the bill was adjourned for a fortnight. TUESDAY.— THE VOLUNTEERS.— Lord STBATHEDEN asked the Under- Secretary of State for War whether Her Majesty's Go- vernment were prepared to enforce that part of the Report of the Volunteer Commission which recommended the delay of bri- gade and divisional field- days until the end of the battalion drill season. Earl DE GREY said, although it was certainly desirable that these great displays should be postponed until as late a period in the year as was convenient, they could only take place on occa- sions when it was possible to bring together a great body of volunteers, and when the volunteers were able to give up a whole day for the purpose. The great mass of the volunteers were men busily engaged throughout the year, and they could only sacrifice a few whole days in the year [ hear]. Now it had been found that Easter Monday was the day on which the greatest number of volunteers could be got together. No doubt, if Whit- Monday could be made the chief holiday, it would be, as re- garded the volunteers, a great advantage. But this was not a matter with which the Government could deal [ hear]. The Go- vernment had no power to call upon the volunteers to assemble for any such purpose in time of peace. They left all arrange- ments of time and place to the commanding officers, and they did not intend to depart from this practice, or to propose any regulations founded on this recommendation of the commis- sieners. The subject then dropped, and the house adjourned. THURSDAY.— No business of importanceitranspired. FRIDAY.— POLAND.— Earl RUSSELL, in reply to the Earl of Ellenborough, said that, notwithstanding the remarks of Count Rismark, what he ( Earl Russell) had said a few nights ago respecting the agreement entered into between Russia and Prus- sia with regard to the Poles was correct, and subsequent events had proved it. In reply to the Earl of Shaftesbury, he said he believed it was true that Polish students had been arrested, but he was not aware whether they had been given up to Russia. PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES ANNUITIES BILL.— This bill was read a second time. TRANSPORTATION.— Earl STANHOPE moved for copies of a certain address from Australia, praying for a more extended sys- tem of transportation, and the reply thereto.— After a few words from the Duke of NEWCASTLE, the motion was agreed to, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY— THE PRINCESS OF WALES— On the order for the second reading of the Prince and Princess of Wales's Annuities Bill, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY repeated his objection to the course taken of calling upon the house to agree to a resolution for a grant of the annuities before the papers relating to the revenues of the Duchy of Cornwall were before the house, admitting at the same time that the proposition itself was a just and reasonable one— A conversation arose with reference principally to the question whether, on every occasion of the death of a Duke of Cornwall, the revenues of the duchy reverted to the Crown; and to the amount and application of the revenues of the duchy during the minority of the Prince of Wales, of which Lord PALMERSTON gave full details, stating their total amount at £ 540,000.— The bill was read a second time. EGYPTIAN TROOPS FOR MEXICO.— Mr BUXTON called attention to the purchase and deportation from Egypt of a negro regiment by the Emperor of the French, characterising the trans- action as a cruel one.— Lord PALMERSTON observed that the transact'on was certainly a very irregular one on the part of the Egyptian Government, and a very unfortunate one, and he could not help thinking that the French Government would feel that the act was as cruel as that which had taken place at Warsaw. Her Majesty's Government had expressed its opinion of the irre- gularity of " the transaction on the part of the Pasha. BATTERIES AT GREAT YARMOUTH— Sir H. STRACEY asked the Secretary for War why the batteries at Great Yarmouth, for which a site was chosen and the land purchased and paid for by Government in the year 1859, and of which the importance to the general trade of the country in the North Seas was pointed out by the Secretary at War ( in a correspondence with the Mayor of Great Yarmouth), had not been erected?— Sir G. C. LEWIS said the harbour of Great Yarmouth was not included in the schedule of the Act on Fortifications, and it was not intended to make any proposal for erecting works there in the Army Estimates of the current year. The works on the Humber and Mersey were thought to deserve the attention of Parliament, but it was not considered necessary to take a vote for Great Yarmouth. SALMON FISHERIES ( IRELAND) BILL.— Mr ESMONDE inquired whether, in consequence of the Irish assizes necessitating the absence of several Irish members, the hon member for Wexford would postpone his motion for the committee on this bill ?— Mr M'MAHON would not consent to any postponement. He would press the bill through committee on Wednesday next, take the report on Thursday, and the third reading on Friday, if he possibly could [ hear, hear, and laughterj. The house then went into committee on the Navy Estimates, and several votes were agreed to. TUESDAY.- THE IRISH FISHERIES BILL was postponed NAVAL'OFFICERS.— Sir J. HAY moved a resolution, " That this house will, upon Thursday next, resolve itself into a com- mittee to consider of an address to Her Majesty, submitting that, in the opinion of this house— 1, the position of the officers of Her Majesty's naval service in respect of promotion and retirement is not satisfactory, and ought to be amended ; 2, that, with a view to the increased efficiency of the naval service, and to meet the just expectations of officers with respect to promotion, it is desi- rable to adopt for all ranks the principle of retirement by age ; and 3, that the pay of naval officers ought to be so adjusted as to enable them consistently to maintain the rank they hold, and to give them fair remuneration for honourable service." Observing that considerable dissatisfaction existed among the officers of the navy, and, in his opinion, not without good grounds ; that they looked upon the Admiralty as anything but friendly to the con- cession of their just rights ; he proceeded to justify and enforce his propositions, showing that his scheme of retirement would benefit the service and promote its efficiency by producing a steady flow of promotion. With reference to the last proposition, he pointed out the grievances suffered by officers of the navy through insufficient and diminished pay and allowances, which he contrasted with those of the army and the civil service, and also with the remuneration of officers in the navj' of other nations. — Lord PALMERSTON moved, as an amendment, the following re- solutions :—" 1, That this house having, on the 13th of March, 1861, instructed a select committee to consider the present sys- tem of promotion and retirement in the royal navy, is of opinion that its decisions should be suspended until the subject shall have been accordingly considered and reported upon ; and 2, that a select committee be appointed to consider the present system of promotion and retirement in the royal navy, and to report their opinion thereon.'' Doing, he said, full justice to the motives of Sir J. Hay, and convinced that he was actuated by nothing mere than a desire to promote the interests of the service, he could not refrain from regretting the course which, in and out of the house, Sir John had thought proper to pursue. Military and naval bodies ought not to become deliberative assemblies, to en- force upon the Government changes for their own benefit; to meet together, to appoint committees, and to correspond with members of the profession, calling upon them to state their griev- ances. Such a proceeding tended to shake the foundations of mili- tary and naval discipline, and would form a most dangerous pre- cedent. The course taken by Sir J. Hay, in proposing his resolu- tion, was not altogether consistent with the functions of the house, which ought not to assume those of an administrative charac- ter.— A good deal of discussion ensued, and ultimately Sir John withdrew his motion, and the amendment of Lord Palmerston was agreed to. CORPORAL PUNISHMENT.— Mr ADDEELEY obtained leave to bring in a bill for providing for the further security of the per- sons of Her Majesty's subjects from violence, by adding corporal punishment in such cases, the objections to which form of punishment he met by referring to its success whenever re- sorted to, as in protecting Her Majesty and in securing works of art, and strongly urged that a punishment so effectual should not be thrown away. Mr AYRTON obtained leave to bring in a bill for the remunera- tion of jurors in certain cases. THE SEVENTH OF MARCH.— Sir G. GREY obtained leave to bring in a bill to make provision concerning bills of exchange and promissory notes payable in the metropolis on the 7th day of March next; such bills, within 15 miles of London, will be payable the previous day. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES'S ANNUITIES BILL passed through the committee. EXPORTATION OF SALMON.— Mr SMITH asked the Se- cretary of State for the Home Department if it was the intention of Her Majesty's Government to bring in a bill during the present session to prevent the exportation of salmon from the United Kingdom during the fence months of the year.— Sir G. GREY an- nounced that the Under- Secretary for the Home Department intended to give notice of a bill upon the subject. THURSDAY— BREACH OF PRIVILEGE— THE APPOINT- MENT OF MR REED.— Sir F. SMITH complained that he had received a letter from Mr Reed characterising a statement which he ( Sir Frederic) had made to the house in the debate upon the Navy Estimates, with reference to his ( Mr. Reed's) appointment by the Board of Admiralty, as " false and libellous," and moved that the document was a breach of the privileges of the house.— The motion having been agreed to, Sir FBEDERIC moved that Mr Reed be on Friday called to the bar of the house.— This motion was likewise agreed to. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES'S ANNUITY BILL was read a third time, and passed. THE NAVAL ESTIMATES.— The house then went into committee on the Naval Estimates, and many votes were agreed to, after which the house adjourned. FRIDAY— PRINCESS ALEXANDRA AND THE PRO- CESSION.— Bir R. CLIFTON asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether there was any truth in the state- ment in the newspapers yesterday that he had written to the authorities of the City as to changing the ceremonial upon the reception of the Princess Alexandra ?— Sir G. GREY re- plied that he liad not given any instructions altering any plan of loyal ceremonial that Her Majesty's subjects proposed adopting. He had, it was true, been co- operating with the dif- ferent authorities, in order to assist them into the best mode of doing honour to her royal highness in her passage through London [ loud cheers]. The procession would not be a state one in the usual sense of that term. There would be six open carriages, provided the weather was of a very favourable nature [ laughter], and the cortege would be attended by a squadron of Life Guards. A strong desire had been expressed by the city of London, always foremost in all loyal demonstrations and in loyalty to the Throne [ cheers], to take a leading part in the reception of the princess at the Bricklayers' Arms, the citizens claiming some jurisdiction over the ancient and loyal borough of Bouthwark. The other municipal authorities of the districts through which their royal highnesses would pass had also expressed an anxious desire to be allowed the fullest oppertunity of taking a part in the proceedings of the day [ hear, hear]. It had, therefore, been arranged that the authorities of Southwark — attended by his two hon friends the members for the borough ( Mr Layard and Mr Locke) [ hear, hear, and laughter]— should attend at the Bricklayers' Arms to receive the princess. The Lord Mayor and sheriffs would be likewise present at the station; but it was arranged, in order to prevent overcrowding, in consequence of the number of carriages, that the civic procession, in its entirety, should join at London Bridge and precede the cortege as far as Temple Bar. At Temple Bar the authorities of Westminster, headed by the Duke of Buccleuch, High Steward, the Dean of Westminster, the High Constable, and other burgesses would receive the princess [ hear, hear]. The authorities of every part of the metropolis, through which her royal highness will pass, had really and truly vied, the one with the other, to do honour to the Princess Alexandra, and to be afforded an opportunity of exhibit- ing their loyalty on this interesting occasion, a feeling shared in common by all Her Majesty's loyal subjects, and every opportu- nity would be afforded them in carrying out their desires. This explanation does away with the fears expressed that the Corporation of London would be deprived of their rights on the occasion, and we can only hope that that portion of the pro- ceedings under the immediate control of the Government will be carried out in such a manner as to render it worthy of the occa- sion, and that it will partake sufficiently of the nature of a State procession as not to be thrown into the shade by the efforts which will undoubtedly be made bv the civic authorities. PRIVILEGES OF THE " HOUSE.— Mr REED, who had been adjudged guilty of a breach of the privileges of the house in send- ing an impertinent letter to Bir F. Smith, on account of a speech he made in the house relative to Mr Reed's appointment as chief constructor of the navy, appeared at the bar of the house and apologised for what he had done. On the motion of Bir F. SMITH theapologywas considered sufficient, and Mr Reed was discharged. POLAND.— Mr HENNESSY moved an address to Her Majesty on the subject of Poland, showing that Russia had altogether dis- regarded its treaty obligations with regard to that country, and calling on the Government to insist upon those obligations being fulfilled.— Mr EJEWDEGATE cautioned the Government as to how it interfered in Polish affairs, as the disturbances were fomented chiefly by the Jesuits.— Mr BUXTON was glad the question was to be taken up by diplomacy only, but he hoped that the Govern- ment would protest against the barbarities exercised by Russia.— Mr MONCKTON MILNES urged this Government to join France, and their united voices would have some weight with Russia.— Mr WALTER contended that the last paragraph of the resolutions meant war if it meant anything, and if the time for armed inter- vention had arrived, the question had better be left in the hands of the Government. — Mr DENMAN approved of the resolutions, al? but the last paragraph, and Mr Hennessy's speech he could no - agree with. He objected to pledge the country to war, or to say-" ing that we would not resort to hostilities under any circum- stances whatever. He suggested a medium course, which, while it did not pledge the country to war, would not take the dia- metrically opposite course.— A lengthened discussion ensued, in the whole of which the greatest sympathy was expressed for Poland, and soon after the house adjourned. LATEST INTELLIGENCE, BELL'S LIFE OFFICE, Saturday Night, 12 o'clock. THE POLISH INSURRECTION- DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS. CRACOW, FEB 28.— The Czas of to- day announces that the Rus- sians have been beaten by Langiewicz, near Malagaszec, after an engagement which lasted five hours. Malagazec is in ruins. MEXICO. The Paris correspondent of the Express, writing late on Friday evening, says:—" I learn from authority, which I implicitly rely upon, that the Government has received most embarrassing news from Mexico. General Forey despairs of taking Puebla without a much larger army than the one which he at present commands. He says the fortifications are very strong, and have been much improved of late. He could get round Puebla and march upon Mexico, but would not answer for the result of that measure. He testifies that the universal feeling of the population is most hostile to the French, and that the government of Juarez, whatever may be its faults, is the best that Mexico has had for a long time. In conclusion, he recommends his Government either to send very large reinforcements or to take the earliest opportunity of getting out of the business. From another source I learn that the Empe- ror tells General Forey that, in the present state of Europe, he cannot spare more troops for Mexico." DISGRACEFUL STATE OF OMNIBUS HORSES. To- day, at Marlborough- street, Samuel Rumball, driver of an omnibus, the property of Shillitoe, was charged by the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with cruelly torturing two horses by working them in an omnibus whilst in a totally unfit state for labour.— James Rutherford, one of the society's officers, said this morning about one o'clock he saw the defendant driving two horses attached to an omnibus from the end of Tot. tenham Court- road to Oxford- street. The defendant flogged the horses several times, and as they seemed unable to go along with the omnibus, he examined them. The near side horse he found to be very lame, with broken knee. There was an enlargement of the fore fetlock joints, and the horse was in a weak and debili. tated state, and totally unfit for work. He took the horse away from the omnibus, and allowed the conductor to go on with the other horse; but, seeing that it was also going lame, he examined it, and found it lame of both forelegs. The sweat was running off both horses, and on asking the driver why he flogged them he said he was obliged to do so to get them along, but that he did not think they were so bad or he would not have brought them out, as three months ago he was fined 10s at the Marlbo- rough- street police court for a similar thing.— The state of the horses was confirmed by a veterinary surgeon, and they were ordered to be detained, and a summons was issued against the owner. SMOKING IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE. To- day, at Bouthwark, Charles Fowler, King's Arms Tavern Old Kent- road, was charged with unlawfully smoking in one of the Brighton Railway carriages. Mr Proctor, a timber merchant' stated that on Saturday, the 21st,} he got into a third class car- riage at East Grinsted, for the purpose of coming to London. The defendant andanotherman also got into thesamecarriage, and with- out asking whether it would be convenient, commenced smoking short pipes. Witness and another gentleman objected to the smoking, and requested them to desist, but the defendant continued smoking all the way to the Three Bridges station, where they all got out to change carriages. Witness endeavoured to avoid the defendant, but the latter got into the same carriage, and making use of abusive language, said he was determined to annoy him all the way up to London, and he did so. Mr Wil- liams, of Reigate, who was in the same carriage with the last witness confirmed the above testimony, and said that when Mr Proctor complained of the defendant's smoking both he and his friend ridiculed him, and continued to smoke, saying they should annoy him all the way. He considered Mr Proctor had been grossly insulted.— In answer to the charge, the de- fendant denied having smoked at all, or having taken out a pipe. Some persons in the carriage were smoking, but it was not him. — Richard Bodle, who said he was a corn merchant at Red Hill, swore he was in the same carriage, and saw the defendant, and was positive that he neither had a pipe nor smoked. There was no one in the carriage who smoked.— Mr Burcham told witness that he did not believe a word he said, as the defendant himself acknowledged that some one was smoking, although he said that he did not. It was clear to him that neither Mr Proctor nor Mr Williams came there to perjure themselves, and he should, there- fore, inflict the highest penalty upon the defendant, who was then ordered to pay 40s, and 2s costs, besides 4s for expenses to Mr Proctor, and 3s 6d for expenses to Mr Williams. ROBBING FURNISHED LODGINGS. To- day, at Worship- street, Eliza Wheeler, Louisa Gillam, Harriet Phillips, William Renshaw, and Henry Hinton Draper were charged with being concerned in stealing property from divers persons, at their dwelling- houses. On the 7th ult Renshaw engaged apartments at the residence of a Mrs Flaxman, Whitmore Cottage, Hoxton, representing the prisoner Wheeler as his wife. Gillam and Phillips subsequently called, passed themselves off as relatives of the former, and also occupied lodgings there. After a week all decamped, and then it was ascertained that the separate rooms had been nearly stripped of the bed- clothing and table linen. On the very day they left, all the prisoners, under pre- cisely similar circumstances as in the above case, got into apart ments at the house of Mr Tomkins, New Charles- street, City- road and were missing on the 19th with all they could lay their handg upon. A few hours afterwards Draper and Wheeler played a similar triek upon a Mrs Linnell, in Remington- street, City- road, but in this instance Draper passed himself off as the husband, and the others as relatives.— They were apprehended at Deacon's Music Hall.— Committed for trial. ELOPEMENT AND BIGAMY. To- day, at Clerkenwell, a young woman, with a profusion of curls, applied for advice. She had been deluded into marriage with a man who had a previous wife, and who was tried for bigamy and imprisoned for a year. The term was just about to expire, and she wished to know whether she had a right to retain possession of some furniture which she had purchased with her own money before the marriage. His first wife had been to her house to demand the furniture. The magistrate told the appli- cant that she was the owner of all she had purchased with her own money, but what the man had purchased solely belonged to him. SMOKING ON A RAILWAY PLATFORM. To- day, at Lambeth, Robert Roote, carver and gilder, St Mar- tin's- lane, was charged with smoking a cigar at the Waterloo station, and impeding the inspector in the execution of his duty Defendant was requested to put out his cigar while on the plat" form of the railway, but he flew into a violent passion, said he was a proprietor on the line, followed the inspector up and down, and seized him by the arm two or three times. He now ad- mitted that he had told a falsehood in saying he was a pro- prietor.— Fined 30s, and 4s costs. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. The only event of importance in connection with monetary affairs during the past week has been the announcement of a Four per Cent Danish Loan, amounting to £ 2,000,000, the first issue to be limited to £ 500,000. It is fixed at 91 per cent, to be paid by instalments, extending over a period of three months. The money is required for the construction of certain railways in Denmark, and there can be no doubt that the subscriptions will exceed the proposed amount, especially as the loan is already quoted at a premium. The discount market has continued easy, without any variation, the minimum being 4 per cent, while accommodation, is obtainable in other quarters as low as 3f per cent. Although there has been a temporary cessation of the influx of gold into the Bank of England, the stock of bullion has increased, and it is thought that the supplies from Australia and America will be sufficient for export requirements, and probably leave a surplus for accumulation. Trade is quiet, but steady. At the Stock Exchange the settlement in Foreign Stocks and Railway Shares has constituted the principal business, but the Funds have exhibited depression, owing to numerous sales based upon the Polish question and other adverse influences. Consols closed yesterday at 92| £ for money and the 5th proximo, and at 92| for the April settlement. SATURDAY EVENING. The Funds to- day exhibited little change of importance. Con- sols closed at 92 § J for money, and at 921 for the account. In the Foreign Market business continued dull. Old Turkish Six per Cents closed at 89| to 90|, the Loan of 1858 at 72 to 72£, and the Loan of 1862 at 69£ 69f. Railway Shares in several instances were a shade flatter. Joint Btock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remained without any material change in values. CRYSTAL PALACE.— Return of admissions for six days ending Saturday, Feb 28 ( including season ticket holders), 8,545. THE " SATURDAY REVIEW'' AND DR CAMPBELL.— On Friday, Feb 27, in the Queen's Bench, Dr Campbell, the Editor of the British Ensign, and a well- known preacher in London, obtained a verdict, with £ 50 damages, against the proprietors of the Satur- day Review, for a libel in an article in that journal, charging him with corrupt motives in his efforts to promote Christianity among the Chinese. PROFESSOR JOWETT.— The Assessor of the Vice- Chancellor's Court at Oxford gave a judgment on Friday, Feb 27, in the case of Dr Pusey and others against the Regius Professor Jowett of the university, which had " the effect of dismissing the case against Professor Jowett. It may be recollected by our university readers that, when the cause came on for argument on Friday week, Mr Pottinger, the proctor for Professor Jowett, protested against the " jurisdiction of this court, in three ways, viz :— 1. That the court never had had any jurisdiction in matters purely spiritual; 2, that the court was not provided with the machinery and forms necessary for such a prosecution ; and 3, that the court had no power ta call into question the teaching or doctrines of a Regius Professor. The Assessor said that he should reject the pro- test, but refused to order Professor Jowett to appear, and refused to admit articles on the part of the promoters. The practical effect of this decision will be to dismiss the case. Mr Latimer gave notice of appeal. SWIMMING.— H. Gardner will accept Donovan's challenge to swim 12 lengths of the Lambeth Baths, for £ 50 a side. H. G. wilL be at Beckwith's, Post Office Stores, Kennington- road, on Mon- day night, March 2, prepared to stake and draw up articles. Bell's Life to be final stakeholder. PIGEON FLYING.— Mr Martin, of the Golden Lion, Deri- tend, Birmingham, will fly a match with any fancier in Birming- ham from five to 20 miles, and twirl for the road the morning of flying, for £ 5 or £ 10 a side. Printed and Published by WILLIAM CHARLES CLEMENT, at the Office, 170, Strand, in the Parish of St. Clement Danes, in the City and Liberty of Westminster.— SUNDAY, MAUCII 1, 1863,
