The foundation of institutions on the Continent which combine large capital and credit for financial and industrial enterprise has now be- come an established fact, and in many cases their success has been re- markable. Such institutions may be abused, and become mere instru- ments of speculation; but, when prudently conducted and directed to- wards legitimate business it cannot be denied that they meet one of the real wants of the age. England has hitherto not participated in this movement, and the con- sequence is, that Paris has, to a considerable extent, superseded London as the centre of financial enterprise. London, nevertheless, affords byfar the best spherefor awell managed undertaking of this description. It is the greatest money market of the world; the point to which all foreign nations resort to raise capital; the place where large contracts can be made and loans negotiated. There is clearly no other money market where concentrated capital and credit ought to command a more secure or larger profit. England also, in her colonies, and, above all, in her vast Indian Empire, affords a field for legitimate enterprise which is unequalled by any other country. India, with a population of 180,000,( Kj0, rapidly ad- vancing in wealth and prosperity, requires nothing more to accelerate its development than the direction towards its territory of some portion of that vast annual accumulation of English capital which seeks invest- ment at a low rate of interest. To ally the demand of India for capital at 10 or 12 per cent, with the English demand for investment at 4 or 5 per cent., of itself affords an ample sphere for operations. It is to meet these requisites that some gentlemen, experienced in fiinancial and mercantile operations, have associated themselves to- gether in order to form an English company, in alliance with the fol- lowing leading banking- houses and capitalists of France, who areabout to form a similar company in Paris, under the title of " Societe Generate pourfavoriserle Development de l'industrie et du Commerce de la France," the application for a concession being made by— M. Archdeacon, Ancien Agent de Change. M. Bartholony, President de la Cie. du Chemin de Fer de Parish Orleans. Messrs. Bischoffsheim, Goldschmidt, et Cie., Banquiers a Paris. Messrs. Edwd. Blount et Cie., Banquiers it Paris. M. Cahen D'Anvers, Banquier a Paris. M. Davillier ( Henri), President de la Chambre de Commerce de Paris. M. Deniere, President du Tribunal de Commerce de Paris, M. Fr& re, Censeur de la Banque de France. Messrs. Hentsch, Lutscher, et Cie., Banquiers & Paris. M. Leroux ( Alfred), Depute au Corps Legislatif. M. Lucy Sedillot, Ancien President du Tribunal de Commerce de la Seine. Messrs. Mirabaud, Paccard, et Cie., Banquiers a Paris. M. Perier ( Jh.), ill- gent de la Banque de France. M. Pinard, du Comptoir d'Escompte de Paris. M. Schneider, Vice- President du Corps L^ gislatif. M. Simons, President de la Cie. desChemins de Ferde l'Ouest. M. P. Talabot, Directeur des Chemius de Fer de Paris a Lyon, et a la Mediterranee. A treaty has been signed with this party by which they subscribe for 20,000. shares in this company's present issue, and the same number in case of a second issue, the company subscribing for20,000 of their shares, and arrangements being made by which the two companies act as each other's agents, and have the option of participating to a certain extent in each other's operations. The business will be to negociate loans and concessions; assist indus- trial enterprises, public works, and railway undertakings; negotiate Foreign, Indian, and Colonial Bonds; conduct mercantile transa tions; and establish agencies for large commission business— in a word, to undertake all such operations as an intelligent and experienced capi- talist might eflect on his own account with a capital of millions, with the exception of such purely speculative transactions as are prohibited by the memorandum of association. The credit and resources derived from a large subscribed capital could thus be employed in earning dividend with a comparatively small paid- up capital. It is probable that not more than 40 or 50 per cent would ever be called up on any shares, a further issue being made whenever the increase of business required it. No call will exceed £ 2 per share, or be made at intervals of less than two months. Instead of fixed salary, the directors will receive no remuneration until the shareholders have a dividend of 5 per cent, or upwards, and will then be paid by an allowance of 10 per cent on the divisible profits of the year; and their interests are further identified with the success of the company by clauses in the articles of association, and by giving them the privilege of taking a fifth of any further issue of shares. Sub- ject to this, and to the subscription of 20,000 shares in each new series by the French party, all new shares will be distributed pro rata among existing shareholders. 20,000 shares have been subscribed, as above stated, by the French party, and the remaining 105,008 by private subscription: but arrange- ments have been made for deducting from these subscriptions, so as to give the public the option of subscribing for 35,000 shares. Copies of the memorandum and articles of association lie for inspec- tien at the office of the solicitors, Messrs Baxter, Rose, Norton, and Co, 6, Victoria- street, Westminster, and at the temporary offices of the company.

To try them, I have seated myself on a rock in the river, lunched, and smoked my ' baccy' afterwards, with the water up to and over my knees; and it is my opinion, that if 1 had sat for a week the boots and myself would have been equally ' dry."'— See Field, Jan I7th, 1863.— Prices, and directions for self- measurement sent on application.

This company is formed for purchasing, on advantageous terms, the magnificent music hall well known to the public as the Royal Alhambra Palace, Leicester- square, London. The present proprietor, wishing to relieve himself of the great anxiety and responsibility consequent on the sole management of so large an establishment, has consented to part with his entire interest in the pro- perty to this company, taking a large proportion of the purchase money in shares. He will in future divide the management with an executive committee; thus there can be little doubt of increasing eyen the pre- sent success of the institution. It is intended to engage permanently for the evening concerts a com- plete and efficient orchestra and a numerous chorus, and to engage nightly eminent vocal and instrumental solo performers, and by con- stantly varying the entertainment always to renew its attraction. It is intended also, besides producing the most admired works in all schools of music, to invite the most popular composers of the day to write ex- pressly for the Alhambra concerts pieces which will be specially adapted to the resources of the hall and the taste of the visitors. The nightly concerts at the Alhambra will, in some degree, resemble those at the public gardens of Berlin and Vienna, where the great masterpieces in music are executed to such perfection as can only be attained by the constant playing together of the same artists; they will present opportunity for the training of a band and chorus to such a degree of excellence in ensemble performance as is all but incompatible with the occasional union of singers and players, even of the highest individual qualifications; they may thus be the means of advancing musical art, whilst promoting the national taste for music, in the manner begun at the promenade concerts, and continued at the Monday Popular Concerts. The nightly entertainments will be divided into two parts— the first part will consist of the concerts described above, which will comprise high- class music only, and will terminate at an early hour. The second part will include various popular sources of amusement. Mr G. A. Macfarren, of the Royal Academy of Music ( one of the directors), has undertaken to write periodically for the Alhambra An engagement is pending with Mr A. Manns, of the Crystal Palace, to be conductor of the orchestral concerts. It is intended to open the; Hall every day as an exhibition of pictures by living artists, at a moderate charge of admission, which will be a great boon to many, who will thus have an opportunity of displaying and selling meritorious productions which now remain unknown to the public. A commission on all sales effected will be charged. On special occasions the Hall may be used or let during the day time, which has never yet been attempted. The extensive cellarage belonging to the Hall can be let for a consider- able sum per annum. It is intended to improve the acoustic properties of the Hall, and to introduce alterations which will greatly contribute to the comfort of the visitors, whilst adding to the sources of profit, such as greater diffu- sion of light at less expense, the construction of private boxes, re- arrangement of the body of the Hall and stalls ( some of which will be set apart for ladies only), with Indications of occupancy of seats, and fitting- up two commodious and well- appointed supper- rooms ( a want much felt at the establishment at present), & c, & c. There is no position in the metropolis more central, or better adapted for the purposes contemplated. The Royal Alhambra Palace is only four or five minutes' walk from the Charing- cross Railway, to be opened early in July, which will give facilities to visitors. It " is near many hotels in the neighbourhood of Trafalgar- square and the Strand, and the projected " Charing- cross," " Adelphi," and " Strand" hotels will no doubt furnish a large audience. The hall is capable of holding upwards of 6,000 persons. The price to be paid for the lease of 51 years of the hall, the houses and the entire buildings belonging thereto, goodwill, furniture, fittings, stage properties, stock of plate, glass, china, cutlery, and entire contents, is £ 35,000 in cash, and £ 10,000 in fully paid up shares of the company, which is considered a very advantageous purchase. Each registered owner of 30 shares and upwards will be supplied by the directors wi: h a free pass ticket, with name and address thereon, to admit such shareholder to any part of the hall when opened, excepting private boxes and parts specially appropriated to the performers. In future issues of shares preference will be given to original shareholders. The net profits of this popular place of amusement are now very large, and by the above improvements will no doubt be vastly increased; and, as the business is formed already, there would be an immediate income the day after the company entered into possession. As to the amount of dividends, the directors are unwilling to state any sum which might appear to be exaggerated. Having regard, however, to the success which has already atter ded the establishment, they have no hesitation in stating that a handsome and immediate dividend will be realised by the shareholders. As a large number of shares have been subscribed for privately the directors confidently appeal to the public for the remaining capital re- quired, and If no allotment is made the deposit money will be returned. Prospectuses, with application forms for shares, may be obtained at the temporary sffices of the company, of the brokers, solicitors, or architect, and at the Royal Alhambra Palace. Leicester- square, London. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES. To be left at any of the branches of the London and Westminster Bank, with 10s deposit for each share applied for.

O A Iv L E Y on the D E R B~ Y— Charles Oakley, though he had not the pleasure of winning the Derby, as he Has had the honour of doing for the last ten years in succession, yet does not hesitate to assert that nothing but acci- dent prevented his success. C. Oakley does not for a moment wish to disparage the merits of Macaroni, for he ran " a good- un," but C. 0. maintains there were three horses in the race that could have beat him barring accident. Certainly it was the luckiest Derby ever won, for at the most critical part of the race C. Oakley's selection ( Saccharometer and King of the Vale), who it is well- known were several pounds better than when they met Macaroni in the Two Thousand Guineas, were thrown completely out of the race, and there cannot be the shadow of a doubt, had they kept on their legs, one of them must have won by a clear length; in fact, it can be demonstrated on racing arguments, from the positions obtained by Rapid Rhone and Blue Mantle, how handy Saccharometer and King of the Vale would have been at the finish. Then again look at Lord Ciiden, nothing but the " slip" of this gallant son of Newminster when close at home prevented his doing the trick, though it might have been only by ahead. Truly it was a lucky day for Macaroni. C. Oakley would very much like to know if the worthy owner of the win- ner of the Derby is prepared to run a match for five " thousand over the Derby course with either Lord Clifden, Saccharometer, er King of the Vale? C. Oakley opines not. C. Oakley will only further observe that in advising the horses he did, he recommended them most conscientiously and honestly. He well knew his selections were wonderfully improved, and fit to run for a kingdom, and that the owners and all connected with the stables were most sanguine of success, and kept backing their horses witii the utmost confidence, refusing to hedge a shilling : and, had it not been for the accidents, C. Oakley feels confident the fiat of the judge would have been far different. ASCOT STAKES, NORTHUMBERLAND PLATE, AND ST LEGER. C. Oakley begs to inform his subscribers and the sporting public at large that he will issue in two or three days something of a very first- rate character for Ascot, also the Northumberland Plate, and a regular clipper he believes certain to win ( barring accident) the Doncaster St Leger. His terms are as follows:— To end of the season, 10s Gd; any single race, 13 stamps. Address, C. Oakley, 52, Red Lion- street, Hol- born, London, W. C. M ACARONI! MACARONI! !— J. BERRY victorious with his Two Thousand Guinea Hero. It affords me much pleasure in congratulating my subscribers on having landed the Derby with my especial selection Macaroni; and when it is borne in mind that 1 was the only man who stood Macaroni as the absolute winner of the Two Thousand Guineas, and discarded every " pot" in the race, and again stood by him and Gillie to furnish the winner of the Derbv. it must be acknowledged that my judgment is worthy of your patronage. There can be no doubt but that Gillie and Macaroni must have finished the absolute first and second, for inside the distance Gillie came out full of running, and the fielders, as with a voice of thunder, shouted, " Gillie beats anything for a thousand! " and it looked any odds on him. whe* the brute suddenly shewed temper, and cut it. However, Macaron. recompensed our misfortune with Gillie, and I hope you feel proud withr" the result; more especially, as with scarcely an exception the press writers ignored his chance altogether, and insisted on the Two Thousand running being reversed in the Derby, which I always protested against, aa my circulars will prove. As for the partisans of Lord Clifden ( who were the fiercest opponents to the pretensions of Maccaroni, and have not yet confessed their error), excusing his defeat by alleging that he stumbled on the post, why all I can say is that the statement is the invention of a purely imaginative mind. Surely further proof were not needed that the better horse won, seeing that Macaroni had undergone two severe preparations this year too Lord Clifden's one ; and that Macaroni took a prominent part in many of the false starts, whereas Lord Clif- den's quiet demeanour preserved his energies intact, for the grand and final struggle !'. 1 hope to be as fortunate at Ascot, and will communi- cate thereon in due time. I trust it is superfluous to remind subscribers that their remittances by P. O. O. on Pimlico, will be fully appreciated.

General Lee and the Confederates have to thank him for having attempted too many things at once. Lee did not commit the same error, but at once abandoned his favourite position, quitted his entrench ments, and throwing all his force on his opponent, successfully repelled a movement which seemed at first to threaten him with destruction.

To any one cynically inclined, the pathos of The Times on the DrawingRoom of last week would have been amusing. That ladies were only able to show their tasteful finery to each other might have been something to smile at, had that been the sole evil- Nor is it quite apparent, as a matter of logic, or of moral justice' that the Princess of Wales is to receive pity for her exertions, not because they were more heavy than ought to have been im- posed on any lady, but because she is " so fair." The fault, of bringing a certain amount of ridicule on these causes of com- plaint lies in the way in which these " Drawing Eoom" evils have been presented to public notice, for they themselves are quite sufficient to call for attention and to require remedy. A sovereign ( or her representative) who appears in public graciously to receive all those who are privileged to be presented to her, ought not to be called on to perform the task under circumstances which make its performance absolutely painful, nor ought the ladies themselves who ask for the presentation to be subjected to every kind of discomfort, and to come away from the presence of the royal lady with feelings of annoyance and pain ( perhaps, too, with the germs of serious illness), occasioned by the manner in which they are compelled to go through a ceremony, which ought to leave no remembrances but those of pleasure. But it is in vain to deny that something of this double annoy- ance to princess and visitor arises inevitably from the great num- bers now presented. It also arises from the comparative rarity of drawing rooms. It would almost seem that a drawing room was intended to be like a new opera, or a great speech- making meeting—" a great attraction." If so the performers on both sides of the dais must expect trouble and discomfort. The remedy would not be very difficult. There could not be, of course, an imitation of Napoleon's court proposed. But an imitation of that of George III. couldnot be objected to. Levees and drawingrooms were in his time held much more frequently than at present, and though there may be many more persons now than then who desire to be presented at court, the number on each occasion would be less if the occasions themselves were more frequent. And then there might be a certain restriction in the numbers of attendance of each individual. If there are more people who have a title to be presented that incon- venience ( for such it is, though it may in some respects be a source of proud congratulation) ought te be provided for by refusing to those who have been once presented ( excepting, of course, those high officials who constitute " the Court'') the right to appear again, except at certain stated intervals. There are some men who go to levee as they go to their club, and almost put the two on the same level in their own minds. And though there are not many ladies who can so go to the Drawing Eoom even they do exhibit instances, in sufficient numbers, of frequently repeated attendances which can hardly be gratifying to an overfatigued Queen or princess, are decidedly troublesome to every one else, and specially unjust to those who would otherwise have the pleasure of a real presentation, and not be put off with the most hasty and inconvenient imitation of it. The vanity of some people overleaps all bounds— they are eternally thrusting themselves for- ward. Their folly should be checked. Every attorney's clerk desires to be called " learned friend," medical men of humble degree aim at being styled " doctor," volunteer officers of any and all professions and trades— in spite even of the Queen's commands to the contrary— try to be designated in ordinary society by military titles; and persons who may by possibility have some claim to be once presented at Court insist on going there as often as if they formed an integral part of the Court itself. All these follies should be cured by the authoritative adoption and steady enforcement of rules. The Queen, as the " fountain of honours," ought not to let them get into such a state of confusion as to make them lose half their real value. Bell's iLtff m % mm\ x> LONDON, SUNDAY, MAY 24. THE LA. ST BATTLE IN NORTH AMERICA. Another series of battles, another enormous slaughter, and affairs remain exactly as they were in the contest between North and South. The main army of the Federals has been entrusted to the command of General Hooker. He appears to have more dash than his predecessor, M'Clellan, but he does not seem to have deviated from the previous practice of the Federal generals. He has fought a great battle which, as he fought it, could not be decisive. It is the old practice of weakening the enemy's army by mere slaughter, but not defeating his schemes by a well- connected plan of operations. What are the facts of the matter 1 General Hooker, with a large army, which we are fairly entitled to consider as superior in numbers to that of Lee, and which certainly seems quite its equal in courage and endurance, stood on the northern bank of the Rappahannock. For a purpose, which, of course, he deemed sufficient, he incurred the risk of crossing the river. That opera- tion he seems to have performed skilfully and most success- fully. He was then in front of the enemy. He had won the position which he sought for as the means of enabling him to fight at advantage. What did he do undersuch circumstances ? Instead of concentrating all his power, so that whether attacking or attacked he should be certain ( as far as any commander ever can be cer- tain) of crushing his opponent, he divided his troops, and re- duced himself to an equality with, if not to an inferiority to, his enemy. Having in this way invited the chances of defeat, they have fallen on him. The weakness of his 11th division, said to be composed of Germans— though, by the way, the division was commanded by a " Howard"— allowed the enemy to break it into hopeless disorder, and compelled other divisions to come out of their proper places to fight in its support, or at least to prevent the consequences of its defeat from being ruinous. All but the 11th division seem to have fought most resolutely ; and if courage and endurance were alone to decide battles, there is no doubt that it would be a difficult matter to decide which of the two armies could claim the superiority. But Hooker has had one wing beaten in, and that which ought to be the other wing of his concentrated army is separated from him by miles, with Lee ( all his forces massed) in the midst. The Federals took Fredericksburg, and to gain this petty ad- vantage ( for such under the circumstances it really is) their well- settled scheme of advance was sacrificed. When Hooker had reached the southern or right bank of the Rappahannock, he had in fact turned Lee's position, and with all his forces ought, to have attacked Lee in the flank, doubled him in, and crushed his army. Fredericksburg must soon have surrendered to an army which had destroyed its opponent in the field. To win the place at once, 15,000 very fine troops were detached, whose presence on the great field of battle would have been of the utmost importance, and might have secured and completed a victory. And 36,000 were separated in another direction. Can defeat as a consequence of such errors be wondered at ? It was literally the fable of the dog having the substance in his mouth, yet dropping it into the water in order to seize the apparently larger shadow. With all the advantages, however, which have resulted to Lee, he is in no position of undoubted triumph. There has been no decisive victory; but there has been loss enough on each side to inflict" a heavy blow and great discouragement" on both. Par- tisan writers will represent each army as rejoicing in what has been done, and eager to do something new, but partisan writers never tell the truth in its entirety. The Federals who captured Fredericksburg have been obliged to give up their valueless con- quest, and literally cut their way back to that main army from which they ought never to have been separated; and the other detached division may be crushed if tbe Confederates, following the principle which all great commanders have relied on, but which Napoleon made the very cornerstone of his strategy, should be able to disregard other matters, and throw their whoie weight on this division. It may be that they cannot do so without sur- rendering valuable positions, too valuable to be sacrificed even for such an object. Whether it is so or not it is impossible to tell, for the intelligence is far too vague, and the mode of stating it too flighty and bombastic to be entirely relied on. As matters at present stand it appears that General Hooker attempted a fine thing, was diverted from applying all his energies NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. IRON PLATING.— The Powerful, old sailing line- of- battle ship, did her last duty on Thursday at Portsmouth as a target ship. The plates tested comprised one rolled, from Messrs John Brown and Co, of Sheffield, 15ft in length, 3ft 8in in width, and 5in in thickness. The Thames Ironworks sent two hammered plates of about the same dimensions as Messrs Brown's. The Mersey Works, Messrs Clay and Horsfall's, sent two hammered experi- mental charcoal- iron plates of about 5ft by 3ft 3in and Sin in thickness ; and the Millwall Iron Works sent three of nearly the same dimensions, two of the three being rolled iron and the third of steel. The practice was made, as usual, under the superintend- ence of Capt R. 8. Hewlett, C. B., with a 95cwt 68- pounder gun, and the distance was 200 yards. Messrs Brown's plate received nine shots in one- third of its length. One of the Millwall iron plates received eight shots and the other seven. One of the Thames plates received eight shots, three overlapping each other, and four others being edge blows. All these plates were more severely tested than was the 5jin French plate that was recently tried at Portsmouth, and all passed the tests with considerably less injury to the metal than was inflicted on that plate. The second plate of the Thames Company was not of quite so good a quality as the first named, and the experimental steel plate of the Millwall Company broke up under the first shot. The two plates manufactured by the Mersey Company were also easily broken up by the shot. It is necessary, however, to state with regard to these two plates that the Mersey Company manufactured them at the request of a company in the iron trade, having a peculiar kind of charcoal iron, which they thought very suitable for armour plated, and which they desired to have tested. The result has, however, proved it to be utterly unfit for the purpose. As we have again referred to the French plates, it may not be inopportune to observe that, forming a judgment from the results obtained in the trials of some hundreds of English plates at Portsmouth, and from the trials of the two French plates, the manipulation of the metal is far superior in the English to the French, but that the latter have a great superiority in the quality of the metal. LOKD CLYDE.— Field- Marshal Lord Clyde has been suffering during the past week from severe illness; but it gives us much pleasure to state that he is now convalescent, and that the rumours of the dangerous nature of the attack were greatly exag- gerated. TARGET PRACTICE AT ALDERSHOTT.— The regimental returns of the target practice of the troops practising at Aldershott to the 30th of April have recently been published, and give the following as the result:— Regiments. lst Batt Coldstreams 1st Batt Fusilier Gds 2d Batt Coldstreams. lst Batt 3d Regiment 26th Regiment 73d Regiment lst Batt5th Regt.... 76th Regiment 2d Batt lst Regt .... lst Batt 24th Regt .. 37th Regiment 64th Regiment 87 th Regiment Royal Engineers.... In skirmishing the Royal Engineers advanced nearer than 200 yards to the targets. The best shots in the first period were Colour- Sergeant Canning, lst Battalion 3d Regiment; Private Tickling, lst Battalion 5th Eegiment; Sergeant Wright, 26th Eegiment; and Private Bedford, 64th Eegiment, who made32 points; in second period, second class. Private Hubbard, lst Bat- talion Coldstreams; and Private Tattersall, lst Battalion 24th Regiment, who made 23 points; and in the third period, first class, Private Wilson, of the 26th Eegiment, who made 21 points. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. La France has received a first warning for an article published on the elections. The motive is stated to be that La France affected to express the secret sentiments of the Government, and distorted and travestied the policy pursued by the Government in the elections in a manner calculated to mislead public opinion. M Berryer is a candidate for the representation of Marseilles. The Paris Presse says M de Merode and Cardinal Antonelli have been publicly reconciled in the presence of the Pope! The French papers announce that almost the whole of Puebla has been occu- pied by the French troops. M Persigny has issued a circular against a son of M Baroche, who started as a candidate for Versailles. In this circular he intimates that young Baroche greatly misconducted himself in office some time since. It appears from the dates stated that that which is now imputed as miscon- duct was then rewarded by promotion. In the case of M West an exactly opposite course has been pursued. Honest Govern- ment. Lamartine is very ill; his wife has just died, and his own life is considered in great danger. ITALY^ The Opinions says:—" The Italian Government recently re- ceived information that a Bourbon expedition, under the com- mand of Bourbon ex- officers sent from Eome, was being organ- ised on the Albanian coast for the purpose of conducting a num- ber of Albanian brigands into the province of Puglia. In conse- quence, the Italian Government, after having despatched men- of- war to cruise off the Albanian coast, requested the* Porte to arrest the conspirators. Upon a domiciliary visit being made at the house of the Austrian consul at Valona a quantity of arms and ammunition was discovered and seized: Three persons at the Austrian Consulate were arrested."

Numbers of artificers and decorators are daily employed in decorating the Guildhall, which will be converted for the occasion into a mag- nificent baronial hall. The statues are to be draped in dark velvet, and Gog and Magog were on Thursday well washed, pre- paratory to receiving new coats of paint in honour of the auspicious event. A superb raised dais is being prepared, on which will be placed a canopied throne for the prince and princess. Several magnificent chandeliers will be suspended from the roof, and many other decorations introduced quite of a novel character. The invitations have been limited to 1,500 ladies and gentlemen. LOED LYNDHUEST.—" The Nestor of the House of Lords,'' as he has been most properly denominated, completed his 91st year on Thursday. It affords us, as well as the whole of his wide circle of friends, great pleasure to say that the venerable lord is in the enjoyment of excellent health, both mental and physical, but his intellectual faculties surpass his physical. DEATH OF ME WESTERN WOOD, M. P.— We have to record the death of Mr Western Wood, member of Parliament for the city of London, which took place at half- past nine o'clock on Sunday morning, May 17, at his residence, North Cray Place, Kent. He was attacked early in the week by inflammation of both lungs, accompanied by pleurisy, which baffled all the skill of his medical attendants. The deceased gentleman was the youngest son of the late Alderman Sir Matthew Wood, Bart, who represented the city of London in Parliament for 28 years. Mr Wood was returned in July, 1861. DEATH OF H. FARNELL, ESQ.— We regret to announce the de- cease of Henry Farnell, Esq, solicitor, of Holland House, Isle- worth, which took place on the 15th inst, after a long and painful illness. He was the fourth surviving son of the late William Farnell, Esq, of the Isleworth Brewery, and had practised his profession in Isleworth nearly forty years. Born on the 22d day of May, 1797, he was within a week of completing his 66th year. The lamented gentleman was well known to the sporting world, as having been hon sec many years to the Spelthorne Coursing Club and the Thames Angling Preservation Society. It is but justice to his memory to say that he was the life and soul of the last- named institution, and it is almost entirely owing to his inde- fatigable zeal and exertions that the angling public and the honest fishermen derive so much enjoyment and profit at the present time. The example set by the Thames Angling Preservation Society has been laudably followed up in other localities, and there can be no question but that the strenuous endeavours now being made to improve and extend the breeding and protection of fish were prompted by that society. The anglers of future years, and those who gain a livelihood by the " gentle art," will have reason to remember with gratitude how much they are indebted to the skill, labour, and perseverance of the late Henry Farnell, whose loss is deeply deplored by a large circle of relatives and friends. THE SOURCE OF THE NILE.— Mr Consul Petherick, vice- consul at Batoum ( who was reported to be dead by drowning in crossing one of the rivers in Abyssinia) reached Gondokoro, on the White Nile, from the west, on the 23d February, where he joined Cap- tains Speke and Grant. Captain Speke announces that the great lake Victoria Nyanza is unquestionably the main source of the Nile, and prefaces a letter to Sir Roderick Murchison with the words, " I said I would do it, and I have done it." GREAT FIEE IN MANCHESTER.— About twelve o'clock on Tues- day night, May 19, a fire broke out in the timber yard of Mr Al- derman Neill, in Sherborne- street, Strangeways, Manchester. Before the fire brigade could be brought up the flames had got well hold of the timber, and the result was that the greatest amount of water that could be thrown upon the fire failed to ex- tinguish it. The whole contents of the timber yard were destroyed, and some cottage property in the neighbourhood suffered severely. The fire was so hot that, despite a wind in the teeth of the flames, the Britannia Works of Messrs Muir, machinists, on the opposite side of the street, caught fire and were also partially destroyed. Mr Neill was insured to the amount of £ 7,000, but the loss is esti- mated at nearly £ 14.000. DEMOLITION OF STEEATHAM HOUSE, SURREY.— Within the last few days this ancient mansion, for many years identified with the history of Surrey, has been razed to the ground, and its mate- rials distributed among a hundred purchasers. For more than three- quarters of a century it had been looked upon with intense interest, by literary men especially, as the place where the great moralist Johnson passed many of his happiest hours in the com- pany of the leading intellect of his day. The house, as most of our readers may know, was formerly in the occupation of Henry Thrale, Esq, who had married Hester Lynch Salusbury, well known in the literary world by her various sprightly publica- tions, and subsequently more celebrated, after the death of her husband, by her marriage with Mr Gabriel Piozzi, a musical pro- fessor, and her controversy arising out of it with Dr Johnson, who strongly denounced her second union. GUIDE TO THE ROSAL ACADEMY.— Messrs Routledge and Co announce for immediate publication a " Comic Guide to the Koyal Academy," by the brothers Gilbert and Arthur a Beckett. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths in the week ending May 16 were 1,350, being a much lower number than in the previous week, but still 136 more than the average. The deaths from small- pox, which is on the decrease, were 61; from scarlatina, 89 ; measles, 5- 5, & c. The births were 919 boys and 956 girls- total 1,875. PRUSSIA. The Ministers did not make their appearance in the Chamber of Deputies on Monday, May 18 A letter from the Ministers, re- lative to the late resolution of the Chamber, concluded as follows : —" The Ministers have not asked that the President should relinquish his right of interrupting their speeches, but only that he should declare that he has no disciplinary privi- lege, especially that of calling the Ministers to order. The Ministers repeat that unless such a declaration be made they will not be present at the sittings of the Chamber." On the motion of Herr Hoverbeck, the Chamber declared that it saw no reason to make any addition to its resolution of the 15th inst, and that the question of the reorganisation of the army should be removed from the order of the day until the Ministers, in fulfilment of their constitutional duties, made their appearance in the house. Notwithstanding the Ministers' letter, the military ministerial representatives from the department of the Marine were present at the meetings of the committee upon the Budget. Their appear- ance caused great surprise among the members of the committee. At the sitting of the Upper House a vote of thanks, as proposed by the committee, was passed to the King for the conduct of the Go- vernment in the Polish question. The Ministers, Von Bismarck Schonhausen and Von Roon, were present, but did not speak. Attacks of the most violent character upon the Chamber of Depu- ties took place during the debate. Reports are current at Berlin that the Prussian troops occupy the kingdom of Poland as far as the ( Weichsel) Vistula, with the view of co- operating with Russia in the suppression of the insurrection. The Minister, Van Bis- mark, has shown tiimself in the Chamber to read a message from the King, in which the King says:—" The house has indirectly approved of the conduct of its President, which was in violation of the constitutional rights of the Ministry. Such a position for the Ministers does not correspond with the dignity of the Crown. The King can only advise the Chamber to terminate such a state of things, in order that the business of the house may be con- tinued." Von Blsmark then left the house. Herr Virchow moved, " That the royal message be referred to the Committee on the Address, as the Ministers had misinformed the King." Von Sybel and Count 6chwerin seconded the motion, which was unani- mously adopted. So stands this dangerous quarrel. POLAND- Letters from Warsaw state that the revolutionary town captain, in order to prevent the emigration of despondent citizens, issued a proclamation forbidding any person to leave Poland without a passport from the National Government. The Ostsee Zeitung saysThe Provincial Revolutionary Committee for Lithuania has published an answer to the imperial ukase granting an am- nesty, which says:—' As the object of the insurrection is not to obtain concessions from the Emperor, but to establish the inde- pendence of the whole of Poland within the frontiers which ex- isted before its partition, the national struggle shall continue until the last Muscovite soldier has been driven from these Polish provinces, or till the last Polish army has ceased to fight.' y A proclamation issued by the National Committee, on the 5th inst, prohibits any change being made in the present state of the ac- counts of the National Treasury. It also ordains that no private person or official shall be connected with any financial operations, or participate in any way in the public works, and declares null and void all future financial acts and ordinances of the Russian Government. It warns foreign capitalists against acting in vio- lation of the above regulations. Another ordinance of the Na- tional Committee forbids the Paris banker, M Alexandre Laski, from accepting the presidency of the Warsaw Bank. The Lithu- anian Revolutionary Committee has sent to the Provisional Go- vernment a proclamation, addressed, as the committee asserts, by the Russian commanders to their troops, which orders the latter " to exterminate all Catholics, especially the noblemen, and pro- mises the partition of all landed property among them, as well as the blessing of Heaven and the thanks of the Emperor." The Provisional Government has published a proclamation, emanci- pating all the peasants of Volhynia, and assuring to them reli- gious liberty. This proclamation has produced an excellent effect. SWEDEN- The Senate of the Academy and the Municipality of Helsing- fors, in Finland, and the inhabitants of Abo have refused to sign the address of devotion to the Emperor of Russia relative to the Polish insurrection sent round by the Russian military governors. TURKEY. The Porte, on urgent representations made by the French Min- ister, has sent a despatch to St Petersburg in favour of the Poles. GREECE. This country is said to be in a dreadful state of anarchy. Perhaps it is represented to be worse than it is, for there may be a possibility of the Greeks refusing to be hawked about as a gift to any infant prince who " may be induced to reign over them." AMERICA. Mr Eedgate, one of the owners of the cargo of the Peterhoff, has applied to the court for permission to testify on his own ac- count. The court refused the application on the ground that Mr Redgate, being a citizen of Texas at the time of the secession, must be regarded as an alien enemy. The investigation into the alleged frauds committed in prize cases is to be conducted with closed doors. Mr Vallandigham, ex- member of Congress from Ohio, has been arrested at his residence in Dayton by a detach- ment of soldiers, who battered down the doors of his house to reach his room. His friends endeavoured to rescue him, but he was carried prisoner to Cincinnati. Troops have been sent to Dayton ito keep the peace. General Burnside is said to have ordered his arrest for making disloyal speeches in Ohio! The New York Herald contains the intelligence that General Hooker maintained his new line without important change. He was entrenching himself. General Sedgwick was hotly engaged, the enemy pressing him on all points, and cutting him up badly. His men were obliged to give way constantly before overwhelm- ing masses of the enemy ; and his discomfiture seemed certain, when the Vermont brigade made a brilliant charge, repulsing the Confederates in gallant style, and securing the safety of that por- tion of the army. The slaughter in this action, which occurred in close proximity to Banks Ford, is without parallel in the history of warfare, and considering the number of men engaged ; whole brigades of rebels were literally wiped out, but their force was so many times greater than that at the command of Sedgwick that it was impossible he could hold his position. He, therefore, con- cluded to extricate himself by recrossing the river. This hazard- ous expedient was attempted and successfully carried out. The enemy held positions with their artillery raking the bridges over which Sedgwick was obliged to move his men, necessarily creating some confusion in the Federal ranks as the columns moved over, and causing considerable loss of life. They also pressed hotly upon his rear when they discovered he was retreating, and harassed him incessantly. But he sucoeeded in getting his force over, as above stated, in wonderful good order, and marched im- mediately in the direction of the United States Ford to join the main army under Hooker. General Hooker is reported to have captured ; 6,000, to 15,000 prisoners, and to have lost 6,000 men. Generals " Stonewall" Jackson andHillare said to be dangerously wounded, General Eansom is reported killed. Washington des- patches state that General Heintzelmann's division, 30,000 strong, had left Washington to reinforce General Hooker. The Federal Government intends to enforce the Conscription Act at once. THE VOLUNTEERS.— APPROACHING SHAM FIGHT.— Under the sanction of the War Office and the Lords of the Admiralty, ar- rangements have been made for a combined naval and volunteer demonstration at Southend on Monday, May 25. The gunboats and a detachment of marines stationed at Sheerness will, under the orders of the Commander- in- Chief at the station, Vice- Admiral Sir W. J. Johnstone, co- operate with the volunteer force assembled on the occasion. The guns of the West Essex Yeomanry Cavalry, under the command of Colonel Palmer, will also be in position. The various Essex corps of volunteers and one or two battalions from the metropolis are expected to take part in the manoeuvres, the programme of which includes a sham fight between the marines, who will be landed at the foot of the cliffs, and the force of volunteers, who will be stationed to defend the heights. GEEAT GALE.— On Tuesday morning, about three o'clock, a tremendous gale sprung up from theE. N. E. by N., causing not only injury of a serious nature to many persons but inflicting damage to property to an alarming extent. The trees and shrubs in the parks suffered severely, and several persons were injured by falling branches. Much damage was also done in various parts of London by chimneys being blown down, lead being rolled off roofs, & c. A number of accidents, but, fortunately, none fatal, occurred through these and similar casualties. On in- quiry it was ascertained that, owing to the fury of the gale, seve- ral vessels had been detained in the Pool, and a telegraphic mes- sage had been received stating that it was advisable not to allow the Margate steamer Magician to start for that place, as the weather there was truly alarming. The vessels in the Pool were extensively injured, and in many instances the spars, & c, were torn away. Above Blackwall the gale was felt most severely, and off Woolwich a small boat was swamped, and two men were only saved from drowning through the exertions of some persons from the shore. Between Westminster and Vauxhall a barge laden with coal was driven from its moorings, and, notwithstanding every effort made, sunk in deep water. Near Chelsea two sailing vessels came into collision, and one, the Union, was seriously damaged. At Thames- bank a large quantity of timber lying off a wharf was driven from its fastenings, and dashed with much force against some small boats, which were greatly injured. The fury of the gale was so great at one time that it was only with the utmost difficulty and danger that the steamers could" make headway, and the temporary footway across the river at Hunger- ford was felt to shake under the violence of the wind. At high tide the water was forced up over the low- lying shores at Lam- beth and Wandsworth, and immense damage done. From the accounts received the gale has been felt severely at Hertford and Hoddesdon. and other places on the Great Eastern line, and the trains considerably delayed. At the various hospitals persons were attended, having met with injuries, but nothing further of a serious nature has been ascertained. At many places along the coast, too, the damage was most serious. RUNNING FOUL OF A LIGHTHOUSE.— The temporary light- house, stage, and piling which marked the site of one of the Spithead forts on the Noman Shoal was discovered at daylight on Thursday morning to have disappeared from its position, and all that could be discovered of it was a few logs floating on the edge of the shoal. Subsequent information has, however, cleared up the mystery. It appears that tbe Danish galliot Carl August, which has arrived at Southampton from Dantsic, ran foul of the piles and staging at about thirty minutes past one on Thursday morning, and carried the whole away. A man and a boy who lived in a cabin on the staging, and attended to the lights, were picked up by| the boat of the galliot, and taken on to Southampton. The galliot, by the collision, carried away her bowsprit and jib- beom, stanchions, rail, and bulwarks, and received other minor damages. She was in charge of a pilot at the time, and the master of the galliot states that he saw the light on the staging distinctly prior to the vessel striking it, but the pilot had charge, It is supposed that the piles must have been somewhat loosened by the late heavy N. E. gale, otherwise it would seem almost im- possible for a small craft of only about 100 tons to make a clean sweep of such a mass of piles and staging. THE CITY POLICE.— Colonel James Fraser has been elected Com- missioner of Police in the City, in the place of the late Mr D. W. Harvey. He served some 30 years in the army, and in 1856, on his retirement, was elected Chief Constable for Berks.

MONDAY.— METROPOLITAN RAILWAYS.— Lord GRAN- VILLE, in reply to Lord Stratheden, said he could not hold out any hope that the Government would appoint a commission to inquire into the subject of metropolitan railways until they had an opportunity of considering the report of the select committee now sitting upon the subject. AMERICAN PRIZE COURTS.— Lord CLANEICARDE, in moving for copies of any reports of decisions of the prize courts of the United States, animadverted on the spirit evinced by the capture of our merchant ships by United States cruisers as not only unfriendly, but contrary to international law. He insisted on the propriety of Her Majesty's Government taking action in the matter, as, owing to these repeated seizures, it was impossible to effect insurances on ships trading to the western hemisphere, except under ruinous rates. He saw no prospects of an end to these captures unless more energetic measures were caken by the Government. He referred to the seizure of the Labuan, the Adela, the Springbok, the Dolphin, and the Peterhoft'as clearly illegal and contrary to international law. The procedure in the Ame- rican prize courts was also, in his opinion, not satisfac- factory.— Lord RUSSELL defended the American Government from the charge of violating international law, declaring that Mr Seward had always acknowledged its force, and said that there must be a certain and legal cause of capture before a ship was taken. Admiral Milne had been instructed to protect vessels from unjustifiable seizure in the neighbourhood of Matamoras, although it did not appear that the American cruisers had done any great injury to the trade of that port, as its harbour was crowded with ships. He vindicated the justice and imparti- ality of the United Siates prize courts, and stated that on refer- ring their decisions to the law officers of the Crown no rational ground of objection could be found against them. No doubt many swift vessels were employed in running the blockade, the owners of which, if their ships were seized, put on airs of injured innocence, and demanded redress of the Foreign Office. In al- luding t ® the Alabama, he denied that she had been fitted up with the cognizance of the Government, and repudiated the idea of any wish on our part to interfere unfairly in the struggle now going on.— Lord DEEBY concurred with Lord Russell's remarks on not imputing partiality to the American prize courts. We ought also, he considered, to make allowance for the very natural irritation felt in America at the breaking of the blockade and supplying the wants of the Confederates.— After a few words from Lord CP. AN- WOETH, the motion was withdrawn. TUESDAY— THE COMMON PRAYER- BOOK AND LORD EBURY.— Lord EBUBY. in moving the second reading of the Acts of UniformityAmendment Bill, stated that theobject of the measure was to repeal the clause imposing on the clergy of the Church of England the necessity of subscribing their assent to the Articles and everything that was in the Prayer- book. The law in its pre- sent state was neither a benefit nor a safeguard to the Church, but pressed heavily on the consciences of many who had subscribed to the declaration, and prevented many hundreds of young men from entering the ministry of the Established Church.— The Arch- bishop of CANTERBURY opposed the bill, as unnecessary and unde- sired by the majority of the clergy. He moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months.— The bill was supported by the Bishop of London, the Bishop of St David's, and Lord Grey; and opposed by Lord Lyttelton, the Bishop of Oxford, and the Bishop of Lichfield, while the Bishop of Llandaff hoped that some middle course would be suggested which would save the consciences of those who objected to the declaration.— On a divi- sion the motion for the second reading was rejected, the numbers being— Forthe second reading, 50; against, 90— Majority, 40. So the bill was lost. The house then adjourned for the Whitsuntide holidays. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— THE PRISON MINISTERS BILL was read a third time and passed, after a division, in which the numbers were 196 to 167. SUPPLY.— THE DOVER MAIL CONTRACT.— In supply, Mr PEEL, on moving a vote of £ 956,878 for the packet service, explained the nature ef the several contracts, and entered very fully into the history of Mr J. G. Churchward's contract and its incidents, in order to state the reasons for including in the vote provision for payments to Mr. Churchward for the conveyance of mails between Dover and Calais and Dover and Ostend from the lst of April, 1863, to the 20th of June 186- 3, but excluding any pay- ment in respect of the period subsequent to the latter date to Mr Churchward, or to any person claiming through him by virtue of a contract dated the 26th of April, 1859, between him and the Board of Admiralty. The question for the committee, he ob- served, was whether, taking into consideration the whole of the transaction, and what was due to the purity of the public service and the honour and dignity of the house, they would or would not continue the payments to Mr Churchward under the contract of 1859. He stated, in conclusion, the steps the Government had taken to provide for the service in the event of the committee adopting his proposal.— Sir S. NOBTHCOTE, in order to raise the question as to the contract of 1859, moved to omit from the vote all the words relating to Mr Churchward. He reviewed the salient points of the case, pointing out the legal position of the Government in relation to the contract by their present form of proceeding, ahd the unfair position in which Mr Churchward was placed. He warned the Government that they were bringing about a collision between the House of Commons and the courts of law, inflicting serious damage upon Mr Church- ward, and establishing a precedent which would make it impos- sible to get a contractor to enter into a contract; and all without the prospect of any solid advantage, and without, as he con- tended, any evidence of corrupt considerations influencing the contract.— Mr BOUVEBIE objected to the amendment in point of form, observing, however, that Sir S. Northcote was not the original offender, as the vote in its present shape raised a question inconsistent with the functions of a committee of supply— Mr MALINS argued that the Government were bound by the contract, and were not at liberty to repudiate it.— Mr COBDEN said the question lay in a nutshell; it turned entirely upon the evidence of Capt Carnegie. He spoke to a conversation with Mr Church- ward, who, he said, proposed to him at the Admiralty to give him his support at the Dover election, the promise being coupled with the condition of his having a renewal of his contract. The question was whether he was credible. The committee were dis- posed to believe Capt Carnegie. Here, then, was an attempt to suborn a public functionary; to induce him to accept a bribe ; it meant that or it meant nothing. If Mr Churchward had a legal claim, he should be left to establish it in a court of law.— Sir H. CAIENS dwelt upon the irregularity of the proceeding taken by the Government in a committee of supply, and of the prejudice it would have upon the case of Mr Churchward if he should be driven to a court of law. As to the committee of 1860, he thought the time would come when its report would be looked at with amaze. He hoped, for the sake of order, of public ad- vantage and expediency, and of justice, that the house would accept the amendment.— Mr HUBBAED observed, with regard to the charge against Mr Church ward, that where there was a balance of evidence of one man's against another's, it was impossible to say the charge was proved; and that men were not to be punished by breaking contracts with them.— The SOLICITOB- GENEBAL said various questions of form had been raised and various personal questions; but there was one question more important than all which lay at the bottom— namely, whether the control of Parlia- ment over the public expenditure in contracts of this peculiar character was to be a substantial or an illusory one. He protested, on the part of the public, against the doctrine that where the payment was to be made out of moneys voted by Parliament, it would be a breach of faith if the house determined, upon the merits of the case, not to ratify a contract. Under the circumstances of this case the Government could not, he contended, have taken any other course, in deference to a decision of the house in 1860, than to bring this matter before a committee of supply ; and the form in which it was presented would furnish a complete answer to an action upon the contract. He discussed the general merits of the case, calling attention to the principal dates and to the circum- stances of the extension of the contract being on the eve of a gene- ral election, and maintained that, upon the merits of the case, the house would be justified in repudiating the contract, though satis- fied that the members of the Government of the day acted on public grounds.— Upon a division the amendment was negatived by 176 to 168. The vote was then agreed to. THE THAMES EMBANKMENT ( North side) BILL and THE VACCINATION ( Ireland) BILL were read a third time, and passed, The house then went into committee upon the Offences ( South Africa) Bill, the New Zealand Boundaries Bill, the Land Drainage ( Provisional Orders) Bill, and the Salmon Fisheries ( Scotland) Act Continuance Bill. TUESDAY- RELIGIOUS ENDOWMENTS IN IRELAND. — Mr DILLWYN moved for a select committee to inquire how far the present distribution of endowments for religious purposes throughout Ireland may be so amended as most to conduce to the welfare of all classes of Her Majesty's Irish subjects; to search the journals of this house for any resolutions passed since the act of the 39th and 40th George III., cap. 67, having reference to the ap- plication of any surplus revenue arising from ecclesiastical en- dowments in Ireland ; and to report how far such resolution or resolutions appear to have been subsequently carried into effect.— Mr H. SEYMOUB moved an amendment that instead of a com- mittee an address should be presented to Her Majesty for a royal commission to inquire into the affair. This led to a long debate, which was ultimately adjourned. AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.— Lord PALMEBSTON obtained leave to bring in a bill to carry into effect an additional article to the treaty of the 7th of April, 1862, between Her Majesty and the United States of America, for the suppression of the African slave trade.— The house then adjourned for the Whitsuntide holidays. A NABEOW ESCAPE.— Having received intimation that a tiger had killed a bullock in a patch of jungle near Rajghat on the Jumna, three Nimrods, more valiant than discreet, started on foot a few mornings ago, determined to carry out their plans at any risk. Holding in derision the usual mode of going on elephants, with a battery of guns within reach, they found their way to the forest on foot, each armed with a double- barreled rifle. Sportsmen in the Sewalick Hills are almost invariably followed by natives with spare guns, as in the case of the first missing there is generally time to take the second gun, and if not kill, at least turn the animal from you. Even this precaution was neglected. The consequence was that they stumbled on a tiger, which very sosn managed to get the better of one of them. Major Brownlow, of the Saharanpore Canals, received very severe injuries in various places, and is now under medical treat- ment. It seems that, as they were walking a few paces apart from each other, Lieutenant St John, who was a little ahead, observed the tiger about a dozen yards off in the bushes. He fired his right barrel, then his left, one ball wounding the animal very desperately, it having entered his neck near the shoulder and passed into his body; yet it was not sufficient to prevent his rushing towards the sportsmen. As he approached within a few paces of Major Brownlow he fired, and then some- what at random, for the ball whistled harmlessly by. In a second or two the tiger was upon him, and, striking him with his paw at once laid him prostrate. Lieutenant J now advanced to his friend's rescue. He had discharged both barrels, and the only resource left him was to lay hold of the muzzle of the gun, and give the beast heavy knocks on the head with the butt— a feat which he performed in a manner that Milo, who, according to the historians of his time, could floor an ox with his clenched fist, might have envied. The blows were dealt with tremendous force, and had the desired effect of forcing the tiger to leave his intended victim and retreat, though at a very slow pace, into the adjoining thickets, where he was soon lost to view. This was, indeed, a providential escape, and though severely mauled the sportsman who came to grief will soon be able " to take the field'' again, if he should be still inclined to risk life and limb in another ad- venture of this sort.— Times of India. ASSAULTING A PASSENGEE UPON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.— At the Guildhall, Doncaster, May 14, Robert Broad- bent Trotter, described as of Newcastle, was summoned for assaulting Mr Champion Wetton, 17, Queen- street, City, London; and also under a bye- law of the Great Northern Railway for inter- fering with his comfort as a passenger. On the evening of the 17th of March, Mr Wetton, a member of the firm of Bunnet and Co., the engineers, was a first- class passenger from London to York by the five o'clock down train. As far as Doncaster he had a carriage to himself, and occupied the centre seat with bis back to the engine. On arriving at Doncaster, the defendant and four others, who had all been at Doncaster races, entered the carriage in a rough and ungentlemanly manner. As soon as the train started, the defendant, who was add essed by the others as " Cap- tain,'' asked Mr Wetton if he objected to smoking. Mr Wetton replied that he did; whereupon all the party grossly insulted Mr Wetton, the defendant putting his fist in Mr Wetton's face, and declaring with an oath that he would smoke in spite of him. No smoking, however, took place; but the defendant and his party pulled out a pack of cards, and spreading a rug over Mr Wetton's knees, said they would make a card table of him. Mr Wetton pushed the rug off several times, but it was replaced and held by the others. The foot- warmer was pulled from under Mr Wetton, and reared against his leg. This was repeated several times. The defendant and his companions used most abusive lan- guage, and insultingly asked Mr Wetton to " sup" with them out of a bottle. At Knottingley Mr Wetton complained to the clerk in charge, and afterwards reported the matter to the directors.— Mr Woodhead addressed the court for the defendant, contending that there had been no assault; and that whatever discomfort Mr Wetton had sustained he brought upon himself by his own un- willingness to accommodate his fellow passengers.— Two of the defendant's companions ( one from Newcastle and another from York) were called on his behalf.— At the close of the case Mr Walker said the magistrates were unanimously of opinion it was their duty to convict the defendant in each case in the full penalty of 40s and costs. Mr Walker afterwards added that he was re- quested by his brother magistrates to say— and he quite con- curred— that the public were much indebted to Mr Wetton for having brought this oase forward. THE DRAMA. HER MAJESTY'S THEATEE.— The very pretty comic opera of " La Figlia del Eeggimento" was revived at this house for the debut of Mdlle Artot, a pupil of Madame Viardot Garcia, on Tuesday. The lady achieved a most decided suc- cess. She is in every way a great acquisition to the corps of this establishment. Her voice is a mezzo- soprano of rare compass, and has been legitimately trained in the very best school extant. She sings with an ease and power not attained by ordi- nary vocalists, and her fioriture and cadenzas are as daring as they are brilliant. Mdlle Artot is no novice on the lyrical stage, her acting being replete with the necessary intelligence and viva- city required in the lively part of Maria, the Vivandiere. Her singing of the air " Ciascun lo dice" was so effective as to call for its immediate repetition, an honour which was likewise accorded to the trio in the second act, owing to the elegant method in which she both sang and acted it. At the close of the first act, where she takes leave of the regiment who surround her, nothing could possibly surpass the pathos with which she invested the simple " Convien partir," and the applause which followed sprung from the evident appreciation by the audience of the new prima donna's high artistic capabilities. Signor Bettini was satisfactory as the lover, Tonio, and Signor Zucchini humorous enough as the Sergeant Sulpizio. The band played throughout the opera with increasing care and judgment, and executed the lovely waltz movement in the second act with happy effect. ROYAL ITALIAN OPEBA.— The opera of " Martha" would have gone off' flatly enough on the first night of its performance this season, had it not been for the finished singing and the charm- ing manner and style of Signor Mario in the part of Lionel. Upon no previous occasion as he thrown more feeling or tender- ness into the taking " M'appari,'' or into his part of the lovely quartet " Dormi piu." The Marta of the evening was a Mdlle Elvira Demi, who made her first appearance, but her singing and acting were throughout so charmless that we refrain from expres- sing any further opinion upon her. Madame Didiee revelled in her old character of Nancy, and sang all the music allotted to the part with her usual good taste. Signor Graziani made his entree for the season as Plunkett, and came back to us with his noble voice unimpaired and melodious as ever. He obtained a genuine encore for the hearty way in which he sang the song in praise of beer, which opens the third act of the opera. Signor Tagliafico was diverting as Tristano, and Signor Zelger as the Scherifo sufficiently pompous. Mdlle Salvioni, Mdlle Dumilatre, and M Desplaces were seen to advantage in a pas de trois, executed in the capitally appointed scene of the statute fair. HAYMABKET THEATRE.—" Finesse; or, Spy and Counterspy" is the name of a new comedy produced at this theatre, and which was so favourably received on the first night of its performance as to justify the management in regarding it as a success. This new venture is from the pen of the Countess of Gifford ( late Lady Dufferin), a granddaughter of the author of " The School for Scandal." There is a considerable amount of humour in some of the scenes, and some of the dramatis persona are depicted with a keen sense of character and idiosyncrasy. The plot is rather too complex, and relates to the political intrigues which followed one another at the time of the Sicilian revolution in 1811. DrBertrand ( Mr A. Wigan) is a master in the art of finesse, and delights in confounding the schemes of others. Believing his son to be dead, owing to his being shot as a deserter, hevowsvengear. ee against Bonaparte. He watches a conspiracy, and conspires himself, and employs as a spy one Jules d'Artigny ( MrW. Farren), who proves to be the doctor's own son, and who accepts the officein order to save his father from harm. The son is really involved in great danger, and when the doctor discovers this fact, he learns the true relation the young man bears to him. In the end, however, he contrives to escape, and brings the real offenders to justice, owing to the abdica- tion of the Neapolitan monarch. MrWigan is an intriguing wily old Frenchman speaking broken English, and his assumption is life- like and amusing as ever. Mrs Wigan plays a servant who has a horror of foreigners, and conveys her notion of them and their ways in the most natural way possible. Miss Angell and Mr Howe have two small parts to play as Laura Brandon and Captain Mortimer, two lovers ; and Mrs Wilkins, as a baroness, is very good. Two of the best played characters in the comedy are Baron Freitenhausen and Mr John Poppleton, both of which personages are admirably delineated by Mr Chippendale and Mr Buckstone, the one being a half crazy alchemist, the other a young would- be mariner. The scene between these two towards the end of the comedy is decidedly the most telling of the whole. With judicious pruning and a few alterations the piece may hold its own for a certain term, but we fear no longer. OLYMPIC THEATRE.— Mr Tom Taylor has a new play almost ready for this house, to be entitled " The Ticket of Leave," and in it are to appear Miss Hughes, Miss Kate Saville, Miss Raynham, Mrs Stevens, Mr Atkins, and Mr H. Neville. CRYSTAL PALACE.— As usual at Whitsuntide, popular amuse- ments and sports adapted to the season will be given daily during the week. The large attendance of holiday folks at this time last year has induced extraordinary provision for the coming week. On Monday Mr Coxwell makes an ascent in his mammoth balloon, to which so much public interest is now attached, from tbe graphic accounts which have appeared in the papers of the intrepid scientific ascents of Mr Glaisher for the British Associa- tion. Besides the ordinary musical arrangements, comprising the orchestral band of the company and the great organ, the band of the Coldstream Guards will also aid in the great performances of popular music which will be given on the Handel Orchestra. Interspersed with the music, a variety of amusing performances will be given by the two celebrated French clowns, Arthur and Bertrand, whose gambols were so well received last Easter; the Elliott Family; Chadwick, the grotesque: Barnes, the champion vaulter, who has been known to throw upwards of ninety somer- saults in succession; and Silvani, the extraordinary leaper. As no holiday fete at the Crystal Palace is considered complete without Mackney, he will add to the amusements by a selection of his whimsicalities and imitations. On Whit- Monday and Tuesday the Palace will be open for admission from eight in the morning until eight in the evening, thus giving a long day for those dis- posed to ramble about the grounds and take part also in the out- door amusements which are so plentifully distributed about the lower part of the grounds and park. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SYSTEMATIC BURGLARS.— At Marlborough- street, on Wednes- day, Roderick O'Lochlin ( alias Benjamin Johnson, alias Charles Grayston), but whose real name is said to bt Hart, and George Hewitt ( alias Wallis, alias Bennett, alias Groves), charged with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling- house of Lord Chesham, 19, Grosvenor- square, and stealing a large quantity of jewellery, watches, and antiques, of the value of about £ 2,000, were again brought before Mr Tyrwhitt, a second charge being preferred by Inspector Steer, of the D division, of breaking and entering the house of Mr John Laurie, 10, Hyde Park- terrace, and stealing a quantity of property, consisting of a gold cup, a gold snuff bex, the gift of the Emperor Napoleon, & c, on the night of the 29th April last. Lord Chesliam and his daughter were present, and were accom- modated with seats on the bench. From the fact that the pri- soners are known to belong to a notorious gang, the greatest interest was felt in the proceedings.— Mr Morgan said the only additional evidence that day would be proof of former convictions. — A constable, named Cook, proved a conviction against Hewitt for uttering a forged note, when he had four years' penal servitude, and another constable proved a conviction against O'Lochlin. The prisoners were then committed for trial. — Mr Morgan said that he charged the prisoners with breaking and entering the dwelling- house of Mr John Laurie, of 10, Hyde Park- terrace, on the night of the 29th of April last, and stealing a quantity of valuable property, but as that case was not quite complete, he must ask for a " remand for a week.— Mr Tyrwhitt granted the application.— It appears that the property at Mr Laurie's was all safe at eleven at night, and the next morn- ing it was discovered that the premises had been burglariously entered, an entrance having been gained by forcing the rails to the kitchen window. A tarred rope and screwdriver were left behind, and from a cellaret which had been forced open a quan- tity of valuable property had been taken. Three men were seen near the previous night as if reconnoitring, and on the night of the burglary three men were seen sitting on the step of the next house by Mr James Coachman. Sergeant White, D division, on going to the lodging of Hewitt found a jemmy, which the woman whom Hewitt cohabited with tried unsuccessfully to secrete, and on Inspector Steer comparing the jemmy with the marks on Mr Laurie's cellaret he found them to correspond exactly. A notice- able feature in the two cases is that a screw was taken from the locks of the kitchen doors at both houses, so that the burglars might thus gain admission to the interior, and that tarred ropes were used in both instances. THE MARKETS CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE.— FRIDAY. The reports from all parts of the United Kingdom speai of the great change that has taken place in the appearance of the growing crops since the late rains. The supply of farmers' Wheat has been on the in- crease at most of the country markets held this week, and the condition has been pretty fair. The trade generally has shown no signs of reco- very from last week, but prices, except in an occasional Instance or so, have been fairly maintained for the best kinds. Barley and Beans met a good Inquiry at fully late currencies. Oats have not sold so well. The aggregate quantity of English Wheat arrived at Mark- lane this week has been unusually short, and very limited of other articles. The Imports of foreign produce have been middling. The market was quiet to- day for English and Foreign Wheat, but full prices realised. In Flour not much passing, prices being the same as on Monday. Barley steady in price and demand. Oats not in better request, still the best corn made fully late currencies.

EPSOM RACES. Stewards: Hon Admiral Eoas, Lord Coventry, C. Alexander, A. Heathcote, and C. H. Carew, Esqs. Clerk of the Course : Mr H. Dorling. Judge: Mr Clark. Clerk of the Scales: Mr J. Manning. From the days of old, even beyond the time when in Pindaric strains Phrenicus, ridden by his royal owner Hiero, King of Syra- cuse, is chronicled the winner of the Olympic crown— not the only royal jockey on record, for Philip, King of Macedon, piloted his own brother to Bucephalus—" the horse and his rider'' has been a favourite theme with the classic and heroic pacts. And how little the subject has lost its charm in these days is attested by the fact of the unvarying enthusiasm evoked by the celebra- tion of the Derby Meeting. On the last anniversary someadditional eclat was imparted to the proceedings from the circumstance of its being the " Exhibition year," and had a " fillip" this year been re- quired it was most welcomely accorded by the Prince of Wales signifying his intention of attending theDerby. This isnotthefirst time his royal highness has shown the warm interest he takes in the national sport, and we gladly hail the auspicious circumstance, for by mixing up heart and soul with the people in their na- tional recreations lie wins his way to honourable and universal popularity. The horses that have figured from time to time in the Derbv quotations would imply that it has been a good betting race, for among those that have appeared in the returns since the last an- nniversary may be enumerated the following:— Michael Scott, Melrose, Early Purl, The Beau, Giles the First, Deerswood, Queen Bertha, Clarior, the Physalis colt, Rapid Rhone, Light Bob, Auto- maton, Avenger, Onesander, Saccharometer, Sea King, Lord Clifden, Pratique, Carnival, Macaroni, Jarnicoton, Hospodar, Batsman, Baldwin, Muffler, Trojanus, Erin go Bragh, Blue Mantle, Taje, Tom Fool, National Guard, Count Cavour, Donny- brook, Bright Cloud, Tambour Major, King of Utopia, Dunkeld, Overstone, Wolclga, The Gillie, Muezzin, Dunsinane, Avondale, Fantastic, Golden Pledge, Jerry, Munich, Newsmonger, King of the Vale, Cairncastle, The Ranger, Poland, Newchurch, Escape, Stockman, Safeguard, Scamander, Flibustier, and Blondin. Of these some have been little more than " put up'' and put down again, some " nibbled at" throughout, and some backed heavily. Both John Scott's " lot" and Lord Glasgow's " lot" were supported during the winter for some money, but perhaps the Wizard of the North never had a more unpromising team, and the lot were pared down finally into very small compass ; while of Lord Glas- gow's lot we may remark that the hopes of the backers of the same were considerably impaired when Light Bob proved lame, and was struck out the end of last week. How others came and went it boots not to tell; the mishap of Au- tomaton is as it were an affair of yesterday, and Lord Stamford's hopes were thereby as ruthlessly crushed as they were in the Two Thousand by a similar mischance to Brick, for whom that, race was esteemed a certainty. Of former owners of successful Derby horses, neither Sir Joseph Hawley or Mr Merry retained a single candidate this year, both " lots" being among the " struck out" division. Of those that remained in the wagering and took part in the race it will suffice to state, by way of a reminder, that Lord Clifden and Saccharometer were for months " neck and neck" in the betting, but during the winter his lordship took a clear lead, which he steadily retained. How Macaroni passed Saccharometer in the betting after his Two Thousand victory and become second favourite needs scarcely alluding to. Suffice it to note that at the Harpenden Meeting the Two Thousand win- ner had unmistakeably the call of Lord Clifden. Brief mention, too, need we make of how The Gillie came to be esteemed by the friends and followers of the Woodyeates stable as good a thing as Alvediston had been for last year's Two Thousand, or how Hos- podar came again after his ignominious display in this year's Two Thousand— a race that brought King of the Vale into note as well; or how National Guard—" touched in the pipes"— beat a retreat to the dismay of his numerous backers; how Scamander came with a rush after Bath, or finally how Fantastic—" knocked out" at Chester, on the rumour of a break down and cracked heel, to 1,000 to 2— came again to a short price. This hasty glimpse of the principal incidents in connection with the betting brings us to " the Saturday" before the Derby, and in reference to the doings that day we may summarily remark that Lord Clifden was again a far better favourite than Macaroni, for after 500 to 100 had been laid, 9 to 2 was only offered, while 6 to 1 at the close was offered against Mr Naylor's horse. Frequent offers were made to take 10 to 1 about Saccharometer, but backers were eventually compelled to accept a point less. A hostile movement was made against The Gillie, while Hospodar was invested on at 10 to 1, and during this state of things Mr Jackson offered to bet an even " monkey" that " The Gillie was not within ten lengths of the winner." This was followed up by his laying 1,200 to 1,000 three times on Hospodar against him. Presently, however, a reaction took place, and Hospodar left off at offers of 12 to 1. A point over this was taken about King of the Vale, and 16 to 1 about Sca- mander. Tom Fool had no admirers at 100 to 6, while a good deal of money went on Fantastic at 40 to 1. The following list exhibits the state of the market at the close of the week :— 9 to 2 agst Lord Clifden ( off? Debbt' 6 to 9 to 11 to 12 to 18 to 16 to 100 to 25 to 28 to 1 Macaroni ( oft') 1 Saccharoiueter( off) 1 The Gillie ( off) 1 Hospodar ( off) 1 King of the Vale ( t) 1 Scamander ( tk) 6 Tom Fool ( off) 1 Ranger ( off) 1 .

As the betting that took place did not exhibit the slight- est change of any consequence, we may dismiss the doings with the remark that 9 to 2 was booked about the favourite to a " cen- tury," that 2 to 1 was betted that Macaroni— about whom 1,800 to 300was once booked— beats The Gillie 1, 2, 3; that Saccharometer was somewhat firmer, 1,800 to 200 being booked in one bet about him, and that Fantastic was still in increased favour. For the Oaks 7 to 4 was offered against Lord Stamford lot, and 8 to 1 against anything else. There was a considerable attendance on Monday, and a good deal of comparing was gone through. The early and principal movement of the afternoon in connection with the Derby was the driving back of Macaroni, who, on the rumour of having " pulled up lame," was frequently operated against, and at one time as much as twenty ponies was laid against him. His friends, however, speedily came to the rescue, and on the as- surance that he was " all right'' he was soon '' backed back'' again, leaving off' finally at 7 to 1 ( taken). At first 3 to l was the highest offer against Lord Clifden, while 7 to 1 was repeatedly booked about Baecharometer, but on Macaroni coming again to his old price half a point more was offered on the field, and 7 to 1 was currently offered against Lord Strathmore's colt. King of the Vale was supported at 13 and 14 to 1, while at the former price Hospodar was quite friendless. The Gillie, too, was somewhat out of favour, and from offers of 10 to 1 declined three points, but Scamander was very steady at 16 to 1, and Fantastic sprang forward to 25 to 1 ( taken freely). Blue Mantle advanced from l, 000to 15 to50 to 1, at which price the metallics were em- ployed upon Golden Pledge and King of Utopia. THE DEBET.

" OAKS.— Pocchini, Queen of Beauty, Fiancee, Neilgherry, Gar- dener's Daughter, and all Lord Glasgow's except the Brown Bess filly." To the Derby scratchings were subsequently added:— Melrose, Uewchurch, Nugget, and The Beau. Up to Monday morning King of the Vale and Golden Pledge were the only Derby arrivals that were located at Epsom, " Scott's lot," as usual, being at Vale Lodge. In the afternoon, however, the touts were all on the qui vive, for both the first and second favourites made their appearance, the former having a strong body guard of Lord St Vincent's special retainers. Other Derby candidates afterwards came in, including Blue Mantle and National Guard, and Epsom assumed a more bustling appearance. Touching " the crack" we may remark that Messrs Robson and Tidy had received a communication from the superintendent of police as to the perpetrators of the outrage at Telscombe, and a general hope was expressed that the scoundrels and their still more villanous employers would be brought to justice. Of this however, further anon. It was a dreary prospect for the meeting so far as weather and enjoyment were concerned on Tuesday morning, for the wind blew a perfect hurricane, and during the night had rent to shivers the covering of many of the booths. New canvas was procured for some, but others remained in a state of hopeless dilapidation. The gale meantime continued, rendering it absolutely neces- sary for those in exposed situations to " hold on," while at intervals the rain fell in driving showers. This state of things of course contributed materially to thin the attendance of what is usually called " general company," although it had no effect upon professionals and regular habitues, who care as little for the weather as a seagull. Outside, however, there was a scanty muster of spectators, but the course was considerably benefited by the recent rains, and hopes were entertained of better weather on the morrow. The " inner enclosure" had been considerably altered since the Spring Meeting, and by the new arrangement there was less difficulty of those in the outer ring communicating with those in the " magic circle," as the frontage of the rails was considerably extended, while, as suggested by us after the Spring Meeting, one gate was formed for ingress and another for egress, thereby obviating much unnecessary confusion and crowding. Of the entered ten for the Craven Stakes Flibustier was the only absentee, and of the others Atherstone at the finish was backed at evens, and Adventurer at 4 to 1 and 9 to 2. The City and Suburban winner, however, achieved an easy victory, which led to a fierce demonstration on Borealis for the Oaks, 5 to 1 being taken very freely about her. The Heathcote Plate was next brought to issue with eleven runners, of whom Miss Julia and Welland were in most esteem; for although Livingstone opened at 2 to 1, he receded to 5 to 1. This, however, did not militate against his success, for the speedy Miss Julia was overhauled by the scion of Fandango, and failed by a neck in repeating her last year's success. The Brighton Stakes attracted a field of eighteen to the post, of whom favouritism was awarded to Creole, next in esteem being Liston and Walloon. The glorious un- certainty was, however, once more made manifest, and Drummer Boy. scarcely backed for a shilling, defeated the little- fancied Libellous after a close race, bookmakers, for the most part, having " skinned the lamb." Luck, so far, was " dead in'' against the favourites, and so it was for a time fated to continue. Molly Carew, having no penalty to carry, was esteemed a good thing for the Woodoote Stakes, which last year witnessed the debut and triumph of theunconquered " twoyear old" Lord Clifden. Molly, however, was not so fortunate for her backers, and the winner over the three quarters of a mile course— possibly a trifle too far for the favourite— turned up in the French bred Fille de l'Air, by Faugh a Ballagh out of Pauline, who had been tried to do a " good thing," and her trainer was therefore proportionately sanguine. The wagering, we may note, was for the most part confined t ® three, " Molly,'' sister to Queen o the Vale, and the winner, the latter of whom was the " worst favourite" of the trio. In the Rous Stakes, which produced half a score runners, Scamander and Miss Armstrong of the re- mainder being reserved for more important engagements, fortune once more attended the bookmakers. It certainly looked a remarkably good thing " on paper" for Gardener, after his Chester Cup running; so thought his backers, who invested on him at 5 to 2; Ace of Clubs, who was in at the same weight ( 7st 71b), being next in esteem. The pair, however, were bowled over by Wingrave, who having to concede them a stone, was un- backed both by his owner and the public generally, and 10 to 1 might have been had about him. Gardener was entered in the name and ran in the colours, or rather the " all white," of Captain Christie, having been sold for just short of " a thou" a day or two before. Fortune favoured the backers of the favour- ite in the Horton Stakes for Dirt Cheap entered it to be sold for £ 40, beat the three opposed to her without difficulty, and was sold for 120gs. The betting on the Derby was not remarkably brisk at any period of the afternoon. Lord Clifden remained at offers of 7 to 2 until after Wingrave's victory, when King of the Vale advanced to 10 to 1, and the Northern Leviathan instantly offered 4,000 to 1,000 on the field, and 4 to 1 thereon became the currentoffer. Macaror. icontinuedatl00tol5( offered); atfirstSto 1 was taken about Saccbarometer, but he receded after the race just referred to— when he took a public canter round the course with David Hughes up— to offers of 9 to 1. Only a point more was obtainable about The Gillie, while no response was made to offers of 100 to 6 agst Hospodar, or 20 to 1 agst Tom Fool. The last- named price was taken about Fantastic several times; of the outside division those most backed were Blue Mantle and King of Utopia, and of the extreme outsiders Baldwin. Borealis was in the ascendant for the Oaks, for which 4 to 1 was offered agst Lady Augusta, and 20 to 1 agst her stable companion Flying Fish. 5 to 1 was booked repeatedly about Mr I'Anson's filly. The others invested on were Miss Armstrong, Old Orange Girl, Isoline, and Gratitude.

The latter showed in advance the instant the flag fell to an excellent start, but only made play for about two hundred yards, when Ather- stone took up the running, succeeded by Brother to Morocco, Comet, and Adventurer. Clear of them, at the three- quarter mile post, were Stockowner and Isoline, in company of Beauvale and Buckenham until rounding Tattenham Corner, when Lord Glas- gow's colt dropped into the rear with Blackdown. Descending the hill Adventurer joined the Baron's horse, and raced with him at the leader's quarters, their immediate followers being Comet and Mr Parr's mare, who, gradually improving her position, en- tered the straight on the inside ground, looking as formidable as anything. On the retirement directly afterwards of Brother to Morocco she took her place at the heels of the favourite to the Stand, opposite which Adventurer, on the whip- hand, full of running, slipped the pair, and won in a canter by three lengths. Isoline, going on to the end, beat Comet a neck for second, At her- stone fourth, finishing clese up with him; Buckenham was fifth, three or four lengths off; Brother to Morocco sixth, Stockowner seventh, Beauvale last.

However, when at length despatched, Miss Julia, as usual, jumped off with the lead, at- tended on the left by Lady Emma and Mysterious Lady, those immediately lying up on the other side being Livingstone, Welland, and Queen of the Vale. Of these, outside the distance, only Welland and Lord Stamford's colt were left to fight it out with the old mare, whom Livingstone caught in the last two strides, and won a magnificent race by a neck; same between se- cond and third. At an interval of half- a- dozen lengths King of the Forest cantered in fourth. Queen of the Vale fifth. Rattler and the Toy filly next, Attractien and Miss Emma being last of all. Run in 51sec.

Anticipations of another fearful " waif in the howling blast were happily relieved by the lot getting away at the first attempt, Lady Fanny having slightly the best of the start, an ad- vantage she improved with almost lightning- like rapidity to eight or ten lengths before they kad gone twice as many yards. At the head of the main body were Suburban, Libellous, Ellerton, Creole, Spicebox, Ossian, and Drummer Boy in a cluster, those behind them soon presenting an enormous tail, without ever taking any part in the race. Thus matters remained to half- way round the bend, when the leader compounded, and eventually dis- appearedabout two distances from home, after which Libellous, go- ing on with the lead, was waited on by Drummer Boy ( rather wide on his right), Ellerton, and Spicebox— Mr Greville's colt, lying by himself next the rails, being next prominent with them to the Stand, whence a fine race with the quartette placed terminated in favour of Mr Naylor's horse, who headed Libellous at the lower end of the enclosure, and defeated him by half a length, while Ellerton, finishing a length from the second, beat Spicebox a head for third ; Lady Fannys was a bad fifth, Suburban sixth, Creole and Ossian next, the last two being Queen of the Vale and Walloon.

Less fortunate than in the pre- vious event, Mr M'George was now nearly three quarters of an hour in effecting a start, chiefly owing to fractiousness. The flag at last falling when the Noumarhal colt was in advance, he made play for a few strides, and then dropping into the ruck, the running was taken up by Procella, followed in a body by Loose Fish, Sister to Queen of the Vale, the favourite, Fille de 1' Air, Alabama, and the Rosina colt, to the straight, where the latter went in front, with a slight advantage of Lord Stamford's colt and Molly Carew, Count Lagrange's filly lying on the whip hand of them. They ran thus to the distance, where the leader was in difficulties, and Fille de l'Air assuming the command, won easily by half a length, the favourite, in an exciting struggle, saving second money a neck over Procella, about a length from whom the Rosina filly finished fourth. War Dance was fifth, six lengths off, Bister to Queen of the Vale sixth, Leose Fish seventh, the rest being widely scattered, with the Nourmahal colt in the far rear. Run in lmin 18sec.

Umpire was first off, but immediately resigned to the favourite, who thence cut out the work, with Gunner at his quarters, succeeded at a clear interval in the order named by Umpire, Ace of Clubs, Prince Plausible, and The Knave, whipped in by Balham. Except that Wingrave im- proved his position on descending the hill, there was no important change until Gunner shot his bolt just previous to turning for the straight, and retired to the rear division, comprising The Knave, Twilight, Tease Me Not, and Balham. The next to give way was Gardener, who near the distance was passed by Prince Plausible, Ace of Clubs, and Wingrave. the former in advance to the Stand, where Wells took the Baron's colours to the fore, and won cleverly by a length ; Prince Plausible being third, a neck from Lord Annesley's horse, who headed him in the last few strides. The favourite was a moderate fourth, and Umpire, running pretty forward t » the half distance, next, a wide gap separating this lot from The Knave, who was sixth, with Twilight at his girths, fol- lowed by Gunner, Balham, and last of all Tease Me Not.

The issue, however, was never in doubt from the distance, where Dirt Cheap answered the call of her rider, and won easily by tt length and a half; the third beaten half a length; Andromeda tailed off.

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 Surrey wards still, And we bless the auspicious occasion That brings us again to The Hill. ORANGE BLOSSOM. It is long since the national sport of Great Britain has stood more in need of a little encouragement than just at the present time. When we look back for the last few weeks or months to the dull dreary way in which the season opened and progressed, culminating, as all this did, with that unmistakeable failure at Chester, the staunchest supporters of the Turf might naturally begin to feel a little anxious. Another royal visit to the Derby could not, consequently, have come at a more welcome period, identifying, as this does, the Prince of Wales yet more and more with the tastes and habits of his people. Few and far between have been the visits of Royalty to Epsom. The Queen has only once honoured the great national festival with her august presence, and that was as long ago as in 1840— Little Wonder's memorable year. The demonstrations of affec- tionate enthusiasm with which the Queen and her royal consort were then greeted by the myriads of her loyal subjects congre- gated on the Downs are still held in lively recollection by all who were present, and can scarcely have escaped the memory of Her Majesty. Since then, however, the Queen has reserved her pa- tronage of the national pastime for the more aristocratic regions of Ascot Heath, and the lamented Prince Consort only once re- peated his visit to Epsom, when, in 1856, he accompanied the Regent of Baden and Prince Frederick William of Prussia, to witness Ellington's victory, the weather then being of the mos*' wretched description, only surpassed in misery and discomfort by that of Daniel O'Rourke's year in 1852, and that of the present occasion. The announcement of the intention cf the Prince of Wales to honour with his presence the present anniversary of the Derby was therefore productive of unbounded and universal satisfaction, being looked upon as an earnest of the intention of his royal highness to patronise and countenance the sport par excellence of the nation. The prince went down " by road" in an open carriage, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Louis of Hesse, Major Teesdale, and Capt Wes- terweller. The royal party were cheered lustily at intervals en route, although from the quiet nature of the " turn out" they es- caped the notice of many who would otherwise have given vent to their expressions of loyalty with more exuberance possibly than good breeding. On arriving at the scene of action his royal highness was at once ushered to : he private stand, when he entered into conversation with " The Admiral," who was evidently engaged in pointing out to him the more salient features of the extraordinary scene before him. It is to be re- gretted, however, that the initiation of the young prince to the Epsom carnival should not have taken place under more favour- able auspices, although we are enabled to state on authority that he expressed himself highly delighted ; and we may indulge in a hope that the rumour circulated is not entirely without founda- tion that the prince is not unlikely soon to have a stud of his own. Certainly, so far as appearances would go, no one appeared to more thoroughly enter upon the business of the scene, lighting up his cigar in defiance of the damp atmo- sphere, and " backing his opinion" upon the result as only an Englishman and a sportsman can do. Still any- thing more utterly dreary than the state of the weather can scarcely be conceived. The rain fell without intermission during the greater part of the journey down, and the usual " humours" of a Derby Day were speedily evaporated by excess of moisture. The procession of carriages as seen from the rail on approaching Epsom looked mournful enough, and the open umbrellas on the tops of the " drags" as seen from a distance imparted to them a somewhat lugubrious resemblance to mourning coaches decorated with the usual plumes. At intervals, it is true, the sky bright- ened, causing delusive hopes to be entertained as to the possi- bility of a fine afternoon, and the first race was actually run in tolerable weather. During the long wait that took place after the Derby horses had gone to the post the rain again began to descend, and before the flag fell for the great event it had set in with a steady pertinacity that meant " staying" for the remainder of the day. Under these untoward circumstances it is not to be wondered at that the Derby of 1863 was shorn of many of the attractions that generally render it the most enjoyable of " days out." The fun, usually " fast and furious," was but tame and spiritless. Chaff there was of course in plenty— good, indifferent, and bad— from the really smart repartee down to the senseless repetition of the idiotic queries that have been called into existence by the music halls. But the wordy warfare flagged wofully, and even the most boisterous and exuberant " shut up" long before reaching town on their comfortless journey home through the drenching rain. The coup d'ceil from the Grand Stand, although necessarily im- posing, was devoid of the animation and picturesque commingling of colours that ordinarily render the celebration of the Derby one of the most beautiful as well as the most extraordinary sights the world can produce. The " Hill,'' usually as variegated as a flower garden, presented on Wednesday a very dull and sombre appearance, tiers of umbrellas contrasting any- thing but pleasantly with the brilliant toilettes which, under more favourable circumstances, the fair occupants of the carriages delight to exhibit. Although the running ground itself was fortunately in tolerable order, the turf on the hill and at the cords soon became converted into a perfect quagmire, through which the hungry and thirsty souls in search of a lunch at a friendly drag had to wade ankle deep before they could come at the coveted comestibles. The attendance, although enormous, exhibited a great falling off from that of late years, there being, according to Mr Dorling's estimate, added to the testimony of the railway authorities, combined with the opinion of Mr Superin- tendent Walker— than whom a more reliable authority can scarcely be found— a diminution of at least a third in the num- bers, both of vehicles and foot people. This considerable deca- dence is however solely to be attributed to the disastrous " skiey influences," and not to any abatement in the popularity of the great day itself. Certainly on no former occasion has the general interest throughout the length and breadth of the land been more excited. During the long and vexatious delay at the post, when upwards of thirty " offers" were made, in all of which Count Batthyany's Tambour Major remained as motionless as the Cheval Bronze, and might to all appearance have been rehearsing for the " Statue scene'' in " Don Giovanni,'' the feverish anxiety of the mass of spectators amounted to a height that was really painful. The race and its result will be found fully detailed below. The defeat of the favourite caused an immense sensation, Lord Clifden having throughout been the " pet of the public." Genuine cheers awaited the wmneron his return to scale, and genuine sympathy was likewise awarded to the popular young nobleman who had so nearly gained the glorious prize. The remaining races attracted but little attention, although " sweeps'' were much in vogue in many of the equipages, and we ourselves heard a highly intelli- gent foreigner vociferating his delight at having drawn an " in- sider," the " moosoo" having been informed that his horse did not belong to the " outside lot." The majority of the spectators de- voted themselves with great unanimity to refreshing the " inner man.'' Amidst a popping of champagne corks that reminded one of a volunteer inspection in Hyde Park, winners exulted over their gains, and losers dismissed reflection until the morrow. Getting off the course was attended with considerable difficulties, the roads having become in a most dreadful condition. There were therefore several " breaks down,'' and some most complicated " blocks,'' the delay consequent thereon scarcely improving tem- pers, already aggravated by the pouring rain. We must not how- ever, further anticipate, and will now proceed to the business de- tails of the day. l'he Epsom' Town Plate attracted little notice, and, like the lightly esteemed bagatelle which precedes an entertainment in which the " star'' of the night is about to appear, the multitude allowed the horses to run unheeded, while bookmakers for the most part looked upon it as an interruption to the betting on the Derby. The result was a " turn up" for them nevertheless, for very few succeeded in laying a shilling against Selection, who beat the selected Merry Maid by half a length. Scarcely were the numbers up announcing the three placed for this race than speculation was proceeded with vigorously on the all- important event, and while the Ring exhibited a scene of increasing excite- ment, a large portion of the spectators quitted the Stand and enclosure to inspect the Derby horses in the Paddock. Here there was continually hurrying to and fro as backers sought out their several champions, or a running rumour told of how a crack was to be seen in this or that corner. One of tbe first horses that we encountered was that of the Premier of England, and it would certainly have been a high day could Lord Palmerston have won the Derby on the occasion of the Prince of Wales' first visit to Epsom. But a look at Baldwin was amply sufficient to dispel any such an illusion, and one could but marvel the more at that continual commission which Thomas, the janitor of Tattersall's room, has had to lay out on this strangely fancied outsider. A great coarse half prepared horse, Baldwin, to the eye, was more like a travelling country stallion than a Derby favourite, though with certain useful points about him that " time" alone can refine or properly develope. Another son of Rataplan said still less for his sire. This was Count Batthyany's Tambour Major, an ungainly, heavy shouldered, sulky, sheepish looking brute, that it was pain- ful to think such a horseman as Wells was engaged for, and that only turned out rather worse than he promised. Another of the big ones is Trojanus, considerably improved, however, and with a certain old- fashioned stamp about his forehand, that goes to carry off the ill effect of his mere height and size. Handy here is the mysterious Ranger, a light, lathy- built nag, but standing very upright before, and evincing unmistakeable evi- dence that, so far as he was concerned, the rain had scarcely come soon eneugh. There is a deal more use about Golden Pledge, a capital horse to follow, with rare hocks and thighs, that ought to serve him through deep ground. Not so the heavily- backed Tom Fool, a slight small colt, all flash and fashion, that does not seem to have grown an inch or an ounce anywhere, and if anything can serve him here it must be that beautiful bounding stride and rare hind- leg action, though surely such a horse might have been backed at pounds to pennies for winning the Two Thousand against his doing anything of the kind for the Derby ! On the lower side of the field, and calmly follow- ing Mr Naylor's second horse, we meet the veritable winner of the Thousands, a colt which, as we then said of him, has nothing in his appearance very taking to the eye. Macaroni is in truth a rather mean looking animal, a small wiry horse with a good back and quarters, but deficient in stamp and style, and we never remember to have seen a strong favourite so little taken to by the public. He enjoyed comparative quiet during nearly the whole time he was on view; whereas no sooner was the white hat of Edwin Parr discerned as, mounted on his pony, he led the way for Lord Clifden, than there was a general rush to get a sight of the crack, and as general an expression of approval on beholding him. In all our experience we never re- collect a more favourable impression having been created, as we certainly never set eyes on a handsomer horse. He is the very ideal of the thorough bred horse, in perfect condition, of exquisite beauty and almost faultless symmetry. In fact as we wrote of him months since, and after leaving him at Doncaster, " we an- ticipate Lord Clifden stripping as magnificent a Derby horse as ever was seen," and how far this anticipation was fulfilled the murmur of admiration thatgreetedbim in thepaddock willtestify. Common report, however, had as usual been romancing a bit, as Lord Clifden has rather fined than thickened, and if there was any objection to him it was that he is a little high on the leg and light in the barrel. His condition was marvellouslv good, and he really seemed timed to an hour; but the crowd began to worry him at last, and though naturally a capital- tempered horse, he showed some irritability when Fordham took the lad's place on his back. On the upper side was his much- vaunted opponent, the Frenchman Hospodar, an animal of whose merits as a Derby horse our opinion has long been known. Despite all the out- rageous absurdities that have been sung or said about him, we condemned his chance here, as any man must who knows any- thing about the make and shape of a horse, months since, and in these words: " He can be no Derby horse of our ideal. A fine- topped, wonderfully well- grown and rather flashy- looking colt, Hospodar has such a pair of forelegs to fight their way over the rise and fall of Epsom as should make a man shudder to look on. They are not only turned and twisted, but gummy in their appearance, and no course can suit such a horse like the straight sailing over Newmarket Heath." Hospodar looked altogether a deal better and healthier than in the Two Thou- sand, and if ever he had a day made to order for him it was at Epsom on Wednesday, when there were people fond enough again to back him. His companion, Jarnicoton, has not improved as he should have done since the autumn, but is grown into a plain but still useful colt. Another Newmarket horse, the Baron's King of the Vale, had, on the contrary, altered amazingly for the better in the last few weeks, and it is sadly to be regretted that he was deprived of all chance of again measuring lengths with Macaroni, as had King of the Vale really improved as much as he appeared to havedone, he must have closed with his conqueror, the more so when we bear in mind how much better a horse of his stamp would be likely to run over Epsom. Curiously enough, the second, as well as the third in the Two Thousand, as will be seen in our account of the race, were put out of it by an accident; but Saccharometer had not so clearly amended in the interim. A deal, no doubt, had been done with him, and a deal taken off him— if anything rather too much— as the horse had a jaded air and certain narrowness about him that went to please nobody beyond his own circle. National Guard, so long a favourite with the public, stripped a remarkably good looking horse, deep and square, but with only middling, nigh action ; and Blue Mantle was still one of the best looking, truest made, and fittest of the fielders. The King of Utopia, too, was in rare trim, and The Gillie, a short, compact, vulgarly good- looking oolt, with plenty of power about him, had manifestly been done every justice to by his trainer, whatever he might be able to do for himself. Fantastic, a neat, bloodlike horse, still lacked something of the wear and tear of the Derby Course; and Bcamander, also with plenty of good looks, was rather narrow in his frame; while Avondale had filled on into a smart looking filly, though never within stones and pounds of Derby form. The goose- rumped Donnybrook was another of those veritable duffers that by some unhappy fate Sam Rogers so often gets retained for, and it must have been melancholy recreation to display such a horse to the tens of thousands of this great jockey's admirers, even if he saw Wells in as good company. Never, certainly, did Scott's lot command so little attention, led off though they were by Early Purl, now furnished into a small but very neat horse, and figuring in curious contrast to the long, leggy, scrambling Giles, and the highly- connected Michael Scott, an ugly likeness of his big brother, and not looking near fit. Lord Glasgow's lot had their parade yet more to themselves, though Rapid Rhone, stripped early, still sustained the character we gave him at - Newmarket, " as a horse of much quality, being a smart nag to scan over, and full of wire and muscle." Some of the prophets and judges, how- ever, duly declared him to be nothing but " a coarse coach horse," an opinion, the admirable correctness of which the roan very satisfactorily substantiated on Wednesday, when he was within half a length of winning the Derby! In the canter up, seen under certain difficulties from the Epsom Stand at all times, and especially so on such a day as Wednesday, nothing went better than the two favourites, either for the long sweeping stride of Lord Clifden orthe straight true action of Maca- roni, aliorse never sighted to so much advantage aswhen set agoing. The field. it will be found, reached to thirty- one, Bright Cloud being added to those coloured on the card, and Avenger, Countess, and Cairncastle not putting in the appearance promised for them. Returning to the Paddock, and with tbe rain opportunely abated, the horses reached the post in good time in a cluster, and it seemed for a moment as if they would get off at the first intention. But alas! this moment ran out into something like a long hour, mainly from the obstinacy of one animal, Tambour Major, who had previously shown temper, and would not now go near his horses. In vain was it that the others collected and re- formed again and again, as there has seldom been a more orderly field, few or any of them going beyond two or three hundred yards before they were stopped and turned. But there the offender still stood 1 kicking occasionally like a jackass, with something of whose disposition he would seem to be imbued. In many of these attempts the two favourites were well away, with occasionally another horse following a bad example, and getting terribly out of the line. The spectators at length were fairly wearied out, the more so as the rain came on again, and the umbrellas went up. It looked at last as if the Admiral must be summoned, but surely the starter should have some discretion in a difficulty like this ? If a restive awkward brute will not go after two or three offers, the ethers should go without him, as was eventually the case in the present instance. Had Mr M'George really waited until the Count's horse would close up they might have been there till now. The actual start was a very fair one, while we must deal with the many incidents and accidents of the race as usual in our report subjoined to the return. The two favourites, however, were seen to be well in front, and a long way from home— too far from home in the opinion of many good judges— Lord Clifden was pro- claimed to be leading. He looked, indeed, to be all over winning as he passed the Grand Stand, but he changed his leg somewhere about the commencement of Barnard's Stand, and Challoner here made a shoot, keeping his horse as straight as an arrow, whilst Lord Clifden, though he rolled a bit, answered Fordham's call most gallantly, and recovered his lost ground again as if by magic ; but it was too late, and Macaroni was declared the winner by the shortest of heads 1 ninety- nine people out of every hundred anywhere in the vicinity of the chair believing Lord Clifden had won, until the numbers went up. Seven or eight others were close up, including the King of Utopia, who was on his head in the race, a finish that goes to make the Derby horses of ' sixty- three a very moderate lot, as we unquestion- ably believe them to be. That Lord Clifden should have won was the very general opinion, and were the two to meet again to- morrow, Lord St Vincent's horse would be again the favourite. Still Macaroni ran the straighter and the truer at the finish, while, when they both came to scale, he did not seem so much distressed as the other, who had certainly been made a deal of use of in the race. There was something like a feeling of disappointment when the official result was arrived at, the feeling of the multitude being clearly with Lord Clifden; while the reluctance of the spectators to doubt their own eyes was considerably increased by Clarior's number, instead of Rapid Rhone's, being sent up in the first instance as the third in the race. We would not for a moment be understood as impugning the judge's decision, but our account would be necessarily ii- nperlect without some allusion to the common impression, prompted, no question, as this often was by some sympathy in the other direction. The result of the race only tends the more to confirm the cor- rectness of the line to be taken from the Two Thousand for the Derby. Macaroni is the sixth winner of the Guineas who has also won the Derby, his predecessors having been Smolensko in 1813, Cadland in 1828, Bay Middleton in 1836, Cotherstone in 1843, and West Australian in 1853. It is, consequently, ten years since this double event has been achieved, with an inter regnum of just another ten previously ; but only last year The Marquis won the Two Thousand and ran second for the Derby; in 1861 Diophantus won the Two Thousand, and ran third for the Derby; in 1860 The Wizard won the Two Thousand, and ran second for the Derby; in 1859 The Promised Land won the Two Thousand, and ran fourth for the Derby; in 1856 Fazzoletto was first at Newmarket, and fourth at Epsom; in 1855 Lord of the Isles first and third; and 1854, The Hermit first for the Two Thou- sand and third for the Derby. It is not worth while going beyond the next break at West Australian, or Pitsford, Sir Tatton Sykes, and others would afford further proof of the influence of one race on the other. It is, further, nineteen years since a Newmarket horse w » n the Derby, and twenty- seven years since a Newmarket horse won the Two Thousand and the Derby. Turning from the horse to his able jockey, this is the third of the great races in succession which Challoner has won right off— the Oaks last year, also for Mr Naylor, on Feu de Joie, the St Leger of last year on the Marquis, and now the Derby on Macaroni. He previously won the Leger in 1861 on Caller Ou, and three of these four races by short heads, after some wonderful exhibitions of quiet, patient, and really fine riding. No man wins a near race with more coolness, or at the same time with more resolution, and in his last famous encounter, when The Marquis and Buckstone ran their great match for the Leger, Fordham, as it will be remembered, was also his opponent. Macaroni is not in the Leger, so that the two cannot be paired again on the same horses at Doncaster, or the meeting would be a most interesting one. As we stated some months since Macaroni was regarded by the stable last autumn as Mr Naylor's Derby horse, but his defeat by Automaton, though explained away by his having had a long gallop by mistake the day previous, sent him to the right about, and the world took to Carnival. After winning his first race in the spring Macaroni came again, though never in much demand until after the Two Thousand. He was one of a lot of yearlings purchased by Mr Nay lor of his neighbour Lord Westminster, Carnival being also included amongst them. As is well known, Mr Naylor has now a large stud, headed by Stock- well, at Hooton, in Cheshire, formerly a family seat of the Btan- leys, but purchased within the last few years by its present pos- sessor. Mr Naylor is himself a Liverpool man, where his uncle amassed immense wealth as a banker and merchant, being very extensively engaged in the foreign trade ; and on the result of the race being made known on ' Change at Liverpool on Wednesday afternoon, loud cheers expressed the money- changers' sympathy with their fellow- citizen's success. Mr Naylor's horses are trained at Newmarket by Godding, during whose illness Griffiths, the Hooton stud groom, had the management of them, with Captain White as Master of the Horse to the stable; but we are glad to say that Godding was sufficiently recovered to witness the signal triumph of his stable. " The party'' land a large stake over this the second great event that Mr Naylor has won in by no means a lengthy but remarkably spirited career on the Turf. That we took a pretty correct estimate of his Derby horse's chance the following extract from our Anticipations of Epsom will show. It embodies all that we said of him :—" Macaroni is entitled to the same attention as any Two Thousand Guinea Horse that has beaten animals backed for such sums of money as Hospodar and Saccharometer, and it is a moot point whether he will not be a better favourite on 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 Nay lor for his loss in the last Derby." Were the race to be run again to- morrow we should still place Macaroni " as bound to beat all the public horses of the year," and second only to our actual selection and first favourite, Lord Clifden. No startling changes had been manifested during the earlier portion of the day in the betting, the principal incidents therein being the advance of Hospodar to 9 to 1, of Fantastic to 100 to 7, and Scamander to 15 to 1, while of the outsiders Early Purl and Baldwin were most sought after. Macaroni receded to 10 to 1, although a point less was occasionally taken, and as little as 8 to 1 was for a brief space booked about Saccharometer, but 10 to 1 was afterwards obtainable. In some quarters 10 to 1 was accepted about King of the Vale, who had many followers, but he started at 13 to 1. The other phases of the wagering were for the most part the same as during the previous day, the favourite being still at 4 to 1. When the numbers went up, Lord Glasgow, it was discovered, started three— Rapid Rhone, the Physalis colt, and Clarior. John Scott's " lot" comprised Early Purl, Michael 8cott, and Giles the First; the French were represented by Hospo- dar and Jarnicoton; while Scamander had his stable companion, Safeguard, to bear him company. Watson's stable, also, had two representatives, the once formidable National Guard and Donny- brook ; and Macaroni was attended by Aggressor. The well- known colours of Sir Joseph Hawley and Mr Merry were " conspicuous by their absence," both gentlemen, as previously stated, having struck out their horses; and of the others we need only remark in passing that of Lord Stamford's once " dangerous'' Derby lot, One- sander alone was fated to bear the " light blue, black and gold belt.'' An unhappy incident, as narrated below, served to specially distinguish the Derby of ' sixty- three. Bright Cloud was in distress about three quarters of a mile from home, and, when unable to get out of Baccharometer's way, the latter unfortunately struck into his heels and fell, unseating David Hughes; while King of the Vale likewise came down on his side, unshipped John Daley, and got loose. Fantastic jumped over the prostrate horses, and came down on " his nose and knees,'' and King of Utopia was disappointed by the contretemps. How far this vexatious mishap interfered with the result must of necessity be an open question. Lord Strathmore was very confident before the race about reversing the Two Thousand running, and Mr Bryan equally certain that Fantastic must have won; and so far as the runningof Blue Mantle to- day was concerned, runningclose up after being disappointed, it certainly did make the chance of Saccharometer appear formidable. Then, again, the adherentsof the Baron's horse averred that butfor the accident the horse " could not have lost, " and his trial with Win- grave was certainly good enough to justify the remark. Loud cheers from the Ring followed the announcement of Macaroni as the winner, not so enthusiastic, however, as would have been the burst had Lord Clifden's number been hoisted in his stead, for it is needless to say that Lord St Vincent's horse was a universal fa- vourite with the public. The members of the Ring, however, had good cause to cheer lustily, for it would have made " all the difference" to them had the favourite won. Mr Naylor wins an immense stake, having backed the horse at all sorts of prices; and Captain White and Lord Stam- ford also throw in for good round sums. Of the " ring men" Messrs Jackson, Steel, Foy, and Booth are reported the principal winners— the former, by the way, would have " dropped " some six thousand over Lord Clifden. Macaroni had, it is true, been backed heavily; but most of the bookmakers very wisely " backed him back again'' after his running at Newmarket, and very few were bad against him; indeed, one well- known London book- maker, who drops about a thousand over him, gave it as his candid opinion that he was the very worst loser of the lot. A short time since, as we may here note, a zealous " Newmarketite" gave vent to the rather malicious wish that " all the Newmarket horses that had left to be trained elsewhere for the Derby might fall in the race. " This not over amiable wish, to a certain extent, " came off,'' for of the three removed ones that started, King of the Vale and Saccharometer did fall, and the other, Tambour Major, was left at the post. Of the remaining items our mention must necessarily be brief. Dirt Cheap proved a cheap purchase for her new owner by win- ning the Manor Plate, and Creole, despite the defeat of the pre- vious day, was agaiu made favourite for the Bentinck Plate, which brought out a field of thirteen. The favourite, however, was beaten, after a fine race with the top- weighted Welland, against whom 8 and 10 to 1 was laid, by a neck. For the Burgh Stakes Loates weighed for Lord 8tamford's Hypatia, and her number was dis- played on the telegraph, upon which she was backed at evens, and 4 to 1 was betted against both Blanche of Lancaster and Rosina. The number of the favourite was, however, soon taken down, and the mare did not start. No regular betting, or nothing to speak of, took place afterwards, and a loud outcry was raised by those who were compelled to abide by the comparatively long price they had laid against the winner, Blanche of Lancaster. Being the last race of the day, however, the formal inquiry into the circum- stances of the case was deferred till the morrow, although it was generally understood that the filly had been weighed for without Lord Stamford's knowledge or consent. The betting on the future was confined to the Oaks, for which 4 to 1 was offered agst Lady Augusta, whilst half a point more was taken about Borealis. Miss Armstrong and Old Orange Girl appeared quite out of favour, the latter looking like being super- seded by her stable companion, Amelia.

In fairness to an always active official it should be mentioned that the longest recorded delay in bringing off the great event of the year was in no way chargeable to Mr Manning, whose weighing and telegraphing were completed, as usual, half an hour before the appointed time. The horses, notwithstanding, were fifteen minutes late in reaching the post, where they were detained full forty more by no fewer than thirty- two failures, principally caused by Blue Mantle breaking away and refusing to come back in front, and by Tambour Major still more obstinately declining to go up in the rear. In both cases the heavy " flogger'' was ad- ministered behind, which, while operating successfully on Cap- tain Lane's colt, though not without considerable irritation and, consequently, a damaging effect on his chance, was of no avail in persuading Count Batthyany's horse, whose kicking and plunging only increased with the flagellation and a free applica- tion of the " prickers." A number of opportunities were thus frustrated in getting the lot away in capital order, which, how- ever, was eventually effected at fifty- six minutes after three o'clock, by leaving Tambour Major at the post, who, to the disgust of his owner and a host of backers, took no part in the race. Immediately the flag was lowered the colours of Lord Glas- gow on Clarior were seen in advance, followed by Early Purl, who directly afterwards took up the running, only,* however, for the first three hundred yards, when Bright Cloud, inside, showed in the van with a clear lead. His immediate followers comprised 8accharometer, Tom Fool, Fantastic, King of the Vale, Ranger, The Gillie, and King of Utopia, with Donnybrook, the favourite, and Macaroni lying~ more in the centre of the course about even with them. Next, extending to the right or clustering at their quarters, were Blue Mantle, Rapid Rhone, Avondale, Aggressor, Giles the First, and Scamander, who eventually headed the second division, including Onesander, Safeguard, Golden Pledge, Early Purl, and Aggressor ; while Dunkeld at the tail of the ruck was succeeded by the Ph3' salis colt, last off, and bringing up the extreme rear. Entering the mile course, Bright Cloud, evidently not recovered lrom his accident at Bath, was in trouble, and dropping back left Donnybrook in front with Lord Clifden at his side, the Cloud following them to the six furlong post, when he swerved in a further retrograde movement, and brought down Saccharometer, who struck into his heels. Fantastic, coming next, bounded over the fallen animal, but " nosed " the turf on landing, and threw Custance on to his neck, in which position he remained some time ere re- gaining the saddle. King of the Vale, in Fantastic's track, rolled over Lord Strathmore's horse, and rising, went on without his rider ; King of Utopia, close to whom was Ranger, having miracu- lously escaped by crossing Saccharometer's quarters. Thence Lord Clifden slightly headed Donnybrook round Tattenham Corner, Tom Fool lying third, succeeded in a body, as they came down the hill, by The Gillie, Macaroni, King of Utopia, Scamander, Ranger, Onesander, Safeguard, Blue Mantle, and Rapid Rhone ; the latter, contrary to calculation, turning out to be the best of Lord Glasgow's, seeing that Clarior now figured with the com- pounded lot, most prominent among which were National Guard, Count Lagrange's two, Avondale, Aggressor, Michael Scott, the Physalis colt, and Trojanus. Directly after entering tbe straight, where Donnybrook was beaten, The Gillie, next the rails, looked formidable for a few strides, but cut it the instant he was called upon, and Macaroni, with Tom Fool at his side, became the attendants of the favourite, still in command. Upon the retirement of Tom Fool within the distance, King of Utopia rushed up on the right, and for a mo- ment appeared to have a shade the best of it, his advantage, how- ever, as speedily subsiding at the Stand, opposite which Lord Clifden looked like going in an easy winner, but changing his leg immediately Challoner set Macaroni going, the latter reached him at last, and won on the post by a head. Rapid Rhone, over- hauling Mr Whittaker's colt in the last dozen yards, finished third, half a length off', a head in advance of Blue Mantle, coming with a rattle on the lower ground, as far from whom King of Utopia was fifth, beating Ranger, by the same, Onesander being seventh, at his girths, Safeguard and Scamander finishing so close up with the last- named pair as to render doubtful their exact positions. Early Purl, Clarior, Golden Pledge, and Giles the First were next, and after them Fantastic, broken down badly in the off fore leg. The hindmost lot comprised Dunkeld, Bald- win, Trojanus, Bright Cloud, and Avondale ; the absolutely last being Aggressor, the stable companion of the winner. Neither Hughes nor Daley were injured in their fall, the former remount- ing Saccharometer and walking him in from near the spot where the contretemps took place. Run in 2min 50| sec.

Prior to starting the course was twice run through by Heart of Oak, the favourite, and Maubourquet in pouring rain, the consequence being that nearly an hour was cut to waste under the most trying circumstances, the crowd, however, standing it out bravely, as though adopting the defiant motto, " Pour on, I will endure." Lord Burleigh took a commanding lead directly the flag fell, followed by Queen of the Vale, who deprived him of the lead at the straight, but was herself passed at the distance by the favourite and Welland run- ning together on the top ground, the upshot of an exciting finish with this pair being that Welland, headed the three year old at the Stand, and won by a neck. Lord Burleigh, beaten three lengths from the second, finished twice as far in front of Baron Roths- child's mare, close up with whom Corroborator was fifth; the rest tailed eff. Run in lmin 20sec.

There was, as heretofore, the deserted hill and the scanty muster outside, which marks the " off day," although in the enclosure there was no very perceptible difference. The card contained eight items, which did not, how- ever, hold forth promise of bringing out any extensive fields, and as the Shirley Stakes only numbered three entries, two of Lord Stamford's, Revolver and Avenger, and Mr Payne's nomination, the colt by Trapper out of Catalpa, it resulted in " a draw," and the affair beeame void, so that the racing did not commence in reality until two o'clock. In the interim one or two events oc- curred relative to the races of the previous day which claim some slight notice. As stated in our previous remarks, Tambour Major seriously delayed the start for the Derby, and was eventually left behind. This circumstance led this afternoon to some remarks being applied by Count Batthyany to Wells, to the effect that his horse had the character of being remarkably docile and good- tempered, and the Count hinted that he had been unnecessarily spurred and flogged during the delay referred to. Wells thereon stated that he had done his best to get Tambour Major to the post, that, finding persuasion useless, he resorted to such punishment as he deemed necessary, but that both were unavailing, in proof of which he, as he said, would appeal to any jockey who rode in the race, as well as to Martin Starling, who eventually came to his aid, and whipped the horse so as to induce him to " move on." Some further remarks followed, and Wells eventually tendered his resignation of the Count's cap and jacket, which resignation was accepted. Count Batthyany has ever been as straightforward and honourable in his conduct as a sportsman as Wells has been as a jockey; and we cannot, therefore, but deeply regret that the sepa- ration should have taken place. While on thesubject we may state that Withingtonreceivedasmartreprimandfrom Lord Glasgow for having ridden the Physalis colt with a stick instead of a whip. Mr Joseph Dawson, too, was called upon by the stewards at Lord Stamford's request to explain how it was that Hypatia was weighed for the previous day for the Burgh Stakes, and he stated that the lad had weighed without the knowledge or consent of either Lord Stamford or himself. The following notice was even- tually posted:— " Lord Stamford having requested the Stewards to inquire into the circumstance of Hypatia's number being put up for t he Burgh Stakes on Wednesday, the Stewards have examined Mr Dawson, who states that Lord Stamford, immediately after the Derby, ordered Hypatia to be sent home; that Loates, in ignorance of the orders, and without Dawson's authority, weighed for Hj'patia, and the number was consequently exhibited; but as soon as Mr Dawson saw the number up he ordered it, to be taken down. ( Signed) " COVENTRY, 1 " H. J. Rous, " C. ALEXANDER, Stewards." " A. HEATHCOTE, | " C. H. CAREW. J Only seven of the somewhat extensive lot coloured on the card started for the Two Year Old Stakes, neither Molly Carew nor Sister to Queen of the Vale being to- day among them, Tomato doing duty for the latter, and Starbeam for the first- named. Despite the extra 51b Fille de l'Air was made the favourite, next to whom Midnight Mass, whom we had seen before at New- market, and who had recently been a little " off," was in most request. The issue at last was confined to the Count's colt and the Baron's filly, the former, with Fordham up, just pulling through. Bosh and Suburban divided the favouritism for the Seuth Western Stakes, the last named having the call at last. It proved all " bosh" for those who stood the horse so called, however fa- vourably handicapped, and the Ceunt's colours were again tri- umphant. Though numbering but half a dozen runners, the Epsom Cup excited some interest, bringing, as it did, Buckstone, Zetland, and Atherstone together; although so good a thing was it esteemed for Buckstone that 2 to 1 was betted on him, while 6 to 1 was laid agst Zetland, and odds varying from 8 to 1 to 10 to 1 agst Atherstone. Buckstone looked Tike bringing off the odds as he entered the straight, but further up exhibited signs of distress ; yet he struggled gamely on, although Challoner felt the race was gone, and finally gave in, and Atherstone defeated Zet- land by a neck. No sooner had Buckstone passed the post, and the excitement, as it were, over, than he fairly staggered, and was literally obliged to be supported on his way to the paddock. All sorts of rumours were speedily rife. One set forth that the horse had been drugged; another that he was lying hopelessly on his side in the paddock, and finally report killed him outright. Mr Merry, who had backed him for a stake, proceeded to see into the true state of affairs, and informed us on his return that the horse had quite recovered, and was able to walk away from the course. The cause of the horse stopping of a sudden, and exhibiting the symp- toms he did afterwards, was attributed to a slight attack of the megrims. The Walton Stakes was won by Mysterious Lady, who was backed at evens, having only two to beat, and Rubicon, being in the Grand Stakes Handicap at 6st 121b, and meeting his quondam stable companion Amy at an advantage of a stone, the result proved the " dead certainty " it looked for him. Her Ma- jesty's Plate was a mere canter over for Caller Ou, and the Epsom Four Year Old Stakes, as last year, went off in a walk over. Bo- realis took a decided lead of Lady Augusta in the Oaks betting, 5 to 1 being laid and offered agst the latter. Marigold and Vivid were in some demand, as were also Amelia and Tornado. After Atherstone's race Isoline came to 12 to 1, and Sea Nymph was " put up '* and backed at 100 to 6, a movement that had, of course, something to do with the counter movements in connection with Lady Augusta.

Opposite the Stand he was challenged by Tomato and the favourite, who, however, died away at the enclosure, while the Baron's filly, never quite reaching Midnight Mass, suf- fered defeat by a head. Fille de l'Air finished a length from the second, about as far in front of Starbeam, separated from whom, at a moderate interval.

Half way down the hill Bosh was in trouble, while Sauterelle, improving her position, next took up the running at the straight, with Tourist and General Hess in attendance to within the distance, where Fordham brought up Suburban with a rush on the right, and won cleverly by a length; a neck dividing second and third ; General Hess a middling fourth, Bosh fifth, Walpole sixth, Overton seventh.

On his retirement Buckstone went up to Lord St Vincent's horse, whereupon Ather- stone also joined issue and headed both near the distance, whence a fine race resulted in favour of the five year old a neck over Zetland, who beat Mr Merry's horse a head for second ; Hurri- cane a middling fourth, Port Royal and Golden Pledge closef up with her.

More than half the journey had been accomplished in this order, when the leader, compounding, was eventually overhauled by Necklace, who took the command at Tattenham Corner, the pair, however, still going on considerably in front of everything to about, half a mile from home, when the St Leger victress, bound- ing down the hill like a deer, passed b ® th in the straight, and won by twenty lengths.

Under circumstances, therefore, the attendance was an average one, and by comparison things looked much brighter than on the Derby Day. Still it must be admitted that the original damper cast upon the meeting seemed to pervade it throughout. At half- past one the racing commenced with the Glasgow Plate, the chance of Spicebox being esteemed above the other nine, but fortune favoured the colours of Lord Stamford, and Ellerton proved the victor. The favourite was, however, more fortunate in the next venture, for Berkeley carried off the Ewell Plate right cleverly. To this comparatively insignificant event came the race of the day, and as on the Wednesday, before the Derby, the tide set in towards the Paddock. That terrible passage was, of course, less felt on an Oaks day, but it is still at any time one of those unnecessary annoy- ances that might surely be easily remedied. The entrance, in a word, simply needs to be widened, or three or four additional openings made for the week. Mr Heathcote, the owner, with almost unprecedented liberality, gives the field to the use of the public, and, we have little doubt but that his consent would be readily obtained for the more thoroughly consulting the con- venience, and as we may add, the expressed wishes of many of the chief patrons of the Turf. The comparatively tranquil voyage through the straits on Friday did not lead on to any very golden haven when once free of the troubled waters, as the Oaks mares showed up a very ragged, common- looking lot. One of the first, however, that we came across, Marigold, a hot favourite for the Thousand Guineas, had considerably improved in every way upon that form. She looked brighter and better in her coat, and has lost something of that coarseness for which she was then so noticeable. Scott's team were also early in and easy to find. The Old Orange Girl, not much grown, is still a very neat, raeing- like filly ; while Amelia, to the eye at any rate, was not more fit than we last saw her; her coat was still set up, and she wanted that " comely" appearance which John Scott's so generally enjoy. The " other one," and, curiously enough, the outsider of the trio, was, on the contrary, as admirable an example of the Mal- ton system. Grown into a great fine. filly, though rather plain about the head, with grand racing points, good bone, and plenty of size and substance, Queen Bertha was far more fit than either of her companions; beyond which those who had once noticed her long raking stride should never have quite forgotten it, as it seems they did until too late. The French mare, Vivid, was more useful than bloodlike, being well furnished all over, and promising to pay her way anywhere. A gathering crowd further on tells of the favourite of the day, Borealis, a filly that amusingly preserves that somewhat hack- like character so commonly ob- servable in I'Anson's famous mares, from Blink Bonny to Caller Ou. Borealis, indeed, bears a deal of resemblance to her dam, but without all her mother's good looks. She is a short, wiry filly, very quick and active on her legs, but not by any means a handsome or striking mare to look over. Of the two Lord Stamford sent in for private view Lady Augusta had mani- festly lost some of her bloom, though she went up before the race in fine form, and still the sweetest one of the lot: indeed it was hard to see how the mean, plating Sea Nymph could ever have been the preferred, as she eventually was, on the strength of something that surpasseth show. The much boasted Gratitude turned up in a shelly, Harrow mare, all legs and wings ; and Tornado still lacked any growth and visible improvement, despite the force with which she came again. Golden Dust was but a light, weedy one to strip, and her near namesake a very ordinary one to encounter. Spit- fire Kitty again was but a plain wretch, whilelsoline, a level wearing Ally, much after Mr Parr's own heart, told better for that hitherto splendid failure, the magnificent Ethelbert. Of the others, the once- renowned Orphan did not evince that improvement so re- markable in her renowned companion, though still all over a very clever and racing- like filly. As, however, the result of the race de monstrated, there was still some " holding" in the ground, with the finish confined to three or four of the big- gest and most powerful mares that went to the post. The betting on the Oaks was meanwhile pursued with ardour, and from 7 to 2 offered " on the field'' Borealis came finally to 5 to 2. Lord Stamford's lot— or rather his pair, for Flying Fish was struck out some time before the race— somewhat puzzled i> oth the outer and inner circle, and although his lordship finally declared to win with Sea Nymph, who, it was stated, had beaten Lady Augusta in their trial, the public still gave the preference to the latter; while Sea Nymph and Marigold— the latter ef whom • was backed for a lot of money— to- day, as in the One Thousand, were about equal favourites at 7 to 1. Of the three- and- twenty co- loured on the card Avondale, the struck- out Flying Fish, and Lady of the Isles were the only absentees, aad the remaining score quitted the paddock just ten minutes past three— the time fixed for the race. Once more was the uncertainty of racing fully illustrated, for neither of Lord Stamford's pair nor the favourite obtained even a place, and Marigold, who looked like " winning to nothing'' as she ran past the Stand, was collared at the finish by Queen Bertha, and by dint of one of Tom Aldcroft's most briliiant efforts " Mr Valentine's" filly was adjudged the winner by a head, Vivid finishing a like distance only from the second. The result was most unexpected, for the stable placed their faith in Amelia, and the winner, consequently, was scarcely mentioned in the Ring. We have quoted her at 40 to 1, because the principal bet laid against her was 1,000 to 25; but the truth is she was scarcely mentioned, and the very few bets about her were at vague and indefinite prices. The reason, as assigned for this seeming neglect by the stable is, that on Monday Scott's Oaks mares were " roughed up'' at Leatherhead. Aldcroft riding Queen Bertha, W. Boyce Old Orange Girl, and another Amelia, when the last named won with great ease by two or three lengths. On the morning of the race, however, Lord Falmouth ex- pressed a wish that Aldcroft should ride his filly; in consequence the great northern jockey was put on " the best of the three." Only two horses weighed for the Great Surrey Foal Stakes, Lord Clifden and Jarnicoton, the latter immediately appearing in the front of the Stand mounted by Watkins, with the horse looking none the worse for his gallop in the Derby. Some time, how- ever, elapsed before Lord Clifden showed, and it was generally thought that Jarnicoton would walk over ; but at the last mo- ment his lordship came on from the paddock, mounted by George Fordham, and he certainly did not seem like the same beautifu horse that ran in the Derby, for he looked stale, jaded, light, and stiff, with no great inclination to face thecourse. Fordham, finding his horse very sore, gave him two short canters immediately, and then sent him along slowly from the Stand to the starting post, just a mile. On getting off they cantered for nearly a quarter of a mile, when the pace improved, while in rounding Tattenham Corker it became really good, and after a most exciting race Lord Clifden won by a short head! The police arrangements call for the warmest encomiums, and the members of the A division on the ground, under the com- mand of Mr Superintendent Walker, certainly deserved the praise so freely lavished upon their body by Sir George Grey. The dis- cipline observed by the men was as admirable as was the ex- cellent temper they displayed in their difficult task of clearing the course. The tact and ease with which this handful of men in civilian attire controlled the vast mass of humanity at Epsom on the Derby Day was not one of the least astonishing items in that great scene, and the entire absence of armed suasion must have materially impressed many of the numerous foreign visitors. Under Superintendant Walker were Inspectors Bradstocke, Eccles, and Penfold. In the Grand Stand Inspector Tanner ably supplied the place of Inspector Whicher, who has temporarily retired from ill- health, and who, in conjunction with the late Inspector Thornton, has for so many years efficiently kept " watch and ward" over the persons and pockets of the visitors to the Stand.

Two or three failures pre- ceded a capital start, which took place precisely at sixteen minutes after three o'clock. The first lot showing in advance comprised Countess, Orphan, Golden Dust, and the favourite, the former slightly leading. She, however, soon fell back, and Golden Dust took up the running, having Queen Bertha, Miss Armstrong, and Pantail, for her immediate attendants to the furzes, where Marigold and Vivid occupied the centre of the ruck, whip- ped- in by Old Orange Girl. At the mile post, Sea Nymph took the lead from Mr Brayley's mare. Gold Dust going on third, succeeded— nearly abreast— by Fantail, The Orphan, Thalestris, Miss Armstrong, Queen Bertha, and Isoline, with Borealis lying well up to the left of them on rounding Tat- tenham- corner. 8ea Nymph, however, retained her advantage to the straight, where she was beaten, after which Lady Augusta, by no means in a good place at starting, had now so far improved her position, that for a time she looked dangerous. At the upper end of the Stand, however, Marigold gradually creeping up from the turn with Vivid and Isoline, deprived Lord Stamford's mare of the command, immediately upon which Aldcroft brought up Queen Bertha, and catching Marigold, who shut up the instant she was collared, beat her by a head. Vivid finishing as far from the second, with an advantage of half a length over Isoline. About three lengths off the favourite was fifth, Old Orange Girl sixth, Lady Augusta seventh, Fantail eighth, Miss Armstrong ninth, Golden Dust and Tornado next. The last two being Cadeau and Countess. Run in 2min 54sec Nett value of the stakes, £ 5,050. PEDIGREE, PERFORMANCES, AND ENGAGEMENTS OF THE WINNER. PEDIGREE.— Queen Bertha, Mr T.

TO THE EDITOR OP BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : I beg to contradict the report given in most of the daily papers relative to the running of Lord Glasgow's horses in the Derby. It states that Physalis colt, carrying a red cap, made run- ning for hisltwo stable companions, the absolute last being Clarior. This is a palpable error, as Physalis colt, carrying a white cap, was the absolute last, and one of Lord Glasgow's other horses made the running, Clarior and Rapid Rhone being both ridden in his lordship's colours, white, red sleeves, and red cap. This will explain, why " Number 3" was temporarily put upas the third horse iriBtead of Rapid Rhone.— Yours, & c,. J. F. CLARK. A RETROSPECT OF EPSOM AND MEMS OF MANCHESTER. Epsom, as far as it has proceeded, has well sustained the epithet that was bestowed upon it a few years back of being " the World's Meeting," and a gathering of the sportsmen of all nations. But still atmospheric influences must be admitted to have had their effect on the minds of the multitude, which not even the welcome presence of royalty nor the magnificence of the contest for the Derby could move into enthusiasm. Year by year does the popularity of the Derby increase, and annually does Mr Dorling experience the difficulty of adequately providing for the accommodation of those who patronise him. Indeed, it is quite clear, as every devrce that could be imagined has been adopted for the purpose of swelling the number of stalls and private boxes, that new stands of the same stamp will have to be erected, and as speculations they cannot fail to answer. On the opening day Admiral Fitzroy would have been in his glory, for the storm that raged during its continuance was worthy even of his patronage; and save at Brighton on one or two occasions, and at Newmarket in the Second October Meeting a few years back, we never re- collect racing being pursued under such circumstances. The card in point of strength was not equal to the standard of some years, and the Craven names have been of a higher class; still, if the numbers of superior horses in training are limited, we must await with patience the revival of a more prosperous era. Recur- ring to the Craven, it will be seen that the Ranger and Golden Pledge parties would be the most interested in the result, inas- much as Buckeriham and Comet's positions would at once deter- mine the worth of their respective chances, and when neither of the pair could get before Adventurer and Isoline, the fate of the Findon and Middleham candidates was sealed. That Adventurer would have won under any circumstances is extremely probable, but his chance was greatly helped by the fact of the race having been only run from the top of the hill, up to which point the lot had cantered, and from whence his speed served him im- mensely, while Atherstone laboured under the disadvantage of having to make his own running, which always tells against him. The result, strange to say, had more effect on the betting for the Oaks than the Derby, for Borealis shone brighter immediately, as she had run second to the winner in the Flying Dutchman's Handicap at York. The Heathcote Plate was only interesting to those who bet on every race, and Livingstone, apparently as untired as his namesake, was again at the head of his followers, and caused many to wonder if Fantastic could really stay, for such speed as the latter evinced when he beat Livingstone only needed a small amount of staying powers to make his chance for the Derby within a few removes of that of the two cracks. The Brighton Stakes field was as complimentary to the handicapper as it was welcome to the Ring, who found Creole ail the rage and to have no chance, and the winner to turn up in Drummer Boy, who was as destitute of friends as a work- house boy. The victory of such an outsider still further increased the feeling of confidence in Godding's horse and Challoner's luck, which at Epsom is wonderful. The Rous Stakes wanted the field of last year, and that there was no fault in the handicap- ping was proved by the top weight running so cleverly, a fact which had a corresponding effect on the King of the Vale's party, as the Brighton verdict had upon Macaroni, and in the language of the Ring side, " both parties were confident, and came up smiling." From the style in which Gardener ran, notwithstand- ing the enormous sum of money for which he was backed, we are disposed to think that a mistake has been made in his course, for he ran as badly as in the City and Suburban, and henceforth, therefore, it would be more advisable to try him over a distanceof ground such as he accomplished with such perfect ease at Chester. The Ace of Clubs is clearly more at home at three- quarters of a mile than a mile, and Balham seems to have lost all his form. It the Woodcote was run without a Lord Clifden in it, it showed us that Foigh a Ballagh's reputation as a sire was not quite gone in his old age, and that our neighbours on the other side of the Channel are quite on a par with us as breeders, for a cleverer filly than Fille de l'Air is not often stripped. Waiting on Molly Carew until the last few strides, when she swerved a little, the French filly, full of running, seized the advantage, and won as cleverly as we have seen one do this season by half a length. From the way though that Fille de l'Air had been tried at Hambleton, it is no disgrace to Molly to have succumbed to her, and with a little more rest the Epsom pet will soon be herself again. Wednesday's Derby Day will long be remembered by " those who were there, and those who were not," for the elements, usually so favourable to the celebration of the English Carnival, could not be propitiated even by the first appearance of the Prince of Wales, who entered upon the enjoyment of the scene with as much zest as he showed when he hunted for the first time in '' The Shires.'' But, notwithstanding the severity of the weather, the attendance of the million and every class of his future sub- jects was sufficiently great to make a strong impression on his mind, and to convince him that the sketches which have appeared of the Derby Day in print, and which have been also illustrated by some of our finest artists, have not been exaggerated. Let us hope, then, that as his royal highness has broken the ice, he will ven- ture a second time, when the weather may be as fair as that which Her Majesty is usually greeted with, and then we will promise the heir to the throne a ten times more expressive scene than the one he witnessed on Wednesday, although it would be impossible for us to guarantee him a finer race for the Derby. With Lord Clifden the Derby of Eighteen Hundred and Sixty- three is so much associated, that although he is defeated for it by an accident, over which his jockey had little control, the public can scarcely yet bring themselves to believe in his overthrow. A very Triton among the minnows, he walked round the Paddock, commanding the same attention as a Surplice, a West Australian, or a Wild Dayrell, and it seemed almost an act of heresy to doubt his success. Macaroni, however, it is only due to state, had also his admirers, and he fairly earned them by his blood- like look and exquisite con- dition. Saccharometer rather disappointed his friends, for he gave one the impression of being dry and hurried in his prepara- tion. National Guard yielded to none in point of good looks, and he could not have been made better. Tom Fool was not a taking horse in the Paddock, for he looked so light, but when he gal- loped he went as free and well as his numerous backers could de- sire, but that he could never stay was the general impression. Upon Golden Pledge John Osborne had bestowed an immense amount of labour, and he came to the post as fit as any horse that started. The change in Hospodar, brought about by his change of quarters, was so great as hardly to be credited, for he was full of life and vigour, and put his feet to the ground without any symptoms of soreness. At first glance he is a very striking horse, but with such twisted fore legs, all hopes of his being able to come down the hill vanished in the estimation of those who know how a Derby horse should be made. John Scott's trio were not the benniest he has sent from Whitewall, and as he was not present when they made their toilettes the value of their chance was well estimated. Fantastic did every credit to Goodwin, and it is to be regretted that the accident should have prevented us ascertaining whether he could have stayed over this course in this company. Scamander looked fit enough to account for the fondness of his friends, and the Gillie also evinced how much care had been bestowed upon his preparation. Butitistime to quit the Paddock for thecourse, and to watch that great struggle, the result of which the electric wires are waiting to despatch to the ends of the world. Of the lot as they cantered down in succession it was generally remarked that a better collection of Derby horseshadrarely beenseen. Fromtheirquietmannerof going down, and absence of all temper, it was generally anticipated that there would be none of those exciting scenes at the post which have been enacted for the two last anniversaries. But we were doomed to be disappointed, for Tambour Major proved as riotous as any misdemeanant we have witnessed, refusing either to go up or go back, or join his company ; and although Wells, after using every means of conciliation, had, as a last resource, to have recourse to corporal punishment, all was of no avail, and, after thirty- two failures, Mr M'George thought it right to risk no fur- ther delays, and left the son of Rataplan to his fate. The start altogether was neither better nor worse than three- fourths of those which were not permitted for fear of being supposed to be prejudicial to the chance of Count Batthyany's horse. For glasses there could not have been a worse afternoon, and consequently at first it was difficult to ascertain which were the leading members of the lot; nor does it matter, as none of the cracks emerged from their respective bodies until they had reached the Mile- post, when Lord Clifden was recognised, waiting on Donriybrook. The lat- ter, it may be imagined, did not trouble him long with his company, and in an instant afterwards, if he was joined by the subsequent disagreeable neighbour Macaroni, he was at all events relieved of three very dangerous customers in Saccharometer, King of the Vale, and Fantastic, all three of whom were lying prostrate on the ground at the same time, through Bright Cloud coming in collision with them, and since 1845 a similar collision has not been witnessed on a race course. Fortunately the casual- ties sustained by the jockeys were by no means to be compared to those which happened in the Dee Stakes at Chester, when the sight ofjthe maimed and senseless riders being carried off to the infirmary made such a strong impression on the minds of the populace. Having left Lord Clifden in such a favourable position, we must now return to him where we find him with fresh attendants, in the shape of Tom Fool, King of Utopia, and Gillie. The latter of these is the last disposed of by swerving when apparently going within himself, and from the corner of the Stand, the match for the Derby commenced, ending, to the astonishment of nine- tenths of the spectators, in the public crack defeating the private one by the very shortest of heads that Mr Clarke could conscientiously give. For a moment the excite- ment was terrific, and the friends of both horses gave expression to their feelings in tones which have, no doubt, now calmed down- However, as no new trial could be moved for, the only course to adopt was for the friends of the defeated champion to think of how to pay the damages, and to hope for a more favourable verdict at Doncaster, where the next venue of Lord Clifden will be laid. To Lord St Vincent the result must be both gratifying and distressing; gratifying, because it proved he had not spoken without the best of reasons of the excel- lent chance his horse possessed, and that his trainer had done as much justice to his horse as he had done to every animal that had been confided to him since he had been in practice; and at the same time it was mortifying to have the cup snatched from his lips before he could drain its contents. Whether, if Fordham had waited longer with his horse, he could have reversed the head is a problem we care not to attempt to solve, for it is a dan- gerous attempt to pull a big horse out of his stride a short distance from home, for fear of not again getting him into his action. That he is much mortified at the loss of the race was very evi- dent, but as all he did was for the best he has only to blame the fortune of war, and to reflect upon the truth of the axiom relative to the glorious uncertainty of the English Turf. Mr Naylor's victory is one to which he is fairly entitled, from the spirit with which he has gone into racing ; and The Oaks, Two Thousand, City and Suburban, and Eastern Counties Handicaps, as well as the York Cup, and other races which we have not time to enumerate, prove that his capital has been well laid out on the Turf. In Challoner he is also to be congratulated, for he is a jockey who has made Marson his model in point of patience, while he has steered clear of those follies and vices which so many of his age are in the habit of indulging in, and which have been the means of withdrawing from the patrons of the Turf that respect they once entertained for them. When Saccharometer and King of the Vale's opposition had been withdrawn, and Fantastic put out of the way, the truth of the Two Thousand running was curiously confirmed. That Blue Mantle's chance was improved by the administration of a cart whip to him we cannot believe, and to his repeated breaking away his defeat is. in his own party's estimation, to be attributed. That Fantastic was so soon done with is perhaps a fortunate occurrence for the cracks, for his owner, who makes few mistakes in his trials, had satisfied himself he had got a formidable horse. For many years John Scott had not been so poorly represented in a Derby, but it would seem he was not destined to quit Epsom without reaping fresh laurels in the sister race. That Hos- podar would never come down the hill we have consistently maintained for months in these columns, neither could we recog- nise the stoutness nor the staying powers of Tom Fool, and with no want of patriotism in our veins we found it incumbent on us to oppose the National Guard movement, and with what reason the accounts of the race will show. And so ended a Derby, at once the richest and most extraordinary that the chroniclers of the Turf have had placed at their disposal to record, and which will be engraved alike the memory of every racing tyro and veteran that witnessed it. Thursday's racing was of the same average character as we al- ways have between the Derby and the Oaks, when the course is left to the professionals, and the amateurs are recruiting their energies for the morrow. It was a feather in Count ' Batthyany's cap he should be able to carry oft both the Two Year Old Race with Midnight Mass, beating such a clever mare as Fille de l'Air, and the Bouth Western Stakes with Suburban. The defeat of the French filly was attributed by her jockey to getting badly off and the distance being a quarter of a mile shorter than the Woodcote. Whether this account is correct or not time will show, but we give the statement as it was vouched to us. In the Queen's Plate there was nothing to make Caller Ou gallop, and the public faith in Borealis for the Oaks increased immediately. The Grand Stand Handicap finished, as we were inclined to think it would do, in favour of the Ten Broeck interest; and B& ek- stone's stoppage in the Epsom Cup, from which at the moment dark conclusions were drawn, turns out, we are glad to sSate,. to have arisen solely from natural causes. That the Oaks is anybody's race is a motto which all racing men thorough^ understand, and never was its tiatb. mose- . exemplified than on yesterday, when reverses the most ex- traordinary, as far as public performances were concerned, were discovered. That Lord Stamford had the best of reasons for thinking Sea Nymph could stay longer than Lady Augusta, we I have not the slightest doubt, but at the same time why Marigold, a daughter of Teddington, should be able to stay longer than a Stock well mare is a mystery, the more particularly as over the Ditcr; Mile at Newmarket the pair changed places. That Qneen Bertha had the highest claims to respect from beating Blue Mantle eight lengths over the Abingdon Mile, in the Houghton Meeting, and also running a respectable third to Lord Clifden, at Doncaster, there can be no doubt; and but for the silence of the stable re- specting her, the public money would soon have made her a de- cided favourite. As it was, it took her all her time to beat Mari- gold, and had it not been for the determined exertions of Aldcroft ( who fairly sat down on his mare, and drove her home) we be- lieve the judge would have been compelled to have awarded the race to Marigold. That the pace was not^ very good was clear from Isoline getting fourth ; and, of all the lucky Oaks which John Scott has won, this surely must be reckoned among the most fortunate. The Great 8urrey Stakes was a curious finish to the week. Any odds were betted on Lord Clifden, but only by indomitable gameness did he pull through by a head. To dream of him for Le Grand Prix after this dressing would be absurd, and, unless at once thrown up and nursed with the tenderest care, the St Leger will escape his grasp like the Derby. With Whitsuntide comes round the Manchester meeting, and although for the last nine or ten months the Lancashire mill- owners and their operatives have been suffering the deepest dis- tress from the American war, it is pleasing to be able to discover no falling off in the list which the authorities have issued. The Union Cup on Wednesday, on which day the races com- mence, to suit the Derby settlement on Wednesday, has upwards of 60 subscribers, who ought among them to furnish a field worthy of the reputation the Cup at one time held in the racing world. To dissect to the bone the chances of all that are handicapped at this late hour would be out of the question, and we can only say that Dictator, Cape Flyaway, Victress, and Johnny Armstrong look the most dangerous lot, giving the preference to Victress. The Sapling Stakes has twenty- one two year olds credited to it. None of them are of any very high degree, and perhaps, there- fore, Lord Adolpfcus may be found to be the best, and to him and the dark Blair A'. hol we shall leave the race. The other events are dependent on ihose that precede them, so observations would be of little use respecting them. On Thursday wf have the Manchester Tradesmen's Plate, to which there are nineteen acceptances, Isoline and Golden Pledge being the pair we most fancy for figuring as the winner. The Two Year Oil Stakes, if worthy the attention of the Fisher- man's Daughter, shjuld be carried off by her ; and in the Salford Borough Cup we can see nothing to beat Isoline and Scamander, and our preference vould be for the latter. AN AFTER- THOUGHT ON THE DERBY- Jupiter Pluvius, in his angriest mood, must vent his spite in / am if holiday- making, sight- seeing London sets its mind reso- lutely and irrevocablj on a " day out." The courage and endurance of the sons and daughters of Cockaine have often and again been tested to the very height, and never yet have they shown them, selves unworthy of that noble spirit of determination, not to say obstinacy, which from time immemorial has enabled the English- man bent on enjoying himself to do so, spite of every hindrance and " damper," actual and metaphorical, which malignant fate could bring to bear upon him. There have been drenching Whit- Mondays; the Easter holidays have been inaugurated by storms of rain and sleet; picnicers on Greenwich Hill have con- sumed their cold beef and salad whilst the wind blew keen and raw, and the ground was a quagmire; pleasure- hunting bands have scaled the decks of Gravesend or Margate- bound steamers, and in defiance of bounding spray and ever- increasing qualms, have held their ground triumphantly. The Cockney spirit has risen superior to all these, and from the last and direst trial of all — a pouring wet Derby Day— has passed scatheless and victorious. Let that degenerate son of Gray's Inn- lane or Pentonville who on Wednesday morning refused to occupy the long- appointed seat in van or one- horse chaise, haply even in three- horse omnibus, who feared to pit against descending torrents the white hat. of his af- fections, and the blue coat with brass buttons in which his soul rejoices, and, laying aside these garments, resumed the fustian jacket and soiled white apron of everyday commercial life— let such a renegade expiate, if he can, by deep- biting remorse and passive endurance to ' he revilings of his more hardy comrades the sin he has committed in the eyes of St Epsom. Tap- room gossip and bar- parlour narrative will for weeks to come remind him that, by his cowardly defection from the traditions of his ances- tors, he missed a Derby to be talked and written of so long as the national sport continues to exist. In sober truth, however, from start to finish the great Surrey contest of this year has been one tissue of " sensation,'' and must leave an unsatisfactory shadow of doubt on the mind of everyone taking an interest in the several animals placed hors de combat by the fortune of the race. That the best horse won may fairly be considered a most doubtful point, and, if competent judges who were spectators on Wednes- day were polled as to their opinion, a vast majority would, I am certain, declare that Mr Naylor's horse was more indebted to good luck and admirable jockeyship for his great victory than to his physical superiority to several of his defeated opponents. First ino'rdercomes the hitherto invincible Lord Clifden, who came to the post with excellent public credentials and a private character which led those best competent to judge to believe that, in this magnificent son of Newminster, his noble owner had a tramp card indeed. A single glance at the favourite was sufficient to prove to the merest tyro that the confidence of his friends was not mis- placed, for a truer- shaped horse than Lord Clifden, or one in more blooming condition, was never sent to do battle for the blue riband. It struck me, as he took his preparatory canter, that he went a trifle wide in front, but in every other respect the horse appeared faultless; and it was with the most entire confidence in his success that I saw him, the focus of a battery of race glasses, quietly pass that post which three- quarters of an hour later he was fated, amidst the crack of whips and roar of an excited mul- titude, to stumble past, victory snatched from his grasp in the laststride. To deny that Macaroni ran a good game horse is im- possible, and the plucky manner in which he responded to Chal- loner's call proved clearly enough that the 8weetmeat blood, when judiciously crossed, is not deserving of the stigma of softness, wh ich it has been the fashion to cast upon it. The success of the horse, however, naturally directs attention to the chance which, taking the Two Thousand Guineas line, Saccharometer must certainly have possessed but for his unfortunate accident; known to be several pounds better than on the day of his Newmarket defeat, his friends reckoned, and I think not unjustly, on his beating the Hooton Hall champion, if not returned as the absolute winner. At the moment of his fall he was coming rapidly through his horses, and although it is unfair to take advantage of his mishap to make assertions which can never be disproved, yet I cannot help believing that the black would, notwithstanding the peculiar hind action to which so many took exception, if lie had kept on his legs, have proved a sore thorn in the side of Macaroni. His brother in misfortune, King of the Vale, attracted an immense deal of at- tention, owing to his great size and power and splendid top, and, if good looks made Derby winners, the Baron would have had a chance second to few indeed of at last pulling off the object of his ambition. His King Tom parentage would, however, in my opinion have been some bar to the horse's success had the tumble not occurred. No animal in the race cut up worse than Mr Brayley's great pot— Tom Fool— and it certainly is astonishing to find men, and men generally considered good judges too, putting their money to such heavy amounts on a horse who, in addition to the drawback of the same non- staying blood as King of the Vale, had on two occasions last season proved himself an unmistakable cur, a defect of which no hor » e can ever be cured. The great mass of the London public, as usual, stood the animal which was most bruited about as a good thing, and Tom Fool therefore was responsible for the loss of more money than I ever remember being put on a horse whose antecedents had been so unfavourable, the furore to back him not dying out until within a day of the race, when the appearance of the horse, who was as narrow as a yard wand, opened people's eyes, too late, to the folly of backing puffed- up impostors at the instigation of others, instead of trusting to their own common sense and judgment, which in this case could not have led them wroig. Hospodar ran as execrably badly as might have been expected from his wretched exhibition in the Two Thousand Guineas, and no one who saw his fore legs at that time should ever have believed him capable of winning over such a course as Epsom, although more than one clever judge did so to his cost; but the Frenchman's bad performance could not have been one whit more surprising to his friends than was Blue Mantle's unex- pected appearance at the finish to the spectators in general. In beaut'ful condition, and going as well as anything in his canter, it was nevertheless out of the question to believe in him after the way in which he cut up at Newmarket; that the soft ground at Epsom suited him better than the adamantine " going " on the Two Thousand Guineas day was, however, evident, and after all it is possible that the disposition to run " cunning," which the horse has more than once exhibited, has been weeded out of him by the rest he no doubt required after his severe work during the summer months of last year. Had No. 1 on the card proved No. 1 in the race the Downs would have re- echoed to a louder cheer than ever startled Surrey rooks and pigeons before, and Rapid Rhone, as it was, was within an ace of landing the colours of that good and popular sportsman, Lord Glasgow, in the van at last. The forward position of the roan did credit to Tom Dawson's judgment, and only shows how dangerous it is to run counter to the expressed opinion of so talented a trainer ; for notwithstanding the horse's ignominious defeat in the Two Thousand Guineas, Dawson, I believe, main- tained to the end that Rapid Rhone was a good horse, and would on this or some future occasion prove himself publicly to be so. That promising sire Young Melbourne, whose subscription is full, will no doubt still reward his owner for sending so many of his best mares to an animal comparatively untried. The Gillie, on public form not within a stone and a half of a Derby winner, ran as badly as a Tadmor might have been expected to do over the distance; and National Guard completely bore out the opinion so general at his own training quarters as to his inability to stay the course in good company. Nothing in the race, however, with the exception of the favourite, took the eye of the observer more ; and I regret, for Mr Watt's sake, that so good- looking a horse should have performed so indifferently. Of the rest, Golden Pledge, though lacking quality, pleased me, and will yet credit John Osborne with a good stake. ORANGE BLOSSOM. STUD NEWS. Maggie, a filly by Lambton, and named Ne Plus Ultra.

NEWMARKET.— UpoE the arrival of the intelligence of Maca- roni's success for the Derby, considerable exciteaient took place, amongst all classes in the town. The bells rang merry peals, and great was the joy exhibited at the success of so good a sportsman as R. C. Naylor, Esq, there having existed for- some time a strong desire that a horse trained at Newmarket might be fortunate enough to win the Derby. Several strings have been removed lately to other training localities to complete » their preparation for the Epsom and Ascot engagements, but Godding never thought it necessary to leave, as " the Lime Kilns" has always been level, and very good going. Blackdown, 3 yrs, has recently changed hands. Walloon, 4 yrs, is now trained by T. Brown, at Stockbridge. Overton and Ernest are advertised for, sate at TattersalFs on Monday. Amy was purchased at Harpenden la3t week by Mr Beit Land for 300 guineas.. Mr Verrall has been appointed clerk of the course for Abingdon and Hungerford. Gardener was sold a few days since, to go abroad, for josS short of £ 1,000. Ben Webster, 5 yrs, is struck out of all his engagemants, and will be put to the stud. Mr 8tarkey's yearlings will be sold on Monday next, at Messrs Tattersall's, and it is said that some are very promising. We are requested to state that Dr Syntax has left Wcodyeates for Richard Cooper's stables, Newmarket; and not for C. Green's. CHELMSFORD RACES.— The new Stand erected will be ready for occupation on the occurrence of this meeting next month. Lapidist and Dunkeld were struck, out of the Ascot. Stakes im- mediately after the appearance of the weights. Orbit, by Planet, was sold on Monday last at Tattersall's, for 25gs. Andromeda, 2 yrs, was sold after her race at Epsora on Tuesday to Mr G. Reynolds, for £ 10. Mr J. Deane having sold'Eidolon for 700 sovs, has scratched him for all his engagements. He goes, we believe, to France. Mr J. La Mert's colt foal by The Dupe out of Carlotta has been named Simpleton. Mr G. Walker has sold the steeple chase horse 3edwing to Mr 8. Styan, of Newton- on- Ouse, near York, for 200gs; he was shipped on Wednesday last at Hull for Antwerp* GRAND PRIX DE PAEIS.— The smaller forfeit for this race must be declared to M Grandhomme, 30, Rue de Gramont, Paris, by four o'clock in the afternoon oi Friday, May 29; Harry Hall is engaged to paint the portrait? of Macarsni, the Derby winner, for Messrs Baily. This will be- No. I. of their new series of Celebrated BUce Horses. W. Bottom, the jockey, requests us to state that ihere is no. foundation whatever to the report that he would not be allowsd to ride again in France. By a mistake in the telegram Bedford'( late Peimis) was- en- tered as Old Bedford at Redditch, but as Mr Jobnson at onae detected the error he was handicapped as Bedford. Idramtea ( h b), by Vedette out of Sistar to Mr Sykes, 2 yrs, has arrived at W. Channel's stables, Ilsley, to be trasned for iier en- gagements. " BEVERLEY, HULL, AND EAST RIDING RACES.— Several stakes for these rases close and name on the first Tuesday in June. Par- ticulars will appear in our paper of May 31. Stephen Norton, late in the employ of Mr B. Jones, of Rock ley, Wilts, is now engaged as private trainer and jockey to Mr J. Porter, of Guernsey, where Sam Slick, aged, and Lady Lovell, 5 yrs, are under his charge. DONCASTER SEPTEMBER MEETING.— We are requested to state that the Revival Plate, for two year olds and upwards, weight for age, Red House in; and the Eglinton Stakes, with 100 added, for two and three year olds, also weight for age, close and name on Tuesday next. The entries are progressing favourably. SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING.— This meeting will com- mence 011 Monday, the 16th November, instead of Tuesday, fcho 17th. as previously announced, and will probably extend over five days. By commencing on the Monday, Mr Frail will. WTO, the Queen's guineas, by the sanction of Lord Aylesbury. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, MAY 24, 1863. RAGING IN" FRANCE. THE FRENCH DERBY AT CHANTILLY. ( FROM OUE OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Wlien it was first officially announced that a great race of 100,000f had been established at Paris, to be run for by three year olds of all countries, some very serious ideas were entertained that this new event would so entirely engross the attention of French Turfites as to diminish the interest that has always been attached to the French Derby, and that it would in time throw it so completely in the shade as to ® ccas? ion its becoming a very in- significant event. This, however, we are now convinced, can never be the case; for in tracing the progress with regard to the general importance that has been attached to this race during past years we find that the present anniversary has greatly surpassed all Srevious ones, both as regards the important circumstances that ave been connected with it, and for the interest and increased amount of speculation that has been depending on its result. Although betting on the race did not commence at quite so early a period as usual, many more speculators than have hitherto come to the scratch have opened books upon it. As soon as business commenced, and to wards the end of March, our return lists exhibited very good figures, commencing with 12 to 1 against the first fa- vourite, Fleur de Mai, who was considered the most worthy of confidence from her last year's running ; 16 to 1 against Marjolet, who was fancied on account of his relationship to Souvenir; and from 20 to 30 to 1 was laid against both Stenter and Charles Martel, • who have both seen very short prices since that date. How the favourites were elevated to high positions, and how they were sent back again to the outside divisions during the Paris meeting, has all been explained in our recent reports, and we have also informed our readers how, on the first day at Chantilly, nearly every calculation was quite upset by La Toucques, who had hitherto been considered the greatest outsider in the race, coining out and giving the fillies that had so far been the best performers such a beating as to make the French Derby appear almost a certainty for Mr Montgomery's filly. But even this calculation did not appear quite such a moral towards the middle of the week, for during the afternoon of Thursday's Chantilly Races whispers circu- lated that Armagnac was likely to be a starter, and that he had been kept in the background on purpose for it, and that if he did really come he was sure to win it in a canter. The report of his coming, however, was generally disbelieved, and Baron Niviere having told us that Lord Stam- ford at Newmarket had declared to him that he had not the slightest intention of sending either of the horses for the event, we of course paid no attention to the report. We must, however, mention that the baron gave us the information in good faith, for he laid against the horse all Thursday afternoon and evening to the amount of 60,000f to 10,000f, and he also pursuaded all his friends to lay against him rather than back him. Lord Stamford also must be acquitted from contemplating the least deception, for it appears that his lordship never thought of Armagnac for the French Derby until the Tuesday of Bath races, when he was in- formed that La Toucques had won the Oaks at Chantilly in a can- ter, and considering that Livingstone had recently made a very great example of La Toucques at York, it of course appeared pro- bable that it would oniy require a common one to carry off' the French Derby of 1863. His lordship, therefore, had Armagnac tried on Wednesday morning, and the trial, which we are told was with Onesander and Flying Fish, proving satis factory, no time was then lost in obtaining the services of a very clever commissioner, whose orders were to win £ 10,000 at the best price. Through telegraphic despatches to Paris half the money was booked in less than 10 hours, upon which the horse was sent by special train to Folkestone, and £ 100 was offered to charter a steamer across for him; this could not be man- aged, and he had to wait some hours for the ordinary boat, but, by the aid of a special train from Boulogne, which cost nearly £ 50, he was enabled to reach Chantilly by Friday evening. On Saturday morning he took a gallop in the big ride, led by the hurdle race horse, Rigoletto, and by those who saw him he was greatly disliked, for all declared that he did not seem able to go fast enough to keep pace with Rigoletto, and that his condition • was anything but good, for he was very big, and, when he pulled up, the sweat quite poured off him. Having now referred to the circumstances that principally transpired previous to the race, we must turn to immediate business of the Derby day, which opened under rather unpropitious auspices, for from daylight very heavy rain fell, and continued until nearly ten o'clock, by which time it fortunately cleared up. As it was, the rain did immense good, for the running ground, which was previously as hard as it could be, was now rendered capital going. The sun, too, made his appear- ance duringtheforenoon, andby one o'clock every part of the course was crowded, the attendance being greater than we have ever seen on any race course in Fiance before, though we noticed but few visitors from England, and we fancied the toilettes on the Stands presented hardly such a gay appearance as we have • witnessed on previous Derby days. The first bell rung for the Prix Imperial punctually at two, and for it Orphelin, Gabrielle d'Estrees, and Panique came to the post, and Mons Aumont's horse, meeting Gabrielle on 51b better terms than he did the pre- vious Sunday, found no difficulty in winning it easily. A selling race was next | on the card, and was won by Volta, and then the Handicap, which brought thirteen together, was won, after a good run race, by the top weight, Noelie, who gave several of the youngsters behind her 301b for the year. The great event stood next to be decided, and, as usual, a considerable time was allowed the public for inspection in the paddock, which was immediately so crowded that there was scarcely a lane left large enough for the horses to walk round. We expect the authorities will have to enlarge this paddock ere another anniversary, for although the palings were thrown back two seasons ago, the space is still very inadequate on a great occasion like the Derby. Of course, Armagnac was the greatest attraction, as the commission that had been executed about him made him an immense favourite, and although he appeared rather jolly in condition, he was greatly admired, for his fine commanding appearance presented a peculiar contrast to the se- cond favourite. La Toucques, whose quiet, unpresuming walk might have led one to suppose that she was a matron, instead of a ffrst- class three year old. She was looking remarkably well, however, and her condition was as perfect as man could make it. Next to these, perhaps, Souvenir's brother, Marjolet, came in for the greatest amount of gape- seed ; he is a good- looking colt, though not so well shaped as his brother, being rather short and a trifle leggy. Dollar looked the picture of neat- ness and condition; and Demon was greatly fancied by his party, the Duke de Morny fondly patting him on the neck whilst he was being saddled; and we really think that the duke and all his stable were quite happy at last in the belief that they had now got a sound Partisan. On our return to the Stand through the enclosure we found in the ring that both the favourites were very firm, as was also De- mon ; and the next to these who was mentioned most was Don- Jon, whose owner was confident enough about him to te- legraph for John Osborn to ride him, but in this he was dis- appointed, and was obliged, at last, to put up Flatman, jun. In their preliminary canters Dollar's beautiful sweeping action was admired the most, and then Marjolet's style, and Charles Martel's. La Toucques is a slovenly mover in her slow paces, and Armagnac went rather short, though the style that was disliked the most was Demon's, who, oa the Turf is about the most scrambling goer we have ever seen. The description of the race, will be found below; suffice here to state that the pace for the first three parts of a mile was very bad, and that as soon as it improved it became too good for Ar- magnac, who, from this point, was almost out of the race. La Toucques, however, ran a good honest filly throughout, and won almost as easily as she did the Oaks on the preceding Sunday. Dollar ran a very game horse, for he was in difficulties a long way from home. Marjolet also finished a game one, and Ashmall considers he should have got nearer had not the horse shown temper during the early part of the race, and refused to go up to his horses. The greatest imposter, however, in the race, was decidedly Demon, and it is surprising how Smith could have made such a mistake in fancying him a good one. Since Madame Latache de Fay won the Derby in 1860, we have not seen a victory received with so much satisfaction as Mr Montgomery's was last Sunday. Fortune could not have taken a better turn, for the owner of La Toucques bears not the character of the speculative turfite, but of the sports- man. Englishmen, too, will relish this victory for a country- man, and this reminds us that the report that has gone abroad that Mr Montgomery is an American is not correct, Mr Mont- gomery being an Englishman by birth, though his family have lived tor many years on the Continent; he is a very near rela- tive to the Earl of Eglinton, which probably accounts for his oolours being almost similar, and also for his partiality to Fobert's stable— a patronage that Fobert has proved himself worthy of, as proved by the superb condition that La Toucques has been brought out in. Fobert was unable to accompany the mare to La Belle France, but his deputy, Alfred Briggs, was, we are sure, quite competent to go over and bring back the Derby. Doyle was the fortunate jockey of La Toucques in both the Oaks and Derby, and his quiet style seemed to suit the mare admirably. La Toucques was bred by Mr Montgomery, at his chateau called Feverac, between Caen and Paris. When she was a yearling Mr Montgomery wanted to sell her, together with the rest of his blood stock, having at that time two brood mares, a yearling colt by The Flying Dutchman out of Allumette, and La Toucques. The mares, of which one was Tapestry, La Toucques's dam, he sold to M F. Le Maitre, of Eouen, but for the yearlings he could not fefc the price he asked ( we believe about 12,000f for the two). [ Lupin, however, subsequently had the choice of the pair, for 5,000f, and chose the colt— fortunately for Mr Montgomery— for from what we have seen of Boques ( M Lupin's colt) we believe he is a very bad one. Mr Montgomery kindly allowed us to have a peep at the Derby winner in her stable after the race, so we had a good opportunity to take a description of her, which will be found below. By this it will be seen that, although La Toucques is not a handsome mare, she possesses wonderfully good points, and when one sees her really extended, her action denotes great mus- cular development. There are few large winners over the race— Mr Montgomery netting a tolerable stake, of which, however, he divides a good deal amongst his friends; but to several, we are told, the result will prove very adverse, and already hints are thrown out of a bad settling day for the French Derby of 1863. SUNDAY, MAY 17.— PRIX IMPERIAL of 5,000f, for four year olds and upwards that have never won a first- class Government prize; entrance 300f, h ft; the second received half the en- tries ; weight for age, with penalties, & c; heats, two miles four furlongs; 4 subs.

Panique made steady running, waited upon by Orphelin, and Gabrielle lay in the rear to the White House the second time round, when Orphelin headed Panique, and was joined at the distance by Gabrielle d'Estrees ; but Pratt, seeing that the horse had the best of it, ceased riding his mare opposite the Stands, and Panique then re- passing her, was beaten three lengths from the favourite ; bad third.— Second heat: Panique again led, Gabrielle d'Estrees going second and Orpelin third to the stables for the second time, when the favourite drew in front, and never afterwards being headed won easily by a length and a half; bad third. PRIX DES ETANGS of l, 500f, for three year olds and upwards; entrance 50f ; the winner to be claimed for 3,000f; weight for age, with selling allowances, & c; one mile four furlongs; 4 sabs. M II.

Lancier jumped off'with the lead, which he maintained to the stables, when he fell back, and the lot then raced in a group down the hill and up the other side, when Oberon took the lead, and held it to the Well, where Yolta joined him, and, getting the best of it after a short struggle, drew right away by himself, and won easily by two lengths. Lancier was a very bad third. PRIX DE L'EMPEREUR ( Handicap) of 2,000f, for three year olds and upwards; entrance 50f; one mile two furlongs; 23 subs.

Carine was first off, followed by Noelie, Audacieuse, Montretout, Grande Puissance, Lucida, and Don Juan in the order named, and then came L'Aventuri& re, Ko- quille and Muse, lying together, and at their heels came Bonne Aventure, whilst Braschi and Bonne d'Enfant, the latter of whom lost some start, brought up the extreme rear. Carine soon fell back, and after rounding the Reservoirjturn, Montretout drew right up to the front rank, and running nearly parallel with her down the straight © n the far side was seen Noelie, Grande Puis- sance, Don Juan and Roquille, all together, with Audacieuse well up; and then four or five lengths intervened between the next lot, which was headed bv L'Aventurifere and Muse. Excepting that at the stables the favourite was seen last of everything, there • was hardly any change in positions worthy of note until they had come to the White Bouse, at which point Msntretout seemed to liava the race in hand, but dying away in the straight, she was first passed by Koquille, and then by Noelie, L'Aventuriere, Muse, and Lucida, the race seeming in doubt amongst this lot to the distance, when Noelie got her head in front, and gradually increasing her advantage, won very cleverly at last by half a length; a very good finish for second place resulting in favour of Muse by a neck over L'Aventuriere, who was two lengths in front of Roquille, who was fourth, Lucida was fifth, Montretout sixth, Don Juan seventh, and Carine was last. PRIX DU JOCKEY CLUB ( French Derby) of 20,000f, for three year olds; colts 1081b, and fillies 1051b; entrance l, 000f, 600 ft, and 500 only if declared; the second received 2,000f out of the stakes; one mile four furlongs; 50 subs, of whom 30 declared ft. 1.

Bilboquet having the inside berth, being the leader, as they walked down past the stands, and Gentilhomme was second, Victot Pontfol third, Grande Dame and Demon the next two, and the two favourites were together, Armagnac having drawn the number for sixth place, and La Toucques for seventh; thus they were marshalled down almost to the turn, when the baron brought the lot round without any difficulty, and get- ting them in capital line dropped his flag rather below the post for one of the most beautiful starts ever witnessed, Ar- magnac and La Toucques getting, if anything, the best of it, but both declining to take the advantage by making running.

Faust headed the next lot, which comprised Demon, Don Jon, Vaucresson, and Marjolet, the last mentioned having reared up at start, by which he lost a two or three lengths; the rear of the whole division being brought up by Scamandre, though before reaching the first turn Demon too^ the office of whipper- in, and at the Reservoirs, Victot Pontfol fell back, but the pace was very bad all down the straight on the far side until reaching the nearest corner of the stable, at which point Magny went up through his horses and took third place, and the pace was now very per- ceptibly improving, which seemed to be having an effect upon the favourite, for Edwards was here obliged to move on him to make him keep his place; these movements were increased as they approached the further end of the stables, for here Grande Dame rushed away from the side of Bilboquet, and going up to Gentilhomme raced with him for a few strides down the hill, when the horse compounded, and Mr Carter's filly then led at a great pace through the dip and up the other side, with Magny at first for her nearest attendant, but he soon dropped off, which left Dollar again second, and rising the hill Flibustier, La Toucques, Faust, Armagnac, and Marjolet all lay grouped together, about a couple or three lengths in the rear of M Lupin's horse. Grande Dame presented such a formidable front as they came fairly into the straight- that the shouts from the Stand proclaimed her the winner, though passing the White House, Dollar went up and had her sale in a very few strides, and in the next instant Doyle was seen shaking La Toucques along through the ruck, and getting clear of the lot without much difficulty, headed Dollar at the Well, and then having it all her own way rau home a gallant winner by about a length and a half; two clear lengths separating Faust from Dollar, and Marjolet, who made a very game effort at last, finished a neck from the third; at an interval of two lengths then came Grande Dame, who liad Armagnac at her quarters, sixth, and Fiibustier was seventh, Charles Martel eighth, Don Jon ninth, and Demon, who lay quite in the rear from the Reservoirs turn, was the abso- lute last Net value of the stake 47,400f. PEDIGREE, DESCRIPTION, AND PERFORMANCES OF THE WINNER. La Toucques, by The Baron out of Tapestry, by Melbourne, is a chesrmt filly, with a small white star on her forehead, a few white hairs scattered over her quarters, and a few in her tail. She stands 15 hands 3 inches high, and is remarkable for her great length. She has a plain head, long ewe neck, good shoulders, well let back, fine long arms, and is wonderfully short from the knee to the fetlock. She exhibits a good length of quarter, but her hocks are a trifle straight; her legs and ieet, however, are perfection. La Toucques never ran as a two year old, but appeared first in public last Spring Meeting at York, where she was a bad third in the Knavesmire Plate, won by Livingstone. On the 10th of May, at Chantilly, she won the French Oaks, beating eight others in a canter, and on the 17th of May she won the French Derby almost as easily, beating fifteen others. La Toucques is engaged in the Grande Prix de Paris, which is run for on ttie 31st of this month. WINNERS OF THE FRENCH DERBY. Jockeys. 1836. Lord II. Seymour's Franck, by Rainbow T. Robinson. 1837.

MR EDITOR : Having read in your last edition an account of the above races, in which is mentioned the unfortunate accident that occurred to Mr Lupin's horse Merlin, your correspondent says he cannot understand why Mr Lupin or his trainer did not give more decided orders to have the horse killed in a more merciful manner. I think it only just to inform you and others that his trainer, through me, requested some Gendarmes who were there to have the horse shot at once, but that request was not complied with, as for some cause or other it was forbidden to let off'firearms in the park, which reason they did not give me. Then I asked if he might be bled to death, but that again did not suit the gentlemen, as they said that would make a disgusting sight for the people. Now, Mr Editor, I ask you which would have been the most disgusting to witness, a horse struggling on three legs with a pork butcher, who was hitting him with a small hammer till his brains were knocked out, or to have quietly bled the poor animal to death ? I hope in future if such an accident occurs on a French course that the autherities will allow the poor brute to be shot, and not hammered to death in the brutal manner that Merlin was last Sunday week. Apologising for troubling you with my humble account of the above,— I am, yours, & c, HUMANITAS. CONTINENTAL RACES AND STEEPLE CHASES TO COME. MAY.

Berners, from the eastward, and on the 21st Florence, Duke of Leeds, from Southampton.— Departures: 18th, the Sabrina, J. Naylor, for Portland; 21, Volage, Lord Colville, for the western ports.— Yachts at the station : Florence, Tyne, and Egret. It blew a heavy gale in this neighbourhood on Tuesday, May 19, from the northward and eastward, accompanied with a rolling sea, which caused a small yacht of 15 tons, called the Gazelle, to part from her moorings. She was driven upon the rocks off the Parade, and became seriously damaged; the whole of her planks started from the stem, and part of her bilge and topsides stove in Agreeable to custom at the commencement of the season we pre- sent a few statistics of the progress of this club, which continues to enjoy its prestige in the list of royal yacht clubs. The number of its members and yachts continues about the same. The addition of the new members elected at the annual general meeting in London about equals the ebbing and flowing of the list caused by death or retirement. Among the deaths to be recorded we find Sir G. E. Hamond, G. C. B., late Admiral of the Fleet; the Earl Canning, late Governor- General of India; the Marquis of Bread- albane, Sir H. B. Hoghton, Bart; Mr J. Lickford, and Viscount Templetown. 1863 presents a total of 191 members and 420 honorary members. There are 36 Admirals, 51 Vice- Admirals, 67 Rear- Admirals, and 126 Captains and Commanders of the Royal Navy. 110 yachts bear the St George's ensign, with a computed tonnage of 13.451— viz, 59 schooners, 8,117 tons; 27 cutters, 1,647 tons ; 13 yawls, 996 tons ; 2 luggers, 309 tons ; 9 steamers, 1,801 tons ; and the ship Sylphide, belonging to the Marquis of Town- shire, of 481 tons, exclusive of some few yachts in the course of construction.

HORNSEY WOOD HOUSE.— On Saturday, May 16, these grounds were well attended byT the aristocratic club members, who shot a great many handicap sweepstakes at birds, from 25 to 31 yards rise, with double guns not exceeding 11 bore. The principal winners were Major Anson, Mr Robinson, Mr Lamont, Mr Gil- mour, Lord Beaumont, Captain Peyton, and Captain W. Peyton. Colonel Annesley and Captain Peyton shot a match at 11 birds each, 30 yards rise, from 5 traps, and the former wou, bringing down 7 birds, and his opponent six. Barber supplied the birds, and they gave great satisfaction. To be shot for at Mr A. W.

At the Lilley Arms, North End, Fulham, the gentleman who had to kill 16 birds out of 30, on Thursday, May 14, only killed 5 out of 21, and left off'. The birds were first rate. A match fer £ 10 a side will take place on Wednesday, May 27, between the Veteran Stranger and Mr Sky, at 11 birds each, the Squire stand- ing at 15 yards and Mr Sky at 21.

Slater's Dart and J. Gatar's Billy, fixed for decision at the Bull's Head, Gorton, near Manchester, on May 27, is off, Slater having forfeited £ 1. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB The first races of the club for the season, open to yachts of any rig, of any recognised yacht club, are to take place on Wednesday, May 27, for prizes already announced. The Queen of the Thames steamboat has been engaged to accompany the matches, and will leave Brunswick Pier, Blackwall, at ten o'clock. The entries closed on Wednesday evening at the club house, and present a very fine fleet for the first class, although but an indifferent one for the second. The lists are as follows:— FIRST CLASS. STATION. YACHT. TONS. OWNER. 1. PHRYNE 55 T. Seddon 2. PHOSPHORUS 50 W. Turner 3. VINDEX 45 A. Duncan 4. CROSADER 30 S. Haden 5. AMAZON 46 H. F. Smith 6. THE QUEEN 38 Capt J. W. Whifbread 7. AUDAX 59 Capt J. H. Johnson Course, Erith to the Nore and back. Haifa minute time allow- ance for difference of tonnage. The Phryne is stated to be en- tirely new, from lines by Hatcher, and designed to beat the Phos- phorus, which is an exceedingly fine and fast boat, and has done some smart work in Ireland. The Vindex is an en- tirely new boat, built by Mr Harrison from Hatcher's design, and is expected to be found " a crack." The Crusader is two or three years old, and there is nothing much expected of her in the race, although she is entitled to a very large time al- lowance. The Amazon is a fine weatherly craft, but not adapted for wagering like her rivals, and she may not go. The Queen is well known as formerly the Lurline, and also will be entitled to the time allowance from every yacht in the race but the Cru- sader. The Audax is well known by name to yachtsmen, but she has been wholly rebuilt, and may literally be considered a new boat; whether the change in her will increase the reputation of her name remains to be seen. SECOND CLASS. YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWNER. 1. FOLLY 12.. W. L., Parry 3. ALEXANDRA.. 15.. G. Harrison 2. VAMPIRE .... 14.. CaptCommerel | The course the same as the first class, with same time allow- ance. The Folly and Vampire are both well- known favourites, but the Alexandra is quite new. 8he is the iron boat built by Mr G. Harrison, at the Millwall Ship Building Company's yard, for the international match of the Prince of Wales Yacht Club, and great alacrity must be exercised to get her afloat and in any thing like trim by Wednesday; but there is every reason to believe that she will be brought to the starting post. The May meeting of this club was held on Monday evening, May 18, at the Caledonian Hotel, Adelphi, the Commodore, Mr Arcedeckne, in the chair, faced by Mr Smith, the Vice. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, Messrs J. C. Morice. W. N. Rudge, T. Oughterlony, J. Davie, J. W. Johns, and S. Walker were duly elected members.— The Vice- Commodore said it was his pleasing duty to come before them as the representative of the sailing committee to recommend Mr G. Harrison for election as Rear- Commodore, and he could assure them that the feeling of the committee in that gentleman's favour was unanimous. He was known by many members of that club, to which he had belonged a long time, and had held office in another similar institution with the highest satisfaction. He was a great sporting man in the way of yachting, and he had only to mention that he was the owner of the Diana, Vision, and another beautiful vessel to show that he was a very spirited and enter- prising sailor. He had no doubt that he should receive from the meeting a favourable response to his nomination, and he must add that in choosing Mr Harrison as their Rear- Commodore they would gain a man who would urge them forward, and increase the prosperity and popularity of their club. He was a man of few words, but what he said was much to the purpose, and his actions would show the eligibility of the choice he had no doubt they would that evening make.— The Commodore seconded the nomi- nation, and said he had very great pleasure in doing so, as he had known Mr Harrison for many years, and fully concurred in what had fallen from the Vice- Commodore.— Mr Eagle, the treasurer, said that after the able and hearty manner in which Mr Harrison had been proposed and seconded any lengthened observations of his would be superfluous, but he had known him many years, and would bear testimony to the fact that he was not only an able and fitting man for the post, but took a warm interest in the club, and was a most spirited sup- porter of the yachting interests. He had particularly identified himself with small yacht sailing, in which he had carried off a prize with the Vision last week, and was now building a 15 ton yacht for the International Match of the Prince of Wales Yacht Club race, on the 9th of June. He was not a theoretical but a practical man, and his election would be highly calculated to ad- vance the interests of the club.— Mr Alex. Crosley also bore testi- mony to Mr Harrison's desire to promote the interests of yacht- ing. He had been away at Birkenhead, where he had shown the power of his craft in many a gallant race, but although away from the metropolis had been at heart a warm supporter of the Royal London Yacht Club. He was now sojourning in London, and would be as leading a yachting man in their waters as he had been at Birkenhead. He was sure the club would never regret the choice that it was asked to make that evening ; he was sure they would make it, as he would be a great acquisition to the club, and it would be his aim and study to promote its interests.— On the motion of the Commodore, Mr Harrison was elected Rear- Commodore by acclamation.— The Vice- Commodore then drew the attention of the cl ub to the international yacht race of the Prince of Wales Yacht Club ( entries for which are to close on the 4th of June, and not the 5th, as has been erroneously stated). He said that that race would take place on the 9th, the Royal London matches on the 10th, and the Royal Thames on the 11th, so that there would be no lack of sport in the Thames that week. At a meeting of the sailing committee, held on Monday, May 18, it was determined to add the following condition to those already published for the extra match, for prizes presented by the flag officers and treasurer, which is to be sailed on the 10th of June next, viz:—" That no yacht built since the 1st of January, 1862, be eligible." ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. The adjourned meeting of the Royal Thames Yacht Club for the election of flag officers and treasurer was held on Tuesday evening, May 19, at the club house, Albemarle- street; Lord W. Lennox in the chair. The secretary having read the minutes, Mr Mackenzie brought forward his " protest'' against the non- confirmation of the previous minutes, which resulted in the minutes being confirmed as correctly inserted and signed by the chairman. After a stormy discussion, the election of flag officers and treasurer was further postponed, and on a division, a com- mittee of five members was appointed to act in lieu of Commodore and Vice- Commodore at the matches; but this resolution being in direct contravention of Article 3 of the Sailing Regulations ( which directs that the general committee must appoint a president for the match in the absence of both Commodore and Vice- Com- modore), two " protests" were entered, one of which was signed by sixteen members, consequently the matter will be discussed at the special general meeting, announced for Monday, May 25, at eight p. m. Notwithstanding the untoward dissensions prevalent ot late in this club, we are happy in being able to announce the following fine meeting of clipper cutters for the first- class match on Thursday, May 28, viz :— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. 1. VINDEX 45 A. Duncan 2. CHBISTABEL 48 H. H. Kennard 3. PHBTNE 55 T. Seddon 4. AMAZON 46 H. F. Smith 5. THE QUEEN 38 Capt J. W. C. Whitbread 6. PHOSPHORUS 50 W. Turner 7. AUDAX 59 J. H. Johnson The course will be from Erith round the Nore, and return, with a time allowance of half a minute per ton, and the vessels re- quiring measurement must be at Gravesend at eleven a. m. on Tuesday, May 26, in lieu of Wednesday, the latter day being that for the London match. The band of the 2d Life Guards ( by the kind permission of Colonel Howard Vyse) will attend on board the steamboat Prince of Wales ( Capt Williams.), engaged by the club to attend the match, which is expected to produce a fine and exciting race. Of the clippers entered the cognoscenti prefer the Phosphorus. The Phryne, constructed by the same builder ( Hatcher of Southampton), jwil. lmake hermaiden trial. The Vin- dex, a new iron boat, from the Thames Iron Works, will also make her debut, and we might also add the Audax, which is almost a new Audax, having been recently all but re- constructed by Harvey. The Christabel and Amazon have been more than once described, and The Queen, 38, is the racing Lurline, built by Wanhill, and has sailed some matches in Ireland amongst the re- nowned clippers of Cork and Kingstown. The general committee are appointed to meet on Monday, May 25, when, doubtless, they will select some first- rate yachtsman from their body to act as president of the match. The club steamer on Thursday, May 28, will leave the Adelaide Wharf, London Bridge, punctually at ten a. m., direct for Erith. ROYAL WESTERN YACHT CLUB OF IRELAND- In addition to Her Majesty's Cup and that presented by Sir R. Peel to be run for at the regatta of this club on June 18, Mr W. Inman of Liverpool has presented a very handsome silver chal- lenge cup of the value of 50 guineas, to which the committee purpose adding a purse of sovereigns, and have determined to add a second day to the regatta, namely June 19. Amongst the vessels expected to compete for these prizes are the Vindex, Phryne, Phosphorus, Audax, Marina, Surf, iEolus, Chrystabel, and Siren ; together with the Sibyl, Avalanche, Lurline, Thought, and Cymba. so that two first- rate days' sailing may be anticipated. In our advertising columns full particulars of the prizes, entrance fees, & c, will be found, and we are glad to see that shifting ballast will be strictly prohibited. There will be a £ 1- 5 cup for small yachts, and several rowing matches for gigs, man- of- war boats,& c. A banquet will be given at the club house to the assembled yachtsmen, and a display of fireworks from the club quay will conclude the meeting. NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK YACHT CLUB. The opening trip of this club fer the current season took place on Thursday, May 21. It had been determined that a cruise should be made from Great Yarmouth to Reedham, and that the yachts should rendezvous near the New Bridge at Yarmouth. A considerable muster was expected, but the high winds which had prevailed during the previous day or two, coupled with slightly stormy weather, prevented the arrival of several gentlemen from the Norwich and Beccles districts. Several of these, however, reached the rendezvous at Reedham, where the main body of the club fleet arrived at about two p. m. on Thursday. The weather on Thursday was highly encouraging, a fine spanking breeze blowing from the north- east, with moderately bright skies over- head. The little squadron which assembled at Yarmouth cast off from the moorings at about 11: 30, and as the yachts began to gather way the spectacle presented was highly animated and in- teresting. The squadron comprised the Red Rover, Mr S. Night- ingale, 14 tons, Great. Yarmouth; the Vialet, Mr P. Bennet, 13 tons, Ipswich; the Vampire, Mr W. Everett, 8 tons, Cove ; the Isabella, Mr C. H. Chamberlain, 12 tons, Yarmouth ; the Belvi- dere, Mr W. H. Clabburn, 9 tons, Norwich; the Vindex, Mr J. Tomlinson, 9 tons, Yarmouth; the Enchantress, Mr H. P. Green, 6 tons, Wroxham; the Amateur, Mr F. Brown, 8 tons, Norwich ; the Waveney, Mr W. M. Bond, 6 tons, Yarmouth ; the Wanderer, Mr R. J. IL Harvey, Commodore for the year, 14 tons, Norwich ; the Bittern, Mr J. B. Morgan, 7 tons, Norwich; the Glance, 9 tons, Mr W. Steward, Norwich ; and the Augusta, 7 tons, Mr B. Russell, Norwich. The Wanderer, it will be seen, has changed hands, having been purchased by the Commodore from Mr J. L. Barber, who was so successful with her last season, winning eleven prizes in succession. The Vindex, Mr Tomlinson, is a new yacht, built by Messrs Harvey, at Ipswich, and the Glance, Mr W. Steward, and the Alabama, Mr E. S. Traff'ord, are also new. The Blanche, 7 tons, Captain R. Morris, Norwich, has been lengthened and improved, and the Red Rover, Mr S. Nightingale, has been thoroughly overhauled, as, indeed, has been the case with nearly every one of the thirty- one of the yachts now sailing under the club flag. On Wednesday evening the annual dinner of the members of the club took place at the Crown and Anchor Hotel, at Yarmouth. About 40 gentlemen sat down to an elegant and well- served en- tertainment. In the absence of the Commodore, Mr R. J. H. Harvey, the chair was occupied by the Vice- Commodore, Mr H. P. Green, and the vice- chair by the Rear- Commodore, Mr P. E. Hansell. Among those present were Messrs C. J. Palmer, J. B. Morgan, E. Btracev, Nightingale, M. Lacon, Steward, Everett, T. Read, F. Brown, Clabburn, Traff'ord, Scott, Dodds, Tomlinson, W. D. Palmer, & c. In proposing the toast of the evening, " Success to the Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club," the Vice- Commodore congratu- lated the members upon the flourishing state of its affairs, and the continued accession both of new members and new yachts. The prospects of the ensuing season he considered highly hopeful, as the gentlemen of both Norfolk and Suffolk were displaying an increased taste for aquatic amusements; this was to be expected, as few counties were more favoured with fine navigable streams. The toast was received with much applause, as was " The Health of the Club Officers," and various other complimentary senti- ments. A very agreeable evening was passed, and altogether it may be said that the club has commenced the season for 1863 under very auspicious circumstances. It was to be regretted that the Commodore was unable to attend. TEMPLE YACHT CLUB. The first match of the season of this club took place on Monday, May 11. The four following yachts started ( the three others that were entered not making an appearance), viz : Julia, Silver Star, Mermaid, and Resolution. The start took place from off the club house, Charlton, at 10 minutes to twelve o'clock, the Silver Star taking the lead and maintaining it to the rounding buoy at Greenhithe, followed closely by the Julia, Mermaid, and Resolution. Soon after starting the Resolution fouled a collier, which enabled the others to obtain a lead, and in running down Long Reach the Julia carried away her masthead, which put her entirely out of the match. The rounding at Greenhithe was as follows:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. SILVER STAR .. 1 40 6 \ MERMAID 1 44 30 | RESOLUTION .. 200 On the journey home the Mermaid caught and passed Silver Star in Gallion's Reach, the yachts arriving at Charlton as fol- lows :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. MERMAID 4 6 30 | SILVER STAR.. 4 10 O | RESOLUTION .. 4 10 30 The prizes were three very handsome silver cups, which were presented to the winner at the club house, Charlton, after a good dinner, to which about 30 members and friends sat down. The yachts Novice, London, and Eugenie accompanied the race. Thursday and Friday, June 25 and 26, and the club will be represented for the Grand Challenge, Stewards, and Wyfold Challenge Cups. SONS OF THE THAMES REGATTA. This regatta will take place at Putney on Wednesday, June 3. Prizes for senior and junior fours, pairs, and sculls, same as on the two previous years. Entries close at the Star and Garter, Putney, on Wednesday, May 27, at eight o'clock p. m. The Rifleman, Venus, and Citizen P are engaged to accompany the races; tickets obtainable of the managers of the regatta. In all races those row- ing in old- fashioned boats will be allowed 60 feet start of those who pull in out- rigged boats. WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB. The four- oared race of this club, announced for Tuesday last, was postponed in consequence of the severity of the gale until Saturday, May 23, when a steamboat will leave London Bridge at 2: 30 to accompany this match; and also the various heats for the Belfour Pairs, in which the West London are engaged, one of the two pairs being the favourite. NORTH LONDON ROWING CLUB. The members of this club rowed a four- oared race on Saturday, May 16, no less than five crews contending in three heats, all from Barnes to Hammersmith. The rowing in all the crews exhibited marked improvement upon the previous year, and the heats were undoubtedly more keenly contested than has ever been the case in this club before. FIRST HEAT.

Smith ( cox) _ . from skiffs under the railway arch, and Woodrow's crew got the best of the lead by half a length. The others, however, very soon pulled up, and they all stretched across the river in a straight line opposite the Bull's Head. Soon after this a capital spurt put on by7 Stinton took his boat in front, and, improving his position, he led by a length at the bathing- place. Here Woodrow, who had been gradually drawing away from Smith's crew, headed them by half a length; and the boats re- mained in these positions for two hundred yards further, when Smith's party drew up level with Woodrow's, and a capital race ensued to near Chiswick Church, where Smith's crew went well into second place. By this time Stinton was leading by two or three lengths, and increasing his advantage; but as his coxswain seemed to think the perfection of steering was going as much out of his course as possible, the gaps were not widened as they rawed along the Eyot, and when they got into the straight run for the bridge, a capital spurt put on by Mr Smith brought his crew within a length of Stinton's; an excellent race ensued for some dis- tance, but at length Stinton's crew again got awayT, and won by a length and a half beside their own, Smith's crew heading Wood- row's by three or four lengths. SECOND HEAT. Mr Sherlock's Crew ( Surrey) 1 Mr Paul's Crew ( Middlesex) 0 MR SHERLOCK'S CREW. 1. W. Newell 2. H. C. Hill 3. B. It. Stafford 4. P. A. Sherlock G. Rae ( cox) MR PAUL'S CREW. 1. H. Smart 2. E. W. Scott 3. J. K.. Smith 4. T. G. Paul T. Richards ( cox) Sherlock's crew madea very bad start, owingto catching the swell of the steamer, which gave Paul's party a lead of nearly half a length. This advantage they were not slow to avail themselves of, and at the Bull's Head led by their own length. The steerage in Sherlock's boat was as bad as could possibly be conceived, and it aided materially in widening the gap. Soon afterwards Sherlock, putting on a very fine spurt, came up a little, and it bid fair to be a capital race, when Paul broke his outrigger completely in half, and his boat necessarily had to stop. When, however, Sherlock had got about six lengths in front, the three remaining oars in Mr Paul's boat commenced rowing in pursuit, and pulled so pluckily that they came in not above four lengths behind their opponents. FINAL HEAT. Mr Stinton's Crew ( Middlesex) 1 Mr Sherlock's Crew ( Surrey) 0 No. 3 in Stinton's crew caught a crab at starting, which gave Sherlock a trifling lead ; but Mr Stinton's party soon closed up the gap, and a severe race ensued between them, which lasted to beyond the Bull's Head, where Stinton had obtained a lead of half his length. Here Sherlock put on a fine spurt, and drew up level. Stinton drew away again, but a magnificent race continued between them, Sherlock ever and anon spurting up, till they were beyond the bathing- place. Here the last- named crew began to acquire a lead, and, gradually increasing it, drew themselves nearly clear opposite Chiswick Church, and there was a gap of a quarter of a length between the two boats soon afterwards, the race continuing as severe as ever, and the steerage in Sherlock's boat being so bad that a f'-> ul seemed inevitable every moment. At the top of the Eyott Mr Stinton put on a fine spurt, and came up on his opponent's quarter; both cox- swains were boring towards each other at the time, and immedi- ately afterwards there was a slight foul. Stinton stopped for a few strokes, and Sherlock got two lengths ahead. At the bottom of the Island, however, the steerage in Sherlock's boat was enough to prevent any crew winning ; Stinton, aided by this, came ra- pidly up, and opposite Pinchin and Johnson's was right on his opponent's water. The race, as may be supposed, was most severe, Sherlock putting out all his powers to prevent Stinton going by. This, however, he was unable to do, and, after one of the finest four- oared races ever seen, Stinton won by a quarter of his length only. The whole of the heats were accompanied by the Venus, which was filled with the friends of the competitors. The band of the 20th Middlesex were in attendance by the kind permission of Mr Bowyer, the president, and a most agreeable afternoon was spent. CAXTON ROWING CLUB. The first race of the season of this club will take place on Satur- day, May 30, from Putney to Chiswick. The first prize has been presented by Messrs Clowes, jun; the second boat will receive gold rings, and the rest money prizes, being found by the club. Stations count from the Surrey shore.

Smith, the hon sec of the Thames Subscription Club, a meeting of the tradesmen of the metropolis, although not nearly so numerous a one as had been looked forward to, took place on Thursday evening, May 21, at Mr A. Wentzell's, the Ship Tavern, Fore- street, Lambeth, to consider who should be entitled to row for the four- oared race in old- fashioned boats at the regatta, the race for the Thames Resi- dent Crews ( residing within half a mile of the river) having been abolished. Representatives from tradesmen living in various parts of London were present, and, on the motion of Mr Wentzell, Mr C. Newnham was unanimously voted to the chair. A long discussion then arose as to whether the meeting should go into the question before them, or adjourn, in order to get a larger body of those interested together ; but it was gene- rally considered that those who were away then took no interest in the matter, although al ways ready to declare that their opinion was never consulted, and that, as it was improbable a larger meeting would be drawn together, the meeting considered themselves competent to go into the question at once. This was accordingly carried, and, after Mr Smith had explained the object for which he had called the meeting, a lengthy discussion took place, which resulted in its being carried, on the m ® tion of Mr Benny, se- conded by Mr Carter, " that the four- oared race in old- fashioned boats, outrigged fore and aft, be rowed by tradesmen only, resi- dent within the metropolitan postal district, the qualifications being the same as heretofore," viz, that every man getting his living on the water is barred, and that the race is open to trades- men, without any restriction as to their belonging to rowing clubs. This matter disposed of, Mr Smith submitted the rules drawn up by the Thames Subscription Club, for the regulation of all future matches for the Championship, and solicited suggestions from the metropolitan tradesmen by letter, as to whether any alteration should be made. The rules are as under :— RULES ESTABLISHED BY THE THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB. At the request and with the consent of the watermen and others interested, the committee of] the Thames Subscription Club beg to make the following announcement:— That an annual sum of £ 25, payable by quarterly instalments on the 1st January, 1st April, 1st July, and 1st October, shall be made to the person who at the time of such quarter days shall be the Champion of the Thames, and who shall have complied with the following rules, & c. The first payment to be made upon the 1st July next. 1. That the course of the race for the Championship of the Thames shall be from the aqueduct at Putney to the Ship Tavern at Mortlake, with the tide. 2. That the stakes on both sides shall be equal. 3. That the Champion shall not be compelled to row for a smaller sum than £ 100 a side. 4. That the person who for the time being shall be Champion of the Thames shall not be compelled to row another race for the Championship at a shorter date than three months from the time of his being challenged, and a deposit of a sum of not less than £ 10 a side shall have been made. 5. That the Champion shall not be compelled to accept any challenge pending any race for the Championship that he shall be then engaged in. 6. That if the Champion refuse to accept any challenge made in accordance with the above mentioned rules, he shall forfeit all title to the Championship of the Thames. 7. That articles of agreement shall be signed byT the Champion and the challenger at the time the first deposit is made, and that a copy of such articles shall, within one week after such signa tures shall have been attached, be deposited with the secretary of the Thames Subscription Club. 8. That the laws of boat racing, compiled by the Thames Sub- scription Club, and in use at the Thames National Regatta, shall be strictly enforced. Some pointed and very strong remarks followed as to the bad precedent which had been established of giving expenses to the Champion, because he was non- resident; and also as to the large amount which was now rowed for.— Mr Smith agreed that £ 200 a side was too large a stake, and after drawing the attention of the meeting to Rule 2, said that no race would be recognised by the Thames Subscription Club where expenses were allowed in the articles.— The proceedings closed with a cordial vote of thanks to Mr Smith on the motion of Mr R. Bain, for his kind- ness on this and other occasions, the meeting expressing a hope that the Thames Subscription Club might prosper in all their en- deavours to promote the manly sport of rowing, and improve the character of the metropolitan river. LONDON ROWING CLUB. The Vice- president's Pair- oared Race ( Belfour Pairs) will be rowed on Saturday, May 23, the following being the arrangement of the heats :— FIRST TRIAL HEAT ( 4: 20.) SURREY STATION— Messrs ( Instance and Hale, L. R. C. CENTRE STATION— Messrs Woodrow and Smith, N. L. R. C. MIDDLESEX STATION— Messrs L. P. Brickwood and E. D. Brickwood, Hammersmith. SECOND TRIAL HEAT ( 4: 40.) SURREY STATION— Messrs Bryant and Tyler, W. L R. C. MIDDLESEX STATION— Messrs Pitt and judson, W. L. R. C. The course is from Putney Aqueduct, through the centre arch of Hammersmith Bridge. The final heat will be rowed at 5: 50, be- tween the winners of the tridl heats. At five o'clock there will be a club eight- oared race, from Putney Aqueduct to lower end of Chiswick Eyot, through the centre arch of Hammersmith Bridge. The steamboat Rifleman will accompany the races, and leave All- hallows Pier, London Bridge, at 3: 15. Henley Regatta is fixed for HOARE AND TAGG. The scullers match between Thomas Hoare of Hammersmith and John Tagg of Moulsey, for £ 50 a side, came off on Monday, May 18, from Putney to Mortlake, and attracted a large number of spectators, who assembled on board Citizen M, which liad been chartered for the occasion. This had been looked upon as the race of the year, as both were fine young fellows, and although they had not gained unto themselves a name by any long list of per- formances, their ages respectively only being, Hoare 20. and Tagg 21, and both still apprentices— still the fine pace and dashing style exhibited by them in the few races they had rowed had stamped them as men who were likely to make a noise in the aquatic world. The match, as we have said, created great interest there fore, and was no sooner made than the backers of the men lost no opportunity' in placing them under the care of masters of the art. At first they took their breathings at home, but some time since Hoare was placed under the care of George Drewitt, at Mr Wil- cox's, the White Hart, Barnes, while John Mackinney was em- ployed to take charge of the up- countryman, and his training quarters were Harry Kelley's, the Bells, Putney. Under such supervision both men rapidly improved, and as the accounts of their trials reached the public it became a difficult matter to decide whom to invest money upon ; Hoare's good and fast rowing in his trials, however, at length made him the favourite, and he was firmly established as such at 5 and to 4 on the morning of the race. These odds increased as the time for the race approached, and at length 2 to 1 went begging. The men made their appearance in the vicinity of the bridge at a few- minutes past two, Hoare first coming out in a boat built by Jewett, and Tagg appearing in one of Messenger's new craft constructed on the tubular prim iple. As the men appeared side by side, both in their buff, the disparity between them was very great, Hoare's height and weight being only 5ft 7in and 9st 81b, as compared with 6ft and list, the dimensions of his opponent, Mr Wilcox was umpire for Hoare, J. Mackinney for Tagg, and Mr C. Newnham was appointed referee, while J. Phelps waited upon Tagg, and Chuckum on Hoare. Tagg having won the toss, took the inside berth, the water being as smooth as glass, and the tide above the average. The start took place at a quarter past twe, and was very- uneven, Tagg, notwithstanding the fact of Hoare being a little wonder at going off, getting a quarter, if not a third, of his boat in advance. At 8immoris's he was half a length in front, and at the London Boat House was about drawing himself clear. They continued in these positions as they rowed along the Bishop's grounds, the pace being very great; then Hoare gradually began to overlap him. The process of overlapping was ex- tremely slow, however, and was scarcely perceptible until they had passed the end of the Bishop's grounds. At this time Hoare's stem was level with Tagg's outrigger, and a finer race can scarcely be conceived. Each had been doing his very utmost until, seemingly exhausted for the time, they mutually took a rest, waiting for their second wind. This trifling cessation of hos- tilities was followed by Hoare quickening his action perceptibly, the process of overlapping became more perceptible, and in a dozen strokes Hoare had cleared himself. This brought the men a little above the Point, and here the difference in the styles which the severity of the race had prevented us noticing much before was plainly marked. Tagg evidently lost the flrst and best part of the stroke, the first action of the sculls was ineffective, but with this exception he rowed a very long, even, and capital stroke, Hoare, however, possessed what his opponent lacked, while his rowing was more lively, more buoyant, and much quicker, and the rapidity and liveliness of his stroke and his clean dash through the water induced an old admirer of aquatics to remark that there was a remarkable resemblance between him and old Bob Coombes. Just before opening into the straight run beyond the Point Hoare had been taken a very bad course, and, continuing this, he got much too near the Surrey shore; while Tagg, who was keep- under the osier beds ( there being a little wind out here), still held his antagonist till Craven Cottage. At the Dung Wharf, however, Hoare took his opponent's water, and making rapid headway, was leading by two clear lengths past the Crab Tree, which he reached in 6min 9sec. Be- tween here and Hammersmith Tagg put on some fine spurts, which, however, only told for an instant. Hoare evidently had the race in his hands, and before this his friends offered to back him at 6 to 1. He passed the Soap Works leading by two lengths and a half, and under Hammersmith Bridge, reached in 9min 12sec, there was a gap of three lengths between them. The work above the bridge was no less vigorous than it had been before. Tagg continued to spurt most gallantly, but this did not alter the positions of the men materially. Hoare passed the bot- tom of Chiswick Eyot in 12min 40sec, and the top in 13min oOsec, having gained half a length or so. Through Corney Reach he was all over the river, and had Tagg been anywhere equal to him in speed, the excellent course he took might have altered the result. As it was, however, Hoare was too good for anything to make him lose, and he was leading by nearly six lengths under Barnes Bridge, reached in 20min 15sec. Opposite Wilcox's Hoare put on a fine spurt, but after this eased all the way, and arrived at the Ship at Mortlake a winner by five lengths, doing the dis- tance in 23min 40sec. On the return home a match was made between the winner and Horace Cole, which will be found in another part of our paper. Hoare can have the money on Thurs- day, May 28, at twelve. tisement was sent to our office by the hon sec of the club himself, with a P. O. O. for its payment, we inserted it as a matter of course. Mr Drinan having, however, so decidedly denied its truth, we cannot but regret that the notice was published in our columns. The secretary of the Cork Rowing Club has sent us the following disavowal :— " 53, North Main- street, Cork, 20th May, 1863. " MESSRS CLEMENT BROTHERS— Gentlemen : I am in receipt of your favour of the 18th inst, at the contents of which I am much astonished.

NEW BRIGHTON, NEAR LIVERPOOL, MAY 11.— The distress flag was hoisted at the Rock Lighthouse at abeut half- past seven this evening ( writes H. W. Eddis, Esq, the hon sec of the branch). The crew of the tubular lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institu- tion stationed at this place were at once mustered, and the boat was under weigh in about twenty minutes afterwards. She was taken in tow by the steam- tug Universe, and after proceeding down the Rock Channel three or four miles, cast off from the steamer about a mile and a quarter to windward of the wreck, which was on the inside of the North Bank. When the lifeboat left the steamer she pulled down through a heavy sea to the wreck, under oars, and proved herself seaworthy in the broker water on the banks. The lifeboat anchored to windward of th vessel, and dropped down upon her. She proved to be the br., Levant, of Bristol, inward bound from Barbadoes, Capt Jonei, with a cargo of sugar, tortoisehell, rum, & c. The wind was"', by N., blowing hard, with a heavy sea on the bank, the ve I bumping heavily, and the tide half ebb. The lifeboat returnefirtb the shore about midnight, with the crew of the Levant, consisting of ten men, on board. The disaster was attributed to bad manage- ment. This valuable lifeboat has only been a few months on this dangerous station, at the mouth of the Mersey. There can be no doubt that in lier absence the crew of the Levant would in all probability have perished. THE LATE GALE.— HASTINGS, TUESDAY, MAY 19.— TheHastings lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, went off in a strong gale of wind from the east, and saved under perilous circumstances the crew of four men from the smack Britannia, of Ramsgate, which was totally wrecked on the East Groyne Rock, off Hastings, this morning. The lifeboat was reported to have behaved admirably on the occasion. LYME REGIS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 20.— The lifeboat of the Na- tional Lifeboat Institution was instrumental yesterday in a very heavy gale of wind in rescuing from destruction the schooner Vulcan, of this port. The crew of the vessel had come ashore early in the morning, when the weather was fine, and had secured their ship to her anchors, and t- a hawser fastened to a warping buoy; but during the gale the schooner was observed to part from her moorings, and to be rapidly driving on the rocks. The life- boat was instantly launched, with the ship's crew and some extra hands, who fortunately succeeded afterwards in bringing her safely to the harbour. In the absence of the help of the lifeboat the schooner must have gone to pieces. The shipowner readily paid the expense of launching the boat. Last winter the Vulcan was in distress on the Norfolk coast. The Caistor lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution went off to her assistance, but in the meantime a steam tug succeeded in reaching her, and afterwards in bringing her to Yarmouth. The Lyme Regis lifeboat had been on one or two previous occasions instrumental in saving ship- wrecked crews under the most perilous circumstances. BLAKENEY ( NORFOLK), MAY 20.— Yesterday the brig Faith, of Colchester, was observed to be stranded on Blakeney Bar, during a gale of wind, and in a very high sea. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution was instantly launched and taken in tow by a steamer to the scene of the wreck. Just as the lifeboat was within reach of the vessel, and on the point of being hooked to her, the whole of the lee- side oars of the boat were broken, render- ing her in the fearful surf unmanageable, and causing her to upset, but she instantly self- righted. Her crew having as usual their cork jackets on, were every one saved. The ship- wrecked crew, who were ready to jump into the lifeboat, were at once compelled to take to the rigging. At low water they were taken off by a yawl. By a merciful Providence not a single life was lost on this awful occasion. During the past year the lifeboats of the institution were manned by about 6,000 people, and with the exception of one man, not a single life was lost amongst that large number. The cost of the Blakeney lifeboat was presented to the institution by Miss Brightwell of Norwich. THE LATE MR WESTERN WOOD, M. P.— One of the last notices of motion given by this lamented gentlemen, at a court of the Fishmongers' Company, was that it should give the cost of a life- boat to the National Lifeboat Institution. The subject is to be considered at the next meeting of the company, when, no doubt, the motion will be unanimously agreed to by the court. Captain the Prince of Leiningen, R. N., of Her Majesty's yacht Victoria and Albert, has forwarded a donation of £ 5 to the Na- tional Lifeboat Institution, and has kindly promised to subscribe £ 1 annually to the society. Sir Roundell Palmer, M P., Her Majesty's Solicitor- General, has also forwarded an annual subscription of £ 2 to the Lifeboat Institution. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— The matches for the year at Bordeaux were proceeded with on Sunday, the competitors being classed according to their size in four categories. There was a light north- west breeze, but it was sufficient, nevertheless, to enable the match to be effectively carried out. The course for the flrst and second classes was from moorings laid down to Bey7chevelle, about 32 miles, or 64 miles out and back ; and the third and fourth classes sailed to Fort Medoc, about 29 miles, or 58 miles out and back. The prizes were awarded as follows:— First class: First prize to the Eclipse, M Duthil, which traversed the total distance of 64 miles in 6h 9min lOsec; second prize to the Mentor, M Ray- mond, 6h 9min 21sec. It will be seen that this was an animated, close, and well- sustained match.— Second class: First prize to the Corsaire, M Charron, 6h llniin 35sec; second prize to the Zampa, M Demay, 6h lomin 20sec.— Tliird class : First prize to the Mys- tfere, M Damon, 6h 26minl5sec; second prize to the Lucie, M , 6h 27min 5sec.— Fourth class: First prize to the Etincelle de Saintes, M Philippon, 6h 25min; second prize to the Capiice, M Mirande, 6h 42min30sec; third prize to the Partner, M Signac, 7h 2min 53sec; fourth prize to the Marignan, M Oliveau, 7h 7rnin SOsec.— On Sunday, May 81, some matches for yachts of the first class will take place at sea in the embou- chure of the Gironde. The first prize offered on this occasion is of the value of £ 40.— A match came off at Argenteuil on Sunday, under the auspices of the Societe des Regates Parisiennes, for small river yachts from 16 feet to 20 feet in length, when eleven competitors enetered. The course was three times round the basin, the start took place at 1: 15: 0, and the first seven were timed as follows:— Heron, M Eegnault, 3: 32: 39; Pirate, M Petit, 3: 37: 0; Ondine, M Charles, 3: 38: 30; Rafale, M Aboul, 3: 40: 0; Rose de Vent, M Benoist- Champy, 3: 4- 5: 0 ; Hirondelle, M Carlier, 3: 47: 0; Alcyon, M Pinel, 3: 56: 0. The Leman of Rouen did not appear, thus disappointing expectations. The Orion, the Capricieuse. and the Imperieuse did not complete the match.— To- day ( May 24) another match for small yachts takes place in the basin ; and a match for a larger class has been announced for May 31, for a prize offered by the journal La Vie a la Campagne.— Boulogrie- sur- Mer Regatta has been fixed for Aug 31, and that of Rochelle for Aug 1 and 2.

Radnor, the course being from the Rushes to Windsor Bridge. The following crews contended:— W. Bambridgeand Thompson 1, Hethrington and Groundwater 2, A. Neighbour and Mudge 3, T. Surnock and T. Short 4. A good start was effected, Neighbour being the first to show in front, but the two making a mistake, they were soon passed by Bambridge, followed by Neighbour ( second) . and Hethrington ( third). This order was maintained until reaching Hester's shed, when Hethrington, by a plucky spurt, passed Neighbour, and began to draw visibly on the leading boat. A fine race ensued, Bambridge and partner winning by the length of their boat. COLE AND HOARE.— A match has been made between Horace Cole of Chelsea and Thomas Hoare of Hammersmith to row from Putney to Mortlake, for £ 50 a side ( open for £ 100). £ 5 a side was put down to bind the match, on the steamboat, after Hoare and Tagg's race, and the men meet on Monday, May 25, between the hours of eight and ten, at Mr Bowler's, the Anti- gallican, Billingsgate, to draw up articles and make a further deposit.

DOVER AND CINQUE PORTS REGATTA.— This regatta will take place as usual, and the day fixed is Wednesday, Aug 19. Always very attractive, the meeting is this year expected to outshine its predecessors, owing to the exertions of the committee, and the powerful patronage of the veteran Premier, who is also Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, and a great supporter of all that may contribute to the welfare of the neighbourhood. TEWKESBURY REGATTA.— A regatta is to take place at Tewkes- bury on Tuesday, Aug 4.

Two SIDES OF COLLEGE.— This race was rowed on May 15. South Side having won the toss, went off at a good pace. North Side were hindered by the weeds near Rushes, but having the inside turn, at Upper Hope they came up with South Side, and tried to pass them, but failed. North Side were indifferently steered round Lower Hope, which enabled 8outh side to get away. North put on a spurt and overlapped them, but could not pass them. South Side afterwards gained a little, and finally won by a length. The result was rather unexpected, as North Side, before the race, were the favourites. The race was rowed in a drenching rain, and both crews were thoroughly wet by the finish. Mr Pochin rowed well for South Side, arid was well backed up by his crew. North Bide lost the services of Mr Phipps. Time, lOmin 5sec. SOUTH SIDE. 1. Lord Eldon 2. R. L Tooth 3. F. Chapman 4. R. Walpole 5. W. W. Wood 6. N. Sherbrooke 7. A. Rickards 8. A. Pochin Hon P.

The annual match between the University of Oxford and the Marvlebone Club and Ground was played at the Magdalen Ground, Oxford, on Thursday and Friday, May 14 and 15. The Marylebone Club, mindful of previous ignominious defeats at the hands of the Oxonians, took down three professionals in the per- sons of Grundy, Wootton, and Biddulpli, besides whom Mr Plow- den, of the Cambridge Eleven, was sent to get a line as to the strength of the Oxford batting. The side on the whole was stronger than usual, and certainly more formidable than the one sent by the M. C. C. to encounter the University of Cambridge. M. C. C., who were the first to defend the wickets, deputed Mr C. Marsham and Biddulph to oppose the bowling of Messrs Walker and Daubeny, who were pretty success! ul until Messrs Benthall and Strutt got in together, when a judicious change in the bowl- ing was made, Messrs Teape and Inge being substituted. The innings calls for no particular comment, if we except the batting of the above- named gentlemen, which just saved the reputation of the club. Oxford made an excellent innings of 193, the batting all round being unusually good. Mr Wrignt, although only cre- dited with 18, played a remarkably tine innings, and his career was only stopped by a curious catch Mr Plowden made, and for which he was much praised by those on the ground. Mr Evans's 35 comprised a flue on drive xrom Woottoii for five, and a square leg- hit oil'Grundy for a similar number, together with several fours, threes, & c, all obtained in good cricketing style. Mr Gar- nier, who went in first, as usual, played the ball with billiard accuracy, while Mr Walker's batting was of that character so common with racket players. Marylebone, with the view of somewhat retrieving their character, in their second innings sent in the veteran Grundy, who was accompanied by Mr Randolph, and but for an unfortunate run out, he might have repeated one of those long innings which have rendered hnn famous at Oxford. Mr C. Marsham played a good, steady innings. Mr Plowden showed himself a good tatsman, and after his disposal the match seemed over, as none of his successors were able to make a stand against the bowling. The innings closed for 116 runs, leaving Oxford 12 runs to win— a number the first two bats ( Messrs E. Hume and S. Linton) speedily obtained. The fielding of the University was excellent, Mr Wright particularly distinguishing himself at point. Mr Teape, who last vear bowled for the Eton Eleven, was quite up to the an- ticipations cf the public, and will be found of great service in the place of Mr Reade, who has finished his University carter. Wootton's high bowling was at times much criticised, and many urged Peter to put Rule No. X. in foice. Score: MARYLEBONE. lst inn 2d inn C. Marsham, D Walker 3 st Mitchell, b Walker ....- 2 S.

QUIDNUNCS v CRANBROOK PARK- MB EDXTOB: Cranbrook Park debut of the Quids, May 18, A. D- 1863. " I remember, 1 remember, how Grant's swift ones flitted by— Sometimes into the wicket, sometimes into the eye." The Gorilla at his old games again— Fred Norman insisting on placing his bat before his wicket, and so they clinched it up. The gallant Colonel, aided by his " spicey" aid- de- camp, plied his artillery with great success, by which the main body of the Quid- nuncs, as well as their corps de reserve, were not a little discom- forted. Considering the early period of the season, the " Cran brookian bucolics'' appear to have brought off their " ducklings" remarkably well, four of them having good broods; but the Hay- market Cotnmedian, having sat too long, addled his 28. These, it is needless to remark, the " Laird of Cranbrook'' did not mix in his excellent salad for lunch. The " Victor"- ious Tar having re- turned his enemies' shell, and his followers emulating his example, the Quids again took up arms. In this encounter the Dry and Wet Bob, having collared Buxton and Co, left branded on the score XXV, XXX, XXX, VII. So, " Strengthened by Hope, the Quids put trust in Grant," But Fate, now calling time, says ' Win you shan't!'" HALSRIM. QUIDNUNCS. lst inn 2dian A. L.

They met on Monday at the Oval, but owing to wet on Tuesday no further play took place, and the match was declared drawn. It would be useless attempting to form an opinion of the respective merits of the players engaged, but we may safely men- tion that Sussex has a most promising bowler in the person of Arnold. Blunden is a " sticking'' bat,; Chappell, a free hitter, and likely to be useful. Taylor, of the Surrey Colts, is a capital long- stop, and will make an excellent bat. Street ( the captain), we should imagine, will be engaged during the season for a county match. Little Gunn played and bowled well, and Smith, a fast ( low delivery) bowler, was somewhat difficult to play. Anscombe ( the captain) kept wicket exceedingly well for Sussex, as did Chantler for Surrey. Louch, for Sussex, is a good hitter, and was caught splendidly by the bowler— a very hard hit; he is a left- hand bat and a right- handed bowler. The umpires were Sewell, sen, and Tom Lockyer. The hon sec of the Sussex County Club ( Mr W. B. Stent) was present, and appeared to take great interest in the future prospects of his county, as did also Mr Burrup for Surrey. Score: SUSSEX. E.

Mr Ward's usual Eleven and his usual wind and rain. Grace's " cricket all round" rather too much for a young Eleven ; the cream of last year's team having left. Their fielding very good, bowling ditto; Harbord an undeniable change; E. Grace pretty much " as he was;" S. Taylor's bowling and ( Tell it not in the H. C. C.) fielding most effective; bats and fingers very cold, ball painfully warm. Score: MR WARD'S ELEVEN. lst inn 2d inn E. M. Grace, b Taylor 21 b Taylor 32 H. G.

HEENAN AND TOM KING.— The ceremony of staking another deposit of £ 50 a side for this match was performed on Thursday evening, May 21, at Joe Rowe's great rat menagerie, The Grapes, French- alley, Union- street, Bishopsgate. The muster was not so great as at the previous deposits, which is accounted for by the fact that many professionals were detained elsewhere, by arrange- ments connected with the Epsom meeting. Still Joe had a house full, and has no reason to complain that his name has been for- gotten among his ancient pals. Tom King was in attendance, but Heenan's professional engagements required his presence in another quarter. The next deposit of £ 50 a side is to be made at Bob Travers's, Sun and Thirteen Cantons, on Thursday, June 4. MILLING IN AMERICA. JOE COBUBN AND MICK M'COOLE, £ 200 A SIDE.— The Yankee sporting papers by the last mail bring details of a fight which took place on the 5th inst, in the neighbourhood of Cliarlestown, Cecil county, between Joe Coburn and Mick M'Coole, for £ 200 a side and the Championship of America, if such a title can be said to exist. The battle would be uninteresting to English readers were it not for the fact that Coburn was for a long time whispered to be the great Unknown who was to have fought Jem Mace. It seems both heroes are Irish by birth. M'Coole is 6ft lin, weighs 13st 21b, and is 26 years of age; while Coburn is 5ft 9in, weighed list, and in age is 28. M'Coole has beaten Dublin Tricks and Tom Jennings, and Coburn has defeated Pat Plynn and Harry Gribbon, and fought a draw with Ned Price, so that, as far as experience goes, there was not much to choose be- tween them. The odds, however, were £ 100 to £ 80 on Coburn, who from the beginning took a decided lead, his skill being far greater than that of his opponent, and enabling him gradually to reduce the superior weight and strength to his own level, and then by degrees to increase his superiority, until in the 67th round, at the expiration of 70 minutes, the friends of M'Coole threw up the sponge in token of defeat. Cobtnn was seconded by Cusick and Winkle, and M'Coole by Australian Kelly and Johnny Roche. FIGHTS FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. WOBMALD AND WOLF.— These men, we understand, fight for £ 25 a side, on Tuesday, May 26, on the Home Circuit; but up to the time of going to press we had no information, except that Wormald is to be at Hicks's, King's Arms, Whitechapel, and that lie is in good trim, having been trained by George Sims. Wolf, we presume, too, is well. He will, we suppose, hold his levees at Mr Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, where all particulars can be learned. TUBNEB OF NORWICH AND CHARLEY BALL OF HULL, FOR £ 25 A SIDE.— The final deposit in this match was staked at Ted Brown's, the Leeds Arms, Hull, on Tuesday, May 19. They go to scale the day before fighting, at Billy Corp's, the^ Sheffield Arms, Hull, neither man to exceed 8st 81b. Both lads are in rare fettle. Ball will be at Ted Brown's, the Leeds Arms, Hull, on Monday, May 25, and Turner at Billy Corp's, the Sheffield Arms, Hull, where in ail probability they will each have their share of friends, anxious to know the whereabouts of the mill, which may be known on application at either of the above hostelries on Monday evening, May 25. LOMAS AND SWEENY.— Dan Lomas and Pat Sweeny of Man- chester fought, for £ 25 aside, on Friday, May 15, within 25 miles of home. The mill was tedious, and not particularly interesting, and was won by Sweeny in 53 rounds and 69 minutes, Lomas in the last round having deliberately thrown himself upon his an- tagonist. MORBIS AND DUBKIN.— WO have received the stakes for a match between two men named Peter Morris and Michael Durkin of Wigan, who are to fight on Tuesday, May 26, for £ 5 a side, in the neighbourhood of Wigan. We have also'some letters relative to a fight said to have taken place on Tuesday last, between the same men, in which a dispute arose. These letters are wholly unintelligible. Perhaps the friends of the parties will enlighten us. PETER MOBBIS AND MOBBIS ROBEBTS.— These men have staked their second deposit of £ 5 a side. They must send a third deposit of £ 5 a side on Wednesdaj', June 3. Roberts informs Morris that as the odds are now in Peter's favour, it would be folly on his ( Roberts's) part to increase the stakes to £ 200 a side, as he can invest the £ 100 to better advantage by taking the odds. MILNES AND SMITH.— We have received £ 5 from Smith and £ 4 for Milnes this week for this match. Mr Woodhouse, who sends the £ 4, says he sends £ 5, but the Post Office order is only for £ 4. We know not where the blame rests. The fight conies off on Tuesday, June 2, previous to which time we trust the mistake will be rectified. Swaddy Reece of Bristol and T. Bate of Birmingham, H. Tay- lor and J. Fox, Stringer and Partridge of Birmingham, Young Mills of Northampton and Crogan of Birmingham, and Caggy Wilson and Pevin, must make further deposits during the week to the stakeholders for their matches. F. FISHER AND DAN CRUTCHLEY.— These Birmingham men have signed articles to fight at 9st 41b, for £ 15 a side. To come off on the 30th June, over ten and under thirty miles from home. The men make a further deposit on Monday, May 25, at Miller's, George and Dragon, Steelhouse- lane. Goss AND MACE.— These men have to stake £ 50, that is £ 30 must be posted by Mace and £ 20 by Goss, on Thursday, May 28, at Jem Mace's, Old King John, Holy well- lane, Shoreditch. Mace's money has already reached our hands. HARTLEY AND NAPPER.— These lads, the latter being George Crockett's novice, have again staked £ 2 each, and are to post £ 2 a side on Wednesday, May 27, at Mr Richardson's, Britannia, City- road. BROWN AND KELLY.— We have once again to acknowledge £ 5 a side for this match, and to request that the men will remit £ 5 each on Thursday, May 28. LEAD AND HOLDEN.— These lads need not post any more money till June 10, when they must be ready with£ 5 each, at Jem Mace's, Old King John, Holywell- lane. STEWABT AND TYLEB.— These men have again staked £ 2 a side. The final deposit is to be made at Mike Lee's, Bunhill- row, on Wednesday, May 27, when the toss for the scaling is to take place. DOVE AND GALLAGHER.— We have again received £ 2 a side for this affair. The next deposit of £ 2 each is to be made at Mr Ward's, Ironfounders' Arms, Greenwich, on Wednesday, May 27. MOBBIS AND TYSON.— Alec Keene has received a further de- posit of £ 2 a side for this match. The next deposit of £ 2 each is to be made on Tuesday, May 26. POTTS AND HANNIGAN.— These men must send us £ 5 a side on Wednesday, May 27. HOLDEN AND WHITE.— These lads have again sent £ 4 aside, and are to forward the last deposit of £ 4 a side on the 28th inst. Total 93 [ CONTINUED IN THE NEXT PAGE.] right again. Nat's tip for Derby and Oaks came off correct; he will back himself for any amount against all other prophets. Country cousins will do well to look in and obtain Nat's advice on all future events. ' Tis here the latest and most authentic infor- mation is to be gained on the approaching grand fistic tourna- ment. Nat's booth at Epsom was crowded by the highest in the land, and on this spot thousands collected to view the beauties and the brave, black spirits as well as white, selected from the old athlete's world- renowned stud. Nat observes, with no little asto- nishment, Dillon' 3 denial of having collected £ 5 towards Shocker Shipp's funeral, as he distinctly asserted in his parlour that such was the case, otherwise the announcement would not have ap- peared in Nat's advertisement of the 19th.

THE TEN MILE CHAMPION CUP. MB EDITOB : You kindly inserted a challenge from me in your last, in which I formally ttirew down the gauntlet to Lang to run him according to the conditions by which he holds the Champion Cup of 10 miles. There also appeared a challenge from Deerfoot to Lang, for the same trophy, and that, too, after it has been re- peatedly stated the Indian could not stay a sufficient time to defend it. It would appear that this is the second time such a trick has been played to hinder me from meeting Lang. The Indian left England last week, and I do not think it right that liis name should be used for the purpose to keep back my chance, for some weeks at least. I will run Lang for the Cup, for the sum, and in the specified time, according to the conditions, and I cannot think but that men of character like Mr Baum and Mr Price will at once see, and comply with, the justice of my de- mands.— Yours, & c, JOHN WHITE of Gateshead. West London Cricket Ground, May 21. PEDESTBIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK. W. SPOONEB OF TUBNHAM GBEEN AND W. HATLEY OP THE CITY.— On Monday, May 18, these pedestrians met on J. Baum's Ground to walk four miles, for £ 25 a side, Hatley being allowed 100 yards. The meeting was well attended by the partisans of the men, and from their celebrity a well- contested match was fully expected. Had both men been equally fit for the struggle there can be no doubt that the most sanguine expectations of their ad- mirers would have been realised ; but unfortunately Hatley, who on the preceding Friday had been suddenly seized with a severe cold, was not in any condition to contest the match; indeed, so totally " wrong'' was he on Monday found to be, that it was against the wishes of his friends that he even started, as anything like the chance of winning against the champion under such adverse circumstances was not for a moment to be thought of ; for notwithstanding Spooner was many years older than his oppo- nent, yet he was in point of condition tit to walk foj a man's life, so that the difference between them was most striking. Hatley looked extremely bad, and it was only in compliance with his own desire that he was allowed to put in an appearance at all. Of the match it is only requisite to state that Spooner caught his man in walking the fifth lap, and in the following round, while going up the back of the course, came to the fore and went dashing away in a most triumphant style. The friends of Hatley, seeing what a pitiable condition the lad was in, insisted on his at once pulling up, and he had to be almost carried off the ground by W. Price, the M. C. Spooner now walked on by himself up to nearly the finish of the sixteenth lap, this being the commence- ment of the third mile, when Hatley's backers informed him that he might stop, as they were satisfied he had fairly won, and did not require him to walk out the remainder of the distance. The stakes can be received by the winner at our office on Thursday, May 28, at twelve o'clock. PEDESTRIANISM AT WANDSWORTH. WATTON AND ANSTEY.— On Monday, May 18, there was a strong muster of the metropolitans assembled on J. Garratt's en- closed ground to witness the race between these pedestrians, who had to contend for supremacy in a spin of 200 yards, for £ 25 a side, Watton receiving three yards. The betting was level, and there was a good deal of money invested on the result, the friends of both being confident. In adjusting the preparatory matters Mr John Garratt, the proprietor, was chosen referee, who, as the pe- destrians were to go by report of pistol, appointed H. A. Reed to give the required signal. All things being in readiness the com- petitors came to the scratch, when Watton was placed the given distance in advance, and, as the men stood at their respective po- sitions, it was apparent from their appearance they were all that could be desired in condition. On the pistol being fired the men went rattling off. Watton, from the advantage he had in position, making the running. The result of the struggle is soon told, for the lead was maintained by Watton throughout, and he went by the goal an easy winner. The friends of Anstey were by no means satisfied with the style in which the race had been contested on the part of their man; indeed, there was a strong opinion ex- pressed that he had not by any means done his best to win. HOFIELD AND LAUBENCE.— These men also walked a mile on the above ground, for a small stake, which terminated in Hofield being the winner, the distance being covered in 9min lOsec, which is by no means a bad performance for men who, as pedestrians, only rank among the outside division. HAWKINS AND OWENS.— On Tuesday, May 19, these men met here to run 200 yards, for £ 5 a side, there again being a good muster present. The gallant Patsy Reardon, of the P. R., was selected as referee, and all being ready the men came to the mark. On the start being effected Hawkins went away with the lead, which he maintained from end to end, and on the finish of a well- contested struggle went by the goal a fine winner.

JONES OF ISLING- TON.— On Monday, May 18, these pedestrians met on J. Roberts's enclosed ground, Brompton, to run 20 miles, for £ 20 a side, Jack- son receiving 770 yards start. When the usual preliminaries had been arranged, the competitors came to the mark, and having taken up their respective positions, the signal to start was given. The men, from the commencement, went away at a slashing pace, Jones displaying such superiority in speed that, when four miles of the distance had been covered, he had closed up the gap between himself and the " old- un." Jones, after taking the lead, ran in gallant style up to the completion of the 18th lap ( four miles and a half), when, having been suddenly seized with the " stitch" in his side, he was compelled to pull up and resign, much to the surprise and disappointment of his friends, who had made a certainty of winning when they found the Islingtonian had taken the lead.

The TUBBERNAGOTH STAKES of 2 sovs each, with 20 added; weight for age, with penalties and allowances; two miles. Mr M'Carthy's b mStella( lateEvergreen), 6yrs, llst41b.

MARKET HARB0R0UGH STEEPLE CHASE RULES, 1863, AND THE ABERGAVENNY MEETING. MB EDITOR: The unfortunate dispute respecting the Farmers' Stakes at this meeting is a matter which all lovers of steeple chasing must sincerely deplore, and as the question is to some extent still sub judice it would be impolitic to express any opinion as to its merits. I would, however, venture to suggest that the surest way of arriving at a satisfactory solution would be to lay the matter before Lord Coventry and Admiral Rous, and take their decision as final; it is not, however, improbable that they would decline the thankless office of arbitrators. Whatever, however, might be the result of the dispute in question, there cannot, I think, be any doubt that Rule XII, requires revision. At country steeple chase meetings it very frequently happens that the various offices of hon sec, clerk of the course, clerk of the scales, and occasionally handicapper and judge are filled by one individual; in fact, the work is generally far better done when there is an undivided responsibility; it therefore seems to be absurd that the possibility of dispute should be allowed to arise upon a mere question of name. " Fairplay and no favour" is the maxim which should regulate all steeple chase meetings. Moreover, how is it possible for an owner or trainer who is a stranger to enter at once into the ramifications of the management of a country meeting, and discover that Mr A. is steward, Mr B. clerk of the course, & c, & c ? It ought to be sufficient for him to make all declarations respecting weight to the person he finds in charge of the scales. I therefore beg leave to suggest that rule 12 shall be as follows:—" If any horse shall carry more than 41b above his weight, without a declaration having been made before starting by the owner of the horse, or by some one on his behalf, to the steward or stewards, or to the person appointed by him or them to weigh the jockeys," & c. Something of this sort would at all events prevent similar disputes. No code of rules can work quite evenly at first, and experience alone will point out the mistakes and deficiencies. The decision of the Aberga- venny stewards that the Steeple Chases should be run partly under Newmarket and partly under Market Harboro' rules, entirely surpasses my understanding. " These steeple chases will be run subject to the Market Harboro' rules, 1863," should be a clause inserted in all steeple chase conditions. There was another ques- tion respecting the construction of rule 12 mooted in your paper some three weeks ago, to which I have seen no reply. I will put it again in the hope of eliciting one. " In case a jockey weighs out more than 41b overweight, has he declared all the extra weight he carries over and above his proper or handicapped weight, or merely the excess over the 41b; e. g., a horse's weight is lOst, the jockey weighs out lOst 51b; ought his weight to be returned as lOst lib or lOst 51b ?" I hope to have an answer on this point.— Yours, & c, T. S. H. May 20, 1863.

There was a large attendance present, and betting commenced at 6 to 4 and finished at 2 to 1 on the bay. Mr Wheeler was the referee. At two o'clock the word was gt ven, when the bay got away with the lead and gradually increased the distance.

FRIDAY, MAY 15.— COLLEGE EIGHTS.— The third race came oft this evening, when the boats started in the following order: [ The brackets denote the bumps.] 1. Trinity 7. Christ Church 13. Oriel 2. Brasenose 8. Merton 14. St Edmund Hall 3. Balliol 9. Corpus 15. Jesus 4. Magdalen 10. Wadham 1 16, Lincoln 5. University 11. Pembroke J 17 Worcester 6. Exeter 12. Queen's 18 Magdalen Hall In explanation of the position of the boats this evening we must state that, after the race on Thursday evening, Corpus claimed to have bumped Wadham, and the decision of the O. U. B. C., which was not made known till to- day, was adverse to the latter [ infor- formation which was duly chronicled in cur Second Edition] Trinity, as on previous evenings, rowed in a good distance ahead of Brasenose, and, bar accident, will retain tteir present position Magdalen, closely pursued by University, nearly touched Balliol, the race creating the utmost excitement. Pembroke bumped Wadham at the Long Bridges, and although there was some good racing between St Edmund Hall and Oriel, snd Lincoln and Jesus, no other alteration was made in the flags, SATURDAY, MONDAY, AND TUESDAY, MAY 16, 18, AND 19, 1.

Wadham just managed to escape from Queen's after a hard struggle, and Jesus again disappointed Lincoln, Monday was another blank evening, although some of the boats were much too near to be pleasant. On Tuesday the weather was very rough, and, contrary to general expectation, two bumps were made, viz, Pembroke and Corpus at the Cherwell, and Lincoln and Jesus at Saunders's Bridge. St Edmund Hall overlapped Oriel, and a great diversity of opinion existed as to the bump, which, after a lengthened investigation by the committee of the 0. U. B. C., wasawardedto the Hall. University pressed Magdalen. WEDNESDAY.— University succeeded in bumping Magdalen, after a splendid race, at Saunders's Bridge, and Oriel made another downward movement, Lincoln running into them in the Gut. THUR8DAY.— The boats started in the following order for the final race this evening:— 1. Trinity 7. Christ Church ! 13. St Edmund Hall 2. Brasenose 8. Merton 1 14. Lincoln 3. Balliol 9. Pembroke J 15. Oriel 1 4. University 10. Corpus 16. Jesus J 5. Magdalen 11. Wadham 17. Worcester 0, Exeter 12. Queen's 18. Magdalen Hall Pembroke ran into Merton at Saunders's Bridge, and Oriel suc- cumbed to Jesus at Harvey's Barge. Ar. exciting race ensued between University and Balliol, and but for the indifferent steer- ing ef the former another change would have taken place, as they overlapped several times. Trinity now beccme the holders of the handsome Challenge Cup, presented to theO. U. B. C. by G. Mor- rison, Esq, of Balliol College, to be held by the head boat at the end of the season.

LATEST FROM AMERICA. RETREAT OF GENERAL HOOKER. ( Per steamer New York.) NEW YORK, MAY 8 ( AFTERNOON). General Lee having driven the Federals under General Sedg- wick from the heights of Fredericksburg across theKappahannock, did not renew the attack upon General Hooker. On Tuesday morning the latter prepared to retreat, and on the following morn- ing his army had returned to the camp near Falmouth, after being absent nine days. Gen Hooker is now occupied in strengthening his position. General Hooker's artillery commenced crossing the Bappahan- nock on Tuesday night, being very dark, and completed crossing by three o'clock on the following morning. The infantry then crossed, their rear being well covered. The crossing was entirely completed by daylight, the rear guard having some severe fighting in getting over. Various reasons are assigned for the Federal retreat. One is, that General Sedgwick's repulse uncovered the line of the Acquia Creek Bailroad, and endangered General Hooker's communica- tions and supplies. Another is, that General Hooker did not con- sider his position tenable after the rout of the eleventh corps of his army, which is described as disgraceful. The Federal dead in the Sunday's battle were left unburied, and the wounded without attention. President Lincoln and General Halleck visited General Hooker's army on Thursday morning. General Sedgwick's command lost 5,000 men. Btoneman's Federal cavalry approached within two miles of Richmond, causing considerable excitement in that city. General Stoneman is reported to have returned safely to the Rappahannock. General Lee's despatch to President Davis says that General Jackson penetrated to the enemy's rear, driving him from all po- sitions to within one mile of Chancellorsville. General Lee further states that many prisoners were captured, and says in conclusion, " The enemy's loss in killed and wounded was large. We have to thank God for a great victory. Paxton was killed, and General Jackson severely wounded.'' Washington despatches attribute General Hooker's retreat to prudential motives. NEW YORK, MAY 8 ( EVENING). The Confederates are still operating in Western Virginia, and threatening Charlestown. Active operations are taking place in New York for an early conscriptisn. It is reported that the Republican party will now urge the bestowal of an important command on Fremont. The Mozart Hall Democracy has passed resolutions demanding the discontinuance of the war, and denouncing Vallandigham's arrest. The resolutions also state that the conduct of foreign affairs by the Administration had placed the country in a position " where even England dares to bully her." While deprecating civil war, the Democracy demands that the Administration shall no longer submit to insult from England, and pledges every man and every dollar to resist that insult. NEW YORK, MAY 9 ( MORNING). The Secretary of War has issued an official statement an- nouncing that General Hooker's operations failed, but without serious disaster to the organisation and efficiency of the army. There was no loss in crossing the Rappahannock. One- third only of General Hooker's forces were engaged. General Halleck says, in conclusion, that General Hooker's army will speedily resume offensive operations. A portion of General Stoneman's cavalry arrived at Gloucester Point, opposite York River, and after burning the bridges over the Chickahominy, destroyed the ferries over the Pamunkey and Mallaponey, and scoured the country in all directions. It is rumoured that General Heintzelman will supersede Gene- ral Hooker. The Democratic journals urge General M'Clellan's appoint- ment to the command in- chief. Admiral Porter reports that he had taken possession of Grand Gulf, Mississippi, which the enemy had abandoned after bio wing up their ammunition and spiking their guns. The forts were torn to pieces by the fire from the Federal fleet. Gold opened at 60 on the news of Hooker's defeat, and closed at 55. THE INTERNATIONAL DOG SHOW. Yesterday the various specimens of the canine species intended for exhibition at the International Dog Show, which commences to- morrow, at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, were received into that establishment and each located in accordance with its regis, tered number in the catalogues. That the sporting nobility and gentry of the country have taken the deepest interest in this effort ^ o improve the breeds of various descriptions of hounds is manifest from the extraordinary number of specimens they have con- tributed, whilst the general public have proved themselves scarcely less so in their eagerness to enter animals in the non- sporting and toy classes. When it is stated that, in order to ac. commodate the 1,700 dogs entered for the show it has required over two miles and a half of platform to be erected in the avenues of the basement and in the galleries of the Agricultural Hall, some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the show. The Prince of Wales's harriers, and the various other specimens of that class, are accommodated with kennels surrounding the front of the grand orchestra, and, to use the phraseology of a sporting gentleman present yesterday, the prince's harriers are described as being " neat and clever." The deerhounds are very numerous, and are stated to be very fine, whilst it is declared by judges that the pointers are the best ever exhibited. Lord Stamford exhibits in these classes his celebrated deerhounds Bran, his mother, Brenda, and the bitch Vengeance, which have carried off the first prizes inj Jother shows; and in the pointer classes his pointer Ben, three years and two month8 old, for which his lordship is stated to have refused 500 guineas. The retrievers and other sporting dogs are exceedingly strong, and there is a fine show of bloodhounds. In the central avenue a large kennel has been erected for the Duke of Beaufort's pack of hounds, just returned from Paris. In the non- sporting division, occupying the galleries, there is a Pyrenean wolf dog of extraordinary dimensions and great beauty, and two black and tan terriers, the property of Mr De La Rue, each of which could comfortably go into a pint pot. Pets and toys are to be seen in mahogany framed and glazed houses, resting on velvet and satin cushions, whilst prohibitory prices are affixed, varying from £ 50 to £ 1,500. Mr Sidney, the secretary, has had same difficulty in consequence of the failure of a gentleman from the Birmingham Show, from indisposition, to discharge what he undertook, but it was happily surmounted. The prince and princess are expected to arrive at the Agricultural Hall to- morrow, about three p. m, 40. Lady Margaret 51 41. 3d Trinity 3 / 42. Peter House 21 43. Magdalene 2 / 48.

Thie well- known pack of foxhounds, bred exclusively from the kennels of the Duke of Rutland, Lord Yarborough, Lord H. Ben- tinck, and Mr Foljambe, were brought to the hammer at Hyde Park- corner, on Monday, where they attracted a deal of attention from masters of hounds and others. A good many couples were bought cn behalf of the committee, who are going on with that country. There were two packs, a large and small, some of the latter being especially clever.

C. against the Cambridge team on May 11 mentions that the M. C. C. came down with two or three men short, thereby taking away much interest in the game. It is absurd to suppose that the club cannot muster nine playing members, with two bowlers, to go and play such a popular match as against a University eleven, You may well remark any provincial club can do that; and we, the first cricket club, are to be thought mere lookers- on, supporters of cricket and not players. The fact is, there are many members most anxious to play, but are never asked, and don't know who to apply to to have their names put down. Some old member generally has the getting together an eleven for these and other matches; he asks his friends, gets some to come, some to promise ( who don't come); they arrive on the ground short, receive excuses of all kinds from the absent, put on Emergencies, and the game goes on. We then see your very just remarks, see the same names in all matches, and are considered mere provincials, just because the " getter up of the match'' will not put up a notice in the pavilion at Lord's that members are wanted to play on such a day at the place named.— Yours, & c, E. B. N. MYNN MEMORIAL. All has now been done. The memorial stone has been erected in Thurnham Churchyard, near Maidstone, and the inscription given below relates the whole history. Among the list of sub- scribers the name of Mr John Quinten Pinhorn, £ 1 Is, was acci- dentally omitted. " Beneath this stone are deposited the remains of Alfred Mynn, son of William and Anne Mynn, of Twisden Lodge, Goudhurst, in the county of Kent, where he was born on the 19th day of January, 1807. He died at 22, Merrick- square, London, on the lst day of November, 1861. His kindness of heart and generosity of dispo- sition during many years of public life, as the champion of Eng- lish cricketers, endeared him to a large circle of admiring friends. His widespread popularity is attested by the circumstance that four hundred persons have united to erect this tombstone, and to found in honour of a name so celebrated ' The Mynn Memorial Benevolent Institution for Kentish Cricketers.' A sum of £ 121 16s has accordingly been invested in India Five per Cent Stock for the benefit in perpetuity of the objects of the above- named charity. 1863.''

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS- So important a change has taken place in the situation of mone- tary affairs that the Bank of England directors have been com- pelled, within the space of a week, twice to raise their minimum rate of discount, viz, on Saturday from 3 to 3| per cent, and on Thursday from 3| to 4 per cent. These movements have chiefly resulted from an indisposition in the open market to transact business at the official charge of the establishment, where, conse- quently, nearly all the bills brought forward have been negotiated. Under these circumstances a large addition has been made to the other securities, and the bullion having been further diminished there was no alternative on the part of the executive but to resort to a restrictive policy. Commercial relations do not present any change of importance. There can be no doubt that trade is in a healthy state, and that the general transactions of the country are exceedingly large, although certain branches may be exceptionally depressed. The English Funds, notwithstanding the increase in the value of money, have slightly tended upwards, and Consols closed yesterday ( Friday) at 93j for money, and at 92^ less the divident, for the account. During the past week business in the Foreign 8toek Market continued active, but prices generally exhibited a slightly down- ward tendency, owing to a pressure of speculative sales. Greek Bonds have receded about f, Spanish Passive Bonds 5, and Mexican Stock 1 per cent,. Turkish Bonds have also been de- pressed. The Loan of I808 has receded about j. the Loan of 1862 J; the Consolides, however, have improved about J. The dealings in the Railway Share Market during the past week have only been to a moderate extent, but owing to the fa- vourable character of the traffic returns prices have generally shewn increased firmness. South Western, Great Western, Great Eastern, and South Eastern have improved j, Great Northern North Eastern ( Berwick), North Western, and Midland 1, and Lancashire and Yorkshire 2. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous shares have been dealt in to a fair extent, and prices have in most instances shown an up- ward tendency. SATURDAY EVENING. The Funds to- day have shown little variation. Consols for money closed at 93| f, while for the account they were 92 § j, ex dividend.'' In the Foreign Market prices remained steady. Greek Bonds were marked 3I § to 32, Spanish Passive Bonds 34| to 31 j, Old Turkish Six per Cents closed at 88| to 89j, the Loan of 1858 at 70 to 70|, and the Consolides receded to 51 § to 5If. Railway Shares were dull at previous rates, while Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were in some instances rather firmer. THE TREATMENT OF DISTEMPER IN DOGS. MR EDITOR : As I see by your paper of the 3d inst that dis- temper has been very prevalent during the past season, I send you a recipe for a remedy, which I have found infallible, in order that such of your numerous readers as are interested in the subject may adopt it if they think well. I have had to do with sporting dogs of some kind or other for quite 35 years of my life, and for about 12 of them with hounds, and I go so far as to say that, if young dogs are carefully watched and properly treated at the very first appearance of dullness, lassitude, or want of appetite, not one in 500 would ever have distemper. My medicine is com- posed of 6 grains of turbith mineral, J dram of asafcedita, 1 scruple of aloes, 10 grains of soap. The above, mixed with syrup, will make one fair- sized ball, and is a dose for a fair- sized or aged dog. At the very first appearance of illness give one ball, and continue this every third day, and by the time the dog has had three balls he will be all right. Keep him dry and give warm food whilst he is taking the medicine, and for two or three days after discontinuing it. For a small or young dog I cut each ball in half, and give one half ( containing three grains of turbith mineral) every other day, instead of a full dose of six grains every third day. I have never had but one fatal case of distemper, and that was a young hound out at walk, of whose symptoms I was not apprised in sufficient time, or, I have no doubt, I could have saved him. My experience fully warrants me in saying that this system, if adopted in time, will ward off distemper, or cure 95 cases out of 100, if the dog has really got it.— Yours, & c, Choseley, Norfolk, May 11. MERRICK BIRCHAM. [ The remarks of our correspondent do not applj to young greyhounds, the dose being decidedly too strong.] WILFUL DAMAGE. To- day, at Marlborough- street, John Woolcombe, gentleman, was charged with wilfully breaking a square of glass, value £ l 10s, the property of Caroline de Vigne, the keeper of a cafe, No. 1 Tichborne- street.— Wm. Miflove, in the service of the plaintiff said the defendant came into the cafe about ten o'clock a. m. on the previous night, made a disturbance, and broke a pane of glass worth 30s. He was not sober.— The defendant said he had been brutally treated at the cafe by four men, and being in a rage, he put his foot through the pane of glass. — Ordered to pay the damage and a fine of 5s. ROBBERY OF A VALUABLE SERVICE - OF PLATE AND WATCHES. To- day, at Southwark, Joseph Hutchell and Ellen Williams were charged with stealing a valuable service of presentation plate, a gold watch and chain, and a silver wateh with a gold chain, the property of Mr Richard Bolding. The prosecutor, a corn merchant, resided at 67, Tooley- street, and the female pri- soner had been in the service of himself and wife up to about a month ago, when she left owing to some misconduct. She, how- ever, continued to work for a lady who lived in another part of the house until the ,9th inst. On that morning Mr Bolding missed the valuable service of plate already specified from off his sideboard, and he also missed the two watches and- chains, and at the same time he discovered that the prisoner had suddenly left the house. She was found on the previous morning in a house in Bermond- sey- street, when she admitted the theft, and said that the male prisoner, who they found in bed, had taken some of the things to the Minories and pawned them, and the others they had sent to a pawnbroker's at Canterbury. Part of the property was found as described, at a pawnbroker's in the Minories. There had not yet been time to communicate with the police at Canterbury. As- tonishment was expressed at a pawnbroker receiving such valu- able articles, especially as the prosecutor's name was engraved on it. The pawnbroker said that the man told him his name was Bolding, and that the plate belonged to him.— Remanded. COURSING.

DEATH OF LIEUTENANT- GENERAL RICHARD JONES.— We have to record the death of Lieut- General Richard Jones, of the Royal Artillery, which occurred at Cheshunt on the 18th inst. The de- - ceased, who was in his 80th year, entered the Royal Regiment of Artillery as second lieutenant May 12, 1797, and became first lieu- tenant July 16,1799. He served in Holland in 1799, and was made • captain December 5, 1804, and brevet major June 4,1814. He was also present at the capture of Paris, and he remained with the army of occupation until December 2, 1818. He became lieut- colonel December .31, 1828; colonel, November 23, 1841; colonel- commandant, January 12,1854; major- general, June 20, 1854, and lieut- geiieral, November. 28, 1854. ASCOT RACES.— Race glasses in every variety of form and price, from SOa aach, at Caliaghan's, 23A, New Bond- street, W., corner of Conduit- street. N. B.— Sole agent for the celebrated race and field glasses made by Yoigtlander, Vienna. The new aluminium mounted glasses ( same as made for H. R. H. the Prince of Wales), though of tb^ largest sia^, weigh but a few ounces. CARD SHARPERS. To- day, at Southwark, Samuel 8tock was charged with defraud- ing John Horiock Gann out of £ 12, by card sharping in a railway carriage coming from Epsom races on Wednesday. The prose- cutor said he was a wine merchant's clerk in the City. On Wed" nesday hegot into the same carriage with the prisoner and several other men, who were playing and betting at cards. They asked him to bet, which he did till he lost £ 12, when feeling certain he had been cheated, he gave the prisoner into custody when he reached London.— Mr Combe said he had allowed the case to stand over in order that the complainant might bring before the court a person who could prove that the prisoner had acted in concert with another in shuffling the cards.— The prosecutor said he could not bring forward that person.— Mr Combe said he was quite satisfied that both prosecutor and prisoner were sharpers, and the prosecutor thought he was the sharper of the'two. He however, was mistaken, and because he lost his money gave the other into custody. It was, in fact, " the biter bit," and the pri- soner must be discharged. A MODERN HIGHWAYMAN. To- day, at Greenwich police court, Robert Jones ( aliae Joyce) was charged with committing the following robberies :— MrsEliza Thurloe, an elderly lady living at 13, Crooms- hill, Greenwich, said that between eleven and twelve o'clock on Monday morning she was gathering some wild flowers in a field near Eltham, when the prisoner came along and offered to reach her a piece of May flower. He did so, and then suddenly seized her by the back of the neck and threw her down, when he attempted a criminal assault upon her, holding one hand upon her mouth to prevent her from screaming and grasping her tight by the throat with the other hand. He then took from her pocket a purse containing some silver, broke her guard from her neck, and took a pair of silver eye- glasses, and then ran away.— Mrs Bartlett, a widow lady residing at Eltham, said she was walking with another lady on the 22d of April, when the prisoner met them, and having seized her by the throat^ demanded money. They gave him some after which he attempted to pull her brooch from her shawl, but two other ladies just then came in sight, and he ran away.— Ano- ther lady said she had been also robbed by the prisoner on the high road at Lewisham. The police having another case to prefer against the prisener, he was committed for trial, but ordered to be brought up again on Saturday next. The 24th annual meeting of the Newsvendors' Benevolent and Provident Institution, Mr T. Kennedy in the chair, was held, s. t the News Exchange on the 19th instant, for the appointment OS. officers for the ensuing year, and the eleetion of a pensioner, when the result of the ballot was— for Mrs Rose Wild, 239: Mrs Mary I Livett, 91— majority for Mte Wild, 198.
