This company has been formed for the purpose of bringing into gene- ral use steam cultivation, which is acknowledged to be a great agricul- tural want, and one of the most important improvements of the pre- sent time. It is only since the Royal Agricultural Show at Chester in 1858 that steam cultivators have been produced sufficiently practical and econo- mical to admit of their being generally adopted. Already the value of this new agent of agricultural progress has been universally acknow- ledged, the great obstacle to its more rapid extension being the first cost of each implement. Many farmers would be glad to pay for having their lauds cultivated by steam who are yet not prepared to invest from £ 500 to £ 1,000 in a single set of machinery. The company proposes to purchase the most approved steam cultiva- tors. and to sell them to agriculturists, receiving payment by instal- ments extending over a limited number of years, or to let them for a period, and generally to supply all agricultural implements and other requisites for farming upon conditions which will place their purchase within the reach of those whose income depends upon the annual pro- duce of their land. The directors are convinced that there is ample scope for the opera- tions of the company. Steam power Is not only very much cheaper than horse power, but it cultivates to a depth which cannot be obtained by any reasonable number of animals; it avoids that trampling of the ground, which neutralises the advantages of horse ploughing; and the rapidity of its operation renders the farmer to a great extent indepen- dent of the weather. Steam cultivators can be let upon annual repairing leases, at rentals yielding a large annual per centage upon their prime cost, without any risk. The directors entertain no doubt, from letters which have been sub- mitted to them, that £ 50,000 of machinery will at once be employed, at rates so remunerative as to ensure the commercial success of the company. It is intended to purchase the company's stock, from time to time, as the demand arises; thus the capital of the company will always be re- presented by an absolute and available sccurltv. On the foregoing data the directors base their conviction that the General Steam Cultivation Company ( Limited), in addition to the en- couragement and impetus it will give to British agriculture, Is a safe and legitimate means of investment. Preference will be given to original shareholders desirous of entering into contracts with the company. The shareholders will incur no liability beyond the amount of shares allotted to them. Applications for shares must be made upon the an- nexed form. Each applicant will be required to pay into the bankers of the company ten shillings per share oil the number of shares applied for ; and, upon allotment, to make a further payment of one pound per share on the shares allotted to him. No further call will be made with- out three months' notice, and no call will exceed £ l per share. If no allotment be made the deposit will be returned in full. Prospectuses and forms of application for shares may be had of the brokers, the solicitors, and at the temporary offices, 70, Cannon- street, West E C ' ' ' FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.

The establishment of a club house on the Thames has long been con- sidered as a desideratum by the members of yatching clubs, in conse- quence of the numerous matches and opening trips which take place annually. The large number of yachts which are always riding at anchor off Gravesend, its short distance from the Metropolis, and the facility of access by railway and steamboat have led to the selection of this locality as the most eligible for " The Union Yacht Club House." A provisional agreement has been entered into with the lessee of verv eligible premises on the banks of the Thames, within five minutes' walk of the Rosherville, Town Pier, and the North Kent Railway Station. The premises, including a noble structure, comprise— entrance hall, morning, dining, and drawing rooms, billiard rooms, private dining rooms, smoking and card rooms, bath rooms, a large number of bed and dressing rooms, lavatories, & c, and the usual offices. The management will combine efficiency with economy, so as to en- sure to the members all the comforts appertaining to a well- regulated club house. Application has been made to the Honourable Trinity Board to lay down moorings oil the club house, for the accommodation of member's owning yachts. The entrance fee will be £ 2 2s, and the annual subscription £ 2 2s, but a proprietor of one or more shares will be eligible for election without payment of any entrance fee, and will, in addition, participate in the profits of the club, which it is anticipated will pay a good dividend. The arrangements entered into for the club house, complete in every respect, are of so favourable a character that it is confidently anticipated no call will be required to be made on the shares. Members of Royal Yacht Clubs will be eligible without ballot, and officers of both services, home and colonial, will be admitted for one year without payment of the entrance fee. Applications for shares to be made to the secretary. OFFICES : 10, Warnford- court. Throgmortoii- street, E. C.

Charles Oakley advised on two races only for Newmarket, win- ning the One Thousand Guineas in a canter with his especial choice, Lady Augusta, advised his subscribers from first to last, and running second for the Two Thousund with the despised Saccharometer. Thougn C. Oakley regrets he did not win both events, yet Saccharometer aid not disgrace him, for lie ran " a good- un," as he pronounced he would, notwithstanding the peppering he got in the market. C. Oakley know- ing from the best sources the horse's capabilities, aud how very san- guine his noble owner and all connected with the staole were as to his winning, confidently recommended him, and though Saccharometer did not quite win, vet his running a good second fully proved how ground- lest and unfounded were the ridiculous reports constantly circulated as to his being always coughing and hardly doing any work. And now as to the Great Northern, Chester Cup, Derby, and Oaks. C. Oakley has some good things for all these races, and is most sanguine of again win- ning them, especially his favourite race, that " blue ribbon of tfie Turf," the Derby. This latter glorious race is now approaching with giant strides ( run 2oth May), and all should get on his choice, at a capital price for investment, at once— no Macaroni will win this great race. Kemember, C. Oakley never lost this important and exciting event, having positively selected the winner of the Derby for the last ten years in succession. The following were Charles Oakley's bona fide and triumphant winners:- THE DERBY. West Australian 1853 won Andover ( sent out at 33 to 1) 1854 won Wild Dayreil 1855 won Ellington ( seut at 50 to 1) 1858 won Blink Bonny 1857 won Beadsman ( sent at 40 to 1) 1858 won Musjid 1859 won Thormanby 1860 won Kettledrum ( sent at 33 to l) 1861 won And last, not least, his truly brilliaut selection, Caractacus ( sent at 66 to 1) 1862 won For the many other " flits" he has made he begs to refer to Bell's Life. In this paper are recorded his glorions victories, almost all the great handicaps and other important races having been foretold by him and regularly published in this paper. His success as a Turf adviser has been indeed truly astonishing. The immense patronage he is honoured with is alone a proof of the brilliant character of his advice. Charles Oakley, in returning his sincere thanks to hisold subscribers for their continued support, begs to assure them that their liberal patronage is fully appre- ciated, and they may rest assured no effort shall be wanting on his part to justify their" continued confidence. To thoie who feel the want of a faithful and experienced monitor on Turf matters, let them apply at once to C. Oakley, who, irom his great experience and extensive means of procuring the" very best information stands unrivalled, llis terms are as follows:— To end of the year, £ 1 Is; six months, 10s 6d; any single race, 13 stamps.

" Vf ACCARONl versus HOSPODAR.— J. _ LT_ 1_ BERRY has great pleasure In submitting verbatim copies of his Circular on the Two Thousand Guineas, and only hopes his sub- scribers have landed a good stake, and will remember J. B. April 14 :— " To back Ilospodar is almost buying money, and, admitting his supe- rior credentials, I have a presentiment that he will suffer defeat either from an accident or from the usual luck that attends Fordham's mount on a very hot favourite ; therefore I think that ail investment on Mac- caroni for a place will prove more remunerative, both in price and the relative chaucts, than 7 to 4 and 2 to 1 on Hospodar to win." And in in final Circular of April 18 I wrote :—" I am still of opinion that the Two Thousand Guineas will not fall to the lot of Hospodar for the rea- sons previously stated In my Circular; and in selecting Maccarom to win and for a place— 1, 2, 3— 1 do so with the firm conviction that this horse's uninterrupted good work throughout the winter ( a proof of which we had at the Craven Meeting), aided by the services of the ac- complished Clialloner, renders him the most formidable and likely horse to upset the ' pot,' Hospodar. 1 admit to stand aguinst the favourite appears rather rash, but this is not the first time my judgment in a case of this kind has been correct; at any rate, 1 do not suppose you care about taking so short a price about Hospodar; therefore, put it on Mae- caroni, to win and for a place." Something good for future events. En- close twelve stamps and stamped envelopes for correspondence to J. Berry, 6. Shaftesbury- terrace, Pimlico, S.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO LORD MASSEREENE.— It is with regret we announce that Lord Massareene has met with an accident in the pleasure grounds near his residence, Antrim Castle, from the effects of which he now lies almost beyond hope of recovery. On Saturday morning, April 18, about nine o'clock, his lordship left the castle in his usual health and spirits, and went to walk in the grounds, on the improvement of which he has bestowed much of his attention. In that portion of them which is known by the name of the labyrinth, the path led up and along an embankment, and on the top of it was a yew tree, which was growing a little crooked. Close to it, and nearer the edge of the embankment, a stake was driven in some time ago, and his lordship, having pro- cured a cord, proceeded to tie the yew tree to the stake so as to straighten it. While he was so engaged, the stake, part of which had rotted, gave way, and LordiMassereene slipped and fell back- wards down the embankment, and was dashed against some large stones which were on the footpath beneath. His head came in contact with the wall, and the upper portion of his back, between the shoulders, upon one of the stones, which caused a fracture or dislocation of the spine, and total paralysis of more than the lower half of his body. No one was on the spot when the accident oc- curred, but a boy who was engaged at gardening a short distance off observed his lordship falling, and at once hurried to his aid. Lord Massereene lay with his face to the ground, unable to move, and, seeing how serious was the accident, the lad ran to the castle and summoned the servants. Dr Speering and Dr Taggart, of Antrim, were also sent for, and arrived a few minutes after ; and, under their directions, the unfortunate nobleman was removed on a mattress to the eastle, which he had left a short time previously in the full vigour of manhood. His lordship's mind was clear and collected, and he could give a succinct account of the way in which the accident had taken place, but he said that " all his bones were smashed." It was found on examination that one of his feet was dislocated and one of the bones of his leg broken, and also that he had sustained an injury of the shoulder; but the chief injury was that to the spine, which had caused the paralysis. Dr Butcher, of Dublin, end Dr Moore, of Belfast, were telegraphed for, and arrived at Antrim Castle without delay. They found the injuries to be as we have described them. Surgical aid was almost useless. His lordship was made aware of his critical con dition, and listened to the statement with much fortitude and calmness. His lordship's intellect continued quite unimpaired, but the paralysis in tlie lower parts almost totally precludes a chance of recovery.

THE UNITED STATES AND PEACE. These words seem to be antagonistic to each other. The United States are not united— they are torn by internal dissen- sions, and the portion of them which still insists on preserving the former name seems bent on being the opponent of peace. Con- ciliation does not render friendly, submissiveness does render insolent, that Government which, only just able to maintain itself at home, takes pride in violating all laws in order to insult foreign nations. We have always maintained, and no amount of miscon- duct on the part of the Washington Government shall prevent us from maintaining, that in the origin of this civil quarrel the Southern States were in the wrong, and that they wilfully— we will add, wickedly— referred the dispute, not to the arbitrement of the laws of good sense, fairness, and justice, but to the issue of war. But the conduct of the Washington Government towards its own citizens first, and towards foreign nations afterwards, leaves little reason to doubt that there had been between the two sections causes of quarrel which foreign nations knew not, and perhaps which neither side dared, for its own honour, to disclose. Certain it is that the Washington Government, professing to be a Government of constitutionalism, first suspended the Habeas Corpus Act, then abolished the liberty of the press, then esta- blished spies at home and abroad, and finally fitted out a nume- rous fleet, not to fight its armed enemies and win a glorious triumph for its cause, but to capture unarmed merchant ves- sels, and secure a rich spoil for certain favoured officers. And this last purpose has been worked out in utter defiance of all the laws which American writers and American tribunals ( the United States being then neutrals) had formerly declared to be the international law of the world. The last pro- ceeding of the Washington Government passes all bounds of de- cency. Injury has been inflicted, and quietly ( too tamely, perhaps) borne ; but now insult is added to injury, and England is either expected to yield with submissiveness, or, it may be, is expected and desired to resist with vigour. The men who guide affairs at Washington are clearly not statesmen. We will not trouble ourselves with saying what we think them to be ; it is sufficient to say what they are not. With a rich and gallant people at their back ; with an army on which no one of its many reverses has brought disgrace ; with a navy where all that is gal- lant has been done, this Washington Government has contrived to prevent its army from having confidence in its officers, and its navy from protecting its citizens or vanquishing its enemy, and lias allowed favoured officers in the one service to incur needless and wasteful loss, and in the other to obtain wealth at the cost of leaving its own commerce unprotected, and of committing felon depredations on the commerce of other countries. The worst government in Europe does not exhibit a worse specimen of favouritism and injustice. Can England much longer submit to this? No. There is a limit to all patience, and that limit is nearly reached. It was insulting enough for Mr Adams to affect to license an English vessel to trade from England to Mexico. But this did not appear to be simply an individual act of folly, for the Washington Govern- ment set up the pretence of having a right to stop the trade be- tween England and Mexico, because when English goods were once landed in Mexico they might be carried across the border and be serviceable to the Confederates. This was setting up a claim which no la w, no principle of law, and no pretence of la w could j us- tify, or even excuse. The Washington Government was bound to watch its own frontier, and if these goods were passed over the Mexican border into an American state the Washington Govern- ment ( supposing the goods to be contraband) might have the right to confiscate them. But it could have no right to do so when they were on the high seas, on their way to Mexico, merely upon the supposition that Mexico might afterwards send them jnt- Q Texas, The jar. eta> ce ti> . do se is too absurd for argument; the acting on that pretence is too intolerable for endurance. We must confess that it is not altogether foreign to American prac- tice, for when the Americans have always been neutrals they have been the most dishonest of neutrals, and when belligerents the most unscrupulous of belligerents. But this style of proceed- ing in either character may at last become too offensive to be borne; and it looks just now as if the Washington Government, to give Commodore Wilkes a fortune, had entirely disregarded the universal offence it might give to other nations in effecting so unworthy an object. • GREECE. Bo Greece is to have a king at last. Happy Greece! A youth is to be a symbol of monarchy, that is, he is to propitiate all the monarchs of Europe into tolerating the Greeks in getting rid of the Otho abomination. Well, they were very naughty, no doubt, in doing so. They were bound to submit to his " legitimate'' mischievousness. They would not submit; they got rid of him, and now they must atone fer the act. We are inclined to pity both them and their new sovereign. Are they quite unfit to be left to themselves ? and is he quite fit to assume a rule over such a people ? Whatever answer may be given to the first question, there can be no doubt that the second must be answered in the negative. He may be very sensible, and the most amiable of youths, but he is still a youth, and he must govern through those who are about and around him. And these must be Greeks.— Those subtle, active, and intelligent Greeks that, even at the cost of a revolution, threw off the stupid, offensive blunderer Otho, will only accept as a ne- cessity the unformed George. He will be no more than the link which connects tlie various parts of the Government. This is not an easy fate for him, and it will long be anything but a pleasing thing for the Greeks, But both must submit, and we can only wish both of them a happy result for their experiment. The monarchs of Europe would not be content without a monarch in Greece, and Prince William George of Denmark is the Isaac of this sacrifice to regality. Let us hope that the result to him may be as safe and satisfactory as to his biblical predecessor, and as beneficial to every one else. The Greeks must be, and ought to be, prepared to treat him with every indulgence; and if he has the intelligence which courtiers aver that he possesses, he will devote all the energy of his youth to improve the condition of the people among whom he ( or his family) has cast his lot, and by the steadiness of his own conduct to raise the morals of their political character to the standard of their undoubted intelligence. HOW ABOUT A CENTRALISED POLICE? The Home Minister has determined on " running a muck' in the City police matter. He assails the City everywhere, and fancies that he shall succeed in his assault by virtue of the pre- judice tried to be raised against the Corporation through the aid of his two daily journals. But the public do not see that, because the Corporation of the city of London is in some respects capable of " improvement," therefore Sir R. Mayne ought to be the sole chief of the police in this mighty metropolitan province. The logic of the Home Minister satisfies nobody but himself and his adstricted followers. Oh, yes, we beg pardon, it satisfies also Gen Evans, who, never having done anything successful in the way of army reform, or even maintained a good contest for it, appears to think himself a decisive authority on the subject of reforming the police of England; for it is the police of England, and not of London alone, that is concerned. Let the Home Minister have his way in this matter, and there will be an end of municipal government all over England. He avows it. He avows that he has long had this special scheme in the pigeon boxes of his official writing desk, and that he has now brought it forth to light, allured by the hopes of success which certain accidental events appeared to offer him. In fact, he has been long lurking to strike the blow against municipal authority, and now he thinks the intended victim is under a cloud, and that he may safely strike it. He will find himself mistaken. Many men object t © centralisation altogether. We see enough of its curses in France for practical men to object to its introduction here, and the students of history shrink almost with horror from the adoption of a principle of centralisation, which never has been adopted but as a sign and consequence of national degradation. There is not in the speech of Sir G. Grey the smallest ground for the proposed change, except that of the opinion of certain com- mittees. But opinion is, after all, opinion only— valuable to a cer- tain extent, no doubt, and much worthy of attention, but still only opinion, and depending for its real weight on the facts and reasoning on which it is founded— capable, therefore, of being encountered by opposite opinion, and liable to be shown to be utterly erroneous. Sir G. Grey relies much on the opinion of a certain committee, of which Sir Robert Peel and Mr Hume were members. Good men they were, but not infallible. Sir R. Peel, for instance, was for years the vehement opponent of treating the Roman Catholics as entitled to all the rights of English subjects, and also of admitting foreign corn, except first on a prohibitory and next on a sliding protective duty, and on both of these great questions he had afterwards occasion to see the error of his ways, and carried into effect the measures he had before denounced. Now, this is no dishonour to him ; on the contrary, the frank ad- mission of error is always honourable, and we, who had always advocated the two measures to which he ultimately gave his ad- herence, should, of course, be the last to find fault with him for his change. We respect him for frankly avowing his change, but the fact of the change justifies the argument that his first opinions are not necessarily to be trusted as infallible. If he had been alive his mind, open as it was to conviction, would not have allowed him, on such poor pretexts as are now put forward, to be a sup- porter of Sir G. Grej'' s bill for making the Home Minister and the Chief of Police the absolute Lords of the Metropolitan Country. We have heard indeed of men who say that the objection to centralisation is a mistake. We do not agree with them, believ- ing, as we do, that the centralisation of power is the first great step to absolute dominion, and to the destruction of constitutional government. But there is a great deal in the way in which some of our centralising friends work out their proposition into practical detail on this particular matter. They show that ( the journal supporting Sir G. Grey's scheme admits ( he fact) as the police of the city of London has to protect property of much greater value than is entrusted to the guardianship of the metropolitan police, and they say that as the City police is much less numerous, and yet the property is much better pro- tected, the centralisation ought to take place, but it ought to take place in the course exactly the opposite of that proposed by Sir G. Grey, namely, that the Lord Mayor ought to be the real and not the nominal chief of the great metropolis, and that Sir R. Mayne ought to be subjected to his authority. We object to this scheme upon principle, but if principle is to be disregarded, and if the efficiency of the force and the attentiveness ef the men employed are to be the only tests by which to decide the question, the pro- posal of these gentlemen certainly appears preferable to that of Sir G. Grey. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BALMORAL.— The Aberdeen Journal states that although the final arrangements for the Queen'sspring visit to Balmoral have not yet been made, it is expected that Her Majesty will leave England on the 12th May, arriving at Balmoral on the afternoon of the 13th, and will stay for about three weeks. The Duke of Argyll is named as likely to be the Minister attendant on Her Majesty. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WAXES.— Their Royal High- nesses the Prince and Princess of Wales arrived in London from Windsor on Wednesday morning, April 22, and at once proceeded to Marlborough House. Here, in the course of the day they received congratulatory addresses from the Lord Mayor and corporation of London, the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, the corporation of Dublin, & c. THE ALBERT MEMORIAL.— Lord Palmerston, in the House of Commons, on Thursday, after explaining the circumstances under which a fund had been subscribed for a memorial to the late Prince Consort, proceeded to lay before the house the recom- mendation of the Royal Commissioners to whom the selection of a plan had been referred, which was in favour of a large Eleanor cross, estimated to cost £ 110,000. The cross is to be erected in Hyde Park. CHANGES IN THE MINISTRY.— Earl de Grey an^ Ripen has been appointed Secretary of State for War in the room of the late Sir G. Cornewall Lewis, and the Marquis of Hartington suc- ceeds Earl de Grey as Under Secretary. Mr Stansfeld, M. P., is to fill the post of Junior Civil Lord of the Admiralty, vacated by the Marquis of Hartington. DEATH or SIR ROBERT BATESON, BART.— We have to record the death of this venerable baronet, which took place on Tuesday, at his seat, Belvoir Park, Belfast, after a short illness. Sir Robert was in his 82d year. He is succeeded by his son, Mr Thomas Bateson, born in 1819, and formerly in the 13th Light Dragoons. DEATH OF Miss KATE SAXON.— Mr3 T. C. Foster, who was well known in the theatrical profession as Miss Kate Saxon, died on Monday, April 13, at the early age of 36, after a short though painful illness, which she bore with remarkable courage and fortitude. THE VOLUNTEERS AND LORD RANELAGH.— At Westminster police court, on Tuesday, Stanton Meyrick, of 7, Queen- street, Pimlice, and Charles Pignett, of 26, Queen- street, Bromp- ton, appeared to summonses charging the former with printing, and the latter with publishing, libels concerning Viscount Rane- lagh.— Mr Poland, barrister, instructed by Messrs Fladgate, Clark, and Pinch, appeared for the prosecution ; and Mr Orridge, barrister, instructed by Mr Roberts, for the defence.— Mr Mey- rick's case was first taken up.— Mr Orridge said that his client de- sired to apologise to Lord Ranelagh for any injury or annoyance he might have occasioned him. He deeply regretted that in con- sequence of his dismissal by Lord Ranelagh from the South Mid- dlesex Volunteer Corps— a dismissal which he considered at the time was most unjustifiable— he was induced to circulate the handbill complained of, which he now saw contained garbled statements of Lord Ranelagh's before the commissioners appointed to inquire into the condition of the Volunteer force in Great Bri- tain. He was now convinced that those bills entirely and grossly misrepresented the evidence his lordship had then given. The chief mischief seemed to have arisen from the absurd question put by Lord Overstone to Lord Ranelagh ( question 1,320), which had reference to flogging volunteers. It was quite evident, in reading the preceding question ( 1,319), that the subject of flogging had been discussed with respect to boys in a public school criticising the head master out of his office, to which his lordship's reply was that he thought that such boys ought to be well flogged, and the question 1,320, which immediately followed it, was, " Would you apply the same rule to the volunteer force, and flog the men who criticised a good officer out of his position?" Lord Ranelagh thought Lord Overstone was not serious in asking such a question as the last, and answered it in the spirit in which it was put. Had he inquired of Lord Overstone whether he was serious in putting such a question, the answer would have been very different, and would certainly not have given the slightest pretence for issuing these handbills, nor necessity for the present prosecution, arising out of that garbled and gross misrepresentation of those facts. He hoped that his lordship would be satisfied with the apology now made. Mr Poland said that Lord Ranelagh in the first instance had been disposed to treat this matter with supreme indifference and contempt, but when he , found that bills without a printer's name were not only placarded about London and his head- quarters, but had been sent down to Brighton on the occasion of the late volunteer review, and that some of the bills had had written on them by some ill- disposed per- son, " Pot the thief; shoot him at the review," he felt it was a duty he owed both to himself and to the volun- teer force to put a stop to this unwarrantable attack upon himself. The circulation of the bill had already created two breaches of the peace. Lord Ranelagh had no desire whatever to press the matter against the defendant, who was very young; his desire was simply to prevent injury to the volunteer movement, and after the full and ample apology which would now be read, he must repeat his lordship's perfect satisfaction and entire wil- lingness to withdraw the charge.— The second defendant, Charles Pignett, then stood forward.— Mr Orridge observed that this case wore a very different complexion. The d fendant had h8d an in- terview that morning with the prosecutor, and had assured him that in circulating this handbill he had no ill feeling against him. The defendant, who is a Liberal, did not like Lord Ranelagh's political opinions, and in opposing them considered himself to be justified in holding his lordship, who is a zealous Conservative, up to ridicule.— The defendant admitted that he had placed him- self in a serious position, and saw the mischief into which his folly had brought him. He therefore sincerely and frankly apo- logised.— Mr Poland remarked this was the first time that poli tics had been introduced into the volunteer movement, and lie hoped it would be the last. He then formally withdrew the sum- mons against the two defendants. ANOTHER YOUNG LADY BURNT TO DEATH.— Miss Anne Kirk- man, recently residing with her parents in Loughborough- road, Brixton, was burnt to death on Monday evening under the follow- ing circumstances :— She was in theact of lighting the gas in the drawing- room, when, through its having been previously turned on, or owing to an escape, a quantity of gas had collected about the chandelier, and the moment the light was applied this ignited, setting on fire at the same moment the unfortunate de- ceased's light dress. She screamed for assistance, and the fire was speedily extinguished, but not before the sufferer had sustained such severe injuries that she expired shortly afterwards. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths in the week ending April 18 were 1,437, being 154 above the average- The complaints which chiefly attack children appear to prevail more. Smallpox was fatal in 42 cases in the last week of February, but in the present return the number is 62 ; measles has increased from 36 to 56 ; scarlatina from 68 to 86; whooping- cough from 54 to 71. The deaths from typhus were 67 in the week. The births were 1,052 boys and 1,028 girls ; total 2,080. Died at the Royal Pishing Cottage, Virginia Water, John Whit- ing, in his 77th year. He was for years the senior page of the back- stairs, was highly respected, and had retired but a short period before his decease from duties of a very active life, spent in the service of the royal family. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. La France, calling attention to Commodore Wilkes's misdoings as to British vessels, is inclined to believe that these provocations have no other object than to exasperate England and bring about war. La France says:—" At a Privy Council held upon Polish affairs at the Palace of Tsarzkoe- Seloe, near St Petersburg, the notes of the three powers were simultaneously presented, and produced a very great sensation. The Government ef the Emperor had not expected that this step would have been taken with views so completely in unison." The Journal des Debats has received a second warning. The Journal des Villes et Campagnes has received a first warning. The Pays, in an article signed by its secretary, thinks that Russia, in order to avoid giving a reply to the col- lective notes of the three powers, will answer each separately, and that in all probability the replies may be some time delayed. The Russian ambassador in Paris lias remonstrated rather warmly with the French Government for tolerating the animadversions and caricatures of a portion of the French press on Polish affairs, and the editors have received official suggestions to be gentle to- wards the Czar and his Government. SWITZERLAND. The Austrian Government has assured the Federal Council that adherents of Mazzini, in Switzerland, are plotting an attack upon the southern portion of the Tyrol. PRUSSIA. The commercial treaty between Prussia and Belgium has been adopted. In the Chamber of Deputies, during the debate upon the bill respecting ministerial responsibility, Herr Von Bismarck declared that the present was not a fitting time for the considera- tion of this measure, a time when there were material differences of opinion between the Crown and the Chamber upon the bearing of important portions of the constitution. The Government was unable to sanction the bill. Notwithstanding the declaration of the Presidentof the Council, there isno doubt that the Chamber will pass the bill. In a debate upon the affairs of Prussia, with respect to Denmark, M Bismarck Schonhausen, after showering all sorts of sneers at the Chamber, said, " Gentlemen, if we think fit to go to war we shall do so with or without your concurrence." The ministerial Kreutz Zeitung on the next day published these words as the golden declaration which ought never to be for- gotten. THE PRINCIPALITIES. Prince Couza, the ruler of Moldo- Wallachia, has been trying his hand at a coup d'etat. He has just promulgated His budget by a decree, instead of submitting it to his Legislature. So much for representative institutions on the Danube. POLAND. Two serious engagements took place between the insurgents and the Russian troops in the Forest of Kampinos, six German miles from Warsaw and Peltnesk. The latter place was burnt by the Russians during the engagement. The insurgents under Lelewel have defeated a Russiau corps consisting of 600 infantry and 200 cavalry, who retreated to Janow. Many other minor engagements have taken place, in which the Poles appear to have been generally successful. The so- called " Amnesty" offered by the Czar is justly looked on as an insult, and has considerably strengthened the insurgent cause. Count Sigismund Wielopolski has been requested to send in his resignation, as is reported, on account of the challenge he sent to Prince Napoleon. It is ru- moured in official quarters that the elder Count Wielopolski has requested leave to resign liis post, owing to a disagreement with General Berg. ITALY. The Chamber has voted a gratuity and a pension to the late Minister Farini, who is seriously ill, and wluse great services have been fitly remembered by his country. The King has paid a visit to Iiicasoli at his country house. DENMARK, The Rigsraad ( Legislative Assembly for Denmark- Schleswig) was opened. The speech from the throne adverted to the mar- riage of the Princess Alexandra, and the marks of attachment, and joy which that auspicious event had called forth among loyal sub- jects. His Majesty expected that the Rigsraad would vote her royal highness a dowry. The speech next stated that the royal proclamation of the 30th of March had encountered opposition from the great powers of Germany, but that the Government of the King would not allow itself to be led astray by that circum- stance from the intentions it had expressed. The bills about to be laid before the Rigsraad concerned Denmark- Schleswig, and not Holstein, except in cases where the contrary was distinctly stated. The speech farther notified that a new Customs Bill was about to be submitted fo the Rigsraad, and in case of its passing would also be laid before the Holstein Diet. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOLLAND. The General Commercial and Industrial Company, formed here with a capital of 40,000,000 florins, by the concurrence of the lead- ing financiers of Holland and Belgium, the companies of Messrs Periere of Paris, and the Credit Mobilier of Paris, Madrid, and Turin, the statutes of which have been sanctioned by the Govern- ment, has been definitively constituted. GREECE. The Bavarian Gazette publishes in its official part a note which says that confidence in the guaranteed rights of the Bavarian dynasty has prevented any protest, hitherto, but that the candi- dature of the Prince of Denmark requires that the silence thus far observed should be broken. A circular has, it is said, been ad- dressed to all the representatives for the purpose of preserving the rights guaranteed by treaties to the Bavarian dynasty while protesting against every act which can prejudice those rights. A Copenhagen correspondent states that one of the conditions of Prince William's acceptance of the throne of Greece is that in religious matters his heirs shall not be brought up in any other faith than that of their father. The Berlingske Tidente officially announces that Prince Christian has had a long interview with Sir A. Paget, the British Minister, at which his royal highness declared that the only obstacles which had hitherto opposed the acceptance of the Crown of Greece, namely, the abdication of King Otho [ the Bavarian Gazette seems to contradict this] and the state of the Greek finances, having been now fully removed, he definitively accepted it for his son, Prince William. AMERICA. The Secretary of the Treasury has issued stringent orders re- garding commercial intercourse with the insurrectionary states. The purchase of cotton with gold is forbidden, and military offi- cers are forbidden to trade. A democratic meeting has been held, at which resolutions were passed denouncing the Administration, declaring the war, as now conducted, a failure, and demanding peace. The Administration could not conquer the South if it would, and would not if it could. Therefore the democracy favoured peace and conciliation as the only means to restore the Union, and demanded a change of measures, not for separation but for restoration. Confederate cavalry deserters arrived at For- tress Monroe state that the shortness of food was the cause of their desertion ; that their troops cannot endure the want of food and clothing much longer, and for that reason Richmond is soon to be evacuated.— There have been bread riots at Richmond. The Washington correspondent of the New York Times says:—" The mail by the British steamer, expected here with considerable anxiety, did not arrive. It is needless to disguise the fact that, to some of the most prudent and in- telligent statesmen connected with the Government, our rela- tions with Great Britain seem to be more precarious than they have at any time been since the Trent affair." The Confederates under Generals Hill and Pettigrew, 10,000 strong, have surrounded Washington, North Carolina, which is occupied by the Federal force under General Poster, variously estimated at from 2,000 to 4,000 strong. The Confederates have erected a battery five miles below Washington, commanding the channel between that place and Newbern, thus cutting off the Federal communications with Newbern. General Hill has notified General Foster to remove the women and children, as he was going to shell the city. The siege of Charleston commenced on the 7th inst. At two o'clock in the afternoon of that day nine Federal Monitors opened fire on Port Sumter, at a distance of 3,000 yards. At four o'clock the Ironsides and the Keokuk withdrew from the engagement, ap- parently disabled. A Confederate despatch of the 8th reports that the Keokuk was sunk on the beach off Morris Island, and that there seemed no disposition on the part of the Federals to renew the conflict. Richmond papers of April 10 contain despatches from Charleston up to nine o'clock on Thursday morning, April 9. They report that seven Federal Monitors were still within the bar, but that all was quiet. The Keokuk was sunk in sight of the city, and articles from her had drifted ashore. The contrivance for removing the torpedoes had also drifted to the beach. The Confederates admit a loss of one killed and five wounded in Port Sumter. THE EARL OF CARDIGAN AND THE LIGHT CAVALRY CHARGE AT BALAKLAVA.— In tlie Queen's Bench, on Thursday, MrBovill, Q. C., with whom was Mr Garth, applied on behalf of the noble and gallant general the Earl of Cardigan for a rule calling upon the Hon Lieut- Col Somerset Talbot Caithorpe, who served in the Crimean war, and who has written a book entitled Letters from Head- quarters; the Realities of the War in the Crimea, by an Officer on the Staff, to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against him for a libel reflecting upon, and calculated, if uncontradicted, to reflect upon and prove injurious to the military reputation of the noble and gallant general. The libel complained of was contained in the description of the attack by the Light Cavalry Brigade, under the command of the Earl of Cardigan, upon the Russian batteries at Balaklava, in which the noble earl contended that his military character and honour had been impeached by its being stated that he did not take his bri- gade through the battery, but that on " coming up to the bat- tery ( as he afterwards himself described it), a gun was fired close to him, and for a moment he thought his leg was gone. Such was not the case, as he remained unhurt; however, his horse took fright, swerved round, and galloped off with him to the rear, passing on the way by the 4t, h Light Dragoons and 8th Hussars before those regiments got up to the battery." Earl Cardigan, after the first edition of the work, called the author's attention to the above erroneous statement, and in the second edition, without altering the original text, he published a notice, in which he simply stated that no doubt the statement that his horse ran away with him was erroneous. In a third edition he still retained the objectionable passage, with a similar note. Mr Kinglake's recent work on the Crimea had again called attention to the events there, and the noble earl found that these calumnies in reference to the charge at Balaklava were being freely spoken about in pub- lic society. In February he called upon the author to stop the publication of the work, or expunge the objectionable passage, but he declined to do so, and he therefore felt bound to make the present application. The learned gentleman referred to and quoted largely from affidavits, which he put in in support of his motion, deposing that there had been much misapprehension and misrepresentation on the subject of the light cavalry charge at Balaklava, and in support of the manner in which the Earl of Cardigan led the charge, and concluded, after much discussion, in submitting that he was entitled to a rule.— The court granted a rule nisi. BOAT ACCIDENT AND Loss OF SEVEN LIVES.— A most melan- choly catastrophe occurred in the parish of Assynt on Tuesday, April 21. This being the time when a great number of the people have to go a considerable distance in boats to secure the seaweed for manure for potato planting, which in former times was at- H0USE OF LORDS. MONDAY— THE ORPHEUS.— Lord ELLENBOROUGIT, in re ferring to the loss of the Orpheus, asked the Duke of Somerset what steps were taken to inform the Admiralty of shifting shoals and banks on foreign stations, and by what means the informa- tion, when supplied, was disseminated.— The Duke of SOMERSET stated that all masters of Her Majesty's ships had to report the discovery of any new rock or shoal to the Secretary of the Admi- ralty. Information on such points was also received from colonial governors, consuls, harbour masters, merchant captains, and the Hydrographic Office, and, if considered authentic, it was printed and circulated for the benefit of all navigators. He added certain details connected with the charts used by the Orpheus. LORD ELPHINSTONE.— Lord HAKDWICKE, in drawing the attention of the house to Courts of Inquiry in Her Majesty's service, strongly stigmatised the treatment of Lord Elphinstone by the Admiralty, and vindicated the conduct of that officer from the censure passed on him on the occasion of the Vigilant, when under his command, being run upon the Gunfleet Sand.— The Duke of SOMERSET stated that the Board of Admiralty consider- ing that the running of the Vigilant on so well known a shoal as the Gunfleet Sand in broad daylight was a gross blunder and a gross case of neglect, had in consequence, after due inquiry, cen- sured Lord Elphinstone. They had not refused to grant Lord El- phinstone a court- martial, but had sent him the evidence on which their censure was based, and left him the option, after its perusal, of reiterating hisdemand; but this Lord Elphinstone had not done. In conclusion, he defended the course pursued by the Admiralty.— Lord HARDWICKE said he did not wish to have brought down a fresh censure on Lord Elphinstone, but to have extracted an opi- nion as to the capacity of such tribunals as courts of inquiry. Had he known that such a course would have been adopted by the puke of Somerset he would not have brought for ward the sub- ject.— Lord GRANVILLE considered that not the slightest case had been made against the Admiralty, and that Lord Elphinstone had been worse treated by the zeal of his iriends, who had compelled the First Lord of the Admiralty to reiterate the censure, than by the Admiralty itself.— Lord DERBY thought it was contrary to all ideas of British justice to try, condemn, and censure an officer without giving him the opportunity of defending himself. Lord Elphinstone had been hardly dealt with, and in a manner con- trary to the dictates of British justice.— Lord RUSSELL said Lord Elphinstone had himself refused a court martial, after reading the evidence taken before the Court of Inquiry, and that the Admiralty were blameless in the matter.— The subject then dropped. On Tuesday nothing of importance took place. THURSDAY- AMERICAN CRUISERS AND BRITISH MERCHANT SHIPS.— Lord CLANRICARDE drew the attention of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to the seizure of Eng- lish merchant ships in the West Indian waters by American cruisers, and particularly referred to the recent case of the Dol- phin. He asked whether the Government had received any offi- cial information of the capture of that vessel when engaged in legitimate trade between Liverpool and Nassau, strongly urging that this could not be overlooked as an isolated case, taking place as it did on the station under the command of Commodore Wilkes. He also wished to know what course had been adopted by the Government in regard to the assumption by Mr Adams of grant- ing certificates to British ships trading to neutral ports. He re- ferred in conclusion to the case of the Sea Queen, and insisted that, instead of withdrawing the mails and refusing a mail agent to the owners of the vessel, strong reinforcements aught to have been sent to the West Indian squadron, with orders to the English admiral on that station to protect British interests. It was in the interests of peace that he advocated such a course, and in the interests of British trade, which had already begun to suffer from the arbitrary acts of the American navy.— Lord RUSSELL, in reply, objected to the conclusions of Lord Clanricarde, drawn as they were from no official information, but from flying rumours and reports. It was our duty in these cases not to take any proceedings without first referring to the law officers of the Crown as to the character of the seizure complained of. On consultation with the legal advisers of the Crown, they stated that on a prima facie view there were no grounds for the seizure of the Dolphin, but that there might be facts which afforded reasons for sending her before a prize court. On two points, however, there was rio doubt that the American cruiser was in the wrong— first, in respect to an unneutral use of a neu- tral port by a belligerent; and, secondly, for landing the crew on neutral territory. He intended to bring these matters by the next mail to the notice of the Government of the United States, and he had no doubt, from precedents, that the United States Government would readily make reparation if a wrong had been done. Passing on to Mr Adams's assumption of granting certifi- cates to British ships, and his letter on the subject, he stigmatised it as a most unwarrantable conduct in a diplomatic agent, and expressed hi3 intention of bringing Mr Adams's conduct before the United States Government. He explained and vindicated the policy adopted by the Government in regard to the Sea Queen, and impressed on the house the necessity of taking a calm view on matters of such grave consideration, and not of at once jump- ing to the conclusion that the United States would fail in their duty to a friendly power. The Government could not adopt the recommendation of Lord Clanricarde of sending ships of war to prevent the molestation of vessels which might be carrying contraband of war or be about to break a blockade. This country would rather be bound by the decisions of Lord Stoweil, which, being delivered when we were bellige- rents, were rather adverse than otherwise to neutrals. By s © doing we should give the best guarantee of our desire to act justly and to preserve peace.— Lord CARNARVON expressed his sur- prise at the position laid down by Lord Russell, which seemed to imply that American cruisers had a right to interfere with British vessels sailing to neutral ports, open Her Majesty's mails, and condemn ships by means of evidence derived from letters so ob- tained.— Lord RUSSELL said he intended to imply nothing of the kind. Mr Seward had in a despatch disclaimed any such rights. — Lord DERBY thought the Government ought not to have with- drawn the mail bags from the Sea Queen, but have afforded her every protection instead.— Lord GREY did not think it just or reasonable that British vessels sailing to neutral ports, and, as such, at liberty to carry even contraband of war to neutral points, should be deprived of their right to security. He hoped the Go- vernment would see that reparation was made, and insist that belligerent rights were for the future properly exercised.— Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY briefly explained the difference between mail vessels and those carrying only occasional letters, & c, and referred to the case of the Sea Queen. The subject then dropped. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY— GAOL CHAPLAINS.— Sir G. GREY, in moving the second reading of the Prison Ministers'. Bill, without entering into all the details of the measure, adverted to the main facts upon which it was founded and to its principal provisions. The bill, he said, did not raise a question as to any form of religious belief, nor introduce any principle injurious to the maintenance of Protestant doctrines ; it merely extended a principle adopted by the house to a large body of our fellow- subjects— Roman Catholic prisoners— of whom there was a very large number in the county and borough prisons of England and Scotland. After explaining the state of the existing law and practice, and observing that in Ireland, in every prison, there was a paid Protestant chaplain, even though the prison did not contain a single Protestant prisoner, he proceeded to explain the provi- sions of the bill, which empowered the local authorities ( the Court of Quarter Sessions) to appoint Roman Catholic chaplains in prisons, with a reasonable rumuneration, and to remove them. — Mr H. GORE LANGTON moved to defer the second reading for six months. He objected to the title of the bill, which was intended exclusively for the benefit of Roman Catholics, ignoring Protestant Dissenters. The measure, he contended, was uncalled for and unnecessary; Roman Catholic prisoners might at present be visited by their priests if they required it. But he objected to the principle involved in it, which would sanction the appoint- ment of a Roman Catholic priest in every prison in the country. — A long discussion ensued, and on a division the second reading was carried by 152 to 122. THE ASSURANCE REGISTRATION ( IRELAND) BILL was read a second time, and the house adjourned. TUESDAY— THE CITY AND METROPOLITAN POLICE. — Sir G. GREY moved for leave to bring in a bill for the amalga- mation of the City of London Police with the Metropolitan Police. He obseived that this was not a new question, and that the result of inquiries had shown a remarkable unanimity of opinion. The measure he was about to propose was not founded upon what had occurred on the 7th of March, though the mis- management or want of management upon that occasion proved that the opinions he had referred to were not theoretical, but were confirmed by facts. He read extracts from the reports of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the Municipal Corporations, and of the committee of that house into the operation of the Metropolitan Police in 1838, both concurring in the opinion that the police of the metropolis should be placed under one head, subject to the authority of the Secretary of State. He read like- wise an extract from the report of the Commissioners of Inquiry into the Corporation of the City of London in 1854, who came to a similar conclusion in favour of a combined system; all these authorities feeling that the city of London now formed only a small portion of that great area which constituted the metropolis. Adverting to the powers of re- sistance possessed by the Corporation of London when an attempt was made upon its supposed rights, he expressed a hope that the house would not be influenced thereby, but would exercise its own judgment, and consider whether the measure would conduce to the general interests of the public.— Mr CRAW- FORD said it was not his intention to ask the house then to ex- press an opinion upon the bill, but upon the motion for the second reading he should move to defer it for six months.— Alder- man SIDNEY protested against a standing army of police in the kingdom under the authority of a Secretary of State. The city cost the country nothing for its police, and he wanted to know what was the reason of this great alteration, for which Sir G. Grey had assigned only the diminutive area of the city, the popu- lation of which was not, however, to be measured by the number of its actual residents. The bill would raise a question in every city and borough in the country, which would perceive that it was one that effected their own interests. The measure would be flagrantly inconsistent unless it were applied to Manchester, and, if it was applied, it would be repugnant to the principle of local self- government.— The LORD MAYOR considered that a more un- constitutional proposition than this had never been introduced into the house; it would place, he said, 10,000 armed men under the control of the Secretary of State. Mr NORRIS and Sir G. BOWYER spoke against the proposed measure, and in favour of the City's retention of its police jurisdiction.— Lord A. PAGET, after stating that the reception given by the city of London to the Prince and Princess of Wales, on the 7th of March, was most gratifying to their royal highnesses and to Her Majesty, expressed his opinion that it would be better that the police of the metropolis should be placed under one management. — Mr BOVILL observed that the matter did not affect simply the city of London; the introduction of the proposed system would be immediately applied throughout the country. There was no instance in which the city police had failed; they discharged their duties most efficiently. There was no paramount necessity for the measure; and, as to the expense, the City paid for its own police, and the citizens did not complain of the expense. The 7th of March was an extraordinary occasion. The proper step would have been to employ 400 Life Guards, but they could not be furnished. No blame, however, attached to the city of London, j — Leave was ultimately given to brine in the bill. WEDNESDAY— LIABILITY OF INNKEEPERS.— Mr W. MARTIN moved the second reading of the Innkeepers' Liability ( No. 1) Bill, which exempted an innkeeper from liability for the property of his guests exceeding a certain amount, unless it had been deposited with him expressly for safe custody. His object, he said, was to protect innkeepers< from3fraud and robbery, for war, and he was prepared for war.— Lord PALMERSTON said the matter, which was of a very grave nature, was receiving due con- sideration from Her Ma- jesty's Government, but he was not pre- pared to state the result. THE PRINCE CONSORT MEMORIAL.— The house having gone into committee of supply, Lord PALMERSTON moved a reso- lution granting to Her Majesty £ 50,000 towards erecting a suitable memorial to the late Prince Consort. The commissioners ap- pointed to consider the plans proposed had, in their report, recom- mended that it should be confined to a personal memorial, and that it should be erected in Hyde Park. The estimated cost was £ 110,000. The amount of the subscriptions was nearly £ 60,000, and the vote now proposed would make up the required sum. Lord Palmerston paid a tribute to the virtues and great qualities of the Prince, and expressed his confidence that the house would rejoice in being an organ to convey to Her Majesty a token of the deep sympathy and heartfelt attachment of the nation.— After some discussion, in the course of which Mr DISRAELI said he thought the Government had taken a judicious and well- considered course in the matter, the vote was agreed to. THE BUDGET.— After some discussion on the income- tax, which, however, led to nothing, Mr HUBBARD made some re- marks upon the financial statement of the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer. He objected to the club licenses for the sale of liquors, which he hoped would be reconsidered. In adverting to the alterations in the income- tax, he spoke approvingly of the con- cessions made to persons with incomes less than £ 200 a year. Ho then discussed the scheme of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the conversion of permanent into terminable annuities, which was, he said, only another form of a sinking fund, now regarded as an utter delusion. After declaring his conviction of the justice, propriety, and expediency of a reduction of the duty on fire in- surances, he strongly objected to that part of the budget which imposed a tax upon charities, by withdrawing an exemption they had hitherto enjoyed, pointing out its effects upon funds raised for charitable objects.— Many of the resolutions, including those for reducing the tea duty and the income- tax, were then agreed to, and the house adjourned. MUSIC AND DRAMA. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—" Lucia di Lammermoor" has been played this week, Mdlle Titiens sustaining the character of the luckless heroine, M Gassier appearing as the brother, Enrico, and Signor Giugiini as Edgardo. The lady was incist happy in the malediction scene, where her energy and dramatic fervour were admirably displayed. Signor Giugiini makes a sufficiently lugubrious lover, and sang the concluding cavatina, " Pra poco,"" with much tenderness and skill. The new ballet, " La Farfal- letta," is a very pleasant affair of its kind; the story is like all ballet stories, rather hard to get at, but from what we could glean, Count Valfrido ( M. Diani) is a silly nobleman, who has lost himself whilst hunting, and being tound disporting himself in the territories of La Farfalletta ( Mdlle Ferraris), is bound by her assistant spirits to a tree, from which durance he is released by his retainers. After this, La Farfalletta enters his palace in disguise, and mystifies him by her gambols, and as mysteriously disappearing as she came. The final scene is a masked ball at the opera, where; to the Ceunt's apparent astonishment, the uncertain lady sprite again enters and dances a " Neapolitaine,'' which sprightly dance leads to the ballet's conclusion. Mdlle Ferraris is much improved since her last appearance in this country, and though she lias lost nothing of her power, has considerably added to the grace of her pax bv her increased refinement. Of the three principal dances herein provided for her we prefer that in which she leaps from flower to flower with the most elegant agility, and in which she is excel- lently supported by M Alessandro Paul, who takes the part, so say the bills, of a genius. This ballet continues to please the ha- bitues, and to remind us of the old ballet times departed. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—" Norma' has been twice repeated since our last, and Mdlle Pricci has gained confidence with each repetition of her arduous undertaking. Mdlle Carlott- a Patti has also appeared twice before audiences of the most critical and exacting nature, and been received with expressions of ap- proval. It is not, of course, possible in a concert to arrive at the measure of a dramatic singer's talent, but we can most unhesi- tatingly pronounce Mdlle Carlotta to be the possessor of a rich, flexible voice, and to have powers of vocalisation of the very highest order. Her execution of Mozart's most trying and diffi- cult aria from the " Zauberiiote'' was as perfect as it well could be, not a false note, or one in any degree to be detected even by the most fastidious ear. The least successful of the four morceaux set down for her to sing in the programme was her share of the duet " Quanto amore," but it is eminently an operatic duo, and requires performing as well as singing. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY.— Monday's concert was a great suc- cess, and gave unqualified satisfaction to all who heard it. Con- spicuous amongst the gems selected for performance was Mozart's exquisite sinfonia in E flat, which the band rendered with unusual skill under the guidance of Professor Sterndale Bennett. The other symphony chosen was Mendelssohn's lovely Italian sinfonia in A, which was likewise given with the most happy effect. Mr Cusin played Weber's concerto in E flat with great good taste and a brilliancy of execution not to be surpassed by any pianiste of the day. The grand scena from " Oberon," " Ocean, thou mighty monster," was sung by Mdlle Parepa with all the care so noble a composition deserves; and Mr Santley's singing of " Vedro mentr" io," from Mozart's " Figaro," could not have been exceeded for its largeness of style and fine manly breadth of vocalisation. Amongst the distinguished audience present were their Royal Highnesses the Prince Alfred, Princess Helena, and Princess Louisa. VOCAL ASSOCIATION.— The fourth concert for the season of this society was given on Wednesday night, and was chiefly re- markable for the production of a sort of operetta called " The Rose of Salency," the words and music of which are from the pen of Mr Chalmers Masters, a composer of merit, who had the benefit and support of Madame Lemmens- Sherrington, Mr Sims Reeves, Mr Tennant, and Mr Weiss as the exponents of his new work. Some of the ballads were very melodious and pleasing; how far thoroughly original we would not undertake to sav, but enough was heard to let us record a hope to hear Mr Masters s music on a future occasion. HERR PAUER'S HISTORICAL CONCERTS — Herr Pauer has com- menced a new series of what we may call instructive concerts, each of which is intended to illustrate some particular one of the various schools of music, and, therefore, the plan is more especi- ally intended for students and great lovers of music as an art, than for the more general mass of concert goers. Herr Pauer's playing, is, however, at all times acceptable to those who require amusement only, and the idea elevates the concert into an enter- tainment of the highest class. HAYMARICET THEATRE.— It is a pleasure to recard the return to London of those accomplished artistes, Mr and Mrs Alfred Wigan, who have resumed their professional duties at this house, and have appeared nightly in Mr Tom Taylor's excellent comedy called " Still Waters Run Deep.'' Mr Wigan's imperso- nation of John Mildmay is as well known to all the town as that of Lord Dnndreary by Mr Bothern, and it is late in the day now to describe all its varied merits. The imperturbable coolness and determination of the part is worked out in the most masterly manner, no detail, however trivial, being lost sight of, and it would seem an impossibility for acting to attain a higher degree of excellence than in this inimitable chef d'eeuvre, which should be witnessed by those who desire to become acquainted with a rare exhibition of histrionic art. Mrs Wigan, as Mrs Hector Sternhold, is quiet, lady- like, and self- sustained as ever, and is careful to shun those exaggerations of sentiment which so often prove fatal to artistes of lesser pretensions. Mr W. Farren plays Captain Hawksliaw with the requisite amount of swagger; and Miss Louisa Angel, as Mrs Mildmay, is ladylike and unassuming, though a trifle too tame, in some of the situations of the part. A new comedy is in rehearsal. OLYMPIC THEATRE.— Miss Hughes is still increasing her fame by the artistic manner in which she instructs the Olympic frequenters how to tame truant husbands, and also by her excel- lent intentions, musical and dramatic, as Galatea, in the classic extravaganza lately produced. A new comedy, written by Mr Tom Taylor, is said to be the next novelty to be produced here. ST JAMES'S THEATRE.— The death of Mr Rogers has given an opportunity to Mr S. Johnson to develop his burlesque " capa- bilities, though the peculiar quaintness and oddity of the departed actor will be missed in characters such as those he was wont to delight his public with for many a long day to come. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. FATAL FIGHT.— Samuel Howlett, a carpenter, has been com- mitted for trial from Worship- street, for causing the death of Samuel Rivett, a fellow- workman, in a fight at Hackney, on the 6th inst, and James and William Hammond, brothers, and James Lewis, a man of colour, were committed for aiding and abetting in the fight.— Mr Cook observed that it had been ruled that all persons present at a prize fight were criminal. All must go for trial, but he would accept bail for James Hammond in one surety of £ 40, two sureties in £ 50 for his brother William, and the same for Lewis. The first two were immediately forthcoming, but Lewis could not find a surety for the amount required, and he was, consequently, removed in the van to Newgata Howlett, against whom a very strong feeling of indignation appears to prevail for having struck his rival when the unfortunate man lay before him unconscious and unable to raise a hand in self- defence, of course, had not the privilege of bail. THE ROBBERY OF AN ACTRESS.— At Southwark, on Wednesday, Elizabeth Tann, a young woman, about eighteen, was committed for trial for stealing a box containing gold ear- rings, bracelets, rings, necklaces, and other jewellery, worth £ 1,000, the property of Miss Fanny Josephs, the actress.— The prisoner, who admitted her guilt, said that a man named Timothy, with whom she had been keeping company, not only ruined her, but caused her to commit the robbery, and had kept the whole of the property excepting the ear- rings. INDICTMENT OF THE HOUSES IN GEOBGE- STREET. — Mr Rivolta, solicitor to the St Giles's vestry, applied on Wednesday at Bow- street for warrants for the apprehension of the keepers of seven houses in George- street, on the charge of keeping brothels and disorderly houses, including that in which the murder was commttted, with a view to their indictment. The houses in question are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, and 10. The warrants were granted, and Mr Braddick, the inspector of nuisances, was bound over to prosecute. tended occasionally with the loss of human life, a boat belonging _ ... f to the township of Culkine of Stoer went to the Island of Crona under the existing law a guest might make an innkeeper liable with the large crew of nine souls on board.

Macrae has left three young helpless orphans. One of the two their property themselves. He mentioned instances ( and he stated that they were numerous) of claims made upon hotelkeepers for property to a large amount not actually lost, but alleged ( by mistake or fraud) to be lost, in their hotels.— Major EDWARDS supported the bill, and recommended the withdrawal of the bill No. 2, having a similar object, since they might clash together.— young men who saved their lives by clinging to the boat was very i Sir F.

He broke away from them, but was stopped by deceased in the passage, when he agreed to. THE INNKEEPERS' LIABILITY BILL ( No. 2) was with- drawn.

W. Kellock, H. B. Watson." FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT ON THE WEY.— On Tuesday an inquest was held at the Bell Inn, Stoke, near Guildford, on the bodies of Parton John Hains, a chemist, of Highgate; Theodore Spiers, a cigar merchant; and Geo. Wheatley, a boatman, aged respectively 31, 33, and 20, who were drowned by the upsetting of a boat on the river Wey, on the afternoon of Saturday, April 18.— Charles Wells, boatbuilder, & c, of Guildford, deposed that on Saturday, at twenty minutes to five o'clock, the deceased gentlemen hired a pleasure- boat from his yard. They stated that they had just had their dinner, and they wanted some one to go with them. The deceased ( Wheatley), who was in witness's employ, conse- quently accompanied them. The boat was built to carry four persons, and was in perfect repair, and was quite trustworthy. They had two pairs of sculls. Wheatley rowed when they started. Mr Hains sat in the stern to steer, and Mr Spiers in the centre. Wheatley had been in his ( the witness's) emplo.. about a twelve- month, and was a very sober and steady young man, and a good boatman. The party were all perfectly sober when they started. He did not know whether Wheatley could swim, but he had heard that he was a very good swimmer. Between six and seven o'clock a labouring man called at witness's, and informed him that one of his boats was down the river lying bottom upwards. Witness immediately sent three men down in a punt with the drags. He identified the bodies of the three deceased. The boat, when recovered, was perfectly sound.— The coroner summed up, and the jury, after deliberating a short, time in private, re- turned as their verdict, " Death from drowning by the upsetting of a boat, but how the said boat was upset tliere was no evidence to show." FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT BOTALLACK MINE, ST JUST, CORN- WALL.— TEN LIVES LOST.— About seven o'clock on Saturday evening, April 18, intelligence arrived at Penzance of a shocking accident which had occurred at the above mine, and which pro- duced great excitement. Botallack Mine is situate about one mile north of St Just Church- town, and, from its proximity to the sea and its great celebrity, is one of the principal attractions to tourists visiting the Land's End district. It is one of the largest tin and copper mines in West Cornwall, employing be- tween 200 and 300 men, who work in relays, or " cores,'' as the miners phrase it. About three o'clock on Saturday afternoon the men were leaving work as usual, ascending the new Boscawen diagonal shaft in a train waggon, which brings up about ten at a time. As one of the waggons, containing nine men and a boy, had nearly reached the surface, the chain broke, and they were hurled down the incline to the bottom of the shaft, and every one killed on the spot.

SPRING Apart from the attractions of the Two Thousand and One Thousand it can scarcely be said— in the words of the Irish bard — that " a meeting like this makes amends" for the paucity of sport experienced at, 3 the Craven gathering. " Barring" the two events alluded to, the programme hardly promised or yielded an item of paramount importance. At the same time it must be admitted that— passing over Monday entirely— it was redeemed from absolute dulness fey such items, beyond those already named, as the Two Year Old Plate, which promised an introduction to some fresh claimants for public honours, and for a further peep into the merits of certain animals in the Newmarket Btakes. Hopes, too, were entertained of seeing Tim Whiffler come out for the first time as a four year old on Friday, on the risk of testing his racing ability against Carisbrook, Dusk, and Hartington, to each of whom he was conceding 71b, for the Sweepstakes of 100 sovs each, Ditch In; a hope, however, that was not realised. The Prince of Wales's Stakes, it must be conceded, contained a very moderate lot of four year olds, and the races above enumerated may be fairly said to comprise the entire " pick" of the official list. The Two Thousand on this occasion was, however, a host in itself, for although it was pretty generally understood that the field would be numerically an insignificant one, the actual runners were known to be of a stamp that must throw no inconsiderable light upon the Derby, whereas after the Craven Meeting the public were about as wise in this respect as they were before. Now, however, the merits of the great French gun, Hospodar, were to ba tested, and Lord St Vincent was to learn how much Lord Clif- den had to fear both from him and Saccharometer, and to prove whether Blue Mantle was likely to bear off the blue ribbon from him, or the Rapid Bhone to bear do wnall before him. The mystery — and in these mystery and " sensation"- loving days the public ought to be specially obliged to Saccharometer— the mystery, we repeat, was about to be cleared up as to whether Lord Scrathmore's colt, respecting whom the most insane reports had been some time prevalent, had really " lost all form," and " had only been half trained," and had only " half mile gallops," and had " gone to other training quarters," and in fact had done all things pos- sible and impossible, was really the Saccharometer of last year, or a horse of a different form. Such were the leading attractions and anxieties in connection with the First Spring Meeting at the outset; other incidents in connection with it we must narrate in - due course. The usual excellent special was despatched from Shoreditch on • Sunday morning, which was not however a very heavy one, many intending visitors reserving themselves for the following day, or the more potent inducements of, the Two Thousand. Nothing worthy of note occurred in connection with the " big race" en route, and we are glad to say no wagering took place in tiie Sub- • soription Boom at night. No particular news was afloat; no rain, or none worth speaking of had fallen since the last meeting, and the Heath was consequently— for the Heath— very hard, a circum- stance that will fully account for the smallness of the fields in so very many instances. The Newmarket division, however, we may note, had their affections divided between their home- trained horses Hospodar, Blue Mantle, and Carnival; the French horse, after the running of Stradella, being for the most part pronounced " a cer- tainty,' although not a few very sensibly preferred a horse they effort; Almack, however, came away and won easily by three lengths; Welland beaten for second place by a head; bad fourth.

The running, or rather the cantering, for the pace was wretchedly bad, was made by Harvest Moon and Millionaire al- ternately, Lapidist and Amy close up next, Eomanoff lying off about a length. Thus they travelled to the top of the Bushes Hill, where Harvest Moon was viewed with the command, and on rounding the turn of the lands the pace became stronger. At the site © f the Duke's Stand the let were nearly in a line, but Amy and Lapidist next compounding the issue " was left to the other three. Both Millionaire and Eomanoff made a determined effort to overhaul Harvest Moon, but without avail, for the filly won cleverly by a neck ; Eomanoff was beaten a head only from the second; tile other two some lengths astern. The winner was claimed. Eun in 4min 7sec. BETTING UP TO SIX O'CLOCK.

That the Frenchman had passed a good night was evident from the circumstance that on the fol- lowing morning almost any shade of odds were taken about him, while Saccharometer appeared to be gaining ground, as did also Blue Mantle. Matters, however, were rather tame before proceeding to the Heath, and the muster at the Eoom inconsider- able. The " April showers,'' wherever they may be this season, kept off Newmarket, and although once or twice the sky looked threatening, the much- needed rain never came. The list for to- day, as already intimated, was unimportant in the extreme, and the quality of the competitors for the most part very moderate. In fact, to extend remarks on the day's proceedings would be mere waste of time and space, and a brief survey of the doings will be amply sufficient. There was but little to choose in the betting between Miss Emma and Eevolver for the opening Handicap Plate, over the Eowley Mile; but the former, who had the best of the weights, saved her backers by a head, and Santlial, on whom 6 to 4 was laid, beat JEtna and Columbine, the only two opposed to him for the suc- ceeding Bedford Stakes Course Sweepstakes. Of the five starters for the Maiden Plate, for two year olds, speculators confined their attentions to Garotter and Eigolboche, and Garotter, proving too much for the heroine of the demi monde, beat her by three parts of a length. A very indifferent quintette contested the Belling Plate, which was rather unexpectedly pulled off by Bed- ford, who found, however, no claimant at the entered 40 sovs, while Peru, who was as good a favourite as anything, broke a blood vessel. Practitioner bowled over the selected Chicquot the Jester by a neck, New Yearling Course, and Mr Craven's colours were again in the ascendant in the next race, for Almack, who was naturally enough well patronised by the aristocracy, and about equal favourite with the top- weighted Welland, achieved an easy victory over the T. Y. C., Lord Stamford, who had this time the worst of the weights, for the fourth time to- day, running second. The Free Handicap Sweepstakes proved the certainty it looked for the Mountain Maid filly, who had only Corroborator and Dirt Cheap to dispose of, and Clarior having walked over for the Free Handicap Sweepstakes, Ditch Mile, wherein Dunkeld saved his stake, a move was made to the top of the town for the last race of the day, the £ 100 Plate, Audley End Course, for which Millionaire, the winner of the Northamp- tonshire Cup Stakes, was backed for " heaps" of money. The wretched pace, however, did not serve him, and the race only commenced in reality from the turn of the lands, where Harvest MOOR was in the van, and in spite of the determined effort of • Custance on the favourite, and Loates on Eomanoff, to eclipse her, she shone triumphantly in the fore at the finish, and Crouch, who rode for the first time to- day for his second master, Mr Fleming, bowled over his first master, Mr G. Bryan, to the disgust of Custance, who averred that the race was " fiddled away'' from want of pace. The winner was claimed by the trainer of Eomanoff, under the impression that the latter horse was second, and subse- quently claimed by the trainer of Millionaire for Mr T. Hughes. BomanofF, too. afterwards " changed hands'' being purchased by Mr Bevill for £ 300. Save that a solitary 1,000 to 5 was booked about Almack for the Derby, after his race, the sport had no influence di- rectly or indirectly upon " future events." Hospodar was scarcely so good a favourite on the course as he had been in the morning for the Two Thousand, and the same remark applies to baccharo- meter, against whom 4 to 1 was currently offered, Blue Mantle being the third best favourite at anything over 9 to 1. The Eanger was in request for the Derby at 30 to 1, Light Bob and Donny- brook were backed at 1,000 to 10— taken several times— and Bald- win at 1,000 to 15; 40 to 1 was offered agst Macaroni and Lord Glasgow's lot was invested on at 25 to 1. The racing having ter- minated at five o'clock, speculation was actively renewed in front of the rooms before dinner, the result of which is given below, and it will be seen that the changeful Saecharometer was a better favourite again, and we may note that Blue Mantle would have been backed freely at 10 to 1.

DERBY. 1 agst Tom Fool ( off) | 2000 to 20 agst Physalis colt ( tk) 1 Kapid iihone ( tk) | THE SUSSCEIPTION EOOM AT NIGHT. Throughout the earlier part of the evening there were very few members present, and no indications presented themselves that a great event was to be decided on the morrow. It was not until nearly ten o'clock that the " diners" began to drop in, and con- siderably after that hour before the note of preparation was sounded, and the offer of 8 t © 1 " bar two" betokened the un- changed state of the market and the unimpaired vitality of the favourites. The room subsequently, although far from thronged, _ became well attended, and a degree of animation was prevalent that would have led the uninitiated to imagine that a considerable amount of business was in course of transaction. The reverse, however, was really the case ; the strong position held by Hos- podar, and the renewed confidence observable in the friends of Saccharometer, together with the known scantiness of the " coloured" competitors, were sufficient to impede further active speculation ; and we can safely say that on no former occasion do we remember so little genuine wagering on the eve of a" Two Thou- sand.'' A slight shade of odds was offered agst Hospodar, 110 to 100 being the opening price. Subsequently 240 to 200 was booked about him in one bet; odds, however, which were not obtainable afterwards, and which being stood out for by his backers, eaused but comparatively little to be done on the French " crack" at 5 to 4. Saccharometer, whose position had been of such a fluctuating and perplexing character ever since his installation as a prominent favourite, the more so as the horse has all along been known to have been " never better," was in increased force, offers of 7 to 2 agst him being taken with considerable promptness; three monkeys were afterwards invested, causing Lord Strathmore's " hope" to advance to 5 to 2. Before the close, however, 3 to 1 was again taken and offered about him. The only other horse really in the betting was Blue Mantle, whose brilliant Ascot " form," together with the favourable reports of those who had seen him " out,'' caused his backers to a certain extent to ignore his defeats by both the leading favourites at the July and Houghton meet- ings; 8 to 1 was at first the highest offer agst him without effect, and offers to take 10 to 1 likewise eliciting no response, layers and backers met each other half way, and 9 to 1 was booked about him to some money. 10 to 1 was offered agst Macaroni when the ball opened, and later a little was done about him at 100 to 8 and 12 to 1. Rapid Ehone was also in some little demand at prices varying from 100 to 6 to 20 to 1, the last- named odds being obtainable on " breaking up." Lord Glas- gow's lot was backed at 100 to 6, and his extreme outsider, Clarior, at 40 to 1, odds that were likewise taken to a trifle about Count Caveur. 25 to 1 was offered agst Melrose, and 30 to 1 agst King of the Vale. The Chester Cup was, as ucual, barely touched upon, the only two bets that we came across being 4 to 1 agst Stradella and 15 to 1 agst Plover, both wagers, however, being only to small amounts. For the Derby 5 to 1 was taken about Lord Clifden, 15 to 2 was offered agst Hospodar, layers declining to accom- modate the followers of the French stable with half a point more. 12 to 1 was offered agst Saccharometer, but baekers were coy, and evidently waiting for the solution of the great mystery of the Tuesday. 1,400 to 100, and subsequently fourteen " fifties " were laid against National Guard, and Blue Mantle was inquired after at 25 to 1. Eanger, who had been supported on the course during the day at 30 to 1, was again in force at that price several times. 40 to 1 was offered agst Macaroni, but 1,000 to 20 was afterwards laid. Avoridale, the Physalis colt, and Donnybrook were each supported at 66 to 1. The following list of prices represents the state of the market at the close. 5 to 4 agst Hostsodar ( tk) 3 to 1 ~ 9 to 1 11 to 1 20 to 1 Two THOUSAND GUINEAS. 25 to 1 agst Melrose ( tk) 30 to 1 King of the Vale( tk) 40 to 1 Clarior ( tk) 40 to 1 Count Cavour ( tk) 4 to 1 Saccharometer ( tk) Blue Mantle ( t& off) Macaroni ( off) Kapid Ehone ( off) CHESTER CUP.

Eever- ing our usual plan of giving a list of horses " struck out" over night, we now, for obvious reasens, give a list of those " left in" instead, seeing that they numbered only fifteen, and it was well known that of these the last- named five would prove ab- sentees. The lot comprised the following: Count Cavour Rapid Rhone Clarior Hospodar Blue Mantle Macaroni King of the Vale Brother to Morocco Saccharometer Melrose j Trojanus Tarragon I Abernethy I Budworth ! Spitfire Kitty TUESDAY.— Time was when Newmarket even on the Two Thousand day was comparatively select, and although the attend- ance was increased as compared with the other " meeting days," it was chiefly owing to the influx of sporting Cantabs, who then, as now, availed themselves of the close proximity of their AlmaMater to the metropolis of the Turf, and cut lectures and hall for the more exciting scenes of the Heath. Tcmpora mutantur, however, for the mighty magician steam lending its aid to Great Eastern ex- cursion and special trains has converted the " Two Thousand '> into a kind of Derby day on a smaller scale. There was the usual block in the High- street and the usual crowd in the front of the Subscription Eoom, but settling appeared to occupy at least as much attention as betting on the Two Thousand, and the prices current" at the roam differed in no very material degree from those of the previous night, although both Saccharometer and Blue Mantle were better favourites, especially the latter, while Hospodar's backers were still ultra confident for both this event and the Derby, and 7,000 to 1,000 was booked about him in one bet for the last- named event, and 500 to 400 for the former. The fourth best favourite. Macaroni, had, however, made no advance, and layers appeared much more anxious than backers to " operate " about Eapid Ehone. The card to- day was unusually weak, but the superabundant interest taken in the Two Thousand made ampleamends for all other shortcomings with the multitude. The day's proceedings commenced with the Sweepstakes, reduced to a match with Balder and Lacydes, over the Beacon Course, forwhich slight odds were laid on Lord Coventry's colt, but his last year's Newmarket luck adhered to him still, and he suffered defeat by Lord Stamford's representative. Eain would indeed have been a welcome visitor overnight, but none had fallen, and as the wind blew strongly this morning, the dust on the road flew in dense clouds as the long line of vehicles made their way from the end of the Beacon Course to " Across the Flat.'' The dust was, indeed, perfectly suffocating, and few persons have ever experienced any- thing like it at Newmarket. From the New Stand the scene was really imposing, for never before have we witnessed a larger as- semblage, and far down towards the T. Y. C. carriages, Cambridge " traps," horsemen, and pedestrians were intermingled in a dense mass, the Cambridge division, as usual, dashing across the Heath from time to time in the usual devil- may- care style that so emi- nently distinguishes the sporting Cantab when he is " let loose" at Newmarket. Of the seven runners Across the Flat, favouritism was awarded to Battery, who was, however, as her jockey averred, thrown out of her stride by Misfire, who won by a head from Brother to Eapid Ehone. An objection fol- lowed on the part of the rider of Battery; the stewards, however, did not consider the case of foul riding proven, and awarded the race to Misfire. Next, at an interval of forty minutes, the Two Thousand was set to take place, and seal the fate of more than one candidate for Derby honours. Of the coloured ten Baron Eothschild's Brother to Morocco was the single absentee, the field being composed of Count Cavour, Lord Glasgow's two— Eapid Ehone and Clarior— the latter of whom went t © serve his stable companion,— the crack Hospodar, who ran untried, although he had been " roughed up," Blue Mantle, Macaroni, King of the Vale, Saccharometer, the latter of whom, we may state, had been put through the mill with Manrico, and the representative of the Whitewall stable, the dark Melrose, who, however, did not come to Newmarket with any high private repute. The betting underwent no change of note, the favourite remaining steady at 6 to 5, and Sac- charometer, whose owner was remarkably sanguine about him, receded at last to 4 tol again, when it was discovered that he was lathering rather freely; at three points more Blue Mantle was steady, but 11 to 1 was easily obtainable to the close about Macaroni; Eapid Ehone at last had very few backers, and Melrose still less. This was the state of affairs as nearly as may be, when preparations were made for the great race of the week, or, as we might even write, of the whole year at Newmarket, and, as usual, in a manner now hap- pily very peculiar to Newmarket; that is to say, the leading favourites were very carefully kept out of sight until the last mo- ment, and only just brought to the post in time for, at the first attempt, one of the best starts ever seen. In vain was it that " the flying horse'' hung about the Gap, or that the troops wheeled round for a look at Lord Glasgow's pair, John Scott's single representative. Wells on the Baron's choice of the two coloured, or the flashy Count Cavour, a chesnut with four white legs, whose distinguishing marks were well matched by his crimson and white colours; but the colt showed little of the fashion of Longbow about him, being but a common, cloddy- looking animal. King of the Vale, again, was c coarse hunting horse of immense growth; while the Middle' ham roan was all over of a higher quality, being a very smart nag to scan over, and full of wire and muscle. His companion Clarior, on the contrary, had a faded appear- ance, and did not, moreover, seem to be in any kind of sort? with himself. The other Yorkshireman, Melrose, had evidently been done every justice to, and had that " comely" character about him so commonly noticeable in John Scott's horses when they are fit; though with two big ends there was by no means that perfection of symmetry we had heard of. Like Eapid Ehone, and we must add the Baron's horse, he was none the worse when set going; but there was unmis takably nothing extraordinary so far, and we began again to look about for the cracks, who eventually came up in a cluster. Conspicuous amongst them was Hospodar, those wonderful fore legs being disguised, so far as was possible, in a pair of cloth boots. Beyond this the horse had certainly improved since we saw him in the autumn, if his preparation had not even been too much for him, as a cracked. heel would goto testify. " Above," and particularly about his quarters, Hospodar is unquestionably a grand horse, but how the world could ever have been brought to figure as but a short, though very neat nag, and with a deal of the Sweetmeat about him. It is only to be regretted that, after the way in which Lord Strathmore stuck to his horse, and the justice Channell has done him, they couid not quite pull through. It would have been a great moral victory. His half- brother, Maca- roni, is a long and low one, with fine quarters and a capital back, but not altogether a taking horse to the eye. His condition, however, was wonderfully perfect, and we question whether there was any horse in the race that has done so much really strong work. As we stated months since, Macaroni was regarded by the stable as Godding's Derby horse during last autumn, and up to his defeat by Automaton; a race over which Mr Naylor and his friends were very confident, though the result was subsequently explained away on the showing that the colt had a rattling two mile gallop by mistake, from the lad not understanding his orders, on the morning previous to his running in the Houghton. Macaroni himself gave some further correction to this in his race in the Craven Meeting ; but the pub- lic never fairly took to him in the face of Carnival, and we fancy he landed very little but for the immediate party. The field of nine was made up by another famous Newmarket horse, Captain Lane's Blue Mantle, by faraway to look on the most racing- like as well as the handsomest colt of the lot. He was brought out, moreover, in very fine form, and what with his blood- like character, his perfect symmetry of frame, and beautiful bay whole- coloured coat, was the very picture of a race horse. He showed little or no signs of temper beyond rather an airy way of looking about him, and should have finished nearer than he did. Indeed we fancy that Mr Clark might have confined his duty, so far as the actual race went, with distinguishing the three first home, as we doubt much whether any of the others fought it out, or the French horse might not even have been as forward as fourth. The effect was, of course, instantaneous. The result could tend only to clear the way for Lord Clifden, as rarely has a Two Thousand Guineas field been more thoroughly sifted — composed moreover, as this was, of the elite of the two year olds — Saccharometer, Hospodar, and Blue Mantle, all now ex- tended, without even an inference to be deduced from the race as to the pa3t or present of Lord St Vincent's horse. The start as we have said was a good one, and stretching in a line across the course, Saccharometer and Blue Mantle lay on the extreme left, Melrose on the extreme right, Hospodar in the centre, with Macaroni at his whip hand, and Clarior leading the van. thus they came on amidst immense excitement to the Bushes Hill, where Hospodar held out signs of distress, and to the conster- nation of his backers, gave way beaten on descending the hill, Blue Mantle retiring, too, joined the crack, and Macaroni came gal- lantly to the fore, and despite the efforts of his half- brother, Saccha- rometer, landed Mr Naylor's colours very cleverly by three parts of a length, thus compensating him for the disappoints ment he last year experienced with Caterer. Saccharometer, though defeated, was net disgraced, for he ran a good horse, but for tnecrack there is no excuse to be made, although his quondam backers tried to persuade themselves after the race that the horse had done too much work, just as it was said before it that Saccharometer had done too little. Blue Mantle ran very for- ward to the Abingdon Mile Bottom. King of the Vale, who it was generally thought by the cognoscenti, " wanted a little more time,'' ana had, in fact, been stopped in his work, will doubt- less yet be heard of to advantage. Clarior performed his task respectably for his stable companion, Rapid Ehone, who cut a very indifferent figure, but, when all criticism is expended, it must be acknowledged that the best horse won, and, as we re- marked in our last, " it is well known that, previous to his de- feat at the Houghton Meeting by Automaton, he was pronounced the best of Mr Naylor's, and his race with Automaton lias been satisfactorily explained to his friends.'' His running this year at the Craven Meeting was, in fact, good enough alone to restore all confidence, for he won the Three Year Old Sweepstakes with lots to spare by three lengths, over the Bowley Mile, beating the Se- norita colt, Valentine, Giraffe colt, Gratitude, and Le Marshal, and our talented and amusing correspondent, " Orange Blos- som,'' although he went with the stream, and gave his final vote for Hospodar last week, was not far wrong when he penned the verse— " The Newsmonger ne'er can be destined for fame If his form of last week with his trial agrees; Mr Naylor's Stampede is too slow for his name, And he'll find Macaroni far more like the cheese." The winner was bred by Lord Westminster, and his next en- gagement is in the Derby. He is also engaged in the Drawing Eoom Stakes at Goodwood, and at the Doncaster Meeting in the Scarborough Stakes. The other events that followed excited but little interest. In the Free Handicap S weepstakes, reduced to a match, Eowley Mile, Atherstone giving Gorse 29! b, beat her by half a length, with 6 to 4 betted on him, though not without a little rousing ; and Fantail bowled over Villafranca and Ossian for the Coffee Eoom Stakes Across the Flat, and was afterwards talked about in connection with the Great Northern Handicap. Chicquot the Jester, who opened the favourite, beat Sa- crilege and Little Go for the half mile Sweepstakes ; and iEtna, on whom long odds were laid', beat a brace of very moderate ones, and placed the third: win of the day to Lord Stamford's account. The winner was afterwards claimed. Immediately after the Two Thousand 1,100 to 200 was booked about Macaroni for the Derby, and at 6 to 1 he was backed for a considerable sum, although on returning to the town a point more was forthcoming. We did not hear more than 10 to 1 offered agst Saccharometer. Odds varying from 25 to 33 to 1 were proferred agst Hospodar, and his inglorious displaj' had likewise a prejudicial effect on National Guard. King of the Vale was inquired about, and The Eanger was backed for some money at 20 to 1. The further transactions that took place at the rooms up to six o'clock will be found chronicled below. Lord W. Powlett, we must add, challenged for the Cup, and named Tim Whifiler, 4 yrs. A SWEEPSTAKES of 300 sovs each, 100 ft, for four year olds; colts Sst 10lb, fillies 8st 51b; B. C.

Bat- tery, in the centre of the course, got off slightly in front, with Anaticulus and Misfire next, well up, Lord Glasgow's colt and Overton lying on the whip hand, nearly level with them. The Baron's colt held the command to about half way up the Bushes Hill, where Misfire and Brother to Eapid Ehone closed in front, and Martin was obliged to pull the favourite out of her stride to prevent her striking into the heels of Misfire, who, as he alleged, swerved across his filly. Halfway up the hill Overton joined in front for a few strides, but at the cords gave way again, and Mis- fire, Lord Glasgow's colt, and Anaticulus ran home nearly abreast, the former winning by a head, while the light weight was beaten a neck only from the second; Overton was a good fourth, and Battery fifth, the other two some four or five lengths in the rear. On returning to scale Martin objected to the winner on the grounds of a cross, but, after hearing evidence, the stewards csnfirmed the judge's decision. Eun in 2min 20sec.

The Glenochty colt, The Ranger, and Automaton each received sup- port at 20 to 1, and King of the Vale, on the strength of his having obtained a " situation," was substantially backed at 25 to 1. 40 to 1 was taken about Hospodar early in the evening, and the disgraced Frenchman subsequently became in some demand at 1,000 to 30, in one instance advancing to 1,000 to 40. 4,000 to 100 was, however, again laid against him, and 33 to 1 freely offered just before bed time. The last- named odds were taken about Carnival, and Early Purl at five points more had a good many friends, Jarnicoton and Donnybrook were also supported at 40 to 1, the latter eventually receding to 1,000 to 20 taken. Blue Mantle was friendless at 50 to 1. Of the outsiders quoted below allusion need only be made to Tambour Major, against whom the very long shot of 1,000 to 2 was once fired, and who was backed by his owner at prices varying from those odds to 1,000 to 10. An offer was made of 500 to 400 on the lot behind Macaroni in the Two Thousand beating him for the Derby.

The competitors were despatched from the post about a quarter past three, amid universal excitement, on very even terms. Clarior cut out the work for his stable com- panion Eapid Rhone,, Blue Mantle and Saccharometer to the left being slightly in advance of Hospodar in the centre, Macaroni lying on the whip- hand of the latter, with King of the Vale next, and Melrose on the extreme right. The lot behind the leader thus stretched in almost an even line across the course for about the first half mile, Clarior still bearing his colours in advance to the top of the Bushes hill, where he resigned the command, and the friends of the favourite now looked forward with intense anxiety in the hope of seeing him supply the place of the ieader, and carry his colours prominently in the fore. The retirement of Clarior, however, left Blue Mantle slightly in advance of Lord Strathmore's colt, and in the next few strides the well- known cry was heard which has heralded the defeat of so many a leading favourite, and half way down the hill the crack was unmistakably beaten, and gradually dropped back in the Abingdon Mile Bottom, to the dismay of his backers. Next Blue Mantle compounded, and Challoner calling upon Macaroni, who had been quietly biding his time, he took a clear lead in rising the dip, and from the moment he was called upon the race was virtually over, for although Jem Goater made a vigorous effort on Saccharometer half way in the cords, Mr Naylor's colt stalled off his half brother very cleverly by three quarters of a length; King © f the Vale, who took third place in the bottom on the retirement of Blue Mantle, finished a length from Saccharometer, and some five lengths in advance of Hospo- dar, to whom succeeded Blue Mantle, Eapid Ehone, and Melrose; Clarior was last but one, and Count Cavour, clear of the others, occupied the reverse position of his late illustrious namesake, being at " the tail of affairs."

The result of tise " notices of motion" at the meeting alluded to is fully recorded elsewhere, so we may at once proceed to other matters in connection with the meeting, first premising that the Sweep- stakes of 50 sovs each, last three miles of the Beacon Course, having declined to a walk over for Harlequin, the racing after all did not commence until one o'clock, so that more time was allowed before proceeding to the course both for settling on the Two Thousand— the result of which we may note was generally " harmless" to bookmakers, some of whom " came out" good win- ners— and taking stock of Mr Simpson's yearlings, which were offered for sale by Messrs Tattersall, the result of of which will likewise be found in another column. A most welcome heavy shower having fallen about ten o'clock, the dust nuisance was to- day abated, although sufficient moisture had not descended to make any perceptible improvement in the running ground. The proceedings of the day, in reality, call for very brief comments, as, with the exception of the Newmarket Two Year Old Plate, and, perhaps, the last race of the day, the events decided were of mere passing interest. 2 to 1 was betted on Oscar for the opening Sweepstakes, Ditch Mile, but the favourite suffered easy defeat from his soli- tary antagonist, Sea King, who was in the receipt of a 31b al- lowance. Lord Stamford's colours were, however, more successful in the next journey, for Citadel proved a tower of strength to those who stood him and made him first favourite, and by twolengths he landed them securely for the Prince of Wales's- Stakes, over the Cesarewitch Course. Berkeley, too, proved a good thing in the succeeding Handicap Plate, which brought out no fewer than thirteen runners— up to this time the largest field of the meeting— and backed at 100 to 30 and 3 to 1, he beat The Prophet by a neck, although the two were running so wide of each other that both jockeys fancied they had " just won." The betting was wavering on the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each next brought to issue, Wingrave having perhaps the call of Biondellaat the finish, but the mare running in something like her old form oyer the half mile, " chopped" the Baron's colt, and beat himby acoupleof lengths. One- and- twenty youngsters were telegraphed to do battle for the Newmarket Two Year Old Plate, of which by far the majority were " darkies," and the wagering was chiefly confined to Sister to Queen of the Vale, Lord Glasgow's Physalis oolt, Royston, and Alabama. Of these Lord Glasgow's colt was very restive on leaving the stables, and becoming perfectly unmanageable, threw Aldcroft, who was much, though not seriously hurt.. The colt, we need hardly add, did not go to the post. The result showed good judgment in those who stood the leading favourite, for Baron Rothschild, who has been singularly fortmnate in his King Tom fillies this year, having previously won at Lincoln with Sister to Tomyris, and at Epsom with Sister to Wings,, won to- day with Sister to Queen of the Vale, who pulled over the others all the way. The " dark bine and yellow cap" was again in the ascendant in the Plate of 50 sovs, E M.— reduced to a matoh— the Giraffe colt winning easily from the Miranda filly, and in the next half mile sweepstakes Good for Nothing— about whom 5 to 1 was obtainable— proved that names, like dreams, sometimes " go by contraries." Lord Stamford's Chicquot the Jester, too, in the half mile sweepstakes which followed, upset aliuge " pot'' on Overcast, who was backed freely at evens. Of the four coloured for theEenewal of the Sweepstakes Gaulois isnot in England, and the threecompetitorsconsisted of Dunkeld, Sea King, and Eevolver, the two former getting a 41b allowance, and the first- named being the best favourite. All three had evidently had quite enough of it by the time they bronght their journey across the flat to a close, Dunkeld beating Sea King, who ran for the second time to- day, by half a length. The little betting that took place on the One Thousand on the course is scarcely worth dwelling upon here, as the " bet- ting up to six o'clock" on returning from the Heath afforded so much clearer views of the true state of the market, and to that we must accordingly refer.

Canwell on the extreme left got away slightly in advance of Disappointment and Gem of The Sea, Berkeley lying aboutfourth, in the middle, succeeded by Drummer Boy, Prophet running wide on the lower ground, nearly in a line with the leader, with Best on the whip hand of him. At the top of the Bushes Hill Canwell dropped back, and the lead was taken by Berkeley, while Disappointment and Gem of the Sea gave way simultaneously in the bottom, and Prophet, running in by himself on the extreme outside, came on nearly in a line with the fa- vourite, who won very cleverly by a neck. Drummer Boy finished a length from the second, and Canwell fourth, about as far from him; Best and Harleston headed the others, the Anemone gelding being last but one, and the Lady Harriet colt last, tailed off. Run in lmin 24sec. trust in such understandings is one of those enigmas that, per- 6 to 4 on the field. The lengthy list of quotations given below haps, will never be satisfactorily solved. On the flat or up hill he might live, as he has done, over a short distance of ground, but how such an animal could ever face a rise and fall was, as clearly demonstrated to- day, something line a physical impossibility. Still, horses will go in all forms, though never was a maxim so outrageouslyover- riddenasin the caseof Hospodar, asafavouritefor the Derby. For theTwo Thousand he might have hadsome claim, does not represent any very great amount of real business, and the betting was of a fluctuating and desultory nature, 4 to 1 was the highest offer on the field, odds, however, that found no takers. Macaroni was in force in his suddenly acquired position of second favourite. At 7 to 1 he was backed for several " centuries,'' and at the close of the evening 3,000 to 450 was taken about him in one bet. Saccharometer's running but for the longer and more trying race, as we have maintained for the Guineas was considered " good enough" not materially to formonthspast, hecouldhavenone; whilehisdefeatthusearlyonly ' damage his chance for the Derby, but although his pride of the more supports our impression as to the little reliable line about place as third favourite was undisturbed, and 12 to 1 taken about either the Criterion or the Clearwell for the great three year old him, he received no very great amount of actual support, although races. In close company with the crack, as next to him in towards the close 11 to 1 was the highest offer. The sorry figure the market, came Saccharometer, a horse whose looks went cut by the great French " crack" on the other hand had naturally far to clear up much of the mystery lately hanging over i a prejudicial effect on National Guard, and after he had him. Lord Strathmore's colt had been manifestly only j been " put up" at his old price of 14 to 1, offers of 15, 16, ever- touted, as his place either at the starting- post or the 17, and 18 to 1 were made against him in rapid succession, winning- post sufficiently elucidated; though the keen north j 1,000 to 60 was then booked about him several times, and although Lord Westmoreland's b f Overcast, 2 yrs, Sst 61b ( 200).

Considerable activity prevailed in front of the room, the One Thousand being productive of quite an unusual amount of specu- lation. Tornado was made the favourite, and 3 to 1 taken about her to several hundred pounds, after which she advanced to 5 to 2, likewise meeting with ample support at those odds. Lady Au- gusta was also in great force, and after a large investment at 4 to 1, she advanced to 100 to 30. 5 to 1 " bar two" was for some time the current offer, but later 6 to 1 was freely taken about Amelia, and the same price about the Sister to Singapore filly ( since named Marigold), who had been very highly tried with Berkeley. The outsiders backed were Gold Dust and Crafton Lass at 10 to 1, though subsequently 100 to S was offered against the latter ; and Tease Me Not at 100 to 6. 60 to 50 was six times laid on the field beating two. THE SUBSCRIPTION EOOM AT NIGHT. The evening's proceedings— although productive of considerable real business on the " ladies''' race— were transacted amidst such confusion and turmoil, as to render the actual position of the market at times somewhat obscure. Tornado and Lady Augusta both held their own at 100 to 30 and 7 to 2, and the pair were backed at the outset at evens agst the field for upwards of a monkey. The recently- named Marigold was also in im- mense favour ; 6 to 1 was taken about her with such readiness that she very speedily advanced a point, and finding plenty of friends at 5 to 1, her closing price was 9 to 2, odds that still found takers, and at one time it seemed probable that she would head the list. Amelia was steady at 6 to 1, and afterwards advanced to 5 to 1 ( taken) ; the former odds, however, were obtainable about her before the room was finally cleared. Of the outsiders Crafton Lass was most in demand at 11 to 1, odds currently offered agst Gold Dust. Flying Fish fluttered from prices varying from 13 to 30 to 1, and was finally backed at 20 to 1, a considerable stake being invested on her in the course of the evening. 20 to 1 was also taken to a little about Cadeau. The above transactions left but little time for bett ing on the Derby, which was only touched upon at intervals. The favourite was not mentioned, but the Two Thousand winner was freely backed at 7 to 1. 1,000to 100 was booked about Saccharometer, The Ranger advanced to 1,000 to 60 ( taken), and 1,000 to 30 was taken two or three times about Hospodar. 25 to 1 at first, was offered agst Carnival, bat he speedily went back to 40 to 1 ( the figure to which he retired last week). An even pony was offered agst his starting, no re- sponse, however, being elicited to the offer of an enthusiastic friend of the stable to lay an even " thou " that he did. 2,000 to 30 was taken about Giles the First. For the Great Northern Handicap 5 to 1 each was booked about Carbineer and Fantail, 8 to 1 Manfred, and 10 to 1 the Physalis colt.

After a moderate, though not a pro- tracted delay, taking into consideration the number of competi- tors, the twenty youngsters were despatched from the post on very level terms.

After running a short distance Lady Maud got her head in advance of Vates, and the pair, in company with Rigelboche, ran in front to Ab- ingdon Mile Bottom, where Osborne let out Sister to Queen of the Vale, whohad been pulling over the others all the way, while Garot- ter at the same time running through his horses became second, fol- lowed by Mr Savile's filly and the Touchwood filly. Lady Maud having " beaten a retreat on rising the dip, where Vates likewise dropped away. The Baron's filly, keeping her place on the lower ground, ran home wide of Garotter, and defeated him very easily by a length. Rigolboche, who was beaten a head only from the second, finished a neck in advance of the Touchwood filly ; clear of these Eoyston was fifth, and Alabama sixth.

The following comprise the lot left in at midnight:— Cadeau Villafranca Souveraino Curie Crafton Lass The Moa Tornado Lady Augusta Symmetry Tease Me Not Flying Fish Gratitude Amelia Beatrice Louise Bonne Gold Dust Sister to Mincepie Alice Marigold Bonny Bell Spitfire Kitty THURSDAY.— Compared with the " Two Thousand,'' the " One Thousand" day, in point of general attraction, bears about the same amount of resemblance that the reflection of the rainbow does to the rainbow itself, and the appearance of the town and heath to- day was corroborative of the truth of our re- mark. There is little occasion for dwelling upon the doings at the Boom during the morning, where Tornado and Lady Augusta were about equal favourites for the One Thousand, and Marigold was still in much demand, for the only other item of especial interest was the backing of Saccharometer very freely at 9 to 1 for theDerby, a circumstance partly attributable to a report of his being about to be sent to John Scott's to finish his Derby preparation. The dust blew in dense clouds again across the Heath, to an extent that materially detracted from the pleasure of the sport, and wind and dust combined rendered race glasses next to use- less. Compared with the former day, the attendance was good, but we have already given our notion of it in com- parison with Tuesday. With the exception of the One Thousand the racing was singularly devoid of interest. Ather- stone, as in duty bound, won the opening race, the Plate of £ 100, Eowley Mile, at weight for age, and the four year old 8peedy must have been bad indeed had he not pulled off the Handicap Sweepstakes, half a mile, seeing that he was let in at 5st 91b. Citadel having Paste, Vinegar Hill, Eubicon, and the very mode- rate Fanscombe to contend with, won the Free Handicap Sweep- stakes, two middle miles— for which he wa3 especially fancied— as easily as on the previous day he won the Prince of Wales Stakes. This event decided, the all- important race, the One Thousand, was next brought to issue. For this the only absentee of the coloured eleven was Villafranca. both Lord Stamford and Mr Ten Broeck having " two strings to their bow.'' No change of note took place in the betting up to the time of starting, but we may just state that, in some parts of the ring at all events, mat- ters were so nicely balanced between Tornado and Lady Augusta ( on whom the money went freely at last) that many made her the better favourite. On the whole, however, Mr Ten Broeck's filly had the call of Lord 8tamford's. With the wind blowing a gale, and the dust flying a simoom, the difficulty attendant on a sight of the Thousand Guineas fillies was proportionately increased. To those, however, who cherish signs and omens, all this was something of a happy augury for the success of the leading favourite, the more especially when it was remembered how a previous Hurricane had swept everything before it. But Tornado showed little growth or improvement, and went up in company with the common- looking Curie, with- out creating much impression amongst the critics. The fresh fancy of the night previous, Mr Hargreave's mare, on the con- trary, stripped a great, big, lusty filly, with a deal of power about her, but not the best of shoulders, nor quite as much quality as one would like to find for such a race as the Thousand. Another fine- framed one was Amelia, though wanting in the bloom of the Whitewall standard, and clearly not quite at home in such boisterous weather, as her coat was set up, and she had altogether rather a ragged unpromising appearance. Teaze Me Not is still as neat as could be, but she. has not gone on; while there was more visible amendment in Cadeau, a filly growing very like her sire The Chevalier, and with good outstriding action of her own. Still, far away the flower of the flock, the belle of the ball, or the queen of the day, was Lord Stamford's Lady Augusta, a mare that has only kept on improving since last season. It is seldom that so really beautiful a filly has been seen, and for good looks and fine points she is the handsomest Stockwell out. With magnificent shoulders and powerful racing- like quarters, she has a good round barrel, a grand forehand, and one of the sweetest heads ever sketched, even as the ideal of an artist's study. With that blaze of white that always will speak for blood in a chesnut, her very first glance as she turns towards you tells of her lady- ship's high breeding, and you only like her better as she extends herself, and goes by with a long easy stride that is of itself a character. Much as Lady Augusta was fancied last year, we take her to be still more worthy of regard now, as one of the few out that have really fulfilled all they pro- mised. A reference to the description of the race will show that she won with ridiculous ease, and that Lord Stamford could even have won with another. Flying Fish, who was also clear of her company, is a very level, clever filly, with a deal of merit to be discovered in looking her over, but not all of the style and fashion of her fair companion. The latter, Lady Augusta, by Stockwell out of Meeanee, by Touchstone, was bred by Lord Derby, at whose sale of yearlings she was purchased by Lord Stamford for 600gs. Moderate as was unquestionably the field behind her, the decision of the Thousand Guineas could only tend to raise the character of the Two Thousand Guineas horses, the second for which, as it will be remembered, once gave Lady Au- gusta 101b and beat her a head, another of the same lot of horses running home alongside her at the same difference of weights. By this and that, or by Lady Augusta's running alone, the Two Thousand form would seem to be higher than people were inclined to con- sider it on Tuesday afternoon. Our own impression, however, is that nothing out during last week has improved in anything like an equal degree with Lord Stamford's filly, and that were Lady Augusta and Saccharometer again brought out at the Chesterfield 8takes weights, it must be with a different result. There was, indeed, a very strong opinion that the mare should have been the first of the two when they did meet; while, so far as the sex can be trusted, the Oaks would seem to be over. Indeed, Lord Stamford's luck fairly turned with that sporting race over the Beacon on the Tuesday morning, and by the time they came to saddle for the Thousand, the world began to see in what force the stable was after all. The winner, with her bottle- holder, held a levee after the race, of which she showed little or no " symptoms,' and walked away into the town as gaily as she might have done after an exercise gallop. Lord Stamford has now succeeded in winning both the great three year old stakes at Newmarket, having landed the Two Thousand in 1861 with Diophanteis, when a mare out of the town, Mr Fleming's Nemesis, also carried off the companion stake. With these other recent excep- tions Newmarket has not for many seasons shown so good a hand, or been strong enough to keep both the good things at home. Of the race itself little can be said, save that it was a hollow affair, for Lord Stamford's pair were in front after half a mile, and Lady Augusta achieved one of the easiest One Thousand triumphs on record, finishing three lengths in front of her stable companion, Flying Fish, who, going very easily, finished the same distance in advance of Lord Anglesey's filly, while thefa- vourite could never get near the front; and the easy triumph of her ladyship would lead to the inference that the lot behind the leading pair were not precisely " first class.'' The winner, however, had been most highly tried, and the only fears— very unfounded, as it turned out— were that she would not stay. Lord Stamford, whose success was hailed with hearty cheers, wins a good stake, although on principle we must decline to set forth the precise amount, being perfectly convinced that it is quite unnecessary to bring before the public the exact amount of all winnings or losings. Southport pulled off the next Sweep- stakes, over half a mile, and Cerintha— for whom it was esteemed an equally good thing— the Handicap Sweepstakes over the T. Y. C. In the former race we must, however, note that Strawberry Hill's saddle slipping round just after starting, her jockey rode her home under difficulties, and soon after passing the new Stand he was compelled to jump off, as the saddle was sliding away further and further. Challoner lumped off without sustaining injury, when away went the mare, and dashed homewards across the Heath and down the High- street The last race of the day, the Handicap Plate across the flat, brought out nine runners, but from the Abingdon Mile bottom it was a mat< h with Harlequin and Win- grave. The former struggled on, though so " groggy'' that Fordham could hardly keep him from rolling against Wingrave, towards whom he " hung" all the way up the finish, and the latter just got home a head in advance. By the betting up to six o'clock it will be seen that Lady Augusta's victory led to renewed inquiries after Automaton for the Derby, against whom the highest offer was 15 to 1, while his stable companion, Avenger, was also " askedafter."

Scarcely half a mile had been traversed when Cadeau gave way to Lord Stam- ford's pair, of whom Lady Augusta soon went to the fore, and the remainder of the race admits of little description, for Lady Augusta, with her stable companion for a " body guard," main- tained her lead undisturbed, and ran home a winner by three lengths from Flying Fish, Lord Stamford thus running first and second. At the same distance from the Fish Marigold was fourth, followed by Tornado, Amelia, and Tease Me Not, the latter two close together; then cairie Crafton Lass and Gold Dust whipped in by Curie.

In about this!; order they ran to the Bushes Hill, where Harle- quin depri ed Douche of the lead, and the latter in the next few strides was passed by Foie de Gras. The lot began to spread eagle in descending into Abingdon Mile bottom, and Wingrave, coming with a rush, obtained second place. From this point it was a match with the foremost pair, and Harle- quin, much distressed and rolling about so as to nearly capsize Wingrave, yet gamely struggling on, was beaten by a head, bad third ; Douche was fourth, Equinox fifth, Fig sixth, and Oberon seventh ; " Lord Freddy'' tailed off.

The small muster betokened that many had taken their de- parture after the decision of the One Thousand, and the betting was on the whole very languid. After 1,100 to 250 had been booked about Lord Clifden for the Derby 9 to 2 was offered, 7 to 1 was offered " bar one," and at last 9 to 1 " bar two;" 100 to 6 was taken and offered about Automaton, 1,000 to 55 booked about National Guard, and 20 to 1 about the Glenochty colt. 2,000 to 40 was registered about Giles the First, 1,000 to 30 Early Purl, and 1,000 to 10 was taken several times and afterwards wanted about Fantastic. The Great Northern Handicap was lightly touched upon, while, during a " noisy passage" of the evening, " Mr E. Hall" offered to take 20,000 to 1,000 that he won the Chester Cup with one of his two.

The first of the six items, the Rowley Mile Handicap Plate, was productive of thirteen runners, of whom Indolence, the filly by Flatcatcher out of Carry, in Price's stable, was made the favourite, but the money going freely on Lapidist, he advanced to 5 to 2, and his owner, just at the finish, took half a point less about him. The latter, however, won all the way, and finished two lengths in advance of Eubicon. Vates, who ran so forward in the Two Year Old Plate on Wednesday, pulled off the Maiden Plate for two year olds, for which Lord Stamford's Corsica was most fan- cied ; and the five year old Black Lily beat the four year old Alchymist at even weights in their T. Y. C. match. Miss Emma landed the odds with which she was entrusted in the Sweepstakes over the same course, but in the following Half Mile Sweepstakes they were upset on Sacrilege, who was defeated by the colt by Acrobat out of Heirloom. These minor events being decided, the Newmarket Stakes— last, but not least— was only left for decision, Falcon, for whom Custance weighed, but who was eventually withdrawn, being the only non- starter of the coloured eight. Onesander was by far the best favourite, for although he had finished behind Gladstone for the Biennial in the Craven Meeting, won by The Eanger, Lord Stamford felt confident of seeing the running reversed to- day, and accordingly entrusted him with a stake. Eeverse the running with Gladstone he certainly did, but was most unexpectedly beaten at last by Brother to Morocco, who, in the race just referred to, did not even obtain a situation, and who was subsequently beaten a head by Le Marechal, of whom, however, he was receiving 51b over the T. Y. C. Difference of tactics in the running, and difference of pace, doubtless reversed the position of Lord Stamford's and Mr Merry's colts, and possibly the latter cause led to the triumph of Brother to Morocco, who maintained the Baron's run of luck. If the First Spring on the whole has not fully realised the ex- pectations indulged in, it has at least thrown some light upon the Derby and Oaks ; and good indeed must be the filly that can beat Lord Stamford's pair for the last- named event. Aldcroft, we may state, though so much shaken that it was not deemed advisable for him to ride again this week, is progressing most favourably. The usual excellent " special" was despatched from Newmarket an hour after the last race, and we may here take occa- sion to state that the railway arrangements for the week were well carried out, and a word of commendation is due to Mr Heavens, the station master at Newmarket, for the manner the trains were despatched from thence during the week. For the Great Northern Handicap 4 to 1 was taken about Fan- tail ; and Carbineer, about whom a report was afloat that he had broken down, receded to 10 to 1 ( offered). The winner of the Newmarket Stakes was afterwards backed for the Derby at 1,000 to 5, but there was little opportunity for betting on that event, and the prices quoted below are for the most part nominal.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at Newmarket on Wednesday in the First Spring Meeting, present Lord Coventry, Admiral Rous, Mr Alexander. Stewards; Mr Barne, Count Batthyany, Mr W. G. Craven, Lord Chesterfield, Sir H. Des Vceux, Lord Glasgow, Sir J. Hawley, Lord Lincoln, Lord Ports- mouth, Lord W. Powlett, Mr Payne, Mr Savile, Lord Stamford, Iiord Strat'nmore, Lord Strafford, Col Towneley, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Wilton, Lord Westmoreland, Lord Winchilsea, and Lord Zetland. Lord Glasgow moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Lord Strathmore :—" That after the termination of the First Spring Meeting, 1863, no race shall be run at Nevnarket over a shorter distance than the T. Y. C., with the exception^ two year old plates and stakes run between the commeneemeat'of the Craven and the end of the First October Meetings, which maybe run any course not less than half a mile." This rule not te apply to matches, or to private sweepstakes of 25 sovs each or upwards. Admiral Bous withdrew the amendment of which he had given notice, and Lord Coventry moved the following amendment, which was seconded by Lord Winchilsea :—" That all handicaps over a shorter distance than three- quarters of a mile be abolished at Newmarket for the future.'' After some discussion a division took place, when the numbers were— For Lord Coventry's amendment 7 For Lord Glasgow's motion 15 Lord Glasgow's motion was thereupon declared to be carried. Admiral Rous then proposed to amend the second paragraph of Rule 42, as passed last week, by inserting after the words the three stnvards, the words of the Jockey Club, which was unani- mously agreed to. A discussion arose upon this Rule 42 generally, which was thought to require some alteration in order not to limit unduly the power of stewards of country meetings, and also to define accurately the time at which suspension should commence when a complaint against, a jockey is not heard on the day on which the offence complained of is committed, and some notices of amendment were given, to be taken into consideration at a meet- ing of the Jockey Club on Friday next ( see below). Some further business not of a public nature was transacted, and the meeting adjourned. A general meeting of the Jockey Club will be held at the New Rooms, Newmarket, on Friday next, at 11 a. m. NOTICES OF MOTION. To insert in the second paragraph of Rule 42, as published in Sheet Calendar No. XII., after the words no jockey can be sus- pended, the words beyond the meeting at ichich the offence is com• mitted. To add to the third paragraph, after the words last race of the day, the words on ivhich the punishment is awarded. By order, C. WEATHERBY, Keeper of the Match book. " THE TIMES" AND " THE ADMIRAL." MB EDITOB: In the leader to the racing intelligence of Tues- day's Times we have the following animadversions upon Admiral Rous's excellent letter, published in your last number:— " Unless racing can be shown to encourage the breeding of horses useful for other purposes, the sooner it is abolished the better, for there can be no doubt that it is accompanied by a most fearful amount of demoralisation. We think, however, it might be shown that half- mile races, with a fair start, are useful in selecting the best mares among those which cannot stay, and as the breeder must fall back upon some of these, if so large a number as 2,000 foals are to be reared each year, it is well to give this line to act upon.'' Admiral Rous might have stated, in further corroboration of his views for not wholly discarding the speedy jades that we often meet with them producing the stoutest horses. To adduce a familiar incident of the kind, let us take the breed of Venison, by Partisan out of Pawn. We all know, who remember the performances of the horse, that Venison was as game a bit of horseflesh as ever came to the post. Now his sire was not fond of distance, and his dam, bred by Lord Stradbroke, I have heard the Admiral declare was a " rank jade." In the stud Venison further proved himself a most successful stallion, and I need only, amongst others, allude to his being the sire of such game horses as Alarm and Kingston. Venison, as a yearling, was so small and weedy in appearance, that I dissuaded the Earl of Albemarle from buying him at 150 guineas, but old John Day, more fortunate, bought him at that price. Venison ran with Mundig for the King's Plate at Doncaster, the latter a powerful fine horse, 16 hands high, with substance enough to make a weight- carrying hunter, but he was beaten nearly a distance by his weedy- looking, but game antagonist, Venison. I men- tion this as a memorable instance to prove the absurdity of the notion that size and substance are essential for either making or producing a valuable animal of any other class than a cart horse. The race course affords us the opportunity of judging of the capabilities of its performers, the stud subse- quently enlightens us as to their procreative powers ; the double criterion is the safety guard that has placed this country in the possession of the best of horses. But from experience we also learn that the most distin- guished horses upon the race course are not always the most successful stallions. Elis was a better horse than Venison, and of the same year, and although he beat Beeswing and others, and won the St Leger, he was wholly a failure in the stud. As a yearling, the late Lord George Bentinck disliked the appearance of Elis so much that he wrote to Crutch Robinson, who had Stockport, his brother, to offer him at lOOgs— the price his lord- ship had paid Mr Wood for him— but as Mr Robinson would only give 80gs for the colt, his lordship declined to take that sum, and was consequently compelled to keep an animal by whose per- formances he amassed the largest sums of money he ever realised upon ' the race course. If The Times correspondent will look over the Stud Book, he will find innumerable instances of the gamest mares producing jades, and when he next purposes criticising the remarks of Admiral Rous I hope he will first make himself acquainted with facts for his inferences.— Yours, & c, Hampton Court, April 22.

In the first place, a death blow has been given to those flying races, to which all the sportsmen of the old school have long entertained the most stringent objections, seeing it was through them the boys got into the habit of taking advantage of each other, disobeying the starter, and causing all the delay at the post, as well as engendering a bad feeling among the Upper Ten Thousand, who quarrelled with ap- pointments made in the most perfect good faith. The Two Year Old Course is quite sufficient length to determine any animal's speed, and therefore there need not be those frequent collisions at the post, which excited such an intense feeling of irritation at Warwick and Northampton. Already Mr M'George is feeling confidence in himself, and as practice makes perfect, it is only fair to pre- sume that by degrees he will bring his troops into order, and allow us to enjoy our racing without the serious drawbacks which have marred it for the last three years. But we must turn from the discussion of administrative measures to a survey of the Return List, the poverty of which, when the standard dishes of Tuesday and Thursday are taken away, is very transparent; for on Monday the names that occur most frequently in the Sweep- stakes and Plates savour far more of the provincial cards of Shrewsbury and Nottingham than of Newmarket, and beyond Garotter giving some evidence of being able to race, and that there were good grounds for backing him for the Althorp Park at Northampton, there was not a single item worthy of more com- ment than is given it in another place. The Two Thousand day brought with it those crowds we have been in the habit of beholding on previous anniversaries. The poverty of the field was the subject of general remark, and no doubt Hospodar frightened many away from the post who would otherwise have been seen there; and had the race been run a week earlier, the absence of so many candidates might have been justified. Last week we gave as strong a hint as we dared that the work Hospodar was doing alarmed many of his friends, and the apprehensions proved to be only too correct, for when saddled he looked as dry as a biscuit, and his cracked heel was very perceptible; neither did he go with his wonted fire, or seem to act on the hard ground ; and so sore were his shins that the great French crack was beaten before he had gone a quarter of a mile, and could scarcely get out of the bot- tom of the hill. Such being the case, Saccharometer and Macaroni were deprived of their most formidable opponent, and the race was at once thrown open to them, for Blue Mantle was never really in their way. The struggle between the real Newmarket horse and the ex- Newmarket one was not of long duration, for the moment Challoner called on Macaroni, the race was over, and Macaroni had atoned for Caterer, on whom Godding was so sweet last year, and who he always declared was only defeated by his twisting his plate in the race. The issue could hardly be described as a surprise, for to all who were at Newmarket the'previous week, and saw how easily Macaroni galloped over this very course before Baron Rothschild's horse, it was clear that, barring the favourite, he had nothing to beat there. With good limbs and sound feet he revelled as much on the hard ground as Hospodar would have done in the deep, and he won with sufficient cleverness to earn the promo- tion in the Derby betting universally bestowed upon horses of his class, but still, although no fault is to be found with the way in which he won, it has not shaken Lord Clifden, and in the provinces a strong impression prevails among the best judges who saw the race that we shall have to look to the established crack. Saccharometer's position, although disappointing to his friends in one respect, in another point of view was flattering, for never did so peppered a favourite run so straight, or put his enemies in such a state of trepidation. Therefore, those who backed the horse at the recommendation of his noble owner, and from con fidence in his trainer and jockey, had no cause to complain of being misWSd. That he might have been a little " big" we admit, but' then with the difficulties his trainer had commencing with him, there is every excuse for the fact, and we doubt, even with any change of stables, if ever he will improve his position with regard to Macaroni. Rapid Rhone disproved the name that was given him last autumn as he ran slow throughout the race, and must be added to the list of " settled for the Derby." The One Thousand Guineas form heightened the value of that of the Two Thousand for it will be recollected in the Chesterfield Stakes* Saccharometer and Lady Augusta could scarcely be parted, and there was a general feeling of rejoicing on the Heath that Lord Stamford had succeeded in pulling oft' " a real good thing,'' and at present his filly seems to have reduced the Oaks to a mere ques tion of health. With the other events we are hardly called on to deal, with such a pressure on our columns, and we must leave them to speak for themselves, and turn from the consideration of the past to that of the future. The racing of the forthcoming week wiH be divided between the north and south western districts, York claiming Tuesday and Wednesday, and Salisbury the Thursday and Friday ; and as the Malton Meeting, through the fanaticism of the new lord of the soil, has been placed in schedule A and disfranchised, the better will be the attendance at the Wiltshire gathering, which is famous for the extraordinary turns it has given the fielders on many occasions. The York Spring Meeting almost invariably provides good sport for those who patronise it, but on this occasion there is no Elling- ton in its list, nor any Derby horse of the slightest pretensions engaged. Nevertheless so many movements on the Derby rela- tive tothe Northern horses are worked on Knavesmire during this meeting, that few bookmakers can resist the tempting rail- way opportunities of visiting it. Out of the six races and a match that are set down for Tuesday, the first in order is the Craven, to which there are nine subscribers, and after what we witnessed in the City and Suburban, we are very confident Comet will show Wetsail and the others his " tail." The Knavesmire Plate, which is for two year olds and three year olds, has found seventeen patrons, and we conceive will be- come a match between Lady Niclioll and Livingston, and if we have any preferenceforone over the other it would be for the mare. The Great Northern Handicap, from its excellence of construc- tion, has been speculated upon in the public markets earlier than usual, and by the time the telegraph is finished and hoisted, we have a confirmed impression it will be discovered to be a good betting race for the Ring. The field, judging by the quotations and the list, will be manufactured of Carbineer, Joey Jones, Had- dington, Knutsford, Adventurer, Welcome, Piccador, Prologue, Donnybrook, Double X, Lama, Physalis colt, Middlewatch, Fantail, Contralto, Manfred, and East Lancashire. From the partiality of Yorkshiremen for " the spots," as well as the high character of Carbineer from running Asteroid to a head at Ascot, he has been made first favourite, and looks likely to keep the place to the last, for Knavesmire is one of the strongest holding grounds in Yorkshire, and moderate horses always tire over it more than they do over any other course. If Astereid was in now at the weight, his friends would jump at a very short price about him, so we imagine the same will be adopted about Car- bineer, and with no cause for regret. Recently, however, a move- ment has set in of a hostile character to Carbineer, and favourable to Lord Zetland's other nomination, Piccador, who, if he be as good as when he ran Haddington to a head at Richmond, giving him lib, he may be said to have as good a chance as his companion, with whom we are now forced to couple him. By their penalties, Joey Jones, Haddington, and Adventurer are done with, and Wel- come, without anything extra, will be more at home in a handi- cap the next day. The Physalis colt may run more forward than at Newmarket, as he now has an extra distance to travel; but as we expect Lord Glasgow's stable to be all out of form, we shall wait until the autumn to see it develop its excellence. Lama has an outside chance, and no more. Middlewatch was once on a time talked of as a good thing for the Chester Cup, but having lately made his bow in the betting, we presume he has been found wanting at home. Contralto will not be " high" enough for this event, or he must have been much improved; and neither Manfx'ed nor East Lancashire can enlist our votes. So we must look to Fantail, who won in such an exercise canter this week, to tackle Carbineer or Piccador ; and if there is a better in the race than this pair, we own our ingenuity to be at fault in discovering him. The Zetland Stakes has a large entry in point of numbers, but the name of no great flier is amongst them, so we shall leave Lord Stamford and Count Lagrange to settle the contest between them. On Wednesday there is the Eglinton, which will just come within the scope of Livingstone's powers. With the Londesborough Cup we are almost afraid to meddle until the first day's running is over, but Ace of Clubs, Juliet, Blackcock, and Trump Queen may be expected to figure well in the contest. The Flying Dutchman's Handicap seems likely to be appropri- ated by Adventurer or Welcome. At the same time, Lord Glas- gow's Barbatus colt should not be everlooked. The Salisbury Meeting, since the erection of so many fresh racing establishments within its vicinity, has become an " esta- blished fact" in the western district; while'the defeat of so many favourites in succession for the Queen's Plate and other events have rendered it very popular with the Ring. Mr Figes, the Clerk of the Course, by the increase of the patronage bestowed upon him, has been enabled to enlarge his card considerably, so that, if the public at large are not materially interested in the doings on the Downs, the residents in the neighbourhood will have ample amusement provided for them. Like York, there is no occasion to dwell much upon preliminaries, and, except upon the Wiltshire Stakes, we do not believe there is any race in which we can be of use to our readers. The Wilt- shire Stakes, as far as the handicap is concerned, is a signal fail- ure, as there is hardly a horse of any character left in it. For this race, run as it is over so severe a course, staying is a far greater requisite than speed; and looking over the select few left to which the race will be confined, we are inclined to give the preference to Mr Clarke's filly and the Princess Vocqsal; but if Woodyeates made a demonstration in favour of Dr Syntax, the movement should not be overlooked, and we should prefer him to the latter mare.

We understand that the Stewards of the Jockey Club have in- structed their solicitors, Messrs Kitchener and Fenn, to commence an action against this well- known writer for tres- passing on the Heath at Newmarket after the notice of ejectment that had been served on him. In order to fa- cilitate the trying ef the case, we have been informed that " Argus" waited on Thursday upon the solicitors of the Club, and with a view to prevent Lord Coventry being produced as a witness of his trespass on the Two Thousand day, agreed with the solicitors in question to await the arrival of their Clerk on the Flat, in order that there might not be the slightest obstacle to the right in question being tried on its merits. Such a course, it must be confessed, speaks well for the bond fides of " Argus," but we trust, even at the eleventh hour, that the scandal of a public trial in such a case may be prevented. LINCOLN GREAT HORSE SHOW- APHIL 24. This horse mart opened on Tuesday, April 21, under the man- date of the town clerk, Mr Tweed, with a fine show of handsome and valuable animals. The large attendance of London and pro- vincial horse dealers ( professional and amateur), jobmasters, horse contractors, and continental agents induced] breeders, & c, to ask high figures, and during the first day sales were limited to " choice picks," special " selections," and " match pairs," but on the resumption of the fair on Wednesday and following day the busi- ness was more excited, and assumed an active competition and ex- tensively transacted. The following were the selling figures:— Horses rising four and five years, of fine symmetry and substance, suitable for private carriage uses, 60gs to 70gs; neat, active, clean- legged ditto, for light broughams, 40gs to 55gs; horses of good action and high fashion, for phaeton, park riding and driving, chargers and other saddle purposes 70gs to 85gs; and matched pairs of bays and greys for double harness 150gs to 180gs; thick- set, short- jointed, well grown cattle for hackney work, public vehicles, carriers, artillery, and other military purposes 28gs to 38gs; active, sound, young cart horses, adapted for heavy draught and town work, brewers, & c, 45gs to 50g8; and seasoned ditto, for agricultural work, 25gs to 30gs; blood stock, hunters of good pedigree and up to heavy weight, 75gs to 90gs; and ditto of celebrity, and suitable to go over heavy country, and good fencers, were in high compe- tition, prices varying from 120gs to 200gs and upwards; young Irish horses, of good promise, 40gs to 55gs; cover hacks, galloways, roadsters, & c, 25gs to 40gs; neat, compact, strong- built, weight- carrying cobs, 24gs to 30gs; and ditto for harness, 30gs to 40gs. Horses of secondary qualifications were in dull demand. A good business was done in brood mares, colts, foals, & c, among breeders. The fair formally opens on Saturday, but the cream of the horse show is sold, and are now on transit from Lincoln to the Continent, Metropolis, and provinces. The Lon- don horse dealers bought largely of first- class descriptions of harness and riding horses. Mr Beaumont's ch f Vanessa MrE.

Hawley ( sealed up) out of Bridal Lord Stamford's New York CURRAGH APRIL MEETING. The flat racing season will commence at the Curragh early next week, but, from the limited number of horses doing strong work, the fields in general will not be large; however, that does not lessen the probability of exciting contests. Latterly the Curragh Meetings have not been supported as they should be by the owners of horses, and they are becoming more lifeless every year. The handicapping of horses has been repeatedly complained of, and it is of vital consequence to the prosperity of the four meet- ings held during the year at head- quarters that as much care and impartiality should be used in adjusting weights as possible, so as to give all a reasonable chance of success, and thus do away with cause for unfavourable remarks. The health of horses in training is stated to be most favourable, but there is a general complaint upon the part of trainers of the want of employment, and the removal of horses to Newmarket and elsewhere, which it is reasonable to suppose arises from dissatisfaction on the part of owners of horses as to the care taken of them, and the skill dis- played in their preparation. There are no more respectable, trustworthy, and competent men in their line of life than the Curragh trainers, but it is evident that the time has come when they will have to use every precaution, and, by activity and care, invite an increase of employment, as the youngsters sent over the Channel will return to fulfil their engagements, and the moment they enter the saddling paddock the public will begin to scan them and compare their form with the home- trained ones; there- fore trainers will see the necessity of bringing all their experience into play in the preparation of horses entrusted to their charge. On this occasion the number of starters for the First Class of the Madrids will be very limited, and therefore our task of making a selection is rendered easy, in the absence of Roman Bee or Tourist, either of whom could pull through, we look to either Emily or the turned loose daughter of Voltigeur, Agility, to win; and as it is well known the latter was amiss all last season, and is in form now, it would not surprise us to see her carry off this event, especially as she has the tine staying blood of Voltigeur in her veins, and a feather weight on her back, and if she does not prove successful, the sooner she is put out of training the better for her owner. All engaged in the Kildare Handicap are likely to face the starter, and as Mr St George has two good ones engaged, if MrCockin's filly Acorn cannot lower his colours none of the others can. For the Trainers' Stakes ( Handicap), for which a dozen re- mained in, our leaning is in favour of either Minerva or Mainstay, in the event of the absence of The Lawyer of course. It is likely that among the acceptors for the Free Handicap on Wednesday, for which forty- seven horses were weighted, will be found the following :— Castle Hacket, 4 yrs, 8st; Redskin, 4 yrs, 7st; Thady Foley, 4 yrs, 7st; Woodman, 4 yrs, 7st; Duke of Cambridge, 3yrs, 6st 10lb; Vouralac, 6 yrs, 6st 101b; Dhu Regan, 3 yrs. 6st 41b. If any of the above small lot should prove successful, we give the preference to Thady Foley, Woodman, or Dhu Regan. On Thurs- day it is probable that the Second Class of Madrids will fall to either Spring Daisy or Agility ; however, the result of the First Class will help to indicate the winner. This is the only event as yet closed for the above day. Several horses, it is expected, will be sent over the water from Goodwin's and Cliffs, but what they will be we have not as yet heard. The courses have been carefully looked to by the proper authority, and are in admirable order. PROGRAMME OF CURRAGH APRIL MEETING.

Sam Rogers is engaged to ride for John Day after his other masters. W. Entwistle, the light- weight, has left England, having ac- cepted an engagement with M'Caw's stable at Hamburg. All Colonel Towneley's horses have left Lambourn for John Scott's stable at Malton, where they will for the future be trained. J. Snowden has entered into an engagement with the Earl of Zetland. Blacklock, 4 yrs, broke down a short time since, and it is ques- tionable whether he will ever run again. F. Crouch has been engaged to ride for Mr Fleming, who has the call on his services after Mr G. Bryan. The Earl of Portsmouth sold Coroborator, 3 yrs, for 100 sovs, on Thursday last, at Newmarket. Mr Savile has claimed the services of J. Goater to ride The Ranger for the Derby. The Duke of Beaufort will return to England before Bath Races. Mr Reynolds has received instructions to prepare the private room in the stand for the reception of his grace and friends. In answer to several inquiries, we are requested to state that Dr Syntax was struck out of the Derby Trial Plate at the Craven Meeting at 9: 30 the evening before the race. A. Edwards having ( as stated in our last) been re- engaged to ride for Lord Stamford, Sam Rogers's connection with the stable has ceased. THE LATE TIVYSIDE HUNT RACES.— We are requested to state that the winner of the Hunt Stakes, Whisperer, is by Sting, and not by Stockwell. We have received a communication from our correspondent " Observator," concerning a new mode of starting horses, & e, but it is too personal for our columns. The whole of Lord Uxbridge's horses have left J. Godding's stable, Newmarket, for W. Saunders's, at Hedtiesford, to be trained for their engagements. YOBK SPBING MEETING, 1863.— The following match has been made to be run on the first day of this meeting:— Mr Jewitson's chesnut gelding First Whip, 6 yrs, 12st 41b, against Mr G. Hop- per's brown mare Maria, 5 yrs, list 71b. The mare is the favourite at present. Harry Hall has just received commissions to paint Macaroni, the winner of the Two Thousand, for Mr Naylor ; Emblem, the winner of the Liverpool Steeple Chase, for Lord Coventry; and Prince Plausible, Loiterer, and Suburban for Count Batthyany. Mr G. Willins, of Gorgate Hall, near East Dereham, and known on the Turf as the owner of Sanita, lately had the honour of pre- senting a beautiful little Scotch terrier to the Princess of Wales, which, we are assured, has become an especial favourite of her royal highness. It was generallj' reported in Newmarket on Wednesday that Lord Strathmore had requested John Scott to undertake the pre- paration of Saccharometer for the Derby, and that an arrange- ment had been made accordingly for the horse's transfer to Malton. The colt, however, left early on Thursday, in Channell's- charge, for Ilsley, where we believe he will still continue. RETIBEMENT OE ALFBED DAY.— We regret to state that this distinguished jockey was seized with a sudden attack of illness after riding Ackworth at Epsom ; and, by the advice of his medical attendants, he will retire from the active duties of his profession, as his constitution is too weak to enable him to waste. RADCLIFFE MEETING.— Several stakes at this meeting— which takes place on Monday and Tuesday, the 25th and 26th of May— close on Wednesday next, the 29th inst, full particulars of which will be found in our advertising columns. The management have- gone to considerable expense in improving affairs here, having ex- pended upwards of £ 2,000in a new Grand Stand, and alterations on the course, which is now equal to any in Lancashire, while the stakes, to a certain extent, having been likewise increased, a suc- cessful meeting may be confidently looked forward to. THE PBINCE OF WALES AND THE TUSF.— His Royal High- ness the Prince of Wales has signified his intention of becoming a patron of the Lynn Races, in the following letter, which has been received by the secrstary:—" Sandringbam, April 9, 1863.— Lieut- General Knollys presents his compliments to Mr Rowe, and is commanded by his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to inform him that he will have great pleasure in becoming a patron of the King's Lynn Races." It is expected that under this illustrious patronage the above meeting will improve in its character, espe- cially as the present management have gained the confidence of the public, and the course on which the meeting takes place is a splendid piece of turf, and admirably suited for a large meeting. It will be held jn September, when his royal highness will be at SandringhaiQa and it is proposed to inorease the meeting to, two days.. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, APRIL 26, 1863. STEEPLE CHASING.

Next, ten lengths off, came Baladin, most eager for the fray, but held hard in awe of the certain consequence of just now playing a rash game; while Comet ( her head in the contrary di- rection when the flag fell) looked on with equal leisure nearly a meadow in the rear. At length matters changed by Ace of Hearts taking the command two or three lengths clear of the Cheltenham horse, Saladin, on the other hand, having crept up pretty close to him, each surmounting obstacle after obstacle in clever Cambrian style. Barely half the journey had been accomplished in this Mr Lawrence's Lady Laurie, 5 vrs, 12st .. Owner 0 Mr Morgan's Rifleman, aged, 12st Mr H. Morgan 0 Mr G.

Paddy jumped off with the lead, Falconer, Error, Martyr, Lady Laurie, and Rifleman following in the order named. At the post and rails going out Lady Laurie refused, but got over at the second attempt; two fences further on, however, both she and Rifleman came down, thus early extinguishing their chance. On approaching the post and rails coming home, Paddy held a strong lead, whilst Error had run into the second place. Thus they continued to the finish, Paddy winning easily by ten lengths, LLANBOIDY MEETING. Stewards: Pryse Loveden and Llewellyn Lloyd Price, Esqs. Hon Sec: T. ft. O. Powell, Esq. Clerk of the Course: W. Purnell. Now that returning seasons add largely to the business of the Welsh circuit, it may be well for the promoters of time- honoured meetings hereabout to look sharply after their younger, but co- ahead compeers. At Carmarthen, for instance, the long- admitted necessity of strengthening the programme brooks no delay after the doings of its neighbour during the past week. Aberystwith, we know, only bides its time to come out in a racing form worthy ef the liberal house of Gogerddan. Pembroke holds its own with commendable perseverance, and the " revival" a fortnight ago at Tivyside proved sufficiently successful to be lasting. And now the curtain has fallen once more on hunting and steeple chasing in the south at that veritable " Houghton" of the principality— Llanboidy, rejoicing in one of the noblest courses in the kingdom, besides being capitally adapted for both branches of sport. Immediately adjoining is the beautifully- situated residence, at Maesgwynne, of Mr VV. R. H. Powell, the pink of sportsmen in Wales, and without whose ever- ready and beneficent assistance the chase and field amusements generally throughout the district must long since have either died out or faded to insignificance. Nor does generosity halt here, if we may judge from the rubicund faces of the clean and well- clad poor, whose youngsters are about to be provided with free schools, now in course of erection at Mr Powell's own cost. Invitations for t'-. e week were responded to from all parts, and a hearty welcome given to all comers, those for whom there were no beds in the " House," finding accommodation in the village at a pretty newly- built inn, which for size, edibles, comfort, and civility, might put to the blush many first- class hotels, so called, in' England or elsewhere. Here also, in snug quarters, the old and faithful, but by no means used- up John Bees alternately enacts the parts of Boniface and whipper- in ; the whole population in fact wearing an air of contentment, strong as the hills which encircle the quiet salubrious spot. The festivities opened with a dinner to the guests at Mr Powell's on Monday evening, succeeded on the following morning by that gentleman conducting the party through his breeding and racing establish- ment, equal in appointments and convenience to that of any noble- man of the day. The paddock, containing four yearlings, was first visited. One by Confessor out of a Surplice mare, particu- larly attracted notice for plenty of bone, so much needed in these parts; a chesnut oolt by the same sire out of The Widow, being equally admired for great power and other highly- promising Sualities. A couple of well- bred hunters by Anthracite and angton, were next taken stock of, proceeding thence to the principal stable, in which stood tbe steeple c! lasers of past and present notoriety, including the ever green St David and Carew, rising respectively between a dozen and fifteen, but still looking as fresh as four year olds. That the game Ace of Hearts alongside them was perfection itself, we had occular proof later in the day. Here likewise was a splen- did four year old, by Hobbie Noble out of Luna, by Harkaway, purchased from the Emerald Isle. Altogether, the stud numbers nearly thirty horses, among them some of the best weight- carry- ing animals extant, not forgetting old Esmeralda, at grass with •' twos and threes" in an adjoining meadow. The stroll ended, all were unanimous in praising the regularity and neatness per- vading each department, from the handsome oak- grained box to the well filled and orderly saddle- room, reflecting the highest cre- dit to the head groom, William Purnell, who, with his better half and newly- born son, resides in a model cottage hard by. Of the kennels close at hand, and the blood of the pack, a favourable notice appeared in these columns two months back, therefore we maj- sum up with the remark that, in addition to the foregoing, the farm and its concomitants adjacent to the mansion, alike carry fair management to the eye, while a fine salmon stream, otter and fox hunting, lots of game, and a wide range for shooting, abundantly vary, if not prolong, the country gentleman's life. At noon the tocsin sounded to luncheon in the hall, thrown open to visitors without formality or distinction. The inner man thus fortified with good things, a move was made to the course, where a brick- built stand and weighing room beneath afforded every facility for seeing and preparation. The banks, too, some of them almost wide enough for a carriage drive on the top, were all that could be wished, sound as a bell, and, with care, not precisely difficult to get over. By way of variety, made flying jumps here and there intersected the line, with two or three " doubles," and a nicely turfed straight to finish. Commencing at half- past two, Butterfly first pulled off the Llanboidy Stakes, the stable, it will be seen also furnishing the winner of the Open Chase, next on the card. For the latter event Cardinal, Mary Ann, Miss Nightin- gale, and Spanish Lancer were announced as non- starters over- night, and no rider being procurable for Gingerbread further cut down the field to a quartette only. Of these slight odds were betted on Ace of Hearts, who however was unable to concede 261b to the clever banking Reuter, though unquestionably the greatest merit is due to the faultless and steady riding of George Holtnan. The concluding struggle between this pair well repaid the long pilgrimages of many who witnessed it, inasmuch as close at home it looked very like a repetition of the memorable dead heating performance. The favourite, however, though beaten was not disgraced, and nothing could exceed the frankness of his owner at the scale, when he heartily shook hands with the successful parties, and warmly congratulated them on the fact of having vanquished him on his own ground at last. The upset of Comet and George Stevens being duly chronicled below, it needs only saying here that the latter miraculously escaped permanent if not fatal injury, but it is very doubtful if the inare will run again. The exceedingly patient handling by Mr Riddell of the Devonshire horse Saladin amounted to quite a marvel among the natives here, who appear scarcely to comprehend the possibility of an English horse sur- mounting a Welsh country without some blunder or fall, neither of which befel the steeple chaser in question to- day, who, used to banks, won at South Molton on the 1st inst, and a few days after cot beaten a head only at Tavistock, same rider as now up. Owing to the tumbles of some, and going wrong of Spanish Lancer and another, at the moment it seemed all up but shouting for Mr Loveden's horse, the U. H. C. Chase proved a very easy thing for Miss Nightingale, the winner also at Cardigan ; pre- vious to which she was the property of Mr W. O. Brigstocke, ( kindly officiating as judge at Llanboidy), but who swapped her for a hunter with Mr Powell, thus leaving the latter no cause for regret at the new acquisition to his stable. In the evening a nu- merously attended ordinary at the Maesgwynne, presided over by the stewards, afforded an opportunity for showing respect to the worthy founder of the gathering and promoter- general of the sport, whose health was drunk in a bumper, with foxhunting honours and protracted applause. In a brief but hearty speech, Mr Powell thanked his friends for so flattering a reception, as- suring them that he felt more pleased at losing that day than if his horse had pulled through, for it would at least modify the idea abroad that himself only had a chance over a Welsh line, i'he chairman then proposed " D. Jones, Ksq, M. P., andCaptS. Davies, the stewards elect:" whereupon the former expressed the delight he had experienced in attending the meeting, and intimated his intention of giving a cup for competition next year. The name of the honorary secretary being likewise rapturously received, that gentleman neatly responded by assuring them of the pride he always took in providing for their amusement, and should be sufficiently rewarded for the present by renewed subscriptions to the fund, and a jolly good entry for the race then about to close. " The Ladies, and Mrs Powell," was drunk with gallant honours ; and a number of other toasts, including Bell's Life in London, prolonged the hilarity to a late hour. Hunting on Wednesday supplied more of an " out'' in the bright crisp air, for although a run of eight or ten miles was obtained, the scent was bad, and " sly boots " at length being headed, got clear away at last. Thursday's racing was chiefly noticeable for the introduction of a new race, restricted to horses and riders out with the hounds yesterday, and bringing nine to the post, furnished a most ex- citing struggle, in which the youthful son of the member for the county landed the winner a head only in the last stride; the nine sovs thus netted being subsequently presented by Mr Lewis to the clerk of the course. On the whole it was one of the best day's sport yet enjoyed in South Wales, with glorious weather enhancing the splendaur of the landscape, of which the course forms, as it were, the centre. Late beginnings brought a late finish, for the sun had sunk behind the hills to the broad blue channel beyond when the proceedings terminated. Nor was the scene fairly quitted, ere " Evening, too, with gown of pink, Had stooped at Neptune's tap to drink, Where Phoebus just before had been, At this, his fam'd salt- water rim, To give his horses corn and hav, And rest from labours of the day, To clear their feet of stones and'gravel, And fit them for the morrow's travel." The chase on Friday wound up the hunting season, and with it a truly gay week at. Maesgwynne, where hospitality ruled pre- eminent to the last in laden tables each day of substantial and choice viands, with recherche wines to match, the esteemed host frequently hauling in party after party from the lawn, and otherwise attending ta their creature comforts himself. The party staying the week at Maesgwynne comprised Mr, Mrs, and Miss W. R. H. Powell, Mr D. Jones, M. P., and Mr A. Jones, Pantglas ; Mr Pryse Loveden, Gogerddan ; Mr Brig- stocke, Gelly Dywyll; Mr Barker, Stanlake Park; MrGrismond Phillips, Cwm Gwilly; Mr W. Phillips, Llandilo; Mr LI.

Violet, in advance when the word was given, made the running for the first two hundred yards, when Butterfly took it up with a clear lead of the Ilsley mare and Weasel, to whom succeeded Con- sternation and The Miller, the latter, however, like Biscuit, being out of the race ere it had well begun. Upon Weasel next dropping away at nearly a mile, the favourite, left in attendance on Violet, raced upsides with her from the straight, but neither reached Butterfly, who won easily by a length; the lightweight saving her stake half a length over Consternation. At a wider in- terval Weasel was fourth, The Miller fifth, and Biscuit a long way last. The OPEN STEEPLE CHASE of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 80 added; the second saved his stake; winners extra; four miles; 9 subs. Mr W.

One of the slowest affairs on recoi'd, for at least fctiree miles, commenced by the Ace find Beuter order when Comet, after fetching up considerable ground, dropped thr£ 0 lengths between second and third. On returning to scale suddenly into a walk, put her broadside at the fence immediately Mr Edwards objected to the winner for having gone on the in front, and began kicking. However, by dint of coaxing, she * - . . . . went quietly over with trifling delay, and putting on the steam reduced at every stride the gap between herself and the forward trio, of whom Saladin, still pulling double, was next indulged with the lead. This he shared iointly with the favourite to about a mile from home, when the latter was let out with a commanding lead over Reuter and the West of England horse, Comet being now well in the wake of them to near the spot where she halted in the previous round. The mare, warming up as she went on, had taken two or three jumps flying, and was gamely following up her work, when she tipped the bank and came down headlong on the landing side, falling clear of Stevens, who, shot in advance, alighted on his head, and turned over on his back. Assistance being speedily at hand, he was taken up insensible, but luckily no bones were broken, though he was bruised and badly shaken. Comet, directly rising, galloped away loose, and when captured was found to have slipped her near hock, which, of course, settles for ever her steeple chasing pretensions. Before coming to the final bend some flying leaps told tales with Saladin, who, on account of his queer fore legs, is only good at the banking performance. Upon his retreat Reuter closed with Ace of Hearts, and fighting it out thence stride for stride, the pair over the three remaining banks were in the air together. It was, however, clear that Reuter had most powder left at the straight, but half way up, finding the old one not so easily to be disposed of, Holman took up his whip, and the weight telling at last, Ace of Hearts was defeated by a length and a half, amidst an indescribable scene of shouting and excitement; Saladin being third, nearly a distance away.

Quiz was third past the chair, but, having taken a short cut in the bot- tom, that unenviable " situation'' was awarded to Badger, The UNITED HUNT CLUB STEEPLE CHASE of 3 sovs each, p. p., with a Silver Claret Jug, value 25gs, added by D.

Hire dis Mr Bowen's b g Crosswell ( h b), aged, list 71b Wheal dis Betting: Even on Miss Nightingale; nothing else backed. Spanish Lancer, in advance, refused early, and threw out Whisperer and Master Frederick, the latter overpowering his rider, and rushing in all directions but the right. Crosswell thus left with the lead was closely followed by the favourite, who a couple of fences onwards took up the running, Spanish Lancer going on third and Whisperer fourth, but only for a brief interval, from the place where both were righted, seeing that Mr Harries's gelding closed accounts by bolting into a corner at the hurdles preceding the brook, and shunted Mr James, whose frontispiece on rising bore traces of an acquaintance with thorns rather than roses. Crosswell getting down on his head was passed by Spanish Lancer soon after, who, pursuing the even tenour of his way, even- tually deprived Miss Nightingale of the command, but again de- clining, it was once more taken by the mare. Thus matters pro- ceeded for two miles, when Mr Loveden's horse, full of " go," re- sumed in front, but took the wrong side of a flag, a fact unheeded or unseen by the jockey, who rattled on, just as though nothing fatal tohis chance had happened. At this juncture Crosswell, dropping, as it were, from the clouds, took his place in the wake of the leaders, and became second in approaching the last turn ; how- ever, on collaring Spanish Lancer, both made for and entered the flat course instead of jumping the " double" at the entrance to the steeple chase finish on their left, whereby the favourite taking the proper line, stole quietly ahead, and cantered in at leisure. The " wrong- doers'" raced on to the end, but of course without a claim of being considered in the race any more than the two so early out of it. THURSDAY.— A FREE HANDICAP of 2 sovs each, with 25 added; the second saved his stake; one mile over the flat. Mr Marsh's br f Consternation, by Alarm, 4 yrs, I0st51b II. Ducker 1 Mr W.

Biscuit, followed by Deception and Weasel ( hanging together), made play to the half distance, after which the latter took up the running to within fifty yards of the post, when Consternation came from the rear, challenged the leader and won, hands down, by a neck, Biscuit finishing a length from the third; Violet a middling fourth, Deception well up with her.

MrWheelwright 0 Differing in toto from the slowly- run " Open," the pace to- day became at once first rate by Gingerbread forcing the running over three or four fences, with Mr Powell's two at his quarters, when the positions changed by Aunt Sally, last from the post, taking the command, Carew at the same time dropping into the rear. Gingerbread, in close attendance on the mare, thence went on to the bank where Comet came down on Tuesday, and curiously gave us another edition of the jockey- incapacitating performance, for the rider, knocked out of time by the horse pitching on his head, had again to be assisted from the field, without, however, being seriously damaged. From this point Aunt 8ally, doing her banks nimbly and well, obtained a long lead, but at last began to tire, and dwelling atan obstacle, was thrown out barely half a mile from home. Thereupon Carew, left in front, won as he pleased, without having scarcely turned a hair, while Aunt Sally, coming again at the distance, got defeated an easy length for her stake by Ace of Hearts.

Kitty parted company with her rider by overdoing the timber at a mile, while a stirrup giving way brought Sally to a standstill some- what earlier.

Thence, Gingerbread and Kitty ran head and head clear of everything to the turn into the straight, when they were joined by Biscuit, who headed the pair half- way ud, and won cleverly by a length: Weasel, who passed Kitty at the Stand, finishing three lengths from the second. HAMBLEDON HUNT STEEPLE CHASES. Stewards : T. Cliamberlayne, Esq, and Capt Poulett. Secretary : Augustus Nugent, Esq. TUESDAY, APRIL 21.— Fine weather and a very strong pro- gramme of sport brought together an enormous concourse of people on Tuesday last to the pretty little village of Waterloo ( situated some six miles from Portsmouth), where these steeple chases are annually held. The success that has attended the efforts of the " man at the wheel" ( Capt Poulett, the worthy master of the hounds) during the last three years has caused this to become one of the most popular, indeed we may say the most popular, meetings this side of London ; for, though some of the races created only local interest, still the attendance was larger even than that at. Reading in Februar}', though the horses, with the ex- ception of Playman, Diadem, and Martyr, are not well known in the steeple chase world. Many of our readers will, however, remem- ber Tom King, the winner of the Clifden Cup at Stamford in 1359, who more than once carried" poor Charlton to victory; likewise Error, formerly the property of Mr Gratwicke; Knuston, a cast- off from Y. King's stable; and even old Harkaway had a re- presentative in Ribbonman, the brother to the once- famous Peep o' Day Boy, the winner of the Chester Cup. Mr Hibburd was handicapper, and was intended to act as judge, but after arriving on the spot on Monday, the illness under which he has so long suffered prevented him officiating, and subsequently, we very much regret to state, terminated fatally, as recorded elsewhere. In his absence Mr Chamberlayne acted as Judge, and Capt Poulett as Clerk of the Seales, whilst Mr Wyndham Smith officiated as Starter with great success. Time was strictly kept throughout the day, the chases commenc- ing at 1: 30 with the Hambledon Hunt Stakes, for which Paddy came in first, but having cut off nearly a quarter of a mile in the course was disqualified and the Stakes awarded to Error, whose first appearance it was in the steeple chase world. The Open Handicap produced a good race with Diadem and Playman, but the old horse staying the longest beat the mare rather easily at the finish, and managed subsequently with little trouble to place the Garrison Stakes also to his owner's account. The United Hunt Stakes, open to all the hunts in Hampshire, brought out four or five rattling well- bred hunters, and produced a fine race between the first and second, Tally- ho winning cleverly by a length after the best run race of the day. Tom King made the running at a tremendous pace, and but for his breaking down his success we think must have been almost certain. The Waterloo Cup, the gift of Captain Poulett, and manufactured by Messrs Emanuel, of Portsmouth, was for its value a beautiful piece of plate, and did great credit to both the manufacturer and designer. Ribbonman, who has had a fortnight at Young Ben Land's to polish him up, placed the cup to his owners credit, much to the delight of the Sussex people, to all of whom Mr Habin is well known. A press of matter precludes our commenting further on the day's sport, but we must ere we conclude congratulate Captain Poulett and Mr Nugent and all concerned, on the businesslike manner in which every thing was managed, and in wishing them success in the undertaking we only hope some day to see the meeting exten- ded to two days. Subjoined are details of the sport :— The HAMBLEDON HUNT STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 40 added; for horses that have been regularly hunted with the Hambledon Hounds during the season ; weights, 12st each ; winners extra; to be ridden by gentlemen, members of any established racing club, or farmers who reside within the limits of the hunt; about three miles; 8 subs.

The INNKEEPERS' PLATE ( an Open Handicap), of 40 sovs, a dde to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, if declared ; the second saved his stake; winners extra ; about three miles; 18 subs, 5 of whom declared. Mr A. Yates's Playman, by Flatcatcher, 12st Owner 1 Mr B. Land's Diadem, lost 41b Mr Edwards 2 Mr Vivart's Ubique, lOst 71b Mr Grant S Mr West's Mary Stewart, lOat 41b Slier wood 0 Mr II. Bowen's Podarcea, lOst G. Searle 0 Mr R. Rowland's Kitty Skittles, tOst Holmes 0 Mr Chamberlayne's Pretender, lOst Nightingall 0 Betting: 6 to 4 agst Diadem, 2 to 1 agst Playman, 4 to 1 agst Ubique, and 6 to 1 agst Kitty Skittles. Playman, waited on by Diadem, Ubique, and Pretender, made the running to the Plan- tation turn, where Pretender rushed to the front, and shortly after Mr Yates pulled Playman back into the fourth place; thus they continued until rounding the far turn for home, where the latter again came to the front, waited on by Diadem, who made her effort in the last field but one, but failed to reach Playman, who won easily by six lengths ; a bad third, and Pretender pulling up fourth. Mary Stewart, Kitty Skittles, and Podarces, all fell two fences from home, Searle unfortunately breaking his collar bone. The UNITED HUNT STAKES of 5 sovs, with 30 added, for horses regularly hunted; 12st each; winners extra; about three miles; 8 subs. Mr Fairfield's bg Tally- ho, 5 yrs, 12st Mr Butler 1 Mr Standish's ch g Regicide, aged, 12st Mr Bidwood 2 Mr Cox's Error, 6 yrs, 12st 101b Mr Dixon 3 Mr Cox's Tom King, 6 yrs, 12st Mr Edwards 0 Mr Morant's Salt Fish, aged, 12st Mr Ly wood 0 Mr Yates's Python, 6 yrs, 12st 101b Mr Lowe 0 Mr Briant's Kuuston, 6 yrs, 12st Mr Mitchell 0 Betting: 7 to 4 agst Regicide, 5 to 2 agst Error, and 4 to I agst Tom King and Tally- ho. Tom King rushed to the front, with Regicide, Salt Fish, Error, and Tally- ho following in the order named. At the first fence Knuston refused, and, despite his rider's efforts, could be got no farther, whilst Python followed his example at the rails, and though going overat the second attempt, was unable to surmount the next obstacle, over which he fell a burster. In the meantime the others had travelled on, and the order was little altered until coming back over the post and rails, where unluckily Tom King, who held a good lead, broke down, leaving Tally- ho in command, followed by Regicide and Error. These three raced side by side over the four succeeding fences, where Error was beaten, and the othertwo landing in the winning field together, a fine race home resulted in favour of Tally- ho by a length. The WATERLOO CUP, value 25 sovs, the gift of Captain Poulett, Master of the Hambledon Hounds; a free handicap steeple chase, open to all horses, the property of farmers residing within the limits of the Hambledon Country, & c ; about three miles; 11 subs.

Creeping Jane and Jim made the running for the first mile and a half, where both were passed by Falconer, Ribbonman, and Hibernia in the order named. At the turn for home the latter retired, and the other two running together over the remaining four fences, a fine race home resulted in favour of Ribbonman by half a length ; Jim and Hibernia cantering in third and fourth, about a hundred yards behind The GARRISON STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 20 added ; 12st each; winners extra ; about three miles ; 8 subs.

There was no advance on the selling price of the winner. COUNTY OF NORTHUMBERLAND OJOTHBUBY) STEEPLE CHASE MEETING- Stewards: The Earl of Durham, the Mayor of Gateshead, T. Riddell, Esq, Felton Park; H. Silvertop, Esq. Minstreacres. Handicapper: Mr Richard Johnson, of York. Honorary Secre- tary : Mr E. Temple, of Rothbury. THURSDAY, APRIL 23.— But for the unsettled state of the weather this would probably have been the best meeting ever cele- brated at the pleasant village of Rothbury. Heavy showers of rain, with gusts of wind and hailstones, prevented the attendance of many who are generally present. The arrangements of the meeting were efficiently carried out by Mr Temple, materially aided by Mr Stery, and the other members of the committee. The horses were started by Mr J. Grey, Clerk of the Course at New- castle, and got off on excellent terras. The NORTHUMBERLAND STEEPLE CHASE HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, and 50 added ; the second saved his stake; win- ners extra ; about three miles and a half; 9 subs.

THE PYTCHLEY HUNT STEEPLE CHASES AT BRIGSTOCK. FRIDAY, APRIL 18.— Mr EDITOR : These steeple chases took place in Brigstock Park, not far from the Brigstock Kennels, where the Pytchley Hounds jjremain to finish their season in the woodlands. The 17th of April was most charming day, and the sport drew a vast assemblage of people, Lord Spencer, the worthy master, acting as steward. The course was all grass, with nineteen fences, and all good hunting jumps. The 17th was previous to the last day of the Pytchley Hounds for this season, and was followed on Saturday by an ex- cellent run from Weekly Hall Wood, the hounds meeting at Drayton, in the first place finding at Snapes a dog fox, which we run into near Boughton Park. Though the Pytchley have not killed many foxes during ti< eir woodland spring hunting, owing to the badness of scent, there has been good sport, and nothing can exceed the popularity ot the noble master, Lord Spencer, who is a most courteous and judicious master of hounds. Payne, the huntsman, has the handiest pack of hounds I ever saw. — Yours, & c, VERITAS. The FARMERS AND TRADESMEN'S PLATE of 40 sovs, given by the noblemen and gentlemen of the Pytchley Hunt.

MANCHESTER STEEPLE CHASE, FLAT AND HURDLE RACES. SATURDAY, APRIL 18.— This meeting, the second held at Old Trafford this year, came off under very favourable circum- stances as regards the weather, a finer day could not have been chosen; the only drawback being the hardness of the ground. The largest company ever known at this meeting assembled on the present occasion, upwards of eighteen thousand persons being present. The racing requires very little comment. For the Hurdle Race, during running Kington was backed against the field, but at the finish died away to nothing, and was not placed. Serious Case ( late Syringe) won in a canter, evidently liking the hard ground. Egbert ( own brother to Brown Duchess) running second. For the Trial Handicap ( flat race) an incident took place which might have led to a very lamentable result. Some evil- disposed person gave the man orders ( in his master's name) to put the hurdle up at the back of the course, and the conse- quence was the leading jockeys oould not see it until too late. Captain Knight and Shan Van Voetit jumped the hurdle, but Rossmore ran into it, andfellon Griffin ( who was cut about the head and face, but we are glad to say will soor. fbe well). Captain Knight won, Shan Van Vocht second. The first race was decided by the steward present ( S. D. Lambert, jun, Esq), to be null and void, and all ran the second time, except Rossmore, who was reported lame. Captain Knight won a second time by six lengths; Flower Safety second, and Lazy Boots a very bad third. The Steeple Chase only produced four runners. The Flat made the running at a great pace, which soon settled the favourite, and won by twenty lengths; nothing else passed the post. A HURDLE RACE HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, 1 ft, with 25 added; the winner of any hurdle race or steeple chase after April 8, at 10 a. m. 71b extra; the second saved his stake; about two miles. Mr T. S.

Kington carried on the running until a quarter of a mile from home, when Serious Case took the lead, and eventually won very easily by a length; the same between second and third; Kington a bad fourth. The TRIAL HANDICAP of 3 sovs each, 1ft, with 20 added ; for all ages; the second saved his stake; the winner of any flat race after April 8 olb extra ; about one mile on the flat.

The CITY STEEPLE CHASE ( Handicap) of 5 sovs each, 1 ft, with 50 added; the winner of any steeple chase or hurdle race after April 8, at 10 a. m., 71b extra; the secondsaved his stake; about three miles and a half.

No change took place, The Flat winning by twenty lengths; Joe Maley second; the others did not pass the post. THE WEST SOMERSET STEEPLE CHASES.

FRIDAY, APRIL 17.— The second day, like the first, opened with a leaden sky and threatening appearance, which cleared away by ten o'clock, and left riot a trace behind; consequently the specials leaving town for Sallins were full to overflowing. The stewards, to meet the wishes of the townspeople, who subscribed hansomely to the Naas Plate, brought forward their original fix- ture one day, which enabled them to be present, a pleasure they would otherwise have been debarred, owing to a fair being held in the town which required attendance to their avocations. Shortly after noon the bell rang forth the warning note for pre- paration, and immediately after the telegraph announced the scratching of The Rug, Martha, Tiffany gelding, Phoenix, and Sehamyl, which reduced the number of starters for the Naas Plate ( Handicap) to nine, and the event fell to the Marquis of Drogheda's Oberon, by Seahorse, which seemed to please everybody, his noble owner being a most valued and energetic supporter of the meeting. The Downshire Cup came on next, and when the number of non- starters was hoisted on the telegraph the fifteen set down as competitors were reduced by the withdrawal of Ellen, Nova, Bhang, and Mont Pellier, and, after an interesting split between the remaining eleven, Light- heart, by Greatheart, proved successful, although he carried 121b extra as a winner, according to the article. The owner of the winner netted a " thou'' by his success for the two great events, upon neither of which there was much wager- ing, owing to the principal bookmakers being engaged at Ep- som Spring Meeting ; consequently there was less animation in the Ring than has been seen on past occasions. As usual the di- rectors of the Great Southern and Western Rail gave a hand- some sum in aid of the meeting, and the numerous specials provided by their able traffic manager, E. J. Ilbery, Esq, performed their journeys to and from Sallins with punctuality. General regret was expressed that the Marquis of Downshire was not present to witness the race for his splendid gift, the contest for which afforded enjoyment to so many. As will be seen by the following list of a part of the company assembled in the enclo- sure, great interest wa3 taken in the proceedings:— Marquis of Conyngham, Marquis of Clanricarde, Marquis of Ormonde, Marquis and Marchioness of Drogheda; Earls of Clonmel, Shrews- bury, Carrick, Bective, Huntingdon; Viscounts Doneraile, Powers- court, Dunlo, Newport ; Lords Naas, Loughborough, Dunkellin, Hastings, Cloncurry, and the Hon Miss Lawless; H.

Naghten, Burton Persse, and several others whose names we were unable to make out, includ- ing a large number of officers from the Curragh, New- bridge, and Dublin district generally. During the two days only accidents to two gallant captains— who had their collar- bones broken in the contests for the National and Downshire Cup— have to be recorded. Few casualties occurred amongst the horses engaged. My Mary was killed in running for the Welter Race, and Sunshade, when running forward for the same event, unfortunately met with a fatal accident, having his hoof completely torn off by another horse striking into it, and, as it was a hopeless case, he was immediately shot. It was ru- moured that Grisi broke down in the Downshire Cup Race; how- ever such was not the case, but 6he cut herself severely. In con- clusion it only remains to be remarked that the arrangements of the committee, the judging, starting, & c, were ably and success- fully carried out.

The Friar jumped off with the lead, with 8 witch and the ruck at his heels to the wall, which all cleared but Bird's Eye ( late KilGock), who refused, but was quickly brought round, and was soon in hot pur- suit of the others across the plough and over the fences at the back of the Stand, after passing which the lot came into view, led by Con Cregan by a couple of lengths, a like distance separating Switch, Philosopher, Lightheart, Leonidas, and The Friar, with Grisi and Bird's Eye last. Without material change they went on until tliey faced for heme, when the lot closed up, and after a most interesting contest Lightheart won by three lengths, a length between second and third; Grisi and Seaman fell, the rider of the latter ( Capt Barclay) unfortunately fracturing his col- lar- bone in the fall.

My Mary made play for a couple of miles, with Tyrone in her wake, when both fell, the former unfortunately being killed. Blueskin then carried on the contest, the field a mile from home presenting a very scat- tered appearance, and the heavies at every stride tailing off. The race was confined to Blueskin, The Tanner, and Melody, and the former falling at the last fence, Melody in the run home defeated The Tanner, after a most exciting struggle, by half a neck.

ATHL0NE STEEPLE CHASES, ( Garrycastle Course.) Stewards : J. Ennis, Esq, M. P. ; Col Goodenough, C. B.; and J. Longworth, J. Malone, T. M. Naghten, J. J. Nugent, R. Mooney, and L. Dundas, Esqs. Judge : R. J. Hunter, Esq. Treasurer and Hon Sec : J. W. Fair, Esq. The energy, activity, and liberality of the lerd of the soil, Mr Longworth, assisted by some of the other members of the com- mittee, has been invaluable in maintaining the interest taken in this sporting meet of the hunting men of Westmeath at the close of the season. Held the week after Kildare Hunt there was a fair supply of horses. Passing over the contest for the Railway Plate, won by Jack Shinane, who caine in alone, the first event worthy of notice is the Garrycastle Handicap, for which eleven faced the flag, among whom were the first and third for the National Hunt race, which lent increased interest to the contest, and notwithstanding they had a penalty to carry, much confidence was reposed in them by their respective owners ; however the two old hands, Thomastown and O'Connell, were too much for them, and both being beaten on merit it leaves Thomastown in the front rank of steeple chasers, and the favourable opinion formed of him by the eminent trainer, Mr Murphy of the Curragh, when in his charge, was quite cor- rect, as he has both speed and staying powers of no ordinary cha- racter, and won his race under the top weight in off- hand style, steered by his old companion in arms, Mick Broderick, with great tact. The sport on the second day was good, and the principal event, the Glynwood Hunt Cup, fell to The Orphan, by Sir Richard, dam by Retriever, who wanted a few days of completing his fourth year, and ran consequently under three year old weights, which was a strong pull in his favour. Being the pro- perty of a popular Westmeath gentleman, Mr Malone, the horse, on his return to the inclosure, was surrounded by an immense crowd, who made the welkin ring, The ditches, eight in number, made since last year on the course require to be enlarged, as they are too small, and not sufficiently high on the landing side. Taken altogether, the sport was good and the meeting successful. TUESDAY, APRIL 21.— The RAILWAY PLATE of 20 sovs, with 10 added ; weight for age ; selling allowances. Mr D.

Broderick fell Betting : 2 to 1 agst Lightheart, 3 to 1 agst Leonidas, 7 to 2 agst Duke of Magenta, 5 to 1 agst Thomastown, and 10 to 1 agst any other. The lead was taken by Miss M'Farlane to the first fence, in jumping which Musician, Sparks, and Leonidas came to grief: the race was carried on along the flat by Miss M'Farlane, who gave way to Lightheart and Thomastown as they aseended the hill to th left of the Stand House, all keeping well together, but as they advanced and cleared the next fence Hibernia fell, and Thomastown was taken to the front, followed by Lightheart, Duke of Magenta, O'Connell, Miss M'Farlane, and Martha. As they raced along Thomastown gradually increased his lead, and came down the hill from the Athlone road the first time round full of running, jumped the water cut some lengths in advance of Lightheart, followed up the incline by Duke of Ma- genta, who was running on some three lengths in front of O'Connell andMiss M'Farlane, all of the lot that now had a chance. Thoinas- town held the remainder of the lead, and Lightheart rolling over at the third fence from home, O'Connell closed up, and as they raced down hill for the water cut was plied with whip and spur, but could not overhaul the winner, who got a reminder with the whip from Broderick, cleared the artificial in tine style, and ran home an easy winner. Martha was third, if such she could be called, being beaten off a long way. A SELLING RACE of 2 sovs each, with 25 added ; weight forage ; selling allowances ; the winner to be sold for 100 sovs; heats, about one mile and a half.

Owner fell Betting: Even on The Youth, 3 to I aget Caustic, and 5 to 1 agst Miss M'Farlane. Without delay a good start was obtained. The first to show in advance was Agnes, with Miss M'Farlane and the others clustering up. When they had fairly settled to their work, The Youth was taken to the front, raced along and breasted the hill the first time round, with the others going beautifully. After going a mile Miss M'Farlane passed the fourth, with Agnes, The Orphan, and the rest of the half dozen lving well up in their places to the Athlone road, and as they turned down hill for the water cut it was any one's race, Miss M'Farlane and The Orphan taking it together, raced up the incline. The Youth and Caustic close in their wake, with Glencorrib and Agnes abreast, following in hot haste, but at the far side of the course Agnes rolled over, and Glencorrib was pumped out and pulled up. Miss M'Farlane came to grief at the third fence from home, and the running was taken up by Mr Reade on The Orphan, who, coming down hill for the water cut, gained ground at every stride, cleared it, and ran home an easy winner by four or five lengths. Caustic was nearly down and left his hind legs in the water, which went splashing high into the air, and acted as a refresher for both horse and rider. There was no race for the CONSOLATION STAKES. 0 o fell fell 1 1 2 fell fell 2 3 0 fe'l REGIMENTAL STEEPLE CHASES, 5TH P. C., W. DRAGOON GUARDS. Stewards: Lieut- Col Hon S. G. Calthorpe, Capt R. J.

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22.— The annual chases of the gallan1 5th Dragoon Guards came off with iclat on Wednesday last, a' Sarny, about a mile from Dunboyne. The pilots and their nags were in admirable form and performed in finished style, although a few of them were grassed in the contest for the handsome Chal- lenge Cup presented to his brother officers byMrH. H. M'Neile, on his leaving the regiment. A large tent was erected on the ground, under the ample folds of which the officers exer- cised unbounded hospitality to their friends throughout the day. The proceedings terminated with the oft repeated wish and hope for an equally brilliant and agreeable reunion next season. A CHALLENGE CUP, value 100 sovs, presented to the officers of the 5th Dragoon Guards by H. H.

( FROM OULI OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS SPRING RACES. The entries for the several events of the second day of this meeting being all conside^ bly smaller than those for the first, it was not anticipated that the racing would be of the same quality, though as the weather proved very favourable, there was, if any- I thing, a larger and more fashionable attendance, and the Emperor and Empress were again the occupants of the Imperial Stand. Well- contested races also made up for other deficiencies com- mencing with the Prix du Boulogne, for which eleven started, and in a brilliant finish M Lupin's representative, Sarcelle, came off the winner by a short head, a victory, we should imagine very satisfactory to her owner. Sarcelle is out of a very favourite mare of his, old Cuckoo, whose produce hitherto hp-* s been notorious for being soft, and bad stayers, whe this daughter of hers now exhibited the opposite cha- racter to a great extent, and this reminds us that Cuckoo has recently returned to England, Mons Lupin having made certain arrangements concerning his breed- ing establishment with Mr Blenkiron of Middle Park, where she is now located. Telegraphs was considered such a good thing for the Becond Year of the Fifth Biennial, the first of which he won last year, that 5 to 2 was freely laid on him, but, as the race turned out, the running of last sea- son was quite upset, for Grand Puissance, to whom TfelSgraphe gave 171b and a beating in the Handicap at Chantilly Second Autumn, now settled him very easily at a difference only of 101b. M Schickler's stable was again in force for the next race, the Prix Principal, which only brought four together ; and Nova, on the strength of her last week's victory, was backed heavily at evens, which confidence of her supporters she proved herself quite worthy of, for, although Semiramis looked like beating her in the first inile, she stayed much the longest, and ran home the winner at last just as she liked. We omitted to mention last week that Nova was bred by Mr T. Hurst at the Gouvieux Pad- docks, Buckstone s birthplace. At the rooms on Saturday night there was some betting about the Prix de l'lmperatrice, for the most part at evens between Coinpiegne and Souvenir, the latter being slightly the favourite but it appears that Compiegne went a little wrong at the eleventh hour, which obliged the Confederates to run Gabrielle d'Estrees instead, and perhaps she was better suited for the task after all, for her condition was superb. In this point she had an advan- tage over Souvenir, who, although looking fresh and well, had a slightly beefy appearance and want of muscle, showing the vast difference between a preparation gained over Newmarket downs and one at such quarters as those where Souvenir is located, which we are told can boast wnly of galloping ground of the very worst description. A race between two Derby winners would of course always have much interest attached to it, though as Souvenir had 101b the best of it in the weights, the result in his favour was an- ticipated by almost every one, and 5 to 2 on him found hardly any takers. The glorious uncertainty of racing was, however, here well exemplified, for although the favourite ran with the most extraordinary gaineness, he was only just able to save his backers by making a dead heat of it, showing thereby a wonder- ful falling oft on his last year's form; for it must be recollected that Gabrielle d'Estrees was beaten even by Blanchette last summer at 12lb, so that her present running with Souvenir, giving him equal to 20lb, seems almost incredible. We hear that M Robin ran his horse now with a special view to get a criterion as to his form, that he may be able to try his Derby horse Marjolet, but certainly this race cannot be satisfactory to him; and unless the reigning Derby favourite can now beat the last year's winner very easily, at very disad- vantageous terms, we shall not expect to see the great event carried oft'quite so soon to the west again. By both competitors going to the post the public fully expected another trial, for which, by the by, the mare was the favourite; but as the winner of the Prix de l'Impeiatrice is always afterwards burdened with penalties and disqualifications for future races, the confederates were very willing to let Souvenir have these honours, and M Robin consenting at the last moment, they drew their mare for half tbe stakes. The concluding event proved another victory for M Schick lev's stable, which now appears in wonderful form, " and on the strength of it, Charles Martel, its dark representative for the Derby, has been promoted to the first rank in the betting for that event. Report seems likewise to say that this stable will be dangerous for ttie Poule d'Essai or French Two Thousand, which will be the chief event next Sunday, and will be very interesting, as it promises to bring together Stentor, Charles Martel, Grande Mademoiselle, Grande Dame, Fleur de Mai, and several others that have been talked of for the Derby and Grand Prize.

After two false starts the lot got oft' well together, Braschi, Heur- lys, and Volta being the three in front, followed by Egmont, Baron Daru's two, and Longue Haeiine, and Octave and Sarcelle, both under waiting orders, were the two in the rear. Braschi soon fell back, and going up the hill Sarcelle and Octave gradually drew to the front rank, the latter taking the lead on getting into the dip on the other side, which he mainiained to the last turn, when i'gmont went up and led slightly into the straight, but he fell back beaten in a few strides, and then Octave and Sarcelle were left together in front, the latter looking all over the winner to the distance, where Roland drew out from the ruck, and joining her, had much the best of it to the Stands, when a tremendous effort on the part of Kitchener brought the filly up again, and she just secured the judge's fiat by half a head. Octave was a bad third, Egmont fourth, Milton fifth, Heurlys sixth, and the two that brought up the rear were Braschi and Volta.

Grande Puissance made steady running, followed by Tfeldgraphe and Paratonnerre, lying nearly together, and Bisbille brought up the rear, which order of running was maintained un- til coining inte the straight, when the favourite made his effort to reach M Schickler's mare, but failing was beaten easily by two lengths. Paratonnerre was ridden home, though he could only gain third honours, a length and a half from Telegraphy, and Bisbille was a bad fourth.

Frontignan was first off, but Semiramis headed him in the first hundred yards, and then led at a good pace, followed by Mons Delamarre's colt and Trouville, whilst the favourite lay off a couple or three lengths in the rear. At the Plantation Fron- tignan found the pace too good for him and was obliged to fall back, but Bemiramis held on with a good lead to the turn, where she began to compound, and Nova at the same time going up to her, quickly had her safe, and then holding her own the rest of the way, came in hands down, an easy winner by a length and a half. Frontignan came again with a game effort in the last few strides, and was only defeated a neck by Trouville; Semirami? was a bad fourth.

Mdlle des Douze Traits led, fol- lowed by Gabrielle d'Estrees, with the favourite third, for the round of the little course to the Windmill again, when Souvenir drew in front of Gabrielle, and half way up the hill headed his stable companion, who was here beaten. Until nearly reaching the brow of the hill Souvenir kept increasing his lead, but on going down the other side Kitchener steadied his horse, which let up Gabrielle on nearer terms with him, and the favourite com- pounding in the dip, was fairly caught by the mare in the run up to the turn, which she rounded first, and from thence to the distance had apparently the race in hand, but Souvenir here closing with her again, got his head to her shoulder at the corner of the Stands, and answering Kitchener's final effort with the most extraordinary gameness, just got level with her in the very last stride, and made it a dead heat. Both competitors went to the post for the deciding heat, but their owners coming to an arrangement at the last moment, the mare was walked back to the enclosure, and Souvenir walked over.

Stewards : Baron de Longneuil, Hon A. Harbord, C. C. Living- stone, and A. Congreve, Esqs. Secretary : A. Alcock, Esq. APRIL.— It was feared these amateur races would not come off this spring as they hitherto have done, so great at one time seemed the popular indifference on the subject, consequent, in a great measure, upon their uninteresting character last- year, when one fortunate stable, that of Mr R. L. P~ - swept the board without the semblance of a race for a" of the three events. It has also been rumoured, let us trust as shght foundation, that our " drag," which has now flourished - r u. c « * s: ng popularity for seven or eight seasons, was on tbe poiLt of oollipping: but a « a sum amplv sufficient for all ninomlilujiiiiaiiii bu beenaollected, it is more than probable th » t a « peciea of sport. wh: cl, has so well = tood the test of time, will continue to attraa the sportsmen of Old England to this sunny clime for many years to come. Great expectations of sport were roused by the arrival at our " drag" farm of four fallow deer from the Earl of Howth's park in Ireland They were not, however, realised. It is generally consi- dered that these animals would have turned out better had they been indulged with a preliminary run in a large pad- dock or park, or had they even been uncarted in rapid succession one after the other. But really to be shut up in a stable for three, six, and fourteen weeks previous to enlargement, even with exercise in a small farmyard, scarcely seems a proper training for putting a deer in anything like wind for contending with an equal chance against a pack of English hounds in tip- top condition. Some of our more thoughtful sportsmen were in doubts whether those hounds would stoop to such game. In view, therefore, of the deer escaping, a circular was addressed to the mayors of many, if not all our communes, earnestly imploring them to do all in their official capacity in order to prevent these rare animals from being destroyed as " deer accidentally in the country." It is useless to add that these minute and humane precautions proved unneces- sary. They had the effect, however, of inspiring a Pau artist with a most successful addition to our Drag Album, a sporting souvenir 42 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, APRIL 26, 1863. of the locality, which most of our foreign population make a point of taking away in their portmanteaus. Our mixed pack has had, on the whole, their best season, having gone on with great regula- rity more than twice a week ; meeting even as early as six a. m. on two occasions in the month of March, at Morlais, to hunt a hare They found one the first day, and marked, while running it, a fox to ground. On the second they also found, and had a capital run of lh lomin. Our drag lay by during one whole fortnight, in February, in consequence of the drought, which lasted Ave weeks, whereas the rival pack had, during this same fortnight some very creditable runs, with a more practicable scent than after the rain, when they lost a brace of foxes. The two best runs of the season with the mixed pack, as well as of all preceding years, were on the 12th and 23d of January ; the former, of lour hours, over a particularly severe country, with a burning scent, was too much for the master and field ; the whip ( a Frenchman), having the last hour entirely to himself; the latter run cross- ing the Gave the third time only since hunting first came into vogue here, and ending, after three hours of beautiful ting, in a kill. Last year our best run, inferior to either kese in length or severity, of lh 20min, but over a pleauanter country, from the tenth kilometre on the Tarbes- road to BedySre, occurred on the 7th of April, with the mercury at 66 degrees. This was with a fox of the country, run to ground and dug out forty- eight hours previously. Such foxes afford us generally our best runs. The two others mentioned above were from the moun- tains, which hitherto have not supplied us with our most popular bagmen. The mixed pack has killed one brace of wild foxes and one hare, and run five and a half brace of foxes to ground, of which five brace were subsequently killed as bagmen. The « ' Drag" lias not killed a wild fox since its last trip two or three years ago to Tarbes. It is but fair to both parties to add that the easy earths are never closed. Our " Drag'' wound up on the 27th of March with an unsatisfactory fifteen minutes with its third stag. The other pack is still at work, but the sport has latterly been inferior to that of the first five months of the season. They had, however, a very fine run on March 16 of one hour and five minutes, the " whip" swimming his horse over the river Ousse to make a cast on the opposite side. The master and most of the field forded the stream a little lower down, and were in at the finish on the hills of Assat. On the whole these rival associations work most harmoniously together, both parties being thoroughly satisfied with their respective packs and the sport they show.

It was stated some time since that Green, the Australian sculler, was in England, and had expressed his readiness to row the win- ner of the then forthcoming race between Chambers of Newcastle | and Everson of Greenwich, and last week a meeting was held at Mr Salter's, Feathers Tavern, Wandsworth, at which ( articles having previously been signed) the first deposit of £ 50 a side was made. The terms of the race are that it is to be rowed from Putney to Mortlake, on Tuesday, June 16, for £ 200 a side and the Championship of the Thames. The articles say for " the Championship of the World," but as such a thing is not known to exist, we presume the Thames is meant. The referee is to be named June 15, at Mr Laidler's, New Inn, Old Bailey. TWICKENHAM ROWING CLUB. GIG PAIRS.— The gentlemen" of this club rowed a pair- oared gig race, for tankards, on Saturday, April 18. The course was from the Bachelors to Little Marble Hill ( Mr Kirby's), and the heats came off as under :— FIBST HEAT. PEDESTRIANISM. SURREY SHORE. MIDDLESEX. CENTRAL. Hawley J. Barrett Cope F. Grant H. Creser Stringer Murray ( cox) Stevens ( cox) It. Bridgett ( cox) Barrett and Creser made a very quick start, Stringer and Cope off' next, and Grant and Hawley last, but in a few strokes all were level. Grant and Hawley settling down to their work, and rowing in good form, drew themselves clear before rounding the point ( by the bushes), and in crossing over increased their lead to several lengths. There was a capital race for second place between the other two up to tlie point, the boats being at times strictly level, and alternately leading ; but Creser's indisposition forced him to give in at last. Cope and Stringer then rowed gallantly after the w boat, and by a series of rapid spurts decreased the dis- tance between them, the winners ultimately coming in about four lengths ahead. SECOND HEAT. SURREY. MIDDLESEX. Bond Jones Atherstone Bowyer G. Barrett ( cox) Lascelles ( cox) Bond and Atherstone were first off, Bowyer and Jones starting badly, and the latter getting his oar unshipped ; this gave an advantage to the winners, which they held all the way, and, al- though Bowyer and Jones decreased the distance between them half way by their plucky rowing, Bond and Atherstone drew rapidly away at the Ferry and won easily. FINAL HEAT. MIDDLESEX. Bond Atherstone G. Barrett ( cox) A level start was effected, but SURREY. Hawley F. Grant Murray ( cox) in the first dozen strokes Bond NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.— In future all advertisements for this department of Bell's Life in London must reach our office on Thursdays, before four o'clock, or they will not be inserted until the following week.

Co WES.— The schooner Georgiana, Capt R. H. Smith Barry, was hauled up on Hansen's slip on Tuesday April 21, to be overhauled and new coppered previous to fitting out for the season. On the following day the screw schooner Firefly, Sir H. Oglander, Bart, was hauled up in the same yard, to have new keys to her shaft, preparatory to being refitted. The new schooner yacht Babrina, John Naylor, Esq, recently launched from the establishment of Mr S. J. White, East Cowes, has been hauled up on his patent slip to be coppered and equipped for sea. The yacht May Queen, schooner, lately belonging to C. A. W. Rycroft, of the R. Y. S ., has been purchased by Capt John Jones, junior, and we hear is to be fitted out as a pleasure yacht, for hire. Among the yachts in the harbour fitting out is the Lily of Devon, recently purchased by Lord Louth; also the Oithona, G. Salt, which will be ready for sea next week. The Volage, Zoraide, Witch, Camilla, Florence, Sunbeam screw schooner ( late Mr Maudesley's), and Intrepid schooner, Count de Morceau, are also fitting out, or refitting for the season. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. MR EDITOR : Any one who read your account of the meeting of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, which took place on the 15th inst, would have supposed that the proceedings were of the most tran- quil and common- place description, instead of resembling, as they did, those of a railway meeting when a dividend^ a farthing in the pound is declared. Allow me to state shortly what really did occur. The chair having been taken by Lord William Lennox, Lord Alfred Paget was proposed for election to the post of Com- modore. At this time the only officer of the club was the paid secretary, Capt Grant, who had been elected after ballot at a pre- vious meeting, contrary to the express recommendation of the committee of management. In consequence of his election, Lord Alfred Paget, MrHutcheons ( the treasurer), and the members of the committee at once resigned. When, theref ore, on this occasion Lord Alfred Paget was proposed, Mr F. Brandt rose and asked whether bis lordship would serve, upon which ensued a scene wholly in- describable. Shouts of " he will," " he won't,'' " I know he will," " he told me he would not," drowned the voices of members anxious to edge in a word, and none but the most stentorian voices were audible over the clamour. At length, comparative silence having been restored, Lord Alfred Paget was elected by acclamation, and Mr Brandt observed that if he would consent to act after the insults he had received, the club ought to be very grateful to him. It was then proposed that the meeting should proceed to the election of a vice- commodore. On its being objected that the name of Sir Gilbert East, who was brought forward as a candidate, had not been put up in the club drawing room, accord- ing to the exigencies of a resolution passed at a former meeting, another noisy interval of time passed. The resolution of the former meeting was rescinded. Sir Gilbert was elected. A list of committee men was next submitted to the club. Some of the gentlemen proposed declined to act until it was known whether or not Lord Alfred Paget would accept the office of Commodore. Their names were expunged and the names of others substituted, and a sufficient number having been elected, the chairman, Lord W. Lennox, who had throughout done liis very best to keep the meeting in order, made a short conciliatory speech, and the pro- ceedings were closed. I do not think that I am at liberty to go into the private quarrels of this suicidal club. The question now is, will Lord Alfred Paget consent to resume his office or not ? The kindness and long- suffering Jwhieh he has displayed in this unhappy matter has been very similar to that for which he was so deservedly lauded on the day of the passage of the Princess Alexandra through the crowd of roughs in the City, but there is a limit to human forbearance. I can only say that the day on which Lord Alfred Paget shakes the dust from his shoes on finally leaving the house No. 7, Albemarle- street, will be a sad one for the hitherto prosperous Royal Thames Yacht Club.— Yours, & c, April 21. HABET. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The opening trip of the above club took place on Saturday, April 18. The Commodore, Col Evelyn, hoisted liis ilag on board Mr Harrison's Vision, in which, with Mr Charlewod's Jessica, Mr Ingram Pick, the Vice- Commodore, and several members of the club were accommodated. The yachts proceeded to Erith, with the wind variable, but mainly from east. Members and their friends sat down to an excellent dinner at the Crown Hotel, Col Evelyn presiding, and after the disposal of the usual toasts, the Chairman said that the next they bad to consider represented the honour of themselves, and which was only secondary to their country and those who ruled it. He begged therefore to propose the toast of the " Ranelagh Yacht Club," and he must say it was most encouraging and agreeable to find so well filled a table, and he hoped they would go an increasing the number of those who sat down on the occasion of their opening trips. He also trusted that every member would use his influence to induce his friends to join the club, the comfort and well- being of which they were so deeply interested in, and the hilarity and good fellowship of which they also strenuously sought to advance. They had been very much delighted with their trip down that day, and he was much obliged to those gentlemen who had placed their yachts at the disposal of the club. His own yacht would have been fitted out, but as his military duties would prevent his taking a cruise for a short time she was not, otherwise she would have been very much at their service.— Mr Boyd said he had been re- quested to propose " The Commodore, Vice- Commodore, and other Officers of the Club," and the honour had been conferred upon him because he was an old member. He had belonged some years to the club, and had sat under the presidency of another commodore, the present chairman's predecessor. Their success was perhaps not so great with that gentleman as with the present, with whose name there was a well deserved prestige, and who was entitled to their special thanks. The other officers had strenu- ously exerted themselves to promote the welfare of the club, and to discharge with credit the duties which devolved upon them, and so well had they performed their respective offices that it was unnecessary for him to say anything more upon the sub- ject.— The Commodore, in reply, felt particularly fortunate in having the advantage of such valuable officers around him. The prospects of the club were very cheering, and he hoped their matches would go off well and be interesting to the public, and that no one would decline to enter his yacht from a feeling that she would be unsuccessful, and so prevent sport. Some other toasts followed, and the evening was spent very agreeably. THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA- This regatta will take place, for the fourth time, under the management of the committee of the Thames Subscription Club, when prizes amounting to £ 300 will be distributed. Tuesday, July 21, is the day named, and the interest will be considerably augmented by confining the sport to one day. The prizes consist of the champion four oars, value £ 130 ; sculls, value £ 35 ; and watermen's apprentices, value £ 30; all in outriggers. For old fashioned boats there will be four oars, value £ 55 ; and water- men's apprentices, value £ 30. THAMES SUBSCRIPTI0N~ CLUB. COMMITTEE MEETING.— At a meeting of the committee held at the Albion Hotel, Covent- garden, on Thursday, April 23, Mr Rhodes Cobb in the chair, and the following members present, viz :— Rev F. M. Arnold, Messrs E. H. Fairrie, Coventry Walter Bovill, and H. C. Smith, some important business was transacted ; amongst which may be mentioned the election of the following candidates: — Messrs F. W. Bryant, George Drysdale, G. Drayson, A. W. Firth, Thomas Hughes, E. T. Keeling, R. P. Koe, G. Mont- gomery, Joseph Sharpe, W. Strange, H. T. Steward, W. C. Taylor, and F. Wilde. CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES,— At the same meeting letters were read from the principal watermen requesting the club to lay and partner were leading by a couple of lengths, when Grant and Hawley, putting on a splendid spurt, drew rapidly upon them, with every appearance of going ahead, but the superior strength of Bond and Atherstone enabled them to shake them off again; and, although the race became exciting again at the Point, owing to the leading pair losing considerably by bad steerage, they pulled well ahead again on reaching the deep water off the Ait, and won easily. The prizes were presented to the winners at the Boat House, by Mr Vincent Griffiths, the hon secretary. Mr N. H. Vertue ( the captain) acted as umpire in a club eight. CLUB FIXTURES.— The following are the additional fixtures for the season:— Tuesday, May 5.— Junior Scullers Race, for pair of silver sculls, presented by the vice- president.

Any of the officers will be glad to receive contributions towards the Ladies' Prize ; and it is hoped that the club will be represented at some or all of the metropolitan regattas this year. ROWING AT CAMBRIDGE.— A new club is in course of forma- tion at Cambridge, to be called the Cambridge Town Rowing Club, and it is proposed to commence operations on Saturday, May 15. About 35 names have already been recorded in support of the movement, and a meeting is to be held on the subject, at Mr Jackson's Gymnasium, to- morrow ( Monday) evening. The Cambridge Endeavour Boat Club has also commenced its season, and will make every exertion to carry it through with spirit. SOUTH LONDON ROWING CLUB.— At a committee meeting of this club held on Friday, April 17, it was resolved to row a pair- oared race in gigs en Monday, May 4, from Chelsea Bridge to Lambeth Bridge, at lialf- past six p. m., for club prizes.

SOUTHAMPTON AMATEUR REGATTA CLUB.— At an adjourned meeting of this club, held on Monday evening, April 13, the com- mittee for carrying out the arrangements of the opening dinner, to take place on the 12th of May, were elected. It was also de- cided that the Champion Cup, value £ 20, to be held for twelve months against all comers who are members, be contested for on the 5th August, that being the anniversary of the formation of the club. The annual regatta is fixed to take place on the 8th July. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— Some matches fixed to take place at Ar- genteuil last week were obliged to be postponed indefinitely from want of wind. M Lecoeur, of Rouen, has just launched a new clipper named the Rouennais, for M Godefroy, Secretary of the Cercle Nautique. The new clipper is 11 tons burthen, and is very flat- bottomed, that form of construction having been found by the builder to yield very good results. BORDEAUX REGATTAS.— The programme of the Bordeaux Re- gattas has been forwarded to us. The prizes offered amount to about £ 400, and are distributed over six days, viz, May 3, May 17, May 31, July 12, Aug 16, and Sept 13. The matches are for sail- ing boats, 18ft long being the smallest, 35ft the longest, allowed to contend. Full particulars will be furnished on application to the Cercle des Regates, Bordeaux. Should four of Mr Vokins's lightermen of Blackwall wish to row four of Mr Fuller's lightermen from Putney to Mortlake, they can be on for £ 10 or £ 30 a side. The match can be made at Mr Coombs's, the King's Head, Earl- street, Blackfriars, next week. C. Lovell of Ratcliff will row J. Bennett of the same place, or R. Dixon ( the Caulker) of Limehouse, for £ 10 a side, in old- fashioned boats, from North Woolwich to Limehouse. The match can be made at the New England Lighthouse, Stone Stairs, Rat- cliffe, on Monday evening, April 27. DREWITT AND ROYAL.— For this scullers race we have received a further sum of £ 10 a side, and the final deposit of £ 15 a side is to be made at Mr Hobbs's, Westminster Arms, Holywell- street, Westminster, April 30. BIFFEN AND KTLSBY.— This race is fixed for Tuesday, May 5, from Putney to Mortlake, when Citizen M, Capt Hawkins, will convey spectators, leaving London Bridge at one o'clock. Both men are well, and a good race may be looked for. CHAMBERS AND EVERSON.— We have received £ 1 from Mr E. Wilder, Magdalene College, Cambridge, for the losing man in the late scullers race between the above, and shall hope to see the good example followed. COLE AND HAYWOOD.— For this match we have received a fur- ther sum of £ 5 a side, and the final deposit of £ 10 a side is to be made at Mr Hobbs's, Westminster Arms, April 30. YACHTING CRUISE IN THE BALTIC. [ London: Longman, Green, and Co, 1863.]— We can never have too many works of this description, and considering the unfrequented places now visited by yachtsmen, and the vast amount of use the experiences of others must be to those brother amateurs who may tread the same paths, it is a great pity that so few should think of mixing the useful with the pleasant. Since the war with Russia the Baltic has been much more frequently visited by yachts than formerly, but still there is plenty of room for fresh information, and Mr Graves, the Commodore of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, has in this very pleasant volume contributed his share, and that not alone for the " amateur sailor but for the public in general. The work is nicely illustrated by plates and woodcuts, and is otherwise neatly got up. PIGEON SHOOTING. 9.— Eckersley and Schofleld— 440 yards, £ 5 a side.

JACK HEENAN AND TOM KING.— On Thursday, April 23, there was a very considerable muster of the Fancy at Mr Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, Shoreditch, to witness the ceremony of posting the fourth deposit of £ 50 a side . for this important match, and doubtless, notwithstanding the attractions elsewhere' the attendance would have been far more numerous had it been known that Heenan would be present. The Benicia Boy, who is travelling with Howes's Circus in the neighbourhood of London, put in an appearance early in the evening, accompanied by Young Broome; but Tom King, owing to engagements elsewhere, was compelled to place his case in the hands of his chief backer, who was present with his flimsies. On time being called Harry Brun- ton, as the representative of Owen Swift, who is Heenan's mentor, posted his £ 50, which was as quickly covered by King's backer. The chairman then proposed the usual toast, which was drunk with all honours, and the remainder of the evening was devoted to harmony. On Friday Heenan called on us, for the first time since his arrival from America, to apologise for not having called before. He looked extremely well, and al- though we thought thin, he assured us he weighed over 16 stone. He alluded to the efforts that have been made in various papers, to confer upon the forthcoming battle a fictitious interest by characterising it as " international," and requested we would make public his wish that it should not partake in any manner of this character. He had no ambition, in the present state of affairs on the other side the Atlantic, to stir up any party strife, especially on the subject of a friendly trial of skill in one of England's manly games. He was desirous of meeting Tom King, whom he looked upon as worthy of his powers, in a hand- to- hand contest between man and man, at a bout of fisticuffs. He had no quarrel with the gallant Tom, whom he considered a fine, power- ful, well- behaved young fellow, to whom he would do no injury beyond what might be expected in the way of business, and to whom he would at any time rather do a favour than otherwise. Whatever others might say, he assured us that on his part the match was perfectly bond fide. He intended to fight, and do his best to win; and he was firmly impressed with the idea that King's intentions were perfectly in accordance with his own. We trust those contemporaries who have been trying it on to make political capital out of the affair will see the justice of the gallant Heenan's remarks, and take the friendly hint he has given in good part. The fifth deposit of £ 50 a side must be posted at George Brown's, Bell, Red Lion Market, on May 7, when Heenan and King will both attend. HACKETT AND HEFFERAN.— In this match Hefferan did not make his money good last week, and Hackett has therefore claimed forfeit. Rather however than give up the match, he is still anxious to go on, and if Hefferan or his friends will make him a present he will forgo the claim and go on. He is always to be found at G. Brown's, Bell, Red Lion Market. Mr Milsom, Hefferan's backer has since called on us to say that Hefferan has treated him so badly that he will have nothing to do with him, and has there- fore forfeited. Hackett has now left £ 10 in our hands to fight any one at 7st 41b, for £ 25 or £- 50 aside.

The course waa about a mile and a quarter round, and several flights of hurdles were placed in the Ings, which had to be taken in each race. The late hour that our report reached us will not allow us to give lengthy remarks. The sport came off as under.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY, APRIL 16 AND 17.— Two beautiful spring days have this year given Old and Present Rugbeans as great a treat in the way of cricket, combined with the usual good fellowship, as tho oldest can remember « r the youngest wish for. The ground, wlii : h both on old and new Bigside was, thanks to Diver, in splendid order, was admired by crowds of spectators, as well as by the sixty- six players. The cricket shown by the School was very good, but, although victorious in all matches as far as the first innings went, the first Eleven were ultimately de- feated, a result r< ot to be wondered at when such celebrated men as those who pliyed for the veterans contended with a young team, who were, besides, unfortunately deprived by illness of Case, one of their most useful players. The third eleven of the School obtained an easy victory, and, after a very closely- contested game, the second were also successful. Vandermeulen's innings was splendid, and proportionate re- gret was expressed that he lost his second chance by mis- judging a run. The School were rather weak in their bowling, but this, we trust, will improve, and the Eleven at Lord's will be well up to the mark. We observed with pleasure that, in the second and third elevens, some of the masters of the school took the opportunity of imparting instruction to the juniors how vexatiously to stop some of the best balls ever bowled, and how to punish some which happened to be loose. The best batting shown by the three- score- and- six was Rupert Smith's, and the best fielding Maltby's, but many others would deserve mention if time and space allowed. At the dinner, which was well attended by those old Rugbeans who did not arrive in time to make up a fourth eleven, Mr Caldecott presided, and gave the toasts with his wonted good nature and wit. He was supported on his left by a very old Rugbean, Mr Welsh, who presently showed his younger fellows how cricket was played more than fifty years ago, and that it was a good style too. When the games were over, Rupert Smith, Vandermeulen, Hadow, and Toss will ( who were so equal in their play that you couldn't tell t'other from which) were presented by the representatives of the three elevens to Mr Caldecott, who rewarded them for their exertions by giving a bat to each, and then these two jolly days ended with three hearty cheers for the commander- in- chief, whose good management and exertions in getting up the matches contributed so largely to the happy result.

Measures have been adopted, calculated to promote more per- manent arrangements than have existed in this country for many years. A fund has been raised by gentlemen in the county, whose interests are most immediately identified with its? re- sources and prosperity, for the purpose of building commo- dious kennels in a central situation. Newhouse has been ju- diciously selected for the site. Mr Henley Greaves, too, appears to be making earnest preparations for a lengthened term of mastership, having taken a farm, on lease, handy to the kennels. His hounds are for the present at Hungerford, where they will re- main till the new buildings are ready. COMPLIMENTARY HUNT DINNER TO LORD HENRY PAGET. On Tuesday evening, the 21st, nearly forty gentlemen as- sembled at the Swan Hotel, Lichfield, to entertain at dinner Lord Henry Paget, whose exertions in the field as a master of hounds during the last season have been most successful. In consequence of the withdrawal of the Atherstone Hounds from the north side of the Tame, a large district ( which had hitherto occasionally afforded excellent sport) having become void, Lord Henry has hunted a portion of it, and had excellent sport. Colonel Dyott, who presided, adverted to the sport afforded by Lord Henry, whose harriers he hoped ere long to see transformed into fox hounds, the district now without hounds being amply sufficient for a two- day a week, and for the cost of which an ample sub- scription weuld be forthcoming. A VULPECIDE IN THE ATHERSTONE COUNTRY! MR EDITOR : Within the last few days no less than four fine foxes ( one of them a vixen with cub), besides several valuable dogs, have been poisoned on one estate in this country. When the covers in the neighbourhood of Ashby- de- la- Zouch are drawn blank next season, the neighbours of Sir and the members of the Atherstone Hunt will know " the reason why. — Yours, & c, A Fox HUNTER.

On Friday, April 10, the Duke of Beaufort's hounds killed a • wolf. On arriving at the meet in the Bois des Cartes they heard of three wolves which had just been seen. The French hounds were laid on, and the duke's went to the cry much better than they had hitherto done, for at first they very naturally did not take much notice of the wolf. The field of between 300 and 400 gentlemen on horseback ( all the sporting world of France being there), in their over zeal to be up with the hounds, got rather be- fore them and on the line, so that there was some difficulty in forcing the wolf into the open plains, as the duke wished, and they only ran from small wood to small wood, about 10 miles from point to point, for 2h lOmin. The wolf, much exhausted by the intense heat, lay down for a time, and there was a long check, when suddenly they found him again. Contest and Paradox went at him, and, rolling him over, the rest of the pack joined in, and killed him. He was not an - old wolf, which is what the duke particularly wishes to kill, but he took a " great deal of killing," as they are very tough in the skin. The duke expects to have better sport now, as the hounds have entered and understand what is expected oftftertC. This will prove that his grace is right in saying his hounds would kill anthing. His Grace enjoys himself very much, and goes about to dejeuners and dinners got up for him; where all are most amiable and civil to him. ' M ~ fy THE OAKLEY HUNT.— A meeting of the supporters of this hunt was held at the Swan Hotel, Bedford, on Saturday, April 18, Sir G. Osborne, Bart, in the chair. It was resolved, on the motion of Mr Whitbread, that it was desirable to present Mr Arkwright with a testimonial, in order to express the high sense entertained by the gentlemen of the hunt of his " valuable services, urbane manner, and skilful management during the period for which he has been master of the Oakley Hounds." The Duke of Manchester, • Colonel Higgins, Mr H. Thornton, Major Magenis, and Mr Magniac were appointed to earry out the objects of the meeting. It appears that some idiot has been amusing himself by fabri- cating a run with the North Staffordshire, but having been indis- creet enough to introduce ( the names of some gentlemen in the county, he may yet suffer for his impertinence. Indeed, a reward of half- a- crown has already been offered for his ears, of the longest, no doubt. THE QUORN.— A subscription has been started with the object • of presenting Tretdwell with a testimonial. The treasurers are Mr Carver, of Ingarsby; Mr Dougherty, of Loughborough; Mr Barnes, of Leicester; Mr Wooton, of Nottingham; and Mr • Cowlishaw, of Breedon. Upwards of £ 60 has already been col- lected, and the lists close on the last day of April. The New Forest Staghounds ( Mr Symonds's) meet on Monday, April 27, at Markway Bridge, and on Friday, May 1, at Bolder- wood, at twelve. c Mordaunt, b Cameron. .23 not out 24 binge 10 c Hoare, b Mordaunt.... 20 binge 3 0 b Mordaunt 3 3 c and b Mordaunt T.

A beautiful day and a first- rate wicket afforded the admirers of cricket at Cheltenham some of the best sport they have as yet had this season. The ground being quick and true, the runs came fast, and large scores were made, especially by W. Caffyn and Mr Brindley, who both played glorious innings for 98 and 66 respectively, although Lilly white ( who bowled throughout the innings, and eventually took eight out of the ten wickets) bowled better than he had yet done since his accident. Messrs Dangerfield, B. Cooper, A. Tickell, and Laurie also greatly distinguished themselves, while Mr B. T. Reid took the wicket in capital style. Owing to the large number of runs the match could not be played out, but was drawn in favour of Mr Robert- son's side. Score: MR ROBERTSON'S SIDE.

On Saturday, April 4, although the weather was not so pro- pitious as it has previously been, another match was plajed, which was rendered more interesting from the presence of several old Collegians, who took part in it. Mr Brindley's side won in a canter, having, by some of the glorious uncertainties, succeeded in disposing of their opponents, although rather a hot team, for less than half the runs required. For the winning side Messrs B. Cooper and J. R. Robertson both played well and steadily, and got good scores against good bowling from Caffyn and Mr P. Beavor, while Mr Croker and Lillywhite did their best to follow the good example thus set before them. Small scores were other- wise made. Mr Reid again took the wicket admirably. Score: MR A. L.

The betting was 5 to 4 on time, and there was a, good deal of money speculated. When tiae usual preparatory matters had been adjusted, Daisy, with the owner oh the seat, was brought to the mark. When the first three miles had been accomplished, Daisy became the favourite at 10 to 8, but there was MO response from the backers of time. During the performance ofiiie fourth, fifth, and sixth miles the match waa admirably sustained, Daisy's freedom of action being mueh admired. On the termination of the match it was ascertained that Mr Simons was the winder, the* . six miles having been trotted in 28min 42sec. R. Hayes of Walsall has made a match to trot his brown mare against J. East's brown horse of Nether Broughton two miles, for £ 20 a side, Hayes giving East 40 yards in the two miles, eaeh man to ride his own horse ; to come off on Tuesday, April 28, on the Derby- road. To meet at Shardlow. B. Hill of Hathern final stakeholder, to whom the final deposit must be made on the morning of the match. OLD AND PRESENT MARLBURIANS. This match was played at Marlborough on the 16th and 17th of April. The Old having won the toss, elected to go in first, and, the wickets being in excellent order, were enabled to make a fair stand against some very good bowling on the part of the School, Bell and Voules being the chief contributors. The first innings of the School was not quite up to the mark, as certainly the bowling of the old ones deserved more finishing than it got. However, Round played promisingly; and Harbord's 32 ( not out) were well and judiciously obtained. With 76 to the bad the School started pluckily to work to pull the match through; and so good was the bowling of Taylor and Fellowes, assisted by ex- cellent fielding, in which department Butterworth ( the captain), Hunter, Mansfield, and Harbord showed especially well, that they disposed of their opponents for 43 runs, leaving themselves 120 to win. Their batting in this innings showed a great improvement on the first, yet, in spite of the efforts of Cross, Taylor, Mansfield, and Bell, who did all they could to revive the hopes of their side, the innings closed for 104, the Old thus winning this most pleasant and interesting match by 15 runs.

KING V KEMP.— To- day, in the Court of Common Pleas, an action was tried to recover £ 80 lent by the plaintiff. Plea not in- debted, and also that the money was lost in playing the game of ecarte.— Mr Collier, Q. C., and Mr Vaughan Williams appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Manisty, Q. C., and Mr Coleman for the defendant.— The plaintiff, a captain in the 17th Hussars, met the defendant at Pau, in the south of France, in the early part of the year 1857, and made his acquaintance. They were both members of the Windham Club ; they enjoyed each other's society, and were, in fact, on very intimate terms. In the early part of the month of February, in 1857, the defendant ssked him to lend him same money. The latter replied, Take what you want," and the defendant thereupon took £ 80, for which the plaintiff did not even ask an acknowledgment. In ten days afterwards the plaintiff was leaving Pau, and asked the defendant for the money. The latter replied that he had not cash enough to do so, but he gave the plaintiff a check for the amount, payable at the Commercial Bank of London. Sometime after the plaintiff arrived in town he received a letter from the defendant, asking him to hold the check over, a3 he did not wish it to be presented, that his ill- luck continued to follow him, but that he would pay the amount soon afterwards. The plaintiff did hold the check over, but as he heard nothing more from the defendant, he ultimately presented it, when it was dis- honoured. From that time the plaintiff had never seen the de- fendant until about two months since, when he encountered him in the park. He then asked for his money, and the defendant said he would pay him soon, but proposed that he should take it out in wine. This the plaintiff declined. He then brought his action, when it was met by the defendant saying that the money in question was won by the plaintiff at cards.— The plain- tiff, Captain William Wallace King, was called in support of the case, and he stated the above facts, adding that there was no ground whatever for the allegation that the amount claimed was won from the defendant by the plaintiff at the game of ecarte.— The witness, in cross- examination, said that he as well as the defendant played at the public gaming table at the Cirque de l'lmperial Club at Pau; but they never played with one another at the table. They joined with others in the game, which was common to all persons who were members of the club. He had never played for money with the defendant, except at a trifling game of whist, at their own rooms, for £ 2 or £ 3. He could not, however, say whether the money was borrowed by the defendant for the purposes of gaming.— The learned judge said that, although gaming was unlawful in England it was not so in France, and even if the money was for the purpose of gaming there, that was no reason why the amount could not be recovered here. But here the evidence was that the money was lent to the de- fendant bond fide.— Mr Manisty, who had urged legal objections at the outset of the trial against the right of the plaintiff to recover upon the check, expressed an opinion in opposition to that just expressed by the learned judge.— Mr Justice Willes said he was supported in his view of the law by a decision of the late Lord Cottenham, but he would consult with his learned brothers in the other court— After a consultation with Justices Williams and Keating, the learned judge returned into court, and said that his view of the law was concurred in by his learned brethren.— Mr Manisty then consented to a verdict being returned for the plaintiff for the amount claimed, believing that his client had been misled in the matter. HOTEL ROBBERY. To day, at Guildhall, Frederick Walker ( alias Morris, alias Bamberger), a foreigner, was charged with a series of hotel rob- beries.— Mr Ernest Kroll, the keeper of an hotel in America- square, said that on the 3d of September last the prisoner came to his house, representing himself as the son of a millowner at Wit- tenburg, and that he was travelling in England in the wool trade. On the 10th of September he left without paying his bill, and several articles of apparel were missed. On examining a large trunk and portmanteau he had left behind, they were found to contain nothing but rubbish.— Jane Yates, the wife of a convict now under penal servitude for ten years, said they used to keep a shop in Wheeler- street, Spitalfields; that the prisoner came there on the 3d of September last with a man named Simpson, who was recently sentenced to penal servitude for life; that he brought two suits of clothes corresponding with the stolen articles; that her husband went out and sold them for 32s, and that the pri- soner said the things had come from the hotel in America- square — J. Yates, the husband of the last witness, who has been instrul LATEST FROM AMERICA. THE ATTACK ON CHARLESTON. ( BY TELEGRAM THROUGH MR REUTER'S OFFICE.) ( Per Nova Scotian.) NEW YORK, APRIL 11 ( EVENING). The Cincinnati papers state that late Southern journals had been received in Nashville containing news to the effect that the Federal iron- clads had been repulsed from before Charleston; and that a terrible battle between the land forces was progressing within sight of the city. The Richmond Whig contains Charleston despatches, dated the 8th inst, saying that the people and troops were in high spirits at the result of yesterday's fight. The Keokuk is certainly sunk. The fighting was chiefly at a distance of 900 yards, and the Monitor cannot pass Fort Sumter without coming within 500 yards. An impression prevails that the enemy will renew the attack after repairing damages. Seven Monitors are still off the harbour. The machine for the removal of the torpedoes floated ashore, and was captured by the Confederates. A despatch from Charleston, dated 9th ( morning), reports all quiet. The Monitors were still in sight. Pieces of the Keokuk have floated ashore. An impression prevails that the slaughter on board that vessel was terrible. General Grant went to Vicksburg in person under a flag of truce on the 4th inst. His mission is unknown. The British ship Surprise, and the British schooners John Williams, Florence Nightingale, and Brothers have been cap- tured. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. FRIDAY.— SEIZURE OF ENGLISH MAILS.— Lord RE- DESDALE wished to know whether the British Consuls were to have power to open the English sealed mail bags for the conve- nience of the American Government, who had seized them.— Earl RUSSELL said such a demand had been made by the United States Government, and a modified reply given to it; but he would take the opinion of the law officers of the Crown on the subject. QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES ABOLITION BILL.— Lord WODEHOUSE moved the second reading of this bill, which was to do away with oaths and affirmations required on taking public appointments.— The Earl of DERBY opposed the bill, which he said was the same as its predecessor, which had been rejected five times already.— After some remarks from the Earl of ELLENBOBOUGH and Earl GRANVILLE the house divided, when the motion was negatived. PUBLIC BUSINESS.— The New Zealand Boundaries Bill, the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Act Amendment Bill, and the Trustees' Act Amendment Bill were severally read a second time. The Office of Secretary at War Abolition Bill and the Dock- yards Protection Act Amendment Bill passed through committee. Adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY— RIGHTS OF NEUTRALS.— In reply to Lord Alfred Churchill, the SOLICITOR- GENERAL said that merchant vessels, if under convoy from one neutral point to another, would not be justified in defending themselves from Federal cruisers. THE MONUMENT TO THE LATE PRINCE CONSORT.— Mr CONINGHAM gave notice that he would move the postpone- ment of the vote for this monument until an estimate of the whole cost was laid before the house. THE CASE OF JESSIE MAC LA UGHLIN.— Mr STIRLING moved for copies of the proceedings of the trial of Jessie Mac- laughlin, who was convicted of murder in Glasgow, in September last, and in doing so severely criticised the conduct of the Home Secretary and the Lord Advocate, which had left the matter in a state of doubt as to who committed the murder.— Sir GEORGE GREY explained the circumstances connected with the trial, and the evidence tendered before the court, and stated that in the course he had pursued he had acted upon his own independent judgment, and as long as he filled office he always would exercise that independent action.— A long discus- sion ensued, after which the motion was withdrawn. THE SEIZURE OF THE ALEXANDRA.— Mr HOBSFALL called attention to the seizure of the Alexandra while building at Liverpool, and complained that the Government would not let the owners see the depositions upon which they had taken action. — The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said in the present stage of the pro- ceedings it was impossible to do so.— After some discussion the subject dropped.

A CRICKETING PARLIAMENT. that the prisoner had brought various articles to him for sale, whieh he told him were the produce of different robberies.— The prisoner, in defence, said it was a most heartless conspiracy against him. Evidence was also given that the prisoner had often been seen with Simpson at Yates's house; that he was tried and convicted in October, 1861, of stealing goods to the value of £ 12, and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment; and that he was convicted in 1860, and sentenced to six months, for stealing from a lodging- house coins to the value of £ 34.— Remanded in order that another charge against him of a similar nature might be investi. CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST AN ACCOUNTANT- To- day, at Bow- street, a well- dressed man, named Saunders, of Wood Green, Middlesex, accountant, was charged with stealing a check for £ 200 from his employers, *' The Real and Personal Loan and Discount Company." He absconded about the middle of last month, when considerable defalcations were discovered, and contrived to elude apprehension until Friday evening. A ® MR EDITOR: Who made the M. C.

ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE. To- day, at Marlborough- street, Joseph Williams was charged with violently assaulting and robbing Vincent Melandi, hotel keeper, of 29, Church- street, Soho, of his watch. The prosecutor, an Italian, about a quarter to one this morning was standing at the corner of Dean- street, Soho, with some friends, when the prisoner and some ef his companions came up and insulted them, and then surrounded him. He was pulled to the ground, and while down he was struck in the eye by one of the men, who had a knuckleduster in his hand. His watch was taken from him by force, and the chain broken in two.—- Remanded. to lay down the law) to the rest of the cricketing world. But other clubs have now equalled, aye, ar. d surpassed them; and yet they arrogate their former precedence. Now to claim prece- dence in cricket legislature they ought, first, either to be a com- munity composed of representatives of all cricketing clubs of any note, or, second, to be of such excellence in themselves that the efforts of all other clubs are nil beside theirs; in fact, to be '* Triton among the minnows." The first, I rather fancy, they do not pretend to be, but I am not at all sure they do not lay claim to the second. The question is, do the rest of the cricketing world acknowledge that claim ? IN the rowing world there is a club, got up by voluntary subscription, which never pretends to put on at any regatta, is composed of members of all rowing societies, and whose sole interest is to further that of rowing. Yet even they do not lay down laws, but merely by the prestige which justly accrues to them set the example of ap- proving of such rules as are conducive to fair play upon the river. I allude, of course, to the Thames Subscription. Why is there no such institution in cricket ? That there is need of such the present occasion shows. What would Kingston, London, Oxford, or Cambridge think if one of them were to call a meeting, and lay down laws for boat racing ( not for their own private contests, but for public regattas) ? It may be urged that there are many men of all clubs in the M. C. C.; so there may be, by chance, but not as representatives. So there are some M. C. C. men in the Universities; but wouldn't the M. C. C. set up their SHARKS AND MAGSMEN. To- day, at Worship- street, John M'Mann ( alias Brookes) was charged with obtaining money under false pretences from John Lavington. The prosecutor while looking out for a ship at the London Docks met with the prisoner and another man, who, under the pretence of procuring him a berth, induced him to pay , , ., „ , . „ ,, T- sr a Before they parted, however, the prosecutor caused the prisoner to Koln0^ on^ rr^ ofn^^^ Zg. e^ S ; ^ ^ - to^. The constable who searched him found an odd member or two of the M. C. C. in the room. I don't , upon him twenty Hanoverian medals resembling sovereigns, five play cricket often, and I don't care twopence how Law X. ; flash notes of the Bank of Engraving, and other things of the sort, stands, but I don't see why one club is to try and lead the rest by the nose. I looked carefully down the list of voters present, but did not see the names of C. G. Lane, Faber, Lang, * Mitchell, Daniel, Arkwright, cum multis aliis. I suppose they are not members of M. C. C. Why should there not be a parlia- ment, as everybody proposes ? If their decision endorses that of M. C. C., the latter will hold their heads even higher than before ; if not, more need of it, and that speedily.— Yours, & c, IGNORAMUS. * P. S. I understand that professionals are excluded from M. C. C. conclaves, therefore I have mentioned noneof their names as omissions. In matches of gentlemen v players the great de- ficiency of the former is bowling. This is the vexata quastio. Why should those who supply nine- tenths of the article have no voice in the legislation of it ? BATTERSEA PARK. DEAR BELL : One of the most gladdening sights a man can witness now- a- days is to see the throngs who daily throughout the season congregate in Battersea Park to play cricket. Clerks, me- chanics, & c, wander forth there two or three times a week to enjoy the healthful and invigorating pastime. About 20 clubs have been accustomed to meet on a piece of ground called the " Western Practice Ground," but, to their dismay, were officially informed that this privilege would no longer be granted, as it had been specially set apart for the " Civil Service Club.'' Knowing your love of fairplay to all classes of the community, we have ventured to address you, in the hope that you will say a word or two on be- half ef some 200 or 300 lovers of the manly game, who feel this to be an encroachment of their rights, and a sad piece of injustice. Our voice is feeble, yours mighty in the cause of right; and you wiil be doing the artisans in the S. W. of London good service if you will remonstrate against this piece of wrong doing. Surely the " C. S. C." with all their patronage can spare cash enough to pay for a private practice ground, without swallowing our little morsel.— Yours, & c, SLIP. April 11, .1863. CIVIL SERVICE CLUB AND THE HOUSE or COMMONS.— In the House of Commons on Thursday night, Mr Cowper, in reply to Mr Cox, stated that his object had teeen to make the parks as con- ducive as possible to the amusement and recreation of the public ; and in Victoria, Battersea, Bushey, and Richmond Parks space was set apart for cricket, subject to regulations, in order to pre- LISPINGS FROM Low LATITUDES [ John Murray, Albemarle- street].— This most amusing volume of sketches by Lady Dufferin was to have appeared as a Christmas book, but the publication was postponed till now, owing to a domestic affliction. Warmly as it would have been appreciated as an incentive to merriment at the proper season for mirth, it is not the less welcome that it comes now at the commencement of the season, when it cannot fail to furnish topics for conversation in all fashionable circles. The work purports to be the diary of a certain Hon Miss Impulsia Gushington, who, having arrived at full years of discretion, re- solves on a tour in Egypt, in the course of which tour she meets with sundry contretemps only likely to be experienced by unpro- tected females of a certain age. How she falls into the hands of a thieving dragoman, and only escapes him to be taken in and done for by a Scotch tourist with a drunken wife and a scheming son and daughter; how she subsequently puts herself under the guidance of camel drivers, who bolt with all her wardrobe, while her camel follows to a certain extent their example; and how she is then driven into the pre- sence of a certain sheikh, guileless of almost everything save crinoline, and how, finally, she surrenders her maiden heart to a foreign count, are matters for which we must refer our readers to the work itself, in the perusal of which we promise them a hearty laugh. Amusing as is the letter press, however, the illustrations, of which there are 23, are far more creditable to the fair authoress and artist, for artist she is in every sense of the word. These engravings are admirable. They are of course a little exaggerated, but only sufficiently so to enhance their comicality. Perhaps the best is Miss Gushington experiencing a new sensation, the said sensation being a gallop on the back of her camel, when he has taken it into his head to try a gallop. The position of the ill- fated lady is most naturally drawn, and the whole scene is of the most laughable description. The whole work is worthy a place on every drawing- room table, and if it does not receive that position we can say little for the good taste or the gallantry of our readers. CAPERCAILZIE SLAUGHTER. MR EDITOR : Allow me to call the attention of sportsmen who have lately taken moors in the Perthshire highlands, to the fol- lowing flagrant case of killing and selling capercailzie out of season:— Last Tuesday I happened to be walking in Bond- street, and as I passed Bowen's, poulterer, 51, New Bond- street, I was rather surprised to see in his shop for sale, in the most conspicu- ous place, three fine male capercailzie, and three or four brace of ptarmigan. Having, by the merest accident, heard that morning that capercailzie had been slaughtered on the estates of Lord Breadalbane, I asked if these capercailzie came from there ? He said, " Yes." I told him then, " He ought to be fined for exposing them for sale." I may say that these were not the only birds sent up for sale, for on inquiry at Ward's, bird stutter, Vere- street, I was informed three braces had been sent up there, but were not sold to Bo wen. Now, there can be no possible excuse for slaughtering these birds at this season of the year. They may urge, perhaps, the paltry excuse that they were too numerous. If so, why not wait till the legitimate shooting season ? Here is a regular premium to poaching. If poulterers can sell these birds at this time of year, the middle of April, you may be certain of this fact, that poulterers will be supplied with them. Whoever has given orders — if any one has done so— to shoot down these birds, is deserving of the severest reprehension. If they have been poached, let the poachers be discovered. It is absurd to talk of fining persons for killing salmon out of season, when Scotch game is deliberately exposed for sale in Bond street in the middle of April.— Yours, & c. A SPORTSMAN.

To- day, at Stratford, eight navigators were charged with unlaw, fully assembling at Whip's Cross, in Epping Forest, to witness a prize fight on Thursday morning last. A mounted policeman having had information of what was to take place went up to the ring, took the prisoners into custody, and also two other men, who were released on bail, but had not made their appearance. The principals who were fighting, and their seconds, contrived to escape.— The magistrate, after commenting upon the frequency of these sights, said that in future all persons engaged in a similar manner would be dealt with severely. The defendants were then bound over in £ 10 to keep the peace for six months, and the ma- gistrate directed the police to use every exertion to discover the combatants and their seconds. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. The only feature of novelty in connection with monetary and commercial affairs this week has been the reduction in the minimum rate of discount of the Bank of England from 4 to 3j per cent. It was known that the bullion had been largely augmented, and that the discount operations of the establishment had materially fallen off, and the movement was therefore antici- pated. Additional ease has been produced in the general Money Market, and first- class bills are now neglected at 3| per cent, with an abundance of floating capital for all legitimate purposes. The arrivals of gold from Australia, America, and other sources are very large, and as the export demands are limited, a considerable balance remains in this country. Trade is making steady pro- gress, and in many departments strong indications of improve- ment are apparent. The Funds, until the last day er two, have Full particulars in our next.

COOPER'S ELEVEN ( WITH CAFF « 0. Th.' s match was played on Wednesday, April 1. Some very good cricket was shown on both sides, asd after a tough struggle the matO& wm decided in favour of Mr Cooper's team by. 2D. rues. jLillywhite in a neat little pocJtet form best portion of it, about seven acres, was reserved for matches, aud about four matches could be played at a time ; another por- tion was reserved for the public at large, and the third part was reserved for clubs ; each being allowed to spend their own money in enclosing the grounds. The Civil Service occupied one portion, and they had not taken any ground that was required for the pur- pose of any other club. The club was very large, and it was but fair that the clerks in the London offices should have every means of recreation and amusement; perhaps in this way they might get more work out of them. James Broomfield ( Surrey) has heen engaged by this- club for the season, and the committee have been using every endeavour to bring the ground into the best possible playing order.

The country markets have been fairiy supplied this week with Wheat,, and the condition continues to exhibit amendment. The trade has not been so good as last week, but in the value no particular alteration can be reported. The little business done in Barley has been mostly con- fined to best descriptions at full values. The supply of Oats has Im- proved at many markets, and the demand for them has been steady at previous rates. Beans in some cases dearer; but Peas generally have been a limited sale. Flour, with scarcely an exception, has been heavy, at drooping currencies. The aggregate supply of English Wheat, & c, at Mark- lane this week has again been In small compass: but arrivals from foreign ports have been good of Wheat and Flour, and large of Oats. The market was thinly attended to- day, and the inquiry for both home- grown and foreign Wheat was very heavy, with a downward ten- iency. The same remark applies to Flour. Barley taken In small quantities at late rates. The supply of Oats liberal, trade slow and prices rather in favour of buyers.
