Extract from the notice in Bell's Life, Feb 17, 1861 :— " By selecting the best portions from the various works extant, and simplifying the descriptions, Mr Wade has succeeded admirablyin his task of clearly and concisely describing all the paraphernalia of the angler, so that any one with the slightest activity and nimbleness of fingers and ordinary patience may build up his own materials in a workmanlike and satisfactory manner. The list of flies is very extensive, and the method of tying them is admirably described, while the plates of na tural flies, with their imitations, are exceedinglv accurate, and add much to the utility of the book, which we recommend with the greatest pleasure."

Charles Oakley's selections for these great races, which are now ap- proaching with giant strides ( Derby run May 20), are of a veryjfirst- rate character, and ought to be acted upon immediately by all who want to win good stakes. C. Oakley's champion for that glorious race, " The Blue Ribbon of the Turf," is especially good for investment, being at a capital remunerative price, and truly a Derby horse all over. His choice is doing good work, going as strong as a lion, and lie to run for a kiHgdom; all connected with the stable are on to a man, and deem win- ning a certainty, fearing nothing in the race. Remember, C. Oakley never lost this important and exciting event, having positively selected the winner of the Derb. v for toe last ten years in succession. The fol- lowing were Cliarles Oakley's bona fide and triumphant winners :— THE DERBY. West Australian 1853 won Andover ( sent out at 33 to 1) .. 1854 won Wild Dayrell 1855 won Ellington ( sent at 50 to 1) 1856 won Blink Bonny 1857 won Beadsman ( sent at 40 to 1) 1858 won Musjid 1859 won Thormanby 1860 won Kettledrum ( sent at 33 to 1) 1861 won And last, not least, his truly brilliant selection, Caractacus ( sent at 66 to 1) 1862 won For the many other " hits" he has made he begs to refer to Bell's Life. In this paper are recorded his glorious 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 those who feel the want of a faithful and Kxperienced monitor on Turf matters, let them apply at once to C. Oakley, who, from hiB great experience and extensive means of procuring the very best information stands unrivalled. His terms are as follows:— To end of the year, £ 1 Is; six months, 10s 6d: any single race, 13 stamps. Address, Charles Oakley, 52, Red Lion- street, Holborn, London, W. C. c. OAKLEY'S SUCCESS at BATH. Somt rsetshire Stakes Canarv. Charles Oakley advised on one event only for this week's races, vig, the Somersetshire Stakes, which event his especial selection, Canary, won easily, as C. Oakley pronounced he would. Subscribers, put all your winnings on Oakley's Derby clipper; he will make them stretch their legs over the Surrey Downs on Wednesday next. c OAKLEY.— The Derby ! The Derby ! !— Ere the clock of old St Paul's Cathedral has boomed the hour of 4 oil the afternoon of Wednesday next, millions of pounds will have beea won and lost on tlds great race of races. What's to win the Derby ? That is now the all absorbing question, and Charles Oakley flatters him- self he can most satisfactorily answer It, feeling confident his selection will not only win, but win easily. C. Oakley is hapny to be able to say a capital price is still to be obtained about his choice, though, as the animal is steadily advancing in the market, all should get on without a moment's delay. His friends must invest freely, and fear not. From information of the most valuable and reliable nature constantly re- ceiving, C. Oakley feels, if possible, more sanguine than ever of success; certainly there never was a better opportunity of securing a handsome stake. All C. Oakley wants is a fair start, which he doubts not hia champion will have, and victory, triumphant victory, will again be his. For the winner, then, of this exciting and glerious event, apply to Charles Oaklev, 52, Red Lion- street, Holborn, London, W. C.

Power is there the object of worship, and hecatombs are often cruelly sacrificed at its shrine. There is a machinery which sets up to be of a judicial kind employed in cases of complaints in the army, but its con- stitution is so bad, its proceedings so capricious, its rules of prac- tice, or its practice ( for as to rules, they seem always to depend on the persons who are the complainants or the respondents, and to have no affinity whatever to the principles of justice), that it was once said, and by no rash or ill- judging person, that, given a pro- secutor of a certain rank, he would undertake, according to the forms of procedure of a court- martial, and according to its mili- tary habits of admitting and rejecting evidence, to prove to its entire satisfaction, and in spite of the Script ures, that the defender and not Cain, had been the murderer of Abel. To a certain extent this outrageous system of defiance to all common sense and justice has been mitigated under the sway of the present Judge Advocate. But he has only power to mitigate the mischief, and however well he has discharged his duty, the cure of the evil is beyond his reach. The means of mischievous tyranny, and the irresponsibility for the use of those means, are so extensive, that a colonel of regiment seems to have the power of doing injustice to an extent that the five greatest ecclesiastical and civil officers in the State, if they were all united for one purpose of mischief, oould not equal. A contemporary the other day recalled attention to the case of John Lilley, of the Inniskilling Dragoons, whose conduct, under a good commanding officer— Colonel Shute— led to regular pro- motion, and to his being recommended for a commission. Under another officer this same regiment fell into troubles, animosities, and courts- martial; and on a court- martial being ordered on the paymaster of the regiment, it became known that Lilley was to be called as a witness on behalf of the paymaster. Circumstances of the severest domestic affliction then oppressed poor Lilley. His two children had just died, and his wife was very ill. He was ordered into arrest by his colonel, though no charge was brought against him, and under that arrest he sickened and died. Has any one ever heard of an inquiry into the cruelty practised towards this " excellent soldier," for such he was described to be by Colonel Shute? No one. The deed of injustice was perpe- trated— no matter for what motive— and the man is dead. We repeat that no such act could have been perpetrated by the five greatest officers of State without the whole kingdom being con- vulsed with agitation and inquiry. And justly so, too. And yet those eminent persons could never have joined in any ene act of severity towards the humblest person in the country, without having very good and satisfactory grounds to allege as a justification of their conduct. A colonel can do more than all of them put together, without being called on to explain- in any way whatever the motives or the pretexts for his act. There is now a commission to inquire into a claim of right made by colonels. We hope that justice may be done them. But where, our contemporary asks, is the commission to inquire into wrongs perpetrated towards subalterns ? And we repeat the question. Tt should be asked in Parliament, and an answer en- forced.

There is a great fuss in Paris just now about this scheme. The Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs, Aali Pasha, has written a very temperate, able, and well- considered despatch, in which he shows that the projectors have proceeded without obtaining the consent of the Turkish Government, although in their own act of association they declared such consent to be necessary, and the promoters undertook to obtain it; that they wrongfully induced the late Pasha of Egypt to allow of forced labour on their works, which was contrary to the law of the empire ; and which, besides, while pretending to employ 20,000 men, really took 60,000 away from their homes and occupations ; that they obtained from the Pasha, without the consent of his Sovereign, a grant of a belt of land along the line of the canal, the populations of which were to be settled entirely independent of the sovereign authority ; and that such things no sovereign independent State could tolerate. Lastly, be says that the line of the canal and of the adjoining land has not been declared neutralised territory. The Minister, therefore, announces that the work must cease un- less the forced labour is given up, the consent of the Porte ob- tained, the grant of land for independent European populations surrendered, and the perfect neutrality of the line of the intended canal secured. The Minister adds that, in the event of the Lesseps Society desiring to renounce the work, being incapable of ful- filling these conditions, the Turkish Government will repay the adventurers the money they have expended ; and he then pro- mises that if the scheme is really of a beneficial nature the Government will carry it into execution. The great liberality of this offer will not calm the anger of the Lesseps schemers. The Turkish Government, in thus asserting its just rights, has treated the Lesseps adventurers with the utmost fairness and liberality. In most other countries the plain, wilful, and per- sistent illegality of the business would have brought on the heads of the adventurers the total loss of their advances, and perhaps have subjected them to prosecution. There is much reason to be- lieve that such would have been the case in France itself. The Sultan is more considerate. In the interests of humanity and of his own sovereign rights he insists on what all impartial men will declare to be proper. With a due consideration for the possible errors of an innocent enthusiasm, he does not allow the un- questionable illegality of the scheme to bring ruin on the adven- turers, but undertakes to repay them their outlay, and if the scheme shall be found capable of realisation, to carry it into effect. But he insists with an honourable liighmindedness that if the canal can be made and brought into operation it shall be a perfectly neutral and free line of navigation, and that no quarrels among foreign States shall make it the scene of contest and blood- shed. The course taken by the Sultan's Government is bold, but it is in every way deserving # f the highest praise. WRECK OF THE STEAMSHIP ANGLO- SAXON- GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. RAILWAY MISCHIEFS. An insidious attempt to put railway passengers entirely at the mercy of railway officials, and to remove from the latter the check which the fear of actions for damages may sometimes im- pose upon them, has just been made and defeated in the House of Commons. But the cunning and the perseverance of the railway magnates is shown in the smallness of the majority by which that defeat was secured. The house was far from full, and 70 mem- bers were found to vote that protection to life on railways should be reduced to the lowest possible amount. Only ninety voted on the other side. When we reflect that there has hardly ever been a railway mischief that was not grossly misnamed when it was called an " accident," the urgent necessity for farther protection forces itself on the mind, and the audacity of the proposal to diminish that amount of protection appears positively startling. But with some men there is nothing to » > audacious. Two chairmen of railways have publicly declared that what they call accidents " will happen," and that the right to recover compensation in damages for them ought to be at an end. During the chairmanship of one of those persons the " accidents " were terribly frequent, as of course they would be, when every station- master, driver, and porter on the line could refer to the chairman's declaration, and appeal to the chairman to apply it for his protection. Under a better management that line has exhibited few of those " accidents ;" its revenue has increased, shares have gone up, and life has not often been sacrificed. The frequent losses and the heavy damages that occurred under the previous management could not fail to exert a pressure that was not to be resisted. And if a chairman was to declare his utter disbelief in the word " accident,'' and his resolution to punish, with all the severity in his power, any acts of negligence, the result would be such as to verify his disbelief and to render the exertion of his declared resolution needless. The Solicitor- General put the question on its true basis when he said that the attempt made on the introduction of the bill was one to take away all protection from those who had no power to protect themselves, and to relieve from responsibility those who were absolute masters of their fate. The true rule, even for the interests of shareholders in railway companies, should be quite unlike that. The liability to make compensation in damages should be continued without the slightest diminution, but the shareholders, who really have but little power in the manage- ment, might require that the directors should contribute in a larger proportion than mere shareholders to the amount of the compensations. This would beget in the directors a more lively interest in preventing those negligences or acts of misconduct from which alone railway catastrophes happen. Benefit in every way would be the result. Injuries to passengers would be fewer, and the shareholders, who, practically, have no power in the By the Arabia, which arrived at Queenstown on Saturday, May 9, with advices from New York to the 20th ult, and via Halifax to the 30th, we have the intelligence of the wreck of the Canadian mail steamship Anglo- Saxon, Capt Burgess, with, it is feared, a loss of upwards of 250 lives. The Anglo- 8axon had 360 passengers and a ship's crew of 84 men. She was wrecked four miles east of Cape Bace, at noon of the 27th, during a dense fog. Seventy- three persons escaped from the wreck by means of ropes and spars, and 24 in two life- boats. Numbers 4 and 6 boats had not arrived off Cape Eace, in conse- quence ef the dense fog, when the latest arrivals were received. The commander of the Anglo- Saxon is supposed to be among the number drowned. The purser, first and second engineers, and the doctor are among the saved. The Anglo- Saxon was an iron screw steamer, built by Messrs Denny Brothers, of Dumbarton, in 1854, and her iron plates were rather thicker than used in the construction of the ordinary class of ships. Her dimensions were 283 feet extreme length, 30 feet 2 inches breadth, 1,713 registered tonnage, and 250 horse- power, and fitted with four water- tight bulkheads. She had saloon and other cabins on deck, and was rather a favourite ship on the station. During the Crimean war she was taken up by the Govern- ment as a transport, and was rather actively employed in that service. For some years she has traded between Liverpool, Lon- donderry, and Quebec. She took her departure from Liverpool on the 16th of last month, called at Londonderry on the following day, and then steamed away for Canada with 360 passengers on board, and a ct ew of officers and men amounting to 87, under the charge of Captain Burgess, a commander who is stated to have been a very careful and skilful navigator, and to have had great experience in this particular passenger trade. It has been ascertained that all the maiis and 237 lives were lost. The following is a list of cabin passengers saved :— The Hon J. Young and family. Females : Hope, Bertram, Inglis, Kerwood, Stoddart, Chretien, Wright, James, Jackson and child. Males: Caldwell, Eaton, Kirkwood, Chretien, Towers, Kirkness, Fraser, Martin, Sealey, White, Captain Eead, Hiles, Cassidy, Lieut Simp- son. The total number of passengers saved is 33 cabin and 103 steerage. Twenty- one of the crew were saved. The captain, part of the crew, and a great many of the passengers were on deck when the vessel sank in deep water, and were lost. The following account is furnished by the first officer:—" The Anglo- Saxon left Liverpool on the 16th ult, at 5 p. m. She expe- rienced strong westerly gales until Saturday the 25th, at eight p. m., when she fell in with the ice and a thick fog. The engines were immediately slowed, at ten p. m. the ice being so thick and heavy the engines were stopped altogether, a light breeze from the south forcing the ship ahead about one knot an hour. At five a. m. on the 26th the fog lifted, and the ice having slacked we set the foretopsails and headsails, running the engines occasionally at a dead slow. At half- past ten a. m. the fog cleared away alto- gether, and we saw clear water to the west- north- west from the masthead. We continued our course towards clear water. At two p. m. we got the ship clear of ice, and steered north- west by west with full speed arid with all possible sail. A moderate breeze was blowing from the southward at this time. At noon, latitude 46: 57, longitude 57: 24 by the chronometer. At 10 p. m. the breeze freshened and blew strongly from the south- south- east, and a dense fog set in. We took in all sail at eight a. m. on the 27th. The fog still continued to be dense, and supposing the ship to be 40 miles off Cape Eace we altered her course to west half north, and slowed the engines to half speed, which we sup- posed would hare taken us 17 miles south of Cape Eace. At ten minutes past eleven a. m. breakers were reported on the starboard beam. Captain Burgess immediately ordered the engines to be reversed at full speed, but before her headway could be stopped she struck flat on the rocks oft' Clam Cove, about four miles north of Cape Race. A heavy sea rolling in drove her quarter on the rocks, carrying away her rudder, stern- post, and propeller. Finding that there was no possibility of the ship coming off, the order was given to let go both anchors, to hold the ship on the rocks. The carpenter was forthwith sent to examine the forepeak, and found it filling fast with water. He also examined the forehold, but found no water there. The chief engineer, coming up directly afterwards, reported the forward stokehole filling fast. He opened the valves, and blew the steam out of the boilers. The boats were all immediately lowered successfully, except No. 1 and No. 3. The ship was so close to the rocks that these could not be got out. Boat No. 2, witli some of the crew and passengers, commanded by Captain Crawford, was was sent to find a place to land the passengers. Some of the crew being landed on the rocks by means of a studding sail boom, with the help of some of the passengers got a hawser secured to a rock to keep the vessel from listing out, when we commenced to land the female passengers on the rocks, by means of the fore- yard- arm. The first- class passengers were put into a boat. At about noon the ship's stern swung off from the rocks, and she settled down very fast, listing to port at the same time, and sunk in deep water. The captain and a great many passengers were on deck at the time, and with a part of the crew, were all lost. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE FRANCE. The Chambers have been dissolved, and a new election is forth- with to take place. It appears ( if the words of the Ministerial circular are to be trusted) co be the intention of Government to permit all opposition candidates to circulate their addresses to the electors without hindrance; but, on the other hand, the Minister of the Interior seems determined to put into practice those pro- visions which prevent the assemblage of a number of persons for political purposes without the permission of the authorities. The press continues to be sharply watched; and whenever any jour- nal, especially of the provinces, employs a phrase in any way re- flecting on the imperial dynasty or the laws of " the constitu- tion,'' it immediately receives a warning. Several evening journals announce that M Thiers, yielding to the wishes of a great number of electors, has determined upon coming forward as a candidate for the representation of the second elec- toral district of Paris, and for the towns of Aix and Valenciennes. The appearance in the Moniteur of the following paragraph has been remarked on everywhere. It is under date of Warsaw, May 6:—" The following anecdote is related here:— General Berg since his arrival has done his utmost to discover the secret com- mittee. A fortnight after his assumption of office the Grand Duke asked him if he had been able to discover anything. ' Yes,' replied the general; ' Ijiiave acquired the conviction that, with the exception of your imperial highness and myself, everybody here belongs to the committee.''" The Moniteur publishes the dis- patch of Aali Pasha, relative to the conditions imposed by the Turkish Government upon the execution of the Suez Canal scheme. The despatch ( which we have noticed in an article) is creating a great sensation in Paris, where the Lesseps partisans will of course misrepresent its just remarks and lionest pro- posals in every possible way. ITALY. The Pope is employed in making an excursion to the Southern Papal States— in tact, towards the Neapolitan country. Whether it is to encourage by his presence the brigands lately armed in Eetne, and despatched from that place, is not said, but every one feels that the journey has some sinister object. The Neapolitan satirical paper, Arlecchino, treats of the Pope's journey in one of its last caricatures. His Holiness is represented in a rather crazy vettura approaching Ceprano, with Cardinal Antonelli beside him, and Monsignore de Merode oil the box, acting as coachman. The ex- King and Queen of Naples, seated in the dickey, are earnestly scanning their quondam dominions in the distance with opera glasses. Under this significant sketch are the no less significant words of the Neapolitan proverb, " Vedi Napoli epoi moril'' (" See Naples and then die"), to which Arlecchino heartily ejaculates, by- way of response, " Amen." The words themselves have for almost centuries been the expression of Neapolitan vainglorious- ness, meaning in fact that having seen Naples there was nothing else in the world fit to see, and so it was wise to die, and avoid after disappointment. This new applica- tion of them quite astonishes the Neapolitan mind. De- tachments of French and Pontifical troops formed a guard of honour on the occasion. Fresh bands of brigands have quitted Eome for the Neapolitan States. At Turin a parliamentary com- mittee is to be appointed for a general inquiry into the military and commercial navy of the kingdom. The members of this com- mittee will be appointed by tne President of the Chamber of Deputies. AUSTRIA. Prince Gortschakoff, in his reply to the Austrian note on the Polish question, says:—" Count Rechberg was right, as events have shown, in anticipating that the Emperor Alexander would be disposed to show clemency to the Poles on the dispersion of the insurrectionary bands. Count Rechberg will, however, per- ceive that a return to order does not depend upon interior mea- sures alone. The intrigues of the foreign revolutionary party are the main source ot the agitation, and the influence of the great powers would therefore be best exercised if di- rected against those intrigues. Prince Gortschakoff doubts not that Austria will neglect nothing in order to put a stop to the machinations of the revolutionary party.'' An imperial decree has been published stating that in order to throw into oblivion the remembrance of the events which took place in Transylvania in 1848, 1849, 1851, and 1853, His Imperial Majesty is pleased to re- lieve those who have passed their term of imprisonment for high treason from any legal consequences of such imprisonment. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. THE COUET.— Her Majesty left Osborne for Windsor on Thurs- day, accompanied by the Princesses Helena, Louisa, and Beatrice, and Prince Leopold, and reached the castle at 20 minutes after six. On Friday, accompanied by Prince Arthur, the royal party left for Balmoral. Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse and the infant princess also left Osborne, and went to visit the Prince and Princess ef Wales at Marlborough House. VISIT or THE PRINCE AND PKINCESS OF WALES TO OXFOED UNIVEKSITY.— As far as can be gathered, the arrangements for the royal visit areas follow:— The royal party is expected to arrive in Oxford on the morning of Tuesday, the 16th of June, and will forthwith proceed to the deanery, which is being prepared for their reception. It is expected that a convocation will be held the same day in the Bheldonian Theatre, when the honorary de- gree of D. C. L. will be conferred on the heir- apparent. In the afternoon the royal party will honour with their presence the grand bazaar in St John's College Gardens, in aid of the funds of the Eadcliffe Infirmary. On the same afternoon the second show of the Eoyal Oxfordshire Horticultural Society, of which the Prince of Wales is patron, will be held in one of the college gardens, when it is contemplated to present, in the name of the society, an address of congratulation to their royal highnesses. In the evening the prince and princess, and a large number of other distinguished guests, amounting to about 400, will be entertained in their magnificent hall by the Dean and Chapter of Christ Church. A crand Masonic dress ball, given by the Apollo University Lodge, will take place the same night in the New Corn Exchange, and it is fully anticipated that their royal highnesses will be present. On Wednesday the Encomia, or commemoration of founders and benefactors, will be held in the Sheldonian Theatre, when their royal highnesses will honour the occasion with their presence. In the afternoon the University Masonic Lodge will give a musical fete in one of the college gardens, when her Eoyal Highness the Princess of Wales will present the various prizes to the members of the University Eifle Corps. In the evening a splendid banquet will be given in Exeter College Hall, when their royal highnesses will be the guests of the Vice- Chanoellor. The same night the members of Christ Church will give their annual commemoration ball in the New Corn Exchange, when their royal highnesses will be present. THE APPROACHING EOYAL VISIT TO THE CITY.— Most costly and elaborate preparations are being made by the Corporation of the city of London for the forthcoming ball at Guildhall, in honour of the marriage of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and which their Eoyal Highnesses will grace with their presence. The day for the fete was originally fixed for the 1st of June, but it has since been altered to Monday, the 8th, te suit the conveni- ence both of their royal highnesses and of the corporation. A special committee of the Courts of Aldermen and Common Council, to the number of nearly fifty, with Mr F. Wyatt Truscott, the chairman of the City Lands Committee, at its head, has been appointed to manage the entertainment, and sits from day to day at Guildhall. The Duke of Cambridge has been pleased to accept an invitation, and othermembers of the royal family are expected to be present. The number of invitations is understood to be limited by the corporation to 1,500. All the Ministers of State and foreign ambassadors will be invited, with many other dis- tinguished persons. ETON COLLEGE.— We are informed that it is the intention of their Eoyal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales to honour Eton with their presence on the 5th of June. The annual ceremonies, therefore, which usually take place on the 4th will, on this occasion, be put off to Friday, the 5th of June. DEATH OF DE EEID.— Many persons will learn with regret the death of Dr David Boswell Eeid, well- known by his labours in regard to ventilation. Dr Eeid, who has been for some years in America, died at Washington on the oth of April. His death was sudden, and caused by congestion of the lungs. EXPLOSION AT BRIGHTON.— On Wednesday an explosion of gas took place in the Music- hall at the Pavilion, Brighton, during the performance of'the Christy Minstrels. It seems there was a strong smell of gas, and some one of the officials lighted a lucifer for the purpose of trying where the escape was, and this caused a tre- mendous explosion, and alarmed the audience terribly. One side of the room and part of the ceiling is completely wrecked, and if restored to its original state of intricate decoration will cost a large sum of money. The building is insured. In several cases women sustained severe frights, and medical assistance was needed in lengthened and repeated swoons. No serious injuries were, however, recorded. A considerable amount of property in hats, shawls, & c, was either lost or damaged beyond further wear in the rush of the crowd. The room was on the ground floor. LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.— The thirty- fifth anni- versary festival of this admirable institution was celebrated on Wednesday at the Crystal Palace, under the presidency of Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, Bart, of the eminent firm of Truman, Hanbury, Buxton, and Co; and whether we regard the numerous attendance of its friends on the occasion, the large amount of sub- scriptions received, or the general character of the proceedings of the day, enthusiastic and cheering as they were throughout, we arrive at the gratifying conclusion that the demonstration as a whole was a splendid tribute to the great value of the asylum, and to the high estimation in which it continues to be held, not only by the trade with whose interests it is so immediately identified, but by the public generally. The amount of subscriptions re- ceived was £ 2,700. THE LATE MURDER AT ALDERSHOTT.— The murder of Mr Henry Holton, of Bagshot, appears to be one of those unfortunate cases in which the ends of justice are likely to be defeated. Ee- ward bills offering £ 100 for the conviction of the murderer or murderers have now been issued more than two months, but, although the police have been unremitting in their exertions, not the slightest clue likely to lead to the apprehension of the guilty party or parties has been discovered. The deed was, without doubt, committed under cover of the night, and, as the body had been some days in the water when discovered, the chance of un- ravelling the mystery surrounding the crime was considerably diminished, and it is feared thai aothing further will be elucidated. PRUSSIA. The Neue Preussische ( Kreuz) Zeitung publishes these enigma- tical words:—" Trustworthy opinions of the provincial authori- ties think it unnecessary at present to proclaim a state of siege in the Grand Ductiy of Posen. This is believed the less requisite for the entire province, as discouragement has been caused by the recent domiciliary visits and the consequent arrests.'' Is it meant that annsyance has been carried so far as to become dangerous ? The Chamber of Deputies has granted authority to commence legal proceedings against Count John Dzialynski, for high treason. In the Chamber of Deputies, ou the military bill, Lieut- General Von Boon, Minister of War, designated a remark made by Herr Von Sy bel as an unwarrantable assumption. The President thereupon interrupted him, when a dispute arose respecting the powers of the President, which ended by the latter putting on his hat and adjourning the house for an hour. Much excitement prevailed. At the reopening of the Chamber the Minister of War was absent. He sent word to the house that he was unable to attend the sit ting. The matter has subsequently been discussed in committee, and the Ministers were requested to attend the discussion. They declined, declaring that they would not submit to be called to order by the President, and asserting their right to say what they pleased without being subject to his jurisdiction. The sittings of the Chamber were thereupon suspended. A special committee of the Chamber has reported against the Ministers on this point. POLAND. The National Committee of Warsaw has issued a proclamation pronouncing severe penalties against any functionaries in Poland collecting taxes for the Eussian Government. Fresh arrests and domiciliary visits have taken place in Cracow. The insurrection gains considerable ground in the environs of Lubar, in Volhynia. The barbarous atrocities perpetrated on the estates of the Counts Moll, Plater, and eleven other noblemen in theneighbourhood ofDii- naburg, were not the acts of the peasantry alone belonging to the orthodox Greek faith, but were committed by Eussian soldiers dressed up in the disguise of peasants. Worse than the outrages of which the Countess Moll has been the victim were those en- dured by the young and beautiful Countess Plater, who suffered the most shocking ill- usage before the eyes of her husband while he lay bound with cords on the ground. These are among " the proofs which the Emperor Alexander II. has given of his gene- rous magnanimity.'' Mieroslawski is reported to be at the head of a large body of insurgents, well equipped and armed with several pieces of rifled cannon, moving in the south western direction of Poland. The taxes, at the rate of from 2 to 10 per cent, on yearly incomes are duiy collected, in accordance with orders issued by the Secret Revolutionary Committee. On the other hand, a strict watch is kept to prevent any infringement of the revolu- tionary order prohibiting the payment of taxes to the Go- vernment. The National Government has drawn the atten- tion of the English company for the water supply and drain- ing of the town to the illegality of the contract it has con- cluded with Count Sigismund Wielopolski, as lie was not au- thorised to conclude any agreement without the consent of the town council. The Department of Justice has declined to co- operate with the Government in carrying out the confiscation decree in Poland, as no law authorising such a measure is in ex- istence. In the district adjoining the Austrian frontier the in- surgents have experienced more than one defeat, and large num- bers were entering unarmed the Austrian territory. A sanguinary engagement is said to have occurred near Kalisch, on the Prus- sian side, on the 12th inst, in wtich the Eussians are reported to have been the victors, although sustaining very great loss. Jesio- ranki's corps of insurgents is said to be beaten and dispersed. IONIAN ISLANDS. A cold- blooded murder, accompanied by circumstances of pecu- liar atrocity, has lately been committed by a liberated convict, who having at the prayer of his nephew been allowed to sleep in a wine shop, proposed to his nephew to rob and murder his bene- factor, and did so by stabbing him in the back at the moment he was proceeding to take his till away. He then laid the body alongside an English sailor drunk in the gutter, together with the bloody knife, and made his escape to the wooded part of the island in order to escape to Greece by the first opportu- nity. The police have been unable, or, as the garrison believes, unwilling to capture him, and are asking why the British authori- ties release these desperate characters, as is daily done, to the great danger of the public security. Persistence in such conduct will render these islands as unsafe as Greece itself. From the sort of " liberated convict" here turned loose on society, one might almost suppose that Sir George Grey and Sir Joshua Jebb were in office in the Ionian Islands. EGYPT. The Prince and Princess Napoleon have arrived at Alexandria* Letters from Khartoom mention the arrival there of English travellers coming from Zanzibar, who have discovered the source of the Nile. SOUTH AMERICA. Central America was in an unsettled state. The President of Guatemala, Carrera, was again intent on invading San Salvador. General Jerez, with his army, was in Nicaragua, and Generals Guerrero and Martinez were preparing to resist his advance. NORTH AMERICA. The doings of the Federal General Butler at New Orleans seem to have been imitated, as far as possible, by the Confederate General Bute, at Chattanooga. The following is his order :— " Mrs Blanchett, res'ding in Marion county, Tennessee, whose husband, H. G. Blanchett, voluntarily accompanied the Federal army in the retreat from said county, herself guilty of practices disloyal to the Confederate Government, is hereby ordered, in ac- cordance with intimations received from the headquarters of the army of Tennessee, to leave the Confederate lines within ten days after the receipt of this order, and not return on pain of being considered an alien enemy." In consequence of this Mrs Blan- chett had to leave her home, and being unable to procure carriage or transport, walked ninety miles into Nashville, carrying an infant in her arms, and leaving four other children behind her. Gen Hooker is said to have crossed the Eappahannock, capturing a considerable number' of prisoners. According to the New York Tribune the Federal army has placed itself in rear of Fredericks- burg, threatening the Confederate line of communication. The Richmond Inquirer seems to have expected another attempt in the direction taken by M'Clellan from the peninsula along the York Eiver. From Louisiana it is reported that General Banks has made a successful march, capturing several hundreds of prisoners. It is now said that General Banks has seized the Opelonsas Rail- road, and opened communications with the Federal squadron on the Mississippi above Port Hudson. In Tennessee the Confede- rates have driven in General Rosencranz's outposts, and are threatening Murfreesborough, - which is, however, deemed by its defenders so strong that an attack is hardly to be expected. The Federals claim some trifling successes in Missouri. It is ru- moured that the Confederate General Price, one of the ablest of the Southern officers, is preparing to enter that state with 8,000 men. Some more Federal transports attempted to pass Vicksburg on the 23d of April, and have been defeated, four, or, according to latter statements, only one, being sunk. The Mobile Register considers that the point of chief importance on the Mis- sissippi at present is Fort Pemberton, a mud- built work, running from the Tallahatchie to the Yazoo River, about 250 yards. The Confederates are said to have a large force at Morganstown, Western Virginia, on the Pennsylvania State line of railway, and to have destroyed two bridges on the Baltimore and Ohio line. The Federals have driven the enemy out of Somerset, Kentucky. The pufport of the news altogether is very indistinct; and the only thing quite clear is that very imperfect information has reached the public. MEXICO News received at Vera Cruz from Puebla gives details of the operations of the French troops subsequent to the investment of the city on the 23d March. Upon the 27th March a bombardment was opened upon Fort Jarvier and the penitentiary, which was well fortified; it continued until the 31st, when a breach was made, and the French troops advanced, and carried the positions by storming. Thence the storming parties pushed on, taking suc- cessively, at the point of the bayonet, two other fortified positions, and presently entered the city. They fought their way through the streets, which were barricaded, and captured the Plaza de Armas and the cathedral, which were strongly fortified. These positions being carried, the Zouaves and soldiers of the 99th Regiment of the Line, assisted by the Sappers, made their way through the houses and dislodged the Mexicans, who defended them with great bravery, fighting desperately from house to house. The French loss was reported to have been 150 killed and 500 wounded. General Vernet de Laumiere is among the killed. The only fortified positions the Mexicans now retain are forts. COCHIN CHINA. Official despatches received from Cochin China to the 31st March state that a great number of villages had given in their submission to the French. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY.— Lord NOEMANBY, in presenting a petition from the Rev Alfred Bishop in reference to Mr James Bishop, now a prisoner in the fortress of Alexandria, undergoing a sentence of ten years' imprisonment, called the attention of the house to the proceedings of Her Majesty's Government and their local agents in their conduct of this case. He animadverted in severe terms. on the course pursued by Mr Consul Bonham, and stated that Mr J. Bishop had not met with that lenity which the Italian Govern- ment had extended to other political prisoners, owing to the refu- sal of Mr Bonham to have him treated otherwise than a Neapoli- tan subject. He concluded a violent attack on the Italian Govern- ment by reading a letter from Mr J. Bishop on his present weak state of health, and appealed to Her Majesty's Government to exert its influence on Mr Bishop's behalf.— Lord RUSSELL, in stating the course he had taken in this case, ex- pressed great sympathy for the Rev A. Bishop and the misfor- tunes of his son, an additional one being that his noble friend had taken up the case. Having quoted the authority of Mr Panizzi as to the fairness and impartiality of the Italian tribunals, he pro- tested against Lord Normanby's assertions that MrBishop had been convicted on insufficient evidence, especially as the decision had been confirmed on appeal, and thought it most unfair to impugn the justice of the Italian Government, and to make the House of Lords as it were a Court of Review. On hearing of the arrest of Mr Bishop he had taken steps to procure him a speedy trial, and after conviction a full pardon, and when that was not deemed ad- missible a remission of the harder part of his sentence, on the ground ot his ill- health. He had received a promise that on the first fitting occasiou Mr Bishop would be proposed to the Xing for a free pardon. He defended with great spirit the Italian Govern ment from the attacks of Lord Normanby. TUESDAY— THE VOLUNTEER FORCE— Viscount HAE DINGE wished to know when it would be convenient to lay on the table of the house the new regulations proposed with respect to the volunteer force which had been promised by the lamented predecessor of the noble earl the Secretary of State for War.— Earl DE GTEEY and EIPON said there appeared to t> E some mis- understanding as to the regulations to which the noble viscount alluded. What his lamented predecessor had stated was that the nature of those regulations would be explained when the second reading of the bill was moved in another place, which it was hoped would be in the course of this week. It was impossible to lay regulations on the table until it was known what would be the nature of the engagements to which Parliament was prepared to agree. His noble iriend the Under- Secretary for War, in moving the second reading of the bill, would state the arrangements he proposed to adopt, provided the main conditions of the bill were agreed to. Of course, the regulations would only relate to the terms of efficiency prescribed as a condition for participating in the Government allowance, not to the general conduet of the force. CITY TRAFFIC EEGULATION BILL.— Lord CHELMSFORD, in moving the committal of this bill, observed that, as it pro- posed to give very large powers to the City authorities, it was felt desirable that it should be considered in a full house. — Lord EEDESDALE said that on this bill being brought before him, as chairman of committees, he found that it gave the City authorities the power of determining what route should be taken by waggons, omnibuses, and public carriages in their passage through the City. He felt that some such power was require*! for the purpose of facilitating the traffic, yet, as the measure was to some extent one of a public character, he thought it ought to re- ceive full notice from their lordships before obtaining their sanc- tion. He had suggested a provision limiting the duration of the proposed powers to seven years, believing that if they were at first made permanent, and it should afterwards be found desirable to withdraw them, there might be seme difficulty experienced in taking them away from a powerful body like the City.— The house went into committee, and the clauses were agreed to. i . The House of Lords did not sit on Thursday. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— EE VENUE.— The house went into committee on the Inland Revenue Bill.— Clause 1, imposing an Excise duty on club licences, was negatived.— The remaining clauses were agreed to, after much discussion. TUESDAY. — BRIGANDAGE IN ITALY. — Mr HENNESSY asked whether a certain despatch received from Mr Odo Eussell, of which mention was made the other evening, and in which it is alleged Mr Odo Russell contradicts a statement made in another despatch laid on the table, whether that despatch so referred to has been communicated to the French Government.— Lord PALSIERSTON: I cannot see any object in bringing into discussion what Mr Odo Russell said and what General Montebello said, except it is to establish bad relations between Mr Odo Russell and the French officers at Rome. Mr Odo Russell stated what he had heard, namely, that certain brigands, 260 in number, had found their way from Rome to the Neapolitan territory, clothed in French uniforms— in blue cats and red trowsers, such as are worn by the French troops— for the purpose of deceiving the Italian patrols on the frontiers. He qpmmunicated what he heard to General Montebello, and General Montebello denied the fact. Mr Russell spoke from information which he had received, and General Montebello spoke from information which had been com- municated to him. The only important part of the statement was, that 260 men had crossed from Rome into the Neapolitan territory. As to their having French uniforms, that is no reflection on the French authorities.— Lord J. MANNERS : I wish to ask the noble lord a question which arrises from the statement which he has just made, and in which he has not replied to the question put to him by my hon friend the member for King's County in reference to something that was said here a few nights ago by the Under- Secretary for Foreign Affairs, on the authority of a despatch which was not on the table. As I understand it, the rule is that when a Minister quotes a despatch, that document is to be laid on the table of the house. It now appears that the noble lord has not hesitated to make a most serious charge against the Sovereign of a country with which this country is on friendly relations. I wish to ask the noble lord whether he is prepared to lay the despatch on the table.— Lord PALMERSTON : It is altogether new to me to be told that a Minister, making a statement from information which has come to his knowledge, is bound to lay on the table of the house the document from which that information is derived. I admit no such principle. It is perfectly true that when a minister reads a paper he is bound to lay it on the table. I made no charge against the Roman Govern- ment except that charge which unfortunately cannot be denied— that the authority of the Pope is null, and that it is overridden by 20,000 French troops. In that state of things, whether the fault rests with the French Government or the Roman Govern- ment— I believe it rests with both— I say both are chargeable with the responsibility of that which is committed by bands sallying forth from Rome to commit outrages in the Neapolitan territory. WEDNESDAY,— COMPENSATION FOR RAILWAY ACCI DENTS.— Sir J. FERGUSSON moved the second reading of the Accidents Compensation Bill, the object of which he explained was not to divest railway companies of that just responsibility which ought to rest upon them as common carriers, but to remedy an acknowledged grievance which had arisen under the existing law. It was not their desire t » obtain a repeal of Lord Campbell's Act, but to remedy a strained interpretation that had been prac- tically jput upon it, and which rendered the companies often liable to extravagant and fraudulent claims made upon them. He briefly explained the details of his proposed bill for the amend- ment of the existing law. THURSDAY— THE VOLUNTEERS.— On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Lord LOVAINE said he regretted very much that the bill had not been laid on the table before the Volunteer vote was proposed, as it would have obviated the neces- sity for the observations which he had then made. Still there were several provisions in the bill which would require some dis- cussion. Now that the Volunteers might be said to have taken their place permanently as a part of the military force of the country, they ought to be placed on the most efficient footing. The patriotic spirit in which thfey catne forward three years ago could never be too highly praised, and it had completely dissipated the delusions which were entertained abroad as to the military spirit of this country.— The Marquis of HAETINGTON, after giving a history of the formation of the force, said, the principle that the Government should give the Volunteex's some further assistance had been affirmed by the house. The late Secretary of State for War in proposing the army estimates moved an additional vote of £ 198,000 for the Volunteers be- yond what had been voted last year. The committee passed that vote with very few observations, and it appeared to be the universal opinion of hon members that it was right that the Government should do something for the Volun- teers, who had effered time and services valuable to them perfectly gratuitously to their country [ hear, hear]. Now that additional pecuniary assistance was to be given it became neces- sary to devise measures in order to secure the proper application of the grant. He would explain as shortly as possible the prin- cipal alterations which the bill proposed with regard to the volun- teer organisation. The first essential alteration was with regard to the position of the permanent staff. In the old law no express provision was made for the permanent staff at all. The sergeant- instructors who had been supplied were heretofore enrolled as volunteers, and if they pleased they might leave the corps after fourteeen days' notice. It was proposed now to take power to attest those men for a period not exceeding five years. Under the old act the sergeants of the permanent staff being in receipt of pay from Her Majesty's Government were nominally under the provisions of the Mutiny Act, but in the opinion of the law officers of the Crown, which had been taken upon a recent case which had arisen, the arrangements upon which the army, militia, and volunteers were enrolled were so complicated that it would be quite impossible to procure a conviction. It was, therefore, pro- vided in the bill that a court consisting of five members of the permanent staff, and presided over by a field officer of volunteers, should be established, by which sergeants of the permanent staff were to be tried. The next essential alteration which the bill proposed to make was with regard to efficiency. Under the old act a volunteer was to be con- sidered efficient upon performing a certain number of drills in the course of the year. It was now proposed to diminish the number of drills, but that a certain degree of efficiency in the military exercise; should be shown in order to entitle a volun- teer to receive a share of the grant. It was not considered neces- sary to embody in the bill the various rules upon this . subject, but merely to enable Her Majesty in council to decide upon the con- ditions, and, in order that Parliament might have proper control, the order in council should be laid upon the table of the house for a month before it would have any effect. Another essential alteration was the giving of a legislative sanction to the organiza- tion which had hitherto existed only under War- office regulations. It was further proposed to place the adjutants and all the members of the permanent staff in the administrative battalion directly under the control of the commanding officer of the battalion, in- stead of, as now, under the control of each commanding officer in the battalion. It was proposed to give to every man of the Light Horse, Engineers, and Eifle Volunteers who should come up to the prescribed standard of efficiency 20s a year, and if he should go through the prescribed course of ball practice, 10s a year in ad- dition. To every efficient artilleryman 20s was also to be given, and for certain other acquirements 10s more. For this year, however, as heavy expenses would fall upon the force, and as the regula- tions with respect to efficiency would not come into operation until the end of the year, it was proposed as a temporary arrangement to advance to every corps except the artillery a sum of money equal to 15s for every effective upon the returns of last year, and for every artillery volunteer 20s. That would leave a surplus out of the money voted by Parliament, and the accounts of each regi- ment would be balanced upon the returns which would be made by the end of the year. With respect to the standard of efficiency the conditions, with some trifling exceptions, were based upon the recommendations of the commission. They had also em- bodied in the bill the act passed a year or two ago for the pur- pose of enabling the volunteers to acquire pieces of land for rifle drill. They had also added some new facilities for acquiring ranges, and for this reason— that the volunteers who should be en- titled to receive a share in the grant would be required to attain a certain degree of efficiency in ball practice. He could assure the house, from the report of the inspectors, that the present condition of the volunteer force was most satisfactory [ hear]. Their num- bers had not yet diminished, although if Government assistance were withheld they shortly would. The total number of volun- teers in the United Kingdom at present was about 159,000, and he was sure when they remembered what had taken place at Brighton, where the efficiency of the force elicited the highest encomiums from an officer who was not supposed to be parti- cularly liberal in that respect, there was every reason to be satisfied. If, then, the soil of England should be invaded— and it was only in that event that it was contemplated that the services of the volunteers should be called into action against an enemy— we had at our command over 150,000 men as efficient for the purposes of defence as any army which could be called into the field [ hear, hear]. The Government claimed no merit for having originated the volunteer movement, which was due entirely to the sponta- neous exertions, of the English people, but they did claim credit for doing that which he felt assured hon gentlemen opposite would have done with equal readiness— namely, affording every facility in their power for the promotion of the efficiency and use- fulness of the force [ hear, hear].— After some further conversation the bill was read a second time. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT BILL passed through com- mittee. Other business having been disposed of, the house adjourned.

COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND SOUTH WESTERN KAILWAY. — On Tuesday morning a very serious accident occurred between the Wilton and the Dinton stations on the South Western Kailway. It appears that passengers are taken every Tuesday morning by the up luggage train from Yeovil, in order to enable them to reach the Salisbury market earlier than by the ordinary train. This train, consisting of an engine, four carriages, and a number of luggage waggons, arrived at the Dinton station shortly before nine o'clock, and was allowed to go on by the station- master. A mixed train also left Salisbury some time after eight o'clock on Tuesday morning, and this was despatched by the station- master of the Wilton station. There is a double line of rails between Salisbury and Wilton, but from Wilton. to Dinton it is still a single road, the additional line not having as yet been completed. The consequence was that the two trains came violently into collision near Hurdcott. There were about 40 passengers in the carriages attached to the up- train, and they received a very severe shock, all being more or- less injured. Mr Thomas Wright, of Shaftesbury, received very severe wounds on the arms and hands, and he was greatly bruised about the head and shoulders. Several farmers from Shaftes- bury, Tisbury, and Barford were also injured about the arms and legs, and one sustained a very severe blow on the mouth. The passengers were all thrown one upon another, and the carriages were greatly damaged. On the nature of the accident being known a portion of the up- train ran back to Dinton, where in- formation was given, and the officials telegraphed to Salisbury for assistance. A special train was sent down, and the injured passengers were placed therein. On their arrival at Salisbury they were immediately sent to the infirmary, where they re- ceived every attention. The down luggage engine was thrown off the line by the collision, but a number of labourers were soon on the spot, and the line, after some difficulty, was cleared. Con- siderable blame is attached to some one, although at present it is unknown to whose negligence this accident is attributable. One of the trains should have waited until the other had arrived at t5ae station, or the telegraph should have been brought into requisition.

[ LATEST EDITION.] THE TURF. BETTING AT TATTERS ALL'S. MONDAY, MAY 11.— After the remnant of the Chester settling had been got through, attention was once more directed to the Derby, but althougn the attendance was tolerably large, affairs were for the most part very sluggish, and business made but little progress, lord Clifden remained steady at 9 to 2 for the Derby, and Macaroni at 11 to 2. Oilers were made to take 11 to 1 about Baccharometer, and after Giilie had been backed at 12 to 1 to win about £ 1,000, a point less was taken. In the City as little as 13 to 1 had been taken to money about The Ranger, and those odds were the highest at first offered against him at " the Corner;" subsequently, however, 1,400 to 100 was betted, layers offering to go on. After 1,000 to 60 had been booked about Tom Fool, he was invested oil at 15 to 1; and National Guard, who for a long time • was at no definite price whatever, found supporters at 2u to 1— taken to a " century."' King of the Vale was in increased force, and Giles the First gave token of being the premier representative of the White wall stable, for the highest offer against him was 33 to 1— odds that were once taken; wniie 1,000 to 15 was offered against Early Purl. 1,000 to 30 was ottered against Hospo- dar; and after 2,000 to a " pony" had been laid agains; Fantastic, lie advanced to 50 to 1. Of the extreme outside division, Bca- mander was in most request at 1,000 to 10, a shade less being ulti- mately taken. For the Oaks, 5 to 2 was offered against Lady Augusta, and 7 to 1" bar one." The only animals talked of in connection with the Somersetshire Stakes were Canary and Fan- tail, the former meeting good support at 2 to 1, while double those odds were at last laid against the latter. THURSDAY, MAY 14. — The attendance, although numer- ous, was scarcely so large as might reasonably have been anticipated, the absence of attraction elsewhere, and the rapidly approaching Derby being taken into consideration. The Rath settling was barely touched upon, the accounts standing over until Saturday in most instances, and but little was likewise done in " comparing." There was an entire absence of anything like a sensational movement on the great event, the main points of interest being the favour shown to Hospodar and the opposition prevalent against The Ranger. Backers of the favourite could not be induced to take 5 to 1, which were the highest odds that bookmakers would lay, while the friends of the Two Thousand winner were eager to gee on at half a point above those odds, and even money was several times offered and in some instances taken that Macaroni would beat Lord Clifden. At the close, however, 11 to 2 was still obtainable about Mr Naylor's colt. Saccharometer and Gillie were both in force, and about equally fancied. Hospodar, about whom a commission had been out in the City in the morning, was in great favour, as little as 14 te 1 being at one time taken, while at 100 to 6— his closing price— he was much supported. The report of an un favourable trial seemed at one time likely to send The Ranger Glean out of the betting. He did not eventually go further than 25 to 1, odds that being taken rescued him from the effects of what appeared to be a knocking out movement. 100 to 6 was taken kindly about Tom Fool, whose position in the market seemed ex- ceedingly " rosy." From 20 to 1 King of the Vale quickly ad- vanced to 18 to 1, and at the close 100 to 6 was the highest price obtainable. National Guard was almost drummed out of the ranks, being " shot at'' at 40 to 1. Of the " outside lot," those most in demand were Fantastic, Giles the First, and Scamander. For the Oaks, Lady Augusta was backed at 5 to 2, and the others quoted below met with some little support at their respective prices. SOMERSETSHIRE STAKES. MONDAY. THURSDAY. Canary J.

The news of Scamander having " come" at that place caused thirty " ponies'' to be taken about him. This was the only bet worth quoting that came under our notice. TATTERSALL'S— SATURDAY. Lord Clifden was again in force this afternoon, for, although on the previous day at Harpenden Macaroni had the call of him, his lordship was this afternoon unmistakably first favourite. It was' however, a nice point between the two at first; but as much as 6 to 1 was currently offered at last agst Macaroni, and a point less taken freely about Lord St Vincent's horse. 9 to 1 • was taken and offered about Saccharometer, who at a point more would have been backed for money. The Gillie was not in any great demand; while Hospodar at one time " came" to 10 to 1, and 1,200 to 1,000 was betted three times on him against The Gillie. A reaction, however, soon set in, and he retreated to offers of 12 to 1, the friends of The Gillie then offering to back the latter at evens against the French horse. King of the Vale was very warmly supported, as was also Scamander, the pair being backed for " lots" of money. Tom Fool was not in so much favour as of late, and of the others, it • will suffice to say that Avenger was backed just at the finish to win a stake. 3 to 1 was offered on the field for the Oaks, but active speculation was entirely confined to the Derby.

Don John was sold last week, aad has left Sopp's stable. Arthur Edwards has gone to ride Lord Stamford's Armagnac in the French Derby. Milverton, 5 yrs, once thought to be a " flyer," was sold last week for 15 sovs. W. Reeves and A. Balchin, the Epsom trainers, have each a string of horses doing their work at Ilsley. The following assumed names have been registered:— Mr Wake, Mr Poulsen, and Mr Eastnor. COLOURS OF RIDERS.— Mr Wake, white and green stripe; Mr Sales ( altered to), all black. Bedford Races will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 6tli and 7th October. Our correspondent was mistaken last week in stating that Automaton had left Ilsley, as the horse is still located there. Count Batthyany has recently purchased the mansion and estate at Moulton formerly in the occupation of Sir R. Pigot. J. Godding is sufficiently recovered to be able to attend to his duties. Gainsborough Races are fixed for May 29, the day following Southwell. The stakes close on the 28th. Gloucester Races are fixed for the Thursday and Friday, Oct 22 and 23, immediately following Lincoln. Weymouth Races will take place on the 3d and 4th September, the Thursday and Friday following the Devon and Exeter Meeting. The gentleman who in the Betting Rooms at Chester lost the half of a five pound Bank of England note, can have the same by applying to Mr Wood, 163, Boughton- terrace, Chester. Mr T. Stevens, though still suffering from the injury to his leg sustained at Abergavenny, was, we are happy to say, enabled to attend the Bstli and Harpenden Meetings during the past week. GRAND PRIX DE PARIS.— The smaller forfeit for this race must be declared to Mons Grandhomrne, 30, Rue de Gramont, Paris, by four o'clock in the afternoon of Friday, May 29. Antonelli and Mistress Quickly, 3 yrs, have arrived at C. Bradley's stables to be trained for their engagements. Several others are expected. THIRSK SPRING MEETING.— THE NORTH RIDING FARMERS' CUE.— There having been no evidence brought forward by Mr T. Gilling to substantiate his objection, the Cup and Stakes have been handed over to Mr Cass, the owner of Skyrocket, the winner of the race. Mr W. Butler's bay filly Gravity, by Woodpigeon out of Grace, 3 yrs, ran away with the lad ( who was very much hurt), staked herself, and from the injuries, which terminated in lockjaw, it was found necessary to destroy her. She had been put to Fitz- Roland. BEACHY HEAD.— AS we stated in our report of the race for the City and Suburban, this horse did not go to the post. The follow- ing* notice has been issued in the last number of the Racing Calen- dar :—. Epsom Spring Meeting, 1863.—" BeachyHead did not start for the City and Suburban. Hibberd weighed for him, but he was found to be lame, and did not go ta the post, which fact was not communicated to the Clerk of the Scales at the time, as is the custom at Newmarket." The Epsom Meeting, the national festival of the metropolis of England, presenting scenes which no other city in the world can imitate, commences on Tuesday next; and already in every street, and at every corner, the customary symptoms of its ap- proach are manifested. Curious and fleeting as are the changes in English society, and rapidly as old customs are yielding to the exhaustless spirit of the age we live in for change and novelty, the Derby Day still holds its firm place in the affections of Englishmen. If possible, its popularity is increased of late years, for sober, steady citizens, unable to enter into the spirit of frolic indulged in on the road, have recourse to the rail, and experience scarcely more inconvenience than on any ordinary day, and save both time and expense by the change of transit. Taken at a glance the Epsom list looks more inviting than it has done for many years past, for there is a prospect of a good Oaks, as well as of a large Derby ; the former race having come into the market earlier than usual, and a disposition evinced to speculate on it sooner than has been the case of late. On the course the recent tains that have fallen must have exercised a most beneficial effect, and " the Berkshire emigrants" on their return to their old quarters, will no doubt gratefully acknowledge the change in their exercise ground. With so much materiel be- fore us to comment upon, we need not dwell further upon the pre- liminaries of tills great congregational meeting, but proceed at once to look into the contents of the list, and separate the wheat from the chaff. Tuesday's card will be found to contain six items, commencing with the Craven and finishing with the Durdans Stakes. From the fact of the Two Year Old Stakes and the Rous being the o. ily items that have been filled up we must confine our attention to them. The Woodcote has one more subscriber than it had last year, and as it will be worth to the winner a clear £ 700, the candidates that will go to the post are likely to be very numerous, more parti- cularly because Molly Carew and Sister to Queen of the Vale are the only public performers of any eminence. The starters may possibly include Midnight Mass, War Daace, Pelion colt., Lord Zetland, Rosalie, Glendusk, Jack Frost, Sister to Queen of the Vale, Molly Carew, Acolyte, Eleanor, Redcap, and New Zealand. Of these the pretensions of Molly Carew and Baron Rothschild's filly far outweigh those of the others, so much so that the issue of the race would seem to rest between them. Of the remainder the only fact worth remembrance is that at Salisbury New Zealand was backed for a very large sum, and much disappointed his stable. Between the two favourites there is not a great deal to choose, but as at Bath, in the Weston Stakes, which is only half a mile, Molly Carew was only beaten a head by Light when carrying a 51b penalty, she may this time pull though. Of the dark division we hear of no counterpart of Lord Clifden, and, therefore, we must become a retainer of the Baron. The Rous Stakes has a good acceptance, and it is to be hoped it will produce as brilliant a race as it did last year, when Fair- water astonished the British public by beating Humphrey by a head for it. Without analysing the handicap too closely, it will be sufficient to hint that Spencer, Balham, and Gardener are a very likely lot to produce the winne. Wednesday carries us on to the day, the dearest of any in the Calendar to the English sportsman, who throws every care and thought of business to the winds, and negatives completely the idea of foreigners, that he does not know how to amuse himself with propriety. It has been well said, and never denied, that the man who has not seen the Derby has not seen England, for then he would discover that the Cabinet Minister regarded the celebration of the race quite as much as a holiday as the Oxford- street apprentice, and allquestions of foreign and domestic policy were permitted to take their own course for four- and- twenty hours, regardless of consequences either to individuals or to nations. Then the vast mass of human beings brought into one focus are kept in order by a few policemen, when, under a despotic Go- vernment, a host of regiments would have been deemed requisite to ensure public safety. It is this fact which makes such an im- pression on a stranger's mind on his first visit to the Derby, and it is well it should do so, as spreading the love of civil and reli- gious liberty in countries where freedom of thought and action are more bywords than realities. The present Derby has been by no means a bad one for the bookmakers, so many horses having found their way into the market, even if they did not re- main there long. Next to Lord Clifden, about whom a very short price was taken before he came out at Epsom, the most money has been entrusted to Saccharometer, Gillie, Hospodar, Carnival, Macaroni, The Ranger, Automaton, The Beau, Michael Scott, Melrose, Taje, King of Utopia, King of the Vale, Rapid Rhone, National Guard, Avenger, Early Purl, Scamander, and Tom Fool. Numerous others have been made responsible for small sums, but the bulk of the public money has gone on the above. How many of them are left in the race it will be now our purpose to examine. By the returns of the horses under orders from the various stables for Epsom, it would seem that the field for the Derby will be made up somewhat as follows:— Trainer. Jockey. Lord Clifden E. Parr G. Fordtiam Macaroni J. Godding Chailoner Saceharometer Channell A. Edwards Gillie W. Day J. Adams Ranger W. Goater J. Goater Tom Fool Stanton Page King of the Vale Hayhoe Ashmall National Guard . Watson J. Snowden Hospodar T. Jennings Watkins Fantastic Goodwin Custance Giles the First J. Scott E. Sharp Early Purl J. Scott W. Boyce Light Bob T. Dawson Aldcroft Donny brook Watson S. Rogers Golden Pledge J. Osborne J. Osborne Blue Mantle .. Harloek J. Daley * Trojanus Wadlow Scamander T. Oliver Covey Safeguard . T. Oliver Cowley * Taje T. Taylor * Overstone Treen Drew Avondale May J. Mann Countess Private Midgley * Flibustier T. Jennings Pratt King of Utopia Lye H. Grimshaw Tambour Major .. J. Dawson Wells * Jarnicoton T. Jennings Baldwin H. Goater F. Adams * Avenger J. Dawson * Soapstone Woolcot * Doubtful starters. Should these all come to the post the field would be considered to be a good average one, but although the French trio have each been backed for a sufficient sum to warrant a probability of their being at the post, still a couple of nominations is almost as much as can be expected under existing circumstances. LORD CLIFDEN has been before the public now upwards of twelve months, the secret of his having been tried good enough to beat Bpicebox at eighteen pounds having transpired before he was announced to be a starter for the Woodcote. As little as 25 to 1 was taken about him for the Derby on the eve of his debut, which was a successful one, despite a severe cough, and only half a pre- preparation, and a bad start. At Doncaster, where he next appeared, he had a great deal more to do to beat Armag- nac by half a length, and Early Purl by three lengths for tha Champagne. Two days afterwards his difficulties in- creased, for giving thirteen pounds to Bohemia he only won by a head, and as the latter had been out about a dozen times previously, the form ought to have been better to warrant the short price that was taken about him during the winter. Since then, we are bound to admit, no horse has kept firmer in the market, for there have been none of those startling demonstra- tions or ceaseless firings into him which is so frequently the case with Derby favourites. And those who have had the privilege of the entree to his stable are loud in their praises of his condition, and maintain he is so let down and filled out that he would never be recognised as the tall two year old we saw in the autumn. The attempts that have been made lately to disable him, by means of digging holes in his galloping ground, suffi- ciently attest the fear of his enemies, and the lengths to which they would go to compass his defeat. MACARONI is entitled to the same attention as any Two Thou- sand Guinea Horse that has beaten animals backed for such sums of money as Hospodar and Saccharometer, and it is a meot point whether he will not be a better favourite © n the day than Lord Clifden. Macaroni has been tried to stay any distance, and has run through indirectly more horses than any other favourite in the race; unless he flies to pieces, a la Caterer, at the last moment, he will beat all the public horses of the year, and be very near, if not quite compensating Mr Naylor for his loss in the last Derby. SACCHAROMETER has also been very firm in the betting since the Two Thousand, when it was plain if he was not quite as fit as he could have been made, he could yet be altered a few pounds for the better; but to the eye he looks so much more like a miler that we feel difficult to be convinced of his ever getting more than that distance, although his friends imagine he will stay for ever. HOSPODAR, we all saw, run nowhere in the Two Thousand, but then the work he had done the last few days previous to the race will readily account for so unlooked- for a denouement. On Monday, according to trustworthy report, he was beaten at his new training quarters, Hambleton, by Stradella and Haddington, and immediately went back to 40 to 1, and seemed gone. Now he has rallied again, and looks like seeing his old price. Be this as it may, after what we have seen of his action, we can never believe he will get down the hill, however conspicuously he may run to the top of it. For many reasons the victory of Hospodar would be desirable, ana we are aware the Emperor of the French takes the warmest interest in his sucuess. KING OF THE VALE is a large improving horse, who, if he had not been stopped for three or four days before the Two Thousand, would have been very troublesome to both Macaroni and Saccha- rometer. As it was. he ran a long way in front, but tired from want of condition. Now, from the interval that has elapsed, Hayhoe has been able to improve him sufficiently to increase his chance with Macaroni, and diminish the difference in the odds between them ; altogether, he is a horse that should be kept on the right side. THE RANGER, in the beginning of the week, promised to become a very great favourite, for he had done so well since he carried off the Triennial, in the Craven week, as to be able to do anything with Buckenham, although they never were strippped and put to- gether, but from the rough gallops it was conjectured he was better than the former horse, who is good enough to try any ani- mal for the Derby, and the money went on proportionately. Within the last twenty- four hours, however, a hostile movement of so strong a character has set in against him as to make us con- clude something must be up with him, and that he will not " range'' towards Epsom. As brother to Skirmisher he is sure to stay the course, and if the rumours about him prove untrue, and his friends adhere to him, we shall look for him in the first three in the return list. NATIONAL GUARD has had a host of supporters in the north throughout the winter, notwithstanding the fact of his making a bit of noise, which was said to be accounted for in many ways. In appearance National Guard is a remarkably good- looking horse, and his action, when he is extended, pleases every one. The impediment, however, under which he unfortunately labours has prevented Watson doing so much with him as he could have wished, and which has caused him to lather and sweat so after every gallop. It has also, no doubt, been the reason of his being de- feated in his trial by Miss Armstrong, the news of which trans- pired at Bath, and occasioned his fall in the market. His owner, however, is still sanguine, but we fear he is alone in his ideas of winning. DONNYBROOK, in the same stable, has also been backed for a very large sum of mon'ey, and Mr Gilby has deeemed it advisable to secure the services of Sam Rogers for him. By some he is stated to be as good as Adventurer at even weights, and if this is really the case it would take us very little trouble to select the winner of the Derby. But, according to another and more trustworthy report, Donnybrook is said to have given Wetsail a stone and a year at a mile, and beat her easily. This we do not consider good enough to win a great stake like the Derby; and again, therefore, we fear Sam Rogers will have no opportunity of landing the ob- ject of his ambition. GILLIE is a horse with two parties, each strong in the con- viction of their own views. As a public animal, all that is known of him is that he ran a dead heat with Brick at eighteen pounds for the Goodwood Nursery, and which is, of course, very remote from Derby form. But since then it is also stated that he is considered to be four pounds better than Lord Clifden, the line being obtainable through Muezzin, who beat Orphan a head in the Epsom Spring of last year. He also is rumoured to have given a great deal of weight to Tolurno, whose merits had been tested very highly with Man at Arms. These latter pro- ceedings being of more recent date are far more satisfactory, and when we witness the confidence of William Day, and consider the character of those who are backing Gillie, and who never have been remarkable for throwing away their money, we can come to no other conclusion than that Gillie is not " a case of wolf," but a horse good enough to command the aspirations of Woodyeates. TOM FOOL has an immense number of friends, who share the confidence of his owner from the dead heat he made with Cachuca at Stockbridge, and also from his having defeated Automaton so cleverly for the Prendergast, when the ownerof the latter thought him good enough to lay odds on. Coming to the post fresh and well will certainly be a great advantage to him; but fine as his speed maj' be, he does not inspire us with an idea of his being able to stay over so severe a course to the preference of others in the race. FANTASTIC is the representative of a stable that has been in con- siderable force all the season, and he is undoubtedly a horse with a very fine turn of speed, so much so that had he been got by any other horse than Hesperus he would have been in the front rank of the favourites. Latterly, from having been in physic, lie has almost been knocked out of the market, but his owner even then stuck to him, and is still as sanguine as ever of his winning. We are ap- prehensive, however, the interruption to his gallops, and the want of staying powers in his veins, may neutralise his other pre- tensions. LIGHT BOB seems likely to be the sole representative of Lord Glasgow's lot, which were so much fancied during the winter. As a two year old he was out twice, once when he was nowhere to Tom Fool in the Prendergast, and again when he beat Slattern in a match. These antecedents, as well as the indifferent manner in which Lord Glasgow's horses have run this season, furnishes'little hope for a renewal of his lordship's luck in this race, or of the Derby going to Middleham. GILES THE FIRST has been the favourite of the Malton touts for a considerable time, and their representations have caused him to be backed freely in the market. That he is a line framed horse there is no denying, but his action is too high for Epsom, and as his manager, Count Waldstein, has declined having him tried, we are unable to say more of him than our belief that if equal to the occasion he would have been at linlf his present price. EARLY PURL was tried a very good horse before going to Stock- ton, and in the Champagne he might have been closer to Lord Clifden and Armagnac had it been requisite. When Tornado and Hospodar beat him at Newmarket, the excuse made for him there was that he was amiss. No horse wintered better than Early Purl, and he would have seen a better price had his gallops not been interrupted by the fall which he had, through slipping up in the stable yard, and which necessitated the constant attendance of Mr Robinson of Tamworth, whose skill and attention was re- rewarded by seeing him go again as well as ever in the course of ten days. To the eye the horse never looked better, and if he is none the worse for his absence from the Wold, he will take his part in the crowd, but can hardly be expected to turn out a second Daniel O'Rourke. BLUE MANTLE sadly negatived the hopes that were revived of him shortly before the Two Thousand, in which race, after going little more than half way, he resolutely shut up. Whether this is the result of the severity of his work between Ascot and New- market we cannot say, but the horse has never seemed to be the same since, and we are not solitary in our ideas of Blue Mantle being fashionable on Wednesday. KING OF UTOPIA'S running last year was so highly respectable that he was with some reason thought to have as good a chance as any of the second- class division. Northampton, howevef, dispelled the idea, but it was easy to see he was far from lit. Lately he has been doing good work, and maj' be expected to improve upon his opening performance of the year ; but beyond this we have no- thing more to urge in his behalf. AYONDALE has been nibbled at " all the year round'' as the best outsider in the race from her Oxford running. Had the ground at Chester not been so hard, she would have been pulled out for the Dee, when we should have been able to see if she had improved from a two to a three. That she is very well and fit we may judge from her owner having again backed her at Chester; but, beyond flattering accounts from those who have seen her, we have no means of knowing more about her than we now do on paper. TAMBOUR MAJOR is a horse on a large scale, that has never yet run in public, and had he any merits of his own, we fancy they would have got wind at Newmarket, and have improved his posi- tion in the betting. BALDWIN, another son of Rataplan, we saw so fully revealed on Tuesday with Glenorchy, that we can only express our regret that so veteran a sportsman as the Premier should not have a better chance than he had with Mainstone and other candidates that went up from Daneburj'. SCAMANDER was very much admired when put up to the hammer at Sir Charles Monck's sale, and within the last week he has been backed for some money, all the long shots that were offered against him being accepted tor his owner, who, with Fair- water for a schoolmistress, should be able to know something about him. SAFEGUARD, in the same stable, we saw behind Livingstone on Wednesday, a sufficient indication that the odds against him are hardly out of proportion to his chance. SOAPSTONE ran a long waj' in front at Salisbury, and majT, perhaps, come to the post, but we imagine the hopes of his owner are centred on another animal. As regards our verdict for the race, we approach the record of it with a great deal of hesitation, because we have not seen the crack since September, and are obliged to take on credit our particulars of him. But The Flying Dutchman was in the same category, and j'et was successful. Considering, therefore, under what trying circumstances Lord Clifden has kept his place in the market, we are of opinion we shall not err in giving credence to the ability of the trainer and the honesty and talent of the jockey of LORD CLIFDEN, by anticipating our being able to chronicle him as the winner of THE DERBY on Wednesday. The Plates will inspire so little interest, and be so governed by the betting, that we shall best consult the interest of our readers by abstaining from all reference to them. Eight races on Thursday will be quite sufficient after the tur- moil and excitement of the Derby, coupled with the Oaks in prospective on the following day. The Two Year Old 8takes is the first race in the list, but the sub scription to it is not half so numerous as to the Woodcote, which will of course give us a better view into it than we at present pos- sess. Reeves has both Starbeam and Molly Carew engaged, while The Baron is equally formidable with Sister to Queen of the Vale, and in the absence of " Molly," the Baron's filly, we take it will be found superior to the others. The Grand Stand Handicap has thirteen subscribers, and which- ever represents Mr Ten Broeck's interest shall have our vote and interest. For the Epsom Cup everything will depend upon the gunners, and we should be glad to see Stradella and Buckstone meet again. Should they do so we have no hesitation in asserting our belief the French bred horse will beat the French bred mare. On Friday, the Oaks will bring forth the fairer portion of the creation in the brightest of toilettes, and enable the losers on the Derby to either repair their losses, or still further add to them. Though the subscriptions to the Oaks still preserve their average number, the public cannot be induced to speculate on it until after the One Thousand Guineas, although there are many old stagers yet in existence, who can recollect the quotations on it being as lengthyduring the winter as those on the Derby. The present Oaks would have been productive of an infinitely better field had it not been for the way in which Lady Augusta cantered off with the One Thousand Guineas, and which may well cause owners to hesitate encountering her. After going through the entries, which amount to 187, it is strange we can discover the probability of their being no more than a dozen starters, so that the forfeits in themselves will amount to a goodly sum. Mr Dorling's card for the Oaks, then, according to our calculations, will be filled up as follows:— Filly. Trainer. Jockey. Lady Augusta Jos. Dawson Edwards Flying Fish Jos. Dawson Roper Borealis W. I'Anson Chailoner The Orphan E. Parr G. Fordham Queen Bertha... J. Scott Aldcroft Old Orange Girl J. Scott Ashmall Avondale H. May J. Mann Cadeau Eskrett J. Daley Isoline Kingsland Marlow Marigold J. Prince Doj'le Fantail R. Boyce W. Boyce Miss Armstrong J. Watson J. Snowden Alcestis W. Day J. Adams * Tornado Pryor * GoldDust Harolck Norman * CraftonLass Hayhoe Wells * One of Mr Saxon's ... Private Midgley * Doubtful starters. With the One Thousand staring us in the face, it really seems a waste of time to discuss, and a waste of space to fill up the quali- fications which the other fillies have to urge for themselves. Borealis is, perhaps, the best of them, for she made Adventurer gallop at York. But she is a child's pony in comparison with the favourite and Queen Bertha, and as size will be served at Epsom, as well as anywhere else, we do not contemplate seeing the Borealis shine as bright as in the northern regions. For Queen Bertha not the slightest stable demonstration has been made, which is sufficient to convince us that nothing is thought of her by those who ought to best acquainted with her merits, and Cadeau and Marigold we saw could not live with Lord Stamford's mare when they last were in their com- pany. Miss Armstrong, from being better than National Guard, cannot be passed over in silence, for Mr Watts holds his horse in the, highest esteem. Alcestis being scratchedat Bath, after having won her trial,, might lead us to suppose there was something in her. Cadeau and Marigold are both victims to Lady Augusta, and Tornado, bj' report, has much disappointed her owner. Gold Dust we doubt staying, and the chance of Countess must be gathered by the way she runs in the Derby. Crafton Lass has beat nothing of any quality, and we are, in truth, quite prepared to witness the Oaks being a second edition of the One Thousand, viz, LADY AUGUSTA being first, and Flying Fish second, but should Old Orange Girl be able to stay for; the sake of " auld lang syne" we will reserve her for a " cockboat." The other races will be too influenced by the racing of the week to be safely criticised. - A LAY OF THE DERBY. I value the man not a button Who can smother the interest he takes, Or an air of indifference put on. As the dawn of the Derby day breaks ; No use in deceit or evasion, Heart and foot take us Surreywards still, And we bless the auspicious occasion That brings us again to The Hill. " ' Tis pleasant," sajrs some one, " to ramble What time the parched mead drinks the dew;" But give me the scuffle and scramble The Blue Riband Carnival through; The crushing, which only evokes Good humour and laughter in roars— To hunt up the " nice sort" of folks, And keep out of sight of the bores. ' Iwere vain to sing Epsom the merry, And fail of the feasting to tell; The arm. of the law gives us sherry, The Stock Exchange proffers moselle. Pigeon pies, lobster salad— no question The elixir's discovered at last— And fears on the score of disgestion Or gout to the four winds are cast. Ah, sweetheart! that glance bids me anchor, Strike my colours, and yield myself prize, And lay odds that would frighten a banker, As I longingly gaze in your eyes ; And heart overflowing and breast full, Sink my soul in those oceans of blue— I'd consent to lose gloves bj' the chest full, If I only might lose them to you. ' Tis dangerous longer to tarry- To the haunts of the lowly we pass, And hobnob with Dick, Tom, and Harry, Who lunch at their ease on the grass, And drink, as from bottles and spigots The " bitter" foams sparkling and clear, " Confasion to Somes and the bigots Who'd rob a poor man of his beer!" Hark.' hark! as of avalanche bounding From winter- ferged manacles free, A roar, ever louder resounding, Comes rolling along like a sea— And far in the distance advancing, Now shining, now dark as the grave, A garden of colours is glancing, As bright- tinted shells in a wave. And clear in the van of the rest, As fast through the furzes they rise, I see, by his harlequin vest, The hope of the Yorkshiremen flies: While close on his heels, pulling double, The Gillie strides gallantly on ; And the sight of " the German" in trouble Dispels the faint hopes of Old John. The friends of " the crack," too, may steady Their nerves, and exhibit their pluck, For Fordham, hard at him already, Can scarce get away from the ruck. To the van Macaroni is sweeping, The Baron looks mischievous too, And nearer and nearer is creeping The dangerous drab and light blue. Ha, what! is the leader compounding? Yes, hark! as the Gillis comes out, The Ring his death- warrant are sounding, The " Guard" is abroad, beyond doubt; His stride short and shorter is growing,— The motley gives way to the stripes, The sages of Richmond were knowing When they said he was touched in his pipes In vain ! speedy son of Glenochty, No Tadmor the distance can stay, In your stable they'd better have lock'd ye Than have brought ye to Epsom to- day. Though hard in the track of the band still, Lord Clifden no nearer can get; And, dying away to a standstill, The sun of St Vincent has set. Now, Naj'lor, rejoice, for alone j- e As victor I'm able to hail. As, passing the stand. Macaroni Disposes of King of the Vale, And wins— no ! however abhorrent, Newmarket must hedge to her boast, For, brought with a rush like a torrent, SACCHAROMETER wins on the post! ORANGE BLOSSOM. A DERBY PROPHECY. Ye gentlemen of England Who go about to races, And like to back your fancies Either " to win" or " places,'' Come list to what I've got to say, Though much may not come of it; And if you lose, why don't abuse An unpretending prophet. Avenger never shall avenge Automaton and Brick; Of Stockman and The Golden Pledge Their backers will be sick ; Of Avondale report speaks high, But never trust the mares; King of the Vale will show his tail To more than show him theirs. Black Saccharometer will test The sweets of Strathmore's tea ; But never will Lord Clifden beat, Wherever he may be. As Macaroni takes its place After the second course, There at the finish of the race Runs Mr Naylor's horse. Who backs The National Defence Will in his pockets suffer, For trust to me that shortly he'll Be " heard of" as a duffer. To back Cairncastle, or The Rhone, ' Twere nothing else but silly ; And Catch- em's backers surely will Be caught again by Gillie. But Hospodar will not be far, Though beaten in the Guineas ; And with surprise they'll ope their eyes Who call the Frenchmen ninnies. If Glasgow wins, to own my sins I shall be very willing, For you'll admit no Light Bob can Ever be worth a shilling. Utopia's King I need not sing; Blue Mantle will be beat; And Tambour Major on his drum Will have to sound retreat. Flibustier and Giles the First Their colours soon shall furl; And Scot shall never quench his thirst With drams of Early Purl. If lots of tin could make him win ( In public he's no stranger), The horse for me would surely be Jem Goater's charge. The Ranger. Fantastic, though he " hit his leg'' Some little time before, May chance to " hit the legs" again, And hurt them ten times more. But hold, enough !— if public form Of winning be the test. At once with me you'll all agree LORD CLIFDEN is the best. If fate should please Lord Clifden's Success to overrule, I think the Derbj' winner Will prove to be Tom Fool. MANHATTAN. THE DERBY, 1863. I dreamt I stood on Epsom Downs upon the Derby Day— The starter's signal's given, and the Ranger shows the way. Together Macaroni and Tom Fool are ctose behind; Lord Clifden, Saccharometer, and Gillie next, I find. But not for thee, bold Ranger, the blue riband of to- day, For nearer and still nearer Macaroni now makes play; And rounding Tattenham Corner, when the horses come to view, He's pressed by Saccharometer and gallant Gillie too. Now leads them Saccharometer, and now improves the pace ; The winner of the " Guineas " is not destined for a place ; For Gillie soon outstrips him, and the order seems quite clear; But who is this that steals upon the leaders from the rear ? Approaching Saccharometer Lord Clifden now I see ; And, coming to the Distance, he's amongst the foremost three, Though from an iron grasp his jaws have never once been free; Hard held, his rider's hands well down, the winner he must be. Half- distance is now passed, and at full speed the jockeys ride, Lord Clifden, Saccharometer, and Gillie side by side. Brave Gillie's second by a neck— a glorious sight to see— LORD CLIFDEN wins the Derby Stakes in Eighteen- sixty- three. SOMNAMBULUS. PROGRAMME OF EPSOM SUMMER MEETING.

The eighty- third anniversary of the most universal and popular of holidays— the Derby day— is now on the eve of celebration and the national interest in the great race is as widely extended as ever it was on former occasions. The great scarcity of rain during the past spring caused grave fears to be entertained by those who had a more than passing interest in the race, as to the state of the ground, and its effect upon the " understandings'' of the competitors for the " blue riband.'' These fears have, how- ever, within the last few days been, if not altogether dispelled, at least greatly mitigated. " The gentle rain" that fell in such quantities at Bath as materially to militate against the comfort of those who " assisted" at that meeting has, up to the present time, been descending more or less heavily, at frequent inter- vals. The running ground has in consequence been gradually yielding to its " softening influences,'' and there is now a good prospect of the course being fair " going." How this change for the better is likely to affect the relative chances of the competitors will be found in our detailed and elaborate analysis of the " coming struggle" elsewhere. The ge- neral public— those who go to the Derby to see the sight, to enjoy themselves, and to whom the result is comparatively unimportant— will be benefited by the decrease of dust, whereby the loliday attire and brilliant " gets up'' in which the " many headed" delight, will be greatly spared. The demand for stabling and for accommodation is as greac as ever; notwithstanding the short distance from town, there are many habitues of the meeting who, to avoid the fatigue and turmoil of the daily journej', gladly avail themselves of the accommodation offered, by the Epsom innkeepers and lodging- letters. The general arrangements on the course remain in a great measure in statu quo. The system of railing off a section of the Enclosure for the exclusive use of members of Tattersall's and the New- market Room, which was first brought into operation at the recent Spring Meeting, will be " on its trial" next Wed- nesday' Elsewhere we publish a letter from an old and influential member of Tattersall's on the subject, and wil- lingly join him in urging on the executive the necessity of a very strict surveillance being maintained at the gates, otherwise the object of the measure will be altogether nullified. Both rail- way companies have made their usual liberal and excellent pro- vision for the comfort and safety of the thousands who will patronise them. From London Bridge, Victoria, and Waterloo the " service'' will scarcely differ from that found so admirably efficient on former anniversaries. The London and Brighton Company will run, on Wednesday and Friday, the Derby and Oaks days, cheap trains from London Bridge up to 9: 15 a. m., and fast trains from 9: 30 a. m. to 2 p. m. From Victoria, cheap trains up to 8: 45 a. m., and fast trains as from London Bridge. From Kensington, cheap trains at 7: 20 and 8: 35 a. m., returning at 7: 30 and 8: 30 p. m.: fast trains at 11: 30 a. m. and 12: 45 p. m., returning at 5: 30 and 6: 30p. m. The South Western Company's arrangements are almost identical with the above, and both companies will dis- patch a special express train at 2: 0 p. m., for the convenience of those whose business avocations detain them in town to the last minute. Ample details of the minor arrangements, both for the great and the off days, will bt> found in our advertising columns. The Great Northern Railway Company will issue return tickets from any station on their line where they mav usually be obtained, on any day between Monday and Friday ( both inclusive), avail- able to return on any day up to and including Saturday. Horses marked * are in the D^ rby, f in tlie Oaks, J in the Ijeger. EATH RACES. Stewards : Duke of Beaufort, Earl of Uxbridge, and G. Payne, Esq. Judge: Mr J. F. Clarke. Starter: Mr Marshall. Clerk of the Scales : Mr Manning. Secretary: Mr Reynolds. That the Bath meeting still retains its undiminished hold on popular favour was apparent on the present occasion, for the same amount of excitement was created as to the likely move- ments < s> n the Derby as heretofore ; and although of late years the " ten minutes' wait at Swindon" has not been so portentous to Derby cracks and fancies as in days of j- ore, a " sensational" feeling betides the doings from start to finish— from the " down'* journey to the " up"— in anticipation that something will occurs The " special" from Paddington was well patronised, mosv— of the leading habitues of the Turf being among the passengers ; and of the more distinguished travellers maj- be enumerated the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort and the Earl and Countess of Westmoreland, who had the honour the previous evening Of dining at Apsley House with their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales. The usual ten minutes were of course " allowed" at Swindon, but nothing material took place, although a little badinage was indulged in relative to an advertisement that appeared in the morning papers, of which the following is a copy :—" One hundred pounds reward.— Whereas some evil disposed person or persons did on Saturday and Sunday, the 9th and 10th days of May instant, cut holes in the turf, filling the same with flints, on Telscombe Downs, near Lewes, on which downs the horses of Viscount St Vincent are trained, for the purpose, it is supposed, of causing inj ury to the said horses: the above reward will be paid to any person or persons who will supply the necessary information to lead to the discovery and conviction of the offenders or instigators. Apply to Messrs Robson and Tidy, 13, Clifford's Ion, Fleet- street.'' No particular liberties were, however, taken with the crack, although one well known bookmaker offered 9 to 2 on the field " now''— as he expressed it—" they had taken to dig holes for him." Apart from this, and some inquiries respecting Fantastic, there is nothing to be noticed of the " wait" in the down journey, which was safely and expeditiously performed. Rain had fallen during the early morning in town, and on arriving at Bath it was evident that it had not escaped the pluvial visitation ; and, how- ever welcome was the visitant to the " countrj' round," the prospect of a wet dajr on the heights of Lansdown was not especially enlivening. Welcome or unwelcome, however, down came the rain with a steadj- persistency throughout the afternoon, putting the damper upon the Derby betting, for it was next to impossible to pursue speculation to any extent under the existing circumstances. The weather, we need hardly say, had a some- what depressing effect on the attendance, which was, however, much better, after all, than might have been anticipated. The Duke of Beaufort, as heretofore, entertained a fashionable party at Badminton, and his grace was warmly welcomed back again after his wolf- hunting expedition. Raglan alone of the seven com- petitors for the County Members' Plate was backed in earnest, for " 4 to 1 bar one'' met with no response at last, although at first Silkstone was touched upon at that figure. It proved an easy victory for Raglan. the aptly named scion of The Hero, Surbi- ton Hill alone contesting the finale with him. The pre- vious essay of the winner it will be remembered was in the Wiltshire Stakes at Salisbury, wherein he bolted, pitched off his rider, and got loose. The Duke of Beaufort's very neat- look- ing filly Crytheia, the winner of the Longford Castle Stakes at the meeting just referred to, proved an equally " good thing" for the Two Year Old Biennial Stakes, for which the only other of the eleven runners in much esteem was Vabalathus, who did not, however, obtain a situation. The Kelston Selling Stakes was a most speculative affair, both Speedy and Gazelle having lots of backers; but Lufra, who had comparatively few admirers, and was only supported by her owner for a small stake, pulled off the race, benefiting the fund, however, at her bought in price to the extent of a fiver only. Alchymist had nothing to complain of on the score of weight in the Bath Handi- cap— which brought together ten runners— and following suit with his plucky and sportsmanlike owner, backers made him the best favourite, although Change and Spencer were also much fancied, both being freely supported, and Fordham repeated his Salisbury success on the Premier's horse after a good race home with Change. The Lansdown Trial Stakes not having filled, the Biennial Stakes for three year olds was alone left for decision. The race was invested with some amount of interest, owing to Lord Palmerston's Derby colt., Baldwin, being pulled out for it, although the two leading favourites were Bright Cloud, the winner last year, who was backed at 2 to 1, and Glenorchy, who has before this season shown some form. Bright Cloud, however, was in the shade all the way, and the issue at last was entirely confined to Glenorchy and Baldwin, the former winning by a head. Baldwin, who had been eagerlj' scanned before the race by those who had an interest in him either way for the Derby, was pronounced to be a heavy, plain- looking colt, although he ran very game, and his backers generally attributed his defeat to backwardness of condition. As already intimated, the rain interfered materially with the Derbj' betting, but not a single change of any moment took place. 9 to 2 was offered against Lord Clifden and 11 to 2 agst Macaroni; anything over 10 to 1 was taken about Saccharometer, and a point more about Gillie. The Ranger had no friends at last at 100 to 7, but Tom Fool found admirers at 15 to 1. Strenuous endeavours were made to keep National Guard up to the mark, and 20 to 1 was taken about him. and there was a growing dispo- sition to " get on" King of the Vale. Fantastic was supported at prices ranging from 45 to 50 to 1, and the latter price was offered against both King of Utopia and Donnybrook. Of the extreme outsiders Scamander was in most request at 1,000 to 15 ; 1,000 to 7 was laid against Tambour Major, and immediately after Baldwin's race 1,000 to 5 was offered against him. The usual muster took place at " the Castle" at night, when the highest offer on the field for the Somersetshire Stakes was 6 to 4. Some temporary opposition was displayed to Lord Clifden, for after 500 to 100 had been laid offers were made to back Macaroni against him " for 5,000 or any part of it.'' Eventually, however, the highest offer against the " crack" was 9 to 2. There was a continued disposition to back King of the Vale, and lay against National Guard, but the doings for the most part were " much of a muchness" with those on the course. The wagering on the Oaks was somewhat spirited ; 3 to 1 was offered on the field, 8 to 1 was booked about Borealis, 10 to 1 about Old Orange Girl, and offered against The Orphan, while Fantail was invested on at 30 to 1. The chief feature of the Oaks betting, however, was the vast support awarded to Miss Arm- strong, who, most favourably tried, was backed! to win] several thousands at 10 to 1. Although the weather on Wednesday was on the whole much more favourable for the sport than on the previous day, showers still continued to fall at intervals. Prior to the commencement of the sport Admiral Rous, Lord Coventry, and Lord Portsmouth were engaged in investigating the case of the disobedient jockeys at Chester, the result of which will be found in another column. The Dyrham Park Handicap was rightly esteemed a good thing for Bally Edmond, who had no difficulty in disposing of his nine, or rather his seven, opponents, for of the lot that started Baron of Avon bolted early in the race, and the saddle of Princess Vocqsal slipping at the lower turn young Sam Adams was capsized, although not hurt. Only five contested the Bad- minton Stakes, of whom the Derby colt Safeguard was one. He is a big, good- looking horse, and, though he ran green at the commencement, showed seme gameness, and may be heard of some day to advantage. Odds of 6 to 4 were betted on Livingstone, who, being awkward at beginning, was " slipped" by Glenorchy, who looked all over the winner at the distance, where he stopped and kicked at Livingstone, and the latter thereon came away and defeated Safeguard by a length. From the poor acceptance for the Somersetshire Btakes— the weights having been published rather too early— a corresponding field was of course the result. It proved the dead certainty it looked on paper for Canary, a victorj', however, that no one grudged his owner, who was therebj' compensated to some extent for his disappointments at the Epsom Spring; while Fantail ob- tained the position assigned her all along in the betting, securing the second half century. The Selling Stakes went off in a walk over for the forfeits by Hypermnestra, after which seventeen youngsters were telegraphed for the Weston Stakes— Molly Carew, despite her 51b penalty, being a hot favourite. This time, how- ever, the pot was upset, and the fancied one was beaten by Mr Cockin's filly, Light, with whom Fordham waited until the weight having told sufficiently on the favourite he sent his filly to the front, and beat Molly by a head. The winner, who is a very bloodlike filly, showing much quality and substance, is by Prime Minister out of Candlewick, and consequent^' own sister to Sporting Life. She was bred by Mr George Mather ( who of course stood her to- day for the sake of her sire)), and was pur- chased at the sale of his yearlings by Mr Cockin for 200 guineas. From his previous running in the Dyrham Park Handicap, Bally Edmond was made the favourite the instant the numbers went up for the Welter Stakes, which he won easily, although Ford- ham made a " bit of a race" of it with Captain Little on General Hess. Respecting the Derby doings it must be noted that 1,000 to 200 was the first bet booked about the favourite to- day, and 600 to 100 was laid against Macaroni. These odds, however, were not easily obtainable, and layers finally refused to advance above half a point less about either. At first, too, 11 to 1 was offered " bar two," but that price was subsequently taken about Saccharometer, and still offered against Gillie. The Ranger was still on che decline, and Tom Fool's friends still " fond," as were also the adherents of the Baron's horse. Inquiries were made about Hospodar, the highest offer being 25 to 1 ; and National Guard looked like beating a retreat altogether, declining from offers of 100 to 6 to 33 to 1. Fantastic's current price was about 40 to 1, Light Bob, commencing at 1,000 to 15, was backed at last at 50 to 1, the other outsider in most esteem being Scamander. B. it little change from these prices took place on the return journey, verj' little in fact being done. The friends of Macaroni, however, still offered to back the Two Thousand winner against Lord Clifden, 1,000 even being offered en route. At Swin- don 8 to 1 in fifties was booked about both Miss Armstrong and Borealis for the Oaks, and 6 to 4 was offered against Lord Stam- ford's lot.

Raglan made the running, followed by Rockley, Silkstone lying third, the Pancake's dam colt next, and Copia last. After going about a couple of hundred yards, both Silkstone and Capt Gray's colt gave waj-, and Surbiton Hill took third place, the favourite leading to the far turn, where Surbiton Hill went to the front, and carried on the running to the distance, where he was in diffi- culties, and Raglan came awaj' and won by a length; a bad third; Silkstone fourth, close up ; the others" widely scattered.

The flag fell to a very even start, Vabalathus in the centre being slightly in advance of Crj'theia, close up with whom was Lord Stamford's fillj7, Black Friar, almost level with them, next the rails. The lead was main- tained by Lord Uxbridge's colt for about a quarter of a mile, when he was headed by the Duke of Beaufort's filly. At the distance Black Friar obtained a slight advantage, and the Kennett's dam colt went on in waiting upon Crytheia, who again took the lead half way up, and stalled off the effort of the Kennett's dam colt, who was unable to get quite up, by a head, Black Friar being beaten a head only from the second. Vabalathus was fourth, clear of the three, the others close together, with the exception of Verdiere, who whipped in some distance astern. Run in 53sec.

There were three failures, chiefly attributable to Gazelle, in the first of which Rosabella bolted in a contrary direction, and Neilgherry, Pinkepoe, Copia, and Gazelle ran the course. On the flag finally falling, Gazelle Bhowed in advance for a short distance, when the running was taken up by Lufra, with Gazelle and Neilgherry in close at- tendance ; Lufra was not afterwards headed, and won very cleverly by a neck; the third beaten two lengths. Copia, Baron of Avon, and Rosalind were next, nearly abreast, Pinkepoe being last of all. The winner was bought in for 65gs. Run in 58sec.

After running a quarter cZ a mile Surbiton Hill increased his lead, ChaDge and the fa- vourite being still his immediate attendants, and on rounding the bend Bertha,— who had been lying off,— and Spencer began to draw forward, the latter, on entering the straight, taking his place next the rails. Surbiton Hill gave way at the distance, leaving Change in possession of the lead, Raglan, on the retire- ment of Surbiton Hill, taking his place next to the Premier's horse. The latter, in the next few strides, deprived Change of the lead, and won very cleverly by a neck. Raglan was beaten three lengths from Change, who finished a head in front of General Hess ; the favourite was fifth, and Bertha sixth.

Gunner, getting the best of the start, went away with a clear lead, followed by Glenorchyand Oakapple, just clear of whom came the favourite and Bald- win, Judex lying off in company with The Avenger and Sautereile. At the six furlong post Gunner still held the command, but dropped backinthenext few strides, and Glenorchy took up the running. Rounding the final bend Gunner dropped further astern, and Baldwin creeping up on the inside, went on in waiting upon the leaders, and J udex at the same time ran into third place. At the distance Goater called upon Lord Palmerston's colt, and he obtained an advantage of about half a length over Glenorchy— looking in fact " all over the winner," but stopped to nothing in the last few strides, and Glenorchy " coming'' again, tieat hiiri by a head; Judex was beaten three lengths from Bald- win, Oakapple was fourth, Sauterelle fifth, The Avenger sixth, and the favourite, who never got near the front, whipping in.

Baron of Avon cut out the work, followed by Warminster, Oakapple, Mountain Doe, and Princess Vocqsal, Mily clear of these being next in advance of Bally Edmond, Barmaid a long way in the rear. At the top turn Baron of Avon bolted, and Bally Edmond coming through his horses was next viewed slightly in advance of Mountain Doe, Warminster, and Oakapple, who fol- lowed in a cluster, the latter midway along the far side becoming the immediate attendant upon the leader. At the bottom turn Mountain Doe gave way, and immediately afterwards Warminster • was passed by Butterfly, and about the same instant the saddle of Princess Vocqsal slipped round, and S. Adams was unseated, without, however, sustaining any hurt. The remainder of the race was confined to the leading pair, of whom Bally Edmond retained the lead to the end, and won easily by a length and a half; bad third ; Portland was a worse fourth, and Warminster with the others pulled up at the finish ; Barmaid last through- out.

The flag fell to a level start, but the favourite being awkward, Glenorchy— quick at beginning —" slipped" him, and obtained an advantage of nearly three lengths of him, Crytheia going on third, in the centre of the course. At the distance the leader " stopped and kicked" at Livingstone, who from this point came on with a clear lead. Opposite the Stand Safeguard, who had previously been quite out of the race, came with a rush into second place, but without nearing Lord Btam- ford's colt, who won easily by a length ; half a length between the second and third; Crytheia well up ; the other tailed off a long way.

Raglan led the way at a slow pace past the Stand, followed by Flirtation, Fantail, Canary, and Blondin nearly in a line. At the top turn Fantail, quitting the others, took her place at the girths of the leader, the favourite still lying alongside of Flirtation and Blondin, while Vinegar Hill ran past Brother to Springbok and Portland, who now figured in the extreme rear. At the far turn Raglan took a clear lead, but gradually came back to his horses in the bottom, and on entering the straight dropped away beaten, leaving Fantail in front, with Canary on the outside in attendance upon her. The favourite waited to the distance, where he came away, and ran home an easy winner by three lengths ; bad third. Brother to Springbok finished in advance of the others, who were all " pulling up."

Some delay occurred at the post, chiefly owing to the fractiousness of Vandervelde, who obstinately refused to go near his horses, but when the sig- nal was at length given he got off slightly in advance of Vacuna, the favourite lying wide of these on the inside, with Light next; while Faith, Vabalathus, Inverness, and Lady Williams also occupied forward positions. The latter let, however, gave way on nearing the distance, outside which Vacuna headed Count Batthyany's colt, but the pair soon afterwards dropped back, and Molly Carew was viewed with a clear lead next the rails, with Light, who had always been lying " handy" with her, next in attendance. Half way up Fordham called upon Mr Lincoln's filly, and the extra weight telling upon the favourite she was caught by the former in the last half dozen strides, and defeated by a head; Garotter, who ran past the others at the Stand, finished three lengths from the second, a head in advance of Vacuna. The next lot comprised Osceola, the Vengeance filly, Vandervelde, Izaak Walton, Lady Williams, and Faith ; Stiletto last of everything. Run in 56sec.

From the distance the favourite and General Hess came on by themselves, the former winning by three quarters of a length; bad third. Foie de Gras did not pass the chair. Run in 3min 29sec. LATEST BETTING. THE DERBY, Betting: 2 to 1 agst Hilly Grove, 5 to 1 agst Maltster, 6 to 1 agst Flying Spur, and 7 to 1 each agst May- be and Mermaid. After a couple of failures, in one of which all except Maltster ran nearly half a mile, the running was made by May- be, followed to the top turn by Dummy, Hilly Grove, and Warrener, when the latter took it up to the straight, after which Flying Spnr went to the fore, and having only Maltster to contend with from the distance, defeated him by a head; bad third; Mermaid being fourth, Dummy next. The winner was bought in for 90gs. Parsons weighed for Phiz, but the mare could not be found. The HERTS HUNT CUP of 50 sovs; the second received 5 sovs; 12st each; two miles. Mr J.

Directly they were in play Evenhand rushed to the fore with a clear lead of Tourist, Watford and Walpole at the head of the ruck, whipped in by Gibraltar, who at the Stand was eight or ten lengths last of everything. After proceeding thus for a mile, Evenhand beat a retreat, and Tourist went on with the running, succeeded by Watford, Amy, Flirtation, Harvest Moon, Overton, and Flying Spur. Except that the first mentioned pair drew away from the others in round- ing the first bend, there was no change in front until both died away below the distance. Amy, then left in command, was waited on by Flirtation on her left, Overton being also in close attend- ance on the whip hand to half way up, when Mr Ten Broeck's mare and Overton came out, and running home locked together, a tine race ended in favour of the former by a head. Flirtation was third, four lengths off, Walpole next, well up with her, Flying Spur fifth, and Watford sixth, the rest widely scattered, Gibraltar having been stopped at the straight.

A very fine sure was effected after two or three failures, Clairvoyante immediately showing in advance, closely attended by Faith, Lady Nichol, Brother to Canace, Royston, and Bold Houghton, in which order they ran to the distance, where Faith got her head in front, quitted the Baron's colt and Vanquisher half- way up, and won in a canter by four lengths ; the third beaten a length. Black Deer was fourth, Bold Houghton fifth, Royston sixth, Lady Warwick and Lady Nichol next. A HANDICAP PLATE of 50 sovs, for all ages; about one mile.

Precise cut out the work, followed by the Stirrup Cup gelding, the favourite, and Vanity, until the leader fell back at a mile. Thence the Stirrup Cup gelding, in front, was succeeded by Meanwood, who, however, extinguished his chance by running wide, and the other won by two lengths; Precise was a bad third, Dicebox fourth, Meteor fifth, The Priest sixth.

At the scale it was found necessary to fetch in the bridle of the winner, who after being pronounced " right," was sold to Mr B. Land for 32gs. Mullins weighed for Mayflower, but did not get te the post in time. LATEST BETTING ON THE COURSE. DERBY. the articles, of which the stewards took no advantage, but gave the money for the sake of sport and a good contest, which was not realised, as the favourite, Blush Rose— who, it was stated, had changed owners since the Kildare Hunt Meet— unfortunately hit a man who was intruding on the course, fell, and all the steel was taken out of her, and notwithstanding the great exertions of her pilot, Capt M'Craith, her chance was gone. The Nenagh Plate, on the flat course, fell to Captain Machell's Little Nelly, who won it cleverly in two heats, defeating fiveothers; thus the two most valuable prizes of the meeting fell to the same in- terest. On the second day the contest for the Ormond Hunt Plate was an absurd one, but caused plenty of laughter, from the constant refusing of two of the three engaged, who were finally walked in from opposite quarters of the course. Mr Woulfe, the winner, on his return to the enclosure, was received with cheers. The race for the Commercial Plate would have been the best of the meeting, but for the falling of Palermo and Jack Shinane in the second heat, by which unfortunately Whelan had his collar- bone fractured. Causton Rose, purchased for a trifle the previous afternoon, won the Ladies' Purse in a canter, and brought the meeting to a close. The Stewards have plenty of funds in hand, and the meeting next season is likely to exceed in interest all that have preceded it.

The weather was most un- propitious, the rain descending in torrents during the greater portion of the day. But notwithstanding this disagreeable state of things, a large number of spectators had assembled on the course by the time the first race commenced. A few tumbles oc- curred during the day, but no serious casualties happened. A FLAT RACE for 10 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 1 sov each; heats, about two miles.

Fleur de Lis main- tained his position throughout, and won easily, the others being distanced. A protest was entered by Little Haldon on the ground that 110 person was at the distance post. This objection is not yet decided.— Second heat: Fleur de Lis won by half a length, after a sharp contest with Little Haldon.

Wolfe, G. Jackson, J M. Walker, Ii. H. Falkiner, G. W. Smith, and Richard E. Biggs, Esqs. Treasurer: J. Roche, Esq. Secretary: W. J. Hill. Judge: R. J. Hunter. Starter: Mr J. H. Coatsworth. During the early part of the past week the favourite sporting meet of the inhabitants of the flourishing town of Nenagh came off over Norwood course, kindly given by James Roche, Esq, whose hospitality during the race week is unlimited, and his levee at Norwood House is annually attended and crowded by friends and frequenters of the meeting, who duly appreciate his efforts to uphold the sport and give enjoyment to all classes. The com- mittee intend next year to add 100 sovs to the Norwood Plate ( Handicap), three miles, which, from the fair character of the fences and course, is likely to find favour with owners of horses, who next year will have increased facility of reaching the course by a branch of the Great Southern and Western line from Birdhill to Nenagh, the want of which has been long felt by the townspeople, as well as visitors to the races, who never relished a long drive by car of nearly a score miles, notwithstanding the route lay through a part of what is termed the golden vein of Tipperary. Rain fell almost incessantly during'the previous day and night, and continuing during the meeting, proved injurious to it. On the first day, Molly Asthore, Aladdin, and Princess Royal were scratched for the Norwood Plate, leaving only three remaining in, which was one les3 than the: number required by 1 1 3 3 dis THE DAMAGE DONE ON TELSCOMB DOWNS, WHERE LORD CLIFDEN IS TRAINED- On the death of old Mr Crockford, a few days after an Epsom meeting, some members of his club instituted an inquiry into the case, and ultimately returned as their verdict, " Died of a Derby favourite." There would still appear to be no more trying posi- tion for a man to occupy than that of the owner of a horse stand- ing high in the betting for any of our great races; and Lord St Vincent has, within only the last few days, had but too strong a proof of this. Early in the past week the following advertise- mentappearedin the daily papers, which weinsertagainhere as tell- ing only too plainly its own story: " One Hundred Pounds Reward. — Whereas, some evil- disposed person or persons did, on Saturday and Sunday, the 9th and 10th days of May inst, cut holes in the turf, filling the same with flints, on Telscomb Downs, near Lewes, on which downs the horses of Viscount St Vincent are trained, for the purpose, it is supposed, of causing injury to the said horses ; the above reward will be paid to. any person or persons who will supply the necessary information to lead to the discovery and conviction of the offenders or instigators. Apply to Messrs Robson and Tidy, 13, Clifford's Inn, Fleet- street." Infamous attempts of this description cannot but create great scandal, and tell heavily against the best interests of the Turf. On public grounds then it is very desirable that Lord 8t Vincent's efforts should be backed in every quarter, and the matter not suf- fered to die out after the Derby is over. There is pretty certain to be some needy scoundrel who may be tempted sooner or later to betray his accomplices and employers, and we are not quite so sure but that this is a case in which the JockeyClub might exercise its in- fluence with manifest advantage, even if nothing should come of that body taking the matter up. The effect alone would be something of an example. Years back Dan Dawson was hung for an offence of scarcely more enormity, and we do hope to see this followed out with becoming determination to have these scoundrels as se- verely punished as possible. Every now and then we hear stories of a horse putting his foot into a rabbit hole, and we are old enough to remember a case very much in point, where a Derby favourite was injured for life in this way in taking almost his last gallop before the race. THE NEW ENCLOSURE AT EPSOM. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : Previous to the last spring meeting at Epsom a printed notice, dated March 30, and bearing the signature of Mr Henry Dorling, was affixed in a conspicuous part of the subscription room at Tattersall's. The purport of this notice was to direct the attention of the members of that room to a novel experiment, which Mr Dorling, the lessee, had resolved to carry out in the enclosure attached to the Epsom Grand Stand. By this arrangement such members of Tattersall's as chose to pay Mr Dorling the extra sum of fiveshillings would be admitted, both at the spring and summer meetings of 1863, into an area separate and railed off from the main enclosure, the object being, as I presume, that the parties who availed themselves of this grant might pursue their business with less inconvenience, squeezing, and pushing, and have, too, a more open view of the racing, especially on the day of the Derby. Moreover, the plan would, if it were carried out on the stipulations proposed by Mr Dorling, be the means of shutting out certain individuals whose practices in Tmf doings bring the " profession" into sad discredit, and of reserving the prohibited ground for the use of creditable men only. Mr Dorling promised in his notice to admit into such area the mem- bers of TattersalVsroomexclusively; whereas at the Spring Meeting a printed paper was displayed at the one and only entrance gate, informing the public that the separated space would be available to others than the members of Tattersall's, viz, to those who were members of the betting room in the town of Newmarket. I do not desire to cast the slightest imputation on the character of any members of the latter room, whether they be annual subscribers to it or merely half- yearly or weekly visitors, paying twenty or ten shillings for their privilege of entry ; but I believe I may assert without fear of contradiction that admission into the New- market Roomis not a matter of extraordinary difficulty, but rather that speculators generally have only to be introduced, and to pay the money demanded by the doorkeeper, to give them the advan- tages of Mr Isaacson's orderly, convenient, and well- conducted place of meeting. Suspected persons, doubtless, would be kept out of it, but at Tattersall's the forms of admission insisted on help to keep that room somewhat more select. Permit me, Sir, to tell you how this new scheme worked at the Spring Meeting, lately concluded. The area was not over spacious, there was only one narrow pass for ingress and egress, with two sentinels ap- pointed to take down your name and to receive the five shillings. These were perfect strangers to me, and I believe unknown to racing men. Their deportment, to do them justice, was patient and respectful, and I had no fault to find with them at all. They were obeying, as they said, the behests of their employer. But mark the consequences. The sacred piece of ground was invaded by a very mixed and suspicious congregation. I boldly, myself, accosted a flashily- dressed fellow and questioned his right to be there, as he was neither a member of Tattersall's nor a member of the Newmarket betting room. His reply to me was that " he had subscribed to the latter for the two last meetings of 1862," and that consequently his right of entry was indisput- able ; others, I was informed, were received by merely giving their names and assuring the sentinels that they were what they represented themselves to be. As the Summer Meeting at Epsom is close at hand, I beg of you, Mr Editor, to interpose and sug- gest to Mr Dorling the reasonableness of keeping faith with me and the other members of Tattersall's, who have paid their extra fee for their said indulgence, so that we shall be enabled to enjoy in our new playground at the Derby and the Oaks entire freedom from intrusion by gentlemen from the " Principality," and without being crushed and trodden upon, as heretofore, in the un- reserved enclosure in front of the Stand. No new plan was ever perfect at its first introduction; and although I am ignorant with whom the present plan originated, and whether it will be ac- ceptable or otherwise to my brother members, I should not, myself, be dissatisfied with the innovation, provided admission to the new arena was restricted to members of Tattersall's ex- clusively, and their convenience regarded by the construction of two or more places of entrance, entrusted, as they ought to be, to the vigilance and superintendence of efficient and experienced gatekeepers.— Yours, & c, AN OLD MEMBER OF TATTERSALL'S. London, May 12,1863. [ We have also received a letter from another gentleman, who says:—" At Epsom I took a bet of 2 to 1 about Poland for the Heathcote " Plate from a man in the ring ' for members of Tatter- sall's only.' The horse won, but I have never been able to get the money from Mr M., although I have waited patiently up to the present time. I saw him in the ring at Chester, when he pro- mised to pay me, but forgot to come back. I am unwilling to believe that he is a member at the ' Corner,' or he never would be so unprincipled in so small a matter as £ 3."] ASCOT RACES. In the Grand Stand and its enclosures agreat many work- people have for months past been actively employed, and although this may be partially accounted for by the periodical requirements of painter's and decorator's work, it is evident that unusual expecta- tions have been raised as to the forthcoming meeting. In the Royal 8tand a corresponding bustle is apparent, while in the Stewards' and Weighing Stands several improvements indicate changes in both departments. The trustees have, in deference to wishes repeatedly expressed, constructed in the Grand Stand 22 private boxes and 60 private stalls. The former, containing nine chairs each, will be ap- proached by a separate staircase, and will be let at an extra charge of 10 guineas the box; the latter are upon the drawing room balcony, numbered consecutively to 60, and may be retained for the week at £ 2 each, inclusive of the ordinary admission. In the Royal Stand several improvements are in progress. Verandahs have been added for the protection of the royal party entering their carriages, so that several may be loaded simultane- ously, and the inconvenient detention of the leading carriage of the cortege avoided on its departure. Additional dressing rooms have also been provided for the accommodation of other members of the royal family, who may now be confidently expected. The greatest alteration, however, which we have noticed is in the grass enclosure in front of the Jockey Club and Royal Stands, and the grass plot ( nominally called " The Saddling Enclosure") will henceforth not only cease to be so called, but actually to be used for any such purpose. The Clerk of the Course has been compelled to report the impossibility of discharging his duties of weighing and taking entries, owing to the wholesale intrusion into this enclosure by persons who have neither right nor reason so to intrude. A railed passage to the weighing room is now formed from a distinct gate on the course, which can only be used by the jockeys going to be weighed, and the remainder of this grass en- closure will revert to its original intention— an occasional pro- menade for royal visitors, for members of the Household and of the Jockey Club, and for those few personal friends of the Master of the Buck Hounds who may be fortunate enough to obtain from him the mtree to his new stand, from the balcony of which a flight of steps leads on to this lawn. The judge and the telegraph are by, SJuiarnuig^ raent equally protected from fee. intrusion of all parties, it being no longer possible to obtain en- closure tickets. The bottom of the straight mile has been con- siderably widened, and several improvements effected in the round course railings, & c, which will be fully appreciated by the racing world. STUD NEWS.

LYNN RACES.— These races now stand for Thursday, Sept 3. The programme, however, will extend over only one day instead of two, as stated a week or two since. Strong hopes are enter- tained that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will be present, and a visit from such an " illustrious stranger " will of course give the affair a fillip. SALE OF SIR THOMAS LENNARD'S GALLOWAYS.— Sir Thomas Barrett Lennard, who is now getting up a stud farm in Essex, sent up three very good- looking pairs of ponies to Hyde Park- corner on Monday last— two pairs of browns, and one of grays. The latter were purchased by Lord Tredegar for 94gs the two, while of the others " Rogers," a very fine goer, made 41gs ; and Shepherd and Drover, the first two put up, the one 41 and the other 42, so that the average was a very fair one. It is intended to train this on to an annual sale on the plan of Mr Mil ward, whose things come up as usual on Monday next. The Stewards having left Chester prior to the complaint of the starter being made against several jockeys riding in the last race of the meeting, it was adjudicated at Bath on Wednesday, and the result was the following notice being posted outside the weighing- room:—" Chester, 1863.— The starter reported J. Grimshaw, Bar- low, Maidment, Goodall, and H. Sopp for disobeying his orders. J. Grimshaw and Barlow were suspended until the Monday after Ascot; H. Sopp was reprimanded and cautioned against a repe- tition of the offence, this being his first offence. The sentence against Maidment and Goodall was deferred until Tuesday in the Epsom week, in order that further inquiries be made as to previous behaviour.—( Signed) Coventry, H. I. Rous, Portsmouth ( acting for Mr C. Alexander.)" GREAT YARMOUTH RACES.— The present position of this meet- ing is as follows:— Last year, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions of the committee, the expenditure exceeded the sub- scriptions, & c, by about £ 22, which sum the committee were com- pelled to pay in January. An appeal made to several of the prin- cipal inhabitants has reduced this deficit to £ 5, a second liberal subscription having been given by each of the borough members and a few annual subscribers. It is now necessary, in order to continue the races, that they should be advertised forthwith; and the committee is prepared to do this, provided a guarantee of £ 200 is forthcoming by June 1. Should this proposition not be ac- ceded to, the committee will decline to incur any responsibility his year. SALE OF LOUD STAMFORD'S HUNTERS. STEEPLE CHASING. STEEPLE CHASING FIXTURES FOR 1863. OCTOBER. Coventry 6 IRISH. MAY. Scariff 211 Elphin 26 | Tipperary 27 THE IATE ABERGAVENNY MEETING AND THE RULES OF STEEPLE CHASING. MR EDITOR : Under the above heading I noticed a communica- tion in your last from the owner of a horse that ran in our Farmers' Steeple Chase, complaining that he had been unfairly treated. With your permission I will make a brief statement of the facts connected with this case. In the first place I may say that our conditions say " All other rules as at Newmarket." Mr Williams ran his horse under these conditions, and unfortunately for him allowed his jockey to ride 61b overweight without decla- ring it until the time for saddling, about an hour after the appointed time for the race. The rule particularly specifies that any declaration of overweight must be made to the clerk of the scales half an hour before the time fixed for the race, so Mr Wil- liams was just an hour and a half too late in making his declara- tion, and his horse was disqualified in consequence by the stewards. Some three or four days after this the stewards received a commu- nication to the effect that they had allowed Molly Asthore to walk over for the forfeits in the Open Steeple Chase by merely going from the distance post past the judge's chair, w hich is a Market Harboro' rule, and that they ought not to apply one rule to one steeple chase and another to another. The stewards, to give Mr Williams every chance, held a meeting to re- consider their decision; and on reading the Market Har- boro' rule that applies to overweight, it says, " That if more than 41b is carried overweight it must be declared at the time of saddling to the clerk of the course or one of the stewards. Neither of those gentlemen nor myself had one word said to us on the subject until the horse came to weigh in after the race. So the stewards, after giving Mr Williams the benefit of the two rules, could only but adhere to their previous decision, that the horse was fairly disqualified according to either or both rules. A few more words, Mr Editor, and I have done with Mr Williams. He says that he had been informed that he did not conform to the Market Harborough rule, because he did not declare the over- weight to one of the stewards or the clerk of the course. Then he goes on to say, " This is a quibble," for surety the clerk of the scales is the representative of all those officials. It is all very well for Mr Williams to try to pervert the rule to suit his own case, and call it quibbling on our part because we differ with him ; but I hold that, if a rule specifies that a declaration is to be made to one of the stewards or the clerk of the course, it does not mean the clerk of the scales or any other man.— Yours, & c, JOHN WATKINS, Hon Secretary and Clerk of the Course. Abergavenny, May 13, 1863. P. S.— It seems obvious to me that the intent and meaning of Market Harboro' Rule No. Nil., in having the declaration of overweight made to one of the stewards or clerk of the course in preference to the clerk of the scales ( as at Newmarket) is that the latter functionary would have so much to attend to, being the time of saddling, that he would have no time oropportunity to make the public aware of any overweight a horga might carry in the race. The Stewards of the Limerick Steeple - Chases have changed their fixture from the 7th and 8th of Sept j^ bs?.^ the 22d and of that month. The high character we gave the Horses of thsQuorn a month or so since has now been amply confirmed by that best of all tests— their market value. As there never previously was such a lot of hunters seen together never have so many made s@ strong an average. Some people, indeed, would seem to consider it almost too good a sale, and the dealers present were pretty commonly con- tent to look on; much as they might have liked a nag or two for their own stables, on the same principle that a wine merchant tries for a few dozens of that wonderful old port. The result, how- ever, can only be regarded as a fine compliment to Lord Stam- ford's judgment and integrity. Bidders and buyers felt assured ' hat they were going in for the best of their kind, and a hundred or so more or less became a matter of little consequence. Of course, wear and tear in a hunter is a matter of much considera- tion, but, young and fresh as some of these horses are, it is a matter of nice argument whether any one of thelong figures would ever fetch as much money again as he did on Saturday last. As duly announced on the catalogue and in the advertisements, the horses were 011 view in the stables at Quorn on the Wednes- day, Thursday, and Friday before the sale, when some hundreds daily availed themselves of this opportunity for inspection, the visiters culminating into quite a crowd on the Friaay, when it became a matter of some difficulty and favour to find a bed in Leicester. Conspicuous amongst the strangers were a number of French gentlemen, who threatened strongly to carry off a few of the stars of the Long Stable, until the news came on Thursday morning that Btradella had not won the Cup, when they flew off like a flock of pigeons at the evil report of a bird boy's gun. Lord Henry Bentinck, too, was very busy, and had many of the horses out, prominent among these being Bentinck himself, who was followed from his box like a Derby favourite, with a continuously increasing throng of admirers. But almost every lot, in " the Long,'' more especially, had his party, generally quite willing to go to within a few hundreds of what the nag really made. All this foreshadowing of the coming event was fortunately attended to, and at the very last moment it was determined that thesaleshouldnot take place in the yard where Sir Richard Sutton's stud was sold, as at first intended, but that the auctioneer's box should be erected on the far side of an adjoining paddock, a course that we had stood alone in re- commending 011 our previous visit. Even here the accommoda- tion, with an attendance of something like six thousand people, was terribly limited, and hundreds and hundreds of the sight- seers never attempted to get within range, but satisfied themselves by looking the horses over in their stalls, or reviewing them as they stood awaiting each one his turn on the edge of the ring. Under such circumstances it was not easy to meet with those you wished to see, and a company full of notabilities was much too scattered to be called over. Although not a houndsman's day there was a fair muster of masters and men, the extreme North being well represented by the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Eglinton, bir David Baird and Mr Anstruther Thompson; while Lord Mid- dleton, Lord H. Bentinck, Lord Galway, Sir J. Trollope, Sir J. Johnstone, Mr Lane Fox, Mr Masters, and Mr Hall, of the Holder- ness, were also north'ard; with, amongst other well- known masters of foxhounds, Sir Watkin W. Wyuxi, Lord Macclesfield, Mr Henley Greaves, Mr Charles Barnett, Mr Wieldon, Sir Velters Cornewall, Major Murray ( of the Ludlow), Mr Tom Pain, Mr Mortimer ( the old Surrey), Lord Dacre, Colonel Clowes, Mr Drake, Mr Clewes, Mr Tailby, and Mr Heathcote, of the Surrey staggers. Lord Stamford himself came straight from Chester to see the last of his magnificent stud, and the Hon General Hood and Colonel Thomas were present on behalf of his Royal High- ness the Prince of Wales. The veteran Sir Charles Knightley sat out the business on the box of a drag, and in those more " at home'' were Lord Gardener, Lord Berners, Mr Cradock, Mr Storey, Mr Chaplin, " Squire" Gaskell, and Sir Thomas Which- cote. Then there was the Marquis of Hastings, from Donnington ; two of the Messrs Sutton, Mr Meynell Ingram, jun; Colonel Wellfitt, Mr W. O. Forster, M. P.; Messrs Wickstead, Lord Hopetoun, Lord E. Paget, Mr Gilmore, Mr Craven, Sir Frederick Johnstone, Mr Bankes Wright, Mi- Bass, M. P.; Mr Meynell, Lord A. St Maur, Lord Harrington, Sir Arthur Hazlerigge, Sir F. Fowke, and Mr F. Rowlands, who could speak personally to the characters of many of the horses from " aft'' the box. " The servants" were headed by old Mr Williamson, who came all the way from the Duke of Buccleuch's ; with Charles Pain, from the Pytchley ; the two Treadwells, Ben Morgan, George Beers, Peter Collinson, Cooper, from the Belvoir; Jack Morgan, Tom Matthews, Leedham, Harris, late of the Nor- folk ; and Goddard and McBride, as a matter of course, looking on. " The Trade,'' too, was numerically in much force, and in- cluded Messrs George Rice, Collins, Oldaker, John Tollitt, Joseph Tollitt, G. Symonds, Weston, Darby, Cotterill, Bean, Murray, of Manchester; Holmes, of Beverley ; Chapman, Hum- phries, Holman, and Jacobs, all of Cheltenham; the Masons, Potter, of Ashby; Cartwright, V. S., of Wolverhampton, who was in commission for Mr W. O. Forster; and of course a number of more local men, the names of some of whom will be found on the price- list. The monster train from town having delivered up its freight, time was called between twelve and one by Mr Edmund Tatter- sall, who opened the proceedings in a neat, graceful little oration, that told well with those who were within ear- shot. He said they were there met to dispose of the finest stud of hunters that had ever been seen in Leicestershire. At the death of Bir Richard Sutton it had been feared that it would be impossible to find a successor to hunt the crack country of England in the same style in which the late lamented baronet had done. Lord Stamford, however, came forward, and for seven seasons had hunted Leicestershire in the most princely manner; actuated, moreover, as he had been, but by one wish— to show sport, and that all around might participate in it. His lordship had spared no ex- pense, while he had personally superintended everything, and he had the satisfaction of feeling that his great object had been at- tained. This had been the public verdict; and nothing could, perhaps, show better how much his heart was in the sport than the fact that Lord Stamford would be the largest subscriber to his successsor at Quorn. With regard to the stud there could be but one opinion, to which that extraordinary assemblage of gentlemen bore witness— that there never was so large a collection of horses of first- rate stamp ever offered for public sale. Lord Stamford had selected these horses himself; price here never stopped him, and there was a family likeness about them which spoke to the model his lordship had in his eye. They had nearty all fine shoulders and beautiful heads, full of intelligence; while they were almost, without exception, good hacks, and many of them had carried Lady Stamford. It was only necessary to say further that every horse would be sold without i^ serve, save in one instance only, which would be declared when the horse came up. The business was now in their hands, and he had so doubt but that the prices realised would prove that Lord Stamford had not only given great prices, but that he had value for his money. As junior counsel, and on behalf of himself and partner, he would call upon the company to bid aloud, as it was impossible to see every one who wished to make an offer in the immense assemblage before him. As we have already in a previous paper spoken to the general character of the Horses of the Quorn, as well as to the individual merits of many of them, we shall not repeat ourselves here more than is absolutely necessary in recording the progress of the sale. This opened languidly enough with some rough lots, and half a dozen hack horses sent in to finish up the season with. Victrix, however, a clever light weight mare, made fifty ; and Snowdrop, a very good- looking grey, a hundred over this. Vaultress, again, with her rare hocks and thighs, the lengthy Daisy, and Lady Bird — good, honest, and handsome— realised fair prices; but those who, like ourselves, had been sanguine enough to set the average at two hundred a piece, saw little so far to warrant such an esti- mate. Nor did the next few succeeding lots— such as the speedy ewe- necked Bloodhound, the powerful Barnton, the handsome Cawston, or the clever, symmetrical Plough- Boy— come up to anything like this standard, though, as it will be seen, they brought what would be commonly considered very good returns." But it was not until the catalogue came to the Long Stable, and Mr Edmund handed over the hammer to his cousin, that the Quorn sale really set in. The first horse here is the famous Bentinck, a whole- coloured chesnut, the very model of the tho- rough bred hunter, as the very perfection of power and pace com- bined ; with great arms and magnificent shoulders, a lean hand- some head, a deal of liberty and good widish hind- leg action. Calmly as he faces the rostrum, there is a resolute look about Bentinck, and they do say that, until he settles into his stride, he is not quite an easy horse to ride; but put in at two hundred he is not long in getting to five, at which figure he is secured by General Hood for the Prince. An Irish horse by birth, we be- lieve if there is a weak place about Bentinck it will be in his hocks, one of which just tells of the neatest and finest bit of firing perhaps ever noticed; or, quite as probably, perhaps never noticed by hundreds of people. The next horse is another chesnut, but of not the same fashionable appearance; indeed, there is a certain coarseness about Forester, but with it a deal of use and service, and he goes to Lord Dudley for a hundred within the price of the crack. The Right Man, a favourite horse of Lady Stamford's, and originally from the stable of the Honourable Robert Grimston, has a clean, clever, lengthy look about him, that again attracts the General's gaze, and he soon becomes the Prince's second horse, though at not so large an outlay. Pro- tector, with a high character, tops this price, and then Mr Cart- wright goes in for Pilot, a hunter of still greater repute, but that very true and level through, scarcely looks to be what the last bidding estimates him— the best horse of the stud. He stands booked to Mr W. O. Forster, for 520, and Mr Cartwright quickly matches him with Comet, another of Lady Stamford's pets, and one of the handsomest of all of them. He is, indeed, with that beautiful light action, and " bending'' way with him, all over the horse for a Prince, and General Hood goes as far as 490, when he might even have gone on for so really delightful ahorse to ride as Comet is known to be. Excelsior, a flashy, fiat- catching grey, with showy action, is hardly 111 place in the Long Stable, but he makes money, if it only be as a match horse. Pilgrim goes away as well as we knew he must when he first came round in his stall, and Rat- trap is a bioodlike chesnut, with great substance and plenty of liberty. Phoenix, a very neat nag, and a great favourite with my lord, reaches to 400, though but a middling goer upon parade; but the Hare, with his plain head, his lop ear, and certain vulgar good looks, has substance enough about him to fill the agricultural eye of Mr Ewins Bennett. Old Times, the big brook jumper, corky, cheerful, and never tired, with his long arms and his short legs, is a bargain for any one to go on with ; and well may the new master be so eager for Burgundy, a perfect picture of a hunter to stand alongside, and only yet more charming when in action. Still, he is surpassed by Sultan, in our humble notion the sweetest nag of the whole string, either to please the eye or to prove by that wondrous action, as Mike trots him down. This is another worthy of a Prince, if you please; and instead of trying his royal highness with Ben- tinck and the Right Man, we would have seen him in prefe- rence opening with Comet and Sultan. But the latter goes the cheapest lot of the day to Lord Middleton for just over three hun- dred. Cornelian is a tine fresh horse, with noticeably great thighs, and a very high- bred determined air about him; and Merry Tom, with his great bone, hi3 deep barrel and his clean head, is an- nounced as having once won a steeple chase over the Harborough country; while Groby, a very neat Irish horse, shows more wear than many of them. Planet is a shortish- necked horse, with fine quarters and much power; Warrington, very sound and active, has great depth, and a capital barrel; and Rocket has the recommendation of being a clever hack to back his many other obvious merits. As we said of him weeks since, " this is another of Lady Stamford's own, and in every way one of the most perfect in the stable; it is seldom, indeed, that so com- plete an animal for his purpose has ever been seen. His symmetry might almost make him appear a small horse, until you have time to examine him, while his clean, lean head, and fine arch- ing neck, tell of how he would play with his bit, and bend to his bridle, and carry a lady as she should be carried.'' Or, as we might go on to say, a gentleman either, and the Prince has missed another, just as Lord Hastings would seem to be picking out the neat ones. Rifleman, as he faced the box with his beauti- ful blood- like head, or turned to bid adieu to the classic kennels of the Quorn, looked the very ideal of the Leicestershire hunter, and walked away worth all the money; while Harkaway, a young, lengthy, stylish nag, went dirt cheap, and King of the Forest, with looks and character as a fine fencer, was naturally run up a bit. Lord Henry Bentinck fancied St Ronan, by Minotaur out of Miss Mowbray's dam, at 420, a deep- framed, powerful horse, with clever, springy action, but very doubtful forelegs, and altogether about the dearest deal of the day ; though he is doomed to have his tail squared to the orthodox length of the Burton. Charley, on the other* hand, as a good second in three steeple chases and the fastest horse in the stable, fell cheap at a hundred to Mr Rowlands, who will, no doubt, turn his pace to account hereafter; and Eme- rald, a great, slashing chesnut, a trifle overtopped, saw the twenty- eight lots of the Long Stable out. Of the others Enville, a very grand, great horse, made 300; Protectionist, with a fine repu- tation but merely a moderate appearance, 150; and Miss Bean, a little beauty when asked to show herself, 170, to Lord Hastings, who seems to have a keen eye for a clever one. Lord Dacre took to the useful Volunteer, Lord Harrington to the handsomer Car- dinal, and Lord St Maur to the very varmint, wicked- looking Silverhair. The fancy, however, of the remainder was Charnwood, a horse that Lord Stamford himself would recommend as highly as anything in the whole stud, and this, no doubt, sold him, for Lord Hastings was not so fastidious here, as his horse is not quite clean enough about his head and neck to pass muster with some of the others. Sunbeam is vesy taking to the eye; Kegworth, a fine strapping nag that may be worth double his price for a welter ; and Skylark, despite a chipped knee, was known to be good enough to reach three- hundred. It is next to impossible, however, to do justice to every horse, for the crowd, if anything, increases, and the Stand has long since been untenable. Let us add, though, that her ladyship's own korse Trumpeter was paraded with no offer swser. the reserve of ^ TTTTi ft 17sot^ laf: Lord and Lady Stamford have each saved one ; old Bradgate still staying side by side with the big bay horse that has borne himself so gallantly in such fair company. Two or three cast- offs from the racing stable and a pair or two of harness horses and ponies were also put up, together with up- wards of forty saddles, eighty bridles, and seventy suits of cloth- ing. We have preferred, however, to confine our catalogue to the horses of the Quorn actually sold. These, including hacks and hunters, numbered up to 73 lots, realising 14,022gs, at an average of over 192gs each; and as Lord Stamford subsequently refused 600gs for Trumpeter, the prices would come very close up to the 200 each. The Long Stable alone made 8,500gs,' at an average of something over 303gs a horse. BULL'S HEAD STABLE.

TESTIMONIAL TO TREAD- WELL, LATE HUNTSMAN TO THE QUORN.— At a dinner at Loughborough, on Thursday, Mr Robert Carver, of Ingarsby, in the chair, a purse of 100 guineas was given to Treadwell, together with a framed testimonial, bearing the following inscription :—" Presented, together with a purse con- taining one hundred pounds to John Treadwell, late huntsman, to the Right Hon the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, by bis friends in the Quorn country, chiefly farmers and tradesmen, who fully appreciate his excellence as a sportsman, and his uniform civility and willingness to show sport. Signed, Robert Carver, on behalf of tke subscribers, May 7th, 1863.'' THE CHASE. LINLITHGOW AND STIRLINGSHIRE FOXHOUNDS. The competition for the prizes given for the best puppies took place at Golfhall Kennels 011 Saturday, May 9, when the following awards were made:— For the best dog puppy, first prize of £ 5, Mr Ritchie, Lockharb Arms, Carnwarth ( Lustre). Second of £ 3, Lieut- Col Sir A. C. G. Maitland, Bart, Clifton Hall, Ratho ( Lifter). Third of £ 2, Mr Mitchell, Balderston, Linlithgow ( Bluecap). For the best bitch puppy, first prize of £ 5, Mr Johnstone, Wood- head, Boness ( Barmaid). Second of £ 3, Mr Miller, Briggs, Kirkleston ( Beauty). Third of £ 2, Capt Hankey, Middleton Hall, Uphall ( Barbara). Mr Williamson and Mr Atkinson were the judges. It was the general opinion that the puppies shown were a very good entry, and reflected great credit on those gentlemen who had walked them. Mr Drake will hunt the Bicester Hounds himself next season, and Bob Warrall comes back from the Warwickshire, to whip- in to his old master. HUNTING DINNER AT PARIS.— On Saturday, May 9, a number of French hunting gentlemen assembled at dinner at the Trois Frfires Provencaux, under the presidency of the Prince de Wa- gram. Among those present were General the Marquis de La- rochejaquelin, MM de Lorge, de Labesge, Desvignes, de Maichin, Frossart, Couteaux, & c. At the dessert, and on the invitation of the president, M Couteaux, one of the best sportsmen of Poitou, improvised a chanson de circonstance, which was warmly ap- plauded, and in which, no doubt, due justice was done to the highly appreciated visit of the Duke of Beaufort to the Poitevins. This dinner may be regarded as the final wind up of the hunting season of 1862- 3 in France. COURSING. COURSING FIXTURES FOR 1863. SEPTEMBER. PLACE. COUNTY. JUDGE.

The silver cup and money prizes won at Ponder's End Trotting Races on Tuesday, May 12, will be presented to their respective owners at Mr Jewison's, the Pike and Anchor, Ponder's End, on Monday, the 18th inst, at six p. m., when Mr Cook will back liis roan mare Clear the Way, 14 hands 3 inches high, to trot Mr Andrews's grey cob 8teamer, for £ 50 a side, five miles ( over the Ponder's End Race Course). The race to take place within a month. Mr Rodney not being satisfied with the pony Jerry's perform- ance in the Trotting Races at Ponder's End, has left £ 5 in our hands to match him two miles ( in harness), for £ 50 a side, against Jack Rossiter, Miss Bounce, Black Beetle, Black Bess, or any other that went in the races on Tuesday last. By covering the £ 5 left in our hands, and calling at Mr Bence's, Fox and Hounds, Hare- street, Bethnal Green, any evening next week, between eight and ten o'clock, the match can be made and articles drawn. Mr Enoch Reade of Birmingham, having matched his black pony Potato Bob, 13 hands high, to trot in harness 10 miles in 40 minutes, for £ 10 a side, the match came off on Wednesday, May 13, from the third to the thirteenth milestone on the Coventry road out of Birmingham. The peny was driven by the owner, a 12st man, in a vehicle that weighed 3cwt, Mr C. Wheeler was the appointed referee. At half- past nine a. m. the word was given, the pony going away at a good pace, finishing the distance ( 10 miles) in 38min 30sec, apparently quite fresh. There was but little bet- ting on the event. Mr " Reade will trot Potato Bob against Mr Harrison's Daisy, from 15 to 20 miles, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side. Money ready at any time. An answer through Bell's Life at- tended to. Mr Chas. Cole will take 100 yards start of Sketty Whiffler to trot Maid of Athens two miles on the Pike and Anchor Course, both to go in harness, for £ 10 a side. A match can be made at the Garibaldi Tavern, Ware- street, Kingsland- road, on Thurs- day evening, between eight and ten p. m. PIGEON SHOOTING. HORNSEY WOOD HOUSE.— The aristocratic sportsmen assembled at these grounds on Saturday, May 9, and shot several handicap sweepstakes at pigeons, from five traps, with double guns, the use of both barrels. The principal winners were Mr Lamont, Capt Peyton, Major Egerton, Capt Burnand, Major Anson, Sir J. Blois, and Col Anaesley. On Tuesday, May 12, they again met, and although the weather was particularly unfavourable for the amusements, there was a strong muster. Major A. H. Anson and Lord Cowper shot two matches, for £ 25 a side, the latter giving one yard and, a half in each match : but Major Anson won both events easily. Col Annesley and Major Anson shot a. match at seven birds each, for £ 20, and the colonel won after a most exciting struggle. Four handicap sweepstakes then came off, and Major Anson, Mr Robertson, Capt Peyton, and Col Annesley were the principal winners. The shooting was first- rate through- out the afternoon, and Barber's birds gave general satisfaction. Barber has now. fey him 100 dozen blue rocks, at Bclator- street, Bethnal tke « iL. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, MAY 10, 1863. * In the French Derby, J in the Grand Prize. RACING XM FRANCE. CHANTILLY SPRING MEETING. ( FROM OUR OWN COEEESPONDENT.) This meeting has rarely commenced under more favourable circumstances than it did test Sunday, for the principal event on the card, the French Oaks, was regarded with considerably more interest than usual, by reason that the gentler sex that have coine out this season have been by far the best performers, and as the best of these were spotted as the probable starters, a most in- teresting race was anticipated. The card was altogether a very good one, and the weather being also favourable, there was no falling off in the large and fashionable attendance that is usually to be seen at these favourite reunions. The racing com- menced with the Prix de la Heine Blanche, for which nine came to the post, and Cliamboran, who was selected the favourite, had no great difficulty in landing the money that was invested on him. The race, was, however, marked by an accident, for Merlin, who won the Selling Race at Paris last week, fell, when ne had gone about halt way, and broke his oil' fetlock joint in the most awful manner we have ever seen. Of course it therefore became quite necessary that he should be destroyed, but we are sorry to say that the poor brute's sufferings were greatly augmented by the means that were taken to put an end to them, as he was placed under the tender mercies of a pig- butcher. This fool actually set qbout killing him with a small hammer , and the consequence was that the pooramimal was fighting against his assailant for nearly ten minutes, receiving more than forty blows, and having his brains regularly beat out ere he dropped dead. Even the French peasants, who were standing by, said that it was the greatest piece of butchery they had ever seen, arid we cannot understand why M Lupin or his trainer did not give more decided orders as to his being mercifully destroyed. Moreover, we are surprised that 1VL Lupin, who has always been averse to steeple chasing— considering the sport cruel, and an abuse to horseflesh— skould have run such a horse as Merlin, when the ground was as hard as a brick floor, and the horse's joint before starting was of a most disgraceful size. Kitchener even refused to ride nim, so his breaking down must have been considered almost, a certainty. Per the half mile race Mori Etoile was backed as if it was a good thing, but as the race turned out she never seemed abie to go the pace even with old Goodby, who • was, however, defeated by his younger brother, Gentilhoimne, very easily. Fourteen came together tor the handicap, for which it was expected that the Derby favourite, Marjolet, would run • with 1051b o< i him, but the public were here disappointed, for M Itobiu only brought out Souvenir, who seemed quite unable to act under his welter of lOst. The race resulted in an easy victory for the Duke de Morny's stable by the aid of Noelie, which brought Demon into conversation for the Derby. Report says that this colt has done everything his party have asked him, and that he is such a remarkable glutton for work that it has taken two horses every morning for toe last three months to lead him his gallops. Attention was now directed towards the paddock, where nine fillies were stripped for the Oaks, Pergola, who was backed very heavily by her owner, being the one that received the greatest amount of admiration ; and next to her Conquete came in for the greatest share, and her owner also looked upon it as a certainty, as did also old Flatman, who said that he had never mounted one on • whom he placed more reliance. Grande Mademoiselle was alsj thought another certainty, butall were doomed to defeat, and from a quarter from wjieucedanger was least of all expected, for the clever in- spectors were all voters to a man that La Toucques was a very plain, common looking filiy. So the surprise that was stamped on every countenance when, after a good run race, this plain- looking ani- mal was seen beating all the cracks in a walk may be better ima- gined than described In fact, there has never been such a sur- prise known at Chantilly, for, although Mr Montgomery has fre- quent, ly run horses m France he has never had any success, and the mare's running at York the other day quite impressed an idea that sue was worthless. However, the very appearance of La Toucques is quite enough to show that half a mile is not the course to suit her, for she is a big, lengthy lilly, that would take quite that distance to get into her stride, and when she is really in full swing this stride is enormous, and us she can evidently stay with it she is no doubt a very first- class filly. Her performance instantly brought her up from ( 36 to 1 to 2 to 1 for the French Derby, for Which, of course, if she Happens to pull it off, she will be quite a windfall for the bookmakers, although to some she will not be a very good one, as several times during the winter she was backed at long shots to win good stakes. Mr Montgomery was warmly congratulated by numerous friends after the race, and every one agrees that fortune could not have taken a better turn, for Mr Montgomery is one of the few who race for pleasure, and not, for profit. He has for some years always kept one or two hoi'ies at Fobert's, where La Toucques has been since she was a yearling. Concerning the French Derby, which comes off next Sunday, we have little new to relate, excepting of course what has transpired with regard to La Toucques, and that Stentor is the one that is chiefly fancied to beat her, for the appearance of Mar- jolet, who has arrived at Chantilly, is not generally liked, and the rain that has fallen since last Sunday makes the backers of Steutor more sanguine, as it is favourable to his legs. M Lupin lias sent his favourite, together with a couple of companions, to Yerberie, near Compiegne, where the rides are very good, to take his last gallop. We aiso iiear that the Confederates have sent to England for their Derby nag, but we are not aware whether it will be Hospodar or Filibuster.

' Qctavo raced past Longue Haieine after rounding the Reservoir tuhj( j.. and Merlin at the same time took third place, whilst Chain- boiln also drew up fourth, in which order they passed the stables, when Pratt pulled back Merlin to steady him down the hill, but, notwithstanding, the moment he began to descend it his leg gave way, and, falling head over heels, broke his fetlock joint right in two, Bonne d'Enfant jumping over the fallen jockey and horse; but fortunately Prate was only slightly stunned, and was able to ride again during the day. Going up the hill on the other side, Octave, Longue Haieine, and Le Fou were beaten, which gave Chanvhoran the lead, and although Cassiope joined him at the dis- p& he could never fairly reach him, and he ran home an easy 1 1 2 2 3 dr dr wihjStoa a length.

After some delay at the post the lot were despatched to a rather struggling start, Belie Dupre being the first to appear in advance, followed by Noelie, Banniere, Milton, Dame Blanche, M Verry's two, Infante, Princet, and Choisy le Roi running well together in nearly the order indicated, and about three lengths in, their wake came Souvenir, who wa3 followed at an interval of more than twice that distance by Le Due Job and Inconnu, who both got very badly off. Banniere passed Noelie after rounding the Reservoir turn, and lay second all down the straight on the far side, but otherwise there was little change worthy of note until they were passing the stables, when Princet took fourth place, and Goodhope at this point rushed up through his horses, and got about fifth, Belle Dupre, however, maintaining the running to the bottom of the hill, where she was beaten, and Mons Reiset's filly was left with the lead, closely pressed by Milton and Noelie, the former of whom retired at the White House, and in a few strides further Noelie headed Banniere, and Princet now coming right to the front, the race became confined entirely to the three, Koelie, however, always having the best of it, and, without being called upon, landed the Duke de Morny's colours victorious for the first time this season very easily by a length and a half ; three lengths separating the favourite from Banniere, and Goodhope was a bad fourth, Choisy le Roi fifth, Infante sixth, Paphos seventh, and Souvenir eighth.

Baron de la Rochette got them off to a beautiful start at the first attempt, the lot running almost in line to the Stands, when Con- quete first showed in advance, followed by Fleur de Mai, Grande Dame, Villafranca,, Valentine, Bouteille " a l'Encre, La Toucques, Pergola, and Grande Mademoiselle in the order indicated. M Schickler's filly being the only one that lost a trifle by the start. Excepting that La Toucques and Pergola both drew in front of Bouteille a l'Encre at the Reservoirs there was scarcely any change in positions until passing the stables, when Kitchener attempted to take the favourite to the front, but he seemed never able to get nearer then fourth, which place he maintained down the hill into the dip just opposite the chateau, where Fleur de Mai fell back beaten, and at the same time La Toucques drew up and took second place; Grande Dame still going on third, and Conquete leading, though as they swept round the brow of the hill into the straight it became quite evident that the lead running, and just managing to stall off the favourite's rush at the finish, won a very close race by a head.

RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. BAILING MATCH, MAY 12.— This club was originally an above- bridge club, but has been driven from its once pleasant and tranquil sailing ground by the increased number of hideous rail- way bridges, and this year opened the Thames season at an un- usually early period.

The prizes offered were:— For the first boat, a handsome silver cup and cover, value 12gs, presented by the Commodore, Colonel Evelyn; for the second boat, a silver cup, value 6gs, presented by the treasurer.

DEAB BELL : The numerous notices of the state of affairs in the Royal Thames Yacht Club, which have appeared in the public journals, no longer make the subject one of private con- cern, and, taking an interest, as I do, in the affairs of the yacht- ing world, I venture again to address a few lines to you. I understand that the result of a recent meeting of the club in question has been to leave it without a commodore, a vice- com- modore, a treasurer, or a committee. No yachting man can view this situation of the club without deep concern. I am not without hopes, however, that out of this evil good may arise. It is to be hoped that this great body of men, this mammoth yacht club of the day, will adopt the example of our experienced House of Commons, or any other great assembly, and at their next meeting will take the only course there is of solving their difficulties by nominating a business- like select committee to take the entire case into consideration, who would fearlessly recommend what should be done to restore order; and, if this course be adopted, I trust that in considering this grave question the committee will look at it in its public bearing, and that they will allow no private interests, but rather those of the club and the yachting world at large alone, to influence them.— Yours, & c, J.

Gator's Billy and C. Mitchell's Talbot, 11 out of 21 which, from the similarity of La Toucques and Grande Dame's colours, was at first taken to be the latter, and the general shouts from the Stands were, " Mr Carter wins," " Grande Dame wins," though, on approaching the White House, it became quite appa- rent that, it was La Touoques that had everything safe; for she now passed Conquette just as she liked, and although Grande Dame made a very game effort to reach her, she quite outstrode everything, and won with such ridiculous ease, that Doyle actually trotted her past the post the winner by three lengths; Conquete was beaten about as far from Grande Dame, and Pergola finished close up fourth, Villafranca was a bad fifth, Valentine sixth, Fleur de Mai seventh, Grande Mademoiselle eighth, and Bouteille a, l'Encre was last.

FIVES.— In answer to J. Bird's challenge, which appeared in our last week's impression, J. Kenny of Worsbro' Common, near Barnsley, Yorkshire, will play J. Bird two games out of three, 21 up, to play with their own balls, a game each, and toss for choice of balls for the third game; to come off half- way between home and home, for any sum he chooses. A deposit sent to Bell's Life, and articles to J. Kenny, at Mrs Wildsmith's, Dillington Park Inn, Worsbro' Common, will ensure a match. DRAUGHTS, & C— T.

The monthly meeting of this club was held on Friday, May 1, and was very fully attended ; the chair being taken by Mr Hewitt, the Commodore, faced by Mr Leach, the Vice. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, the chair- man said that the committee had chosen a design for the cup to be presented to the winner of the international match of that club in lonour of the nuptials of the Prince and Princess of Wales. Eo had much pleasure in informing them that the members of the club had so nobly responded to the call, that instead of giving a 50 guinea prize, as heretofore announced, they would be enabled when the subscription list closed to increase the value of the ptfize to £ 70. He further had the pleasure of stating that the club would add a prize of 10 guineas for the second boat. It had been the wish of himself and the other officers to make this truly the match of the season, and the fixture had been chosen as oppor- tunely as possible in order to ensure a large entry. He anticipated that fthe Southampton Polly, Quiver, Octaroon, Bessie, Vision, Violet, Aerolite, Algerine, Transatlantic, Meome, Wasp, the Colchester Polly, and a new iron boat being built especially for the match at Millwall, would be found amongst the competitors. While the club spared no expense to make this race worthy of the occasion, every possible regard would be paid to minor detai'. and to the comfort of the visitors anxious to witness the race. The contest would take place on Tuesday, June 9, and the entries would close at nine o'clock the night of Thursday, the 4th, instead of Friday, the 5th, as before stated, and the measurement of those who had not already certificates from the metropolitan clubs, which rendered it unnecessary, would take place on Mon- day, the 8th, at Erith. The design of the cup, to be manufactured by Mr J. W. Benson, was inspected and much applauded, and the cup itself will be produced at a special meeting, to be held on Monday, June 2, on which evening a special meeting to complete any arrangements necessary will take place at the club house, the Freemasons' Tavern.— Mr Percival Turner, the treasurer, moved, and Mr Benson seconded, that circulars be sent to the yacht clubs at different ports, soliciting members to send boats to compete for the above prizes; yachts under 15 tons, of all nations, irrespective of any rig or build, being admissible.— Mr Webster, the cup- bearer, stated that the subscription list was still open, and requested that members would communicate with him as early as possible. The new members on the list were then duly elected. The address determined upon at the last meeting to the Prince and Princess of Wales was then read and approved of. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB- The monthly meeting of this club will be held at the Cale- donian Hotel, Adelphi- terrace, London, on Monday next, May 18, at eight o'clock p. m. precisely. The first match of the season will take place on Wednesday, May 27 ; and the second match on Wednesday, the 10th of June next; the entry for the first match closing at ten p. m. on Wednesday, May 20, and for the second match at ten p. m. on Wednesday, the 3d of June. Yachts to be measured at Erith the day before each match. Both matches are open to vessels belonging to any recognised yacht club. The steambeat Queen of the Thames has been engaged by the club to accompany them, and members may obtain tickets for themselves and friends on application addressed to the stewards at the club house, but in order to secure tickets for friends mem- bers must make early application, as the admissions for non- members will be limited. Members wishing to dine at the club dinner, at six o'clock on the evening of the meeting are to give notice of their intention to Mr Elder before three o'clock on that day. Mr G. Harrison, of the schooner yacht Diana, will be pro- posed for election as Rear- Commodore at this meeting, and the following gentlemen balloted for:— Messrs J. C. Morice, Stock Exchange, E. C., yacht Marina, 65 tons ; W. N. Rudge, Stock Ex- change, E. C.; T. Ouchterlony, 157, Fenchurch- street, E. C. ; J. Davie, Millwall Iron Works, £. ; J. W.

On Thursday, May 7, the yachting season commenced, under most favourable circumstances. The following yachts were at the station:— YACHT, TONS, OWNEK. [ YACHT. TONS, OWNER. EUGENIE ,. 90..

The band of the 11th Regiment performed on the Promenade Quay, which was thronged with visitors from various quarters. During the day a general meeting of the club took place, when a state- ment of the club accounts for the past year was produced, by which it appears that its affairs are in a flourishing state. A ballot took place, when a large number of new members were ad- mitted. In the evening about 50 members dined together. COMMITTEE MEETING.— At a meeting of the committee of the Cork Harbour Regatta, held at the Royal Cork Yacht Club- house, May 8, Admiral French presiding, the following important reso- lution was unanimsusly adopted:—" That no ballast or weight be thrown overboard, or shifted, during the race; that no water ballast be allowed; that no bags of shot, or other ballast prepared or suitable fOr shifting, be allowed to be on board, and that a declaration to that effect be signed by the owner, or his repre- sentative, previous to the race, and countersigned by the same person and the sailing- master before receiving the prize. That all ballast shall be under the platform, or in lockers; and that the platform and lockers shall be examined by such persons, and at such times, as the committee may appoint; no more than the usual chains and anchors shall be allowed to be carried during the race. And if it shall be proved, before the committee, that YACUT. NOVICE NIKOMI VISION 8J .. Mr Harrison The Novice was formerly called the Lurline, and was built at Shoreham. We confess that we rejoiced to see her last, as a punishment for following the foolish and troublesome practice of changing the name. The Nikoini was new this year, alse from Shoreham. Her name was spelt upon the card in Greek characters, but as, to the best of our recollection, there is no such word in ancient Greek, and as few readers of Bell can be acquainted with modern Greek ( supposing the word to be modern Greek), we have thought it best to put plain English letters. The Vision was built by Benyon, at Birken- head, a few years ago, and has been very successful in the Irish Channel. Her owner ( Mr Harrison) having taken the office of managing director of one of the iron sliip- building companies in the Thames, brought her up by railway; and if she continues as she began, she will be a formidable addition to the Thames boats of her size. The Aerolite is quite new, built by Aikenhead and Johnson, at Wandsworth, sails by Mudd of Gravesend, and pre- sented a remarkable contrast to the Vision, as the two vessels lay side by side. The Vision has a high, narrow stern, and a high deck, with only an inch or two of bulwark. The Aerolite has a very broad stern, a low deck, and about eight inches of bulwark. She had only been out two days, and, of course, sailed under great disadvantages. The Jes- sica was built by Waterman in 1853, and has sailed many times with fair successs. The morning was rough, squally, and gloomy, with a strong wind from the S. W. The vessels were intended to be in a line across the river, at Woolwich, and started frem their own anchors; but the line of course was not good, and the Jessica, for some reason, had not taken up her berth in time, so that the other boats were obliged to wait whilst she beat up against tide. The first gun was fired at 12: 50, and we presume that the customary five minutes would have been allowed; but the Jessica was d raggi n g so fast that the second gun was fired at 12: 52: 45. This seemed to puzzle the yachts, and some did not begin to hoist sail; however, a third gun, a few seconds after the second, fairly started them. Of course, under such circumstances, the start was not good. The Vision and Nikomi made the best of it. The Novice and Nikomi must be very stiff, as they carried whole sails. The others had two reefs down throughout the day, and had quite enough with that. In Gallions Reach Jessica was leading well, with a squaresail set; Vision, Aerolite, Nikomi, and Novice pretty close together. In Barking Reach the wind was very strong, and the Vision passed into the first place, without any attempt at stopping by Jessica. After this they found the wind shorter, and heeled over fearfully, blue water over the decks, and spray flying to leeward half as high as the mast. In Erith Reach the wind was shorter still, and Aerolite began to show well, leading her admirers to believe that in beating back she would regain what she had lost. She soon came up to Jessica, and was stopped, both being unpleasantly near the mud at the time, and this allowed Nikomi to come close up. Aerolite soon afterwards got past, and off Erith Vision was per- haps a quarter of a mile ahead, Aerolite next, then Jessica, then Nikomi, Novice astern. In this order they rounded the Point in a heavy squall, heeling over fearfully. In Erith Rands they were able to ease the sheets and shake off some of the water. Here Nikomi ran up to Jessica, but was cleverly stopped, and Jessica got away. InLong Reach and ontherestof the way dawn there was not quite so much wind. The club steamer anchored about half a mile below Rosherville. The vessels rounded her : H. M. S. I H M S. I H. M . S. VISION 2 23 40 JESSICA 2 30 30 NOVICE 2 30 38 AEROLITE 2 26 30 | NIKOMI 2 30 37 | The last three boats were^ close together ; in fact, as the Novice tried to squeeze out the Nikomi they came in contact, but, with the good feeling of this club, no notice was taken of such an acci- dent. The tide was slackening, and they only just fetched through Gravesend Reach. The leading boats kept well ahead, but a desperate struggle ensued between the other three. In Erith Rands Nikomi was last, but we believe that at one time she was first of the three. The wind was not quite so strong as in the morning, and nothing remarkable occurred. The flag buoy off" Erith Pier was passed: H. M. s. J II. M. s. I H. M. s. VISION 3 41 40 JESSICA 3 56 30 NOVICE 3 57 40 AEROLITE 3 48 30 | NIKOMI 3 57 15 | A singular accident happened to the Aerolite. There was hardly any tide, so the buoy rope of the mark buoy was probably slack, and the Aerolite, in passing, caught it either on the stem or in the heel, and the buoy was suddenly seen going up the river and under water. In a few seconds, however, it shook loose, but this pure accident inspired the owner of one of the two last boats to claim the second prize as for a foul by the Aerolite, and as being within time of the Jessica. This notion, however, was not listened to for a moment, and the Vice- Commodore, Mr Pick, proceeded to give the prizes. Vision, of course, having the first and Aerolite the second. TheNaiad, with the skilful, careful, and attentive Capt Wheeler, was engaged by the club to accompany the match, but the rain of the morning and the cold gloom of the day made the assemblage on board very scanty. Luckily the rain ceased before the steamer started, and did not begin again until about half an hour after the match was over. The steamer started with great punctuality from Hungerford, and had the vessels been at their stations the start would have been made at the time indicated. Punctuality has been said to be the politeness of princes, and it certainly is the test of prosperity and good management in yacht- ing and horse racing. The monthly meeting of this club was held on Wednesday evening, May 13, at the Pier Hotel, Cheyne- walk, Chelsea. The chair was taken by Mr Lenthall, the treasurer, in the absence of the flag officers. On the motion of the chairman, it was resolved that the annual dinner should take place on Thursday, June 30, at the Pier Hotel, Chelsea. The following stewards were ap- pointed :— Col Evelyn ( Commodore), Messrs Ingram Pick ( Vice), Lenthall, Teague, Boggett, Boyd, Child, Guillaume, Harrison, Keen, Larner, Oriel, Powell, Royston, Wharton, Britten, Tyler, and Light. The chairman next announced the second race of the season to take place on July 10, preliminaries to be hereafter arranged. The gentlemen whose names were on the ballot list were then unanimously elected. IRISH MODEL YACHT CLUB. The opening meeting for the season of this club was held at Gilbert's Hotel, Dublin, May 7, when a large num- ber of the members were present. The captain of the fleet took the chair at seven p. m., when the officers and committee were unanimously re- elected, and a ballot having been held, the owners of three fine schooners and other gentlemen were duly admitted members.— The treasurer announced that he had a good balance in hand from 1862, after paying all expenses and the prizes sailed for, and the following prize sheet was adopted:— First match, J une 6, for money prizes given by the club, open to yachts of the club of the first class, exceeding 15 and net exceed- ing 25 tons, and of the third class, exceeding 6 and not exceeding 10 tons. Second match, June 25, for a prize given by the hon secretary, open to all yachts of the club not exceeding 20 tons. Third match, July 4, for money prizes given by the club, open to yachts of the club of the second class, exceeding 10 and not ex- ceeding 15 tons; and of the fourth class, not exceeding 6 tons. Half- minute time allowed in each match, and the yachts to be manned and steered by members of the club, or of a royal yacht club, or the sons of such members; one paid hand only being allowed in each boat, which will forfeit all claim to the prize if he touch the tiller. Fourth match, July 13, for the Challenge Cup of the club and the office of captain for the ensuing year, a money prize for the second boat, open to all yachts of the club not exceeding 15 tons. No restriction in hands or sails, but strictly under the new sail- ing regulations of the club, No. X. of which prescribes " That no ballast be shifted or trimmed on board any yacht while sailing fora prize, but all ballast shall be stowed under the platform or in lockers; and no yacht having on board any bags of shot or any other kind of ballast or weights for the purpose of shifting or trimming shall be allowed to sail in any race. The owner or his representative to give to the secretary, with his entry, a declaration signed by him that no such ballast shall be on board during the race." During the evening the idea of a sub- scription cup for a larger class of yachts than are allowed to sail in the matches of the club struck some of the members, and after a little discussion, the plan of a subscription of 2s per ton was hit upon, as forcing the owners of the larger vessels, who may be supposed to have the best chance, to bet odds to their smaller brethren, and was at once taken up. The Cup is to be sailed for on May 20 and ,27, and June 3 and 10, at the same hour, and round the same course, under the sailing regulations of the Irish Model Yacht Club, which are nearly the same as those, the draught of which was published in the April number of Hunt's Magazine, the winner to keep it until beaten, and to become the absolute property of the yacht winning it oftenest. Ties, if any, to be sailed off Sept 9, half minute time allowed on a course of about 18 miles, which gives the little- uns a chance which ( if any time allowance can bring yachts of different classes together) they will seldom get again, and which ought to give a great insight into the present inscrutable mystery of time allow- ances for tonnage, especially on so fair and open a course as the one in Dublin Bay. The following boats were at once entered:— YACHT. RIG. TONS. | YACHT. RIG. TONS. ECHO cutter 34 | PET cutter .. 12 CARINA .... cutter 11 BANBA cutter 24 L'ECLAIR .. cutter 32 STORM cutter 35 BELLE schooner 70 | SAPPHO .... cutter 16 The earnest thanks of the meeting were then given to the chair- man, who is a warm'" supporter of the club and of yacht racing generally, and who built his beautiful little craft the Magnet, 12 tons, expressly for the purpose of winning the Challenge Cup of the Club, which he has succeeded in doing two years in succes- sion, and the meeting separated. THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA. MB EDITOB : The committee of the Thames Subscription Club having decided that prizes value £ 55 shall be offered for old- fashioned four- oars, out,- rigged fore and aft, I beg to state that I will attend at the Ship Tavern, Lambeth, on Wednesday evening. May 20, at eight o clock, to arrange with the Tradesmen's Club and resident waterside crews what qualifications shall entitle them to enter. I will further submit to the meeting the code of laws recently drawn up by the T. 8. C. regulating future matches for the Championship of the Thames. As my object in convening this meeting is an earnest desire to promote the welfare of the professional rowing men, by inviting discussion upon points con- nected with the National Regatta, I fully trust that a strong mus- ter will support me. At the same time, in order that the meeting shall be strictly confined to the objects I have in view, I hope that none but those interested will attend.— Yours, & c, HENEY CLEMENT SMITH, Hon Bee. 15, St Leonard's- terrace, Maida- hill West, May 14. LONDON ROWING CLUB. CLIFFORD SCULLS.— The race for the prize annually presented by Mr Charles Clifford for competition among the members of this club was rowed on Saturday, May 9, in four heats, all from Putney to Hammersmith, and was accompanied by the Rifleman, with a tidy sprinkling of spectators. FIRST HEAT. T. Hale. ( Middlesex station) 11 J. Owen ( Surrey) 0 W. H. Lowe ( centre j 0 | Owen had the best of the start, but did not retain his advantage long, and was passed first by Hale and then by Lowe, the former going into first place at the Duke's Head. Soon afterwards Owen went up again, but nearly fouled a barge opposite the club house, and having merely entered to make up the number, soon after- wards gave up. Meanwhile Lowe had the lead, but was never safe, and a desperate race occurred between him and Hale, in the course of which they nearly fouled twice. At length when pass- ing the Point Hale acquired the lead, and increasing this was clear at Craven ; a capital race still went on between them to the Crab Tree, but here Mr Hale increased his lead materially, and won easily. SECOND HEAT. II. N. Custance ( Surrey station) 11 C. E. Innes ( centre) dr G. T. Wawn ( Middlesex) 0 | The last- named gentleman was absent through illness. In this heat Mr Custance began to leave his opponent before they had rowed 50 yards, and had cleared himself at the London Boat- house. Won easily. THIRD HEAT. G. Ryan ( Surrey station) .. 11 J. P. Davis ( centre) 0 G. D. Lister ( Middlesex) .. 0 | A very fine start was succeeded by Davis taking the lead, which he gradually increased to half a length or more at the Star and Garter, where Lister, who had started badly, was well astern. Mr Ryan now began to spurt up, when a barge lay in his way, driving him out considerably, and this throwing him out he fell behind Davis at Simrnons's; meanwhile Lister, unobserved, had come creeping up the Fulham shore, and Ryan putting on a spurt they all came as level asatstartingoppositethe boat house, making a very pretty sight. This continued till they were well beyond Bishop's Creek, when Mr Davis, who, like Mr Owen, had only entered to make sport, began to fall astern, leaving Ryan and Lister to have a ding- dong race, which they kept up with un- abated vigour till beyond Craven Cottage, first one and then the other obtaining the lead. Here Ryan put on a spurt and seemed going away, but Mr Lister collared him again, and they continued level to the Crab Tree. At this point they were rowing side by side, both evidently beaten, and it only seemed a question who should get his second wind first. At length Ryan dashed away, and soon clearing himself, led by a length at the Soap Works, and won b}' two lengths, Lister pulling up towards the end. FINAL HEAT. H. N. Custanee( Middlesexstatioii 1 IT. Hale ( Surrey) 0 G. Ryan ( centre) 0 | Mr Custance was backed at any odds to win this heat, and the manner in which he left his opponents fully justified anything being laid on him. He went off with so brilliant a burst that he was right clear away at the boat house, and ever afterwards had nothing to do but to watch the fun between the others. Hale made a very bad start, owing to slipping his button, and this gave Ryan a good lead of him, which he held to Simmons's. Here Ryan, pulling his left hand too much, came right across Hale, when they were close together, and then nearly ran into the objectionable barge. This gave Hale an advantage, which he was not slow to possess himself of, and coming up over his opponent's quarters, a splendid race occurred between them past the London Boat House. While thus engaged, however, Mr Hale slipped his scull again, and fell quite two lengths behind. This gap he gradually lessened, and at the Point was close on his antagonist's quarter again. Long before this, however, both had been pulling as wildly as possible; consequently, as they neared Craven, they were nearly level, still rowing a desperate race, but very wide. Here Ryan caught a slight crab with his right hand scull, and Hale going a little in front it seemed all over ; but directly after- wards Ryan put on a fine spurt, and this most, exciting contest went on to beyond the Crab Tree, both men pulling all over the river, and Custance looking on 100 yards above them. Ryan pre- sently got away with a lead of a length, and Hale steering full towards the Middlesex shore, it was evident that Ryan's en- durance had again triumphed. At the Soap Works he led Hale by two lengths, and came in about four ahead of him ; Custance winning by about the same. Mr Ireland was umpire and Mr F. Playford starter. The members of the club dined in the evening at Mrs Baker's, Star and Garter, when Mr F. Playford presented the prize on behalf of Mr Clifford, whose ill health kept him away. In doing this Mr F. Playford dwelt upon the easy manner in which Mr Custance had won the cup, and hoped the fact of his winning this might induce him to aim at acquiring greater re- nown as a sculler, both at Henley and elsewhere. The speaker also adverted to the extremely plucky race between Messrs Ryan and Hale, and hoped one of them would win the prize next year LONDON AMATEUR ROWING CLUB. The members of this club opened their season with a race in pair- oared gigs on Saturday, May 10, from Putney to Hammer- smith, the following crews having entered, viz :— I. H. Williams 11. J. H. Lee 11. II. Robinson 2. T. VV. Charles I 2. J. Becker 2. A. IIerron A. W. Hill ( cox) I C. A. Rose ( cox) | GJ Flaxman ( cox) MrHerron did not put in an appearance, consequently the race was started without the last- named pair. Mr Chapman, the hon sec, having been appointed umpire, the boats got off evenly, but immediately afterwards Lee and Becker obtained the lead, and increased it to nearly a length, holding their advantage till they had passed the Point. Here Williams and partner began to collar them, and soon afterwards overlapped, when thej' came into col- lision, owing to Lee and Becker endeavouring to maintain their lead. At Craven Williams and Charles were well in front, and so they remained, winning, after a close race, by nearly two lengths clear. THAMES ROWING CLUB. The first race of the season will be rowed in four- oared out- rigged gigs on Saturday, May 23, at five p. m., from Putney to Hammersmith. The entries, stations, & c, are as follow :— FIRST HEAT. 1. Trinity 2. Balliol \ 3. Brasenose J 4. Magdalene 5. Christ Church"! 6. University J 14. St Edmund Hall 15. Jesus 16. Lincoln 17. Worcester 18. Magdalene Hall 14. St Edmund I . 15. Jesus - 16.

Queen's/ The number of crews exceeded that of previous years, and gives evidence of the increasing popularity of aquatics at Oxford Uni- versity. The weather, although rough, did not much interfere with the attendance of spectators, which was nearly as large as ever. University, the favourite crew of the past week, bore out the judgment of the public by bumping Christ Church, after a hard race, at Saunders's Bridge ; and Brasenose, another crew much fancied, made an example of Balliol near the Cherwell, although in the early part of the race a bump was not thought of. Merton displaced Wadham at the Willows, and Queen's vanquished Oriel at the Gut. Trinity held the lead manfully, but from the way in which Balliol cut up, the question of their safety until another race or two has taken place is a matter of speculation. THURSDAY, MAY 14. 1.

Exeter J The weather this evening was again very unfavourable, rain falling throughout the races. Trinity removed all doubts of their supremacy by keeping their full distance ahead of Brasenose. Magdalene gained on Balliol, and University lessened their dis- tance on Magdalene. Exeter caught Christ Church just past the Cherwell, after a determined race, and Corpus would have bumped Wadham but for the bad steering of the former. St Edmund Hall gained on Oriel. AQUATICS AT ETON. ~ DAMES v TUTOES.— This race was rowed over the usual course from below locks to Windsor Bridge, on May 8. For the few pre- ceding days there had been great excitement about the race, for though Dames were decidedly the favourites, yet' as Tutors had won the toss a good race was expected. Tutors having Eton Side were enabled to get off very fast on account of the stream, and soon cleared their length; Dames were rather bothered by the weeds about Rushes, but getting clear and row- ing steadier they began to decrease the distance between the two boats, and having the inside turn at Upper Hope they became level. Here by a well answered spurt Dames wrested the lead from Tutors, and cleared their lerigth. They kept the lead to the end, and finally won by a length and and a half, notwithstanding the plucky spurt of Tutors towards the finish. Tutors rowed a gallant stern race all through, but could not pull off the race, Dames evidently being the stronger crew. In Tutors' crew the rowing of Messrs Pochin and Rickards was much admired, as also that of Mr Cockran in Dames' crew. Time, 9min 48sec. The fol- lowing were the crews:— DAMES. 1. R. L. Tooth 2. A.

JUNIOK FOUR - OARED RACES.— The undermentioned crews have been some time in practice for these races, which came off on Saturday, May 9. The crews, who, with the exception of their strokes, were composed of junior members who have joined this year and last, were somewhat retarded in their practice by bad weather ; nevertheless, under the tuition of older members, they displayed considerable promise of future excellency. FIRST HEAT. 1. H. R. Robertson 2. J. F. Warden 3. G. Milns 4. F. Crossley W. Richnrdson ( cox). 1. G. Cunliffe 2. J. W. Ilenshall 3. R. Beaver 4. 1>. A. Oldfleld R. Schofleld ( cox) Mr Crossley making a capital start, at once led by a length, and his opponents never being able to regain any of the lost ground, he won easily by s » mewhat over a clear length. FINAL HEAT. 1. II. R. Robertson I 1. A. L. Adams 2. J. F. Warden 2. E. Eccles 3. G. Milns | 3. R. Beaver 4. F. Crossley | 4. T. J. Jackson W. Richardson ( cox) | A. Richardson ( cox) In this the winner of the former heat, after an hour's rest, ha< i to contend against a fresh crew, in spite of which their steady even rowing made them the favourites. Mr Crossley, with the best station, again got a lead at starting, and this by steady hard rowing he kept until half the course was over. Mr Jackson's crew, who had up to this been rowing rather wild, were now getting settled down to their work, and gradually collaring their opponents, won a very exciting race by their length clear. MR OSWIN'S CREW. ( Middlesex station.) W. Parker J. Moore J. Hodder T. Oswiu J. Catty ( cox) SECOND MR RADMALL'S CREW. ( Middlesex station.) A. Witten A. Elphlnstone R. Holman T. Kadmall W. E. S.

WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB- The following is a list of the crews who will contend in the four- oared trial race of the above club on Tuesday, May 19:— HENLEY- ON THAMES ROYAL REGATTA. ALTERATION OF THE DAY.— TO meet the wishes of both Uni- versities, and in order that Henley Regatta should not clash with their cricket match at Lord's,- it has been thought necessary by the stewards that the days should be changed to Thursday and Friday, June 25 and 26. DURHAM RE " 3 ATT A, These annual sports are fixed to take place on the 15th and 16th of next month. Hitherto the regatta has been got up and managed by the members of the university, and has always been a most fashionable gathering, being quite a gala day for the gentry of tl » e county, by whom it is liberally supported. The university being somewhat on the decrease, and there being so few oarsmen amongst the present students, it has been thought desirable to hand over the management to a committe of gentle- men belonging to the town, consisting of Messrs W. L. Wharton, Captain W. G. Wooler, J. Booth, and others interested in aquatic pursuits. The prize list has not yet been published, but we under- stand that'it will be quite equal, if not superior to its predecessors, and capital sport will be the result. Boating pursuits in Durham are very much on the increase. A sew club, styling itself " The City of Durham Rowing Club," which numbers upwards of fifty members, are very busy on the water, and seem to be making good use of their time. Several other crews belonging to the city are also in active training, the crew known as the " Newby's/' looking formidable. Mr John Clasper, son of the renowned Harry Clasper, who has on two or three occasions proved his abilities on the Thames, has taken up his abode in Durham. He has succeeded to the boathouse occupied by the late Mr Ebdy, and having a number of pleasure and other boats, which appear to be in almost constant use, the Wear, with the crews belonging to the City of Durham, Durham Amateur, and Durham Grammar SchoolClubs, is quite alive every evening. Several amateur crews are coming from a distance • to contend for the Challenge Cup; and there are certain to be, as usual, several crews for the open prizes from the banks of the Tyne, although the race between Chambers and Green, which takes place on the same day, will draw many away, and among those will be numbered the Clasper's crew, of which Chambers forms one, who have always attended the re- gatta, and invariably carried off the principal prizes. MR COLLINS'S Mr HACKER'S CHEW. CKEW. 1. G. Pauley 1. W. Shephard 2. E. Howard 2. G. Kerrldge 3. A. Smith 3. A. D. Houseman 4. C. Collins 4. C. A. Hacker R. Niblett( cox) E. T. Embleton ( cox). A steamboat has been chartered by the ciub to accompany the race, starting from Cadogan Pier, Chelsea, at a quarter to five p. m. The race will start from Chiswick Eyot at six o'clock pre- cisely, and tickets for the steamboat can be had by early applica- tion to the secretary and other officers of the club. The captain of the club will act as umpire and starter. MR DEWAIl'S CREW. 1. G. D. Lister 2. T. Parry 3. F. Drake 4. B. Dewar J. C. Cockerell |( cox) ARIEL ROWING CLUB. The members of this club rowed their second race this season on Saturday, May 9, from Putney to Hammersmith, in pair- oared gigs, the heats coming off as follows, and being accompanied by the Corsair Rowing Club four, Mr Kearns, the Captain, offi- ciating as umpire:— FIRST HEAT. Tatham and Roney, Bloxam ( cox) l Huggins and C. Fisher, Westell ( cox) 2 Austin aud Glendinning, Seare ( cox) o At the first stroke Glendinning, who had the centre station, bent his outrigger, which put him out of the race; Roney, who had the best place, came away with the lead, and held it all the way, the others not exerting themselves, as two pairs were taken for the final heat :— SECOND HEAT. Bardo and F. Fisher, Marshall ( cox) walked over FINAL HEAT. Tatham and Roney ( centre station) l Huggins and C. Fisher ( Middlesex) o Bardo and F. Fisher ( Surrey) o They started evenly at a very good pace, and kept together to the London Boat House. Here Huggins and Fisher took the lead, and held it to the Point. Roney and partner then putting on a fine spurt drew level with the leading pair, and at Craven led well, winning easily. Bardo and Fisher gave up early IH the race, owing to an accident to their boat. CORSAIR ROWING CLUB. Four of the members of this club rowed a private match in pair- oared outrigged boats on Tuesday evening, May 12, over the usual short course, Putney to Hammersmith, and, after a capital race, came in as follows: — SURREY STATION— F. Rivi& re and C. J. Price l MIDDLESEX STATION— E. Renault and J. C. Kearns 0 Kearns and partner started with a slight lead, but opposite Sim- mons's their opponents had drawn themselves level, and a capital race ensued up to, and some distance past, the Point; here Riviere, thinking a spurt necessary, pulled his man into the bank, giving the other pair a slight advantage, but Mr Renault was becoming exhausted, and, after several game efforts to keep the pride of place, the losing pair were obliged to succumb. Some consider- able interest was shown in the race in consequence of a man in each boat claiming French origin, and being leading men in their own club, or Societe det Bameurs, and their having come over here for the purpose of getting any useful ideas they could. The race was kindly umpired by Mr G. Drayson, treasurer, in a club four. We understand that next year there is a possibility of a French four appearing on the Thames against a boat of their friends, the Corsairs. NAUTILUS ROWING CLUB. The members of this club rowed a four- oared race on Saturday, May 9, from Putney to Hammersmith, the following crews con- tending :— MR DICKENS^ CREW 11 MR RICHARDSON'S CREW 0 MR DICKENS'S. I MR RICHARDSON'S. 1. H. Crickett l. j. c. Doran 2. J. L. Ridpath | 2. W. K. Shentonj 3. J. Brown I 3 F. Thomas 4. C. Dickens, jun 4. F. Richardson G. Lawton ( cox) | W. Todd ( cox) Mr Ireland acted as umpire on board the London Rowing Club steamer. Richardson's crew made a very bad start, and never thoroughly recovered it, Dickens's party going right away, and winning easily. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY ROWING CLUB. CHALLENGE CUPS.— On Saturday, May 9, the fifth race for these cups took place, and the result, as will be seen, is that they must be rowed for yet again before they cease to be a bone of contention to the crews of the D. U. R. C. They will be richly earned by the fortunate crew who do ultimately secure them, as they have to be won three times. At present there are two crews ( the two who rowed on Saturday, May 9), who each score two wins. Their names and weights were as follow:— MR COLLINS'S CREW ( white and cherry) I MR FARRAN'S CREW ( white and blue) o MR COLLINS'S CREW. st lb R. K. Knox 11 1 A. Bushe 11 3 B. Shew 11 2 J. M. Collins R. Beaumont .10 0 MR FARRAN'S CREW. st lb R. Carew 9 3 E. Kough 11 9 F. Harma 11 9£ G. Farran 9 7 J. La Touche Betting on the race was at evens, Mr Collins's crew having wen the last race by only a few feet, while Mr Farran had won the two previous ones in succession. There was an immense assemblage on the Pigeon House road, and they were repaid for the annoy- ance of a smart shower, which fell at about the time of starting, by seeing an excellent race. White and Cherry were quickest at beginning, and in the first hundred yards had their boat nearly clear, but by this time Blue were rightly on their mettle, and Mr Farran setting his crew an amazingly rapid stroke, they soon recovered the lost ground, or rather water, and a most exciting struggle, oar and oar, took place for a good half mile, after which the cherry flag was seen to gain, inch by inch, and foot by foot, until at length the requisite " clear water" was gained, and Mr Beaumont was prompt in taking advantage of it, giving the others plenty of wash, and taking the turn very closely and well, Mr La Touche following in his very wake, with his boat's stem within a foot of the other's rudder; after this, however, Mr Collin's crew increased their lead gradually, and ultimately won rather easily by about three boats' lengths. The winners had CLYDESDALE AMATEUR ROWING CLUB. The annual scullers race, confined to members of the club, was rowed on Friday, May 8, and witnessed by a good concourse of spectators. The prizes were two very handsome pins, the gift of J. Turnbull, Esq. There were five entries for the race, but in consequence of the present inequality of the competitors it was resolved to row it under handicap. They were, accordingly, placed as follows:— Mr Lindsaj' at scratch, Mr Roger 3 boats' lengths start, Mr Allan 3, MrRankine4, Mr Smith 5j. In the first, heat Messrs Allan, Lindsay, and Rankine competed, and a good race for a quarter of a mile ensued ; but here Mr Rankine's want of training told against him, and he was gradually distanced by the other two competitors, who finished in the relative posi- tions in which they started. The second heat brought Messrs Smith and Roger to the post, the latter giving the former two boats' lengths and a half start. After a good start they rowed so equally that no difference was perceptible in their positions until half a mile was covered, when Mr Smith, steering badly, was overhauled by Mr Roger. In a short time they were again dead level—" Greek had met Greek "— and a fine struggle ensued to the finish, ending in favour of Mr Roger by a yard. In the final heat Messrs Allan, Roger, and Lindsay competed, but owing to the great exertions of Mr Roger in the previous heat he was distanced by Mr Lindsay early in the race; in another 200 yards Mr Lind- say had overtaken Mr Allan, and from this point to the finish there was no change in the positions of the boats, Mr Lindsay being first, Mr Allan second, and Mr Roger last. CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE ORWELL. This event has been decided for 1863. The contest was com- menced on Saturday, May 9, and was concluded on Monday even- ing. It was decided to row for the championship in heats. In consequence of three of the rowing clubs formed at Ipswich ob- jecting to the boat held by the Nautilus Club, the Nautilus ac- cepted the loan of a boat named the Sylph, owned by the Orwell Club. The start in the first heat was announced to take place at four p. m. on Saturday, and the promenade and other places of observation were crowded with persons eager to witness the match. The two first crews took their places punctually at the appointed time as follows:— Curlew, Orwell Works Rowing Club ( dark blue and white) : E. L. Ransome lOst 131b, A. Long lOst 121b, J. M. Ransome list 91b, J. S. Symonds lOst 21b, I. Ma- nistre 9st 51b ( cox). Sylph, borrowed by Nautilus Rowing Club ( mauve) : A. Blogg9st4lb, E. Packard lOst 21b, T. Notcutt 9stl21b, A. Smith lOst 31b, H. Packard 7st 121b ( cox). After an excellent start the Nautilus crew went slightly ahead at first, but they were soon overhauled by the Curlew men, whose boat obtained a lead of about three- quarters of a length. They maintained this advan- tage for some little distance, and on passing Hog Highland had a clear lead. They continued to go gradually further and further ahead, and when they rounded the Black Ooze were leading by five or six lengths. Not satisfied with this advantage, they still rowed steadily on, and although when opposite the Halifax the Nautilus crew put on a gallant spurt, the position of the Curlew was unassailable, and she came in, ten lengths ahead. Time about 25min 15sec. The second heat was rowed at five p. m., the follow- ing crews starting:— Sylph, Orwell RowingCluh ( red and white): R. Bruce Sst 101b, H. Robinson 10st lib, W. P. Davis 9stSlb, B. V. Head 9st 71b, J. C. Marshall 7stl21b ( cox). Why Not. Petrel Row- ing Club ( light blue): R. Pearce 8st 21b, J. J. Head 9st 131b, A. W. Tracy lOst 121b, W. J. King lOst 41b, W. P. Ditcham 8st 91b ( cox). A capital start was effected; the Why Not led slightly at first, but her crew soon lost their advantage, and the Sylph took and maintained the lead, steadily leaving the Why Not astern, until at the Black Ooze she was from six to eight lengths in advance. The relative positions of the boats were not materially changed for the remainder of the distance; towards the close the Sylph crew put on a splendid spurt, and won by eight lengths. Time, 25min 35sec. 8o matters stood at the close of the row- ing on Saturday evening. On Monday evening the final heat came off between the Curlew and the Sylph, which were again manned as before. The start took place at 6: 30 p. m., and the Curlew led throughout, and won by several lengths. Time, 26min ( the Sylph came in lOsec later). It should be observed, as the weights will indicate, that the crew of the Sylph were much younger than their opponents. The championship of the river for 1862- 3 was held by the Orwell Rowing Club, but the coveted honour has now passed out of their hands, and will be held for 1863- 4 by the Orwell Works Rowing Club. The name of the winning club explains its origin; it has arisen out of the great agricultural implement establishment of Messrs Ransome and Sons, known throughout Europe as the Orwell Works. The con- test, although conducted keenly, was carried on throughout with perfect good humour, and by way of a wind- up the four crews supped together in the evening at the Ship Launch. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— The steam yacht Folie, of Angers, be- longing to M de Mieulle of Angers, which ascended the Loire and Seine to Paris ( as reported last week), having the Favourite, M Gilbert, of Angers, in tow, arrived at Argenteuil in due course, and has been at anchor there during the last few days. She has excited much admiration among the Parisian amateurs, as well for her fine lines as for her elegant and comfortable fit- tings. After the match at Argenteuil on May 10, a select party were invited on board to drink bumpers of foaming Anjou to the union consummated between the aquatic cercles of Angers and Paris. The match, of which it is time to speak, passed off in an encouraging fashion, eight competitors appearing to contest the prizes offered. There was a nice fresh breeze from the north, which enabled the yachts to traverse the basin three times, alto- gether a distance of twelve miles and a half, in less than two hours, and there was only a difference of ten minutes between the first and last boat. The start took place at 1: 30: 0, and the yachts were timed as follows at the close:— Temps, M Carpentier, 3: 15: 0; Etin- celle, M Rey, 3: 17: 0; Alliance, M Dassy, 3: 18: 0; Petrel, M More, 3: 19: 30; Tintamarre, M Ingelet, 3: 22: 0; Favourite, M Gilbert ( of Angers), 3: 22: 15; Rouennais, M Godefroy ( of Rouen), 3: 25: 0; Parisien, belonging to the society of the same name, carried away a shroud before the match, and could not make good her damage in time. The largest of these yachts, which were all built for river purposes, is the Rouennais, which is 33ft 4in in length. The Rouennais did not yield the results anticipated on this, her first appearance; but it was stated that she was not properly ballasted, and that the trial must not be regarded as a conclusive criterion of her merits or demerits. The Favorite, of Angers, was also rather unfortunate, having carried away a shroud during the first round, although she continued the match. A match which is to take place May 31 for a prize offered to the largest river yachts by M Furne, will again bring into competition the yachts which figured in the " engagement" just described. It is expected that by the latter date also a new yacht will be ready, which is now in course of construction| for Mr J. Arthur at Argenteuil, under the direcx of Mr Van Hagemen, an American engineer. This new yachiv- being built on the flat- bottomed principle. On May 17 a mat will take place at Argenteuil for medium- sized yachts; and match which should have been disposed of April 19, and which was annulled by want of wind, has been re- fixed for June 14. May 17 will also witness a series of matches at Bordeaux, at which the local amateurs expect to welcome several distant competitors, especially the Leman and Petrel, which proved victorious in last year's matches, and which now gracefully offer the Bordelais a chance of revenge. Among other French aquatic fixtures we may note the following:— Dieppe Regatta, Aug 2; Rouen Regatta Aug 15; Havre Regatta, Aug 23; Quillebeuf Regatta, Aug 30; and Fecamp Regatta, Sept 6. SOUTHAMPTON AMATEUR REGATTA CLUB.— The opening match of this club came off on May 11 and 12, but owing to the very unfavourable state of the weather the final heat was postponed until Tuesday, the 26th, when the afternoon tides will be again suitable. The prize was a silver goblet, to be rowed for in heats. The first heat to start at five o'clock, and the second at six. The final heat to take place on the following evening. There were no less than eight entries for the goblet— viz, for the first heat:— Messrs Williams, Shergold, Yon, and Cross; and in the second, Messrs Beaton, Webster, Bartlett, and Harold. Many of them had been in training for some weeks past, and considerable excitement prevailed among their respective friends and backers. The first heat was started at 5: 35. The course was from the flag beacons off the club room, thence to the rifle butts at Milbrook and back, a distance of three and a half or four miles. Mr Cross did not put in an appearance, and the first heat was left to Messrs Williams, Shergold, and Yon. Yon teok the lead, but in was soon evident that the match would be between the other two, who kept well together throughout the course. Shergold eventually got the lead, and was the first to round the northern mark, closely followed by Williams, and in this manner they arrived at 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, MAY 10, 1863. the goal. Shergold was declared the victor by 30 seconds over Williams; Yon gave up the match, and rowed in about 10 minutes afterwards. This heat was performed in 35 minutes. Half of the course was against a strong south- wester. At 6: 45 the second heat was started. Mr Harold withdrew, and the match was left between Beaton, Webster, and Bartlett. Webster, after a few strokes, drew out, and kept a straight course in company with Bartlett; Beaton went away to leeward, and was soon hors de combat. About 7: 5 the other two rounded; Webster about a couple of minutes in ad- vance of Bartlett. After a most animating race of 40 minutes, pursued under difficulties, Webster reached the goal two minutes ahead of Bartlett. Beaton subsequently returned leisurely. The goblet had now to be competed for by Messrs Shergold and Web- ster, but owing to the weather, it was postponed, as before stated. YACHTING INTELLIGENCE.— The following yachts are fitting out in the Itchen river:— Schooner Destiny, Mr Bradshaw; Zouave, Col Nicolls; Octaroon, C. long, Esq ( has just been cop- pered); Phosphorus, W. Turner, Esq ( about to sail for the Thames); Yandetta ( formerly Ruby Queen), Capt Jackson. The cutter Turquoise has been sold by piecemeal out of the service.

EIGHT BETWEEN MICKEY GANNON AND JOE BALDOCK, FOR £ 50 A SIDE. There has certainly needed something in the shape of an exciting tourney to give a philippic to the doings of the P. R. during the present season, as there has been, as regards actual milling, but little to occupy the attention of the London Fancy- The passage of arms between the above worthies, which was the first contest of any moment since the meeting between Jack Drew and Aaron Moses ( alias Young Dutch Sam; on the 17th March, was therefore a very welcome treat to the Ring- going fraternity, and produced a much greater amount of interest than was to be ex- pected from the very little that had been achieved by the bellige" rents as active operators, Baldock, in fact, until the 9th of April in the preceding year, being an untried man, never having fought within the ropes. On that day he met J. Brookes, for £ 25 a side, whom he disposed of in 74 rounds, 130 minutes. Baldock is not yet quite 22, stands 5ft gjin, and was backed by the renowned Jemmy Shaw. Gannon, who is a sprig of the Emerald Isle, made his debut in the Ring on April 2, 1861, when he beat Jack Haley, for £ 25 a side, in 25 rounds, 45 minutes. Mickey's next appearance was on Tuesday, the 29th of April, 1862, when he defeated Jesse Hatton in 63 minutes, there having been thirty- two spirited rounds fought. Mickey, who stands 5ft 7in, is now in his 22d year, and was backed from Mr W. Richardson's. The combatants were con- fined to 9st 10lb, and the weighing took place at Mr Richardson's. Both were within the mark, and it must have been extremely satisfactory to the friends of Mickey to find that their man came well through this ordeal, for it had been rumoured early during thepreeeding week that the Irish lad was by no means to weight, and it became necessary for Richardson to pay a visit to his train- ing- quarters for the purpose of putting matters right. By those at the " helm" the requisite arrangements had been made, and for once we have the satisfaction to state the tourney was fought without the slightest interruption. Baldock had for his seconds Bob Travers and Patsy Reardon, Bos Tyler and George Crockett being retained for Gannon, who won the toss for corners. Bal- dock, just before he received the finishing touch, crossed the ring to Gannon's corner and offered to lay £ 10 or £ 20 even on the result, but Mickey was obliged to decline, stating that from the low state of his exchequer he was not in a position to accommo- date him. The fact is, however, that there was no lack of money behind Gannon, but the " firm" were by no means disposed to back him, as he was far from being in proper condition. The colours, instead of being tied to the stake, were given into the pos- session of the referee, and all being in readiness the men advanced from their corners, and at thirty minutes past eight o'clock were left to commence THE FIGHT. Round 1. Baldock had the advantage in height, and although he unquestionably presented a fine wiry frame, and had all the appearance of a strong, well- knit, powerful young fellow, yet there was just a shade of contraction across the " beam" that caused him to bring his shoulders a little too round. Gannon, who is fair- skinned, is decidedly a remarkably fine, well- proportioned lad, possessing a deep set and well- developed chest, but at a glance it was to be seen that he was not in anything like the same fettle as liis antagonist. Both men stood well, Mickey having the props brought a little higher up than is usually noticeable. Still there was all the requisite freedom in his movements that proved his attitude was easy and unconstrained. Baldock had the mawleys a shade lower, and from his bearing there could be no disputing that the instructions of the talented professors under whom he had gra- duated had by no means been thrown away. The lads having drawn out from the scratch, shifted until they got to Mickey's'side of the ring, when in the manoeuvring there really were some pretty points demonstrated. Joe feinted with the left to get in, but Gannon had the right cross guard drawn well up on the instant, so that Baldock found it wasjno use to let it go. The men changed ground here and there, until at length they paused. The seconds of Mickey properly called the attention of the referee to the state of Joe's mawleys, which were covered withresin, and he was made to retire to his corner and have them sponged. Matters having thus been put right the combatants once more came together, and after more sparring, Mickey delivered the left on the right cheek. As he drew out to get from his antagonist Baldock followed, and in a rapid exchange delivered the right on the top part of the knowledge box, when Mickey falling on the left knee got down in the middle of the ring. 2. There were several rapid variations made as the belligerents manoeuvred, Gannon, however, in breaking ground, evincing the same peculiarity we noticed in his match with the " bold Jesse" of always travelling back to the old spot, as though he had a decided predilection for his own side of the ring. Joe in follow- ing his man hemmed Mickey so completely in that he got close up against the ropes, from which he however extricated himself with much quickness and tact before Baldock could put in any of the burnishing powder. The men having again come well within range, Gannon put in another fine left- hander on the right peeper, and as he retreated Joe followed, when Mickey, after receiving one or two smart left- handers at half measure, went down at the ropes in his own corner. 3. Both men on coming from their corners were just sufficiently pinked about the nob to show that the knuckle polish was be- ginning to take effect. Joe, taking the initiative, delivered the left with well- timed action on the kisser. He tried to follow suit with a right- hander— not to measure. As Gannon took fresh ground Joe closed, and in a merry ding- dong fashion the lads fought with both mawleys, Baldock at half- arm getting on the mouth and right cheek with the left, and also delivering on the top of the brain canister with the right; Gannon laying on the " emery" with the left on the smeller, and likewise doing effi- cient duty on the left cheek with the right, and then to avoid the close went down. Blood was claimed for Baldock on the finish of this bout, and there was a slight show of crimson from Rickey's kisser, but as Baldock was likewise bleeding from the nose, the claim could not be allowed. 4. Gannon led off with the left, but Joe put the right arm square stop well up, so that no harm was done. As Mickey drew from ' distance with the back step Joe followed, and fought left and right with much spirit to a close, delivering with great force on the pimple with the right. At the ropes they struggled for the advantage, and fell out of the ring in Mickey's corner. 5. Gannon in lunging out the left at his antagonist's nob hit right over the p ® int of the left shoulder, and then went down. Baldock in dashing out the left also slipped, and fell upon his man in the centre of the ring. 6. Gannon was marked on the chest as though a little of the bark had been chipped off, while both about the nob bore unmis- takable proof ef the striking effect produced by their " revisers." Baldock led off the left and got on the right jaw, and also made use of the right in the front of the dial. Mickey, who countered admirably, planted the left with stinging effect again and again in rapid succession on the front of the dial; nor was he by any means idle with t'other mawley. In the close J oe got his man's nob well pulled in with the right arm lasso, and they went down near Mickey's corner. 7. Baldock went to his adversary to force the fighting, and at it they went in a regular ding- dong fashion, fighting with both mawleys at the head, Joe likewise dropping in a little one on the ribs. Mickey in drawing from his man to take new ground slipped and fell, when Joe, who was following up with much im- petuosity, likewise lost his equilibrium and fell on his uian. 8. Gannon, for the purpose of getting well on his man's dial, raised himself with a half spring from the left foot as in the act of delivery, but did not get on with stinging effect, as distance had not been judged with sufficient accuracy. The men having taken fresh ground, Baldock with a spring from the fore foot dashed out the left and delivered full on the mazzard. After a little sparring they once more got together, and after some left- handed compliments Mickey, who had in the changes got to the ropes, went to grass. 9. Although both men were a good deal marked, still there had been no serious mischief done, but Joe was as fresh as when he entered the list, while Mickey, on the contrary, was panting like a pair of bellows. Joe made an impetuous dash at his antagonist, sending out the left and getting well home on the top of the fore- head. Gannon countered splendidly, sending it well in on the nose and cheek. A pause, and ttoe combatants having gathered them- selves well together fought in a slashing manner left and right to a close, when they went to grass in the middle of the ring. 10. Joe put in a rattler on the chin with the left. Gannon, who countered beautifully, hitting over the partly raised guard, delivered a stinger on the left eye. The men in a merry rally fought with both mawleys to a close, when Mickey whipped in the back heel, and Joe was thrown heavily. 11. Mickey coming up to improve the occasion went to his man, and put in a hot- un with the left. Baldock met him on the milling suit, and in a regular ding dong fashion, left and right, they fought to Mickey's corner, where after some smart fibbing, in which Joe got on a little one with the right on the ribs, they struggled and went down. 12. Mickey delivered a fine left- hander on the right cheek, having the guard well poised for stopping at the same moment. As Gannon drew from nis antagonist Joe followed, and the men fought on the give- and- take system until the Irish lad, who got against the ropes, slipped down. 13. Gannon, as his antagonist came at him with a half spring, went down. Baldock, from the impetuosity of his movements, also lost his equilibrium, and fell over his man. 14. Baldock, who was as strong as at the commencement, went rattling at his man, when Gannon, after receiving from the left, went to grass. Travers made an appeal to the court on behalf of his client, but the point was overruled. 15. Mickey, whose pipes were playing in a most unmistakable manner, led off the left, and getting well over the right guard planted a stinger on the dial. Baldock countered, when Mickey slipped and went down, Joe falling on him. 16. Mickey again led, and sent in a splendid left hander on the nose; in rapid succession he delivered the left on the front of Joe's knowledge box. Baldock, with the most unflinching piuck, stood to his work, and was far from idle. He fought his man left and right, doing duty on the head and left side of the pimple ; and likewise, at half measure, putting a little of the shellac on the ribs. Gannon at length, when near the ropes, got down. 17. Beth men required a deal of " rousing" from the referee. Gannon delivered a fine left- hander full on the mazzard. Joe, who followed his adversary up as he was retreating, dashed out a fine right- hander on the left jaw, and Mickey went down. 18. Mickey home with the left on the tater- trap; as he broke Baldock went dashing at him. After some pretty exchanges at the nob, Joe delivering on the right jaw and forehead, Gannon getting with the left at quarter distance on the mouth and making use of the right on the side of the cranium, they struggled for the fall, and as they went down, Gannon, who was under, had a narrow squeak of hitting his forehead against a basin that had been most improperly left by his attendant in the corner. 19. Baldock opened the attack with a left- hander, not to dis- tance. On again coming together they got well to range, and got home heavily ; in the exchange Gannon with a swinging right- hander hitting his man as he broke from him heavily on the back. Mickey down in the middle of the ring. 20. Gannon put in a pretty left- hander on the mouth, and in their rapid gyration the men got in all parts of the ring. Again and again they came well within range and exchanged heavily, doi » g execution on the front of the dial. At length they closed and fell at the stakes. 21. Gannon's left well on the jaw. Baldock smiled and said " You've got a game- un to- day, Mickey"— a bit of braggadocio that was by no means well received. After some heavy exchanges at the head, Mickey also putting in one on the victualling de- partment, they got to the Irish lad's corner, when he went down. 22. After shifting position the men got to Mickey's corner, when Gannon, after receiving a left- hander on the nob, dashed out the right on the mark, and then went down. The referee cautioned Mickey against a repetition of this conduct. 23. Gannon came up much distressed, but in a fine cross counter delivered the left full on Joe's left cheek, from which there was at once a copious supply of the ruby. The lads fought in a merry fashion left and right at the head, until Mickey got from his man and went down from sheer weakness. 24. Mickey home the left on the nob, when as the Irish lad broke Baldock delivered a swinging right- hander on the know- ledge- box, and Gannon went to grass in his own corner. 25. Gannon delivered a fine left- hander on the nozzle, when as Baldock came dashing at him Mickey slipped and went ta grass. 26. Baldock home a fine left- hander on the side of the head, when Gannon again went down deliberately. The referee again admonished Mickey in a serious manner. 27. 28, 29, and 30. There was little in either of these rounds that needs special comment. The men in the last mentioned countered in a spirited manner, doing execution on the front of the head, when Mickey, who was suffering from physical weak- ness, went down. 31st and last. No sooner had the men come together than Gannon dashed out the left, and then went down, there never having been the least semblance of a blow struck, so that the referee at once awarded the battle to Baldock, the contest having lasted exactly 58 minutes. The decision, apart from the fact of its being a just one, gave the utmost satisfaction to the friends of Gannon, and for once the referee was placed in the extremely novel position of having by a decision been successful in pleasing both sides. REMARKS. That Baldock is a really game man there can ! » e no disputing, and as a fair, manly boxer he is fully entitled to the good opinion of all admirers of a good bit of stuff. Still he did not display anything like the ability we were led to expect, and has a great deal more to learn before he can take an A 1 degree. He is, however, uader the patronage of the right division, and as a game lad, and one who is sure to show in a greatly improved form, he must not be held too cheap. Gannon we never saw fight better; he has improved immensely since the tourney with Hatton, and as will be seen from the above account, he made clever use of his left mawley. He lost this contest solely from his want of condition, and we hope that this will be a caution to him for the future. Some of his admirers have already paid him for his colours the same as if he had won, and he will, doubtless, feel grateful to others who will thus act, as his financial affairs are in an extremely bad condition. The money is to be given to Baldock at W. 8haw's, Queen's Head, Crown- court, Windmill- street, on Thursday next. THE TWO THOUSAND POUNDS MATCH. It must not be forgotten that the backers of Tom King and Jack Heenan have determined to give the veteran, Joe Rowe, a turn for the next deposit in this match.

Jordan's friends at length seeing that he had the lion's share of the punishment, with- out any chance of winning, after 43 rounds in 55 minutes, threw up the sponge.

The Holdens did not appear, and warrants were issued for their apprehension. The other four defendants admitted that they were present, but as it was allowed by the police that they offered no obstruction, but when the officers appeared on the ground broke up the ring, they too, like the principals, were merely bound over to keep the peace for the next six months. WRESTLING. CUMBERLAND AND WESTMORELAND WRESTLING SOCIETY. The customary annual dinner of the members of this old- esta- blished society wa1? held on Thursday evening, May 14, at Mr M'Clures, the Guildhall Shades, in the City. We have witnessed a far stronger " gathering of the clans," but none more respect- able than on this occasion. Mr Frank Bell, the ever- obliging president, occupied the chair, faced by Mr J. Brown. When due justice had been done to the excellent repast provided, the cloth was drawn, and the real business of the evening commenced.— Mr Margetson, the active honorary secretary, handed in his report, which is far too lengthy for our limited space to allow us to in- sert. The document congratulated the members upon the rapidly increasing prosperity of the society, as, in addition to having pre- sented 40 guineas to those dear old charities in " the Two Coun- ties," they yet had a pleasing balance at their bankers; went on to state that since the alteration in collecting the funds 357 guineas had been paid over to the charitable institutions of Cumberland and Westmoreland; advised a, sterling unity in supporting the same for the future; declared certain unhappy differences had been amicably adjusted; and concluded by trusting that the so ciety would continue to be conducted on principles of the strictest integrity, combined with perfect unanimity of feeling.— The re- port was well received, and, upon the motion of Mr James, seconded by Mr J. Hodgson, ordered to be adopted.— Mr Marget- son mentioned that they had a surplus of £ 109 in hand. Mr Weatherell and Mr Thompson received the first and fourth prizes, the others being in abeyance. The usual routine toasts followed.

PEDESTRIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK, GREAT TEN MILES RACE FOE THE CHAMPION'S BELT.— AS announced, the 10 miles race for a massive silver belt valued at 50 guineas, given for competition by Mr J. Baum, took place on Monday, May 11, at the above sporting rendezvous, in presence of about 8,000 spectators, among whom were to be observed all the leading sporting metropolitans. The police were indeiatigable in their exertions, and on the whole with so much order and de- corum were the proceedings carried eut, that throughout the meeting there was nothing in the arrangements that could be possibly found fault with. Among the pugilistic " stars" on the ground we noticed the gallant Tom King, who is matched to con- tend with Heenan for £ 2.000, and, as may be imagined, he became the " observed of all.'' The belt, which became at once the sole property © f the winner, was manufactured by Mr W. Preston, so well known in sporting circles, and a more magnificent trophy never was given for competition. It was placed in a conspicuous position, so, as it lay in its handsome mahogany case, all on the ground had an an opportunity of seeing and admiring it. The circumference of this ground is 260 yards, and the pedestrians had to pass the officials 68 times to accomplish the distance, The course was in superb condition, and in every respect betokened the great care bestowed on it by the proprietor. No similar race has for some period taken place that has produced one tithe of the interest as the one under notice among Turfites, for throughout the preceding week the leading men had been backed to a good tune, the current odds being 2 to 1 agst Lang, 2 to 1 agst Deerfoot, 5 to 2 agst White, and this may be quoted as the state of the betting up to the moment of the start, there being immense eagerness evinced to get on Lang, who by a large majority of the " talents'' was looked on as a certain winner. The well- known Harry Reed acted as official time- teller, while C. Westhall, G. Mar- tin, W. Price, and J. Roberts ( proprietor of the Brompton Gound) also held comparing watches, and acted in a semi- official capacity. The pedestrians spotted on the card as starters were as follows :— Deerfoot the Indian ( scarlet), W. Lang of Middlesborough ( black), E. Mills ( Young England), J. W'hite of Gateshead ( white and blue spot), Stapleton of Staley bridge ( white), Brighton of Nor- wich ( blue), 6. Barker of Billingsgate ( red), Richards. the Welsh- man ( brown), and H. Andrews of Holborn ( green). From this it will be seen that nine had entered, but when the muster roll came to be called there were found to be three who had " knocked out." Stapleton, Brighton, and Mills were ascertained to be non- starters. Mills, who was on the ground, Btating that it was useless for him to think of going, as he was out of condition, but that, after the race, he should be prepared to make a match with the winner for £ 100 a side. The race had been fixed for six o'clock, and some little time after the hour named the pedestrians came on the course, and under the superintendence of W. Price, the M. C., proceeded, amidst the most intense excitement, to take up their position at the mark. Deerfoot did not look in anything like condition, and he was the only one of the " team" who did not ap- pear well up to the mark. There can be no doubt that it is owing to the fact that he cannot be got to pay proper attention to his training that he cut, for a nam of such notoriety, the con- temptible figure he did. The start having been effected, the men bounded off in the most admirable manner, and from the mo- ment the " set'' had got on the move they went bounding over the course at the most tremendous speed. When the competitors came'by the referee for the finish of the first lap they may be said to have been all in a cluster, for certainly the whole field might easily have been covered with a table- cloth. When the men went by the goal for the completion of the second round, Barker was just to the fore, White second, Lang third, Deerfoot next, Richards fifth, and Andrews last. Thus at the same " screaming" pace the pedestrians ran until the finish of the fourth lap, when White was leading, Lang being second, not more than a yard in the rear of the Gateshead clipper. Bar- ker now fell into third position, Deerfoot coming next, while Richards and Andrews, « ho even thus early began to form the tail, brought up the rear. The first mile was accomplished in 4min 40sec, and as the men entered upon the second mile the interest of the match began to be more and more concentrated between White and Lang, who were close together, White, how- ever, just having the advantage of the lead. Two miles were run in 9min 39sec, and as the competitors came rattling along for the " break" in the third mile it became more and more apparent that White and Lang were to have the struggle to themselves. Barker had already received his quietus, and had dropped out from the struggle, so severely had the pace even thus early told on him. Andrews and Richards, who had each in turn been lapped, were also, virtually speaking, out of the match, for although both these men continued running, yet they did so only for the chance of being placed at the finish. Deerfoot was also far in the rear of the two leading men, and fell so much to the bad that while running the third mile, and in the seven- teenth lap, he was passed by White and Lang, so that as he was now a lap behind his chance was entirely settled. On the termi- nation of the third mile ( 14min 36sec) White was still leading, Lang being close in the rear; and now it was found Deerfoot had pulled up, being at the moment he did so nearly a lap and a half to the bad, while Richards was nearly two laps in the rear, and Andrews close upon three. The running of Deerfoot created much astonishment among the spectators, but gave the utmost dissatisfaction, so that the wind up to his career in England, as this was announced to be the last race he would appear in, lias ended in a most miserable failure. Four miles were run in 19min 36sec, five miles 24min 40sec, and the first six miles were accomplished by the two leading men ( White and Lang) in the unprecedented time of 29min 50sec. Andrews was now four laps to the bad, while Richards was not much better off'. A finer specimen of running than that exhibited by White and Lang was never witnessed, and although there was no " ringing in and out," yet the movements of the men were witnessed with intense interest, for the most cursory glance wasisufficient to assure all that both men were doing their utmost. While racing the seventh mile Lang gave the most unequivocal signs of being distressed, and in the forty- seventh lap this being noticed by one of White's friends, he gave him the office to " put it on." White, in response to this advice, made a fine spurt, and went right away from his oppo- nent, Lang in the following round being so beaten off that he pulled up, and had to be led off the ground, the seven miles having been completed in 34min 45sec. White now being in un- disputed possession of the field went rattling on amidst the most deafening cheers, and completed the whole of the distance in 52min 14sec. Richards, who was three laps in the rear of the Gateshead clipper, gained the second prize of £ 5, Andrews being third. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. SALT AND BOWER.— These pedestrians attended J. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, on Saturday, May 9, to run 100 yards, for £ 10 a side, Bower receiving five yards. The odds were 5 to 4 on Salt, and a good deal of spirited betting took place, the partisans of both being confident. J. Pudney, the M. C. of this ground, was chosen to officiate as referee; and all the pre- liminaries being adjusted, the competitors came to the mark, when Bower was placed the given distance in advance. The pe- destrians had to go by mutual consent, and after some few at- tempts they got off on the most even terms. Bait gave unmis- takable proof that he had a fine turn of speed, for from the commencement he gained gradually on his opponent, and having as they neared the goal closed up the gap between them, came to the front, and went in the winner of a well- contested race by a yard. DULLIEU AND RAY OF LIMEHOUSE.— On Monday, May 11, these pedestrians attended here to run five miles, for £ 5 a side, there being present a tidy muster, considering the superior attrac- tion of the race for the Ten Miles Champion's Belt at Hackney Wick. The betting was 5 to 4 on Ray, and the preliminaries having been adj usted, the pedestrians came to the mark soon after six o'clock. From the start the lead was taken by Ray, who went away at a good pace, and during the performance of the first, second, third, and fourth mile there were several changes in the position of the competitors, the lead now being in favour of one and then the other. When, however, the men began the fifth and last mile, Dullieu finally assumed the advantage of position, which, notwithstanding the efforts of Ray, he maintained to the finish, and went in a fine winner by some five or six yards. Time, 28 minutes. The winner can have the stakes at our office on Thursday, May 21, at twelve o'clock. WHITE AND STERLING.— On Thursday, May 14, these men met here to walk one mile, for £ 5 a side, J. Pudney of Mile End acting as referee. On starting the lead was t^ aken by White, which he kept all through, and went in a fine Winner, the mile being covered in 8min 32sec, both men walking with the utmost fairness. PEDESTRIANISM AT BROMPTON. TUCK OF FAKENHAM AND J. BRIGHTON OF NORWICH.— On Saturday, May 9, these pedestrians met on J. Roberts's enclosed ground to run three quarters of a mile, for £ 25 a side, there being present a good muster of the respective admirers of the men. This course is 440 yards in circumference, so that the competitors had to run three laps to accomplish the distance. In betting Tuck was the favourite, but there was little or no money specu- lated on the result. Mr J. Roberts, the proprietor, was chosen referee, and all the preparatory matters being satisfactorily ar- ranged, the competitors came to the mark, both looking in ex- cellent fettle. As is the customary practice here, the pedestrians agreed to run to the right of the ground, and on the signal being given they went off on the most even terms, there not being the least advantage obtained on the part of either in making the " break." As the men came rattling on the lead was taken by Tuck, but so well was the Norwich clipper running in the rear that there was at most not more than a yard and a half between them, and in this position they came by the referee for the completion of the first lap. While racing the second round ( half mile), Brighton, after putting on a fine spurt, closed on his man and came to the fore; but although he did his utmost, he could not succeed in gaining any decided advantage, for so well did Tuck stick to his work that he ran close up in the rear, so that Brighton was totally unable to get away from him. The struggle on the part of both continued to be magnificently con- tested, but as the competitors came dashing along in the third and last lap, Tuck was seen to be once more in advance, although his competitor was so well on his quarters that at most there was not more than a yard between them. As they drew near the goal Brighton made the most strenuous efforts to wrest the lead from his opponent, but without success, for Tuck maintained the superiority to the finish, and, according to the fiat of the referee, went in a winner by three- quarters of a yard. MATCH AGAINST TIME AT CHELMSFORD. — On Saturday evening. May 9, a private in the West Essex Militia, named Major Andrews, a native of Braintree, who is well known as an amateur pedestrian, undertook to run six miles in 36 minutes, the course being a mile in and a mile out on the new London- road. A great number of persons assembled along the route to witness this match, and the distance was accomplished by Andrews in 34 minutes 30 seconds, he appearing at the close almost as fresh as when he started. A GREAT WALKING MATCH AT HACKNEY WICK.— BPOONEE AND HATLEY.— On Monday, May 18, at Mr Baum's noted grounds, adjoining the Victoria Park station, the champion 8pooner meets the supposed " coming man,'' W. Hatley ( the City Nonpareil), in a walking match of four miles, in which the veteran gives the rising star a start of 100 yards. It is now over sixteen years since the Regent- street Pet brought a novice to walk Brookson, which proved to be William Spooner; two years after he became the Champi ® n Walker, which title— and now approaching forty years of age— he still retains. All men have been tried, starts have been given, and yet the Turnham Green hero has " held his own" against all comers. Warily do the friends of Little Hatley pave the way for his eventual triumph, when he reaches the topmost bough. Hatley has beaten the celebrated Miles three times ; and the start that Spooner gives him, it is presumed, will bring both veteran champion and aspirant champion on such a par that a race unprecedented will be the result. Those who have no con- ception of what " Tall Walking'really is should go to Hackney Wick on Monday, May 18, and see the two most celebrated men of the day. The start will take place at half- past six o'clock, by the special wish of the City men ; and that all classes may witness the contest, the admission will be sixpence. We have received the whole of the stakes. Entries for Mr ^ Reading's 100 Yards Handicap, to be run afe High Park, Fenton, on Whit- Tuesday and Wednesday. First prize £ 4, second 15s, third 5s :— J.

GENERAL MEETING. — The members of the Surrey Club mustered in unusual force at the general meeting, which was held previous to the dinner, at the Bridge House Hotel, on Wed- nesday, May 13. There seemed to be a general wish to get an opportunity of saying a kind word to the good- humoured secre- tary before dinner, and on all sides there were cordial congratula- tions to Mr Buri- up that the day had at last arrived when the club were about to recognise his long services, not only to the Surrey Club, but to cricket in general. When the secretary announced that the income of the club was over £ 2,000 per annum, the fact has proved how richly Mr Burrup had earned the thanks of the club, and how thoroughly he deserved the testi- monial, the presentation of which we describe below. The usual routine business was gone through, and the officers for the present year appointed, Mr H. Marshall again kindly accepting the office of president. Previous to the dinner, Mr Gale moved the nine resolutions regarding the Second Club, which appeared in our columns last week, and explained the principles of them. The object is to enable the members of the club, as Mr Gale expressed it, who have not time, money, or ability to play in the grand matches, to meet two afternoons in every week on a piece of good ground, with wickets pitched as for a match, and to practise batting, bowling, and fielding in the same manner as is done in country clubs and on village greens, aud also to make matches with country clubs. The principle of the resolutions was unanimously agreed to ; they were seconded by the secretary, and at the suggestion of the mover were ordered to be printed, and to be sent to every playing member of the club, with an invitation to meet the committee in the pavilion on a day to be named, to arrange further details. ANNUAL DINNER.— The annual dinner then took place in the large hall of the Bridge House Hotel, Mr H. Marshall being in the chair, faced by Messrs F. P. Miller and W. Buriup. Upwards of one hundred gentlemen sat down to the banquet, amongst whom we noticed Messrs Henry Marshall ( president), F. Doulton, M. P.; W. Pontifex, Marshall Pontifex, Henry Pontifex, Major Smith, H. Qrazebrook, John Walker, A. Walker, F. P. Miller, W. Thomas ( auditor), F. Burbidge, A. Burbidge, H. Mor- timer, T. Lambert, E. Napper, T. Napper, F. Gale, W. Mynn, J. Evans, F. W. Oliver, E. Edwards, G. King, E. Garland, H. S. Smyth, E. Dawson, J. Dawson, E. Winser, J. Flemwell. JJ. Ansted, E. Es- tridge, W. E. Elkin. W. Copelaud, J. Simmons, R. O'Neill, & c. The dinner was served in Mr Sidney Spencer's best style, and after the removal of the cloth the chairman gave " The best and most constitutional Sovereign, our Queen." He then gave " The Prince of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family." The prince, he said, was intimately connected with them as landlord of their ground, and he hoped would be still more so by becoming aj patron of the club. The chairman next gave " The Army, Navy, and Volunteers," Major Smith responding for the army. " The Houses of Parliament" was the next toast also from the chair, the speaker contrasting the independence of our Senate with that of some other countries in Europe. Mr F. Doulton, M. P., responded, and quoted the Oval as the best cricket ground in England, the Surrey Club as the greatest cricket club, Mr Burrap as a paragon of secretaries, and the Surrey professionals as the best cricketers. The toast of " The Lord- Lieutenant and Magistrates of the County " followed, after which The CHAIRMAN proposed " Prosperity to the Surrey County Cricket Club,'' whose dimensions all of them were aware of. They had reason, he said, to be very thankful to the general public for the support they had ever tendered them, which support they would not have received had they not persistently pursued one un- deviating course, without turning either to the right or the left, with the sole object of promoting the prosperity of true cricket, and in that course they hoped to continue. It was a strong fact in favour of the club that its receipts during the past year had been no less a sum than £ 2,449 [ cheers]. During the same period they had spent solely for the benefit of cricket £ 2,249, or £ 200 less than their receipts [ renewed cheers]. Such a state of things must meet the approbation of all cricketers. He hoped they would con- tinue to give satisfaction to the public, and that, losing nothing of their prestige, they would go on increasing in prosperity year by year. This toast having been drunk with much enthusiasm, was fol- lowed by " The Health of the Vice- President and Treasurer( Messrs Ponscnby and Hoare)," who both worked hard, the chairman said, for cricket. The CHAIRMAN then said: I need not ask you, gentlemen, to drink in bumpers the toast I am now about to propose, for I am assured that your hearts will go with me in every word I have to say. It is the health of a gentleman to whom this club is in- debted in no ordinary degree for its importance among cricket clubs, and its great success for years past, viz, Mr William Burrup [ loud cheers]. He has been among us many years, and the exertions bestowed by him in promoting the prosperity of the club it is impossible for me to enumerate. You, who know how hard he has worked, and how assiduous he has ever been, know more than I can possibly tell you in that respect. It is unnecessary to dilate upon half his good qualities; suffice it to say, we never can forget them. He has discharged duties which no money could possibly have commanded, and the only thing we can do is to make our acknowledgments to him. I must ask Mr Burrup to walk up to the top of the table, in order that I may present him with this slight token of regard and esteem for him- self and approval of his conduct. Mr Burrup then walked up the room amidst a perfect valley of cheers, and having taken up his position opposite the chair, The CHAIRMAN said : Mr Burrup, you are supposed not to have heard what I have just said, nor will I repeat it, for I will not venture to say what I feel in this matter. We wish to make you some acknowledgment for the kind and valuable services you have rendered us since your connection with the club, and in the name of the Surrey Cricket Club, therefore, I beg to present you with this testimonial [ hear, hear]. It is not supposed to adequately represent our feelings, but we felt it to be a duty we owed you ; and although the testimonial in itself is very small, you will find inside something of some value, viz, no less a sum than £ 300 [ cheers]. Having collected a great deal of money, we felt some difficulty as to how it should be bestowed. We had an idea of presenting you with a large piece of plate, but this not seeming to meet your wishes, we have taken this way of expressing our feeling, and hope you may live many years to enjoy it. The Hon See's health having been drunk in the most enthusiastic manner, Mr BURRUP said: Mr President and Gentlemen— It has often been my privilege on different occasions to receive encomiums at your hands for the manner in which I have endeavoured to con- duct the affairs of this club, but never did I stand before you with so much diffidence as I do now, for never have I been honoured with so enthusiastic a reception, for the manner in which you are pleased to say I have discharged the duties of my office; while throwing around me, as you do, Mr Chairman, the shield of your authority, I feel doubly honoured. Added to this, too, you have most liberally presented me with the hand- somest token which it ever fell to the lot of any one associated with cricket to receive, and if I am wanting in the expression of my thanks, I hope you will excuse me. arid accept what I may have to say as the warmest expressions of a grateful heart. When, in 1855,1 undertook the duties of this office, of which I relieved my brother, I found that in many respects he had paved the way for me. I therefore endeavoured to bring into active exertion the latent energies of cricket, not only in Surrey, but in England generally, and I hope I have succeeded in the great series of matches which for the last six years have been played. The at- tendance at all of them shows me that we have ever been sup- ported by the public, and I am sure the faithful historian of cricket during that period will do us the credit we deserve. The cordial support you have ever given me, and the support ten- dered the club by the cricketing world, is the best reward I can ask for the labours I have bestowed. And now, on another point; I would not mar the hilarity of the evening, but I must say that although during the past winter I have been subjected to a vast amount of calumny from a few whose ignorance, guided by their own ideas, is their best excuse, I have received the most cordial support from gentlemen cricketers, and with their opinion I rest content [ hear, hear]. Passing from the personal to that which has drawn us together at our nineteenth annual meeting, I can only say that the position I occupy here as your financier enables me to have the pleasure of telling you that we have collected in one year £ 2,500, and paid the professional cricketers of England £ 1,020 for services in the field, a fact which is unprecedented in the annals of cricket in either the 18th or 19th century [ cheers]; and I may also add that while but a few members have left us owing to various causes, no less than sixty gentlemen have joined us since we last met under this roof [ renewed cheering]. Having been amongst you for eight years as your hon secretary, going in and out among you as I have done, contracting and cementing friendships, I can only say that I know of no enemy [ hear, hear] among the members of the club. I would only add that the moral I would draw from the proceedings of this evening is this: that the best return of gratitude I can show for expressions con- veyed and gift bestowed is on my part a faithful discharge of the duties I have undertaken on your behalf, and an endeavour, as far as in me lies, to promote the prosperity of this great county club; and animated by such feelings, and guided by such notions, I would say to one and all of you, with feelings of the deepest grati- tude, I sincerely thank you. Mr Burrup then filled the cup with champagne, and presented it to Mr Marshall, every one at the table drinking the hon secre- tary's health from it. It is a two- handled chased silver cup and cover weighing 80oz, bearing on one side the inscription and on the other the crest of Mr Burrup, surmounted by the monogram " W. B." The inscription on the cup is as follows:—" Presented to William Burrup, Esq, by the members of the Surrey County Cricket Club, at their annual dinner on the 13th May, 1863, in ac- knowledgment of his unceasing and invaluable exertions as their honorary secretary." The remaining toasts were, " The Presi- dent, Mr Marshall," " The County Eleven," and " The Maryle- bone Club." The musical talent on the occasion was represented by Mackney and Messrs Young, Southwell, Burgess, Bernard, and Watson, MATCHES FOK 1863. E. Scott, William Daniel, Joseph Thewlis, W. Shotton. B.

This match was played on Monday and Tuesday, May 11 and 12, on Fenner's Ground, and resulted in the somewhat unexpected victoiy of the M. C. C. by 6 runs and one innings. They have, however, to thank Mr Perkins, who volunteered to play for the club, and Mr Lyttelton, who deserted his University " for this match only,'' for the hollowness of their victory. It seems strange to University men, who see so much cricket played by small clubs, that a numerous and influential club like the M. C. C. is unable to send down a complete team to play a match. The in- terest of the match is at once diminished, both for spectators and ( still worse) for opponents. Wootton was not to be denied, and the wickets fell rapidly at either end till Messrs Jack and Fowler came to the rescue, and put their elder brethren to shame, these two alone scoring more than twice the runs of all the rest. For the M. C. C., in like manner, two alone distinguished themselves. Mr Lyttelton's 49 was a perfect treat; twice he hit Mr Collins out of the ground to square leg for 6, and cut and drove every bowler that went in, till at last another change and a " popper" disposed of him. Mr Perkins was also very busy; his forward drives and cuts, of which there were enough to satisfy many of the field, being particularly cleanly made. After these two were disposed of the rest fell quickly. On the second day the wicket played roughly after the rain ; but Mr De Grey, despite of the bumping, played very carefully for 19. Mr Daniel's 14 included a magnificent off' hit for 5, from Wootton. Messrs Lyan and Tuck also played with caution. Mr Fowler was finely caHght at the wicket on the leg side, off Wootton. The total only reached 86, or 6 runs too few to save the single innings. So decided a victory has not been gained over the University of Cambridge for several years; but with proper care, and steady practice of the game, there is no reason why any eleven should be able to repeat the dose, which is so ex- tremely distasteful to the principal patrons of the game in the University.

NEW YORK, MAY 5.— The news from General Hooker's army is up to six o'clock on Sunday evening. On the afternoon of Saturday General " Stonewall" Jackson, by a flank movement, made a vigorous attack upon the right wing of the Federals near Chancellorsville. General Schurz's division, composed princi- pally of Germans, was the first to feel the shock, and immediately gave way. No efforts of the officers to rally their men were of any avail, and the retreat became a rout; whole regiments threw down their arms and fled towards head- quarters. The panic soon extended to General Deven's division, which also broke and ran. Two brigades of General Howard's division alone retired in order, to the support of whom General Hooker sent his own division, commanded by General Berry. The united and desperate exer- tions of these troops, after a most sanguinary struggle, succeeded in checking the Confederate advance, and prevented General Jackson from completing his victory. At daybreak on Sunday the Confederates again advanced, this time being met upon the extreme right by General Berry. The battle raged for three hours and a half, during which Berry was killed. The Federals then fell back, the enemy pursuing. The fighting continued four hours longer, when, the Federals having succeeded in getting the Confederates in their front, the conflict was suspended. The carnage on both sides is described as being awful, but no numbers are given. It was expected that the battle would be renewed on Monday ; but, if it were, the Federal Government has not, up to this hour ( six o'clock), allowed the fact to be made public. All sorts of rumours are in circulation— some to the effect that Hooker's entire force has been cut to pieces; others, that it has entered into Richmond without a struggle. Great dissatisfaction is everywhere expressed against the authorities at Washington for withholding the information, good or bad, which the public has a right to expect. The Confederate force which recently occupied Morgantown, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, captured four companies of Militia belonging tothe town; it then proceeded to Fairmount, and engaged the Federals under Col Mulligan, who were defending the railroad bridge which spans the Monongahela near that place. After a short conflict the Federals were beaten, and the bridge, the finest on the road, was totally destroyed. The Confederates took 250 of Colonel Mulligan's men prisoners, but the loss in killed and wounded on either side is not known. Parkersburg and Wheeling are believed to be the next points threatened. It is reported, vid Memphis, on the 30th, that a body of Con- federate cavalry had made a raid into Central Mississippi and de- stroyed 20 miles of the Mississippi Central Railroad and a large quantity of arms and stores. On the 21st ult General Banks occupied Opelensas and Wash- ington, in Louisiana. General Banks's intention is to proceed northward, to form a junction with the forces under Admirals Farragut and Porter, and General Grant, designing thereby the complete severance of the Confederate line of communication for supplies from Texas to Port Hudson, The Jackson Mississippi Appeal of the 24th ult states that the Confederate force in Arkansas under Generals Stirling Price and Kirby Smith is rapidly augmenting in numbers, and will soon resume operations in Missouri. Despatches from Cairo of to- day ( the 5th) deny the report that the Federals had occupied Grand Gulf, and state that, on the contrary, they were signally repulsed. General Marmaduke has returned to Arkansas from his late successful raid into Missouri. The ship Punjaub, from Boston, is reported to have been captured by the Alabama, and subsequently released upon giving bonds. The date and the locality of the capture are not stated. The Hon C. L. Vallandigham was arrested by a military force at his residence at Dayton, Ohio, this morning, by the order of General Burnside, and carried to Cincinnati. An attempt made by his friends in Dayton to rescue him from the soldiers was unsuccessful. In the case of the Peterhoff on Saturday a motion made on behalf of the owners of the vessel to admit the testimony of Capt Jarman was opposed by the district attorney and the counsel for the captors. Upon this motion the court took the papers, and re- served its decision. An order to allow Mr Redgate, one of the owners of the cargo, to testify in his own behalf was then applied for. Mr Redgate's counsel stated that his client was born a British subject; that he was an enemy of the Confederate Govern- ment ; that his portion of the cargo had been legitimately con- signed to his partner at Matamoras, and that he desired to be and remain a citizen of the United States, provided he could thereby receive the restitution of his property and damages for unlawful capture and detention; but, if he were to be treated as an alien enemy, he demanded that he be regarded as a British subject, and as such he should claim protection from the British Go- vernment. The court decided that, as Mr Redgate was a resident of a re- bellious state, he was to be considered an alien enemy. THE LATE FATAL FIGHT- To- day, at the Central Criminal Court, Samuel Howlett ( 26) and James Lewis, William Hammond and James Hammond, surrendered to take their trial for the manslaughter of Samuel Rivett, who died some time back, immediately after a fight in Hackney Marshes. They were found guilty, but strongly recom- mended to mercy on the ground that the fight was fair, and was arranged fey the deceased himself. Sentence— Two months' im- prisonment, and to enter inta their recognisances to keep the peace for twelve months.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS- Affairs in the general money market have so far changed as to have induced an impression that the directors of the Bank of Eng- land at their meeting on Thursday would have advanced their minimum from 3 to 3j per cent, and although that measure was not adopted, it is evident that there was sufficient reason for the expectation, seeing that the return issued from that establish ment for the week ending Wednesday last shows a reduction of £ 422,465 in the reserve of notes, of £ 488,619 in the bullion, and of £ 1,100,000 in the Government securities, and an increase o£ £ 1,482,518 in the amount of bills discounted by the authorities. Same of these alterations may have been partially occasioned by the abnormal pressure produced by the idea that higher terms were imminent, and the consequent avidity of the mercantile community to obtain supplies before a change was effected. The specie movement, moreover, is rather less favourable, the influx of gold into the Bank of England having ceased, while larger ex- ports are now made to the Continent and other quarters. Trade continues steady. At the Stock Exchange speculation in Foreign securities is still the predominant feature. The Funds in the mean time have exhibited a little heaviness, consequent upon spe- culative sales. Consols closed on Friday afternoon at 93J for money, and at 92 to 92J less the dividend for the account. SATURDAY EVENING. The Funds to- day remained steady. Consols closed at 93j | for money, and at 92 to 92| for the account, ex dividend. In the Foreign Market there was little change of importance. Old Turkish Six per Cents closed at 88f to 89j, the Loan of 1858 a^ 70 j f, the Loan of 1862 at 71| f, and the Consolides were heavy at 50 to 50j; Greek Bonds improved to 32| - J. Railway shares were without material variation. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares remained inactive at about previous quotations. IRISH. MAY. Frenchpark 15 | Kanturk 18 JUNE.

UNIVERSITY v PLAYERS. This match was played 011 Thursday and Friday, April 30 and May 1, in rather unfavourable weather. The University winning the toss, put the Players in, and disposed of them for 106, no large number considering that the three single wicket champions were included in the team. Tarrant and Buttress, however, proved too good for the gentlemen, who retired with the very modest contribution of 55 among them, Mr Lyttelton and Mr Booth alone providing doubles. The Players improved but little on their previous performance, though the extra runs just suf- ficed to save the match. The brothers Hayward were in great force. Carpenter, like many others in this match, was caught near the wicket, through mistaking a leg ball. The University made a good attempt to get the necessary runs, and at one time the hitting was very lively. Mr Barbour put Tarrant away so freely that Tom Hayward had to take the ball, but with no change for the better. Mr Tuck played a true cricketer's innings, and proved his command over the bowling, when, at the fall of the last wicket, amid the great excitement of both sides, he carried out his bat for a well- earned score of 33, after having, with Messrs Barbour and Fowler, manfully played an uphill game.

Why, he has been and gone and got vaccinated, and is consequently afraid to come to the scratch." Of course, nothing more could be said, and the Peripatetics were only too glad to mark the flight of their prophet by invoking the assistance of Hegira. The Gorilla presented the club with a fresh cocoa nut, carved in the form of an omega. Mr Mallard got a duck, but was not out, and the tent was blown down immediately after the pran- dial blow out. Betting: 11 to 2 on the field. But what's the odds, so long as you are as happy as the Peripatetics always are at Cranbrooke ? CRANBROOKE PARK. Capt Bazalgette, b Eden 0 H. II. Dobree, b Eden 9 A.

S CRYSTAL PALACE.— Returr, of admissions for six days eiufeswr : k$ i- irday, M « ty Jj6 { including4iJ3Son ticket holder?), 1.8, CHARGE OF FORGERY. To- day, at the Mansion House, John Lewis, formerly a clerk in the employment of Mr James Martin, a bill broker, of Chancery- lane, was charged with forging the name ef Mr Martin to a check for £ 15 upon the Bank of London. The prisoner was dis- charged from Mr Martin's service about the 1st of April for stealing a Post Office Directory, and on the 4th of April a check purporting to be signed by Mr Martin was presented at the Bank of London, and paid in gold, but the cashier could not recognise the prisoner as the person who presented it. On Friday last the prisoner employed a boy whom he met in the street to go to the Bank of London with an order for a check book for Mi- Martin, and signed " J. Martin." which signature he had forged- The cashier, after questioning the boy, went to the door of the bank, where he saw the prisoner, who was thereupon taken into custody. He admitted the charge, and was committed for trial. CAUGHT IN A TRAP- To- day, at Guildhall, Thomas Thomas, a young man described as a " gentleman," and Frederick Webb, clerk and porter to Mr Davison, of 156, Cheapside, were charged with being in the house of Mr Pepler, of 61, St Martin's- le- Grand, for the purpose of conv mitting a felony.— Mr Davison, Mr Quilter, and another gentle man gave the prisoner Webb the highest possible character for honesty. They also spoke favourably of Thomas.— Alderman Humphery said he should discharge Webb in consequence of the excellent character he had received, but he thought Thomas's conduct was very suspicious, and he therefore committed him for two months'imprisonment with hard labour.— Mr Lewis said he should appeal against the conviction. MIGHT HOUSES. To- day, at Marlborough- street, David Belasco, of No. 48, Lei- cester- square, known as Kate Hamilton's, was summoned for permitting prostitutes to assemble in his house. The defendant, after having been frequently summoned for the same offence, set up a sublease to a man named Fryer, who, upon being summoned: was not to be found. The police then summoned the waiter, but failed to prove their case against him. The sublease was now again set up as a defence, but evidence was given to show that Belasco was nightly at the house giving orders, and that the taxes had been paid by him.— Upon the evidence Mr Knox decided that the sublease was a sham and a blind to enable the defendant to evade the law. Belasco was therefore fined £ 5. Notice of appeal was served. SEDUCTION AND DISGRACE- To- day, at Clerkenwell, Amelia Gould, a lady- like woman o^ about 23, was charged with using threatening language to George Priddle, a boot and shoemaker, of 47, Leather- lane. The parties had lived together as man and wife for the last six years, and had one child.— The complainant, a tall, powerful man, with black whiskers and moustache, said he would have continued the co- habitation had it not been for the defendant's drunken and dissi- pated habits, and for her continually threatening his life. He was very much afraid of her, and on Monday last she was very violent, and said to him, " You wretch, I'll stick a knife in you," at the same time seizing him by the whiskers and pulling them. Since then she had left him, and being afraid she would return and kill him, he had taken these proceedings.— The defendant said she went to reside with the complainant as servant, and he had basely seduced her. She had never threatened him, and as to killing him, no such thought had entered her head. All he wanted was the possession of the child, who was now with her. — Mr D'Eyncourt said the defendant must find a respectable surety in the sum of £ 10 ts keep the peace for three months.— The defendant then preferred a charge of assault against the pre- vious complainant, and showed several bruises on her arms, which she stated he had caused on Monday last. He had frequently ill- used her.— The defendant denied the charge, and his brother proved that the complainant was drunk, and got the bruises by falling while in that state.— The charge was dismissed, and Miss Gould was locked up for want of a surety. CONVICTION OF THREE DETECTIVE OFFICERS FOR EXTORTING MONEY. To- day, at Southwark, Henry Barrett, police- sergeant, Wm. Jones, and Henry Young, well- known detective officers of many years standing, were charged with extorting £ 9 from Mr Murray, a licensed victualler, formerly keeping the Victoria Tavern, Waterloo- road, under the plea of getting his license transferred, and also attempting to obtain a further sum of £ 5 from him by- threats.— The prosecutor said he had kept the Victoria Tavern, and on the 23d of December last he was fined £ 5 for harbouring thieves in that house. About a week after that conviction the three prisoners came to his house and gave him to understand that they knew he wanted to leave his house, and that if he would give them money they would make it all right, so that his license would not be taken away. They came to him several times, and hinted that unless the money were paid they would not stand by him, and that in fact it was a question whether the license would be withdrawn and transferred. He gave them money on various occasions, and at last he promised them £ 5 more when the license was actually transferred. Witness had let the house and had paid the last £ 5. Mr Goldby, his tenant, confirmed this part of the state- ment, and said that the prisoners had asked him formoney, and they had it. He afterwards spoke to the prosecutor upon the subject, and received back from him half the amount he had paid. The prisoners denied the charge. Mr Burcham said that whatever conclusion he might have come to upon the evidence of Mr Murray, upon the confirmatory evidence of Mr Goldby he could only come to the conclusion that the three prisoners had been guilty. He well knew that this decision would throw the pri- soners out of their employment. Such a case must be made an example of, to protect the public from extortions. He therefore sentenced ail three to imprisonment and hard labour for one month. An application was made that the prisoners might be fined instead, as they all had families to support, but Mr Burcham ^ aidJis should not alter his decision. LAW INTELLIGENCE. CURIOUS ACTION FOR ASSAULT.— In the Court of Queers Bench, on Tuesdaj', an action was brought by a Mr Jordan, against Colonel Gibbon, C. B., of the Royal Artillery, for having given him into the custody of a policeman on a charge of violence* trespass, and assault, and caused him to be taken through the streets to Vine- street police- station, where he was detained for a few moments, the defendant not pressing any charge or complaint against him. — The defendant pleaded justification; that the plaintiff came at a late hour of the night to the house of Mr ® Clarke, in which he ( the defendant) lodged; that he conducted himself with violence, and was guilty of an assault on him and. on Mrs Clarke. The action originated in circumstances of a pecu- liar and painful nature. The plaintiff is the husband of Mrs! Jordan, an actress engaged at Drury- lane Theatre, and having reason to suspect his wife of infidelity and of intriguing with ME Boucicault, lessee of the Westminster Theatre ( late Astley's), he separated from her, and she then took lodgings at the house of Mrs Clarke, in Pall- mall, where she and her husband had previously resided, and in which the defendant resided at the time of the origin of the action. Plaintiff, having determined to watch his! wife, and also the movements of Mr Boucicault, placed himself on the night of Sept 3, in a position in which he could not be ob- served, and from which he commanded a view of the door of the house, and could see any one passing in or out, and while there, at about midnight, he saw a man knock at the door ; saw it opened to him by his wiie, and saw him enter the house. That man he believed to be Mr Boucicault. He rushed to the house, knocked violently, and succeeded in arousing the servants and their mistress, Mrs Clarke. He said he saw a man enter the house, and demanded to be allowed to go through it and search for him. Altercation ensued between hiin and the servants, and Mrs Clarke, hearing the noise of voices, got up, and, complaining of the imputation which the plaintiff was casting upon the cha- racter of her house, refused to allow him to search the premises, and ordered him to depart immediately. He refused, and, while he was in altercation with Mrs Clarke, the defendant, Col Gibbon, who had been at his club, arrived. Hearing the altercation, and having a great respect for Mrs Clarke, the defendant told plaintiff, whom he did not know previously, that he must retire. Plaintiff refused, and said if he stopped all night, he was determined to discover the man who visited his wife. He pledged himself that he would not use any violence, but see him he must. He was informed that he had better go into his wife's room, but he refused to do so. Colonel Gibbon then procured a light and proceeded to his sitting room. While thus occupied, the plaintiff, who had rushed by Mrs Clarke, ascended the staircase and demanded to be allowed to search the rooms ore the third floor— those occupied by Colonel Gibbon. Colonel Gibbon refused to allow him, telling him had he not exhibited such violence and been guilty of personally offending him, he would not object to his searching his rooms. Ultimately, 011 con- ference with Mrs Clarke, a policeman was sent for, and plaintiff: was taken to the police- station in Vine- street, by way of St James's; Park. Explanations took place there, and Colonel Gibbon declined to press any charge against plaintiff, who was immediately dis « charged.— It was elicited in the evidence of Col Gibbon that upon his expressing his regret for the cause of plaintiff having been taken to the police- station in custody, and having declared most solemnly that he had no knowledge that any impropriety was carried on between Mr Boucicault and Mrs Jordan, to whom he had never spoken but once in his life, a reconciliation took place between them, as he believed, but, to his surprise, a considerable number of days after he received a letter from plaintiff's attorney, threatening him with an action for false imprisonment, and ask- ing him to send the name © f his attorney.— The learned judge having summed up, the jury found for the plaintiff. Damages—• £ 25.— The learned judge, however, stayed execution, as the de- fendant intends to move to set aside the verdict. THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE.- FRIDAY. The provincial markets, taken as a whole, have been tolerably well supplied with Wheat this week, the condition still keeping good. The satisfactory appearance of the crops has tended to depress the trade, which has been quite of a retail character, at prices invariably in favour of buvers. Barley could not be purchased for any kind. Oats have very generally been a short supply, and, with a good inquiry, have made fuller rates, as has also Beans, and in some cases Peas, The total arri- vals of home- grown grain and Flour at Mark- lane this week have been limited; and from foreign ports the receipts of Wheat, Barley, Oats, and Flour have been equally contracted. The number of dealers at market to- day was scanty, and the inquiry for all kinds of Wheat was Inactive, with prices looking down. Flour participated in the dulness, but prices were not quoted lower. Barley was stead v in price and de- mand. The demand for Oats was not quite so good as on Monday, but prices were much the same. Beans remain firm and in steady request; and Peas supported former currencies.
