The hotel, from its immediate proximity to the general market place, the Merchants' Exchange and Lace Warehouses, and being in one of the most important thoroughfares of the town ( in the hands of an energetic man of business), must command a large and lucrative trade. It was re- built about fltteen years ago upon the most approved principle; has a commanding frontage; is in thorough substantial and decorative re- pair, and has gas and water laid throughout. The basement comprises an extensive range of rock and other cellars, large and lofty kitchen, very admirably fitted with the usual con- vemences for culinary purposes; with scullery, pantries, larders, stores, wine, ale, and coal cellars. The ground floor consists of a commanding and attractive bar, bar- par- lour, smoking room, back staircase, store- room, water closets, entrance- hall, vestibule and corridor, a spacious and well- lighted staircase, & c, with a large and handsome room fronting to and approached from Clumber- street, with separate entrance and apart from the hotel, now and for some years past used as a wholesale and retail wine and spirit vaults, and well adapted for carrying on an extensive and remunerative business. The first floor contains a spacious, elegant, and lofty room, used as a banquetting or commercial room, well fitted up with plate glass French windows ( opening en a balcony), enriched panelled ceiling, & c, and has adjoining and communicating, by folding doors, a compact and retired room, now appropriated as a coffee room; upper smoking- room, water closet, store- rooms, and a suite of five airy bed- rooms. The second floor comprises two comfortable sitting- rooms and seven sleeping apartments, water closet, See, well arranged. On the upper or top story are eight good bed- rooms and closets. The very great increase of the population of Nottingham during the last ten vears ( and especially on the north side of the town) renders this property an excellent opportunity either for investment or occupation, and if sold, three fourths of the purchase money may remain on security ( if required). Adjacent to the hotel are excellent livery and bait stables. The present tenant's lease will expire on the 24th day of June next; possession can be had on the 25th day of March next. For further particulars, and cards to view, application to Mr George Sparrow, Park- row, Nottingham. • Oats got by Protection. „ . trainers who have valuable horses— especially thorough bred colts and fillies, also foals, who are heavily engaged, and to bring them well to the post— ought to have their hay protected from damp, wet, rain, or dews when in process of making. By this method all sorts of hay can be made, also the colour and flavour preserved, and made as crimp as buiscuit; it will keep for seven years if pressed into cases on the field. Having invented four different sets of PROTECTORS for HAY, they are both cheap and simple in construction, and to get the finest of oats only two of the sets are used for protecting oats after they are cut; by them the colour and flavour is preserved. By the new system of getting hay and oats it will do away with horses having cracked heels and other ailments, so injurious to horses when in training. The subscriber would be glad to show a limited number the whole process. Apply to R. Clark, Davidson's Mains. /^ REAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.— Doncaster YX Spring Meeting.— RETURN TICKETS available for return by any train on any day up to and including Wednesday, March 18. will be issued from London ( King's- cross Station), Peterborough, Notting- ham, Boston, Lincoln, and Horncastle to DONCAffTER, on Saturday, 14th, Sunday, 15th, Monday, 16th, and Tuesdaj-, 17th March.

EXTRAORDINARY CURE of a COUGH.— The following letter has recently been addressed to Mr Powell, from Wm. Boards, Esq, an agriculturist and land agent, residing at Edmonton, Middlesex :— " Nightingale Hall, Edmonton, Dec 10. " DEAR SIR : I have recently suffered much from a most violent cough, Proceeding from a tickling in my chest, which no remedy, out of many resorted to, could allay. My head was constantly aching, and my whole frame entirely shaken. Having seen the good effects of your Balsam of Aniseed in several members of my family, I purchased a small bottle, and when going to bed at night took a teaspoonful in two table spoonfuls of water just warm. The effect was immediate; it arrested the tickling in my chest, I slept well, and arose perfectly re- stored in the morning, with the exception of debility, arising from fatigue by incessant coughing for some days previous." My cough en- tirely left me, and has never returned. Having since heard of a lady in the neighbourhood who for a long time had laboured under a most dis- tressing cough, and who had resorted to every remedy within her know- ledge, I sent the remainder of the bottle to her; and that long- standing, obstinate, and ( as she thought) incurable cough was perfectly cured. You are at perfect liberty to maKe what use you may please oi this communi- cation, as the contents are strictly true.— I " am, dear sir, yeurs very truly, " WM. BOARDS. " To Mr Thes. Powell."

WOOL MARKET.— The public sales of Colonial Wool have com- menced heavily. There has been a fair average attedance of home buyers, but as yet foreign houses have been poorly represented, and the present limited requirements of exporters have had a depressing influ- ence on prices.

Cardinal Antonelli, on account of the arrest of the Chevalier Faussi, his attache, has tendered his resignation to the Pope. Monsignor de Merode is stated to have undermined the influence of Cardinal Antonelli with the Pope, because the Cardinal had opposed what he styled Monsignor de Merode's " follies." Seve- ral other cardinals took the same view, lamenting also the want of caution displayed by his Holiness in asking the hospitality of the English Government, together with his general lack of re- serve. The Chevalier Faussi has been found to be compromised politically with forty others. In Turin the Chamber has voted the Ministers' proposal for a loan by 204 to 32. PORTUGAL. A bill for the abolition of Majorats has been adopted in the Chamber of Deputies by 91 against 10 votes. PRUSSIA. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies Herr Simson vehe- mently attacked the policy of the Government, asking, if the re- establishment of Poland would be a misfortune for Prussia, what more ill- advised step could be taken by the Government than to supply the western powers with a pretence for getting up an European question. Herr Von riybel said it appeared that Count Bernstorff', the Prussian ambassador in London, had not been made fully acquainted with the contents of the convention be- tween Prussia and Russia. This circumstance had given rise to a dangerous deception of Europe. Never before had a more unjus- tifiable game been played with the interests of the country. Herr Von Sybel concluded:—" We desire to preserve the country to our King, and our King to the country." The motion of Herren Hoverbeck and Carlowitz, recommending neutrality in the Polish question, and asking that both Russian soldiers and Polish insur- gents should be disarmed upon entering Prussian territory, was then put and adopted, with a slight modification of the wording, by 246 to 57 votes. The Minister, Von Bismarch Schonhausen, outraged the chamber by denouncing the Opposition as composed MUSIC AND DRAMA. ST JAMES'S THEATRE.— The popularity achieved by Miss B. rad- don's novel, Lady Audley's Secret, has induced the manager pf this theatre to present his patrons with an adaptation of it by Mr George Roberts, and owing to the excellent manner in which it is acted, and to the completeness of the scenic arrangements, its success is unquestionable. The plot of the novel is more closely followed than in productions of a similar nature, the first act being taken up with the return to England of George Talboys ( Mr Gaston Murray), where, in the chambers of his friend Robert Audley ( Mr Arthur Stirling), he hears of the death of his wife. Proceeding with his friend to Audley Court he discovers its mis- tress, Lady Audley ( Miss Herbert), to be | his wife, and after a stormy interview with her, is supposed to meet his death at the ruins of an old well by her means. In the second act we find Robert Audley endeavouring to discover the murderer of Talboys, or in what way he has so mj'steriously disappeared, everything tending to inculpate Lady Audley. Forbidden his uncle's house, and taking refuge in the Chequers Inn, he is driven from hence by the house being set on fire by Lady Audley, who fears and detests him. His escape and meeting with her in the avenue of limes, the denunciations of Luke ( Mr Frank Mat- thews), the gamekeeper, who had witnessed the fatal interview, the reappearance of Talbays, and the sinking to insanity of the terrible lady, bring the drama to a conclusion. All the interest centres, of course, in the character of lady Audley, and Miss Herbert did full justice to the author and adaptor's most tragic conception. Nothing could be more intense and startling than her defiance of those she believes to be her foes, whilst the strange fascinations by which she enthrals Sir Michael Audley were as gracefully and positively rendered. Mr Stirling played with much energy, and exhibited true manly pathos when his lost friend is restored to him at the close of the drama. Mr Frank Matthews, as Luke, was hearty and determined, though the part was somewhat out of his usual line. The scenery was beautiful, the " Library at Audley Court" and the " Avenue of the Limes" being painted by Mr Beverley with all that attention to extreme pictorial illusion, which is one of his specialities, and for which he had to make his bow to the crowded audience. The drama will, doubtless, have a long run, and all lovers of good acting will do well to see Miss Herbert enact a character of so metaphysically ef men inimical to the honour and interests of Prussia; and when the President said he could not permit such language, the complex a nature as that of Lady Audley. Minister defied him and the chamber, saying that he had the ADELPHI THEATRE.— Mr Webster allows of so long an interval right to speak there as the Minister of the King, and that he j to elapse in his appearances before the footlights that, when he spoke without reference to the chamber, or its wishes, or its authority. The chamber submitted to hear him. POLAND AND ROSSIA. The Grand Duke Const antine has been appointed commander- in- chief of the troops in Poland. All the papers agree that the Russian troops commit the most savage atrocities. This is partly in obedience to the brutal order of the Czar, who has commanded that the insurrection shall be suppressed within a limited period at any price, and partly in consequence of the practice of bring- ing the wretched troops into action infuriated by liquor. Never- theless, in many of the small actions which have been fought the Poles have been entirely successful. SWEDEN. A 1 arge meeting in favour of the Polish insurrection was held in the Exchange, under the presidency of Baron Raab. Baron Hamilton was the mover of the resolutions. The chief editor of the Alton JBlad and seven leading members of the Chamber were the principal speakers. Energetic resolutions were adopted, fa- vourable to the liberty of Poland, and condemnatory of the Prussian convention with Russia. TURKEY. The Levant Herald announces that a compromise has been brought about in the Montenegrin question, upon the understand- ing that forts should be constructed at the termini of the military road through Montenegro, instead of frequent blockhouses. The Exhibition is opened. Ismail Pasha, the new " Viceroy of Egypt, has been invested with the rank of Grand Vizier. 3arU's ILtfr m Hontion- LONDON, SUNDAY, MARCH 8. THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA. There can be little doubt that before a very magnificent spec- tacle is put upon the stage to excite the admiration and win the applause of the spectators there are many little bickerings be- tween the managers of the various parts of it. Some, of course, seek to be masters over all, and the fear of a total failure is, per- haps, that which alone brings the rival parties to reason. This seems to have been the case with the managers of that procession which is to be the outward manifestation of England's hearty wel- come to the Princess Alexandra on her coming to take 011 herself the character and duties of an English princess. Sir George Grey wanted to have everything his own way, but the City authorities, though not quite so great as foreigners suppsse them to be, have defeated him. The whole affair might have been marred by his persistence, and so he has been obliged to give way. He was de- cidedly in the wrong; they were not entirely in the right. Pub- lic opinion settled the difference, and the settlement has been offi- cially adopted. So, about the time that these remarks go forth to the thousands of our readers all over the country, London will have shown how deeply its heart has been stirred by the advent of a young lady from whose coming it hopeB for all good, and for whom it desires all happiness. That young lady takes on her- self not merely the private duties of a wife, but the public duties of a great state personage. Yet, let her not be alarmed. All nations are favourable towards princes, and England not the least so of any. Indeed, at this time England must fairly be considered the most so of all. With the most un- restrained liberty for the expression of thought, not one sound is heard except that of hopeful gratulation. The manly heart of the country softens like that of a loving father at the approach of the young bride, and its sympathies with her hopes, its hopes in her sympathies, are all the stronger because they are entirely free. There is but one desire, and there is but one hope, a hope so potent as to assume the character of a belief, that the enthu- siastic welcome she receives on her arrival may, so far as she, her husband, and the nation are concerned, be but the dawn of one life- long day of content and happiness. PRUSSIA. The freaks of the Minister here are such as to cause surprise in every one, and, if the Prussians were other than they are, would fill the friends of the monarchy with consternation. But there is no danger to the monarchy in Prussia. The King may play the game of Charles I. and of Louis XVI. ( without their hypocrisy), but he will not thereby endanger his crown, still less his life. The state of Prussia is not revolutionary. It does not re- semble that of England in 1640, or thatof France inl780. There are no men in Prussia who can be compared to those giants that arose in England, and left the impress of their moral greatness on the world: there are no such men as those who in France possessed the eloquence and energy to shake to pieces a royal and priestly despotism, nor ( we add this with pleasure) are there such official and class cruelties in Prussia as drove the French population to madness. The contest in Prussia is simply one of principle, and the recent debates in the Chamber show that the want of political education in that country has left that question but little under- stood What is understood is that the representatives of the people ought to have the control over the taxation of the people; but beyond this great and unmistakable matter the leaders of the Opposition seem to have but a very misty idea of what is re- quired. On the other side, the Minister seems equally ignorant. He confounds the title of the King to command the army, with the right to fix its numbers and to raise the money for its support. The pressure on our space at this moment prevents a detailed notice of the debates, else they might be referred to as rivalling, in some instances, the spirit— and the wisdom— © f the exhibitions of a country fair. M Bismarck Schonhausen will not be called to order by the President of the Chamber, because, though he does not deny that he is uttering gross personalities, he asserts his right to utter them, or anything else, as the Minister of the King, without regard to the opinions, wishes, or rules of the chamber. And then, when the pertinacious Minister had scared the Chamber into allowing him a triumph, M Vincke, the great leader of the Opposition, astonished, but did not delight, the Chamber with a political gyration that threw the most agile feats of Blondin into insignificance. He wanted an English Ministry, b-- wanted an English Upper House, he censured the Minister {<£ Speech, yet he agreed with every object that speech had in m-, especially the combination with Russia in opposing Poland, • Jt^ u finally declared his pleasure in seeing M Bismarck as Minis- ter. Of all these statements of opinion there is, perhaps, but one as to which M Vincke has a clear idea of what he does want, and that is thatjhe wants an English Upper House, in which he thinks, no doubt, he should figure as a great peer, entitled by hereditary Tight to legislate for the country. There is much reason from M " Vincke's erratic career— now brilliant, now turbid, sometimes good and anon mischievous, but without any such steady prin- ciple'to guide it as to enable any careful observer to declare before hand what course he would take on any great constitutional ques- tion— to come to the opinion that in the perception of the grave duties of the Peerage his mind is deficient. In the mean time the contest in Prussia between royal prero- gative and popular control over taxation continues, yet no one seems to have understood that that question is intimately bound up with the present insurrection in Poland, and that to counte- nance, or even to tolerate, the King in his combination with Russia to put down the Poles, is but to afford him the pretext and the means to be master of the Chamber by being the uncontrolled master of the army. THE PRINCIPALITIES. The entire draft of the address proposed by the Opposition was adopted by 58 to 6. Fifty members abstained from voting, de- claring that they would not concur in an address bringing into discussion the prince elected by the whole country, and which questioned his rights, the national institutions, and existing treaties. They stated further that the address of the Opposition contains portions which cannot fail to create doubts as to the ' wisdom of the Roumain nation, and of their feelings of gratitude towards the powers who have guaranteed the present organisation of the Principalities. AMERICA. The Senate has passed a bill authorising the President, in all domestic and foreign wars, to issue letters of marque. The au- thority conferred by this act is limited to three years. A pro- posal to grant this authority for the suppression of the rebellion only was voted down during the discussion of the bill. Mr M'Dougal, of California, expressed his opinion that before the meeting of another Congress the United States would be involved in a foreign war, and he wished the country to be prepared. The Federal commanders of the vessels blockading Charleston declare that they never quitted the blockading line usually occupied by them, and that no vessel of any description crossed the bar after the Confederate rams returned to Charleston. The resolution calling a convention at Louisville lias been defeated in the Senate of the Illinois Legislature. A resolution has been introduced in the Confederate Congress to maintain the right to free naviga- tion of the Mississippi for the citizens of the states upon its borders or the borders of its tributaries. The Alabama arrived at Kingston, Jamaica, on Feb 22, and landed the crew of the steamer Hatteras. Captain Semn. es has received marked at- tention from the inhabitants; he left after coaling and slightly repairing. The Senate has passed a Conscription Bill, renderingall citizens, and those who have declared their intention to become citizens, between the ages of 20 and 45 years, liable to perform military duty when called out by the President The districts are made to correspond with the congressional districts, in each of which a provost marshal is appointed, with assistance. He will perfect an enrolment once a year. Persons enrolled are subject for two years to be called into service to serve ' or three years or during the war, on the same footing with the present volunteers, advance pay and bounty included. The President can draft at any time, with ten days' notice to drafted men. Substitutes may be fur- nished or commutation made, none exceeding 300 dollars. Drafted persons refusing to report will be treated as deserters. A rumour is current in Richmond of a programme in the North- west for forming a North- western Confederacy. Resolutions have been introduced into the Confederate Congress that President Davis shall on the 1st of May next withdrav the diplomatic agents from foreign capitals the Governments of which shall not then have recognised the South. Also that af; er May next foreign consuls shall not be allowed to exercise any power in the Con- federate States except upon an exequatur asked from and granted by the Confederate Government. Two members from Louisiana have been admitted to seats in the House of Representatives. The Senate of the New York Legislature has rejected the complimentary resolutions to General M'Clellan. General M'Clellan has been appointed Comminder- in- Chief of the army of the United States. The New York Times says that Go- vernment will take the ground that any recogiition of Southern independence by foreign nations, so long as tie North continues the contest, will be equivalent to a declaratim of war, and the Government will follow it up by correspondiig acts. The New York Times has little doubt of the recognition of the South by Francewithin the next two months, to be followed or accompanied by the breaking of the blockade. It does not doubt that the Americans, without distinction of party, will meet this hostile outrage upon their independence and honour witi the most reso- lute defiance, and says, " The Conscription Li 11 will enable America to defy any power France may send." Tie same journal declares M Mercier to have been an enemy of the lederal Govern- ment and an ally of the rebels since the commeicement of the war, and urges his recal. In the Southern Statfs a resolution has also been offered that the conduct of the Emptror Napoleon in offering the mediation of the European powe- s was highly gratifying to the Government and the people of tht Confederate States, and that the hope is indulged that the Empenr's wise and magnanimous movement may soon eventuate in the etablishment of relations of close commercial amity and enduring concord be- tween the French Government and the Confederate States.— The Northern House of Representatives has disagreed tc nearly all the amendments of the Senate to the Finance Bill. Tie amend- ment, however, providing that the interest on the 100,000,000 dollars interest bearing Treasury notes shall be paic in legal tender notes instead of coin, was adopted, but not the amendment reducing the amount of legal tender notes from 300,000,0) 0 dollars to 100,000,000 dollars.— The Hartford Connecticut Democratic Convention has passed resolutions against Congressional and Federal usurpations of the rights of the States. They cenounce secession, but declare that the time has arrived to abaidon the monstrous fallacj' that the Union can be restored by armed bands, and they pledge themselves to co- operate with tie con- servatives of the middle and Western States to adopt all tonour- able measures for the cessation of hostilities and the recon- struction of the Union on terms thoroughly defining the State rights. They farther declare the Conscription Bill unconstitu- tional, and urge the authorities of each State to sternly resit its operation. They denounce the banking scheme, the emanci- pation proclamation of President Lincoln, the suspension of the Habeas Corpus, and the interference with the press ; and declare that they will use all their influence to prevent the payment by the people of a single dollar for compensted emancipation. MEXICO. The Paris correspondent of the Express says:—" I learn fron authority which I implicitly rely upon that the Government has i;- ceived most embarrassing news from Mexico. General Fory despairs of taking Puebla without a much larger army than th one which he at present commands. He says the fortifications as very strong, and have been much improved of late. He could gt round Puebla and march upon Mexico, but would not answer to; the result of that measure. He testifies that the universal feeling does revisit the boards, he is sure to be greeted with a hearty and sincere ovation. The public can ill spare so good an actor, and when, on Monday last, he played the part ef Mr William Pen- holder, in the pathetic little drama of " One Touch of Nature," the enthusiasm knew no bounds. This charming piece has been played throughout the week, with " The Grey Mare," " A Valen- tine," and the burlesque portion of " George De Barnwell," the pantomimic business being suspended, with the exception of the acrobatic gambols of Arthur and Bertrand. " Aurora Floyd,'' a new drama founded on the novel of that name, is in active re- hearsal, Miss Avonia Jones being specially retained to sustain the principal part, so that Miss Braddon's popularity bids fair to have a theatrical as well as a literary run with the town. STRAND THEATBE.— A new comedietta, written by Mr Craven, was produced at this theatre on Monday; and as the incidents are novel, and the ideas ingeniously fashioned and carried out, " My Preserver,'' its name, was successful, and will have a run. Bilberry, a rustic ( Mr Parselle), saves a young lady, Miss Estelle Fitzwater ( Miss Ada Swanborough), from drowning, and when, en going to receive a reward for his service, he is told that the lady will marry her preserver, determines to comply with this cheerful arrangement, although his affections are plighted to Dolly, a country lassie ( Miss Charlotte Saunders). The lady has another claimant for her hand in the person of a Mr William Bury ( Mr Belford), and he, in order to carry his point, makes fierce love to Dolly, which so rouses the jealousy of the rustic swain, that he relinquishes his pretensions to espouse the rescued fair one, who is enabled to keep her word, inasmuch as a doctor informs her that it was William Bury who ordered her a warm bath after her ducking, and thus preserved her life. This neat little piece was remarkably well acted, Miss Ada Swanborough playing the heroine with much vivacity, and Miss Marshall, as her maid, being saucy and sharp, as such maids should be. Mr Parselle astonished the audience by his assump- tion of the rustic character. Mr Belford, and Mr Ray, as the lady's guardian, made the most of their parts, but to Miss Charlotte Saunders must the meed of praise be awarded for her unique re- presentation of an honest, hearty country girl, whose looks and actions were the reflex of one another. If only to see this most original and excellent artiste in a new line of character, " My Pre- server,'' will repay a visit to this temple of Momus. OLYMPIC THEATBE.— The managers have revived the little drama of " A Husband to Order," and presented it with an en- tirely new cast of characters, which may be pronounced an im- provement on the original, Mr Neville being a most genial repre sentative of Pierre Marceau, and Miss Kate Saviile a ladylike and graceful Ellen. The farce of " The Lottery Ticket," in which Mr Itobson makes the bitterness of Wormwood's character most amusingly conspicuous, follows; and, with the burlesque of " Robin Hood," has served as a good bill of fare for the week. MABRIAGE CANTATA.— It is said that Mr Macfarren, the eminent composer, has written a cantata in honour of the royal nuptials, and that it will possibly be rendered by the Covent- garden company, Miss Louisa Pyne singing the principal solos. LORD DUNDEEABY.— Mr Sothern has had the honour of per- forming three times before the Prince of Wales, and once before the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Prussia, as the inane Dundreary. No custom stales the infinite variety of this unique conception of character; neither town nor country seem to tire of its representation ; court and courtiers delight in it, and the list- less swells and the thick- sculled bumpkins alike roar over its ex- quisite absurdities. PRINCESS'S THEATEE.— Miss Braddon's Aurora Floyd is to be brought out as a drama at this theatre on Monday, March 9, and every preparation has been made to produce it with every com- pleteness of stage effect. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY ROOMS, HIGH HOLBOBN.— We have o draw the attention of our raiders to Mr Packer's annual benefit bal masque., which has been, we think wisely, fixed for the eve of the Prince's marriage, when the patrons of this establishment are promised something more brilliant than any fete that has hitherto been attempted. The band will be considerably augmented, and will perform a pleasing variety of new music, chiefly composed for this special occasion; whilst the interior of this salon dedanse, acknowledged to be the most elegant in Europe ( the cost of deco- rating and fitting which has been enormous), will present a sur- passingly brilliant appearance. SUSPECTED POISONING AT BRIGHTON.— On Tuesday William Sturt was brought before the borough bench at the Town Hall, on the charge of wilfully administering poison to a woman, Mary Ann Day, by which she came by her death, on Sunday, Feb 22. The accused seemed to treat the matter with the greatest indif- ference. He is a very respectable- looking man, apparently about fifty years of age He had been brought up on Monday, when sufficient evidence was given to justify a remand.— After the exa- mination of some witnesses, Professor Taylor gave the result of his examination of the stomach and other parts of the deceased, which had been submitted to him for analysis. After describing minutely the processes which he had employed, he stated the conclusions to which he had arrived, as follows:— First, that the appearances presented by the stomach and intestines of the de- ceased, namely, inflammation and softening of the lining mem- brane, with eff usion of blood and mucus, are such as are produced by an irritant poison like arsenic. Secondly, that the con- tents of the stomach, namely, blood, mucus, and detached portions of the lining membrane, are such as result from the action of arsenic in a large dose. Thirdly, that the white mineral substance found on the lining membrane of the stomach, in the mucus and blood, as well as in the sediment of the contents, was arsenious acid, or white arsenic— the ordinary poison. Fourthly, that the quantity thus diffused in a visible form in the stomach and sediment of its contents was not less than from three to five grains. Fifthly, that taking into con- sideration the appearances presented by the stomach and intes- tines, as well as the detection of arsenic in those parts and in the liver and spleen, I am of opinion that the deceased died from the effects of arsenic, and that this poison had been taken in a solid form, i. e. in powder unmixed with soot or indigo. I think the arsenic could not have been taken in a solution. I am sure some of it could not, because if it had been so taken it would not again have assumed the solid form in which I found it. From the small quantity found in the liver I think it must have been taken within twenty- four hours of death. I may also say that I received some mincemeat on tke 26th, which I examined, and found no trace of arsenic.— By Mr Scott: It would be possible for the inflammation to have set in in a much shorter space of time than twenty- four hours. I have heard all the evidence, and I think the poison was taken about twenty- four hours before death. I am of opinion that the poison could not have been taken on the Saturday, and from all the evidence I am of opinion that it was taken after she went out. When the stomach is empty the symp- toms of the presence of arsenic in the stomach generally come on in half an hour or an hour from the time it is taken. I cannot say what quantity was taken, because of the vomiting and purging, but I found enough to kill another person besides. On Tuesday afternoon, at the close of the magisterial investigation, the coroner for the borough, Mr D. Black, proceeded with the adjourned inquest, when the evidence given before the magistrates was repeated and some other testimony adduced. The inquiry lasted till ten o'clock, when the jury retired, and after a delibe- ration of half an hour returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against William Sturt. The coroner then made out the warrant of committal, and the prisoner, who remained at the Brighton lock- up till Thursday, was then conveyed to Lewes gaol, to await his trial at the ensuing assizes. It seems that the prisoner and deceased, who was a widow, had been keeping company, and were about to be married. It was supposed that the prisoner was jealous, and he was seen to give the deceased a mincepie, which she ate, and this was the last thing she did eat before she died, and she told her children that she was very sick atter eating it. This was the circumstance that led to suspicion first resting on the prisoner. MURDER IN SHBOPSHIEE.— A man named Cooper, a farm la- bourer at Baschurch, near Shrewsbury, has been committed for trial for murdering his own son, John Cooper, a poor miserable of the population is most hostile to the French, and that the Go- trial ior muraermg nis own son, « jonn uooper, a poor miserable vprnmwrit of Juarez, whatever mav be its faults, is the best that cripple. It appeared he had conceived a strong _ disl> ke to the vernment of Juarez, whatever may be its faults, is the best that -- , . . , . . , ,. , . , ,, Mexico has had for a long time. In conclusion, he recommends b° y- to get^ people to^ take^ him^ off his^ hands^ but 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 Emperor tells General Forey that, in the present state of Europe, he cannot spare more troops for Mexico." A New York paper says:—" The French were driven from Flacotalpan, 50 miles south- west from Vera Cruz, and took refuge on board a steamer, leaving several killed." BAILY'S MAGAZINE [ Baily and Co, Cornhill].— A brief memoir of Mr W. Selby Lowndes, one of the oldest masters of foxhounds, illustrated with a capital portrait, opens the March number of Baily, which is followed up by an article from the pen of the " Gentleman in Black," entitled " The M. F. H.'' " Gorse Whip- per," in an amusing article, headed " Thistle Whipping versus Gorse Whipping," pays a just tribute to the merits of some hunting articles which have lately appeared in our columns from our intelligent correspondent " iEsop" ( of Hants), and " Our Van" flits merrily along over the varied doings of the past month. FIBE AND LOSS OF THBEE LIVES AT DOVEB.— On Tuesday morning a fire of an alarming nature broke out in a block of pre- mises in Market- square, opposite the Museum at Dover, and resulted in the deaths of three ( a maid servant and two children) and the destruction of the houses— one the Alhambra Music Hall, and the other two occupied by Mr Froggat, butcher, and Mr Burrows, pork butcher. The houses were all built on the ruins ef the old cloister of St Martin's, the wall of the ancient priory forming the back of the premises. There was thus no means of escape from the rear, and it is to this unfortunate circumstance that the loss of life is to be attributed. When the fire was discovered the borough fire brigade and the engines of the garrison were promptly brought into requisition. The borough fire escape was brought to the spot just in time to prevent a young woman who was on the roof of Mr Froggat's premises throwing herself off. She was safely got down from her perilous position, and the rest of the inmates of the same house, as well as the persons belonging to the music hall, managed to effect their escape uninjured. While this was going forward Mr Burrows came to the front of his house, exclaiming, " Oh, God, my poor children!" It was then ascertained that two children and a ser- vant girl were still in a bedroom at the back of the premises. Mr Coram and some of his assistants immediately proceeded to the rear, and made every possible attempt to rescue the victims, but without success. The flames had completely enveloped the room in which they were contained, and in a few minutes the floor gave way, and was lost in the burning mass which held possession _ r ^ i... I .. , ( , K,. At- ' < 1 *" t i>\< r} 1 i! On Sunday, Feb 22, he took the boy away to Han- wood, saying he was going to leave him with a cousin, who had promised to take charge of him. He afterwards returned with- ut him, but suspicions were aroused which induced the police -> institute inquiries, and it was found that Cooper and the child « d go to Hanwood, and slept at the cottage of a relative. On te following morning Cooper called at a blacksmith's shop with hi boy, and asked the nearest way to Baschurch, and was seen g( ng in that direction. At two o'clock on the afternoon of the saie day Cooper, alone, called at a cottage near Baschurch, and ased to borrow a spade. Soon after three o'clock he arrived at hii master's house, without the child.— Superintendent Ibins, thiking he had sufficient cause to warrant him in apprehending thenan, took Cooper at a farm at Tetchill, near Ellesmere, ana on iking him before the magistrate to be remanded, Cooper said he lid sold the child to a tramp for half- a- crown. On Thursday and'riday week the policemade a diligent search along the line of cuntry traversed by Cooper between Hanwood and Bas- churi; and at a place called Ash Coppice, near to the cottage wher he borrowed the spade, they found the murdered body of the cipple, buried in a hole which had evidently been recently dug ad covered up with fresh earth. ATHMPT TO ASSASSINATE A RESIDENT MAGISTBATE.— As Mr Jon Gore Jones, R. M., was proceeding from Thorles to Bor- risoleih on Tuesday, March 3, to attend the petty sessions, he was stpped by two armed men 011 the road when about halfway, who flil at him. Mr Jones was uninjured, but the mark of a bullet as found in his overcoat. Mr Jones went on to Borri- soleighmd apprised the constabulary of the outrage, who were shortly fterwards at the spot where it occurred, but found no trace of he intended assassins. No motive can be assigned for the act, scept that Mr Jones was the magistrate who took the in- formatic in Colonel Knox's case last year. Some time since he received threatening notice. The Dxiblin Mail says:—" We are happy tcsay that a telegram has been received in town stating that a mn* named Philip Hayes, has been arrested at Temple- more Raw ay station, where he was endeavouring to obtain a seat in tl early train to Dublin. He appeared to have made preparatids for a long journey. He was fully identified by Mr Jones as ne of the persons who fired at him on Tuesday, March 3. Hayes as been committed to Nenagh gaol for trial at the assizes, whjh will shortly commence." GBOSVE> B RIDING SCHOOL.— Inexperienced equestrians will derive grea advantage from a visit to this well- appointed esta- blishment, ; South- street, recently re- opened under entirely new nianagemen The stud is a capital and extensive one, the prac- tising area ispacious, and above all there is the facility, imme- of the lower part of the premises. At eight o'clock, after the . _ u r , flames were extinguished, the charred remains of all three were ! diately afte: taking lessons, of riding directly from the school found, and from their position it is believed they had left their into the pat-. The quietude of the situation, and the subdued beds, and were endeavouring to make their escape from the room when the floor fell in. The children were aged respectively nine and seven years, and the servant was about seventeen. The Standard, Nov 15, speaking of Benson's watches in the Exhibition, says:—" It has evidently been Mr Benson's object to render them rivals in point of beauty of decoration to the elegant Swiss knicknacks, and at the same time to preserve the charac- teristics of an English watch— strength, durability, and accuracy In point of decoration his watches are certainly unsurpassed."

C. commanded a large attendance of members on Wednesday evening, March 4, at the Club- house, Albemarle- street; the noble com- modore, Lord A. Paget, M. P., in the chair. Some forty members and friends had previously assembled at the house dinner. The secretary read both the January and February minutes, which were unanimously confirmed. The report of the com- mittee was also read, and after some discussion was ultimately adopted. The period for the annual election of officers having returned, the noble commodore, Lord A. Paget, M. P., was unanimously re- elected. His lordship returned thanks. The office of vice- commodore having to be filled up, a long discussion took place on the propriety of at once electing a vice- commodore in lieu of the late lamented Mr Green. After a long debate it was agreed that a special general meeting should be held the first Wednesday in April, to select a vice- commodore from a list of candidates, whose names and pro- posers must be put up in the club room one fortnight previously. The re- election of the treasurer then took place, and Mr Hutchons returned thanks. The re- election of the secretary was adjourned to the special general meeting in April, when the cup- bearer, auditors, and general committee will also have to be elected. The sum of £ 10 was unanimously voted to the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Royal Benevolent Society. Ten gen- tlemen, including Col Hagge, C. B., Pauline cutter, and the Rev T. Vernon Tipping, Vigilant cutter, were, at the conclusion of the ballot, elected members. The following rule was altered as regards the vexed question of shiftingballast, viz, that Rule XIII. of the sailing regulations shall stand as follows: viz, " That no ballast be shifted during a match; that no water ballast be al- lowed ; that no bags of shot or other ballast prepared for shifting be allowed to be on board; that all ballast shall be under the plat- form, or in lockers, and that the platform, and lockers be sealed down by a person appointed for the occasion by the acting officer of the club ; no more than the usual anchors and chains shall be al- lowed to be carried during the match." The following is the sailing programme, 1863, the total amount of prizes offered being £ 520:— Opening trip on Saturday, May 16. Yachts to assemble at Blackwall at two p. m., and sail thence in company to Gravesend. Dinner at Pallister's at six o'clock. First match on Thursday, May 28, for cutters of the first and third classes, viz, first class, exceeding 35 tons, prize value £ 100, to second boat ( if four start) prize value £ 50; third class, exceed- ing 12 and not exceeding 20 tons, prize value £ 40, with a prize value £ 20 to second boat ( if four start), half minute time per ton allowed in each class. Course: From Erith round the Nore and return. Entries to close on Thursday, May 21, at ten p. m. Second match, on Thursday, June 11, for cutters of the second and fourth classes, viz, second class exceeding 20 and not exceed- ing 35 tons, first boat prize value £ 50, with a prize value £ 20 to second boat ( if four start); fourth class 7, and not exceeding 12 tons, prize value £ 30, with a £ 10 prize to second boat ( if four start); half minute time per ton for difference of tonnage in each class; course from Erith round the Nore and return. Entries to close on Thursday, June 4, at ten p. m. And on the same day, an extra match, for vessels of 20 tons and upwards ( any rig), and which have never won a prize; to sail with the usual fittings in cruising trim to the satisfaction of the committee; first prize value £ 40, with a prize value £ 10 to the second vessel ( if four start) ; course, time for tonnage, and last night of entry, the same as for the second and fourth classes. Fourth ( schooner) match, on Saturday, June 27, open to schooners of all royal yacht clubs; first class, exceeding 100 tons, prize value £ 100; second class, not exceeding 100 tons, prize value £ 50; no time allowance for difference of tonnage; course, from Gravesend round the Mouse and return; entries to close Thurs- day, June 18, at ten p. m. light prevailig in the building, impart the necessary confidence to timid or nt'ous pupils, and the spot is peculiarly exempt from the chance 0 external interruptions. That the arrangements would be of description calculated to ensure comfort and im- provement wato be expected from the reputation of the proprie- tors, Mr Maugy, of Maurigy's Hotel; and Mr Henderson, the well- knowri', onnoisseur and " consulting counsel" in matters relating to the MalitieB and capabilities of horsefiesh. This ex- pectation will bfound realised, and one of the results is that the place is resorted^ by members of the highest circles in society, who bring theiiamilies with them, and from the gallery have an opportunity < witnessing their progress in equitation. To the fair sex it ma be interesting to know that Mrs Henderson is one of the most - jcomplished of our lady equestrians, and the managers have aopted the judicious plan of appropriating the mid- day hours— ftm eleven to four o'clock— to the visits of ladies, gentlemen not b< ng admitted during these hours, but in the early morning an again in the afternoon, A stud of beautiful ponies is attached > the establishment. PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB. The monthly meeting of this club will be held at the club house, Freemasons' Tavern, on Friday, March 13, at 8 p. m. pre- cisely. The annual election of officers will take place at this meeting, and the club will have to appoint the days for sailing the matches of this season. The following gentlemen will be balloted for:— Messrs W. J. Vaughan, 57j, Old Broad- street; F. Rosonam, Southampton, yacht, 10 tons; G. Harrison, Birken- head, yacht Diana, 82 tons. The opening trip will take place on Thursday, April 2. Yachts to start from off the Brunswick Pier, Blackwall, at three o'cleck p. m. precisely, and proceed to Erith, where the members and their friends will dine at the Pier Hotel, at six o'clock. Members intending to dine on that occasion must send notice three days previously to the treasurer, Orchard- place, or to Mr J. Burton, 182, Pentonville- road, N. ROYAL ST GEORGE'S YACHT CLUB, TB. iyr. ATrn On Monday, March 2, the annual reading out dinner of this club was held at the club house, Kingstown; there was, as usual, a very numerous attendance, and much interest was evinced in the pro- ceedings. Vice- Commodore Henry presided, ably supported by E. J. Armstrong in the vice- chair. Amongst the members pre- sent were the Hon G. Handcock, Colonel Atkinson, Captain Goff, Captain H. Jackson, W. R. Latouche, L. Balfour, T. Chamber- layne, B. Irwin, E. Hornsby, Captain D. Thompson, C. Barring- ton, & c. A most admirable repast was served up, complete in all its details, which elicited the unqualified approbation of all pre- sent, and fully sustained the reputation of the house steward and chef de cuisine. After the cloth was drawn the usual loyal toasts were given, that of the Prince of Wales and his intended bride being specially honoured. The ceremony of reading out was then proceeded with by the Vice- Commodore, when only two members lost the number of their mess, and will cease ts be on the roll of the club, unless satisfactory explanations can be afferded in each ease. A number of yachting subjects were touched, the building and changing ownership of vessels, and other matters of interest were discussed. The Vice- Commodore announced that, from various communications made to him there seemed to be a general feeling in all yacht clubs that shifting ballast should be strictly prohi- bited in sailing matches, and it is expected that this rule will be promulgated before the rules for the several regattas are made public. The festivities were kept up to an advanced hour, when a special train conveyed a numerous party back to Dublin. The regatta at Kingstown this year will be under the auspices and man- agement of the Royal Irish Yacht Club. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The next general meeting of this club will be held at the Pier Hotel, Chelsea, on Wednesday, March 11, at nine o'clock. The annual election of officers took place at the last meeting, and the following gentlemen were re- elected :— Col Evelyn, commodore ; Mr Ingram Pick, vice- commodore; Mr H. Lenthall, treasurer; Mr Charles R. Teague, hon sec; Mr Arthur Jago, cupbearer. The committee will recommend the following resolution for adoption at the next meeting. Kesolved: " that this club adverts with deep regret to the circumstances attending the last ballot for members, and desires to express its entire disapproval of the irre- gularities which then took place. That the club laments that any member should so use his influence as to procure the rejection of any candidate for membership from private and extraneous mo- tives, making this club the instrument of his personal resentment, a proceeding unwarrantable in the individual and detrimental to the club. The club further by this resolution desires to repudiate all sympathy with the private motives referred to, and anxiously exhorts members, by avoiding such motives of action for the fnture, to maintain unsullied the honour and purity of the club." In consequence of the marriage of the Prince of Wales occurring only the day antecedent to the meeting, the officers trust that the members and friends will assemble in large numbers at the dinner previous to such meeting, in order to celebrate the auspicious event. Therefore gentlemen intending to do so, or to introduce visitors, must give notice to that effect to Mr Golding, the Pier Hotel, not later than Tuesday, March 10. The following gentle- men will be balloted for on Wednesday evening, March 11:— Mr G. Harrison, Birkenhead, yachts Diana, 82 tons, and Vision, 8 tons ^ Mr T. H. Holbrook, Manor- street, Chelsea; Mr A. C. Lee, 270, King's- road, Chelsea; and Mr F. Parsey, 10, Great Cheyne- row, Chelsea. PERFORMANCES OF WINNING YACHTS. We have been requested to correct an error in our list last week, in which we represented the Circe as beaten by the Flying Cloud in a race for the Town Prize of £ 80, at Plymouth. The error arose from the match having been sailed twice over, on account of want of wind on the first day, when the Flying Cloud did beat the Circe. The Circe did not sail on the second day. We have also received a letter complaining that the name of the Wanderer, of Yarmouth, 9 tons, does not appear, and it is stated that she sailed eleven times, winning eleven prizes, amounting to £ 125. The reason why her name dees not appear is, that we are obliged to draw a line somewhere, and omit some minor matches — those, for instance, of the Model Yacht Club at Liverpool— and accordingly we have omitted the matches of the Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Clubs; but perhaps we did draw the line too fine, and we will reconsider the matter in our " Performances, & c, for 1863." I The Heroine mentioned is not, as we imagined, the old Heroine, buJt a new vessel of 48 tons, built last year by Wanhill, for J. C. Atki.' is. We a/ e much obliged to a correspondent, " J. A. L.,'' for many correction^ and additions, but most of them apply to minor matches, whjch we do not include, and to vessels only taking second prizes, and » therefore, in our estimation, not wirniii.

ANNUAL MEETING.— The last meeting of this club for the winter season, or the annual meeting, was held on Wednesday evening, March 4, the late captain, Mr F. Playford, in the chair, faced by Mr R. I>. Price. After the reading and confirmation of the minutes of the February meeting, Messrs E. A. Collinge, Barnes, Surrey; R. Cobb, 80, Harley- street, Cavendish- square: and William Harrison, 34, Wesfbouriie- terrace, were unanimously elected members of the club. The election of officers was then proceeded with as follows:— Mr Freeman proposed the re- election of Mr James Layton as president. The club had flourished so well under his presidency that they could not possibly have a better man.— Mr Ryan seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously.— Mr Holman proposed, and Mr Schlotel seconded, the re election of Mr Edmund Beltour as vice- president. Carried unanimously.— Mr Schlotel moved, Mr lies seconded, and it was carried unanimously, that Messrs John Ireland and James S. Virtue be re- elected treasurers.— Mr F. Playford then observed, the duties they had just performed were, in a measure, matters of form, but they now came to a much more im- portant one, thatof electing a captain for the present year. He had already told them tiiat he should not offer himself again for the post. He abided by that decision, and they must now appoint another gentleman. Ttie committee had taken considerable trouble to ascertain the feeling of the members generally upon the subject, and several gentlemen had been named as eligible for the office, but the leaning, as far as he could ascertain was cer- tainly in favour of Mr Charles Boydell. He did not seek to dic- tate to them in any way as to the choice they should make, but he took the privelege, not as their late captain, but as an inde- pendent. member, 01 proposing Mr Boydell as the person most fitted to undertake the onerous duties 01 captain. In electing him they would elect a most efficient officer, a gentleman who had done much already for the club, and would ao much more, and who he was sure would devote all the time arid attention he possibly could to the office. Several gentlemen rose at the same instant to second Mr Boydell, who was elected amidst loud and long- continued cheers. The appointment of the committee was then proceeded with ( Messrs G. Holman and W. Lowe retiring), and resulted in the following gentlemen being appointed, the old thirteen being re- elected, viz:— Messrs T. Burrowes, jun, F. B. Catty, H. N. Custance, J. P. Davis, I{. G. Freeman, F. Eenner, A. Hodgson, H. Hood, E. C. Morley, J. Owen, F. Playford, H. H. Playtord, R. D. Price, G. Ryan, and C. Schloteh The no- tices 01 motion proposed ut the last meeting were next proceeded with.— Mr Burrowes proposed that Rule 11 be rescinded; it reads as follows:—" That the committee have power of waiving the entrance fee to any candidate who for two years immediately pre- ceding liis election to this club shall have been a member of some other rowing club, not being an honorary member of the same." Mr Burrowes was supported oy Messrs H. Burrowes, Hoiman, Os- good,| D. H. Owen, andF. Play lord; andopposed by Messrs Dickens, Herbert Playford, lies, . Ryan, Muzio, Power, and Freeman, but without attempting to go into the discussion, in which many re- marks were made which could not fail to be objectionable to several members in the room who were introduced into the club under rule 11, we content ourselves by saying that the motion was lost by 21 to 17.— Mr F. Playford then moved " That the same memuers be ineligible for the offices of Captain and Hon. Secretary for more than three years consecutively.''— Mr Owen seconded the proposition, both gentlemen agreeing that it was unfair to tax a man's labours for more than three years, notwith- standing what other duties might increase upon him during that time. Mr lies, however, considered it took a gentleman some time to get used to his duties, and that it would be ridiculous for the club to be deprived of his services at a time when he had become most valuable, and several gentlemen agree- ing with Mr lies, the motion was lost.— Mr F. Playford next moved " That the usual business of the March meeting be trans- acted for the future in February, and the word February be sub- stituted for the word March in Rules 6, 7, 12, 13, and 15," and it being generally considered that March was too late in the year to go through such heavy business as always took place at the annual meeting, the proposition was unanimously agreed to.— Mr Cus- tance moved " That Rule 25 read as follows:— That any member's subscription which shall have become six months overdue be raised to two guineas, and that the privileges of this club be withheld from any member until the said subscription of two guineas be paid,''— Some discussion followed, and on the motion of Mr Holiuan, seconded by Mr Freeman, it was carried " That the names of members who have not paid their subscription ( due March 1), by May 1, and members whose subscriptions shall have become due after March 1, and shall not have been paid two months afterwards, be exhibited in the club room, with a notice affixed to their names, informingthe members thatthey have ceased to enjoy theprivilegesof theclub.'' Someminor alterationsproposed by Mr Morley were next carried, as also Mr Schlotel's motion, " That a committee be appointed to revise the club rules and bye laws," in order to put them into better shape, Messrs Ireland, Herbert Playford, Boydell, Owen, Morley, Price, and Schlotel being appointed. Mr Ireland then submitted the balance sheet for the past year, and estimates for the ensuing year. They showed the club to be in a most flourishing condition, and were agreed to, with the exception that the item, £ 20 for the annual dinner, was objected to, as it was considered the dinner should be self supporting, and the matter was left to the committee. The meeting then adjourned. THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB. The monthly general meeting of this club was held on Monday evening, March 2, at the Albion Hotel, Russell- street, Covent- garden ; Mr R. N. Philipps, vice- president, in the chair. After the routine business some conversation occurred respecting Mr Smith's proposition that a private subscription ball take place under the patronage of the club, which was ultimately referred to the committee. The subject of the anniversary dinner was also discussed, and on the hon sec reading a letter from the Hon G. Denman, who was of opinion that the university race and the dinner must take place on the same day, it was resolved that the anniversary festival be held on the 1st of April, the arrangements to be left with the committee. In the course of the evening the following gentlemen were elected members of the club :— Messrs J. W. Clayton, merchant, Hampton Wick; S. C. Hadley, City Flour Mills, E. C.; G. Atkinson, druggist, Aldersgate- street; A. O. Hughes, cornet, 18th Hussars; W. Bovill, Q. C., M. P., Temple; J. B. Karslake, Q. C. ; J. Owen, hon sec, L. R. C.; W. H. Koyston ( Hon), 1, Great Cheyne- walk, Chelsea. A committe meeting of the club was held on Wednesday, March 4, at the Hambro' Coffee House, Water- lane, Tower- street, when Mr Smith stated that the 1st of April seemed to be the day definitely fixed upon for the University Race, and asked to be empowered to make the usual arrangements. He had written to Oxford and Cambridge, and both crews had accepted the club's invitation to dine with them, although the day had not then been definitely fixed. After some conversation, it was re- solved that the dinner take place on Wednesday, April 1, under somewhat similar arrangements to last year. Mr Smith also an- nounced that he had engaged the River Queen to accompany the race, though at a much higher rate than last year, and confidently anticipated, from what the chairman of the Iron Boat Company had told him, that only six or seven boats would be let this year, those being engaged by clubs, so that there were some hopes the nuisance of so many accompanying steamers would be avoided this'year. The meeting was much satisfied with this announce- ment, and it was arranged that the River Queen accompany the race, the price of the tickets being raised to meet the increased price of the steamboat. NORTH LONDON ROWING CLUB. At a meeting of the committee of this club, held on Wednes- day, March 4, the following arrangements were made for the en- suing season:— Opening day, April 4. April 25, Pair- oared Out- rigged Gigs, with coxswains, Putney to Hammersmith ; entries close April 9. May 16, Four- oared Race, Barnes to Hammersmith; entries close April 30. June 20, Eight- oared Race, Putney to lower end of Chiswick Ait; entries close June 1. July 18, Junior Sculls, Putney to Hammersmith; entries close July 13. Aug 15, Senior Sculls, Barnes to Hammersmith; entries close Aug 10. Sept 19, Four- oared Race in outriggers, Putney to Hammersmith; entries close Sept 1. CORSAIR ROWING CLUB. The hon sec of the above club furnishes us with the following: — At the last monthly meeting of this club, held at Blanchard's Hotel, Beak- street, March 2, several of the members being de- sirous of competing for the Belfour prizes on the 9th May, it was resolved that the race of this club arranged for that date should take place on the 25th April instead, entries to close on the 6th of April. Mr G. Heyer was duly elected a member, and the follow- ing gentlemen proposed to be balloted for at the April meeting : — Messrs A. Herron, Jas. Catty, T. Kadmall, G. Varty, and J. W. Searle. Arrangements were also made for the purchase of boats for the ensuing season.—[ The C. R. C. are in error as to the date of the Belfour pairs. The day, as altered last week, is May 23.] TWICKENHAM ROWING CLUB. The annual meeting of this club, being the first for 1863, was held on Thursday evening, March 5, at Baylis's Railway Hotel, Twickenham, Mr F. Camroux in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been confirmed, Mr Vincent Griffiths, the hon sec, read the committee's annual report for 1862, which showed that at the end of the year the club numbered 89 members, 30 of whom were elected in the course of the year. The receipts during the season had been £ 373, and the disbursements £ 401, showing that the latter had considerably exceeded the for- mer. The cause of this, however, had been the erection of the new boat house, at a cost of £ 295 ; and while several gentlemen had liberally come forward and advanced the greater part of the money, there was still £ 95 unpaid. The committee, however, hoped that this debt would soon be cleared off, and congratu- lated the members on possessing a boat house which, for commodiousness and stability, was unequalled by any other on the Thames. The report further congratulated the members upon the excellence of the racing last year, and upon the great improvement in the rowing, and particularly refered to the scul- lers race for the cup presented by Mr N. H.' Vertue, the captain, to whom they felt under the deepest obligation for the uniform zeal he had ever displayed in all matters connected with the club. The report was received with general satisfaction, and was unani- mously adopted, on the motion of the chairman, seconded by Dr Clarke. The meeting then proceeded to the election of officers, and the chairman moved the re- election of the president, H. R. H. the Due d'Aumale, about whom he had nothing to say except that all must rejoice at the club enjoying his patronage. Several gen- tlemen secondet, and the duke was re- elected unanimously.— Mr Griffiths said there was perhaps no one in the club to whom they were so much indebted as Mr F. Camroux, their esteemed rice- president. He had presided at all their meetings, and always been ready, whatever his other engagements might have been, to take his share, and more than his share, in the work and contributions towards the club funds. All must regret that he was shortly about to leave the neighbourhood, but until then he hoped they should iniuce him to retain his office. He had [ much pleasure in proposing his re- election.— Mr Yertue seconded the proposition. He had had the pleasure of knowing Mr Camroux long before his connection with that club; his urbanity and gentlemanly deportment had ever rendered him pleasing to all, and they could not possibly have a better man for their second officer.— Mr Camroux having been unanimously re- appointed, said that while he was with them he should ever take the most lively interest in their proceedings, and hoped that when he was compelled to leave Twickenham they would accept his resignation, as he felt the office should only be filled by some one always residing on the spot.— The following gentlemen were then elected as committee- men for the ensuing year, viz:— Dr Clarke, Messrs H. Bohn, V. Griffiths, G. Grant. Jones, N. H. Matthews, T. H. Smith, R. H. Thrupp, N. H. Vertue, and J. G. Walls.— Dr Clarke next pro- posed the re- election of Mr Vincent Griffiths as hon secretary. No one could have seen the efficient manner in which he had ever conducted the business of the club withoutacknowledginghowfitted he was for the post he held, and if they could prevail upon him to accept office again, he was sure he would look after their interests more than any other man they could elect.— Mr H. Bohn seconded, and Mr Griffiths was re- elected unanimously.— Mr E. Smith proposed the re- election of Mr Thrupp as treasurer.— Mr T. H. 8mith seconded, and was sure there would not be a dissentient voice, as he was a most efficient officer, putting them to no expense whatever for collecting, and the fact of the stationery for the year only amounting to between 17s and 18s showed how hard he worked for the club.— Re- elected unani- mously.— Mr J. Laurie proposed the re- election of Mr Vertue as captain, whose name, he said, he had only to mention to enlist all their sympathies in his behalf. He was so well known to them, and was so much among them proffering advice and assist- ance, that he need scarcely say a word in his favour, and he was sure they would do well in re- eleeting him.— Mr G. Smith seconded.— Re- elected unanimously.— The treasurer, hon sec, and captain returned thanks, assuring the meeting that they would ever use their utmost endeavours to further the club's interests; and the captain impressed upon the members the absolute neces- sity of commencing their rowing at once. They must put in an ap- pearance this year at some of the metropolitan regattas. The com- mittee would pay the members every attention in the placingof boats at their disposal, & e, and he hoped that the general body would second their efforts, so that they might have a brilliant season. The opening day was next fixed for the 21st of March, and the following gentlemen elected members of the clubj after which the meeting adjourned :— Captain Horton, Richmond ; Captain Bir- chill of the Lawn Twickenham ; and Messrs Frank Cope, Rich- mond; Thos. Bond, Teddington; R. F. Sharp, 6ion row, Twicken- ham ; G. B. Barrett, H. M. Indian Navy; E. Coombes, 43. Lime- street, and Richmond; Ralfe, 7, Mincing- lane : M. H Murray. Richmond; and F. Thomas, Carlton House, Maida Vale. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHI- QARED RACE. Slurtti? r changes having taken place in the Cambridge crew and the Oxforu weights as given last week, having been somewhat inaccurate, w6 again subjoin the crews as they have been rowing during the past week. We believe, also, that correspondence has not quite ceased on the subject of the day on which this race is to be rowed, Oxford being anxious to avoid delaying it beyond the usual time, and Cambridge finding it impossible to row earlier than April 1st. It appears that dark blue is the favourite :— OXFORD. Bt lb | CAMBRIDGE. st lb 1. R. Shepherd, Brasenose.. .. 11 31 1. R. II. Morgan, Emmanuel.. U 10 2. F. H. Kelly, University.... 11 10 2. W. C.

TOBPID RACES.— Torpid races commenced on Wednesday, March 4, when sixteen boats ( being an increase of five on last year's racing) came to the starting post in the following order : — 1. Brasenose I 6. University | 11. Oriel 1 2. Corpus | 7. Wadham 12. Queen's/ 3. Christ Church | 8. Balliol | 13. ,) esua 4. Exeter 9. Trinity 14. Worcester 5. Magdalen 10. Pembroke 15. St John's l I I 16. University II. f As will be seen by the boats bracketed, University II. bumped St John's, and Queen's displaced Oriel, the former just after start- ing, and the latter at Harvey's barge. Brasenose strengthened the confidence of their friends by the manner in which they led the boats. Christ Church gained on Corpus, being sorely pressed by Exeter, who, although overlapping atSaunder's Bridge, were unable to give the coup de grace. University, who had been booked as certain to bump Magdalen, caused sad disappointment to their friends and the layers of odds, as the bunnp, although it appeared inevitable for a long time, did not come off'. An appeal to the committee of the O. U. B. C. did not improve their position, as that body, after a lengthened investigation, decided that no bump had been made. The weather was of the most cheering character, and attracted an unusual number of spectators. THURSDAY, MARCH 5.— Order of starting 1. Brasenose I 7. Wadham 1 "" " 2. Corpus \ 8. Balliol / 3.

Christ Church succeeded in bump- ing Corpus after passing Saunder's Bridge, and saved themselves the unpleasantness of succumbing to Exeter, who were much too close to be pleasant. University bumped Magdalen at the First Willow, Balliol caught Wadham in the Gut, and Queen's made another upward move by running into Pembroke at the Free Water Stone. Oriel withdrew previous to the race. FRIDAY, MARCH 6. 1. Brasenose I 6. Magdalen I 11. Pembroke 2. Christ Church 7. Baliiol 12. Jesus 3. Corpus ) I 8. Wadham | 13. Worcester ) 4. Exeter J I 9.

From this point Mr Hannam drew a little ahead, and finally won by about half a second, the pistols going off almost simultaneously. TEMPLE YACHT CLUB.— The monthly meeting of this club was held on Wednesday, March 4, at the club house, Ship Tavern, Essex- street, Strand, when the following gentlemen were elected mem- bers -.— Messrs Price, Miles, Willison, and Phillips. Proposed for election next meeting night:— Messrs Cullum and Sherburn. This being the annual meeting for election of officers, the follow-, ing were chosen:— Mr Gardner, commodore; Mr Hildersley, vice- commodore; Mr Beurle, rear- commodore; Mr Fricker, trea- surer ; Mr Moase, hon sec. The opening trip of the season is fixed for the 2d of April; to meet at Charlton for a cruise, under the direction of the commodore, when a good muster is expected CITY OF LONDON THAMES WATERMEN'S REGATTA.— This re- gatta takes place 011 Tuesday, March 10, the course being from London Bridge to Temple Gardens and back.— First heat: C. Turner of Rotherhithe, light blue; H. Heath of Greenwich, red; B. Spencer of Rotherhithe, green.— Second heat: W. J. Forrest of Greenwich, white; S. Short of Fountain 8tairs, yellow; J. Byrne of Queenhithe, pink. The first and second men out of the first and second heats to contend for the principal prize in the third and last heat. The chief prize is a handsome silver cup, presented by the Prince of Wales. PRIDE OF WESTMINSTER ROWING CLUB.— The first race of the season, for silver goblets, will take place early in April. The entries close on Wednesday, March 18, at Mr Hobbs's, Westminster Arms, Holywell- street. COLE AND HAYWOOD.— A match has been made between H. Cole of Chelsea and T. Haywood of Westminster, to row for £ 50 a side, and they are to meet at Mr Neale's, Brown Bear, Millbank- street, on Monday, March 9, to sign articles. HOARE AND TAGG.— For this scullers match we have received a further sum of £ 5 a side, and the next deposit of £ 10 a side will be due March 26. CHAMBERS AND EVERSON.— For this scullers race we have re- ceived a further sum of £ 25 a side, and a similar deposit is to be made at Mr Wall's, Maltster, Bridge- street, Greenwich, March 19. Drewitt accepts the challenge of Royal, and will meet him at the Magpie and Stump, Cheyne- walk, Chelsea, on Thursday even- ing, March 12, to draw up articles, & c. D. Fraser| will be at Mr Forrest's, the Sugar Loaf, on Monday March 9, prepared to make the match with W. Tester. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. CHARGE or FRAUDULENT BANKRUPTCY.— On Tuesday William Buckwell, a railway contractor, was tried for having unlawfully, within three months of his bankruptcy, with intent to defraud his creditors, concealed divers books and papers, letters, vouchers, securities, and documents relating to his property, trade, and dealings. He was also indicted for not fully and fairly discover- ing, to the best of his knowledge and belief, his real and personal estate, after he had been adjudged a bankrupt.— Mr Metcalfe, in opening the case, said the defendant had been an artificial stone manufacturer at Greenwich, and a railway contractor. It 1860 it was in contemplation to make a railway in Italy, and a gentleman named Gallon obtained a concession of land from the Sardinian Government with that view. The defendant in that year entered into a contract with him to construct the line. In 1861 a com- pany was formed to carry out the project, and the defendant be- came contractor under them. The line at that time was far ad- vanced towards completion, and he undertook to finish it for £ 184,000, which was to be paid chiefly, and by instalments, in shares and debentures of the company. He afterwards pur chased land and large quantities of material for the pur- poses of the line. From Messrs Foreman, iron merchants, in particular he bought materials worth from £ 15,000 to £ 16,000, and also iron and timber, in large quantities from other parties. The materials were shipped to Italy, and received there by the defendant's agents. In some cases he paid partly in cash, and partly in the shares or debentures of the company. The amount actually received by the defendant from the company in shares and debentures was £ 120,000. On the 4th of February, 1862, having sought the protection of the Bankruptcy Court, he surrendered himself, and was examined there on three several occasions; but he only gave such explanations and an- swered such questions as he thought proper. Vouchers, check- books, and documents by which the account he gave of his trans- actions could be tested, were removed by him to Italy on the eve of his bankruptcy. He gave his accountant what he called a proximate list of creditors, but no list of debtors, nor any account of property which might be available for the estate; and, according to his own statement, all his property, w ith very trifling exceptions, was absorbed by parties having control over it. Under those circumstances it became idle to examine the bankrupt, and eventually the Registrar refused to entertain the question of his passing his last examination for the reason, especially, that he had filed no accounts and furnished no balance sheet. He was specially summoned to attend the court on the 14th of May last, but instead of going there he took himself off to Italy, and resided for some time in the Casa Crola, Burgo Manero. He was at length arrested on the French frontiers by Michael Hay- don, the detective officer who had been sent in quest of him. On being apprehended he told Haydon he would sooner have rotted in gaol abroad than have returned to England if he had had his choice. One Charles Collins, with whom he resided in the Casa Crola, was his recognised agent in Italy for carrying out the rail- way object, and in this country Frank Collins, brother of Charles, and Mr Cadogan, attended to his business. The railway company had now a claim upon the defendant to the amount of about £ 90,000, and other parties of £ 40,000 or £ 50,000, for materials sup- plied to him. On the other hand the defendant had received £ 120,000 in shares and debentures of the company. He had given no satisfactory account of his assets. He alleged, indeed, that he had given certain of his creditors security by way of lien to the extent of £ 15,000, but of that they denied all " knowledge, and al- leged, on the contrary, that they had been paid by debentures. If any such lien were given by deed, it was contended that it could enlyhave been done to defraud theassignees. Mr Metcalfe ran over the items of an account furnished by the defendant to his assignee, but he said it failed to show a single fraction of available assets.— After a good deal of evidence for the prosecution, Mr Giffard, in defending the prisoner, characterised the prosecution as a cruel, wanton, and vindictive proceeding. The defendant, he said, was charged, not with taking away a particular book or letter, but " divers books and papers, letters, vouchers, securities, and docu- ments relating to his property, trade, and dealings,'' and he asked how a man was to defend himself against a charge so general and vague. The books relating to the railway were in Italy, where they might be expeeted to be; and in creating lien on his pro- perty there was not the slightest pretence for saying the defendant had any other object in view than to protect the very people who had become his creditors by supplying great quantities of mate- rial for the construction of the rail way.— The jury at once found a verdict of Not Guilty.— The prisoner was then tried and acquit- ted on another indictment.— Mr Metcalfe said there was another charge against him— namely, of making away with and encum- bering part of his estate, but that he proposed to abanden.— The Recorder remarked that all that the defendant had done which could give a colour to such a charge was to take care of the persons who supplied the materials for the railway, and to prevent those materials falling into the hands of the company.— The defendant was thereupon discharged. THE ACTON MURDEB.— The trial of the brothers Brooks, for the murder of Davey, the policeman, at Acton, has been postponed till next session. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CHABGE or LIBEL.— At Guildhall, on Wednesday, Mr Job Pickles Whitely, proprietor, and Mr Peter Bayne, part proprietor and editor of the Weekly Heview, were summoned before Mr Alderman Phillips for publishing a libel concerning Dr Kenealey. The libel complained of was contained in the notice of a poem by the plaintiff, entitled " A New Pantomime." Extracts from the notice having been read, together with extracts from the work itself, Alderman Phillips said the article charged Dr Kenealey with having an innate and unmitigated coarse mind ; that dirt was his native element; and that the book itself reflected not only an ill- regulated, but a polluted mind. It also charged him with being a villain ; and in another part it said he was a man to lash little boys until they staggered and fell down ; and that he was a man to eclipse Mr Hopley, by putting them to death by slew torture. But the climax of the article was exceedingly clear, because the reviewer stated that for his own part he considered it to be his bounden duty to abandon the tone of literary criticism, and to assume that which befits a gross social outrage. He wished to be clearly understood. With regard to the merits or demerits of the work in question, that was a matter that was clearly out of his province. There could be no doubt we all loved the license and the liberty of the press, but it must be confined within its proper limits, and he must say, on reading that article, that he was not disposed to take upon himself the responsibility it involved. The learned counsel said that all criticisms were privileged, but the criticism must refer to the work, and not be directed against the writer. It did appear to him that the language used in that article was beyond that of ordinary criticism, and he must there- fore decline to take upon himself the responsibility of deciding the case.— The defendants were then committed for trial, and en- tered into their own recognisances to appear. Messrs Swaine and Adeney, 185, Piccadilly, W., have been ap. pointed whip manufacturers to H. R.

MONDAY, MAECH 2.— The almost uniform dulness which has of late characterised the proceedings was varied this afternoon by the Lincoln " settling," but speculation on the whole was as languid as ever, and the little wagering that took place on the different handicap events was, with one or two exceptions, much too insignificant to be taken as any criterion, and, in fact, scarcely worth quoting at all. The most important movement on the Liverpool Steeple Chase was in connection with Avalanche, who succeeded to the post of honour lately occupied by Satellite, for from 12 to 1— taken freely elsewhere earlier in the day— she ad- vanced to 8 to 1, and that price was scarcely forthcoming at the finish ! Several enquiries wore made after The Dane, and some money went on Arbury at 20 to 1. Beyond noting that Knutsford was made first favourite for the Northamptonshire Stakes at 10 to 1, there is, for reasons already stated, nothing further to be said about the betting— such as it was— on the Spring Handicaps. 4 to 1 was offered on the field for the Two Thousand, but layers refused to advance half a point more either about Hospodar or Baccharometer, although in the course of the afternoon 6 to 5 was laid on the former against the latter. 325 to 200 was taken about the two. 12 to 1 was offered " bar two,'' and two points more • were booked to small amounts both about Blue Mantle and Bapid Blione, and 20 to 1 about Tom Pool. The last named odds were taken about Saccharometer winning the Two Thousand and Lord Clifden the Derby, and similar odds about Hospodar and Lord Clifden for the same double event. The Derby favourite was not quite so firm, and the first bet booked about him was 600 to 100, and at one time it looked like a case of driving him still further back; but although an offer of 1,800 to 200, which was not ac- cepted, was made in one quarter, half a point less was quietly booked about the same time in another. 10 to 1 was wanted about Baccharometer, but layers were unaccommodating, and 9 to 1 was not tempting enough. The main feature of the Derby betting, however, was the support awarded to Carnival, who was backed for money at 20 to 1. National Guard, on the other hand— re- ported lame— receded to offers of 1,000 to SO. LIVERPOOL STEEPLE CHASE. MONDAY. THURSDAY. Avalanche Private 8 to 1 ( tk) .... The Dane Wadlow 13 to 1 ( tk) ....

STAKES. 500 to 50 agst Knutsford ( tk) FURTHER SALE OF THE LATE MR GRATWICKE'S HORSES. As we announced at the time of the Ham sale, the horses in work were brought to the hammer at Hyde Park- corner, on Monday, March 2, but without creating any of that interest so manifest over the dispersion of the brood mares. In fact, May could show but a very middling team, with Monitor, an own bro- ther to Governess, a long way the pick of them. He was consi- derably improved even on his two year old appearance, and is now a really very handsome, well- furnished colt, in wonderfully good trim, and altogether as fit as a fiddle. He certainly looked like a cheap horse at the figure to which the hammer fell. The next best by the price list, Pillion, is a remarkably bloodlike filly, quite a flyer in form, with unusually long but well- in- clined pasterns, and many other signs of speed about her, but altogether narrow and slight to meet or follow. The plain, curious- tempered Ashford has been " altered," and may consequently perform better than he hitherto has done, though the hun- dred fairly set him; while Ebony, wasted to a shadow, and but the wreck of a horse, may, " from his strength and size, make a good country'stallion,'' if he does not at present show much sign of it. Creole, a neatish filly out of the Squaw, went cheap at a fifty, and School Mistress, out of Hesse Homburg, was also given away; they were, unquestionably, the two bargains of the sale. Sevington, a sister to Allington, was a poor, common- looking weed, and Boteleur a coarse stilty oolt, with nothing in his appearance to recommend him. Indeed, it was hard to believe that such a batch of race horses could come of the stud of great, grand mares which we had been looking through a few weeks since; but the changes on Chatham and Landgravine and the Merry Monarch were about worn out, and we can only repeat that we believe the mares must do better with more chance of a cross. Mr Hilton also sent up some brood mares and two or three young Newcourts, of which, however, only one was sold, a remarkably clever, powerful filly out of a hack mare, and that has every qualification so far of making a perfect hack herself. Still, she went for thirty. GS. MONITOR ( own brother to Governess), by Chatham out of Oxonian's dam, 3 yrs ( Mr H.

KNIGHTON BACES.— It will be seen, oi? reference to an adver- tisement in another column, that the Eadnorshire Stakes and Knighton Handicaps close on Tuesday next. BLACK DOCTOR.— This once- celebrated horse, who, backed heavily, ran second for the Chester Cup in " Nancy's year,'' and was eventually sold for a trifle at Aldridge's, is now drawing a cart at Chelsea. We regret to announce the death of Mr William Chapman, of Derby, well known and respected in the racing world. He caught cold at the funeral of Ealph Bullock, and died, after a short illness, on Monday last, at an early age. SHREWSBURY BACES.— The acceptances for the different events at this meeting are more than usually strong, those for the Eacing Plate, Hardle Eace, and Steeple Chase being nearly double those of last spring. Being within a week of the racing, it may be fairly inferred that a considerable proportion of those " content" trill be actual runners, as otherwise they would scarcely have ac- cepted so shortly before the time. A very large and influential attendance is anticipated, a large number of the leading patrons of the Turf having already signified their intention of being present, amongst whom may be mentioned Lord Stamford, Lord Ux- bridge, Lord Strathmore, Lord Bateman, Sir W. Codrington, Capt Christie, Capt Little, Mr Payne, Col Baillie, & c. DEATH OF MR GEORGE CALDWELL.— This gentleman, so long known on the Turf, died on Thursday last at Eamsgate, after a severe illness of some weeks' duration. Mr Caldwell, who was a Norfolk man by birth, completed his education at Oxford, for some time previous to which his taste for racing had begun to develop itself; and, indeed, " Master George'' came early to be pretty familiar with Newmarket. As with most men who make the Turf their study, his career was a very chequered one, and few had seen " life" under so many different phases. Comparatively late in his day, Mr Caldwell turned his attention to sporting literature, and was at his decease connected with our contemporary the Field, THE PAST MEETINGS AT NOTTINGHAM AND DERBY, AND THE FUTURE AT LIVERPOOL. To give a description of the weather with which the Notting- ham people and Turf habitues were favoured on Tuesday and Wednesday last would be superfluous, further than to state it was more like midsummer than March; that the course was covered with myriads of holiday people, while the Grand Stand receipts far eclipsed all former totals. The only drawback to the com- plete success of the meeting was the great dearth of horses brought out as compared with the number of entries, and this is more to be wandered at when the fine open winter and conse- quent forward state of racing stock is taken into consideration. For the Trial Stakes, which opened the ball, old Twilight, with her rich brown coat and long low contour, was brought out as fine as a star, and repaid her backers who laid odds on her by winning this her first race of the season. Plying Fish, a big but rather coarse- looking filly, came with a rush at ttie last, but Fordham shook the old mare up a little, and she steadily held her own aud The Nottingham Handicap, which ought to have been the main event of the meeting, eventually mustered only half a dozen runners out of thirty- four subscribers, and these were a sorry lot, if I except Eevolver, who, although a fair colt to look at, ran badly at Lincoln. Flirtation was in rare form, but stood " stock still'' when the flag fell, and finished a bad fourth. Little Dick, a moderate horse in appearance, formerly the property of Mr Saxon, carried a heap of money, and might possibly have landed it had not his rider broke a stirrup leather before half the distance had been covered, whereby he lacked the very necessary support at the finish, and succumbed to Eevolver. Soothsayer, Drumstick, and Donne Canne were the other competitors, the Mountain Maid. Ally having been drawn almost at the last mo- ment. The latter was freely backed the night before, conse- quently her withdrawal caused no little grumbling. Donne Canne had also some friends, but Little Dick was " all the rage," and those most likely to know averred that nothing else had " a shadow of a chance,'' so that some idea may be formed of what material the rest of the field was composed. Mrs Somerville ran up to her Lincoln form, and landed the Stand Plate without any trouble, Estrelda, a " washy"- lcoking filly, with lop ears and an ewe neck, being a bad second. Old Abron, albeit he looked as big and blooming as usual, failed to get a place ; and Peignor, the favourite, was nowhere. The Maccaroni Stakes, for hunters, was easily landed by Miss Taft, beating seven others, among whom were The Wren, once an exceedingly clever little mare over Irish banks ; but she was sadly out of condition here, apparently just recovering from an attack of surfeit, and it was a pity to run her, for she could not get half the distance. An objection was lodged against the winner on the ground of hav- ing been in a public training stable within the prescribed time, which was subsequently overruled. Clement had a severe struggle on Henham Lass to shake off Jack's Alive at the finish for the Innkeepers' Plate, for which Mrs Somerville was made the fa- vourite, but her forte would not appear to extend over a mile. Flying Fish won the Scurry Handicap on Wednesday, upsetting the odds on Antar, who was backed in earnest this journey. The Little John Stakes secured nine starters out of twenty- three coloured on the card; nothing, however, was backed with any degree of spirit except Lady Nichol and Faith. The two, having shed some of their winter coat, looked better than at Lincoln, and had many admirers on being stripped, though Lady Nichol was fancied the most, and the two ran remarkably true to their Lin- coln form. Faith, as at Lincoln, broke away several times, but at length they were despatched on very even terms, and the two fa- vourites had it all to themselves from the distance; Lady Nichol proving the best at the finish, as I last week, in my brief remarks, stated my belief she would. Lady Mary showed for the first time in public in this event; she is a fine, slashing, well- grown fllly, and is sure to grow into something good. Virginia, a brown filly by Vedette, also came out here for the first time, but they all struck me as short of the quality possessed by Lady Nichol and Faith. Leontes, the worst favourite of the lot, ran in his old form, won the Forest Plate, and a bay gelding, by Ellington out of Maid of Cadiz, with most of his winter coat on, but far from devoid of good racing points, landed the Selling Stakes, after a slashing " set- to'' with Antar, and was afterwards knocked down for 44gs. The Welter Cup, for half bred hunters, fell to the lot of Wali Ali Shah, better known by his former cognomen of Baby, a very compact, business- like gelding, by the notorious King of Oude, one of Mr Earey's " terribies,'' but Lord Stamford's horse, King of the Forest, was by far the best- looking animal in the field. Old Paddy from Cork ran in stockings, aud was outpaced all the way. Shuttlecock ran a fair horse, and finished second. York Minster broke down in the final effort, and the distance was sadly too far for the rest at racing pace. Only five came out for the Hurdle Eace, but two of these met with an accident, which incapacitated their riders from going to the post; these were Little Dick, ridden by Marson, and The Prophet, by Knott. Both fell at the hardle op- posite the 8tand while cantering past. Marson was pitched some distance, the horse falling upon him, and he was picked up in a state of unconsciousness, but Knott was able to walk to the weighing room with a little assistance. Without wishing to dictate unduly to the authorities, I may suggest that in future it would be better to wattle these hurdles with gorse, of which there is a plentiful supply on the forest a few hundred yards distant; the horses would then be able to see the hurdles better, and thereby be challenged to jump high enough to clear the timber. The Hunt Cup was won by an outsider, and this wound up a very enjoyable, well- managed meeting. The running at Derby on Thursday was noteworthy for the success of Measure for Measure, a filly by Fandango out of Georgiana, a stable companion of ; Lady Nichol, in the Staunton Harold Stakes, and for the continued success of Leontes in the Harrington Plate. The Hurdle Bace was won by Sinking Fund, and Emblem ran up to her Birmingham form by winning the Mid- land Steeple Chase, beating Sinking Fund and a lot of middling horses, and was afterwards installed first favourite for the Liver- pool Steeple Cnase. I have now to deal with the forthcoming Liverpool Meeting, for which a formidable number of horses are entered. There are seven events on the programme for the first day, which is most appro- priately invested with a new race, " The Prince of Wales's Cup," for which there are thirty- nir. e subscribers, of whom the best at the weights appear to be Tolurno, 4 yrs, 7st 21b; Spicebox, 6 yrs, 8st 21b; and Fravola, 8st 61b; and I prefer the latter for choice. The Tyro Stakes has twenty- five youngsters entered, and for the most, part a dark lot. Eleanor, by Gemma di Vergy out of Beauty ( Nutbush's dam), is a rare bred filly, and having been in good work for some time in Cliff s stable, she may be brought out for this event, in which case she oucht to run well. Queen of Trumps, by King Tom, I hear is a very goad filly, and has been doing strong work for this engagement, but there is so much uncertainty as to what will be brought to the post that further remarks anent this race might be too hazardous. The Liverpool Cup has fifty subscribers, of whom four have paid forfeit; these are Charles Fox ( who has been amiss lately), Stanton, Soothsayer, Marmion, and Truant. The Lawyer, 5 yrs, 8st 12lb, heads the list, but having been all to pieces last season I fear he is overweighted, being grown but little, and that in height more than length and thickness. Upperhand, 6 yrs, 8st, ran a very fair horse in the majority of his engagements last season in good company, and did I not think that he may be especially re- served for the Doncaster Spring Handicap, for which he is very well in with 7st 121b, I should have a good opinion of him for this race. The horse has been in good work at Fobert's, and whichever event he is intended for next, he will be hard to beat. Balham, 5 yrs, 7st 101b, won the Worcestershire Han- dicap, a mile and three furlongs, last autumn, beating seventeen horses, but he had considerably the best of the four year old weights, and was similarly favoured when he landed the Beau- fort Handicap at Monmouth. Brilliant, 5 yrs, 7st 81b, did a great deal of work last season very creditably at distances ranging from four furlongs to two miles. King of Kent, 5 yrs, 7st 81b, also showed pretty good form as a three year old when he ran second to Danae, 4 yrs, 6st 91b, for the Northamptonshire Stakes, beating such horses as Moorcock, Avalanche, King of Diamonds, Lady Trespass, and Moorhen, at fair weights ; he afterwards failed to secure a place in the Third Newmarket Biennial Stakes, won by Eussley, since which he has been on the shelf. Chere Amie, 6 yrs, 7st 81b, in the same stable, ran so badly last year, when fairly weighted, that little, if any, improvement may be expected from her, and King of Kent may possibly represent the stable. Bombardier, the Irish colt, 5 yrs, 7st 61b, is nicely weighted for such a big slashing horse; he is very game, and ought to run well. Costa, 4 yrs, 7st 61b, should now be in his prime, and the long list of performances appended to his name entitles him to rank as one of the very best entered for this event. The Earl of Surrey, 4 yrs, 7st 51b, only came out once last season, and won the Shrewsbury Cup, two miles, beating a large field of very fair horses easily; and as he received no knocking about to harm him as a two year old, he should be very fresh now, and able to finish very forward with the weight. Henham Lass, 5 yrs, 7st 41b can be of no use in the company she will have to meet. Haddington, 4 yrs, 7st 41b, although nicely weighted, is probably intended for something better; and Hubert, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, would seem to have no chance whatever from his recent display. Tommy Jones, 4 yrs, 7st 21b, beat Caller Ou, Grimston, King of Kars, and Dick Swiveller for a Queen's Plate, two miles, at the Caledonian Hunt Meet- ing, and if this was the St Leger winner's true running, it stamps the horse with both speed and endurance. At the same meeting, carrying list 101b, he ran second to Deception, 6 yrs, list, for the Welter Cup, one mile and three- quarters, with a lot of older horses, some with less weight, behind him. He also ran a good horse at Northallerton, and I am quite prepared to see him perform creditably for the Liverpool Cup. Tolurno, 4 yrs, 6st 121b, is also very well in. The last year's running of Interduca, 4 yrs, 6st 91b, and Tiptoe, 4 yrs, 6st 91b, does not entitle them to rank in the class of some horses named above. Killigrew, 6st 81b, is now eight years old, having only been out once in public during the last two years. Kill or Cure, 4 yrs, 6st 71b, is not good enough. Fly Trap, 4 yrs, 6st 21b, was a middling two year old, and she won the Northallerton Handicap last year, but Tommy Jones gave her so much weight that her performance was comparatively a moderate one, and the rest of her performances are scarcely up t « mediocrity ; she is, however, well in, and may run pretty forward. Forester, the same age and weight, and represent- ing the same interests, also showed some fair two year old form, but he did nothing last year to entitle him to respect. Of the three year olds I prefer Bohemia, 5st 121b, to all the rest, although Anfield, 5st 12lb, the Mountain Maid filly, 6st, and Erin go Bragh, 6st, ought to run well if they come to the post. Having carefully analysed the performances of the lot engaged, I can see nothing upon whom my preference would fall sooner than Costa or Tommy Jones. In the absence of Shropshire, list 71b, Jacob, 9st 61b, or Mary Ann, 93t 61b, must be my se- lected for the Hurdle Eace, as Nosegay, whom I predicted for the Nottingham Hurdle Eace, broke down at Derby. Maritana should also run pretty forward. A Handicap Plate of 40 sovs, half a mile, will probably fall to the share of Leontes, who will have to carry a penalty of 91b for winning the Forest Plate at Nottingham, which will bring up his weight to 7st lib. A Sweepstakes of three quavers of a mile has five engaged, all maidens, of whom Xenius may turn out the best. The Sefton Handicap, five furlongs, run on the second day, has fifty- six subscribers, six of whom have paid forfeit, namely. Eidolon, My Mary, Charles Fox, Stanton, Marmion, and Sweet Willie. Lady Nichol, 5st 71b, is the only two year old in the race, and if she starts I do not see what there is to beat her, un- less it be LeonteB. I should, however, prefer Lady Nichol for choice. The Aintree Plate, five furlongs, would appear to be a gift to Leontes, only that he will probably run in the 8efton Handicap, which is the preceding race, and best worth winning. In his absence it may fall to Eevolver. The Grand National Steeple Chase will, as usual, be the great attraction to hunting men, of whom there are always a great gathering from all parts of the Kingdom, and the Lancashire operatives glory in a jumping race. To analyse the perform- ances of each animal, in order to arrive at the winner, would be altogether a hopeless endeavour. It has been questioned whether the notorious Jealousy will start or not, but from recent market movements I am inclined to the opinion, after all the mystery that has surrounded the question, that the right party came forward to back the mare at Lincoln, which had the effect of installing her as good a favourite at Manchester on Thursday as ever she was before the day of the race last year; and I confess that I never could see why she should not go for the money this time unless she was in some way amiss. Her Clever party have had plenty of opportunity to back her quietly at long odds ever since the weights were out, but that the general public will support her to any great amount is unlikely after last year's business, even now she is a favourite, for confi- dence once broken is hard to be regained. After the disappoint- ment with Borneo last year, the mare may on this occasion go for the stakes, for horses at her age get no better for keeping, and are, moreover, always subject to accidents and disease. Of Medora, the top weight, I need only remark that she has repeatedly proved herself as good a mare as ever was foaled to gallop, and stay a distance under weight. Freshman, in the same interest and stable as Jerusalem, has been under the same restrictions as the latter; he is not in my opinion so good a horse, and Jerusalem will doubtless be the selected one of the stable. The latter beat Heads or Tails in the Craven 8teeple Chase at Coventry, 1861, carrying lOst 131b, four miles, when giving the mare 251b, but he had to succumb to both Wee Nell, lOst 71b, and Medora, list 91b, in the Lea- mington Grand Annual, four miles, his weight being list 81b on that occasion. This wound up Jerusalem's performances in 1861, which were nothing very extraordinary. He came out only once last year, and failed to get a place, with only lOst 21b on him, at Warwick, in the Grand Annual, four miles, won by Levity, 8st 101b. He has, however, proved his ability to stay the distance and to carry the weight, and the name in which he is entered is a sufficient, guarantee that if he starts he will be fully intended, and as he will doubtless be very fit and well steered, it would be well to keep him on the right side. Emblem, handicapped at lOst 01b, has now to carry lOst 101b for winning at Birmingham and Derby, and the question is whether the weight will not tell its tale upon her over three- quarters a mile more ground than she ran at either of the above places; she is, however, the favourite at the time I write, and as she is a wear and tear sort of an animal, and afine fencer, she may run remarkably well. Eomeo, in the same stable as Jealousy, is pretty near as good as the latter, though Jealousy must run for the money, providing the commission at Lincoln was genuine. Eomeo will nevertheless be dangerous if they should intend him, as he ran this course like a finished steeple chaser last year, and it would have been a near thing between him and Huntsman at the finish had his rider not made the mistake after entering the winning field. Shropshire may go for and win the hurdle race, but I have always doubted his ability to stay the long course over country. It is extremely doubt- ful whether the French division will be represented at all, for Avalanche is reported to have cut her leg badly. The Dane's performance at Birmingham, where he wrenched one of his plates partially off, was such that the public could form no opinion of him for Liverpool; but, although he has travelled the course once, and finished second t. o Jealousy, beating a large field of good horses, the mare defeated him so very easily that, al- though she now gives him 71b as compared with their weights on that occasion, she is, I imagine, likely to beat him again, as he carries 201b more than he did last journey, and as the distance is a quarter of a mile further I very much doubt his ability to stay under the extra weight. Lincoln has to carry list 31b. He won the Hurdle Race at Nottingham, but I cannot think him good enough to stay four miles and a quarter with this weight. Bucephalus I have an idea will run well, for, although he only finished a bad fifth in this race last year, a very tired horse, he got over the course very cleverly, and is a magnificent fencer. He will come out a far superior horse than last year, when he was too big and unprepared ; and although I cannot think him good enough to win, he ought to finish very forward. Arbury, 5 years, only ran once last year, and won the Longner Hall 8teeole Chase, two miles, at Shrewsbury, carrying only 8st 121b, very easily, and as he was then only a green four year old, it may be con- sidered a pretty good performance ; but although he will doubtless run, and be very fit, there is not only a doubt a sto his ability to stay so long a distance, but also as to his being able to get through so large a field over a country like Aintree. carries a great weight, too, for a comparatively green horse. Of Satellite I have before expressed my opinion that he will not get the distance, and his recent knocking about in the market, coupled with his exhibition at Lincoln, has had no tendency to strengthen public confidence. Thomastown will run a better horse than he did last year, when he was so full of temper that he could not be got over a couple of fences. I have seen him in Ireland during the winter on several occasions, and no horse can take his fences better at exercise, but being entire, and " as cun- ning as a Christian," he will, in my opinion, " jib" before he gets to the end of his journey. He is an exceedingly well made horse, but only a pony to look at when stripped beside many of his com- petitors, and he lacks that fine raking stride and bounding action of Jealousy. Yaller Gal is a sure fencer, and a wonderful mare to stay at her own pace, but that, in my opinion, is not fast enough for this event. Miss Maria is too small in every point for such a race as this, and Sir Bobby, although handsome as a picture, is too short and cobby to figure respectably in such a class as he will meet here. The Orphan has been supported for some money, but on a weak foundation, as he never ran more than three miles, winning, when named The Eogue, a Farmers' Steeple Chase of £ 21, beating four farmers' horses at the Isle of Wight; and since he has befri named The Orphan, a silver cup and four sovs, beat- ing a couple more unknown to fame. Fosco will strip one of the best looking horses in the enclosure, but I fear he is too new at the business to figure very prominently. He is an Irish horse, but never ran in anything like the condition Holman will bring him out. Master Bagot, I fancy, from his previous running in this event, will not get over the course. Doubtful is a fairish horse, and ought to run well. Chester is said to be in good form, and may, after all, be the " mysterious one" Anatis is wonderfully improved in her legs, and has a nice weight, but does not figure in the betting. Having carefully analysed the performances, and discussed other matters connected with those horses most likely to start, I fancy the best of the field will be represented by the trusted one of the Jealousy division, Medora, Jerusalem, and Emblem, and I cannot, with any degree of confidence, pin my faith upon one more likely to win than MEDORA. Mr Frail's meeting at Shrewsbury has large fields entered for the various events in the two days' programme, and will, doubt- less, be well patronised; but as my time has of necessity been chiefly devoted to the Liverpool Meeting, and as the running at Shrewsbury will so much depend upon the result of the former, I am unable to make any remarks upon the probable success of the competitors at Shrewsbury. CENTAUR. STUD PRACTICE. MR EDITOR : Mr Goodwin's able letter on " Stud Practice,'' in your paper of last week, induces me to mention a singular instance of mental impression on a mare, the truth of which I can vouch for, having had it from a gentleman's steward and breeder of shorthorns in the north, who was an eye- witness. The gentleman with whom he was then living had a brown riding mare, entirely without white; being anxious to breed a brown foal, he selected also a brown sire free from white. At the very time the mare was being covered on the farm premises a bald- faced cart horse, worked on the farm, came in front of her, when the groom in charge exclaimed that he would spoil the brown foal. The mare produced in due course a foal with a white face. Such are the freaks of nature, but, improbable as they may appear, it is far from a solitary instance. I remember hear- ing oi a horse breeder in Holderness who had his mare walked several times round the stallion before he allowed her to be covered, in order that the mental impression might be forcible. I fully believe in the after stock oftentimes showing the merits of the first sire, though of a differently marked race entirely. The Laurel and Camel instance has, I should think, occurred in every large stud farm. Colour may be kept very uniform in breeding, and the produce generally holds to the colour of sire or dam, as each may have the preponderance of several generations of the same colour. If five or six generations on the sire's side of bay, and as many generations of mixed colours on the dam, the ehances would be of bay foals. Touchstone scarcely ever got a grey or chesnut, among all his large family. I don't think he ever got a grey, and only one chesnut, and that in his last but one season. As his produce are all in the Stud Book, this may be made certain by reference ; but I am sure that I never saw a ches- nut by Touchstone run. On his sire's side there were four bays or browns— Touchstone, Camel, Whalebone, Waxey ; then Pot8os and Eclipse were chesnuts ; whilst on his dam's side were Master Henry, Orville, and Beningboro', three bays ; then King Fergus and Eclipse were chesnuts. Bay Middleton, again, got only bays and browns, and his pedigree is full of bay blood. In the first volume of the Stud Book it may be observed how far more preva- lent grey horses were in those days than now, owing to their near relationship to the Arab. An investigation of the Stud Book scarcely justifies Mr Goodwin's assertion, that untrained mares have been most successful in the stud. Eulogy is but an average specimen, as her yearlings sold high, yet sue bred nothing of high class except Imperieuse. Now, on the other side of the question, two very hard- worked mares— Beeswing and Alice Haw- thorn— bred, . besides some other average runners, the one Nunny- kirk and Newminster, the other Oulston and Thormanby. Again, Celia and Pocahontas ran on and often, and each has bred many good winners. Crucifix worked harder than any two year old, and yet she bred Surplice, Coral, and Chalics, all very superior runners. There is much to be said on both sides, and probably an equal number of examples may be produced. Still, in buying for the stud, I should infinitely prefer a stock of proved good runners than those who might have been good, but were never proved. Again, the breeding on with the same sire is a matter of no certainty ; but still, when a cross hits, I would not leave the line, but might change the sire for a year or two to another of the same shape and descent; then revert again to the one which was the first hit! Pedigree must be joined with true form ; without the two combined, as much as possible, all breeding is but a chance.— Yours, & c, NORTH COUNTRYMAN. SIR : In your last number there is a letter from Mr Good- win on " stud practice," in which instances are given of animals throwing back, as it is termed. Your correspondent writes as if he doubted whether throwing back was a common occurrence, and, as he says " he prefers a change of horses every season," it is clear he does not sufficiently estimate the consequences, the ir- remediable consequences, of a bad cross. The subject is not only very interesting, but it embraces so many startling speculations that you will much benefit all engaged in breeding animals of every description if you will encourage the discussion till no doubt shall be left whether we see the fiat or a freak of nature in the Zebra story. It is my belief that throwing back is not only a common occurrence, but that to a greater or less extent it always occurs, and always must occur, the extent depending on pecu- liarities of constitution. It is commonly supposed that when the fcetus leaves the female, all connected with the father of thefcetus goes with it. Physiology and experience tell us such is not the case. The foetus is not only nourished by the female, it is part of the female;' the circu- lation of the female is, as it were, through the fcetus. That fcetus is of the blood of the father, in every respect it partakes of the father's nature; there can be nothing peculiar to the father not to be found in that fcetus; it may be more or less demonstrated, but it must be there; that foetus immediately before birth has become a considerable per centage of the whole female formation; the whole of the blood of the female must in course of circula- tion have partaken of the nature of the fcetus, the same blood was common to both, and the blood remaining in the female after parturition must retain the nature which it imbibed during pregnancy. How long the effect remains it may be im- possible to discover; it certainly varies in different animals; a thousand circumstances may cause it to vary in the same animal. I have heard that some breeders in the north of England act on the supposition that a mare once covered by an inferior horse is ruined, but throughout the kingdom opinion and practice are op- posed to what are styled the prejudices of the northerners. I have no doubt whatever of the northerners being right. How often I have heard such a remark as, " It is very extraordinary ! my little terrier cannot forget poor old Pincher; since his death she has had three litters by different dogs, but there is always one or two like the old dog;>' or, " It is very provoking ! I sent that mare last year to The Cure, but look at her foal, there are the very points of Orlando I desired to remedy, though she has not seen Orlando these three years!" A friend of mine fond of cockfighting had a beautiful white hen, and, after much search, he found an equally high bred white cock. His fancy was to have white game fowls. The first brood were half black; in the second brood there were a few black; in the third or fourth brood, I forget which, all were white, and she had nothing but white afterwards. The stain was worn out. The subject does not con- cern animals only, it concerns ourselves. Mr Goodwin mentions the case of the widow' s child by a second husband resembling the first husband. It could not be otherwise if she married shortly after the death of the first husband. A disease hereditary in a first husband may be communicated by the widow to children by the second husband. More than this; when Fanny Jones mar- ried Harry Thompson, in the world there were not two people more unlike each other than these two. They have been married five orsix years, and havehad fivechildren. andnowyouhear people say, " How like those Thompsons have become to each other." It is something more than involuntary unitation, the consequence of constant intercourse. Five per cent of her irritable temper has been neutralised by his good- natured blood ; physically, as well as morally, they have to a certain extent become one flesn. Again, I have observed families in which the eldest son greatly resem- bled the mother, the succeeding children were more and more like the father, the youngest, born after a long interval, resem- bling the mother as much as his eldest brother. But I cannot trespass more on your space. There are many learned physio- logists who, if they would communicate to Bell's Life the result of their observation and study in language comprehensible out of the lecture room, might prevent many very mistaken endeavours to improve the breed of cattle and other animals, and benefit all classes of the community.— Yours, & c, H.

Starter: Mr T. Marshall. Just as comparative quietude succeeds some movement on the battle field prior to the general attack, so it is fair to assume has ceased for a time anything approaching the fire and dash thrown into the commencement of the racing season last week at Lincoln. There, in prodigious fields, trials were afforded and measure8 taken, which, while perhaps sending some forever into the shade, foreshadowed in others the true line to many a heart- gladdening success in days to come. With respect tofields, therefore, it would be invidious to remark further upon the displays at the opening meeting, and its immediate successor on " merrie Sherwood," the promoters of both being of the most liberal stamp. As is pretty well known, the Nottingham management have long had to put up with an unfinished course, the additions to and alterations of which, already costing hundreds, are fast nearing completion. The few spectators present when the saddling bell first pealed on Tuesday naturally led to an inference that the artisan population were storing their time and money for the next week rejoicings, about to be carried out here on a scale regardless of cost; but the crowd increasing as the afternoon wore on showed that fondness of sport had predominated, or that there was no withstanding an " out'' in truly summer- like weather. And of the gathering in the Stand and betting enclosure we may at once state that the re- ceipts to- day exceeded those of previous years by some fifty pounds. The programme on the present occasion contained two extra items, the Maccaroni Plate, for half bred horses that have been " hunted," which we may note was a '' revival" after an inter- regnum of nearly thirty years, and the Welter Cup,— a new race,— 12st each, run for on the second day. The opening event was set for two o'clock, an arrangement that offered ample time and " a little in hand" for those passengers who availed themselves of the Great Northern and Midland trains, which quitted King's- cross about nine. The Trial Stakes looked so good a thing for old Twilight that 2 to 1 was freely betted on her, while 6 to 1 was offered " bar one," aud she landed the " certainty" by a very easy half length from Flying Fish, who, after running out- side her horses, came up with a wet sail at the finish. The Park Selling Stakes were looked upon as an equal certainty for Lufra, who was within an ace of upsetting calculations, for she just got home a short head from the Maid of Cadiz gelding, and was bought in for a " pony." The Nottingham Handicap next succeeded, but only seven numbers were telegraphed for it, and of these one— that of the Mountain Maid filly— was soon afterwards taken down, and the announcement made that she was struck out at five minutes past three, just ten minutes before the race. Sundry of the public had, it appears, " rushed on" in town, and in the end burnt their fingers; whereby a lesson may be drawn as to the policy, in certain cases at least, of waiting until " the numbers are up." The betting was confined almost entirely to Little Dick, Donne Canne, and Drumstick, but the win- ner turned up in Eevolver, who, in the face of the Lincoln running, Lord Stamford did not entrust with a single six- pence, and against whom 5 to 1 was currently offered. Of the others, Little Dick, whose stirrup- leather gave way passing the stand the first time, saved his stake four lengths from Eevolver, while Donne Canne, more especially, cut a very " dicky" figure, and Flirtation's jockey seemed all abroad when the flag fell, and got badly off. Peignoir,— within his distance to- day,— and Mrs. Somerville, were chiefly fancied for the Stand Plate Handicap, but it was a match nearly all the way with the latter and Estrelda, Mrs Somerville, who was penalised 51b for her Lincoln success, winning easily. Eight " half breds" startedfortheMaccaroniPlate, which the fancied Miss Taft, who was formerly in John Osborne's stable, but has lately been under Pickering's charge, had no diffi- culty in bearing off. An objection to her, however, had preceded the race, on the grounds of her being in a " public training stable," in opposition to the conditions, and the question was referred to the Stewards. Both these gentlemen, however, having bets on the race, the matter was next day gone into by Lord Stamford and Colonel Forester, who confirmed the placing of the Judge. After the Maccaroni Stakes came the Innkeepers' Plate, but Mrs Somer- ville— who, like Miss Taft in the former race, was backed at evens — evinced no ability to stay a mile, and finished last. Some little betting took place in the course of the afternoon on the Liverpool Steeple Chase, for which Avalanche was evidently on the descent, while several inquiries were made after Jealousy. The Dane was backed at 11 to 1, and Fosco and Arbury at 20 to 1 each. The observations already made relative to the weather and at- tendance on Tuesday are equally applicable to the following day, when the racing commenced half an hour earlier with the Scurry Handicap, substituted for a non- filling Juvenile 8elling race, for which the light weight Antar— not backed theday before— was made first favourite; but Flying Fish, giving the Hednesford colt a stone, beat him by a length and a half. Of the nine competitors for the Little John Stakes six had already appeared at Lincoln, the " dark" ones being Mr Hodgman's Virginia, Lord Bateman's Coimbra, and Mr Saxon's Lady Mary. The contest was, however, for the most part looked upon as mainly between Lady Nichol and Faith, and the inference proved correct, for Mr Marsh's smart looking and speedy filly, whom the ground suited exactly to- day, won all the way, and beat Faith at last by a clever length. For the Forest Plate Eevolver and Antidote started at about the same price, but the home- trained Leontes, who appears to have recovered his old form again, came out quite fresh to- day, and had it all his own way from end to end. Despite his previous inglorious exhibition Antar was again " stood" by his party for the Selling Stakes, but he again sold those who trusted him, and the Maid of Cadiz gelding proved the winner and benefited the fund some 24 sovs by her sale. The Welter Cup, as might have been anticipated, with such a well- known and successful horse as Wali Ali Shah ( late Eaby) in the way, proved a very easy triumph for him, and, although King of the Forest did not obtain a situation, the attention of more than one connoisseur was drawn to his fine hunting like con- dition, which reflected much credit on Mr Whitehall, Lord Stamford's stud groom at the Quorn. The hurdle race for once in a way had no representative of Wadlow's stable, hitherto no less in force than lucky for this event, nor had Walter White— no fewer than seven times the rider of the winner— a mount. Again, of the sixteen coloured on the card, five only sported silk, and of these two were put hors de combat before reaching the post, namely, The Prophet and Little Dick, the latter's first essay at timber vaulting. Both in their preliminary canters were following Nosegay, when the latter, dwelling at the hurdle, compelled the riders behind him to pull their animals, whereby both jumping sideways, fell on their jockeys, Knott, on The Prophet, being knocked senseless for a time, while W. Marson, on Little Dick, was more seriously, though not fatally, injured, as was at first supposed. Eemunera- tor, it will also be seen, came to grief in the race. The Hunt Cup, which wound up the sport in a hollow affair for The Doctor. During the afternoon some further changes were developed on the Liverpool 8teeple Chase. Satellite once more shone in the ascendant; Jealousy and The Dane were supported at 11 to 1 each ; and b ® th Arbury and Medora were invested on at odds varying from 20 to 1 to 100 to 6. Avalanche gave unmistakeable symptoms of having given way altogether. TUESDAY, MARCH 3.— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 25 added, for three years old and upwards, with penalties and allowances ; one mile and a quarter ; 9 subs. Mr Samuel's Twilight, by Mountain Deer, aged, 9st G. Fordham 1 t i Lord Stamford's Flying Fish, 3 yrs, 6st lib J. Loates 2 Mr Brooke's Flexmore, 4 yrs, 8st 101b Custance 3 Mr F. Leeson's Flirtation, 5 yrs, 9st Barker 4 t } Mr Saxon's Killarney, 3 yrs, 6st lib Lightfoot 5 Betting : 2 to 1 on Twilight, and 6 to 1 agst any other ( offered). Twilight, first off, was directly passed by Flexmore, who carried on the running, with the favourite and Flying Fish at his heels, Killarney fourth, to the T. Y. C. post, where Flirtation joined his horses, having lost eight or ten lengths in beginning through his rider's non- observance that the flag was down. They ran thus to outside the distance, whence the actual struggle was confined to Flexmore and the old mare, who got her head in front in a few strides, and won easily by half a length. Flying Fish, coming with a rush at the finish, beat the third by the same; the others well up. The PARK SELLING STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 20 added; for three year olds and upwards; rather above five furlongs; 4 subs. Mr Angell's Lufra, by Windhound, 3 yrs, 6st 31b ( 20 sovs) Woodhouse 1 Mr Hodgman's b g by Ellington out of Maid of Cadiz ( h b), 6st 31b ( 20) Morris 2 Mr T. Cliff's bk c Antar, 3 yrs, 6st 61b ( 20) Williamson 3 Betting: 2 to 1 on Lufra, who made play to the cutting, after which the Maid of Cadiz colt showed in advance to the straight, where Antar ran out, a fine race with the other two all the way up being in favour of Lufra, who reached the gelding in the last two strides, and won by a head; bad third. The winner was bought in for 25gs. The NOTTINGHAM SPRING HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 50 added; the second saved his stake ; winners extra; one mile and a half; 34 subs. Lord Stamford's Revolver, by Rifleman, 3 yrs, 6st. . J. Loates 1 Mr J. S. Shawe's Little Dick, 6 yrs, 7st T. French 2 Mr Hodgman's Soothsayer, aged, 6st 101b Morris 3 Mr J.

Meadows 5 Capt Coates's Flirtation, 5 yrs, 8st 21b Barker 6 Betting : 5 to 2 agst Little Dick, 7 to 2 agst Donne Canne, 4 to 1 agst Drumstick, and 5 to 1 agst any other ( offered). Drumstick, with Eevolver on his left, and the favourite on the whip hand, went off at a merry pace, a clear interval separating them and Sooth- sayer, whipped in by Donne Canne. After passing the Stand in this order, Eevolver, next the rails, took a slight lead of Little Dick, at whose quarters was Drumstick, in which position the leader remained down the back of the course to the distance, where Drnmstick beat a retreat, while Little Dick ( minus a stirrup in the early part of the race), failing in his effort to over- haul Lord Stamford's colt, was defeated in a canter by four lengths ; the third finishing nearly twice as far from the second. The number of the Mountain Maid filly, for whom Woodhouse weighed, was put up, but removed just before the others left the enclosure. The STAND PLATE of 50 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each for all ages ; winners 51b extra ; half a mile; 7 subs, t Mr Flutter's Mrs Somerville, by Kingston. 3 yrs, 6st 31b ( including sib extra) J.

Mrs Somerville got away in advance, iith Estrelda and East Sheen at her girths for about two hunred yards, wnen the pair first named came out and finished the ice; Mr Flutter's mare holding her own to the end, and winnin by a length and a half; the third beaten four lengths, Pupil ext, half as far from her; the favourite ( third at the Stand) finihing last, having, like Abron, got rather indifferently off.

The Baron, taking the lead, was soon half- a- dozen lengths inavanceof Shuttlecock, followed by Jingling Jenny and Miss Taft, o whom succeeded Wilford and Vanity; The Wren, tailed off eaiy, being pulled up at a mile, as was Venus half way down the fs side in the second round. The indicated positions of the otbrs under- went no material change until three quarters of a mile f> m home, when Miss Taft joined in front, and, on the retirement offheBaron at the straight, took up the running, which she carrie on to the end, and won by four lengths; Wilford a very bad thil; Vanity cantering in after the placed horses, but without passin the chair. An objection to Miss Taft, as explained above, was otrruled. The INNKEEPERS' PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs, ft all ages; winners 51b extra; one mile. Mr W.

Several failures preceded the start, in which all more or less took part, particularly Faith, whot wice ran to the distance. At length, however, the flag fell at the moment the lot were in line, those first showing in advance being the favourite, Faith, Virginia, and Lord Stamford's filly, who ran nearly abreast to thedistance, where Lady Nichol and Faith came out, and the former, soon obtaining a clear advantage, won easily by a length; Faith saving her stake two lengths in front of Corsica, with Virginia fourth, as far from her. At a clear interval Madame Tagliafico was fifth, followed by Coimbra, Sacrilege, and Lady di Vergy together, the last home being Lady Mary.

For a mile they were followed by York Minster and Paddy from Cork, when the latter became third, but, like the other, was out of the race long before Wajid Ali Shah took up the running midway in the bottom the last time, and, coming away at the straight, won by four lengths; bad third. Yorkminster broke down, while King of the Forest and Annesley, stopped directly after passing the Stand the first time, did not pass the chair. The GREAT ANNUAL HURDLE EACE HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 50 added; the second saved his stake; winners extra; two miles and a half, over eight hurdles; 22 subs. Mr Lincoln's br g Nosegay, by Sweetmeat, aged, lOst 21b Palmer 1 Mr Adams's Ledbury, 4 yrs, 9st31b J. Holman 2 Mr T. Hughes's Remunerator, aged, 9st 21b Reed 0 The betting opened at 5 to 4 agst Nosegay, and 5 to 2 agst Eemunerator, but after the accidents to The Prophet and Little Dick in their preliminary jump, noticed elsewhere, it was even on Nosegay and 2 to 1 agst Eemunerator, though during the race both were favourites alternately. Nosegay cleared the Stand timber in advance, from whence Eemunerator took up the run- ning with a commanding lead for a mile and a half, when the pair took close order and raced head and head to the final hur- dles, which Eemunerator crossed with the gelding at his girths. The former, however, landing on his head, shot his jockey head- long before him, and went on without him, Nosegay thus win- ning by nearly a distance, seeing that Ledbury, outpaced from the beginning, was never at any time in the race.

Lambert's Violet, aged, 12st 71b Mr Harris 4 Betting: 6 to 4 each agst Canteen and Violet. Canteen in the van was succeeded for more than a mile by the others abreast, after which the leader began to tire, and, eventually dropping behind the last time round, let up The Doctor, who immediately administered the quietus to his followers, and won by four lengths; Canteen, who came again at the distance for another off chance, finishing twenty lengths ahead of Warrior and Violet, who ran home together. Betting: Even on Mrs Somerville, 5 to 2 agst Ja<' s Alive, and 3 to 1 agst Henham Lass. Jack's Alive and Feiinand ran in front to the straight, where the top weight closed p, and, having only Jack to contend with from the half distance,> eat him, after a rattling set- to, by a head; the third beaten a lesth and a half; bad fourth.

Starter : Mr T. Marshall. Clerk of the Course and Handicapper : Mr J. Bradfield. THURSDAY, MARCH 3.— This meeting followed closely upon the Nottingham Spring, so that three days' sport was held in the same locality. The lisl was well filled, but the same class of horses had to run out their engagements at Derby, the only difference being the S; eeple Chase, which Nottingham cannot boast of, owing to the great difficulty of getting a line of country, which cannot be got for love or money, whilst at Derby it is uni- versally considered almost as good a country as Lincoln. It was very evident to- day, from the immense company present, that the Steeple Chase attracted the " million." The Union Hunt 8teeple Chase and the Selling Hurdle Eace not having filled, the day's sport was redu; ed to five races. The weather was very fa- vourable, the course : n the finest possible order, and the attend- ance at the Grand Stand very large, the receipts showing a great increase over all former Spring Meetings. Proceedings com- menced at two o'clofk with the Harrington Plate, for which Dis- dain was made a wjrm favourite; but the race was never in doubt after the flag fell, ; or old Leentes getting the best of the start, made the whole of ; he running, and won in a canter. Sinking Fund won the Hurdle Rice very easily, beating a moderate field. The Staunton Harold, for two year olds, fell to the let of Measure for Measure, a stable companion of Lady Nichol, who won the Little John Stakes at Nottingham yesterday. The race never was in doubt, and the fi ly, who thus realised the hopes of her backers, is reported to be i better animal than Lady Nichol. The Selling Stakes was carriid off by Lufra, who won cleverly by a length. The day's sport was brought to a close by the Midland Steeple Chase, which p- oduced the largest field of the day. Emblem was the selected favourite, who won in a canter, after a quick run race, and was afterwards backed freely for the Liverpool Steeple Chase It was a most satisfactory day's sport, and we cannot bring < ur remarks to a close without complimenting the committee oi the success of the meeting, which was very ably managed by he respective officials. The HAHBINJTON PLATE of 30 sovs, added to a Handicap Sweep- stakes of csovs each ; winners extra; one mile. Mr R. Rildell's br g Leontes, by Tadmor, aged, 7st lb ( including 51b extra) H.

Marlow, jun 7 Bettin? : 6 to 4 agst Disdain, 2 to 1 agst Leontes, and 7 to 1 agst any othir. After several failures they got away, True Heart and True BUe getting the worst of the start. Leontes jumped off with the leaf, followed by Disdain and Bedford. They ran thus to the bend, vhere Bedford took the second place, but dropped away at the disance. The old horse, however, held his lead to the end, and w » n very easily by a couple of lengths; four lengths between the se; ond and third, and half a length the third and fourth; bad fifth .- the other two beaten off. A HURDLE EACE of 50 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each, 2 f to the fund ; winners extra; two miles, over eight hurdles. Jr Baker's Sinking Fund ( late Harry), by Student, aged, lost J.

Sinking Fund made play at a good pee, followed by Prophet and Butterfly for about a quarter of a nile, when Butterfly took the second place, the others well up. Jiey ran thus to the bottom turn in the last round, where Prophet tent on in waiting upon the favourite, who held his lead to the nd, and won very easily by three lengths; a good race for second iace between Prophet and Butterfly, which the former obtained jy a neck; very bad fourth.

Betting : 9 to 4 agst Emblem. 7 to 2 agst Sinking Fund, 6 to 1 agst Pineapple, 7 to 1 agst Nosegay, and 8 to 1 agst Heads or Tails. Pineapple cut out the work, with Heads or Tails, Piff Paff, and several others close up. They raced together to the first hurdle, where Heads or Tails took up the running, followed by Pineapple, Sinking Fund, and Piff Paff; while Xanthus refused the second hurdle, and lost a good deal of grsund. On entering the enclosures in the first round, Heads or Tails took second place, with Sinking Fund, Sir Bobby, and Emblem well laid up. Before approaching the brook Mary Ann took up the running, followed in the order named by Sinking Fund, Sir Bobby, Heads or Tails, Piff Paff, and Pineapple. All got well over the water jump, ex- cepting Xanthus, who bolted on to the course, and took no further part in the race. Soon after leaving the water jump, Sinking Fund went to the front, but on reaching the last hurdle on the course, Emblem, full of running, passed Nosegay and Sinking Fund, and charged the hurdle about a clear length in advance. She was never afterwards approached, and won in a canter by six lengths; a head between the second and third; moderate fourth. These were all that passed the post. Nosegay finished his career by breaking down very badly in his off fore leg. The pace was very good all the way, and it was a quick run race. LATEST BETTING ON THE COUESE.

THURSDAY, MARCH 5.— In the old coaching days few halting places were more familiar than the White Hart and Chipping Norton. And herein lay the mainspring of its popularity, for, although having now a branch railway, it is yet so far from a main line, that in point of trade and traffic it might do as well without steam communication at all. Recently, however, the curious old town has rather been famous in connection with the Heythrop Hounds, and a hunting country second to none in the kingdom. Encouraged by the latter circumstance, more than one attempt has been made to establish an annual steeple chase meeting, but somehow without being able to ensure its perma- nence. Being, however, now in the hands of a few of the right sort, leaves no doubt as to the future stability of the highly suc- cessful and pleasant gathering re- started on Thursday last. A short stroll northwards of the town, through sunny pastures and scenery invested with a poetical hal ® , now brought the visitor to the course, forming as it were the centre of a magnificent circle of hills. Here, under the direction and praiseworthy exertions of Mr Lindow, a line of the old stamp was laid out, consisting of brambled raspers, double ditches, and widish brooks, such as the thorough bred hunter alone can get over. Hence the failure of the Free Handicap, three of the seven tered for which had arrived, but the owner of one objecting to the country, the chase fell to the ground. Not so the United Hunters" Stakes, which brought out five tirst- class animals, in- cluding the Moreton horses, Tupsley and Bounce ; the latter, it will be seen, turning the tables on his former conqueror, whom he met to- day on terms 191b better than before. The remaining items on the card pretty well evidenced the difference be- tween good and indifferent horses over a stiff line, affording lots of excitement to a large and fashionable attendance, though, fer- tunately, unattended by any accident of moment; everything, in fact was carried out with the greatest good humour and hi- larity, thanks to the arrangements of the excellent secretary, Mr James. The UNITED HUNTERS' STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for four year olds and upwards; winners extra; gentlemen riders, with allowances for non- winners; about three miles; 0 sub St Mr Duffield's b gBounce, byTupsley. l3st71b ( in 141b ex) Owner Mr Meiklan's b g Tupsley, by Tupsley, 6 yrs, 13st ( iacluding 71b extra) Mr Park Mr Capel's ch g High Pressure, 12st 71b Mr Davidson Mr Bolt's ch g The Swallow, 12st 21b Owner Major Shirley's b g Dicebox ( h b), by Hazard, 5 yrs. list 91b Mr C. Holland Betting: 6 to 4 agst Bounce, 2 to 1 agst Tupsley, and 4 to 1 agst any other. They ran in a body to the first fence, which Bounce and Tupsley cleared in advance, the rest, through momentarily dwelling, being left several lengths behind. Clearing the next two or three jumps like a cat gave the favourite a commanding advantage down to the brook, also crossed in gallant style, fol- lowed by Tupsley and Dicebox, the rear being brought up by The Swallow and High Pressure together. Thus they proceeded with- out mistake for about two miles, when a refusal brought Bounce back to his herses, of whom The Swallow looked very formidable, until his rider's foot, slipping out of the stirrup at a leap, sent him last of everything. Two or three fences from home the chance of Dicebox was similarly disposed of by bolting round, the re- mainder being a mere canter for Bounce, who, recovering the command, increased it as he went on, and won by three lengths; half a length dividing second and third, Dicebox a middling fourth. At the scale it was alleged that all but High Pressure had gone wrong, and the race was claimed accordingly ; but the contrary having been satisfactorily shown, the claim was aban- doned.

The leader soon after whipped round, but being directly righted, caught Fidget, in advance, and rolling against her, knocked the rider from the saddle. Clinging to the mare's neck, he, however, pluckily regained his seat, and made up a good deal of lost ground ; but the pilot again coming down on his own account a few fences onwards, Fidget, though remounted, had no more to do with the chase, whilst Barmaid, giving Nathalie the go- by before crossing the last fence, won by half a distance; Charney having cut it at about a mile and a half. There were no bidders for the winner. A SILVER CUP, with 10 sovs added; list each; three miles.

Charney cut out the work to the second fence, and there fell a burster; after which High Pressure had it all his own way, and came in alone, the others having fallen or tired to nothing; Harkaway, second to the last fence, resigned with a fall to Barmaid, who next caught the judge's eye after the winner. __ ROYAL ARTILLERY STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards: Colonel F. Campbell, R. A.; Captain A. W. Williams, R. H. A.; Captain J. Vibart, R. A. Judge : Colonel F. Campbell. Clerks of the Course: Major Lukin and Captain Forbes. THUR8DAY, March 5.— These steeple chases, which are prin- cipally got up among the officers of the Royal Artillery, and which are looked forward to with perhaps as much pleasure by the gentlemen of the surrounding country as the Epsom Derby day is by the metropolitans, was brought to issue on Thursday last, over the same ground as last year, in the neighbourhood of Eltham, and about two miles and a half from Woolwich. An excellent line of country was selected to be run over, composed of nearly all grass land, with the exception of two fields, one of wheat and another of plough. There were a great many fences of all descriptions, including several wide brooks and ditches, but the ground was capital going. The weather was beautifully fine, the sun shining with great brilliancy, and the attendance was very large, some thousands of per- sons being present. There was a good stand and enclosure, in which some speculation took place upon each event. At twelve o'clock the sport commenced with the race for the Gold Cup. for which sixteen horses were entered, and twelve came to the post, and the prize was won by a good- looking horse called Chickahoniny, admirably piloted by Captain Keene. The second event was won easily by old Hazard, beating seven others, and the Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, was won by Ubique, the once well- known flat racer, who, hav- ing been out many times with the hounds, has now become a remarkably fine jumper; he upset a great " pot" on Thub- berorum. A £ 30 Plate followed, which Slasher gained after unshipping his rider, defeating six others. The Woolwich Town Cup brought to the post only three competitors, and after the lot had made a great many blunders and refusals, Crinoline, a little Welsh mare, carried it off. Upon returning to weigh in, the rider of the mare— a mere boy— so delighted the spectators by winning, that it is said they pulled him off the mare to carry him in on their shoulders, and Captain Forbes, who was endeavour- ing to keep the mob back and away from the horses in returning to the enclosure, became so much excited, that he whipped and recover the spectators. This proceeding caused a great tumult, and- s<> captain was pulled off his h ® rse by the mob. A general fifttL- ; n ensued among the police, soldiers, and civilians, which lasSr- some time, until Captain Forbes was dragged into the Stand. A match, in which Crinoline won, wound up the pro- ceedings, and, but for the unlucky disturbance, the sports would have terminated in a most satisfactory manner. The racing was of a most exciting description, in consequence of so many falls during the contests, but we are glad to state neither riders nor horses were injured, with the exception of the mare Grizzle, who was badly staked. Military time, we may add, was kept throughout the day. The ROYAL ARTILLERY GOLD CUP, value 100 BOVS, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, for horses bona fide and uncon- ditionally the property of, and to be ridden by, officers on full pay of the Royal Artillery; 12st each ; winners extra; about three miles.

Black Prince cut out the work with Sulina, Gitana, Chickahoniny, and Mavourneen well up. After running about half a mile, all taking some slight fences in fine style, they came to a brook, with brambles on each side, which required a bit of " doing," and they charged it in about the order named, but several taking it un- kindly, brought their riders to grief, but they immediately re- mounted, and followed on. Black Prince still continued the lead, and went up the hill on the far side of the course to the left of the Stand, at a great pace, but in coming down the hill, facing the Stand, blundered at a bank and hedge, and threw his gallant rider a regular " cropper;" he was soon, however, in the pigskin again. Several others refused the same fence, and when put at it again Grizzle staked herself very badly, Ubique, following in her track, also came to grief. The race was now entirely between the three placed, and half a mile from the finish it was any odds upon Chickahoniny, who held a commanding lead, which he main- tained the remaining distance, and won in a canter by six lengths; half a length between second and third, Black Prince was a very bad fourth, nothing else passed the winning post. The majority of the other competitors having come to grief, walked their horses home some time after the winner had weighed in. Ubique's gallant rider being much shaken. Grizzle ( who should have been destroyed) was led off the ground. The pace was remarkably good throughout, which w as the cause, in a great measure, of so many horses coming to grief. AJSTEEPLE CHASE of 5 sovs each, withJ75 added, for horses ( bona fide and unconditionally the property of officers of the navy and full pay of the army, and to be ridden by the same) that have never won a public steeple chase or hurdle race; 12 stone; R.

The favourite made nearly all the running, although he refused once at a quickset hedge, and cantered in a winner by twenty lengths, three lengths separating the second from the third ; Carlow was a shocking bad fourth. The refusals, tumbles, and duckings in the brooks were numerous, and Freddy, much fancied by the spectators from his good looks, and through having such a fine horseman up, went head first into a brook, in spite of the skill of his gallant rider. A SWEEPSTAKES of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 50 added, for horses bona fide and unconditionally the property of, and to be ridden by, officers on full pay of the Royal Artillery; list each; win- ners extra; about three miles over a fair hunting country.

The favourite made the principal part of the running to just below the distance, when Ubique got his head up to the favourite's quarters, challenged him half- way up the dis- tance, and headed him a dozen lengths from home. The judge pronounced Ubique the winner by a length; Chickahoniny, who had been down on his head during the race, being a bad third; the others beaten off. A PLATE of 30 sovs, given by the officers of the Royal Artillery, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, for horses that have been regularly hunted, either with the Old Surrey and West Kent Foxhounds, or with Mr Russell's Harriers; weights 12st each.

The favourite rushed to the front immediately the flag fell, and cutout the work at a strong pace. Alexandra, Lord Dundreary, and Lassie following in the order named. Upon reaching the brook Lord Dundreary blundered and fell, and at the next fence before reaching the ploughed land nearly the whole lot refused, and at the second attempt the Slasher fell, bringing his rider to grief, who, nothing daunted by this mishap, caught his horse and soon remounted. Alexandra then took up the running, but having with others refused several fences, let up the favourite. At the third fence from home Alexandra fell, which mishap allowed Slasher to canter in an easy winner by six lengths. Lassie was a bad third, the others walked in some time afterwards. The re- fusals and falls were again numerous. The WOOLWICH TOWN CUP, value 30 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 2 sovs each, for horses bona fide and unconditionally the pn> perty of civilians residing within two miles of Woolwich: list each ; two miles.

After a multiplicity of refusals by all three, Crinoline managed at last to win by several lengths. An objection was then made to the winner on the ground of her rider dismounting immediately he lud passed the winning post. The stewards went into the case on Friday morning, and awarded the stakes to Crinoline. MATCH 10; catch weights; about one mile and a half. Mr Clapham's Crinoline, aged T.

CHELTENHAM STEEPLE CHASE.— The Cheltenham Grand Annual Steeple Chase and the Borough Plate close on Wednesday next, the 11th inst.—[ See advertisement.] Mr Banks, of Tattershall, has sold his clever little mare Victress, by Augur ( winner of the Hunt Steeple Chase at Lincoln on Thurs- day week), to Mr Holmes, of Beverley, for £ 200. The little heroine is but 14 hands 3j inches high, and girths the extraor- dinary measure of six feet. She was bred by the Earl of Zetland in 1855, and is by Augur out of a favourite pony of his lordship's, who originally intended her for a hack, but she turned out a little too playful for the earl, and in consequence passed into the hands of Mr Banks. KN0WLE HUNT STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards: B. Willden, R. Walter^, and T Wilkes, Esqs. MONDAY, MARCH 2.— Want of publicity of what ought really to have been a successful affair, told sadly against the promoters of these chases, which, revived last year on the smallest primitive scale, had now the advantages of a splendid course and the Co- ventry stand, the few patrons wherein to- tay barely yielded half the money expended in its hire and erection. The free- seeing community, from the adjacent neighbourhoods were, however, in tolerable force; but, as we have said, the non- anticipation of con- venience or sport prevented the visit of numbers, unware even that some of the Sutton horses were here engaged to re- fight their battles in charming weather.

The favourite, after forcing the pace foithe first hun- dred yards, was pulled back, leaving Hereford and Jeremy Did- ler in advance until the latter, refusing the third ferce, figured in the rear with Mary Ann. For a mile Hereford thrnce went on with a strong lead, but, the saddle cloths slipping, hi came back to his horses, and It's all Over took up the running, sicceeded by Fanny, Bridesmaid, Dublin Bess, and Hereford, who was stopped soon afterwards, and returned home with the blunderhg and out- paced Despised, Mary Ann having just previously cone to grief. In the concluding three quarters of a mile everything tlse having been beaten off, the lead alternated with the favourite aid Brides- maid to the small brook jump in the bottom, which It's all Over overjumped, and got rid of his rider, whereby Bridesmad won by twenty lengths.

The favourite laid away until his two opponents went on the wrong side of a flag at the brook in thtfirst round, thus enabling the old flat racer to take the lead, and, gridu- ally stealing ahead, he won by two distances. There was no ud- der for the winner.

The latter and Jacques cut out the whole of the work to the brook, if such it could be called, in the last round, where, racing for the lead, both committed the blunder of Alice Grey and Mr Park's mare in the previous chase, the place, double flagged, with a slight bush in front, being considerably short of the re- quired width. Before rectifying the mistake the pair were passed by Wilful, otherwise out of the race, and who thus, by a sheer fluke, scored the second win within a week for Hadley's stable by twenty lengths; Tippler having cut up even worse than at Bir- mingham.

At half- past eleven o'clock this morning the Victoria and Albert yacht, bearing the royal bride, arrived at the pier at Gravesend. As soon as the vessel was brought to, the National Anthem was played by the bands, and frequent bursts of cheers echoed along the river. The princess at once advanced towards the bulwark ot- the vessel, and gracefully acknowledged this commencement of her reception by the English nation. At ten minutes to twelve his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales entered the Terrace Pier and immediately proceeded through the long aisle of young ladies stationed on either side for the purpose of throwing flowers in the princess's path, and immediately went on board. Upon first meeting his bride, his royal highness gallantly kissed her in view of the spectators in front of the pier, who set up a cheer at this lover- like incident. The Prince of Wales, with the princess leaning on his arm, came on shore at 20 minutes past 12, when they were most heartily greeted. A glance at her royal highness justified all the praise already be- stowed upon her personal charms, her countenance and carriage being equally attractive. It may be added that the complexion of the princess is fair and her features animated, and that none of the photographs so familiar to the public are equal to the origi- nal. Her dress consisted of a purple velvet mantle, trimmed with sable, a white bonnet trimmed with mauve, and a silk dress of a very pale slate colour; a sable muff and pale lavender- coloured gloves. Several of the royal carriages were in attend- ance to convey the royal party to the railway station, the first of which was occupied by the royal pair, the Princess Phyra, her royal highness's sister, and one of her brothers. The procession through the town was one continued demonstration of affection- ate welcome— a fitting precursor of the reception awaiting her in the metropolis. The train, consisting of nine carriages, started from Gravesend station at 10 minutes to one, and| at every station to London, which occupied about 50 minutes, the welcome was most enthusiastic. . The train arrived at 10 minutes to two at the Bricklayers' Arms station, which was decorated for the occasion. The Duke of Cambridge and Sir George Grey arrived at about half- past one, and were on the platform ready to receive his royal highness and his bride. The outer reception, rooms were lined with a favoured party of spectators, including the directors of the company and a host of officials, lords, and generals. An inner room was reserved for luncheon, and another was fitted up as a boudoir. Several addresses were then pre- sented, and at precisely two o'clock the royal party came for. ward to acknowledge the ^ repeated cheers of the multitude, and afterwards entered the carriages. The procession then went for- ward, in which the various companies in the City of London took the lead ; then followed the officers of the City, and after them the royal carriages, escorted by a troop of the Horse Guards. On arriving at the Mansion House, the Lady Mayoress proceeded down the steps to the door of the carriage, and handed to the princess a bouquet of choice flowers, which was graciously re- ceived. The progress of the procession from the Mansion House was uninterrupted to Temple Bar, where it arrived by a quarter to four o'clock. At this place a delay of some minutes took place, occasioned by the retirement of the City com- panies up Chancery- lane. From Temple Bar the road was kept as far as ^ Jharing- cross by the police and the Royal Horse Guards. From thence to Hyde Park- corner the ground was kept by the 2d Life Guards. Hyde Park was eccupied by the volunteers, 17,000 of whom were drawn up, in double row, on either side of the line of the procession as far as the Marble, arch. From there to Paddington the road was kept clear by the police and the 18th Hussars. Along the whole line the cheering was immense; and there could be no doubt whatever as to the sincere desire of all present to give a hearty welcome to the bride of his royal highness. The Paddington station was reached by a quarter past five o'clock, and shortly afterwards the special train started for Windsor, amidst the cheering of the crowd of persons who were assembled within the station. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY— THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES'S ANNUITY BILL passed through committee. COAST VOLUNTEERS.— The Duke of SOMERSET, in moving for the second reading of the Naval Coast Volunteers Act Amend- ment Bill, briefly explained the object of this bill, which was to abolish the restriction as to service of 300 miles from the coast in respect to future volunteers.— Lord HARDWICKE considered that the enormous number of 76,000 seamen and marines was uncalled for in time of peace.— The Duke of SOMERSET said it was inex- pedient, under existing circumstances, to reduce the naval forces of the country. TUESDAY— THE PRINCE AND PRINCES8 OF WALES ANNUITY BILL was read a third time and passed. No other business was transacted. THURSDAY.— THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALE8' S ANNUITY BILL obtained the royal assent, and the house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY— DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE.— The Union Relief Aid Act ( 1862) Continuance Bill passed through the com- mittee, after undergoing certain amendments of the old clauses, new clauses having been likewise added.— A clause, of which notice had been given by Mr Hibbert, to give power to the Public Works Loan Commissioners to advance money to unions, was declared by the Chairman to be informal, the previous consent of the Crown not having been obtained.— Mr VILLIERS doubted the expediency of conceding such power in such a case, for which there was no precedent, and which re- quired very grave and deliberate consideration.— The proposition was, however, pressed very strongly upon the Government by Colonel PATTEN and other members.— On the other hand, Mr HENLEY complained that there was a want of information as to how much the counties had actually raised in the different unions, as a ground for such an unusual and somewhat dangerous proposition. THE TOBACCO DUTIES BILL, after much discussion, was read a second time. TUESDAY— THE REGENT CIRCUS RAILWAY BILL was thrown out. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.— On the order for the second reading of the Municipal Elections Bill, Mr G. HARDY moved to defer the second reading for six months.— After a short discus- sion, in which Mr Berkeley, Mr Paget, and Mr Locke spoke very briefly in favour of the bill, Mr A. SMITH, who had charge of the bill, and who had not been present when the order was called, entered very fully into the objects and merits of the measure.— Lord PALMERSTON said, as it was avowed by the supporters of the bill that this was a step to the introduction of the ballot into par- liamentary elections, and as every objection to the employment of the ballot in those elections applied to those for municipal bodies, considering that responsibility ought to go hand in hand with political action, he should vote for the amendment.— Upon a division, the amendment was carried by 93 to 58; so the bill is lost. THE BIRTHS and DEATHS REGISTRATION ( IRELAND) BILL was read a third time and passed. WEDNESDAY— QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES.— Mr HADFIELD, in moving the third reading of the Qualification for Offices Abolition Bill, reiterated the arguments he had urged upon previous occasions in support of the measure, contending that the declaration it proposed to abolish was unjust, useless, and, notwithstanding the legal consequences, often neglected to be taken.— On a division, the third reading was carried by 175 to 172, and the bill passed. SALMON FISHERIES ( IRELAND) BILL.— Mr M'MAHON moved that the house should go into committee on this bill.— Lord FERMOY rose to move that the bill should be referred to a select committee.— After much discussion the debate was ad- journed. THURSDAY— ENTRY OF THE PRINCESS ALEXANDRA. — Sir G. BOWYER said it appeared that the object of leaving the Lord Mayor and the City authorities at Temple Bar was to enable the procession to proceed at a rapid pace to Paddington. He wished therefore to ask the Secretary of State for the Home De- partment whether, having regard to the desire of the citizens of London to show all possible respect to her Royal Highness the Princess of Denmark, and the wish of the public outside the City to see the full solemnity of the procession next Saturday, arrange- ments would be made for the Lord Mayor and the City procession to attend her royal highness as far as Paddington ?— Captain STACFOOLE asked whether any provision had been made for mem- bers of that house to join in the procession?— Sir G. GREY: It is the first time I have either heard or seen it stated that the proces- sion is to proceed at a rapid rate from Temple Bar. I thought I had explained clearly on Friday night that the City authorities would take precedence to Temple Bar, and that they would then give place to the other local authorities, who had an equal right with the civic authorities to take precedence in their own district. The Lord Chamberlain, through whom the communications with the City have been chiefly carried on, has informed me that he has received a communication from the City authorities expressive of their satisfaction with the arrangements that have been made. They have been finally concluded with the concurrence of all the persons who from their local connections are entitled to take part in them. To make any change now in the arrangements would only introduce disorder and confusion. In answer to the hon and gallant gentleman ( Captain Stacpoole), I have to say that no place has been assigned to this house in the procession. STATE OF THE NAVY.— Mr COBDEN called attention to the large number of obsolete vessels of war in the British navy, and to the conduct of our naval administration, which had produced this state of things. He would, he said, describe what he meant by " obsolete vessels of war." We had now, besides corvettes and small vessels, 106 wooden steam line- of- battle ships or large frigates, and, after the invention of a kind of artillery which pro- jected shells not vertically, but horizontally, with all the precision of the ordinary artillery, these wooden vessels were rendered ob- solete, not by iron- clad vessels of war alone, but they were ob- jectionable before an iron- clad vessel was made. Since the intro- duction of iron- clad vessels, indeed, wooden ships of war were not merely worthless, but a source of weakness. There had been no want of warning; we had had warnings from all quarters. He considered that the Admiralty was responsible for £ 10,000,000 wasted upon these useless wooden line- of- battle ships. On whom did the blame rest? It must be divided, he said, between the two sides of the house. He referred to a variety of docu- ments and detailed statements relating to the navy of France as well as that of England in order to establish his conclusions, and he cited a declaration of Lord C. Paget, in 1858, when out of office, which he contrasted with statements made by him in moving the Navy Estimates in 1860 and in 1861.— Lord C. PAGET said the great mass of the men in wooden ships were em- ployed, not in large but in small vessels, on distant stations. He complained of the broad statements made by Mr Cobden, and defended the late and the present Admiralty, who were quite right in making great exertions at particular periods to put the navy in an efficient state. Mr Cobden, he ob- served, had not well- timed his criticisms; he had waited until the events were over, when it was safe to criticise.— After some further discussion the house went into a committee of supply on the remaining navy estimates, which were agreed to after discussion. No other business of importance was transacted. FRIDAY-— The business in both houses was almost entirely confined to a discussion of the Brazils question, but nothing trans- pired up to the time that this portion of our paper went to press to call for a report. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. During the last few days the Money Market has become very active and much firmer, owing to the mercantile classes having supplied themselves with the necessary funds for their require- ments during the holidays attending the royal marriage. The business of several days having been negotiated at once, a little temporary pressure has prevailed. The Bank return shows that an important addition has been made to the other securities; and that the gold has been reduced, though not to a large extent. Commercial affairs have undergone no change of importance, but there is evidently a gradual expansion, which is likely to be fur- ther developed before the summer. Business at the Stock Ex- change has been much curtailed, but Consols have nevertheless been steady ; they closed yesterday ( Friday) afternoon at 92j 5 for transfer, and at 92| | for the April account. The Foreign Stock market during the week exhibited very little animation, and the variations in prices were of an unim- portant character. Old Turkish Six per Cents, improved about 1. The loan of 1858 declined J, and the loan of 1862 i to The Italian loan advanced 1. The Egyptian loan and Spanish Passive Bonds, J. Mexican Stock declined 1, and Greek Bonds improved J. In the Foreign and Colonial Markets the dealings were limited; prices, however, generally exhibited rather an improving tea- dency. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

" I 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, MARCH 8, 1863. THE CI^ ASE. THE CHESHIRE HOUNDS. Ms EDITOR : Fox hunting in this, its indigenous soil, does not meed illustrious patronage to make it papular. The fields now seen at every fashionable meet, the large studs of horses scattered ihiekly all over the country, the high prices realised for all good weight carrying hunters, the tradesman with his harness horse that he buys with an eye to having a day occasionally with hounds, the ploughman and thesheplierd who so gladly telegraph the fox, down to the school boy, who, with the terror of the rod before his eyes, plays truant to see the hounds, shows that in merry England rich and poor, old and young, look upon this as par exccllence the sport, and are the most speaking proofs of the fact. But what it will reach now it is established as a royal pastime, and the Prince of Wales, son of our beloved Queen, is to be seen going in the first flight over the grass, with the Pytehley, and noble dukes from France come to our country to partake of the joys of the chase, I think the " oldest inhabitant" can hardly tell. That it is the only sport, using the term in its true sense, MO one can deny, and although we are all liable to ride our hobby too much, yet it must be confessed that all others odour a little either of the " pocket or the pot," two things that fox- hunting cannot possibly be charged with. It affords no opportunity for betting. There is nothing to be won but the character for going straight, and our game is given to the hounds. That it is the means of causing more money to be spent in the country, and on the pro- ducts of the country than any other sport, I think is equally true; and what it costs to kill a fox, taking into consideration original cost and keep of hounds and horses ( all the year sound), servants, saddlery, farriers, cum multis aliis, would be a good subject for lovers of statistics, and would, no doubt, surprise us all. Whilst the Pytchley have been enjoying themselves in the presence of our future King we have been having our " little go" with an illustrious stranger in the person of the Due d'Au- male. On Saturday last these hounds met at Wrenbury , and the pretty little village green was covered with scarlet coats, worn by well- mounted men, to honour our noble visitor. The neighbour- ing hunts were well represented— Sir Watkin W. Wynn and Col Cotton from Wales; several gentlemen from the North Stafford- shire and some from Warwickshire. The duke, accompanied by the Earl of Shrewsbury, arrived at about eleven, when Capt White, who acted for Lord Grosvenor, who was unavoidably absent, gave the order for Courts Gorse, which has afforded us such good things this year, but having been rather too hard upon it Charley was not at home. Drew another little cover blank, and then on to Combermere, were we soon found at the Cocked Hat Planta- tion. It was a beautiful break, fox and hounds all in view of the field at one time, when he went across the park at a deuceof a pace, having in his eye a little hole under the root of an oak tree, which he sucoaeded in reaching about three yards before the leading hound. We had hardly time to regret our bad luck before an- other was halloa'd away from the gorse on the hill, and he led us Tight across the park to the Abbey, going in front of that, skirting all along the side of the mere, and on to the big wood, through that to Branklow Moss; then bear- ing to the left up to the corner of the park, as if un- willing to leave the place where he had been treated so well, he went out over some " uncommon" big ditches to Black Park, then OK to Oss mere, and over the Chester and Shrewsbury Railway, leaving Peal Gorse on the left, to Belvedere, where we came to " a short check, and glad enough many. of us were for it. Up to this, which occupied thirty minutes, the pace had been fast, and the country rode heavy. " The hounds were soon on to him again, and hunted him on towards Whitchurch, where he turned to the right, and made for the Ellesmere and Chester Canal at Quoisley Locks, but thinking better of it, he ran parallel with the eanal for a couple of miles > r more, and, scent improving, he went on at a rattling pace to Marbury, through the park, on the sight of the mere, and on to Marley Moss, where he was killed after one hour and thirty minutes. The Duke was mounted on a great, good- looking, black brown hunter, and looked and rode like a sportsman, but he was obliged to leave before the fox was broken up to catch the train. On Feb 23d we had a very nice run from Huxley Gorse. ® he meet was Beeston Station; we found directly; the fox crossed the lane to Huxley Church, and away to Clotton Planta- tion. Here they began to run in earnest, over Milton Brook, which Marshal Brooks charged gallantly, but came to grief, dis- solving partnership with his horse. Nothing daunted, he tried again, and got over, reaping the reward his pluck so richly deserved, while the rest of the field got over lower down. This contretemps gave the hounds a chance, and settling to their fox, they forced him past Clotton Hall, over the Chester and Tarporley road at Clotton toll- bar, where he turned short to the right, towards Ash Wood, but leaving that on the left, went right through Oxpasture Wood, skirting Utkinton Village, away for Summer House Hill, crossing the road just by Colebrook, and on to Eaton Tillage. Here he was headed and turned short back, through the meadows as if for High Billinge, into the Holbitcli Slack, where the hounds ran into Mm. Time, fifty minutes. The hounds did their work to per- fection, and it was altogether an unusually good day's sport, the distance run over was great, and tried the patience of the hounds and the courage of the horsemen.— Yours, & c, Feb 25,1863. SCARLET RUNNER. ME ROLLE'S HOUNDS. MB EDITOR: On Wednesday, Feb 25, the above hounds met at Wooley, one of a series of precipitous covers by the side of the - Torridge, which are all as thick as a door- mat, Wooley being, if anything, extra stout. At the appointed time the hounds were thrown into cover, and whilst drawing, a fox was viewed stealing away, crossing the water. The hounds immediately going to halloo, got away on excellent terms with him, and regularly racing ove* the opposite marshes into the woods overhanging the river, which here takes many winding turns, were soon into Little Torrington Wood. Here the pack divided, nine couple, how- ever, sticking to the hunted fox. Whitemore soon got them to- gether again, and Charley, after running his foil and dodging about the numerous covers, recrossed the Torridge into Deers- hill Wood; finding no rest here, he made his point for Stevenstone. Again the pace made him alter his mind, and turning to the right, skirting St Giles, made for Dodscot Wood, but before he could roach that friendly shelter he was pulled down, after having shown a good woodland run of one hour and twenty minutes. The day still being young, though a very hot and close one, we moved on to Roborough Wood, which, however, was drawn blank, though a strong drag told of a fox being handy; and sure enough, in a pretty little bit of gorse, on the opposite side of the valley, we found our friend, who, after escaping an ignominious chop, broke, with the whole pack at his brush, going away over the wood just drawn, without dwelling a moment. Past Ebberly House, leaving the Ebberly Arms on the left, he pointed as if for Enowl, but suddenly turned to the light, evidently bound for the Portsmouth Arms covers. It now came to hunting ; and beautiful, indeed, was it to see the hounds ( we had the big pack) pick the line across the cold ploughed land and undrained clay soil, which was now on all gides of us. Our fox here got ahead a bit, but the land im- proving, so did the scent, and away we rattled merrily past Wiclc Cross, on to Gratley Wood. Here we had long check, and thought our fun was now over ; but Whitemore making a clever cast, old Telegram and Roguish hit oft' the line, our fox having wheeled sharp to the left, with- out going into the wood, and away we go again up the hill to- • wards High Bickington, under the Parsonage House, through Wooton. skirting Wixland, across Bartridge, over Fisherton Cleve, and running parellel to Mill Wood, he made for the river Taw ; but was headed just on the point of crossing the water, near the CTmberleigh station. Our friend here proved himself to be quite the Leotard of foxes, as re- croEsing the turnpike read, to the astonishment of the farmer who had headed him, he climbed the face of a steep quarry-, some sixty feet high, a feat which might have been deemed beyond the powers of a beaten fox ; here the pack, which had net yet got down as far as the road, met him, and never losing sight ran into him a few fields further on, just above the Rising Sun Inn. Time, lh lomin; the only regret was that our good- natured master, who is always most cour- teous. and anxious to show others sport, should have missed so fine a run. Not the least pleasing part of the day's sport was to see a number of farmers suddenly join in at the finish. It appears a sale of timber was going on at the above- mentioned inn, when, on the well- known cry of hounds, ihe auctioneer and his trees were allowed to go to the winds, and " Forrard, on," was the cry. To see their delighted faces was quite enough proof that North Devon has no lack of sportsmen.— Yours, & c, VIDI. [ We have to thank another correspondent for a report of this day's sport.] A GOOD DAY WITH THE SUFFOLK HOUNDS. ME EDITOR: The meet took place on Tuesday, Feb 24, at Stanton. Rose and Crown. A fox was found in a small grove at Stanton, and, after running her round the cover very sharply, she broke, but finding it a vixen fox, our Master ordered the hounds to be stopped. We then trotted to Langham Thicks, and soon alter the hounds were in com- a fox was halloed away, but, mot getting on good terms with him, he was lost after a short gallop. Better sport in store for us. Norton Wood was then the . order for our next draw; and as it is a certain find, and in a beautiful country for trying the bottoms of horses and the spirits of their riders, all waken up at the sound of so good a chance of finishing a day well. Five minutes quiet by the cover side, and a halloo away as if for East Wood; but when within three fields of that, our fox showed us that he disdained to take shelter, for he bore to the left for Bad well, then to Stowlangtoft, just skirting a small cover, he crossed the river in a direction for Pakenham Few, over which the hounds went, heads up and sterns down, as if they meant blood: but he was not easily to be caught, for he just looked through Pakenham Wood and straight for Thurston, through the grounds, and past the front of the house of that far- famed and good sportsman, J. B. Blake, Esq, as if for the Rougham covers, but here a slight check. A halloo was soon heard at Rougham- place, and our hounds, dropping quickly on his line, crossed that farm like pigeons to Beyton Church, near which Reynard bore to the left for Hessett, and then for Drink- stone Park. Onward was still the order of the day, and after another ten minutes he was killed near the residence of Thomas L. Cwcksedge, Esq, after a run of two hours of as good hunting as could be well seen over arable land. All returned home much pleased with their day's sport, and hope to see many more such runs. These hounds are hunted by 8awiuel Hibbs, a real good iiunt « man, who may be constantly seen close to the tail of his hounds in a run. He has been with the Suffolk Hounds thirty- four seasons. It is to be hoped he may never want friends in this county.— Yours, & c. ONE WHO WAS THERE. [ We have to thank our old friend, " The Wanderer," for an other account, subsequently received, of this capital day's sport. SPORT IN NORTHUMBERLAND. MB EDITOR: Will you allow me a small space in your most valuable columns to describe a day's sport with Mr John Grey's Hounds of Titlington Hall, Northumberland. The meet was at Beanly: and after refreshing ourselves with Mr Andrew Moffat's . good cheer, we trotted on to the well- known cover called Beanly Wood, where, after dodging about with a bad fox for about an hour, we lost him. Not yet content, but with that charac- teristic perseverance which denotes a true sportsman, the Master put the hounds back into the cover to try for another, and ihe numerous field had not long to wait ere the well- known " Tally- ho'' of Mr Charles Parker soon gave intimation that he had broke. Coming straight down for Beanly, and leaving Sigh Hedgeley on the left, he now fairly took to the open ; straight up Hedgely at a rare pace, he crossed the turnpike north of Pouburrt, with Brandon Whitehouse on the right, still keeping on the banks of the Breamir; leaving Branton on the left, he crossed for Brandon ; here, true to his nature, he crept up by the side of the garden hedge, and thence on to the stackyard wall, which he stuck to till he reached the north- west corner ; crossing the road; he now took to the ploughed land, leaving Howdon Hill oa the left, made his course straight through Beavely Farm, heading for the Cheviot Hills, over Dunmoor to the west point, and down the west side into the Linhope Burn, which he crossed; leaving the shepherd's house on the left, he wound his way round Bilta, and down the west side he faced the Blackhope Burn. He aow evidently knew where he was going, and in about another mile he went to ground on Alnham Moor Farm. Time, ( 30 minutes from start to finish ; distance, 11 miles over one of the roughest countries in North Northumberland. As I have never had the pleasure of , seeing the doings of these hounds recorded in your paper, I hope you will have the kindness to publish this short abstract of a day's sport.— Yours, & c, A SON OF VULCAN. turning to the left, he was making the best of his way to Rough- berrow, but, finding the pursuit too warm, he turned short through the covers at Holling's Hill, and back to Matton Church. Here he went to ground, but from whence he was captured and once more given the chance of his life, with plenty of grace, but, being dead beat, gave up the ghost after two rings round the cover. The huntsman Drayton, being disabled from a severe fall, was not at his post, but, from the able handling of the worthy Master of the hounds, a better run has not been known this sea- son, the time being lh 20min, with only a slight check or two. MONDAY the meet was eight miles on the Tewkesbury- road, and I am glad to say the red coats made an excellent display. On our way to Sarnhill, on turning the hounds into a small cover on this side, the fox broke away, and the country he selected proved him to be an old Vetera*, which, with the pace, bade well to leave every one behind unless well mounted, and with a heart in the right place. At a slashing pace he crossed a most severe country, " the Lougdon marshes," reaching Berrow Wood in forty minutes, and although the knowing ones put the steam on, the brooks were too wide for some of them, and, luckily, although several got in, stili they eventually got out again without injury. After ringing him round the wood for a quarter of an hour, he broke for the stanks, and, the scent getting cold, the hounds could not recover him. This was the first day since Drayton's accident that he handled the hounds, when he gave great approbation to a large field, while the Ledbury Hounds never looked more blooming than they do at the present moment.— Yours, & c. AN OLD SPORTSMAN. Ledbury, Feb 28, 1363. ANOTHER GOOD RUN WITH LORD POLTIMORE. MR EDITOR : Wednesday, March 4, the meet was'Maiden Newton Coppice. A fox was quickly found, run for some time, and lost. A second, a dog fox, was soon on foot, but the pace was too fast for him, and he was blown and killed in about thirty minutes. After some time another dog fox was viewed away, and run for an hour and forty minutes very fast indeed, over full 14 miles of country, witn scarcely any checks, and just as his lordship's hounds were killing this fox, three couple of the Blackmoor Yale Hounds, that were in Grange Wood, viewed and ran into him, and the two packs ( with both huntsmen vigorously blowing their horns) soon dis- posed of poor Reynard, thus finishing one of the best of the very many good runs Lord Poltimore's Hounds have had this season. At about six o'clock, at Lord Digby's, at Minitene, the field were most hospitably regaled with bread and cheese, biscuits, sherry, and strong beer, and the horses with gruel. One of the prettiest sights of the day was to see Turner, the huntsman of the Blackmoor Vale, separate his hounds from the other pack, calling them by name, and running them through a garden gate. — Yours, & c. HARKTORWARD. [ Another report of this run has since been received, for which, in the crowded state of our columns, we can only offer our thanks]. CRAWLEY AND HORSHAM HOUNDS. MR EDITOR : These hounds met by special invitation in Lord Leconfield's country, on Thursday, Feb 26. The meet was Pul- borough, which combined tbe advantages of being situated in the best part of Lord Leconfield's country, and also enabled Mr Stanford and his hounds to accomplish part of their long journey by rail. Unfortunately, Capt Heathcote, in ignorance of the in- vitation Mr Stanford had received, had appointed his staghounds to meet at Horsham, and as they rarely come so far north, some few votaries of the chase were drawn away by the novelty held out to them. Toat Wood and the small Stopham Hangers were drawn blank, and the delay had lasted quite long enough to add a piquancy, almost painful, to our excitement, when the hounds were thrown into North Wood. A challenge soen proclaimed a find, and in half a minute they were all at him. He tried to break at the upper end, but being headed, after two turns in covert he dashed away at the lower end, the pack close at his brush. Those few who had remained at the uppea end, where he made his first point, were doomed not to get very near them for some time to come. Crossing the brook, he made for Brinsbury, and bearing to the left, came on to Toile, then sKirting the boundary fence of Fording's covert, crossed the large enclo- sures on Newbridge Farm, to the road betwixt Wisborough Green and Billingshurst, which he crossed, and kept straight on to Cob- bett's Park, where the first check of importance occurred. The time up to this point was 40 minutes, without the hounds being interfered with in any way; our fox, a true gallant one, had run bang over the middle of every field he had come into. The line was soon again hit to the left, and Oakhurst Wood was our next point; our fox took one turn round it and gallantly faced the open again. He reached Lannerd's Covert, where he was viewed dead beat, and shortly afterwards was run into, every hound thirsting for blood. Time, one hour and a quarter. It is not often that a gala day is a success, and the congratulations that greeted Mr Stanford, as his hounds were breaking up their well- earned fox, were fervent indeed. He has to contend with many difficulties, from open enemies and lukewarm friends, but that he may live long to show many such runs as he did on Thursday last is the sincere wish of A_ 8OUTH SAXON. COLCHESTER CAMP BEAGLES. MR EDITOR: The camp beagles met on the 26th instant at Boxted Hall, and had an excellent day's sport, one of the best of the season. Found the first hare on the Brook Land. She went away at a good pace beyond Mr Sallunt's house, where she was headed, and ran back close to where she was found. Then skirted Boxted Wood, bearing to the right, and got into the Colchester road, down which and a cross road the merry little pack rattled her along in capital style for about a mile and a half; she then broke off the road, and was directly after run into; time about an hour. Found a second hare, which, after running a good ring, was run into in the road near Mr Boyce's house. Colonel Guy, commandant at Colchester, and a select field, were out, which included several ladies, who fortunately, by good riding, were enabled to see both runs. At the end of the day all were most hospitably entertained by Mr Boyce, of Boxted Hall, who, in every sense of the word, may be called a thorough English sports- man.— Yours, & c, TOWLER. Colchester, Feb 27. TRAVELLING EXPENSES AND HOTEL ACCOMMO- DATION. MR EDITOR : I must commence my present letter by informing " the Cheshire Man'' that when at Oxford I was not " engaged to advertise Tollit, Charley Symonds, or any other man." When I travel I speak of men and places precisely as I find them, and I did not consider I was in error when from an experience of some years I prefixed the epithet " comfortable" to Charles Symonds's stables. I spoke of things in Oxford as I saw them, and I did not cast any slur upon the university men who hunt at the present time. I simply said that they were not so numerous as when I was an undergraduate. My visit, moreover, was not confined to one day when all the stables were empty ; and, apart from actual obser- vation, my information was derived from the most reliable sources. I gave the " Old Oxford Spirit" credit for its adhesion to athletic exercises, though I did not specifically allude to performances at Henley and Putney, at Lord's or Cowley Marsh. But to come to the object of this letter. Shifting one's bunting quarters, like Lord Lovel, " strange countries for to see," is accompanied with many additional expenses, and has its attendant difficulties and occasional drawbacks. Nothing is more agreeable than a fortnight in fresh fields and with fresh faces, and a prac- tical sportsman can learn something wherever he goes. To the millionaire all things are possible; he simply tells his stud groom to go to Melton or Market Harborough, and he goes straightway; he has a sovereign remedy for all difficulties, but, unfortunately, we are not all Jones Loyds, The first thing is to shift your horses from place to place, which is for the most part now done by railway; but I must advert to the decidedly illogical character of the contract as to the conveyance of horses. The companies all state that they will not be liable for any damage done in putting a horse into their carriages, while he is there, or in taking him out. I cannot say what view a West- minster jury would take, but I doubt if it could be supported in a case where injury had occurred owing to clearly proven negli- gence on the part of the company's servants. Next, as to stabling and the charges for horse keep. During the hunting season, in the best establishments the charge is £ 14s 6d per week where the horses are looked after by one's own servants, and £ 1 8s where they are not; and where the food is good and unlimited this is not un- reasonable, when all things are taken into consideration. Four shillings and four and sixpence are the highest charges I have ever been asked for a horse for a single night at the very best stables; and as I cannot possibly be accused by " the Cheshire Man'' of advertising the following establishment, I will state that the only exception I have ever found was about three weeks ago, while passing through Reading on my way to Oxford, where I was asked 5s for the night, where the stable accommodation and ar- rangements would have made an Anderson or a Quartermaine shudder. From the name of the hotel I apprehend the proprietor has other establishments in London, Liverpool, and Southampton, and I state so much in order that the good quarters of Messrs Flanigan and others of that town may not be suspected. Being at the rate of 35s a week, I thought this was a little too much. I accordingly demurred, and quietly informed the landlord that my cognomen was not Green, and he then deducted sixpence ! With but few exceptions our hotels are still very far from what they ought to be, and nothing deters our countrymen from running about and seeing their native land so much as the knowledge that they will be fleeced wherever they go. In these railroad times in most country places the hotels are precisely the same as they used to be in the old days of the stage coach. Hotel keepers would really do well, as I said in a former letter, to adopt the Continental system, and have a printed tariff of everything. A man shifting his quarters from pack to pack has generally no time to take lodgings, and often when he does he finds himself seven devils worse off' than he would have been at an hotel. But I trust I may see the time when there is a little more variety in the hotel cuisine, when there may be something else offered than the everlasting chop or steak, with the one change of a veal cutlet; yet still for the present we must be content with, that Spartan food, for of all horrible things I know nothing equal to an ordinary hotel's attempt at a made dish. Hunting men would really con- fer a benefit on each other if, when travelling and writing their adventures, they would specify any hotel where they had really been well done for and not taken in.— Yours, & c, CSSOP ( of Hants). Phillips, who, as we stated some time since, leaves the Duke of Buccleuch at the end of the season, is open to an engagement as huntsman. ESSEX AND SUFFOLK HUNT — On Friday week there was a grand meet of this hunt at Shrubland Park. The weather was beautiful, and between 200 and 300 ladies and gentlemen were present, nearly 200 of whom were mounted. A tine dog fox broke cover immediately on the hounds entering Henly- road, and the run was through Mrs Phillips's cover, down the Brocmswalk Oak Wood, towards the earth at Shrubland Gardens, entering the park by the Sandpit, and heading back again by the Broome- walk. The run occupied about twenty minutes, at the lapse of which time the fox was killed in the Oak Cover. The brush and head were presented to Lady Broke- Middleton. The hounds started again in the direction of Baylham Wood, but the fox managed to gain earth, and escaped, at least for the nonce. Sir George Broke- Middletori, owner of the beautiful Shrubland property, rode his fine horse Blazer. THE PRINCE AND THE BANK NOTE.— Mr Editor: The Bank note which H. R. H. the Prince of Wales was pleased to present to me has, by the kindness of some friends, been placed in a beau- tiful frame, with the following inscription:—" Presented to John Press, huntsman to the Cambridgeshire Hounds, 29th Dec, 1861, by H. R. H. the Prince of Wales." On the other side is a striking likeness of the prince. This present it is my determination to be- queath to my children as an heirloom, and I wish, through your truly sporting journal, to thank the gentlemen concerned for their great kindness, and to assure them how much I esteem it.— Yours, & c, JOHN PRESS.— Stratton Kennels. PEDESTRIANISM. THE LEDBURY HOUNDS. MR EDITOR : Herefordshire and the two adjoining counties of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire have for centuries past been distinguished for the sporting spirit of fox hunting, and although the surrounding hills advantageously afford persons on foot, and particularly the Malvern Hills, opportunity of admiring that lovely sport to the utmost advantage, still they are frequently the « ause of saving Reynard's life. Considering, however, the bad- scented season, I am glad to inform you that these hounds have had upon the whole some very excellent sport, having killed to the present time 18j brace ; and not having seen in the columns of your valuable paper this season an account of some of their « apital sport, I take the opportunity of giving you an account © f two runs we had last week. The meet on Friday was at Stanley Hill: trotted on to the Jlshpool Coppice, the property of that well- known old English sportsman, Mr John Freeman, of Lugwardine, when the moment the hounds were turned in a fox was halloed away, and after sunning him at a rattling pace through the Cnnnonfroom Covers to Mr Shay le's, of Upleadon, lie went to ground. We then can- ia- ed on to Beacon Hill, and after drawing the one side ' Wank, immediately upon crossing to the opposite a fine old fox • » as viewed away, and the hounds, as usual, at once settled to Mm, forcing him at a slashing pace through the covers of another • distinguished sportsman and staunch preserver of foxes, the Rev Higgins, of Bosbury House; thence to the Peors" Wood; NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.— In future all advertisements for this department of Bell's Life in London must reach our office on Thursdays, before four o'clock, or they will not be inserted until the following week.

These sports, which have not been held for the last two or three years, took place on Fenner's Ground on Monday, Feb 23, and were, on the whole, decidedly successful, although the ground was somewhat heavy during the latter part of the afternoon, and the running, therefore, not quite so good in regard to time as it would otherwise have been. It will be seen that the throwing the cricket ball was exceedingly good, especially as it was in the face of a considerable breeze. The winner, Mr Whitaker, distinguished himself also in the quarter- mile and 100 yards races, in both of which he showed first- rate running; in the latter race the second place was closely contested by Messrs Bowling and Hudson, the latter gentleman only just succeeding in beating his opponent. The duties of umpire were discharged by Mr Frost of Jesus to the entire satisfaction of all competitors. The following is the list of sports, with the order in which they took place:— Walking two miles : Watney 1, K. Wilson 2. Time, lSniin 20sec. — Throwing the Cricket Ball: J. A. Whitaker 1, M. H. Marsden 2. Distance, 102yds 2ft 2in.— Plat Race, one mile : A. Langdon 1, H. D. Jones 2. Time, 5min 19sec.— Running High Jump: J. Fitz Herbert 1, G. R. Crotch 2. Height, 5ft lin.— Standing Long Jump: G. R. Crotch 1, J. Knowles 2. Distance, 9ft 6| in.— Flat Race, quarter of a mile: J. A. Whitaker 1, Alexander 2. Time, lmin 3sec.— Standing High Jump : Crotch and Boyle tied for first, J. Knowles second. Height, 4ft 2in.— Running Long Jump : Payton 1, J. Boyle 2. Distance, 16ft 10in.— Flat Race, 100 yards : J. A. Whitaker 1, W. H. Hudson 2. Time, lljsec.— Pole Jump : G. R. Crotch 1, A. Smallpeice 2. Height, 8ft tin.— Hurdle Race, 200 yards, 10 flights of hurdles: A. D. Clarke 1, Baines 2. Time, 31sec.— Putting the Weight: Knowles and Baines tied. Distance 27ft 4in.~ Sack Race, 50yds: M. H. Marsden 1, J. Knowles 2.— Flat Race, half- mile, Consolation Stakes, open to all but previous winners: C. Yeld 1, A. Oust 2. Time, 2min 32sec. 15min Usee, four miles in 20tnin 28sec, five miles in 25min 47sec, six miles in 31min 16see, and the first seven miles were run in 36min 38sec. As the pedestrians went dashing by the referee for the beginning of the eighth mile the lead was in favour of Lang, he having, as they came careering down the straight, for the completion of the seventh mile ( 46th lap), closed up the gap between himself and opponent, and in a fine spurt wrested the lead from him, and now offers were made to back him at good odds. Lang, however, did not retain the advantage of the leading position long, for while still running the eighth mile, and in the 50th lap, Deerfoot, as they came bounding along the straight, put on one of his clipping spurts, went to the fore, and left his opponent some two or three yards behind. Eight miles were run in 41min 58sec, nine miles being accomplished in 47min 27sec. It was now apparent that the Indian had the race secure, for he gradually broke more and more away from Lang, and went in a winner by some seven or eight yards, doing the distance in 52min 44sec. Lang, on the termination of the struggle, was much exhausted. The stakes can be received by the winner at our office on Thursday, March 12, at twelve o'clock. ATHLETIC SPORTS AT BURY ST EDMUND'S GRAMMAR SCHOOL. On Friday, Feb 27, a series of athletic sports, for various prizes, took place among the pupils of Bury St Edmund's Grammar School.

Oliver mi cut 26, Atkinson 11, and Wayman mi 10 somersaults.— Sack Race, 20 entries. First heat: Toke 1, Hud- son 2, Wilson ma 3.

The proceedings closed with three hearty cheers for the numerous ladies present. PEDESTRIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK. DEERFOOT ( THE INDIAN) AND W. LANG OF MIDDLESBOROUGH. — On Monday, March 2, these pedestrians met on J. Baum's Ground to decide their 10 miles race, for £ 50, when such was the interest the event produced, that there were more than 2,000 spectators assembled, among whom we noticed many of the leading sporting " notables'' of the day. Deerfoot's recent great match against time, when, on Monday, Feb 23, he accomplished the unprecedented distance of 11^ miles within the hour at Bromp- ton, had had the effect of considerably enhancing the reputation of this extraordinary pedestrian. Lang, in the fine matches he has contended in of late, has gained as a long distance runner a high position among the metropolitan stars, and in the present struggle it was imagined he would be able to gain a triumph over his renowned competitor. The pedestrians, to accomplish the distance, had to make the circuit of the course ( which by the bye was in splendid order) 68 times. The betting was 6 to 4 on the Middlesborough clipper, but we did not hear of much money being speculated, although we were informed that else- where both men had been backed with a good deal of spirit by their respective admirers. The race had been fixed for half- past four o'clock, but it was not until some twenty minutes after that time that the pedestrians came on the ground. The Indian had for his attendant Sam Barker of Billingsgate, Lang being looked after by Jesse Smith. The start, as is usual on this ground for a 10 miles race, had to be made from opp © site the stand, and the competitors, under the direction of W. Price, the M. C., took up their position at the mark. The Indian in point of fettle by no means looked as he did in his match against time on the preceding Monday. The start had to be made by report of pistol, and the required signal having been given by Price, the pedestrians dashed off, the lead from the commencement being taken by the Indian, who went away at a speed that completely astonished the spectators. Lang, nothing loth, put himself to work in magni- ficent " form,'' and on they came, the provincial being some two yards in the rear. In this manner, without the slightest change in position, the pedestrians continued to rattle along throughout the first mile, which was run in 4min 48sec, Deerfoot, as they went by the referee for the finish of the eighth lap ( commence- ment of the second mile), still having the lead, although so well was the Middlesborough clipper following, that they were not more than two yards apart. From the manner in which Lang was running, it was apparent he had no desire as yet to challenge his opponent for the front position, though from the eager style in which he closed up when Deerfoot, in a fine spurt, attempted to increase the gap betweeR them, it was evident he had no idea of letting him for a moment get out of compass. The race on the part of both continued to be contested without there being the least variation in the position of the com- petitors. Two miles were run , in ymin 56sec, three miles in MR BOSWELL v TIME. WEST LONDON GROUNDS, BROMPTON. — GREAT WALKING MATCH AGAINST TIME.— On Wednesday, March 4, MrBoswell, riding- master of the Royal Horse Guards Blue, undertook to walk 50 miles in 12 hours, in these grounds, for a good stake. There was also an extra bet that he did not accomplish the first six miles in one hour. The event appeared to excite an unusual degree of interest among the aristocratic admirers of pedestrian- ism, and during the eventful day there was a very large attend- ance of noblemen and gentlemen in the grounds to witness the arduous undertaking. At seven o'clock a. m., the preliminaries having been most satisfactorily adjusted, the signal was given by the referee for the start, and Mr Boswell commenced his journey at a good pace, and accomplished the first six miles in 59min 25sec— thus winning his first event by 35sec, but not quite so easy as anticipated by his friends, for from the time he started up to the seventh mile there was a heavy fog, which caused Mr B. to blow a good deal, and when five miles had been paced over he had the cramp in the calf of his leg; but in spite of this he continued on with great determination, and com- pleted 25 miles in 5h " min. He now took a shower bath, which Mr Roberts, the proprietor, has in a room in the grounds, and • also partook of some refreshment, after which he continued his task with great pluck and in a most sportsmanlike manner. At the end of the 35th mile he took another bath, but very little refreshment, and again started off, but although he appeared fresh and well hewentrather dicky upon his understandings, through his feet being much blistered. He soon, however, warmed up, and shook the lameness off in a great measure, and eventually walked in a gallant winner in 11 hours Boswell, not much accustomed to a great deal of walking; and 3 minutes 44 seconds, thus winning by 46 minutes 16 seconds, and, with the exception of his feet being a little blistered, he was not much the worse for his long journey, which is a great task for any man without training, and more especially to a gentleman like Mr being 13st 71b in weight, over six feet in height, and upwards of forty years of age, it must be deemed a very great pedestrian feat, indeed; Mr C. Westhall regulated the time and paid him strict attention throughout. Mr E. Smith was referee and time- keeper. A great deal of money changed owners.

BAILEY OF DEPTFORD AND THE WOOLWICH NOVICE.— On Saturday, Feb 28, these pedestrians met on J. Garratt's ground to run 440 yards, for £ 5 a side, there being a good attendance. The odds were 6 to 4 on Bailey, and the preliminaries having been ad- justed, the competitors came to the mark. The start had to be made by mutual consent, and after some few attempts they got oft in good style, the lead being taken by the Novice, who made the running at a fine pace. There was no alteration in the posi- tion of the competitors until about 350 yards of the distance had been completed. Now Bailey put on a fine spurt, challenged his man for the lead, and soon came to the fore. The instant the No- vice had been passed the interest of the race subsided, for such superiority did Bailey manifest in speed, that he rapidly left his man in the rear, and went in an easy winner, the Novice, finding he had no chance, pulling up when some 30 yards from the goal. MYERS AND SYM.— The match to walk seven miles, for £ 50 a side, between Myers of Newmarket and Fred. Sym of the City, took place on Monday, March 2, in the above- mentioned grounds, in the presence of at least sixteen hundred persons. The match appeared to excite a considerable degree of interest, and imme- diately the match was made both men went into active training- Myers under the care of Perry at Kensington, and Sym did his work at Newmarket under the care of W. Spooner— and no two men could have looked in better condition. Myers has run and walked many matehes, but generally got defeated; in fact, he was always termed by many competent judges a " duffer,'' but we are told all his bad performances have been through ; ill health, and it is certain during the last sixteen months he has looked very bad indeed. Fred. Sym, who is well- known upon the Turf, and a great favourite in the City, has performed with success in several matches, but he is not a public pedestrian. At a little before five o'clock the men came to the scratch, and immediately set off at the signal given, Sym going away a " cracker," and soon had a commanding lead, which he maintained for a mile and a quarter, when the strong pace he had gone at began to tell upon him, and Myers dashed by him at a killing pace. From this point the result was never in doubt, for although Myers allowed Sym to catch him when two miles and a half had been completed, and walked with him for a quarter of a mile, just before the third mile was reached Myers again put the steam on to high pressure, and soon left poor Fred many yards in the rear; when three miles and nearly a half had been walked by Myers, he was leading by 120 yards, when Sym, seeing his chance completely out,' wisely gave up the contest and returned to the house, and having sent word to the referee that he did not require Myers to go the whole of the distance, he also returned to the house. The first mile was done in 7min 51sec, the two miles in 16min lOsec, and three miles, by Myers, in 25min 47see. Sym, although de- feated, walked in a very plucky manner, but was over- matched, for Myers, although not a clipper, proved a far better man than many anticipated. The betting opened at evens on Myers, and closed at 7 to 4 on him ; a good deal of money changed owners. Myers can have the stakes at our office on Thursday, March 12, at twelve o'clock. PRINCE OF WALES OLYMPIA AND RUNNING GROUNDS, BOW. GRAND OPENING ON TUESDAY, MARCH 10.— In honour of the bridal of the Prince of Wales, the above extensive grounds will be opened to the public on the wedding day— a day as aus- picious as their title is appropriate.

The whole under the sole managemen of the once- famed champion, James Pudney, who, with the pro'rietor, Mr Charles Wilson, respectfully ask for the good aid of the public on this their " opening day."

ASTON CROSS GROUNDS.— On Monday, March 2, these grounds were well attended to witness the matches set down to come off. The weather was splendid for all out- door amusements. The first match that came off was between SMALLEY and BLAND, who were matched to walk 20 miles, for £ 10 a side, Bland giving Smalley three minutes' start. Smalley is a slight- made, active man; his style of walking is peculiar— to the eye painful— for he appears to labour hard at his work, bringing his feet heavily to the ground, and as if every nerve was strained; yet he walks without any labour to himself, which, as mile after mile was done, was apparent, fer he appeared as cool as a cucumber. He has walked at these grounds in three pre- vious matches; with the veteran Coleman, in the last one, he was obliged to succumb, through want of training, it was said. He looked decidedly in good trim on the present occasion, not an ounce of superfluous flesh upon him, having been carefully looked after by T. Jones. Bland was, some ten years back, often before the public, having walked many matches with some of the crack men of the day, but has been shelved since that time. His friends, knowing that he had always done his best, determined to give him another chance, and hence the present match ( although many of his old backers considered that he had thrown his chance away, taking into consideration his years, by giving the three minutes' start). He is a stronger and much more muscular- looking man than his opponent, and has the advantage in height. He had carefully trained under the vigilant eyes of the veteran Bill Allsopp and Young Malins, and his condition looked all his friends could wish, and he was all confidence. Mr Coates was the appointed referee. The betting was done at evens, which was readily taken by Smalley's friends, as with tho three minutes' start given they booked it as safe. On the signal being given Smalley went away, and in the three minutes given made two laps and three quarters round the grounds ( of which there were 158 laps for the 20 miles) in good style, when the word for Bland to start was given. He went off at a steady pace, walking in his old style, fair toe and heel. The first mile done by Smalley oc- cupied 8£ min, Bland having gained but a few yards on hira ; the second mile in 16^ min, third 26jmin, fourth in 36j, the fifth mile in 46min. Bland had then gained about 120 yards, and at the sixth mile ( 57min) the men were together for a short distance, Smalley again mending his pace, and every now and then spurt- ing forward to the surprise of all. At the tenth mile ( half dis- tance), done in lh 34min losec, Bland was still a lap and a half behind, and Smalley's friends offered 2 and 3 to 1 on him ( no takers). The eleventh mile was done in lh 44| min, the twelfth in lh 55min. Here Bland, who had in the early part of the match given symptoms of sickness, again appeared unwell, yet he gamely kept on. The 13th mile was done in 2h 6min, but in coming round in the first lap of the fourteenth mile he appeared distressed ; he, however, kept on till the fifth lap, when he gave in, doing the 13£ miles in 2h 16min 5sec. Smalley was 2h 14min doing 13j miles. Smalley walked two more laps in a spirited manner, leaving off as fresh to appearance as at the commence- ment. The stakeholder handed over the money to Smalley, but it is only an act of justice to state that no match ( walking) at these grounds for some time past has given greater satisfaction to all parties. BRAZNELL AND JOHNSON.— These district men next came to run their five score yards, for £ 5 a side. Their condition was first rate. Braznell trained under T. Thomas of Tividale, and Johnson under B. Sheldon of Dudley Port. Our correspondent was referee. The betting was 6 to 4 on Braznell ( 7 to 4 offered, no takers). The time allowed ( 15 minutes) had just expired when the men got away, and a well- contested race took place, every inch of ground being well contested. At half distance Johnson was slightly leading, but Braznell dashed alongside of his man, and they ran together close home, Braznell, however, taking the tape first, and the referee declaring him the winner, as usual. There was a loud cry of " A dead heat," and Johnson's party claiming a win, but in spite of the bullying aud rough lan- guage used towards him the referee abided by his decision, and bets were paid over on the ground. ROGERS OF DAISY BANK AND E. JONES OF WILLENHALL.— These men toed the mark to run six score yards, for £ 5 a side. Both men appeared in first- rate trim. Rogers had trained under his brother Sam and Causer of Bilston, and Jones under Burns of Darlaston. Mr J. Holden of Walsall acted as referee. The bet- ting commenced at evens, at which a good deal of money was in- vested. So safe did Jones's friends consider the match that they laid 6 to 4 just previous to the start. After some time the men got away, Rogers with the best of the start, leaving his man step by step in the rear, and running in a winner by two yards, WEBB OF KATE'S HILL AND YOUNG HODSON OF BIRMING- HAM.— The match between these men was fully expected to have been closely contested, the distance being six score yards, Hodson giving Webb a yard start, for £ 5 a side; our correspondent re- feree. Webb has run on several previous occasions at these grounds with varied success. Hodson the same, and has always been looked upon as a quick lad, but his style of running in the pre- sent match was anything but creditable, for, to all appearance, he made no effort to win, Webb running in first easily. Young Lowe of London was next at the post to walk one mile round the grounds in eight minutes and a half, for a bet of £ 5 a side. The lad went away in beautiful style, and continued to walk so the whole distance, doing the half mile in 4min 5sec, the three- quarters in 6min 25sec, and finishing the mile in 8min 45sec, losing the match by losec. ASTON CROSS GROUNDS.— The following matches are set down to come off on Monday, March 9:— COLEMAN ( THE VETIRAN) AND J. HOLDEN.— To walk five miles, for £ 7 10s a side ; to start at half- past one punctually. DE GRASS AND RANDLE.— TO run one mile, for £ 5 a side, Mr Tailby, the stakeholder, acting as referee.

THE GREAT RACE FOR THE CHAMPION CUP OF ONE MILE AND A QUARTER.— On Saturday, Feb 28, Sheffield was thronged with visitors from most of the principal towns in England, amongst whom we recognised a great many well- known Turf- goers, supporters of the Ring, < tc, to witness the great contest for the above cup and £ 25 each, between S. Albison ( the then holder of the cup), E. Mills of London, J. Sanderson of Whitworth ( near Rochdale), and J. White of Gateshead, the race taking place on the Hyde Park Ground. So great was the excitement in the neighbourhood of Manchester upon this race, it was deemed ne- cessary to charter a " special" for the occasion, and about 400 of the principal supporters and backers of foot racing in that quar- ter were conveyed to the scene of action. Speculation was, how- ever, dull, Sanderson only being inquired after, offers to take 2 to 1 being made, but there were no layers, the cause of this, no doubt, being his easy victory over Mills on the previous Saturday. Most of our readers will, no doubt, remember that this magnifi- cent prize, which cost over £ 50, was first given to be run for on the above ground by Mrs Hannah Heathcote, who was at that time the proprietress, and Mr James Darley, the well- known handicapper, who is mine host of the Green Dragon, Fargate, Sheffield. The cup, which is 20 inches in height, was manufac- tured at the well- known firm of Messrs Martin and Hall, Shrews- bury Works, near Hyde Park, and for workmanship and design is far superior to anything of the kind ever yet given to be run for. It is very richly embossed and chased. One side represents six runners in actual contest; St John's Church, in the neigh- bourhood, is also most beautifully brought out in the foreground, as are also a number of spectators witnessing the contest. The cup was first given to be run for on the 20th Jan, 1862, the entrance being £ 1 each. The following additional prizes were also added :—£ 10 for the winner of the cup, £ 3 the second man, and £ 1 for the third. Each of the com- petitors staked £ 25 each, the winner to take the cup and the £ 100 ; the winner, of course, to be open to run any challenger for the cup and £ 25 a side in six weeks after being challenged. There were at least 2,000 spectators on the ground, all being anxious to witness the contest for supremacy. The race was fixed to take place at five o'clock, and a few minutes past that time the four competitors, attended by their respective attendants, entered the enclosure amidst the most intense excitement. The betting was now 6 to 4 agst Sanderson, 2 to 1 agst Mills, 3 to 1 and 4 to 1 agst White and Albison. To complete the distance the competitors had to make four evolutions of the course and 184 yards. The London division having put some money on Mills, he was at once made the favourite, 6 to 4 and 7 to 4 being offered against the others.— The Race: A good start was effected to the crack of a pistol from Mr J. Boothroyd, Albison for a short distance taking the lead. White, however, very shortly put on the steam, shot in front, and was quickly a dozen yards in front, Albison being second, Sanderson third, and Mills last. These positions were maintained for the first lap, when Sanderson ran in the second rank, and by dint of great exertion gradually got closer to the leading man. White, and when little better than twice round had been paced over, Sanderson got in front; Mills shortly afterwards got the second place. The pace was still very fast, and when one mile had been traversed, the race was between Sanderson and Mills. On the low side of the course, it being the last time round, only a few yards divided Sanderson and Mills. Sanderson now brought all his energies into play up the hill the last time, and being the strongest man, gradually left little Mills in the rear, running in the winner, Mills giving up some 40 yards from the finish, White being about the same distance behind Mills. Albison " cut it" about. 300 yards from the goal. The winner ran the distance in 5min 36Jsee, which we have no doubt he could have accomplished a second or two sooner had he been run up to the finish. On Wednesday night, March 4, Mr MeUw of Oldham staked £ 5 with M J. Boothroyd, at Hyde Park, for P. Stapleton of Mosley to rua Sanderson for the cup, and £ 25 a side, on Monday, April 20.

SATURDAY, FEB 28.— NORRIS AND BOLTON.— This afternoon J. Norris and J. Bolton, who respectively date from Halshaw Moor, met here to run 120 yards, for £ 10 a side, Mr A. Attenbury, the proprietor of the grounds, filling the office of referee. Some spirited speculation took place among the friends of the men, though in small sums, odds of 5 and 6 to 4 being laid on Bolton at start. On leaving the mark, Norris snatched about a couple of yards advantage, and won, without having been headed, by three- quarters of a yard, the favourite, with all his well- meant efforts, not being able to make up leeway. MONDAY.— THE RACE FOR THE CHAMPION CUP.— We merely record the fact, without attempting to assign the cause, that the attendance at these grounds this afternoon was mise- rable in the extreme, only about 120 persons being present— a less number, we opine, than almost ever previously witnessed a champion race. Speculation was a dead letter, scarcely a solitary wager being made, and though the contest itself proved an in- teresting one, the proceedings throughout bore a " flat, stale, and unprofitable" appearance. We much regret this, because the qua- lifications of the men engaged were, at least, above mediocrity, and to them especially— each of whom is a stranger by birth to the locality— this state of things must have been very dishearten- ing, and probably not the less so to the original and spirited donor of the cup. The pedestrians who were matched to com- pete were G. Beddow ( formerly of London) and J. Nevin of Stockton- on- Tees, they having signed articles to run for the 400 yards champion trophy, and £ 25 a side. When the prize was first given by Mr Attenbury, it was won by A. Grindrod of Oldham; it subsequently fell into the possession of R. Medley of Colne. Nevin next became its holder, and then Beddow deprived him of itscustody. It was with a desire, therefore, to recover his once- cherished laurel, and again to become the champion at the dis- tance of 400 yards, that Nevin threw dewn the glove to Beddow. Mr A. Attenbury was stakeholder, and Mr G. Hardy, of the Rising Sun, Swan- street, Manchester, referee. After a little delay a good start was effected, Beddow immediately beginning to cut out the work at a smart pace, with Nevin in close attendance. In this order they- rounded the bend, and going along the straight they were well together, Beddow being still in front. On nearing the tape, Nevin made a good and final effort, but he failed to get up, and Beddow again cleverly asserted his right to the cham- pionship by defeating Nevin, after a capital race, by half a yard. Time, 47sec. The winner appeared more than usually distressed at the finish, whilst Nevin attributed his defeat to being unwell, he stating also that his performance had exceeded his own anticipations. MOLE AND HANCOCK.— G. Mole of Walsall and J. Hancock of Salford have now staked £ 20 each in the hands of Mr A. Atten- bury for their race of 100 yards, for £ 25 a side, which is to be decided at these grounds on March 9. Mr Attenbury has also been appointed referee. BEDDOW AND WHITTLE.— NO RACE.— The match made be- tween G. Beddow and E. Whittle to run 200 yards, for £ 25 a side, here, on March 21, is off', Whittle having forfeited £ 1, staked in the hands of Mr B. Piatt, of the White Lion, Manchester. WHITTLE AND Cox.— No Go.— The anticipated race of 140 yards, for £ 25 a side, between Whittle of Chorley and Cox of Co- ventry, fixed for March 7, was not decided, Mr B. Piatt, of the White Lion, Manchester, having returned to each man the £ 10 he held, in accordance with their agreement to draw. HANCOCK AND BEDDOW.— Mr G. Hardy of the Rising Sun, Swan- street, Manchester, is now in possession of the full amount of the stakes (£ 25 a side), for the race of 180 yards for that sum, between J. Hancock of Salford, and G. Beddow of London, which is arranged to come off at these grounds on Saturday, March 14, Mr Hardy has also been appointed referee, and the pedestrians are to be on the mark at four o'clock. MALKIN AND BUCKLEY.— NO RACE.— The engagement made between J. Malkin of Wetmore, and J. Buckley of Tonge- lane, near Middleton, to run 110 yards for £ 25 a side, here, on March 21, is void, Malkin having forfeited the £ 5 staked in the hands of Mr G. Hardy of the Rising Sun, Manchester. Entries for the All England 100 Yards Handicap, on Saturday and Monday, March 21 and 23,; fiirst prize £ 20, second £ 2, third £ 1.— G. Mode 8 yards start, J. Hancock 8, G. Darley 10, J.

Acceptances 2s 6d each, to be made by Tuesday, March 10, THE CHAMPION WRESTLING CUP.— Mr A. Attenbury is now in possession of the full amount of the stakes (£ 50 a side) for the exciting match between J. Newton ( alias Teapot) of Staleybridge and J. Howarth ( alias the Bacup Lad) of Bury, to wrestle the best of three back falls, Lancashire fashion, for the above sum, as well as for the Champion Cup, at present in the possession of Newton. Neither man is to exceed 7 score 21b weight, the strict rules appli- cable to wrestling are to be adhered to, and the stakeholder is to appoint a referee. The match is fixed for March 10, the athletes to weigh at two, and to be in the ring ready for action at three o'clock. In consequence of the acknowledged abilities of the men, as well as from the fact that the contest is arranged to come off on the marriage day of the Prince of Wales, a very large as- semblage of the admirers of the sport is anticipated. COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, MANCHESTER. SATURDAY, FEB 28.— WBESTLING MATCH.— Though there is little doubt but that the great pedestrian contest for the One Mile and a Quarter Championship at Hyde Park, Sheffield, this afternoon, induced many parties to visit the " hardware town'' who would otherwise have been present at these grounds, still the attendance was good, upwards of 500 persons having assembled. The event to be decided was a wrestling match, for £ 25 a side, between J. Meadowcroft of the village of Radcliffe, near Man- chester, and J. Bentley of Oldham, the conditions being that they should wrestle two out of three back falls, Lancashire fashion, Meadowcroft not to exceed 6 score 41b, nor Bentley 6 score 61b weight. Upwards of two years ago Meadowcroft became the champion at that weight, by winning the hand- some belt given by Mr Hayes, the proprietor of these grounds: he was, however, afterwards defeated for the yrize by T. Haigh ( alias Tumbo) of Ashton, and though itg^ lbse- quently passed into other hands, it has again simW- jeen won, and is now held by, Meadowcroft. The chanrpioh's trophy was not involved in the present struggle, the match being, as we above stated, for £ 25 a side only, the possessor of the belt on this occasion conceding 21b in weight to his opponent. From Meadowcroft's previous brilliant achievements in the ath- letic arena, it was by no means surprising that, though coping against a man to- day who had the advantage in some respects, he ( Meadowcroft) should be most fancied, 6 to 4 being laid on him at start. Bentley, too, is no novice at this game, his career in the ring having been tolerably successful. Mr Hayes, the pro- prietor of the grounds, filled the offices of stakeholder and referee. It is unnecessary to enter into any lengthened; detail of the various points gained by the respective men during the progress of this well- contested match, as it will be sufficient to state that, whilst Bentley occasionally exhibited considerable judgment, combined with tact, the event also showed that Meadowcroft still retains that skill and agility for which he has long been noted, and which has, more than once, served to place him in the honourable posi- tion of champion of Lancashire at 6 score 61b weight. The time occupied to- day was as follows:— Bentley gained the first throw in SIgmiD, the sewnd was won t> y Mea4owcjoft in 52| min, and the 18 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, MARCH 8, 1863. final round, which also- resulted in Meadowcroft's favour, only lasted llmin. The champion thus scored another victory, and the decisions of the referee received general approval. MONDAY.— RABBIT COUBSING.— A fair attendance of visitors assembled here this afternoon to witness another of the series of sweepstakes at rabbits, the sport being again good. Eighteen animals had been entered to compete for the prizes, the principal of which was won by Proudman's Nip, B. Shaw's Poll running up. Mr J. Taylor acted as referee. PEDESTRIANISM.— NEW AND IMPORTANT MATCH.— Those « ' crack" pedestrians, J. Sanderson ( alias Treacle) of Whitworth, near Rochdale, and P.

The first deposit of £ 5 each has been paid, and £ 10 a side more is to be staked on March 9. BOOTH AND BUCKLEY.— Another deposit, making £ 2 10s each now down, has been handed to Mr G.

The contest is to take place at these grounds on Saturday, March 28, Mr Hardy to be re- feree, and the next deposit of £ 5 each will become due on March 9. CLOUGH AND FAIBBANK.— J. Fairbank of Salford and P. Clough of Gorton Brook, near Manchester, are matched to walk one mile,; fair heel and toe, for £ 25 a side, at these grounds, on Mon- day, March 2- 3, Pairbank to have half a minute start. Mr Hayes has been appointed final stakeholder and referee, and the first deposit of £ 1 each has been paid. BHOFIELD AND WHITEHEAD.— NO RACE.— The match between W. Shofield of Prestwich and R. Whitehead of Crumpsall to run half a mile, for £ 25 a side, here, on April 25, is off, Whitehead having forfeited. WBESTLING.— On account of the match between J. Chadwick of Burnley and T. Isherwood of Quereton, to wrestle two out of three back falls, Lancashire fashion, for £ 25 a side, here, on March 21, at catch weights, Mr Holden has now received £ 15 each. £ 5 a side more was to have been put down on March 7. DUKES AND HIM..— J. Dukes of Rawtenstall and S. Hill of Whitworth have signed articles to wrestle the best of three back falls, Lancashire fashion, for £ 10 a side, at these grounds, on March 30, Mr Hayes to be stakeholder and referee. £ 1 each is now down, to be increased to £ 5 a side on March 16.

The first deposit of £ 1 each has been paid, Mr Hayes having been appointed referee and final stakeholder. CITY~ GS0UNDS, MANCHESTER. SATURDAY, FEB 28.— NUTTALL AND MEDLEY.— We have so frequently had occasion to describe the superior performances of J. Nuttall of Manchester and R. Medley of Burnley, that any attempt to recapitulate them here would merely be a work of supererogation. A short time ago they signed articles to run 440 yards, for £ 25 a side. Medley receiving £ 3 to run at the above grounds, and the event came off to- day. There was a goodly at- tendance of spectators present, but Nuttall's friends made him so " hot" a favourite, that many declined to invest on Medley, even if they had been previously inclined to do so, as almost any odds were offered on Nuttall. Mr Holden tilled the office of referee. The betting proved a true index to the result, as, on a start taking place, Nuttall at once came on in front, and the race, which was never for an instant in doubt, was won with the greatest imagin- able ease by Nuttall by nearly a dozen yards. MONDAY.— HOLEOYD AND SPENC'EB.— P. Holroyd of Mir- field and J. Spencer of Huddersfield ( both in the county of York) met here this afternoon to run 440 yards, for £ 25 a side, and, as the weather was fine, about 400 persons were present. For a long time past Holroyd has been a favourite in Manchester, his straightforward conduct on the pedestrian course for a somewhat lengthened period having gained him many friends— and, though he still pursues his adopted profession with unabated ardour, age will tell. His antagonist to day possesses many superior qualifi- cations— often exhibited on other grounds— one of his latest pre- vious engagements being against P. Stapleton of Mossley, upon the Copenhagen course; but on that occasion Spencer won, with- out being forced to his speed. For the contest of this afternoon Mr Holden acted as referee, and the betting, which opened at 5 and 6 to 4 on Holroyd, closed at evens. The prescribed quarter of an hour having been frittered away in false attempts to start, a pistol was fired, when Holroyd began to show the way, but it was soon evident Spencer was running within himself. The pedes- trians having rounded the turn, Spencer came up, gave Holro s d the go- by, and won easily by four yards. HILTON AND KNIGHT.— For the race of 120 yards between these men, in which Knight stakes £ 50 to £ 40, Mr Holden has received £ 25 and £ 20 respectively. The contest is to take place here on April 6. PIGEON SHOOTING.— H. Caunce of Southport and J. Holland of Oldham have now staked £ 10 each in the hands of Mr Holden for their match to shoot at 50 pigeons each, for £ 50 a side, here, on March 25. £ 15 each additional is to be deposited on March 16. RABBIT COURSING.— W. Bailey has matched his dog Spring against J. Wild's Spark, at rabbits, 11 out of 21, 60 yards law, for £ 10 a side, Spring to have three given. The event, for which Mr Holden has received £ 1 each, is to come off here on March 28. CANINE.— Mr Holden held £ 8 each for the race of 200 yards, for £ 10 a side, between R. Berry's Mew and J. Heaton's Jip, which was fixed for March 7 at these grounds. The dogs were to start at half- past three o'clock. VICTORIA RACE GROUNDS, LEEDS. On Saturday, Feb 28, there were about 500 persons present here to witness the following matches. The first that came to the scratch was M. TEMPLE AND W. ROSINGDALE to run 150yards for £ 5 a side, Temple receiving two yards start. The betting was 6 to 4 on Eosingdale. They went by the first report of a pistol, and got a very good start, but Rosingdale could not get any closer to his opponent, and Temple went in an easy winner by two yards. T. PBOCTOB AND J. SPENCE.— These men next ran 120 yards for £ 10 a side. After spending about ten minutes in false starts, they got well off, when Proctor got in front, was never headed, and went in a winner by two yards. Betting : 6 to 4 on the win- ner, at which price a good sum of money changed hands. HAYDEN AND FERMOYLE.— B.| Hayden and M. Fermoyle run their 10 milejrace for £ 25 a side, on Monday, March 9, at the above ground. On Tuesday, March 10, at nine o'clock, a. m., two Novice Handicaps will take place here.

GBEAT TEN MILES RACE BETWEEN THE INDIAN AND YOUNG ENGLAND — DEEBFOOT AND EDWABD MILLS.— At Hackney Wick, on Monday, March 9, the great stake of £ 100 will be con- tended for in a race of 10 miles, between the world celebrated Seneca Indian, Deerfoot, and the equally renowned Edward Mills, the latter justly considered the very first of English pedes- trians of the present day. As the time approaches for the depar- ture from our shores of this wonderful Indian, and as each suc- ceeding match only still further confirms the truth of his asto- nishing powers, dispels all doubts, and overwhelms all carpings and cavillings as to his claim to be champion even among cham- pious, the interest to witness his performance is daily increased. The matches of late in which he has been engaged are too recent to need recapitulation. The speedy Middlesborough man had to succumb on the last occasion, and although the match on Monday next was made before the royal marriage was settled upon, the intervening day between the " royal progress" and the " bridal" of the Prince of Wales with the lovely maiden from the land of the Norseman will allow of the thousands of visitors to town— foreigners, country cousins, & c— to see the famed son of the forest before he retires to his prairie home, where his kith and kin and chiefs of the tribes will hear how he contended against the haughty palefaces across the big lake, and made even the trained " Yengheese" to acknowledge his superiority. Worthy, however, on Monday next, is the English champion for even the famed Indian to meet; as " good wine needs no bush," so no boastings are required in regard to Teddy Mills to foreshadow the nature of the struggle to be expected. That he will strive to uphold the name he has so gallantly won there is no doubt, and when it is stated that he is in fine fettle, whichever may be conquered— Indian or Englishman— the victor will be glad when the journey is accomplished. Increased preparations have been made by Mr Bawn for the many extra thousands who will assemble, as the vast amphitheatre which surrounds the famed curriculum is the first in London. The Victoria Park station abuts » n the grounds, and extra and special trains for the occasion will run every ten minutes. The admission will be one shilling, reserved places extra. A large body of police is engaged, and the name of the manager, Mr William Price, is synonymous with order and regularity.

Jem was in attendance, but the Unknown still keeps dark, so that the public have to cool their patience until March 27, when the hero will have to solve the mystery. We believe we are not wrong in assuring our readers that the aspirant is a real bond fide claimant of the title, and that he hails from the other side of the Atlantic. His name has teen whispered to us, but he does not wish it made public; yet why, we know not. We are betraying no confidence, however, in saying he is neither Heenan, nor Mor- rissey, nor Coburn. The place for the next deposit is to be named by the backers of the Unknown. R. HEFFERAN AND J. GODDABD.— These men meton Wednesday, March 4, on the home circuit, and fought at 7st 41b, for £ 10 a side. On the ring being got in order the men lost no time in getting ready for the tourney. From the moment they got together, Hefleran, who, as a tactician, was much superior to his antago- nist, took a most decided lead, making effective use of both maw- leys, while there was so little steam in Goddard's returns, that he did not appear to make the least impression on his opponent. There were twenty- six game though somewhat tedious rounds fought in one hour and twenty- two minutes, when, much to the chagrin of Hefferan's backers, as he had all but won, the rural constabulary put in their unwelcome appearance, and hostilities had to be at once stopped. As no new ground could be selected the referee made arrangements for the men to meet again on the following day, when Goddard was in no condition to again renew the battle had he gone to the spot named. Hefferan therefore had the stakes awarded to him, out of which he gave Goddard £ 2 as a golden ointment for his wounds. The money is to be given to Hefferan, at Mr Milsom's, Orchard- street, on Wednesday, March 11. Goddard, who had his jaw broken, is staying at The Cottage of Content, Kensal Green, and would be glad to see his friends. GBEENAND RILEY.— Our Sheffield reporter writes as follows on this subject:— Mr EDITOR : I was not a little surprised on looking over the columns of Hell's Life on Saturday last, when I saw that Riley stated that he had staked his money with your reporter last week, of course,' he means the week before last, for his fight with Green. This I must emphatically deny, and to put you, Mr Editor, and the public right, and to vindicate my own cha- racter, I beg most respectfully to inform you that Riley did not stake with me, neither did any of his backers show up until a week after the time they should either have staked £ 2 10s with you or myself. I could say more on this subject, but I think you will see that from the fact of the articles being " burnt" Riley's party wished to get out of the match. Green requests that you will send him the £ 7 10s that you hold to the address sent to you last from your reporter. HAWKES AND HEFFERAN.— Mr Millsom writes to us as fol- lows:— Sir: Having allowed Travers time to give the explanation that he promised a fortnight back, and having attended at your office, as you are aware, for several weeks past, to meet Travers, to abide by your decision as to whether I was entitled to the money deposited at his house in the match between Hefferan and Hawkes, which money he covered, and publicly announced in his parlour as made good, but which money he will not give up, nor will he meet me at your office, I therefore leave it to the public to judge what reliance can be placed on him.

CRICKET. GEORGE PARR AND THE SURREY CLUB. MR EDITOR : A letter having appeared in your last impression signed " George Parr," I shall esteem it a favour if you will permit me to make a few remarks respecting it. I am far from desirous of entering into any controversy with the professional players of England, but as his statements are such that if left uncontradicted might possibly mislead the public, I am compelled to ask you to allow me space for a few lines. The intention of his letter is indirectly to lead your readers to suppose that I made certain pro- positions to him to assist me in carrying out some arrangements of mine in opposition to those of the Marylebone Club, and be- cause he would not consent to act in concert with me in doing this, he therefore, as he terms it, " incurred my displeasure. The reference that he makes is to the match Surrey v England, which had been provisionally fixed by me for the third week in August, and for which I had engaged the services of some of the professional players, Parr amongst the number. When the pro- gramme of the M. C. C. was published, I found that they had fixed their matches at Canterbury for the same week; and acting upon the impression that they had appropriated our days, I wrote to Parr and several other professional players, informing them of the fact, and reminding them of their engagement to the S. C. C. At the next committee meeting of the club, I was made aware of the fact that, instead of the M. C. C. having appropriated our days, we had, on the contrary, taken theirs, as the third week in Augnst had been always set apart for the matches at Canterbury; and finding; such to be the case, I immediately set to work to rectify the error, and of this Parr is perfectly aware, although he has not the candour to admit it. I am at a loss to understand how Parr can so far foiy? et himself as to make the assertion that because he could not agree with the senti- ments expressed in my letter of last February, with regard to the dilatorinesi of the M. C. C. in not fixing their matches until the endof January, thereforehe has incurred my displeasure. I have his letters written in 1859, 60, and 61, requesting me to be kind enough to furnish him with; the list of. Surrey matches, as he only required mine, and could not wait for the M. C. C. list, which was not pub- lished until February, he not'wishing to interfere with the S. C. C. matches. As Parr has seen fit to make the above the reason for his non- attendance at the Oval last season, I must, if you please ask your indulgence still further, in order that I may state clearly the true reason why he did not come. When Mr Mallam first arrived in this country from Australia, commissioned by Messrs Spiers and Pond to procure an eleven to go out there, he was re- commended to consult with me, as hon secretary of the Surrey Club, as to who would be the proper professional player to apply to, in order to take the captaincy of it; and becausej I could not advise him to make Parr the captain, for goed reasons, | he chose to make a personal attack on Mr Mal- lam, myself, and the Surrey Club at a dinner given at Manchester by that gentleman to the professional players. On the following morning Mr Mallam, alluding to Parr's conduct, thanked me for the advice I had given to him re- specting the captaincy, adding that such proceedings as his would mar the successful carrying out of the project Messrs Spiers and Pond had in view, as the position of the Eleven in Australia de- pended not only on their ability as cricketers, but their courteous bearing at the festive board. The warm support given at the time to Mr Mallam, and the displeasure evinced at Parr's conduct during the dinner by all present, is, in truth, the reason thathehas discon- tinued his visits to the Oval; more than this, I have evidence of both gentlemen and players disinterested in the matter who heard Parr say, on different occasions during last season, that he was de- termined to frustrate the programme of Surrey for 1863, for what they did in the Australian matter. I presume that he is endea- vouring to carrying out his threat, as he has fixed his matches all through the season an the days that the Surrey Club have chosen for theirs. Time, however, will show if they will in any way affect them, and I much question if this arrangement on his part will find favour with the Gentlemen of England, who are the real sup- porters of county cricket.— Yours, & c, WM. BURRUP, Hon Bee. Surrey Ground, March 4, 1863. HULL KINGSTON CLUB.— The annual meeting of this club was held at the Cross Keys Hotel, Hull, on Monday, March 2; J. Leak, vice- president, in the chair. The field committee reported that since last autumn the field on the Aislaby- road had been re- laid with turf, and otherwise put in first- class playing condition. A number of new members joined, and the whole of the proceed- ings passed off in a highly satisfactory manner. The following gentlemen were elected to the various offices for the ensuing sea- son :— President, J. A. Bykes; vice- president, T. Leak; hon sees, J. Middleton and W. A. Bissons; hon treasurer, J.

Norris begs to inform committees of cricket clubs that, having made extensive alterations and improvements at the above ground, he has room for two or three large clubs. taining a goal after an hour's severe work; and though Yates did his best, ably assisted by Preston, Giles, and A. Dowdeswell to retrieve their loss, time was up before they were enabled to do so. The manner in which Whittaker stopped several very good attempts for games is worthy of especial mention. Cleasby, Harding, Berens, arid Malkin, as usual, did great service to their side. The sides were:— The Crusaders: E. O. Berens, S. D. Cleasby, S. Freeman, J, Harding, g, A. Hunt, H. Malkin, Mon- roe, A, Severe, IT. gtewavd, k. Thome, B. Thorns, and G, Wharton.— Westminsters: C. J. H. Chepmell, J. M. Yates, W. B. Besly, B. Preston, F. Giles, F. Whittaker. G. H. Pember, M. Q„ Sim, A. Dowdeswell, G. Dowdeswell, J. Taylor, and J. Dasent. FOOTBALL. MARLBOROUGH COLLEGE. OLD RUGBEIANS AND PRESENT MARLBUBIANS.— On Tuesday, Feb 24, a small band of Oxonians, consisting of six old Rug- beians and five old Marlburians, went down to play the college. Fortunately there were allies on the spot, and the eleven, finding they could rely on the aid of eight or nine of the masters, most of them old Rugbeians, made up their minds to encounter some six and thirty of the college. Two to one is long odds, but when each of the units plays as well as most of the allied body did. it becomes a pretty fair match. And so it was found to be. True that the Marlburians kicked a goal ( a drop from Mr Oakley) in about five minutes, and then completely penned the strangers for about half an hour, but their second wind came, and the weaker body began to make a good flght for it, and at times got well up to the other goal ; so, when time was called, after a capital match of two hours, though the college had had much the best of it, the goal at the beginning was the only decided success. Both sides played admirably. Marlborough had to regret the loss of their able leader Mr Butterworth, early in the game, but they had still left them Messrs Hillyard, Grant, Mansfield, and others whose names have escaped us, and these were well sup- ported by the rest of the players. On the other side we decline to say who did not play well. That there were many whe did play welljmay be imagined from the following list:— From Oxford ( Old Marlburians), Messrs Crawley, Hume, Kitson, Oldham, Roberts; ( Old Rugbeians), Messrs Boyd, Davis, Kynnersley, Mat- thews, Maltby, F. H. Walker. From Marlborough, Messrs Sling- ton, Bell, Booth, Bright, Bull, Fisher, Macdonald, Mansell, Thompson. The Oxonians were most hospitably welcomed, and returned home well pleased with their day's work. The Sixth Form v School was commenced about the middle of February, but did not result in such an exciting match as usual, which was chiefly owing to the weakness of the Sixth in forward play. On the first day Grant succeeded in kicking two goals for the School, one a magnificent drop from a distance of nearly 50 yards from the goal; the other a place. In spite of the great spirit with which the Sixth commenced the game on the second day, before 20 minutes had elapsed Mansfield obtained a third goal for the School by a good drop. The play of the School throughout was quite up to the mark, a compliment we can hardly pay to their opponents. For the former, Head ( 2), Hunter, Mansfield, Hillyard, Harison, H. G. Allington, Syke, and others played well forward; Grant, Fellowes, and Williams distinguished themselves in back play, and in the latter department C, M. Bull, Evans, Boyle, and Harboard for the Sixth. N. N. CLUB v ELIZABETHANS. A match was played on Wednesday, Feb 25, at Oaklands Hall, the residence of Donald Nicoll, Esq, between 12 Elizabethans and 12 of the N. N. Club. After some good play on both sides a rush of the N. N.' s, headed by Piggott, Phillips, and Kneller was suc- cessful, the goal being won by a fine drop kick from Mr Piggott. Notwithstanding the exertions of Mr G. H, Pember, the captain of the Elizabethans, a second goal was won for the N. N.' s by Mr Arthur Pember, their captain. No other goal was scored before time was called. The play of Mr Giles, on the part of the Elizar bethans, was universally admired. Mr Thoms's weight was used to some advantage. The following are the names :— N. N.' s: W. A. Annesley, Bedwell, W. F. Baker, E. Kneller, E. Lawson, F. Maynard, E. C. Morley, D. Nicoll, Arthur Pember, F. Phillips, D. Piggott, W. Wawn.— Elizabethans: W. B. Besley, B. N. Thoms, G. H. Pember, W. W. C. Lane, M. O.

MURDER IN OXFORDSHIRE.— At Oxford Assizes, on Wednesday and Thursday, Noah Austin, a butcher, was tried for the murder of Mr Allen, a miller at Heyford, and the father of a young woman to whom Austin was paying his addresses. It seems they had not been on very friendly terms, but on the day of the murder the prisoner asked Mr Allen to take him home in his cart from Bicester market, and this he did. About six in the evening the prisoner ran to Mr Austin's house, and told ene of his labourer ® to go and meet his master, who was waiting for him. The moi went in the direction, and there found his master's dead body,, with two gun- shot wounds through his head, his pockets turned out, and his cart and horse tied to a tree. The accused having been last seen in his company was at once arrested, and after being cautioned, made a statement to the effect that he was re- turning home with the murdered man in his conveyance, and when near Heyford they met two men. Some distance further on the road they met two other men, who called out to Mr Allen, " We want to pay your account," and the deceased requested him to go down to the mill, and tell the miller to come up. The old man got out of the cart with him, and remained in company with, the men while he crossed the fields into the village to deceased's house, and requested the miller to go to his master up the road, as he wanted him about some account or other.— The evidence to bring the matter home to the prisoner was, that a revolver was found near the spot which he had bought, two barrels of which had been discharged, while three were loaded, and in each of these was found a portion of a newspaper, corresponding portions of which p8per were also found locked in a box belonging to the prisoner, in which also was found a purse which had been seen in.

The pro- secution was instigated by the Government, the prisoner having committed a most violent and outrageous attack upon one of the officers of the convict establishment whilst in the execution cf his duty.

The coursing season in tie South, so auspiciously inaugurated at Ashdown Park in October last, has been brilliantly wound up in the same delightful locality. Our anticipations as to the present meet- ing squalling in interest and importance that of lastspring have been gathering last year was, it will be remembered, the inaugural movement in connection with the " Ashdown Picture,'' a subscrip- tion testimonial, to be presented to the Earl of Craven, in grateful recognition of the kind and liberal patronage he bestows on the sport. The coursing community— to their credit be it recorded— entered into the scheme with enthusiasm; a large sum was at once subscribed, the very valuable services of Mr Stephen Pearce, the eminent artist, secured, and all the preliminaries of this magnificent tribute to his lordship fully settled. Mr Pearce has since set to work con amore, and has already made such progress as to warrant the h* pe that this great work may be completed in the course of the year. The members of the Craven family have already sat, and the " studies" are in themselves perfect gems of art. The portraits of Lady Craven, in her dashing phaeton, Lady Grey de Wilton, Lady Evelyn Bruce, and the Ladies Blanche, Beatrix, and Emily ( 8ylvia, Aurora, and Diana, as they have been most aptly termed) are most beautiful, worthy, indeed, of such charming subjects. With equal fidelity has the artist repro- duced the high bred and essentially aristocratic bearing of the Earl of Craven; while the portraits of Lord Grey de Wilton, Lord Sefton, Lord Uffington ( now absent with his re- giment in Canada), and the Hon G. Craven are simply faultless, both as regards happiness in resemblance and perfection in exe- cution. Many other portraits are in various stages of completion, amongst which may be particularised those of Mr W. Long, Mr East, Mr Begbie, Mr Allison, Mr Bowles, Talbot the trainer, & c, all of which are admirably characteristic. Of course the difficul- ties Mr Pearce experiences in the way of getting the numerous " sitters" to his studio in Queen Anne- street are very great, and to these alone may be attributed the fact of the picture not being in a more forward state. When finished we have no hesitation in predicting for it an artistic success equal to that of Frith's " Derby Day." The applications for nominations for the Craven Champion Cup by far exceeded the limited sixty- four, and conse- quently a very considerable number of greyhounds were on the spot, whose owners, however " ready and willing" to join issue for the great event, were forced to remain passive spectators until after the second day, when fresh stakes were made up, and opportunity afforded to those shut out of participating in the sport. As usual, the influx of visitors was such as to tax severely the accommodation afforded by the village of Lambourne, the in- habitants of which place reaped a good harvest during the meeting. Under Mr Bowker, the present landlord of the Red Lion, that esta- blishment has satisfactorily emerged from the " cloud" under which it was unfortunately placed last spring, and the catering afforded by Mr B. during the autumn and winter meetings hav- ing been found far superior to that of his predecessors, he was on the present occasion rewarded by a full house and a well attended table. On Monday the entry was, as usual, most satisfactorily presided over by Mr Bowles. The Craven Champion CUp con- tained ten Scotch and fifty- four English greyhounds, Scotland being represented by Mr W. G. Borron's nominations, Golf and Deerfoot, Lord Binning's Bracken and Bergamot, Mr D. W. Brown's Birthright and Brecelyn, Mr Lindsay's Laverock, Mr Blanshard's Baffler, Mr Gibson's Golden Dream, and Mr Cal- lander's Coorooran, Amongst the English representatives were Lord Sefton's Sapphire and Streamer from Croxteth. Worcester- shire sent Donna del Lago, Don Felix, Prima Donna, and Re- venge ; Yorkshire— Lucky Boy, Little Boy, Cresswell, and Smi- lax; Lancashire— Luna, Be Quiet, Merrimac, Heiress, Briar; Cheshire— Amelia; Wiltshire— Lucksall, Lady of the Manor, King David, Editha; Leicestershire— Gabriel and Glendower; Cambridgeshire and the Eastern Counties— Eattle, Portland, Equity, Monarch, Dart, and Malcolm; Berkshire— Glimpse at Glory, Beautiful Rose, and Economist. Although the Isleworth kennel did not send a single representative, the metropolitan dis- trict was in great force, consisting of The Bee, Bold Effort, Perse- verance, Patty, Supple, Asterope, Noviciate, & c. The " House" was represented by Rifleman, Cotillon, and Colchicum. The Uffington Plate was also filled early, with one Scotch ( Bucephalus), and fifteen English dogs. In the evening about forty gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner, the chair, as usual, being taken by Mr C. Jardine, supported by Mr W. G. Borron, Col Goodlake, Mr W. Long, Mr East, Mr Randell, Mr Bland, Mr Powell, Mr Percy, Mr Stocken, Mr Saxton, MrWorrall, MrCage, Mr Blundell, Mr Mather, Dr Eltringham, Mr D. Bateman, Mr Ellis, Mr Smith, Mr Swinburne, Mr Cheveley, Messrs Quihamp- ton, Mr S. C. Lister, Mr Myonett, Mr F. Long, Mr J. S. Bowles, & c. In the course of the dinner, the chairman rose and said that although it was unusual to proceed to business until the withdrawal of the cloth, he would, in order to facilitate the printing of the card, at once propose the stewards and field stewards, for which offices he named Col Goodlake, Messrs W. G. Borron, C. Randell, 8. C. Lister, and J. Purser in the former, and Lord Grey de Wilton Mr J. 8. Bowles, Mr W. Long, and Mr East in the latter capacity— a selection that met with unanimous ap- proval. After dinner, Mr C. Jardine, in proposing the usual . oyal toasts, referred in most felicitous terms to the ap- proaching marriage of the Prince of Wales with the Princess Alexandra, alluding to the auspicious event having called forth from the country at large the very best feel- ings of loyalty and devetion to our future King and Queen. The toast of the evening, " The Health of the Earl of Craven," was then proposed by the Chairman, in a short speech of genuine elo- quence, in the course of which he alluded in the warmest terms to the liberal welcome his lerdship invariably extended to visitors to Ashdown, and to his anxiety to afford to strangers the best possible sport; in proof of which Mr Jardine went on to relate a " little incident" in connection with the sport on the morrow. It having been represented to Lord Craven that many coursers bringing dogs from a distance were anxious to course the Slopes of Compton Bottom on the first day, that fine ground having been hitherto preserved for the second, his lord- ship had, with that considerate kindness which always distin- guished him, caused arrangements to be made by which that desire could be complied with. The Chairman concluded by calling on the company to drink the health of the Earl of Craven " with all the honours," a request that elicited a most en- thusiastic response. The Chairman then gave, as the last toast, " Mr Borron, and the Visitors to Ashdown Park," in returning thanks for which Mr Borron said he could hardly be called a " visitor," inasmuch as this was the third time he had been present at Ashdown, adding that he was always glad to travel 500 miles to the meetings, as friendly feeling and good fellowship existed at Ashdown Park in a far greater degree than else- where. Mr. Powell then rose and proposed " The Health of the Chairman," a toast that was of course received with acclamations, and after Mr C. Jardine had suitably and briefly acknowledged the compliment, the business of the evening was proceeded with, and the draw for the Craven Cup and Uffington Plate got through expeditiously, and without a " hitch." The list was subse- quently read through as a matter of form, but there was little or no betting. Owing to the clashing with Nottingham Races, there were no professional bookmakers present, and the owners of the greyhounds engaged did not seem inclined to speculate. The meet was fixed as usual for 9: 30 a. m., at the Lambourne corner of the Park, and a general move was made for bed long before midnight. On Tuesday a clear, sharp morning, with a slight frost, resulted in one of the most delightful coursing days ever known at Ash- down. The sun shone brilliantly " from morn till dewy eve," and the genial atmosphere, together with an invigorating and health- inspiring breeze, contrasted forcibly with that of the open, ing days of the meeting last year, when, it will be remembered the intense cold went far towards nullifying all enjoyment of the sport. At an early hour the little village was all astir, the un- wonted brightness of themorningbeingsufficientto have prevented even the " sluggard," immortalised by Dr Watts, from " slum- bering again," after having been once aroused. The unequalled beauty of the country was never seen under a more favourable aspect, and the oldest frequenter of the Ashdown meetings could scarcely remember a more promising prospect of a thoroughly pleasant week than that which presented itself on the early morn of Tuesday. The first inquiry of the coursers " eager for the fray" was, of course, directed to the whereabouts of the cards, but for a long time they were forced to put up with the repetition of their in- quiry usually assigned to " echo," in the absence of a tangible and satisfactory answer. At length it gradually " oozed" out that owing to the incapacity of the men who had been brought down from London expressly to " set up" the cards, the whole affair resulted in a " bungle," and it was not until after having arrived at the rendezvous that the cards ( such as they were) were obtainable at all, and then only in driblets. They were, moreover, when secured, found to be full of errors, the pedigrees, as well as the names and colours of the dogs, being very incorrect. At the first blush, a mishap like this occurring at Ashdown Park, where the meetings not only profess to be, but in most respects really are, " model'\ ones, would appear to be quite inexcusable. In this instance, however, the management is scarcely to blame, as every precaution seems to have been adopted to ensure the work being done properly. Punctual to time, the House party arrived, consisting of Lord and Lady Craven, the Ladies Blanche, Beatrix, and Emily Craven, Lady Evelyn Bruce and the Hon G. Bruce, the Hon P. Craven, the Hon G. Craven, Lord Sefton, Lord Grey de Wilton, Lieut- Col Bathurst, Major Boothby, & c. Lady Grey de Wilton, we regret to say, was prevented from being on the ground owing to a fall from her horse; fortunately, however, we are in- formed that the accident is not likely to be attended with any serious consequences. There was not so large an assemblage as might have been anticipated at the meet, which was, as usual, at the Lambourne corner of the park, at 9: 30 a. m., many of the greyhounds being only accompanied by their trainers, and Mr W. G. Borron was the only Scotch gentleman present. A move was ultimately made for Rubbing House Hill, beating the Park side of it first, and the sport commenced with The Craven Champion Cup, for which Luna and Close Shaver were placed in the charge of Raper; a good hare speedily bounded from her form, to which Luna led on the outside, turned, and throughout a nice trial exhibited far the more speed in the racing stretches to the plantation. Amelia and Geraint: The former got first from slips, but the hare favouring Ge- raint, he on sufferance gained first turn; Amelia taking the next, and getting well placed, closely drove her game se- veral times, and attempted to kill, but keeping her position, ultimately picked up her hare, and won very decisively, Baffler, in a short course, leading David, turned and took the two following points, when the latter shot in and killed Luck's All and Revenge; The hare slightly went in favour of Revenge, who wrenched the hare a couple of lengths in advance of Luck's All, the latter going up and taking the following point; but Revenge, again gaining possession, won a moderate trial with a trifle to spare. Supple and Cresswell: Cresswell led a length until the hare bore short round to Supple, who closely wrenched for some distance, but in attempting to kill fell heavily, and Cress- well went on with a strong lead, balancing the points ; Supple then again went to the front, but was unable to hold her position, and Cresswell giving a good go- by took the hare to the bushes. The Bee and Golden Dream ( two sisters): The Bee led on the outside, turned twice, and Golden Dream killed. In a fine slip on the slope rising from Compton Bottom, Bracken and Rifleman got well off together, Bracken on the outer circle reaching the hare a length in front of Rifleman, who took the second turn. Bracken again well placing herself drove the hare down the hill- side, when she brought Pussy round, and Rifleman going on led into Ashdown Wood, where Bracken so seriously injured one of his eyes that it is feared he will be permanently blind. To a hare beaten from Compton Bot- tom Plantation Portland and Prima Donna ran an undecided, after which Portland was drawn. This was decidedly a mistake, he being far the superior animal. Donna del Lago and Editha: The former raced away, gaining the first turn three lengths in advance. Editha then wrenched twice; Donna then went on the outer side and killed. Glendower outpaced Bold Effort to the hare, cleverly working his game, and kept his opponent out until he ran up seven or eight points ; Bold Effort then shot in and killed. Deerfoot and Heiress: The former led, but the hare bear- ing round in favour of Heiress, she got good possession, which she kept for a considerable distance, scoring five or six good points in succession, letting in Deerfoot, who took the four fol- lowing wrenches; Heiress then again took the hare, ricked her four or five times, turning to Deerfoot, who killed. Brocelyn and Perseverance: The latter gained the race up, and across a fine piece of seeds well worked her game until she succeeded in kill- ing, winning very decisively. Gabriel and Smilax: The latter led and the hare, bearing round to Gabriel, was killed between them— undecided. Next time Smilax went oft six lengths in ad- vance, gaining first turn; Gabriel took the next; the hare breaking away, Smilax again showed most speed, and picked up her game very cleverly, Gabriel running evidently far from in his Ames- bury form. Retribution and Briar ran an undecided; afterwards, in their final spin, Briar led and took the two first turns, Retri- bution the following one; Briar then, in her close, clever style, went to work and won rather prettily. Economist and Sonnet: The former led five lengths, turned and fell a purler, but quickly recovering, went on and took the hare to himself, throughout a long course barely receiving any assistance. Sonnet killing from Economist's turn. Ellington and Knutsford: The latter led two lengths for some distance, when Ellington drew past and scored first turn, Knutsford serving afterwards won with a trifle to spare. Be Quiet asid Lurline: Be Quiet was three lengths fastest to the hare, and throughout a nice trial won very hollow, finishing with a clever kill. To a sharp running hare Glimpse st Glory led Lucky Boy, and turned twice, the latter scoring the following turnGlimpse, again quick to work, turned aad killed. May Flower and Equity: The latter led about a length to the hare, and after strongly wrenching her game four or five tir. ies May Flower cannoued against her, knocking her over, owing to which accident Mayflower got well to work, rubbed off , the early score, and had got four points to her credit, when Equity shot in and killed, thereby quite de- stroying her own chance.' Beautiful Rose and Laverock ran very evenly for some distance, toe hare coming round in favour of the Rose, but Laverock went tn the extreme outside, aud killed. Bergamot and Fitzherbert: Lord Binning's bitch led, but Fitz- herbert, as usual, going wide, « hot in and gained first turn ; after a couple ® f exchanges Berganiot wrenched twice, pat in Fitz- herbert, gave a fine go- by, and tilled. Alexander and Monarch: quite realised; and the habitufe of Ashdown, most of whom were _ .... present, as well as many leading coursers from all directions, will The latteJr led foul" lengths, turned, and let in Alexander, who look back to the past week's sport ae one of unprecedented pleasure aad en joymmt, Oae of the most interesting features of the great and wrenched four or times, ,& e jiare eecapingin eavsr. t. sfore Malcolm got in. Lady of the Manor and Streamer : Streamer outpaced Lady of the Manor for first turn. After exchanging a point each Lady of the Manor put in some close, driving work, Streamer going slack up to some fallows. Lady of the Manor had well won to this point, but falling when striking at the hare again let in Streamer, who went on and wiped off the points against him, bringing the hare well round to the Lady, who led to Thick Thorn Copse. Cotillon and Dart: The for- mer ledtwo lengths, and very cleverly kept selfish possession ef the hare for seven or eight points, in succession, when she put in Dart, again quickly got in, and took the hare across some rough grass, where a second hare jumped, followed by Dart; Cotillon after- wards had a gruelling single- handed course throughout, which she ran very gamely. Lucky Boy and May Morning: The latter, two lengths the faster, got well on the line of his hare, which he worked beautifully, never allowing Lucky Boy to . be once in front until he killed. After a short undecided, Lalla Rookh raced on the outside circle to the hare, wrenched, and killed. Silversides and Golf: The hare running short round in favour of Golf, gave him a lead of four lengths, getting on good terms with his game he turned, wrenched twice, and killed very cleverly. Sapphire and Birthright ran an undecided; afterwards Sapphire shot away from Birthright, and with a strong lead picked up her hare brilliantly. Merrimac went off with a good lead, scoring the first three points, when Noviciate got to work, driving the hare to the top of the slope leading to Kingston Warren, and throughout a good course, in which a number of exchanges took place, Noviciate showed superiority in working, although Mer- rimac was unquestionably the faster. Don Felix and Coorooran: Don Felix took a commanding lead of three lengths to the hare, turned twice, when Caorooran took the following turn and at- tempted to kill, but, stumbling, again gave Don Felix a good position, the latter turning twice, when Coorooran killed from the inside. Patty very cleverly defeated Rattle, who is not run- ning in the form she has exhibited. Although now getting very late, it was decided upon going as far through the card as possible, commencing the Uffington Plate with Lady of the Lake and True- boy. The Lady took a strong lead and hollowly defeated Trueboy, who rendered but little assistance. Colchicum, in a nice trial, outpaced Banter, and showed superiority in working abilities. Locum Tenens led Sincere eight lengths, turned three times in succession, serving himself each time, and led to Thick Thorn Copse. Evening Star and Boy in Yellow : The latter gained the two first turns, when Evening Star got to work, and after scoring twice, attempted to kill, but fell; quickly regaining her feet, how- ever, she w* nt past the Boy, wrenched down to some fallows, where the Boy in Yellow again got in and killed. Bucephalus and Golden Arrow ran an undecided; in their final spin Bucephalus led and scored the two first turns ; Golden Arrow then took a couple of good points, but Bucephalus, coming again, won rather cleverly. Lily and Mousetrap: The latter led, wrenched twice, and turned. Lily then got in with a succession of good points, when she struck at the hare with a determination to kill, but failing, fell; Mousetrap then led to Thick Thorn Plantation. Roundshot and Blackthorn ran an undecided, and darkness coming on before any second hare for them could be found, their final course had to be left over for the following morning. Thus ended rather a lo « g day's sport, forty courses having been run off'. exclusiveofun- decideds, which must be acknowledgedisstrong workfor Ashdown Park. However, but few of^ the courses were of any length ; in fact, it is seldom I havc'sewi hares ruu so indifferently on this ground. Five of the Scotch division went down in the first round— viz, Deerfoot, Brobelyn, Golden Dream, Birth- right and Coorooran, as at the W « aterloo meeting, just half the number entered. There was again a considerable party at dinner, Mr C. Jardine occupying the post of honour. Before proceeding to business, Mr Borron rose and proposed the health of Mr Bowles, speaking in the most flattering terms of that gentleman's zeal in promoting the prosperity of the Ashdown meetings, and ef his uniform courtesy and gentlemanly behaviour. Mr Bowles in returning thanks alluded to the invaluable assistance he invariably received from Mr C. Jardine, and referred to the patronage of Lord Craven, who, in liberality and kindness, he justly statedstands unrivalled. The Veteran Stakes of eight dogs was then made up, extending the sport for the morrow to forty- one courses. The reading of the card was again productive of no speculation, and the company separated at an early hour. On Wednesday the fixture was Maddle Farm, at 9: 30 a. m„ when the weather was again most delightfully fine. It was nearly ten o'clock before the first brace were put into slips, the day's sport beginning with the " remanet" of the previous day in the Uffington Plate, between Roundshot and Blackthorn, after an undecided. The beating commenced on a piece of fallows. A good hare quickly springing from her form, Blackthorn led, and although the hare slightly favoured Roundshot, the former went on the extreme outer circle, and won very decisively. The Craven Champion Cup ( first ties) : Luna outpaced Amelia, and in a short trial won every point, finishing with a clever kill. Baffler and Revenge: Baffler led in a good slip two lengths, scoring the first turn; Revenge took the following one, served her- self, and wrenched to Baffler, who again put in his opponent, but quickly gave a clear go- by, turned twice, wrenched, and killed. Cresswell and The Bee: After leaving slips both became unsighted. The Bee, getting first sight, gained an advantage of three lengths, turned, and after three ricks Cresswell got in on the hill side; the hare then doubled back across the flat of Maddle Farm for Thickthorn Copse, The Bee running beautifully, and bringing her hare round three times in succession, each time putting in Cresswell and giving him a go- by, ultimately drawing away several lengths, and killing meritoriously. When Cresswell was taken up he bled from ears, nese, and mouth, having unfortunately ruptured a blood vessel, and it is feared will have to be destroyed ; he is brother to Chloe, winner of the Waterloo Cup. Bracken led Prima Donna, turned, and put in the latter twice ; she then gave a clever go- by, and well worked her hare afterwards to cover. Donna del Lago and Glendower: Immediately on leaving slips Donna del Lago shot up to a bad hare and killed ; this was an unfortunate trial for Glendower, whose clever working abilities could n » t be displayed. Heiress and Perseverance: The latter gained first possession, which she kept to the foot of the down, where Heiress shot past, and led over the hill out of sight; when again in view, Perseverance wrenched, and drove her game for some distance, ultimately killing and winning with something to spare. Economist was much faster than Knutsford, frequently putting in the latter, and as frequently going past him, finishing with a kill of great merit. Be Quiet and Glimpse at Glory : The former went off very fiery, with a lead of five lengths, turned, and served herself; she then put the hare to Glimpse at Glory, who began to be very merry, but the hare breaking away, Be Quiet again fetched her back, and ( being always the faster in the stretches) wrenched twice, and killed. May Flower was slightly faster than Bergamot, who, however, when in was the more clever; she could not contend with the superior pace of her opponent. Laverock and Monarch: The former led and turned, and Monarch wrenched and killed; undecided. They also had another, which I thought in favour of Monarch. In their final spin, the hare first favoured Laverock, but, shifting her position, well placed Monarch, and throughout a towelling course he won very hollow, severely laming himself when killing his hare. Streamer led Stitch five lengths, bringing the hare well round from some tur- nips, Stitch getting the lead in the road ; but the hare turning on to some seeds Streamer again got in, and again turned it to Stitch, who now well worked her across the seeds, quite obliterat- ing the early points made by Streamer, when the hare got on to a narrow piece of fallows, across which Streamer drew away and killed cleverly, which won him the course out of the fire. Cotillon and May Morning : After leaving slips the hare ran down hill, to which May Morning led, but, over- shooting himself fearfully, let Cotillon get well placed, and, shaking oft the stiffness caused by his long spin yester- day, he stuck close to his hare for several points, and killed. May Morning could not be doing his best, after being disap- pointed, as we have seen him go so much faster. In a short scrambling course on the hill side, Lalla Rookh gained the fiat over Golf. Sapphire led Noviciate five or six lengths, turned, served herself, and ran straight into her game, killing very meri- toriously. Don Felix and Patty: The former was unsighted to the top of the down; when well placed the trainer of Patty reck- lessly rode between The Don and the hare, which again unsighted him ; during this time Patty had got well placed, bringing the hare round; they then got together; the latter, however, wrenched twice and killed, which gained her the fiat. The Uffington Plate: To a rare hare, beat from the plantation in Kingston Warren, Colchicum led for a considerable distance, bring- ing the hare well round to Lady of the Lake, who afterwards, throughout along pumping trial, won very decisively, bringing the hare back to the plantation she started from, Colchicum having pulled up at the top of the hill beaten. Locum Tenens and Evening Star: Locum Tenens, exhibiting most pace, gained the first turn, Evening Star cleverly taking the following one, putting the hare to Locum Tenens, who then went very wide. The Star, again getting well placed, closely and cleverly drove her game to near the clump of firs on the top of Kingston Warren, when Locum Tenens came again, wrenched twice, and turned into cover; from where I stood I could not see how Locum had rubbed off the number of strong points made by Evening Star in the middle of the course. Bucephalus and Lily: The former led, turned, and cleverly worked his game for several strong points; Lily, getting to work, wrenched twice and killed, having no chance of success. Blackthorn and Scarlet Run- ner : The former gained first possession, and closely worked his game to the top of the down leading to Maddle Farm, where Scarlet Runner took up the running and kept it descending the hill on the opposite side, but had not rubbed off the strong points made in the early part of the course by Blackthorn before the latter again took command of the hare, which he kept during the time they remained in our sight— this was a good performance of Blackthorn's, he having run an average course early in the morn- ing, and now meeting Scarlet Runner, who was comparatively fresh. The Ashdown Purse.— Close Shaver and Geraint: The former, a length to two lengths the faster, turned, served himself, wrenched three or four times, and killed. Luck's All led King David several lengths, when they went over the brow oat of our view. Golden Dream led Supple, scoring the two first turns; the latter then got to the front, and Golden Dream, going clear by, scored the follow, ing four points; Supple then shot in and attempted to kill, but, failing, Golden Dream drew away and killed. Portland went off with a lead of three lengths, turned twice, when he let in Rifle- man, who brought the hare round again to Portland; the latter then led two lengths, and killed very cleverly. Editha outworked Bold Effort, who occasionally showed superior speed, but did not continue with that determination we have seen him exhibit else- where. Deerfoot and Gabriel: The latter did not appear to extend himself, Deerfoot winning very decisively. Brocelyn and Retri- bution : The latter led, turned, and again went on with a lead of two lengths, but, stumbling, let in Brocelyn, who went on wrenching across Kingston Warren. Retribution again drew up, but, stumbling, Brocelyn wrenched and killed, Sonnet and Ellington were slipped to a racing hare, beat from fallows, near Seven Barrows, Ellington taking a lead of three lengths, driving his hare across Kingston Warren up the hill for Maddle Farm, where Sonnet got in for a couple of wrenches; Ellington then took the hare over the brow of the hill down to Maddle Farm, when the hare ran away from both to Compton Bottom Plantation; this course was near three miles straight from beginning to finish. Lurline led Little Boy six lengths, beating him very hollow, finishing with a kill of merit. Equity and Fitzherbert: The latter was much the fastest, but would not run in the line of his game, through which he got well defeated by the clever little Equity. Alexander led Beautiful Rose five lengths, scoring the two first turns, when he shut up, the Rose closely driving her hare for some time across fallows, until she succeeded in killing. Malcolm and Lady of the Manor raced very evenly together for some time, until the hare changed her line of running, well placing Lady of the Manor, who scored several rapid points. Malcolm then got in for a couple of wrenches, but was quickly displaced by the Lady, who took selfish possession throughout to the belt near Kingston Lyle Farm. Lucky Boy was two lengths faster than Dart, driving the hare to some fallows across which Dart led, but failed to bring the hare round before Lucky Boy again went in advance, and led to the plantation. Asterope and Silversides: After a fine race Asterope drew away three lengths, turned, served herself, and again turned, went on with a good lead, ultimately getting six lengths in advance, and killed without allowing a single point to her opponent. Merrimac, in a short trial, beat Birthright, and Coorooran as easily defeated Rattle. In the Veteran Stakes, Galantuomo, in a short, circuitous run course, put out Oakball; and Cobweb, much favoured by th hare in a short spurt, beat CorporaL Blitz outpaced Note" after an undecided, and Rosy Morn, running in her youthful form, was far more clever than Bride. The short spins of these old fa- vourites closed a very superior day's sport, the difference in the class of hares to that of the first day being extraordinary; those of Tuesday running short and bad, while those found in Kingsten Warren on Wednesday were of the true Ashdown breed, many of them producing heart- breaking trials, such as those between Cresswell and the Bee, Laverock and Monarch, Lady of the Lake and Colchicum, Blackthprn and Scarlet Runner, Sonnet and El- lington, & c. The day was delightfully fine throughout, and nothing could be more charming than the scene in Kingston Warren. The beat extended over a great range of country, beginning at Maddle Farm, on which we had several courses. We then beat back for the Upper Lambourne Fields, round into Kingston Warren, which occupied some time; from there to Kingston Warren Farm and Kingston Lyle, finishing at the belt of trees near the Ridgway, and but a short distance from the Blowing Stone, nearly six miles from head- quarters, where the dinner party was again numerous. After the cloth was drawn, and the usual toasts disposed of, the Lambourne Cup of 16 dogs, the Weyland Stakes of 16 dogs, and the Compton Bottom Stakes of eight dogs were " lade up and drawn. In tke course of the evening the trainer of Patty was called before the stewards and fined £ L and severely reprimanded, for riding before Mr Deighton's Don Felix during his course with Patty. On Thursday we met at the Eubbing House at the, usual hour. The morning presented a, dull appearance, but long btfore noon it cleared up, and another- most agreeable coursing dav . followed. The first brace were put into slips' for The Craves Champion Cup ( s econd ties);.- Xuna anc Baffler were slipped to a hare beaten from cover. Luna led four lengths, 4 in his third that too much was asked of him. Lady Agnes seems wrenched four or five times, when the hare escaped. The Bee and Bracken: The former led three lengths, turned, and went round Bracken for the next time, driving the hare across the val- ley to the top of the down; when near some carts she got disap- pointed in killing, Bracken getting in with a lead of several lengths. After wrenching, The Bee again drew up and tripped the hare, which Bracken instantly killed. Donna del Lago and Per- severance were slipped on Mr Styles's farm, Lambourne Fields. Donna went off with a lead four lengths in advance of Perse- verance, and so closely and cleverly worked her hare that she never left an opening for her opponent to get in, the hare taking them across the Lambourne road on to Mr Wal- dron's farm, where Pussy escaped in cover, hotly pur- sued by Donna del Lago, who, on going into the plantation, was seized by a shepherd's dog, and would have been severely bitten had it not been for the timely arrival of those who rode to take her up. Economist led Briar three lengths for some distance, but before reaching the hare Briar drew past and scored the three first points, Economist taking the next turn ; Briar then took the hare up the side of the fence, and won rather cleverly. Be Quick was five lengths faster than May Flower, scoring the first turn, Mayflower taking the next, when Be Quiet killed. Monarch, having severely injured himself in his course on the pre- vious day, was drawn lame, and Streamer ran a bye with Sealing Wax, who accidentally broke his leg in the race to the hare, and was afterwards destroyed. Lalla Rookh was four lengths faster than Cotillon, beating her very decisively in a moderate trial. To a bad hare Sapphire led several lengths, turned, and killed, giving no chance whatever to Patty. The Ashdown Purse ( first ties) : Luck's All went off very stilty after her long course yesterday, Close Shaver winning decisively. Portland led Golden Dream, and kept his position to cover. Editha and Deerfoot: The former led, and turned twice, when she let in Deerfoot, who again put the hare back to Editha, who quickly killed. Retribution and Ellington: Afterthe severe pump- ing Ellingtoa had had yesterday he was unable to live the pace with Retribution, who led and turned three times in succession, putting in Ellington, and each time going clear by him; on crossing some wheat on to the downs Ellington warmed up, and scored the following four points, but Retribution again coming, took the hare to the plantation, Lurline and Equity ran an un- decided, which some thought was won by Equity, but from where I stood I quite agreed with the judge. In their next spurt Equity led on the outer circle, cleverly working her game until she killed, winning this time without doubt. We bad now left Lambourne Fields, where the trials had been indifferent, and began beating Thickttiorne Copse. Lady of the Manor raced on the outside first to the hare, and turned ; Beautiful Rose, serv- ing, took the next point; Lady of the Manor then wrenched four or five times, and killed handsomely. After an undecided, the hare much favoured Asterope, who in a short, circuitous race was always on the inside, and killed, never giving Lucky Boy a chance of getting in. Merrimac and Coorooran : The latter was a length first up, and turned ; Merrimac scored the next; when Coorooran climbing the hill best, wrenched several times, and killed. The Lambourne Cup : Sentinel was faster than Look Out to a hare found on the side of Rubbing House Hill, and when at work was far more clever. Fleet the Second and Amelia were slipped to a travelling hare on the top of the down ; Amelia, lead- ing, turned the hare in favour of Fleet the Second, who quickly put it back, when Amelia killed. Wild Hyacinth and Bluebell: In a course of great length Wild Hyacinth led, and cleverly worked her hare across the flat of Compton Bottom, through the bushes to Thickthorne Plantatien, barely receiving any assistance from Bluebell. Bonnie Dundee beat Charles the Second, being the fastest, although Charles was equally clever. Coming Day and May Morning ran two undecideds, after which May Morning was drawn by arrangement. Sola and Seaweed : The latter hung in slips, giving a strong lead to Sola, but before reaching the hare Seaweed drew past, wrenched three or four times, and killed on the top of the down. Cheer Boys scored all the early points in a moderate course from Compton Bottom Plantation up the hill, where Buxom Lass joined in, wrenched, and killed. Terrible raced away from Bright Hope, driving Pussy for a short distance, when she killed. The Weyland Stakes: Embezzlement decisively beat Poetry, who was only in on sufferance at the latter end of a moderate spin. Wreath hollowly beat Top of my Thumb, who showed no form whatever. To ahare facing the hill Lily of Killarney went oft slack, and The Boy in Yellow, going on resolutely, won with some to spare. Arabian, during the time they were in my sight, cle- verly disposed of Somersault. Cecilia was much faster than Cotton Ball, and beat her very decisively. Northern Rebel gained the race up from Nelly Brown on fallows, and also the three following points ; when the hare got upon sound ground Nelly Brown outcounted her opponent, and ultimately won rather handsomely. Glimpse at Glory raced away from Nimble, ' and across the upper portion of Maddle Farm admitted of but little assistance from her opponent. After an undecided, Let Go gained the race up and following turn, when England Yet went to work, rubbed off the early score against her, and won well. The Uffington Plate ( second ties): Lady of the Lake went off very stiff after her long course yesterday, and Locum Tenens, going off very fiery, quickly got possession, wrenched several times, and turned to the Lady, who instantly killed. Buce- phalus and Blackthorn: The latter gained the race up, when several exchanges followed; Bucephalus then took the hare, scored four points in succession, and killed near White Harse Hill. The Veteran Stakes: Galantuomo, after an undecided, de- cisively beat Cobweb in a short course in turnips; and Rosy Morn, in a long course, hollowly beat Blitz. The Compton Bottom Stakes: Lucy, on the inner circle, gained the race up by favour; afterwardsWennington, in a long course, out- paced her throughout. Mendicant, to a good hare, led Kildonan on fallows, and scored three points out of four. Stockings gained the race up and two first turns, when she fell a purler, letting in Sally Sykes, who afterwards scored all the racing points to the top of the hill; Stockings, evidently stunned by her fall, ran very slack. Blemish never allowed Gipsy Queen to be once in front in a good trial, the former running beautifully close and clever. This course finished the card of the day, which contained forty courses, one hundred and twenty courses having been run in the three days, exclusive of the undecideds— capital sport at this late period of the season, when hares are continually on the move The running this day did not equal that of yesterday, although we had several very superior trials. The last of the Scotch division ( Lord Binning's Bracken) went down in the second course of the day, eight English greyhounds being left in to contend for the Champion Cup. Of these, Lancashire appeared the most formidable, having five left in out of eight, viz, Luna, Briar, Be Quiet, Streamer, and Sapphire ; the Hounslow Kennel having one in The Bee; Worcester, Donna del Lago; and Staffordshire, Lalla Rookh, all being quick, clever greyhounds. Twenty gentlemen met at dinner in the evening, Mr C. Jardine again presiding. The Rubbing House Stakes of four dogs was made up, the card consisting of twenty- two courses for Friday, when the meet was fixed for Maddle Farm. A full report of Friday and Saturday's running will appear next week, with concluding remarks on the meeting. ASHDOWN. EATON PARK ( NEAR CHESTER) MEETING- MAECH 3.

Mr Dunstan's Topper beat Mr Voller's Sweeper not to have recovered the desperate gruelling that she got at Kearntown; and Iceberg, in his course with Wee Nell, after an undecided, did not make an effort in a good trial. In the Crino- lines, Gunner beat everything decisively till he met Star of the Evening, who was a near match for him, and, indeed, had rather the better pace of the two. Our next public meeting will be in November, when the Diamor St Leger, for puppies, will be run off. This stake closes on the 1st of July, with £ 1 forfeit. There will also be an Old Dog Stake, with a piece of plate given by the members of the club. NEVKK MIND. INCE BLUNDELL AND LITTLE CROSBY MEETING. MABCH 4 & 5.

BRANDON MEETING.— By permission of Lord Boyne, a cours- ing meeting took place on Friday, Feb 27. There were plenty of hares, many of which were not wanting in speed, and a very fair proportion of them, after affording good sport, managed to get away. The following is a return of the coursing:— First ties: Mr Richardson's Saddler beat Mr G. Thornton's Whitworth Lad, Mr Thompson's dog beat Mr Morgan's bitch, Mr Applegarth'f beat Mr Lee's Abel, Mr Pearson's beat Mr Macknight's Charley, Mr Smith's beat Mr Farrow's, MrEael's beat Mr Angus's, Mr Jack- son's Rose beat Mr Thompson's, Mr Gibson's beat Mr Graham's.— Second ties: Butler beat Mr Thompson's, Mr Applegarth's beat Mr Pearson's; Mr Smith's beat Mr Seal's, Rose beat Mr Gibson's. — Third ties: Saddler beat Mr Applegarth's, Rose beat Mr Smith's. — Fourth ties : Rose beat Saddler, and won the stake.— The fol- lowing matches were afterwards run : Mr G.

Thornton's Bonny Breast Knot beat Lord Boyne's Spring, Mr Surtees's Meg of the Mill beat Mr Farrow's Towlaw, Mr Adamson's beat Mr Lindsley's. MrF. Smith, of Langley, officiated as judge, and his decisions gave general satisfaction. After the coursing, a dinner took place at the house of Mr G. Thornton, and was attended by a numerous company. Mr Hepworth presided, and Mr Stokes occupied the vice- chair. In the course of the evening, the healths of Lord Boyne, J. Parrington, Esq, the chairman, Mr F. Smith, and other toasts were proposed, and warmly responded to. We are requested to state that the Market Weighton Open Meeting will take place on the 7th October and following days, instead of commencing on the 20th, as hitherto announced, in order to avoid clashing with the Burton Agnes Meeting. The rumour of the death of the stud greyhound Railroad is totally unfounded. The Barnton Club will hold a meeting to run for their Cup to- morrow ( Monday). Mr J. Hay has been appointed judge. Burton Agnes Meeting is fixed for Oct 20, 21, and 22. Mr Hay is appointed judge, with Raper slipper. Aldford Meeting will be held on the 17th inst. Either Mr T. M'George or Mr Bennett will officiate as judge. The Kilkenny Club Meeting has been postponed from the 12tb to the 30th inst, and following days.

This meeting was held on the magnificent estate of the Marquis of Westminster. The sport was the finest ever seen in the Park, the land being all grass, and equal, if not superior, to that of the Altcar meadows. The weather was fine, and the attendance large, every one being well satisfied with the day's pleasure. Mr Bennett's decisions gave universal satisfaction. Mr Close, the head keeper, did his work as an amateur well. J. B. DIAMOR OPEN MEETING- MARCH 4. Stewards : Lord Bective, Lord Lurgan, J. L. Naper, W. S. Garnett, f. Rodon, J. O. G. Pollock, C. A.

We had a glorious day for our meeting, ind everything went off to the satisfaction of all parties. The sh< w of hares was very good, and highly creditable to the landhoders and the efficient keeper, Thompson. Contrary to my expectation, they ran very soft— indeed, I never saw so many indiffereit hares at Diamor, and almost all slipped at were killed. Wi had in consequence many more undecideds than usual, wiich, particularly in Lady Java's case, materially interfered with the chance of some of the competitors. The first braes were slipped at 10: 45 ' a. m., and from that till 5 p. m. we ran 33 dicided courses for the Stakes, one course, a private match, and If undecideds, altogether 47 courses, besides waiting half an hour tf give the last dog time. Of the running, I may say that Glenchu, in the High Stakes, won all her coursea decisively, except, if course, her undecided with Lady. Java, which was short, with 1 bad hare.

On Feb 27, at his residence in Lower Mount- street, Dublin, Captain Joseph O'Brien, was " gathered to his fathers," at the patriarchal age of 80 years. For more than sixty years Captain O'Brien was known as a public courser, long before " public coursing" was recognised, in the modern acceptation of the term, and before the modern craft of slips was recognised, at least in Ireland, when " slipping from pocket- handkerchiefs'' was the prevalent system. Of late years Captain O'Britn filled an im- portant post under the Government in Dublin Castle, and was better known to the coursing community in Ireland, and occa- sionally in Wiltshire, under the nom de guerre of " Mr Foley." He was passionately and devotedly attached to the sport, and was undoubtedly the '' father of coursing" in Ireland. His opinion was always highly valued among his brethren of the leash, and " the poor old captain" was invariably chosen to " call down the card'' at a publiccoursing dinner. Hewastheownerof someof the best grey- hounds in Ireland in his day, and the performances of The Bar- rister, the Irish Baron, and Molly, with the anecdotes connected with their public running, will not easily be forgotten ; of late, owing to his public avocations and increasing years, he did not possess a regular team, though he reared many a good- un at his farms in the county Waterford, and was m « re frequently asso- ciated as a confederate with some other public courser. With his friend Mr Whyte, of Marl borough- street, and with others, he was on many an occasion joined, and for three years he was entirely confederated with Mr Barden, during ene of which years their united dogs won beyond eighty courses, every dog in their kennel being a public winner. In the Cork Club and the Spid- dal Club Captain O'Brien was more particularly " at home," but his loss will be felt and his place difficult to supply in almost every club in Ireland. He was present at the last November meeting of the Diamor Club, on an " out- side Irish jaunting car," and, though he had been long ailing previously to this, he never recovered from the cold which he caught on the bleak hills of Diamor; in fact, he may be said to have " died in harness." It would be a graceful tribute to the memory of the kindest friend, the fondest father, the best husband, and the truest sportsman of his day, if his friends and acquaint- ances would unite and contribute each a small sum towards the formation of a fund to found a " Foley Puppy Challenge Cup," on the self- sustaining principle, like the Limerick Puppy Challenge Cup, so that the name of Mr Foley would be remem- bered in Ireland whilst there existed " a tail upon a greyhound." Peace to his ashe?, and light be the turf upon his grave! On FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY, MAR 6. BANKRUPTS. Edward Morris Watson, Tottenham Court- road, mantle dealer.
