C. VICTORY / 1 UAKLE Y ' S TRIUMPHANT at Newmarket. NEWMARKET HANDICAP BEDOUIN ( Sent at 15 to 1). Charles Oakley again triumphant at Newmarket, winning the only race he advised upon with his especial choice, Bedouin, sent his subscribers and friends at 15 to 1, and stuck to with undiminished confidence up to the last hour. This, with his other glorious victories already this season, shows Oakley to be in his old form. C. Oakley would, however, en passant, impress on all who want to make money on the Turf, the absolute necessity of having sound and reliable in- formation, for It may be truly asserted that, without the assistance of a competent and sue essful adviser, who is in a position to quickly learn the result of trials, if horses are doing good work, if intended, & c, it is impossible to win handsomely. It is an acknowledged fact that for backers to follow the betting alone, and constantly investing on a lot of horses at short prices, as many do, must lead to heavy loss and dis- appointment; it is only by investing freely on the good things that are constantly occurring, that a large profit can be realised, and a man really and substantially increase his income. And now with respect to the City and Suburban, Metropolitan, Two Thousand and One Thousand Guineas, Great Northern, Chester Cup, and Derby, C. Oakley has some really first- rate things; he won these races last year, and considers them especially good for investment this season, barring accident. The Two Thousand, Chester Cup, and Derby especially, are certainties. C. Oakley's success year after year in predicting the winners of all the important races of the season is so well known throughout the length and breadth of the land, through the medium of this valuable journal, that it requires no further comment. Thousands can and would testify to the value of his advice. He will only further say to all who feel the want of a faithful and experienced monitor on Turf matters, let them apply at once to C. Oakley, who, from his great experience and extensive means of procuring the very best information, stands unrivalled. His terms are as follows:— To end of the year, £ 1 Is; six months, 10s 6d ; any single race, 13 stamps.— Address C. Oakley, 52, Red Lion- street, Hol- boni, London, W. C. np0 ALl7 WH0 BET.— D.

The husband of the deceased said he was a billiard marker. He last saw deceased alive at nine o'clock in the morning. For some years her health had been bad, and she was not in the habit of going out frequently. Two witnesses named Adams deposed to having seen Captain Cowper's horse take fright just aiter leaving the Level. Captain Cowper said his horse took fright through the band of the 4th City of London ( Foresters) coming nearer than they ought to have done. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death, ex- culpating Captain Cowper from any blame whatever. THE BILL OF MR SOMES.—( From the Saturday Review.)— Wha Mr Somes's bill amounts to is the total prohibition of beer to the working man on Sunday. It is a compulsory enforcement of total abstinence, at least on one day in the week for at least half the population of this country. ' Less than this the bill does not aim at, and it is as well that its real extent should be known. It not only excludes the Sunday excursionist from his visit to the country inn, but it dries up those foaming pots which meet us on leaving town churches on Sunday morning. It condemns the Sunday meal— the poor man's only meal— either to cold water or a dry crust. This may be quite right, but it is a tremendous innovation on the social life of a whole people, and it is all the yS' '' worse because it is one- sided, tyrannical, and oppressive. We of the comfortable classes have our cellars, our clubs, our bottled beer, our old cognac, our every means and appliance for recon- ciling as we can, or as we choose, our duties to ourselves, to society, to religion, and to health. We may either drink to satiety, in moderation, or not at all. Nobody interferes with us. Mr Somes does not legislate for the like of himself; he only steps in and orders what he thinks best for those who, as he doubtless thinks, cannot help themselves. Can't they, though ? Partial tj'ranny of this sort is not an Englishman's habit to endure. There is not a nation on the earth which would endura this sort of legislation, nor ought they to endure it. These are not the days for carrying out class passions, or for inviting sections of society to stand out against their fellows.

LONDON, SUNDAY, APRIL 12. nothing of the occasions when payments, owing by its Govern- ment to others, had to be enforced by a process known in law as " execution"), it will be well for the country to apply itself to economy, and so make both ends meet, rather than attempt to go on in the old form, and with the old establishments endeavour to run more than ever into indebtedness. THE PROPOSED SABBATH BILL. The " unco guid, or rigidly righteous," as Burns called them, must have come from a very queer origin. To judge of them by their acts, and we are told, on high authority, that we know a tree by its fruit, they must embody in their own persons the highest amount of self- esteem, with the smallest amount of care for other people. What they think is right; that is proposition the first; what others need, unless they think that others need it> is wrong; that is proposition the second. This major, and this minor, of their ill- connected logic conduct them to the conclu- sion that what they approve ought not only to be adopted by, but forced upon, all other people, and especially it is to be forced upon poor people who have not power to resist. Hence that rigid Sabbath legislation which is always di- rected against the poor, and never affects the rich— a legis- lation which knows nothing of clubs, but deals harshly with pub- lic- houses ; which forbids the working man at any time, and un- der any circumstances, or for any purpose, to obtain, on a Sunday, a pint of fresh beer from a public- house, but takes no heed what beer, or wise, or spirit, or anything else is obtained, or in what quantity, or at what hour on that day, at a club. Now we are not going to pretend that clubs are places for sottishness and guzzling. It is quite the reverse, and that is why we refer to them. Whatever may be at any time freely enjoyed is, as a rule, enjoyed in moderation. Put a needless restric- tion on its enjoyment, and you put on it a premium for excess. In that view of the case, therefore, we say that ab- solutely to shut up public- houses on Sunday is to create a motive to evade the law, and to use these houses to bad purposes. And the persons who so evaded the law would have the sympathy of numbers who were in no way affected by it, and they would so because the law was unequal, and therefore unjust. It is bad legislation to make laws that are not in accordance with general opinion, and certainly not in accordance with the opinions of the best men of the country, that is the men whose individual conduct never requires the restraint of laws, and who feel and act upon the principle that laws should be perfectly equal and just to all. Now to revert to the clubs, it is impossible to say that the rule of jus- tice is observed when a public- house is forcibly shut up the whole of Sunday, and a club is unrestrainedly left open the whole day. There is no getting over the sense of injustice which this inequality suggests. These " unco guid" people must liave a poor idea of the value of their moral teaching when they thus proclaim to the world that they can only keep the working classes from drunkenness by forcing upon them total abstinence. What, have they no eloquence to use, no powers of persuasion to exert, do they know no truths to present to the mind, can tfcey employ no arguments or relate no narratives that shall engage a willing attention and lead to hearty conviction ? It looks as if they felt that they must answer all these questions in the negative, and confess that, unless they have the power of legal compulsion on their side, they have no power whatever. To confess so much would not be creditable to them, nor, as we think, to the cause of which they pertinaciously pro- claim themselves the advocates. We think that cause a good one, and wish it was more wisely advocated and more generally recom- mended ; it would then have better success. Ite chances of success will not be improved by Mr Somes's bill. SERVIA— GREECE- ENGLISH MONEY LENDERS. For some inscrutable reason two of our morning contempo- raries have lately indulged in making a dead set at Turkey. They seldom do agree, but when they do " their unanimity is wonder- ful." Nor less wonderful is the blundering on which that unani- mity is founded. One of them ( and what we are going to relate makes the matter still more curious) is the cordial and honest op- ponent of Russian intrigues and Russian barbarity, and yet in this matter is playing the game of Russia in a way to surprise any one in the least degree acquainted with the affairs of the East. It has in pure innocent simplicity of error handed itself over to that party in Servia which, under the pretence of nationality, is work- ing out the desires of the Russian Court to absorb Servian nation- ality into Russian dependence. There is not one single matter of fact relied on for this attack upon Turkey, but after a' fashion well understood and constantly practised by some people, and by Russian partisans most of all, the most vague gene- ralities are relied on for the purpose of influencing English judg- ment. But English judgment will not be so influenced. The writer who has obtained admittance into the columns of our con- temporary, making them serve his partisan purposes contrary to the general character and object of the journal in question, does not, and does not because he cannot, state one single act in which the Turkish G- overnment has broken through the obli- gations it had incurred towards Servia. It cannot with equal truth be said that the Servian Government has not broken through its compact with Turkey. The other of our contemporaries contained the other day a long series of suggestive sentences strung together in the form of a leading article, the object of which was to show that Turkish finance was altogether in a hopeless condition, because the present Sultan is not quite so economical as was expected, and seems to have some of these military absurdities about him which are, of course, tolerated among the Christian potentates of Europe, but which the journal in question looks upon as utterly out of place with the Turk. It is much to be regretted no doubt that the Sultan should show this resemblance to certain Christian poten- tates, yet so far as he has yet shown it, he has not done so at the cost of the interests of the holders of Turkish Government Securities, whose dividends our contemporary is obliged to admithave always been duly paid, nor, like one Sovereign in particular, does he put into danger the dynasty itself by a fierce, insolent, and treacher- ous struggle with the will and wishes of the nation he governs. So that after all the selfwill of the Sultan does not seem to be so violent, offensive, or dangerous as that of some of his brother po- tentates. It might therefore have been wondered at that a jour- nal, which ought to have good means of knowledge, and ought to show good sense in the use of those means, should have made such an attack on the financial condition of a State which it is compelled to acknowledge has never yet defrauded or even de- layed its creditors. But whatever the wonder at this strange at- tack might have been, it was all removed by an article which ap- peared in the same journal on the Tuesday. This article appeared to have been written for the express purpose, if not of praising the financial condition of a country which has both delayed and defrauded its creditors, at least of recommending that country to the favourable notice of the British capitalist. Some " Greek" of the Stock Exchange must surely have concocted that Tuesday's article. There is an air of easy impertinence about it that Robert Macaire himself might have envied when he was coaxing the credulous to trust him with their money. The article begins thus :—" A country owing upwards of ten years' gross income, just emerging from the waves of a revolution, and barely provided with a king, and that king a minor, would not seem at first sight to be in a very good way to pay." " Greece is in the position of a man who not only cannot satisfy his creditors, but is unable to provide for his daily expenses." The natural conclusion from all this would seem to be that wise and prudent people would not readily lend their money to Greece. No such thing. Indeed, quite the reverse. For, says the writer, " yet in spite of all these things, the finances of the Greek kingdom are not supposed to be in any desperate condition. A little wholesome management will soon bring them round— and this is the opinion not of careless or indifferent spectators, but of unpaid and uneasy creditors, men with a real and serious stakein the question at issue.'' And he suggests a tossing about of liabilities such as a railway board could easily effect. He is plainly an ad- mirer of the manner in which Hudson " made things plea- sant" to his befooled shareholders, and counsels an imitation of it. Are these " unpaid and uneasy creditors'' the men who have been for so many years kept out of their money ? It is likely. If so, and others they can hardly be, since Greece has no creditors but what are uneasy, then the object of the article is clear. It must have been produced by a fox that had lost his tail. We all re- member how earnest that fox was to persuade all other foxes to have their tails cut off. He was energetic enough, when the only result of his persuasions could have been to reduce them to the same tailless plight with himself. But what would have been the force of his eloquence if by persuading them to lose their tails he could have got back his own ? Our loan- suggesting fox plainly considers this tail restoration possible. Get fresh creditors to put themselves in the place of the old ones, to advance fresh money at this moment, and then those who advanced it before may be satisfied. Nothing can be plainer. The scheme is simple. Are there people'so simple as to be deluded by it? Are there any who would thus take from Peter that Paul may be paid, and con sent to become the Peter that they may submit to the operation \ Greece has not yet got a settled Government; when it has, if it sets to work in a right way, it will rather try to establish its credit than to ask for fresh loans. That credit, shaken to its centre by the frauds of the Otho Government, requires something more honourable than a re- appearance with a begging- box on the Exchanges of Europe. We have great hopes that Greece pos- sesses the men that can appreciate the task which is before them, and will have firmness enough to attempt its accomplishment. But it is impossible to rank the writer ef the article amongst the number. The Greeks ought to diminish their expenses rather than to try to raise fresh loans. If the country is to start on a new career, it had better not start with a new millstone round its neck. And, since the extravagance and folly of its past administrations have prevented it from doing justice to its early creditors ( to say FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. Admiral Jurien de la Graviere has been recalled from Mexico. The importance of the French naval forces in the Mexican waters is, it is officially said, no longer such as to warrant the presence of an officer of that rank. La Nation says :—" France, England, and Austria have come to an understanding, and sent separately to St Petersburg notes identical in sense." The same journal adds:—" The powers have in their notes carefully avoided any- thing resembling pressure, leaving it to the Czar to take the initiative in the measures calculated definitely to put an end to the periodical risings so disquieting for Europe and so disastrous for Russia." If se they will be, as before, treated with outward courtesy and real contempt. PORTUGAL. The Duke de Louie, in reply to a question put to him in a recent sitting of the Cortes, said that " the Government had the inten- tion to represent to Russia, that after giving an ample amnesty to all the persons compromised by the recent events, it is necessary that the political rights promised to the Poles by the Treaty of Vienna be re- established." The Cortes afterwards voted a motion of sympathy with Poland. RUSSIA. The nobility of St Petersburg have, in a meeting, unani- mously voted an address to the Emperor, expressing their devo- tion to His Majesty, and their painful indignation at the preten- sions put forward to Russian territory [ by whom], and promising not to shrink before any sacrifice to preserve the integrity of the empire. POLAND, A letter, said to deserve the most implicit reliance, describes the atrocities commanded by the Archduke Constantine, and states: —" Le Comte de Korff blew out his brains at Ogrodowice rather than obey the Russian order of utterly levelling that town to the ground. The chateau of Count W& jciechowski was entirely de- molished by a continued cannonade from a Russian detachment. The father was severely wounded, and the son, a student of the university of Grignon, was killed. At Ajiou the curate of the village was tied to a horse's tail, and dragged along until death took place. Eight insurgents were treated in a similar manner at Kielle. All the wounded were destroyed, and the eyes of some of them were torn out before they were killed." The Polish patriots are beginning to be of opinion that the pretended sympathy © f Austria is likely to be as injurious to them as the open hostility of Prussia. The Cracow police are very strict in watching the insurgents, of whom it is said more than 400 have been disarmed and arrested. The Czas of the 2d says:—" Many of the hotels at Cracow were invaded yesterday morning by police agents, and several foreigners, not provided with proper papers, arrested. At the Warsaw Hotel, the police found six young men; one of them having attempted to run off, a soldier fired at him, but fortunately without doing any injury. In the church of St Peter two police agents entered at the moment the sacrament was being administered, their ob- ject being to arrest a young man who had taken refuge in the building. They seized on him in the vestry and knocked him down by blows with the butt ends of their muskets. The persons who witnessed those scenes have made a complaint to the com- mandant.'' The Russians continue to kill all the prisoners that fall into their hands. Thus after the battle of Slesin, when the Poles retired on hearing that the Russians had received reinforce- ments, the latter rushed into the Polish camp and killed all the wounded they found there. The same was the case after one of Cieszkowski's battles on the 28th at Radoszewice, near Wielue. How far the Government is responsible for these barbarities man be learnt from the following incident:— On the 12th March somy Cossacks escorted to Modlin a body of prisoners taken by them chiefly in private houses and on the roads. On arriving at Modlin the commandant, General Hannseman, abused the Cossacks for troubling him with prisoners instead of killing and burying them themselves, SWEDEN. An English ship, the Ward Jackson, belonging to the Hartle- pool Steam Navigation Company, has sought refuge at Malmo. There are 190 Poles, Frenchmen, Hungarians, and Italians, under the command of Colonel Lapinsty, on board, completely armed for an expedition in support of the Polish insurrection, and the ship is loaded with arms and ammunition. The expedition has been sent out at the expense of the Polish National Government, and not, as has been stated, by a committee of ladies in London. The reason why the ship has sought the port is the presence of Russian cruisers, of which the Baltic has been full since the ice left the Bay of Reval. One is said to be at Copenhagen, another off Ystad at present. The English captain, therefore, remained off Helsingborg for three days; then went to Copenhagen, where he and the crew left the ship, which was then taken to Malmo by a Danish crew, in order to seek refuge from an expected Russian corvette. DENMARK. The Dagblad, in its review of the week, publishes an article hos- tile to the candidature of Prince Wilhelm, and says that: —" The conditions under which the Greek crown is to be accepted are: The guarantie of the independence of Denmark by the great powers; assistance to maintain order in the monarchy for that purpose; renewal of the guaranties for the possession of Schles- wig by Denmark, as obtained in 1720; and the neutrality of Hol- stein.'' The Times of Friday flatly denies this statement. These conditions are not likely to be agreed to, and so, if the throne of Greece is not to be filled till they are accepted, it will be vacant for a long time. TURKEY. The Sultan has gone on a visit to Egypt. Omar Pasha, the Commander- in- Chief of the army, has provisionally assumed the duties of Minister of War, that Minister being with the Sultan. The army has been divided into six corps, the first of which, hitherto stationed at Constantinople, will be transferred to Schumla, under the command of Abdul Kerim Pasha. AMERICA. The present Federal force on the Yazoo River is considered in- sufficient for the reduction of Fort Pemberton. The Federals have cut the levees on the Yazoo River, which it was thought would drown the Confederates out. The river is falling at Vieksburg, and the fears entertained of an overflow of the Federal camping ground have subsided. There is skirmishing along the whole front of the Federal army at Murfreesboro'. The Confederates have crossed the Cumberland River, and captured Danville, Ken- tucky. It is officially reported from Washington that Commo- dore Farragut's flagship Hartford alone passed the Port Hudson batteries. The other Federal vessels were driven back. The Hartford was at Warrenton, twelve miles south of Vieksburg. Commdore Farragut's secretary had left to communicate with Admiral Porter at Vicksburg. It is officially reported that Ad- miral Porter's fleet of five iron- clads had passed through Deer Creek, and doubtless had reached Yazoo River. The President has, it is said, definitively refused to issue letters of marque. DREADFUL BOILER EXPLOSION NEAR GLASGOW.— At an early hour on Wednesday morning, April 8, a terrific boiler explosion, resulting in serious loss of life, occurredatthe Mossend Ironworks, near Holytown, a station on the Caledonian Railway, about 13 miles from Glasgow. The works in question, which are the pro- perty of the Mossend Iron Company, cover nine or ten acres of ground, and comprise several large sheds occupied by forges, to- gether with an extensive rolling mill. The machinery in these two departments was driven by separate engines, these again having each its own set of boilers, and it was to the boilers con- nected with the rolling mill that the accident occurred, which it is now our painful duty to record. These boilers were five in number, and were placed side by side on a substantial foundation of brick, their ends pointing toward the north and south. They were all 25 feet in length, and four of them, which were egg- end boilers, were 5 feet in diameter, while the fifth, a flue- boiler, had a width of 6 feet. The fire- hole extended along the south ends of the boilers. Beyond this is a tramway, on which some coal- laden trucks were standing at the time of the accident, and south of this again stands the rolling mill. On the west side of the boilers, at a distance of abont 20 yards, are the forges, and on the east side, about double the distance off, is an engineer's shop. The chimney which carried off the smoke from the furnaces stands on the north- west corner of the square site which the boilers occupied. At the time of the explosion there were 300 men at work. Assist- ance was instantly given, and on examining the boilers one with both ends blown out lay along the tramway to the south of the firehole, where it had thrown down the chimneys of two of the rolling mill furnaces ; the greater part of another lay a little far- ther to the south, among the ruins of the rolling mill sheds ; a third had been precipitated about 30 yards to the northward of its bed, where it lay in the shape of a huge spiral riband, while the remaining two had been hurled northwards quite out of the works, and alighted in a field at a distance of about 250 yards. Besides these ponderous masses, domes, ends, and other frag- ments of boilers had been thrown to great distances both to the north and south. One large piece, for instance, weighing about tw ® tons, had flown across the turnpike road on the south side of the works, and alighted in a field at 300 yards' distance. Of the persons employed in the neighbourhood of the boilers seven were either killed on the spot or so severely injured that they did not long survive the accident, while several others were more or less hurt. The following is a list of the killed:— Joseph Swift, leaves widow and ten children ; James Mulhecom, widow and two chil- dren; John Trueman, fireman, widow and three children; Charles Carrol, boy; William Douglas, only support of a widewed mother; John Duncan; and Peter Tracy, newly married. The following received considerable injuries:— Henry Leadbetter, James Berry, Bernard Clinton, John Haney, boy; John Oaks, boy; and Titus Lowe, young lad. The cause of the accident has of course been a fruitful theme of speculation. The prevailing opinion seems to be that the boilers had been allowed to get over- heated, and that while they were in that state the fireman, True- man, incautiously turned on the supply of water. In confirma- tion of this it is alleged that the valves which have been found were open, and that several of the boiler- plates show unmistak- able indications of overheating. AQUATIC REGISTER.

COWES, APRIL 1.— The first three months of the new year has glided away, and we are warned that the yachting season is drawing near. The last two months have been as genial in this Southern Madeira as the average of its summer months, which has enabled the yacht painters and decorators to go to work in earnest, and the yacht skippers to overhaul their respective craft and get ready for the command to fit out. If the yachting season depended wholly on the weather, many of the yachts ere this would have been in commission; but there is a season for all things, and it is not until April has somewhat advanced that we find any material movement among the squadron's fleet, unless it be with those owners whose yachts also fly the royal blue. We are assured that there will be a reaction this year among the yachts, and that the ensuing regattas of the Solent will be of a high order. The gloom which hovered over the nation in 1862 is in one sense of the word wearing away, and nothing could excel the manifestations of joy which prevailed on the return to Osborne of the Prince of Wales and his bride. On that memorable day his royal highness signified by letter to the noble Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron ( the Earl of Wilton) his gracious in- tention of becoming a patron of the squadron, in the place of his lamented father, the Prince Consort, and it is whispered that his royal highness will give a cup to be sailed for at the RY. S. Regatta. Throughout the winter there has been abundance of work going on in the various yacht- building establishments. Several keels have been laid down during the fall of the year, and the stately craft have since grown into existence, while others have been re- vised, altered, and lengthened. Commencing with Bast Cowes, Mr Samuel White ( son of the celebrated builder at West Cowes) presents us with a splendid schooner of 268 tons, built by him for Mr John Nay I or, late owner of the Hornet. She is to be called the Sabrina, and was launched on Wednesday, the 8th inst. She is constructed on the diagonal principle, which gives almost as great a capacity as is obtained in iron vessels of similar magnitude. Her dimensions are as follows:— Length of keel for tonnage, 105ft; length over all, 130ft; breadth, 23ft 6in; depth, 12ft 6in; draft of water aft, 13ft; forward, lift. Her internal accommodations are of a first- rate order, and the fitments very chaste in mahogany, oak, and birdseye maple. Her sails are by Ratsey. She is to be commanded by Mr Brown, the former master of the Hornet. In the same yard is hauled up the Osprey ( Lord Burleigh); she has received topgallant bulwarks, and a thorough overhaul this winter. Also the Oithona ( G. Salt); she has had new bulwarks, new masts, and a general outfit. Both are refitting, and will shortly go afloat. The Glance is hauled up in the same establishment, but we understand she is for sale; her owner, Mr Duncan, is hav- ing an iron yacht constructed on the Itchen, Mr Samuel White is about to lay down the keel of a new schooner on the Sabrina's slip way, for Colonel Clifton, late owner of the Derwent. She is to be ready by September 1st for an oversea winter cruise. At Mr Ratsey's yard, East Cowes ( late that of Spencer and Barnes) con- siderable work has been proceeded with since the fall. The schooner Zoraide, Mr Pawson, was relaunched on the 19th ult, having been lengthened six feet in her after body; this has given her a cleaner run, and has greatly improved her appearance ; this alteration has increased her tonnage from 143 to 155 tons. She is almost a sister ship to the Duke of Leeds's Florence, 162 tons. The latter yacht has had her foremast brought further aft; with the exception of the detention consequent on the alteration this yacht has been underway all the winter. The yawl Plover, Col Henry Brown, has been newly coppered, refitted, and launched. The schooner Coquette, Colonel Armytage, is still under the car- penter's hands; she has had new decks, bulwarks, & c, also new masts, which are " frightful sticks.'' This yacht upon opening was found to be in as good condition as she was when first launched, years ago. We understand that Messrs Ratsey have sold the small cutter yacht of 45 tons, which was laid down and partially constructed by Spencer and Barnes, to Mr J. Whitaker. She is being completed by Ratsey, and is destined for the Mersey, to be launched next week. Those gentlemen have lengthened the schooner Urania, belonging to Mr W. Wise, 15 feet for- ward, and her new bow has considerably increased her capacity and appearance, and will no doubt prove to be a likely craft of her tonnage. The new schooner of 155 tons, building by Ratsey, at West Cowes, is in full frame, and being planked. She is for a Mons L. de Beauvau Cracn. Messrs Hansen produces a schooner of 178 tons, to be called the Tyne, built for G. R. Stephenson, the owner of the St Lawrence. Her dimensions are ;— Length, 104ft over all; breadth, 22ft 2jin ; depth, lift; draft of water, aft lift, forward 7| ft. She is at present on the patent slip fitting out, and will be officially launched and named in the course of a few days. Her sails are by Summers. She is a magnificent vessel, and her cabinet work, internal fit- tings, and general equipment speak favourably for her architect and builder, who has recently received from the owner an exqui- site piece of machinery bearing the following inscription on a brass plate :—" Presented to Mr Hansen by George Robert Ste- phenson as a mark of his approval of the workmanship in build- ing the yacht Tyne." The cutter Emmet, Captain Hay, is hauled up at Hansen's, and is being coppered and refitted. During the winter the Galatea has had her internal fittings remodelled. The screw schooner Firefly, Sir H. Oglander, Bart, is having a portion of her deck shifted, and will be hauled up on Hansen's slip about the 20th preparatory to a lengthened voyage ( report says) to the United States. Mr Holliday, of Kingston, on the Medina, is building a schooner of 67 tons for Welsh Thornton, of East Cowes, the late owner of the Lily of Devon ; she is in a forward state. The meeting of the Royal Yacht Squadron will take place in May, when it is expected that the orders to fit out will be general; meanwhile the squadron list will be revised. By the death of Sir G. E. Hamond, G. C. B., Admiral of the Fleet, that veteran yachtsman Mr Weld has obtained the seniority, and stands now No. 1 on the list. He and the present Earl of Orkney are the only two survivors who were at the first meeting of the formation of the club in 1815. LAUNCH OF A NEW YACHT. A very fine racing yacht was launched on Saturday, April 4, from the stocks of Fife, the celebrated Clyde yacht builder, at Fairlie, by Largs. She is 55 tons, Royal Thames Yacht Club measurement, draws 10 feet 6 inches aft, and 7 feet forward. She is called the Surf, and has been built to the order of Mr C. T. Couper, jun, of the Royal Northern Yacht Club, to replace the iEolus, now the property of Mr T. Houldsworth. T. Walker, formerly of the Mosquito, and late of the JSolus, well known in the yacht racing world, is to have charge of her. The new iron clipper of 45 tons, building for Mr A. Duncan, by the Millwall Ship- building Company, is nearly finished, and will be launched shortly. She will make her maiden essay at the Royal Thames Match in May; her lines were draughted by Hatcher of Southampton, and she is considered to be an improve- ment on the Phosphorus. J. Downs of Brightlingsea, who dis- tinguished himself in sailing the Glance, is to have charge of her. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. The adjourned meeting of the Royal Thames Yacht Club is ap- pointed for 8: 30 p. m. on Wednesday, April 15, at the club house, Albemarle- street, for the purpose of electing flag- officers, cup- bearer, auditors, and treasurer; also a general committee of man- agement, according to Rule 32. We hear of several yachts being fitted out, and the following, amongst others, are already afloat, viz :— Marina, J. C. Morice, arrived at Ramsgate last week from Boulogne, 38 hours; Avalanche, schooner, E. Johnson ; Amazon, H, F. Smith; Czarina, B. H. Hartley; Ethel, Capt P. A, Iromonger. ROYAL NORTHERN YACHT CLUB. The annual general meeting of this club was held in the Queen's Hotel, Glasgow, on Wednesday, April 1, when the balance- sheet and other statements of the past year's operations were laid before the meeting, and the following officers elected for the year :— Commodore, His Grace the Duke of Hamilton and Brandon; Vice- Commodore, D. Richardson, of Hartfield. The following stewards, who retired by rotation, were also re- elected:— A. A. Ranken, Robt. Aitken, and Wm. Houldsworth. The opening cruise of the season was fixed to take place on the 21st of May, to last for three or four days. Yachts to rendezvous at Gourock Bay, and to sail out in fleet. The regatta for this year was ; also arranged to come off at Hunter's Quay, near Dunoon, on July 7 and 8, when it is expected there will be a numerous turn out of I yachts. The Ylce- Commodore intimated Ms intention of pre- senting a £ 100 cup to be run for by cutters, the club at the same time giving a similar prize for schooners. The following reso- lution regarding the shifting of ballast was proposed and unani- mously carried, viz:—" That no ballast or weight be shifted during tie match; that no water ballast be allowed; that no bags of shot or other ballast prepared or suitable for the purpose of shifting be allowed to be on board, and a declaration to that effect be signed by the owner or his representative previous to the match, and countersigned by the owner and his sailing- master before receiving the prize; that all ballast shall be under the platform or in lockers, and that the platform and lockers shall be examined by a person appointed for the occasion by the acting officer of the club; no more than the usual anchors or chains shall be allowed to be carried during the match.'' At the close of business the members as usual dined together, the Vice- Commo- dore in the chair, supported by Capt Farquhar, R. N., H. M. S. Hogue; M Bouillat, French Consul; Lieut Commander Hewson, H. M. S. Harpy, & c. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB. The opening dinner of the season and the meeting for April was held at the Rock Ferry Hotel, on the Cheshire side of the Mersey, on Monday, April 6. There was a good attendance of members, Commodore Graves presiding. Business matters commenced shortly after eight p. m. Ten members, including several yacht owners, were elected, and others proposed. The sailing com- mittee, the prize committee, the measuring officers, and the stewards were chosen for the year. The opening cruise for the yachts to sail in company was fixed to take place on Friday, May 22; the vessels to assemble off New Brighton at two p. m. By this fixture it is intended for the yachts which join in the cruise to proceed to Beaumaris, in the Menai Straits. The regatta sail- ing is already fixed to be held on June 26 and 27, for which the usual valuable prizes will be offered. There are several new yachts constructing for members of the club. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The monthly general meeting of the members of this club was held on Wednesday evening, April 8, at the Pier Hotel, Chelsea; Colonel Evelyn, the Commodore, in the chair, faced by Mr W. H. Royston. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, and Messrs J. Inman, Stock Exchange; C. S. Varley, 88A, Oakley- street, Chelsea; and T. Vaughan, Cleveland Lodge, Middlesborough- on- Tees, elected members, the Chairman called attention to the opening trip on Saturday, April 18, and hoped that there would be a large muster of both yachts and members on the occasion. He regretted that his yacht would not be afloat, as his regimental duties had prevented him getting her in trim.— The Vice- Commodore, Mr Pick, after also speaking of the opening trip, said he had a more important duty to fulfil, which was to announce to them the result of the sailing com- mittee's deliberations as to the matches of the season. Mr Pick then read the following sailing programme:— FIRST MATCH, TUESDAY, MAY 12.— Course from North Wool- wich to Rosherville and back to Erith. Prizes— First boat 12gs, second 6gs provided four boats start; in the event of only three starting the second prize will be withheld. Entries to close on Wednesday, May 6, at the club house. Yachts not already mea- sured to be at North Woolwich on the morning of the match ; vessels to be at their stations at 12: 30 and start at one o'clock. SECOND MATCH, FRIDAY, JULY 10.— Arrangements to be made hereafter. The above having been moved by Mr Pick and seconded by Mr Harris, was carried unanimously, and the following list of stewards appointed for the steamboats to accompany the races, viz:— The officers, and Messrs Brittan, Boggett, Charlwood, Farmer, Fielder, Guiilaume, Harris, Keen, Limbert, Light, Mason, Morgan, Oriel, Powell, Parsley, Royston, G.[ B. Smith, A. Thorn, and Wharton, with power to add. The steamboat for the first match leaves Hungerford at 11, and London Bridge at 11: 30. In the course of the evening Mr G. W. 8. Jago, who had, on the question of the confirmation of the minutes, opposed the confirma- tion of that part containing the vote of censure upon himself, gave notice of motion for discussion at the next meeting, that the resolution carried at the March meeting be rescinded, being, in his opinion, most personal and libellous. SONS OF THE THAMES REGATTA, This regatta is fixed for Wednesday, the 3d of June. During the two years it has already existed it has conferred great benefits on young watermen willing to contend for the honour of their calling, by distributing last year over £ 160 amongst 64 out of the 114 competitors ; thus enabling these young men ( of whom the senior class is not over 23 and the junior 17 years of age) to obtain sums which contribute materially to their success in life, and we venture to hope that amateurs will be ready with assistance to enable the promoters to confer equal benefits this year. We un- derstand that the liberality of the subscriptions in 1861 sufficed for that year and 1862, but are not sufficient for the present one without further aid, and that Mr Herbert H. Playford, of High- street, Putney, will give all necessary information and receive contributions. The prizes will be for four- oars £ 67 10s for seniors, and £ 3010s for juniors; pairs £ 22 and £ 17; and scullers £ 15 10s and £ 12. LONDON AMATEUR ROWING CLUB. The monthly meeting of this club took place on Thursday, April 2, at the club house, Union Hotel, Air- street, Regent- street, the Deputy- Captain in the chair. The minutes of the last meet- ing having been read and confirmed, it was carried that dressing and club rooms be engaged at the Duke's Head, Putney, the rooms to be ready on the opening day, Saturday, April 18.— It was moved by the hon sec, seconded by Mi' G. Flaxman, and car- ried, that any gentleman having resigned the club may be eligible for re- election without the payment of the entrance fee. The entry paper for the first race of the season, in Pair- oared Gigs, on May 9, was placed on the table, and several good names en- tered.— The chairman called the attention of the members present to the opening day, on April 18, and urged upon them the neces- sity of being present in full force at the club house, Duke's Head, Putney, at two o'clock.— In the course of the evening Messrs Chas. A. Rose, A. P. Pike, Chas. Arkill, and A. H. Taylor were elected members of the club; and Messrs J. Becker, Ciiarlotte- street, Fitzroy- square ; and W. L.

The final deposit in this match (£ 50 a side) was duly staked on Thursday evening, April 9, in the presence of a larger concourse of rowing men and patrons of aquatics than we have seen for some years, the faces of many present reminding one of old times, when they were the objects of interest instead of spectators. The de- posit took place at Mr Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes, and there could not have been less than one hundred present, amongst whom we noticed Chambers, Everson, Kelly, John Phelps, Joseph Wise, Green ( the Australian Champion), Edwin Winship, Harry Clasper, Robert Newell, Drewitt, T. Hoare, E. May, Biffen, Henry Salter, G. Williams, and Messrs Robert Clayton, Hipkins, Boddy, Howell, Wilkinson, Brickwood, Farley, Wall, Crewe, & c. Mr Pankhurst, of the Bull's Head, Barnes, was in the chair, and the £ 100, the joint deposit of the two men, was duly paid into his hands. Chambers's £ 20 for expenses was then de- posited, and as the chairman handed the amount to him a mur- mur of dissent ran round the room. The chairman then ad- dressed a few words to the meeting in respect to the forthcoming race, and, quoting Harry Clasper as an example for all rising watermen, hoped that if Everson succeeded in winning this race, he would be as great a credit to the rowing world as Clasper had ever been. He then expressed a hope that the steamers would not behave as they had done on the last race for the championship, but would remain well behind the men all the way, and give each a fair chance. Betting was then talked about, but nothing was done, the Londoners standing out for odds, the price asked being 6 and 7 to 4, while Chambers's party declined to lay more than guineas to pounds. The race takes place on Tuesday, April 14th, from Putney to Mortlake, starting at half- past eleven. The men are to be stationed 25 yards apart, and to toss for choice of place on the morning of the race. The umpires are to meet at Mr Laidlaw's, New Inn, Old Bailey, at noon, on Monday, April 13, to appoint a referee. About 12 or 14 steamboats have been engaged to accompany the race, leaving London Bridge at 9: 30 or 10 a. m. Chambers has chartered the River Queen, and Everson's party the Venus and Citizen J.

YACHTING IN FRANCE.— The French yachting season may be said, to have commenced on Sunday, March 29, with. a match at Argenteuil, when the following started with a fresh N. W. breeze: — Ariel, Parisien, Leman ( from Rouen), Tintamarre, Temps, Petrel, Meduse. The course was three times round the basin, or about 11 j miles. The freshness of the breeze was favourable to the larger yachts, and the Ariel, which is 32| ft in length, took the lead at first. She was overhauled, however, by the Temps, which is rather more than 29ft in length, and which was not afterwards distanced; the others passed and repassed each other, with the exception of the Tintamarre, which did not complete her second round, while the Meduse failed to go over the course once. The yachts started at 1: 15, and were timed at the close as fol- lows:— Temps 2: 45: 0, Ariel 2: 46- 30, Parisien 2: 50: 0, Leman 2: 50: 30, Petrel 2: 55: 0. Several new yachts are being constructed, or have been completed, at Paris and Rouen. We may mention among these the Alliance for M Dassy, and the Etincelle for M Rey; both these are 25 feet in length. MM Picot Fils have on hand at Asniferes a yacht 36ft 8in long; and at Rouen a still larger yacht, 40 feet in length, is being constructed by M Lesueur, who recently launched a clipper yacht of 12 tons. Marseilles Regattas have been fixed for Monday, May 31, and Satur- day, Sept 6. The success of two yachts, the Rosita in the 25 feet class, and the Amelia in the 20 feet class, have led to the construction of several new yachts, which have either been launched or are still in the yards at Marseilles and Ciotat. The value of the prizes to be given at the Marseilles Regattas will not be below the amount awarded last year (£ 400). YACHTING IN THE NORTH.— The cutter yacht Mollis, Mr T. Holds worth, has been fitted out in Victoria harbour, Greenock; her lower mast has been shortened considerably. The schooner Circe, also in Victoria harbour, has had two new masts stepped.

The schooner yacht St Ursula has sailed from the Clyde for Malta. Four yachts on the stocks in Mr Fyfe's yard, at Fairlie, will be launched this month. They comprise a 50- ton cutter for MrC. T. Couper; a schooner^ for Mr Stirling, of Glas- gow; a 15- ton cutter for Mr Abercrombie, of Glasgow; and a 15- ton cutter for Mr Shaw, of Largs.

SUPPLEMENT TO BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. On SUNDAY NEXT, a GRATUITOUS SUP- PLEMENT wiU be published with " Bell's Life in London." SPORTING CHRONICLE. [ LATEST EDITION.] THE TURF. Horses marked * are in the Derby, t in the Oaks, J in the Leger. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING. • If the opening meeting at head- quarters did not hold forth promise of many exciting contests, and the list in several instances exhibited unmistakable weakness so far as the quality of the competitors was concerned, there was yet sufficient attraction in some of the items to counterbalance to a certain extent the walks over or stakes " reduced to a match." And although we cannot but deplore the paucity of good horses, which leads to such results in some of the time- honoured events, it must yet be ad" milted that in more than one instance the contests were fraught with much prospective importance. Thus, for the Newmarket Handicap the merits of Lord Glasgow's favourite, the Young Mel- bourne colt, were to fee brought to the test, and the public were to judge for themselves how far he was worthy of the high repute he had enjoyed since his private trial, and whether he was worthy of the confidence that had been reposed in him since the said trial for the Derby. The Sale Stakes, too, promised to afford a further insight into the real merits of Dunkeld for the previous- named event, while the three year old Biennial, even after Blue Mantle and Taje had " paid," and the latter had been knocked out for the Derby, and the starting of Saccharometer was known to be most unlikely, was still endowed with no small amount of interest for the sake of other horses that have figured prominently or remotely in the Derby betting. And further on in the lift of the meeting the Derby Trial Stakes looked on paper" a host in itself, from the meeting of Buckstorie and Stradella, and likely to com- pensate, in part at least, for the falling off in the Column Stakes. The meeting of Buckstone and Zetland, too, for the Claret, was rather anxiously anticipated, though doubts were in the ascendant as to anything worthy of the St Leger winner being started to oppose him for the good old Port Stakes ; how far the doubts were justified the result will show. Another matter, too, connected with the meeting created no small amount of interest, we allude to Admiral Rous's motion respecting the starting ; for the question has become of so much vital import- ance as far as the real interests of the Turf are concerned, to say nothing of its enjoyment, that the public could not but re- echo the appeal made in our columns week by week ever since the commencement of the present season for some vigorous and deci- sive movement on the part of " the authorities" to check the plague and enforce obedience. 80 far as active speculation was concerned it is almost super- fluous to say the betting prior to the meeting had been confined to the Newmarket Handicap, for which, as already noted, Lord Glasgow's colt was the previous week installed the reigning favourite, only two others in fact being really backed in good earnest on the eve of the meeting— Colleen Rhue, who since last Christmas has been at Lewes under Drewitt's care, and Bedouin. Bajond stating that the usual excellent special train was de- spatched fratn Shoreditch on Sunday, there is nothing to note of the down journey, for nothing worth notice was done en route, and no attempt whatever was made at speculation in the town during the evening, everything in fact being remarkably quiet. On mustering at theRooms the following morning matters still re- mained tolerably quiescent, and a few desultory wagers were only laid before proceeding to the Heath. Scarcely anything was mentioned, or at all events invested on the Newmarket Handicap but the three favourites, who were backed against the field, and there was an evident desire to get on Sac- charometer, about whom 5 to 1 was booked several times for the Two Thousand, while offers were made to take two points less about Hospodar, and fifteen " fifties" were laid against Brick. Only one or two other quotable bets came under our notice ; for the Derby, 20 to 1 was taken about National Guard, and 22 to 1 about the Glenochty colt, while 15 to 1 was booked about Mr Ten Broeck's two for the City and Suburban. Premising that the weather on Monday was blustering, that the threatened rain kept off, and that by reason of its having " kept off' for some weeks, the Heath was much harder going than usual, we proceed to glance brief! j' at the few most important events set down for decision on the very meagre- looking card. The Craven Plate, across the flat, opened the doings at two o'clock, the only absentees of the entered ten being Stradella, reserved for more important events, and General Hess. Entered to be sold for 100 sovs, and conse- quently getting a 71b allowance, Camperdown was made the favour- ite, but was never really in the race, which from the Abingdon mile bottom resolved itself into a match with Romanoff and Hyperm- nestra, the Muscovite winning by an easy neck from the filly, who received a 71b selling allowance. The winner, who made his first appearance to- day, never having ran as a two year old, is own brother to I vanhoff. His chance was b ut lightly esteemed in the Ring, as Lord Stamford only stood him for " a tenner." To this long spin succeeded the Handicap Plate over the 1'. Y. C., which was so far considered a good thing for Rest, lately fancied for the Spencer Plate, that in a field of eighteen 4 to 1 was taken freely about her, and 7 to 1 for a long time offered, " bar one," although a shade less odds was afterwards taken about Libellous. The latter, how- ever, striking his plate at starting, and nearly twisting it off, was unable to take any part in the race, and the favourite pulled her backers through by a clever neck from Lord William Powlett's recently- named Eleanor, by Kingston out of Kate. In the Sweep- stakes next brought to issue, over the same course, the truth of the running at Northampton in the Whittlebury Stakes with Fan- tastic and Livingstone was confirmed by the easy victory of the former, who had it all his own way from " end to end.'' The re- sult, as a matter of course, led to his being again mentioned in connection with the Derby, but his win did not make him a bet- ter favourite, for after 1,000 to 15 had been taken about him, those odds were currently offered, whereas at Northampton he was backed at 50 to 1. Sgark, who opened the favourite for the Handicap Sweepstakes, Ditch Mile, was finally sup- planted by Bandage. Spark was the first put out of the contest, Bandage was beaten at the cords, and Libellous with his plate righted recompensed his party by bowling over Cellarius very cleverly. The " dark" Jerry, who has at times been backed at long shots for the Derby, and Water Kelpie, who last year showed the most moderate form, alone contested the Sweep- stakes of 50 sovs, Rowley Mile, Jerry— on whom as much as 2 to 1 and 7 to 4 was at first laid— opening the favourite, but subse- quently the tables were turned, and the filly started the favourite with the odds of 5 to 4 on her, and, running away from the colt, beat him by some twenty lengths, and thus effectually settled his Derby pretensions. Mr Saxon afterwards became the pur- chaser of the filly. The Beau being non est, and Avenger not pulled out, the next Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each went away in a walk over for Baron Rothschild's Giraffe colt, and Scamander having walked over for the once famous Riddlesworth Stakes— re- duced to a match with the former and Thais, the latter of whom has for some time been out of training— the Sweepstakes of 100 sovs each was also plaeed to Baron Rothschild's account, by the elected favourite, King of the Yale, beating Oscarand Gladstone. The running of Beauvale in the Handicap Sweepstakes was not calculated to improve the position of his stable companion, the Physalis colt, for the Newmarket Handicap, and 7 to 2 was very currently offered against him, while 4 to 1 was only obtainable about Bedouin, the only others mentioned in our hearing on the course being Colleen Rhue, about whom 6 to 1 was offered, and Man at Arms, whom no one would have at 12 to 1. Jerry's run- ning, as already intimated, had quite sauffed out his Derby pre- tensions, and Taje— struck out of the Triennial in the course of the day— also joined the retired list, the popular belief being that he had broken down, " or quite as bad.'' After all, however, the betting during the afternoon was more especially noticeable for the support once more awarded to Saccharometer for the Two Thousand, who at 9 to 2 was backed repeatedly; 12 to 1 was offered against Blue Mantle, two points more against Brick, and Melrose was somewhat under suspicion at 100 to 6 ( offered). The racing having terminated rather early, speculation was pursued at the Subscription Room before dinner, when as much as 4 to 1 was betted against Lord Glasgow's colt for the Newmarket Handi- cap, and half a point more taken " kindly" about Bedouin. Adventurer was supported for the City and Suburban at 10 to 1 and Citadel for the Metropolitan at 25 to 1. With the exception of some money going on Newsmonger for the Two Thousand at 25 to 1 the movements thereon up to six o'clock in nowise differed from those on the Heath. Saccharometer was invested on, though to no very great amount, at 10 to 1 for the Derby ; 1,000 to 15 was laid against the Physalis colt; 6,000 to 600 was booked about Avondale and 1,000 to 10 about Newsmonger. All sorts of prices were laid against Taje from 1,000 to 10 to 1,000 to 3. We had al- most forgotten to note that the attendance on the Heath was scarcely up to the average.

The Marsyas colt bore his colours in the van, his immediate attendants being Romanoff and Hypermnestra; the favourite and the Belle of Yorkshire head- ing the others, of whom the Black Swan colt soon figured in the rear. Rising the Bushes Hill the leader gave way, leaving Romanoff and Hypermnestra in advance, while Camperdown in the next few strides ran into third place, but dropped back again in the Abingdon mile bettom. The issue from thence was entirely confined to Romanoff and Lord Coventry's filly, of whom the former retained the best of it and won easily by a neck ; very bad third, the others, with the exception of the Black Swan filly, who was tailed off a long way, were pulled up on the post.

The lot were despatched from the post on very fair terms, Oberon being the first to show in ad- vance, but in a brief space the running was taken up by Rest, to whom succeeded Eleanor, Gem of the Sea, Oberon, and Welland, the latter lying on the lower ground, Gemma being wide on the whip hand, Stockowner, and Prince Lee Boo next. They ran thus with scarcely any perceptible change for the first quarter of a mile, when Rest took a more decided lead, with Lord William Powlett's filly in waiting, Stockowner running on the outside, and Oberon lying well up with the latter. The favourite held her own to the end, and stalled off the final effort of Eleanor by an easy neck; Stockowner was beaten the same from the second, and Oberon finished half a length behind Stockowner, Gemma, running close under the judge's chair, was a good fifth; Anaticu- lus and Edgeworth Bess headed the others, at the tail of which were Blacklock and Revolt. Libellous jumped round at starting, and striking one of his plates nearly twisted it off, and taking no part in the race cantered in by himself. A SWEEPSTAKES of 25 sovs each, for three year olds; colts 8st 101b, fillies and geldings 8st 71b ; maidens at starting allowed 71b ; T. Y. C. ( 5fur 140yds); 7 subs. • Mr G.

After some delay, caused by the restiveness of Touch- and- go, the fa- vourite cut out the work at a merry pace, followed by Living- stone on the whip hand, and maintaining his lead undisturbed throughout won easily by two lengths ; bad third. A HANDICAP of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, for three year olds and up- wards ; D. M. ( 7fur 210yds); 7 subs. Mr Hodgman's Libellous, by The Libel, 6 yrs, Sst 121b G.

Daley 6 Betting: 3 to 1 agst Bandage, 7 to 2 ( at first 5 to 2) agst Spark, 4 to 1 agst Libellous, and 6 to 1 each agst Cellarius and Douche. Spark was first oft', but very soon resigned the lead to Bandage, on whom the Baron's colt waited for about half a mile, when he " cut it" altogether, and Cellarius and Douche thereupon became the im- mediate attendants of the leader. Libellous lying by himself to the left. After entering the cords, Bandage gave way to Cellarius, and midway Fordham brought up the top weight, and de- priving Cellarius of the lead in the last few strides won very cleverly by three quarters of a length ; Bandage was beaten four lengths from the second, Douche close up with the third. A SWEEPSTAKES of 50 sovs each, h ft, for three year olds ; colts 8st 71b, fillies 8st 41b; 4lb allowed; R. M. ( lm 17yds) ; 4 subs, t Mr C. Alexander's ch f Water Kelpie, by Robert de Gorham, 8st E.

They ran in close company about half way, Water Kelpie always having the best of it, and quitting Jerry in the dip, she xan home an easy winner by twenty lengths. A SWEEPSTAKES of 50 sovs each, h ft, for three year olds; colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st 51b, which never won before the time of closing this stake; starters twice before the time of closing allowed 41b; R.

The King made play, having Gladstone on the whip hand in attendance upon him for the first half mile, when Oscar took second place, but failed in his effort to depose the King of the Vale, who wen easily by three- quarters of a length ; bad third. The FORTY- NINTH RIDDLESWORTH STAKES ( reduced to a match) of 200 sovs each, h ft, for three year olds; colts 8st 71b, fillies 8st4lb; 31b and 51ballowed; Ab. M.

Rayner's Exotic, 2 yrs paid THE SUBSCRIPTION ROOM AT NIGHT. The proceedings were far from animated, the attendance being very limited. The Newmarket Handicap formed the principal medium for speculation throughout the evening, but no change took place in the wagering on that event. Lord Glasgow's colt and Bedouin were both in great force, the former at first heading Bedouin, as little as 100 to 30 being booked about him during the early portion of the evening. A demonstration, however, on behalf of Mr Ten Broeck's crack later caused the colt " without a name'' to recede to 7 to 2, and at the close of the proceedings it would have been difficult to define which was the better favourite, 4 to 1 being freely taken about either. Six " ponies" to four, and 30 to 20 " three times" were laid on the pair agst the field. Collfeen Rhue was likewise firm at 6 to 1, and would have received substantial support at a point beyond those odds. Scarcely anything else was mentioned. Fairwater found a few friends at 100 to 8, a price that went begging about Paste and Man at Arms. For the City and Suburban 9 to 1 and subse- quently 10 to 1 was laid against Adventurer, and 25 to 1 agst New- church. The Two Thousand was productive of some spirited betting, the favourite remaining firm at 5 to 2, while the friends of Saccharometer were unusually " sweet" on him, 4 to 1 being taken to a considerable amount. Brick was backed at 13 to 1, the layer declining to advance a point; and Blue Mantle would likewise have received some substantial support at a point beyond the quoted odds. Newsmonger, who only made his debut in the market in the City the previous Saturday, was in very great favour, being invested on at 25 to 1 for a " stake." For the Derby the favourite was not touched upon at 6 to 1, but would have been had a point more been obtainable. 1,000 to 40 was laid both agst Automaton and the Glenochty colt, and 100 to 1 was offered agst any of Lord Stamford's " bar one."— 1,000 to 30 was booked aboutRapid Rhone, 2,000 to 25 and afterwards 1,000 to 15 ( several times) about Fantastic, the latter odds being offered agst the Physalis colt.

The attractions of the Newmarket Handicap and the Triennial increased the attendance, which, coupled with the circumstances of its being " Market Day,'' imparted a much more lively aspect to the town and affairs in general. Nothing, however, very im- portant took place at the Rooms, where settling on the events of the previous day occupied the lion's share of attention. For the Handicap the Physalis colt was most decidedly a better favourite again than on the previous night, while Bedouin remained firm at 4 to 1, and Colleen Rhue steadily kept her ground. A decided disposition too was evinced to back Fairwater, and of the others inquired about Watchman was in as much request as anything. Of the seven items on the card, the proceed- ings, as on the previous day, being set to commence at two o'clock, one, the Tuesday Riddlesworth ( reduced to a match), was void consequent on Thais, as already stated, being out of training, and Paris not being present to walk over. The opening scene, as on the preceding day, was across the flat, the item to be brought to issue being the Sale Stakes, for which Dunkeld, con- sequent on his running at Northampton, was so far in repute that 5 to 2 was laid on him, his only rivals being Gold Dust and Equinox. Gold Dust, who ran only twice last year, each time " not placed'' to Blue Mantle, proved, however, to- day far different tackle to the Golden Dust the favourite had to encounter in the Racing Stakes at the meeting just alluded to, for Gold Dust, who received a 91b allowance against the favourite's 61b allowance, beat him without an effort by a length, whereupon the defeated one " went away" to any price for either the Chester Cup or the Derby, for the former of which it is scarcely necessary to remind our readers he was installed first favourite after his Northampton victory over a mile. The opening event was succeeded by the Free Handicap Sweepstakes, over half a mile, and although only a quartette went to the post, upwards of half an hour was " cut to waste," as the phrase goes, before the said quartette could be got off by the starter; for in the first instance Titmouse broke away, then Good for Nothing dashed off " like mad," and tore across the Heath and up the hill to the turnpike- road before she could be stopped, and when the four at length were got together again Titmouse and Vigil— the latter anxious to get off— played such fantastic tricks that much more time was consumed in getting them away. The result was in favour of the selected Vigil, and the subsequent result was that the starter, Mr T. M'George, having reported T. French, the rider of the winner, and J. Grim- shaw, the rider of Titmouse, for misconduct at the post, the sen- tence was passed upon them that they are not allowed to ride again before the Monday after the First 8pring Meeting. There was but one opinion respecting the sentence, and the query on the principle of a well- known rule in arithmetic was propounded, " If, under circumstances, it takes three quar- ters of an hour to start four horses, how long will it take to start four- and- twenty ?'' Cerintha finally gave way in the betting to Bright Cloud for the Ditch Mile Sweepstakes, but the Cloud was obscured, and Sam Rogers secured his maiden win for Lord Stamford on the filly, beating the fancied one by a neck. In the ensuing Sweepstakes, Ditch Mile, Cassidia— who ran only once last year, swhen she beat Tornado and Fiancee in a half mile Sweepstakes at the Second October— was so much fancied that on the strength of the support awarded to her in the right quarter she started at 4 to 1 on her. It certainly looked all this and much more in the running, but she appeared to " stop to nothing" at the finish, and Wells, who had persevered on Sister to Wing— since named Crafton Lass— in the most deter- mined manner, beat the crack by an easy length, to the utter amazement of the backers of Lord Stamford's filly. The result of this race brought King of the Vale into notice for the Two Thousand, and he was backed at various prices from 50 to 1. The homely proverb " it never rains but it pours" was verified to- day with regard to Lord Stamford's luck, for Onesander, who per- formed only twice last year, winning once and being beaten on the other occasion by Hospodar, was not without cause deemed good enough to stand upon with some confidence for the Biennial Stakes, for which a dozen started. Of the lot coloured on the card the only absentee of any importance was Jarnicoton, but as it was generally understood he would not run his absence created no surprise. Newsmonger, who had been backed freely during the few previous days trod closely on the heels of the Grecian favourite, so closely in fact that in some parts of the ring Lord Coventry's colt had a shade the best of it. The hopes, however, for the backers of Onesander were doomed to overthrow, and the Two Thousand pretensions of Newsmonger were summarily disposed of, for The Ranger turned up the trump card, beating Gladstone by a neck, Escape, the stable companion of the latter, being third, only a neck off, while the favourite was a head only from Escape. The result was certainly a most unexpected one, for Gladstone, who the day before was a bad third to Oscar, who finished second to King of the Vale, now finished in advance of the far more esteemed and highly- tried Onesander— a result as inexplicable as one of " Dun- dreary's widdles," which " no fellow can find out." The issue of this event led to the further advance of King of the Vale for the Two Thousand, for, in consequence of Gladstone having been so easily beaten by him the day before, as little as 20 to 1 was taken. The winner we may note, who is own brother to Skirmisher, has been hitherto unknown to fame or racing records, for having been amiss almost from a yearling, and amiss when some eight months ago he was placed under William Goater's care, he appeared to day for the first time in public with a success as complete as the " racy'' novel of " Aurora Floyd.'' No fewer than eighteen contested the Newmarket Handicap, the last, though not the least, event of the day. Notwithstanding, however, the largeness of the field, very little change took place in the betting, the only real " comer" in addition to the then leading favourites being Fairwater, who was backed at 9 and 10 to 1 for some money. The result was disas- trous to the favourite, and afforded a further proof, if proof were needed, of the frequent fallacies of private trials, for the Physalis colt did not obtain a situation, and the second favourite ( Bedouin) won easily ; while the game Fairwater, with Sst 21b on her back, only finished a head from Watchman, who had been lying for- ward throughout. Brown Duchess, the Oaks victress of ' 61, broke down, and is since gone to the stud, where she should prove most valuable. Beyond the movements already alluded to, nothing worth quoting was done on future events before dinner, although Bedouin was inquired after in connection with the Metropolitan.

The favourite made play, with Gold Dust in waiting on the lower ground, and Equinox on the whip hand. Half way down the Bushes Hill Gold Dust deprived Dunkeld of the lead, and won easily by a length and a half; bad third. A FEEE HANDICAP of 25 sovs each, 10 ft, for four year olds and upwards; winners extra; last half of R. M. ; 7 subs. Mr Angell's Vigil, by Bucolic, 4 yrs. 6st 131b T.

Loates 4 Betting: 6 to 4 on Vigil, and 5 to 1 agst any other ( off). A long and tiresome delay took place, Titmouse in the first instance breaking away and running to the Bushes Hill, while Good for Nothing following suit, dashed past the weighing stand, and ran to the road, where she was at length stopped and led back. Tit- mouse, however, again broke away, and the favourite being troublesome, it was three quarters of an hour before the start was effected. When the flag at length fell, Vigil took the lead, with Queen Elizabeth in attendance, made all the running, and won by half a length; three lengths between the second and third; bad fourth. A SWEEPSTAKES of 50 sovs each, for three year olds: colta 8st 101b, fillies 8st 71b ; not engaged in the Two Thousand Guineas, Newmarket, or the One Thousand Guineas Stakes; D.

Prince Lee Boo got away with a clear lead, having his stable companion The Ranger and Onesander on the whip hand, and Brother to Morocco, Newchurch, Escape, and Sea King on the left, News- monger lying tolerably well up in the wake of the leader, suc- ceeded by Gladstone and Singapore. The Prince maintained his forward position to about half way up the hill, when he gave way, and for a brief space Lord Stamford's colours looked as formidable as anything, but in the next few strides Onesander was joined by The Ranger, and Mr Merry's pair; The Ranger in tbe centre having a decided advantage, and although close!}' pressed by Gladstone at the finish he won very cleverly by a neck. Escape was beaten the same distance from his stable companion, and Onesander finished a head only from Escape; Newchurch and Sea King— thelatteron the extreme left— were next, nearly abreast, close up, succeeded by Brother to Morocco and Newsmonger.

On settling into places Carisbrook showed in advance, with Attaman second and Watchman third, and soon the pace became pretty strong, the lot following the above trio being Colleen Rhue, Brother to Spring- bok, and Battery, while on the lower ground came the favourite, Man at Arms, Magnum Bonum, Gabrielle d'Estrees, and Bedouin, the hindmost lot, consisting of Brown Duchess, Fairwater, Paste, Cape Flyaway, and Equinox. Carisbrook held a clear lead on passing the new Stand, but gradually came back to his horses at the turn of the lands, and on rising the hill Brother to Springbok took his place in the van, but he soon died away and Attaman was left in command, his immediate attendant being Watchman. About a distance from home the leading two were joined by Fairwater, who had been gradually making way, while the Physalis colt, Carisbrook, Man at Arms and Bedouin— now im- proving his position— formed the lot succeeding. Man at Arms, however, soon dropped further astern, and Bedouin, following in the track of Attaman, took a prominent place in the centre of the course, and the former being next disposed of, Bedouin came away from the others about halfway up and ran home an easy winner by a length and a half; a head only separated Watchman from Fairwater; Attaman was a bad fourth, the Physalis Colt was fifth, Gabrielle d'Estrees sixth, and Carisbrook seventh; suc- ceeding these were Brother to Springbok, Man at Arms, and Colleen Rhue; Brown Duchess broke down. The TWENTY- SEVENTH TUESDAY RIDDLES WORTH STAKES ( re- duced to a match) of 200 sovs each, h ft, for the produceof mares covered in 1859, D. M., became void, a THE SUBSCRIPTION ROOMS AT NIGHT. The great event of the week having been decided, the attendance at the rooms was even smaller than that of the previous evening. " Talking" was the predominant feature, and beyond the support awarded, in one or two quarters, to Hospodar and Saccharometer for both the Two Thousand and Derby, the proceedings generally lacked interest. For the Two Thousand the French horse was almost collared by Saccharometer, the former being firm at 5 to 2, while 3 to 1 was several times booked about the latter; 600 to 500 and 500 to 400 were laid on the pair agst the field; 1,000 to 10 was once booked about Blue Mantle, but afterwards 12 to 1 was offered, '' bar two," and Brick was supported at 100 to 8. For the Derby, 100 to 15 was laid agst the favourite, but not more than 6 to 1 was obtainable at the close. As in the Two Thousand, Saccharometer and Hospodar were almost head and head, while an even " thou" was invested on Lord Strathmore's colt agst the latter. The only bet that came under our notice for the City and Suburban was 20 " ponies" about Gardener.

WEDNESDAY— The racing to- day, chiefly on account of the meeting of the Jockey Club in the afternoon, commenced an hour andahalf earlier, and the morning was occupied with settling accounts on the Newmarket Handicap and other events of the previous day. Bedouin was a bad horse for the Ring in general, having been so long and genuinely in the market, and his present as well as his past owner, Mr F. Swindells, among others, laid a tidy stake on him. The list comprised no fewer than ten items, al- though but little import attached to any of them, save the Derby Trial Stakes, and that only from the meeting of Stradella and Buck- stone, at the same difference of weight between them as in the Chester Cup. The following significant notice " to jockeys" ap- peared to- day at the head of the cards:—" By order of the stewards, jockeys are forbidden to interfere with the starter by calling to each other at the post. Any offending after this notice will be fined." The result of Admiral Rous's motion on the subject of starting and the rest of the business transacted subsequently at the meeting of the Jockey Club will be found in another column ; so, merely premising that the Admiral's motion was carried, with the addition of " a rider" still further confirmatory of his view*, and which we doubt not will effectually check the evil, we proceed to notice the sport, which commenced with the Free Half Mile Handicap Sweepstakes, for which Mrs Trimmer and Santhal were about equal favourites. Vic- tory was in favour of the latter, beating Lord Portsmouth's Ally— who would doubtless have been better served over a longer course— by a head. Of the trio that contested the Three Year Old Sweepstakes, Rowley Mile, Oscar was the favourite at evens, but Lord William Powlet's.; Vindex filly, who received^ 51b allow- ance, looked at one time very likely to upset calculations, but she ran somewhat unkindly, and Sam Rogers, by a splendid effort of jockeyship, was enabled to land Oscar victorious by a neck. Turcos, pulling all the way over Curacao, won the Column Stakes as he liked, Water Kelpie being the only other competitor. The Selling Sweepstakes went away in a walk over for Erytliia, and Sam Rogers, on the selected Inndlan, landed the colours of his first master, Mr J. H. C. Wyndham, in the Handicap Sweepstakes, ditch mile, having, however, nothing more formidable to beat than the pair of three year olds, Anaticulus and The Malster. Despite the running of Cassidia on the previous day, she was again backed in earnest for the T. Y. C. Sweepstakes, for three year olds, having to meet Amelia and Canace only, it being reasonably enough argued that from appearances the shorter course of to- day was more suited to her. She, however, cut a yet more inglorious figure, and Amelia ran home an easy winner by two lengths, the crack, who ran a perfect jade, being beaten alength from Canace. Forthe Subscription Plate, Fantastic looked good enough to lay 6 to 4 on although Argonaut had many admirers, and to the surprise of the layers of odds, and the astonish- ment of the owner of the favourite more especially— who believed him the best horse in England over this particular course— he suffered easy defeat from Sir Joseph's horse, who, in fact, had him safe all the way. Necromancer had little difficulty in dis- posing of the pair opposed to him for the next T. Y. C. Sweep- stakes, and of the sixteen that ran for the Plate of 50 sovs, for two year olds, the talent were sagacious enough of the three that were really backed to include the first and third, although their posi- tions in the betting were reversed in the placing, for Whitefield— carrying no penalty for her previous success at Doncaster— finished third, a head only from Regina, who was beaten likewise a head from the winner, Clairvoyant, another of the " supported ones," and a daughter of De Clare out of Reveille's dam, in William Goater's stable. Adjourning from the flat to the " top of the town,'' the Derby Trial Stakes was next brought to issue, and although the starters comprised Stradella, Buckstone, Clarissimus, Dunkeld, St Alexis, and Feu de Joie, it was rightly esteemed virtually a match with the former two; and as Stradella, the winner of the last French Oaks, was re- ceiving just a stone from the winner of the English Oaks, it was small wonder that she should be more fancied than Buck- stone, who carried 9st, including a 41b penalty. As by the majority anticipated, the French mare proved the victress, making all her own running, and beating Buckstone by a length and a half, a performance that terminated the day's proceedings, just as a heavy shower— in place of the lighter ones that had fallen at intervals throughout the afternoon— was about to de- scend. The day's racing had little influence upon future events, with the exception of making Stradella a hot favourite for the Chester Cnp, the highest price obtainable about her after the race being 7 to 1, while 12 to 1 was offered against any other. Hospo- dar remained at 9 to 4 for the Two Thousand, and 300 to 90 was taken four times about Saccharometer; bar these two, 10 to 1 was offered, Brick being occasionally backed at the latter price. 8 to 1 was taken several times before dinner about Adventurer for the City and Suburban, and 6 to 1 was currently offered on the field for the Derby, while Hospodar, about whom 500 to 30 was taken f » r the Two Thousand and Derby, was backed for the latter event at 10 to 1. A FREE HANDICAP of 25 sovs each, 10 ft, for three year olds ; winners extra ; last half of R. M. ; 6 subs. * J Mr Ten Broeck's Santhal, by Longbow, 7st 121b. . G.

Barne's ch f by West Australian out of Para, Cat 91b.. 0 Betting : 5 to 2 each agst Santhal and Mrs Trimmer, 2 to 1 agst the Para filly, and 6 to 1 agst Nebula. The quartette ran nearly abreast into the Abingdon Mile Bottom, where the light weight had a little the best of it, but dropped away at the cords, leaving Mrs Trimmer in advance. In the last few strides, however, Fordham brought up Santhal on the inside, and landed him the winner by a head ; three lengths between the second and third. A SWEEPSTAKES of 50 sovs each, h ft, for three year olds ; colts 8st 121b, fillies Sst 71b ; 31b and51b allowed ; R. M.

The St Anne filly made play with the favourite on the whip hand and Rosina to the left to half way up the hill, where Oscar chal- lenged the leader, and won very cleverly by a neck ; bad third. The COLUMN STAKES of 50 sovs each, h ft, for three year olds; colts 8st 71b, fillies Sst 41b, the produce of mares covered in 1S59; those got by stallions or out of mares that never produced a winner allowed 31b, if both 51b ; R.

Sharp 3 Betting : 7 to 4 on Turcos, 7 to 2 agst Cura^ oa, and 5 to 1 agst Water Kelpie. Curafoa made play, with Turcos at her girths, Water Kelpie lying well up with the latter to the bushes, where she gave way. " The favourite, who had been pulling double over the leader all the way, waited to half way up the cords, when he came out and won easily by a length ; Water Kelpie beaten about as far from the second. A SWEEPSTAKES of 25 sovs each, 10 ft; three year olds 7st 121b, four 8st 121b, five and upwards 9st; mares and geldings allowed 31b ; the winner to be sold for 200 sovs; if for 100 allowed 71b ; last half of Ab.

Maltster made the running, followed by Anaticulus, the favourite lying off until reaching the cords, when Anaticulus fell back beaten, and Innellan overhauling Ihe Maltster half way up, won by a length ; bad third. A SWEEPSTAKES of 50 sovs each, h ft, for three year old fillies ; 8st 101b each ; T. i. C.

Amelia, in the centre fef the course, made play with Canace at her girths on the left, the favourite on the whip hand. The leader gradually drew away after entering the cords, and won easily by two lengths ; the favourite beaten a length from the second. The SUBSCRIPTION PLATE of 50 sovs; three year olds 7st 71b, four 8st 121b, five and upwards 9st 31b; T. Y. C. ( 5fur 140yds). Sir J. Hawley's Argonaut, by Stoclcwell, 4 yrs, 8st 121b. Wells 1 * Mr G.

After a slight delay Argonaut got off; n front, with the favourite on the whip hand, the pair being about a length in front of the others, of whom the Miranda filly was third, wide of Fan- tastic. They ran thus at a strong pace to the cords, where Argonaut took a clear lead of Mr Bryan's colt, and quitting him halfway up, won by two lengths; bad third. A SWEEPSTAKES of 10 sovs each; three year olds 7st 71b, four 8st 111b, five and upwards 9st, 41b; the winner to be sold for 100 sovs if demanded, & c: T. Y. C. ( ofur 140yds) ; 5 subs.

At the cords Harleston obtained a trifling advantage, but was collared half way up by Necromancer, who won by three quarters of a length ; Harleston and Peru run- ning a dead heat for second place. A PLATE of 50 sovs, for two year olds; celts Sst 91b, fillies Sst 61b ; the winner of a plate or sweepstakes value 100 sovs including the winner's own stake 51b, of two such races, or one of 200 sovs value 71b extra; the first half of Ab.

The lot were speedily despatched from the post on very level terms, the favourite having a trilling advantage over Clairvoyante and the Mammifer filly, the lot next clustering up being the Gossamer filly, Mdlle de Rosay and Jacob Omnium on the left, and Mirage and Vates on the right. Save that the latter dropped back at rather more than a quarter of a mile, no material change took place until entering the cords, when the Gossamer filly and Mdlle de Rosay disappeared in the ruck, and in the next few strides Clairvoyante and the Mammifer filly got a little the best of the favourite. Clairvoyante, from thence retaining her advantage in a close race home, won by a head, the favourite being beaten a head only from the second; Mirage, tolerably close up with the favourite, headed the next lot, which comprised Rose, the Gos- samer filly, Welcher, the Jet colt, and Mdlle de Rosay. The DERBY TRIAL STAKES of 50 sovs each, h ft, with 100 added by the Jockey Club ; three year olds 7st, four 8st 101b ; fillies and geldings allowed 51b ; winners of the Derby or St Leger 101b, of any weight for age race value 1,000 sovs 71b, of 500 sovs 41b extra ; maiden three year olds allowed 41b, four year olds 71b, maiden four year olds having started three times and never having received 50 sovs as second allowed 101b ; last mile and a half of B. C.; 30 subs. Count F. de Lagrange's b f Stradella, by The Cossack, or Father Thames, 4 yrs, 7st 121b C. Pratt 1 Mr Merry's Buckstone, 4 yrs. 9st G.

Naylor's Feu de Joie, 4 yrs, Sst 121b Challon « r 6 Betting: 6 to 4 agst Stradella, 7 to 4 agst Buckstorie, 8 to 1 agst Clarissimus, and 10 to 1 agst Feu de Joie. Stradella bore her colours in advance with St Alexis at her girths, the two being clear of Dunkeld, who occupied the third position, Buckstone and Clarissimus being next close together, the Oaks winner last. St Alexis was disposed of at the turn of the lands, and Buckstone thereon became the immediate attendant upon Stradella, and from this point it was virtually a match with the foremost two. The issue, however, was never in doubt, for although Buckstone drew upon the French mare at the site of the Duke's Stand the latter came away as she liked and won easily by a length and a half; bad third; the others, beaten off, were pulled up at the finish. THE SUBSCRIPTION ROOMS AT NIGHT. " Nothing doing" was the universal complaint, and many of the principal bookmakers were content to figure as " wallflowers" throughout the evening, the paucity of backers and the general apathy of the few " gentlemen'' present offering but little induce- ment to the " talent" for an active display of business. The forth- coming great handicaps at Epsom and Chester were productive of scarcely any speculation. For the City and Suburban Adven- turer was backed at 7 to 1 and 100 to 15 for a little, and would have been for more, had layers ultimately consented to go be- yond " sixes." Stradella, for the Chester Cup, likewise received but limited support at 7 to 1, a whisper being current that the mare's " party" were not yet on. The success of the French stable in the afternoon had, however, the effect of materi- ally strengthening Hospodar's already strong position for the " Guineas;" 900 to 400 were several times taken about him, those odds being also laid repeatedly to smaller amounts. Sac- charometer was also in force at 3 to 1; 700 to 200 was, how- ever, laid against him in one bet towards the close. After 10 to 1 had been taken about Brick he advanced to 9 to 1, at which odds he was backed for money. Blue Mantle was only talked about, and offers of 500 to 40 were made against him. 28 to 1 was taken about King of the Vale, and like odds offered against Melrose. The positions of the three favourites for the Derby were unchanged, although there was little or nothing done about them. 18 to 1 was offered against National Guard, and 20 to 1 laid against the Glenochty colt. Car- nival receded at one time from 20 to 1 to 500 to 20, 25 " ponies" being also booked about him. At the finish, however, 22 to 1 was thehighest offer. King of the Vale was introduced into the market as an extreme outsider, and was backed on the strength of his own performance on Monday and that of his stable companion Crafton Lass on Tuesday at 100 to 1, his owner taking 10,000 to 100 about him twice, after which not more than 66 to 1 was forth- coming. 3,000 to 45 was laid against Giles the First. Carnival was backed against Melrose for an even thousand, and 500 to 30 was laid against Hospodar winning the Derby and Two Thousand. Offers were also made of 1,000 to 800 on National Guard against Carnival, and also of the same odds on National Guard against the Glenochty colt, neither of which, however, found takers. The price current at the close was as follows:— CITY AND SUBURBAN. 6 to 1 agst Adventurer ( t 100 to 15) Two THOUSAND. 9 to 4 agst Hospodar ( tk < fc off) I 100 to S agst Blue Mantle ( off) 7 to 2 Saccharometer ( tk) 20 to 1 King of the Vale ( tk) 9 to 1 Brick ( tk) | 20 to 1 Melrose ( off) 7 to 1 agst Stradella ( tk) | 100 to 6 agst Amelia ( tk 20 to 1) DERBY. 22 to 1 agst Carnival ( t and off) 66 to 1 King of the Yale ( tk and off) 3000 to 45 Giles the First ( tk) 6 to 1 agst Lord Clifden ( off) 9 to 1 Hospodar ( tk) 10 to 1 Saccharomcter( tk) 18 to 1 National Guard ( oft) 20 to 1 Glenochty colt ( tk) THURSDAY-— Having noted in our sketch of the doings in the Subscription Room the previous evening that the last bet of any note upon the Two Thousand was 700 to 200 about Saccharometer, it was not a matter of great surprise to find that a further demonstration was made against him this morning, when 400 to 100 was offered without avail, If Wednesday's card did sot contain many items of interest, that of to- day was no great improvement upon it, and the main interest was centred in the encounter between Buckstone and Zetland for the Claret Stakes. The Biennial Stakes, for four year olds, D. I., set first on the list, brought out eleven runners, a larger field than was generally an- ticipated, two of whom, Ellangowan and Agneta, were not coloured on the card. Favouritism was awarded to Welcome, on the supposition of his being of a " better class" than the others, the majority of whom it must be confessed were moderate enough. After Welcome, The Earl of Surrey, In- nellan, and Citadel were the only others backed in reality. The glorious uncertainty was, however, once more displayed, for the winner turned up in the uncertain Harlequin, whese solitary vic- tory last year was at this very meeting, where on the other side of the ditch he beat Carbineer for the Queen's Plate. To- day he was hardly thought of, although Fordham was up, and a well- known bookmaker had much ado to thrust 500 to 30 upon his owner, who believed in and accordingly backed Welcome. The horse, after a sojourn at William Goater's, returned a short time since to his old quarters at A. Taylor's. Moving on, the Handicap Plate of 50 sovs, across the flat, next ensued, and Gemma, who opened the favourite, was supplanted in the betting by Bandage, and the latter, after running out somewhat near the finish, landed Mr Payne's colours two lengths in advance of Bat- tery. For the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs, Rowley Mile, the French colt Valentine was most fancied, and as little as 5 to 2 was at first taken about Macaroni, but eventually the latter declined to 5 to 1. Macaroni, however, achieved so easy a victory, winning by three lengths, that inquiries were instantly made respecting him for the Two Thousand, and he was backed at 100 to 7, 13 to 1, and 100 to 8, although the last- named price was afterwards offered, and later in the afternoon 100 to 6 was laid three times. Some mention, too, was made about him for the Derby, but nothing was done either about him or his stable com- panion Carnival on the course for that event. Mrs Trim- mer, more at home over a mile, won the Subscription Plate, for which Sandford was the best favourite, very easily, and was claimed byCount de Lagrange; and Zora, receiving 131b and a year from Biondella, defeated her for the Free Handi- cap, T. Y. C., next brought off. A " splitting" race for the Sweep- stakes of 50 sovs each between Le Marechal and Brother to Mo- rocco was won on the post by the former by a head, and " harking back" to the top of the town, the Claret Stakes, which was contested by Buckstone, Zetland, and Clarissimus, next claimed attention, and the betting settled down at 6 to 4 on the former and 7 to 4 agst Lord St Vincent's horse. The latter made his own running, and was beaten about the site of the Duke's Stand, and a good race home with the other two resulted in the triumph of the favourite by a " short neck," Lord Glasgow's colt never quite getting up. In the match made overnight between Mr Payne's Bandage and Mr Rowland's The Bey of Tunis, catch weights, the former being ridden by " Mr Newland," who has not lately appeared in the pigskin in public, and the latter by his owner, Bandage was so far preferred that 5 to 2 and 2 to 1 were betted on him. The favourite was however doomed to defeat, for although good enough to defeat Battery at even weights, receiving the year, he was no match for The Bey of Tunis for this short spin of two furlongs and fifty- two yards, for the latter, quick at starting, dashed off at score, lay in front throughout, and won easily. The winner, who ran several times as a two year old, was bred by Mr Phillips of Bushbury, is by Vengeance ( Barb) out of Truth, the winner of the Cambridgeshire, and very highly prized by Mr Rowlands as his favourite hack, and the match originated in a little badinage the previous evening as to his merits com- pared with certain other animals. Flying Fish having ac- complished the feat of walking over for the Aske Produce Stakes, and Welcher having " received 25," and walked over for the £ 50 Plate, as many Welchers have " walked off" after " receiving,'' and oftener still without paying, the day's doings terminated with the above match. A good deal of " loud talk " took place before dinner, and a good deal of " chaff " was indulged in respecting 8accharometer, who, after going to 5 to 1 for the Two Thousand, came again to 4 to 1, although half a point more was afterwards offered. Hospodar remained at his previous price, and not more than 7 to 1 was to be had about Brick, who was remarkably firm. 100 to 7 was offered agst both Blue Mantle and Macaroni. Melrose had been backed during the afternoon at about the same price, but 15 to 1 was now offered freely, while his stable companion Michael Scott was disposed of at 100 to 1. 100 to 15 was offered on the field for the Chester Cup. The subsequent doings at night will be found below.

In this order, or with no " noteworthy change, they ran across the flat into the Abingdon Mile bottom, when Agneta dropped back to her horses, leaving Balder in advance, but Harlequin and Ellangowan draw- ing up at the turn of the lands, the colours of Mr Savile were soon conspicuous in the van, while Ellangowan took his place at the quarters of Balder. In a few strides, however, Ellan- gowan broke down and retired, and Welcome and Canwell showed in his place on the lower ground. At the site of the Duke's Stand, Harlequin, Inwellan, Canwell, and Welcome were nearly in a line across the course, but the latter two dropped back about half way, and Harlequin and Innellan had the finish to them- selves, the former winning easily by three quarters of a length, two lengths between the second and third, Welcome being next, close up with Canwell, clear of these Balderwas fifth, the others pulling up together, with the exception of Agrieta, who trotted in by her- self a long way in the rear, A HANDICAP PLATE of 50 sovs, for three year olds and upwards; A.

Gemma, on the extreme right, cut out the work, followed by Bandage and Battery in the middle of the course to the Bushes, where the leader gave way, leaving the pair just named in front, with Stanton next to the left of them. Bandage had the baron's filly safe in the Abingdon Mile bottom, and running out a little at the finish won by two lengths; bad third, Gemma heading the others, who were beaten off.

Le Marechal made the running on the whip hand, waited upon by Valentine and Gratitude, with the Giraffe colt in the middle and Macaroni to the left, with Begonia at liis side. In this order they ran to the half- mile post, when the lead was taken by Valentine, Macaroni going on second, followed by the Senorita colt, Le Marechal, and the Giraffe colt. Half way up the hill the last two fell back beaten, and Mr Naylor's colt catching Valentine before reaching the cords, won easily by three lengths; Lord Glasgow's colt defeating the Frenchman for second place by two lengths.

The fa- vourite made play in the middle of the course, with the Anemone colt and Newfoundland on the whip hand, and Zeloo and Mrs Trimmer on the left for about the first half mile, when Mr Barne's colt and Sandford were both beaten, and Mrs Trimmer went on with the lead, followed by the Lady Evelyn colt, Aicibiade, and Newfoundland, and ran home an easy winner by three lengths ; bad third.

The two favourites ran very wide of each other nearly in a line for about three hundred yards, when Zora on the extreme right showed slightly in advance, and Biondella beiug in trouble at the cords, the former won very easily by two lengths; three lengths between the second and third ; bad fourth.

Brother to Morocco made play at a strong pace, but was caught in tbe last stride by the favourite, who won a slashing race on the post by a head.

Zetland led with Buckstone in waiting, Claris- simus lying at the girths of the latter, to the turn of the lands, where the trio took closer order, Zetland, however, having a little the bestof it to about two distances from home, where he was beaten, and an exciting struggle ensued with the favourite and Clarissi- mus; the latter, however, could never get quite up, and was de- feated by a " short neck,'' Zetland, who was not persevered withat last, finishing about four or five lengths from Lord Glasgow's colt.

Whether the backers of Saccharometer are destined to win their money over the Two Thousand time will prove, but, at all events, they cannot complain of having no fun for their money, for the game played this evening was somewhat comic, especially for those who could look quietly on. Hospodar was steady at 9 to 4, and Saccharometer, who appeared the standing joke of the night, extremely unsteady at 9 to 2. 7 to 1 was taken very freely about Brick, the first bet booked being 70o to 100, and after 13 to 1 had been offered agst Blue Mantle he found backers at 100 to 8, at which price he was ultimately backed to win about £- 3,000. 15 to 1, and in some quarters longer odds, were tendered about Rapid Rhone, and after 200 to 11, and subsequently 100 to 6, had been laid agst Macaroni 14 to 1 was the highest offer. 20 to 1 was offered agst Melrose. Lord Clifden was not named in connection with the Derby, and after 1,200 to 100 had been taken absut Saccharemeter a point more was offered. Hospodar, on the contrary, was backed freely at 9 to 1. At first 20 to 1 was betted against Carnival, but soon afterwards 1,000 to 55 was booked twice ; and 1,800 to 100 was accepted about National Guard, and although 20 to 1 to a " score'' was laid subsequently, the taker was anxious to go on, while the layer was not. 1,000 to 15 was booked about Macaroni, and 2,000 to 30 about Giles the First. Nothing worth noticing was done on the forthcoming Handicap events, and altogether " chaff" was in the ascendant. Two THOUSAND. 9 to 4 agst Hospodar ( tk) 9 to 2 Saccharometer ( off) 100 to 15 Brick ( off) 100 to 8 Blue Mantle ( tk) DERBY. 9 to 1 agst Hospodar ( tk) I 18 to 1 agst National Guard ( t) 13 to 1 Sacctiarometer ( tk) 1000 to 15 Giles the First ( tk) 1000 to 55 Carnival ( tk) | 1000 to 15 Macaroni ( tk) FRIDAY.— A duller termination to a Craven Meeting has not been recently experienced, although some little life was infused into the quietude of the early morning by the very prevalent ru- mour that Saccharometer had left Ilsley for other quarters the preceding evening, or, as the wits of the ring had it, " gone to pay a visit to Buccaneer's box.'' So far as his having been removed, however, we may state that nothing of the kind had taken place, whatever may be done subsequently. The early hour at which the racing commenced to- day rendered an early adjournment to the Heath necessary, the more so as the first race was for Her Ma- jesty's Plate, over the Round Course, on the other side of the ditch, which rendered a long detour necessary. Two only— Asteroid and Amy, were enteredfor the above race^ nid somesurprise was ex- pressed that the mare should run against Sir Joseph Hawley's horse. It appears, however, that Mr Ten Broeck had laid 4 to 1 the previous day on Asteroid with a race, and he, therefore, pro- vided one by entering Amy. Asteroid sweated very much when he was stripped, so much so in fact that several took the long odds of 7 and 8 to 1 on the " off chance" of his not being " quite right." The result, however, was a most hollow affair, and was won by the " cherry jacket" in a canter. Ten of the entered seventeen started for the Handicap Plate over the pleasant New T. Y. C., where it was much better going than on the other side of the ditch. It was a very easy triumph for the top- weighted Welland, the only one besides the favourite, Erythia, that was backed in earnest, for 10 to 1 was offered, bar these two. 2 to 1 was betted on Cerintha for the Sweepstakes of 100 sovs, Ditch Mile, her only opponents being Escape and Beauvale. The se- lected one, however, was in trouble a; about half a mile, and once more Lord Stamford's colours were struck to those of Mr Merry. The Port Stakes was, par excellence, the even t in which centred nearly all the real interest of the day's racing, from the meeting of The St Leger victor and Stradella at fair weight for age over the " two middle miles," and although the mare had beaten Buckstone forthe Derby Trial Stakes over a mile and a half, she was then receiving 161b from him, and the conqueror of Buckstone in the St Leger was deemed good enough, under the circumstances, to lay 2 io 1 on. It was a slow run race, in fact only a " sweating" pace until they got into the flat, when it was mended, but although the long lead the mare held the other side of the ditch was sensibly dim inished on the flat, the backers of the crack looked in vain to see the mare give way beaten, and despite Chal- loner's vigorous efforts— so vigorous, indeed, that his cap flew off as he endeavoured to rouse the Marquis and overhaul the mare — to the dismay of the Marquisites the hspe of Whitewall was defeated by a clever three- quarters of a length. The circumstance caused considerable surprise, for the horse was said to be " never better," and it was generally agreed that he looked " as fit as a fiddle.'' Either, therefore, the horse was out of his distance or the mare is much better than anticipated— perhaps " a little of both." In the Sweepstakes of 25 sovs each, T. Y. C., Old Orange Girl, however, landed the'odds entrusted to her as easily as the adherents of the Whitewall stable had fondly hoped The Marquis would have done. Livingstone won the Half- mile Sweepstakes in his old style, beating Curie and the two year old Vates; and the Bennington Stakes having gone off in a walk over by Lord William Powlett's St Anne filly, and Mr Saxon having received 100 sovs on account of his newly- acauired 100 to 7 agst Macaroni ( tk) 15 to 1 Rapid Rhone ( off) 20 to 1 Melrose ( off) purchase, Water Kelpie, in her match with Mr Fleming's Loyola the event just named terminated a very indifferent meeting. Many of the visitors having quitted Newmarket by the morning train, the muster on the Heath to day was very moderate, and betting on events to come proportionately so. After the victory of Escape, about whom 1,000 to S was offered for the Derby, 1,000 to 10, and subsequently 1,000 to 15 was taken freely aboutThe Ranger, and after Stradella had disposed of The Marquis, the highest offer against her for the Chester Cup was 4 to 1. For the Two Thousand 9 to 4 was booked repeatedly about Hospodar, but on the platform'at Cambridge, during the ten minutes " wait" of the special, 400 to 200 was twice booked, and 4 to 1, though no more, at the same place was offered agst Saccharometer, and 7 to 1 agst Brick, while the price offered on the Heath was taken about Stradella for the Chester Cup.

Speedy, with Stockowner and Erythia close up, ran together in front, with Welland ( fourth) on the left, and Prophet on the whip hand, Ellerton running forward for a brief space by himself on the extreme right. Welland waited upon the leading trio to about half a distance from home, when he came away and ran in an easy winner by three lengths; a length between the second and third; about a length and a half off were Speedy and The Prophet, Trumps heading the others, who were whipped in by Ellerton.

The latter cantered off in advance, the pace being extremely bad until reaching the flat, when it became good, and the lead of the mare gradually diminished.

Stewards: Sir H. Williamson, Bart, the Worshipful the Mayor of Durham, H. B. Baker, and W. 8. C. Standish, Esqs. Judge: Mr R. Johnson, York. Starter: Mr W. Elliott. Clerk of the Course and Secretary: Mr T. Craggs. This meetingopened onMonday withanexcellentlistandsplendid weather. The races had been discontinued since 1859, but on the present occasion the services of Mr Craggs of Stockton were se- cured. The various entries were 50 per cent larger than at any former meeting, and we have no doubt, after the contem- plated alterations on the course, especially at the last turn, but the meeting w ill become one of the leading spring meetings in the north of England. The North Eastern Railway Company ran special trains at a cheap rate, from Newcastle, Sunderland, and other towns, and the public duly appreciated the liberality of the railway company by the patronage bestowed upon them. The races, therefore, were more numerously attended than in any pre- vious year, the stand receipts on the first day showing an increase of £ 10 over any two days at former Durham Races. Amongst the company present we noticed Sir Hedworth Williamson, Bart; Mr W. S. C. Standish, Mr H. B. Baker, the Hon W. E. Dun- combe, M. P.; the Hon G. W. Fitzwilliam, Mr A. F. C. Vymer, Mr G. A. Fenwick, M. P. ; Mr H. F. Beaumont, Mr Francis Watt, Major Bell, Capt Vilvain, Mr H. H. Williamson, Mr James Cookson, Mr John Fawcett, Mr J. Binns, Mr H. S. Thompson, Mr H. H. Wooler, & c, & c. The running ground was in the finest possible order, and the arrangements were ably carried out. The added money will be increased next year, not only to the Durham Handicap, but also to the Hunt Cup and the Elamore Stakes, named after the seat of the popular steward, Henry Baker Baker, Esq, of Elamore Hall, near Dur- ham. The added money to this stake will be increased from 40 to 100 sovs, and the Durham Hunt Cup to 50 sovs. There are al- ready several subscribers to the Durham Hunt Cup, Durham Handicap, and the Elamore Stakes for next year. The commis- sariat department was conducted at the stand by Mr John Gow- land, of Stockton, in a nsost creditable manner. Proceed- ings opened with the Trial Stakes, for which Royalty, with her 141b allowance, was made a warm favourite, but the " pot" boiled over, Prairie Flower winning easily. The Elamore Stake was won by the favourite, Mr Bowes's Theo- balda, after a fine race by a head. On the strength of this success, her stable companion, Luna was made a very hot favourite for the Durham Handicap, but being a big mare she could not act round the turns, and Bohemian, the winner of the Tyne Handicap at Newcastle Spring last week, and who incurred no penalty, won, after a good race by a length. The Stand Stakes afforded a very close race between Netherdale and Saltant, the former winning by a head. The first day's sport was brought to a close by the Durham Hunt Cup, for which The Monk, no doubt owing to MrG. 8. Thompson being up, was made the favourite, but the horse tired in the last quarter of a mile, and Major Bell's The Queen won easily. The weather on the second day, with the ex- ception of a smart shower of hail, was favourable, and the general attendance of company large, but not quite so numerous as on the first day. The sport opened with the City Plate, which Mr Wilkins's Betsy Copeland won easily. The Lambton Stakes afforded a very close race with the first three, Eilo to- day turning the tables upon Theobalda. They were equal favourites in the Ring before the race, and the race was so well contested that even money was laid on the Stand, before the number went up, that no one named the winner " absolutely;" however, we heard of one gentleman who did so, and got the better of one of our cleverest bookmakers. The Raby Stakes produced a very hot favourite in Devotee, but his backers were doomed to disappointment, for Lord Dundreary defeated him by a head, although in the next three strides the result would have been against his lordship. Mr F. Leason's Picco car- ried oft' the Wear Selling Stakes, and brought 20gs to the race fund. The North Durham Handicap brought a most successful meeting to a close, when another favourite was upset in Bernice, Bohemian winning this as well as the principal handicap on the first day. It will be seen by our return that the fields were not large, but the races generally were closely and severely contested. The management reflected great credit upon all concerned. The stewards for next year are Mr H. Baker Baker and Mr Henry Fenwick, M. P. MONDAY.

Fete Day jumped off with the lead for the first hundred yards, when Royalty went to the front, with F te Day and Prairie Flower second and third to the last turn, where Prairie Flower took up the running, fol- lowed by the favourite, and won easily by a length, Fete Day passing Royalty within the distance, ana beating her for second place by the same.

C. post, where Fairy King dropped into the rear arid Giltnook was left in command, with Bohemian, Lord Dundreary, and Luna following; Giltnoek was beaten at the bottom turn, and Bohemian went to the front, fol- lowed by Lord Dundreary, the favourite, and Picco. Lord Dun- dreary made his effort within the distance, but never quite getting up, was beaten, after a good race, by a length ; three lengths be- tween the second and third, and a neck between third and fourth. Giltnook was fifth, Fairy King sixth, and Retento last. The pace was good all the way.

Shepherdess, 5 to 1 agst Sir William Arm- strong, and 7 to 1 agst any other. Gaylass cut out the work, fol- lowed by The Monk and Duke ; Maid of Hamsterley last, a long way in the rear. They ran thus for the first half mile, when Sir " William Armstrong took third place, and in the next quarter of a mile he became second ; the favourite and White Socks the next two, the Queen being fifth. Sir Wrilliam Armstrong took up the running at the T. Y. C, post in the last round, followed by Gaylass, The Monk, and White Socks ; but at the bottom turn he, with Gaylass, fell back, and left the favourite in front, followed by " White Socks and The Queen. At the distance the trio took close order, and in the next few strides the favourite was beaten. The Queen, getting the best of her companion at the half distance, won easily by a length ; two lengths between the second and third ; bad fourth. Maid of Hamsterley was pulled up in the first mile. The winner was ably ridden by her owner, Major Bell, the master of the Tynedala Hounds, who was loudly cheered on returning to scale. TUESDAY.— The CITY PLATE ( Handicap) of 25 sovs, for all ages; winners after March 30 51b extra; T. Y. C. Mr J. Wilkins's br f Betsy Copeland, by Vulcan or Annandale, 3 yrs, 7st 41o Doyle 1 Mr J.

Eilo made play with Thee- balda and Balderstone ( second and third) to the distance, where Balderstone was beaten, and Good Advice joined the pair, and, half- way up, appeared to have the race in hand, but he died away at the finish; a fine race home, however, was the result, Eilo win- ning by a short neck, and Theobalda beating Good Advice by half a length; Balderstone was a respectable fourth. Mantalini was left at the post. The RABY PLATE of 30 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each, 3 ft; winners extra ; the second saved his stake; one mile ; 14 subs.

Devotee cut out the work at a good pace, Betsy Copeland second, and Lord Dundreary last. They ran in this order to the T. Y. C. post, where Betsy Copeland took up the running, with Lord Dundreary second, and the favourite last. No change in these positions till reaching the distance, • where Lord Dundreary deprived Betsy of the lead and won a fine race by a head ; the favourite beating Betsy Copeland by three parts of a length.

KNIGHTON ( RADNORSHIRE) MEETING. Btewards : G. H. Phillips and W. T. M. Baskerville, Esqs. Clerk of the Course: Mi" W. Edwards. With commanding advantages for field pastimes generally, steeple chasing, as revived at Knighton, yielded on this occasion to the elder branch of sport. Failure, however, in anything at the old- fashioned borough seems rather to incite exertion, and so long as the races have the fostering care of Mr Greene Priee, there is hope for better things even in the jumping line; if not already as a whole taking the shine out of one or two neighbour- ing gatherings. Up to Tuesday forenoon the new course was all that could be wished, until real Welsh rain set in with the com- mencement of the racing, whereby all around soon became murky, miserable, and muddy. The Maiden Plate, won last year by Equator, was again added by Reindeer to the list of good things realised here during nearly a quarter of a century by Mr T. Parr. The Stewards' Cup must also have gone to the party carrying it off on the previous anniversary but for the ftm use made of Vo- lunteer, who at starting got away lengths thebest of everything, but had no powder left for the finishing touch with a good- gal- loping son of Moorcock, the winner. The Hunt Chase intro- duced a new candidate for cross country honours in Princess Dagmar, bred by Mr Holman himself, and hunted for two sea- sons with the Cotswold Hounds. Described on the card as " half bred, 5 years old, by Sir Peter Laurie,'' she took the 71b allowance accordingly, and having only Haphazard to dispose of at the straight, beat him cleverly at last; though opinions were scarcely divided that but for taking it easily at an important part of the journey, after fetching up a good deal of lost ground, the verdict would have been the other way. Eventually, however, the rider and owner of Haphazard served the Stewards with a notice not to pay over the stakes, considering the words " half bred," without any other description of the dam, insufficient to show that the Princess was bond fide a half bred mare; and so the matter for the present remains in abeyance, though we have since been informed that her full pedigree was submitted to the authorities later in the evening. On Wednesday the " wet'' mercifully held off, but the foing was heavy to the letter, and just suiting Colonel Crockett, e won the Knighton Handicap in a canter. Volunteer next pul- ling off the Cup bearing his name, showed plainly how on the first day be ought to have " nailed" the Stewards' trophy also. Both cups, in silver, were handsome things in their way, of sub- stantial manufacture, and decidedly worthy of competition. As the Scurry failed to produce a race, the Knighton Chase afforded a capital wind- up to the meeting, the arrangements of which were conducted in Mr Edwards' usually efficient manner, and who deserves well of his townsmen for long services rendered in their behalf through fair or indifferent support. By next year a stand is to be erected, and what is equally important, extra hotel accom- modation it is hoped will be provided. TUESDAY, APRIL 7.— The MAIDEN PLATE of 40 sovs; weight for age and certain allowances ; one mile. Mr Starkey's bk g Reindeer, by Mountain Deer, 5 yrs, 8st 41b Heslop 1 Mr Patrick's b g Bowman, 5 yrs, 9st W. White 2 Mr Herbert's b c Whitehall, 3 yrs, 7st 71b ( carried 7at 91b) .. J.

Brown Betty showed in advance, succeeded by Reindeer, Rantipole, and Whitehall for a double distance, after which Bowman took up the running to the straight, from whence he was waited on by Reindeer, who deprived him of the lead half way up, and won a good race by a length; Whitehall finishing as far from the second. Brown Betty was a tolerable fourth, the favourite fifth, Rantipole sixth, Damson Cheese seventh, Trincomalee last. , The STEWARDS' CUP, value 20 sovs ( the gift of the stewards), added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, for hunters; four year olds lOst 51b, five list 41b, six and aged list 121b; thorough breds 71b extra, winners extra; the second saved his stake; gentlemen riders; one mile and a half; 10 subs.

Volunteer, quickest on his legs, was far ahead ere the others ( imagining it was " no go") settled down to work, and increasing his lead as he went on, had full twenty lengths the best of it at a mile; the only one in fact behind him with the ghost of a chance being Prisoner, who gradually decreased the gap in the concluding hundred yards, and eventually defeated the - wl- out Volunteer by two lengths. Of the others, beaten a Deodara, last off, whipped in throughout. E RADNORSHIRE STAKES ( Handicap) of 7 sovs each, 5; ft, and 2 only if declared, with 40 added by Sir J. Walsh, Bart, M.

White 4 Betting : 6 to 4 agst Gasconade, 7 to 4 agst Everlasting, 2 to 1 agst Consternation, and 5 to 1 agst Satanella. The latter, with Consternation looking on, made play for a mile, when Everlast- ing shot to the fore about a length in advance of Cliff's mare, as far from whom Consternation was third, Gasconade well up in her wake. These positions were maintained to the straight, where the top weight, in trouble, resigned to Satanella, who at the half distance was challenged by Consternation and defeated cleverly by three quarters of a length; same distance between second and third; Everlasting beaten oft. The RADNORSHIRE OPEN HUNT STEEPLE CHASE of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for hunters that have never won a steeple chase of the value of 50 sovs; four year olds lOst 71b, five list 41b, six and aged list 121b; winners extra; half breds allowed 71b; three miles.

Collins's b iri Emily Harris, aged, I2st Sib........ Owner 4 Mr Patrick's b g Bowi » an, 5 yrs. list 41b R. Sly 0 Betting : Even on Princess Dagmar. Strong running was made by Haphazard until a refusal at the first hurdles ( a performance, his rider assured us, he never indulged in before) left him in the rear. However, taking it at the second asking, the horse was soon up with his opponents, of whom Emily Harris, in command, whipped round at the third jump and threw out Killarney. Owing we believe, to the same cause, Bowman capsized and stuck fast in the ditch, from whence, by the aid of his jockey and half a dozen others, the horse was extricated and re- mounted, but he would have " ne more on't." For the ensuing mile or so Killarney, with the favourite at her side, showed the way, when they were re- passed by the yet- full- of- running Haphazard, between whom and the pair mentioned t he lead alternated to the finishing timber, which Mr Henry cleared cleverly, half a, length in advance of Princess Dagmar, and the nicely- pilotedPKillarney, who, however, tired at the half- distance, where the favourite disposed of Haphazard, apparently suffering from a recent kick at another place, and won by" a length and a half; Killarney a moderate third ; Emily Harris, who besides the blunder alluded to declined other fences, cantered in a bad fourth. The stakes, as will be seen elsewhere, were subsequently claimed for the second, on grounds, thevalidity of which stands over for investigation. WEDNESDAY.— The KNIGHTON HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, 2 ft if declared, with 25 added by the Right Hon Sir G. Cornewall Lewis, Bart, M.

At the third attempt Colonel Crockett jumped off with the lead, followed by Brown Betty and Rose de Clare for three quarters of a mile, when the latter got her head in advance for a few strides, and then com- pounded in the dirt with the other light weight, after which the favourite resumed the running, stalled off the rush of Equator at the finish, and won easily by half a length ; three lengths divided second and third, and thrice as far the third and fourth.

Mr Williams rode Stanage Lass in this heat. The KNIGHTON HUNT STEEPLE CHASE of 3 sovs each, with 20 added ; gentlemen riders ; 12st each ; three miles ; 5 subs. Mr H.

Montrose made play, followed by Fanfaron and the favourite, and in this order they ran to the mile post, where the latter took the lead, with Montrose second and Fanfaron last, till reaching the distance, where they elosed, and a fine race home ensued, Montrose winning in the last three strides by a head, the favourite beating Fanfaron for second money by half a length.

Mr Ringrose's f by Young Dutchman, dam by fun Dy consent Delirium ( h b), 8st ) CATTEEICK BRIDGE MEETING Stewards: The Right Hon the Earl of Zetland and Captain Scrope. Judge: Mr Richard Johnson, York. Clerk of the Course and Starter: Mr George Dawson. This meeting, which a few years ago was one of the leading spring meetings in Yorkshire, has undergone great changes for the worse. No better two year old course can be found in the North of England, and Catterick Bridge is within four miles of Richmond, and ten of Middleham, so that the horses can leave their training quarters on the morn- ing of the races and be at home in the evening. The meeting, however, is gradually going out, and unless some Herculean exer tions are made Catterick will retire to the tomb of the Capulets. The principal causes of this retrogressions are the want of funds and other meetings springing up in the North, to which the sinews of war are more liberally offered. However, we have al- ways had a' great partiality for Catterick, and we are confident that the meeting can be brought back to its " old form" if proper exertions are made. It undoubtedly has undergone a great change since Mr Jaques gave it up. The card for the first day was very poor, only four races, and but fourteen horses in all to contend for them. We have seen as many runners for a single race formerly, and we hope to see it again. If tliemanagementcannot accomplish greater things than at present they had better reduce the meeting to one day. The weather was very fine on both days, but rather cold. The attendance of company was up to the average, the Stand receipts equalled those of lateyears, and we never remem- ber to have seen so many carriages on the ground. The course was in pretty good order, but we are sorry to say that it was much cut up owing to horses having exercised upon itfor weeks before the races. This ought not to be permitted in future. The " ball" opened with theCraven, for which odds were laid on Devotee, but he was doomed to defeat, for Lady Louisa won by a neck, after a good race. Per- suasion carried off the Two Year Old Triennial very easily, as did King of Utopia the Three Year Old Triennial, and the proceedings of the day closed with the Four Year Old Triennial, for which Patrick was made the favourite, but he also suffered his colours to be lowered by Mr Watt's Birthday filly. The second day's sport showed considerable improvement, in the quality of the sport, and the fields were larger, the Bedale Hunt Stakes bringing out the largest field of the meeting. The Sweepstakes was the first race on the card, which Stiff won in a canter. The Hornby Handicap afforded a fine race with the first three, ending in a dead heat between Flytrap and The Robber. The deciding heat was run the last race of the day, for wtiich The Robber came in first, but having gone on the wrong side of a post at the bottom turn, the race was given to Flytrap. Benedict carried off the Bedale Hunt Stake, which is looked upon in the neighbourhood as a sort of St Leger. The Breugh Handicap was a splendid race with the three ; Lord Zetland's Montrose, purchased at York in January last, won by a head. The business arrangements were well carried out. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8.— The CRAVEN HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 25 added; winners extra; the second saved his stake ; one mile; 5 subs.

Daniel O'Connell was beaten three lengths.

King of Utopia jumped off with the lead, but Trump Queen soon took up the running, with Fanfaron second, Zapateado third, and the favourite last, to the mile post, where Zapateado took the second place, with Fanfaron third, and King of Utopia last, all being well to- gether. No change took place in these positions till reaching the bottom turn, when the favourite deprived Trump Queen of the lead, was never afterwards headed, and won in a canter by a length; second beating the third half a length; bad fourth.

Trump Queen deprived The Robber of the lead at the last turn, and was joined by The Robber, Joey Jones, and Flytrap at the distance. Half way up Trump Queen was beaten, and the trio ran a fine race home, which ended in a dead heat between Flytrap and The Robber, Joey Jones finishing a length and a half from them ; Trump Queen was a respectable fourth, Upperhand fifth, and Sledmere last. DECIDING HEAT.— Betting : 11 to 8 on Flytrap. The Robber took the lead, was never headed, and won easily by three lengths. On returning to scale an objection was made to The Robber on the ground that he had run inside a post at the bottom turn. Capt Scrope investigated the case, and awarded the race to Flytrap. The BEDALE HUNT PLATE of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, for half bred horses that have been regularly hunted with the Bedale or Hurworth Foxhounds during the season 1862- 63; four year olds lOst 101b, five list 101b, six and aged 12st 71b; winners extra; gentlemen riders; two miles.

Starlight made strong running, followed by Chance Shot, Lady Scamper- dale, and Beyrout to the Brough Gate, where Bob Brunton and Is That You took the third and fourth places. At the bottom turn Benedict took the second place and waited on Starlight to the dis- tance, where he headed her, and won very easily by three lengths; a head between the second and third ; nothing near the three. Chance Shot, Sir William Armstrong, The Monk, Is That You, and Easby were the next lot, but beaten a long way. Eeyrout and Lady Scamperdale were the last two. The BEQUGH HANDICAP of 7 sovs each, 3 ft, with 50 a ided ;, the ABERGAVENNY RACES AND MONMOUTHSHIRE HUNT MEETING. Stewards: Sir J. Bailey, Bart, and Major M'Donnell. Hon Sec: Mr J. Watkins. Nearly all the leading supporters of this once- highly popular meeting attended during the past week to devise plans for its future improvement rather than in contemplation of sport. The conclusion arrived at was that the high scale and subsequent raising of the weights had knocked on the head the grand chase, for which scarcely anything under list used to put in an appear- ance years ago. That other events suffered in proportion, owing to the quantity of meetings now in opposition, there can be likewise no doubt, though, looking at the liberality and straightforward management of the Mon- mouthshire committee, we confess to no small surprise that Aber- gavenny should have been so much disregarded, notwithstanding the lovely weather and capital going. Nothing daunted, however, Major St'retton and other resident gentlemen have taken up the work of resuscitation in a right spirit, and have, besides givingan additional race on the flat, making four in the main, originated in lieu of the old open, a three mile chase for four year olds and up- wards, for 1864. In the crowded state of our columns this week we may, therefore, be spared comment on the events brought to issue on Thursday last, beyond the fact that The Flat and Molly Astliore being on the ground for the principal chase, 40 sovs were offered to make a race, but as the parties connected with the horses could not precisely agree in a proposed division between them of the booty, the mare merely went to the post for the forfeits. Mr Watkins was, as usual, indefatigable in his duties, and everything, so far, afforded the highest satisfaction. Lord Tredegar and Mr E. Curre, of Heaton Court, have accepted stewardship for next year. THURSDAY, APRIL 9.— The MONMOUTHSHIRE STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 40 added; three year olds 7st 51b, four 8st 8lb, five 9st, six and aged 9st31b; entire horses 31b extra; horses bred in the county of Monmouth allowed 31b; heats, about one mile; 5 subs.

Weasel finished a bad third, having shut up directly he was called upon less than half a mile from home. ( BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

Stewards: Earl of Eglinton and Winton, Lord Binning, Sir D. Baird, Bart, and J. Inglis, Esq. Handicapper: Mr R. Johnson. Judge: Capt Harrison. Starter: Capt Inglis. Clerk of the Course : Mr J. Turner, jun. SATURDAY, APRIL 4.— This meeting is a judicious combina- tion to render the spring reunions more attractive, and under the auspices and able management of the hon secretary and judge, and the assiduous exertions of the respected C. C., the hopes of our sporting men bid fair to be realised. We may note en passatit that it is gratifying to observe the subscrip- tion for a testimonial to that evergreen turfite, Capt Harrison, in acknowledgment of his many valuable public services, and of his private worth, meets with a genial and general response. Hunt race meetings fairly represent the bona fides of true British sport. They are the social annual gatherings of the habitues of our clubs and coverts, where the practical M. F. H. and their enthusiastic followers meet to compare notes with brother sportsmen on the successes or reverses of the past season, the probabilities in futurity, and have a ehit chatty " crack" on kennels, coverts, condition, & c, and revive happy reminiscences in discussing the brilliant runs of the season, and the chances of the present candidates for racing ho- nours. It is now intended to make the Spring gatherings here chiefly a gentlemen's meeting, where the elite and first flight men of the ^ Hunts may bring their well- bred hunters to contest with each other for pride of place. Here we have weights, honesty, and men in the saddle, with horses bearing " the guinea stamp" of utility to carry them ; and as the owners have none of the sordid motives for gain which constant intercourse and heavy investments with the stentorian " I'll lay agin anything" class usually engender, even the pious Scotch ( vide Punch) might with advantage once a year lay aside their proverbial cautious re- serve, and patronise the sport with purse and countenance, indulging their " horsy" proclivities without meeting the re- proach of those friends who, singularly enough, imagine that the " Isthmian games" at Musselburgh are a sort of al fresco gamb- ling resort for the ungodly. We beg, with all becoming respect to our Scottish friends, to suggest that it is at such meetings the sedate W. S., the sporting yeoman, the " bould volunteer,'' and the high bred Corinthian may all don the silk and try conclusions on their sturdy representatives of equine excellence, sending them skimming along o'er Nature's elastic carpet with the same ho- nourable principles of emulation whfch possess them when sport- ing their " pink and tops" o'er ridge and furrow in a fast five and thirty minutes with the Duke's beauties, Sir David's clever but decimated pack, or the Hon J. Sandiland's well handled fast ones, & c. The company was select, and, as usual at spring meet- ings, not over numerous. Nevertherless, the Grand Stand receipts showed a considerable improvement over pre- vious years. Amongst those present on the Grand Stand were the Earl of Buchan, Lord Binning, Hon G. Sandilands, C. W. R. Ramsay, A. Mitchell Innes, N. Mitchell Innes, P. H. Paterson, Jas. Dewar, John Inglis, D. Henderson, J. Henderson, and J. Deans, Esqs; Lieut- Col Jones; Majors Bharpe, Pope, and Barker; Captains Kinloch, Campbell, Harrison, T. R. Smith, and Browne; and a number of officers of the Scots Greys. The Hunt Cup, with five entries, all starters, was won by that much esteemed sportsman, N. Mitchell Innes, Esq, of Ayton Castle. The horse was bred and ridden by himself, and on re- turning to scale he was warmly congratulated on his success. The Spring Handicap produced a capital race between Lothians' King and Teddy, but the big- un won easily at the finish. The Hunters' and Yeomanry Stakes brought seven out of nine entries to the post, when the aged Aubone showed a bit of his former speed in running a rattling second to Cremorne, and afterwards won the Selling Stakes. The Hurdle Race created considerable excitement and interest, but the sensation- loving public failed to witness the anticipated spill,, all the horses being accomplished fencers. The HUNT CUP of 20 sovs, added to a Sweepstake of 2 sovs each, for horses the bond fide property of meobers of, or subscribers to, any established pack of foxhounds in Scotland, and that have been regularly and fairly hunted with the same during season 1662- 63; 12st 71b each; two miles5 subs.

A nice even start was effected, Lady Jane leading round the first turn, the others following in a cluster. The Faucon- berg gelding then went to the front, and led at a merry pace half way round, when Rifleman made the running, wasnever afterwards headed, and wen by three lengths; an exciting finish between their ladyships for third honours ending in favour of Mr Dean's by a head. The SPRIKG HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 40 » Med; the second saved his stake; once round and a distance; 9 sebs. Mr J.

MissChaytor was fractious at the post, and repeatedly broke away, but altimately all got off well together. Teddy cut out the work, with the favourite at his quarters, till the bottom turn, when the King challenged, and at the distance they set- to in earnest, but the big- un running the strongest, won by folly a length ; a bad third. The HUNTERS' and YEOMANRY STAKE of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for all horses that have been regularly and fairly hunted with any established pack of foxhounds in Scotland, during season 1862- 63, or drilled with any yeomanry corps in Scotland, at least four days while in quarters in 1862; four year olds list, five list 71b, six and aged list 101b; mares and geldings allowed 31b; winners extra; ridden by officers, & c; professionals 71b extra; once round and a distance ; 9 subs.

After considerable difficulty in getting them together, chiefly owing to the perverseness of the rider of Ladykirk ( who was subsequently brought before the Stewards and severely reprimanded for his conduct), eventually a good start was effected. The Slave the last to begin, but the first to settle down to his work, piloted the lot half way round; D'Aubrey was then sent to the front, but failed to stay, and was thereon replaced by Johnny Cope, Cremorne and Aubone within the distance, the two latter singled themselves out, but the ' old un' stumbled opposite the Stahd, and his rider suddenly losing his hands he was put out of his stride, and the son of Hermit won by nearly two lengths. The Slave ran sulky, and when asked refused to act. The SELLING STAKE of 3 sovs each, with 20 added; three year olds 8st, four 9st 101b, five lOst 51b, six and aged lOst 71b; mares and geldings allowed 31b; the winner to be sold for 80 sovs; if entered for 60 allowed 51b, 40 101b, 30 161b, or 30 211b. and the surplus, if any, to go to the fund; second saved his stake; once round; 4 subs.

Bloomsbury took the initiative, but was soon headed by Aubone, who came away at the finish and won easily, thanks to the glo- rious state of Bloomsbury's rider; Adrift beaten off. The winner was put up at auction, but even the eloquence of a Scott failed to tempt a single bid. The TALLY Ho HURDLE STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for all horses that have been regularly and fairly hunted with any established pack of foxhounds during season 1862- 63, or drilled in any Yeomanry Corps in 1862- 63; four year olds list 41b, five list Ulb, six and aged 12st; thoroughbreds and winners extra; the winner paid 3 sovs towards expenses; one mile and a half, over five hurdles ( timber and furze), each about 3ft 8in ; 5 subs.

Every hurdle was cleared in beautiful style. THE NEWMARKET CRAVEN AND EPSOM SPRING MEETINGS. MEETING OF THE JOCKEY CLUB. A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at Newmarket, after the races, on Wednesday in the Craven meeting. Present- Lord Portsmouth and Admiral Rous, Stewards; Mr Alexander, Mr Barne, Count Batthyany, Mr W. G. Craven, Mr Greville, Sir J. Hawley, Mr R. H. Nevill, Mr Payne, Mr Savile, Lord Stam- ford. Lord Strathmore, Lord Westmoreland, Lord Winchilsea. His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange was unanimously elected a member of the club without a ballot. The accounts for the year ending Dec 31, 1862, having been presented and passed, C. Alexander, Esq, was appointed a stew- ard in the place of the Earl of Portsmouth, who retired by ro- tation. Lord Portsmouth was appointed a member of the Bentinck Fund Committee in the place of Mr Payne, who retired by ro- tation. The committee now consists of— Lord Coventry, Hon Admiral Rous, Mr Alexander ( Stewards of the Jockey Club); Duke of Richmond, Lord Chesterfield, Duke of Beaufort, Lord Portsmouth. The proposal to alter the amount of the annual subscription of Members of the Jockey Club was not brought forward. Admiral Rous having brought forward his motion for the alte- ration of Rule 42, which was seconded by Lord Portsmouth, Sir Joseph Hawley proposed to add some clauses; these were agreed to by Admiral Rous, and after some discussion it was resolved that the rule should stand thus:— 42. The starter has authority to order the jockeys to draw up in a line as far behind the starting post as he may think necessary, and any jockey disobeying the orders of the starter, or taking any unfair advantage, shall be punished by fine or suspension, accord- ing to the nature and degree of his offence, at the discretion of the stewards. No jockey can be suspended unless the case has been heard by the three stewards, and in the absence of any of the stewards a member or members of the Jockey Club shall be deputed to act for tbe steward or stewards absent. The punishment inflicted shall not be declared till after the last race of the day. A sentence duly passed upon a jockey cannot be remitted by the stewards without the authority of a general meeting of the Jockey Club. The starter is prohibited from making a running start; the horses must walk up, and be started from a walk, and if the starter from negligence or inattention allows a start to take place on the wrong side of the starting post he shall be fined a sum of money not exceeding £ 50, and the start shall be declared null and void.

RUFF'S GUIDE.— The Bpring Edition of this indispensable handbook has just been published, ably provided, as visual, with the nominations for 1863, the sport for 1862, and that for 1863 down to the close of March. In the way of tables, lists, lots, colours, courses, and so forth, Buff is as complete a guide as ever— a sufficient warranty for the present character and conduct of the work. Clearly printed and well packed, it is a very marvel of useful knowledge, and quite a bargain at half- a- crown. The assumed name of Mr Lowe has been registered. Singapore has been added to the list of geldings. Fordham is engaged to ride Hospodar for the Two Thousand Guineas. Rantipole was struck out of the Llanboidy Handicap at four p. m. on Tuesday last. Haider Sopp, of Westbury, Wilts, is open to engagements; weight, 5st 71b. Junior Wrangler, aged, was sold after his race on Wednesday, at Knighton, to MrSproson, for 20gs. Souveraine has been sold, and left Wm. Goater's stable for Mr Starkey's. The two year old and also the yearling Bister to Dusk have re- cently joined Lord Stamford's string. Water Kelpie was sold to Mr Saxon, after beating Jerry at Newmarket this week; and Edgeworth Bess has been sold to go abroad. Yulcan. who for some time has been leading work for Lord Stamford's stable, being completely " used up," was destroyed on Caryophylus, by Beadsman out of Gillyflower, 2 yrs, has re- cently arrived at Sir Joseph Hawley's training quarters, Kingsclere. Died, on the 5th inst, in his 73d year, John Robinson, for many years a resident of Newmarket, and highly respected by all who knew him. The whole of the late Sir Tatton Bykes's extensive breeding stud will be brought to the hammer as soon as arrangements can be made. Due notice will be given. Lord Stamford's hunting groom, Whitewall, will, it is reported, after the sale of his lordship's hunting stud, proceed to Newmarket to take charge of the breeding stud at the Park Paddocks. RAPPAREE.— Mr John Osborne has sold this horse to Mr Yyner. The price is said to be 1,000 sovs. He is to remain at Fairfield, near York, for the season. We hear that his present owner has since refused 1.500 sovs for him. F. Crouch, after an absence of some years in France and Bel- gium, has returned to England, and having accepted an engage- ment with Mr G. Bryan, made his re- appearance on the English Turf at head- quarters this week. Harry Hall has recently received a commission from Mr Bryan for portraits of Fantastic, Welland, and Waterwitch. In addition to these, the above artist has many important commissions in perspective. SIR TATTON BYKES.— Advices have been received at Bledmere House from Sir Tatton Sykes, dated Jerusalem. at which city he had arrived after an interesting tour in Palestine. And as no tidings had been heard of the popular young baronet for six months, the intelligence was truly welcomed. We are sorry to announce that James Godding, the well- known trainer, has, since his return from Northampton Races, been suffering from a severe attack of inflammation of the lungs, and although he now lies in a precarious state, hopes are entertained of his recovery. We regret to state that Mr Handley, late of the Scotch Greys, was one of the sufferers in the late accident on the Great Northern Railway. Although better, he still remains under medical treat- ment, and is confined ta his bed. Two of his horses that had arrived at Newmarket for the Craven Meeting, with H. E. May, were, in consequence of the accident, ordered home again. We have received the first number of aforeign contemporary de- voted to the same objects as ourselves, to be published weekly, in Berlin. The journal in question is entitled Der Sporn ( The Spur), and its first issue looks exceedingly promising. It contains abund- ant in formation on the forthcoming racing season in Germany, together with lists of horses in training, & e. Well written original articles on " Shoeing" and " Sport in Germany," together with excellent correspondence relative to sport in England and France, combine to render this first essay ( as we believe) in sporting litera- ture in Prussia very readable and useful. SALE BY MR ROBERT JOHNSON AT YORK.— The following steeple chase horses and hunters, the property of officers of the 10th Hussars, were brought to the hammer at York on Wednes- day last, in consequence of the regiment being under orders for Ireland:—- The property of Lieut- Col Baker: Sir Charles, 200gs; Trustee, 155gs; Malabar. 35gs. Capt Bowyer's: 8ir Hercules, 120gs; Smuggler, 38gs. Lieut Slacke's: Starbeck, 77gs; Multum in Parvo, 35gs; Cornet Frederick's Flirt, 40gs; Mr Thacker's Lindal and Bacchus, 29gs and 26gs: and one or two others. ACCIDENT TO MR THOMAS STEVENS.— We regret to record that Mr Stevens, the trainer, of Ilsley, met with an accident at Abergavenny, which is likely to confine him to a chamber for weeks to come. Arrived at the station with his horses on Wednes- day night last, Mr Stevens and others, tired of waiting for the de- parture onwards of the train, was in the act of crossing the line in pitchy darkness, when he fell into an ash pit at the far end of the platform, upon some iron bars, one of which inflicted a frightful gash in the lower portion of his left leg, several inches long, and clean down to the bone. He was removed to the Greyhound Hotel, and though suffering the most acute pain for hours after- wards, we are happy to add that on inquiry all symptoms of danger had disappeared. THE CREMORNE DOG SHOW.— Mr Lander, of Kilburn, com- plains that an Irish water spaniel was not put into the class he entered her for, and that although he called attention to the mis- take, she was still passed over or put aside. The Craven week is now over, and with reference to its proceed- ings the old Latin motto of " exnihilo, nihil fit," may certainly be applied, for the ranks of the Derby favourites are as firm as before, and from the outsiders, for that race, not a single promotion has been gazetted. With regard to the Chester Cup matters are much in the same state, with the solitary exception of the retire- ment of Dunkeld, owing to his defeat in the Sale 8takes by Gold Dust. Therefore, when the state of the weather is considered and the calibre of the horses that were brought out estimated, the ab- sence of so many members of the Jockey Club, as well as the million, for whom amusements of every description were else, where provided in abundance, can easily be accounted for. The wretched character of the racing throughout the week will fully justify our referring to the issue of the Jockey Club debate on the starting question before submitting to our readers the results at which we have arrived respecting it, and which are of far less importance than the question of the day. Into that question we entered very fully last week, endea- vouring to exhibit the utmost impartiality towards all classes interested in it. For while we advocated the preservance of discipline, we at the same time demanded for a class who have no means at their disposal of having their sentiments represented in print, the same protection and consideration which their helplessness required. We showed how useless were fines, and that the only remedy to be relied upon was suspension from duty for such a period as would make the offenders feel acutely the law was too strong for them. These views, we have the best grounds for stating, were favourably received in the highest quar- ters ; and it is satisfactory to think the Council of the Turf nave at length adopted two most sensible measures, for dealing with the national disgrace to our racing system. The first clause in the new bill, as" it maybe termed, is, " That any jockey dis- obeying the orders of the starters, or taking any unfair advan- tage, shall be punished by tine or suspension, according to the nature and degree of his offence, at the discretion of the Stewards." This i3 the same rule the Admiral tried to bring in at their meeting last year, with the exception of the ad- dition, " that the suspension should not exceed twelvemonths." Admiral Rous having given up this latter point the clause stands in its original shape ; but in order to guarantee a proper amount of fairness towards the delinquent jockeys Sir Joseph Hawley proposed and carried other clauses to the effect, that no sentence should be pronounced against a jockey until the end of the after- noon on which the offence was committed ; and also that any ap- peal for a remission of a sentence must be made to a General Meeting, and not to the Stewards individually. We confess we cannot see any more beneficial measures than these could be adopted, and as such we hail them with great gratification. Bvtheir institution an owner will not be suddenly deprived of the ser- vices of a jockey for a fault committed by him for another em- ployer, and in consequence thereof be compelled to put up a stable lad at- a moment's notice, who is totally unacquainted with his horse's character. The Stewards, likewise, will be relieved of an unenviable power, and be no longer divided between a desire to oblige their friends and a sense of duty that they owe to themselves. A third cause for congratulation, also, is that for the future we shall hear no more of the cuckoo cry of there being one law for the poor man's jockey and another for the rich man's. Both will stand in the same category, whether he be a rider of the winner of the Derby or a Plate race at Hampton ; and henceforth all distinctions will be cast on one side, and the cases in which an appeal will have to be made to a General Meeting will, we suspect, be few and far between. We have, therefore, every reason to look forward to a quiet future, and an abatement of the excitement which the starting nuisance has created for the last three years, Mais revenons a nos moutons. A worse Craven field than that which came out on Monday never before was seen at Newmarket, as can be maintained by the fact of the talent thinking Camperdown was the best of the lot, whose best performance last year was when he was turned loose with six stone, beating a lot of platers in the mud at Reading, and afterwards defeating such moderate animals as Pergus and Birdhill. Therefore if Romanoff was only half as good as he looked, he should have beaten him, and it is a pity Lord Stamford did not avail himself more liberally of the odds in the market, for it is not often such odds are offered him against his own horses. The field for the next event had represen- tatives from nearly every stable in the town, and at the first attempt the winner was thought to be picked out in Rest, whose trial before Northampton made her such a favourite for Lord Spencer's Plate. In that race she was among the disap- pointed ones, but here every chance was given her, and she proved her quality by the manner in which she won. That the Sweep- stakes in which Fantastic and Livingston met would be only a second edition of the Whittlebury was as plain as a pikestaff, and the Hesperus colt won much easier than before, giving many peo- ple a strong inclination to back him for the Derby. The Handi- cap on the Ditch Mile would not have been worthy of note but for the unequivocal defeat of Beauvale, which was the foresha- dower of a likewise discreditable defeat by his stable companion on the morrow. Still, when the numbers were hoisted for the Newmarket Handicap, with the fact of Beauvale not being able to go faster than a hack staring his party in the face, as well as the consciousness that no collateral endeavours had been made to see if Makeshift was Makeshift, they stuck to the Physalis colt as confidently as on the morning of his trial, and were not awakened to their mistake until they saw him hopelessly toiling in the rear of Bedouin, who turned out the good horse we contemplated. Many reasons were alleged, as usual, for the disgrace of the favourite, one being that the boy was not strong enough to get him out, another that he could not stay the distance. This latter charge, out of deference to Yoltigeur, we cannot listen to, but we think we shall have made no mistake when we proclaim our belief that the secret of his position at the finish is solely to be attributed to his being unable to get nearer, and that he was fairly beaten on his merits. But if an expensive mistake was made in the North a similar one was perpetrated in the South with regard* to Colleen Rhue, and Bally Edmond has proved himself to be as much out of form as Makeshift, so that the Ring benefited pretty freely by each of them. To those who are fond of poring over the Calendar of the past it will be at once apparent that two more shifty animals than these have rarely run of late years. Lord Glasgow's mare was being perpetually defeated until she happened to pull oft the Ebor Handicap at York with a feather on her back, and Bally Edmond cost Mr Saxon an enormous sum in the Cesarewitch of 1861, when, with seven stone, he was nowhere to Audrey an « l Paste ; so that both parties, it will be seen, have been relying upon a broken reed. Fairwater's reputation increases every time she runs, and every guinea that was laid out on her for the Chester Cup last year she fairly deserved ; and it was lucky for those who took such liberties with her for that race that she was upset in the first few hundred yards, for if she had been allowed to get into full swing she would have given them all great anxiety. Crouch began bis engagement with Mr Bryan very well, by get- ting second for him with Watchman, and that Attaman would turn out better than Man at Arms was the opinion of all who viewed dispassionately the public running of the pair, and we are strongly convinced that " the Man'' will never forget his repeated trials in another stable. Of cowards and jades we have seen plenty in our time, both on Newmarket and other courses, but we cannot at the present moment call to mind such a striking exhibition of want of heart as that which Cassidia showed in her race with Sister to Wing. Going twice as fast as the latter, she, to the eye, well deserved the odds that were betted and taken about her; but the instant the Baron's filly got near her she curled up like a leaf, and the roar of the fielders proclaimed her defeat to those who were not in a position to see the finish. To Sam Rogers, who has at last got the pick of the great Newmar- ket stable to ride, the occurrence must have been as deeply mor- tifying as it was to Lord Stamford himself and friends, who had con- clusive proof, within twenty- four hours afterwards, that the mare, and not the jockey, was in the wrong. Numerous occcasions will, however, doubtless arise in which Sam Rogers will be able to give his employer the benefit of bis abilities, and get him back with interest the sum he lost in this instance on so weak- hearted a wretch. When Dunkeld was settled so easily for the Sale Stakes, the Ring, in the impulse of the moment, shunted him on to the down line for the Chester Cup, without taking into con- sideration the previous calls that had been made on him; and as he will have plenty of rest before the day, he may be again worked back into the betting. The Three Year Old Biennial, when Taje and Jarnicoton were out of it, came down almost to plating form, and The Ranger, who was among the darkies, had some- thing to do to get away from the others that were placed, and about whom any odds in reason can be obtained for the Derby, that the whole lot must be pronounced a dicky one. But the most sporting event of the week was decidedly the meeting be- tween Argonaut and Fantastic, in which we saw, as we had done in the Sale Stakes, that horses will not go on for ever with- out rest; and Argonaut, having been left behind at North- ampton, was enabled to tackle his opponent more favour- ably than otherwise, and his great speed was never more ap- parent— so much so, that over a certain distance he looks to have as brilliant a future before him as his stable companion Asteroid. The Derby Trial Stakes was not the race its originators wished it to become, and Stradella's easy victory over Buckstone created such a furore in her behalf that she speedily came to a very short price for the Chester Cup. The Four Year Old Biennial was hardly more exciting than the Three Year Old one, and all we could gather from it was that the public were wrong and the trainer right about Welcome being struck out both of the North- amptonshire Stakes and the Chester Cup. The winner's public form was no doubt the best among all the starters, and it is sur- prising his pretensions should not have been regarded with more favour in the Ring. Up to this time we had not been indulged with any of those startling surprises for which the Heath has for years been so famous, and those who took their departure on Thursday night were little aware of the sensation scene in store. But the French, to whom we are indebted for this species of entertainment, produced one worthy of M Boucieault when they brought out Stradella against the Leger winner. Odds, after the Derby Trial, were, as a matter of course, betted by the gentlemen and taken by the professionals ; and it is only fair to state that the latter were right in their operations, for Stradella had the speed of the Marquis every yard of the way when they were fairly in action, and beat him most decisively on his merits, leaves the Chester Cup a matter of health and standing up. The Epsom Spring Carnival, appointed for Thursday and Fri- day next, will absorb the whole attention of the racing public; and although Windsor and Cheltenham have availed themselves of the open days to bring off their steeple chases, it will be to the Downs of Surrey that the thoughts of both layers and backers will be directed. A cursory inspection of the list that Mr Dorling has issued confirms very strongly the truth of the saying, " What great events from trivial causes spring !" for had not the late Mr JBeeton and a few gentlemen who assembled at his house been de- termined to get up the Metropolitan, like the small number of manufacturers who originated the Anti- Corn Law League at Manchester, the Epsom Meeting would have been much the same now as it was years ago, and in all probability confined to one day. Now the sport generally seen in April can hardly be got through in two days, anei in fine weather the Stand is often as crowded as on the great Wednesday in May. Of the enclosure for the protection of the gentlemen from the Welshers we will speak on another occasion, when we have seen it and are able to judge of its utility. At present, some little difference of opinion exists about it; but as Mr Dorling has given out that it is only an experiment, undertaken at the express wish of the lead- ing betting men, it would be premature to criticise it in the dark. Seven races are allotted to Mr Clarke to decide upon on Thurs- day, but as those at the head of the list remain open until Wednesday evening, we shall best consult the tastes of our readers by bringing forward the City and Suburban, which has always been far more popular than the Metropolitan. The City and Suburban this year very much resembles that of last, both in point of entries and forfeits; as in 1862 there were 149 subscribers and 50 forfeits, and now there are 155 subscribers and 45 dissentients. Not having received a full return of the horses under orders, we will not vouch for the implicit accuracy of our list, but we do not conceive the following will be very far from the mark, namely, Sawcutter, General Hess, Umpire, Wingrave, Argonaut, one of Mr Bryan's, Exchequer, Beachy Head, Spencer, Brighton, Buckenham, Turn of Luck, Gardener, M Philippe, Polynesia, Queen of Spain, Charles Fox, Alchymist, Glenochty colt, Valentine, Soapstone, Jacqueline colt, Weatherspy, Souve- raine, Escape, Adventurer, Oberon, Merry Maid, Summerside, Misfortune, The Colleen Rhue, Jack of Hearts, and Jenny Wren. Of these the favourite for some little time past has been Adven- turer, the movement in whose favour assumed a stable form after the easy manner he won at Doneaster. To use a familiar phrase, everything of Watson's this season is running well, and if this colt has beaten Joey Jones as easily as they give out the race must be admitted to be over. To doubt the correctness of the trial would be wrong, when the character of his backers is estimated, and with no disappointment the Adventurer's journey promises to be attended with every success. Sir Joseph Hawley' generally has a favourite for this event, as we have seen with Gallus and Beacon, but although Argonaut made small beer of Fantastic on the T. Y. C., if begets this distance it will be more than he has ever done in hi& racing career, and therefore we cannot stand upon him so confi- dently as we might have done. Sawcutter always runs well, and will do so, but we doubt his being able to beat either Adventurer- or the Glenochty colt, for the latter has been backed for such a cart lsad of money for the Derby within the last fortnight that we can come to no other conclusion than his being a first- class three year old ; and as Catch ' em Alive has disappeared again, it is not going beyond the bounds of probability to infer that he has been beaten by the young one in a trial, and if so our hope of him would be considerably increased. Gardener beat a lot of horses at Liverpool that were backed for pounds, shillings, and pence, and to say he has escaped the penalty o£ it hers. With the ground deep, and Gardener in the same condition as when we saw him at Aintree, he will be found able and willing to take his part in the race and do another good day's work. Ex- chequer, for a horse » tacaght capable of winning the Leger, and beating Marquis and Buekstone, cannot bnt be held in respect ; still he would probably hffivs been heard of in the market if any danger had been meant with him. Beachy Head has now and then found her name amc- ag: tbe quotations in the market, but we suppose she has given way to fresh favourites ; but as no notice would be taken of Humphrey were he in at about the same weight we must discard the Lewes filly. Those who have got their books full against Baldwin for the Derby, will of course lookout for Spencer, who is hiammnt courier at Littleton; but we do not imagine the reputation of either will be altered by the performance. Buckenham, now Mr Savile has come with such a rush, seems fraught with mischief, for his running with Hurricane at Newmarket, and in the Craven Trial here, makes him bave three- fearths of the field safe. Brighton is looking well, and has the advantage of being trained on the spot, but we have an idea the longer course of the Metropolitan will best suit liim. Mr Ten Broeck's pair have been mercifully dealt with, especially Summerside, and if she comes d la Bedouin, the owner of the favourite will have eause to be nervous. Of Lord Chesterfield's lot nothing is now heard, and Bathilde's place in the Newmarket Handicap is certainly nst favourable to them. Alchymist is going very well at Epsom, and we know what a fine turn of speed he had as a two year old; but staying is net Ms peculiarity, so> we must turn our attention to Merry Mai- d, the property of the same gentleman, which can stay, and' more favourably weighted than any of the class among which she is placed. Oberon was to have won the Cambridgeshire, but did not do so because he went wrong now. His pretensions are still listened to, but we have too much confidence in the backers of Adventurer to fancy Oberon, who is trained close to him. We are not aware whether any of the remainder require special notice at our hands. In the age in which we live outsiders rarely win large handicaps, and money points out the winner more surely than the critic. With this impression on our minds, therefore, we shall take Adventurer and the Glenochty colt from the front rank, and Summerside, Gardener, and Buckenham from the out- siders to furnish the winner of this well- constructed handicap. « Fifty subscribers to the Two Year Old Stakes is a circumstance of which Mr Dorling is doubtless very proud, as it brings him up to the Goodwood form. But large as is the entry, the majority of them must be moderate, or something would have slipped out relative to their merits. In default, therefore, of any specific in- formation of " nummers " we must trust to tfle correctness of the Northampton running, and declare our adherence to Molly Carew, as the clause so often urged of putting a penalty on winners has not yet been adopted. In the- Match between Neilgherry and Don't Come Late, if we have any preference it must be avowed to be for the former. For the Inkernaan Plate the names of Maid of Honour, Miss Emma, Surbiton Hill, and Countess read well; and in the Heathcote the result will be more governed by the market than by private or public opinion. Nevertheless, East Sheen, Al- chymist, and Camperdown have not incurred very heavy punish- ment from the handicapper. Friday, the Metropolitan day, has saffered in some measure from the increased favour bestowed upon the City and Suburban, but still there is no denying the fact of the Metropolitan being the prettiest race run at Epsom. Once the betting upon it was very heavy, and commenced from the moment the weights were out; now it is only introduced occasionally, and very little done until the appearance of the telegraphs with the names of the horses and their riders. It is difficult to enumerate the performers in the City and Suburban; it is a ten- fold harder task to make out the cast for the Metropolitan. Still the following names are the most probable to be coloured,, viz, Asteroid, Umpire, Dusk, Brighton, Haddington, Sappho, Gorse, Harlequin, Attaman, Bedouin, Golden Pledge, Citadel, Bryn Gwyn, Canzonette or Voluptas, and Lady Superior. To give any elaborate details of the above high mettled racers our space forbids. Neither have we any public demonstrations in tbe market to assist us in our task, although very likely in the middle of the week a complete revolution will have occurred in the price current. We must,, therefore, rest content with detailing very briefly our current views as to the finish of the event, which is the one thing uppermost in the minds of our readers. Asteroid can never, by any chance, run a bad horse; but with such a burden on him, a place is the very utmost to which he should aspire. Dusk, if brought in the Lord of Enville's usual style, we should regard with the utmost respect, for he was always a rare stayer, and will like the course. Brighton need only be backed in earnest to extract from us a very favourable epinion of him. Sappho is the only blot in the handi- cap, and of Sappho, she will be about winning, and make up for her defeat by Parmesan two years back. Harlequin having come again to his old form, shall have our first vote, and Bedouin, even with his penalty, our second, for in the Newmarket Handicap he looked as if he could have gone on for a week. Gorse cannot beat Attaman, who does not possess to our notions quite sufficient speed, and of those that come in the list beneath him, Golden Pledge is the only one for which we have the slightest fancy, and should he figure in the fray it is our belief he will make both Harlequin and Bedouin make haste to get home. The Walton Stakes looks at the mercy of Molly Carew, and in the New Two Year Old Stakes Starbeam should shine brighter than ever. Thirsk, if we are to go by the return; list of Catterick, will be more dependent upon its gentlemen riders and their hunters than upon the high- mettled racers of Yorkshire, and therefore we do not feel justified in alluding further to the pro- gramme.

Westmeath 2 DORSETSHIRE HUNT STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards: Lord Poltimore, Hon W. Portman, J. C. Radclyffe, G. W. Digby, and C. Hambro, Esqs. WEDNESDAY, APBIL 8.— These steeple chases took place on Wednesday last, and would have proved an excellent day's sport but for the rain, which set in about eight in the morning, and continued without ceasing up to two o'clock, and then only to be succeeded by a thick mist, thus precluding all possibility of giving any accurate account of the chases. The course itself, at Waddon Yale, about eight miles from Dorchester, is mostly grass, all the fences being doubles, with the exception of a small brook, a post and rails, and a stone wall; so formidable, however, were the jumps, that, save the Irish horse, Mountain Fox, nothing had a chance with the local horses, the fences being totally different to all other courses in England. The running requires little com- ment. Mr Dakin took five ponies about the Fox winning both Handicaps, and was all but pulling it off. The most sporting event of the day was the Match, for 100 a side, between M* Guest and Mr C.

( 13th Regt) 0 After an admirable start Sir Charles Napier went away at a clipping pace, and on arriving at the brook had gained a clear lead of three lengths. All got safely over with the exception of The Scholar, who refused ; and, although he got over at the second attempt, was left so far behind that he was thenceforth out of the race. On ascending the hill in the next iield Sir Charles slackened his pace, and the others closed up to him. The next fence was a stiff post and rail, which all went at well together, tout Warfteld hitting the top bar came down heavily; he was quickly remounted by his rider, who was unhurt, though severely shaken, but had no'further chance. Sir Charles now again took the lead, and forced the running at a great pace, holding his ad- vantage to the end. On entering the last field Fairy Lynn tried hard to catch him, but was unable to do so, and was beaten by a length; Carlow finished two lengths injlier rear ; the Heiress was fourth.

The weather was most unpro- pitious, drenching showers falling at frequent intervals. This great drawback did not, however, militate against the attendance of spectators, of whom there were a large number, including many of the sporting gentlemen of the surrounding neighbour- hood, and, of course, an immense number of the military. The course was an excellent one for steeple chases, and extended over about three miles of hunting country, there being 21 jumps. In addition to the ordinary events, a Plate for farmers' horses of 10 sovs, subscribed by the officers of the garrison, was run for. When the bell rang a most amusing scene was enacted at the weighing- house. Seven horses were entered after great confusion, and when the riders were called upon to be weighed it was evident they knew nothing of the matter. One made weight by placing boxheaters in his pocket, another stuffed a lot of bricks into his breeches, a third wanted to be • weighed without his saddle, and a fourth made weight by carry- ing bags of stones. After surmounting what appeared to be almost insurmountable difficulties, they were started amidst roars of laughter.

A " Grand Stand" was erected, from which could be obtained an excellent view of the sport, country, and company.

MONDAY, APEIL 6.— This regiment held their annual steeple chases at Crocky Hill, near York, and the scene of action was visited by some thousands of spectators, including the leading families of the neighbourhood. The course was circular, and had to be twice traversed to complete the distance!; in the round there were nineteen leaps, including a brook, and the circuit, which was a very trying one, was composed of plough, seeds, grass, and fallow.

No alterations occurred until the last time round, when The Pirate took his colours to fore, closely followed by Blue Ruin and Mermaid. Blue Ruin challenged the Pirate at the distance, and the pair ran home locked together, the Pirate eventually winning by a neck ; a length separating the second and third. Smuggler fell, but his rider, with the excep tion of a scratch or two, was none the worse.

TUESDAY, APBIL 7.— This meeting, took place about three miles from Aldershott Camp, over a very pretty line of country, composed principally of grass land, with about twenty- seven fences and a brook, but none of which were of a formidable description, but quite sufficient to test the capabilities of the competitors. The weather was very fine at the com- mencement of the sport, but was unfavourable towards the conclusion, the rain coming down rather heavily. The attendance, however, was very large, and the racing of a most exciting character, but there was very little or no betting worth a quotation. There was a multiplicity of tumbles and mishaps throughout, but without injury to the riders, with but one ex- ception, that of Mr F. H. Brown, the rider of Black Bess, the latter having fell, rolled upon her rider, and, we regret to say, broke his leg in two places. Otherwise the sports, which were carried out in a most able manner, terminated most satisfactorily. The REGIMENTAL CHALLENGE CUP, value 100 sovs, with 20 added, for horses the property of officers of the 13th Hussars; 5 sovs en- trance ; 12st each; three milts and a half.

Owner 0 Major Wombwell's ch m Emily, list 71b Mr Pole 0 The lot got well off at the first attempt; Emily, The Orphan, Black Bess, and Haxby immediately showed in the front, going at a cracking pace, and when half a mile had been paced over the refusals, tumbles, and mishaps became very numerous. Trinket fell into the brook, and at threequartersof a mile from home Haxby obtained the lead, was never again caught, and won easily by ten lengths; Flying Dick was a good third. We regret to say Mr Browne, the rider of Black Bess, broke liis leg in two places ; the mare when lying second over- jumped herself at the last fence, and fell heavily upon her gallant but unlucky pilot. The regimental surgeon came immediately to his assistance, and in a very few minutes the fractures were put straight, and the plucky officer was carried off the ground smoking his cigar. The REGIMENTAL CHALLENGE CUP, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for horses the property of officers of the Carabineers; 12st each; winners extra; to be ridden by officers in the regiment; two miles.

Owner 1 Mr Smith's ch m Maid of Athens, 12st Owner 2 Mr Hsey's b m Fidget, 12st CaptCootes 3 Mr Fryer's br g Manston, 12st Owner 0 Fidget made play, with Maid of Athens, Yellow Dwarf, and Manston in close company ; in the order named they ran to the fence out of the winning field the first time round, which they all toek in fine style, with the exception of Manston, who fell, but was immediately remounted, and went on a long way in the rear. When about a mile and a quarter had been covered Yellow Dwarf showed several lengths in front, and having taken the brook in a splendid manner, came on with a strong lead, which he con- tinued increasing, and won easily by six lengths ; Fidget, who refused at the last fence but one, was a bad third. Slanston walked in some time afterwards. A HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKES of 3 sovs each, 1 ft, with 2- 5 added, for horses the property of officers of the 13th Hussars, and to be ridden by the same; Cup Course. Capt Armstrong's b g Strongbow, by Longbow, 12st . . Owner 1 Mr Fetherstonhaugh's b g Spot Owner 2 The winner made nearly all the running, and won easily by several lengths.

The former, how- ever, who was many lengths in front, came down a cropper at the third fence, his rider pitching over his head. He imme- diately re- mounted, and continued onwards, many lengths in the rear. The accidents in this race were numerous, and half a mile from the finish the race appeared to be entirely confined to the three placed, who, taking the last fence but one ( a quickset hedge, with a ditch upon the landing side) nearly abreast, all fell together in a heap, but none of the riders being injured, they were soon again in the saddle; Captain Sterling, however, was first up, and only having about a hundred and fifty yards to run to the winning post, Bryan won easily by a length; half a length separating the second and third. The others, all of whom had been in trouble, were beaten off. The CAVALRY BEIGADE STEEPLE CHASE of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 40 added, for horses bona fide the property of and to be ridden by officers of the Royal Horse Artillery and Cavalry quartered at Aldershott; 12st each ; winners 141b extra ; three miles and a half.

Godman's ( Staff) b g Muley, 12st Owner 0 Windsor, Glen Aros, Nabob, and Yellow Dwarf ran in close company for some distance, until Windsor came to grief at a quickset fence, and, throwing his rider, broke away, but was im- mediately caught by Johnny Land, and his owner soon re- mounted. During this mishap the others had got a long way in advance. Glen Aros fell at a small grip on the far side of the course, when going well; this put his chance completely out. Three parts of a mile from home Nabob, who took his fences in fine style, and was admirably ridden, came away full of running, and won easily by four lengths. Windsor, who had made up much of his lost ground in very quick time, was a moderate third, Baronet was fourth, and neither of the others appeared in sight when the latter had passed the post. The CONSOLATION HANDICAP of 2 sovs each ( post entries), with 10 added, for beaten horses ; about a mile and a half. Mr Smith's Maid of Athens. 12st Owner 1 Mr Hodge's Uncle Ned, 12st Owner 2 Major Wombwell's Emily, 12st Mr Stevenson 3 The Maid of Athens made all the running at a strong pace, and her gallant owner taking a pull at her when near the finish, for amusement, made a good race of it, but won easily by half a length; bad third. The Farmers' Plate, given by the officers of the Royal Dragoons at the late meeting at Henley- in- Arden, has been awarded to LOUTH STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards: Capt Fox and Capt Heneage.

STRATFORD- ON- AVON STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards: SirC. Mordaunt, Bart, M. P.: Sir R. Hamilton, Bart., K. C. B.; Captain Peach, Hon W. H. North, and Lord Conyers. Hon Sec and Treasurer: F. W. Hamilton. Judge: Mr Archer. Starter: Capt Hamilton. Clerk of the Course: Mr Matthews. WEDNESDAY, APBIL 8.— Since 1849, from the want of the re- quired support, there has been no meeting held at Stratford until the present year, which was brought about through the instru- mentality of Captain Hamilton, who may congratulate himself on the success which has attended his exertions. The meeting was very well attended, and amongst the company on the stewards' stand, and in the carriages adjoining, we noticed Lord and Lady Bomerville. Lord and Lady Conyers, Sir C. Mordaunt, Bart, M. P.; Sir T. Skipwoith, Bart; Sir H. Hamilton, Bart, K. C. B ; Sir T. Arbuthnot, Col Campbell, Col Granville, Capt Pawlett, Major Shirley, Capt Peach, Spencer Lucy, Selby Lowndes, W. H. Child, W. Boyd, and Mark Phillips, Esqs, & c. The rain, which had fallen in the morning and during the previous night, caused the ground ( which had hitherto been very hard), to be capital going, the course being over a fair hunting country, with no very severe fences. For the Hunters' Stakes Wee Nell was ob- jected to from want of qualification, but her owner producing the requisite certificate, with a letter from Mr Meynell Ingram, the objection fell through. For the Farmers' Stakes Jenny J ones was very properly disqualified by the Stewards, her rider having dis- mounted before returning to the saddling enclosure. The STBATFOED- ON- AVON OPEN STEEPLE CHASE ( Handicap) of 10 sovs each, with 60 added; the second saved his stake; 12 subs, 7 of whom paid 2 sovs ft. Mr E. Green's br m Deception, by Cossack, lOst 61b. G. Stevens 1 Mr Adams's or g Piff Paff, list lllb ( inc 71b extra). G. Holman 2 Capt Peach's ch g Cropthorne, lOst C. Boyce 0 Betting: 6 to 4 on Piff Paff". The lead was taken by Piff Paff to the first fence, which he refused. Deception, followed by Cropthorne, leading several lengths to the brook, at which he fell a burster, Cropthorne striking Stevens in the ribs. Cropthorne then showed in front twenty lengths, but refusing his next fence, Piff Paff drew up, but refused to recross the brook, over which Cropthorne led, closely followed by Deception, the latter full of running, with Piff Paff in the rear; in this order they ran to the last turn, where the ground was heavy, and Cropthorne was beaten. When jumping the last fence Deception pitched on to his head, but George Stevens, having him well in hand, kept him going, and won by a length. The HUNTEES' STAKES of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 30 added ; four year olds 12st; five 12st 71b, six and aged 13st; winners 71b extra ; professionals 71b extra ; three miles.

Farmer's h Curraghmore, aged, 13st Owner 4 Mr Chichester's ch m Bridesmaid ( h b), aged, I3st Mr C. Pears o Betting: 5 to 2 on Wee Nell, and 4 to 1 agst any other. Brides- maid led to the first fence, followed by Tell Tale, Curraghmore, Huntsman, and Wee Nell last. At the brook, Bridesmaid fell, pitching into the bank opposite, against which Mr Pears struck his face, and was fortunate in saving his teeth. Tell Tale then took the lead, with the Huntsman, Curraghmore, and Wee Nell in the order named; recrossing the brook, Huntsman got first over, fol- lowed by Tell Tale and Bridesmaid, who had'drawn up into third place. No change took place until near the last turn, where Wee Nell joined Huntsman. Bridesmaid again falling at the last fence but one, with her rider under. Huntsman was the first to show in the winning field, but in the two next strides was passed by Wee Nell, who won by a length; Tell Tale third, Curraghmore fourth The WELTEB CUP, added to a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each; 13st 71b ; a winner of 100 sovs 71b, and of 200 sovs 141b extra ; gentlemen riders ; three miles.

Ivens 0 Betting: 6 to 4 on Rufus, who made all the running, taking his fences in capital form, and won easily by ten lengths. Paddy pulled up alter crossing the brook the second time, and was not persevered with. The FAEMEBS' and TEADESMEN'S STAKES of 2 sovs each, with 15 added; 12st each ; to be ridden by farmers, tradesmen, or their sens : winners of any steeple chase or hurdle race 101b extra.

Jenny Jones passed the winning post a quarter of a mile in advance of It's All Over, but her jockey dismounting before passing the post to return to scale was disqualified, the Stewards awarding the race to It's All Over. Little Lady pulled up at the brook, and did not go the course. SOUTH OXFORDSHIRE HUNT STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards: Lord Parker, Captain Austen, and J. S. Phillips, Esq. Secretary: W. C. Byass, Esq. Judge: R. Shrubb, Esq. Clerk of the Course and Starter; J. Shrubb, Esq. Clerk of the Scales: H. Beesley, Esq. WEDNESDAY, APEIL 8.— The annual gathering of the mem- bers of the popular South Oxfordshire Hunt took place as usual at Primrose Hill, near Dorchester, when, thanks to Mr Byass and his coadjutors, a first- rate day's sport was afforded, notwith- standing the unpropitious state of the weather. The arrangements were on a much larger scale than last year .' a compact covered Stand being one of| the most noticeable improvements, and gave satisfaction to all parties. As will be seen by the regulations for the different races, professional jockeys had a stone extra weight awarded them, a penalty which had the effect of keeping the steeple chases within their proper limits, and giving the bond fide sportsmen a fair chance. Lord Parker, eldest son of the noble master of the South Oxfordshire Hunt, officiated in person, and took the greatest possible interest in the meeting, which bids fair to take rank with some of the more aristocratic gatherings in the country. The course selected was a fair specimen of hunting country, including of course a stiffish brook and fence, which hid to be crossed twice. The PBIMBOSE HILL STAKES of 2 sovs each, with a Silver Cup added, for horses that have been regularly hunted, & c; 12st each; selling allowances; professionals 14lb extra; about two miles and a half. Mr J. Shrubb's Mignonette ( 30 sovs) Mr A.- flt. Smith 1 Mr Randolph's Brown Stout ( 40) Mr Shore 2 Mr Ford's The Ghost ( 30) Owner 3 MrByas'sM. D.( 30) MrGiles 0 Mr Wiltshire's Waterford Harry ( 30) Mr Ellison 0 Mr Larcom's The Unknown ( 30) Mr Green 0 Mr Vincent's Sir Robert ( 30) Mr Jilks 0 Betting: 6 to 4 agst Brown Stout, 3 to 1 each agst Mignonette and Waterford Harry, and 4 to 1 agst The Ghost. Mignonette made the running at a strong pace, but on going round the second time gave way to Brown Stout, who, however, fell when near home, and enabled Mignonette to take her former position and win easily. The Ghost, who fell at the same spot as Brown Stout, came in third. Waterford Harry refused his first jump, and coming in contact with Sir Robert, put the latter out of the race, although Mr Jilks vainly endeavoured to make up the lost ground. The SOUTH OXFOEDSHIEE HUNT STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 20 added; 12st each; selling allowances; professionals 141b extra; about three miles. Mr Wiltshire's Betsy Baker ( 40 sovs) Mr Ellison 1 Mr West's Monkey ( 141b extra) ( 40) B. Land, iun 2 Mr Smith's Perfect Cure ( 40) Mr Giles 3 Mr G. Tollitt's The Poacher ( 60) Mr Shore 0 Mr Edwards's Cathareen ( 40) Mr Randolph 0 Mr Phillips's Vanity ( 40) Mr Colville 0 Mr Cripps's Juggler ( 50) Mr Whitehorn 0 Sir Tredwell's Sir Colin ( 60) Mr Southam 0 Mr Oakton's Reindeer ( 60) Owner 0 Mr Maude's Countess( 40) Mr Jilks 0 Betting : 2 to 1 agst The Monkey, 3 to 1 each agst Vanity and Perfect Cure, 4 to 1 agst Countess, and 5 to 1 agst Betsy Baker. Vanity took the lead, and retained it until reaching the green lane near home, when Betsy Baker and the Monkey showed in advance side by side, and a splendid race ensued. Betsy Baker was the first to take the brook, Monkey closely following. The 141b penalty, however, told on the latter, as, despite Land's most strenuous exertions, Betsy Baker ran in nearly a length in ad- vance of the professional. The Perfect Cure was third. Catha- reen fell in crossing the road and was badly cut. A SWEEPSTAKES of 1 sov each, with a Silver Cup added; list each ; about two miles and a half. Mr Cripps's Novice Mr Whitehorn 1 Mr A. Hoar's Shabbington John Owner 2 Mr Hatton's Master Wvndham Owner 0 Mr J. Shrubbs's Mignonette J. M. Smith 0 Betting: 6 to 4 agst Mignonette. Master Wyndham took the lead at the onset, the Novice the next in order, being a field in his rear the first time round. Master Wyndham, however, turn- ing refractory at several fences, enabled Mr Whitehorn to bring up the Novice, who, taking his fences in fine style, got a consi- siderable lead, and came in an easy winner by a long distance. Shabbington John, who refused several times in the race, took advantage of Wyndham's mishaps, and obtained second place. The favourite failed at the first jump, and was not persevered with. A SCUBBY RACE of 1 sov each; catch weight; over two miles; the winner of any previous race not to start, brought together 15 horses, and was won by Mr Vincent's Sir Robert, with Mr J. Jilks of Reading up. MATCH 10; about three miles. Mr White's Giant, l2st 71b Owner 1 Capt Jackson's Frank, 12st Capt Goodwin 0 This was, perhaps, the most exciting event of the day. Giant took a slight lead at the outset, but was unable to shake Frank off-, and they continued close together about three- fourths round the course. On entering the ploughed field Giant went further in front. Frank again waited close upon him, and they were near each other when they reached the road. Giant headed at the pasture, and won a smart race by two or three lengths. ESSEX AND SUFFOLK HUNT STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards : SirF. Kelly, M. P.; A. Arcedeckne, Esq; Capt Jackson, W. H. White, Esq; Major Massey ( 5th Lancers), W. Burrell, Esq; Major Brown ( 88th Regiment), J. Hayward, Esq ; Capt Fitzgerald, E. M. Alderson, Esq]; J. W. Shawe, Esq ( 99th Regt), Judge: Capt Nichol. Clerk of the Course: Capt Fitzgerald. WEDNESDAY, APBIL 8.— This meeting took place to- day at Bramford, near Ipswich. The course was for the most part undu- lating, including one or two stiff jumps, while a road had to be crossed twice. The starting post was in a pasture, in the valley of the Gipping, and a ridge of hills formed one part of the circle. The first item was The BBAMFOED STAKES, a Sweepstakes of 2 sovs each, with 25 added, for horses which have been regularly hunted; list 71b each ; winners extra; the second saved his stake; about Mr Chaston's b h The Despised, 12st 71b G.

A SELLING STEEPLE CHASE of 1 sov each, with 15 added; 12st 71b each, with allowances; two miles. Mr Tripp's gr h Maj or, list 91b Owner 1 Mr White's b gCoc'k Robin, lOst 71b Owner 2 Mr J D.

Frank led about half way round, the others being well up. At the top of the last hill he was collared by Giant, who took up the running into the ploughed field. Before the road was reached for the last time Ladybird came up and charged it, together with Frank. Ladybird got first into the pasture and had put on a spurt, when one of her feet caught in a small grip, and she threw her rider. Her rider fell head foremost, but was soon on his feet and in the saddle again. Frank then had the game in his own hands, but in passing the flag before getting into the straight run home he went on the wrong side by a few yards. He came in first by one hundred yards, but Giant, who was next in order, claimed the stakes, and the judge decided in his favour. Nil Desperandum, who was third, accordingly saved his stake. The CONSOLATION HANDICAP of 1 sov each, with 5 added; about one mile and three quarters. Capt Probart's Dandy, lOst 71b Capt Goodwin 1 Mr Kerridge's Whalebone, list Cooper 2 Dandy led from the first, ar. d the match was virtually decided before the first fenC€ was taken.

Judge : Mr Burton. Hon Bee: Mr H. Lawrence. THURSDAY, APBIL 9.— This meeting, which took place near Brentwood, over the Tillingham Hall and adjoining farms, was not without the occasional accidents which unavoidably attend a steeple chase meeting. Mr Cassidy's Bay Middleton broke his leg, and Mr F. Barker's Cornet broke his back ; the latter was a valuable horse, and acknowledged one of the best hunters in the district. The weather, although fine and dry, was cloudy and threatening. The attendance, however, was remarkably good, including many of the nobility and leading agriculturists of the neighbourhood. The sport commenced with the Farmers' Stakes, which was won by Tom Moody ( beating four others), and ridden by Captain White, Master of the Essex and Suffolk Hounds; who also won the Essex Stakes on King Tom, and the Consolation Stakes on Savernake in a very masterly style. The order of the course was well kept under the directions of the hon sec, Mr H. Lawrence ; and under the supervision of Mr Burton ( who offici- ated as judge), the Stand and weighing arrangements were well carried out. | The FAKMEES" BTAKES of 2 sovs each, with a handsome Silver Cup ( value 20 guineas) added, for horses the property of tenant farmers or their sons, & c ; the second saved his stake; winners extra ; about three miles.

Round Tillingham Hall Farm the first in sight were Tom Moody, Paddy, and Forester, no further change taking place until crossing the road a second time, where Maria Day and Antelope drew up to the leading horses. After rounding the farm Tom Moody, Paddy, and Maria Day held the lead to the brook, which all got well over ; Maria Day then took a commanding lead, but at the last fence but one she came to grief, leaving Tom Moody in front. The latter jumped the last fence into the winning field six lengths in advance of Paddy, who next fell, and was out of the race. Forester, who was in close attendance, then| set- to, but after an ex- citing race Tom Moody won by two lengths. The HUNTEES' STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 40 added; the second saved his stake; about three miles. Mr Vickerman's b m Baroness, by Melbourne, aged, list 71b Owner 1 Mr W.

At the third fence Christopher fell, and got away without his rider. After passing the Hall Farm Gamecock had got a strong lead, which he kept to the brook, after crossing which Bay Middleton, Baroness, and Will o' the Wisp showed in front, followed by Potten Lass and Gamecock, the others having tailed off. After passing the farm Baroness, Bay Middleton, and Pigeon were in front in the order named, which they carried on to the brook, where Bay Middleton fell, breaking his fore- leg, and was afterwards destroyed, Baroness and Pigeon going on 10 lengths in advance of Will o' the Wisp, who in the next field passed Pigeon, but failed to reach Baroness, who won easily by five lengths, ten lengths separating the second and third. Mr Vickerman, the rider and owner of the winner, on returning to scale was loudly cheered. The ESSEX STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 40 added ; the second saved his stake; about three miles, over a fair hunting country.

Brand 0 Savernake cut out the running at a slashing pace, but after crossing the road he bolted, Maria Day throwing her rider at the Hall Farm fence, Harkaway, Sexton, King Tom, and Cornet going on with the running. In this order they repassed the Stand without any change until crossing the road, where at the next fence Cornet fell and broke his back, the race being now left to King Tom and Harkaway, who came on together to the last fence but one, where Capt Sharp was thrown, but immediately remounted King Tom, cantering home an easy winner by fifteen lengths. The BELMONT CUP of 2 sovs eac ; 13st each ; the second saved his stake ; about three miles, over a fair hunting country. Mr Gale's br g King Tom, 13st Owner 1 Mr G.

After rounding the Hall Farm, Tom Moody still maintained his position, which he kept the first time round, Orsett Lass falling into the brook, and Antelope pulled up after crossing the road a second time.

Stewards: The Earl of Strathmore, F. P. Delme Radcliff'e, C. E- Prime, J. G. Leigh, and J. Layton, Esqs. Treasurer: L. Ames, Esq. Hon Sec: E. Hawkins, Esq. Clerk of the Course : Mr E, Rogerson. THURSDAY, APEIL 9.— These steeple chases were brought to a most satisfactory issue on Thursday last, and notwithstanding so many other races being on at the same time they attracted an immense assemblage of spectators, including a great many ladies and gentlemen of the surrounding district, who appeared to take great interest in the sport. The course was over a most excellent line of country about two miles from Hitchin, and was cem- prised of nearly all arable land, with twenty- one fences and a brook that wanted a bit of doing, and the fence into the road half a mile from the finish was a troublesome one. The ground was in ex- cellent going order. The sports commenced at half- past one o'clock, and the ample details given below require no further comment. The whole of the arrangements were most satisfac- torily carried out by Mr C. E. Prime and Mr E. Hawkins, ably assisted by Mr E. Rogerson, the clerk of the course. The FABMEES' PLATE of 50 sovs, added to a Sweepstake of 3 sovs each, for horses the property of farmers occupying land within the limits of either Lord Dacre's, the Oakley, the Puckeridge, or the Cambridgeshire Hunts, that have been hunted with them : 12st each; winners 71b extra; gentlemen riders, & c; about three miles; 8 subs.

Smyth ns br g Old Buckle, 12st Mr Mason 0 Betting: 5 to 2 agst Malta, 3 to 1 agst Rufus, and 4 to 1 agst Remnant. The favourite jumped away with a slight lead, with Gibraltar and Aniseed close up, and Rufus next.' Soon after starting Old Buckle refused, and took no further part in the race; and when about a mile had been run over Remnant also refused, but after three or four vain attempts he was got over, but soon afterwards again refused, and his chance being completely out Mr Edwards walked him back to the stand. Bufus, who ran very unkindly, refusing several times, also returned home. The race was now entirely between the favourite, Gibraltar, and Aniseed, who ran in very close company throughout; but, with only one exception, Malta was never headed, and won easily by twenty- five lengths; bad third; Aniseed was fourth; the others beaten off. The HUNTEBS' STAKES of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 60 added, for horses the property of gentlemen subscribing not less than 15 sovs a year to either Lord Dacre's, the Oakley, the Puckeridge, or the Cambridgeshire Hounds, that have been hunted with either of the above packs, and that have never started in any but hunt steeple chases; 12st each; thejwinner of any race 71b extra; gentlemen riders ; about three miles ; 7 subs.

Pears 0 Betting : 2 to 1 agst White Stockings, 3 to 1 agst Hertfordshire Lass, and 4 to 1 agst Honey Suckle. White Stockings made the running until they came to the brook, into which she fell. Hert- fordshire Lass then took up the running with Bitter Beer and Conjuror well up. Hertfordshire Lass continued the lead until reaching the last fence, about two hundred yards from the finish, when she came down, completely used up. A fine race home then ensued between Conjuror and Honey Suckle, the former winning by a head ; Bitter Beer was a bad third, and St Ippolitts a shock- ing bad fourth ; the others being in trouble walked home. A PUBSE of 50 sovs, given by the Herts Hunt Club, added to a Sweepstakes of 2 sovs each, for horses the property of farmers resident within the limits of Lord Dacre's Hunt, that have been hunted with them; 12st each; a winner 7lb extra; gentlemen riders, & c; about three miles.

The race was entirely between the three placed, Leo making the principal part of the running until three- quarters of a mile from home, when Remnant obtained the lead through Le ® refusing. Three hundred yards from the finish Pike, who had been waiting upon his competitors, came away, and won easily by six lengths; bad third. Cruikshank refused early in the race and returned back, and Daylight having come to grief at the third fence, soon became out of the race. Remnant broke down badly. The OPEN STEEPLE CHASE, a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, 3 ft, with 100 added, for all ages; list 71b each; with penalties and allowances; gentlemen riders allowed, 51b'; about three miles. Mr B.

The lot got well away at the first attempt, Magician, Oliver Twist, Charley Grey, Doubtful, and Playman making play in the order named. The two first- named with Doubtful, however, soon be- came many lengths in advance of their competitors, taking their jumps in splendid style. In crossing the wheat about a mile from home Playman and Orphan began to draw up to the lead- ing horses, and half a mile from home Playman showed slightly in advance. Mr Edwards, who had been easing his horse a little up to the third field from home, now sent Oliver Twist along at a slashing pace and again took the lead, and Orphan, who had nearly reached the leading horse, having shot his bolt, began to lose ground very fast, Oliver Twist continuing on with the lead. After a sharp struggle with Playman, who came with a rush towards the close, Oliver Twist won by a neck. Magician was a bad third, Orphan a shocking bad fourth ; Doubtful, who was going well until the last fence but two, at which he fell, walked in next. Polly and Springbok, who were outpaced, and who with Hazard met with several mishaps, were beaten off a long way. Thurles Steeple Chases have been postponed to the 6th and 7th of May, in consequence of the Curragh Meeting and Munster Fair clashing with the original fixture. NORWICH ( 5TH LANCERS) STEEPLE CHASES.

The weather was fine, and there was a large attend- ance. The course was about three miles in length, over a fair hunting country, the principal leap being a hedge and dyke, the latter lift wide, and full of water.

CROWLE STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards: Viscount Elmley, M. P., and Colonel Clowes. Clerk of the Course and Starter: Mr R. Bloxsidge. Hon Sec : Mr Joshua Bridges. THURSDAY, APRIL 9.— Of the hundred and one hunt meet- ings which have engaged public attention this season none have been conducted with more spirit or regularity than that of Crowle, established under the auspices of the Worcestershire Hunt, some three years ago. Worcestershire has long been famous as a hunting country, and nowhere could a more lovely spot be found than that selected for the Crowle meeting. The ground is flanked by a high bank, from which the whole of the course may be seen, and here were assembled a large number of spectators, including many of the leading sportsmen of this and neighbouring counties. Too much praise cannot be awarded Mr Joshua Bridges, who, as secretary, proved himself of the right metal, and contributed much to this delightful reunion. The Cup was a very handsome piece of silver plate, embossed with a floriated design, and surmounted by a well- executed model of a hunter, the whole reflecting the highest credit on the manufacturers ( Messrs Manning and Manning, of Worcester). The running was concluded shortly before six o'clock. Everything passed off with the greatest eclat, and, save the unfortunate accident to Dauntless, there was nothing to throw a damper on the event. The arrangements made by Col Clowes and the committee for the accommodation of their friends and the public generally were perfection, and the company left the field heartily thanking them for the excellent day's sport they had provided. The WORCESTEBSIIIEE HUNT CUP, value 50 sovs, by subscription of 3 sovs each; 12st each ; winners extra ; gentlemen riders; about three miles and a half. Colonel Clowes's b m Wild Duck, 12st... .

WildDuck imme- diately sprang to the front and cleared the first fence about three lengths in advance of Gaper, the rest showing a pretty regular tail. The race was gone from the first, Wild Duck increasing the lead, and winning by a distance, the pace throughout being re- markably smart. Antler came in a long second, heading the third ( Dauntless) about half- a- dozen lengths. At the brook Gaper fell on landing and got in, being seriously injured, and at the fence out of the road home Red Indian was cannoned against, but only slightly. Antler was at first objected to on suspicion of having been in a training stable, butthe objection was withdrawn.

In the fifth meadow Ireley put on a tremendous pace, in creasing the lead and clearing the brook gallantly, but landing rather short on a rotten bank she fell, without, however, injuring herself. Louisa was running second, but the Red Indian took up the lead and maintained it to the end, winning by about a dozen lengths, Louisa coming up second, and General Rags a good third.

Dauntless fell at the second fence from the turn and broke his back, and Jack of all Trades fell at the last fence. tone wall, after going once round, and Robin Hood followed suit at the next fence, the riders being thrown in each case, but without injury.

Topthorn landed into the straight over the last wall four lengths in advance, but was quickly joined by Musician and Pedlar, and the latter compounding half way up the ropes a splendid finish commenced between Topthorn and Musician, which ended in favour of the latter by a neck; five lengths between second and third.

THURSDAY, APEIL 9.— This annual gathering came off under the most favourable circumstances, over the same pleasantly- situated ground as that of last year, viz, at Garleton Hills, within a mile of Haddington. The weather being fine, although some- what wind j' withal, had the effect of attracting a considerable concourse of spectators to the scene of action, embracing a large number of carriages and other vehicles. Amongst the company at the weighing enclosure were Lord Binning, the Hon J. Sandi- lands, Sir H. Dalrymple, Captains Hankey, Browne, and Kinloch, T. M. Innes, N. M. Innes, C. W. R.

Johnny Cope headed the ruck the first time round, but fell a burster at the stone wall, and the lead was taken by Etoile du Nord. At the next fence Cremorne refused, and thereby lost considerable ground. On reaching the ploughed field, Johnny, whose rider had quickly remounted, came up with his horses, but again fell, and was not persevered with. The last fence in the straight run was taken by the three placed almost abreast, and a splendid race ensued, resulting in the defeat of Cremorne by a neck ; three lengths between second and third, The OPEN HUNT SWEEPSTAKES of 3 sovs each, with 40 added, for horses that have been regularly hunted, & c ; four year olds list 71b, five 12st 31b, six and aged 12st 71b ; winners 71b extra ; gentlemen riders; professionals 71b extra; about three miles and a half ; 12 subs.

Stewards : Messrs O'Neill, Carroll, Donnelly, Charriberlain, New- man, Dunphy, Yourell, and Hogan. Judge: Mr O'Connor. Hon Sec : Mr Murphy. MONDAY, APBIL 6.— As usual, this merry little meeting at- tracted a large company from the city and county Dublin, the special train on the Meath line to Fairy House Bridge, within a mile of the course, being the generally- adopted mode of transit to the trysting place. The Master of the Ward Hunt subscribed liberally to the fund, and sent his huntsman and whips to assist in keeping the course, and the day's sport passed off admirably and without accident. The Wag won the Farmers' Race in a trot, beating a large field, and is entered for the Grand National at the Kildare Hunt Meeting, but, although a good- looking horse and up to weight, is not " class" enough to win that event. Mr Murphy, the hon secretary, was most useful and energetic in forwarding the interests of the meeting. The awards of Mr O'Connor, who acted efficiently as judge, were as under :— The DUBLIN HUNTERS' CUP, value 50 sovs; three miles.

Mr Higgins then called on his horse, and shot past Windsor, jumping the last fence from home, and winning very easily by several RACING IN FRANCE. VINCENNES STEEPLE CHASES. ( FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Of the many important movements that have been made of late years by the French Government in forwarding the interest of the Turf, it is probable that there has been none more popular, or more likely to be characterised by useful results, than the new measures that have been recently adopted in behalf of steeple chasing, and which are very materially associated with the establishment of the meeting of Vincennes; for with regard to the support that steeple chasing has received from the Government, it must be recollected that although some ten or twelve years ago there did exist a few prizes from the Haras for steeple chases, con- fined to mares and entire horses, they were very quickly sus- pended, and in the meantime, so far as the Government was con- cerned, steeple chasing might have ceased to exist altogether. About two years since, however, when General Fleury became Minister of the Haras, the question that steeple chases had a useful tendency as likely to encourage the breed- ing of a stout stamp of horse was again revived, and the general seeing also that it had become a very popular amuse- ment, as shown by the immense amount of public patronage that was usually bestowed on the private speculations of Dieppe and La Marche, instantly admitted steeple chasing into his pro- gramme of improvement that he had devised for the department over which he now presided. Thus steeple chasing received a little Government support last year, though it remained for 1863 to witness the grand movement for its advancement, and to com- mence with an additional 60,000f was granted for prizes, a society was formed to establish fixed rules and regulations, and Vincennes was chosen as the site for a model of steeple chase meetings, to be considered in future as the head- quarters of steeple chasing in France. The Bois de Vincennes has the same connection with one quarter of Paris as the Bois de Boulogne has to another in exactly opposite directions, and it is said that the Emperor intends to have the former wood so arranged as to correspond as much as possible with the well- known Parisian rendezvous of beauty and fashion, and for this reason, or rather that this portion of the city, where formerly the Bastile was the most prominent edifice, should be improved and brought into notice. Perhaps with a view to remove its gloomy associations, His Majesty particularly stipulated that the new race course was to be formed somewhere in the Bois de Vincennes, and nothing could be more suited to the purpose than the site fixed upon, for it can be ap- proached to within a quarter of a mile by rail, and the distance from Paris does not exceed five miles. The course consists of an undulated plain, extending to about a mile and a half in length, and it_ runs exactly in front of the imperial farm, and the old fort of Gravelle. It has formerly been used as a camp ground, and after the late Italian war, a great portion of the troops were stationed there. Scarcely three months have elapsed since this meeting was first decided upon, and as the course has been all laid out, and the Stands permanently erected, it is quite certain that under ordinary circumstances no time could have been lost; but at one's first sight of the magni- ficent course that had been laid out, the Stands, which are nearly as capacious as those of Longchamp, and equal to them in all their conveniences, besides being remarkably ornamental in their finish, it appears really wonderful that all this could have been effected in so short a period. Viscount Talon, Mons de St Germain, and Mons Cartier have in concert been the architects, the engineers, and the comm. issaires des courses; and, indeed, so thoroughly have they succeeded in every department, that praise can be no word for these gentlemen; but that which strikes the eye of the spectator the most is the sporting character that prevails over everything, and this is more especially perceptible in the style in which the course has been arranged, for although it is not a difficult one to get over, every fence is a good one, and one looks in vain for those awkward places that disgrace several steeple chase grounds in France; nor is there any ridi- culously small fence to be found, but great care has evi- dently been taken that all should be fair and practicable. We cannot give a better proof of its perfection than by repeating what was remarked to us by one or two of our most skilful English jockeys, namely, that it was about the best and fairest artificial course they had ever ridden over, whilst we frequently heard Count Talon's name spoken of in complimentary terms, for, as may be supposed, this portion of the affair was naturally credited to him, and no person could have been better qualified for the task than the count, both as a sportsman and a constant cross- counnty rider. The sport last Sunday, which was the inaugural day of the meeting, was fixed to commence at half- past two, by which time an enormous attendance had assembled, the Stands being so crowded that one could scarcely find standing- room, and the course presented a scene that might have been compared to Epsom, for we may mention that the people had been let in at half the usual rate that is charged for entering a French course, and it really became a task of very considerable difficulty to clear the running ground, so densely was it crowded. A small troop of the City Guard were in attendance for this duty, which they performed very clumsily, and caused no end of amusement to the occupants of the Stands by their many unskilful manoeuvres. It was not until four o'clock that the ten that came to the post for the first race were able to start. Of these The Colonel, notwithstanding that he had a welter on him of above 13st, was supported by his party for some money, and was thus made first favourite, although Duhallow also carried a large commission for his Belgian owners, by whom he was selected in preference to his companion Avalanehe, who had only arrived from England on the previous Friday, accompanied by her trainer, H. Lister, and Kendall. In the race, which is fully described below, it will be seen that the contest was almost con- fined from the start to The Colonel, Avalanche, and Auricula, the three being ridden by winning jockeys of the Liverpool, and neither of them ever acquitted themselves more creditably, for it was a question which to admire most, the bold style of Lamplugh and Boyce on The Colonel and Auricula, or the patience of Kendall on Avalanche. As the race was run, it was very natural for the mare to come off the winner, for, independently of being quietly waited with whilst the other two— that are always obliged to be taken to the front — were racing each other's heads off, she was receiving 341b from The Colonel, whose performance is therefore the best, in making such a good fight of it under such adverse circumstances ; and consi- dering that the old horse is now 17 years old, the feat may cer- tainly be considered a wonderful one. The second race was for gentlemen riders, and resulted in a good finish between Snipe and Croton Oil, and then ten French half- breds, that, as a lot, were nothing very clever to look at, came together, an « the race was really confined all the way to two— Jason and Ham— the former winning easily. Before concluding these remarks we must say one word to our gentlemen riders, te contra- dict the report that has gone abroad, to the effect that the autho- rities of Vincennes intend to exclude English gentlemen from riding at their meeting, for although it is true that enly mem- bers of certain French clubs are given the right to ride there, and any other persons wishing to do so must previously send their names in to be ballotted for by the committee, we are assured there has been no wish manifested by the authorities to be exclu- sive in this matter, and any Englishman, so long as he can prove that he is a gentleman, can, we think, send his name to Vin- cennes to be ballotted for without much fear of being blackballed. In fact, all the arrangements at Vincennes seem framed on a prin- ciple to give satisfaction to every one, and in wishing future pros- perity to these steeple chases, we cannot express a better hope than that the meeting may be long associated with its present managers, Viscount Talon, Mons Cartier, and Mons de St Germain. The second day of tbis meeting passed off even under more aus- picious circumstances than the first, forthe occasion was honoured by the presence of the Emperor and Empress, and the Prince In*- perial, attended by a distinguished suite. A brilliant display of Parisian fashion also witnessed the sport from the Stands, and it being Easter Monday, and the weather remarkably fine, a tre- mendous crowd occupied every available space in view of the run- ning ground. Appended is a return of the sport. SUNDAY, MARCH 29.— GRAND PRIX DE VINCENNES ( Handi- cap) of 10,000f, for all horses ; entrance, 500f, 200 ft, 100 only if declared ; the second received l, 500f out of the stakes; the third saved his stake; gentlemen riders allowed 61b; win- ners of hurdle races or steeple chases after the publication of the • weights to carry extras, according to their value ; distance, four miles ; 19 subs, of whom 9 declared forfeit.

Auricula was first seen in advance, followed closely by The Colonel, with Baron de Mesnil's two lying third and fourth, and then came Ring- leader, Etincelle, Eigoletto, Laudanum, Pacha, and Surprise, following at long intervals in the order named, which positions underwent no alteration over the first two fences ( a couple of hedges) and the brook, which all cleared in remarkably good style, but at the fourth obstacle ( the Irish bank) Duhallow, who was pulling very hard, and attempted to take it in the liy, came down, and rolling over Palmer, got loose, Laudanum here, being also out of the race by refusing; and at the seventh and eighth fences Pacha and Surplice put their chances quite out, under similar circumstances; whilst a little further on Rigoletto was also numbered amongst the hopeless division by refusing two fences in succession. The two favourites, however, continued in front, going at a rattling pace, and both jumping magnifi- cently, with Avalanche lying off, thirty or forty lengths in their rear; and after they had traversed about a mile, it became quite apparent that these three were the only ones in the race, for although Eingleader maintained fourth place by his clever fenc- ing, he never could live the pace, and only continued a hopeless stern chase; and the remaining follower, Etincelle, kept at a very respectable distance behind him. Passing the Stands for the se- cond time Auricula was still carrying on the running, though very closely pressed by The Colonel, who was now pulling hard, and Avalanche was going quite at her ease; but the grey began to throw out signals of distress as they ran out of the ploughed land at the extreme end of the outer course, and then shutting up almost immediately, The Colonel quickly passed him, and took a clear lead; whilst Avalanche also gave the grey the go- by in the next few strides, and on approaching the Imperial Farm drew right up to The Colonel's quarters, but Kendall, now finding that he had the race in hand, judiciously pulled her back again, and followed the old horse until over the last fence, when he took her to the front, and came in, hands down, the easiest of winners by three lengths ; Eingleader was a very bad third, and Etineelle a worse fourth, which were all that completed the course. Value of stakes 13,400f. PRIX DE LA SOCIETE ( a gentleman riders' race) of 3,000f, for four year olds and upwards; 1501b each ; the winner to be claimed for 10,000f ; selling allowances, & c; entrance 200f, h ft; the second received 600f out of the stakes; three miles; 11 subs.

Gisors and Croton Oil made the running, followed by Crinoline, and at an interval of several lengths from her came Snipe, Anjou, and Harry. At the second fence Crinoline refused, and at the big bank opposite the Stands Gisors bolted into the crowd, which left Croton Oil with a lead of twenty or thirty lengths, which he continued to increase until rising the hill near the Fort, where he tired, and was soon caught by Snipe, Anjou, and Harry, a good race home ensuing among the lot, Anjou at first with the best of it, but blundering slightly at the last fence left the finish to Snipe and Croton Oil, and the former won cleverly by half a length ; Anjou was an indifferent third, and Harry a bad fourth. PRIX DE LA FERME of 3,000f, for half bred horses bred in France; weight for age; any horse having won a stake worth 2,000f 41b extra, or of 4,000f 8) b ; gentlemen riders allowed 81b; three miles ; 12 subs.

Jason jumped off with the running, followed by Clementine and Ham, and at an interval of several lengths came Tam- tam and Basilic, but the others were all out of the race by blundering at the second fence. Clementine was soon beat, and Ham continued to follow Jason, but could never catch him, and was beaten easily by ten lengths; Basilic came in a very bad third, and Tam- tam a worse fourth. M Forcinal refused 10,000f for the winner after the race. The horses in all three races were started by Prince Joachim du Murat. MONDAY, APRIL 6.— PRIX DES HARAS of 5,000f, for thorough bred entire horses and mares of five years old and upwards ; entrance 250f, h ft; the second received l, 000f out of the stakes; 1521b each; winners extra : three miles four furlongs ; 6 subs.

Etincelle was the first off, with Avalanche lying second, Campeador third, Catspaw fourth, and Church Langton brought up the rear to the Irish bank, when the leader fell and rolled » ver Count Talon, upon which Campeador took up the running, with the favourite next in pursuit, and Catspaw and Church Langton lying within three or four lengths of her. Cam- peador continued to increase his lead tremendously during the first round, until going across the plough, where he tired, and Avalanche, who had in the previous half mile been thrown into the extreme rear by a refusal, now drew up again, and then taking a clear lead opposite the fort, was never afterwards reached, and she won in a canter by five or six lengths. Church Langton headed Catspaw during the second round, but the latter o%- erhauled him again after jumping the last fence, and gained second money by two lengths. Canipeador was walked home by a short cut, and Etincelle was not remounted after her fall at the bank. Value of stake, 5,375f. PRIX DES TRIBUNES ( Handicap) of 3,0Q0f, for four year olds and upwards; entrance 200f, h ft, and 50 only if declared; gentle- men riders; three miles; 18 subs, 4 of whom declared.

The Colonel made the running, followed by 8nipe, Jaguar, and Laudanum, and several lengths from these came Dewdrop, whilst Eigoletto was left at the post, through showing temper. Soon after starting Dewdrop refused a small fence and was out of the race, and the next that came to trouble were Snipe and Jaguar, who jumped in contact with each other at the bank and both fell, the former being so stunned as not to be able to continue the race, and Jaguar only went as far as the next fence, which he refused. These accidents left the race entirely to the Colonel and Laudanum, but it was all one way, for the Colonel made all the running at his own pace, and won just as he liked by several lengths. PRIX DES HARAS of 3,000f, divided into two stakes, 2,000 and the entries for the first, and 1,000 for the second, for half bred mares and geldings bred in France ; entrance lOOf, h ft; four year olds 1461b each, and five year olds and upwards 1521b ; three miles, over twenty fences ; 13 subs.

Mastrillo ( coupled). Jason led, followed by Y. Mastrillo, Ham, and Basilic, in the order named, and at an interval of several lengths came Tam Tam and Clementine. Ham fell a burster at the Irish bank, and Jason also came to grief at some wattles a little further on, which left the lead with Basilic, who was beat on rising the hill, when Y. Mas- trillo carried on the running, and notwithstanding a very game effort on the part of Clementine, came in an easy winner by about a length and a half. Jason, who had to make up about two hun- dred yards after his fall, was a good third, and Basilica tole- rable fourth. An objection was laid against the winner on account of his having gone over the course on the morning of the race, which is contrary to the rules established at Vincennes, and this having been proved, the stewards awarded the race to Cle- mentine, who was second.

Thursday evening, April 9, was appointed for the posting of the third deposit of £ 50 a side for this event, and long before the hour of tabling the rag Harry Brunton's hostelrie, the George and Dragon, Beech- street, Barbican, was crammed in every corner, while the street was almost impassable from the number of persons there congregated, who were either unable to obtain ad- mittance or did not possess the wherewithal to entitle them to more than an outside place. Of course much of the crowd was caused by a hope that one or both of the men would show; a hope, however, destined to be disappointed, as each of them is away on a provincial tour. Owen Swift, who is acting for Heenan, was too ill to be present, but his post was worthily filled by a well- known patron of the Eing, the jolly Boniface of a large establishment over the water, who, with becoming alacrity, did the needful for the Benicia Boy when the proper time arrived. Mr Eichardson, as usual, responded on behalf of King, and after complimentary speeches had been delivered on both sides, and the old toast, " May the best man win," duly honoured, the pro- ceedings terminated. Harry's assembly room, however, was crowded with lads wot love a mill till an early hour in the morning, and we are glad to hear that this civil, respectable member of the fistic profession received such a house warming as his unvarying good conduct fully deserves. The next deposit of £ 50 a side is to be made at Mr Eichardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, on Thursday, April 16. LAMB OF COVENTRY AND HOSMER ( HUMPHRIES'S BLACK).— These lads met on Tuesday morning, April 7, at Bedlaw, in War- wickshire, at catch weight, for £ 10 a side. Neither of them is much known, and previous to the day of encounter some doubts were raised as to the gameness of the dark one; but they were quickly dispelled, fer a gamer or more plucky lad never appeared in the Eing, which was fully proved by the way he took severe punishment round after round, and when blind of both ogles urged his backers to lead him to his opponent. His condition was a little too fleshy, and his weight less by a stone than his opponent Lamb, who had the advantage also in length of reach. The Darky drew the first blood in the second round from Lamb's nasal organ; Lamb in the early rounds managed to close the left ogle of Darky, and his principal aim throughout the fight was to blind ' his opponent, which in the end he did effectually, the Darky in return administering severe punish- ment on the ribs, and closing Lamb's left ogle and damaging his nob. He forced the fighting in almost every round, but towards the latter part of the fight could not well see his man, and therefore became receiver of heavy punishment. Lamb, too, began to show symptoms of weakness. At the 97th round the ringjwas broken " in and the stakes dragged up, but the referee in- formed the men he was determined they should fight it out. The men therefore again got at it, and some slight exchanges took place, and at the 98th round Darky could not appear, and the referee decided that Lamb was the winner, after fighting 1 hour 59 minutes. The stakes will be handed to Lamb at Mr Cooper's, the Market Hall Tavern, Bell- street, Bull Eing, Birmingham, on Monday, April 13. BARNEY BEGAN AND YOUNG SULLIVAN.— These men, who are but little known to the ring, fought at lOst, on Wednesday, April 8th, for £ 10 a side, on the home circuit. Began had all the advantage, being a much bigger man. From the first he took a decided lead, gaining blood in the third round from a heavy hit on the mouth, and in the eleventh bout he also won the first knock down with a " tickler" from the right. Although Sullivan, in this unscientific but still gallant hard- fought battle, received by far the lion's share of punishment, yet he came up round after round in the most undaunted style. There were in the whole 103 rounds fought in 1 hour 48 minutes, when the seconds of Sullivan, finding he had no chance, threw up the sponge in token of defeat, and Eegan was hailed the winner. Both men were much punished. Sullivan, when he left the ring, suffered a good deal from physical prostration. Indeed, this game fellow might have left off some time before he did, as for the last half hour it was only coming up to receive a useless amount of punishment. The money is to be given to Eegan on Tuesday evening, at Mr Hinchcliffe's. Pencutters' Arms, James- street, New- cut. GANNON AND BALDOCK.— These men made good their £ 2 10s a side on Wednesday, April 8; the next deposit of £ 2 10s each is to be posted on Thursday, April 16, at Mr Hatswell's, the Old Eed Lion, John- street- road. Baldock is now in strict training at Mr Garratt's, Garratt- lane, Wandsworth. HACKETT AND HEFFERAN.— These men made a further de posit of £ 2 each at G. Brown's, Bell, Eed Lion Market, on Tues- day, April 7, and have to stake similar sums on Thursday, April 16, at Mr Miisom's, White Horse, Orchard- street, Westminster, when George Brown will take the chair, faced by Mr Macarty. Mills of Northampton and Bob Davies of Birmingham must make a further deposit on Monday, April 13, at Mat Bower's, Leopard Inn, Gooch- street, Hockley, for their match, for £ 10 a side. DILLON AND BOB TRAVERS.— These men have staked £ 10 a side this week, and are to make a further deposit of £ 10 each on Thursday, April 16, at Nat Langliam's, Mitre, Upper St Martin's- lane. STEVENS AND TYLER.— These men have again posted £ 2 eaeh. They must repeat the dose on Wednesday, April 15, at Mr Eichardson's, Victoria Dock Tavern, Barking- road. PAT DUFFY AND MIC M'CABE.— Another deposit is due for the match between the above Birmingham men, which must be made to E. Brettle, the stakeholder, on Monday, April 13. T. Bate of Birmingham and Swaddy Eeece of Bristol make another deposit for their fight on Thursday, April 16, at Martin's, Golden Lion, Deritend, Birmingham. WORMOLD AND WOLF.— These men are to make a further de- posit of £ 5 a side on Wednesday, April 15, at J. Hicks's, King's Arms, Whitechapel. POOTS AND FLETCHER.— The deposit between these men has come to hand. They must again stake £ 2 a side on Tuesday, April 14. MORRIS AND TYSON.— These lads have made their money good. They are to stake £ 2 each on Wednesday, April 15, at Mr Eichard- son's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, Slioreditch. BALL AND TURNER.— We have to acknowledge £ 2 a side for this match. £ 2 a side must again be forwarded on April 14. OSTLER AND GODFREY.— These men have staked £ 2 a side this week. The seventh deposit of £ 2 a side is to be made on April 14. BROWN AND KELLY.— These men have forwarded £ 5 a side this week, and are to repeat the performance on Thursday, April 16. WHITE AND HOLDEN.— These lads have again staked £ 4 a side in our hands. They must stake £ 4 a side on Tuesday, April 21. We cannot insert challenges from unknown men unless pro- perly authenticated. Neither can we in future insert acceptances of challenges where no address is given by the challenger, unless under peculiar circumstances. Young Gollagher has left £ 2 to go on with his match with Dove. He states that he went to Mr Lipman's on Thursday, April 9, to draw articles with Dove, but, although he arrived there before ten, he found that Dove had received a small deposit which was down as a forfeit. Unless there was a stipulation as to the time of meeting this forfeit is unjustifiable, and the money should be restored. We have received from Clark of Liverpool £ 2 10s to match M'Nulty against Dick Fellows, for £ 25 a side, at 8st 91b, in eight weeks from Tuesday, April 14; and he will give Fellows £ 2 10s to fight in the Liverpool district. A match is certain if Fellows covers the £ 2 10s and sends articles to Clark at Houghton Abbey, Houghton- street, Liverpool. As Nobby Hall of Birmingham does not appear to mean busi- ness, Millard is open to fight any man in the world at 9st 61b, for £ 100 a side, first come first served. By sending articles to Mr Hudson, Pilgrim Inn, Tucker- street, Bristol, and covering the £ 5 in our hands, a match will be made. Patsy Eeardon will fight any man breathing at lOst 21b or lOst 41b, bar his old friend Jack Eooke, for £ 100 a side; or Eyall can be on at his own weight if he will stake £ 200 to £ 100.

THE ALLEGED CONFEDERATE GUNBOATS.— Our Government having received information that Messrs Fawcett, Preston, and Co's workmen were still employed on board the screw steamer Alexandria, now lying in the Toxteth Dock, they forwarded in- structions by telegram to the Customs authorities at this port late on Thursday afternoon to stop the workmen, and allow nothing to be removed from the vesssel. Shortly after four o'clock Mr Morgan, Customs' surveyor, proceeded on beard the Alexandria and gave orders for the discharge of the men. No person will be allowed on board until the result of the inquiry, which we un- derstand will be proceeded with immediately. The Government during the present week have also been in communication with Messrs Laird Brothers, of Birkenhead, relative to the two gun- boats said to be building at their yard for the Confederate Go- vernment. Messrs Laird, in reply, formally assured the Govern- ment that thev were being built for the Emperor of China. The steamer Japan, now Virginia, which sailed last week from the Clyde for a Confederate port, had several guns on board. She is a splendid model, and was built by Messrs Denny Brothers of Dumbarton. " It appears," says The Times, " that the Government not having made the necessary provision for the deduction of the in- come- tax from the dividends now in eourse of payment, the amounts will have to be collected hereafter from each individual. The income- tax is renewed from year to year, and as the tax for this year has not yet been voted the deductions could not ba legally made. Great inconvenience will thus be occasioned^" 8 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, APRIL 12, 1863.

The South Berks Hunt dinner took plase on Monday, April 6: at the George Hotel, Reading, under the presidency of Mr G Montagu, Mr H. J. Simonds being in the vice- chair. Upwards of seventy sat down, amongst whom were Messrs R. Benyon, M. P.; 8. Pitman, the Master; M. G. Thoyts, J. B. Monck, J. Le Blanc, R. Porter, A. C. Cobham, H. Hunter, and many other county gentlemen. The usual loyal toasts having been given, the chairman, in highly eulogistic terms, proposed " The Health of the Master, Mr Pitman," who, in responding, said: What has made the noble Dukes of Beaufort, Rutland, and bold Buccleuch household names ? Not, surely, the fact that they are richer or more noble than many of their compeers, but that they mingle in our sports, share our common pleasures, common dangers. We hear their voices, behold their countenances, and hence they acquire our love, whilst without these opportunities of knowing them they would only be respected. Contrast these portraits of good old English gentlemen with the case of that man whose delight only is to rear game that he may destroy it, not by hundreds, but thousands, and who. in the pursuit of his enjoyment, destroys every fox that dares to show nose upon his estate,; reckless of the happiness of all his fellows. To him, I think, may not un- aptly be applied the poet's words— " That wretch concentred all in self, Living shall forfeit fair renown. And doubly dying, shall go down To the vile dust from whence he sprung, Unwept, unhonour'd, and unsung," cheers]. Let me add some words by way of warning, as well as what I have uttered in praise. The true sportsman is really a generous man. When I hear the stag hunter laughing at the fox hunter, and the fox hunter sneering at the harrier man, I know all is not right, and think of the patriarch's advice, " See ye fall not out by the way." The safest mode to promote our own favourite sport is by being generous to our neighbours. Another breaker I see ahead, and one which may upset the boat unless arrested, arises out of the published annual lists of foxes killed by each pack, and which has made our facetious friend Punch call us fox butchers. These tables, to be of any real value, should not only give the numbers killed, but the circumstances under which they met their fate, and the length of each run. How many would have to go into the column chopped How many would show only ten minutes'existence before hounds ? Sport is now- a- days counted by noses; each master and huntsman is allowed to get the varmint any how, and the end is thought to justify the means. I know myself of four being killed in one day— in mid- winter — and the lot only ran thirty- five minutes. Was this sport ? And yet it will go to swell the number, and be thought by those who know nought of the circumstances to be a wonderful good pack of hounds. A friend said to me the other day, " Lord has killed 105 foxes this season; glorious pack." " Excellent, indeed,'' was my response; but I asked how was it they only killed less than half in his old country. Simply that they had a worse scenting country and wilder foxes. Besides the false standard, there is a greater evil still; we cannot expect all men to follow the pursuit, and we ought not to require our friends of the trigger to keep foxes simply to be butchered. If sufficient are not found for fair sport, we may and ought to complain ; but if, like children, the cake is all eaten at once, who is ; o blame, and who ought to hold his tongue ? I may be called a bad advocate for our o wn cause ; but I believe that plain speaking, and frank manly exposition of what is wrong, lays the surest foundation for present satisfaction and future success. Gentlemen, I have now said my say upon things in general; let me speak of cir- cumstances that more immediately concern the South Berks. Our excellent chairman has spoken of the dangers of a verdict of manslaughter against the committee for permitting me to work myself to death [ a laugh]. It is true I have had 130 days' hunting, and travelled over ( backwards and forwards) 10,000 miles of iron roads this winter, but I find myself in much better health and spirits for it.| I have added 71b to my weight, and to my regret my labours are so near ended [ cheers]. For the great kindness and support I have received in the performance of my duties, and the marked hospitality proffered by all, I can but say I thank you. I will not apologise for rash and hasty words, for I have made it a rule to avoid them. A master's first duty should be to learn to govern his own temper, and to control his own impulses, before he seeks to restrain the eagerness and rashness of his field [ loud cheers]. One of the best sportsmen living east or west taught me early this lesson, and no man at times was ever more hardly tried than he was, yet, " Pray hold hard, gentlemen, you are spoiling your own sport," accom- plished all he wanted, whilst the loudest curses failed with a noble lord in another county to keep any order at all [ loud cheers]. My friend Mr Montagu has very properly said, " I think that a worse scenting season, save a few weeks in mid- winter, has rarely fallen to the lot of this country." In spite of this, we have killed the full average number of foxes after some very excellent runs [ cheers]. The want of scent, the loss of some killing hounds con- sequent upon change of mastership, the country new to myself and servants, have imposed some difficulties. These cannot well occur again. If the members of the hunt are satisfied I am amply repaid for all my anxieties and responsibilities [ loud cheers], I shall be found to do better next year [ cheers]. I long to show you the best sport ever known in the hunt, but I desire still more to carry away, when my connection ceases as Master of the South Berks, the manly regard, the kindly esteem— may I be permitted to add also the affectionate recollection— of some few with whom I have had the honour and pleasure of being associated [ cheers]. ditto, 5s; J.

THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE.— The members of this hunt have had their closing breakfast for the season, which has, as usual, been ably conducted by Mr C. Barnett, the respected Master. Press, the huntsman, has concluded his engagement with the Cambridge- shire, and his going to hunt with the Craven; he will be succeeded by Harry Ayris, jun, late first whip to the Fitzwilliam. The members of Lord Middleton's Hunt have just presented Charles Powell, the head whip, with a purse of £ 40 and a silver horn, as a substantial " good by'' on his leaving them for the Cot- tesmore, where he enters on the duties of huntsman. A silver tankard was presented on Saturday, April 4, to John Comins, who has for three seasons hunted the Craven Harriers. He now returns to his old love, and will whip in to Dale in the Vale of White Horse. A fine dog otter was killed near Thirsk on Monday, after showing a deal of sport with a pack made up from the Thirsk, Darlington, and Durham Kennels, and under the command of Messrs Lee and Hide. We regret that we have not room for the chronicle in full. Count Batthyany has just sold his stud of hunters in a lot to Mr H. R. Phillips, for 2,000gs. CITY INTELLIGENCE MARYLEBONE CLUB.

LAW 10.— With reference to the general meeting of the M. C. C., to be held at Lord's, on Wednesday, April 15, at three o'clock, we are requested by Mr Kynaston to state that inasmuch as fast round arm bowlers rather lower than raise their arms in the last action of the delivery, he will omit the word " raise" in the new law he intends to bring forward, which he now proposes to word as follows :—" The ball must be bowled. If thrown or jerked, or if on his arrival at the crease during the last action of the delivery of the ball, the bowler's hand or arm shall be above his head, the umpire must call' No ball.'"

SURREY COLTS.— The committee of the Surrey County Club being desirous of affording the opportunity to the professional colts of the county to play in the matches fixed, all who are de- sirous of playing must send in to the hon sec at the Oval, as early as possible, their names, with the recommendation of any who may know them, either professionals or gentlemen. CIVIL SERVICE CLUB.— The annual meeting of this club was held on Tuesday, the 31st ultimo, at the Ship Hotel, Charing- cross. The Hon Spencer Ponsonby presided, and after congratu- lating the members upon having satisfactorily passed the first year of their existence as a club, announced that the Office of Works had acceded to their wishes in granting to them the exclusive use of a portion of Battersea Park, which, although in a rough state at present, would, under careful management, make a capital cricket ground. Arrangements had been made, therefore, for commencing the season on Saturday, May 2, on and after which date the ground would be open for daily practice. A professional would be engaged to be in constant attendance, and the club would also provide a supply of bats, balls, & c, & cs which would be kept at one of the park lodges, close to the ground. On Saturday afternoons it was proposed to play matches between two or more public offices, in addition to which there would probably be one whole- day match in each week. The following was a list of the clubs which had accepted the challenges of the committee :— Marylebone, Anomalies, Rickmansworth, Southgate, Marlborough College, Charterhouse, Diamonds, Free Foresters, Putney Park, Surrey, and Wimbledon. ~ The meetmg j „.,' ^ , ijiruiuu » , proceeded to make several alterations in the rules, the more im- dam, a nlly to Newminster; Lady Touchstone ( DotohSam's, ton),' ^ ortant of which were, to admit as members of the <" lub gen- TROTTING. JACKEY AND MR HOLT'S MARE.— The match between these celebrated " tits," the conditions being to trot one mile and a half heats, best two out of three, for £ 25 a side, came off on Tuesday, April 7, on the ground belonging to Mr Jewson, of the Pike and Ancher Fishery, near Ponder's End, and so great was the interest, that nearly 5,000 spectators were present. Jackey had to allow 100 yards in each heat, and was driven by Mr C Bastien, while the mare, which went under saddle for the first race, was mounted by the well- known Bill Vanner. The odds were in favour of Jackey. The start was well effected, but without going into a description of the match, it will be sufficient to state that Jackey won the first heat with ease in 4min 32Jsec, the mare having broken twice badly. After a short interval the " tits" were again brought to their respective stations, the mare this time in harness, the'' lines'' still being handled by Vanner. The start was again well effected, and on the termination of the distance Jackey won by ten lengths, the course being covered in 4min 24| sec. MR BANKS'S STAR GAZER AND MR CHESMAN'S BAY MARE. — This was a trot of two miles, in harness, for £ 18 a side, and came off on the above course prior to the decision of the " crack " event of the day. The mare was skilfully handled by her owner, while Mr Izzard tooled Star Gazer. The match took place soon after four o'clock, and after a most exciting race Mr Chesman's mare proved the winner by two lengths. We have received another deposit of £ 3 to £ 2 for the trotting match which is to come off on Monday, April 20, at the new trotting grounds, Bow. The last deposit is to be made at Mr Johnson's, Tile Kiln Tavern, Hackney- road, on Tuesday, April 14. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS- Notwithstanding the recent introduction of foreign loans, the demands en account of the capital respectively required for the numerous companies brought forward within the last few months, and the increasing tendency of trade, gold continues to accumulate at the Bank of England, and the rates of discount are gradually becoming easier. The official minimum remains at 4 per cent, but accommodation is obtainable elsewhere at 3f, and in. exceptional cases even at 3j per cent. Business in the manufac- turing districts exhibits very little improvement. The foreign and colonial produce markets have assumed a more active appear- ance, and many of the principal articles are at higher quotations. Speculation in the funds is very dull, but they are fairly main- tained, Consols at the close of business yesterday ( Friday) being 92| f for transfer, and 92| f for the account. During the week there has been a rather active business trans- acted in the Foreign Stock Market, the chief variations having been in Greek Bonds, which have declined about lj per cent from the highest point attained. The Egyptian Loan has improved! to 1, the Italian Loan 1, the Spanish Passive Bonds 1 per cent. Old Turkish Six per Cents remained steady, the Loan of 1858 receded about f, the Loan of 1862and the Consolides advanced about 1 per cent. SATURDAY EVENING. To- day the Funds were a shade flatter, Consols having closed at 92 § | for money, and 92f J for the account. In the foreign market a rather large business was done. Turkish Bonds being steady, the Old Six per Cents were quoted at 87 to 88 ex div, the Loan of 1858 at 67 § to 68, the Loan of 1862 at 69 § 70, and the Consolidfo at 47| |. The Confederate Loan re- mained firm at lj 1| prem. Railway shares generally were at slightly reduced rates. Joint stock bank and miscellaneous shares remained without any material change in prices. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THE NORTH WARWICKSHIRE HOUNDS. The close of the hunting season in this district was celebrated by a banquet at the Regent Hotel, Leamington, on Tuesday evening, April 7. P. Wykeharri Martin, Esq, M. P., presided, and the Rev T. B. Whitehurst occupied the vice- chair. The chairman, in giving the toast of the evening, " Success to Foxhunting," remarked that in presenting the subscription of the town of Leamington to the Master of the North Warwickshire, Mr Milne, he could only offer a few words on its history and its results. After Mr Baker, the late Master, had resigned, many very unpleasant rumours were afloat, but Mr Milne worked hard to get together a good pack of hounds, but even then there were plenty of people who said that sport could not be shown. They had had a late harvest, Mr Milne had not had any chance of cub hunting, but on the lst of January he took the field. The first day was not very good, but gentlemanly conduct and quiet perseverance could do wonders, and Mr Milne had killed more foxes that se& son than had ever been killed since North Warwickshire had been a country ( cheers). He ( the chairman) did not pretend to ride, but he had been out with Mr Milne's hounds, and if he had killed the foxes by chopping them in cover, it had been done behind his back. The foxes had not been chopped, they had been killed in the open. He thought Mr Milne had made a good beginning, and it must be remembered that it was his first season and his huntsman's first season, and it was utterly impossible for them to have done more. Mr Milne hadjbeen courteous in the field to a fault, and accommodating in the fixing of his " meets.'' He hoped that the present Master of the North Warwickshire would meet with every possible prosperity and encouragement, and that his success next season would be even greater than it had been this. Mr Milne acknow- ledged the compliment in a brief and appropriate speech. THE SOUTH OXFORDSHIRE HUNT DINNER. This wind up took place on Monday, April 6, at the Cross Hotel, Oxford, when about 60 sat down. Colonel Fane, M. P., presided, with Mr John Greaves, of Elsfield, as vice- chairman. Amongst the general company were the Earl of Macclesfield ( the Master of the Hunt), his two sons ( Lord Parker and the Hon Cecil Parker), Col Austin, Capt Austin, Capt Owen, Lieut Thompson, Hon H. C. Needham, and Messrs H. Hammersley, Herbert, Par- sons, J. Cripps, W. E. Tyndale, J. W. P. Maxwell, W. F. H. Beach, Wynter, Sheppard, and Hopwood.— Lord Macclesfield, in thanking the owners of coverts for the assistance they had rendered him, and the farmers generally for the facilities which they had always afforded him, congratulated the mem- bers of the hunt on the success of the past season, which afforded a striking contrast to the previous one. They had killed more foxes, and had had an unsually large number of splendid runs. The toasts of " The Owners of Coverts" was responded to by every owner present, all of whom assured his lordship that he might rely on their doing all in their power to uphold the noble sport.— The " Health of Mr Hammersley, the treasurer of the earth- stopping fund," was received with great en- thusiasm, and that gentleman replied in his usual happy, earnest, and eloquent manner. All the speakers bore testimony to the ability and courtesy of Dowdeswell, the kennel huntsman, and gave a most unmistakable proof of their sincerity, for when Dr James made his usual collection round the table in acknowledg- ment of Dowdeswell's services, it was found to amount to upwards of £ 16, the largest sum that had ever been collected at the annual dinner. WOLF HUNTING IN FRANCE. We hear that the Duke of Beaufort has already taken up his quarters at the Chateau des Moulins, in the neighbourhood of Poitiers. The chateau is described as a pretty country residence, situated very centrally with regard to the country that it is pro- posed to hunt over, which comprises the forests of Verrieres- Chire, Vernon Barandeau, Chabatin, the Monarderies Nouville, Montierneuf, St Pierre, La Celle, and Soyigny. These forests— or woods, as we should term them in England— are intersected by many ravines and valleys, and they are for the most part divided by extensive plains, so that this wolf- hunting country must be very picturesque, and be well adapted for the sport. We are told' that the duke will not attempt to find his wolf, but will leave that part of the affair to the people of the country, who will drive him at first with hounds similar in character to tufters; but when the wolf is regularly on foot the English hounds will be laid on, and it then remains to be seen whether they will be able to carry on the line as with a fox. The first day's hunting was fixed for Tuesday, the 7th inst, when doubtless there was a very large field, for reports from Poitiers state that, independent of a very large train of English followers, nearly every sportsman in France has been attracted by the English duke's hunt, and that no sort of lodging can now be obtained either in the town or its neighbourhood.

NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. DEATH OF ADMIRAL CARTER.— We have to record the death o£ Admiral John Carter, who died on the 2d instant, at 12, Devon- port- street, in his 78th year. The deceased entered the navy in January, 1798, on board the Brilliant, 28, and in July following participated, off Santa Cruz, in that ship's escape from two 44- gun frigates. In February, 1805, he was promoted from the Victory, flagship in the Mediterranean of Lord Nelson, to an acting lieu- tenancy in the Leviathan, 74. He bore a part in the battle of Trafalgar, and at the close of that deadly struggle was employed, at much personal risk, in securing the prisoners and destroying the prizes. After serving for a few months at the commencement of 1806 in the West Indies, he took command of the Cerf, 18, which he brought across the Atlantic with sails under her bottom and pumps going the whole passage. In February, 1814, he cap- tured the French privateer L'Emile, 14, oft" St Valery. He ob- tained post rank December 7, 1815; was superintendent of Haslar Hospital and of the Royal Clarence Victualling Yard from De- cember, 1841, to December, 1846; became Rear- Admiral on re- served half- pay April 8, 1851; Vice- Admiral July 9, 1857; and Admiral October 4,1862.

ARRIVAL OF PRINCE CHRISTIAN IN DENMARK. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 11.— Prince Christian, with his family, arrived here at twelve o'clock to- day. The royal travellers were received at the railway station by almost all the Ministers, and a large number of the principal personages of the city. THE MURDER IN ST GILES'S- INQUEST ON THE MURDERED WOMAN. This evening Dr Lankester opened his inquest at Turnham's Oporto Stores, Endell- street, Bloomsbury, on the body of Emma Jackson, aged 28, the unfortunate woman found in a brothel at No. 4, George- street, St Giles's, on the evening of Thursday last. Deceased's body having been identified by her brother, Sarah Curley, a servant to a man named George, the owner of the den, said she was called up by a man and woman, who were going out at the door, on Thursday morning about seven o'clock, and on going into the passage, she met the deceased woman and a man making their way to the stairs. The woman asked for a room for two hours, and the man gave her a shilling, but did not speak. The man was dressed in black, and appeared about the middle height, but she could not say if he had on a cap or a hat She heard nothing of them until about a quarter- past five on Thurs- day evening. She told another servant, named Mulind, to go up and see what they were about so long in the first floor back, as they had ben there all day. She went up, and came rushing down, saying there was a woman in the room murdered. Witness then went up, and saw deceased lying across the bed with hex- feat resting on the floor and covered with blood. They raised an alarm, and the police came in. The witness said she fast- ened the room door on the outside with an asp when she let them into the room, and she observed that the window was close down, but when the discovery was made, the window was wide open. The back door was not kept fastened and a man might drop from the window into the back yard, open the back door, and walk through and let himself out without being seen.— Mr Weeks, surgeon, of High- street, Bloomsbury, de- posed, when called in that he found deceased as described, lying on the bed on her back. The clothes were saturated with blood, and her neck and back, nearly down to the waist, were one mass of coagulated blood. He washed her, and examined the wounds she had one on the right side of the throat, which divided the windpipe obliquely!; just above it on the same side was a second, which had divided the internal jugular, and at the back of the neck he found two other stabs or wounds, which had perforated the bone of the vertebrse. He believed she had been dead about five hours. No instrument was found, and it was utterly im. possible that the deceased could have inflicted such wounds her- self. It was stated that two females were in the adjoining room whilst deceased and her paramour were there, and that it was only separatedby a thin wainscoting and a door, and witness said if the w » und in the throat was inflicted first, the deceased might not have been able to scream or cry out.— The Coroner considered a post mortem examination necessary, and, in order to enable that to be done, and the police to obtain, if possible, further evidence, the inquest was adjourned till Friday next. ACCIDENT AT THE LAUNCH OF THE RANGOON. This afternoon a splendid iron screw steamship, named the Rangoon, intended for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, was launched from the shipbuilding yard of Messrs Samuda, at Blackwall, but unfortunately in attempting to bring her up in the river, she took the ground cn the opposite ( Kent) side. The Rangoon is nearly 3,000 tons burden. On the tide receding this evening gangs of labourers were employed in cutting away a channel for her. CRIMINAL ASSAULT. To- day, at Bow- street, a well- dressed foreigner, named Gieter Meno Van Walwytz, described as a jeweller in an extensive way of business, was charged with attempting to commit an assault upon Jane Clarke, a servant girl, aged 14.— The mother of the child said she had the charge of some chambers in Stone- tbuild- ings as laundress, and her daughter Jane occasionally assisted her in charing the rooms. On Friday evening witness went to the chambers, and there saw her daughter and the prisoner in such a position as to leave no doubt that he was committing a criminal assault upon the child. The prisoner, when she spoke to him, said they had been romping together, but her daughter stated that he had assaulted her, notwithstanding her cries and resistance, and that he had done the same thing on the previous evening, but she was afraid to tell, because the pri- soner said her mother would beat her for it. The prisoner, whom witness had previously known by sight, refused to give his ad- dress, but said she might go with him to his office. She followed him, with the intention of finding eut where he lived, but as he endeavoured to get rid of her she gave him into custody.— Dr Painter, the medical officer of the police, said he had examined the child, and expressed his opinion that the capital offence had not been committed, but there were marks of violence upon her. The prisoner said he knew nothing of the matter.— Mr Corrie committed him for trial, but consented to take bail. " AN INDEPENDENT GENTLEMAN." To- day, at Cierkenwell, Wm. White, aged 49, a corn merchant, who described himself as « ' an independent gentleman," residing at 14, Lambeth- road, was charged with deserting his wife. The prisoner's wife was now in the workhouse, and the officer of the parish had been for six months looking after the prisoner, who was living with another woman.— Mrs White, a ladylike- looking woman, said that while residing with her husband in Braganza- villas he became intimate with her servant, and used to take her to places of amusement, and when he returned home he ill- used her ( witness). He made the servant mistress of the house, and she was summoned for assaulting the servant, but the summons was dismissed. The prisoner then removed to 90, St John- street, and used to lock her up in the second floor room, and would not allow her to leave it on any pretence. Her servant used to bring her food, unlock the door and place it on the floor, and then leave her. To escape this ill- usage she threw herself from the window, and was much injured from the fall. She was taken to an hospital, and when she recovered her hus- band prosecuted her at this court for attempting to commit sui- cide. He would not let her return home, but allowed her a main tenance for a few weeks. This was discontinued, and she was obliged to go to the workhouse.— The prisoner denied the charge ° f adultery, and said his wife had assaulted the servant, and she was right in taking out a summons against her. He had no doubt that his wife was a little cranky.— Mr D'Eyncourt said i was a very serious charge, and he remanded the prisoner till Thursday. He would not object to take bail, himself in £ 100 and two sureties in £ 50 each.— The prisoner was locked up in default. IMPUDENT ROBBERY. To- day, at Worship- street, William Benn, silk weaver, was charged with attempting to steal a quantity of silk velvet, value £ 18, from Samuel Vandome, also a weaver, who had allowed the prisoner to work in a room belonging to him. The prosecutor left the house for a short time, and upon his return he found the prisoner with a bundle made up in his wife's shawl containing the velvet. Prosecutor attempted to stop him, took up a raaor and threatened to kill him if he left the room, and called for assistance, when a constable came in and took the prisoner into custody.— The prisoner admitted the charge, and was committed for trial. CRYSTAL PALACE.— Return of admissions for six days ending Saturday, April 4 ( including season ticket holders), 45,436. MURDER IN ST GILES'S.— A poor woman named Emma Jackson, a shirt maker by trade, was murdered on Thursday morning at a house of ill- fame, No. 4, George- street, St Giles's. She went to the house accompanied by a man, at present unknown, on Thurs- day morning, and some hours afterwards she was found dead on the bed, with dreadful wounds in her throat, and it is evident she had been dead . some hours. She was 28 years of age. It is sup- posed that her death was instantaneous, as no alarm whatever was heard, and tfc. e, landlord of the house was sleeping in the next rooai. THE BLACKHEATH GOLF CLUB. The spring medal was played for yesterday ( Saturday). Mr Glennie ( captain) won, scoring 127 hits in three rounds. Ms Buskin was second, making 128. We shall give the full parti- culars next week.

At nearly all the country markets held up to Thursday afternoon, the supply of home- grown Wheat has been moderate, but in tolerably good condition. The holydays have somewhat interfered with the regular course of trade; however, for the best samples the demand has been steady at last week's prices, and in a few cases a little more has been realised. The Barley trade has been quite as dull as noticed in our last, the tendency of prices still being downwards. Oats have been in limited request, and rather easier in those places where the supply has been in excess of the wants of the dealers. Beans have gone a little dearer, and Peas and Flour have not quotably varied. The supply of all kinds of English grain and Flour at Mark- lane this week has been very short; and the imports of foreign Wheat and Flour have not been near so liberal as of late. There was only a thin attendance of the trade here this morning, and sales proceeded very slowiy at Mondav's rates for the best descriptions of English and Foreign Wheat, inferior being neg- lected. Flour must be written in the same position. Barley dull at Monday's fall of is per qr. The demand was steady for fine Oats at previous rates. Beans and Peas in moderate request at Monday's rates.
