Bennett— If the horse is scratched before the bet is made, it is void. Scotch Stores— J. B. loses; there were thirty- one starters. II. O. Fuge— At the time of start- who went to support a predetermined course of proceedings. With the exception of a few individuals, who do not seem to have been at all leniently treated, hardly indeed with fairness, Mr Koebuck had it all his own way. He is in favour of recognition, both on the ground of right and of policy. On the ground of the right of England to make the recognition there can be no doubt. Every independent nation, unless bound by a treaty to the con- trary, has the right to do so. But the question of policy is another matter. If the recognition by England would but arouse the greater vindictiveness of the North, and bring England into a war with, the North, the recognition would be an unmitigated evil. It would not stop, but would increase the effusion of blood. Most impartial and thoughtful men imagine that that would be its result. Then, by all means, let it not be attempted. Exhaustion, personally, politically, and pecuniarily, is beginning to produce its effects, and the introduction of a new element of discord would have no other result than to get rid of the exhaustion, and to stimulate both sides to fresh efforts. Atid it would be all the more likely to do so because, if Mr Roebuck's reason for it was acted on, the in- tervention of England would only be due to the motive of self- interest. Recognise the South, says Mr Roebuck, and the cotton famine of Lancashire is at an end. If the cessation of labour in Lancashire had been owing to a cotton famine ( which is utterly untrue), the recognition, for the purpose of putting an end to it, would be a mere piece of selfishness, and could not claim the merit and honour of being an act of political justice or of humanity. Yet it is this which Mr Roebuck counsels, and which the Sheffield meeting applauds. It is to be hoped that the English Ministers have not allowed the terrible battle of the Rappahannock to pass by unheeded. It is to be hoped that, in the most friendly manner, and in the most conciliatory terms, they have suggested to both parties that the continuance of such a struggle can bring no advantage; that hu- manity suffers, that the principles of good government are not advanced, nor the interests of the people improved : and that everything having been done which the most exacting sense of honour could demand, the character of both belligerents would be benefited by the adoption of some terms of compromise. But it is also to be hoped that, for the sake of humanity, no less than for any other consideration, the English Ministers will not adopt Mr Roebuck's suggestion, and most certainly not for the reason which he has most urgently put forth as its justification. inghewas not one of the first WHIST.— E.

One of our greatest poets, inspired by the feeling of religious admiration, has said that we are governed by an influence that " Out of seeming evil still educeth good." He could hardly have met with, he never would have sought for, a stronger illustration of this saying than the distress of Lan- cashire affords. When that distress first appealed to public sympathy the shortest and readiest way to give that aid was adopted. Subscriptions were opened, money poured in, and distress was relieved. But after a very short time there arose the idea that relief given solely as a matter of charity would but corrupt its recipients, and make them greater sufferers than before, though suffering, perhaps, in a different way. And so teaching and a pretence of labour were invented to induce the high- spirited workmen to believe that they did some work for what they got, and to make the rest believe that they would not get everything they wanted without some labour. The" Whole matter was, how- ever, little better than a pretence, though a pretence invented with the best intentions It failed, however, of accomplishing its end — it could hardly do otherw ise; it was but a pretence, and when tested by sense and experience, its true nature became evident. It has been felt that th. s system must be remedied. Labour of a really productive or valuable kind must be provided; and the men to whom the previous work, and the education, were an affectation or a bore, will now feel that while they are receiving the money of their countrymen tbey will be doing that which not only may enrich their country, but will most assuredly add to its comforts. The Poor- law Inspector and the Board of Health Engineer propose to turn the labour of the distressed operatives to really useful purposes. Drainage, sewerage, and road- making are to be the employments of the unworking cotton spinners, and though the wealth thereby pro- duced may not be directly so large as that which the cotton mills gave to the country, the benefit which England will receive will hardly be iess. Of course, at first, an unpractised hand taken from a cotton mill will not be equal in efficiency in road- making, or tunnel- cutting, or draining to a regularly trained excavator, but he will not be half so inefficient for the purposes of the labour he is put upon as an excavator would be if suddenly transferred to a cotton mill. The quick capabilities of Englishmen, their readi- ness to work, their zeal in doing well what they undertake, the practical acquaintance with mechanical forces which an employ- ment in the midst of scientifically- constructed machinery naturally engenders, will all tend to make the newly- created " navvy" a very valuable labourer. We trust that the change of employment may be agreeable to their spirits, renovating to their health, and it is quite certain that, while they are adding to the prosperity and comfort of the country, they will be materially improving their own.

These elections are about to commence, and as Frenchmen are ( according to the settled doctrine of the present French Govern ment, as to which we profess ourselves entirely incredulous) far too stupid to be trusted to elect proper men, and abso lutely to require the authoritative instructions of the Government to keep them out of mischief, M Persigny, the Minister of the M- AOARONI.— J.

The prefects have accordingly issued their circulars to their subordinates, and thus the army of officials is in full activity. It is odd that all this should be necessary under a Sovereign, and with a people as to whom M Persigny can say, " Strong in his Providential origin. Hie elect of the people lias realised all the hopes of France." One might have thought that the divine origin of the ruler, and the gratitude of the people for his realising all their hopes, would be sufficient for anything. But M Persigny is clearly of opinion that it is not so in France. He considers the people to be deficient in perception, or in grati- tude, or in both. Su he recals them to their duty. And he does so not merely by the use of words, but by acts of authority. With a fatal pronenes3 to leier to England whenever such a reference is most damaging to his Government in France, he says :—" If in France, as in Engiand, there were only parties divided as to the conduct of affairs, but all equally attached to our fundamental institutions, the Government might confine itself in the elections to watching the struggle of different opinions. 1' As it cannot confine iteelf to merely watching, it takes an active part in coercing opinions, and that, too, although he describes the parties epposed to the Government as " parties which are still only factions, and are formed of the wrecks ( or ' rubbish,' for the French ' debris' is translatable by both words) of former Govern- ments." Certainly when the French nation requires at the bar of the world's opinion testimony to its good character it must not call M Persigny as its witness. The preparations for the elections have commenced. The pre- fects have obeyed M Persigny's wishes, and some of them have refused to allow the posting up of the addresses of a Liberal can- didate. All sorts of petty tyrannies have been put in force by way of obstructing the people in their choice, such being, in M Persigny's notion, the only way to make the people choose pro- perly. It is possible, notwithstanding all these efforts, so doubt- ful are Frenchmen of the " Providential origin" and the realisa- tion of " the hopes of France," that in the few places where the power of the Government does not overbear everything, the Go- vernment candidates will not be successful, and the popular " Five" of the last Chamber will be strengthened in numbers. PEUSSIA. It is impossible to avoid calling especial attention to Prussian affairs. What has been done may be seen in our Foreign Intelli- gence. The King, in substance, claims forthe men whom he may appoint Ministers the right to address, whenever they please, the Parliament of the kingdom, without being at any time subjec1 to any control whatever as to their mode of addressing it. He might just as well pretend that his sending them there gives them the right to vote as he directs or they please. In truth, they are exactly in the position in which our judges are when called on to assist the House of Lords with their advice. They are there to give information and advice, arid 110 more, and must give both subject to the ru) es of the Assembly to which they give either the one or the other. But the King claims more. He suggesfs his power to levy taxes without the Parli.' irient. Our Charles I. did so, and we know what was the inevitable end of such a claim. Is the King of Prussia, and are the peers of Prus- sia— for they have passed a vote approving of his conduct— blind to the lessons of history ? ROEBUCK AND KEC0SNITI0N. A meeting at Sheffield has passed a resolution to the effect that England ought to recognise the Southern States of America as forming an independent nation. It is impossible to accept this as a declaration of public opinion ; for it is clear, from the report, of what took place, that the meeting was composed of persons HEB MAJESTY IK THE HIGHLANDS.— Although the weather since the arrival of the cour » at Balmoral has not been so favour- able as could have been wished, the Queen, Prince Alfred, and the other members of the royal family have not let a day pass without enjoying drives in the neighbourhood of the castle, and in visiting the poor in the cottages on the estate, in whom Her Majesty has ever taken a kindly interest. More particularly interesting to the court have apparently been the new buildings adjacent to the castle, planned by his late Royal Highness the Prince Consort, and the monument and " Highland Cairn'' erected since last summer to the memory of the departed prince. So early as the afternoon of arrival at Balmoral, Her Majesty proceeded to the monument which has been built by the tenants immediately beyond the policies of the palace, and expressed her- self much pleased with this graceful mark of their ali'ection. A rumour that the Prince and Princess of Wales intend visiting their proper;}' on Deeside during the present summer has created quite a joyous feeling in the Highlands. THE PRIXCE AND PRINCESS or HESSE.— On Saturday, May 23, their fioyal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Louis of Hesse and their infant left London by the South Eastern Railway for Gravesend, where they embarked on board the royal yacht Vic toria and Albert, on their way to Germany. Their royal high- nesses disembarked 011 Sunday at Antwerp, and immediately left tor Brussels, where they arrived soon after three o'clock. Their royal highnesses left for Darmstadt on Monday. IHE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL BENEVOLENT* INSTITUTION.— On Wednesday night the third anniversary festival of this institution was celebrated by a dinner at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate- street. The chair was filled by the Earl of Dartmouth, who was supported by Mr Alderman Mechi, Lieut- Colonel Goddard, Capt Maegregor, He. The usual loyal and complimentary toasts having been given and duly honoured, the chairman gave the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Agricultural Benevolent Insti- tution," and in doing so he enlarged upon the advantages which the institution was capable of conferring. The object of the in- stitution is to provide pensions to bona fide farmers, their widows, and unmarried orphan daughters, and to maintain and educate the orphan children of farmers. The benefits and allowance to pensioners may be thus stated:— Every married couple to be al- lowed the sum of £ 40 per annum; every male pensioner to be allowed the sum of £ 26 per annum; every female pensioner to be allowed the sum of £ 20 per annum; all pensions are paid quar- terly in advance; and every child led, clothed, and educated for the period previously defined. During the proceedings the secre- tary announced the subscriptions and donations to amount to nearly £ 3,000. FATAL WRECK or THE SHIP MOOBESFOOT.— The ship Moores foot, 1,051 tons register, belonging to the port of London, has been totally lost off the Mauritius while on her homeward voyage from Calcutta, and we regret to add that out of her crew, consisting of 42 men and officers, and four passengers, only 15 persons were saved. From the evidence taken before a court of inquiry it ap- peared the Mooresfoot. under the command of Captain E. Coul- thurat, arrived off Port Louis on the 1st of February, and anchored, at about five o'clock in the evening. They had previously had fine weather, and not the least apprehension was entertained by her unfortunate captain and officers of bad weather approaching, although ashore it was pretty generally believed that a storm was pending, and it was evident to all who saw the ship at anchor that, unless she immediately put to sea again, something serious would happen to her. A tremendous surf was already running 011 the reefs at the entrance to the port, and all along the western coast of the island. The signal warning was madefrom Port George forthe " ship to go to sea," and a gun was also fired in the hope of at- tracting the captain's attention, but to no purpose, and it was not till midnight, when the ship began to drive, that the captain became cognizant of his perilous situation. The pilot boat had made several attempts to get out of the harbour to her, but the heavy rollers rendered it utterly impossible. About the time mentioned the captain attempted to get to sea by slipping his anchors. It was too late, however, and the ill- fated Mooresfoot, about one o'clock in the morning, drove on to the reef, and broke up so ra- pidly in the fearful surf that by daylight she was almost entirely destroyed ; 31 of her hapless crew, including Captain Coulthurst and the chief and second officers, perishing in the wreck. The ship and cargo were insured at Lloyd's. GAME PROSPECTS.— Much " anxiety has been occasioned by the cold ungenial weather which has for some time prevailed for the hatching of the grouse. The hatching is now general, and from the accounts received we learn that the nests are well filled with eggs. The recent hail and heavy snowfalls must have been dis- astrous among the early poults. Within the last few days the weather has become warmer. From the reports of the shepherds aud keepers, the hatching season opened very auspiciously on all the Atliole, Strathbraan, Breadalbarie, Killin, Loch Rannoeh, Invercauld, and Ochil moors. The old birds were numerous, in excellent condition, very spirited OK the wing, and free from dis- ease,— Crieff: The weather, though cold and stormy for several weeks past, has been dry, and upon the whole highly favourable for all descriptions of game. On all the extensive moors in this neighbourhood grouse and other game are abundant, and the hatching season is now well advanced. A large number of the more early nests of grouse contain young broods. Numerous broods of partridges are already hatched on the hill sides and banks of the Earn, and parent birds are very plentiful. In all the preserves pheasants abound, and both roe deer and hares are numerous 011 all the estates of the district. The capercailzie is now abundant in many woods. THE HOP PLANTATIONS.— ROCHESTER, MAY 26.— The pro- tracted cold weather which has prevailed for the past few weeks has proved exceedingly detrimental to the growth of the young hop plants, which are* very backward for the season of the year. In many of the best and largest of the plantations the young bine already begins to assume that sickly yellow appearance so discou- raging to the hop planters' expectations, although in many of the best and most sheltered grounds the plants are making fair pro- gress. The recent drought, coupled with the cold nights, has brought the green fly, which is already doing much mischief in some" of the grounds. Up to the present time the prospects of a large crop are anything but encouraging, although the ultimate yield will depend greatly on the weather during the next few weeks— a warm atmosphere accompanied with a few soft showers being all now required for promoting the growth of the hops. Returns have been prepared from various parts of Kent, which leave little doubt that the cultivation of hops is not carried on to such an extent in this county as it was some years since. In 1861, the last year of the hop duty, the number of acres under hop cul- tivation was returned as being 47,940, but that number is now believed to be considerably lessened, to the extent, it is supposed, of about 10 per cent. EXTRAORDINARY LEAP OF A HOESE.— On Saturday week a young liorse was booked by rail at Inverness for Inveramsay, but, contrary to custom, he was placed in a cattle truck along with some cattle. Not liking the puffing of the engine, however, and possibly not approving of the rapidity with which surrounding objects vanished from his gaze, he became very restive after the starting of the train, and at Millburn he leapt right out of the truck, and, strange to say, alighted upon the embankment not a whit the worse for his perilous adventure. He was soon captured by the gatekeeper and led back to town.— Inverness Courier. OUTRAGE NEAB LIMERICK.— An audacious outrage was com- mitted on Friday night week, near the Limerick junction on on the Great Southern and Western Railway, Ireland. The VTVim was MrMatthew Lynch, a respectablebuilderof Dublin, and the per- petrator was a porter in the employment of the railway company. Mr Lynch, who is building several houses at Clonmel, was in the habit" of visiting that town every week to superintend the works and to pay his men. On those occasions he had considerable sums of money with him— a fact, which was known to the officials on the line. On Friday night he was returning to Dublin, and at the Limerick junction he took a seat in the 12: 15 up- train. The Daily Express thus describes what followed—" Mr Lynch was alone in the carriage, and was composing himself to sleep, when, the train being still in slow morion, a porter came to the| door, which was locked, at the opposite side from the platform, and putting his hand in at the window attempted to open the door. Mr Lynch, knowing that the man had no business there, asked him what he wanted. The porter, in reply, asked Mr Lynch had he any money. Mr Lynch said he had none for him, and directed him to go away, but he persisted in his attempt to force open the door. Mr Lynch held it firm and closed. After a good deal of struggling, the train all the time increasing its speed, the ruffian, finding his efforts to effect an entrance unavailing, threw a stone at Mr Lynch's head, which struck him on the forehead over the left eye, partially stunning him, and forcing him to let go his hold. The door immediately flew open before his assailant had time to jump away, it having opened against him, and he was flung off to the ground. To this circumstance Mr Lynch owes his escape from more serious injury, though he was se- verely cut. The wound on his forehead was one of a very serious character, and the stone with which it was inflicted, and which remained in the carriage, was found to weigh fully 21b. On arriving at Thurles he reported the outrage and described the man, who was arrested soon afterwards. He had received severe injuries in the fall from the carriage," BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, MAY 31, 1863. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE- M Emile de Girardin has announced a subscription for Latnar- tine, but the latter declines the proffered honour, though, it is Baid, the distinguished writer is encumbered with debt. Paris has been excited by the appearance of an article in the Constitu- tionnel, signed by Paulin Limeyrac, upon " the intrigues of the men of political parties." There is nothing in the way of literary merit in the article to attract attention, indeed much of it looks very like balderdash ; but it is supposed to express the intentions of the court, and is therefore deemed important. The writer says:—<> An end is about to be put to equivocation. Up to the present time these parties have undermined the power of the Go- vernment by subtm- ranean intrigues, penetrating the Administra- tion by its former relations with it, and vitiating the principle of government. The tendency of popular government is vigorous, full of sap and energy, of love for the masses and sympathy for the popular classes who, the first to hail it, were often perverted by men of a different spirit, who insinuated themselves into many positions under false pretences of devotion, corrupting the best systems by introducing the poison of ancient influences. It was a source of surprise that a known enemy of the Government should exercise so much influence on the Administration. Thank God that is about to cease! False friends, false devotion, and false services will be unmasked and placed face to face with the de- clared enemies of the Government. The part which the Govern- ment has to fulfil will be freed from all the obstacles which have hitherto impeded its progress. The genius of the Empire will be fortified by that which is lost by the spirit of intrigue." This is stupid enough in all conscience, but it may be official. The manifesto of the " Five" deputies is a recapitulation of their labours during the six years of the Parliament just expired. They remind their constituents that in 1853, after what they do not hesitate to stigmatise as the " abominable attempt of Orsini," the voice of the " live" was raised against the law of " public safety." They claim the honour of having been the first to give utterance to the " protest which has since become general against that ex- ceptional law. In the same session they voted against the new act relative to the usurpation of titles of nobility, being of opinion that the real object of that innovation was not to repress certain ignoble misdemeanours, but to restore and protect a privilege con- trary to the principles of the great revolution. They justify their abstention on the occasion of the vote for the Italian war by the suspicion they entertained that it might result in a new treaty of Campo Form'io, and a new expedition to Home. They point to the peace of Villafranca and the support given to the temporal power as a verification of their prognostics. Nevertheless, they steadily supported the Government against the Ultramontanists, and their votes were not among the 91. The Palikao dotation was refused by the Corps Legislatif in consequence of the report of a committee of which one of the five was a member. They note the considerable progress made three years ago by the publication of full reports of the debates ; and observe, as a symptom of the re- vival of public opinion, that whereas, in 1857, it was difficult to find opposition candidates, they abound in 1863. One election joke deserves to be recorded. A person with the name of " La Garde" is the Government candidate for Montpellier. A wag added to his name, at the foot of his address, the words attributed to Cambronne at Waterloo, and then the signature appeared to stand thus: " La Garde meurt, mais neserende pas— au Corps Legis- latif'' [ La Garde dies, but not render himself— to the Legislative body]. The funny prophecy may verify itself. The Steele and the CAanvari have each pointed out that it was rather unfair that the Government should employ the taxpayers' money in paying for the posters and addresses of the official candidates. Both these papers have received a communique from M de Persigny, telling them that " the Government does not pay for these expenses, but that the prefect does''!! The trial of the Mexican Consul General, M de Montluc, for that mysterious offence, " manoeuvres al'inte- rieur," has been put off to the 4th of J une. The offence in this case consisted merely in this gentleman distributing among his friends and acquaintance in Paris Mexican newspapers, contain- ing letters written by himself from the French capital. Exten- sive military preparations are being made in France. It is re- ported they are meant for the war in Mexico; but in many minds they are connected with an anticipated war with . Russia, rumours of which are again current. The pro- Papal party is all in favour at the Tuileries, and the friends of Italy are at a discount. Some French statesmen look with pleasurable anxiety to a change in the advisers of the Crown in England. They say—" If we could get a Derby- Disraeli Cabinet, we should flnd'England supporting the policy of France in Italy." The Conservatives of England are friends, they declare, of the Papacy. SPAIN. A telegram from Madrid states that the sentence of imprison- ment and hard labour at the galleys against the Granada Protest- ants has been commuted into the same number of years' banish- ment. The Queen yielded this with great reluctance. ITALY. The Italian Parliament was opened » by the King in person. His Majesty congratulates the representatives of the people on the progress of the kingdom in order and in prosperity, adverts to the fact that the kingdom has been recognised by most of the European powers, and hopes that the treaties of commerce which have been or are about to be negotiated will add to the develop- ment of the national resources. In the Chamber of Deputies, Ex- Minister Cassinis, the ministerial candidate, has been elected by l( 5o votes to the office of President. Signor Tecchio received 48 and Signor Crispi, member of the Left, 29 votes. PRUSSIA. The answer of the King to the Address of the Chamber was read by the President. It was not countersigned by the Ministers. It states that His Majesty upholds the views of the last Royal Mes sage, and continues:—" The position of the country is known to the King. The Chamber by its address has cut away all hope of community of action. The attitude of the house in foreign ques- tions has grieved the King deeply. Prussia is not more isolated owing to Her foreign policy than other powers. Some members of the house have threatened to refuse the supplies in the contin- gency of a war, but the King will seriously oppose such unjusti- fiable endeavours to enlarge the constitutional rights of the Cham- ber. The King will maintain the power of the Crown undimi- nished, and wnlnot allow the foundation upon which it rests to be removed. The Ministers possess my confidence, and their ac- tions have my assent." This answer was read by the Minister of the Interior, Count Eulenburg, who also gave notice that the parliamentary session would be closed in the afternoon. The closing of the Prussian Chambers took place accordingly, in the White Saloon of the royal castle, by Herr Von il is mark read- ing a speech from the throne, of which the following is a sum- mary :—" By its address to the King upon the 29th of January, the Chamber of Deputies has placed itself in direct opposition to the Government, and, notwithstanding the answer ot the King, has remained in a position adverse to an understanding. By its debates upon foreign politics the Chamber has endeavoured to pa- ralyse the influence of the Government, and has thereby increased the excitement prevalent in the provinces bordering upon Poland. It has accepted misrepresentations of the opponents of Prussia, and aroused apprehensions of external dangers and entanglement in war, for which the existing relations to foreign powers give no well- founded cause. In the recent address the Chamber more- over has altogether refused its co- operation with the Government. This renders the close of its deliberations unavoidably necessary. The Government reserves to itself the power of determining the manner in which the unsettled financial measures shall be brought to a conclusion, and hopes to come to a future under- standing with the representatives of the country." POLAND. A decree of the National Government has been published, order- ing the organisation of a general rising, to take place on the 1st of June next. Levies are directed to be made for the purpose in Poland, Lithuania, and Russia. Langiewicz was designated as the leader of the movement, and he endeavoured to escape in order to accept this post. The official Dziennik publishes an order of the Government, relative to the organisation of the police from the peasantry. It also publishes an official decree addressed to the Civil Governor of Poland, which says:—" An insurrection, which has been partially suppressed, having broken out in Poland, and certain functionaries having aided the disturbers of public order, such functionaries are to be dismissed and replaced by persons enjoying the confidence of the Government.'' The Rus- sians have committed barbarous atrocities, and are plundering the whole of the Palatinate. In some parts the insurrection appears en the increase, and many engagements have been fought with various success on both sides. THE DKAMA. TUKKEY. Private telegrams from Constantinople state that the apprehen- sions entertained at Durazzo of the landing in Albania of a de- tachment of Italian volunteers, have been increased by the appear- ance of an Italian squadron off' the Albanian coast. PEDESTRIANISM. HEB MAJESTY'S THEATKE.— Mdlle Artot has repeated her performance in " La Figlia del Reggimento," and sustained the good opinion generally expressed concerning both her vocal and histrionic abilities. A more important acquisition than this lady has never appeared on the lyrical stage in this metropolis, and we trust to see her in some of the loftier parts of the Italian operatic repertoire. On Tuesday " Lucia di Latnmermoor" was given, with a new Edgardo in the person of Bignor Baragli, one of Mr Mapleson's promised debutants. This gentleman has a hand- some, intelligent face and manly bearing, and has been cultivated in a good school, for his singing is replete with careful study, and his mode of producing his voice and phrasing of the best possible character. His voice, however, is not a strong one, and in music where great passion as well as feeling is required he failed to fill the theatre so completely as more robust tenors have done. After the opera a new ballet, entitled " Bianclii e Negri," was produced. It is a sort of ballet d'action representative of the slave states, the wrongs and sufferings of the slaves, and the brutality exercised towards them in some instances by their masters. A husband, wife, and child undergo a series of adventures, from which they are finally rescued by the Genius of Freedom, represented by Mdlle Morlacchi, who' came to the rescue whenever things were at their worst with her sable protegees. The ballet is the vehicle for some very fine dancing, Mdlle Ferraris introducing a new pas in conjunction with Signor Ammaturo, a young dancer fresh from the San Carlo at Naples, whose graceful agility and salta- tory feats were very astonishing. A grand comic dance, in which all the corps tie ballet, aided by a number of little boys dressed like niggers, was so cleverly contrived and so well executed as to receive a most rapturous encore. Mdlle Trebelli sang behind the scenes some stanzas explanatory of liberty, and Signor Giorza. the composer of the music ( which was unusually good of its kind), presided in the orchestra. Bignor Rota, in obedience to many expressions of approval, appeared before the audience, and it was announced that he was the author of the ballet, which will become popular, and be one of the attractions of this theatre. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—" Martha" was repeated on Saturday week andtheopera wentoff with as brilliant an effect as it well could do, Mdlle Fioretti taking the character of the heroine in lieu of Mdlle Demi. The substitution so pleased the audience, that they encored the spinning- wheel quartet, and the lovely old Irish air " Vergin Rosa," both of which went so llatly on the previous per- formance. Mdlle Fioretti gains ground with every fresh character she undertakes, and proves to be a singer of no ordinary merit. On Monday the " Prophete " was given for the first time this season, with all its splendid accessories of scenery, dresses, and decorations. Signor Tamberlik was in good voice, and did justice to the difficult music of the part of John of Leyden ; Fides was represented by Madame Didiee, on whose behalf an apology was made, on the score of indisposition. On' Thursday the " Trova- tore " was performed, Signor Mario appearing for the first time these three years as Manrico ; he was in excellent voice, and sang the troubadour's ballad with all his most tender expression. Bignor Graziani was the Gonde di Luna, and sang with somewhat, more than his usual spirit, gaining an encore for the all- popular " IlBalen," a song so hackneyed in these days of universally cheap music, that it seems marvellous it should* have retained its popularity. As all prima donnas sooner or later seem doomed to appear on the scenes of their pristine triumphs as the hapless Leonora, so Mdlle Patti took this trying part, singing and acting it with all her original determination and spirit. She introduced some novel cadenzas into the opening aria, which were received by the audience with much applause. It is not, we think, likely to prove her most attractive part. Madame Didiee being indisposed, the part of Azucena was played by a Mdlle Lustani, who made her first appearance in England on the occasion. OLYMPIC THEATKE.— Mr Tom Taylor's new drama is a success, though he has departed from his accustomed style of writing, and given us a piece more after the fashion of the Adelplii or Surrey dramas. It is called " The Ticket- of- Leave Man,'' and is the his- tory of the endeavours of one Brierly ( Mr Neville) to free himself from the consequences to which he has become exposed owing to the villany of a fellow named Dalton ( Mr Atkins). Exiled from his native land, he returns to flnd all occupation denied to him as soon as it is known that he is the bearer of the fatal document called a ticket of leave. But, after many trials and troubles, he contrives to foil the schemes of Dalton, and to become restored to the paths of rectitude once more. In these honest intentions he is aided by Mary ( Miss Kate Saville), to whom he is ultimately married. There are other characters in the piece which was ad- mirably played by all the dramatis persona*— a gamin of the Eng- lish type being capitally played by Miss Raynham, and a profes- sional vocalist being as admirably sustained by Miss Hughes, who sang twice during the progress of the drama. Miss Kate Saville was expressive and pathetic, and Mr Neville, whose rising quali- ties as an actor are becoming more apparent every day, took the leading business of the evening with the greatest success. The drama was most favourably received, and will doubtless have a long run. ADELPHI THEATEE.— Another new burlesque has been brought out, apparently for the object of introducing the sisters Misses Cary and Sara Nelson, daughters of the late popular composer, to an Adelphi audience. The present extravaganza is from the pen of the punning Mr Byron, and is called " III Treated II Trovatore." It is, of course, a parody on " Verdi's wonderfully popular opera, and is full of humour and genuine fun, enlivened with portions of the well- known airs and by several snatches of Nigger melodies, and other popular songs of the day. Miss Sara appears as the devoted Leonora, and her sister as Manrico, and these ladies sing and act these characters very agreeably. Mr Phillips makes the most of his version of the Conde di Luna, and Mr Bedford as Kinchin, clerk to the Gipsy Queen, looks his cha- racter to the life. The gem of the piece, however, is the Azucena of Mr Toole, nothing being wanting to fill up the absurd diver- sities of his travesty. His makeup was excellent, and his burlesque entry on the stage full of point and method. The scenery and dresses were excellent, and the " Trovatore" bids fair, in its new shape, to have as long a run as its more serious predecessor. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—" Court and Camp " is the name of a new grand drama, produced here, with every attention to scenic effect, on Wednesday night. Miss Amy Bedgwick and Miss Lydia Thompson are engaged expressly to personate the principal cha- racters. The plot struck us as being a little too complicated, but after a second hearing of it we shall be better able to report upon its merits. M THALBEB&' S MATINEES.— M Thalberg has appeared once more, and has enchanted his hearers at the first of four perform- ances to be given at the Hanover- square Rooms. Upon this occa- sion this great executant played two of Mendelssohn's songs with- out words, and the same composer's scherzo from the " Midsum- mer Night's Dream" with wonderful effect. A fantasia on Irish airs, in which two melodies are simultaneously heard, seemed to excite the audience to the most unrestrained enthusiasm, though, to our thinking, a quiet, graceful composition, entitled " A Bal- lade," written by M Thalberg himself, was infinitely to be pre- ferred. The rooms were as full as they well could be, and the whole performance went off to the extreme satisfaction of all present. MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS.— The concert, on Monday last, was what is called a Mendelssohn night, and served to intro- duce a new violinist as a candidate for musical honours, Herr Japha, who led the quartet in E flat, and the exquisite trio in C minor, in a style to prove, in spite of all nervousness incidental to a first appearance, that he is an executant of no common order. Mdlle Liebhardt's clever singing of Abt's Guten Morgen, and Mr Sautley's expressive rendering of Wallace's Bell Ringer, were pleasant vocal items in the evening's programme, which was further enriched by Mr C. Halle's brilliant performance of the popular Capriccioso andante and rondo in E. Ma CHARLES HALLE'S PIANOFORTE RECITALS.— The second of these very interesting recitals was the means of inducing a large assemblage of the lovers of Beethoven to listen to Mr Halle's ad- mirable interpretation of that wonderful master's sonata in E flat, the Moonlight sonata in C minor, and a selection from the Book of Bagatelles, each of which was played by Mr Halle, with- out any notes, to rare perfection, and with the utmost possible tenderness of expression, and gracefulness of feeling and fancy. Two waltzes, by Chopin, full of that peculiar dreamy voluptuous- ness which is the characteristic of all his compositions, were also in the programme, as was likewise Scarlatti's quaintly- striking " Harpsichord Lessons.'' The Princess of Wales, Princess Louis of Hesse, and the Princess Mary of Cambridge, occupied the centre - ofa, and appeared to give their undivided attention to the musical treats of the morning. NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.— In future all advertisements for this department of Bell's Life in London must reach our office on Thursdays, before four o'clock, or they will not be inserted until the following week. They must not exceed seven lines in length, or they will be charged double, and so on in proportion for every succeeding seven lines. GEEECE. The French Minister Plenipotentiary at Athens has been told by the French Foreign Office that he is to leave Greece if the Go- vernment does not maintain order. The leading men are reported to have said, " If you cannot find us a king say so at once, and we will do the best amongst ourselves to establish a permanent form of Government." If this has been said it is a sensible and hopeful declaration of national purpose. There are reports of absolute an- archy prevailing at Athens. The state of affairs there is very un- satisfactory, but these reports are exaggerated. NORTH AMERICA. General Grant officially reports he met the enemy, 11,000 strong, four miles south of Port Gibson on the 1st, and engaged him all day, entirely routing him, with a loss of many killed and 500 prisoners. The Federal loss was 100 killed and 500 wounded. Gen Lee says:—" We have reoccupied Fredericksburg. No enemy remains upon the south of the Rappahannock, or in the vicinity." The liichmond Enquirer considers Chancellorsville the most des- perate battle yet fought, and estimates the Confederate loss at 8,000 to 10,000, and that of the Federals at 25,000 to 30,000, in- cluding 8,000 prisoners. Southern journals assert that the Con- federates have captured 30 pieces of artillery. General " Stone- wall " Jackson's left arm was amputated below the shoulder, a bullet had also passed through his right hand. Heisdead. During Mr Vallandigham's trial at Cincinnati he protested against the le- gality of the military commission. He demanded that Fer- nando Wood should be compelled to produce before the court the letter he received from Richmond, relating to the terms offered for the return of the Southern senators to Congress, and President Lincoln's letter declining to entertain the proposition. Mr Yallandigham declared himself a constitutional Unionist. After thetrial the court submitted its decision to General Burnside, but the purport of the decision has not yet been made public. An attempt was made to procure Mr Vallandigham's release by habeas corpus. The New York Democrats have held a special meeting, de- nouncing Vallandigham's arrest. They think the arrest a gross wrong to individual rights. In the case of the prize vessel Springbok, the judge of the New York District Court has decided that where a vessel is suspected of carrying contraband goods, even if she had not attempted to run the blockade, her cargo may be examined to determine whether it is contraband or not. General Hooker has issued a congratulatory order, saying that the army has added new laurels to its renown, having captured seven pieces of artillery, 5,000 prisoners, and having placed hors de combat 18,000 of the enemy's troops. General Lee and President Jefferson Davis have also issued congratu- latory orders. So the victory is claimed on both sides. The communication between General Lee's troops and Richmond was unimpeded. General Meagher had resigned the command of the Irish brigade, owing to the Washington Government pay- ing no attention to claims he made on behalf of his force. The United States Circuit Court at Cincinnati has not yet decided whether it will grant Vallandigham an application for a writ of habeas corpus. General Burnside has sent a protest to the court, saying it is his duty to stop license and intemperate discussions, which tend to weaken the authority of the Government and the army. MEXICO- Advices have been received from Puebla, by way of Havana. The " Sports are conflicting. Some state that General Comonfort had V ' ~: eived a reinforcement of 7,000 men, and that the French had '' jcen compelled to abandon Fort San Xavier, and fall back to Amalucan. Others aver that the French had captured the church of Carmen. It is also reported that Butson had been defeated and Marquez captured. The last advices state that the French have sustained two serious repulses before Puebla. They have only taken two insignificant torts, and have lost 3,000 men in killed and wounded. Nearly all the wounded have died, owing to the climate. The rainy season was setting in, and the French them selves do not expect to reach Mexico before the autumn. General Comonfort is in the rear of the French with, it is said, 8,000 cavalry, and nothing can be sent to the French army from Vera Cruz except under a strong escort. The French themselves are much disheartened. There are about 400 of their troops in Vera Cruz. The Mexicans allow mails to go up to Mexico, but none from that city has reached the coast for four months. This pre- vents intelligence respecting the interior from reaching the French. The Mexicans are fighting with the most determined obstinacy. The houses in Puebla are flat- roofed, and every house is a fortress. THE DEFENCE OF THE MEDWAY.— The works in connection with the erection of the batteries and forts near Garrison- point, at the entrance of the Med way, for the better protection of Chatham Dockyard and Arsenal, will now be carried on to their comple- tion, no further delays being permitted in the progress of the work, the Government being desirous of having the first line, or outer defences, completed befoie any considerable progress has been made in the Chatham Dockyard extension works. The foundations of the massive casemated fort to be placed at the ex- treme limit of Garrison- point have been laid upwards of twelve- months, since which operations have been entirely suspended in order to allow the foundations to solidify and become settled before the battery is erected. The substructure having had suffi- cient time to settle, the first section of the superstructure will be proceeded with, this portion of the fort embracing the main tier of casemates, which are intended to mount guns of the very heaviest metal. The ferm of the fort is semi- circular, with its front facing the main channel approach to Chatham harbour. It will consist of two stories or tiers, and will be constructed of a strength far surpassing any modern erection of that kind, so as to be able to mount the heaviest known kind of ordnance. The position of the first, or outer fort, will effectually cut off any at- tempt of a hostile vessel entering the Med way from the eastward, while that of the guns placed en barbette will command the entire channel by which vessels ascend the estuary of the river to Chat- ham harbour. In order to allow for the sinking of the foundations and the settlement of the fort, the work will be proceeded with under separate contracts, which, although prolonging the time for the completion of the undertaking, will add materially to the strength and security of the structure. The western face of the fort will command a portion of the channel about 1,000 yards in width, through which all vessels proceeding up to Chat- ham have to pa3s; the guns from the battery on Garrison- point, in conjunction with those mounted on the Martello Tower on the opposite side of the channel, thus cutting off'any hostile squadron attempting to enter the channel from the Nore. MURDER OF A WIFE AND SON.— On Wednesday an inquest was held at The Crown, St George's Circus, Southwark, on the bodies of Martha Lidbetter, aged 59, and Daniel Lidbetter, aged 17, who had been murdered by the husband of Mrs Li. ibetter, on Whit- Monday.— Mr Woodford Henry Pugh said: I live at 102, Borough- road, and am a chemist and druggist. I know Mr Lid- better. He i3 a chairmaker and public- house fitter, carrying on business in the Borough- road. I was just opening my business at seven o'clock on Monday morning, when Mr Lidbetter came across the road and said, " Mr Pugh, will you come over?" I said, " I will be over in a minute," and he went back to the house. I overtook him before he went inside and asked him what was the matter. He told me then in a very feeble voice, " I have killed my wife and the boy ( meaning his son)." That was all he said at the time. I did not believe him, and said " No 1" and he said, " It is a fact." I then said, " Come up and let us see what you have done." I went up to the sleeping- room, which is a central room on the first- floor, where they all slept. Mr Lidbetter went up with me. As soon as I was in the room I saw the wife lying partly in the bed and partly out. Her head and chest were on the bed, and she was lying on her face. The lower part of the legs were bare, and very cold. She was on the side nearest the door as I went in. There was a little bed on MATCHES FOR THE WEEK- JUNE. 1.— Lee and Page— to run half a mile, Lee to have two yards start, £ 5 a side, Garratt- lane. 1.— Hannant and Lovell— 120 yards, £ 10 a side, Bow. 1.— Barker, Jones, and Richards— to run four miles, £ 25 each.

POST OFFICE ORDERS for Deposits, in which the EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON is made stakeholder, must be made payable to " WILLIAM CLEMENT," at the Post Office, Strand, and addressed to this office. THE TEN- MILE CHAMPION CUP- MR EDITOR : As John White mentions Mr Baum's name and my own in your last, a few words will set the matter right. On this last occasion, as on the first, White omitted to perform an im- portant condition, by which the Cup can be challenged for— that is, to leave a deposit of £ 5 with his challenge, and of which ne- cessity he was fully made cognisant when he first wished to run Lang. Let him leave £ 5 with you, sir, which will compel the present holder to give him the first chance after his present en- gagement ; or Lang, if he wins, must resign the Cup. With Deer- foot we have nothing to do, and only learned that he is matched with Lang through your columns; and having carried out the preliminary conditions the match must go on. As regards White and Lang, both Mr Baum and myself would like to see them run for the Champion's Cup, and when they do I hope they may both be well on the day ; but if White wishes for a match to keep him going whilst waiting for the Ten- mile Cup I will match a man to run him any distance up to six miles, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side, to run at Hackney Wick, and, not forgetting the first important condi- tion, I have deposited fo in your hands to bind the match, hoping White may cover the same and go on with it.— Yours, & c, Hackney Wick, May 28. WILLIAM PRICE. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW- SALT OF MILWALL AND CAUSER OF POPLAR.— On baturday, May 23, there could not have been less than 1,000 persons assembled on J. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, to witness the 100 yards spin between these pedestrians, for £ 25 a side. The race proved one of the best and most exciting spins that has ever been decided on this ground. The betting opened at evens, but ultimately Salt was made the favourite at 5 and 6 to 4, there being a great deal of the circulating medium speculated on the result. In settling the preliminaries Mr Griffiths was chosen referee, and all being ready the competitors came to the mark, having to go by mutual consent, but if not away in twenty minutes were to start by report of pistol. Both men had been carefully trained for the event, and when under the care of their attendants they cams to the mark, it was at a glance seenthevwere all that could be desired in condition. The pedestrians made some eight or nine false moves, in these preliminary " plunges'' getting over the mark. At length when they had been manceuv- ring at the mark some ten or fifteen minutes they got fairly away. Causer, from being a trifle the quicker on his legs, succeeded in getting a shade the best of the start, and as they carne away from the mark headed his opponent by something like half a yard. They had not, however, covered more than twenty or thirty yards before Salt had closed up the gap between them, and at a slashing pace was running shoulder to shoulder with his opponent. Between the pedestrians a beauti- fully- contested race eusued until they had arrived within some 20 yards of the goal, when Salt, in the most superb style, gathered himself well together, and in the last grand final effort went away with the lead, and passed the goal the winner by two yards, both men at the finish being much exhausted. The winner can have the stakes at our office on Thursday, June 4, at twelve o'clock. NICHOLS AND HOWARD.— This was a race of 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, and when the requisite preliminaries had been adjusted the competitors came to the mark. On starting they broke from the mark in excellent form, and after a well- contested struggle, Nichols went in a winner by three yards. STONE AND HADLEY.— These men next came on the ground to contend for supremacy in a spin of 120 yards, for £ 5 a side. Stone was the favourite, but there was little or no money invested on the result. A capital start was effected, and, after a most exciting struggle, Stone went by the goal the winner by not more than a yard. ANDERSON AND WIIITEHORN.— This was a spin of 400 yards, for £ 5 a side, but although Whitehorn was the first to pass the gaol, yet the referee, James Pudney, owing to the men having " fouled " each other during the race, ordered them to run again, allowing an interval of 20 minutes for them to make ready in. When again called on to come to the mark, Whitehorn, to the surprise of all, did not put in an appearance, therefore Anderson ran over the ground and claimed the stakes. BKAGGS AND Rows.— This was a race of one mile, for £ 10 a side, and a well- coutested match ended in Rowe being the winner by 10 yards. EVANS AND MITCHELL.— These men likewise came on the ground to run a mile, for £ 10, Mitchell being allowed 30 yards start. Notwithstanding Evans from the moment the struggle had commenced gradually gained on his opponent, still he could not succeed in wresting the lead from him, therefore Mitchell went in the winner by three yards. ANDREWS AND ALDRIDGE.— The conditions of the match be- tween these pedestrians was to cover the greatest distance, fair heel and toe, within one hour, for £ 5 a side. A more one- sided and totally uninteresting affair was never witnessed, for Andrews, when he had not gone more than three miles and a half, finding he had not the least chance, pulled up, and having retired from the ground, left Aldridge to fill up the time and claim the stakes. MONDAY, MAY 25.— There was again a capital attendance here to witness the Whitsuntide sports, the first event decided being: — TODDY RAY v TIME.— In this match against time, the cele- brated Toddy Ray of Limehouse had been backed to run 15 miles in one hour and 30 minutes, for a bet of £ 20 to £ 10. On starting, Ray went away in excellent style, and continued to rattle along at a winning pace. The first four miles were accomplished in 21min dOsec, eight miles were run in 44min Seec,- and the first 10 miles were fairly completed in 59min. Bay, who was still pacing along at the same steady pace as when he started, continued the struggle against the " enemy" in the most successful manner, and on the termination of the distance was ascertained to be the winner, having run the 15 miles in lh 29min lasee. J. PUDNEY OF MILE END AND W. JACKSON ( THE AMERICAN DEER).— These well- known pedestrians had to run four miles, for £ 50, and this was undoubtedly looked on as being the most im- portant match of the day. When the preparatory matters had been arranged the pedestrians came to the mark, both looking in excellent fettle. On the signal being given they went off in good style, Jackson, who just headed his opponent by two or three yards, making the running in his well- known determined man- ner. During the performance of the first mile there was not the least change in the position of the men, for as they passed the referee to enter upon the second Jackson was still to the fore, the old- un being some two or three yards in advance. When the men had run about a mile and a half of the distance Pudney put on a fine spurt, closed upon his opponent, and took the lead, although he soon had to resign the premiership, the old- un as they went by the gaol for the completion of the second mile being once more ahead, yet Pudney was so well on his quarters that they were not more than two yards apart. Although the match was well contested, still there was not the slightest variation in the position of the men, for Pudney, who had from the start made a waiting race of it, kept just in the rear of his opponent until they had entered upon the final lap of the fourth and last mile, when, after a fine struggle, he went in a winner by eight yards. MILE HANDICAP.— This was for money prizes, and wa3 con- tested by the following men, viz :— Sharpe from scratch, Golder's lad 50 yards start, Winter 200. A capitally- contested race from end to end, and Golder's lad the winner, Winter finishing second, and Sharpe third. HEENAN AND BEEMAN.— These men contended in a spin of 150 yards, for £ 10 a side, J. Pudney acting as referee. On running a dead heat the pedestrians agreed to run off at once, and after twenty minutes had been allowed them to make ready, they again came to the mark, having to go by mutual consent. Al- though Heenan got over the mark, yet he allowed his opponent to go away without him, therefore as Beeman ran over the ground by himself he claimed the stakes. The referee, however, as he did not see the start, did not, when called upon, feel that he was in a position to give a decision, so the Gisputed point remains undecided, and unless the men agree to run again they must draw. TUESDAY.— There was again^ a good attendance here, when the following event was decided:— 170 YARDS HANDICAP.— This was for money prizes, and the pedestrians were drawn to run thus:— First heat: Day 12 yards start, Mitchell 20. Beckwith 12. A good race, Day the winner by a yard.— Second heat: Andrews 12, Whitmore 16, Bennett 16. Andrews gradually closed on his men, and won a line race by not more than half a yard.— Third heat: Reid 12, West 20, Phillips 15. Phillips passed his competitors when near the finish, and went in a winner by a bare yard.— Fourth heat: Jacques 12, Tay- lor 14, Hagon 19. Another well- contested struggle, Jacques the winner bylialf a yard.— Final heat: Day 12, Reed 12, Jacques 12, Andrews 12, had now, being the four winners of the preparatory heats, to contend for the prize, when a fine animating struggle ensued, Day going by the goal a winner by a bare yard, Reed second, Jacques third, Andrews last; the whole of the team, how- ever, being wonderfully close together. WHITSUNTIDE SPORTS AT HACKNEY WICK. MONDAY, MAY 25.— The attractive bill of fare issued by Mr Baum and his able coadjutor, W. Price, had the effect of causing a strong muster of the sporting Metropolitans to assemble here to witness the events appointed for decision. The first that came off was the MILE HANDICAP.— This was for money prizes, first £ 7, second £ 2, third £ 1, and the pedestrians who had been handicapped by W. Price contended thus :— First heat: G. Davis 90 yards start W. Tyrrell 190, Karnott 200, W. Sanderson 210, Book 235, W. Smith 250. This was well contested, and ended in the victory of Smith, Book next.— Second heat: E. Golder 90, H. Lewis 215, Peterson 230, Warrington 240. Another fine race, Warrington winning by five yards, Lewis next.— Third heat: W. Brittain 200, W. Jones 260, Jerry 290. After a rattling spin, Jones went in a winner by four yards, Shepherd next.— Fourth heath : W. Mills 200, Wilkinson 205, W. Batten 230, W. Earl 240, Samuels 260. Won by Wilkinson, Samuels next. A good race throughout.— Fifth huat: W. Davis 215, Jones ( Birmingham) 250. Jones kept the lead, and won as he liked.— Sixth heat: Furness 12. W Gurley 150, W. Gilder 200, G. Fenton 235, W. Richards 60. This was a capitally- contested race, and ended in the victory of Furness, Gurley next. The winners, according to the conditions of the handicap, had to run the final heat on the following day. CORNWALL AND DEVON WRESTLING.— The sports of the wrest- ling were under the superintendence of Messrs G. Rooke of Rother- THE SHOOTING OF GENERAL VAN DORN.— The New York journals have communications from Nashville, confirming the report of the shooting of the Confederate General Van Dorn on the 9th iast. He was shot by Dr Peters, with whose wife he had been carrying on for a long time an improper intimacy. SUICIDE OF MR SWANB& ROUGH.— We regret to hear that Mr Swanborough, sen, lessee and manager of the Strand Theatre, destroyed himself by cutting his throat, on Wednesday, at his re- sidence, Haverstock- hill. He had been unwell for some time, and unable to attend to bis duties, but no cause is assigned for the aet. the further side, and there I saw the son, Daniel, lying on his bed on his back, and his throat was cut very seriously.

Wednesday night in the metropolis. One was at Messrs Light s | FINAL HEAT FOR MILE HANDICAP.- The winners of the pre- antS ^ the Curtain- road, which was not extinguished | paratory heats: Wilkinson 205 yards start, Warrington 240, Jones until £- 3,000 worth of damage had been done. Another was at » T.- -'- - > „ _, b„„„ ,,' at Mr Tuckfield's, a jeweller, of Powell- street, Goswell- street; and another at a vesta factory, in New Montague- street, White- chapel. At each of these fires much damage was done, but, for- tunately, no lives were lost. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths m the week ending May 23 were 1,259, considerably below the number in the previous week, and, indeed, lower than in any previous week since October. The number, however, is still above the average. There were 68 deaths from small- pox, 94 from scarlatina, and 37 from measles. One man died in Chelsea Hospital aged 109. The births in the week were 961 boys and 927 girls— total 1,888.

MONDAY, MAY 25.— Mr B. Garratt's enclosed ground, not- withstanding the attractions elsewhere, was numerously attended. J. MILES OF BRIXTON AND OLIVER.— The match between these pedestrians, which was looked on as the leading feature in the day's sport, was to walk 10 miles for £ 50 and the champion's belt, Oliver receiving one minute and a half. Mr Garratt officiated as referee, and all the preliminaries being adjusted, the pedestrians came to the mark, the betting being 5 to 4 on Miles. Oliver, on receiving the signal to go, went off at a slashing pace, and on the expiration of the allotted time was found to have covered 400 yards, so that he wa3 nearly a lap in advance of his opponent. On Miles being told to go, he dashed off in excellent style, putting on one of those tremendous spurts for which he is noted. From the moment Miles had started in pursuit of his opponent he began cutting down the distance between them in a decided manner, and had so improved his position that when four miles and a half sf the distance had been accomplished the Brixton clipper had so diminished the gap as not to be more than two or three yards in the rear. Ere the fifth mile had been accomplished Miles had succeeded in wresting the lead from his opponent, so that he now had the winning card in hand, and his friends offered to back him at the most tempting odds, but without inducing the parti- sans of his opponent to speculate. Oliver continued to persevere in the most plucky style up to the termination of the eighth mile, when, finding he had no chance, as Miles kept leaving him more and more in the rear, he pulled up and retired from the match, so that Miles, being left in undisputed possession of the field, won with ease. EVE AND TIMMINS.— These men walked six miles, for £ 5 a side, Timmins receiving one minute. J. Jacques acted as referee, and on coming to the mark the odds were 6 to 4 on Timmins. The match was well contested, but ended in the victory of Tim- mins, who maintained the advantage of the lead, and went in a winner by 20 yards. MILE " HANDICAP.— This was for a silver watch, and was con- tested by 10 competitors ; when, after a well- contested race throughout, Parkins went by the goal the winner, Thompson second, and Willis third. TUESDAY.— UNDERWOOD AND ALLEN.— These men met here, pursuant to articles, to decide their walk of two miles, for £ 10 a side, Allen being allowed 20 yards. The meeting was well attended, and in arranging the preliminaries Jacques, the pedestrian, was chosen referee. On coming to the mark Under- wood had for his attendant Oliver of Chelsea, while Wyld, the pedestrian, looked after Allen, who, like his opponent, was in ad- mirable condition. On getting off the competitors put on the steam in a most unmistakeable manner. After, however, the third lap ( three quarters of a mile) of the distance had been covered, Allen began to show a marked diminution in speed, so that Un- derwood rapidly closed upon him ; but just as he was about to come to the fore he was interfered with in a most improper man- ner by Allen's attendant, and owing to this the men " cannoned.'' Underwood as they went on came well to the front, and soon left a formidable gap between himself and his opponent, and on the finish of the distance went in an easy winner. Allen, in fact, after the fifth lap did not attempt to make a race of it, as his friends claimed the stakes, on the plea that he had been jostled in a most unfair manner by his opponent. The point, however, was over- ruled by the referee, who on being appealed to decided Under- wood to be fairly entitled to the stakes. PEBESTRDJ NISM AT BE0MPT0N. MONDAY, MAY 25.— There was a strong muster of the sport- ing metropolitans assembled on J. Roberts's enclosed ground to witness the events that had been appointed to come off. The first that figured on the card was a 150 YARDS HANDICAP.— This was for money prizes given for competition by the proprietor, and the winners of the preliminary heats were Langley 12 yards start, Johns 13, Rodwell 12, Travel's 20. These men had now to contend for the prize, when Johns, after a fine struggle, went in winner by half a yard, Langley second, and Rodwell next. 120 YARDS HURDLE RACE.— This was also for money prizes, and the competitors contended thus:— First heat: Powe from scratch. Ground 6 yards start. A good race, Powe the winner.— Second heat: Rod well 2, Perry 4. Another clipping race, Rodwell the winner.— Final heat: Powe from scratch, Rodwell 2. These men had now to contend for the prize, when, after a finely- con- tested race, Powe proved the winner. FOUR MILES HANDICAP.— This event, which was regarded as the leading feature of the day's sport, was for money prizes given for compefion by the proprietor, and was contested by the under- mentioned, viz, White of Gateshead from scratch, Jones of Isling- ton 300 yards start, Andrews of Holborn 3- 70, Baines 880. On the start being made the leading men made the running at a clipping pace, but such superiority was evinced in speed on the part of Jones and White that they rapidly diminished the gap between themselves and the two leading men, and after the completion of the second mile the interest of the struggle became centred en- tirely in them. A fine struggle ensued, continued to the finish, and resulted in Jones going in the winner. In addition to the above, there was wrestling by the best men in the Life Guards; also sparring, and the swoi d exercise. The proceedings wound up with the " inimitable" Chantrell Family, when the boys ( Carl and Fritz) exhibited their extraordinary abilities, to the great gratification of all present. CANTERBURY WHITSUNTIDE ^ ATHLETIC SPORTS, Under the patronage of Sir Brooke W. Bridges, Bart, M. P.; Sir Edward C. Dering, Bart, M. P.; Sir W. Somerville, Bart, M. P. ; H. A. Butler Johnstone, Esq, M. P.; and the Right Worshipful the Mayor ( T. N. Wightwick, Esq). These annual sports, which have now become so poDular, were for the third season celebrated on Monday and Tuesday, May 25th and 26th, on the Canterbury Cricket Ground, and were witnessed by some thousands of spectators, who en- tered most heartily into the spirit of the sports. The ground was a quarter of a mile in circumference, and was well roped round, so that the competitors could not in any way be in- terfered with. The whole of the proceedings were under the entire superintendence of Mr G. Flinn, aad passed off most satis- factorily. The various events were contested with the utmost spirit, but the great pressure on our space will not allow, which we much regret, of our giving more than the winners of the final heats, viz, those who in the end were successful in gaining the seve- ral prizes.— 200 Yards Race, for Youths of Canterbury under 18 years of age; first prize £ 1, second 10s, third os, and 2s 6d for winning a heat and not gaining a prize. Final heat: Cramp 12 yards start, 1; Palace- street Novice 24, 2; Keen scratch, 3; Holness 10, 4; Welsh 7, 5. Won by four yards.— All England One Mile Handicap Race!; first prize £ 5, second £ 2, third £ 1 10s, and £ 1 for each man win- ning a heat J & c. Final heat: J. Fenton 36 yards start, 1; N. Walter 48, 2; C. Payne 15, 3; T. Brown 28, 4; ' W. Lang scratch, 0; E. Whitewood, 40, 0; S. Button 26, 0; B. Brunell 14, 0; A. Gardener 30, 0. The race was a very merry one until half a mile had been traversed, when Fenton was leading, followed by Walter; Brown third, Payne fourth, Sutton fifth, after whom came Lang. In the third lap Lang passed Brunell and ran up to the leading men, but could never quite get up, and Fenton won easily; Lang was fifth, and the others did not persevere.— 440 Yards Handicap Race, open to the county of Kent; first prize an electro- silver cup, with £ 2 added, second" £ 2, third £ 1 10s, and £ 1 for each man winning a heat, & c. Final heat: H. Head of Ashford 32, 1; King of Chatham 50, 2; Larkin of Walmer 20, 3; Hobson of Woolwich 30, 4; North 35, 0; Colebrook 20, 0; Payne was drawn. A good race all through; won by Head by four yards from King, who was three yards before Larkin. who was four yards before Hobson, the others tailed off.— All England Seven Miles Handicap Walking Match; first prize £ 10, second £ 2, third £ 110s, fourth £ 1: Thirty- one started on the handicap terms; when the faster men passed the long- start gentlemen the affair was a mass of confusion. King of Chatham and Bacon of the same place were disqualified, and from time to time one by one dropped out until there were only about eight left. Spooner was one of the seeeders. When the seven miles ( 28 laps) had been traversed there was a scene or two, but the referee finally gave the first prize (£ 10) to Newing, the second (£ 2) to G. Davis of Battersea, the third ( 110s) to Btockwell of Camberwell, and the fourth (£ 1) to C. Thomas of London. Of course this arrangement did not apoear to suit all parties, but there can be no doubt that the award was fair and impartial. In future it is certain that the walking match must, to a certain extent, be remodelled, to avoid the large fields. Previous to the walking match Pole Leaping, open to all England, took place; first prize £ 2, second £ 1, third 10s : There were three competitors, the winner proving to be R. Epps of Smeeth, who cleared 7ft 6in: F. Fowler of Canterbury being second, clearing 7ft; and A. Short of Canterbury third, having cleared Oft 6in. On Tuesday, May 26, the grand day, there was again an immense gathering. The card was of unusual strength, the prin- cipal event being the race of 10 miles. The first race on the card was the walking match, which came off as follows :— Six Miles Walking Handicap, for youths of Canterbury under 20 years of age ; first prize £ 2, second £ 1, third 10s, and 5s for each one walk- ing the distance : A. Newing at scratch, 1; H. Hulgrave 2| min, 2 ; J. Hayward 2Jmin, 3 ; Sandy 2min, 4 ; R. Tanner lfmin, 0 ; Rateliffe 5min, 0 ; T. Agar 6min, 0. At the start the scratch man dashed off at a rare pace, and soon passed Tanner, Huigrave, and Sandy for one lap, and went along at such a pace that the first mile was walked by Newing in eight'minutes. At| three miles Ratcliffe was leading by 150 yards, Newing second, Hayward third, Sandy fourth, Hulgrave fifth, Tanner sixth. Agar seventh. Won by Hayward, 160 yards from the second. The others only walked out for money given.— Half Mile Handicap, open to the county of Kent; first prize an electro- silver cup ( with £ 2 added), second £ 2, third £ 1 10s, and £ 1 for each man winning a heat, & c. Final heat: C. Payne at scratch, 1: F. Larkin 20, 2; Winch 50, 3; Ashford Stag 40, 0 ; T. Cox 45, 0; Harkaway 40, 0. Winch led at the conclusion of the first lap, followed by Payne and the Ashford Stag, the others well up. Soon after* Payne took the lead, and held it to the end, but Larkin, coming with a rush, was only beaten by half a yard ; the others well up.— All England 440 Yards Handicap Hurdle Race, over twelve hurdles; first prize, £ 5; second, £ 2; third, £ 1 10s, and £ 1 for every man winning a heat, & c. Final heat: C. Payne five yards start, 1: P. Franks 40, 2; Winch 50, 3; Tuck scratch, 0; S. Christo- pher 35, 0; E. Fowler 40, fell. Payne and Tuck gradually got to their men, when Tuck tired, and Payne passed all his men at the last hurdle, and won by four vards from Franks, who was a couple before Winch.— Pole Leaping, open to all England. —£ irst prize £ 2, second £ 1, third 10s: T. Price of Canterbury 1, E. Fowler of Canterbury 2, R. Epps 3. The winner of the first prize on Monday had to allow twelve inches, and the second six inches. All the competitors cleared 7ft, and failed at 7ft 6in, so Price, who was allowed the penalty, was the winner; and Fowler, who was second on Monday, was second; and the winner last.— All England Ten Miles Handicap Race ; first prize £ 10, second £ 2, third £ 110s, fourth £ 1 : Harry Andrews of Holborn 3 minutes' start, 1; W. Lang of Middlesbro' scratch, 2; W. Brown of Fulham 6fmin, 3; W. Jones of Islington 2, 4: B. Brunei of Hoxton 3|, 0; W. Delue of Mile End 5, 0; G. Brooker of Camden Town 5|, 0 ; G. Kennett of New Romney 6£, 0 ; G. Davis of Battersea 6f, 0 ; E. Green of Canterbury 9, 0 ; Asliford Stag 7, 0. When all the men had been fairly started the excitement was intense, and Lang was vociferously cheered. As he passed his competitors one by one the astonishment of the countrymen was plainly visible. The first mile was run by Lang in 4min 45sec, the second in 9min 5osec, third in 15min 3sec, fourth in 20min 12sec, fifth in 25min 36sec, sixth in 30min 50sec, eighth in 41min 12see, ninth in 46min 50sec, and the whole distance in 52inin 58sec. Notwithstanding this fine time, old Andrews won by 150 yards from Lang, who was well away from the Fulham Novice ( Brown), Jones of Islington being fourth.— The company de- parted from the ground after their treat in the most orderly man- ner, and one and all expressed their satisfaction at the sport afforded them. HAREW00D ARMS, LEEDS, AND NEIGHBQURH00 MONDAY, MAY 25.— KNUR AND SPELL.— There was a good attendance at the Cardigan Arms, Leeds, to- day, to witness a match at knur and spell between the renowned Joseph Coward of Baildon and Hiram Yeadon of Yeadon. This match excited more than usual interest from the antecedents of both men, which was further enhanced by Coward giving a score for each pound he was heavier than Yeadon. The match was for £ 25 a side, 30 rises each; Coward being 181b the heavier he had to allow 18 scores. This number of scores being given caused a large amount of speculation to take place, Yeadon being the favourite at one time at 2 to 1. During the game the odds varied considerably, sometimes one being the favourite, sometimes the other. There was the usual amount of betting on each of the five scores. The following is each man's score, which shows Coward won the match of Birmingham 250, Smith 250, Jones of Hackney 260. Furness 210, who had likewise to run, did not come to the scratch. On the pistol being fired the men dashed off in admirable style, and after a well- contested race came in thus:— Smith the winner by five yards, Jones second. DEVON AND CORNWALL WRESTLING.— The doings of the wrestling ring commenced with the play between the " standards" made on Monday, when after some excellent sport had been af- forded in the double and treble play, the particulars of which cannot from the want of space be given, Fred Gould, Snell, Menear, and L. Harper having disposed of all their competitors, were, as the four best men, left in to wrestle for the prizes. The conditions were, as usual, the best' two falls out © f three, and, after a fine exhibition of skill, Menear was the winner of the first prize, Gould receiving second, Harper third, and Snell fourth. POLE LEAPING.— This was contested by Martin and Baines, and by nine scores:— Coward. Totals. Yeadon.

Barry Du Barry and Co, 77, Regent- street, London; 26, Place YtiLiloztie. i Paris; and 12, Rue d S'Eaipereur, Brussels. were paid over to the respective winners the same evening by the proprietors, and thus concluded the Whitsuntide festivities here. W. Myers of Newmarket will walk J. Miles for the Ten Mile Belt and £ 25 a side. To walk in four weeks from the first de- posit. W. Myers will be at Mr Garratt's, Garratt- lane, on Tues- day next, June 2, to make the match. KELLETT AND JESSOP.— MrE. Senior of Heaton has now re- ceived £ 16 a side for the match at knur and spell between H. Kellett of Hunslet and H. Jessop of Gawthorne, for £ 15 a side, which is fixed to be played on Saturday, June 6, at the Cardigan Arms, Leeds. RABBIT COURSING.— FLORA AND BRANNAN.— Mr J. Woolfoot has received articles and £ 2 10s a side, which he is to forward to J. Holden of Manchester, who is appointed final stakeholder and referee, for a match to run the best of 21 courses at rabbits, for £ 25 a side, between Marshall's bitch Flora of Gildersome and Stead's dog Brannan. Neither dog to exceed 1511b, or forfeit the money down. Another deposit of £ 10 a side is to be made good on Monday, June 8. To run at St Thomas's Ground, Stanningly, on Monday, J une 22. TUESDAY, MAY 26.— FLORA AND ROSE.— There was again a good attendance at the Cardigan Arms enclosure to- day, to witness the rabbit coursing match between Marshall's bitch Flora of Gil- dersome and Hargreaves's bitch Rose of Gildersome, who ran the best of 21 courses, for £ 15 a side. There was a fair amount of betting on the event, Flora being the favourite at slight odds at the commencement. Flora got the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, twelfth, thirteenth, fifteenth, and seven- teenth; total 11. Rose got first, eighth, tenth, eleventh, four- teenth, and sixteenth. Mr Woolfoot was stakeholder and referee. LILL AND DICK.— The match to run the best of 21 courses at rabbits, between Sunderland's bitch Lill and Hemsley's dog Dick, for £ 1- 5 a side, is progressing, and will be run at the Cardigan Arms, Leeds, on Monday, June 8.

The great Whitsuntide festival of 1863 is now numbered among the records of the past; but, notwithstanding, the week which has just been brought to a close will long live in the memory of many of the citizens of Manchester. Favoured as they have been by weather of the most delightful description. Pleasure wielded the sceptre, and the stream of enjoyment continued to flow gaily on from beginning to end. This led to more than one stranger to that" town of smoke and chimneys" remarking that, however much the hard- working artisans might lack employment, in con- sequence of the fratricidal war now raging in the dis- United States, they were unable to discover amongst the people the ap- pearance of suffering from that gaunt poverty and dire distress of which they had previously read much and heard more. Still it is true that poverty not only prevails, but is keenly felt, by thou- sands in Manchester; and the last few days has merely furnished another illustration of the patience and end uranceof those afflicted — they endeavouring, for one week in the year, to forget the ordeal they are yet painfully undergoing. But, to change the subject:— We wrote in our last that horse- racing at Castle Irwell would, during three days in Whit- week, form the allurement, and, as usual, " attract thousands to that pretty locality to witness the performances of ' high- mettled steeds,' the citizens of Manchester yielding to none in their admiration of the sports of the Turf, attended though the} 7 are, at times, by many ' glorious uncer- tainties.'" This has been abundantly verified, and it is probable that the racing was witnessed by a larger number of persons than ever previously assembled upon the present course since its open- ing sixteen years ago. Among others elbowing their way in the enclosure we observed those connected with the senate, the baro- netcy, and the bench ; pedestrianism was reflected in the person of the mile champion ; the wrestling arena sent forth its repre- sentatives; whilst the canine species also had two, at least, of their well- known, ardent, local admirers present. In another column a more graphic pen has ably described the " Manchester turf carnival" of the present year, which, for a time, has thrown into the shade all other kinds of out- door amusement. Neither at the above pedestrian arena, therefore, nor at the other foot- racing ground in Salford, has a single contest taken place during the past week; but the following events are " looming in the future," to be decided when the recent performances in " Silk and Bcarlet' are partially forgotten, and sportsmen seek other sources of en- joyment.

H. the Prince of Orange proved him- self a good shot, having hit the whole of his birds, but was un- lucky with two, they having fallen dead just out of bounds.

[ LATEST EDITION.] THE TUKF. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S. THE DERBY SETTLING. Seldom, perhaps never, has there been so little room for com- ment on " the Settling'' as on the present occasion, for no one was " knocked out" or " missing," and by universal consent it was voted the very best and easiest Derby settling ever known. In proof of this we may state that in the course of the two days no less than £ 200,000 passed through the hands of Mr Charles Perry, • who had Mr Naylor's account— which was about a moiety of the sum just mentioned— and of the money due to Mr Naylor every shilling was received. This simple statement at all events goes far to show the utter absurdity of the twaddling abuse that cer- tain " learned scribes"— as Admiral Rous phrases it— are wont to indulge in about the " Derby time" as to the probity and morality of the Turf, the said " learned scribes" being about as ignorant of Turf matters as a donkey of old oats. As we stated last week, Macaroni was a much better horse for the Ring than Lord Clifden would have been, hence the shout with which the bookmakers greeted the hoisting of his number after the race; and as for the Oaks, we need hardly say that, as a rule, the Ring " skinned the lamb'' over it, a circumstance that made amends to the very few that stood to lose much over Macaroni. Despite the large amount of money that had changed hands in the City and elsewhere earlier in the day, hour after hour passed on Mon- day without bringing the first day's settlement to a close, and so absorbed were all in the accounts of the Derby week that no attempt whatever was made at further speculation until the Room was nearly empty, when a few enquiries and offers ensued relative to the Grand Prix de Paris. 7 to 4 was taken and offered about Lord Clifden, and 2 to 1 about La Toucques, while 4 to 1 was offered against Saccharometer, and 6 to 1 against The Ranger. The only other wager that came under our notice was 40 to 1 about Baron Rothschild's Calista colt for next year's Derby.

The only disagreeable incident attendant on " the transfer'' was tha one gentleman either dropped or paid away by mistake a £ 500 note, a notice of which was duly posted in the Room. Towards the close of the afternoon some rather spirited betting took place on the Grand Prix. At first the highest price obtainable about Lord Clifden was 2 to 1, whilst 7 to 2 was offered " bar one.'' Matters, however, soon altered, and La Toucques advanced to 5 to 2, and that price was thereon laid against Lord St Vincent's horse, the mare having " the call'' at last. 600 to 500 was laid on the two. Saccharoineter was in seme demand at 5 to 1, half a point less being afterwards taken, and a few investments were made on The Ranger at 8 to 1. The wagering, however, was mainly confined to the first- named three. For next year's Derby Blair Athol was in request at 20 to 1, a price that was afterwards wanted, and 2,000 to 120 was taken in the course of the afternoon. Scottish Chief was next best favourite to Mr I'Anson's well- bred colt at 20 to 1; 30 to 1 was booked about Gownsman, 40 to 1 several times about the Calista colt, 5,000 to 75 about Coast Guard, 10,000 to 150 about Langford, and 10,000 to 125 about Wild Rake. A few unimportant bets were made on the Manchester Union Cap, Cape Flyaway being the favourite at 4 to 1; Dictator and Borealis were backed at 6 to 1 each, and Trust at double that price. THURSDAY, MAY 28.— Although not altogether " blank," the business of this afternoon was exceedingly limited. The Grand Prix de Paris alone excited the attention of the stragglers who dropped in. Lord Clifden and the French mare were equal favourites, 5 to 2 being offered on the field, and offers to take 3 to 1 about either meeting with no response. 5 to 4 was laid once or twice on the pair against the field. 5 to 1 was wanted about " Sac,'' and 100 to 15 laid against The Ranger. Only one book was opened on the Ascot Stakes, the subjoined quotations being but to small amounts. For the Derby, Blair Athol was backed at 20 to 1, 18 to 1 being the highest offer at the close.

ASCOT HOTEL AND STABLES.— This establishment is now in full business, under the management of Mr Portridge, who a few years since was the obliging landlord of the Great Western Rail way Hotel at Reading. The hotel consists of a spacious coffee- room, parlours, bar, and offices, boys' dining hall, and thirty bed- rooms. The arrangements in the kitchen department seem to be perfect in their way, and reflect credit on Mr M'George, of Mary- lebone- street, who has furnished some highly- finished cooking apparatus. The stabling consists of stalls and boxes for 100 horses, with bedrooms over for 100 boys. Ventilation and cleanliness are ensured by simple means, and the present occupants of the hotel speak highly of its fitness for the purposes for which it was designed. Blanche of Lancaster has been put to the stud. Mr R. Sutton's Attaman, 4 yrs, died on the 24th inst. Marlborough Races, announced to have taken place on Friday last, are postponed. The returns of Tipperary and Elphiu Races unavoidably stand over until next week. Mr B. Land has sold Oliver Twist, the steeple chase horse, for 500 sovs, and he has gone to France. Mr F. Andrews's bay colt out of Clara ( half sister to Nancy) is called Trabb's Boy. David Ann, 5 yrs, was sold for a hack to H. Grimshaw, at Rad- cliffe, on Tuesday last. Overton, by Teddington out of lone, 5 yrs, was sold to Mr Dakin on Monday last, at TattersaU's, for 400gs. Hawick Races and diversions will take place on the 5th and 6th of J une. Hartlepool Races are fixed to take place on Monday and Tues- day, July 27 and 28. NEW MATCH.— Baron Rothschild's King of the Vale against Lord Glasgow's Rapid Rhone, 8st 101b each, A. F., 500, h ft. The following assumed names have been registered:— Mr Nu- gent, Mr Wm. Archer, and Mr W. E. Williams. The Principal, Blanche of Lancaster, Crater, Northern Light, and Nimrod are advertised for sale by private contract. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING.— The Beaufort Stakes close on the Tuesday after Ascot. Cape Flyaway, we are informed, ended his racing career at Manchester, and goes to Knowsley for stud purposes. Dictator was struck out of the Salford Cup at four p. m. on Thurs- day last. The Clown was scratched for the Nursery at Manchester at 3: 15 p. m. on Friday. We are requested to state that the Newton weights will be pub- lished to- morrow ( Monday), at Manchester. On Thursday last a handsome gold watch and appendages value 50 sovs, was presented by Mr W. Phillips to his trainer, Mr Joseph Peace, as a token of regard. A report of Southwell Races has reached us too late for insertion this week, the immense demand on our space having, in fact, crowded it out. The Liverpool Cup weights will be found in another column; the acceptances are to be declared on Saturday next, June 6, at twelve o'clock at noon. Charles Fox, while en route for Manchester on Tuesday last, was discovered at Thirsk to have cut himself se badly in the box as to necessitate his return forthwith to Middleham. Mr G. Mather's yearlings will be sold to- morrow ( Monday), at Hyde Park- corner; and the Middle Park yearlings, at Eltham, on the following Saturday. SALES OF BLOOD STOCK— The sale of the royal yearlings and Mr Greville's yearlings takes place this day ( Saturday), at Hamp- ton Court. COLOURS OF RIDERS.— Capt A. Cooper ( altered to), white with black spots, and black cap; Mr Nugent, black and cherry cap ; Mr Wm. Archer, Lemon, purple cap; Mr W. E. Williams, pink body, white sleeves, black cap. M'CALL'S RACING CHRONICLE.— The June part of this truly useful little work has just been issued, and cannot fail to be ac- ceptable to the racing public, containing, as it does, much valuable matter in small compass. STAMFORD RACES.— The following stakes close and name to Messrs Weatherby, or to Mr S. Merry, Leamington, the Tuesday after Ascot:— The Welland Stakes, the Welter Cup, the Burleigh Handicap, and Stamford Cup. CHELMSFORD RACES.— The Essex and Chelmsford Handicaps and Welter Cup close on Tuesday next, June 2. The new Stand and Enclosure are now complete, and we hope success will attend the efforts of Mr J. F. Clark to obtain good entries. Mr G. R. Glenie, of Connaught- terrace, Hyde Park, requests us to state that he was in no way associated with a person who at the recent Epsom Meeting had a betting list at the back of Bar- nard's Stand, and who, he states, unwarrantably assumed the name of Glenie, of Hyde Park. Harry Hall has just sent in his portrait of Emblem, with her trainer ( Weaver) and her jockey ( George Stevens), grouped toge- ther with the winner of the Liverpool Grand National. Lord Coventry has paid the most substantial compliment to the work by determining to have it engraved for private circulation amongst h'is friends. IPSWICH RACES.— The following stakes at this meeting close and name on Tuesday next, June 2, to Messrs Weatherby or the Clerk of the Course:— The Chauntry Stakes, for two year olds; the Welter Cup, the Nursery, and the Suffolk Handicap. The conditions of the latter race are now 20 sovs each, h ft, and 5 if de- clared, with 100 added, an alteration that is likely to produce a good entry, more especially as Mr Merry informs us that Admiral Rous has consented to make the handicap. Mr Arthur Yates has sold his celebrated steeple chase horse PI ay man to Mr Joseph Anderson, for a long figure. Mr Yates has* ridden him ever since the horse was two years old, and has never had but one fall, though riding him on all occasions straight as a pigeon would fly. We hear that Mr Anderson intends running him in France and ether foreign races during the year, and we hope he may be as lucky there with him as Mr Yates has been on this side the Channel ASCOT ANTICIPATIONS ASTI) THE GREAT RACE IN PARIS. The excellent settlement which followed the excellent meeting at Epsom speaks trumpet- tongued for the flourishing condition of racing in this country. And even at Manchester, where distress has been prevalent for so long a period, the return lists, as well as the published reports, indicate no abatement either in the nature of the sport or the attendance of the holiday folks. The Union Cup, although it did not command the large field we have seen run for it in Frantic's and other years, yet made a re" spectable show at the post, and our confidence in Dictator turning up the winner was confirmed in the most satisfactory manner. Neither were we mistaken in our estimate of Isoline's ability to carry off the Tradesmen's Cup, and from the manner in which she defeated Caller Ou, her owner, Mr Parr, must certainly have had good grounds for thinking well of her chance for the Oaks. It is some time since the puce and white jacket of Wantage has been seen in the front of a good field, and we should not be surprised to find that, in Isoline, Mr Parr had a mare likely to revive, for the present generation, the days of Clothworker and Weather- gage. As Mr I'Anson, according to report, reserved Blair Athol for Ascot, a portion of the interest created by the Two Year Old Stake was diminished ; nevertheless, a finer contest has rarely been witnessed, and nothing but the extra weight carried for her victory on the first day stopped Fisherman's Daughter, who has not lost any portion of her • prestige by her defeat, for Persuasion at Ches- ter showed us she could run a bit. As the third day's racing has not yet come to hand, our retrospective remarks need no pro- longation, and we will turn our attention from the past to the future. To hear a French race betted upon as freely at Tattersall's as in Paris, and to hear of the emigration movement of a large body of the London and provincial Ring to the Bois de Boulogne, is one of, the most extraordinary symptoms of the times, and speaks volumes for the change of feelings in the people of both nations, as well as of trie efficacy of racing in allaying per- sonal prejudices and political frenzies. To avenge Waterloo is no longer the dream of the Frenchman, for he would much sooner desire now to beat Lord Clifden or Saccharometer for the Grand Prix than concern himself about a descent upon perfidious Albion, to wipe out an assumed stain on the ho- nour of France. For this happy change of sentiments we are indebted to the enlightened policy of the Emperor of the French, who, long a resident in this country, is so fully cognisant of the feelings of Englishmen in respect to racing, that he conceived the establishment of an international race would be attended with the most satisfactory results. Nor is he likely to be mistaken in his estimate of the importance of the prize he has instituted, which is now the constant topic of discussion in every racing circle of the two countries. At any period Le Grand Prix would have been a most interesting race, but it is peculiarly so on this occasion, from the accident which occurred in © ur own Derby to Saccharometer, and which partially interfered with the chance of Ranger. Therefore we shall now be able to determine with tolerable accuracy the real form of Saccharometer, and whether if he had been undisturbed he could have beaten Lord Clifdeu. On this occasion no excuse can be made for Saccharometer, as he is said not to have been hurt in the least by his fall, to be in undeniable trim, and with Aldcroft on his back there is no chance of his losing from want of riding. Lord Clifden will also have recovered from his stiff- ness, and in Challoner's hands the most will be made of him. The Ranger having been so far behind Lord Clifden at Ep- som, we scarcely expect he will improve his position now. Of La ' Toucques we have nothing except that she ran very badly at York, and won the Derby and French Oaks in a canter. Under these circumstances, and being fresh, well, and trained on the spot, we fancy the two favourites, Lord Clifden and Saccharo- meter, will find her a very disagreeable neighbour at the finish. That Saccharometer will quite get home we have always had a strong doubt, and presuming Lord Clifden to go free and well, and none the worse for wear, we unhesitatingly believe his " quality" will enable him to defeat all comers, and sustain the prestige of our Turf on the other side of the Channel. The interval of time between the two royal meetings will be but very brief, and be the means of affording a favourable opportunity of contrasting their features, and ascertaining " whether they manage these things better in France.'' The extensive alterations and improvements that have been adopted in the Grand Stand by the active exertions and good taste of Col Seymour having been alluded to in another place, we need not delay our annual inspection of the racing, which is on the same liberal scale as last year, and gives the same opening as at Newmarket for every de- scription of horse, from the winner of the Derby down to the veriest plater in training. Last year the aspect of the Grand Stand conjured up melancholy reflections by the absence of the Sovereign, which was its ruling attraction. But although she will not be present on Thursday, her representatives will make amends, as far as possible, for her; and the debut of the Prince and Princess of Wales on the Heath at Ascot will be ever re- garded as a red letter day in the annals of the meeting, and in- crease its splendour and attractions in the eyes of the world. Eight races is the allowance for Tuesday, and a most liberal one it must be admitted to be. The Ascot Stakes has an average acceptance, Bedouin being the top, and Indolence the lowest weight, but neither of these take our fancy. Investment is too weak a horse for this course, as we saw in the Cup last year. Bellman won no less than eight times last year, over distances of ground, and his running with Caller Ou is alone sufficient for him to claim attention in such a moderate lot as are left in, and we are not disposed to be against him. Canary's temper has improved so much, and his staying powers also, that he may be said to have an outside chance. Knutsford ran well here last year, being only beaten a head by Raparee. However, the latter ran so badly afterwards, and Knuts- ford cut up so shamefully at Northampton, that we must ignore his chance. Gorse may run forward, but if The Knave was not good enough to start tor the Chester Cup he cannot have much chance no w. Captain Crow and Haddington were almost the same horse in Scotland last season, and making allowance for a corresponding improvement in the Captain as in Haddington, he must be a very probable successor to Raparee. Rubicon, even with his penalty, is the best in of all the acceptees, and between him, Lord Coventry's representative, and Captain Crow we shall leave the race. The Queen's Vase subscription rarely varies in point of num- bers, and taking the allowances and penalties into consideration, we must come to the conclusion that Hurricane or Adventurer will be about winning. The Queen's Stand Plate is always an interesting item in the list, and a favourite race with the Ring. Of the old- uns, the most formidable are Argonaut and Umpire; but we should not be surprised to find the Scottish Chief prove superior to all of them. A Sweepstakes of Fifty Sovs each may perhaps fall to the lot of Boadicea. The Prince of Wales Stakes has a list of names contributed ta it worthy of the prince after whom it has been designated, and it is almost a repetition of the Derby subscriptions. The starters will be made up of Vivid, Trojanus, Soapstone, Michael Scott, Amelia, Lord Clifden, Bonny Bell or Borealis, Hospodar or Jarnicoton, Blue Mantle, King of the Vale, Onesander, and Melrose. Of these, if Lord Clifden had not been sent to Paris, we should most certainly have recommended him ; but as both he and Hospodar will have had enough of it crossing the Channel, we shall fall back upon the next best in public form, viz, King of the Vale and Blue Mantle, who, we imagine, will sustain the brunt of the contest, our final vote being in favour of Blue Mantle. The Sixth Ascot Biennial will in all probability furnish us with a fresh lot of candidates from the Derby of last year. Of those that have been out the most conspicious are Baron Roths- child's fillies and Light; and of the trio Light, we imagine, will be found the best. On Wednesday the Royal Hunt Cup gives us the promise of one of those large fields for which Ascot is notorious. Of the seventy- seven nominations it will not create much surprise that Queen of Trumps should occupy the post of honour, and Nebula be held in the slightest estimation. To dissect the handicap is quite beside our purpose, and therefore we must fall to lot- pick- ing. Among those deserving of being kept in remembrance in this process are Wingrave, The Knave, Vivid, Tolurno, Polynesia, Flying Fish, Alchymist, and Bohemia. The Fernhill, for twos and threes, lias eleven nominations of both sexes, but the contest we submit will remain between Vivid and Midnight Mass, and, if we have any preference, it is for the latter. The Ascot Derby has twenty- three subscribers, and among the nominations are Queen Bertha and Blue Mantle. The former has a 51b penalty, which ought not to stop her, but if Blue Mantle escapes the Prince of Wales penalty we are of opinion he is good enough to beat her; under any circumstances, however, the race would appear to rest between them, and the issue will solve the question whether the mares are better than the horses this season. The Coronation Stakes will be certain to inspire a great deal of interest, for we shall discover Lady Augusta's real form, and whether her running in the Oaks was correct. As the distance is only a mile, she will be better accommodated than at Epsom, and she'must indeed have gone to pieces if she cannot beat those who will face her on this occasion. The Ascot Triennial, for two year olds, will be looked forward to with anxiety, for, according to report, it will introduce to us Blair Athol, the first favourite lor the Derby of 1864; and although he will be opposed by a great many colts and fillies, whose owners will be anxious to measure their strength with him, if he only runs up to his form at home, we have not the slightest apprehen- sion of the issue being found against him. Of the others, the only ones of whom good tidings have reached us are Light Finger, Boadicea, and Mr Cartwright's heavily engaged Isca ar. d Ely. The Three Year Old Biennial, over the Old Mile, follows next, when, from the value of the stake and the absence of penalties, the candidates will be very large. But over this length the claims of Saccharometer are too potent to be overlooked, and barring accidents we must record him as the probable winner. Thursday furnishes us with one of the brightest pageants of the English court, as all foreigners admit who have witnessed it. The Gold Cup subscription is much larger than we have had it for some time, and we trust the royal visitors will have a race afforded them worthy of their remembrance in after times. From what we saw last year Tim Whifiier has a decided claim to the premiership, but according to report he has not improved an ounce this year, and is not by any means as fit as when he carried everything before him at Goodwood and Doncaster. If this be the case, as Buckstone i3 not partial to a hill, and Lord Clifden is hardly adapted to the course, we fancy The Marquis will be dis- covered to be the most successful candidate. The New 8takes will have more light thrown upon it by the Triennials than we can attempt toglay before our readers ; and unless Sister to Queen of the Vale wins we admit we are at a loss to know what to recommend. Rumour, however, speaks well in the dark division of the merits of Ely, Hollyfox, Ap- penine, King John, and Lady Hawthorn filly. A Sweepstakes of 50 sovs, that stands next in rotation, we can- not do otherwise than set down to the credit of Summerside ; and in the St James's Palace Stakes Blue Mantle and King of the Vale will have a chance of fighting their battles o'er again. At present our feeling is in favour of the former, but circumstances might alter it. The Biennial, for twos and threes, is a rich stake, at which many proprietors will have a shy, both for a trial as well as in the hopes of winning. Run at the latter end of the week, it is impossible to say what may win, but Lord Clifden's chances can- not be reckoned second to that of any nomination, while The Scottish Chief may place himself at the head of the young school. On Friday the list has only one closed stake, a triennial, for three year olds, in which nearly all tbe same names occur that we have met with before, and upon which it would be injudicious to offer any opinion at the present time. That the French running may upset some of the above ideas cannot be denied, and if, therefore, we should be deceived in our calculations, we are certain the indulgence of our readers will not be refused us.

Reindeer, .,,, J, Kingsland ' Liston W. Saunders SILENCE AT THE POST- DEAR BELL: Allow me to venture to suggest that the starte should have instructions from the Stewards of racing meetings to enforce silence at the post. Even one or two of our best and oldest jockeys are too much given to " chaffing," which shows a bad example to their juniors, and tends to keep up that want of discipline at the post which we all regret, so often, to see in the present day.— Yours, & c, ' A LOVER OF RACING. CHESTER RACES. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : I have no doubt you will be glad to learn that the race committee met this morning, and adopted the following reso- lution with respect to Mr Topham, clerk of the course, viz :— At a meeting of the race committee of the city of Chester, held the 28th May, 1863, Thos. Dixon, Esq, in the chair, it was re- solved " That, inasmuch as Mr E. W. Topham has efficiently filled the office of clerk of the course for several years, and no sufficient cause had been alleged to call upon him for his re- signation, he be continued as heretofore in that office.'' At a meeting of the Grand Stand proprietors, held immediately after the above, Sir W. W. Wynn, Bart, M. P., in the chair, it was resolved " That the usual sum of money (£ 1,200) be granted for the races for 1864.''— Yours, & c, THOS. GRIFFITH. 51, Upper Northgate street, Chester, May 28, 1863. EPSOM RACES. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : As a regular frequenter of Epsom, might I ask why the judge's chair is so far removed from the Grand Stand enclosure— " the Ring"— that we never have the ghost of a chance of seeing the finish? The decision on the Derby has been so contrary to what we all believed at the moment that a feeling is arising to speak forjthe removal of the judge's chair to the front of the Grand Stand. I don't see any reason why it should not be so, after what I have examined on the other side of the question. Again, why not change the colour of the starting flags from red te white 1 Red is so extremely difficult to watch in comfort with the naked eye from the enclosure of the Stand, as it can hardly be seen against the background of a hedge or the grass. Now a white flag, with a light blue band about four or five inches from the bor- der, would just make the kind of colour wanted as the best to be easily seen. Perhaps the Jockey Club may entertain the proposal ? Yours, & c, MARTINGALE. THE INNER RING AT~ EPS0M, MR EDITOR : On behalf of certain members of the Victoria Club, noil- subscribers to Tattersall's, I appeal to you to assist us in obtaining a reversal of that regulation which excludes us from the " magic circle" at Epsom, and leaves us with no other re- source but to while away our time in the midst of the general public and the welching fraternity. The transactions of theV. C., where the members meet daily, instead of bi- weekly, as at the " Corner," are, as you know, on an extensive scale, and the prin- cipal bookmakers, besides many heavy bettors in the opposite sense, are there to be found. The M. V. C.' s are, moreover, sub- jected to an initiatory ordeal that affords, on the whole, an ample guarantee as to their standing and respectability. At the same time, as in my own case, it may not conform either to their habits or to the extent of their operations that they should be- come members of Tattercall's or of the Newmarket Rooms. For my part, though I could at any time get elected at either place, I should not visit them once in three months. There would be less complaint were the regulations strictly enforced, but I have seen many within the inner ring who have not the shadow of a right to be there, and, amongst others, thefamiliars of list- keepers, who could not raise a £ 5 note to save their lives. Excluded there- from, I may say to myself, Non sum qualis eram; in fact, a kind of racing " loafer,'' and an object of suspicion to those to whom I am personally unknown. The inconvenience from the business point of view is too apparent to require com- ment. The object of the new regulation is professedly to protect betting men from welchers, rowdeys, and ear- wiggers; but while, if strictly enforced, it will have that effect, it will, on the other hand, undoubtedly^ tend to drive the general public beyond the precincts of a legitimate market. The insertion of this letter may have some efleet in removing the grievance to which I have adverted.— Yours, & c, M. V. C. May 25. THE HARPENDEN RACES. MR EDITOR: Willyoukindly allow me to ask, through your sport- ing columns, a question, about the answer in which I am some- what concerned. I want to know how it occurred that my mare, Phcebe Mayflower, named by Mr Tells, and entered for the Scurry, did not run'! The lad Mullins, who was to have ridden her, was in the weighing room, waiting to be weighed, as soon as any of the other riders, but he was delayed and humbugged about, first with one plea and then another, until he was actually too late, and when eventually he did weigh, he succeeded in get- ting to the post about 200 yards behind the lot, who were then all well off on their journey. Entrance fee, and all requisite and legal demands were paid, and nothing stood in the way of the mare's starting in the tussle, and yet was she thrown out in this manner. The thing is so monstrously unprecedented in the his- tory and annals of racing, that I have thus written to you in order that the clerk of the scales may have the opportunity of answering my question. No reason was given, and I am anxious to have it. Some say it was because the race- horse duty was not paid, but that objection was not raised until the mare was too late to get to the post, and then only for the want of a better excuse. Moreover, that would have been glady paid had the jockey been weighed, and the demand made in proper time.— Yours, & c, R. WADLOW. HORSES STRUCK OUT OF THEIR ENGAGEMENTS.

MANCHESTER MEETING. Stewards : The Marquis of Anglesey, the Earl of Chesterfield, the Earl of Coventry, Sir H. de Trafford, Bart; Capt Hawkesley W. T. Copeland, Esq, M. P. ; and R. C. Naylor, Esq. Judge and Handicapper : Mr R. Johnson. Clerk of the Course: Mr J. Bake. Starter : Mr M'George. It is now some years since the Whit- week races at Manchester proved so complete a success as the just- concluded anniversary. ThaUhey have not always been so fortunate must be attributed to an unsettled fixture invariably bringing mischief, more or less, in its train, but happily divested of anything detrimental save hard ground in the present year of grace. The absence, too, of rain for four mortal days— we had almost said an entire week— somewhat bordered on the marvellous; for although appearances took a dampish turn on Thursday forenoon, the change only brought about a temporary dust- laying drizzle. Thus thousands in countless ways " made merry" without interruption, the old holiday week, the rail each day conveying immense living freights to some suburban retreat, while loaded omnibuses and over- crammed carts as fully represented the sport- fancying people. Processions, with bands and banners flying, marched forth in all directions, not the least imposing being one of 13,000 clean and well- clad youngsters, reflecting credit on the great mercantile city, ever foremost in relieving the destitute and tend- ing to the wants of the rising generation. The programme of races, with unusually numerous entries for each event, sufficiently attested the recognition of an old- established meeting, conducted on strictly honourable principles, as well as being most flattering to Mr Bake in his official capacity. In addition to minor amendments, the manage- ment now prohibited the erection of stages contiguous to the course, thus doing away with an ancient temper- trying nuisance; nor should mention be omitted of the new semi- circular asphalte flooring recently put down in front of the Stand, a perfect boon in unfavourable weather. As if in re- turn, a largely patronised Ring and Stand on Wednesday yielded an excess of one hundred pounds over prior receipts © n an open- ing day. The minor erections were as fully occupied, and pedes- trians in equal force, when soon after two o'clock the saddling bell rang for the Trial, a new weight for age race, which from some cause, though having nine entries, including Charles Fox, who met with an accident on his way here on Tuesday, only brought a couple to the post. The committee, however, allowed half the added money, intimating that in future they should return to the old handicap conditions. Twilight won easily, and next, giving away lumps of weight, pulled off the Chesterfield Handicap. In happy contrast to the miserable affair of last year, when first and second were disqualified and the race awarded to the third, eight now stripped for the Sapling Stakes, for which Syren came so highly recommended as to cast into the shade, in some quarters, the Chester form and pretensions of Fisherman's Daughter, who, it will be remembered, after being twice disappointed, landed the Rhoodee event by a head. She, however, was not entirely friendless to- day, and with the assistance of Aldcroft cut down the field with the liberal odds of 4 to 1 agst her. The Union Cup brought to the post just twice the number of runners that put in an appearance on the pre- vious occasion ; but another of those harrassing delays at starting, so frequent of late, destroyed a portion of the interest, as well as the chance of one or two engaged in the race. The Birthday filly, for instance, was out of the race when, after three quarters of an hour's waiting, the flag fell, having with others got badly off, though the backers of a warm but non- staying favourite in Cape Flyaway had nothing to complain oi on this score. It was run at a clipping pace from end to end, Dictator, who belongs to two Manchester gentlemen, winning in a canter, arid eliciting much cheering on the horse's return to the enclosure, though, as Trust carried the stable money, his owners won comparatively nothing in bets. Four of the jockeys were subsequently reported, and ordered to attend before Alderman Copeland and Mr E. Buckley, the stewards, on the fol- lowing day. Somehow, however, the investigation was not pro- ceeded with; and so what promised to be a " scene" between the starter and the boys, came to nothing. Bernice, apparently none the worse for her journey in the race last referred to, next won the Phillip Handicap, to which succeeded the Maiden Plate— quite as easy a thing for her stable com- panion Venison— thus bringing to a close a most satisfactory afternoon's sport, though half an hour behind the time fixed on the card. Nothing was done on the future during the afternoon, or yet in the town afterwards. Caller Ou and Isoline were in- quired after in connection with the " big" event of the morrow ; but as post betting seems to have become rather the rule here', little business was transacted during the evening or yet on Thurs- day morning at the Post Office Hotel, which well known resort, by the bye, has recently passed into the hands of John Thorpe, who has thoroughly renovated and improved the establishment with much taste, and at no trifling cost. The Cup day, as usual, attracted a monster gathering, and passed off in the most orderly way. Business was resumed with the Trafford Handicap, and Dictator at once installed the favourite with odds on him, but he failed to concede more than three stone to Ratcatcher, who lite- rally walked in, though gamely opposed to the distance by the heavy weight, the latter being afterwards struck out of the Sal- ford Cup at four o'clock. The Two Year Old Stakes, with seven runners, afforded a close and interesting race with the first three, of whom Persuasion, though coughing badly, contrived just to pull through, but notwithstanding lost her owner £ 60 on the race, as it seems he had not the smallest idea of her success. Another stride or two must, however, have reversed the result, seeing that she was fast shutting up, leaving Loafer and the now much- fancied Fisherman's Daughter in front directly after passing the chair, the hard ground telling tales to- daj' on the Ilsley mare. Next came the Tradesmen's Cap, with seven competitors, of whom Caller Ou and Mr Parr's filly shared the chief attention. How- ever, as will be gleaned in our report, Doefoot, going off at score, made the pace terrific, which unquestionably told at the finish against the Malton mare, who, while looking all over the winner, suddenly struck her colours when wanted fifty yards from home, and was defeated cleverly by the patiently- ridden Oaks filly, Isoline, at one time a length behind everything in the race. The Selling Stakes fell to the lot of Devotee, who has returned to his old stable by placing 76gs to the fund, after which Twilight, at a difference of 281b, beat Bernice for the City Handicap, the latter having the race in hand at the distance, but neglecting to make use of the weight was caught napping by the game daughter of Mountain Deer, and defeated in the last two strides by a neck. The Queen's Plate curiously terminated the second day's proceedings, and pro- duced a scene of excitement not easily to be forgotten. To accom- plish the stipulated distance, the course has to be thrice traversed, and the Stand four times passed. This had been done accordingly by the three runners showing for the race, of whom Caller Ou proved the winner, her number being put up and Mr Johnson about to quit the chair, when it suddenly came into the head of Johnny Osborne on Sweetcake that a fourth round was required. Under this impression he set his mare going again at her best speed, an example which was instantly followed by The Fawn, second, and by Aldcroft on the old mare, he having quickly tumbled to the conclusion that an old stager here like Osborne would best know the course. At it, therefore, the trio went once more, and Caller Ou catching Sweetcake in the bottom again came in first amidst tremendous uproar and cheering. That no accident occurred in the extra spin was truly surprising, inasmuch as the spectators, imagining the race over, had crowded into the straight, up which, however, a narrow channel opened, as if by magic ! directly the alarm was given, and thus the horses got home. For the Grand Prix de Paris Lord Clifden would have been backed'at any advance over 2 to 1, while 3 to 1 was obtain- able about La Toucques, and 4 to 1 taken and offered about Saccha- rometer; 100 to 15 was taken and offered about, The Ranger, and 100 to 7 was laid agst Hospodar. For the Leger 4 to 1 was offered on the field, and 8 to 1 bar Lord Clifden.

A clear lead was taken by Paddy O'Rourke immediately th° signal was given", followed after the first two hundred yards by Golden Drop, who, though left at the post, soon fetched up a good deal of lost ground. She was succeeded by the favourite and Jack's Alive, with Wynnstay whipping in to about midway in the bottom, where, on the retirement of Mr Copeland's filly, he improved his position to the straight, and with Twilight took his place in the wake of John Osborne's horse. The latter, however, was in trouble at the distance, and resigning half way up to the favourite, was de- feated in a canter by two lengths, Wynnstay finishing a length from the second; the others beaten off.

Prescrip- tion, quickest on her legs, showed in advance, followed in the order named by the favourite, Fisherman's Daughter, Cutaway, and the Calliope colt, clear of each other, as were Mantrap, Lady de Trafford, and Lady Elizabeth bringing up the rear, the latter being soon a long way last of everything. When fairly in the straight Cutaway, the Ilsley filly, and Mr Merry's colt took closer order, and came on almost in a line at the heels of the leading couple, of whom Prescription compounded near the distance, and the lead for a few strides was carried on by Syren, who in turn was overhauled by the full of running Daughter of Fisher- man, and beaten easily by two lengths; same between second and third: Lady de Trafford, who passed the stopping horses below the Stand, being fourth, Prescription fifth, Cutaway sixth, Man- trap next.

Three- quarters of an hour were lost in effecting a start, owing, it was reported, to the Birthday filly and Marmion, on the part of the steeds, and to certain riders who were to have been " car- peted" on the morrow; delay, as usual, only making matters worse in the end, for the start was anything but first- rate after. "' Jj Dictator and Comet, first off, were directly passed by the favor- ite, who cut out the work clearly in advance of the first- meli- tioned pair, their immediate attendants to the top turn, round which a majority of the field indulged in a widish berth, being Borealis, Misfortune, Oberon, Patrick, Trust, Bernice, and Fan- faron, the Birthday fillyT, last off, occupying the extreme rear. Approaching the T. Y. C. post Borealis became second, but soon resumed her former position at the heels of Comet and Dictator to about half a mile from home, when she rejoined in front and headed the favourite into the straight. In the ensuing fifty yards Cape Flyaway was disposed of, and Dictator next depriving the Malton filly of the lead at the distance, won easily by a length; Comet missing the " score'' for second by the same. Bernice finished fourth, half- a- dozen lengths off, succeeded by Misfor- tune, Fanfaron, the Birihday filly, and Trust pretty well to- gether, Cape Flyaway running out to the left of his horses being next, Oberon last.

She, however, was soon passed by Lady Louisa, who to the distance was succeeded by Gaiety, Mountain Buck, Lord Dun- dreary, and Bernice, when the latter ( apparently out of the race at the turn) reached and headed Lady Louisa, and won by a neck. Lord Dundreary was third, about five lengths off, Gaiety fourth, and Stella next, the two last being Key of the Gate and Cutler.

Strong running was made by Ferdinand to the half distance, when being pumped out he resigned to the favourite, last at the far side, but who came at the finish, and won cleverly by half a length ; the third beaten by the same. The Fawn a moderate fourth. THURSDAY.— The TRAFFORD HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 100 added; winners extra ; the second received 20 sovs out of the stakes; once round and a distance; 17 subs.

Ratcatcher took the lead after several failures, and to the straight was followed by Eastern Princess, when the favourite made his effort, and reached the leader's head at the distance; but the weight immediately told, and Ratcatcher won in a canter by three lengths; the third, a length off, having an advantage of a head over the fourth; Jack's Alive being tolerably forward for half a mile, but finishing last.

Sir Watkin got away in advance, followed at a clear interval each by' Loafer and the favourite, Persuasion heading the others. They ran in these positions until the latter, gradually creeping up, obtained the lead on the retirement of MrBuckley'scolt at the distance, whence loafer and Fisherman's Daughter went on side by side at her quarters, but neither quite got up, and Persuasion won a fine race by a head, the third beaten by the same: Greenland being fourth, three lengths off; Winslow last throughout, and " nowhere'' at the finish. The MANCHESTER TRADESMEN'S CUP of 150 sovs, in specie, added to a Handicap of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, anil 5 if declared ; win- ners extra, & c; the second received 30 sovs out of the stakes; two miles; 53 subs, 34 of whom declared.

Colonel Towneley's mare, making the pace a " cracker," soon obtained a commanding lead of Fanfaron, succeeded by Golden Pledge, Caledon, Brilliant, the favourite, and Iso- line. Streaming on in the order given, at least one hun- dred yards divided the flrst and last horses when a circuit of the course was completed, no other change being noticeable until nearirig the T. Y. C. post in the last round, when the leader's advantage somewhat diminished, Fanfaron still going on second, and Golden Pledge next, Caller Ou thence mending her position, and becoming fourth half way in the bottom. Between the latter point and the lower turn ( where Fanfaron dropped away), Isoline also began to draw forward, and joining the favourite and Golden Pledge at the straight, they ran nearly level at the heels of Doe- foot, who compounded a little below the distance, and Mr Beau- mont's colt showed in advance. In a few strides he, too, was in difficulties, leaving the issue with Isoline and the old mare, who half way up had a trifle the best of it, but stopped the instant she • was called upon at the enclosure, and Mr Parr's fllly won very cleverly by half a length, three lengths separating second and third; the others beaten off. The number of Knutsford, for whom Withington weighed, was put up lor the race, but it was re- moved twenty minutes prior to the starting time, with an expla- nation that no " sailing orders'' had been given. Net value of the stakes £ 500. The SELLING HANDICAP of 3 sovs each, with 40 added, for all ages; the winner to be sold for 40 sovs; once round and a dis- tance : 10 subs. Mr H. F.

Golden Drop made play with a smart lead to outside the distance, when she tired, and was headed by Bernice, the latter, however, while taking it easy, being " nailed" by the favourite, whose fine turn of speed cleverly landed her backers by a neck ; bad third. HER MAJESTY'S PLATE of lOOgs; three year olds 7st 81b, four 9st 7lb, five lOst 2ib, sixa nd aged lOst 41b ; three miles and a distance.

Osborne 3 Betting : 5 to 1 on Caller Ou. The Fawn, throwing her head in all directions, cut out the work alternately with Sweetcake for a mile, when Aldcroft indulged his mare, pulling double, with the lead, which she retained to the end, having only the three year old in attendance from the straight tbelast time, and won easily by a length. However, on the motion of John Osborne, who re- set his mare going in the sudden belief that they had not run the full distance, the trio made a fourth but unnecessary circuit of the course, with precisely the same result as far as concerned the winner. ( BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH) FRIDAY.— The WILTON ( Selling) STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for three year olds and upwards; one mile and a quarter; 6 subs. Mr J.

Ferdinand cut out the work, closely attended by Cutler, Lorette, Captain Knight, and Paddy O'Rourke to the distance, whence the latter and Cutler came out, Paddy O'Rourkeleadingtothe end and winning by alength; three lengths between second and third, and two lengths between third and fourth; Lorette was fifth, and Garibaldi and Lord Dundreary next. Stella's bit broke soon after starting, and she fell with Tom- linson, who was much shaken.

T wilight made play, but after going a quarter of a mile was knocked out of stride by Doefoot striking into and cutting her near hind fetlock badly. Kill or Cure then took up the running, followed past the Stand by Patrick, Doefoot, and Oberon, Twilight and Comet next, and isoline last; these positions they held" to the distance, where Doefoot took the lead on the inside, and was immediately joined on the left by Comet and Mr Parr's filly, but neither got up, and Doefoot won a good race by a neck; the same between second and third; a bad fourth.

The weather was fine, and long before the time of starting the throng on the way to the island reminded one more of the road to the Derby than one to a small country meeting. The course is on an island in the middle of the river, and although by no means a safe place to look at for a race course, is, when once reached, as good a little course as can be found at any small meeting. There is a complete bar to all bolters, as none of them fancy the water, and to- day the roguish Dick Bwiveller even dared not try on his old game;, but kept straight. The sporting was good in the extreme, every race being contested from end to end, and the finishes the nearest that could be Every credit is due to the committee, and with better stakes a meeting second to none of its class might be estab- lished. To the officials too much praise cannot be given. From the starter up to the stewards one feeling prevailed ; order in everything, punctuality, and, above all things, courtesy and civility to all present. Next year the stakes will be much increased. The BRAESJOF DERWENT HUNT CUP, added to a Sweepstakes of 2 sovs each, to go to the Hunt fund; 12st each; two miles. Mr A. Lawne ns St Andrew ( late Yellow Jack), aged Mr Miller 1 Mr Hadlow's Gay lass, aged Owner 2 Mr West's Mrs liarey, 6 yrs Mr Coxon 3 Betting: 5 to 4 agst St Andrew, and 2 to 1 agst Mrs Rarey. St Andrew made the running at a strong pace; a fine race from the distance was won by a head; a neck between the second and third. The BLAYDON PLATE of 2 sovs each, with 15 added; the second saved his stake; one mile and three quarters. Mr Wentworth's Giltnook, 4 yrs, Sst 71b Austin 1 Mr Hetherington's Dora, 5 yrs, 9st 41b Tayl' r 2 Mr Lister's The Rover, aged, 9st 111b Atkin 3 Mr Brown's Barbara Allen, 4 yrs, Sst 71b Norton 4 Mr Bearpark's Liberality, 4 yrs, 8st 101b Dunn 5 Betting: 2 to 1 on Liberality, and 3 to 1 each agst Dora and Giltnook. Dora made the running for half a mile, when The Rover rushed up and made the pace a cracker to the distance. Half way up Dora challenged, and at the same time Austin brought his mare up with a rush, and, getting her head first, won on the post by a head only; a neck between second and third and third and fourth, Dunn ceasing to ride at the finish. The HUNT PLATE of 15 sovs, 1 sov entrance, to go to the fund; gentlemen riders; two miles.

Gay lass made the running for half a inile, when it was taken up by Annabella, the Roverand St Andrew lying next, Giltnook and Dick bringing up the rear. At the Stella turn Gilt- nook and Dick improved their positions, the Rover at the same time drawing up. A slashing race was won by a length, half a length between second and third. Dick hung at the finish. The LADIES' PLATE of 1 sov each, with 7 added; selling allow- ances; the second saved his stake; heats, one mile and a quarter.

R&. DCLIFFE MEETING. Stewards: The Earl of Wilton, the Earl of Chesterfield, W. G. Craven, and E. Buckley, Esqrs. Judge and Handicapper: Mr J. Swindells, jun. Starter: Mr Elliott. Clerk of the Course: Mr P. Draycott. As long as funds seem never to have been wanting at Radcliffe, it was reasonable the money some day should be turned to account in improving one of the worst courses in the kingdom. And yet, from 1845, when the races were brought here from Heaton Park, no amendment whatever took place until four years ago an awfully slow affair was cut down to a couple of days. Eventually, however, a change in the management last autumn determined the present lessees, Messrs W. T. Parks, Draycott, Foy, Whittaker, and Grundy, to bring the meeting more in racing form by adding to the much- needed accommodation. To accomplish this it was determined to have anew Stand, and designs having been selected from those at Manchester and Derby, the building was com- menced in October last, embodying the convenience, as well as the pleasing light frontages of both, alike creditable to the archi- tect, Mr James Farrar, of Bury, and the superintendent- in- chief of the works, Mr Draycott, who, night and day, as it were, laboured at home and abroad to render successful the object in charge. A projecting balcony, 91ft long, with recess behind in bad weather, and colonnade beneath, affords sight of every yard of the running, with nicely arranged committee and retiring rooms on the second floor, while at the base a telegraph office, refresh- ment rooms, and a spacious apartment for weighing and the press, adjoin each other in felicitous order. To match, in front, a prettily- designed chair for the judge, and a telegraph board after the most approved model, occupy the best situations of an enlarged paddock and betting enclosure. The course, oval in shape, and double railed throughout, with newly- made ground from the commencement of the straight to the far side on the left, now measures one mile and seventy- six yards, with a breadth of sixty- six feet at the finish, and being well drained from the centre, will doubtless be found suitable for reviews and meetings of gentle- men of the trigger, so popular in these parts. The lower turn needs, perhaps, a little more rounding, and then the whole will be as near perfection as possible, though further improvement is con- templated in the formation of a straight three- quarter mile coarse, beginning in lands on the right, the property of Earl Wilton, the leading patron of the races, and whcse consent, no doubt, will be readily given. Time, however, must be allowed for this, seeing that £ 2,000 have been expended in the alterations and additions already effected, the first instalment to defray which in a fairly- attended ring and Stand on Monday and Tues- day last was no less encouraging than deserved to the enter- prising management, whose programme, it should be mentioned, if not over rich in prizes, was altogether divested of " black mail" exactions from the winners. Matters, however, in other re- spects, did not pass off quite so pleasantly. We allude to the racing, anent which very naughty things were said by those who went " marketting" only to anathematise their speculations— a result far from novel, but which might surely have been spared on this particular occasion, especially as in future we are to have two meetings per annum at Radcliffe. Happily the second day was unmarked by any such proceedings, the principal feature of the sport being the Grey de Wilton Stakes, attracting nine youngsters to the post, of whom a warm favourite in The Clown, though not carrying a shilling for his owner, turned out the easiest of winners. At the scale an objection was made to the va- lidity^ of the start, but as neither of the stewards were present it was not gone into, if indeed actually received, the ground of com- plaint being that the horses were despatched some distance fur- ther than the prescribed course. This we may state was arranged beforehand to avoid the turn immediately in front of the half mile post, and as the conditions specified " about half a mile," there was virtually no ground for protest at all. On the whole the starting was a new feather in the cap of William Elliott, while Mr Swindell's decisions afforded unanimous satisfaction. MONDAY, MAY 25.— The MAIDEN PLATE of 5 sovs each, with 25 added ; three year olds 7st, four 8st 41b, five 8st 91b, six and aged 8st 121b; fillies and geldings allowed 31b ; one mile and a quarter; 3 subs.

Williamson 3 Betting: 6 to 4 on Herdsman, and 2 to 1 agst Honest John, who made play, with Sweetcake in attendance, for three quarters of a mile, after which the favourite joined in front, and raced for the lead to the straight with Honest John, where the latter ran out and took with him Lord Wilton's gelding, whose stirrup- leather broke in making the turn. Sweetcake, thus let up next the rails, held a shade the best of it to the end, and won by a neck; half a length dividing second and third. The SELLING HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 25 added, the winner to be sold for 30 sovs ; once round and a distance; 5 subs. Mr T. Clift'sbrf Queen of Clubs, by King of Trumps, 3 yrs, 6st Sib Kenyon.

Jack's Alive went in front directly after starting, followed by Honest John and Lazy Boots for more than half a mile, when the latter dropped into the rear with Marmion, and neither was in the race afterwards. Honest John, too, cutting it, and running all over the course when round the last turn, left the issue with the favourite and Mr Barber's horse, who was once reached below the Stand, but eventually won a slashing race by a short head, a length between second and third, Marmion being fourth, nearly one hundred yards away. The STAND PLATE of 50 sovs, for all ages; winners extra; about three quarters of a mile. Mr Osborne's br f Flytrap, by The Flying Dutch- man, 4 yrs, 7st 61b Whiteley 1 Mr Whittaker's b m David Ann, 5 yrs, 7st 41b — E. Forster 2 Mr Ambery's bk f Black- eyed Susan, 3 yrs, 6st 31b. W. Briton 3 The betting opened at 11 to 8 on Flytrap, but closed at 5 to 4 on David Ann. The running was made by Flytrap for the first two hundred yards, and then carried on by David Ann to the distance, where the Ashgill mare came again, and won easily by a length. Black- eyed Susan beaten twice as far for second. The HEATON PARK HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 30 added; certain winners 71b extra ; one mile ; 7 subs. Mr R. Walker's b g Colonel Crockett, by Rifleman, 5 yrs, Sst Midgeley 1 Mr T.

The Captain came away with a clear lead, and held it to half- way up the straight, when Lomas's cap fell off, and he stopped his horse to recover it!

At the fourth attempt David Ann jumped off with a clear lead of Flytrap, a length or so from whom the favourite was tkird, in which order they ran to the half distance, when the top- weight collared the leader, headed her at the Stand, and won by half a length; Antipodes beaten a length for second; Black- eyed Susan, fractious and smashing a post at starting, a bad fourth. The ALL- AGED SELLING STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 25 added, for two year olds and upwards; six furlongs; 4 subs. Mr Whittaker's b m David Ann, by Vulcan, 5 yrs, 9st 51b ( 20 sovs) E. Forster 1 Mr T.

The lead was taken by Queen of Clubs, with Honest John at her quarters for about a quarter of a mile, when the former showed clearly in advance, the light- weight going on second, followed by the fa- vourite, who at the half- mile post was pulled into the rear with Colonei Crockett. Thus they proceeded to the straight, where the Queen was beaten, leaving Honest John in command to the dis- tance, where Fanfaron made his final effort, challenged the leader within the distance, but failed to get up, and was defeated, after a fine struggle, by a neck, a length separating second and third, and half a length the third and fourth; moderate fifth.

These positions were maintained to the straight, where the Cardinal was beaten, and his place taken by the Pretty Girl filly, but unable to live the pace with Mr Barber's colt, who came out at the distance, she was defeated in a canter by. three lengths ; Poetess, third, two lengths off, beat The Cardinal by the same, Good Advice being fifth, Greenland sixth, Sir W& tkin seventh, Wildinan eighth, a& si Hartford Hill last.

REDDITCH RACES. Stewards: H. F. Vernon, Esq, M. P.; the Hon G. Clive, M. P.; J. H. Whitehouse, Esq. The revival of this meeting, after the lapse of five years, took place on Monday last, in the presence of a very large as- semblage of holiday folk from Birmingham and the surrounding districts. The course, which was formed in a large field about a mile and a half from Redditch, was rough and hard, and the pro- moters of the sports, in order to have lots of racing upon a cheap scale, determined to have every event run off in heats. There was no speculation, and the racing was of a " flapping" description al- together, though it sufficed to please the spectators. But the ma- nagement at the scales, and the great delay in running the races off, caused great dissatisfaction, especially among owners of horses, and we trust in future there will be some better arrange- ments, and more punctuality. MONDAY, MAY 25.— The INNKEEPERS' STAKES of 2 sovs each, with 10 added; heats, one mile. Mr J. Phillips's Wellington ( late Roarer, aged, lOst 21b W.

Jesuista blundered in rounding the turn, and J. Brady came to grief. The HURDLE RACE and the HANDICAP for BEATEN HORSES did not fill. WYE RACES. Stewards : The Earl of Winchilsea, Viscount St Vincent, and Sir C. Honeywood, Bart. WEDNESDAY, MAY 27.— Few spots in Kent, or indeed in all England, can vie with the pleasant valley of Fans combe, where are annually held Wye Races, in picturesque beauty. The great popularity of the meeting, indeed, for many years, was solely to be ascribed to the facilities afforded for a gigantic picnic for the " million," the racing itself having been until very lately of a most " flapping" description, and quite a secondary consideration with the shoals of pleasure- seekers that always attend the diversions. A great change for the better has, however, lately been effected. A Stand and betting enclosure have been provided, heat racing— that prolific source of wrangling and rowdyism— abolished, while the es- tablishment of a two year old race, and improvements in the conditions of the other events, have imparted to the gathering altogether an appearance of legitimacy which " was not there before." The weather on Wednesday was delightful, and the at- tendance of holiday folks from Ramsgate, Margate, Deal, Dover, Canterbury, and the surrounding districts enormous. The special train from London was also largely patronised, while the number of racing men present was quite unprecedented, both layers and '' gentlemen" being in great force. This may be partly attributed to the improvement in the management of the meeting, and partly to the fact of there being no " other fish to fry" of importance else- where in the South. The sport was interesting, the majority of the favourites being defeated. The Wye Handicap only produced five runners, and Necromancer was made a great favourite, but Lord of Linne— a very useful- looking horse— won in a canter. The Two Year Old Stakes was carried off easily by The Beaver, a very smart colt. Three Selling Plates completed the list, Copia win- ning the last easily, but, unfortunately, failing to augment the fund. Amongst the " notables" present were Lord Aylesbury, Viscount St Vincent, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Hastings, Lord Win- chilsea, Sir Joseph Hawley, Mr W. Craven, Captain Peyton, Mr Drax, M. P., Mr George Payne, Captain Little, & c. The ar- rangements with regard to weighing, and other minor matters, are still open to great improvement, and it is to be hoped that the executive will take steps towards reform in these respects before the next anniversary. The WYE HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added, for three year olds and upwards; one mile and a half and 110 yards; 11 subs. Mr W. Bunce's Lord of Linne, by Heir of Linne, 4 vrs, 6st 81b Hibberd 1 Lord Uxbridge's General Hess, 6 yrs, 8st 121b is Rogers 2 Mr H. Rusten's Mermaid, 5 yrs, 6st 121b E.

Marsh's Consternation, 4 yrs, 7st States 5 Retting : 5 to 4 agst Necromancer, 6 to 4 agst General Hess, 4 to 1 agst Lord of Linne, and 6 to 1 agst Mermaid. The favourite made the running, with Mermaid, Lord of Linne, and General Hess following in the order named for nearly half a mile, when Lord of Linne rushed to the front, and General Hess took second place. His lordship very soon obtained a commanding lead, and in spite of the gallant effort of Sam Rogers on the General half way up the distance, Lord of Linne won very easily by a length ; half a length between the second and third, and four lengths between the third and fourth ; very bad fifth. The OLANTEIGH TOWER STAKES of 5 sovs each ( 2 ft to the fund), with 50 added, for two year olds; colts 8st 71b, fillies and geldings Sst 41b; winners extra; three quarters of a mile and 90 yards; 11 subs.

Mother Bunch made play, with Faith, Mulberry, and The Beaver well up in the order named. Below the distance the favourite— who ran out at the bottom turn— was drawing fast towards the front, and when sent out he won easily by a length; two lengths separated the second and third; Mother Bunch was a bad fourth, and Measure for Measure next. A SWEEPSTAKES of 4 sovs each, with 25 added by the South Eastern Railway Company, for all ages ; selling weight penal- ties and allowances ; one mile ; 8 subs.

Carew, Esqs. Handicappers : Messrs Weatherby, Old Burlington- street. FRIDAY, MAY 29.— This once celebrated Surrey meeting, which has now been revived by a few of the right sort of sports- men, not so much with the object of gain as for amusement, took place on Friday' last, and, under the circumstances, was largely attended. It would, however, have been far better patronised had the fixture been better known amongst Turfites. Barnard's stand was erected within an enclosure, and the pretty course was in good order, and well kept by the police. With good racing, and large fields of horses, speculation was brisk, and by the able assistance of such excellent stewards, both of whom were present, the meeting passed off most satisfactorily, and with every en- couragement for next year. The BOROUGH STAKES of 3 sovs each, with 25 added, for all ages, with selling weight allowances and penalties ; one mile and a half; 9 subs. Mr J.

Half a mile from the finish Spitfire Kitty deprived Hilly Grove of the lead, and Mermaid took second place. At the distance Escape filly, who had been lying off, now rushed by her horses and joined Spitfire Kitty, and half- way up the distance the former came away, and won very easily by two lengths, the same distance separating the second and third; Mermaid was a bad fourth.

Baiiverne was objected to for having gone the wrong side of a post, and Prior having admitted so doing, the stewards awarded the race to Consternation. The BEATEN HANDICAP did not fill. HAXBY ( YORK) RACES. Stewards : Capt Stainforth, G. Bell and J. Potter, Esqs. Judge: Mr Sotheran. Starter : Mr W. Heslop. TUESDAY, MAY 26.— An attempt to get up a half day's sport at the pleasant little village of Haxby, situate about four miles from York, proved highly successful, the fineness of the day- tempting a vast number to visit the scene of action, both by road and rail. The whole of the proceedings passed off most success- fully, and another year we have no doubt but a more extensive programme will be issued. The sport commenced with A SWEEPSTAKES of 5s each, with 5 sovs added ; three year olds 9st, four lOst 71b, five list 71b, six and aged 12st; thorough breds 71b extra; the second received 1 sov out of the stakes ; heats, three quarters of a mile; 11 subs. Mr Taylor's br c Ace of Clubs, 4 yrs ( 71b extra) .. P. King 1 1 Mr J. I'Anson's Little Pinkie, 3 yrs ( 71b extra). Mr J.

The lot got away in good order at the first attempt, Little Pinkie being the first toshow ; she had not proceeded far before she wasjoined by Ace of Clubs ; the pair then ran an interesting race home, Ace of Clubs winning by a couple of lengths ; nothing near the first two. An objecetion to the winner was overruled.— Second heat: 6 to 4 on Ace of Clubs, who, with Little Pinkie second, made the running and won by a length. A Race for Beaten Horses fell to the lot of Little Pinkie, and a Pony Race was won by Mr Cooper's Polly, and this terminated the sport. NEWTON- ON- OUSE RACES. Stewards: T. Groves, J. Hawkin,] and J. H. Burton, Esqs. Judge: Mr Cooke of Rawcliffe. Starter: Mr Marshall. WEDNESDAY, MAY 27.— A capacious field in the occupation of Mr H. Burton was kindly lent for the occasion, and here a course, confined within the field, was marked out by flags. The hardness of the land from the long drought, and the sharpness of several of the curves, however, made the running somewhat un- certain, but, though there were several " spills," there was, hap- pily, no injury done either to horse or man. The weather was fine, the attendance exceedingly large, and all appeared to heartily enjoy themselves, a fact no doubt attributable not only to the ex- cellent management of the stewards, but to the indefatigable exertions of Mr Cooke and Mr Marshall, who respectively filled the offices of judge and starter. The following is a list of the day's sports:— The NEWTON CUP of 10 guineas; three year olds 9st 71b, four lOst 41b, five lOst 121b, six and aged list 41b; thorough bred horses 101b extra; winners extra; heats, one mile and a quarter.

NORWICH.— ATTAR a very long interval, an effort is being made to get up a race meeting at Norwich. The last gathering of the kind took place, we believe, in 1848, when the 16th Lancers were quartered ir. the city; but beyond a steeple chase meeting m the spring of almost every y » ar, nothing in the racing way has since taken place in the neighbourhood. A few of the sporting gentle- men of the district are now endeavouring to correct this state of affairs, but nothing definite has yet been decided on. These is as excellent course ready at hand on Mousehold Efeath. ASCOT RACES.— Bace glasses in every variety of form and price, from 30s each, at Callaghan's, 28A, New Bcsad- street, W., corner of Conduit- street.— N. B.

VERSAILLES SAGES- ( FEOTSI OUR OWN COB& ESPONDENT.) SUNDAY, MAY 24.— In confining the races at Versailles to one day the authorities certainly took a step in the right direction, for now, instead of having two miserable days of toil and everything that is disagreeable on the plain of Satory, one capital day's sport at least has been made up, and this counteracts the several drawbacks of the vicinity. On Sunday last the weather was everything that could be desired, and it being Whit- Sunday, a larger attendance of holiday people than usual patronised the races. Several four- in- hands brought their fashionable loads also from Paris, and the road certainly seemed in greater requisition than the rail, which is not to be wondered at, for the drive from the metropolis to Versailles on a fine day is a very beautiful one, through the luxurious valley of the Beine, the road running past the Duke de Morny's paddocks of Viroflay, where a great assortment of young West Australians were seen gambolling in the full enjoyment of youth. A good deal of Derby settling generally takes place at Versailles, but this year, as Saturday was appointed to be the winding- up day, nearly all matters of this description were decided on the previous evening at the Grand Hotel; and we may here mention that the Derby accounts have generally speaking been settled very satisfactorily, there being only a very few that have even asked for time. There were about three absentees from the Rooms on Saturday, but it is not known exactly whether pecuniary reasons kept these gentlemen away, and no doubts are entertained as to their coming to the scratch eventually. The sport on Sunday commenced with a Selling Race, which Cassiopee won easily enough, and then five of the late Derby competitors came together for the Prix de la Societe, and odds were laid upon Dollar against the field for it, which proved to be a very correct calculation, for the second in the Derby, notwithstanding a 51b penalty, succeeded in winning cleverly; this performance shows the Derby running to be quite right, for Charles Martel's now running so close to Dollar may be easily accounted for by the sandy ground, in which Charles evidently revels, as he has in the big ride at Chantilly given all M Schickler's lot all sorts of beatings, which thus led the stable wrong in supposing him a better horse than he really is. La Toucques was engaged in this race, but with a 121b penalty, so Mr Montgomery very judiciously declined running her in the face of her more important engage- ment at Paris. The Prix de L'Empereur, for gentlemen riders, produced some heavy betting on Solferino, who was claimed after his race at Chantilly from the Duke de Morny by Mr Wilson, for a trifle over 6,000f. Volta, however, who was purchased on the previous evening by the Duke de Caderousse Gramont, for 300 Louis, upset this pot, thanks to the running that Capt Haworth made for him on Chamboran ; for although he did not succeed in taking the wind out of Solfe- rino, the pace certainly tired out his jockey, and Solferino being a very idle horse, took the opportunity to come in as leisurely as he liked. Eleven were brought together for the Handicap, and for the fourth time this season a top weight four year old carried it off, for both at Chantilly and Paris the handicaps have fallen to the lot of the old ones ; and considering that many of the three year olds have been allowed upwards of 301b by these, it speaks very badly for the majority of the young division that have been out in France this season, and in this race particularly the supe- riority of the four year olds was very palpable, for it was confined all the way to A la Res- cousse and Heurlys. PRIX DU CONSEIL GENERAL of 2,500f, given by the Conseil- General of the Seine- et- Oise and the Western Railway Company, for three year olds and upwards ; entrance 50f ; the second saved his stake ; weight for age ; the winner to be claimed for 4,000f; selling allowances, & c; two miles ; 5 subs.

Pamplemousse made the running, with the favourite next in attendance, followed by Cassiopee, and Tarlatane brought up the rear until they had reached the turn at the extreme end of the straight on the opposite side, where Chamboran, being in difficulties, was passed by Cassiopee, who then waited upon Pamplemousse to the distance, when she began to race him, and, getting all the best of it, won easily by about a length. Tarlatane was a very bad third, and Chamboran, who was not persevered with home, was a worse fourth. The winner was bought in, and Pamplemousse was sold immediately after the race to the Count de Pissey. PRIX DE LA BOCIETE of 5,000f, for three year olds ; entrance 200f; the second received 600f out of the stakes; 1081b each; the winner of the French Derby 121b extra, and the Poule d'Essai, Poule de Produits, Prix de l'Empereur, or Prix de Diane 51b extra; one mile two furlongs; 29 subs.

Aumont's b c Magny, by The Baron out of Yelva, 3 yrs, 1081b Pantal 0 Betting: At first 2 to 1 and then 6 to 4 on Dollar, and 5 to 1 agst Don Jon. Don Jon went off with the running at a good pace, with Charles Martel at first for his nearest attendant, but after the first hundred yards Magny went up and took second place, Martel then going on third, the favourite, patiently waited with, next, and Bilboquet brought up the rear, which order of running was maintained all down the straight on the far side to the third turn, where Magny was beaten, and at the barn Don J OH being in a similar plight, left the race entirely to Dollar and Charles Martel, the latter running the favourite rather close all the way up, though Kitchener had not to call much on his horse, and landed him the winner cleverly by nearly a length; four lengths separated Don J on from the first pair, and Magny was a very bad fourth. PRIX DE L'EMPEREUR ( a gentlemen riders' race) of 2,000f, for three year olds and upwards of all countries; entrance lOOf; the second to receive half the entries ; weight for age ; the winner to be sold for 6,000f; one mile two furlongs ; 4 subs.

Baron Finot 0 Betting : 6 to 4 and 2 to 1 agst Solferino, and 3 to 1 each agst Volta and Chamboran. Chamboran made the running at a very steady pace at first, but as soon as the first turn was rounded he improved it to a clipper, his nearest attendant then being Solfe- rino, with Volta close up to him, and Oberon came on in the rear. At the last turn Solferino's rider made a kind of an effort to over- haul Chamboran, but the horse seemed to understand thoroughly that the man at the helm was not in a condition to hurt him much, so he very quickly gave over trying, which left the race entirely to the auke's pair, and Capt Haworth giving up his place at the half distance, allowed Volta to win easily, Solferino finish- ing a bad third. The winner was not claimed. GRAND PRIX DE LA VILLE ( a Handicap) of l, 000f, for three year olds and upwards; entrance 300f, 120 ft, and 60 only if declared; the second to receive two thirds of the entries; one mile two furlongs ; 22 subs, 9 of whom declared forfeit.

After one false start the lot got off tolerably well together, Boute- feu and A la Res- cousse being the first to show in front, followed by Heurlys, Sen Altesse Royal, Muse, Telegraphe, Good- by, and Goliath in the order named, the rear being brought up by Bochet and Rigolo. At the first turn Boute- feu fell back, and Heurlys at the same time went up and took the lead, having an advantage of about two lengths over A la Res- cousse, and be- tween these too now the race was almost reduced to a match, for all down the straight on the far side they gradually drew away from the others, and to the last turn the favourite looked all over the winner; but he here compounded a little, and A la Res- cousse, who was very patiently ridden by Mortimer, obtained a slight advantage at the distance, and increasing it all the way up, won at last rather cleverly by a length; Goliath, who attempted to join the leading pair at the last turn, finished two lengths from the favourite, and Telegraphe was a tolerable fourth, Good- by fifth, Son Altesse Royal sixth, Gentilhomme seventh, and the last of all was Bochet.

The Colonel led, followed by Gisors, Hazard, Jasmin, Chino, and Anjou in the order named, and all took the river without any mistake, Gisors heading The Colonel at the garden, and in running up to the Irish bank the favourite crossed his legs and fell, throwing his jockey and get- ting loose. A few fences further on Anjou and Chino refused, which left the race to Hazard, Gisors, and Jasmin; and at the Irish bank for the second round Hazard's chance was put out by going the wrong side of a flag, Gisors also being out of the race by obstinately refusing the river when they came to it again, so that Jasmin was left to canter in alone, Chino being the only one of the others that completed the course. Value of stake, 6,22of. The winner has been hunted all through last winter with Mons Desvigne's hounds at Chantilly.

( FROM OUB OWN CORRESPONDENT.) Nexu Sunday the meeting at Paris will certainly rar- V amongst the most important that have yet been inscribed on the blue books of French racing, for on that day all countries are invited toassist together in a . sport that does not merely rank as a fashiscable amusement for the rich and favoured portion of mankind, tout as a national pasting in every country that belongs within the bar- riers of civilisation. Whether the day's sport will be quite eqaai to the expectations t.^ afc have been formed of it, however, is ss matter we can hardly ,' 3eeide, but we are sure that no trouble OF expense has been spared on the part of the authorities to insure a. certain success, and we tliSik that the interest that has been naturally attached to the Grand PrJae, has been spread far and wide, for returning from Versailles Saees last Sunday we heard from a re- liable source that the Paris1 hotel keepers had for the last three weeks been quite inundated'' with letters- containing orders for beds and acccmmodation for the week, and that these bore post marks from all parts of Europe, but more especially from Eng- land. This report may be a little exaggerated, for we think that with regard to a great many English the racs falls at sather an in- convenient time, and a week latertnight have been perhaps better chosen. Another year, however, matters of this kiad will be better arranged, and we hear that' for future anniversaries the programme for the week will comprise racing at Loagehamp, steeple chasing at Vincennes, and a dog show at the Jardin d Ac- climation, and decidedly this latter attraction^ which same off during the early part of the rnontli, ought to- have been pat forward to next week, though to those sportsman who have an inclination to see the French canine species of all descriptions in comparison with our own we should recommend a visit to a canine castle, situated at No. 46, Avenue de Porte- Maillot, of - which an Englishman is the proprietor, and we know that it is a first- class establishment of the kind. The sport next Bunday will commence with the Prix d'Arme- nonville, a selling race of 2,000f, for which the following only- are engaged:— Oberon, 5 yrs | Bonne Enfant, 3 yrs | Le Fou, 3 yrs And this trio are very bad in quality, though Oberon is the best, if a very queer leg that he has will stand the hard ground. The Prix du Conseil General will then probably stand upom the card, and this is worth 4,000f, for three year olds and up • wards of all countries, and for it the following are engaged :— Benjamin, 4 yrs I Chamboran, 4 yrs I Sarcelle, 8 yrs Solferino, 4 yrs I Lord of Linne, 4 yrs Dame Blanche, 3 yrs Grande Puissance, 4yrs I Leonldas, 3 yrs | Princet, 3 yrs Egmont, 4 yrs Chorous, 3 yrs I Allow Me, 3 yrs Loyal, 4 yrs | Aventuriere, 3 yrs | Semiramis, 3 yrs This lot includes two of the English division ( Lord of Linne and Allow Me), and as we hear that they have both gone to the Con- federacy's stable at La Morlaye, we suppose they will run in their interest. In their absence, however, we should select their Semi- ramis from the young ones, although we prefer the chances of the four year olds ; and of these Grande Puissance and Loyal have shown the best form, the short distance ( lm 2fur) being in favour- of the latter. The third race will be the Prix de Pavilions of 6,0G0f, for French three year olds and upwards, over two miles and a half, for which the following are engaged :— Alerte, 4 yrs Don Juan, 4 yrs Jean Sans Peur, 3 yra Demon, 3 yrs Falendre, 4 yrs Don Jon, 3 yrs Flibustier, 3 yrs A la Res- cousse, 4 yrs Frontignan, 3' yrs Victot Pontfol, 3 yrs Fortunio, 4 yrs Alerte will have to carry some penalties, but by her recent performances she can afford to do that with the four year olds, at least ; and as there is no three year old of any great quality engaged, we shall expect to see Alerte the winner, if the Confederacy bring her out for it. The Grand Prix will be on the card next to be decided, and although, when the event was first talked of, it was considered certain that it would furnish between twenty and thirty starters, we apprehend from the forfeit list we have already seen, that the number we shall see at the post will fall far short of the above calculation, for we cannot make out a list of more than ten or eleven, and we think these will comprise the PROBABLE STARTERS. Lord Clifden Challoner. La Toucques J. Doyle. Baccharometer ... Aldcroft. Demon Flatman. The Ranger Goater. The Orphan .... Reeves. Damier Spreoty. Grande Dame W. Carter. Hospodar C. Pratt. Mons Nardonie ... Rook. It is needless to go into a long review as to the chances of these competitors, as during the last fortnight all have been brought conspicuously before the public; suffice to say that we feel very sure the race will lie between the three English colts, and La Toucques, and we expect to see the real contest at last confined to- Lord Clifden and the French Derby winner, our preference being slightly for the filly, as we know that she can go a great pace, and can stayr, and, above all, that she is perfectly well, whereas with regard to Lord Clifden, we think he meets her at great disad- vantages, when it is taken into consideration what must have been taken out of him by his having very recently run two very severe races. The betting during the past week has been slightly in favour of Mr Montgomery's filly, though her backers will not take less than 5 to 2, a price that cannot be quite obtained. Yet the layers will go on at 5 to 2 agst Lord Clifden, but the one that has been the best supported is The Ranger, about whom tele- graphic messages have been constantly going between Paris and London since last Sunday. The day's sport will terminate with a good handicap, which will be worth nearly 10,000f, and for it 2S> are entered; but as the forfeits are not yet declared, one cannot give a very decided opinion as to the result, excepting to say that Cantonnade, Beau Soleil, and Fortunio, appear to us the best in of the following:— age lb age lb Good- by ... 5.. 125 Benjamin 4.. 114 Choisy le Roi .. 4.. 120 Fortunio 4.. 112 Heurlys ( includ- Mazeppa 4.. 112 ing61bextra).. 4.. 120 Dollar( inc61bex) 3., 112 Jonathas 6.. 119 BeauSoleil 5.. 106 Telegraphe 4.. 118 Vaucresson .... 3.. 98 Provocateur .... 4.. 116 Magny 3.. 98 Audacieuse .... 5.. 115 Frontignan .... 3.. 96 Panique 5.. 115 Scamandre 3.. 95 LordofLinne .. 4.. 114 Carine( dead) .. 3.. 95 On Monday a very good day's sport may be expected at Vin- cennes, a very valuable Gentlemen Riders' Steeple Chase being comprised in the programme amongst its other attractions, and no doubt many of our English sportsmen will try their horse- manship in this event, but we trust there will be no impediments thrown in their way with regard to qualifications, & c, to prevent which we should suggest to the authorities that members of any well- known club in England should be allowed to ride without being balloted for.

Tramore OVERWEIGHTS IN STEEPLE CHASES- MR EDITOR : " T. S. H." wishes for an answer to his question respecting steeple chase laws—" If a horse's weight is lOst, the jockey weighs out lOst 51b, ought his weight to be returned lOst lib or lOst 51b ?'' I will ask " T. S, H." a question in return. " D0 you, ' T. S. H.,' suppose that when the original rule on this sub- ject was made, it was made for the sole benefit of the clerk of the scales ? Was it not rather made to enlighten the public on a horse's merits, and to prevent a public trial being obtained with- out the knowledge of handicappers ?" Therefore it is that " T. S. H.' s" horse would be returned as having carried lOst 51b. A slight alteration in the wording of Rule Nil. will satisfy " T. S. H.," and the revised rule will be published as soon as ne- cessary. I cannot too much impress upon stewards of country meetings the necessity of announcing their intention whether of running under the Market Harboro' rules or not. It would save them much trouble to adopt those rules, as we trust that by de- grees we shall succeed in making them perfect. But it must be remembered that the rules of racing are not yet considered per- fect, and alterations are made in them at every meeting of the Jockey Club.— Yours, & c, V/. G. C. London, May 29. STRATFORD- ON- AVON STEEPLE CHASES. MR EDITOR : The stewards have authorised me, through Capt Hamilton, to inform you their decision upon the late Farmers* Steeple Chase, run for at the above meeting. After investigating the case, they have decided that the race was null and void;; there- fore, in consequence, all bets upon the same are off, excepting those first past the post, and in that case Jenny Jones was. the winner. If you will kindly insert this it will save the above* gentlemen a deal of unnecessary trouble.— Yours, & c, JAS. MIL WARD,. JUN. Shakspeare Hotel, Btratford- upon- Avon, May 28. THE CHASE.

HUNT CHANGES.— Wm, Bmith, whose ancestors in a direct li ne during the unprecedented number of five generations have b « ; en huntsmen to the Brocklesby Hounds, has been replaced by h ord Yarborough to the post which his family have held with so EQ uch fame; and Phillip Tocoek, who hunted the hounds last seaso: n is TROTTING. The match bet wean Mr Gold's bay mare and Mr Cru jkett's black mare, two miles ( in harness), for £ 10 a side, came off on Wednesday, May 2.7, starting from the sixth to the fourtf i mile- stone on the Stratford- road, Birmingham. Mr W. Tyler off iciated as referee. The average betting was 5 and 6 to 4 on the b,' jy. At the signal a good start was effected, both going away t. jgether. At the quarter of a mile the bay broke, and during the turning the black mare gained a good distance, but the bay rega , ined her lost ground, and at the mile was leading by fulftweii ty yards, and gradually gained upon the black, finishing the match a winner by about a hundred yards. Time: Bay, fi » iin SOsec; black, 6min 40sac. In answer to Mr Hughes's challenge for Jack Ro « jiler to trot the pony Jerry five miles, it is stated that the pony' ^ distance is two miles ; but he can be matched against Jack 2 ossiter three miles in harness, on a fair- turnpike road, for £ 50 a ; ide, and give Rossiter choice of road, within 20 miles of London. The pony will not go on the turf, or he should go at Pondert End. If this will suit Mr Hughes there is £ 5 at our office far him to cover, and he can make the match at Mr Beisice's, Fox a; id Hounds, any eveniiig next week. WHIST— THIRTEEN TRUST PS.

A novel feature in the show was the offer of three prizes by Samuel Gurney, M. P., for the three best donkeyy, and the display of " Jerusalem ponies" afforded much amusement, Mr G, Snelling cf Croydon taking the head prize. r 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, MAY 24, 1863. THE INTERNATIONAL DOG SHOW AT THE AGRICULTURAL HALL, ISLINGTON, tillon is stronger made, possessing more racing qualities, and has capital staying abilities; round the thigh she measures 15| inches; chest, 28± inches; loin, 19| inches; height, 25 § inches. Mr Mercer's Pride of Kent, by Paramount out of Pretty Polly, also The finger- post in the old farce that went on a swivel, and always pointed to five miles from everywhere, should certainly have been secured as one of the properties of the now Agricultural Hall. It is, indeed, a terribly long way off! rfhe Handsomest of cabmen lose their confidence as they blindly essay at the new- cut, and coachmen, whose very characters depend upon their « ' knowing town well,'' fairly pull up in the wilds of Pentonville to humbly ask of a contemplative policeman when and where they are to turn for the dog show? Still, an amazing deal of enterprise has been expended in the laudable endeavour to make the place familiar and attractive. Blondin has all but broken his neck here, Sims Beeves has sung here, and a very select party has danced here, always, be it understood, to the genteelest of tunes. Then at Christmas, of course, beeves bellow and pigs grunt, • whilst the harmonious discord of a dog show was the very first trial to the sensitive nerves of the immediate vicinity. Fortunately, that hapless opening would appear already to be forgotten, and the Yorkshire cheesemonger and his delinquencies delivered over to a perhaps too lenient limbo. This, the second exhibition of the kind in the new Hall, undoubtedly suffers little or nothing from the original projector's wholesale defalcations, as the very coy dealers and fancy mongers muster stronger than ever, and the show is, as a. whole, far away the largest ever yet held. Not that, as a consequence, it is alto- gether the best; as, in fact, if possible, it would have been very desirable to have weeded out at least a third of the entries, al- though it is not easy to see how sucha distinction could be arrived at. Of the two, the second, or non- sporting division of the show, was clearly the superior, the pointers resting more on their numbers than their merits, and the entry of hounds only tending the more to confirm our impression that this sort of thing will never tell much in town. With all due respect for the few Masters who give their support to the occasion, it will be seen that the Duke of Beaufort's and Lord Pitzhardinge's were the only really " crack" kennels represented here, and that these did not go very heartily into competition, Badminton bringing but a couple before the judges, and Berkeley only a single hound. The blue Duke, however, permitted Clarke to make up another, lot which were again occupying a large cage of their own, and once more the chief attraction of the exhibition. No hounds, indeed, show better than the Badminton ; very sorty and match- able, with grand, dignified foxhound heads, and especially well marked and coloured, they tell even beyond, the range of the learned few who can appreciate their great bone, their straight legs, their fine symmetry, and long pedigrees. The " pack of hounds," as they were called, commanded additional interest when it came to be known that five of the twelve couples had just returned from the wolf- hunting expedition in Prance. These were Trimbush, Finder, Vengeance, Hector, Woodbine, Waspish, Wellington, Ptarmigan, Furbelow, and Fury, none of whom looked any the worse for their travels, or the serious business they had been engaged in. The other seven couples consisted of Harbinger, Brutus, Hesperus, Magic, Woldsman, Yenus, Lash- wood, Cautious, Forester, Guardsman, Bashful, Homily, Flagrant, and Fervent. Of these Captain Percy Williams pronounced Guards- man as clever a hound as ever he had seen, while our old acquaint- ance Woldsman and many others were quite equal to backing him for good looks or hign character. Still these hounds did not come officially before the judges, who therefore did not give in any return as to their meed of merit, but Tom Clark, as their huntsman, deservedly receives some recognition from the man- agement of the ability with which he has discharged his trust, and the form in which he brought his hounds before the sight- seeing world. The other, or proper classes of foxhounds, were announced to be judged in public, a promise that ended in a most unmitigated bit of burlesque. This public judging took place in a small confined pen, where Messrs Williams, Thompson, and Fletcher stood right over the hounds under an inspection, and where they went through an after rehearsal, that possibly a dozen or so of people could witness in comfort. Such an absurdity to any one who has ever watched a Yorkshire hound show, and who did not try to see this, is scarcely imaginable, while the mistake was the more evident as there was plenty of space to spare. The Hags should properly have been laid in the back compartment of the Hall, where poultry wereon view at a shilling a head extra, which, so far as we could gather, nobody cared to pay. This paying twice over is another mistake that in any respectably- conducted enter- tainment had better be avoided. Luckily the judges had evidently had a look through before they faced a British audience, and the concluding farce had far better have been omitted. However, young Ayris and Nimrod Long stood to them, and in the course of the afternoon the following Masters or ex- managers, amongst others, tried to get a glimpse of what their fellows were about:— Lord Fitzhardinge, Lord Doneraile, Lord Macclesfield, Lord Portsmouth, Sir Watkin Wynn, Sir Yelters Cornewall, Mr Barnett, Mr Hall of the Holderness, Mr Cox of the Craven, and Mr Vyner. The stud hound class led off' with three only putting in an appearance, the Cotswold Royal being soon drafted out, and the race reduced to a match between old Cromwell and the Cam- bridgeshire Gambler. Both came with good reputations as work- ing hounds, and Cromwell, by the Bentinck Contest, has been used to some of the Badminton bitches, with Clark to speak to some capital litters of his get. Of a bad grey pie, Cromwell is not a showy hound, and as he was rather overdone in condition, his really fine points and great substance came to look a little coarse against the more stylish Gambler, although the award ultimately went in his favour. Mr Colmore's brood bitch was commendable for her good back and great bone, and the unentered Vocal is a smart, airy, growing bitch, full of promise, at only ten months old. The duke's best dog puppy in the same class was terribly out of form, though with all the makings of a clever hound about him, and the Beaufort blood told again in the prize three couple, two couple of which were drafts from the duke— Helen, Handmaid, Itiot, and Famous. The entries in this, the " great" class, only ran to three, the Cambridgeshire furnishing half a dozen very creditable hounds, and Captain Moranfc sending the other three couple. It had been industriously put about that this was the first occasion on which three couple had ever been shown toge- ther, but Capt Williams for one would not forget Lord Wemyss' three couple at Guisborough, or the other three couple that Ben Morgan brought out against them. We have no inclination to tarnish the Cotswold laurels, but the contrast between these two classes, as severally supported in Yorkshire and London, was forced upon one, the more especially after the claim put forward for Islington of originating such an offer. But for a clever three couple we drop down to the harriers, where Mr Pace's beautiful bitches furnished one of the features of the meeting. For good looks, indeed, there was nothing near them, and one or two couple might have been taken as very pictures— nicely marked, finely framed, with sweet sensible heads, and that cheerful, lively look a harrier should have, their kennel was continually sur- rounded by connoisseurs. Their pre- eminent success was the more remarkable, as their owner has barely over twelve couple to choose from, but all very sizeable, with nothing under eighteen or over nineteen inches. Mr. Race now and then puts them on to a deer, and if they have a fault, it is that they tell rather too much of the dwarf foxhound. The Prince of Wales' lot naturally commanded much attention, and not undeservedly, for they are of a nice size, and well matched, but with roughish dullish coats, and decidedly lacking the elegance of the Biggles- wade winners. The Brookside were disqualified as over the standard, their height running from twenty- one to two- and- twenty inches— rather too much fora harrier, as one would think, although we do hear that in their open country a hare will often live for two hours before them, notwithstanding their dashing determined looks, which in competition must have been good enough to place them second. Mr Clerk* sent some clever hounds from Yorkshire, and Mr Godman another nice lot from God- aiming ; but Mr Collyer's were a coarse, loose, ragged sample, and Mr Flower, hitherto so famous on the prize list, could make no stand against Mr Race and the Prince, even with old Abelard amongst them, a hound that has often caught the Speaker's eye erenow. The fe w beagles were utterly beneath notice, and the curiosity of this section was Mr Neviil's entry of four couple of staghounds of the old New Forest breed, and whose performances have so often been said or sung in our columns. There is some- thing very genuine and old English in their character, but to the eye of the modern houndsman their dark coats and grave looks have a dismal, undertakerish air, an impression which we should imagine might bo increased by the solemn tones in which they would proclaim that " this day a stag must die." However, they led one on very naturally to the bloodhounds, where in the champion class old Druid of course was still the champion, and Rufus, the first prize dog at Cremorne, a worthy second to him. Both these are so well known, and have so often been described in our columns, that it would be idle to go over the same ground Still age is telling on Mr Jennings's grand hound, who coiled himself up and seldom gave the public much opportunity of examining his fine proportions and massive outline. Of the two open lots the bitches were far preferable, distinguished as the ladies were by the presence of those " twin sisters of the chase," Countess and Welcome, while the ruder sex numbered amongst them some very dubious specimens of the bloodhound proper, and two or three clearly " out of sorts" when placed where they were. As usual, there were very few otterhounds, only two couple in all, but the deer- hounds made up two capital companion sets of dogs and bitches, Lord Stamford being fairly beaten in the former by a very elegant symmetrical hound, of great quality, from Windsor Park; with Alder, the Birmingham and Cremorne best deerhound, here without any distinction, a result we had always expected in good company. With the bitches, again Lord Stamford could get no nearer than second and third, and those who can carry the appear- ance of Brenda and Vengeance in their mind's eye, will be able to estimate how becomingly this beautiful picturesque auimal was represented at the monster dog show. The foreign hounds were simply curiosities that, so far as this country is concerned, might just as well be kept in glass cases. The greyhounds were unusually strong, containing as they did upwards of one hundred competitors, and many of thein fine specimens of the breed and crack performers when out of the couples. The champion dogs, however, reached to but half a doaen, and the judges could have but little difficulty in awarding the first prize to Sea Foam, by Beacon out of Scotland Yet, one of the handsomest greyhounds of his day. Notwithstanding that greyhounds are not seen to the most advantage at this period, and that being chained in a crowd causes them to fret, Sea Foam was still a picture of elegance. Although from the worry and con- finement he may lose something in substance, the following was his measurement on Tuesday:— Girth of thigh, 16 inches; girth of chest, 29 inches; loin, 21f inches; and height, 26 inches. As a public performer few greyhounds surpass him; and during the last season he won the Members' Cup at the Altcar Club Meeting, while in the Great Waterloo Cup he was beaten in his fourth course by Rebe; his next appearance was at the County Louth Champion Meeting, where in running over a stony field he so severely cut himself that Mr Spinks at once put him to the stud. The companion champion class for bitches had also just six more representatives, including Gipsy Queen, Sea Pink, Buff Rose, Mis- chief, Penelope, and Patty. Gipsy Queen, the winner of the first prize, is a perfect model ofja greyhound, by Twixt out of Thanks — Twixt by Swan's Stock well- out of Temple's Temeraire— Thanks ( the property of the late Judge Temple, of Chester), by Wigan out of Mr Randell's Remembrance. Siie is a beautiful dark red, with black muzzle, and possesses an extraordinary development of muscle along the back and Joins; has capital feet, with well- proportioned thighs, which girth 16 inches; girth of chest, 27j inches; loin, 19| inches; height, 24f inches; and weighs 52| lb; she ran in public but one season, and in the late Waterloo Cup was beaten by Duchess, when dead amiss, in her second course. Sea Pink, justly and highly commended by the judges, is a very handsome bitch, an own sister to Sea Foam, by Beacon out of Scotland Yet; she has a well- proportioned shoulder, with finely- developed muscular thighs, but of the two is more fleshy, and. does not possess the wear and tear qualities of her more fortunate competitor, Gipsy Queen. Sea Pink measures in girth of thigh 16J inches; chest, 28| inches; loin, 21 inches; height, 25 inches. In this same class is Patty, the winner of the Ladies' Plate at the Amesbury ( Wiltshire) Champion Meeting, and Penelope, winner of the Oaks at Ashdown Park; they are both very small, the former weighing but 401b, and the later 471b. Buff Rose, by Effort oat of Prize Flower, is a clever little animal, but rather deficient in pace, being short in the body, otherwise she is beauti- fully proportioned. The judges have made a very proper selection ia the Open Class, the first prize going to Great Eastern, an own irother to Gipsy Queen, a noble dog, with a bloodlike head and saeck, and displaying superior racing qualities. He measures jound thettiigh 17inches; chest, 29inches; loin, 20 § inches; height, 27 inches, and weighs in running condition 671b. Carara, to • whom the second prize was awarded, is not so good looking an animal, there being several better in this class. He measures round the thigh inches; chest, 28f inches; loin, 20| inches; and height 26J inches. Rowden must have been overlooked, as he has in reality a strong claim to second honours, and is a perfectly- shaped greyhound, showing great power and endurance, and measuring round the thigh 16j inches; chest, 32 § inches; loin, 22 inchesj height, 25f inches; while his weight is upwards of 701b. Moreover, he has proved his appearance, as during his career he was a great winner. Hermit, who took the third prize at the Cremoifne show, also gained a similar distinction here. He is a son of Bedlamite out of Fan, a strong, powerfully- shaped dog, and by some might be considered a little coarse: he measures in girth of thigh 17 inches; chest, 32 inches; loin, 21f inches; height, 28 inches; and weighs ( running weight) oolb. Mr Mercer's Polyphemus andMr Bradsliaw's Brigand reeaived commendation, but Mr Lewis's fawn dog The Brewer, Mr Braith- waite's Revolving Light, winner of the first prize at Cremorne, and Sir George Gore's Rienzi were equally laudable. There were so less than thirty bitches in the Open Class, Mr Purser's fawn bitch, PaimLeaf by Effort out of Pri « eflow er, being awaded the first priae, alfehrtllffls f* nH-£ i llQH aAliaf rn i- Ka in fl- in T? n » i! nf n>< aiT/> n' « awarded a prize, is handsome, but small. Mr E. Rees exhibits a very creditable daughter of David out of Lady Clara; she is very truly formed, measuring thigh, 15| inches; chest, 28 inches; loin, although quite her equal might bo seen in the Earl of Craven's black ticked bitch Cotillon, by 8elby out of Mazourka. Palm Leaf possesses a beautiful deep chest, but runs off veiy light in the loin, while the following is her measurement:— Girth of thigh, 15} inches; cheat, 28 inchee; I# is, 18 tushes; height 26 inches. 0e= 19 inches; height, 25J inches, and" weight 551b. We know not the opinion of Messrs Rendalland Wentworth respecting the Bride of Lammermoor, by Canaradzo out of Young Camarine, but she was by many considered faultless, though, oil close ex- amination, a little high in the shoulder. However, she was awarded the Prize Cup by Messrs Nightingale and Gregson, as being the most symmetrically made and best- looking greyhound at the Coquetdale meeting, where ninety- three dogs were engaged, and is altogether a magnificent bitch, weighing 651b. Many of the saplings were very promising, the first prize being awarded to a brace of well- grown dogs, by The Brewer out of Haidee, ex- hibited and bred by Mr R. Hatchett, of Bedfont. Mr Gardner won the second, with two powerfully- madeyoungsters by Railroad out of Rowden's dam. Lord Stradbroke also exhibits a black ticked bitch, very neat and handsome, by Seagull out of Mock Turtle; and an extraordinary fine sapling is shown from the same kennel as the prize greyhounds Gipsy Queen and Great Eastern. This is by a son of Twixt out of Thanks, and is a dark red, with black muzzle, measuring round the thigh 18 inches ; chest, 33 ; height, 29£ inches ; length from tip of nose to butt of stern 44 inches; and weighs 861b; he is a remarkably showy dog, but has one great fault, being unusually straight on the hind- leg. Lieut- Col Goodlake, Capt Hanley, Messrs E. Reese, J. S. Bland, J. Leighton, and J. Allison also exhibit some highly bred sap- lings, aud, notwithstanding that many of the principal coursers of the kingdom did not send representatives of their kennels, this is no question the finest show of longtails ever found at an exhibi- tion of this kind, an occasion, however, when the beauties of the gazehound are seen to little advantage as compared with him when straining in the slips or racing up to his hare. So far as the catalogue may be trusted there were somewhere about two hundred and twenty pointers entered, very few of which were not in their places. In charity to his competitors a champion class was established for old Ranger, who looked none the worse for his trip to Paris, where, after some debate, the international congress once more contirved to agree as to his unequalled merit. The other champions were, however, of very ordinary calibre, and it was difficult to understand how some of them ever got into such select society. Neither was the open class of large dogs, running up to nearly sixty, by any means so remark- able for general excellence as for mere numbers, and we have cer- tainly seen the breed better represented. The first prize, how- ever, Lord Brownlow's Ben, is a very clever, active dog, with plenty of power, without lumber, and full of quality. So far as we had a chanoe of seeing his many competitors up or out, we can go very heartily with the award, although the judges picked out some smartish dogs for other places; with Mr Comberbach's Don no higher than a commendation, and exhibitors like Lord Lich- field, Lord Derby, Mr Swan, and the Rev Noel Hill, with no official notice whatever, although the big old- fashioned brace from the Bennington Kennel were in continual levee with the general body of sightseers. Mr Newton was again in force amongst the large bitches, with a daughter of Ranger, Sir St George Gore running second with at best but a plainish bitch, and Lord Litch- field getting once more some credit for his clever, well- bred Nell, thouifh her own sister Moll, " much of a muchness,'' never caught the judges' eye, worthy though she was of some distinction in another mixed company. The large pointers, in a word, much needed weeding out, and it would have been a better show of them with at least a third of the entry drafted. It might, perhaps, be possible for the judges to have a preliminary in- spection for this purpose on the day previous to the opening ; but it so the management must be a deal quicker in getting out their amended lists and catalogues than they proved themselves during the past week. The small- size champion pointer was Mr Gibbon Bayiey's Dash, a well- known winner, but over whose actual merits there is and has been a deal of controversy. For mere show he is certainly pretty enough, but we should be inclined to question his value in the field, or even in the stud. There were only four others entered against him ; while the open small dog class reached handy on to thirty nominations, Mr Fuller Maitland's first prize dog being shown in bad condition, but with great power for his size, and a g ® od sensible ex- pressive countenance, that told much in his favour. The second dog, Shot, was also very pretty, and Mr Poole's Pilot, as handsome as anything, but that he had lost an fnch or two of his stern, which quite upset his otherwise stylish appearance. He was consequently passed over, and Lord Lichfield, Mr Gibbon Bayley, Mr Newton, Mr Joseph Lang, Sir St George Gore, and Lord Derby, were also in the cool shade, with an utter absence of commendations, that was rather re- markable. The very clever daughter of Bird's Bob was the best bitch, but the old lady herself, Lang's Fan, was pronounced out of date, and the second honours went to another common, plain- headed bitch of Sir St George Gore's, with very little personal warrantry for her place. Mr Charles Ward's neat Cremorne bitch was another winner without rank here ; and it struck us that the authorities took altogether a new reading. Any other " bench " would no doubt have made some alterations, should a second hearing have been granted, as with such a run of these exhi- bitions, may not be altogether impossible hereafter. The puppy and sapling classes were pretty generally declared to be a mistaken notion, both by those in and out of office, and the judges' recommendation as to the abolition of such premiums will of course be acted upon. They only serve to swell up a show already beyond all reasonable or enjoyable dimensions. The Staleybridge setter Bob has been winning all the world over, but that great point in any animal, his head, is by no means perfect, as he has a bad ear and eye, and the best dog in the open class fairly beat him for the shape and expression of his frontispiece ; Pero is, indeed, a very handsome dog at all points, with his capital loin and good coat as more especially com- mendable. Mr Hornby's second is a light, clever dog, but not so much like a workman ; while the best English setter bitch is long and low, with a deal of use about her, but with a small, rather mean head, that detracts considerably from her otherwise taking appearance. The best black and tan of " a very good class"— Mr Ellery's Argyle— was, as might be expected, originally from Mr Pearce's kennel, and a good dog he is, but the second was not so much to our liking. Mr Pearce himself put that rare dog Kent, which he picked up at Cremorne from Sir Edward Hoare, into the Champion Class, where, as we have stated, he was beaten by the Staleybridge Bob, a certain legginess telling against him; but " the Reverend" righted again with Regent and Ruby in his own more especial sphere amongst the black and tan bitches, the two having just previously been first and second at Cremorne. Another " very good class,'' the Irish setter dogs, was not, however, adjusted so much, after pre- vious precedent, and at the Ashburnham Hall Exhibition we thus expressed ourselves:—" After all, as we have often had to remark, the handsomest show dogs are the Irish setters, and they figured here as far away the one best class in the kail. And so they ought to be, when the judges could afford to pass over so good a dog as Mr Birtwhistle's Tim, with his sweet expressive head, fine coat, rare constitution, and stylish appearance. At Bir- mingham, only last Christmas, he beat Mr Watts' good dog, another old favourite of ours, but of the two we prefer the former award, and scarcely understand how Tim came to be altogether left out of it here." The correctness of this opinion was signally confirmed at the Agricultural Hall, where Tim was placed first in what the judges officially returned as a very good class, with a magnificently shaped dog of Captain Hutchinson's as his second— deep, true, and powerful— and the Brompton champion, although looking better than ever, merging into the general compliment paid to this small but capital entry — again about " the one best class in the hall." There were close upon a hundred and fifty retrievers, and considerably over a hundred in the dog class, to the merits of which we can only speak generally in echo of the judges' opinion as to " a wonder- fully good class.'' Still Mr Hill of Nottingham was strong enough to get another first for dogs with his Jet, and a second for bitches with Mam, the dogs having trained on from two seconds in 1862 to two firsts in 1863; though in appearance he still scarcely realises all his pride of place. Mr Riley, however, sent neither of his prize retrievers, Royal and Bess, though their names stood in the en try, as they have only j ust returned from Paris, where they stood first and second. The Clumber spaniels, again, were never so good, and Lord Spencer's two prize dogs really wonder- ful animals for depth, power, and sagacious looks. The Duke of Newcastle sent a team of five from Clumber, but they were not noticed by the judges; while the official prize list gives his grace a second for bitches, though this is scarcely to be trusted; and in the spaniels of other breeds there is the same conflicting diversity between the premiums as placarded in the hall and returned on the list Our own return, it must be understood, is a very differ- ent affair from that issued by the direction, but even for this, what with the many errors in the catalogue and others in their prize list, we cannot be altogether answerable, as the confusion in places was almost inexplicable. It is only right to say that an apology was published as a postscript to the catalogue, and to this effect:—" In consequence of the person en- gaged as superintendent of the show being suddenly unable to do his duty while the catalogue was preparing, some errors have oc- curred, which will be corrected in a second edition.— S. SIDNEY, Secretary." " The person" here so curiously referred to was, as we hoar, Mr Brailsford, who from serious indisposition was com- pelled to return home, a fact that should surely have been stated a little more clearly than this mysterious notification would go to imply. The absence of so experienced a manager was much to be regretted, as up to mid- day on Tuesday not half the prize pla- cards were visible, and the prize list itself was not out until Wed- nesday morning, so that under such circumstances " doing the show'' was a business of considerable difficulty. At Birmingham, as well as at Cremorne, everything was ship- shape at the latest on the morning after tile judges had given in their awards, and with a little more practice the Agricultural Directory must be as prompt in supplying their first- class customers with what is really neces- sary information. We are in fact already led to hope for as much, as by next year we are promised that " improvements, the result of experience, will be introduced in the classification of the dogs and the distribution of prizes, as well as in the preliminary arrangements.'' Still this is not the first attempt of the kind even in the Agricultural Hall, where, as we are assured, the scene on Saturday was terrible. Dogs of all descriptions were in a melancholy medley, the stages covered with sawdust at least four inches, and the coats of the retrievers awd other roughs filled with this agreeable material, turning them to almost any colour you chose, from a good black to that indefinite hue a " dandy grey russet.'' In the second division were placed the " dogs not used in field sports,'' the number of entries being, according to the list, 874. In the class for sheep dogs, Scotch breeds, Rover and Carrnich were quite equal to either of the animals that secured the award. There was only one bitch shown, a fine young animal, but the judges withheld the prize, why it is difficult to imagine. The English sheep dogs had eight entries, the prize being given pro- bably on account of the age of the winner, for certainly Laddie and Sheepy were better dogs. There were of mastiffs, dogs and bitches, 37 entries, and the award of the three first prizes was fully justified. Lion is a splendid dog, and we think must have es- caped the judge's notice, or he at least would have received a com- mendation. This as a class was remarkably good. The foreign mastiff's or watch dogs of any kind formed the next class, and there were 16 entries, but the dog that gained the second prize was certainly entitled to the first place. The best qualities of such animals are rather to be found in their usefulness than their appearance as judged by a dealer. In the Mount St Bernard breed, dogs or bitches, we take direct issue with the judges' award. Monk, shown by the Rev Mr Bates, and which gained the first prize at the Ashburnham Show, was certainly the best dog in the class. We admit, however, that this was moderate. There were 63 Newfoundlands, and, as in our notice of the Ash- burnham Show, so probably in this critique we shall raise the ire of some of our readers, who, possessing it may be a large animal, part mastiff, part Newfoundland, part setter, have enter- tained a notion that they possess a pure bred dog. As after the Ashburnham Show we were requested by some of our correspondents to give our judgment upon the points which distinguish the pure breed, we here beg leave to do so. The large Newfoundland dogs vary in size, some- times reaching as much as 32 inches high. The loins are by no means compact, but long, and very flexible. The head is small, in comparison to the size of the dog, but wide across the eyes. The eye and ear are both small, the ear being without much hair. The tail long, slightly curled, and very woolly; the legs very strong and not feathered, feet large and flat, coat on the body long, woolly, and matted. The smaller breed differs in having a larger head proportionately to its size, the ear slightly fuller, the neck longer, the body far more com- pact, coat shorter, and glossy, and without any woolly texture. The tail is less woolly, but similar in shape. We may say that a curly coat is the most certain proof of non- purity of breeding. Recurring to the awards, and taking the dogs in order as num- bered in the catalogue, Como deserves mention, and next to that one Romeo was commendable for his singularly fine head. Tono has splendid legs, but his head is ugly and thick. Neptune is a far better sort; both, however, being beaten by the best dog in the class, Pilot. Lion has undoubtedly a great deal of pure breeding about him, while Tiger somehow seems to have escaped the notice of the judges. We repeat, with submission, the opinion we expressed on a former occasion with regard to dogs entered as Newfoundlands. If it is to be understood that the word is to be applied as a generic term to any dogs partly bred, then it should be so specified in the regulations. But the real breed is very scarce, and indeed we doubt there being anything approaching one at the show. The bulldogs over 201b reached to 24 entriees, the first prize going properly enough to King Dick, who, by the way, achieved the same distinction at Cremorne, but Macdonald's Wasp, only highly commended, should have taken second honours. With the exception of these two the class is certainly inferior to the lot shown at Chelsea, both in numbers and quality. Amongst the small bulls Harry Orme with Violet, a perfect beauty, took the first prize, and, as we should say, without a second glance, except of admiration ! The bull terriers over 101b weight secured 75 entries, the judges swarding five prizes, and singularly enough, after the prizes they commerced two, and then, as it would appear, expressed a less appreciation of five others which they " highly commended." We rather accept this apparent dictum in the way it is given, which would reverse the order of prizes, and merit be thereby better appreciated. Over the bull terriers under 101b the judges could not have made much mistake. Some of the specimens, however, were very coarse animals, while for white smooth haired terriers, Fred White of Clapham takes all three prizes, which is not perhaps remarkable, as he is the only known extensive breeder of this particular animal. There were 53 black and tan terriers over 71b. The black and tan terriers under 71b, with 43 entries, may be considered as having been properly judged, and where so many are about upon a par, exception to the ruling of the Powers that be would rather betoken captiousness than fair criticism. The other English terriers numbered 41, but we cannot help saying that the judges made a remarkable blunder in giving the second prize where they did. It would seem, however, in this as, indeed, in other classes, that it is a pure matter of opinion, and that good points with one set of breeders subside into nothingness in the opinion of another set. A signal omission was there being no class for fox terriers, which were lost in some other lots, and their varmint looks and uses too often shunted for pretty playthings. The Bkyes drew 78 entries, many of the dogs being exceedingly fine specimens. The judges allotted five prizes among them, and highly commended as many more, and they awarded the distinctions with undoubted fairness, although many winners of prizes at previous shows did not come under ap- proval on this occasion. For Dandie Dinmonts, in which there are 16 entries, the judges have not awarded any first prize, con- sidering the class inferior, an opinion in which we coincide. Of those, however, that were entered, Dandie and Mustard have the best points. Of other Scotch terriers, of which there are 62 en- tries, six have prizes, four being highly commended, and four commended, thus indicating more than average excellence; and Sandy, that has already taken the first prize at sixprevious shows, was obliged to be content with second honours. The Italian grey- hounds, as a class, have received the largest amount of appreciative observation, there being 12 entries, amongst which are divided three prizes and sundry commendations. Over the King Charles spaniels, dogs or bitches, with 37 entries, considerable difference of opinion exists as to the propriety of the awards, but it seems to be a mere question amongst the dealers, each of CLUMBER SPANIELS . DOGS.— First prize, £ 5 ; Earl Spencer, Harleston Park, North- ampton ( Bustler). Second, £ 3 ; Earl Spencer ( Sam). BITCHES.— First prize, £ 5 ; W. Cook, jun, Orton, Kettering ( Di). Second, £ 3; Duke of Newcastle, Clumber Park, Notts ( Busy). SPANIELS OF OTHER BREEDS USED FOR SPORTING PURPOSES. DOGS.— First prize, £ 5 ; F. H. Edwards, Camden- road Villas ( Rover). Second, £ 3; C. Read, Bedford ( Sailor). BITCHES.— First prize, £ 5 ; T. N. Beasley, Brampton, North- ampton ( Romp). Second, £ 5 ; J. Jobling, Howard Castle, Mor- peth ( Daisy). The other judges for sporting dogs beyond those specially given, as for foxhounds, harriers, and greyhounds, were the Earl of Suffolk, Lord Bury, Mr George Moore, Colonel Powell Leslie, Mr Richard Ker, and Mr Richard Marshall. The Steward of the first division, Mr Abraham Cawston. whom respectively consider, as is perhaps natural or rather pro- fessional, that their " own geese are swans." The Blenheim spaniels were in but little force, but the English toy terriers under five pounds, had 38 entries, and the judges considered the lot so good that they gave five prizes, and allotted them satisfac- torily. The residue of the dogs were put in extra classes, and included British or foreign lap dogs under 51b, such as Cuban, Lima, and so on with 33 entries, but amongst them was more than one Scotch terrier and others that clearly had no business there. There were seven prizes given amongst them, but we would suggest that in future the owners should describe the breed, and on any misrepresentation forfeit all claim to a prize. For the best monster dog of any kind not included in the preceding classes, with 13 entries, Mr N. A. Woods took the first prize with Samson, a magnificent lion mastiff from Algiers, and as Mr Buckland's Aslam also competed, the triumph of the winner was rendered the more complete. The others most noticeable here were Lion, an African slave hunter, but bearing a close resemblance to another entry, a French bulldog. They were much admired, while the ferocity of an Australian bred animal, but of a breed that is un- known, at least to us, kept his audience at a distance. For the smallest, well- shaped, and healthy dog under 31b weight, not included in previous classes, amongst eight entries, there were three prizes, and to the allotment we do not except. In the Pomeranian dogs, Mr Greene need not, we opine, have put the restrictive price of £ 10,000 on his entry, as the judges rightly considered the animal not even worthy of commendation, a de- cision in which we entirely coincide. The facetious value set upon it by the owner was the only point that attracted observation. The prize list, subjoined, will be the best guide to the other best dogs. The Esquimaux ten entries formed the third division, and there certainly was not " Etah" to compete, or the prize would not have been given to the animal that did get it. Of the Dal- matian dogs, better known to the majority of people as " coach," or " plum pudding" dogs, there were twelve entries and three prizes. The fifth division, for Maltese, had seven entries with one prize, most fitly given to Mandeville's Fido, a well- known and valuable stock dog of this class. The sixth division comprised three Greek terriers, one Manilla, and one Sicilian, Mr Donald Nicholl taking the first prize with what in the Archipelago seems to be so much required, and so difficult to obtain, the Prince; a Sicilian rough being awarded second honours. The pugs were nine in number, with which were incorporated two Indian bred dogs, and the prizes were apparently awarded in the relative degrees of the ugliness of the animals. Of their value we do not pretend to give an opinion, nor could we ad- mire the Australian, Chinese, and Brazilian, which formed the eighth division, and that looked as if they had been shaved to the extrme degree of cuticle development. The ninth division comprised 51 dogs, under the title " various," and they certainly were so. Amongst them we recognised an old friend, Velok, a pure bred Dalmatian, which took the second prize as such at Cremorne, and what business he had in this divi- sion we are unable to say. There was a curious Russian terrier, a French wolfdog, a poodle from Havana, with others literally " various," some from almost the uttermost parts of the civilised globe, and into che merits of which we need not enter, that being a pure matter of fancy. Many of them were very valuable— at least in the opinion of their owners— some were exceedingly handsome, and some, we are bound to say, quite the reverse. Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales ho- noured the show with a visit on Monday morning, while the judges were engaged upon their duties, the Princess taking great interest in the soene, and the Prince lingering fondly over his own draft. During the week the hall has been well patronised by the general public, and at times on the shilling days the spacious avenues have been quite thronged with people. PRIZE LIST.

SAILING MATCH, MAY' 27.— This was the first great match of 1863, and the attractions of this and the R. T. Y. C. Cup on the fol- lowing day attracted one of the best entries that we have seen for years, including three new cutters, all built expressly for racing, and four others, all of first- rate quality. The club offered the fol- lowing prizes:— For first- class yachts, above 2- 5 tons, an embossed silver tankard, value 75 guineas; £ 10 in cash to the second boat. For second- class yachts, above lO. and not exceeding 25 tons, a silver jug, value 30 guineas, and £ 10 in cash to the second boat. Time for tonnage half a minute per ton; course, from Erith, round the Nore, and back. The following were the entries :— FIRST CLASS, YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. 1. PHRTNE 55.... T. Seddon 5.

ALEXANDRA, 2. VAMPIRE .. 19.. Capt Commerell | All but the Crusader appeared at the start. The Phryne is quite new, built by Hatcher of Southampton, and is a noble- looking vessel. As we have heard her name called variously Firn, Frine, and Funny, we will add that it is pronounced Frynee, and is that of a lady of great beauty and talent, but exceedingly lax morals, who flourished at Athens some 2,200 years ago. The Phosphorus was built by Hatcher la6t year, and though very unlucky, managed to win more than any other vessel. The Vindex is quite new, built of iron, by the London Iron Ship Building Company, at Mill wall, from Hatcher's drawings. The Amazon Was built in 1856, and has sailed well, but her sails now look old. Tlie vessel called Queen was formerly called Lurline. She was built in 1860, and has sailed with fair success in the Irish Seas. Her present owner has brought her into the Thames, and has fol- lowed the foolish and troublesome system of changing her name, and has been punished by being last in the race. Oddly t » enough, we had to rejoice in a similar instance of poetical justice last week, where a Lurline in the Ranelagh match was last in the race under her new name of Novice. We ought to add that there is a little excuse for the criminals, as there are some half dozen Lurlines. The Audax has been entirely rebuilt under water this year by Harvey; we understand that her upperworks, decks, & c, were shored up like a London shop under alterations, and that the bottom was then taken out and rebuilt fuller in every way. The Folly was built in 1858 from the designs of the late Mr P. R. Marett, but altered in 1859 by Payne of Southampton. The Vam- pire is an old Southampton boat, which lias been repeatedly altered and lengthened. The Alexandra is of steel, built by her owner at the London Iron Ship Building Com- pany's works in the unprecedentedly short time of three weeks, and she therefore sailed under great disadvantages. The morning of the match was fine and sunny, though not clear, with a light breeze varying from W. S. W. to N. W. The vessels were moored as usual off Erith Church, the first class in the upper line, No. 1 in each case nearest the Kent shore. The first gun was fired at 11: 26: 10, and tlie second at 11: 31: 8, most excellent time. Phryne and Phosphorus were so far in the bight as to be nearly out of the tide, and had swung nearly broadside on, but still could not make a start, and Piiryne hardly moved for a minute or two. Head sails were of course hoisted first, till the essels canted, and then up went the mainsails. The Queen was first with hers, which was up and halyards belayed in 2min 15sec. All were up in less than 3min, and then up went topsails, Queen having hers sheeted home in less than omin. This gave her a good start, and she led round the point. Of course balloon jibs, huge topsails, with jaekyards, & c, were set. Where each maker has done his best to put the utmost canvas on the spars it is not easy to distinguish the merits, but we think that Phryne had the squarest topsail, Amazon the most peak. The wind was to the S. of VV. in Erith Rands, and not much of it. As they rounded the point Queen led, Audax was next, Phosphorus and Vindex close together, about 50 yards astern, Amazon and Piiryne in the rear. The little boats still kept their lead, Alexandra ahead. It was a beautiful scene as they drove down Erith Rands, covering it with huge white sails, just filled with wind, and followed by a dozen or twenty other white- sailed yachts. Half- way down Erith Rands, Piiryne came flying up, and all were in a lump. Below Purfleet they felt the wind a little more, and began to move fast, Folly leading, then Alexandra and Phosphorus abreast, and the rest not 100 yards astern. Here Phosphorus shot ahead, but could not pass the little boats. We can- not count the changes which took place down Long Reach, as the vessels took more or less wind, and if the sight was not grati- fying to those desperate hard- a- weather seamen so numerous in every club steamboat, who are never satisfied with less than halt a gale, it was picturesque and brilliant enough for anybody else, and perhaps more interesting than right away match with one clear winner. At Greenhithe Vindex was leading, Phosphorus next, then Phryne, Audax, Amazon, and Queen, Alexandra, Folly, and Vampire about two hundred yards behind. Rounding Stone Point, opposite Green- hithe, Phryne gave the point a wide berth, coming round with the strength of the tide, and came out with a clear lead, looking as if she meant to run right away. They had to jibe twice in St Clement's, and then flew merrily down Northfieet Hope, till the breeze failed in Gravesend Reach. Then the vessels formed two divisions, Phryne, Vindex, Audax, Phosphorus, and Alexandra all abreast, and a short quarter of a mile behind them Amazon, Queen, Vampire, and Fally also abreast. Graves- end was passed at 12: 46. The wind now came a little to the north, and all had to jibe. Phosphorus now shot ahead, and then again dropped astern, and so they went on. In Lower Hope a breeze nearly brought up the rear division. In Sea Reach Phryne had a good lead, and the little Alexandra kept up wonderfully. The wind was a little to the south of west in Sea Reach, just enough to make the head sails draw, but the tide began to slack, and the steamer fired a gun, then steamed ahead, and anchored oft' Hole Haven, tide beginning to flow. We must say that, in our opinion, any one who knew anything of Thames sailing ought to have been on the look out at the turn of tide, and ought to have understood that the steamer was brought up; however, there was a mis- understanding. Phryne, Audax, and Vindex stood on in spite of steam whistle, shouts, and waving, and it was not till Phryne had got a good 100 yards below the steamer— all three being about 200 yards oft— that they found it out. It was, however, rather a fine sight to see these three large vessels, with their sails adrift, for of course they had all their ballooners up, jibing, luff- ing, and shifting as they rounded the steamer, which was done as follows:— H. M. S. QUEEN 2 39 45 VAMPIRE 2 41 0 AMAZON 2 42 0 PIGEON FLYING— Ml- T. Marshall of Bloxwich will fly his dun checker frilled cock Master Baggot against C.

Mr Marshall will meet Millet at his own house on Tuesday evening, June 2, to draw articles and choose a referee. We have received £ 1 to make ti* e match. On Monday, May 25, a sweepstakes of £ 1 each bird was flown for at Mrs Parker's, Feathers Ir. n, High- street, Sheffield, by 11 subscribers, from Richmond Hill, when Mr T. Holland's dappled hen won the first prise, in 3min l lsea; Mr Wells's chequered cock the second, in 3iain 22see ; and T. Gxley and E. Smith tied for the third, in 3min 23sec.

Those gentlemen who wish to learn or improve their game should get a few lessons from Mr W. White, the author of White on Billiards, at the New Opera Billiard- rooms, Bow- street, Covent- garden. Terms very moderate. His system of tuition is exclusively his own, and based on principles which ensure success. DOMINOES-— T. Bishop ( the Blind Champion Domino Player of England) is open to play any blind man in the world, for £ 15 up to £ 50 a side, II dominoes each, Perkins of Leeds preferred ; or he will play any man who can see, if he will stake £ 30 to £ 20. If £ 5 be sent to BeWs Life ( who shall be final stakeholder), and articles to Mr R. Brettle", Digbeth, Birmingham, a match can be made.

PHRYNE 2 26 0 PHOSPHORUS .. 2 30 0 VINDEX 2 26 12 ALEXANDRA .. 2 : AUDAX 2 26 13 | FOLLY 2 39 30 Audax and Vindex were abreast, Audax outside. She got her sails trimmed first, and started off well, all holding on to the Essex shore. Phosphorus made a very bad round, and Queen a worse; Folly made the best. Of course the other vessels had had time to shift and get ready, and we should think that altogether this mistake must have cost Phryne 2min, and Vindex and Audax nearly as much. Vindex made a very bad round; Folly made the best. Audax had somehow got her sails in trim the earliest, and soon passed to windward of all, the Phryne being delayed by the parting of her bob- stay fall. The Alexandra seemed to do very badly. The vessels kept rather to the N. shore, and beat nearly dead up the reach. Off Mucking, Phryne, Audax, and Vindex were abreast, Vindex to windward, and when they entered the Lower Hope Vindex was far ahead, and the race seemed to be over. Audax could do nothing in the light winds, and was passed easily. Gravesend was reached about four o'clock, Vindex just ahead of Phryne; two hundred yards astern was Phosphorus, and two hundred yards astern of her was Audax. Hereabouts Folly came close up to Alexandra, and whilst they were fighting and manreuvring, Vampire slipped past both, got a good lead, and kept it. A fierce struggle now began between Phryne and Vindex, each doing all she knew to get the lead; a fresh breeze had sprung up, and at times, as much as they could comfortably carry their balloon topsails with, for most of the vessels kept them up. In St Clement's Phryne came close to Vindex, and soon afterwards hoisted an ensign by way of protest about something, to the horror and consternation of the club. In Long Reach Vindex seemed stunned, and was easily passed by Phryne and caught up by Phosphorus, and the prize seemed slipping away. However, Erith was too near, and the vessels passed the buoy eft Erith pier: H. M. s. PHRYNE 5 22 30 VINDEX 5 24 50 PHOSPHORUS.... 5 26 20 H. M. S.

Mawdesley; Thought, cutter, 27 tons, Mr Josiah Jones; Cecilia, yawl, 27 tons, MrT. W. Tetley; Rear- Commodore, and the Lurline cutter, 12 tons, MrW. A. Tomlinson, each yacht having a party of friends on board, partaking of the hospitality of their respective owners. Some distance from the port, after sailing in company, the wind being light, the Commodore gave the signal for the yachts to make the best of their way to the port of Beaumaris, which, as is well known, is situated in the most romantic scenery of Beaumaris Bay and the Menai Straits, distant about 50 nautical miles from Liverpool. After this there was some pretty sailing between the Queen, Thought, and Cecilia, each setting its large jib boomed out to windward, the Queen taking the lead. The fleet came in at Beaumaris in the following order of time — II. M. I H. M. I H. M. QUEEN 8 2S CECILIA 8 45 IERNE 8 52 THOUGHT 8 40 | SNIPE and LURLINE shortly afterwards. The yachts were joined the next day ( Saturday) in the Straits by the Ellen, schooner, 17 tons, Mr John Whittaker; and the Fanny, cutter, 8 tons, Mr George Higgins, of the Ariadne schooner, both of these gentlemen being members, and residing in the Menai Straits The company of the several yachts, among whom were four ladies, who made their passage in the Thought, enjoyed the beautiful scenery cf the district a few days, and the fleet then returned to Liverpool, after spending four days of a very agreeable yachting cruise. ROYAL ST GEORGES YACHT CLUB. On Tuesday7, Moy 26, the Witch schooner, bearing the flag of Rear- Cominodore Wills Sandford, arrived at Kingstown, when she was received with the usual salute by the club battery. The Red Gauntlet sailed on the smne evening for Cowes, where she is to be offered for sale, in consequence of the death of the late owner, Powell Haughton; she is one of the handsomest craft ever seen 011 the Irish waters, and it is a generally expressed hope that she will not leave the St George's list. At a, meeting of the com- mittee, presided over by the Rear- Commodore, the usual routine business was transacted- and a piece of plate, value 60 guineas, was j advantage to the club, possessing, as Mr Morice " does, such a Targe placed at the disposal of the Royal Irish Yacht Club, to be sailed j and influential connection of friends. Several candidates owning for at their regatta in July next. The following yachtsare already | yachts were proposed for election by the new Vice- Commodore, in the harbour:— Fantasy, Col Atkinson ; Echo, C. Putland: Pet, j Major Ferrand was re- elected Rear. Commodore. The honorary Lieut- Col Rutledge; the Wanderer, Diadem, Enid, Wizard, and j treasurer and honorary secretary were re- elected. The sailing a host of others shortly expected.

The steamer was anchored much too near the buoy ; however, the yachts got safely through. Of course, by time Vindex would be the winner in her class, Folly in hers, and Phryne and Vampire would get the second prizes; but now came the horrible question of the protest, w hich was persisted in; so Folly and Vampire received their prizes, which were presented by the Commodore, Mr Arcedeckne, in the usual manner; but it was announced that the first class prize would be suspended for decision. However, the committee altered their minds, established a court in the starboard house- upon- deck, and proceeded to adjudicate. The facts were not much disputed. Phryne was on the starboard tack and crossing the bows of Vindex, both close to the N. shore ; Vindex put about, meaning to get 011 the lee bow of Phryne, but, in putting the helm down, the captain of the Vindex slipped and fell. Mr Duncan and others sprang to keep the helm down, but, of course, the vessel shot ahead further than was intended, and before she could bear away again she was in front of, or at all events very near the bow of Phryne, and to avoid the risk of collision Phryne eased her helm down. The amount to which she was obliged to ease seemed to be the only question of fact which was disputed. Strictly speaking, this was a foul, Phryne being on her right tack; but the committee were of © pinion that it arose from a pure accident, and made no difference in the result, and they therefore overruled the protest. The first prize was then deli- vered to Mr Duncan, and the second to Mr Seddon. This day was a great triumph for Southampton, Hatcher's three boats coming in first in their class, and the two small Southamp- ton boats first in theirs. It also seemed to be a decided victory of iron over wood, as an iron vessel of 45 tons has kept very close to a wooden vessel of 55 tons, both by the same constructor. The Phryne will, we think, improve; at present she is sluggish in short tacks, and seems to be deeper in the water than she might be. Vindex is remarkably quick in stays. It must be recollected, however, that this was a very cahn day, and it yet remains to be seen what the new vessels will do in a strong wind. Each had a very good suit of sails : Phryne's by Gordon of Southampton, Vindex's by Laptliorne of Portsmouth. The Vindex's rope was supplied by Browne of Wivenhoe, and better rope we never felt. Barr of Wivenhoe sailed the Vindex ; R. Penny of Southampton sailed the Folly. The Queen of the Thames was engaged by the club to accom- pany the match, and was unusually well filled; in fact, long be- fore the end of the day the provisions ran short. The bottled ale was exhausted before three o'clock, which seems to show some gross negligence, as it is not wasted like eatables, and there can be no reason for not having an ample store on board. Mills, the captain, of the steamer was exceedingly attentive, and contrived to place the steamer very well for the match throughout the day. The band of the Civil Service were on board and relieved the oc- casional tediousness of the match. The dancing was somewhat feeble, and not kept up with the usual spirit, though the weather was perfect for that purpose— calm, sunny, and not too hot. The start was very punctual for the ten o'clock train from Blackwall. The delay at Erith, both before the prizes were given and during the debate, was somewhat trying and tedious, but there has been so vast an improvement in this respect, that we accept it with gratitude. PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB. A special meeting of this club will be held at the club house, Freemasons' Tavern, 011 Tuesday, June 2, at eight p. m. precisely, to appoint a day for sailing the second match of the season, and make further and final arrangements for the International match of June 9.

C. held its annual meeting under the most favourable auspices for the coming season, and es- pecially as some of the directors of the Great Eastern Railway happened to be on one of their periodical visits. The occasion was taken advantage of to give them a congratulatory welcome by ringing the bells of the venerable church, as well as other demon- strations of good feeling. The election of officers was the first business disposed of, am4 the noble Commodore, Lord Rendle- sham, was re- elected by acclamation ; the office of Vice- Commo- dore was filled up, upon the nomination of Mr Hedge, seconded by Capt Daniels, by the election of Mr John C. Morice, of the cutter Marina, 64 tons. This appointment is anticipated to beof great 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, MAY 24, 1863. numerous promises of attendance from yacht owners the meeting is expected to be a grand affair.

T. Y. C., and the prizes offered were on the usual liberal scale of this club. For first- class yachts above 35 tons, first prize, a very handsome silver tea service, value £ 100; second prize, a silver jug, value £ 50. Prizes were also offered for vessels of the third class, but there was not a sufficient entry of that class, which seem at present to be very deficient. The course was to be from Erith to the Nore and back, time for tonnage half a minute a ton. The following vessels entered:— STATION. NAME. C. M. O. M. OWNER. 1. VINDEX 45 45 Mr A. JDuncan 2. CHRISTABEL 43 48 Mr H. II. Kennard 3. PURINE 55 56 Mr T. Seddon 4. AMAZON 46 — Mr II. T. Smith 5. QUEEN 38 39 Capt Whitbread 6. PHOSPHORUS — 50 Mr W. Turner 7. AUDAX 59 62 Mr J. H. Johnson All started except the Amazon, and as we described them all except the Christabel in our account of the R. L. Y. C. match, we have only to say that she was originally the Violet, but lengthened and altered by Aldous in 1861, and won the corresponding match last year. The wind was very light and westerly, much lighter than on the day before, the sky was unclouded, a thick mist or haze, whereof we suspect London smoke to have formed a large component, prevailed, and at times rendered it difficult to dis- tinguish objects at a mile distance. The anchor of the Phosphorus • was either badly placed or had dragged, for she was some 50 yards below the line. The first gun was fired at 11: 27: 15, the second at 11: 32: 10, excellent time again, and the vessels immediately sent up their headsails and begantoswing. As soon as they werefarenough round up went the mainsails, and in lmin 55sec all the mainsails were up and set; and all the topsails up and sheeted out in 3min SOsec, Vindex first; Audax again made a bad start, though furthest out in the tide. The Phosphorus took the lead, and in Erith Rands was near 200 yards ahead, then came Audax, and then the other four in a lump. Thus they drove down Erith Bands, look- ing pretty enough to the eye of an artist, but dull to that of a sailor. In Long Keacli there was wind enough to fill the head- sails, Phosphorus caught a fine puff and ran a long way ahead, but they were all together again in St. Clements. Numerous changes took place, and Gravesend was reached at 1: 7: 0, at which time Phryne and Vindex were leading. In the Lower Hope the wind freshened, and the fleet settled into a regular order, Phryne leading well, then Vindex, then Phosphorus, then Audax ; Queen and Christabel, close together, bringing up the rear. No changes took place as they drove slowly down Long Reach, and the steamer anchored off Chapman's Head at 2: 50, the tide just draining out. The vessels rounded her as follows:— II. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. PHRYNE 3 0 50 AUDAX 3 9 35 QUEEN 3 11 30 VINDEX 3 9 10 | PHOSPHORUS .. 3 10 0 | CHRISTABEL 3 11 40 All had of course shifted jibs and foresails, but Vindex alone shifted topsails on the way down. The Audax rounded badly, and seemed likely to be cut out by the Phosphorus, whose clever west country round was cheered from the steamer, but before she had gone half a mile, away went her topsail yard with a crack that was distinctly heard on board tha steamer. She and all the fleet were standing over to the north shore to catch the first of the flood, but she was obliged to put about in order to get the wreck in, and the broken spar waslowered, and a big working topsail ac- tually set up in six minutes from the time of the accident. Those who have known what it is to pull on the halyards of a big work- ing topsail will be able to estimate this feat. This threw her into the last place, but the topsail stood so much better than the ballooner that we doubt if she ultimately suffered. We rather think that some sort of foul now occurred, but the steamer at this and many other parts of the match was kept so very far behind all the vessels that we could not very well see what happened. The Phosphorus, in the second tack after the accident, was on the starboard tack, and put the Queen about; but the Christabel seemed not quite in time with her tack, and forced the Phosphorus about, and after that the Queen and Christabel seemed very close. Next tack Phosphorus passed clear ahead of both, and began to gain on Vindex, which had some time been passed by Audax. At this period of the match the Water Lily was descried a short distance ahead; the steamer was turned towards her, and when the vessels were close, the appearance of Lord Alfred Paget on the deck of his vessel, surrounded by his tine family, called forth such reiterated bursts of cheers and shouts from the steamer, as to leave no doubt respect- ing the feelings of the club, and the general regret at the unfor- tunate occurrences which had deprived the club, for the present at all events, of its renowned commodore. In Lower Hope the breeze freshened, and Audax was passed successively by Vindex and Phosphorus. In & ravesend Phryne was terribly hampered by tugs and other vessels, and lost ground, letting Vindex come well within her time. In Nortlifleet Hope Vindex seemed to have another of these mysterious stoppages, Phryne got a long way ahead, and at Grays Phosphorus came up so close that many thought she might, by other tactics, have headed the Vindex; how- ever it was not done, Vindex got away again, and they passed the winning buov.

Soon after the vessels had come in Mr Alfred Cox, who had been elected to act as president of the match, delivered the prizes, with the usual complimentary ad- dresses, Mr Duncan receiving the first, Mr Seddon the second; and in return for the thanks which were given to him for his management of the match, Mr Cox expressed his hope that Lord Alfred Facet might soon resume his place in the club. This match was, oddly enough, an exact repetition in its result of the E. L. Y. C. match, the only difference being that the Christabel occupied the place of the Amazon. It is again a great triumph for Hatcher, though the times be- tween the first and last vessels on each day were so small as to show the certainty and perfection to which yacht- building is now carried ; and it is obvious that the Queen, though last on each day, must be a very fast vessel, fit to win against any other antagonists, and perhaps against them in a strong wind. The Prince of Wales steamer was hired by the club, and had a goodly company of some 350 on board, which inade her rather uncomfortably full. The day for the spectators was warm and delightful, the only thing wanted being a little more speed in the match. The victualling department was well managed by the experienced Mr Watts, and we heard of no complaints or de- ficiencies. A detachment of the band of the 2d Life Guards was on board arid gave great satisfaction, both by their musical per- formances and their excellent behaviour. Hale led by a clear length, and at the Crab Tree by two. Here Smith fouled a barge; this gave the London pair a little further lead, and they ultimately won by two and a half clear lengths. SECOND HEAT. F. W. Bryant and F. J. Tyler, West London Rowing Club ( Surrey station) 1 II. Judson and A. R. Pitt, West London Rowing Club ( Mid- dlesex station) 0 Bryant and partner went away with the lead, and had cleared themselves at Simmons's, both pairs steering badly. It was already evident that the senior pair were too much for their op- ponents, as there was no shadow of a race, for Bryant and Tyler increased their lead ad libitum, and won easily. FINAL HEAT. Custance and Hale, L. R. C. ( Middlesex station) 1 Bryant and Tyler, W. L. R. C. ( Surrey station) 0 The West London pair were the favourites at 7 to 4 and 2 to 1, as they had been in training for a much longer period than their antagonists. A splendid start was succeeded by Bryant and part- ner taking a trifling lead, which they improved into a quarter of a length in fifty yards. The Londoners then put on a spurt, and on passing the Star and Garter a magnificent neck and neck contest was going on and continued to Simmons's, where Hale spurted a few feet in advance, the West London pair steering badly. Opposite the London Boat House they got straight again, and drawing up level, it was shoot and shoot for the next half mile. During this time the race was a most extraordinary one. In the excitement of the contest the pairs repeatedly approached each other so closely that Hale and Bryant's oars overlapped at least a foot; there was never a touch, however, owing to an evident desire in bsth boats to avoid a collision, and they continued to pull alongside each other until they completely rowed themselves to a standstill, the oars scarcely dipping, which will give some idea of the fierceness of the contest. At length, however, Hale put on a spurt, and Tyler being unable to hold his partner, the London pair drew half a length in front, and, attempting to take their opponents' water too soon, pulled right across them. The West London pair, how- ever, gave way a little, and this, added to a spurt on the part of Mr Hale, which literally shook the boat, saved the catastrophe which seemed so imminent. Immediately afterwa. ds the London pair went clear, and led by half a clear length at Craven. Here the West London pair drew up on their quarter, but their spurt came too late, and at the Crab Tree Custance and partner led by a length and a half beside their own. There was the same gap between them at the Soap Works, the West London pair keeping them going pretty well, and Custance and Hale ulti- mately won by two and a half to three lengths, the distance ( rowed on the top of the water) being pulled in lOmin 3sec. The rowing of the winners was a considerable improvement upon that displayed in their trial heat, and both they and the losers came in for a hearty cheer. CLUB EIGHTS.— Between the second and final heats of the above a race was rowed between two eights, manned principally by the junior members, the distance being Putney to Chiswick Eyott ( lower end).

Mr Alfred Cox in the chair, it was resolved that a special committee, consisting of eleven members, be ap- pointed to consider the present position of the club, and to report upon the course to be adopted. The general committee having nominated Mr Alfred Cox. of the Whirlwind cutter, as president of the cutter match on Thursday, May 28, that gentleman was unanimously elected to officiate" on the occasion. The whole proceedings did not occupy ten minutes. The second match of the season is appointed to be sailed on Thursday, June 11, for cutters of the second and fourth classes, viz, second class, exceed- ing 20 and not exceeding 35 tons, prize value £ 50. and provided four start, a prize value £ 20 to the second boat.— Fourth class, 7 and not exceeding 12 tons, prize value £ 30, and a prize value £ 10 to the second boat if four start. Half a minute time per ton allowed for difference of tonnage in each class. Course, from Erith round the Nore and return. Entries to close at ten p. m. on Thursday next, June 4. And on the same day an extra match, for a prize value £ 40, with a £ 10 prize to the second boat if four start, to be sailed by yachts belonging to the Royal Thames Yacht Club of 20 tons and upwards, any rig, and which have never won a prize; to sail with the usual fittings, in cruising trim, to the satisfaction of the committee. Course, time for tonnage, and last night of entry, the same as for the second and fourth classes. The conditions for the schooner race on Saturday, June 27, will be found in our advertising columns of this week. ROYAL WELSH YACHT CLUB- The regatta of this club has been fixed for August 4, when good sport is anticipated. A meeting of the club took place in the club house on Wednesday, May 27, Mr C. J. Sampson being called to the chair, there being no flag- officer present. Mr Piatt of Bryneneauad and Mr Darbyshire of Carnarvon were elected members, and notice given for the election of Mr Harrison, of the Oriental Club. Orders were given for the painting and reno- vating of the interior of the club house. OPENING MATCH IN THE SOLENT. On Saturday, May 16, the first match in the Solent came off in the Ryde waters, among the following club yacht:— YACHTS. RIO. TONS. OWNER. CRUSADER cutter 3" Lieut Sladen ( R. A.). AVOCA schooner 50 H. M. Godwin. CONSTANCE schooner 43 Lord Louth. The latter schooner was formerly the Lily of Devon, belonging to Messrs Welsh and Thornton, and must not be confounded with the celebrated schooner Constance, built by Mr Joseph White, formerly belonging to the noble Marquis of Conynghain, but we believe now that of Mr Turner Turner. The course was from the station off Ryde pier, round the Warner, thence to the west buoy of the middle bank and back; twice round. The weather was squally, with rain; wind S. W. At ten a. m. the starting gun was fired from the club house battery, and the cutter was the first to get away, and having got the lead kept it throughout. The thick weather and driving rain prevented us from having more than an occasional glimpse of their progress. On slipping from their moorings they went away with flowing sheets, and they rounded the Warner as follows :— HMSL HMSL HMS CRUSADER 11 3 O | AVOCA 11 6 30 | CONSTANCE.. 11 9 0 Boon after the start the wind lulled, and very little interest was excited in the match, and the yachts on completing the respective rounds of the course were timed— NAME.

BELFOUR PAIRS— The race for the prizes liberally presented by Mr E. Belfouv, the vice- president of the London Rowing Club, for the purpose of encouraging pair- oared rowing, came off for the fourth time on Saturday, May 23. The race is open to the aquatic world, with the exception of winners of the Grand Challenge and Stewards' Challenge Cups at Henley, a University race at Putney, and previous winners; and as the best men in the L. R. C. had won the Grand Challenge Cup last year, the competition was more open than usual, and consequently pairs from every club on the river of any note were expected to enter, the members of three, if not more, of the clubs indicated having at one time been in train- ing for the event. Only two clubs, however, were found to con- tend against the two gentlemen who represented the London Rowing Club, and consequently only four pairs came to the post. If, however, Mr Belfour was disappointed in the number of the boats engaged, he was in some measure compensated by the keen- ness of the'contests which the race produced, and had the satis- faction of knowing that the match, as we said last year, went off without any of those little contretemps which marred the first two contests for the prizes. The race this year also brought forward a club who had not contended before, viz, the North London, and their rowing, when all the circumstances are taken into considera- tion, was exceedingly good, and they will do well to practise until thev become perfect in the prettiest, and at the same time most accomplished, style of rowing. The race was rowed in three heats from Putney to Hammersmith, and the results were as under:— FIRST HEAT. H. N. Custance and T. Hale, London Rowing Club ( Surrey J. K'smith and W. Woodrow,' North London Rowing Club L. ^ Bric^ wood and E. D." Brickwood, Hammersmith ( Mid- '" adlesex station) dr Thv Parted evenly, although both pairs went away somewhat wildly? and splashed a good deal the first few strokes, during which time they rowed a ding- dong race; this lasted perhaps one hundred yards, and then the North London pair settled down, and putting on a lively spurt took their boat so rapidly in front that they led by half their length opposite the steamboat dummy, were clear at the Bull's Head, and led by a quarter of a clear length by the time they reached Simmons's. At this moment the London pair rowed dead at a barge, and before they had time to remedv the mistake they had made Hale fouled it badly. This mishap, possibly caused by a little clever manoeuvring on the part of the North Londoners, gave them an additional lead of a length and a half, and nearly opposite the London Boat House they were rowing so well that the race seemed in their hands; immediately after Hale got his oar in its place again, however, he set his partner a very rapid and effective stroke, and the spurt put on by Custance and Hale was so magnificent and telling a one that they had already gained a length on their opponents at Bishop's Creek, and at the top of the cricket field were close on their quarter. The North Londoners finding themselves hard pressed lay down to their work in real earnest, but be- came wild, and steering very badly beside, the Londoners were level with them just before they reached the Point; Hale here, in the excitement of the race, rowed so hard, as to pull Custance nearly into the bank, but received a friendly warning from the accompanying steamboat in time, and the pair dashing away led by half a length at the Point, and had well cleared themselves and taken their opponents' water at the Dung Wharf. After they were passed the North London men rowecl more quietly, although still struggling gamely, and sat their boat exceedingly well; but the facts of Woodrow having been unwell during his training ( which was very short), and of the club generally not having paid much attention to pair- oared, rowing, certainly told against them.

Lucas ( cox) After a very scrambling start and they led by half a length at the Bull's Head. Davis put on a spurt here, but a crab caught by one of the men threw the whole crew into confusion. The race was, however, kept up with spirit to the Point, where Schlotel went clear. From here he gradually increased his lead: Davis put on spurt after spurt with great game, but his crew did not aid his efforts ; his coxswain steered badly, and he fell more and more behind. Under Hammersmith Bridge Schlotel led by three lengths, and won by four, after easing up. The Rifleman accompanied all the crews with a large freight, and the West London steamer, which had gone up with their four- oared race, was also in company after the second heat of the Belfours. In the evening the vice- president presented his prizes, which were very pretty goblets, with an inscription on one side and the representation of two pairs rowing a race opposite the boat house, with Simmons's in the distance, on the other. In giving these handsome prizes to the winners, Mr Belfour took occasion to con- gratulate the club on their having been successful in three out of the four contests since the institution of the race, and spoke in terms of great praise of the plucky rowing of the pairs who had been opposed t ® the winners. Mr'Custance responded, and three cheers were given for the winners. Mr Belfour was umpire and starter in all the heats. THAMES ROWING CLUB. The members of this club rowed a race in four- oared outrigged gigs on Saturday, May 23, and the style in which it was rowed fully justified the expectations that were entertained of the contending crews, all of whom had been in active training for some time past. The first heat was from Putney to Hammer- smith, and resulted as follows:— Mr Oswin's Crew, Middlesex station ( red) 1 Mr Hardie's Crew, Surrey station ( blue) 0 MR OSWIN'S CREW. I MR HARDIE'S CREW. VV. Parker J. Peckover J. Moore | G. Partridge J. Hodder | S. P. Cressall T. Oswin F. Hardie J. Catty ( cox) | W. Hurst ( cox) Blue started well, showing in front at once, and took Red's water opposite the Star and Garter. This advantage they main- tained to Simmons's, but at the Point Red had lessened the dis- tance to half a length. Blue, taking advantage of their position, now bored the other boat so much as to f « rce them quite out of the usual course, and very nearly caused a foul. Red, however, gave way a little, and still pressing on, caught them at the Crab Tree, passed in front at the Soap Works, and finally won by half a length. The second heat was then rowed over the same course with the following result:— Mr Radmall's Crew, Middlesex station ( green) 1 Mr Kearns's Crew, Surrey station ( white) 0 MR RADMALL'S CREW. I MR KEARNS'S CREW. J. H. Witten H. Clarke A. Elphinstone | E. O. Donoghue R. Holman E. Andertou T. Radmall J. Kearns W. E. S. Thomson ( cox) [ J. C. Bowie ( cox) After a good start White was leading at the Star and Garter by half a length. Green, however, soon drew alongside, and a good race ensued to the Point. At Craven Cottage Green began to show slightly in front, and drew themselves clear at the Dung Wharf. From this point they increased their lead, winning easily by three lengths. After an interval of about an hour, the final heat was rowed down from Hammersmith Bridge to Putney Pier, with the following result:— Mr Oswin's Crew 1 | Mr Radmall's Crew .... 0 Both boats started well. At the Soap Works they were quite level, and continued so till Craven Cottage was reached, when Radmall showed very slightly in front. At the Point Oswin had a trifling advantage, but at Simmons's they were again as level as when they started. So close a race, probably, has not been known at Putney for years, and it would doubtless haveresulted in a dead heat but for a most determined spurt put OH by Mr Oswin, which placed his boat about a quarter of a length ahead just at the finish. The prizes, which consisted of handsome silver goblets, were afterwards presented by the captain ( Mr F. B. Catty) to the winning crew on board Citizen P, which accompanied the race, and was very full. WEST LONDON BOWING CLUB. TKIAL FOUES.— This race, established with the same object as that which dictated the institution of the trial eights in the Lon- don Rowing Club, came off on Saturday, May 23 ( having been postponed from the previous Tuesday, owing to the north- easterly ale which prevailed on that day), and was accompanied by the Jhilde Harold, which was well filled. The distance was Putney to Hammersmith, and the result was as under:— Mr Hacker's Crew ( Surrey station) 1 Mr Lister's Crew ( Middlesex station) 0 Mr Collins's Crew ( centre station) 0 MR HACKER'S CREW. 1. W. Shephard 2. G. Kerridge 3. A. D. Houseman 4. C. A. Hacker E. T. Embleton ( cox) MR LISTER'S MR COLLINS'S CREW. CREW. 1. T. Parry 1. G. Pauley 2. F. Drake 2. E. Howard 3. B. Dewar 3. A. Smith 4. G. D. Lister 4. C. Collins J. Cockerell ( cox) R. Niblett ( cox) After a false start they got away in rather scrambling order, owing to a barge being in their course. Collins's crew were first away, but stopped directly afterwards, owing to their boat rolling. Then Hacker's crew went straight away, and at the Star were a clear length and a half in front. A capital race meanwhile was going on between Lister and Collins, which lasted to just beyond Simmons's, when Collins's crew fell behind, and shut up soon after passing Craven. Hacker's crew had now taken a rest, which gave Lister an opportunity of nearing them a little, but Hacker afterwards got away again, and won easily by three lengths. Mr Thorne, the treasurer, officiated as umpire and starter. MIDDLESEX. Bohn G. Grant Cope Barrett Lasceiles ( cos) TWICKENHAM ROWING CLUB. This club had fixed their four- oared gig races for Tuesday, May 19, and the first heat of the race was rowed in the heavy north- east gale of wind which on that day swept with such fury from the Thames to the Severn. The course was from Strawberry Vale to Mr Kirby's, Little. Marble Hill. The crews were as fol- lows :— SURREY STATION. I CENTRAL STATION. F. Grant Hawley F. Davidson I Matthews J'ownall I Mawley Yearsley R. Bridgett Stevens ( cox) | Barrett, jun ( cox) , Barrett's crew, with the worst station, got first off', Bridgett's next, and Yearsley's last, the latter starting slowly. In a few strokes Bridgett's crew drew slightly ahead and maintained their advantage for a little distance, when the others came level, and soon after Barrett's crew were leading by half a length. In rounding the Point rowing became most difficult, owing to the heavy surf, and Barrett's party being taken out of their water across Bridgett's bows, a foul would have been inevitable had not the latter's coxswain given way, and in his turn nearly fouled Yearsley. On getting into smoother water Barrett's crew showed in front, and soon after drew themselves a length or more in advance, a capital race going on for second place between Brid- gett and Yearsley, the two boats being perfectly level from the top of the island down to the ferry, where Bridgett passed his oppo- nent. The water here again became so broken that the boats had great difficulty in struggling through it, and the umpire's eight, being unprotected by canvas or washboards, filled and went down with all hands on board. They all, however, got safely to land, and after a little display of diving for missing coats were seen making for home along the towing- paths at a good pace, none the worse for their ducking. The crews came in as follows, viz, Barrett's first, winning by a couple of lengths; Brid- gett's second, and Yearsley's a further couple of lengths astern. The severity of the gale prevented any further rowing for this day. The second heat was therefore rowed on Thursday, May 21. MIDDLESEX STATION. B. Davidson SURREY STATION. Cresswell Jones Stringer Bowyer Murray ( cox) G. Atherstone Simmonds Bond Hawkins ( cox) Capt Hawker's third, and Private Marietti's last. It is but fair to Capt Hawker's crew to say that they laboured under every disad- vantage, he himself having a bad hand, which prevented him from practising for three weeks before the race, and their bow being suddenly taken ill and having to be replaced at the last moment by another man ; from these causes they were obliged to row in a light gig, which was very kindly lent them by the Kingston Club, their opponents using the outrigged racing boat. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, they made a very fine race of it, and there can be but little doubt that, with equal chances, they would have proved formidable opponents to the winners. The crews, with their friends, afterwards adjourned to the Griffin, where they partook of an excellent dinner. SONS OF THE THAMES REGATTA.

On Monday evening a gig race was rowed ( over tha usual course, Putney to Hammersmith) amongst the members of this club. The entries had been very fair, but owing to circumstances only three boats started. The stations count from the Surrey side. 2. Messrs Cecil and Collings, Cecil, jun ( cox), white 1 3. Messrs G. Purdieand Yates, Pennington ( cox), red 2 1. Messrs Appleton and F. Johnson, Norton ( cox), blue 3 A very fair start was effected, Red going ahead for a fefv strokes. At the London Boat House White took a decided lead, and finally came in the winner by a hundred yards. A good race ensued be- tween Red and Blue, but, the latter lost the second place by half a length. Mr Harvey, the late hon sec, was umpire, in a club cutter, and the prizes were afterwards presented to Messrs Cecil and Collings, by the president, at Harry Kelley's, where a large num- ber of members were present. NEMESIS ROWING CLUB, MANCHESTER. The four- oared races of this club were rowed on the Irwell on May 20 and 22, and excited a great amount of interest, not only among the members of the club, but the whole of the lovers of aquatic sports in this city. The crews entered were: FIRST HEAT. Messrs S. Cheetham, J. L. Hodgson, Lupton, C. J. Wild .... 1 Messrs O'Keefe, Dyer, Booth, Shorrocfcs 2 SECOND HEAT. Messrs Holding, Cleator, Moir, Roe I Messrs Jackson, Wallace, Kennedy, Davies 2 The prizes were four silver cups, given by the club. In the first heat both boats went away very quickly, though Mr Shorrocks seemed to gain an advantage soon after the start, and at the Culvert be managed to increase it to nearly a length, when a vigorous spurt from Mr Wild's crew placed the boats bow and bow at the Boat- house, when a terrific race took place to the buoys, which the No. 1 crew reached first by about a length, and making a better turn than their opponents placed such a distance between them that they could never make up, and Mr Wild's crew passed the win- ning post several lengths ahead. The second heat was more closely contested still, each crew being alternately half a length first all the way up, but Mr Roe's crew seemed in slightly better condition, which showed itself on the pull home, and they won by about two lengths. The deciding heat, between Mr Roe's and Mr Wild's crews, was a very different race, and is told in a few words. Mr Wild's crew made a very quick start, gaining a con- siderable advantage in the first few strokes, and this lead they managed to increase to a length at the Pomona Gardens, and this they maintained and increased all the way, andthough Mr Roe and his crew made some fine spurts, and rowed very pluckily, they could not succeed in overhauling their opponents, who won A pretty level start was effected, Bowyer having an advantage from the wild rowing of Bond's crew. On settling down, how- ever, to their work, the latter drew level with, and then slightly ahead ef Bowyer, but the race was contested so well that they were unable to get away. On rounding the point opposite Pope's Villa the boats were again nearly level, and from this place down to the Ferry a neck and neck race took place, when Bond's crew, by a vigorous spurt, drew their boat a couple of lengths ahead, and were not again overhauled. Won by a length and a half. The final heat between the winners of the preceding heats was rowed on Friday evening, May 22, with the following result :— Barrett's Crew ( Surrey station) 1 Bond's Crew ( Middlesex station) 0 Bond's crew took the lead, and by the Bushes had drawn the stern of their boat clear of their opponents' bow, but before round- ing the Point the boats were nearly level, Bond having still a trifling advantage. On getting into the Gut a most desperate race ensued, which resulted in Barrett's crew gradually overhauling their opponents inch by inch, and by a splendid spurt off the Duke d'Aumale's drawing themselves a couple of lengths ahead; and although Bond's crew again and again spurted up in a most plucky manner, the race was virtually ended, and the winners came in about two lengths ahead beside their own. The pace was good throughout. The captain ( Mr Vertue) was umpire in all the heats. VOLUNTEER F0UR- 0ARED RACE. A four- oared race took place on Saturday, May 23, at Kingston, between the officers and non- commissioned officers of No. 10, or War Office Company of South Middlesex Rifle Volunteers . and the privates of that company. The crews were: CAPT HAWKER'S CREW. 1. Serg Lambert 2. Serg Jones 3. Ens Morse 4. Capt Hawker Corp Jermyn ( cox) PRIVATE WAL- POLE'S CREW. 1. Priv Gleig | 2. Priv Westmacott I 3. Priv Burne 4. Priv Walpole I Morshead ( cox) PRIVATE WAWN'S CREW. 1. Priv A. Hawker 2. Priv Knellar 3. Priv Groome 4. Priv Wawn Herbert ( cox) PRIVATE MARIETTI'S CREW. 1. Priv Mavnard 1 4. Priv Marietti 2. Priv Scott Priv Hobart ( cox) 3. Priv Reid | The course selected was from Teddington Weir to Kingston Bridge. An excellent start was effected about half- past six, the boats keeping well together for the first half mile. After that Private Wawn* s crew forged ahead, and ultimately won a well- contested race by one boat's length, Private Walpole's second, ROWING AT ETON- DEAR BELL : On reading an account of the race between the two sides of Eton College I see that the north side were delayed at the Rushes by the weeds, which is too often the case in their races. Now it seems to me that if the large number of gentlemen that boat at Eton were to have the weeds cut at regular intervals we should very seldom hear of races being spoilt by the weeds. The cost of cutting them would be almost nomiial. There is also another obstruction of the river that in the course of a few years, if not removed, will entirely spoil their course for rowing ; I mean the rapidly- increasing sand- bank at Clewer Point. If they were to employ a few ballast boats for a short time they would be able to remove the obstruction, and have a fairer course for rowing, which at present is one of the most difficult courses on the river.— Yours, & c, AN OLD ETONIAN. CORK CITY ROWING CLUB. We have received a letter from one of the members of the above club, who wishes us to withhold his name at present, stating that the resolution advertised in our paper ef the 10th May, was " unanimously agreed to and more than carried by acclamation, at a general meeting duly summoned and convened; and it is also a fact that Mr Downing on that occasion acted in his capacity as secretar}-, and duly entered the resolution on the minutes of the club." SOUTHAMPTON AMATEUR REGATTA CLUB.— It will be remem- bered that the opening match of the above club came off on Monday, May 11, when a silver goblet was to have been rowed for in heats by members of the club, but in consequence of the boisterous weather which prevailed on the 12th, the final heat was postponed for a fortnight, Messrs Shergold and Webster being the successful parties in the two bears, and were left to compete for the prizes, and Tuesday, May 26, was the day named for the final heat to come off. The start took place at 6: 13: 30 p. m. The course being the same as on the previous occasion. Tha start was made by a whistle and a pistol. Shergold started from his flag beacon on hearing the whistle, and Webster, apparently confused, waited for the report of the pistol, so that Shergold gained a start of at least a couple of lengths. Webster observing this gave way, and upon passing the clubhouse was three lengths on his oppo- nent's port quarter, but he appeared to be drawing on him, awd exactly five minutes after the start, there was only a length difference between them, but this breach was never lessened. On reaching the extreme point of the course, Shergold rounded the mark boat about a couple of lengths in advance of Webster, being, in fact, exactly 8sec in time. They now put forth their whole strength, Shergold continuing the outside berth both outward and homeward, by which and by other mishaps he may have lost a few seconds. Their, return to the goal was as follows :— Shergold 6: 31: 45, and Webster 6: 42: 20, the former consequently being the victor by 45sec. FULHAM REGATTA.— This respectably conducted and old esta- blished regatta, supported by the nobility and gentry of Fulham, will take place on Monday, June 22, in the following order:— First heat:— John Kelly ( yellow), Frederick Kelly ( magenta), Thomas Wingfield ( light blue). Second heat: John Freeman ( pink), John Pewell ( purple), Stephen Knight ( mauve). The grand heat to consist of the two first boats in the first and second beats. The first heat to start at three o'clock from Fulham Bridge, up, round a boat moored off Crab Tree, down, round a boat moored off Broomhouse, up, through the centre arch of the bridge. The second heat to start at four o'clock, and row the same distance. Grand heat to start at six o'clock from Fulham Bridge, down, round a boat moored off Broomhouse, up, round a boat moored off Crab Tree, and finish off Craven Cottage. Mr Hackman has kindly consented to act as the treasurer of the regatta fund. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— A match took place in the basin at Argeriteuil on Sunday, May 24, for small yachts below 17 feet in length. There were 11 entries, but only 10 yachts were actually present. The course was three times round the basin, or about 10 miles in all. The St Louis, M Jamin, carried off the honours of the day; the Zampa, M Fournier, came close upon her; and the Aventurier, M Garnaud, followed at a little distance; the Colibri, M Grosset, and the Caprera, M Benoit- Champy, being close together. The other yachts did not complete the distance.— Marseilles Regatta, which stood for to- day, May 31, has been postponed to June 14.— A gondola, brought from Italy by order of the Empress, has just formed a picturesque addition to the witers of the palace of Fontainebleau. This gondola, which is about 17 feet in length, is of great lightness, and has been con- structed in pear- tree wood, dyed black, imitating ebony. LEGAL QUAYS REGATTA.— The 16th annual regatta, by the Legal Quays watermen, will take place on Saturday, June 6, in commemoration of the birthday of Her Most Gracious Majesty, commencing at ten o'clock precisely, for a purse of sovereigns and other prizes ; to be decided in five heats ; the men to row twice round the Bel Chain and St Katherine's Dock Buoy each heat. First heat: T. M'Larty ( white), T. Goggon ( pink), C. Randall ( yellow).— Second heat; H." Lineman ( green), 8. Thorrington ( red), W. Riley ( blue).— Third heat: The second and third men of the first and second heats.— Fourth heat: The first and second men of the third heat to row with the first men of the first and second heats.— Grand heat: The first and second men of the fourth heat will row for the purse. ROYAL HARWICH YACHT CLUB.— This club has just held its annual meeting for the election of officers, & c. An excellent regatta may be anticipated in the course of the summer, but the date has not yet transpired. The club has the great advantage of the powerful support of the Great Eastern Railway board, Mr Love, the chairman, and Mr J. Goodson, the deputy chairman ( a gentleman well known in the yachting world), taking an active interest in its welfare. Several of the directors attended the club meeting on Monday, and a sociable party afterwards dined to- gether at the Clips Hotel. The directors are endeavouring to raise Harwich as a port; in the days of the Georges it was a point of much importance, but the changes involved by the set of modern commerce have inflicted great injury upon it. EASTERN THAMES REGATTA.— On Thursday, July 9, a regatta under this title takes place, when a new skiff and sundry other prizes will be rowed fer by seven free watermen; to be decided in five heat3. First heat: W. Nickels, King Henry Stairs ( red); J. Barginal, Wapping Old Stairs ( green); W. Munns, New Crane Stairs ( pink); J. Dove, Union Stairs ( blue and white).— Second heat: E Briant, Wapping Dock Stairs ( blue); J. Corsan, Her- mitage Stairs ( red and white); D. Bradley, Alderman's Stairs ( stripes). The boats to start at ten o'clock from St Katheris- e's Dock Buoy, go round a vessel moored off New Crane, Shad well, and finish at the London Dock Buoy, Wapping entrance; once round each heat. WINGFIELD CHALLENGE SCULLS.—' This contest is now fixed for July 20 and 2- 3. Challengers to enter at Messrs Searle and Bons', Stangate, Lambeth, by eight o'clock p. m. on Thursday, July 9, and at the same time and place the holder must deposit the sculls, and declare his intention of contending for or resigning them. If more than one challenger enter they will have to row a trial heat on Monday, July 20, starting at five o'clock. The win- ner of the trial heat to row the holder on Thursday, July 23, starting at 6: 20 p. m. If only one challenger enters, the race will take place on the 23d. Pilot boats are allowed in this race, sub- ject to the control of the umpire. LYMINGTON.— There is very little stirring at this place among the yaclitmen as yet. The Enchantress, Sir Thomas Whichcote, Bart; Qndine, Mr Harris; and the Stella, Earl Seiners, appear to be the only yachts fitting out, besides a new yacht schooner of about 90 tons, recently launched by Inman for Mr Lumsden. The Stella is still on the stocks ready for launching ; she has been lengthened 12 feet forward, which has much improved her. There is a new schooner coppered for launching upon the stocks in the same yard, but which waits an owner, as also several of Inman's fleet lying on the mud. THE UNION YACHT CLUB HOUSE.— The old Clifton Hotel, at Gravesend, is being re- decorated for the above, and will be in readiness for the reception of members by the races of the Royal London and Royal Thames Yacht Clubs, on the 10th and 11th of June. The formation of the club has progressed most favourably, and the committee within a few days proceed to the ballot for members. Many officers of the army and navy are on the list, including the principal^ of those quartered at Chatham ; they are eligible for election without payment of the entrance fee. Mem- bers of royal yacht clubs are eligible for election without ballot. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB.— We regret to find that some obser- vations of ours as to the name of the Nikomi, one of the yachts engaged in the late Ranelagh match, appear to have eiven pain. It seems that the word ought to have been printed with a circum- flex accent over the o and an iota subscript. In that form we might have recognised it as the contracted form of the first person singular of the present tense of the optative mood of the verb Nikao, and as meaning " May I conquer," a pretty and appropri- ate name for a racing yacht. GREAT YARMOUTH REGATTA.— A meeting was held at Great Yarmouth on Monday evening, May 25, the mayor ( Mr R. 8teward) presiding, to make arrangements for a regatta as usual in Great Yarmouth Roads this year. The mayor expressed a hope that whatever fate might be in store for Yarmouth Races, the regatta would not be suffered to die out. A committee was appointed to make the necessary arrangements, and the regatta will take place some time in July or August. LAMBETH WATERMEN'S REGATTA.— This regatta will take place on Monday, Aug 3, when the following pairs will contend: — First heat: W. Perry and H. Maynard, sen ( white); H. May- nard, jun, and R. Wilson ( green); T. Pocock andG. Kippen ( light blue).— Second heat: T. Perry and T. Dudley ( pink), D. Eld and J, Eld ( yellow), E. Rolls and S. Perry ( scarlet). Ed- mund Brumwell, manager. CHILDS AND DIXON.— For this match we have received a fur ther sum of £ 2 10s a side, and a similar deposit is to be made at Mr Dixon's, Homeward Bound, Commercial- road, on Monday, June 1. J. Tagg of Moulsey will find four to row Hore's four, or any other four of Hammersmith, for £ 50 or £ 100, in a weeif from the first deposit. Money sent to Bell's Life will be covered and a match made. THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB.— The whitebait dinner is fixed for Tuesday, June 9, at Quartermaine's, Ship Tavern, Greenwich, at six o'clock, when the chair will be taken by Mr John Locke, Q. C., M. P., one of the vice- presidents of the club. MAY AND STRATFORD.— For this match we have received a further sum of £ 5 a side, and a similar deposit is to be made at Mr Willcox's, White Hart, Barnes, June 8. ROYAL NORTHERN YACHT CLUB.— Reference to our advertis- ing columns will show the prizes to be given by this club at their regatta at Dunoon, which is fixed for July 7 and 8. COLE AND HOAEE.— This match has come to nothing, Cole de- clining to go on. THE RING. FIGHTS TOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP.— The history of the Cham- pionship of England, with the Appendix up to the end of 1860, may now be obtained at our office in one volume, price 5s, instead of 7s 6d for the two volumes. FIGHT: BETWEEN JACK * SMITH :( ALIAS WOLF) AND JOE W0KMALD, FORII£ 25 A SIDE. The match between these East- Enders came off on Tuesday, on the home circuit, but owing to the extraordinary lasting qualities of the men, and the late hour at which they entered the ring, the battle was not brought to a satisfactory issue. They were not confined to weight, and the present tourney is the most important in which either has at present been engaged. Wormald was brought out by Jack Hicks. He is a fine young fellow, standing 6ft, 22 years of age, and weighed when he entered the ring on Tuesday something over 12st. Smith, who when he fought Owen Lee, whom he defeated, was introduced as Jem Mace's Black, was for the present match backed from Mr Richardson's. He stands 5ft lOin, is 22, and weighed, so he informed us, when he last scaled llfst, but from the meat there was about him we should say he was a good bit heavier. Wormald had Jack Hicks and George Simms for seconds, while Bos Tyler and Jack Lawley did the requisite for the black. The odds were 6 to 4 on the darkey. THE FIGHT. Round 1.— Wormald having the advantage in height and reach stood well over his man, and at a glance it was seen that he was in admirable condition ; while his antagonist was a long way from being well. From the manner in which Joe threw himself into position it was apparent that, although this was his debut in the P. B., he had been well schooled. The darkey has unques- tionably been wonderfully well put together for strength, and the proof of this is that, under no ordinary disadvantages, he stood the wear and tear of this long contest like a bit of mahogany. The men were remarkably cautious, and sparred and manoeuvred for the purpose of getting an opening. Darkey at last got home with the left on the nose, and the men having taken new ground again got well within reach, when Joe, after screwing himself up, and twisting the left shoulder half round in a curious fashion, jumped at his man, and with the left delivered an enlivener on the front of the dial. The darkey, who was by no means idle, also put in a hot- un with the same mawley. The men hav- ing now thoroughly shaken off their caution went to work in a resolute and determined manner, and in a rally fought left and right in all parts of the ring ; Wormald in this spirited two- handed fighting getting the left on the kisser with such stinging force that he produced the crimson, so that first blood was claimed and admitted. The men closed at the ropes, when after a strug- gle, in which Joe tried to put in the back heel, they went to grass. 2. A fine round. No sooner had the men come from their cor- ners than at it they went iu a regular ding- dong style. The hit- ting with both mawleys was wild, and at times not delivered with true judgment and measure, but was nevertheless of a lively telling description ; darkey in the exchanges getting on the top part of the brain canister with the left, and with the right doing execution on the left side of the pimple. Joe made effectual use of the left on the right cheek, making his man's ogle several shades deeper. As Joe drew from his antagonist with rapid ac- tion to make a fresh disposition he nearly lost his equilibrium, but recovering on the instant he steadied himself, met the darkey as he followed up, and put in a stinger full on the dial, hitting over the guard. After a pause the men again went rattling away in the most determined manner, getting in this heavy can- nonade here and there in all parts of the ring until they closed in the centre, when the black in clever style back- heeled his man ; Joe, finding there was nothing for it but to yield to the pressure, was under in rather a heavy fall. 3. The black not to distance with the left, when as he drew back Joe closed up and brought him well within range, and after some mutual exchanges, in which each did execution with the left, Joe again hitting over his antagonist's right cross guard, which was not sufficiently high, they got in all parts of the ring. Having after a pause got once more together, Joe delivered a left- hander on the right cheek, and then drew from distance. The darkey, however, followed, and with a half spring closed with his man, when Joe got him in the right arm, and the ebony hero got from his man, and both fell at the ropes. 4. After some mutual " dottings," delivered with more spirit than skill, the men got well together, and in a regular ding- dong fashion fought with both mawleys, in which the darkey had un- questionably a shade the best of the hitting; the men in their rapid movements crossed the ring, when Wormald went down at the ropes ( 31 minutes). 5. Joe took the initiative Jout of distance, with the left, just by a mere shave missing a stinger. As the darkey shitted, Wormald by a corresponding move shortened the perspective, and having weaved well in planted the right on the body. The men got across the ring, and after some heavy exchanges, Joe getting home the left on the right cheek and doing duty with the right on the top of the brainpan, the darkey, who had his back on the top rope, and was consequently somewhat hampered, delivering the mixture with the left on the forehead and jaw and with the right on the left side of the knowledge box, they closed, when Wormald fell at the stake. 6. On coming up the darkey's seconds demanded an inspection of Joe's mawleys, but made nothing by the move. The darkey dashed out the left, and delivered a stinger full on the dial, caus- ing Wormald to shake his nob with a knowing action. The men now in a rapid and determined manner fought with both mawleys to a close, and in the fall they went down in Joe's corner. 7. After some exchanges, the darkey in a stinging cross counter got on the left peeper with great force. As Joe drew out and steadied himself from the effect of this fine shot his antagonist followed to force the points, and finding the gallant big- un by no means loath for action, at it they went in the most resolute man- ner, fighting left and right in all parts of the ring, until Wormald, when near the ropes, got from his man and went down. 8. The men in a wild, scrambling rally, in which they did little execution from the want of steadiness and precision, closed in the middle of the ring, when the darkey was under in the fall. 9. Darkey home a fine left- hander on the snout. In a fine ani- mating struggle they fought left and right to the darkey's corner, when they closed, and in getting from an awkward posi- tion the ebony chief went down, Joe, as a finish, falling over him. 10. The black's right peeper fast closing, while Joe's left bore unmistakable proof of the effect produced by a well- laid- on coating of knuckle polish. After fighting to a close, Joe got his man well with the right arm screw, when the darkey, finding he was in an awkward position, broke from his opponent, and went down in Wormald's corner. 11. Joe, who led, delivered a stinger from the left on the nasal organ; as he just made a slight variation in position the darkey got well to measure, and with a fine left- handed cross- counter administered a slashing hit on the left peeper, cutting it in an ugly fashion, producing a copious supply of the crimson. On the instant, to follow up the advantage, he went dashing at his man, and in a really spirited manner they fought to a close, when the black got down, Joe falling on him. Bos appealed, but the referee took no notice, and properly so. 12. Another fine round. The darkey home another tre- mendous left- hander on the damaged peeper, and Joe went stag gering back. Pulling himself together on the instant, they fought until both went down. We have thus far described the rounds of this unflinching con- test, so that some opinion may be formed of the merits of the bel- ligerents. As the battle progressed, so did the contest become more and more exciting from the various changes that were inci- dent to it; for now the tide would appear to have set strongly in favour of the big- un, then again the darkey, from some notable punishment administered in the terrific rallies, would for the mo- ment become in the ascendant. In the 41st round the darkey sent his man to grass with a fine right- hander, thus gaining the first knock- down blow, and his friends, as he was taken to his corner, hailed him with deafening cheers. Joe's left peeper was now entirely closed, and the darkey's right was likewise nearly gone, although from the attention of his seconds it was prevented from going quite up. There were in the whole 113 gallant rounds fought, occupying four hours and twenty- five minutes, when as it was now quite dark, and there being no possible chance of a finish, the referee got into the ring and ordered the men to suspend hostilities, and as there was no desire for the men to renew the contest the next day, it being properly considered that the game fellows had already done enough, their backers agreed to draw. REMARKS. For a novice Wormald is, we unhesitatingly state, one of the most promising men that has come under our notice for some time. Let not, however, the praise of his friends and the good name he has gained cause him to lose sight of the fact that he has yet much to learn, for towards the close of this game affair we noticed that he several times hit open- handed, and this will account for the fact of his blows not making that impression that they otherwise would have done; for had this been the case, there weife moments in this tourney when the black was so much dis- tressed that a little would have given the coup de grace. The black in point of courage has agreeably deceived all, for the general im- pression was that he was by no means a kill devil. He fought this battle remarkably well, and although he has still much to acquire before he can be regarded as a scientific boxer, yet he has so much improved in this respect since be met Owen Lee, that there can be no doubt he is likely to be taken notice of by the " king" of a very strong division. His friends freely admit that they were astonished, knowing how bad he was, that he could fight so long; and really the manner in which by the aid of his seconds he was enabled to pull himself together, gave proof that he is endowed with an excellent constitution. There were many appeals made during the contest which were completely overruled, and we think it only right to say that the referee discharged his duties in a most fair and impartial manner. THE £ 2,000 MATCH. TOM KING AND JACK HEENAN.— The Benicia Boy and Tom King must again be prepared to post £ 50 each on Thursday, June 4, the house appointed for the ceremony being that of Bob Tra- vers. the Sun and Thirteen Cantons, Castle- street, Leicester- square, where we have no doubt Bob will be surrounded by troops of friends. FIGHT FOR £ 25 A SIDE BETWEEN CHARLEY BALL of HULL AND YOUNG CHARLEY TURNER OF NORWICH.— These men met on Wednesday, May 27, at Stallingboro' Kilns, near Hull, at 8st 81b. Both have before appeared in the ring, though with in- different success. The fight took place about three miles from Grimsby, and after having gained first blood and held the lead throughout 10 rounds, which occupied 20 minutes, Ball was de- clared the winner. Turner's easy defeat was mainly through his thorough want of condition, which is attributed to his having in- jured himself severely during the early part of his training, which almost precluded the possibility of his being able to get to weight; he is a straightforward deserving lad, and as game as a pebble, and we hope his friends will not desert him. Ball, the winner, was in fine fettle, and from the manner in which he has acquitted himself, we have no doubt he will have gained a host of friends. He was seconded by Kelly of Bradford and Godfrey of Hull, and backed from Ted Brown's," the Leeds Arms, High- street, Hull. Turner was seconded by Bill Blythe of Norwich and an old pugilist, and was backed for the present event from Bill Corp's, the Sheffield Arms, Hull. The money shall be sent to Charley Ball, at Mr Brown's, Leeds Arms, High- street, Hull. RICHARDSON AND BLACKMAN.— These men, who are quite un- known to fame, met on Monday, May 25, on the heme circuit, for £ 10 a side.

There were in the whole thirty- five rough and ready, but still spirited, rounds fought in one hour and ten minutes, when Richardson, who had had the lead from the commencement, was hailed the winner. DURKIN AND MORRIS.— We are informed these lads fought near Wigan on Tuesday, May 19, for £ 5 a side, and the friends of Morris declare that after thirty- two rounds and 48 minutes the referee decided in favour of Morris; while Durkin and his friends represent that the boot was on the other leg. We have nothing from the referee, so that we cannot decide who is entitled to the money. SWADDY REECE OF BRISTOL AND T.

Burn died on Friday morning, after a long and painful illness, at the Rising Sun, Air- street, Piccadilly. Jem was born March 15., 1804, so that he was only in his sixtieth year. For many years, when landlord of the Queen's Head, Crown- court, Jem was the recognised agent of all the aristocratic patrons of the pugilistic art, and his house was their regular rendezvous. On his removal to Air- street, such of his old friends as remained still lent him their countenance, and for a brief period even here his hostelrie was regarded as the chief West- End house of call for boxers. AT length, however, his own failing health, and the gradual loss, by death, & c, of his staunchest admirers, induced old Jem to give up his connection with the Fancy, and for some years he has taken no active part in pugilistic matters. His name, how- ever, will long live in the memories of the few survivors of that band of good fellows who, for so many years, followed the lead of " my nevy," as old Bob Burn used to call him, and who, although perhaps now beyond the age at which men take a delight in actual practice with the mawleys, are still deeply in- terested in everything connected with the art, and are still willing to lend their countenance to the sport, without risking their safety or their comfort at the ring ride, as one must too frequently do in these days, when the members of the fraternity themselves show such a lukewarmness towards those patrons whose conve- nience and pleasure were at all times the study of such men as poop Old Jem, the late Tom Spring, Owen Swift, and other good and true boxers, who felt that the true interests of pugilism were best forwarded by studying the wishes and the happiness of those from whom alone the only valuable support of the profession could be derived. Jem Burn, in his best day, weighed 12st 81b, and stood about 5ft llin. He fought many game battles, but, on the whole, his career in theP. R. was unfortunate. His game, however, stood him in good stead, and this, combined with his love of fun and his ready and obliging manners, procured him hosts of friends, through whose patronage he was able through life to hold his own, and to maintain that position which he enjoyed till his death.

The last four men left in to contend were Blade ( D), Conway ( D), S. Haywood ( D), T. Haywood ( D). Slade and S. Haywood had a long bout of one hour and 27 minutes; the latter at last was thrown by the heel. Conway threw Haywood in ten minntes cleverly by the inlock. Conway and Slade contended for the first and second prizes. On the bout for the cup great interest was taken. The men entered and wrestled smartly for about five minutes, when, to the surprise as well as disappointment of all the spectators, they both agreed to toss, which was won by Blade. At the giving « p of the prizes the manager, J. Tvuscott. denounced the disgraceful conduct of the laiter two men. Blade's excuse was that while wrestling Haywood he was injured in his side, which was true, no doubt. After a great deal of chaff each man staked £ 1, to wrestle for £ 10. To come off' at a future time. The first prize of £ 3 and the cup was given to Slade, second (£ 2) to James Conway, and £ 1 each was given to each of the Hay woods, the other men receiving 10s each, and all the standards 5s each. HORNSEY WOOD HOUSE.— On Monday, May 25, there was, in addition to the shooting, an account of which will be found in an- other column, wrestling in the Cumberland and Westmoreland style, which in the final fall left Jamieson and Dixoa to contend for supremacy, when Jamieson proved the winner. The pole leaping was contested by Jamieson, Baines, Watts, F. Robinsan, and Cooper, when after some fine sport the celebrated Jamieson again proved the winner, clearing 9ft.

THE M& MHEAD YEARLINGS— THl SWALCLIFFE YEARLINGS With a fine summer's morning, ' ife ' Agreeable contrast to the • wind^ nd the rain of the week, and a peasant drive of some three or fair miles from Hyde Park- ccrtier, Messrs Tattersall's sum* moas to Stockwell on Saturday, May 23, should have brought together a better company. There was indeed a more substantial reason to offer as some inducement for a larger attendance, as the Mamhead yearlings especially were a very good- looking lot, while Mr Gulliver's sample included two or three plums to pick from. The Gemma di Vergys, however, have not yet fulfilled their promise as race horses, and the Bwalcliffes were chiefly by un- tried stallions, causes that may go far to account for the compa- ratively little interest evinced at a time when town is so full. Still Mr Nay lor had some winning money to lay out, and his carriage was conspicuous as the only one drawn up by the side of the ring; tenanted as it was by the Hooton Squire himself, easily distinguishable by the red and yellow favours saucily twisted into his button- hole, and backed of course by his faithful ally, the veteran Captain White, who did the bidding when anything clever came up. A look through the boxes went at once to assure us that Gemma had not lost the character we gave him on going over Mamhead a year or two since, as some of his get were more commendable than ever tor that happy association of good looks and useful qualities, and it will yet surprise us if his stock do not run. They were certainly brought up to Stockwell in wonderful form, and, if anything, rather overdone in way of good living, one filly in particular being positively disfigured with fat. There is a limit even to for- cing young things, which look none the better for being so full of flesh, and we trust by another year to find that the really blood- like frames of the young Gemmas have not been so carefully loaded with beef— hard though their crests may handle, and good as their action may be, nevertheless. The sale opened flatly enough with the ottering of three yearlings by Adamas, all of • which carried something of his elegant style about them, but they • went for what anybody would give, and that was not much. The first of the Devonians was The Star, a colt noticeable far a curious mark over the elbow, and an almost disfigured shoulder, but other- wise neat enough, and a good bred one on all sides. His successor in the circle, Roderick Random, a great, fine- grown colt, with big bone, and a deal of substance and power about. him, went a far cheaper horse than was expected, and so far business did not look very promising. This aspect was not im- proved when a Loup Garou filly, full of quality, and very true in her make and shape, was knocked down, after some dwelling and coaxing, for 60 ; a big- limbed, plain colt called Keepsake follow- ing her at rather a better figure. But things took a turn when Icicle, by Oulston, was introduced, a really beautiful blood- like filly to look over, with lots of length, size, and style about her ; but very remarkable for a peculiar knuckling er twisting of her hind pasterns, the off one more especially, and with rather a ring- bony tendency all round, whilst a very ominous cough occa- sionally reminded one of the sort she came of. Mr Nay lor, however had made his mind up, and she fell to him for 300gs. Sweet Home, a common - looking one, with middling shoulders, and as fat as a prize heifer, realised a fifty, which could hardly pay for her keep; and then came The Swift, by Gemma di Vergy out of Lady Audley, by Pantaloon, declared by many to be the flower of the flock, and certainly a magnificent upstanding colt, with all the makings of a race horse about him. He gave some taste of this earlier in the day, when he broke away from the man leading him, and took three or four turns round the paddock with the cavesson dangling at his heels— rather a trying sight for Sir Lydston ; but he was cleverly caught, and faced Mr Edmund none the worse for his gallop. Woolcot's nod at four hundred eventually secured him, and a pretty general opinion was expressed that this would be the top price of the lot. We had ourselves, however, gone for another in our first stroll round, a roan colt known as the Gay Deceiver, by Gemma di Vergy out of Deceptive, by Venison, and as handsome as any gay deceiver need to be. With a sweet head and neck, great limbs, good depth, fine shoulders, and rare quarters, the roan is a compact horse without being a shert one. He is, indeed, altogether as perfect a specimen of the thorough bred colt as a man tfould wish to see, showing a deal of the Venison or Defence, and- a better bargain to Mr Naylor for 650gs than the ladylike chesnut at afewhundredsless. The Lilyof Devon, a good- looking filly enough, and My Fancy, a speedy springy one, were given away after some persuasion, but the tender- looking fore- legs and small bone of Hoops told more warrantably against her making money ; whereas The Dream, a sneaking like- ness to Prioress, was cheap at all her hundred, and Wild Rasp- berry, with 110 question as to her being really a Gemma, had length and looks enough to make ten times the miserable thirty she went for. If there was a bargain Captain Lamb had it here. Lop Ear, a colt born with one ear hanging over his eye, and sadly in need of cropping, was further disfigured by an ugly scratch on his hind- leg, or otherwise he was a very neat nag, though not so siezeable as some of the others, who spoke well for the way in • which they can grow young thorough breds down in Devonshire, if only with a little moderation in their method. Some of the Mamhead yearlings are already engaged about the country, and nine of them in the Great Devonshire Produce Stakes, so that the best are sure to come together again in after proof of the price list. The fourteen realised 2,421gs, at an average of 173gs each ; • while in 1862 twelve made 2,313gs, at about 193gs; and at the first sale in 1861 eight brought £ 1,640, at 205 all round. Mr Gulliver's lot were not so much made up, but a great, well grown colt by Ethelbert commanded a deal of attention on the early parade, and to our notion was the best of the bunch. A white legged, bad coloured chesnut by Idle Boy, however, made more money, and is a very smart colt, with more show than the other, plenty of substance and very blood- like in his character; while the Cavendish colt is wonderfully level and true through, and the Lord of the Isles sample were bound to be good looking, if a trifle light and flashy. Two or three trumps here again saved the sale, with business getting still flatter as the company thinned, and more than half of Mr Head's things sent back without a bid. The ten S walcliffes actually disposed of brought l, S63gs at 156gs a ^ THE PROPERTY OF A GENTLEMAN DISCONTINUING. BREEDING. Gs.

The specie movement has not been par- ticularly favourable, owing to the limited arrivals and the demand for gold to send to the Continent, and for silver to transmit to the East. Trade has remained without any particular change, but the favourable traffic returns of the principal railways and other statistics show that the general operations of the United Kingdom are exceedingly large, and will bear satisfactory com- parison with some of the most prosperous years. At the Stock Exchange the foreign market has been the centre of attraction, extensive dealings being daily recorded in the favourite descrip- tions, such as Turkish Consolides, Spanish and Greek Bonds. Shares have teaded upwards, and the funds have continued firm, Consols having closed every day at 83£ | for money, and at 92i less: the dividend for the account. During the past week basiness in the Foreign Stock Market continued active, and prices generally exhibited increased buoy- ancy. - Greek Bonds improved about 2 per cent, Mexican Stock Spanish Passive Bonds If, old the Certificates 1. Old Turkish Six per Cents advanced 1, the Loan of 1S58 1, the Loan of 1662 li. and the Consolides If to If. The transactions in the Raii way Share Market during the week were moderately active. Theoettlenent of the account, however, occupied the principal attention of the dealers and speculators. Prices, owiz g to the very favourable traffic ssturns, have gene- rally shown an upward movement, Brighton, and London, Chat- ham, and Dover have improved 10s, Great Western, Great Eastern, South Western, and Soufch Eastern £ 1, Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and North Eastern .( Berwick) £ 1 10s, Caledonian and Midland £ 8, and North Western £ 2 5s. The Foreign tad Colonial lines remained inactive, aad little change of importgnce can be reported. Joint Stock Bask and Miscellaneous shares were in good de- mand at . enhanced . ralues. City Bank have improved abotifc £ 8, Bank of " Condon life, London Joiat Stock 10s, Union of London 5 s, Crystal Palace Stock 10s, while Royal Mail Steam have de- clined 10s. SATURDAY EVENING. The Funds to- day have remained steady. Consols closed sfc 93f 93f for mouey and 92| : i2| for the account, less the dividend. In the Foreign Market there has been little variation of im- portance.

MAY 25 AND 26.— On Monday last Lord's Ground rcontained a ring of upwards of six thousand spectators to witness the annual contest between the All England and United Elevens, for the benefit of the Cricketers' Fund, which, we regret to say, does not seem to be so prosperous as it might. The first of these matches was played in 1857, and since then they have been played with the following results :— lst 2d inn. inn. June 1,1857, Lord's.

By the above it will be seen that thirteen matches have been played; the All England Eleven has won six, the United ( with this) five, and two have been drawn. To proceed to the business of the day, we may first state that the ground was in a most wretched state, and consequently we shall not be required to enter into long details of the play, which generally was of a " flukey" description; these remarks are borne out by the fact that a com- mittee meeting was held in the pavilion on Monday, on the sub- ject of the bad condition of the ground, and, we believe, it was decided that umpires should be engaged something like a week before any match is to be played, to see that proper wickets are se- cured. As a matter of course Law X was much talked of; in fact, was almost the only subject of conversation among the large concourse present. Before a ball was bowled, and when the United won the toss, and the All England men made their appearance in the field, it was often asked " will Willsher be called?" George Chatter ton and George Lee— an excellent choice— were selected for the post of umpires, one especially onerous under the circumstances. A large marquee was erected on the ground, and Mr Day ap peared to give general satisfaction. The telegraph board was a great annoyance, not only to the printing tent, but the public generally, who occupied places on the hill. After some consider- able delay in procuring a wicket, the bell rang to clear the ground, and Hearne and Grundy appeared with their " willows"— time half- past twelve o'clock! Thebettingwas6to4ontheAU England, which was taken pretty freely, Rowing to the uncertainty of the ground. Jackson started— Lee behind him— first ball, fair, as he always was; second, the ball was driven back into his hands; thus the Middlesex player had to resign for a duck's egg. Mort- lock then stepped forward, and at the first ball made a good square leg- hit from Jackson for three. Much excitement now prevailed, as the ball was tossed to Willsher— Chatterton behind him. The first ball delivered gave sufficient proof that he was not breaking the laws of the Marylebone Club ; he was quite low, and no doubt lower than we shall see him again. He was also straight, in fact, " all there,'' for his first six overs were maidens, and he secured two wickets; this must have been most gratifying to the renowned Kent bowler and his friends. The pace was also tremendous, The second wicket fell for 6, as did also the third ( Grundy's). The fourth ( Caffyn's) went for 12, while the fifth ( Newman's) fell for 16! Carpenter running off his ground, and making two fours ( a drive and a leg- hit from Jackson). 3 to 1 was here laid on the All England. Griffith came and " welted" a bit, but both he and Carpenter had to succumb to Willsher— the sixth wicket falling for 45 runs, and the seventh for 56. Carpenter made a magnificent drive from Willsher for five, and two from Jackson for fours. Iddison also played a plucky innings, and was, like Carpenter, frequently applauded; his innings comprised three fours, a three, a two, and singles. Lockyer followed up the fast playing game, and then succeeded in bringing out his bat, making 14, by two threes two twos, & c. Iddison's, the eighth wicket, fell for 86 runs, and the ninth ( Atkinson's) for 101. The item of " bj'es" will show the nature of the ground. The innings lasted one hour and three- quarters only, and it will be seen that Jackson victimised seven out of the ten. After the lapse of a quarter of an hour, the two fast bowlers, Jackson and Tarrant, made their appearance to the bowling of Atkinson and Griffith— a good piece of judgment on the part of Lockyer ( the captain), who put this left- handed bowler on against the hill. They both bowled splendidly. The second over of Atkinson's disposed of Jackson, and in Griffith's sixth Stephenson had to pay the penalty of a bad wicket; thus, the first wicket went for 3 runs, and the second for 12. Tarrant had to follow; total, 18 runs. Daft could not look at Griffith— not his the fault; four wickets for 29 runs. Betting even, and a large amount was speculated just at this period of the game. Hayward played Carpenter's game— rough and ready— and made up 30 runs by four fours, a three, a two, and singles; his, the fifth wicket, went for 52 runs, and the sixth ( George Parr's, who was anywhere but at home) for 60 runs. Alfred Clarke went the seventh wicket total, 65 runs. Tinley soon departed; total, 69 runs. The ninth was Julius, who, as usual, played a plucky innings, making two fours ( cut and a drive), a two, and singles ; total, 75 runs. 6 to 4 was now freely laid on the United. Wootton could not stop with Willsher sufficiently long enough to rub off the runs obtained by the United, being 17 in minority. Griffith had the ground to suit him, and Atkinson was " all there." Neither of them were changed during the innings. Carpenter's catches at point were clever. The United started their second innings by sending in Mortlock arid Hearne, and that evening the former lost his wicket, getting his leg before it. When the stumps were drawn, one wicket had been disposed of for 47 runs, or 64 on. Betting: 6 to 4 on the United. Hearne ( not out) 20 runs, and Iddison ( not out) 10 runs. TUESDAY.— Iddison and Hearne resumed their places, and with a fair amount of luck stopped long enough to bring on Hayward at Jackson's end, whose third ball got Iddison caught in the slip; liis figures comprised a four, four twos, and singles; two wickets had now fallen for 66 runs. Griffith followed, and having made a slashing drive from Hayward for 4, he was settled by the Notts left- handed bowler; total 74. Hearne gave a " skyer" to Will- sher at cover point; his figures were a five ( drive), two fours ( drives from Jackson), five threes, a two, and singles; four wickets for 115 runs. The fifth was Carpenter, who, in his inn- ings, made splendid drives from Wootton for a five and a four, also one from Hayward to the pavilion; the remainder of his figures were a three, two twos, and singles; five wickets were now down for 129 runs, or 148 on, and .3 to 1 was freely offered on the United. Caffyn soon retired; six down for 130. Grundy also departed immediately, after playing the first ball, caught well at mid- wicket; seven for 130. Newman, a young player from Cambridge, puzzled by the wickets, soon made his bow; eight for 136. Atkinson stopped with Lockyer until 147 was reached— the renowned wicket- keeper playing a fast game, and eventually again bringing out his bat for 24, ob- tained in a plucky manner by two fours, a three, two twos, and singles. See " extras" again! This innings was concluded at half- past two o'clock for a total of 150, or 168 to win. Betting : 3 to 1 on the United. After the dinner All England commenced their second innings by sending in Willsher and C< esar to the bowling of Griffith and Atkinson as before. Griffith's third over secured Julius's, and the fourth sent the Kent bowler back to his dressing- room; thus the first fell for 8 runs, and the second for 9. Stephenson and Hayward then got in and ran up the score to 52, when a change of bowling was thought about. Stephenson, however, in hitting round to the leg gave long- leg a chance, which was accepted by Newman, he playing a bold innings of 26, composed of a four, four threes, three twos, & e. Hayward followed the next over— total the same, 52, and four wickets down. Daft went in to hit, as his comrades had done before him, and was caught by " skying" to short leg. Five down for 73 runs. Parr was caught by long- stop, the total being 75. The seventh went for 81 ( Jackson's), and eighth ( Tarrant's) for 96. Hodgson aud Caffyn were now brought on, and both bowled well. Only one more run was got, and thus the match terminated in favour of the United by 70 runs. The bowl- ing as regards Law X appeared to give general satisfaction, al- though it was not - strictly enforced in one or two cases. The match terminated at ten minutes to six o'clock on Tuesday, and when they next meet we hope they will play upon a better wicket.

How is this to be accounted for ? Was it owing to the condition of the ground ? Perhaps some of yeur numerous readers will be able to explain it. I can hardly think that the strict enforcement of Law No. 10 could have made any material difference.— Yours, & c, A SPECTATOR.

MR EDITOR : Please allow me the favour of the use of your columns in order to put myself right with the public with regard to my issuing the Spring Edition of the Guide, which contained the new alteration of Law XXIV. ( leg b w). Iticas passedandde- clared by the chairman to have been won by a majority of two. In consequence of this, I immediately telegraphed the news to my printer, who was waiting on purpose to go to press, and by the time the committee of the M. C. C. ( the following Wednesday, without any public notice) had declared the motion null and void several hundreds of Guides were on their road to Australia, India, America, and other parts of the globe. I thus write to put myself right with the public, especially abroad, as it is no fault whatever of mine. Your readers will, doubtless, perfectly under- stand that the law stands as it originally did, and no alteration whatever took place at the announced meeting on April 15 last.— Yours, & c, FRED. LILLYWHITE. 15, the Oval, Kennington. THE VETERAN TOM SEWELL.— Our readers, no doubt, are aware that the Surrey Club attempted to give this old and de- serving cricketer a good match for his benefit, and, at first, se- lected that of the Two Elevens of England— Sewell being one of the originals of the old All England. However, the match now arranged is Surrey v Middlesex, and we know the Surrey Club, Mr John Walker, Mr F. P. Miller, ap. d their numerous friends will do their utmost to make it successful. The match is on the 24th of August. On Tuesday, May 26, the Higham Ferrers club played their first match this season with Eaund's club on the Recreation Ground, Higham Ferrers, when after a most spirited game, the former came off victorious with 150 runs to spare, though having to contend against the bowling of I. Spencer. Score: Higham Ferrers 47 aud 156, Raunds 25 and 28. UPPINGHAM SCHOOL.— The grand annual match between the Old v Present School has been fixed for Tuesday and Wednes- day, Aug 25 and 26. WEST INDIA MAIL. The Tasmania arrived at Southampton on Thursday, with news from St Thomas's to the 14th inst. It appears that seven Federal vessels of war were then lying in that harbour, compos- ing the squadron of Admiral Wilkes, who evidently intended making St Thomas the centre of operations in the West Indian seas, regardless of the fact that St Thomas is a possession of the Danish Crown. The Wachusett was to all intents and purposes the guard- ship, and remained at St Thomas during the cruisings of the other vessels, always having steam up in readiness to over- haul any vessel leaving the harbour, and otherwise to annoy ship- ping leaving the port. The ship of war Gemsbok had been dis- mantled and made a stationary coal- liulk. Four vessels with coal were there from the States supplying the fleet. Other stores for the Federal squadron were to follow. Much discontent prevailed on this subject. The Colonial Government was much embarrassed by the extraordinary acts of Admiral Wilkes, and it was expected that the Danish Government will energetically remonstrate with the Federal Government against the aggression of their officer. The Jamaica Legislature had been prorogued by the Lieutenant- Governor in ths absence of Sir C. Darling. In accordance with the act which has been passed, the fortifications were to be placed in an efficient state. Total..,. ...- 92 Total - 97 ANALYSIS Of TLtE BOWLING.

It was found at Croydon that the train, though not heavily freighted, was considerably behind its time ; and, in order to make up for this lateness, the driver put on the steam at a pressure so excessive as to cause the boiler to burst, and the engine to leave the rails, dragging with it in its descent down an embanked part of the line between Streatham and Balham the entire train. The engine driver was so much injured that he is not expected to survive ; but perhaps the most melancholy part of the sad havoc committed occurred to between 30 and 40 of the Grenadier Guards, two companies of which regiment, with their officers, Colonels Keppell and Burnaby, Captain Norton, Lieu- tenant Trotter, and Quartermaster Collins, in all 150 strong, were returning from their periodical rifle praciice at Eastbourne. On examining the shattered train two of the Guards were discovered to have been killed, and some thirty others were ex- tricated with great difficulty and more or less wounded. Several civilians in the train also suffered severely. One lady, a Mrs Silver, daughter of Sir James Clark, was found dead; and another lady, unknown, lies without hope of recovery. The line was torn up in every direction. As soon as the occurrence was telegraphed to the metropolis a speeial train was despatched from the Victoria station with Mr Hawkins, the manager of tfee London and Brighton line; Mr Francis, superintendent, and the medical and general staff. With this reinforcement, which arrived within twenty minutes of the accident, all the sufferers were extricated, and those soldiers and civilians who could bear to be removed were at on « e brought on by the speeial train to the Victoria sta- tion. Twenty- eight of the Guards were taken to ths Guards' Hospital, in Rochester- row, under the superintendence of Dr Lane, the house- surgeon; Sergeant Rushton, the steward; and others. The officers in command escaped unhurt. CANA DIAN SPORTING PAPER.— We have just received the first • number of a sporting paper published at Toronto on the 13th inst.

NEW YORK, MAY 20 ( MORNING). General Grant occupied Jackson, Mississippi, in the rear of Vicksburg, on the 14th inst, having previously had a brisk fight at Raymond and Mississippi Springs, driving the Confederates from those places towards Jackson. The State Capitol at Jackson was burnt. Despatches from General Grant state that the Confederates had evacuated Vicksburg, and that the entire Confederate force was moving northwards to reinforce General Bragg, for the purpose of attacking Rosecrans. Federal reinforcements would be thrown forward to intercept the Confederate movement, and strengthen Rosecrans. General Joseph J ohnstone commands the Confede- rates who are moving from Vicksburg. Seventeen thousand Confederates, with fourteen pieces of artil" lery, are reported to have crossed the Cumberland River and ad' vanced on Richmond, Kentucky, with the view of flanking Bosen- crans and compelling him to abandon his position at Murfrees- borougb. Twenty- eight Confederate regiments are stated to be at Norris Town, East Tennessee, for the same purpose. This report is not credited in Louisville, but believed to be set afloat to prevent the Federals reinforcing General Rosencrans or invading East Tennessee. The press continue unanimous in denouncing Mr Vallandig- ham's arrest. In consequence of the determination of the Confederate Govern- ment not to regard negro troops or their officers as prisoners of war, the coloured people of Washington have petitioned President Lincoln to adopt retaliatory measures. Official instructions have been issued to the officers of the Federal army that foreign consuls in the enemy's country will be subjected to martial law only in cases of urgent necessity. Any delinquency the consuls commit against the established military rule may be punished, as in the case of other inhabitants. Such punishment furnishes no reasonable ground for international complaint. THE RIOT AT CREMORNE- To- day, at Westminster, Reginald Herbert John Birkett, John Edward Saville, John Herbert Shawcross, Charles Mott, and Chas. Evan M'Dougal were charged on remand with being concerned in a riot at Cremorne on " the Oaks" night, breaking glasses, as- saulting the police and waiters, and other acts of disturbance and disorder.— Mr Sleigh attended to prosecute, and the prisoner ® were defended by counsel.— A number of witnesses were exa. mined to prove the extent of tfce disturbance, and that the pri- soners joined in the general riot.— The counsel for some of the prisoners endeavoured to prove an alibi.— At a late hour in the afternoon the further investigation of the case was adjourned till Monday.— Some of the prisoners were admitted to bail in £ 100> the recognisances of M'Dougal and Shawcross being increased to £ 150. SERIOUS CHARGE OF STABBING- To- day, at the Southwark police court, William Cavanagh, was charged with stabbing Thomas West with a table knife. The prisoner and the prosecutor had been drinking together at a public- house, and a quarrel having arisen between them, they came to blows, and the prisoner gave the prosecutor three severe wounds in the side with a table knife.— The prosecutor begged the magistrate to let the prisoner go, as he was not much injured. He believed it was done by an accident, and when not drunk they were the best of friends.— The magistrate said this was a serious offence, and he should not be doing his duty unless he sent the prisoner for trial. The use of the knife was a most un- English practice, and must be put a stop to.— Committed for trial. Viction mentioned ; and that there was not sufficient evidence for thatpurpose. The respondent's points against the conviction were—• that it was not necessary for the respondent to pri re an actual trespass on the land of Mr Birch in pursuit of game, and that it was enough to give evidence from which such an actual trespass might be inferred if the magistrates thought it right so to infer. That the magistrates were entitled, if they thought fit, to infer from the facts in evidence that the game in the cartwas the produce of a tres- pass on some land in pursuit of game, and therefore of a trespass on the land which they found to have been trespassed on. That the 2otli and 26th Victoria, cap 114, does not require proof of actual trespass, but only the finding of the article, posses- sion of which may be unlawful. That presumptive evi- dence of guilt is sufficient under the statute unless rebutted. That in this case there was presumptive evidence, the appellant not proving his statement, that the game first found was given to him, not accounting in any way for that secondly found, not accounting for his having been in the bye roads, and not accounting for his cart having been against Mr Birch's plantation without any one in it.— The Lord Chief Justice observed that it could hardly be said that there was no evidence, considering the game that was found in the cart. It was quite another question whether the magistrates ought to have convicted, and that was not referred to the court; nor, indeed, could it be, assuming that there was any evidence. It was doubtful what it was the magistrates had sub- mitted to the court.— Mr JusticeWightman also remarked that all that the court could determine was, whetheror not there was any evidence which in strict law would warrant the conviction.— Mr Justice Blackburn observed that if all that was asked of the court was whether circumstantial evidence was sufficient to support a conviction under the Act, undoubtedly it was, for men were con- victed of murder upon such evidence. Whether upon the circum- stantial evidence ( assuming there was enough to warrant a convic- tion) the magistrates were satisfied, wasforthem, not for this court to determine, for it was a pure question of fact.— After some dis- cussion, the Lord Chief Justice said if the magistrates intended to ask the opinion of the court whether, under the circumstances they ought to have convicted, he, for his own part, should say that the evidence was too slight, though he could hardly say that there was none which in strict law would support a conviction. Con- sidering that the man was wooden- legged he could hardly have been actively engaged in the pursuit of game; although it was not unlikely that he had some connection with those who were. If, however, all that the magistrates desired to ask was, whether there must be positive proof that the party had been in pursuit of game, then the court had no difficulty in declaring, in accordance with their previous decisions, that such positive evidence was not necessary, and that the unlawful pursuit of game might be in- ferred from the possession of game, at such a time, at such a place, and under such circumstances as might fairly and reason- ably lead to that conclusion. Now, in this case it was left uncer- tain what question the magistrates had intended to submit to the court— whether there was any evidence to warrant a conviction, or whether, under the circumstances, they ought to have con- victed. This court could not entertain the latter question, al- though, for the guidance of the justices, he would say for himself thatlie should not have convicted upon this evidence. Upon the whole, the case had better go back to the magistrates to be re- stated, with that intimation of opinion.— The other judges concurred. GERMAN SAUSAGES AND SPICED BEEF- To- day, at Clerkenwell police court, Charles Moss, a German sausage manufacturer and spiced- beef maker, of 26, King- street, Clerkenwell, was charged for having in his possession a large quantity of beef which was quite unfit for human food. The meat was brought outside the court, but the stench arising from it was so bad that the magistrate ordered it to be taken away imme- diately and buried.— The defendant admitted the possession of the meat, but said it was warranted good when he bought it.— The magistrate considered this a very gross case, and fined the de- fendant £ 10. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS. THURSDAY.— THE MAIL PACKETS.— The house met after the recess, and on the report of the Committee of Supply, Mr WALPOLE called attention to what he considered to be an un- usual and novel form of proceeding adopted by the Committee of Supply on Monday week ( the 18th), in the vote for the packet service, which, he contended, was not consonant with the proper functions of a committee of supply; these functions being limited to the consideration of the amount of a grant proposed by a minister of the Crown, or to a proposal to reduce the amount. Although a matter of form, he insisted that this alteration of the functions of a committee of supply was most inconvenient; that it would change the relations of the two Houses of Parliament to each other and to the Crown, and lead to other consequences which he pointed out. He referred to circumstances stated in a petition from Mr Churchward in relation to his contract, which Mr Walpole maintained had a material bearing upon the vote, and upon the form in which it had been adopted by the committee, and which vote, he said, the Govern- ment ought to withdraw at once. In conclusion, he moved the omission of certain words in the resolution, the effect of which omission would be substantially to reject it. — The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was prepared to meet Mr Walpole upon the points both of form and of justice. The form of a vote, he contended, could not be separated from the question of its policy. He disputed the doctrine laid down by Mr Walpole as to the functions of a Committee of Supply. Although the form of the vote might not be common, the question was not whether the form was new, but whether the vote was good ; whether it was justified and required by the circumstances. Mr Walpole had speculated as to what might be done after the adoption of a vote in the present form, but none of these specu- lations would be realised as consequences of this vote.— Lord J. MANNERS, after remarking that the resolution of the Committee of Supply was wholly unprecedented, referred to parts of the evidence taken by the Select Committee on the subject of the charge against Mr Churchward, which he denounced as mon- strous and absurd, and he insisted upon the want of connection between the premiss and the conclusion in the report of the com- mittee as to this charge. In the event of Captain Carnegie's evidence being infallible, was a contract to be repudiated, h- asked, and Mr Churchward to be punished for an erroneous con elusion? If it was fallible the case broke down.— Mr LINDSA thought that, while the Government had rightly exonerated Lord Derby's Ministry from corrupt motives in this matter, there was an inconsistency in holding Mr Churchward to be corrupt. He was disposed to give his vote for the weaker party in favour of Mr Walpole's motion.— After some further conversation the house divided, and Mr Walpole's motion was rejected by 205 to 191. CHEAP TRAINS.— On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER a resolution was carried to the effect that the exemp- tion from duty granted by the act of the 7th and 8th of Victoria, chap 85, in respect of the conveyance of passengers by cheap trains, shall not extend to any railway train which shall not be a train running on at least six days of the week, or else a train run- ning to or from a market town on a market day, and approved of by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade and Plantations as a cheap train, for the conveyance of passengers to or from market. FRIDAY.— RECOGNITION OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES.— Mr ROEBUCK gave notice that on an early day he would move an address to the Crown, praying that Her Majesty would be graciously pleased to cause negotiations to be entered into with the European powers with a view to the negotiation of the independence of the Confederate States.— Lord ROBERT MON- TAGU gave notice that he would more an amendment to Mr Roe- buck's motion. CONVEYANCE OF TROOPS TO INDIA— Sir C. WOOD, in reply to Mr Torrens, said that the conveyance of troops by the overland route to and from India was under consideration, and that he was favourable to it. LADY INGLIS'S PENSION.— The Marquis of HARTINGTON, in reply to Col Dickson, said that the widow of the late Major- General Bir John Inglis, K. C. B., was in receipt of the largest pension allowed by the regulations, and that no application had beeen made for any special grant. THE EMPIRE OF TURKEY— On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr GREGORY called the attention of the house to the state of Turkey, and moved for certain papers which had net yet been laid before Parliament,.— The motion led to a long discussion, in which Mr LA YARD defended the Turkish Go- vernment, and contended that the Turks were the defenders of personal and general liberty in the Servian provinces, and that they were most anxious for the liberty and welfare of the S ervian people.— The discussion occupied the remainder of the evening. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THE NEW POACHING ACT.— In the Queen's Bench, on Wed- nesday, an appeal was heard against a conviction under the new Poaching Act, raising the important question, which has been already in two cases raised before this court and the Court of Common Pleas, as to the nature or extent of evidence sufficient to warrant the justices in convicting under that act. The question arises under the 2d clause of the act of last session, which runs thus:—" It shall be lawful for any constable er peace- officer in any county, borough, or place in* Great Britain and Ireland, in any highway, street, or public place, to search any person whom he may have good cause to suspect of coming from any land where he shall have been unlawfully in search or pursuit of game, or any person aiding or abetting such person, and having in his possession any game unlawfullj' obtained, or any gun, part of gun, er nets or engines used for the killing or taking game, and also to stop and search any cart or other conveyance in or upon which such constable or peace- officer shall have good cause to suspect that any such game or any such article or thing is being carried by any smch person, and should there be found any game or any such article or thing as aforesaid upon such person, cart, or other conveyance, to seize and detain such game, article, or thing; and such constable or peace- officer shall in such case apply to some justice of the peace for a summons citing such person to appear before two justices of the peace as- sembled in petty sessions; and if such person shall have obtained such game by unlawfully going on any land in search or pursuit of game, or shall have used any such article or thing as aforesaid for unlawfully killing or taking game, or shall have been accessory thereto, such person shall, on being convicted thereof, forfeit and pay any sum not exceeding £ 5, and shall forfeit such game, guns, < Stc." The facts on which the question now came be- fore the court were set forth as follow in a special case :— On the 11th day of November last, about three o'clock in the afternoon, the respondent and another constable, named Andrews, saw the appellant riding in a cart on a highway, on the Thetford side of Croxton. The respondent stopped the appellant, and asked him if he had got any game in his possession. Appellant said he had two or three rabbits. The respondent directed Andrews to search the cart. Andrews took from the back part of the cart a sack, which contained three rabbits. The respondent then asked the appellant how he came by them. He said, " A man gave them to me." Upon further search in the cart, against appellant's feet, another bag was taken from the cart, containing one hare, one rabbit, and one partridge. There were also some bones. The respondent asked the appellant how he came by them, and he made no reply. The appellant was seen on the said 11th day of November, and before he was so stopped on different bye roads in Wretham he was not seen on land off the road; but his cart was seen against a plantation, the property of Wirley Birch, Esq, without any one in it.; Jit was contended on the part of the ap- pellant that there was nothing whatever in the evidence to show that the appellant ever was on any land at all in search and pur- suit of game ; and that there was no evidence that the appellant unlawfully came into possession of the game. The legality of the respondent's conduct in stopping the cart, and searching it, and asking whether it contained game, was not disputed by the appellant or his attorney. The other question to decide, and the only one for the purpose of conviction was, whether the game found in the possession of Fuller was unlawfully in his possession. The question of law for the opinion of tlie court was whether to justify a coariction it was necessary for the respondent to prove the aetual trespassing of the appellant on Mr Birch's land in West Wretham in search or pursuit of game, and also to prove that the game found in and upon his cart was the game unlawfully ob- tained by such trespass. Upon this ease the magistrates convicted the man, and against that conviction he now appealed, and the a ppellant's points were— that there was no evidence before the justices upon which the conviction could lawfully be supported; tha t it was necessary to prove that the appellant had unlawfully obta. vned the game by jrclawfcilly going on the land in Uie cou- THE MARKETS CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE.- FBIDAT. Some of the markets held in tlie provinces during the week hare Bee ® very liberally supplied with Wheat; but at the majority of them the' quantity offered has scarcely been up te an average. On the whole the condition has been tolerably good. The trade generally lias had a firmer tone, and for the finest samples an occasional rise of Is per qr has been obtained. Barley much the same as noticed in our last. The Oat trade has to some extent been affected by the dull state of the London market, and many places are reduced 6d to Is. Beans have had an upward ten- dency ; bat Peas have been without alteration. Flour has been dull at declining prices. At Mark- lane this week the arrivals of home- grown Wheat, & c, have been very limited ; and, with the exception of another large Import of foreign Oats, the foreign arrivals of grain and Flour have been very moderate. The attendance of buyers being slack to- day, the Wheat trade was dull, without any change in value. The same may be said of all kinds of Flour.
