This company has been formed for the purpose of establishing a " through system" of hotel accommodation between London and Paris, and elsewhere, and all necessary powers have been secured in the Arti- cles of Association for carrying out this desirable object. The advantages of uniting under one management the French and English systems of an hotel business, combining the solid comforts of English life with the elegance and variety of French living, will be fully appreciated by the tourist and traveller, of both countries, and there is nothing that will more certainly secure the good opinion and patronage of the public, and at the same time increase the habit or desire for tra- velling than the knowledge that a similar and fixed tariff of charges can be depended upon throughout an entire route. Favourable arrangements have been made for the purchase of Meu- rice's Hotel, in Paris, and lirst- class hotels iu Boulogne and Folkestone, so that ail immediate and profitable business will be secured to the Company, and which their large capital and connections will enable them still further to increase from the very day they take possession of each separate establishment. Each proprietor agrees to take one- third of the purchase money in shares for the property sold bv him, and guarantees a six per cent, dividend for the first year on the" amount he receives. Portions of the purchase money of some of the properties can also remain on mortgage. For the London Establishment the Directors have been able to secure one of the most valuable and important freehold properties in the me- tropolis, terms of purchase having been concluded for that extensive mansion in St. James's- street, formerly known as Crockford's Club House, and a large portion of the adjoining property. Upon this ad- vantageous site it is intended to erect an hotel suitable in every respect to the requirements and importance of this undertaking, but until com- plete possession of the whole property can be obtained, the present rentals and returns will enable the proprietor to guarantee a minimum dividend to the shareholders of six per cent, on the amount of purchase money. Shareholders will therefore receive at least six per cent, for the first year on the amount paid up by them from date of allotment, and will be at liberty to anticipate calls by paying up in full. The full benefit to be derived from the system " en correspondance" will be thus offered to families and travellers, whether proceeding direct to either capital, or stopping at either port for the purposes of business, health, or recreation; and the discomfort and annoyance hitherto ex- perienced throughout a journey, arising from the different, manner in which different hotels are conducted, will be avoided; visitors will also be able to make their own arrangements In London or Paris, or at either establishment en route with the utmost confidence as to expense, and the full assurance of finding every domestic comfort to which they are accustomed. When fully organised, it is the intention of the directors to appoint couriers to accompany certain specified trains for the assistance of pas- sengers intending to stop at either of the hotels belonging to this com- pany. The protection thus afforded whilst travelling will not only materially tend to the comfort of ladies, families, and invalids, if alone, but will save visitors generally much trouble, and satisfy all as to the safety of their luggage, & c. As there will be a banking department in each hotel belonging to this company, the inconvenience and loss so generally experienced in the exchange of foreign money will be avoided. English aud foreign letters of credit will also be granted and negotiated. The business of an hotel when properly conducted, whether carried on by a public company or by private enterprise, is found to be highly remunerative, and the directors of this company believe that the present undertaking, which is commenced under peculiar advantages, will yield large profits upon the capital invested. Applications for shares, in the form attached to prospectus, should be addressed to the secretary, bankers, or brokers of the com- pany. A deposit of 10s. on each share applied for must be previously paid to the bankers, or at the office of ttie company in London or Paris, where the articles of association can be seen: and in the event of no allotment being made the deposit money will be returned in full.

The photogenic light has been publiclv exhibited in London for some months past to thousands of persons, including chemists, engineers, gas fitters, and large consumers, aad possesses the following advan- tages :— 1. That when atmospheric air is used, it can be made in anv house, costs less than ordinary gas, gives a whiter and more intense light, without smell or smoke, and is more healthv. 2. That it is not necessary to make anv " alterations in existing gas fittings, except in some cases with the burners; and that where no ser- vice at present exists, it will cost less to lay down the pipes, & c., Sec. 3. That in consequence of the absence of amoniacal and sulphurous acid vapours, it does not injure the paint, gilding, or furniture of apart- ments, and that it is inexplosive. 4. That when used to enricli and purify ordinary gas, an increased illuminating power of from 150 to 400 per cent, is obtained, while the consumption of the gas itself is diminished by at least one- fourth 5. That when used as last stated, in oraer to obtain a light equal to that of ordinary gas, the consumption of such gas is diminished by up- wards of 60 per cent., while the heat and other injurious effects arising from the use of gas are diminished In proportion. Bes'ond the amount to be paid to M. Mongruel for his patent and patent rights, no charge will be made for the formation of the company beyond tne actual preliminary expenses incurred therein. Prospectuses and forms of application may be obtained of the bankers, broker, and solicitor of the company, and at the company's offices, where any further desired information will be given.

" The whole series is full of humorous and really sportsmanlike character, being far the best thing of the kind that Phiz has ever put his name to. Spirited as liis sketches always are, the feeling for horses aud hounds was never previously so well expressed."— Bell's Life. LITERARY NOTICE. " HOW PIPPINS ENJOYED a DAY with the FOXHOUNDS." By PHIZ. Fores, Piccadilly. The enjoyment of a season or a month with foxhounds can be appre- ciated : the enjoyment of a day is often like that of bad health, at least questionable. In a series of 12 admirable sketches by Phiz, this truth is forcibly illustrated. Happy sportsmen, who take their gallop with the Quorn or Pvtchley as regularly as they swallow their breakfast, have no idea of the ills that are encountered by the chance votaries of St Hubert. Mr Hablot K. Browne has selected a lew for the exercise of his clever pencil; be it ours to furnish the readfer with a few words in explanation of these drawings, which, however, might almost be left to speak for themselvas. Plate 1. Going to the Meet.—" Enough to make any horse shy ( Pip- pins ungallantly thinks.)"— There are many men who, natural sportsmen, are pleased to discard the conventional, and adopt an originality in dress and manner in the Held— supposed to be a mark ef true genius. The creation of the limner is most undoubtedly one of these natural loversof the " nobie science:" and his blue knickerbockers and leather gaiters ought to have startled the field or frightened the fox quite as much as the amplitude of the female skirts has affected him un his way to the meet. A ride to tha meet is a great guarantee for safety; but if horses are not more accustomed to crinoline than the two guineas worth of Mr Pippins, the road to cover would not be likely to increase our sense of security. The member of the Round- hat Hunt, on the gray mare, may well wonder at the performance of our hero, or may be ex- cused for a protracted stare at the extraordinary figure which is the cause of so much undignified alarm in horse and rider. Plate 2. The Meet.—" Pippins congratulated on his sportsmanlike appearance."— Bur. all things have an end; and by Pippins's eventual arrival at the meet in safety we conclude either that the bay horse be- came accustomed to the eccentricities of female costume, or that he was fortunate in meeting with fewer causes of alarm than our turnpike roads usually present. The coffee room is no mean part of the day's en- joyment in the minds of some, and gives ample opportunity for the investigation of peculiarities. As it may indeed happen that the num- bers may be considerably thinned before they meet again at the kill, it behoves every man to take stock of his neighbours while he can. Mr Pippins, or any one like him, is pretty certain to divide the admiration of the field with the hounds; and unless the latter have very much increase.! in attraction of late years, his neat get- up would be sure to carry ofi the lion's share. The figures in this sketch are admirably drawn, ana develop the characteristics of this early stage cf the pro- ceedings. from the insouciance of the gentleman on the left of the picture, tightening his girtlia, and the well- bred ease of the lounger on the chesnut, to the gaping astonishment of young Clodpole and his little sister, and tiie fiatteriiis notice of the Amazon in the olnk feather. Pippins himself seems to say, " Ilere I am, and I rather flatter mvself that you fellows in leathers and tops have made a slight mistake in tlio matter of costume." Plate 3. Cover Side.—" Cover after cover drawn blank; cutting wind and rain— so nice."— Bravo! Pippins: take care of yourself; good people are scarce; and a fellow doesu't come out hunting tw be drown'd in a shower. Collars up, and hands down; and though it's not the time of year for taking shelter in an oak, we think you are right to make what use vou can of the old tree. Ali we hope is that the f > x will not break while you are in your present position: for it is not unlike St Paul's at Brighton, where you can hear nothing, aud see less. If you onlv knew the cold bath that awaits you in the brook, you would be less particular about a hall- storm of 10 minutes' duration. Ail umbrella is an Incon- venience out hunting; but the beginning wet through has this advan- tage— it combines the pltasures of a hydropathic establishment with an indifference to water- juraping. Plate 4. At Last a Find.—" Pipnins's horse is delighted."— Found at last! Awful sound to the Shuftler's- liottom- ite. But for those awful words, " Tally- ho, gone- away," what prodigious fields we should have! What a delightful tiling it is to have horse and man of one maid, under these circumstances. But, most unfortunately, this is not alwavs the case, and the plavful little dear who hears the opening note is not alwavs in accord with his rider. We do not mean to insinuate that Pippins would rather be inside; but he likes his pleasure diluted; or, if the shower has tomewhat abated that ardour of the chase with which he set out, it might have communicated someof its coolnessto his horse. " Ice him, Gunter; ice him." Aud if a pound or two of Wenham Lake in a state of solidity could be found at hand, we think Pippins would not have applied it to himself at the moment of finding. " Confound that horn! what a hurry they are in, to be sure!" A start, however, is a great thing in a run; and if Pippins's horse only carries him as he does his own tail, it will be straight enough for anything. Plate 5. " Pippins's horse carries him almost too well— through every- thing.''— After about, ten minutes in the open, the hero of our series finds himself in the thick of it. Hazel coppices must have been planted in hunting countries for the benefit of the hatters. And although we con- fess to a liking for a good hat at the cover side, a perfectly new Lincoln- and- Bennett is sadly thrown away in such a place as Mr Pippins is just penetrating. With iiis hands well up, and the remains of his hat well down, the fiery bay is almost as untameable now as when he heard the first note of the horn and hounds. A gorse country is all very well, and admits of being ridden over " en grande tcnue;" not so your straggling woodlands without rides, in which, if your horse is but sufficiently im- petuous, you may find occupation for the bone- setter and tailor, as well as your aloresaid hatter. We know nothing to: compare to the sudden advent from one of these merciless copses, but the re- appearance of our eldest daughter, after having been severely engaged in a fashionable ball- room for a quarter of an hour. No man who had not shared in the perils could have painted the picture. Plate 6. A Cropper.—" Pippins trying for the lead comes to grief." — Timber; and gentlemen desirous of a lead ought to take the first turn at it, if possible. Mr Pippins has only arrived in time to be second on his head; but for choice, he c> uldhave hardly turned a more unmiti- gated summersault. The sporting publican is iu all his glory, in green coat and red plush waistcoat: and has evidently learned to give his horse time. Pippins is giving his a hug instead, and is lauding cleverly in advance of him. By- the- by, on looking at the details of this sketch, we see a large majority making that use of timber which, ai ter all, is the most approved— we mean cutting it. Timber was meant to be cut; and we recommend that view of it to those who are disposed to be esti- mated bv their sharpness rather thiUi their pluck. Plate 7. " Pippins, on the wrong side of the hedge, cries out,' My horse, my horse!' See."—" Woay !" says Pippins, " My horse, my horse!" and really that method of jumping fences without him is not so bad, if he could but be persuaded to follow suit; as it is, he will gallop all over the fifeld, and be caught by that tiller of the soil, and iguominiously re- stored to the owner, for the small sum of one shilling. At present his tail looks as if about to afford some diversion, more, perhaps, to Chaw- bacon than to Piopins himself. He is not half done yet; and, by the look of the field, the hounds have had rather the best of it. Plate 8. " Pippins doing another tall; this time picks out a soft place." — Down again, and this time nice and soft. To be sure the colour is not so bright a3 it might be; but, considering the nature of peat soil, espe- cially that on Boggington Mere, it's not nearly so bad as it might be. These little accidents are sure to arrive to your forward men; this is one of the penalties men pay for greatness; and we make a great point of observing that Pippins is improving, and, this time, has not let go his horse. It is desirable that taey should sink or swim together: and if any assistance is to oe got out of a snaffle bridle, it is by pulling oneself up after a fall. Of course, the rest of the field, warned by so sad an example, are diverging from the suspicious- looking spot; and, as far as we can make « > ut, all the sympathy lavished upon the unfortunate will be at a distance. The cautious old gent on the grey dosn't seem to be hurrying to the rescue, and the selfish enthusiast oil the chesnut Is evi- dently warning his followers of any nearer approach. Plate 9. He takes a wash after it—" a perfect refresher."— Wise men perceive the fallacy of half measures. Mr Pippins comes out of the bog as black as a chimney- sweep. Could he present himself thus before the partner of his bosom, whose possibly interesting position should be spared such a shock? What to do? Ah! Ah! A line of stunted wil- lows, and water beyond. Now we may wash and be clean. Evident v that must have been the intention of Fate, if not of Pippins. And our lot is wisely chosen. He in his foolhardiness would have gone on; and, indeed, he very nearly did. The bay horse came down to it, with that vigorous determination which gives confidence of accomplishment; but Pippins himself, we presume, was shifty. At the brink he stops, and with well directed aim he shoots his rider clean over his head to within about one foot and a half on the other side. J ust room enough to go right under; how fortunate I Two feet more and he might have hurt himself. Be thankful, Pippins.' hen; you are safe and sound upon the bank, though a little damp, and quite clean. Plate 10. " Speed the Plough, indeed!"—" Dash the plough ( says Pip- pins)."— When about two- thirds doue, not utterly baked, a good strong clay fallow is a great relief, if you can but skirt it. It should, however, be alwavs recollected that the'rfei ices out of ploughed land are not so large as'those in grass countries; and that, as you will be reduced to a walk, vou can get your wind again Pippins h: is here taken the shortest cut to'disthiction: but, as is frequently- the case, the shortest road is likely to prove the longest; and, though he Idmself is untiring in energy and undving in nerve, nature will be served. He is very near the bottom of that good little bay horse; and, as the furthest horsemen disappear over the grass field on the other side, Ilppins feels that he's < rut of it. As to the imbecile attempts of the gentleman in the hedgerow to pull his horse over the fence, he may as well sit down, and wait for a p ilr of bellows. If you must have Northamptonshire plough, pick the wet fur- rows, and don't attempt to go across it, Plate 11. Though man and horse are considerably baked, " Pippins gets a nice view of the finish."— Baked, and not the only one; but a very pretty view of the finish. Pippins is quite right, sitting on the ground and mopping his bald pate, he sees through the gate as much as remains to be seen, quite as well as the man on the grey, who is about to fall on his head into the ditch, the reward of his ambition— an ambition, be it remarked, which does not " o'erleap itself." One hour and twenty mi- nutes, by Shrewsbury clock, and not more than a dozen of us there. A most creditable performance for a young sportsman, arid enough to sow the seeds of a gluttonous appetite for the sport3 of the field. From this dav Mrs Pippins is an unhappy woman; her reign is over; and Mr P.' s medical man orders horse exercise. Charming pleasure! only three falls, and a bath for nothing. But pleasure is shortlived, and not always accommodating, and at 4: 3o p. m. of a December's day the clouds begin to gather over head; the sky is red and lowering, and Pippins turns towards his home. Towards his home ! bless my heart! he has about as much idea where he is as we have. By dint- of inquiry and very nice calculation, he makes it four- and- twenty miles, as the crow flies. For- tunately he meets with a well- informed native, whose directions are as follows:—" When you get roight acrass the common, you bear a bit to the left, and go down a lane roight strait afore you, that's Wlnterblos- som- lane; take the fust turn to the roight agen, and through a little copse- loike. it ain't more nor three or four hundred yards; there's a bit of a brook- loike, with a ford, it ain't more nor up to your ' osse's middle; go through that, and that's Blasted ' Eath. You goes roight acrass that, and ask any one as you sees for Muddlehead Village. There beail't many people about mostly at that time o'noight; but you'll may hap see the lights, and when you're in the turripike- road, you K. I10WS your way. It ain't above nineteen miles further on." " AniJ ho*? far is Mudd'ehead from here?' says Pippins, rather at a lags " A matter o'four mile. Mind the brook, as you don't get drowne/ a." But fortune favours the bold; aud Pippins has found a fellow-. traveller going the same road, who gives him a cigar and his QomjJJD. y. He is unable to furnish a new hat or a fresh horse. Plate 12. Pippin^ Jtramps home with a friend, " having enjoyed him- self immensely."— in No. 12, the last of the scries, you see them on Blasted Heath, and we feel satisfied Pippins has enjoyed himself im- m5Bf/ ely. The tired horse, the crownless hat, the wetted coat, aud the absolute necessity for walking are all there, vividly enough; and there's the indomitable spirit of the English Pippins, which lias carried him through a glorious day, in which perils and dangers are merged in a love of sport. The drawing of these sketches is most spirited, and the evident know- ledge of his subject, which has guided the pencil of Mr H. K. Browne makes them verv valuable additions to this class of publication. Need we sav that Mr Fores has done all in the way of bringing them out that can make them available for the drawing- room table ?"— Sporting Magazine. Published by Messrs Fores, 41, Piccadilly.

LONDON, SUNDAY, JUNE 7. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. The world abroad is busy, and events of no common kind are likely soon to occur on the Continent. In France the elections are turning against the Government in most of the places where fairness in the management of the ticket boxes has a chance of being observed. Paris has returned nine instead of " The Five'' Oppositionists. M Thiers has been beaten at Valenciennes; but bow? The director of the Avir Mines de- clares that 9,000 of his workmen voted for Thiers, yet only 3,000 votes were found in the ballot- box. The statement of the number who voted, and the charge itself, are, both of them, proofs of what a farce the ballot is under the present French Government. In the meantime public attention is attempted to be diverted with shows, and all the powers of the Government are used to compel votes, and to silence the talkings of the press. In Prussia Constitutional Government is at an end. The King claims to be supreme and irresponsible master over all, and the Parliament is prorogued with a declaration which amounts to saying that he will levy taxes at his pleasure, and carry on the Government without parliamentary chambers at all. And the Press is subjected to the French system of warnings and sus- pensions. In Poland the insurrection is more and more widely spread, and the endeavour of the Russian Government to get up a kind of civil war by arming the peasantry against the gentry and mid- dle classes does not seem to have been successful. In Russia the Czar appears to be supported by public opinion in his severities against the Poles, but no one who knows any- thing of Russia places tlie least trust in manifestations of public opinion, where no public opinion would be allowed to manifest itself that was not in accordance with the will of the Czar, and where everybody could be called on to declare his accordance with that will. One of the Russian papers has the impudence to say that if England and France interfere about the Poles, the Czar may interfere about the Irish and the Algerians. Anything more absurd as well as impudent could not be imagined. Ireland and Algeria are not treated like Poland. There is no pretence for denying that every Irishman is as free in Ireland as every English- man is in England, or for saying that there is any one of them but relies with the utmost confidence on the equal and honourable ap- plication of the law tolhim both in public and private matters. We are not such masters of the details of the French Government in Algeria as to be able to assert that every Algerian, subject to the French authority, is a$ free as every Frenchman is in France, but at all events there has been no instance of a universal atrocity visited by the French Government on the native population. And theo. again, neither England nor France is under any solemn agieV° with the rest of Europe as to how Ireland or Algeria shaL « Tg?£ overned. The atrocities of the Russian Government towiT?. 1? Poland stand alone, and then, bad as they are in them- selves, they are still worse as being perpetrated in breach of the most solemn engagements, which engagements give the English and French Governments the legal and technical right to inter- fere in favour of Poland. THE ROYAL VICTORIA SCHOOL. The curse of the misconduct of the Crimean war has not yet left us. What was then done in the way of neglect of the soldiers is now repeated in injustice to those soldiers' children The nation, to compensate by kindness to the representatives of those who suffered so needlessly and so severely, instituted a fund for the children of Crimean soldiers. The nation was always kind and generous; it appreciated services and sufferings, and, eince it could not recal those who served it, determined to benefit those who had been dear to them. A sum of £ 203,000 was set apart for this purpose, and one thing done was the establishment of a girls' sehool. The scholars were to be the daughters of sol- diers, Private charity had begun this noble effort. Many who could ill afford it had contributed to create the Crimean fund. Benevolence and gratitude for service done to the country were the motives, and the fund was a lasting mark of the kind and honest feeling of the country. The people of this country do good with such generous, unspar- ing, ancCur. suspecting liberality, that they are sometimes betrayed and deceived. When the Crimean fund was created there was no intention that it should be made a source of profit to a few fa- voured individuals— it was desired to be a source of good to as many as possible of those who had so gallantly borne suffering sad upheld the honour of the country. The first thing we notice, sM notice with more titan regret, is tUat the fund, which ought to be devoted to its utmost extent to benefit the children of officers and soldiers, is charged with a burden of £ 700 a year for an " honorary secretary.'' The sum is something startling, but the hypocrisy of calling " honorary" so well paid a functionary is ab- solutely offensive. One hates to see deception anywhere, but to find it in such a place and such a person is revolting. The evi- dence suggests very strongly that had there been truth in the re- presentation, had the secretary been really " honorary,'' instead of deceptively claiming that title while he was receiving very large pay for his office, much of what has unfortunately happened would not have occurred. An officer who really was an " honorary secretary " of such an institution would have felt that his reward was to be found in the honour attending his discharge of the duties he had voluntarily undertaken, and that feeling would have verified itself. As it is, what do we see? A management, or, to speak in correct English, a mismanagement that has brought heavy scandal on the whole institution. Of course, the " honorary secretary" disclaims his liability to Kame; indeed according to Sir J. Pakington's representations he has twice taken part in de- cisions, the effect of which has been to shield him from the con- sequences of censure. Set mischiefs have happened. Those mis- chiefs do not appear to have been the result of accident, but do appear to have been the ordinary consequences easily to be antici- pated from a system of utter misrule. Let us see what some of the mischiefs were. We take Mr John Abel Smith's state- ment of them in the House of Commons, for to him the public are indebted for unveiling some of " the secrets of this prison house." Well, then, it seems that " a girl of the name of Bennett is submitted to solitary confinement for two days, for some act of insubordination, by the express direction of the chaplain. . . . At the close of the second day she was found burnt to death 1" No ex- planation is given how she came to be burnt to death, but the fact is not denied nor appears to be accounted for in the defensive speech of Sir John Pakington. Mr Abel Smith says that she was not a pupil of the school, but a servant. She was not an " honor- ary," that is quite clear, for Mr Smith says she received no wages. What a strange state of things ! A servant, yet receiving no wage, and liable to such a terrible punishment as solitary impri- sonment for " insubordination'' at the direction of a chaplain. The jurors summoned to sit on the inquest were actually wicked enough to complain of " the limited nature of the inquiry." that " the evidence supplied was scanty and meagre." and es- pecially " that there was no investigation as to the persons responsible for the lamentable event.'' Sir John Pakington is scandalised at these jurymen for making such complaints. We are scandalised at them, too, or rather should be so if their know- ledge of forms had been equal to their honesty of intention, for they might have refused to return any verdict till informa- tion on these points liad been properly laid before them. Tlie verdict, which was " accidental death," was deemed unsatisfactory at Wandsworth, but— what? " two school- mis- tresses were' dismissed.'' Was not that reparation enough ? Even Mr Abel 8mith does not explain how these schoolmistresses came to be implicated, or what they had to do with the matter; nor does Sir John Pakington, but they were dismissed. But this was not all. In consequence of the lamentable occurrence " the executive committee had its attention called'' ( as if it was not its bounden duty to be always having its attention called) " to the state of the management of the school," and " after some deli- beration, appointed a ladies' committee of 13 members" to assist in the care, management, and direction cf the school. Of course it is a matter deeply to be regretted, but these ladies seem to have done what appears to have made Sir J. Pakington deem them even more wicked than the jurymen. They not only were not satisfied with the management, though of course it must have been excellent, of the " lady superintendent," the chaplain, and the " honorary secretary," but they actually had the temerity to recommend the dismissal of the first and second of these functionaries. We pause to take breath at such temerity, and having done so, are actually barbarous enough to think them in the right, and to ask why they did not add the secretary to the list; for in addition to specific acts stated against him, comes the excuse made, to the executive committee, of the " lady superintendent" and the chaplain that they had " in all cases acted under and with the authority of the senior honorary secretary, Captain Fishbourne, to whom, as stated by the' chaplain, everything which happened or was done, even of the most trivial description, was made known, as their only mode of communication with their rulers, and whose decision was considered by them to be final, and his arrangements indisputable, whether according to their views or not." Is not this the Crimea mismanagement over again, with all its faults of neglect towards the good, ready adoption of the bad, and blind obedience to wilfulness and incompetence, with a universal disregard of those rules of sense and justice which in any condition of life, under all circumstances, and at all times, are tlie only wise, safe, and proper means of governing free men or providing for those in dependence. Want of space prevents us from going into all the painful de- tails of this matter. The faults imputed to the management are numerous. The case of the poor creature sentenced by arbitrary power to that most terrible punishment solitary confinement, for mere " insubordination,' is only one of the charges brought against those who have been allowed to misrule this institution, and who appear to have perverted it from an intended blessing to a real evil. As yet justice has not been done. The ladies' committee has been snubbed, and many of the members, all who had spirit enough, have resigned, while the chaplain, the " lady superintendent," and the " senior honorary secretary " are still in office, and are, in a tone which has about it all the signs of subserviency, but with a great pertinacity of purpose, defended by Sir John Pakington. It is said that the former mismanagement is now corrected, and that Lord St Leonards has recently expressed his satisfaction with the present arrangements. It is well to hear this, but why was it necessary that one girl should die and another be improperly punished before such a desirable end was attained. THE SUNDAY BILL. This bill has been rejected by a very considerable majority, so considerable that, if there is any sense of delicacy in its promoters it will not be again put forward. In principle it was radically unjust. It went to deprive of the means of the commonest com- forts all the poorer classes, while all the richer classes could, if they pleased, enjoy those comforts, even to the extent of abusing them, without being at all interfered with by the bill. How the cause of religion could be served by making the poorer classes painfully feel their want of means to lay in a stock of beer or wine it is difficult to conceive. The bill was the offspring of that tyrannical spirit which will gratify its own prejudices at the cost of those over whom it possesses authority. It was pretended to be introduced for the good of the poor, and its promoters actually spoke as if it was the duty of the poor to be grateful to them. The fancy was about as wise and well founded as that of the cruel father, who saying to his ill- treated child, " Do you love me ?" and not receiving a very satisfactory answer, added, " I will flog you till you do." The case here was the worse, for this reason : that the bill, on the presumption of some men of a particular class being guilty of misconduct, sought to make all the men of that class sufferers. ST THOMAS'S HOSPITAL. There never was a clearer ease of what ought to be done, nor ever one in which folly, or party, or personal motives so cruelly interfered to prevent the doing of it. We are unwilling to believe the statements made in a letter signed " Myatt's Seedling," pub- lished in The Times of Thursday, though the particularity of the details suggests to the mind of the reader that the writer was well informed on the subject on which he wrote. If anything like what is there stated is true, the fear of corrupt motives which seems to have haunted the minds of the governors and influenced the mind of the public is fully explained. We have nothing to do with the governors or their quarrels, but in the interest of the public, for whose benefit the hospital was intended, we must re- peat a suggestion which we made some time ago, and to which we have never yet heard a real objection offered. It is clear that for the convenience of affording immediate relief in case of acci- dents, so liable to occur in the midst of a very populous and busy neighbourhood like that of Southwark, there should be a hospital close at hand. The public meeting the other day so strongly took up this idea that it appeared as if all other objects were to be sacrificed to it; yet that is unwise. There should, if possible, be another hospital to which those who were improving might be removed for their more early cure. The two objects can be combined; but they cannot be so if the Bethlehem scheme is adopted. St Thomas's would not then have funds sufficient. The demand for the purchase of Bethlehem is excessive and irrational. Suppose, instead of purchasing Bethlehem, appli- cation was made to the Government for the site of the King's Bench Prison, and a hospital for accidents there erected. As no Government would think of charging an exorbitant price, or any but a moderate price for land intended to be used for such a pur- pose, the funds of St Thomas's would then be sufficient to pro- vide a much larger hospital than one erected on the site of Beth- lehem could be, in order to receive the patients for whose removal to a purer atmosphere than Southwark there has been so loud a demand. We urgently recommend this scheme to the careful consideration of the Government. WESTLEY RICHARDS'S BREECH- LOADING GUNS.— We are glad to hear that our old friend the Bishop of Bond street received a command during the past week from H. R. H. the Prince of Wales to wait on him at Marlborough House, and that the prince, on seeing some of Mr Ricliards's splendid breech- loading guns, was so pleased with their simplicity and the excellency of the work- manship that he at once gave an order for two pairs for his own use. THE HIGHLAND DEER FORESTS.— From present prospects it is generally anticipated that, this will be one of the most favourable seasons for the deer. During late years the herds have been con- siderably increased in number. Last year was a most favourable season for them, and the young fawns were numerous. The win- ter was open and unusually mild, while the hill sides, corries, and glens preserved a verdant pasturage throughout. The spring was early ; and this abundance of pasture has proved very beneflcia to the fallow and red deer, as they have been able to maintain high condition, and are now in very superior order. At present they may be seen browsing on the hill- sides and eminences in large numbers, and less wild than usual. Red and Indian deer have been imported to a number of Highland estates within recent years, and especially to the Western Islands, and they are found to thrive remarkably well. The famous forest at Blackmount, which belonged to the late Marquis of Breadalbane, and extends to about 60 miles in circumference, possesses a splendid stock of all kinds of deer. In Glenorchy and other fine growing glens many of the deer have become very tame, and commit ravages on cultivated lands. The forest at Glenartney is also well stocked, and the prospects there are very cheering. The same may be said of Athele, Clunie, and Alyth forests.— Scotsman. GAME PROSPECTS. — We have the usual contradictory accounts from the north of Scotland. Last season, about this time, all was couleur de rose— assurances of numerous and abundant coveys before the eggs were hatched, while, as unfortunately happened, a considerable portion of them were never hatched at all. This season there are rival prophets, one set of whom rejoice the sports- man with the intelligence that" on all the extensive moors grouse are abundant, the hatching season well advanced, and the more early nests containing young grouse.'' The other set revel in ac- counts of deep snow, hail, rain, dead birds, and black prospects— the writers warning the Cockneys against high rents for barren hills. Possibly both speculations are exaggerated, and, as with us on the low ground, the real prospects of sport on the I2th of August ( which, by the way, falls this season on a Wednesday) cannot as yet be anticipated with any degree of accuracy. All that can be said about the Ayrshire moors, as yet, is that the stock left last season was, notwithstanding an almost universal jubilee by sportsmen, under an average ; and, where they were not spared, very low indeed; so that, even for anything like a fair show of birds in August, a very dry and warm spring is indispensable. So far as it has yet gone the season has not been unfavourable; and, after so wet an early spring, we may hope for dry weather and heat. Eyen on the best moors, where there was scarcely any shooting last season, the old birds, though healthy, are scarce. FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION AT BILSTON.— On Saturday, May 30, a boiler exploded near this town, which has been attended with results of a most painful nature, four persons having been picked up in the ruins dead, and 13 more having sustained in- juries more or less serious. The works at which the accident hap- pened are those known as the Bilston Mill, the property of Messrs M. andJ. 8. Sparrcsw, and they are situated not far from the Millfields Works of Messrs Rose, at which, by a similar calamity a short time ago, 12 persons were killed. The Bilston Mill oc- cupies a space of about . two acres, and consists of two forges with 34 furnaces, a rail, a hoop, a merchant, and a slitting- mill re- spectively. To work all this machinery there are upon the pre- mises three powerful steam- engines. The engine in the rail- mill where there are also 11 puddling furnaces is supplied with steam by two large British tube firing boilers, that lie side by side, em- bedded in masses of brickwork, adjoining the mill. At the hour named the boiler, the position of which was farthest from the mill, blew up, without giving the slightest warning. The boiler seemed a good one, and was composed of iron of the usual thick- ness. The engine had been standing for an hour just before the explosion, but at the time of the accident had resumed partial work. The cause of the explosion is at present inexplicable. EXPLOSION AND Loss or LIFE AT HAMMERSMITH.— On Wed- nesday, June 3, an explosion took place at the sugar refinery of Messrs Cowan and Sons, near Barnes. It seems that about four o'clock, while the works were in full operation, one of the sugar pans suddenly exploded with great force, the noise of which was heard on the other side of the river. William Ives, a boy, and Patrick Tully, who resided at Hammersmith, were killed, and their bodies were removed to the Boileau Arms public- house, in the Hammersmith Bridge- road, Barnes, to await the inquest. Two others, who were very much injured, were immediately taken to the West London Hospital. Died, on the 29th of May, Mr Jam? s proper Clark, wine and spirit merchant, of Jdariborough, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The following is the result of the elections in Paris :— 2d Arron- dissement: M Thiers, the Opposition candidate, elected by 11,112 votes, against M Devinck, the Government candidate, who ob- tained only 9,857 votes. 3d Arrondissement: M Emile Ollivier, ex- deputy, Opposition candidate, elected by 18,651 votes, against the Government candidate. M Varin, who received 9,957 votes. 4th Arrondissement: M Ernest Picard, ex- deputy, Opposition candidate, elected by 17,046 votes, against General Perrot, ex- deputy, the Government candidate, who received 6,487 votes. 5th Arrondissement: M Jules Favre, ex- deputy, Opposition can- didate, elected by 18,655 votes, against M Frederick Levy, mayor of the Ilth district, the Government candidate, who obtained 8,507 votes. In the 6th Arrondissement M Gueroult, chief editor of the Opinione Nationale, Opposition candidate, obtained 10,717 votes ; M Fouche Lepelletier, ex- deputy, Government candidate, 9,323 votes ; M Cochin, Oppositien candidate. 6,000 votes ; and M Prevost Paradol, editor of the Journal des Debais, Opposition, 2,200 votes. None of the candidates having obtained the two- thirds majority requisite by the electoral law, the ballot will be resorted to in this district. The results of the elections in the 8t. h and 9th Arrondissement have not yet transpired. M Havin, political editor of the Siecle, lias been elected in the lst Arron- dissement, and M Darimon in the 7th Arrondissement. MM An- delarre and Marinier have been elected in the department © f Haute Saone. The Marseillais have sent M Berryer and M Meric, M Henon at Lyons, M Dorian at St Etienne, M Plichon at Dor- dogne, M Kolb- Bernard at Lille, M Lambrecht at Douai, M Lan- juinais at Nantes. In many other places the Opposition candi- dates have been beaten only by a neck, and by those unworthy tamperings with the basllot box to which the authorities dared not resort in Paris. M Thiers has been rejected at Valenciennes and Aix. In the former place the director of the Ayvir Mines de- clares that 9,000 of his workmen voted to a man for M Thiers, whereas there were but some 3,000 votes found in the ballot box. M Thiers will bring these scandals before Parliament. It is be- lieved that the rejection of M Dufaure and M Odilon Barrot has been obtained by the same devices. The tribunal at Rheims has just pronounced judgment against two persons who had forged the mark of Cliquot Ponsardin on 300 cases of wine. They have been condemned to 18 months' imprisonment and a fine of £ 1,200, and to the publication of the sentence in the journals and the costs of its insertion. Their head cellarinan also has been sen- tenced to four months' imprisonment. Some of these wines were seized in London ; and it is to be hoped that, under the existing treaties for the protection of trade marks, our own courts will in all similar instances act with equal vigour. SPAIN. The sentence of imprisonment passed upon the Spanish Pro- testants at Malaga has, like that of the Grenada Protestants, been commuted to banishment. The prisoners will be conveyed to France. RUSSIA. The National Gazette says :—" The public mind is daily be- coming more hostile to the Western Powers. All our communities are voting addresses, and Russians, Germans, Christians, and Jews, laymen and clergy, the nobility and the middle classes, even the Muscovite ladies have decided upon no longer wearing the products of foreign industry." Poor things, as if they dared " decide" anything except under Government direction. DENMARK. On Saturday the King will receive the Greek deputation at Christiansburg in solemn audience, in order to announce to them the acceptance of the Crown by Prince William. PRUSSIA. The King has prorogued the Chambers, and declared that h ® approves ot all that his ministers have done, and that he intend8 to rule as seems to him best for the country. There is a rumour that he means to absent himself for some time, leaving the govern- ment in the hands of tlie ministers, under the nominal superin- tendence of Prince Charles. POLAND. Fighting is of daily occurrence. The insurgents are in most cases successful in their contests with the Russian troops. The loss of life is terrible. TURKEY- Fuad Pasha has been nominated Grand Vizier. He will retain the portfolio of Minister of War, with Halil Pasha as his deputy. Sultan Achmet Khan at Herat is dead. His son continues the de- fence of the city. Emir Pasha has been appointed Chancellor of the Divan, and" Commissioner in the Conference on the affairs of the Herzegovina. AMERICA. President Lincoln has changed Vallandigham's sentence of im- prisonment in Port Warren to transportation beyond the Federal lines. The New York Evening Post says:—" The Administration is legally bound by Congressional enactment to hand Vallandig- ham over to the civil tribunals; and, as it cannot be supposed that the Administration desires to escape the demands of the law, the Post expects that Vallandigham will be handed over to the civil authorities." The proceedings against Vallandigham cause the greatest excitement thoughout the Union. The newspapers in all the Western cities are now under military supervision, and in Indiana free press discussion is entirely suppressed by General Hascall. Arrests in Washington are becoming more numerous. The Washington Cabinet refuses its co- operation in making re- presentations to Russia concerning Poland, on the ground that America can never deviate from her traditional policy of non- intervention except in cases of evident necessity. MEXICO. The official French despatches and the statements made in let- ters from Mexico do not agree. Official despatches state that a strong reconnoitring detachment, under Col Brincourt, defeated 3,000 Mexicans near Atlesco. The total loss sustained by the French was 70 killed, 578 wounded, the greater part slightly, and 43 missing. The despatches add that the state of affairs was satis- factory. On the 23d March the besiegers, having kept up a heavy fire for three days, gained some trifling advantages, which they lost on the 24th. The Mexicans drove them from the blocks of houses where they had taken up their position, and afterwards blew up the houses themselves. General Ortega declares that if he is compelled to retire from the town he will leave the French in possession of nothing but ruins. On the 26th March the French attacked the fort of St Javier, and were repulsed. On the 28th they were again repulsed. On the lst of April they attacked it again, and its reduction to ruins having now, after many hours' fighting, been accomplished, the defenders emptied the ma- gazines and retired to some adjacent houses, whence the enemy were unable to dislodge them. This cost the French thirty- two hours of hard figkting, in which they suffered great losses. On the 3d of April the French attacked Port St Augustin, and were repulsed. On the 8th the Mexicans dislodged and drove away a body of Zouaves from a position they had taken up, sup- ported by a cavalry force. From this date up to the 25th nothing of importance seems to have been done. Between Puebla and the capital is stationed General Comonfort's army, 24,000 strong, of which one- sixth part is cavalry. He claims to have routed a French force on the 15th April, capturing a great number of cattle, mules, horses, and a quantity of ammunition. It appears that the male population of Mexico is taking arms to repel the invaders. It is even reported, but we hope untruly, that the French general had refused the request of the American and Prussian Consuls to allow the women and children to leave Puebla prior to the bombardment. THE DEAMA. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— A season without a representation of Meyerbeer's grand opera of the " Huguenots" would be an operatic anomaly, not now a- days to be endured. This fine work has been twice given at this theatre, the principal feature in its performance being the appearance of a new marvel in the person of Signor Fricca, a German basso with an Italian name, whose voice is just of that order which fits itself to the execution of powerful music. It is due to him also to state that his make up and bearing are both excellent, and that the sturdy, defiant part of the character is thoroughly well understood by him. The Valentine of Mdlle Titiens is so well known, that it is only neces- sary to say that the fine dramatic music of the part had never been better sung by her. Mdlle Trebelli is a most charming page, and she sings the invitation song with admirable taste and fluency. Most effective is Mr Santley in the small part of Nevers, and Signor Giuglini exerts himself with unusual energy to give due prominence to the beautiful melodies allotted to the part of Raoul. The band and chorus, though at times a little too pro- nonce, yet testified considerable improvement under the guidance of their able conductor, Signor Arditi. On Thursday " La Traviata" was given for the first time this season. As Violetta, Mdlle Artot more than confirmed the favourable impression entertained of her on her first appearance. She liad a most cordial reception, and was recalled three times before the curtain. Her execution of " Parigi o cara" was so good as to ensure its encore, a similar honour being paid to Mr Santley for the admirable manner in which he sang " Di Provenza." ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.— The opera of " La Traviata " has been played since our last, and Mdlle Fioretti has essayed the character of Violetta for the second time. This lady is beginning to feel her way with lier London admirers, and to gain more confidence as she proceeds on her operatic course. A more conscientious artiste has rarely been heard; there is no shirking of work in the execution of her arias, no putting on of shrugs and grimaces in place of sound honest delivery of real notes. Then, too, the quality of her voice is so genuine and fresh, that time will only serve to ripen its richness and add to its breadth of volume. The dying scene is admirably sustained, the gradual diminution of tone perceptible in the fading utterances of the poor lady showing a fine sense of discrimination on the part of the singer. The sub- stitution of Signor Graziani for the late debutant in the character of the father is an improvement every way. Tlie plaintive " Di Provenza," and the tenderly conceived " Pure com' angelo," are rendered by Signor Graziani with all the fulness of effect that his noble voice can bestow upen them. Rossini's welcome " La Gazza Ladra," with Mdlle Patti a? the heroine, is the next revival to be followed by Meyerbeer's " Roberto," in which M Obin will make his first appearance before an English audience as Bertramo. Mdme Miolan- Carvalho is shortly expected, and then we hope to hear something of M Gounod's " Faust," an opera in which this lady has created quite a sensation in Paris and theFrench provinces. MR LUMLEY'S BENEFIT NIGHTS.— A series of operatic repre- sentations have been given at Drury- lane Theatre for the benefit of Mr Lumley, the ex.- impresario of Her Majesty's, and the Mar- chese Gaetani, nee Mdlle Piccolomini has quitted her retirement for the express purpose of aiding the fallen manager. '' La Tra- viata,'' " La Figlia del Reggimento," and " Don Giovanni," have been the three operas chosen for this occasion. The band and chorus have been supplied from Her Majesty's, and Madame Alboni, Mdlle Antonietta Fricci ( by the kind permission of Mr Gye), Signor Giuglini, Signor Baragli, Signor Vialetti, Signor Gassier, and other artistes have also generously lent their aid. Mdlle Piccolomini has grown stouter since her departure from this country, but has lost no atom of her genial style of acting and singing, all that piquant archness and dashing brilliancy by which she captured so many devoted admirers still existing with undi- minished effect Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales honoured the performance of " La Figlia,'' and testified their gratification of the actress's talents. Another performance of this pretty comic opera will, we believe, bring the series to a close. STRAND THEATRE.— This house will once more be opened on Monday, June 8, and will be under the management of Mr W. H. Swan borough, a son of the late manager, who promises to produce several novelties, and to introduce some new aspirants to dramatic honours. CRYSTAL PALACE.— Whether this noble palace of glass be a fit- ting place for dramatic performances or the reverse, is a question we must leave for the consideration of the sticklers to dramatic proprieties on the one hand, and to the purists in matters of art on the other to decide. Certain it is that the good folks who fre- quent this pleasant spot were regaled on Saturday, the 30th ult, with a capital representation of Mr Morton's farce of Box and Cox. Mr Buckstone personated Box, being his original character, Mr Compton sustaining the part of Cox, the only other character, that of Mrs Bouncer, being played by Mrs Griffiths. The audience, which filled every part of the concert room, seemed to enjoy this dramatic invasion immensely ; they laughed and laughed again at all the extraordinary tissue of absurdities which befal the rival lodgers from first to last. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT EYEMOUTH.— Three fishermen were drowned at Eyemouth on Thursday. On the morning of the day named they left Eyemouth with a boat belonging to the father of two of them, to fish off the coast near Coldingham. About eleven o'clock in the forenoon they were seen so engaged about a mile from the shore, the boat sail being then down, and the weather calm. Having just put up the sail, however, and moved off, a sudden gale of wind arose, which capsized the boat. The three men hung to the boat for nearly twenty minutes after it was upset, the sea breaking over their heads. No boat was near to render them assistance, and one by one the men dropped into the sea and disappeared. A number of people witnessed this sad occurrence from the shore, and with despatch procured a horse, and sent off— first to the fishing village of Coldingham shore, and then to Eyemouth, both at a considerable distance— for assistance, but it arrived too late. The boat was recovered, but not the bodies of the unfortunate men. They were— William Dougall, aged 20 ; John Dougall, aged 17, sons of William Dougall, fisherman, to whom the boat belonged; and Archibald Burgan, son of a widow in Eyemouth, MILITARY. THE CASE OF 8ERGEANT- MA, TOR LILLY.— The following is the memorandum issued from the Horse Guardsin this affair:—" His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has read, with deep regret, the proceedings of the court- martial on Mr Smales, late Paymaster of the 6th Dragoons; and in reviewing the proceed- ings of the court, and the subsequent remarks, his royal highness regrets that on some points he has been under the necessity of differing from officers high in command, on whose judgment on all other occasions heretofore his royal highness has had the greatest oonfidence. Nevertheless, for the interest of the service, his royal highness has but one course to pursue. His royal high- ness is of opinion that a great deal of irrelevant matter has been introduced into the proceedings of the court; if charges had been simply framed for insubordination in writing such a letter to his commanding officer the ends of justice would have been amply served. Without going into details, his royal highness takes the following view of the circumstances of tho case:— The Inniskilling Dragoons, when in England, under Colonels White and Shute ( two officers of whom his royal high- ness entertained the highest opinion), was one of the best— if not the best— cavalry regiment in the British ser- vice, whether as regards its esprit de corps and unanimity of its officers, or the drill and discipline of the men. When the regi- ment arrived in India, from the change occurring among some of the officers, it appears there was, on one or two occasions, some irregularity among a few of the officers when off duty, or at the mess, which his royal highness had occasion to visit with his dis- pleasure; but yet, on the " whole, the regiment maintained its good name for discipline and unanimity as before, as was shown by the confidential reports and other sources brought to the notice of the field marshal; and it was in this state the regiment was when Colonel Crawley assumed the command. His royal highness placed Colonel Crawley in command, knowing that he possessed a high character in the lower ranks of the service; but, however highly he may have been qualified as to drill and regimental duty, he certainly appears riot to have possessed tact sufficient to command the zealous co- operation of his officera. He appears to have taken exception to certain practices in the regiment detri- mental to its esprit de corps, and the language he made use of, on several occasions, his royal highness considers as exceedingly injudicious. Colonel Crawley's rejoinder to Mr Smale's de- fence, his royal highness considers as exceedingly vindictive, and likely to raise a spirit of resistance among his officers. It is only from the high opinion expressed of Colonel Crawley by the major- general under whose immediate command he is serving, that his royal highness allows Colonel Crawley to remain in the regiment, but it will be on trial only. His royal highness hopes that the report of the statement made by Colonel Crawley, on the occasion of his reading out the remarks of his Excellency Sir Hugh Rose, may prove to be incorrect, or it would add very much to his already very reprehensible conduct, and would ne- cessitate his royal highness taking serious notice of the circum- stances. As regards the confinement of the three non- commis- sioned officers, his royal highness views it with extreme dis- pleasure. They were placed under arrest for conspiracy, when it appears there was no charge preferred against them, or the shadow of evidence produced to that effect; and it would also appear that his Excellency Sir Hugh Rose has been misinformed of the circumstances of the case, or he would not have dealt with the subject as he did, and would not have attributed the death of Regimental Sergeant- Major Lilly to excess-'' THE DEATH OF A PENINSULA AND WATERLOO OFFICER — We have to record the death of Lieut- Colonel John Flamank, late of the 35th Regiment, which occurred at Newbridge- hill, Bath, on Saturday, May 23. The gallant deceased, who was in his 75th year, entered the army Nov 2, 1809, and served in the Peninsula with the 51st Regiment ( the King's Own Light Infantry) from January, 1811, until the end of that war in 1814; and was afterwards en- gaged in the campaign of 1815, including the battle of Waterloo and capture of Cambray. His commissions bear date, as lieute- nant, Dec 12,1811; captain. May 17, 1821 ; major, Dec 16, 1836; and lieut- colonel, Nov 9, 1846. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THE NEW POACHING ACT.— In the Queen's Bench, on Wed- nesday, June 3, the appeal in the case of Fuller v Newland, re- ported in our last, again came on for hearing. The conviction was for being unlawfully on the land of a Mr Birch, in pursuit of game. A cart had been seen at an early hour in the morning in a green lane on land of his, and close to one of his plantations, and not long afterwards the cart was stopped by the police on the highway at no great distance, the appellant, a wooden- legged man, driving it, and some fresh game being in it. The justices had submitted a case to this court, but a doubt had arisen ( as we explained in our report of the case last week) what was the precise question intended to be submitted to the court— whether there was any legal evidence, or whether there was sufficient evidence. The justices now certified to the court that the question intended to be submitted to the court was— whether to justify the convicting of the appellant it was necessary to prove the actual trespassing of the appellant on land of the parish in pursuit of game, and also to prove that the game found in and upon his ( the appellant's) cart was the game unlawfully obtained by such trespass. Mr Bovill, Q. C., and Mr Keane appeared in support of the conviction; Mr Flowers ap- peared against it.— After some discussion, the Lord Chief Justice said that it certainly was necessary to prove that the man had been trespassing on some land in pursuit of game, and had un- lawfully taken game there, but circumstantial evidence was suffi- cient, and in this case there was some legal evidence on both these points, and the court had no jurisdiction to determine whether it was such as should or should not be sufficient to satisfy the jus- tices ( as a jury) of the facts to be proved. There was no power, so to speak, to grant a new trial if dissatisfied with the verdict of the justices. The court could only decide a question of law— i. e., whether there was any legal evidence on which to convict, and could not enter into the sufficiency of the evidence as a question of fact.— The other learned judges concurred.— On the question of costs, the court said, under all the circumstances, they should not give costs against'the appellant. A HORSE CASE.— In the Bail Court, on Wednesday, the case of Gulliver v Towsey was tried. The plaintiff was a breeder of race- horses near Banbury, and the defendant was an hotel- keeper in Hampshire, but had dealings on the Turf; and the action was brought to recover the sum of £ 150 as the balance for the sale of two racehorses, named Banco and Sunningdale. It was admitted that the defendant had purchased the horses for £ 400. The money was not paid at the time. There was some considerable cor- respondence between the parties, and at length it was agreed that they should meet at the Cross Keys, Wood- street. The plaintiff was not present, but Mr Lysart, his attorney, attended for him. The defendant gave Lysart a cheek for £ 100, and a bill at three months for £ 150, and he asked Mr Lysart for a receipt. Mr Lysart refused to give a receipt, upon which Mr Holmes, who had been present at the purchase of the horses, and had acted as the friend of the plaintiff, said he would give him one, upon which Mr Lysart said Mr Holmes had no authority to act for Mr Gulliver in this matter. The parties had met afterwards, the defendant was much dissatisfied with the horses, and the plaintiff then told the defendant if he would give him cash for his bill the next week at Hampton Saces, be would take it as a full settlement of the matter. The parties met at Hampton, but nothing was said about the money. The only question in the dse was as to the agency of Helmes. The plaintiff repudiated his being his agent, the de- fendant asserting the contrary. There wag ft good deal of hard swearing, but the jury ultimately found for the pl^ Ultift for the amount claimed. PEBESTBIANISM. POLICE. THE CREMORNE " GENTS."— On Thursday Reginald Herbert, John Birkett, Joseph Saville, John Shawcross, Charles Mott, and Charles E. M'Dougall were finally examined, and the depositions read over to them, as to the charge of creating a disturbance and riot at Cremorne Gardens on the night of the Oaks day.— Mr Hutchinson, addressing the magistrate, requested that the case might be sent for trial at the Old Bailey instead of the Middlesex Sessions, assigning as his reason that Saville, who was an officer in the army, had to call others in the same position in his behalf, and it was material, in order to ensure their attendance, that the matter should be disposed of as early as possible, lest their mili- tary duties should call them away, and then pointed out that the Central Criminal Court would sit next week, and the sessions not until a week afterwards. He further thought that a serious and important case of this description was worthy of being tried before a judge.— Mr Arnold said that he had no discretion in the matter. Unless there were tome special reasons in law, he was bound by the order of the Secretary of State to send the case to the Middlesex Sessions. Mr Hutchinson could apply by certiorari for a removal.— Mr Hutchinson said that would cause a delay, as the bills must at first be found at the sessions.— Mr Sleigh said that he had given instructions for caveats to be lodged to prevent the removal of the indictment w ithout notice to the prosecutor.— The voluminous depositions were then read over, and the defend- ants' bail extended for their appearance at the Middlesex Sessions. THE MURDER IN SOUTHWARK.— On Thursday Thomas Lid- better, of 28, Borough- road, was again examined at Southwark police court, on the charge of murdering his wife and son by cutting their throats. The evidenoe, of course, left no doubt as to the prisoner's guilt; but as there is no assignable cause for the act, and as it is known the prisoner was of eccentric habits, the presumption is that he was insane. ROBBERIES AT HACKNEY WICK.— At Middlesex Sessions, on Wednesday, a young Hebrew, named Nathan Solomons, was sen- tenced to six years' penal servitude for two daring robberies com- mitted upon spectators at a foot race at Mr Baum's at Hackney Wick, on the 11th ult. There were several previous convictions. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths in the week ending May 30, were 1,296, being an increase on the previous week and 117 above the average. Small- pox was fatal in 68 cases, typhus in 46, diarrhoea in 12, scarlatina 78, measles 39, consumption 159, bron- chitis 93, pneumonia 54, & c. The births were 1,005 boys and 992 girls— total 1,997. DISCOVERY OF THE SOURCES OF THE NILE.— Mr Wyld, of Charing- cross, has just published a map of Africa, to illustrate the recent important geographical discovery. The route of Captains Speke and Grant is marked conspicuously, with the necessary in- dications, and those of previous travellers are also given. THE ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY.— In our " Town Edition" last week we gave the particulars of a frightful accident that occurred on Friday evening, May 29, to the five o'clock up express from Brighton, by which a lady named Chilver, two privates of the Grenadier Guards named Charles Stone and George Blunden, and an engine- driver named Salmon had been killed and an immense number of soldiers and other persons had been dangerously injured. Dr Cureton, Canon of Westminster, and his family, are amongst the sufferers. Dr Cureton has experienced some injuries to his face and legs. Miss Blanche" Cureton has also met with injury to her leg, which at first was supposed to have been broken. Dr Cureton's head nurse, Louisa Freshwater, had some of her ribs broken, and her teeth were knocked out. Mary Woods, the under nurse, lias received several bruises. The Grenadiers were returning from Eastbourne, where they had been undergoing their annual course of musketry instruction. Mr. Frederick Slight, the secre- tary to the company, has furnished the following particulars: — " I have at present " no more than a formal report of the account, from which it would seem that the train leaving Brighton at five p. m. yesterday arrived at Croydon safely, and that the Victoria portion of it, consisting of sixteen vehicles, left Croydon four minutes late. Nothing occurred until its arrival within the dis- tant signal at the Streatham Common Station, when the engine began to oscillate considerably, and immediately after left the line, turned over on its side, arid then exploded, which, of course, dragged the carriages off the line, seriously injuring several of the passengers. Mrs Chilver, of New Burlington- street, was killed, and also two men of the Grenadier Guards. Twenty other soldiers and seven other passengers were also more or less injured. The matter is, of course, being investigated. At present the cause does not appear clear, as the permanent way is believed to have been in good order, and the engine was one of several constructed by this company in 1858 for running on this portion of the rail- way.'' An inquest has been commenced upon the bodies and been adjourned. All medicines aggravate and perpetuate chronic complaints, but Du Barry's delicious health- restoring Revelenta Arabica Food effectually cures them, restoring perfect digestion, strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver, pure blood, refreshing sleep, func- tional regularity, and energy to the most disordered or enfeebled. Subjoined are a few out of 60,000 cures:— Cure No. 58,216, of the Marchioness de Brehan, Paris, April 17,1862: " Inconsequence of a liver complaint I was wasting away for seven years, and so debilitated and nervous that I was unable to attend to anything, with a nervous palpitation all over, bad digestion, constant sleep- lessness, and the most intolerable nervous agitation. I felt dread- fully low spirited. Many medical men had prescribed for me in vain. In perfect despair I took Du Barry's Revelenta Arabica. God be praised; it has completely revived me. I am myself again, and able to resume my social position.— Marchioness de Brehan." Cure No. 1,771: Lord Stuart de Decies, Lord Lieute- nant of Waterford, of many years' dyspepsia. No. 49,832: " Fifty years' indescribable agony from dyspepsia, nervousness, asthma, cough, constipation, flatulency, spasms, sickness, and vomiting.— Maria Joly."

Baum's ground on Saturday, May 30, to run a mile, for £ 5 a side, the meeting being well attended by the respective partisans of the men. The competitors had to make the circuit of the course seven times to complete the distance, and the whole of the pre- liminaries being adjusted, they came to the mark, both looking all that could be desired in condition. The betting was even, but there was not much of the circulating medium speculated on the result. On getting off the men went away at a " clinking" pace, and a fine race ensued for three quarters of a mile, the men during the whole of this distance never being more than a yard apart. When, however, this portion of the match bad been accomplished, Bragg, it was found, had received his quietus, for he was so much distressed that he suddenly pulled up, so that Rowe had only to spin off the remainder of the distance to win easily. Ms S. and Mr F.— These amateurs likewise walked four miles, for £ 10 a side and a spread, Mr S. having to receive two minutes. The odds were 5 to 4 on Mr,. F., but there was little or no money speculated, as the friends of Mr S. did not display any disposition to back him ; or, as matters turned out, they might have won a good stake. The match calls for no description, for the advantage of the lead was maintained by Mr S. from commencement to finish, and on the termination of the struggle he went in an easy winner by 140 yarcs. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW- HUXTABLE AND BOWEN.— On Saturday, May 30, these pedes- trians attended J. Wilson's new ground, the Olympia, Bow, to run 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, Bowen being allowed four yards. The betting was in favour of Huxtable, and in arranging the pre- liminaries Jame3 Pudney, the M. C., acted as referee. The competitors had to go by mutual consent, and after being on the mark some ten minutes they dashed off. Huxtable, from the manner in which he closed on iiis opponent, gave undeniable proof that he had the advantage in speed, but So wen, when he found that he was being completely outpaced, in the most unfair and improper manner got on Huxtable's side of the course, for the purpose of preventing hiin, if possible, from coming in front. He did not, however, succeed in this disreputable action, for Huxtable, despite the manifest unfairness of his opponent, came to thefront as they neared the goal, and went in a winner by two yards. Bowen, to all intents and purposes, acted most unfairly towards his opponent. AUSTIN AND KING.— These men also ran a mile, for £ 5 a side. The betting was 5 to 4 on King. The pedestrians ran well together until they had arrived within 140 yards of the goal, when Austin, in making his final effort, had the ill- luck to overstep himself, and in consequence fell heavily, but on " pulling the system together," it was found that, beyond a severe shaking, he had not sustained any serious hurt. King, from the moment his opponent became " a down pin," had the race to himself, and went in an easy winner. AISTROP V TIME.— This was a match in which C. Aistrop had undertaken to run ten miles, for £ 10 a side, within the hour, and the event, pursuant to articles, came off on Tuesday, June 2. there being a tolerably good attendance. After the start had been effected, Aistrop for the first five miles ( half the distance) did his work at a winning pace, and his friends became more than ever confident that he would be enabled to bring the event to a suc- cessful issue. While, however, performing the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth mile he fell off in speed in an unmistakable manner, and on the completion of the distance it was ascertained that Time was the winner, Aistrop having taken lh 29sec to run the ten miles, so that he lost by 29sec. PEDESTRIANISM AT BROMPTON. RICHARDS ( THE WELSHMAN) AND JONES OF ISLINGTON.— On Monday, June 1, these pedestrians met on Mr J. Roberts's en- closed ground to decide their race of four miles, for £ 25 a side, there being a strong muster present to witness the result. In ar- ranging the preliminary matters Mr Roberts, the proprietor, was chosen referee, and all things being made ready, the pedestrians came to the mark. The odds were in favour' of Richards, but there was little or no money speculated on the result. No sooner had the start been effected than the men went bounding along at a slashing pace, and in their fine style of running kept so well to- gether that there was not more than a yard between them when they went by the referee for the completion of the first lap ( 440 yards), this advantage, however, being just in favour of the Isling- tonian. Throughout the performance of the first, second, and third mile the struggle on the part of the competitors was mag- nificently maintained, and so well had they raced together up to this portion of the distance, that neither of them could besaid to have achieved any decided advantage. Immediately, howerei', they had entered upon the fourth and last mile Richards began to manifest symptoms of falling off, and so completely " used up'' was he on tlie termination of the four- teenth lap ( three miles and a half) that he wa3 compelled to pull up and resign, so that the Islingtonian now being left in undis- puted possession of the field won with the utmost ease. The three rnilesjand a half, this being up to the time when the Welshman was beaten off, were run in 22min. HARGREAVES AND BARNET.— These men also contended in a four miles walk, for £ 10. The match was well contested from end to end, and resulted in Hargreaves going in a winner by ten yards. HUNT AND NOADES.— This was a three miles walking match, for £ 10, and after a plnckily sustained struggle finished in Noades going in a winner by 30 yards. DAVIS AND KEEFE.— These men also ran an impromptu race of a quarter of a mile, for £ 10, Davis receiving eight yards start. As they neared the goal Keefe closed on his opponent and went by the goal the winner. MARKHAM V TIME.— This was a match against the " enemy" in which Markham had been backed to run 10 miles within the hour, for £ 10. From the commencement Markham went rattling along at a winning pace, and accomplished the entire distance in 59min lOsec, so that he won easily with 50sec in hand. ATHLETIC SPORTS AT KING'S LYNN. On Tuesday, June 3, the annual athletic sports established in connection with the Lynn Grammar School came off on the Cricket Field, in the Chase, in the presence of a large and influen- tial assemblage of persons of the town and neighbourhood.

The first event was a Mile Race for three prizes, the following competitors entering:— C. Bass, J. Ellis, R. Childs, W. Harvey, J. Dynes, S. Nichols, H. Steele, and Savage. The match was well contested, the men keeping pretty- well abreast of each other for three- quarters of the distance; Bass then took the lead, but the others kept close upon him; Bass came in first, Savage second, and Steele third. The mile was run in 5min 45sec. Prizes of 15s, 7s, and 3s were adjudged to the respec- tive winners.— In the next event, a Race over 150 Yards, there were twelve competitors.

[ LATEST EDITION.] Horses marked * are in the Derby, t in th ® Oaks, 1 in the Leger. THE TUEF. BETTINS AT TATTERSALL'S. MONDAY, JUNE 1.— The muster was unusually 3& oderate for the eve of the Ascot Meeting, and the actual business transacted proportionately small. Many members were still absent on the Continent, the allurements of " dear delightfel " Paris" having proved too strong to be forsaken in « hurry. Mie international race was the subject of animated discussion throughout a great portion of the afternoon, the triumiph of Tho Banger and defeat of Lord Clifdrn and the French mare possessing apparently greater features of interest for a time than the coming events at Ascot and « l « ; where. It was iaot untiL fee afternoon was con- siderably advanced that the subscribers " backled to" their work, commencsiig operations by so* r* e rather animated speculation on the Ascot Stakes. Old minster was installed as first favourite at 5 to 1, and after he had received considerable support at that price he advanced a point, and money was invested upon him at 4 to 1. At the close, however, the first- named odds were again obtain- able. Rubicon went back to 8 to 1, and was generally out of favour until towards the close, when his friends put on a " spurt," and at 7 to 1 backed hitn somewhat freely. After 7 to 1 and 100 to 15 had been taken about Captain Crow, he receded to 10 to 1 ( offered). Catch ' em Alive and Victor divided the premiership for the Hunt Cup in the earlier part of the afternoon; subse- quently, however, the former gave way to Mr Hodgman's colt, and ultimately receded to 100 to 8, at which price Polynesia was in demand. Nothing but Tim Whiffler would " go down" for the Ascot Cup, the slightest shade of odds being eagerly snapped up. The Marquis, after having been backed for a trifle at 6 to 1, re- ceded to 10 to 1 ( offered), and 8 to 1 was easily obtainable about Buckstone. 100 to 10 was laid against Tim Whiffler and The Marquis being the first two, and an even " century" on The Ranger against The Marquis. For the ieger, The Ranger deposed Lord Clifden, and was installed as first favourite on the strength of his victorj' in France, 6 to 1 being taken about him, although not to any considerable amount. 8 to 1 each was taken about Queen . Bertha and Lord Clifden, the latter, however, receding a point, and Saocharometer was backed at 18 to 1. For the Derby, 1,000 to 55 was taken about Blair Athol, and 20 to 1 about Scottish Chief. Otherwise the subjoined quotations require no further comment. ASCOT STAKES. MONDAY. Oldminster Fobert 5 to Rubicon Pry or 7 to Bro to RapidRhone. T. Dawson .... 8 to Bandage Canary Knutsford ...

STAMFORD RACES.— The following stakes of this meeting close • on Tuesday next, at. Messrs Weatherby's :— The Burghley Stakes, Welland Stakes, Welter Cup, and Stamford Cup. Manwood ( h b), by Oulston ( the winner of the Hunters' Stakes at Warwick), is advertised for sale by Messrs Tattersall to- morrow ( Monday). Some welchers posted a list on Epsom Race Course using the well- known name of Messrs" Holt and Cruck," ofLeeds. We need scarcely mention that the latter gentlemen knew nothing about it. It lias now been determined to postpone the sale of the late Sir Tatton Sykes's stud to Sept 10. 11, and 12, the last three days of the week preceding Doncaster Races. Mousetrap, 5 yrs, was sold at Manchester on Friday week, for 10 sovs, to Palmer, of Hednesford, who subsequently disposed of her for a " tenner" more. Liberality, 4 yrs, accidentally broke his leg last Monday at the Stokesley Meeting, through running against a pony on the course, and was destroyed. Mr Savile, on receiving the stakes for the Grand Prix de Paris, generously handed over to the Prefect de la Seine 10,000f (£ 400) for the poor of Paris. Owing to the former fixture of the Lincoln Autumn Meeting clashing with the Kelso Meeting, it has been changed to Oct 19 and 20, instead of the 20th and 21st. The owner ef Adventurer refused an offer of £ 3.000 from a noble lord for the horse before he ran for the Queen's Vase at Ascot, and there is no truth in the report that he broke down after running in this race. George Fordham, who met with an accident in the first race at Ascot on Thursday last, through Curie falling with him, was much better on Friday evening, though confined to his bed, being very much bruised and shaken. Died, at Asbgill, on Monday, the 1st inst, late of Stud Farm, Low- street, near Bedale, aged 27, Philip, third son of Mr John Osborne, of Ashgill, Middleham. He was a kind and good young man, much beloved awl respected by all who had his acquaintance. BEVERLEY, HULL, AND EAST HIDING RACES.— The Stewards for these races, which take place on the 17th and 18th of June, are Sir George Strickland, Bart; F. Watt, Esq; and H. B. Thomp- son, Esq. Several stakes have yet to close, and will be advertised in next Bell's Life. The following horses are for sale by private contract, at Mr T. Stevens's:— The Saxon, 4 yrs ; Villager. 4 yrs; Village Lad, 3 yrs; Banqueter, 3 yrs; Edith, 3 yrs; Miss Edmondson, 3 yrs; Brown Betty, 3 yrs; Mountain Doe, 3 yrs; Bucolic, 3 yrs; Alphington, 2 yrs; Miss Windhound, 2 yrs. TREAT TO POLICE AT ASCOT.— On Tuesday evening the whole of the policemen of the A division engaged in keeping the course, & c, were entertained with an excellent supper at the expense of Captain Seymour, whose health was drunk in a bumper, and a very pleasant evening passed. Mr Sidebottom, a gentleman well known in the sporting world, died suddenly during the early part of the past week, in his bath room. Mr Sidebottom's name became more especially familiar with the public some few years since, in connection with some gambling transactions, in which the deceased was the sufferer, and as a consequence the complainant. It is our painful duty to have to record the death of John Doyle, jun, of the Curragh, from theeffects of the fall he received when riding The Dodger for the Commercial Plate at the late Tipperary Races. There were few better jockeys, either on the flat or across country, in the kingdom, and he was highly respected for his up- right character and straightforward conduct on all occasions. HERTS YEOMANRY TROOP RACES.— These races are to be held at Hatfield on Wednesday, June 17. The Stewards will be Viscount Maiden, Capt Whittinstall, Capt Halsey, and Capt Toulmin. No horses will be allowed to run which have not been ridden in the recent drill at Hertford; and further, no horse will toe allowed to take a cup unless he is bond fide the property of his . declared owner. The last of the yearling sales to keep men about town will take gelace this day ( Saturday), at Middle Park, when Mr Blenkiron's lot will come under Messrs Tattersall's notice. No man has ever gone more heartily into the business of breeding for the Turf than Mr Blenkiron, while his judgment and liberality are now only Eneeting their due reward with some of the best prices of the day. The present offering runs to no less than 41 lots, many of which are very highly spoken of by certain . good judges who have seen them. We shall give the prices in our Latest Edition, and a full report ot the sale in next week's paper. GEE AT YARMOUTH RACES,— There is some prospect of a race meeting - taking place, after all, this year at Great Yarmouth. A meeting was held at the Angel Hotel on Tuesday evening, Mr F. Barnby presiding. After some discussion and a fair proportion of the amount, owing to the committee, being guaranteed, £ 70 was subscribed in the room, and collectors were appointed to visit the various districts of the town. The total sum required to carry on the meeting is £ 350, and of this amount the inhabitants are now asked to eantribute £ 130. Che borough members usually give £ 25 each, , tiie county members for Norfolk and Suffolk £ 5 each, & e. The valuable steepie chase horse Mont Blanc met with a serious accident in a horsebox at the Limerick Junction, on his return from the Tipperary Steeple Chases. The servants , of the company shunted the box " upon the Limerick line, and a train coming up came into collision with it . From the concussion the muscles of the neck and hind quarters of the horse were materially injured. Although Mr Moore, the owner . of the horse, was in the train, he was not informed of the aecideift until he reached Kiidare. and found his horse injured, as stated above. Tke lad ixt. elisrge of the horse was also considerably hurt. ASCOT 1AGES. Stewards : The Earl of Bessbowrtigh, the Earl of Coventry, the Hon Admiral Rous, and C. Alexander. Esq. Judge: Mr J. F„ Clark. Starter: Mr T. M'< George. Clerk of the Course: Mr James Manning. For years past the Ascot meeting has enjoyed but scantily the patronage of royalty. The visits of the Court have been few and far between, and the title of " Royal Ascot" seemed at times very like a misnomer. During the last two years, indeed, the absence of Her Majesty was unavoidable, and on the last anni- versary death had but too recently deprived eur beloved Queen of her amiable and gifted husband, when the appearance of the closed Royal Stand formed a melancholy feature in that otherwise glad, some scene. Once more, however, Ascot can fairly lay claim in full to its hereditary honours, for the Prince of Wales has shown un. mistakeably how heartily he enters in the enjoyment of the na- tional sport; and the announcement that the Princess would accom- pany him to Ascot on this occasion gave an immense impetus to this always favourite and aristocratic gathering. We here repeat what we lately said on the occasion of the Prince's visit to Epsom, that we hail his anticipation in the national pastime as a good token and a sure sign of his future popularity; and we would remind those persons who are* apt to form erroneous and distorted views of the effect of a love of racing upon the more important duties in connection with matters of Government and affairs of State, that both the present Premier, Lord Palmerston, and the Ex- Premier, Lord Derby, are as ardently attached to it as any two gentlemen in the land. How far their love of sport has ever interfered with the discharge of their official duties, or how far as true lovers of the Turf, they have upheld the dignity of the country, and devoted themselves to the public service, we leave to the said public to judge for themselves. That Lords Palmerston and Derby have done for the Turf we trust the Prince of Wales may only eclipse. We would wish him to devote the business of his life to the service of his country, and a portion at least of his leisure in intermingling with his future subjects in the celebra- tion of their national pastime. The manifold improvements effected in the arrangements of the Grand Stand and enclosure and also in the management of the meeting have already been noticed in our columns, and have been found to work admirably. The demand for the private boxes and ttalls soon by far exceeded the supply, the accommodation adding materially to the comfort of a large portion of the aristocratic habitues of Ascot, imparting an additional air of elegance to the building. The Royal Stand has likewise been subjected to several improvements. Verandahs have been added for the protection of the royal party entering their carriages so that several may be loaded simultaneously, and the inconvenient detention of the leading carriage of the cortege avoided on its departure. Additional dressing- rooms have also been provided, and in many minordetails the comfort and convenience of the royal visitors considered. The most sweeping reform of all, however, and one which was of all most imperatively called for, has been effected in the enclosure in front of the Jockey Club and Royal Stand. From being accessible to nearly all it is now closed to everybody save a privileged few. A railed passage to the weighing room is formed from a distinct gate on the course, which can only be used by the jockeys going to be weighed, and the remainder of this grass enclosure has re- verted to its original intention— an occasional promenade for royal visitors, for members of the Household and of the Jockey Club, and for those few personal friends of the Master of the Buck- hounds who are fortunate enough to obtain from him the entree to his new stand, from the balcony of which a flight of steps leads on to this lawn. Owing to the courtesy of the Earl of Bessborough this valuable privilege has been extended to the members of the press, an act of consideration on the part of his lordship which we gladly take this opportunity of cordially acknowledging. The judge's chair and telegraph are equally protected by this arrangement, which was rendered necessary by the mass of in- truders that have of late years impeded the Clerk of the Scales in the discharge of his duties, and have virtually kept the royal party prisoners in their box. The only persons who have some right to find fault with the new arrangements are the trainers who have horses running in the different races, and to them certainly some little concession might be made— or, at all events, a larger space allowed to afford them opportunities to confer with their employers. Otherwise no one will complain, save only those who are now excluded from where they formerly were, but had no right to be. Beyond the precincts of the Stand and enclosures many valuable alterations have been made, amongst which may be mentioned the widening of the bottom of the straight mile and several other improvements in the course, while the approach from the station to the Stand, formerly such very bad " going" for pedestrians, has been converted into a good even road, with a fence on each side. The meeting opened Tuesday most auspiciously. Jupiter Pluvius would seem to have expended his forces in damping the holiday expectations of the Derby goers, and the weather was most delightful. The sun shone throughout the day with uninterrupted splendour, and the heat, although excessive, was scarcely regarded as an inconve- nience, so pleased were the visitors with this sudden return of summer. W ithinthe 8tand and enclosures theattendance was quite up to, if not above the average of a " Vase day,'' and if some slight falling off was to be seen— as many affirmed was the case— in the number of carriages at the cords opposite, it might easily have been attributed to the increased accommodation afforded by the private box and stall arrangements referred to above. The Prince and Princess of Wales, accompanied by Prince Leiningen, and attended by the Countess De Grey and Lieut- Col Keppel, arrived by special train from the private station at Vauxhall shortly before the time set for the first race, and at once proceeded in an open carriage and four to their private Stand. By the few who happened to be at the Ascot Station at the time of their arrival, their royal highnesses were received with merely a respectful uplifting of hats, but, on their appearance at their window in the Royal Stand, the Prince and Princess were greeted with repeated bursts of enthusiastic cheering from the crowds on the course. Subsequently the Prince descended to the enclosure, and engaged in conversation with many of his personal friends, amongst whom may be mentioned his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Prince of Orange, and ithe Duke of St Albans ( his college " chum," in the success of whose horse Tippler for the first race his royal highness evidently took a warm interest). The Stew- ards', Jockey Club, and other Stands were thronged a" usual with the elite of the land, to enumerate whom, however, would be tres- passing too far on the province of the Court Newsman, The royal party remained until after the Maiden Plate had been decided, when they left for Frogmore, proceeding along the course to the unbounded delight of the populace, who cheered the young couple lustily asthey proceeded slowly down thenarrow living lane, cleared with difficulty for them by the police. Premising that the sport throughout the day was plentiful and interesting, albeit the course would have been much the better for a little of the rain so readily dispensed with by the wearers of the bright toilettes in the carriages, and on the stands, we will now proceed to the details of the day's racing. The card looked a truly formidable one, the majority of the eight items having huge lots " coloured,'' and large fields were to a great extent the order of the day, an immense number of horses having arrived to fulfil their engagements. Of the entered dozen for the Trial Stakes, the only non- starters were Gentil- homme and Queen of Trumps, and of the remainder Tornado despite the very indifferent figure cut by her in the Oaks, was made premier favourite. Aurelian and Tippler, the latter of whom has shown good form before this season, were next in re- quest, the remainder of the speculation being chiefly confined to Bathilde and Red Cap. Tornado, although she secured a situa- tion, which was more than she did in the Oaks, was in difficulties some distance from home, and Tippler won by an easy neck from Red Cap, and being claimed, leaves Woolcott's stable for John Day's. This preliminary adjusted, the Ascot Stakes next came under notice, and was productive of sixteen runners, just the number that competed for it last year, the absentees of the coloured division being Bellman, Knave, The Plover, and Conical, and of these Bellman had been struck out some time previous. The betting on this event had not been over brisk until the numbers went up. Oldminster maintained his position at the head of affairs, and Captain Crow, after some variation, settled down second best favourite, while Rubicon was very steadily sup- ported to the close. Bandage, Oakapple, and Canary, the latter of whom looked somewhat lusty, were backed at 10 to 1 each, and Brother to Rapid Rhone, Sea Nymph, and Stanton at longer prices. Rubicon, who was " spotted'' as a good thing as soon as the weights appeared, could only secure the second " fifty;" Oldminster got home an unplaced fifth, and by an easy length the comparative outsider, Stanton, proved the victor. After the race people began to discover that the horse— who had given tokens on more than one occasion that he could gallop a bit— was well in, and ought to have been backed at a shorter price than he had been. Indeed, it is difficult to say what his true price was, for while 10 to 1 was taken about him in some instances 15 to 1 was laid in others, the average price being about 12 to 1. Mr Saxon, however, only trusted him to a small amount. The Ascot Biennial Stakes for two year olds brought out a field of sixteen, of whom Light was not without good reason the reigning favourite, Tomato, Alpheus, and Cceur de Lion, being ttie only others backed to any amount. Light " flickered' a good deal in the market, however, before starting, and from 5 to 2 ( taken), receded to 3 to 1 ( offered). She, however, recompensed those who stood her on the strength of her Bath running, for she achieved the victory by a length from Goldy- locks, the latter of whom defeated the Baron filly by a head for the " pony'' for second. Last year, it will doubtless be remem- bered, Blue Mantle scored his first win for this race, and on the repute of his " Ascot form" was so frequently afterwards talked of in connection with the Derby. Eight candidates appeared at the post to contest Her Majesty's Gold Vase, Adventurer, on the fame of his former exploits, being, of course, in much esteem ; but he was run very close at the finish by Wingrave, and Clement, after one of the best races he ever rode in his life, managed to land the favourite by a head from Wingrave. Scarcely had they passed thejpost when a rumour was afloat that the winner had broken down. Such, however, was not the case, for, although the horse, tired and leg weary after his two miles' journey, stopped short soon after passing the chair, he palled up quite sound. The " GoldVase,'' so called, is an Elizabethan silver tankard, sur- mounted by a group from the legend of " Heme, the Hunter." It was manufactured by R. and 8. Garrard and Co. of the Hay- market, and designed and modelled by Mr W. F. Spencer. Her Majesty's trophy disposed of, the contest was aptly succeeded by the Prince of Wales's Stakes, for which fifteen runners were sig- nalled to start, being an excess of three over the number that contested this interesting event last year. Favouritism was awarded to Blue Mantle, and, with King of the Vale out of the way, and with his Derby running in view, the support did not appear mis- placed, despite his 31b penalty. Judex and Vivid, too, had many admirers, the others backed at longer prices being Brother to Morocco, Borealis, Dr Syntax, and Avenger, although the lat- ter's price was not a very definite one. The favourite was beaten some distance from home, and the little- thought- of Avenger and the quondam Oaks favourite were finally left to fight it out, the former landing Lord Stamford's colours victorious by three lengths, Borealis being eased when the case v as hopeless. The winner, as already intimated, was at no fixed price in the bet- ting, and Lord Stamford only had a trifle " on," little antici- pating that the horse would make so successful a debut; for, al- though frequently backed both before and after the accident to his stable companion, Automaton, he has been difficult to train, and was finally beaten in his trial, and Onesander represented Lord Stamford's stable at Epsom in his stead. The Sweepstakes for two year olds, and for which Mr Payne's Brother to Tuccio, Mr Saxon's Anna, and Mr J. Wyatt's Boadicea were entered, did not produce a race, being " off" by mutual consent. Much time had now been lost, and as the Prince of Wales intimated through Lord Bessborough that he was anxious to witness the Maiden Plate, that race was ordered to be run off as quickly as possible, and although no fewer than seven and twenty youngsters started for it, very little delay took place at the post. Custance was to have ridden Rigolboche, but the latter did not start, and he, therefore, was put " up" on Birch Broom, who, in such a huge field, was esteemed good enough to be backed at 3 to 1, Leicester being next fancied at 6 to 1, and how far the talent were right was proved by the result, for the pair ran first and second " the Broom" sweeping Lord Stamford's colt out of the stakes by half a length. The winner made his first appearance at Bath in the Biennial Stakes, won by Crytheia, in which he got badly off. The Queen's Stand Plate brought a heavy day's racing to a close, and a round dozen of various ages were weighed for, Scottish Chief who had been backed for some money in the course of the afternoon for next year's Derby, not being included in the list. It certainly looked a good thing for Umpire, getting, as he did, a liberal " allowance," and Lord Coventry accordingly stood him for a stake, although we must note that Lady Clifden was made the favourite, while Queen of Trumps, a recent purchase of Lord Bateman's, and Brown Duchess had each several friends. Of the last- named lot, however, not one obtained a " situation,'' while Umpire looked like " walking in," until cut- ting it of a sudden he stopped to nothing, and Knowsley, the " worst favourite" of the lot, beat him easily. Betting on the cur- rent events of the afternoon mainly occupied time and attention, and it was difficult for a time to make out what was really the favourite for the Royal Hunt Cup, but Polynesia, Victor, and Catch ' em Alive were most inquired about. For the Leger the highest price laid against The Ranger was 11 to 2, while 8 to 1 each was offered agst King of the Vale and Lord Clifden, After Blue Mantle's defeat he retired to offers of 20 to 1, the highest " bid" agst Avenger being 100 to 8. Very little betting, however, on these events took place. The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 100 added, for two year olds and upwards ; the winner to be sold for 600 sovs, or carry 91b extra; New Mile; 12 subs.

Rogers 0 Betting : 7 to 2 agst Tornado, 5 to 1 agst Aurelian, 11 to 2 agst Tippler, 6 to 1 agst Bathilde, and 7 to 1 agst Redcap. Bathilde made play, closely attended by Muezzin and Imposition on the left, and by Tornado, Tippler, Redcap, and Flirtation on the whip hand, in which order they ran to the royal enclosure, where Lord Chesterfield's mare was beaten, and Redcap showed in advance, but was directly challenged by Tippler, who headed him in the last two strides, and won a good race by a neck, the third finish- ing a length off' and beating Bathilde by about the same. Flirta- tion and Mr Saxon's filly were next together, followed by Coupon, Aurelian, and Muezzin. Run in lmin 57sec. The winner was claimed by the Marquis of Hastings, and goes into John Day's stable. The ASCOT STAKES of 25 sovs each, 15 ft, and 5 if declared, with 200 added; the second received 50 sovs out of the stakes and the third saved his stake; winners extra; two miles and a half; 54 subs, 33 of whom paid 5 sovs each.

Bedouin and Indolence cantered in front to the top turn, when they were pa » sed by Bandage, who con- siderably mended the pace. He was followed by Sea Nymph and the light weight, after whom Bedouin, Investment, Knuts- ford, and Alcestis headed the ruck, in the middle of which were Rubicon, Stanton, Captain Crow, and Oldminster. Only a few yards were covered in this order when Bedouin gave way and soon figured in the rear, having broken down in the off fore leg. Otherwise the positions in front were unchanged till near- ing the brick kilns, when Indolence also gradually dropped astern, and his place was taken by Captain Crow, who, on the retreat of Bandage, half way round the lower bend, showed slightly in advance, with Rubicon and the favourite close up, succeeded by Stanton and Oakapple. Entering the straight Rubicon drew upsides with the Captain, and appeared to have a little the best of it below the distance, when Midgeley brought up Stanton on the left, and taking the lead, he shook off Rubicon in the last few yards, and won by a length. Oakapple, going on to the end, finished third, about six lengths off, Captain Crow being fourth, Oldminster fifth, Lord Glasgow's colt sixth. Investment seventh, and Bandage eighth.

An excellent start was effected after two or three failures, Farn- hurst showing slightly in advance to the road, when the running was taken up by Dispute; his immediate attendants comprised Tomato, Alpheus, Coeur de Lion, and W. Goater's colt, with Goldylocks and the favourite wide of them on the extreme left to the half distance, whence the issue was confined to the last- named pair, of whom Light, with a little rousing, shook off Mr Valen- tine's filly at the Stand, and won by a length, the latter saving second money a head over Tomato, who beat Cceur de Lion by the same, Alpheus finishing a head from him. At a moderate interval Farnhurst was sixth, while Dispute, Night Mail. Outlaw, and Elmsdale headed the next lot, widely scattered, Wild Rake being last. Run in lmin 23sec.

Slow running was made by Hurricane to the turn going out, when Anonyma shot to the fore with a commanding lead, succeeded by Zetland, Hurricane, and Marigold, clear of whom were Atherstone and Wingrave, while Adventurer pulling double brought up the rear to half way down the far side, when Buckenham became the whipper in. In this way they reached the foot of the hill, where Hurricane joined Lord Glasgow's mare to midway in the bottom, after which the others closed up and ran in a body with them round the bend to the straight, soon after entering which the leaders were in trouble and died away simultaneously at the distance. On their retire- ment the favourite's colours were viewed in the van with Win- grave in the centre of the course at his quarters, Atherstone, next the rails, lying up with them. He, however, suddenly closed accounts in the concluding fifty yards, about which time Wells made his effort, and soon afterwards obtained a good neck the best © f Adventurer, but the latter running the longest re- caught the Baron's horse in the last two strides, and won on the post by a head. Atherstone was third, two lengths off, twice as far in ad- vance of Zetland, fourth, and Buckenham fifth, Marigold being sixth, Anonyma next, Hurricane last. Run in 3min 42sec.

In a failure preceding the start Dr Syntax, Igerna, and, Avenger were most prominent of a lot breaking away, the latter when the flag fell being in advance with the favourite. In a few strides, however, Igerna took up the running at a strong pace, followed in a body by Dr Syntax, Gra- titude, Fantail, Blue Mantle, and Vivid, the division immediately in their wake comprising Avenger, Judex, Borealis, Meriden, and the Wasp gelding, whipped in by the already out- paced Weatherbow. Except that at about three- quarters of a mile the Splitvote colt ruptured a blood vessel and dropped from the ruck into the extreme rear there was no important change until after passing the Brick Kilns, where Dr Syntax deprived Mr Valentine's filly of the lead, the latter with Grati- tude thence going on at the Doctor's girths, but were imme- diately headed by Judex, who retained the command round the bottom to the distance, and then compounded, while others in front splitting almost at the same moment, let up Avenger ( previously shut in) and Borealis. In a few strides the two, clear of everything, commenced an exciting head- and- head race, which, however, terminated in Avenger quitting the Malton filly opposite the Stand, and winning easily by three lengths ; two lengths dividing second and third, and a length the third and fourth. Brother to Morocco was fifth, Fantail sixth, the favourite seventh, Weatherbow, Meriden, and Knave of Trumps heading the others, of whom Gratitude and Dr Syntax pulled up without passing the chair, the last being Mr Merry's gelding.

With the least possible delay Mr M'George set his horses going in such magnificent order that for the first quarter of a mile nothing from the Stand was perceptibly leading. Lord Portsmouth's filly and Brother to Canaee it seems, however, held a slight advantage to the road, after which the three placed emerged from the centre and finished the race, the favourite holding his own to the end and defeating Leicester by half a length, Confederate beaten a neck from him.

Premising that the weather continued gloriously fine, and that the attendance was extremely good, we may proceed with- out further preface to a brief review of the doings of the day. Prior to the commencement of the racing attention was directed to the Royal Hunt Cup, and some consternation was caused amongst those who had " rushed" on Polynesia and Catch ' em Alive to find that they were both scratched, the latter at 12: 40, and the former at 1: 4. For the Coronation Stakes four put in an ap- pearance against Lady Augusta, on whom 5 to 4 was betted, and, coming away as soon as Edwards let her out, she cut down her op- ponents in herOneThousand Guinea style, a result that caused sur- prise to be again expressed how such an animal as Sea Nymph could ever have been thought this beautiful filly's superior for the Oaks! Next to this event came the Ascot Derby Stakes, and after some chopping and changing in the betting— for Queen Ber- tha was decidedly the favourite at first— Onesander settled down quietly at 2 to 1, a point in advance of the Oaks victress; and as Lord Stamford had pulled off the opening event—" the Oaks" of the day— " the Derby" was most appropriately added to the for- mer victory, for Onesander landed the well- known colours by a couple of lengths. The result, however, would not probably have been so easy a one but for the accident that befel Brother to Morocco, seeing that the latter beat Onesander by a neck for the Newmarket Stakes. The mishap referred to was caused by Blue Mantle swerving across the Baron's horse just below the distance, and the latter striking into the former's heels caused him to fall, sending Wells " a cropper" to earth, but he fortunately, and al- most miraculously, escaped any injury whatever. A subsequent investigation took place as to how far Lynch could have prevented the accident had he used all endeavours to keep his horse straight Wells, however, did not wish to press the charge of malicious in- tent, and the upshot was that Lynch was dismissed with a repri- mand and caution. After the striking out of Polynesia and Catch ' em Alive, Victor became first favourite for the Hunt Cup, even- tually taking the lead in the betting from The Knave, who, like Tademus, had a host of friends. The number of starters amounted to eight and twenty, but the race was all " oneway,"' for the lightly- weighted favourite took the lead, kept it, and ran home the easiest of winners by four lengths. Victor, who was purchased by Mr Hodgman when a yearling for 100 sovs at Lincoln, appeared but once last year as a three year old, when he figured in the New- market Handicap, for which he was not placed. He had been backed by his owner at long shots for the Derby, but owing to a splint went amiss, and could not be trained. He has for some time been under the care of A. Balchin, who finished his prepara- tion for this event at Winchester, the Epsom ground being too hard for him. His owner was warmly congratulated on his suc- cess, for few men are better losers than Mr Hodgman, who, as a rule, cannot be said to be one of Fortune's especial favourites, and this turn up, by which he lands a fair stake, was a well deserved one. The Royal Hunt Cup, as a work of art, was universally ad- mired. It is a silver vase, upon the foot of which is a group of a stag, a doe, and a fawn; bassi relievi of deer and dogs compose the panels, and on the cover is a figure of Diana with a grey- hound. It was manufactured by Messrs Hunt and Roskell, and designed and modelled by Mr Archibald J. Barrett. We nsay add that Mr Davis, Her Majesty's huntsman— a high authority on such a subject— pronounced the figures of the stags to be perfec- tion. The succeeding T. Y. C. Sweepstakes resulted in favour of Santhal, after a smart finish with the selected Dirt Cheap. The Two Year Old Triennial, for which something like four and twenty were " coloured" on the card, produced eight run- ners, the Derby colt Blair Athol being an absentee. Lord Portsmouth's Becky Sharp, a good- looking filly— as, being own sister to Buccaneer, she is bound to be— was elected first favourite; but the money going on Alcyone, and it being rumoured that Becky had been beaten in her trial, she went back from 7 to 4 to 4 and 5 to 1. Those, however, who trusted her made no mistake, and Jem Goater landed her the winner by a clever neck. The French filly Mdile de Chesnois, though entered for this race in Baron Niviere's name, ran in bright red instead of the Baron's colours; but we may explain that the filly has been lately sold to Prince Etine Beauvau. A " muddle" betided the next event, the Fernhill Stakes, for Baron Rothschild had two fillies entered for it, Tomato and Hippolyta, and he elected that the former should run, and gave orders accordingly. Bysomemisunderstanding, how- ever, as it would appear on the part of the jockey, who came very late toscale, after Mr Manning had left the room under the impression that all the starters had been weighedfor, No. 6( thatof Hippolyta) was hoisted by Mr Manning's assistant instead of No. 5, and the Baron's colours being first past the post, in the race for which Flying Fish was the favourite, the judge caused No. 6 to be put up as the winner. Some commotion was caused in the Ring when the mistake was discovered, for of course the generalimpression was that Hippolyta was the Baron's representative, and not Tomato, which made " all the difference " in the betting. The case stood over until the morrow for the consideration of the stewards, when, as officially noted further on, the race was declared to have been won by Tomato, to whom it was accordingly awarded. Saccha- rometer, better suited over the " old mile" than to the Grand Prix Course, pulled off the Biennial Stakes by three lengths from J udex, who finished about half a length from the second favourite, Tom Fool. At first the numbers of Onesander and Carnival were displayed as starters for the above race in addition to the other nine, but the}' were both taken down again, and the horses were withdrawn. Another field of nine contested the concluding event of the day— the Visitors' Plate— for which there was not a great deal to choose in the betting between Paste, Gardener, Million- aire, and Flirtation, and Mr Bryan's horse, running in his North- ampton form, won easily from the lop- weight, Paste. Very little attempt was made to bet on " the Cup," for which offers were made to back the field agst. Tim Wbiffler.

After a failure Blue Mantle got away in advance, but was d'rectly pulled back, and Jarnicoton took up the running, followed by Capt Lane's colt, the favourite, and Warhose, clear of whom were Brother to Morocco and Queen Bertha. This order was maintained for about a quarter of a mile, when Baron Rothschild's colt became second, Blue Mantle and Onesander going on side by side at his heels to the road, when Lord Stamford's colt took the lead from the Frenchman, Blue Mantle « oing on third, succeeded by Brother to Morocco and Queen Bertha. Thus they proceeded to about two distances from home, when, owing to Blue Mantle crossing in front of the Baron's colt, a collision ensued, and Wells was knocked from the saddle, the horse going on riderless, minus the bridle, which came off in the scrimmage. From this point all left in the y'ace were Onesander and Queen Bertha, and the latter failing to get up was defeated bj' two lengths; bad third; only those placed passing the chair, Newsmonger having pulled up at the Stand, Warhorse, first beaten, cantering in a long way last. Run in 2min 45sec. Wells, who was uninjured, having expressed his belief that it was a deliberate cross, the case, as mentioned in another place, was investigated by the stewards.

Liston's number being removed almost as soon as it was put up, as well as that of Queen of Trumps, who pulled up lame after cantering past, twenty- eight runners faced the starter, the flag being lowered at 3: 25, forty minutes behind time, to a very middling start, several, as the riders expressed it, being left sticking at the post. Not so, however, the favourite, who got away two lengths in advance, and improving as he went on, had nearly twice that advantage after the first hundred yards over Bertha, Argonaut, Prince Plausible, The Knave, Glenorchy, Rubini, and Exchequer composing the division in his wake, Aldcroft, on Knowsley, occupying his old ground to the left of them. There was little variation in these positions until at the road Glenorchy and The Knave singled out from the horses named, but neither approached Victor, who won in a canter by four lengths. Three lengths divided second and third, with about the same interval between the latter and Lord Glasgow's colt, who was fourth, those next streaming home in the order named being Doncaster, the Grey Hen colt, Prince Plausible, Argonaut, and Tademus ; the last lot were Birdhill, Old- minster, Ace of Clubs, Vilette, Cadeau, and Queen of Spain.

With the exception only of the welcome which awaited her arrival in England as the betrothed of the nation's heir, the Princess Alexandra will turn to few more memorable occasions in her early history than the Ascot Cup Day of her marriage year. In all our long experience of this great gala we certainly re- member none so eventful, nor when the incidents of the scene were so likely to be cherished, either by the mere lounger or the keen sportsman. With delightful weather, peculiar facilities of access, and an especial attraction in the promised presence of the prince and his bride, the crowd of well- dressed visitors, always so significant of Ascot, was far greater than ever ; and as everybody seemed to be bound for the Grand Stand, the crush here, even early in the day, was almost indescribable. At every other step you were on the demi- train of some effulgent beauty, who in all the pride of her strength trailed her robe behind her like a valiant Irishman at Dormy brook Fair, and not unfrequently with something of the same kind of feeling being aroused. A lightning glance of anger turned and scorched you as the gathers gave way, and the attendant swain strove to clear the course towards the far haven of the lawn, where mauve and lilac, blue and brown, thefa- vourite colours of the day, grouped themselves in picturesque " studies,'' until scared again by some roving leg, who, bearing down like a pirate on a richly- laden convoy, offered, in mystic phrase, to " lay agen anything, bar one!" As, however, the preparation for the opening race was noticeable, so did the incon- venience of the high holiday increase. Ladies were fairly wedged in where they stood, looking, as they did, with longing eyes to the roomy, half- filled stalls and private boxes now so fearfully encroaching on the due accommodation of a public race stand. But still the hydra- headed followers of fashion paid their money whenever an off chance at the entrances permitted of their doing so, until the enclosure, to say nothing of the leads, or any other possible vantage ground, was one closely- packed mass of thoroughly well- behaved people, whose numbers far outran the accommodation provided. Very early in the afternoon the janitors at one of the exit outlets to the course were fairly broken, and after some very trying delay, hundreds were passed out with- out any check or countersign whatever, to be duly passed in again on the warrant of their own personal appearance; while, later, one of the chief bars in the Stand was cleared out of everything but sherry and champagne— no beer, no brandy, no sand- wiches — and if you aid get a bottle of wine, it was with the distinct understanding that you undertook to break the neck off'yourself, as they were out of corkscrews ! Such incidents as these will, perhaps, best serve to realise the scene, but outside it was much the same ; and many a way- farer after essaying in vain to " find " amongst the carriages was met on his return with the ready retort to his order, that there was " nothing to eat," though for love or money he might be lucky enough in time and turn to quench his thirst. Still Ascot deservedly prides itself on its " manners," and we must again speak to the good temper and nice conduct with which the tens of thousands, willing and anxious to pay handsomely for anything in reason, bore the many difficulties of the situation. It is evident enough that " the ladies' day" of the racing year is now the Cup daj", and their presence served, above anything else, to keep their lords and masters in due order, impressed as the example was by the countenance of the illustrious lady who, herself, entered so warmly into the spirit of the scene. The horses were already saddled for the Maiden Plate when the royal party were seen to be coming up the New Mile, a bird's- eye view that quickly brought the thousands to the sides of the rails. As, however, upon the Tuesday, there was again an utter absence of that state which attends the visit of the Sovereign in person ; and one missed the Master of the Buckhounds and his silver couples, Charles Davis and his yeomen prickers in their scarlet and gold hunting frocks, the many servants with the led riding horses, and other items so apt to the occasion, and that have gone so far to make the procession one of the most impressive and pleasing of all Old England's pageants. An outrider or two in the royal livery preceded the half- dozen carriages, in the first of which the happy pair, sitting vis- a- vis to each other, were readily identified by a rolling cheer that marked their progress up the coui'se and their arrival at the Queen's Stand. Her Royal Highness still adheres to the mauve tints that so well become her, while the Prince is getting to look day bj' day more and more of the Eng- lish sportsman, a fact that will go far to increase, if possible, the esteem and affection in which he is held by his people. Poor Geerge Fordham, who had turned his mare's head as he saw the cavalcade approaching, preceded the party as a kind of avant courier, and by the time the gracious patrons of the pastime were settled and seated the sport commenced, though, unfortunately, not very auspiciously. Scarcely, indeed, was the field fairly off for the Maiden Plate than The Curie blundered, and Fordham, going over her head, appeared to pull the filly upon him; but she was soon away in pursuit of the others, while her jockey in one light- coloured heap of orange and yellow lay ominously still, being, in fact, terribly stunned by his fall. Every attention was of course at once paid him, Lord Coventry, as one of the stewards, going himself to the spot to superintend Fordham's removal, who, complained of nothing beyond the severe shaking, quite sufficient to stay him from riding again during the day, if not for some time to to come. As the return of the racing will show, he thus lost two good mounts, and one which must have credited to aim the great event of the week. Ashrnall had a narrow escape at the same place with the favourite for this maiden hundred— Lord Wilton's Lady Evelyn colt, that with high, round action, more fitted for a charger than a race horse, nevertheless won as he liked. The more renowned of the entries included in the Two and Three Year Old Plate pretty generally de- clining to show for it deprived the race of its interest, the result being in favour of the Irish horse Gem * f the Sea, one of the Gemma di Vergys, and something of a token for a stallion who has but to bide his time. The perfor- mance of King of the Vale for the St James's Palace Stakes must have been so far satisfactory to Baron Rothschild, as demon- strating what an outside chance, even barring accident, his horse ever enjoyed for the Derby, as he had the worse of the match from end to end, whilst the decision went to foreshadow another in- nings for the Russley stable, so much of late out of luck. This was immediately confirmed in the Biennial, where the racing world, utterly at sea as they have been for a Derby favourite, woke up to something like excitement on the appearance of The Scottish Chief, over whose pretensions his party were known to be amazingly sweet. He stripped a very clever racing- like colt, showing after his sire a deal of fashion and blood- like character, but truer and neater in his frame, though a little slack about the loin, and not bringing his hind legs under him quite so cleverly as one could wish to see. The only other at all fancied of this " eleven" was the Knight of Snowdon, but there was nothing inthe race with the favourite, w ho came w hen he 1 iked, won when he chose, and straightway rose to just half his previous price for the Derby. This very naturally increased the confidence of Buckstone's sup- porters for the Cup, the horse having come to a very short price since the close of the previous day's racing, but never threatening to reach the favourite; though the race was very generally re- garded as a match between them and Caller Ou, the only other one in any demand. Tim Whiffler, who, with his fair companion, was the last to show, and who came up from his stable to join in the parade before the royal party, is certainly a much improved horse in appearance since we left him at Doncaster. He has thickened and rounded a bit, while, as the sun played on his satin coat in ever- varying rays, he never looked fitter nor better. But at best he is but a foil by the side of so magnificently- framed an animal as Buckstone, a race- horse all over, but not so far a lucky one, and that some wiseacres, after crabbing him from the time he first appeared here, two seasons since, are now beginning to appre- ciate. There was a certain cool resolution in the way in which he walked down that was very telling, and the two commanded nearly all the public attention; but with " Tim," as he was fondly called, unmistakably the horse of the people. The race will be found described in due place ; but never will the royal pair— long though they may live, and often though they may repeat their visit!— come to witness a finer one! Far away from home it was, as expected, reduced to a match, and at the Stand, Buckstone, who had gradually closed with the other, looked to be winning. That fine jockey, Sam Rogers, contrived, however, to get another effort out of his horse, and both running with great gameness, Mr Clark came to register the first dead heat he ever gave for the Ascot Cup. But we can well remember our first visit to Ascot when, home for the holidays, we saw Sam Chifney on Rowton, win the Oatlands on the Tuesday, the two making a dead heat, with James Robinson and Camarine for the Cup on the Thursday, the mare winning the deciding bout. This was in 1832, the only other dead heat for the Ascot Cup occurring in the second year of its establishment, 1808, when Mr Fermour's Brighton, by Gohanna, " tied " and then beat Mr Butler's Epsom. The result, or rather partial result, tended only to increase the excitement, and thou- sands on thousands who had intended to get away quietly after the Cup made up their minds to see it out; and well were they rewarded for their determination. As with all our great races, it was pretty certain to be run out, but a story in the interim got abroad that Buckstone had been again attacked with the megrims, a bit of sheer rumour that his second appearance in the course went as once to contradict. He marched down for the " Who shall ?'' with the same somewhat deliberate hauteur, whereas Tim Whiffler never showed till he came on, making play by no means kindly, not stealing away as he did with poor Geordie at Doncaster. He took indeed a deal of hustling ; and as Buckstone, with his great stride, lay lurching on his lea, it looked a horse to a hen. Still " nowTiui will find out his weak place!'' or, " that will give him the staggers again !" as Rogers improved the pace sp « > ke to where the sympathies of the crowd were centred. But still Ed- wards was lying handy, never a yard out of his ground, and never coming till his time was due ; in fact, a finer race he never rode. At the distance the other could not get out of his way ; and the big one running as game as a lion, and as straight as a shot, proved himself at last, what we always thought him, " the best horse of his year." It is only right to say that the crowd took to him in a moment, and cheered almost as lustily as even if their own horse had won. The race previous was another near thing, the Baron's Queen of the Vale— a wonderfully well grown, racing- like filly, with great thighs and a deal of appearance— only just landing the New Stakes. At the Stand, Vacuna, another very good- looking mare, had won, and nothing but Wells' finish saved the race. There were several other very noticeable youngsters in this field, such as Lord Glas- gow's Miss Sarah colt, a great ragged, growing horse; King George, very clever, and with a deal of liberty; and the favou- rite, also commendable for the form she stripped te, although offering no further proof for the mint of money laid out on her. Another walk over was enacted amidst a flying multitude wak- ing up at last| to the successive desiderata of the next train, a good wash, and a late dinner. As the still succeeding loads were shipped off, the heath that had caught fire early in the day was still blazing and smoking, though fortunately further afield than the track of the hurrying crowd, or the expensive dresses of the ladies might have been in some danger. it. „ The following notice relative to the Fernhill Stakes of the^ ejpli ceding day was posted in the Enclosure:— 1 THE FERNHILL STAKES ON WEDNESDAY. " Tomato is the winner of the Stakes, but the Stewards fine Baron Rothschild's trainer 25 sovs for not weighing at the proper time, and for neglecting to observe that the wrong number was up. No blame attaches to Mr Manning, the Clerk of the Scales. ( Signed) " BESSBOROUGH, ) " COVENTRY, ( , „ " H. J. Rous, / Stewards." " C. ALEXANDER,^ An occasional contributor thus describes the racing of the day:— f [ The Plate of 100 sovs for maiden horses was unfortunately at- tended by a mishap. Five of the entered half dozen went to the post, and Curie, while in possession of the lead, crossed her legs, fell, and Fordham was dragged some yards along the course* The Lady Evelyn colt, too, came down on his head and Ashmall had a narrow escape of being pitched off; he, however, was soon righted, and landed the favourite an easy winner. It was at first feared that Fordham was seriously, if not fatally hurt, and he was as soon as possible re- moved from the course, every possible assistance, medical and otherwise, being rendered him. Though stunned, and hurt about the head, it was soon apparent that the injuries were not of a se- rious nature, although, as a matter of course, he was compelled to forego his mounts on Gladstone in the St James's Palace Stakes and Buckstone for the Cup— a circumstance sufficiently mortify- ing. Luckily the accident was not witnessed by the princess, as such a sight must of necessity have interfered materially with the pleasure attendant on her " first year at Ascot." Gem of the Sea, a scion of Gemma di Vergy, who got a 101b maiden allowance, beat a large field for the Plate of 100 sovs, for which Erin go Bragh, who of course got no allowance, was most fan- cied. The St James's Palace Stakes was reduced to a match with Gladstone and King of the Vale, the friends of the latter betting 6 to 4 on him, which, however, found eager takers on the part of those who remembered the forward running of the name- sake of the Chancellor of the Exchequer with The Ranger at New- market in the spring. The race was not long in doubt, for Gladstone led from end to end, and the favourite, who looked somewhat " dickey" about the legs, and appeared to go quite lame at the finish over the hard ground, was beaten by three quarters of a length. Next came the Biennial Stakes, which was invested with much interest owing to the debut of Mr Merry's Scottish Chief, who, we need hardly remind our readers, has been backed for a heap of money lately for next year's Derby, at odds averaging about 20 to 1. Of the eleven " twos and threes"— half a dozen of the former and five of the latter— that started in opposition to him, only Knight of Snow- den— whose good looks justified the investment— was backed at anything like a shortish price— 12 to 1 being offered " bar two." The Chieftain fully maintained the prestiye he had acquired, for he came sailing in in the centre of the course and won in splendid style by a length from Master Richard. As a matter of course he had numerous admirers, especially after the race, as winners generally have, but the good opinion expressed of him by John Scott is at all events some proof as to his claim to be considered a Derby horse. After the race he advanced from his former Derby price to 10 to 1, taken so freely that layers were tired out, and a point less was the utmost at last forthcoming. This second victory of the " yellow of Merry" brought the sport forward to " The Cup," which was set to be run for at half- past three. The excitement now became intense, and the huge crowd divided their attention between the occupants of the royal Stand and the competitors for the royal prize. A square being formed, the half- dozen stalkers paraded round prior to entering the royal enclosure, according to custom. At length the gate of the enclosure leading from the course was opened, and Buckstone led the way; then came Eleanor, followed by her stable companion, Tim Whiifler. The crack was succeeded by Carisbrook; then came Hurricane, Caller Ou bringing up the rear. Here we may remark that the absentees " coloured" on the card consisted of The Plover, Zetland, Lord Clifden, The Tartar, Saccharometer, and The Ranger, the latter of whom was struck out about two o'clock. The Marquis had been struck out on Tuesday at half- past five ; for, not being " quite himself," his veteran trainer declined starting him over the granite- like course. Early in the afternoon slight odds were laid on Tim Whiffler, but the money going freely on Buckstone— Mr Merry himself taking 2,000 to 1,000 in one bet of Mr Jackson— Tim declined to evens, and in several instances slight odds were laid against him. Caller Ou was next to Buckstone in esteem at 9 to 2, while 8 to I was offered aganist Carisbrook. There is not much occasion to dwell in this place at any length upon the race itself, which was at the finish— in fact, all the way— little more than a match with the favourite and Buckstone. The latter " collared" Tim at the enclosure, where he headed him, and shouts proclaimed that Buckstone was winning. By a splendid effort of jockeyship, how- ever, Sam Rogers brought Tim Whiffler up in the last stride, and the judge's verdict was, a " dead heat." Loud and pr ' longed cheers greeted the pair as they returned to the weighing- stand after their determined struggle. The other races excited but little interest, for the mass of spectators were eager for the " deciding heat." Vigil upset a warm favourite in Rob Roy for the Selling Plate of 100 sovs, and in the Hew Stakes Battaglia was esteemed good enough to back at evens in a field of thirteen. The winner, however, turned up in the second favourite, Sister to Queen of the Vale, who got up " some- how " to Vacuna, who looked like winning all to nothing, close upon home, and the Baron's filly was adjudged the victory by a head. The Royal Stand Plate went away in a walk over for Wingrave, as the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, as announced on the card, did for Summerside. Then, amid breathless interest, Buck- stone and Tim WhifHer started for the deciding heat. After the dead heat, Buckstone evinced signs of distress, which induced a belief that he was again seized with a slight attack of megrims, and this, coupled with the game finish of Tim Whiftler, led to 6 and 7 to 4 being betted on him. The excitement was unbounded as Tim was seen making the running, Buckstone going within himself fairly and well, and the gazers " held their breath for a time." Buckstone waited to the distance, where he went up to the leader, and in the next few strides the race was virtually over, for Buckstone, shooting ahead of the favourite, won by two lengths. Mr Merry was greeted with a perfect ovation after the race, for his horses are invariably in favour with the public, and cheers followed him from the betting into the royal enclosure. The Cup is a large fiagon, in Rennaissance style, with bas relief, representing Henry V. at Agincourt on one side, and a scene from Shakspere's " Henry IV.'' on the other. " O monstrous ! but one halfpenny worth of bread to this intolerable deal of sack."— Act II, scene 4. It was manu- factured byR. and 8. Garrard and Co, and designed and modelled by Mr W.' F. Spencer. The prince and princess waited to seethe Cup race decided, when they took their departure down the course in the direction of Frogmore. The Princess and theDuchess of Cambridge occupied the seats of honour in the first carriage, and the Prince of Wales was seated beside the Princess Mary in the second. Enthusiastic cheers resounded as the line of car- riages proceeded along the rank, and the splendour of the scene, coupled with the hearty, heartfelt welcome accorded by a free and loyal people, could scarcely fail to render the visit to Ascot a pleasing one to the fair " Rose of Denmark." The Prince entered heartily into the sport throughout the afternoon, conversing at intervals on the lawn with evident gusto with the Duke of Cam- bridge, the Prince of Orange, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, and other noble friends, on the merits of the various competitors. The crush in the Ring was so great that locomotion was difficult, and very little opportunity was afforded for betting on future events. The traffic by rail exceeded by several thousands that of any previous year. From Waterloo it is said the excess was 5,000, and it is small wonder, considering that nearly all the visitors remained to the last on account of the dead heat, instead of gradually dispersing by thousands in the course of the afternoon, that the crush at the Ascot Station was immense, anai that the last voyageurs from thence arrived in town at a very late hour.

Petersham made play, with the favourite in at- tendance to half way down the hill, when the latter stumbled and unseated Ashmall, who clung to the horse's neck, and even- tually got back to the saddle. Petersham meanwhile stole at least fifty yards in advance, but bolted at the next turn, and the Glance colt took up the running. However, before entering the bottom Lord Wilton's colt recovered his lost ground, and passing the Captain's colt three quarters of a mile from home, won in a canter by a length and a half. Kangaroo cantered in next fifty yards off, but pulled up without passing the post, whereby the third place was assigned to Peter- sham, who trotted in a long way last. Run in 2min 52sec. Re- turning to the start, Curie, immediately the signal was given, crossed her legs and fell, and then rising dragged Fordbam some fifteen or twenty yards, during which a kick on the head stunned him, and he was taken up insensible. Fortunately no very se- rious injury was sustained, and consciousness returning, he was enabled with assistance to walk to a conveyance, and thus taken to a cottage, whither surgical aid was forthwith despatched.

The Orphan, on the extreme left, being first to show pro- minently in advance, those next holding forward positions, in the centre of the course, being Scottish Chief, Glendusk, Pro- cella, and Knight of Snowdon for about half a mile, when Lord St Vincent's filly died away, and the favourite pulling double, showed in advance to the half distance, when Master Richard, one of the last off, rushed up on the right, but without reaching the favourite, who won very easily by a length, twice as far dividing Master Richard and the Knight, the latter beating the Colsterdale colt by a head. Glendusk was a middling fifth, Pro- cella sixth, Roseneath and Baldwin next; the last three were Airedale, Gentilhomme, and The Orphan. Run in lmin ISsec.

Though the race was set for 3: 30 it was more than an hour after that time when the parade ceremony was completed and the course cleared of the immense mass of people, whose ringing shout announced the start at about twenty minutes to five o'clock. Eleanor, acting as pilot for the favourite, went away at score, and making the pace as strong as she was able, had a lead of eight or ten lengths over her stable companion, who after passing the Stand •"• as succeeded, at a widish interval, by Buckstone and Caris- c k, clear of whom was Hurricane, the latter from the Swinley ' Wi- i- se lying side by side with Caller Ou in the rear. Save that Carisbrook joined the two mares, who, like himself, were virtually out of the race at a mile and a half, there was nothing note- worthy until Eleanor's mission being ended in the bottom, she disappeared from the front, leaving Tim YVhiifler in command, • waited on by Buckstone about two lengths off. However, when fairly in the straight the latter gradually closed up, and reached the favourite just outside the distance, whence ensued one of the grandest struggles on record, mingled as it was with the shrieks and exultation of the Merryites upon discoveringthat Sam was at • work onJLord WilliamPowlett's horse. The additional excitement raised by this incident somewhat subsided as both came on locked together, only, however, to be renewed with tenfold vigour when Tim tired and Buckstone obtained a neck the best of it at the Royal Stand; but, gamely responding to a final call, he re- caught his op- ponent in the last stride, and made a dead heat, to the agreeable surprise of Rogers, who, in the belief that he had not quite got up, turned to Edwards with the remark, " You've just done me,'' directly after passing the chair. Hurricane was third, fifty yards from the leaders, and the others walked in. Run in 4min 38sec. DECIDING HEAT : 6 to 4 on Tim Whiffler, who, according to orders, cut out the work at a slapping pace to the straight, where the non- favourite drew upsides, and took the lead at the distance, the result of this ever- memorable encounter being that the New- market horse died away at the Stand, leaving the game son of Voltigeur to go in an easy winner by two lengths.

They got away in a line, with nothing decidedly leading until Vacuna showed in ad- vance at the road, followed by Sister to Queen of the Vale, Bat- taglia, and the Mary Copp colt. This was the order in front to the half distance, where the Baron's filly challenged Mr Sutton's horse, and reaching him in the last stride won by a short head. Two lengths separated second and third, King George being fourth; Battaglia, Lengford, the Miss Sarah colt and Linda heading the ruck, at the tail of which were Count Lagrange's filly and Aunt Judy.

Mr R. Ten Broeck's Summerside, by Lexington, 8st 31b G. Parsons walked over FRIDAY.— A dull, cold, and windy morning ushered in a most disagreeable day. Throughout the afternoon a small driz- zling and penetrating rain fell without intermission. The Stand was but very thinly attended, and a mere sprinkling of profes- sionals occupied the enclosure. Altogether the scene was utterly dreary and comfortless, and a more striking contrast to the unex- ampled beauty and brilliancy of the day preceding could scarcely be conceived. The promise of sport held forth by the card also exhibited a great falling off, and comparatively meagre fields started for the different events, which were generally disastrous to backers. The great length to which our account has already extended necessitates but brief comments on the last day's racing, and indeed the sport was of so uneventful a description as merely to call for passing remark. Capt Lane's Glance colt upset a potin the opening 100 sovs Plate, for which three started. 7 to 4 was laid on Harvest Moon, who, however, was never in the race, the issue being left to the Glance colt and Miss Taft, the former winning with ease. Of thefivestartersforthe Three Year Old Triennial Stakes John Scott's two alone were fancied. At first Queen Bertha was backed at evens against the field, but subsequently Early Purl took pre- cedence of the Oaks winner, who receded to 2 to 1. The result proved an exception to the rule that " second thoughts are best,'' as Queen Bertha literally walked away from Mr Bowes's colt. The Railway Stakes proved another " facer" for the backers, Walloon easily stalling off the two favourites. Only six of the eighteen coloured started for the First Class Wokingham Stakes, and ano- ther easy win was the result, the second favourite, Exchequer, hav- ing no difficulty in defeating the first, Confidence. Walloon's easy victory for the Railway Stakes caused him to be in- stalled a hot favourite for the Second Class Wokingham Stakes. He did not, however, again land his backers' money, an outsider again winning, viz, Mr Payne's Catalpa colt. The first turn up for the backers was the 50 Sovs Plate, which was won in a common trot by Hypermnestra, who was backed against the small field opposed to her at evens. Birdfinder alone com peted with Caller Ou for the Queen's guineas, long odds being laid on the mare. Any chance the young one might have had was put out by his running out at the stables, for although he subsequently made up his ground surprisingly, the mare ( who ran in her shoes, there being no anticipation of opposition) came home the winner without an effort. Although 7 to 4 was freely laid on Tolurno for the Borough Plate he took but little part in the race, and Lord of Linne cantered in with great ease. The meeting was brought to a close by a 50 Sovs Plate, for which the spotted Vigil added to the good fortune of the layers of odds, being beaten after a very fine race by Southport by a head. Thus terminated the most brilliant of meetings ever held at Ascot. As usual, Mr Superintendent Walker was in command of an admi- rably efficient body of the A division. Any one who saw the difficulties they had to surmount in clearing the course on the Cup day of the undoubtedly loyal but very tiresome people, who, despite of all persuasion, would stand " garping" at the prince and princess, ceuld not fail to give the " force" credit for extreme moderation and temper in the very difficult duty they had to perform. Inspectors Bradshaw, Eccles, Baldry, Bryant, Ceaplin, and Silverton ably seconded their chief, and they in their turn were admirably supported by the " rank and file." Considering the difficulty under which Mr Careless laboured, the catering department was most efficiently conducted. " First come, first served,'' was of course the order of the day on Thursday, and in the later part of the afternoon there was necessarily something very like a famine. Mr Careless deserves commendation for his moderate tariff, the charge for refreshments being in many re- spects far more reasonable than those exacted elsewhere.

THE GRAND PRIZE AT PARIS. ( FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SUNDAY, MAY 31. — When the Greeks used to assemble at Olym- pia, the greatest features of their games seemed to consist of a ri valry between the several States of that once noble country, and the works of the ancient writers tell us that even in that day this rivalry was considered to produce'. a deal of usefulness, Jfor it served to keep up a connecting link between one State and another, and was the means of strengthening their mutual interest. If then in that age— when the arts were confined within narrow limits ; when the instinct of invention was hardly understood, and when men lived only within their own immediate sphere— it was considered that an exchange of ideas was almost necessary to bring about useful results, how much more does it become a necessity in this age— when art and invention have arrived at a perfection that makes research a difficulty— for nation to strive with nation in friendly rivalship. The future historian, however, would have nothing to deplore in this respect, for it is probable that within the last^ twenty years there has been a greater intercourse between the great- nations of the world in those matters that tend to a mutual interest than there has been known in the aggregate during half as many previous centuries ; for all the greatest countries of Europe have held their international exhibitions for the encouragement of art and in- vention. Agriculture has been encouraged by similar exhi- bitions, and now, even down to the canine race, we see France striving with England for the palm of superiority as concerns their respective species. It is, therefore, not to be wondered at that the noblest and most useful animal in creation, " The Horse,'' should come in also for his share of the general esteem of man, and that the spirit of rivalry on his account should exist amongst nations. That England has always been in front of other countries in all that appertains to the equine race is a fact beyond dispute; but of late years France has borrowed her blood, has copied her main principles of breeding and racing, and has so far reached perfection as to stand second to England only in this respect. That she has become a worthy rival has been proved at Goodwood, Epsom, and Newmaket; and at last she invites England, with the rest of the world, to a trial of superiority on her own ground, for a prize unparalleled for value in the annals of racing. When the Grand, Prix de Paris was proposed, how its conditions were decided, and everything that has transpired concerning it since that period, has all been fully placed before our readers; suffice it to state that the interest that might have been expected to attach to it has somewhat abated during the last three months, for during this time the Derbys of the two countries fully occupied every attention on both sides of the water, up to within the last fortnight, when each event was handed down to the chronicles of the past, and then the Grand Prize suddenly became the sole topic of con- versation amongst all racing circles, both in London and Paris. The betting, which had hitherto been confined to the latter metro- polis, and there only in a very small way, now opening in full force at Tattersall's, and curiously enough the first favourite was chosen out of the French division in La Toucques. the easy victress of the French Derby and Oaks, whilst the one that was second, though generally supposed to be the real winner of the English Derby, was only second in demand. Some accidents, however, that occurred in the latter event founded several ideas that there were others also in that contest that might reverse results on a fresh occasion, and so opinions as to what would be the real finale of the Grand Prize were various, and the four— LaToucques, Lord CHfden, Saccharometer, and The Ranger— were spiritedly sup- ported during the preceding week; telegrams going be- tween London and Paris all day about them ; so the interest that has been recently taken in the race can be well imagined, and towards Friday Paris became perfectly crowded with English, the hotels in many cases having to refuse, and in the Grand Hotel, that makes up seven hundred and fifty beds, six hundred were taken during Friday and Saturday by our countrymen. Amongst these were to be found a great many of our English bet- ting men, including Messrs Jackson, Steele, Stephenson, Morris, Bignel, Gideon, Holt. Ingham, Christie, Havill, Taylor, & e, and this division paid their subscription of a louis to the betting room at the hotel on Saturday night, when opera- tions commenced at half- past eight, very quietly at first, by a few of the French division settling a few bets on the previous Versailles meeting, but as soon as the English came in the noise commenced in the Ring fashion of our country. Messrs Jackson and Steele, not having French tongues, could not get their prices responded to quite so quickly as they are accustomed to, so as the evening advanced both got louder and louder in their offers, causing no end of merriment and laughter by their Jonn Bull style, and especially when one of them getting no reply to an offer of 12 monkeys against Hospodar, asked the friend next to him to translate " monkeys to ' em." Altogether betting was very brisk throughout the evening, La Toucques being very firm at 2 to 1, at which price she was backed for £ 10,000, but Lord Clifden seemed to have a cloud hanging over him, for backers refused to take 3J to 1, at which price Saccharo- meter was supported for a little, and The Ranger was firm at 5 to 1, being coupled with Saccharometer against the favourite at 5 to 4. The bettors seemed inclined to go on until the morning, but the authorities of the room turned the gas off a little before twelve o'clock, when the poll stood as follows :— 2 to 1 agst La Toucques I 12 to 1 agst Hospodar 7 to 21 _ i , Clif( 5en 25 to 1 Donnybrook 4 to 1/ - Lora unaen I 30 to 1 Grande Dame 7 to 2 Saccharometer 30 to 1 Damier 5 to 1 The Ranger Sunday morning dawned with a dark and cloudy sky that threatened dismal prospects for the great racing carnival of France, for it seemed quite probable that a heavy storm was coming on, as the night had been hot and sultry, which had made us exchange the realms of Morpheus for a stroll in the Boulevards at an early hour, at which time even preparations seemed in pro- gress for a great holiday, as people already in their Sunday attire were seen striking off for the Bois de Boulogne, and empty omni- busses kept driving up to the hotel yards bearing large placards containing the words " Bois de Boulogne" and " Le Grand Prix de 100,000f." It was not, however, until nearly twelve that a general start was made for the course, and from that time until two a continuous stream of carriages was visible from the Champs Elysees to the gates of Longchamps, the sight then from the Stands almost surpassing anything we have ever seen; for the crowd over every part of the course was enormous, the dark mass that densely filled the whole valley bearing a singular contrast with the light green shades of the overhanging forest. Frith has painted Epsom Downs on a Derby day, but his series will not be completed until he has taken Longchamps on the day of the Grand Prix. The racing commenced precisely at two, amidst a heavy shower of rain, three bad ones only coming together for the Selling Race ; and the result was in favour of Bonne d'Eufant, which was a satisfactory commencement, as she belongs to one of the oldest patrons of French racing. Half- a- dozen then came out for the Prix du Conseil General, and lAventuriere, with good odds against her, landed this, Semiramis, the favourite, only getting fourth, which is queer running, for she has shown form twice this season that would beat l'Aventuriere at a stone. The confederacy's other representative in the Prix des Pa- vilions, Alerte, also ran much below her form to be beaten by such second- rate three year olds as Don Jon and Victot Pontfol. The Grand Prix was placed fourth on the card, and for it exactly twelve were iwaiting in the paddock; these were now, therefore, the objects of general inspection, Lord Ciifden receiving a great deal of attention, though, notwithstanding his fine blood- like ap- pearance, a good many did not like him much, whilst those who saw him at Epsom declared that he; did not look so well as he did then. The Ranger was considered rather a plain looking one, though people thought he looked useful; and Saccharometer, who looked none the worse for his late accident, was liked © n seme sides, but on others he was thought to be too short a herse. La Toucques naturally came in for a good deal of gape seed from the English division, and she was generally pronounced a fine slash- ing filly, some appearing quite astonished at her make and shape, which they said was quite furnished enough for a seven year old. The race will be found faithfully described below; for, although the stands were so crowded that we got a wretched place to see it, we have spared no trouble in obtaining every detail from the jockeys, & c, and, fortunately, one whom we can rely upon stood at the start, and was, therefore, close by when the real struggle took place between The Ranger and La Toucques. And this re- minds us, by the by, that ere another anniversary we shall make a special request to the authorities to have a little space railed off for the representatives of the Press, for we feel sure the English paper readers would be ever anxious to have a correct account of such a great race, and by the courtesy that is always extended towards ourselves and others by the authorities we are inclined also to believe that they also like their doings to be properly reported, which was rendered extremely difficult last Sun- day. The race, it will be seen, was run at a great pace, and, from every account that is told us, it would appear that La Toucques, Saccharometer, and Lord Clifden were in difficulties a mile from home, viz, at the top of the hill, so that the position that they relatively gained at the finish denotes to the credit of each a great amount of gameness and quality. As for Lord Clif- den and La Toucques, we think that both will considerably better their present performances, for the horse was evidently not him- self, as he went very short, and on pulling up was blowing just like one short of work, which tallies with what we have heard, namely, that he only cantered during the four days he was in Paris. But with regard to the mare we think that Fobert made a great mistake in allowing A. Briggs to return to England after the French Derby, and to leave her at Chantilly with only a boy. Whether she could have been any better last Sunday is a matter of opinion, but we are certain of one thing, that a deficiency of a single gallop prior to such a race as last Sunday's might make a deal of difference, The success of The Ranger was hailed with great satisfaction by the English, for with him many win great stakes, the sum total that leaves France over the race amounting, we are told, to about £ 160,000, though Mr Saville wins hardly anything excepting the stakes and cup, which is not such a handsome piece of plate as we antici- pated it would be, not being particularly large or elegant. It stands about 26 inches high, in the Renaissance style, mounted with the figure of a child distributing wreaths, and the handles are attached to the neck by lions' heads, and to the body of the vase by scrolls and horses heads. On the sides are two escutcheons, one bearing the words " Grand Prix de Paris, 1863," and the other " Offert par S. M. L'Empereur.'' We must add that Mr H. Saville on receiving the stakes handed over to the Prefet de la Seine 10, OOOf (£ 400) for the poor of Paris. Our report would be very incomplete without mentioning one more circumstance connected with this great day, namely, the reception o : the Emperor by the English visitors. His Majesty drove up in a carriage and four with outriders, and was accompanied by the King of Portugal, the Prince of Orange, and the Duke de Brabant, shortly before the great race was run for. The Princess Anna Murat, the Princess Mathilde Murat, and Prince Murat, were also present. On appearing at. the window of the Imperial Stand his Majesty was received with three tre- mendous cheers from the English, who had all congre- gated together just below. The British hurrahs were repeated several times, and with still greater spirit than ever on the arrival of the Empress, about five minutes afterwards. These expressions of gaod feeling on the part of the English seemed to give great satisfaction to both their Majesties, and we thoroughly believe that amongst the many who were pleased that an English horse was the winner of the Grand Prix none were more so than the Empe- ror of the French. Amongst the English noblemen and gentlemen present we may name Lord Zetland, the Duke of Hamilton, Lord Durham, Lord Orford, Lord Hastings, Lord Strathmore, Lord Coventry, Lord Winchilsea, Lord Hopetoun, Sir George Army- tage, G. Payne, Esq, Captain Saville, & c. PRIX D'ARMENVILLE of 2, OOOf, for three year olds and upwards ; entrance lOOf; weight for age ; the winner to be claimed for l, 500f; lm 3fur ; 3 subs.

Except that Sarcelle took third place on round- ing the first turn, there was hardly any change in positions until reaching the far end of the straight on tne opposite side, when Grand Puissance was beat, and Sarcelle then waited upon Benjamin to within two distances of home, and looked all over the " winner for the next hundred yards, when l'Aventuriere came up through her horses with a rush, and, taking the lead below the corner of the Stands, came in an easy winner by two lengths; Benjamin finishing a tolerable third, with Semiramis close up to hiia, fourth, Grand Puissance being the next, and Chorus was beaten off last.

Alerte and A la Rescousse lay together, aad continued in front with a clear lead over the brow of the hill, and almost to the dip on the other side, when both fell back beaten, and almost immedi- ately after, Don Jon and Victot went to the front, the two coming round the turn nearly together, with Falendre lying well up with them to the distance, where be parted company, and the race was then left to the young ones, Don Jon, who ran the gamest, get- ting the best of it some yards below the chair, and winning at last by a neck, Falendre" finishing a bad third, four or five lengths off.

It is generally the custom at Longchamp for the horses to walk for about a hundred yards up the course as soon as they come out of the enclosure, and then turning round, to canter down to the post; but on this occasion, all, with the exception of Princet, were first walked down towards the post, and then each cantered up past the Stands, Baron de la Rochette meeting his treop on their return, and fortunately he found no greater trouble in getting them into the places they had drawn for than he did at Chantilly for the Derby. It was, therefore, not a difficult task to get them in line, as none attempted to break away, excepting The Orphan, who was pulled back again inasecond, for Challoner quietly called out to his junior not to be in a hurry, and in the next instant the flag fell to a remarkably even and beautiful start. Hospodar, quickest upon his legs, had a slight advantage, but Pratt seemed to have no inclination for a front rank during this part of the race; so that, after a few strides, it was apparent that three or four nearest the rails — Hospodar being on the extreme outside — were those likely to take at first the most prominent positions. This division comprised Lord St Vincent's two, Demon, Princet, and Saccharometer, though, on settling into their places, whilst running up to the Stands, both Lord Clifden and Saccharometer fell back to the rear, The Orphan at the same time taking up the running, closely followed by Demon and Princet, with Damier, Donnybrook, and Grand Dame lying next, and then in a group came Mons Nardonie, La Toucques, and the three English favourites, with whom also was Hospodar. The first alteration in this order of running was made by Damier as they came to the Wmdmill turn, where he rushed away through his horses, and reaching The Orphan raced with her to the foot of the hill, when Reeves, perceiving that it was useless to pump out his filly, indulged her with a pull, which gave M Aumont's horse a clear lead, and this he maintained about half way up the hill. Here the pace beginning to slacken induced The Orphan to go up again, and taking the premiership once more, she made the pace a regular clipper for the re- mainder of the ascent, during which time, however, there was not any material change in the several positions, excepting that Lord Clifden was seen quite two lengths clear of everything in the extreme rear. On nearly reaching the brow The Ranger drew away from Saccharometer, with whom he had been so far keeping company, and creeping up very quickly, took the second place, just before they turned round to go down the hill on the other side. Here Demon and Damier, both beaten, fell back behind Lord Clifden, who now improved his position by going up to Sac- charometer, and the two then went on together, having Princet just between them, and in front of them Mons Nardonie, Grand Dame, and Donnybrook; this division beingheaded by La Toucques, The French filly waited on The Ranger until they had come nearly into the dip, where The Orphan retired, and a tremendous race now commenced between the favourite and The Ranger, the latter always keeping in front; but as they swept round the last turn, aneckonlv divided the two, the filly running asgameas only a good one can run, for although dead beat she answeredthree stripes of the whip with efforts that looked for a momeit like beating the gallant son of Voltigeur. But there was no de- ficiency of gameness on his part either ; and running con- siderably the longest, enabled him to uphold the honour of Old England by coming in easily at last the winner by a length. Saccharometer, who gained so much ground from the last turn to the distance as even to look dangerous at that point, finished a bad third, three lengths from the favourite, and only just a length in front of Donnybrook, who was fourth, with an in- terval of what the judge gave as two lengths, but which was rather longer, we think, separating him from Lord Clifden. There was another clear interval for the Italian representative, Mons Nardonie, who was sixth, followed by Hospodar, Princet, and Grand Dame, in the order named, and Demon and Damier were the two last, beaten off a long way.

Choisy le Roi made strong running, attended upon by Panique, with the others lying in a group several lengths in their rear until coming down the hill, opposite Baron de Roth- schild's chateau, when Roques and Frontignan joined the leading pair, and at the last turn Provocateur also drew up. Panique was then the first to give way, and at the distance Roques was also beaten, which left Frontignan alone to fight it out with M Schickler's horses, and the weight telling at last on Choisy le Roi enabled the other to win rather cleverly by a neck ; three clear lengths separating Provocateur from the pair.

Few events of late years have created more interest in racing circles than the establishment of the " Grand Prix de Paris," although the time of fixture was not a very judicious one, coming in, as it did, between the two great English meetings, Epsom and Ascot, where English horses have so many important engage- ments. As we remarked last week, to hear a French race betted on as freely at Tattersall's as in Paris, and to hear of the emigra- tion 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 the efficacy of racing in allaying personal prejudices and political frenzies. The " emigration movement," as already indicated, included both Londoners and provincials, and, disclaiming any personal prejudice on the subject, we are compelled to acknowledge that the travellers comprised some rather odd specimens of our countrymen, who were certainly calculated in no small degree to astonish the natives of " La Belle France.'' The outward bound division of the town and country talent con- trasted, doubtless, strongly with the tide of English visitors who generally invade the Boulevards and the Champs Elysees. The prospect of a contest in which four or five of the most prominent favourites for the past Derby were to contest with the flower of the French Turf, for a prize unexampled in value in the annals ef French racing, was quite sufficient to ensure the presence of most of the prominent English speculators. Calais and Boulogne were on the Friday and Saturday invaded by a motley group of " noble Britons" from North and South. Profoundly ignorant of the " lingo" as were most of them, they had yet sufficient " nous" to hold their own against the hordes of touts and hangers on who infest the quays of these favoured but somewhat cloudy watering places. Indeed, with a wonderful and cosmopolitan intuition these harpies speedily discovered that the voyageurs in question were " not to be done,'" and were perforce obliged to abandon all designs on their pockets and persons. The peculiarities of our insular " book men" called forth wondering comments from our lively neighbours. The gigantic proportions of " the Infant," for instance, were the subject of undisguised astonishment. " Tiens e'est Heenan le grand boxeur" was remarked in our hearing on landing at Calais. Amongst the flaneurs on the Boule- vards were to be seen for several days before the eventful Sunday groups of grave and preoccupied Islanders, who contrasted forcibly with the gay and dibonnaire Parisians. In garments of strange hues and somewhat " kiddy" cut they attracted considerable attention, as, regardless of the un- equalled beauty and vivacity of the scene around them, they loudly discussed Lord Clifden's chances, and The Ranger's running. At the Mabille, the Chateau des Fleurs, and in the theatres they were to be found, these representatives of sporting Albion, " assisting" at, but scarcely participating in, the amusements so eagerly entered into by our neighbours. On the Saturday preceding the race, however, the chief centre of attraction was the Grand Hotel de Paris, in the Boulevard des Capucines, where lately a subscription room has been established, much on the same plan as that of our Tattersall's, and which therefore may be, as a wag remarked, literally called the hotel des paris, a pun only pardonable for its internationality. On this occasion the salle echoed to sounds never before heard w'ithin its walls, and stentorian lungs so familiar at Newmarket, Doncaster, and elsewhere, created no small amount of amusement and wonder in Paris. The race course at Long- champs, in the Bois de Boulogne, is but a very easy drive from the centre of the city, and is one of the most delightful and charm- ing places of sport in the world. The natural beauties of the spot have been enhanced by theadmirabletaste for which in all such matters the French people stand pre eminent. The Grand Stand is of a design at once original, elegant, and convenient, although it must be confessed that, under the exceptional circumstances of the day, the accommodation it afforded was somewhat inadequate. Many who had lingered late in the saddling enclosure, including the owners of most of the runners, found on their arrival at the summit that they were unable to obtain even a glimpse of the course. Art in all directions has been called into requisition to assist nature in presenting a coup d'oeil of singular beauty, while the contrast between the scene at Longchamps and the ordinary details of an English race course are most striking. Racing, arid racing alone, would seem to be the dictum of the Societe d'Encouragement, as none of the diversions so popular at our great gatherings were here to be found. No equivalents to " knock ' em downs'' or " Aunt Sallies'' were tolerated. Shows of any kind there were none. Even itinerant performers were for- bidden to discourse their sweet music, while the " drinking booths" were limited to one small refreshment tent. There was, however, nothing lost by the absence of what in England constitutes the bane of racing. The serried ranks of car- riages contained matchless wearers of matchless toilettes, and the whole effect of the scene was at once picturesque and pleasing, the rampant blackguardism but too common at our meetings, large arid small, being entirely absent. - Another great feature in the scene was the entire absence, in its official sense, of the army. The course, instead of being kept as was whilom the case at the point of the bayonet was cleared with ease and efficiency by the sergens de viae. A detachment of the newly- formed regiment of the Spahis, it is true, were on the ground, but only in an amateur capacity, and their quaint Arab costumes, together with their wonderful menage of the fleet and wiry little animals they bestrode, materially added to the picturesque beauty of the scene. We must not omit to mention the pretty appearance of Mdlle Isabelle, a young lady who has the exclusive privilege of supplying the Jockey Club with flowers, and who annually receives from the winner of the French Derby a costume in his colours. On this occasion she appeared in her new dress of La Toucques' gay tartan, wearing a Scotch cap and jacket and plaid scarf and skirt, with the usual accessories of highland costume, a dress in which the graceful flower girl looked exceedingly pleasing. The morning of the great event was delightfully fine, but shortly aft r noon heavy clouds caused forebodings as to bad weather, which just before the first race were proved to be but too well founded. The muster of vehicles and of foot people on the course was such as has never previously been dreamt ef in France, while the bustle and animation on the Stands and in the enclosure were almost on a par with those of our own Derby. Certainly, if wagering was not pursued on so extensive a scale as chez nous, the excitement it created was considerably more appa- rent. Anything more animated and altogether exciting than was the coup d'oeil just before the first race can scarcely be realised. It was therefore a thousand pities that a scene so brilliant and unique should have been spoiled by the sudden change for the worse in the weather. Before the course was cleared for the Prix de la Marne a drenching shower came down, and a mask of um- brellas effectually and suddenly veiled the beautiful show. Drizzling rain and discomfort prevailed until shortly before the arrival of the Emperor, when the fickle climate, quite as variable as that of perfide Albion, cleared up again, and the remainder of the day was again delightful. The Prix d'Armenonville, the Prix du Conseil General, and the Prix des Pavilions attracted about the same amount of atten- tion that is bestowed upon the events which precede the English Derby, and the English division of " ring men" for the most part complained that there was very little betting on them. As the time wore on for the Grand Prix however, much excitement pre- vailed, which was increased on the Emperor's arrival in an open carriage. In the next instant he made his ap- pearance in the royal balcony, and instantly a demonstration ensued on the part of the English bookmakers. Three unmis- takably " English cheers'' and one cheer more were called for by a well- known northern bookmaker, and such a shout was raised as never before rung across the Bois de Boulogne. The Emperor, who looked somewhat pale but pleased and animated, appeared to appreciate fully the honest burst of feeling, and re- peatedly bowed his acknowledgments. In company with the Emperor were the young King of Portugal, the Duke de Bra- bant and the Prince of Orange, and shortly afterwards the arrival of the Empress was announced. Scarcely had she been conducted by the Emperor into the central stand of honour than the English cheers were renewed with if possible still greater enthusiasm. The beautiful Empress gracefully acknowledged the demonstra- tion her presence evoked, and scarcely had the echoes of the cheers died away when the northern " leviathan" just alluded to called for further cheers for the absent Prince Imperial or, as he designated it, for the little Emperor," and the cheers having been duly given, comparative quiet ensued. The dozen competitors at length made their appearance on the course, com- prising six French horses, five English, and one Italian, the pro- perty of King Victor Emmanuel. In spite of the previous de- monstration against Lord Clifden many admired his appear- ance until he took his " preliminary," when he was universally pronounced to " go short,'' as most certainly he did, and in the race itself cut up very indifferently, and certainly a very different horse from what we saw at Epsom, when he finished so close with Macaroni that no one knew what had won until the numbers were up. • Saccharometer ran a very fair horse, and La Toucques, " the Blink Bonny of France," very ga- nely. The Ranger, however, outstayed his rivals, and ran home an easy winner, thus placing the first Grand Prix to England. Tremendous shouts, chiefly from the " English Ring,'' hailed the success of The Ranger, and Mr Steel openly proclaimed that he had won a " couple of thou- sand." Mr Morris, we may also note, lands a goad stake Captain Savile was afterwards presented to and congratulated by both the Emperor and Empress. We have thus briefly noted something of the scenes in connec- tion with the Paris races and the Grand Prix, without trenching too far on the province of our graphic and truthful " own corres- pondent,'' and have little more to add. The Grand Prix de Paris has not, we take it, passed over without some significant results, more especially as showing the true state of feeling between the two great countries, who by false teaching and prejudice were wont to look upon each other as natural foes. True, the small band of Englishmen that raised those " rough and ready" cheers on the Bois de Boulogne were composed, perhaps, of a motley throng, and the higher class of Englishmen present might esteem the loud demonstration as in somewhat bad taste. Bad taste or good taste, however, the Emperor knows England and English- men well enough to understand that a genuine English cheer is never an enforced one, but is honest and sincere, and conveys far more than does the most flattering address, couched in " what language soever it may be. And we venture to think that the Eng- lish greetings of last Sunday will remain a most pleasurable and gratifying reminiscence both to Louis Napoleon and the lovely Empress Eugenie.

Hook's boat horse, 25 years « > f age, and Mr E. Read's well- known Potato Bob, to trot two miles, for £ 10 a side, each driving his own horse, from the sixth to the fourth milestone on the Stratford- road, out of Birmingham. There was a large attendance present, and betting to a good amount took place at level money. Mr Wheeler, of the Cross Keys, Balsall- street, was the appointed re- feree. About six o'clock the word was given, when Potato Bob went away with the best of the start, kept the lead for a hundred yards, when the boat horse collared him and passed him, gra- dually leaving Bob in the rear, and going in a winner by a hun- dred and fifty yards, to the great surprise of Potato Bob's backers. The extraordinary change in Ascot from those good old days " when George the Third was King," and when Yeoman Prickers performed the duties now assigned to the A division of police, is one of the greatest signs of advancement in the sporting world we can call to mind. And conld the illustrious founder of the meeting witness how its resources have been developed, and into what gigantic proportions it has grown, with the anti- progress ideas with which he was impressed, he would be, like Franken- stein, alarmed at his own handiwork. But, dropping metaphor it must, we imagine, be universally admitted that the English Turf was never seen to more advantage than it has been during the present week, and those who sneer at it, and are fond of decrying it as a vulgar pursuit, had only to take a glance at the Grand Stand and the adjoining ones to dis- cover on what wrong foundation their opinions were based" Nothing could have been happier as an augury of future patronage from the illustrious visitors than the fineness of the days being only equalled by that of the sport; and reared in a northern court, where no taste for racing has yet been developed, the Princess of Wales must have realised to the very letter those ideas which she had been led to entertain of the glories of Ascot, as a spectacle in which the Sovereign, the aristocracy, and the people all took part with equal pleasure. To the Prince of Wales the contrast from the heights of Epsom to the plains of Ascot must have been very striking, and he may be said to have witnessed English racing in its most distinct phases. That his Royal Highness is a keen sportsman, and has a taste for the Turf, there cannot be the slightest doubt, from the earnest manner in which he discussed the chances of the horses that ran in the dead heat for the Cup. But we have too great confidence in the able education which he has received to share for a moment in the apprehensions of a few of our timid contemporaries, who have gone almost int ® hysterics at the thought of his Royal Highness having put a fiver on Gillie for the Derby. Fortunately society is very different to what it was when the last Prince of Wales ran horses, and gave grounds for censure ; but, surrounded as royalty is from necessity with forms and ceremo- nies, it is hard the privilege accorded to the lowest member of society of having a trifle on " the national race," on his first seeing it, should be refused the heir to the British Crown. Whatever sport his Royal Highness m& y be induced to pa- tronise cannot' fail to be benefited by it, as its proper con- duct will be ensured; and we have not the slightest doubt, if ever a Royal stud is formed, and his Royal Higlmess's cap and jacket found in the cards of Dorling and Oxley, that management then will be such as might be anticipated from a high- minded Prince and accomplished sportsman. We have been led into these reflections from the extreme importance that must be attached to the Royal visit to Ascct on Tuesday and Thurs- day, and which, we earnestly trust, is only the prelude at the next anniversary of that of another illustrious personage, who has never received a more cordial welcome from her subjects than when passing between their ranks up the New Mile of Ascot. The return lists of the week, however, are too long to permit us to dwell further upon this most interesting question with Turfites, and in the course of our remarks we trust to be able to explain away much that seemed obscure at the time, and which, in the excitement of the moment, could not be argued with calmness. It is singular that a meeting so fruitful in good fields and close races should have commenced with so poor a lot of performers as those engaged in the Trial Stakes, in which with the exception of Bathilde there was scarcely an animal started to whom the epithet of race horse might be fairly applied. And judging by the very indifferent figure cut by Tademus in the Hunt Cup, we should say the winner, Tippler, and the whole lot were bad. The Ascot Stakes, placed almost at the head in- stead of at the bottom of the card, was not without horses to run for it, for the added two hundred will always be an inducement for owners to try their chance. As the lot cantered none of them were very inviting, and Rubicon looked so lusty that few thought he would get a place. Canary also had had a holiday since Bath, and Bandage looked too light for so severe a course. From what OldmiMter had done before leaving Middlebam the race was regarded by his party as over, and his condition was faultless. Oakapple had also had the benefit of a thorough preparation, but the ground was a trifle too hard for him, and had it been as at Epsom he would have changed his place on the telegraph with the winner. Captain Cro respecting whose starting there were conflicting rumours, gave his friends every chance for their money as far as the art of the trainer and jockey could extend, but all was of no avail, as he wanted speed to finish with. Stanton, claimed of Mr Bryan at Newmarket, after winning a Selling Plate, was a happy selection of Mr Saxon's, for he has paid him over and over again; and as the handicapper imagined he could not stay, he got in on terms which made his late owner and friends sanguine of his success, which was cleverly achieved; although had not Rubicon run at Epsom, and incurred his 71b, he could not have lost, and Knutsford's performance was as bad as at North- ampton. To the " spectators'' in the race we need not allude, as they were visible to better judges than ourselves, and are, doubt less, recorded in black and white. The Sixth Biennial, for two year olas, kept up the prestige of Ascot for furnishing the best guide to the running of the youngsters of the year, and as Light had beaten Molly Carew at Bath, she at once commanded the market, and confirmed her Bath victory by winning very easily by a length ; and as John Scott had tried Goldylocks pretty good, and Tomato was also behind her, it makes the Prime Minister's filly the best of the season. To Mr Mather the result must be gratifying, and had his sale of Prime Minister's yearlings been delayed a week, it would have made a sensible difference to him in his balance. The Queen's Vase was one of the finest races we had during the week, and many imagined that, like the Cup, it had produced a dead heat. Such, however, was not the case, for Wingrave, whose staying capabilities had never until now been revealed, never could quite get up to Adventurer, whose career this season, although brief, has not been an inglorious one, including as it does the City and Suburban, The Flying Dutchman's and Great Northern Han- dicaps, and a small race at Doncaster. To those who stuck so confidently to King of the Vale for the Derby, the position ac- quired by Wingrave brought back many disagreeable reminis- cences, for by his trial the young one ought to have been within an ace of winning at Epsom, more especially as the ground was so exactly suited to him, and whatever chance Atherstone might have had was destroyed by his nearly coming down on his head as they got into the straight running. The sight of so large a field for the Prince of Wales Stakes must have been gratifying to his consort, and the race was full of in- terest to those who had speculated on the Derby and Oaks, and were desirous of some confirmation of the running in both. Al- though Blue Mantle had 101b extra, his liking for the course, the forward position he had attained in the Derby, as well as the rest he had enjoyed, all tended to prepossess the public so much in his favour that very small odds were taken about him. But he was not in the vein, and with a remembrance of the Epsom start, he ran ungenerously the whole way, just as at Newmarket last year, and we imagine it was the last time that he will be trusted again by them. Following so speedily on the death of Automaton, the victory of Avenger was peculiarly grateful to Lord Stamford, who intended to have run him for the Derby, but for a slight accident which occurred to him, and had he started, he showed us now that his lordship's commission about him was not issued without due cause, and as he can stay the Leger course he will be a useful horse to fall back upon in case of anv accident occurring to The Ranger. The running of Borealis was widely different to that in the Oaks, when she ran far more behind Vivid than Vivid was in her rear now. Judex ran very respect- ably, and he improves as he goes on. Of Dr Syntax's real form Mr Wraite must now be convinced, and of the others we need not say anything. Twenty- seven maidens at the post for a Plate one would have thought would have deterred speculation among backers, but Birch Broom had swept such a lot of rubbish away at Findon, that the friends of Lord Westmoreland were content to take incredibly- short odds abwut him, and that the trial was as correct as usual was proved by the easy victory which followed it. For the Queen's Stand Plate we consider Lord Glasgow to be indebted more to the cowardice of Umpire than the merits of Knowsley, who looked as well as all Lord Glasgow's team that have come south. To what circumstance the want of heart in Umpire is to be attributed we cannot say, but we are rather in- clined to think it has its origin in the severity of his Derbv prepa- ration; and Mr Ten Broeck we consider to be well out of " such an ungenerous brute. Wednesday furnished a quiet and interesting day's sport, in which the Hunt Cup, as usual, formed the centre piece. Ine race, to comment upon it is unnecessary, for never was a winner more appropriately named than Victor, who might take for his motto veni, vidi, vici, as he jumped off in front, and kept there to the end, nothing else in the race having a chance with him. For the scratching of Catch ' em Alive and Polynesia the usual expla- nation was furnished, and another lesson added to the numerous ones the public have already received relative to spoiling the market of owners of horses. Theuoronation Stakes and Ascot" Derby both being in the same direction proved Lord Stamford's stable to be in great force, and as Onesander was next to The Ranger at New- market, Mr Savile's horses' claims to consideration for the St Leger are considerably enhanced, and Lord Stamford's regret at the loss of Automaton must in the same measure be increased, for according to report he was far superior to Avenger and Onesander. The Two Year Triennial, which Becky Sharp carried off so cleverly, rather surprised Lord Portsmouth, who did not con- sider her worth investing on ; but she went so much better in her preliminary canter than the others that the judges of action for- gave her being beaten at home, and, risking all chances, saw her win cleverly, and as Fisherman's Daughter was behind, the form must be rather better than common. The Fernhill was rendered doubly interesting from the mistake that was made in it by Hip- polite's number going up for it instead of Tomato's. That much angry discussion should ensue from it cannot be a matter of won- der, for neither Mr Bevill nor any of his friends would have backed Lady Abbess in the face of Tomato, and if the fine that has been imposed upon Hayhoe is considered to be a heavy one, on the other hand the serious loss entailed on numerous parties certainly called for the infliction of some penalty that would render the repetition of such an act of carelessness impossible. That Lord Strathmore does not keep horses to lookat, wasclearly demonstrated by his pulling out Saccharometer for the Biennial after his Paris trip. And that he was none the worse for it was also proved by his winning in a walk. And how there could have been such a slight difference in the odds between him and Tom Fool, is surprising, for the latter was never within a stone of Lord Strathmore's horse, who, confined to a certain length, will hold his own against any three year old in training. The Emperor of Russia's Cup Day, we believe, is gene- ally reckoned to be the largest ever known. But that even sunk into insignificance, compared with the magnificent array of company that were assembled on Thursday, and which completely destroyed all comfort and pleasure," for one half of those that patronised the Grand Stand were unable to find sitting accommodation. There was a pleasure converted into a toil, but still there was no help for it, and many a high- born beauty was not more tired at a drawing- room than at Ascot; so loyalty brings with it its pains and penalties, as well as its pri- vileges and emoluments. For a Cup field of so small an extent the quality was unusually high, as it contained a Leger winner, the winner of the Doncaster and Goodwood Cups, and a horse that ran third for the Derby and was only beaten a head for the St Leger. But with one consent, the race was reduced to a match between Tim Whiffler and Buckstone; and as much excitement prevailed between their respective parties as existed between those of the Flying Dutchman and Voltigeur in their memorable encounter over Ktia. vesmire. Tim Whiffler, it will be recollected, had not been seen since Doncaster, and the reports in circulation respecting him were by no means favourable, it being asserted he was no bigger than last year, and would feel the effect of the weight. Buck- stone, on the other hand, had made considerable improvement from a three to a four ; and although not very rosy in his coat, he galloped well enough to elicit further confidence from his friends. That he was deserving of it was proved by the desperate game- ness with which he fought the battle, and brought it to a successful issue. That he won the first time was the general sup- position, but Sam has snatched so many races out of the fire by his jockeyship that implicit credence should be given to the fiat of the judge, who is alone capable of deciding the knotty point. In the deciding heat many of Tim's friends urged upon Lord William Powlett to wait with him instead of making running. But as all Tim's victories have been achieved by the cutting down system his lordship was unwilling to make a change. Tirn accordingly set off again on his long journey, looking none the worse for wear, but Buckstone stuck to him pertinaeeously, and quitting him at the half distance, beat him by a couple of lengths, adding another laurel to those already earned by Volti- geur, the gameness of whose sons is unequalled over severe courses. That such a termination was unexpected it is needless to add ; but Tim, although he has met with his superior in Buck- stone, has not lost one atom of his reputation, for if he did not achieve success, he, at all events, deserved it. Had The Marquis ran the excitement would have been still greater, but whether the result would have been altered we are not prepared to say. Still, as they were almost the same horse in the Leger he would have been a troublesome opponent to Mr Merry again. In the St James's Palace Stakes it was, perhaps, injudicious to run such a big horse as King of the Vale on ground as hard as a road. And if he succumbed to the, corky Gladstone now, the day may come when the tables will be turned, and the score wiped out. Mr Merry tries his two year olds so high, that when he came with such a crack as the Scottish Chief, the public were nothing loth to side with him in his venture, and the first expeditionary trip he took was successful enough to put him at the head of the poll for the Derby, and with the prospect of his remaining there as long a time as his great predecesso: s Dundee and Buckstone. The New Stakes, like all the two year old races, developed the public form, but Queen of the Vale had to do all she knew to defeat Vacuna, while the Marv Copp colt, getting third, made it manifest that Satn Rogers had not been retained at Man- chester for nothing. The running of Friday, although plentiful, is not of sufficient importance to dwell on, but it will be seen Queen Bertha is daily improving, or she never would have beaten Early Purl so easily. And barring the unfortunate mistake in the Fernhill, the Ascot meeting went off withcut a speck on its banner, and it is almost too much to expect we shall ever witness another such a glorious week. The Newton meeting takes place on Wednesday, Thurs- day, and Friday, when we trust that Mr Bake's exertions to maintain the character of his meeting will be successful. As we have no reliable information relative to what horses are under orders, we must decline expressing any opinion as to the fiats of Mr Johnson. The Hampton meeting, which is more a Saturnalia than a race gathering, fails on the same date as Newton, and will be doubt- less attended by the same class of persons who have frequented it for years. As the Calendar, with the programme, will riot be published until to- morrow, we are precluded from further deal- ing with it. PROGRAMME OF HAMPTON RACES.

SOUTHWELL EACES. This meeting, which took place on Whit- Thursday, was again visited with an immense assemblage from Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln; the ground, which was very hard, had been well • watered during the last two days. Heavy clouds early in the morning hung overhead, with occasional showers, which benefitted the ground on account of it being well covered with grass. The Grand Stand presented a far gayer appearance than usual, the nobility and gentry attending in immense force from the imme- diate neighbourhood. The business of the meeting was most ably carried out by the committee, who had used every endeavour to promote its success. Appended is a return of the sport:— THURSDAY, MAY 28.— GENTLEMEN'S PUP.

FRIDAY, MAY 29.— This annual spring gathering took place on the sands at Redcar, where every accommodation for visitors had been provided, an excellent stand having been erected. By the liberality of the railway and steamboat companies the at- tendance of company at this celebrated watering place was im- mense. The day was beautifully fine, and the sport came off as under:— The NORTH YORKSHIRE STAKES of 2 sovs each, with 10 added, for all ages; tha second saved his stake; heats, one mile; 3 subs. Mr E.

Levinge, Bart, M. P.; Col F. S. Greville, M. P.; W. Pollard Urquhart, Esq, M. P.; Sir Percy Nugent, Bart; Capt Nugent, J. F. Briscoe, P. Nugent, E. K. Rivers, and P. M. Fitzgerald, Esqs. Treasurers: W. S. Kelly and J. H. Vize, Esqs. Sees: Messrs Coffey and Nugent. Judge : R. J. Hunter, Esq. This popular meeting came off during the early part of the past week over Newbrook Course, a short mile from Mullingar and the terminus of the Midland Railway. Tue splendour of the first day of the sunny month of June, the facility of reaching the course by rail from town as well as several counties, and the close of the steeple chase season for some months, were sufficient reasons for attracting an attendance unequalled for extent, respectability, and fashion rarely seen now- a- days at the celebration of county race meetings; and on the opening day few scenes of its description could surpass it in beauty, and a coup d'osil taken from the Stand House at the lake and woodland scenery which partly surrounds the course could not fail to leave a lasting impression of the beauties of nature. Fourteen horses were weighted for the Westmeath Handicap Stakes, three miles, two of whom were put hors de combat by acci- dent, namely, Miss M'Farlane, a favourite Westmeath mare, who was killed in running for a sweepstakes at Elphin owing to want of care in keeping the run home clear of horsemen ; and Mont Blanc on returning from Tipperary Steeple Chases met with an accident when in his box at Limerick Junction by a train coming into collision with it, which necessitated his being scratched. With the exception of Sly Fox the rest accepted, and, after an in- teresting and fast- run lace, Lord De Freyne's O'Connell proved his ability to stay a distance under high weight. Although he was tackled ac the finish and sorely pressed by Orphan and Leonidas, he secured the fiat of the judge by a head through gameness solely. The race for Colonel Greville's Plate, which followed, ex- tended to three heats, and fell to Kiss me Quick, a strong six year old mare by Vulcan. The afternoon's sport closed with the Mullingar Selling Stakes, for which there were post entries, which caused great delay and are in no way beneficial to a race meeting, but are injurious, as people before coming a distance would prefer knowing what sport they were likely to have, which in the event of post entries cannot be known to the last moment. The second day was fine, and, with the exception of a passing shower, was all that could be desired. However, the crowd, both in the enclosure and on the course, dwindled down to a moiety of the preceding day, which enabled the racing to be seen better from the Stand ; and the Mullingar Handicap, for which eight ran, was a pretty race, Leonidas turning up the winner, and re- covering his lost laurels of the preceding day. A small field ran for the Railway Stakes, for which the veteran Tom Bayers threw in, and wound up a meeting that, under the present efficient com- mittee, is certain to prosper. The occupier of the course intends to commence building a permanent stand house immediately, and is anxious to have a single day's meeting in the middle of Octo- ber next, in which he is likely to succeed, as the committee are certain to assist in carrying out any reasonable proposition for the furtherance of sport in the county. MONDAY, JUNE 1.—- The WESTMEATH HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 100 added ; three miles. Lord De Freyne's O'Connell, by Anglesey, aged, list lllb. Ryan 1 Col Irwin's Leonidas, 5 yrs, 9st J.

Brady fell Betting: 3 to 1 each agst Leonidas and O'Connell, and 4 to 1 each agst National Petition and Forget me Not. After a slight delay the lot left the post on equal terms, led at a strong bat by Rod in Pickle to the first fence, where he rolled over. Martha then obtained the lead, followed by Orphan, Leonidas, and the remainder of the field to the farm- house at the far side, and round the course to the Stand the second time, where she gave way to National Petition, who took the two next fences in fine style, after which the Orphan improved the pace and held a good lead, with Leonidas, O'Connell, and National Petition next, and continued without change until about half a mile from home, where O'Connell was called on, carried on the race with Leonidas and Orphan at his heels, and after a grand set- to between the trio O'Connell won by a head ; a neck between second and third. Martha passed the chair fourth, National Petition fifth ; Forget me Not, Fairy King, and Tipperary Lass were pulled up near home, and walked in.

This long- established meeting drew together a large company from Cork, Limerick, and other counties this season. First in the list stood the County Plate, which Nancy Till, a stout little mare, carried off' cleverly from five others, having this year been re- peatedly successful. Some disappointment was felt when it was known that there would be no race for the Tipperary Stakes, owing to two of the five acceptors being scratched. A race for 40 sovs was proposed, but it was not sufficiently tempting, and the oniy event then left undecided was run off, and the day ' s sport closed. On the second day a Handicap Race and a Hunt Race, three miles each, were the events of interest, and gave satisfaction to all beholders. The winners of both events were steered by Capt M'Craith, with his usual patience and tact, to which may be attributed his success. Two more delightful days for the enjoy- ment of field sports could not be had, of which the country people took advantage, and spread themselves over the course, and lined the fences in all directions to see the racing. Time was not well kept, and it would be decidedly advantageous to attend to this at the next meeting. WEDNESDAY, MAY 27.— The COUNTY SUBSCRIBERS' PLATE of 2 sovs each, with 20 added; certain penalties and allowances ; the winner to be sold for 80 sovs; heats, two miles.

MONDAY, JUKE 1.— Vincennes was largely patronised last Monday by a great many Turfites, who had been attracted from all parts of Franca by the preceding day's sport at Longchamps, and we also noticed several well- known English sportsmen, besides whom, the bookmaking division had not all left France for Ascot, so that the betting on the three events was rather more spirited than usual, and the layers had a very good turn in the first race, for Wee Nell, Maritana, and Duhallow were supported for large amounts; whilst Harry was not even thought of by his own party. As on the preceding day at Longchamp, when the best jockeys from England took part in the races, some of our best steeple chase riders assisted at Vincennes, including George Stevens, Ben Land, and Knott, but, as will be seen below, they were all very unfor- tunate, as was also Capt Townley, who came from England on purpose for the mount on Avalanche, and Capt Smith got a very poor mount in the last race, on the cunning little Duhallow, though in the first race he rode the fine- looking Sampson remark- ably well. The PEIX DE LA MARNE, a Handicap of 500f, for four year olds and upwards of all countries; entrance 300f, 200 ft, and 100 only if declared; the second to double his entry; the winner of 3,600f after the publication of the weights to carry 41b extra, of 4,000f 101b, and of 6,000f 141b; three miles two furlongs; 28 subs, of whom 13 declared forfeit. Count de Cossette's ch g Harry, aged, 1341b J. Cassidy I Mr J. Moise's b g Sampson, aged, 1441b Capt. Smith 2 Baron de la Motto's b in Maritana, aged, 1521b.. H.

Boutton's b m Surprise, aged, U41b Lelur 0 Mr Martin Coster's b m Etincelle, t yrs, 1281b Enoch 0 Mr B. Laud's b g Oliver Twist, aged, 1561b Ben Land 0 M Desvigne's gr g Auricula, 6 yrs, 1581b Quinton 0 Betting: 6 to 4 agst Wee Nell, 7 to 2 agst Maritana, 4 to 1 agst Duhallow, 4 to 1 agst Oliver Twist, 6 to 1 agst Auricula, and 7 to 1 each agst Harry and Sampson. The lot started below the big bank, and were got off' at the first attempt, Auricula, Sampson, and Surprise getting away in front, followed by Duhallow, Mari- tana, Tippler, Wee Nell, Oliver Twist, and Etincelie in the order named, whilst Harry whipped in. Surprise was first out of the race by falling over the second fence, a bank and ditch, but all the others went on all right, headed by the grey to the first water jump at the bottom of the course, at which Duhallow obstinately refused, and, on feeling the prickers, commenced kicking. There was no other mishap, however, and no material change in po- sitions until passing the fort, when Wee Nell crept up to the front rank and lay second to the grey, with Sampson lying third, over the brook, opposite the Stands, which was cleared ; by all in good style excepting Etincelle, who gave Enoch a cold bath in it. At the next fence, the big bank, Wee Nell came down a burster; and although quickly righted again, she lost a deal of ground, but was catching her horses again very fast in the next half mile, until coming to a bank and ditch, at which the little mare came to like one half stunned, and, partially refusing it, came into the ditch on her haunches. The six that were now left in the race were still led by the grey, who was, however, closely pressed by Sampson, with Lamplugh's two lying next, followed by Oliver Twist and Harry, still in the rear, to the ploughed land, which, as usual, took all the pull out of Auricula, and in a few strides over it Sampson was left in command, until they had come nearly to the drop fence into the road, when Harry, who was quite out- paced all through the first part of the race, suddenly rushed past his horses and was almost immediately in possession of a lead of four or five lengths ; Tippler coming to grief in the plough by tumbling upon his head, and at the drop fence Oliver Twist, who was up to this point running very well, came down a crasher upon Ben Land, and broke down very badly in his near hind leg. The race was there- fore now confined to Harry, Sampson, and Maritana, for the grey, although he did run on with them, was evidently quite pumped out, and rising the liill at the fort Maritana looked beat, but Lamplugh calling on her again at the last fence she answered very gamely to it, and for a moment looked like winning, as Harry lost nearly a couple of lengths here by making a slight mistake on landing, though he was soon in his stride again, and the other two never being aiile to reach him he won very easily by a length; a good race for second place resulting in favour of Sampson by a head only over Maritana, and the grey was a very bad fourth, Tippler, a long way off, fifth, and the lame Oliver Twist, who re- turned by a short cut, passed the post side by side with him. PRIX DU POLYGONE of 3,500f, for half bred horses bred in France; entrance 50f; weight for age; three miles; 11 subs. M Forcinal's b g Y. Mastrillo, by Mastrillo, 4yrs, 1501b.

Gougson's br m Clementine, 6 yrs, 1601b Quinton 0 M Marion's br g Blainville, 4 yrs, 1401b Greenwood 0 Betting: Even on M Forcinal's stable. Jason took up the run- ning at start, followed by the grey mare, Blainville, and Mastrillo in the order named, with Clementine and Tam Tam lying next, and Count Talon's two brought up the rear, in which order they all jumped the brook in front of the Stands, and ran to the post and rails at the bottom of the course, over which Tam Tam and Clementine cannoned, and both fell heavily, Villons also falling at the next fence ( the water jump), and Djar coming to a stand- still in the ploughed land, left the race to M Forcinal's three, and Blainville, who never had a chance with the others, so the finish was confined to the representatives of one stable, and all being well ridden home, it resulted in favour of Mastrillo by a length, with a dead heat for second place between the other two, and Blainville was a very bad fourth. The PRIX DU DON- JON of 10,000f, for horses of all countries > entrance 500f, 200 ft; the second to receive 2,000f out of the stakes ; 1441b each, with penalties and allowances, & c; gentle- men riders; four miles ; 16 subs. Viscount de Namur's The Colonel, by Cato, aged. 1701b Mr Jonas 1 Count Talon's ch h Campeador, 6 yrs, 1421b Owner 2 Count des Cossette's b ra Avalanche, 6 yrs, 1701b. Capt Townley 0 Count des Cossette's br g Duhallow, 1701b Capt Smith 0 M de Ligniere's b g Pacha, aged, 1501b Owner 0 Betting : Even on Avalanche, 5 to 4 agst The Colonel, and 3 to 1 on the two ( coupled). The Colonel led, followed by Duhallow and Avalanche, with Campeador lying fourth, and Pacha in the rear, in which order they cleared the brook and ran to the big bank, at which Duhailow first refused, and his example was then followed both by Avalanche and Pacha. The two former getting over after some difficulty, but the latter would not have it any price, so was ridden back to the enclosure. The race was, there- fore, now confined to the Colonel and Campeador, for Count des Cossette's two were a long way in the rear, and Duhallow was soon quite out of it by refusing again. The pace was very bad for the first round, but on coming to the brook for the second time, Lamplugh called out to Mr Jonaa to drive the old one along, which tactic was soon obeyed, and leading the remainder of the way at a good pace, he came in a gallant winner by three or four lengths. Avalanche completed the first round, but then obstinately refused the bank again, and was, therefore, ridden back to the enclosure.

SOUTHAMPTON.— The Phryne and the Phosphorus returned to the Itchen on Sunday, May 31, from the Thames, to be refitted previous to their departure for the Irish Channel. The Octoroon, 10. and Quiver, 12, left on Monday afternoon, June 1, for the Thames, to take part in the approaching matches. TheAlgerine, 10 ( new) has during the past week been cruising about the South- ampton water to ascertain her trim and capabilities. The old Arrow was launched from her winter quarters on Wednesday, June 3, and is fitting out in the stream. The schooner Destiny is fitted out, and was ready for sea, but on Tuesday, June 2, when at her moorings, was rus into by a ketch, and received damage to her bulwarks. E0YAL THAMES YACHT CLUB.

The match is to be sailed on Thursday, June 11, from Erith, round the Nore, and return. The prizes are chaste and elegant, and consist of first prize ( second class), value £ 50, a silver loving cup and cover, by Hancock; the second prize ( second class) being a 20 guinea silver cup on stand, by Smith and Nicholson. The prizes for the fourth class represent a silver punch bowl on base ( Hancock), value 30 guineas, with a 10 guinea silver cup, by Garrard, to the second boat ( if four start). For the Extra Match the following two boats only had the courage to enter, viz :— Gen Cumberlege's Psyche, 23 tons ; Mr . Haines's Mars, 39 tons— in- sufficient to ensure the match. The club steamer chartered to accompany the race is the Prince of Wales ( Capt Williams), with the band of the 2d Life Guards. The steamer will leave the Ade- laide Wrharf, London Bridge, punctually at 10 am., direct for Erith. Tickets of admission may be obtained by members of the following stewards, viz, Messrs R. Cooke, W. L. Hooper, and G. Powell, up to noon on Wednesday, the 10th instant, at the Club House, Albemarle- street. The second class includes the famous Phantom, Emmet, and Vampire, boats that have been repeatedly described by us; Phantom having been originally constructed by Pinney of Poole, Emmet by Wanhill of the same port, and Vampire by Hatcher of Southampton. The Water Lily formerly belonged to" the late Mr Alfred Young, of the Amazon, and was built by Wanhill. Of the fourth class. Wasp, built at Plymouth, and recently altered by Payne of Southampton, is reported to be considerably improved since the race of ' 62; likewise the Bessie, constructed by Harvey of Wivenhoe. The Folly was originally designed by the late Mr P. E. Marett, and has undergone improved alterations under the supervision of her present owner. The Octoroon was the new 12- ton clipper, by Hatcher, of the past season, and has this season been coppered and otherwise improved. The Quiver was newly constructed last year by Mr Chamberlayne, of the Arrow, and has just received a new suit of muslin. The JErolite is a new boat, built at Wandsworth, and has already sailed her maiden match; her allowance of time should be in her favour. The Violet, by Aldous of Brightlingsea, has so often been described that we can only add that his lordship may find a breeze the morning of the match, when, doubtless, the red St Andrew's cross will be in the van. The Bessie and Folly seem to be the favourites, and we expect to see a close contest between these two little clippers. A ballot for the election of new members took place at the Club House, Albemarle- street, on Wednesday, June 3, and resulted in the following . yachtsmen, amongst six candidates, being duly elected, viz:— Capt De V. Tupper ( 8th King's Regt), Medora, cutter, 23 tons; Capt W. Rooke ( Royal Artillery), Dove, sloop, 8 tons; and Mr C. Jacquot, Britannia, cutter, 8 tons. The fol- lowing yacht owners have their names on the list of candidates for the July ballot, viz:— MrE." H. Hudson, of the Caroline, schooner, 81 tons; Capt G. T. W. Ferrand, of the Clio, cutter, 40 tons ; and Mr G. Harrison, C. E., of the Alexandra, cutter, 15 tons, and the Vision, cutter, 10 tons. RED ROVER The course is from Erith to the Chapman Head and back, and return to Erith. The time allowance is a minute per ton. The en- tries are worthy the magnificence of the prize, and there never was seen so large a field, if we may be allowed the phrase, or one in which so many fine boats have entered. The club, having considered that their usual steamer would be too small to accom- modate their visitors, have engaged the Queen of the Thames, which will leave Blackwall at ten o'clock. The next race of the season is fixed for July 27; entries to close on the 23d. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB. On Monday, June 1, the annual dinner of this club was held at the marine station, Royal Hotel, Rock Ferry; Commodore Graves presided. The company present numbered about 80. There were present his Worship the Mayor of Liverpool, Capt Inglefield, R. N.; and the officers of H. M. S. Majestic ( Capt Whyte), H. M. 8. Eagle, & c, & c. The toasts, exclusive of the usual loyal ones, were " The Bishop and Clergy,'' which was responded to by the Rev Thomas F. Redhead; " the Navy, Ariny, and Volunteers," by Capt Inglefield, Major Greig, and Lieut.- Col King; " The Mayor of Liverpool," by his worship. The mayor requested the privi- lege of proposing the commodore's health, and alluded to his large public spirit and nautical knowledge, and was feelingly responded to by Mr Graves. " The Chairman of the Birkenhead Commis- sioners," by Mr Hind; the last toast— that of " The Ladies"— was responded to by Mr Counsellor Tyrer, who, after doing due honour to it, announced his intention to present 20 guineas towards the Ladies' Prize, to be contended for at the approaching sailing matches, which are to come off on Friday and Saturday, June 26 and 27. The band of the Majestic was kindly lent by Capt Inglefield. The table was adorned by the magnificent pieces of plate selected by the committee for the prizes, which are to be contested for by any of the royal yachts of the Great Britain and Ireland Clubs, and which from their beauty and value cannot fail to attract vessels from all parts of the country. KNUR AND SPELL— W. Cuttsof Ecclesfield, in reply to the challenge of G. Sheldon of Sheffield, will take eight score in 20 rises, or 12 in 30, and play him for his own sum ( he cannot play him on any other terms, as there is 3st difference in their weights) ; or Cutts will play Turner or Millman of Blarker Hill, Tiger of Castleford, or Cruket of Methley, or he will give any man in the Barnsley district half a stone weight, or play H. Yeadon of Teadon according to his challenge, viz, to give and take scores for pounds, or Chapman of Attercliffe level, to play at Ecclesfield or Barnsley; or if this be not approved of he will play them in their own district, or at the Cardigan Arms, Leeds. Any of the fore- going matches can be made, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side, at Mr G. Win- ter's, White Lion, Albert- street, Barnsley. Or M. Thompson of Barnsley will play J. Hollings of Bradford, for £ 25 a side; to play on Wakefield Heath if Hollings will give him choice of spell place. A match can be made at Mr Winter's as above. Mr J. Kellett of Low Moor has received articles and £ 5 a side for a match, for £ 25 a side, between J. Robinson of Thornton and H. Smith of Ovenden; to be nlayed at the Peat Holes Moor, pn Saturday, J une 13. ROYAL OPENING CKUISE, was more attractive than ever, line according to tonnage:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. CIRCE ... .135.. D.

Hogue, the larger yachts formed line abreast, and stood down channel, with a gentle breeze from the north- east, which freshened as the Vice- Commodore led into Rothesay Bay, where he hove to, the several yachts passing under his lee under full sail. The sight at this time was most beautiful, the foam flashing from their bows in the afternoon sun, while they lay down to their covering boards. The Circe and Mosquito re- mained for an hour to receive some accession to their respective parties, while the rest of the fleet passed through the Kyles, the Reverie gallantly leading, and finally the whole anchored for the night in Blackfarland Bay, Kyles. On Friday morning, at nine o'clock, the Vice- Commodore fired a gun to weigh, when the whole fleet set sail up Loch- fyne, Surf leading, with baffling flaws of wind up to Skate Island. Here the wind suddenly chopped round to N, and the beat up to Ardrishaig was the finest thing ever seen on the Clyde. The Mosquito was the first to get the wind, and as it freshened she showed her old superiority in strong winds and smooth water. Ail the efforts of Fyfe's new clipper, the 8urf, to wrest the lead from her were unsuccessful till within two or three miles of Ardnishaig, when a slant of wind enabled her to weather on the old racer, when Walker at once put down his helm and rested on his laurels. Mosquito and iEolus did the same to allow the rest of the fleet to come up, when a most exciting race took place up to the anchorage, the yachts having as much wind as they could stand with all plain sail set. The iEolus having been hove- to to • windward, took the lead and kept it, the others arriving in the following order :— Mosquito, Surf, Circe, Reverie, Onda, Diamond, Snake, & c. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The next general meeting of this club will beheld at the Pier Hotel, Chelsea, on Wednesday evening, June 10, at eight o'clock. At the last general meeting it was decided that the anniversary dinner should take place at the clubhouse, the Pier Hotel, Chel- sea, on Tuesday, June 30 at six o'clock, and tickets may be ob- tained from the following gentlemen, who have been elected stewards:— Messrs Brittan, Boggett, Boyd, Child, Guillaume, Harrison, Keen, Larner, Light, Oriel, Powell, Royston, Tyler, Wharton, and Yapp. The second match of the season will be sailed on Friday, J uly 10. The following gentlemen will be bal- loted for on VVednesday evening :— Mr J- L. Rosier, 8, Cheyne- walk, Chelsea ; and Mr. E. Mappin, Wharncliffe House, King's- road, Clapham Park. TEMPLE YACHT CLUB. The monthly meeting of this club was held on Wednesday, June 3, at the club house, Essex- street, the Commodore in the chair, faced by the Vice- Commodore. The minutes of last meet- ing having been read and confirmed, Messrs Ayckbourne ( yacht Idas), ChUlingworth ( yacht Wild Duck), Richardson, and Hum- phrey were elected members, Mr Jackson being proposed for election next monthly night. The drawing for stations, and last night of entry, for the second match of the season on Monday, July 6, will take place on Monday, June 29. YACHTING IN FRANCE. Bordeaux regatta took place ou May 31, in the embouchure of the Gironde. In a match between first class pleasure yachts the following competed:— The Solide, a sloop of 20 tons, belonging to MM Rochet and Largeteau, of Bourg; the Mentor, a sloop of 25 tons, belonging to MM Raymond Fr6res , the Eclipse, a sloop of 27 tons, belonging to M Duthil; the Vampire, a cutter of 35 tons, belonging to MM Bineau and Fincke; and the Etincelle, a schooner of 22 tons, belonging to M Roulle. The start took place from the lie Verte at 7 a. m., with a light breeze from the N. N. E, The Mentor, from the excellent manner in which she got under sail, was the first to draw ahead, and did not afterwards relin- quish the foremost place. The Eclipse followed tolerably close upon her, and then came the Vampire, the Solide, and the Etin- celle ; this last, however, got off in an unsatisfactory fashion, and soon afterwards retired from the match. A steamboat bearing the committee and a number of spectator- friends put to sea and brought up at the anchorage of the Marechale, about 18 miles from the starting- point, and the yachts having reached her, bore up again for the lie Verte. The first three yachts came up with the steamer in the following times from the moment of their leaving the lie Verte:— Mentor 2: 8: 31, Eclipse 2: 9: 47, Vampire 2: 20: 38. The Solide, not having traversed the course in accordance with the regulations, was held to be disqualified. The yachts then cast anchor for a short time, during which the breeze veered to the S. E., so that they had to make board after board in the run back to the lie Verte. On the starting signal being made, the Mentor, which was again very promptly handled, took the lead, followed by the Eclipse, which was impeded at first in her course by the Vampire. The three yachts reached the lie Verte in the an- nexed times :— Mentor 2: 33: 35, Eclipse 2: 37: 0, Vampire 2: 46: 9. The Mentor having thus traversed the whole 36 miles in 4h41min6sec gained the first prizeioffered (£ 10) ; while the Eclipse, which had occupied 4h 46min47sec in accomplishing the course, received the second prize ( a work of art). The whole interest of the match was centred upon the Eclipse and Mentor, which were never very far apart. The Vampire, which has only been launched about three weeks, had not quite completed her arrangements in respect to sails and fittings, and no time had been afforded her owners to make trial trips to ascertain her sea- going qualities. It is be- lieved, however, that she will yet take a honourable po- sition in the French yachting world, and it is possible that she may have her revenge at Arcachon regatta, July 12, and Royan regatta, Aug 15 and 16. A prize of £ 8 offered by the journal La Vie a la Compagne was competed for on Sunday by river yachts in the basin at Argentuil, and was won by the Temps, belonging to M Carpentier. The contest was an animated one, but from a pressure of other matter we can merely append the re- sult. St Tropez regatta has passed off successfully under the patronage of Admiral Boult Willaumez, maritime prefect of Toulon, and several yachtsmen from Cannes and the Marseilles coast line. Genoa even evinced its interest in the proceedings by sending the committee an embroidered flag, which was used in connection with the rowing matches. In a contest between yachts from 25ft to 40ft in length there were four entries ; the first prize, a gold medal given by the Minister of Marine and £ 20 in money, went to the Zepliir of Marseilles, M Craviot; and the second to the Figaro of Marseilles ; the Requin, which arrived second, was held not to have properly rounded one of the buoys ; the Roi des lies of Cannes, M Bechard, was fourth. The second match was between yachts from 20ft to 25ft in length, and provoked seven entries ; the first prize, a silver cup, offered by the Prefect of the Var, was awarded ta the Lys of Cannes, M de Roziferes ; and the second, a silver gilt medal, totheTemps of Marseilles, M Oulomie; the Julia of Cannes, M Bechard, was third. A third match fol- lowed for still smaller yachts below 20ft in length, and eight boats engaged in the contest; the first prize, a silver medal, given by the Minister of Marine, and £ 8, went to the Arnelie, of Mar- seilles, M Marengo ; and the second, a silver medal, to the Poste aux Choeux of Toulon, Admiral Bouet- Willaumez ; the Touriste of Cannes, M Gerard, arrived second, but did not properly round one of the buoys. DURHAM REGATTA. The list of prizes for this regatta has just been issued. They are rather more numerous than on former years, but the amount given is much about the same. The local papers of Newcastle and Durham each speak in rather boastful terms of the superiority of their respective crews, and the lovers of aquatics look forward with much interest to the day of trial. Although there is gene- rally a good muster of crews from the banks of Tyne and Wear, we think if the regatta could be by any means postponed for a few weeks later in the year, as suggested by a gentleman writing from Oxford, in the Durham Advertiser, the sport would be much be- nefitted by having two or three crews from Oxford and Cambridge. At present the time fixed is most unsuitable, being the same week as the Oxford commemoration. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB.

I YACHT. TONS. OWNER. MARS 37.. G. Haines GLIMPSE 36 J. Clarke QUEEN 38.. J. W. C. Whitbread | AVALON 38 W. Goodson AMAZON .. 46.. H. F. Smith VOLANTE.... 60 W. Maudesley EMMET.. .. 32.. W. W. F. Hay | The extra match is sailed under the following conditions:— All the boats under 35 tons to allow between themselves half a minute per ton, and the same amongst themselves above 35 tons, but the yachts above 35 to allow those below it a quarter of a minute per ton in every ton above 35, thus making them in classes of 35 and over. The Queen is considered the favourite in this race. She is considered more of a racing yacht than her competitors, saving, perhaps, the Emmet, whose gallant races with the Thought and Phantom and Success show her speed. The Volante is the same yacht which at 48 was formerly the property of Mr Cragie, and was the great rival of the Mosquito; her increase is attributable to an immense raking sternpost. The others are not thought to stand a great chance of success, but they are all very fine wholesome craft, and the fleet are to sail in their usual sea- going trim. The very object of the race is to encourage competition amongst vessels in that condition. The number of hands, as we have before stated, is limited, and yachts of any recognised club were eligible to enter, except those built since the 1st of January, 18' 62. The third- class yachts are to sail from Erith to the Chapman Head and back, and those in the extra match from Erith to the Nore and back. The Queen of the Thames steamer has been chartered by the club to accompany the matches, and will leave Brunswick Pier, Blackwall, at ten o'clock, proceeding to Erith. PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB. The prize, value £ 70, to be given for competition amongst •^ ftchts not exceeding 15 tons, in honour of the marriage of the Prince of Wales and the Princess Alexandra, designed and manu- factured by Mr Benson of Ludgate- hill, was exhibited for in- spection at the special club meeting, at the Freemasons' Tavern, on Tuesday night, and elicited deserved commendation as a work of art. The base, which'is supported by three dolphins, is highly ornamented with chased scrolls and wreaths of laurel, which en- close three medallions. On one of these are the arms of H. R. H. the Prince of Wales and H. R. H. the Princess, leaning on each other; on the second is a representation of the P. W. Y. C. crest, while the third is chased with objects connected with yachting and aquatic sports. Above this runs a pile of rocks, from which spring a group of bulrushes, bearing a vase elaborately chased DUBLIN BAY SUBSCRIPTION CUP. The first heat of the race for the Dublin Bay Subscription Cup was sailed on May 27, having been postponed from the previous week in consequence of the severe easterly gale and the heavy sea which was running. This cup originated in the desire of several yacht owners belonging to the port of Kingstown to get up some matches during the dull season, before regular regattas be- gin, in which they might ascertain the trim of their vessels and test the mettle of their crews, before encountering the formidable fleet of clippers which are certain to make their numbers at the Royal Irish Regatta on the 15th and 16th July. The subscription was fixed at 2s per ton, by which arrangement the larger yachts, who had the best chance, were obliged to bet odds to their smaller brethren, and eight owners at once put down their names. The conditions of the race were settled to be that the prize ( a hand- some claret jug) should be sailed for on the 20th and 27th of May and 3d and 10th of June, the winner each day to hold it until beaten, and if a tie occurred the deciding heat to take place on the 9th of September. Course, round Kish and Bar buoj s ( 16 miles). To start each day at two o'clock exactly. The new sailing regu- lations of the Irish Model Yacht Club, prohibiting shot bags or any other kind of shifting ballast, but allowing free discretion to the owners as to sails, number of hands, & c, to be strictly enforced. The day was lovely, with a nice light breeze from the westward, warm and balmy, a great contrast to the keen blast which has blown for the last fortnight or more, and the sea beautifully smooth; altogether as fine a chance as could be desired for trying the merits of the yachts. Five only came to their stations, viz:— Echo, 36; Banba, 24; Storm, 36; L'Eclair, 32; Carina, 11. The Belle schooner, a new vessel by Inman, not having arrived from England, and the Pet and Sappho not being ready, L'Eclair was the favourite, and next to her the Banba, with her allowance of time and the smooth water in her favour. At 2: 4 the gun to prepare was fired from the Royal Irish Yacht Club House, by the kind permission of the com- mittee, the vice- commodore having also lent his fine vessel, the Gitana, as flagship; and at 2: 9 the secend gun— the signal to set headsails and start. L'Eclair was first away under balloon- jib and topsail, closely followed by Banba, Echo, Storm, and Carina, in the order of their names, the breeze being light from westward. On arriving at the mouth of the harbour they were almost be- calmed between two winds, but in a few moments the true breeze came from the southward, so it was " in baMooners'' with them all, and a close hanil under working canvas to the Kish Light. L'Eclair was smartest and held her lead, Echo was bothered with her topsail, but all went away at a cracking pace, the breeze freshening every moment, and the water like glass. About half way to Kish Lightship, which lies six miles and a half E. S. E. of the pier- head, L'Eclair carried away her weather topmast shroud, which delayed her somewhat, having to be sailed fine until it was replaced, the flood- tide, however, taking her well up. They rounded the ship, L'Eclair first, Banba second ( well done little one), Storm third, Echo fourth, and the poor little Carina last. She was only en- tered by her spirited owner to help to promote sport, and, of course, had no chance whatever, even if quadruple the time were allowed, with the large vessels. It was now a run back of six with wreaths of laurel. Upon the rocks are emblems of yachting — the anchor, coil of ropes, rudder, & c, & c, the burgee and ensign j miles and a half, N. W., round North Burford Buoy to East Bar of the P. W. Y. C. The above is mounted © n a polished ebony stand j Buoy, and the balloon- jibs and topsails were out like magic, bearing a ghieM s'ith aa appropriate iEeeriptipn, and the Prince ; About mid?,' sty power was served, and Storm, with a very hand- some topsail, the yard up and down her topmast, and a jack- yard on gaff, walked into the second place, and soon after the Echo also passed the Banba. From East Bar to South Bar there was a reach of one mile WjN., and then the balloon sails disappeared, and they beat up under working canvas for the harbour, two miles S. by W. The breeze having increased, the Banba lowered her top- mast and held a fine wind, but L'Eclair, albeit she burst the out- haul of her boom- traveller, which delayed her a short time, kept the pride of, place, and the vessels arrived between the Gitana and Royal Irish Club House as follows:— H. M. s. I H. M. S. I H. M, S. L'ECLAIR 4 39 45 ECHO 4 42 47 BANBA 4 46 5 STORM 4 41 50 | The last, being entitled to 30 seconds time up to 35 tons, and 25 seconds for the ton over, beat both Storm and Echo for the second place, and was only beaten 2min 20sec by L'Eclair, the closeness of the race showing how much sport may be obtained at almost every port by a little friendly rivalry, and without much expense, as we believe no vessel had extra paid hands, although each had several able and willing Corinthians, chiefly belonging to the Irish Model Yacht Club, which has set an example to many other clubs of much larger pretensions by sailing all their matches with the crews formed from their own members, or from Royal Yacht Clubs. THE ST GEORGE'S CHANNEL REGATTAS. The aquatic Derby has been sailed, and a finer fleet of racing clippers was never before seen upon the Thames. The day, per- haps, was not all that could have been wished to test their respec- tive merits, but still the results have been much as were antici- pated. That a strong breeze and a heavy sea might reverse these results is not at all improbable, for, uncertain as Turf prognosticsl,, are, those of the sea are far more so. A doubt hangs in the mine's^, , of many yachtsmen who pinned their faith upon another vessel than that which won the consecutive events in the Thames last week, and causes them to look forward with increased interest to the approaching regattas in the St George's Channel. Without arrogating any superior discrimination to those who witnessed the matches on the 27th and 28th ultimo, we may safely predict that the Vindex will prove one of the most formidable antagonists that ever entered the Irish seas. Any one who witnessed her maiden performances must admit this, for whether a match be sailed in half a gale, or a partial calm, there must be the essentials in the ship and crew that obtain the judge's fiat against such vessels as she defeated. Her appearance on Wednesday and Thursday, May 27 and 28, betokened an amount of careful preparation that left little if any essential to success uncared for ; in hull, gear, and canvas she was all over a racer, and the manner in which she was handled indicated a master and crew, that even with an inferior vessel would take a deal of seamanship to beat; that the Vindex will meet formidable competitors there cannot be a doubt, and amongst them none more so than the vessels she beat in the Thames. The Phryn6 is a noble ship, and to many eyes appeared the handsomest of the fleet that started in the Thames. We do not know what her previous preparation had been, but. doubtless, her sailing master and crew will understand her better, and that she will be hard to beat again admits not of question. She is possessed of every point considered necessary to obtain great speed and power; running, reaching, and by the wind she gave indications of all these; it will, therefore, not at all surprise us if in a strong steady breeze and average sea she proves the adage that " power must be served!" Of the Phosphorus little need be said ; her last year's performances speak for themselves ; with steady, persevering handling she may yet prove all a match for both Vindex and Phrynfi in open sea work, and more especially in a strong breeze. The Vindex beat the Phryne with 2min 20sec to spare on Wednesday, and with 3min 30sec to spare on Thurs- day. The Phosphorus lost the second prize to the Phryne on Wednesday by only lmin 20sec, and on Thursday by lmin - 50se3. We look to the next meeting of these three vessels, under favour- able circumstances of wind and sea, as a treat in sailing that will be worth travelling many a mile of salt water to witness. It was a great triumph for Hatcher to produce three such models, and. with a slashing breeze, the ques- tion of superiority will depend much upon the seamanship and skill of the rival crews. We cannot ignore the claims of the Audax, Chrystabel, and Queen if they go to the Irish Channel matches ; they displayed considerable powers in the run down the river on Thursday, and our old favourite the Audax looked uncommonly wicked when turning to windward for a short time after rounding the steamer at the Chapman Head. We were sorry not to see the Marina amongst the competitors in the Thames, as she was under weigh and looked remarkably well; the Whirlwind, too, now the property of that excellent yachts- man Mr Alfred Cox, was pronounced by many competent judges as one of the most wicked- looking craft afloat. There was another vessel also, the Siren of 48 tons, built this season for Mr Thomas Groves, jun, by Harvey of Wivenhoe; if any judgment can be formed from appearances she has plenty of sailing in her, and in a fresh breeze will prove a vessel very hard to master. If these latter vessels go round the Land's End they will very much influ- ence the results of the racing. The settlement of that vexata. qwestio— shifting ballast— appears to have given general satisfac- tion, and will be productive of larger entries at the regattas we now speak of. The first regatta will be that of the Royal Western Yacht Club of Ireland, which will open the St George's Channel season at Queenstown on Thursday and Friday, the 18th and 19th of June. On the first day the first prize will be Her Majesty's Cup, open to all yachts belonging to members of royal yacht clubs, of 10 tons and upwards, time allowance per ton half rate of Ackers's scale, and below it half a minute per ton; entrance fee, 6d per ton. The second prize will be a handsome silver chal- lenge cup, of 50 guineas value, presented by Mr W. Inman, of Liverpool, to which the committee will add a purse of sove- reigns, open to the same classes, and under the same conditions as the Queen's Cup. On the second day will be sailed for a handsome silver cup, value £ 50, presented by the Right Hon Sir Robert Peel, Bart, Chief Secretary for Ireland, to which the committee will aad a purse of £ 25, to be sailed for under the same conditions and allowance of time as the previous prizes; entrance fee. 6d in the pound. The course will be the usual one sailed in Cork Bay, starting from moorings laid down oppo- site the club house, round the Spit Lighthouse, down through the Man of War Roads, round three flag boats placed seawards, and home again; direct distance, 26 nautic miles. Wanhill's new cutter, the Heroine, 48 tons, has been purchased by Mr J. C. Atkins, late owner of the Lurline ( now the Queen). This ves- sel, together with the Sibyl and Avalanche, will be the principal opponents to the English fleet on the station. Fyfe's new cutter, the Surf, 55 tons, built for Mr C. T. Couper, jun, of Glasgow, will sail her maiden race at this regatta; report speaks favourably of her trials; she will be sailed by T. Walker, formerly of the yEolus and Mosquito, and in such hands we have no doubt she will prove an able champion of the Scottish waters. At an interval of seven days from the Royal Western meeting will be held that of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, on Friday and Saturday, the 26th and 27th of June. The distance from Queens- town to Liverpool is 240 nautic miles. The celebrity which the regattas of this club have attained during recent seasons has ren- dered the Mersey one of the most popular meetings of the season. This year a most tempting programme of prizes, embracing several magnificent silver vases of the value of 100 guineas each, and also that much prized memento of aquatic prowess, the._ LaR- cashire Ladies' Prize, will be thrown open to the various cfasses ef yachts, and the courtesy, hospitality, and desire to promote thorough yachting sport evinced by the officers and members of the club will command one of the largest attendances that has yet been seen in the waters of the Mersey. We have beard from all quarters of the intention of yachtsmen to be present and contend at this regatta, and certainly the energetic and experienced flag officers of the club deserve the fullest meed of praise for their ex- ertions in promoting yachting interests, and merit that support which they will assuredly receive. It is a great pity that the Royal Thames Yacht Club do not arrange their schooner match for " an earlier period of the season, so as to enable many fine schooners to accompany the first- class cutters round to the Irish Channel, where many valuable prizes will be offered for their competition, and they could return in time for the southern matches. This year the match in the Thames takes place on the 27th of June, the second day of the Mersey Regatta; surely the match for schooners would form an admirable second day to the first- class cutter match in the Thames, and thus afford the many Channel yachtsmen who attend the latter an addi- tional treat of sailing, wliich they are now prevented from wit- nessing, by the time at which it takes place interfering with the arrangements of their own regattas. The course for the Mersey prizes will be the usual one sailed in Liverpool Bay. The recent excellent arrangement of starting, and having the flagship off the landing stage, on the Liverpool side, will be adhered to, thus giving the townspeople an opportunity of closely witnessing the two most important events in the different matches. A large steamer will accompany the vessels round the course, having on board the officers and members of the club and their friends. The time allowance for difference of tonnage will be | of a minute per ton up to 25 tons, j minute from 25 to 50 tons, | minute from 50 to 75 tons, 10 seconds from 75 to 120 tons, five seconds from 120 to 150 tons, and no time allowance beyond loO- tons. The rules against shifting ballast will be strictly enforced, according to the follow- ing regulation:—" That no ballast or weight be shifted during the match, that no water ballast be allowed, that no bags of shot or other ballast prepared or suitable for the purpose of shifting be allowed to be en board, and a declaration to that effect be signed by the owner or his representative previous to the match; that all ballast shall be under the platform or in the lockers, and that the platform and lockers shall be sealed down by a person ap- pointed for the occasion by the, acting officer of the club; no more than the usual anchors or chains shall be allowed to be carried during the match." The Phryne and Phosphorus may properly be said to belong to the port of Liverpool, and to these vessels may be added the Thought and Queen ( cutters), and the Snipe and Cecilia ( yawls), as the vessels likely to uphold the " Liver;" tlje Vindex, Audax, 8iren, Marina, Chrystabel,. and Queen( late Lurline), from the Thames fleet; the Heroine, Sibyl, and Avalanche, from Cork; the Echo, L'Eclair, Banba, Storm,; and possibly the Aura, from Kingstown ; and the Surf and / Eolus from the Clyde, are those at present spoken of as likely to form the challenging fleet. Amongst the schooners the IernS, Ariadne, Sabrina, and Hornet will probably represent the Mersey ; the Circe, Rowena, Anita, and Reverie from the Clyde; the Amy and Belle from Kingstown ; and the Kingfisher and Gertrude from Cork are anticipated to contest the laurels of the " two siickers." It is to be hoped that the Galatea and some of the southern schooners will also be round for this and the other regattas. Ten days after the Mersey Regatta will be held that of the Royal Northern Yacht Club, on Tuesday and Wednesday, the 7th and 8th of July. This will give ample time for the fleet of yachts to proceed from Liverpool to the Clyde, where, in addition to the liberal programme of sport offered, yachtsmen will have an opportunity of enjoying some of the finest scenery in the world. There can be no more splendid cruise than in the Scot- tish waters, and a more picturesque scene than that of a regatta on the Clyde cannot be witnessed at any other yachting station in the United Kingdom. From Liverpool to the Cumbrae Islands, at the entrance of the Clyde, the distance is 173 nautic miles. Yachtsmen will have the harbour of Douglas, Isle of Man, should they wish to visit this beautiful Island on their passage ; and we would just hint to any of them that may be caught off the Mull of Galloway by a flood tide and with light winds that there is an excellent stopping place to the eastward of the Mull, just under the Lighthouse, where they can comfortably ride out the flood. On Tuesday, the first day, the first prize will be a silver vase, value 100 guineas, presented by Vice- Commodore Richard- son, open to cutters of 25 tons and upwards, belonging to members of royal yacht clubs. The second race will be for a purse of 30 sovereigns, for yachts of from 10 to 30 tons. On Wednesday there will be a purse of 100 sovereigns given by the club for schooners and yawls of 30 tons and upwards; a purse of 50 sovereigns for cutters of 25 tons and upwards ; and a purse of 20 sovereigns for yachts of from 8 to 20 tons. These prizes will be open to vessels belonging to members of royal yacht clubs. The rule against shifting ballast will be as follows:—" That no ballast or weight be shifted during the match; that no water ballast be allowed; that no bags of shot or other ballast prepared or suitable for shifting be allowed to be on board, and a declaration to that effect be signed by the owner or his representative previous to the match, and countersigned by the owner and his sailing master before receiving the prize ; that all ballast shall be under the platform, or in lockers, and that the platform and lockers shaTl be examined by a person appointed for the occasion by the afeifc •<• ' if officer of the club; no more than the usual anchors or chiSiv shall be allowed to be carried during the match." Dublin Bay Regatta will follow that of the Clyde, on Wednesday and Thurs- day, the 15th and 16th of July; seven days intervening between the two events will enable the yacht fleet to repair damages, and get down south again in good time. The meeting this year will be under the auspices and management of the Eoyai Irish Yacht Club. The programme embraces many valuable prizes, amongst them a very handsome piece of plate of the value of sixty guineas, presented by the Royal St George's Yacht Club. From the Cumbrae Islands to Kingstown Harbour the distance is 155 nautic miles. Six days after the Kingstown Regatta will be held the Royal Cork Yacht Club meeting. An excellent programme of sport will, as usual, be offered by this fine old club, and a rare fleet of clippers will proceed from Kingstown. We are sorry to see that no men- tion has been made of an Ocean Match between these ports this year; however, that something of the kind will tafke place we have no doubt, as, if either of the Cork Yacht Clubs do not offer a prize, a sweepstakes will be made up between the vessels bound for the regatta. The Royal Victoria Yacht Club is now taking the lead in ocean races, and it is to be regretted that the Royal Cork, which initiated them, does not uphold its prestige, for they certainly are the finest and most interesting matches that can be sailed, proving both vessels and crews to the fullest extent. The distance from Kingstown to Queenstown is 157 nautic miles. The rule against shifting ballast adopted by the Royal Cork Club is even still more stringent, providing a penalty for infringement. It is as follows:—" That no ballast or weight be thrown overboard or shifted during the race ; that no water ballast be allowed ; that no shot bags, or other ballast prepared or suitable for shifting, be allowed to be on board, and that a decla- ration to that effect be signed by the owner, or his representative, previous to the race, and countersigned by the same person and the ( sailing master before receiving the prize. That all ballast 104 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JUNE 14, 1863. shall be under the platform or in the lockers, and that the platform and lockers shall be examined by such persons, and at such times, as the committee may appoint; no wore than the usual chains be allowed to be carried during the race : and if it shall be proved before the committee that any part of the above regulations have been evaded or infringed, the master of the yacht, and the yacht • while in possession of same owner so evading or infringing, shall be disqualified from sailing at any of our regattas.'' We think the five regattas we have above detailed will afford a month of match sailing tempting enough to any yachtsman, and the courtesy and attention that ever characterise the meetings in the St George's Channel will induce many of our wandering cruisers to join those already bound for those waters.

The last of the series of Mr Herbert Playford's regattas came off on Wednesday, June 3, and we cannot but regret the temporary ifvnot permanent, extinction of the Sons of the Thames, con. rinced as we are that he must be a self- sacrificing man indeed • who would attempt to get up another in the face of the many diffi- culties Mr Playford has had to encounter. There are probably but few amateurs who understand and rightly appreciate the vast amount of care and attention, of time, trouble, and expense which the management of any regatta entails upon its promoters, not tp mention the number of complaints, arid at times the quantity of abuse, which they must necessarily expect to receive from some of the many for whom they cater. Mr Playford, however, despite having difficulties of every sort to contend against, kept faith • with the public, and has done so this year in the face of the fact that he is considerably short of the amount distributed in prizes, and must on Tuesday last have lost at least £ 20 on the three steamboats he had engaged : so much for the support the rowing public lend to their best friends, and the appreciation in • which their painstaking efforts are held. Mr Playford, however, is rewarded in the contemplation of the fact that he has done in- finite good to the cause of rowing on the River Thames. Established in 1861, the offer of such sums of money for prizes as many lads under 17 and men under 23 had never, perhaps, seen before m their lives, and certainly had never before had the chance of winning at any similar regatta, has had the effect of bringing forward many men who would never have been known to fame but for Mr Playford; their merits asscullers andoarsmen would never have been displayed, and if they had, their rowing would have been confined to the places to which they belonged: for one simple reason, that their friends would never have found the money to bring them cut. The Sons of the Thames Regatta, therefore, has done for them what their friends could not do, and consequently many men unknown even by name in 1861 made their debut in the Sons of the Thames, and are now good public performers. Here is the first cause for self- gratulation on Mr Playford's part, and the next is that he has been singularly for- tunate in the number of the entries for his races each year, and in the keenness of the competition in them. A review of the whole series of Mr Playford's regattas shows us that in 1861 four senior fours, four senior pairs, and nine senior scullers, and four junior fours, one junior pair, and four junior scullers contended, giving a total of 63 men engaged. In 1862 there were eight senior fours, six senior pairs, and eight senior scullers, and six junior fours, seven junior pairs, and the like number of scullers, making 111 engaged; while in 1863 we have three senior fours, seven senior pairs, eleven senior scullers, and four junior fours, three junior pairs, and nine junior scullers, making an aggregate of 75 entered ; this gives us a grand total of 219 competitors, from which, deducting for men who have competed in more than one regatta 46, we have 203 as the total number engaged, among whom £ 502 10s has been dis- tributed, being £ 315 among the seniors, men under 23, and £ 187 10s among the juniors, under 17. The regatta has all along been open to watermen, apprentices, and Thames residents be- tween Gravesend and Oxford, inclusive, the working ex- penses have been ridiculously small, thanks to the gentle- men who supported Mr Playford, and, consequently, nearly all the money collected has been given away, and those wh © cared to advance their half- crowns and go on board the accompanying steamboats, saw the races all the icay. a thing seldom attempted in regattas. Mr Playford, too, has introduced a vast improvement in the dresses of the com- petitory, which are as prominent as need be wished ; and we hope that " K„" who wrote us immediately after the Thames National, complaining of not being able to see the colours of the competitors, • was at Putney on Wednesday, as he would have seen his darling wish carried out to the very letter. Tuesday was a splendid day, but even this did not tempt many to Putney ( perhaps Ascot had something to do with it) ; and the Rifleman, Venus, and Citizen P, which Mr Playford had engaged to accompany, were al- most deserted, particularly the last two, which went up with alternate races. There were 16 events on the card, and only one man wasmissing out of the 75 entered. The regulations were as before including Mr Playford's capital plan of ringing a bell for competitors to come to stations, and for them all to cease rowing in the event of a foul. The racing commenced at one o'clock with the Junior Scullers Race, first heat, and was kept up with clock- like punctuality till seven, when the curtain fell on— let us hope, despite our fears to the contrary— not the last Sons of the Thames Regatta. * The numbers on the left denote the stations, counting from the Middlesex side. JUNIOR SCULLERS RACE, for prizes amounting to £ 12, viz :— First boat £ 7, second £ 2 10s, third £ 1 10s, fourth £ 1. The first two men in each heat to row in the final. FIBST HEAT. * 3. James Myers ( Custom House) 1 1. William Kitten ( Hammersmith) 2 5. Henry Tagg ( East Moulsey) 0 2. Charles Wheeler ( Richmond) 0 4. Charles Taylor ( Waterloo) dis Course: Putney to Hammersmith. Wheeler had a slight lead at the time of the start, which put him first, Myers being next, then Tagg, little Biffen, who did not seem to hear the word " Off,'' not going till he waB full a length behind. They were no soener in action than Myers took the lead at enormous pace, and was clear at the Star and Garter: Wheeler, Taylor, and Tagg were at this time about level, when Wheeler pulling his left hard Taylor gave way before him, and pulled across Tagg, fouling him. Upon this Mr Playford sounded his bell, and disqualifying Taylor, started the others afresh opposite the London Boat- house. The start this time was a very fine one, Myers taking a little lead directly, followed by Tagg, Bift'en again last, but with the best station, rowing well and gamely; at the Point Tagg was close on to Myers, and after they had been in dangerous proximity some time they went wide, and continued to row a desperate race, which lasted to Craven, where Wheeler came up nearly level outside, and the contest was exceedingly exciting, Biffen being only half a length behind the others. From here to the Crab Tree they were ever and anon in danger of fouling, but Tagg eventually went first, Myers being second, and Biffen acquiring the third place. At the Soap Works Tagg had seemingly firmly established himself as the winner of the heat, and looked uncommonly like a winner right through, but, unfortunately, he rowed so badly into a barge that all went by him, and although he pulled gamely afterwards, the goal was too near, and he could not finish more than third, Myers winning by a length and a half, Biffen two lengths from Tagg. SECOND HEAT. 1. G. Williams ( Kew) 1 3. T. Robinson ( l'utney) 2 4. S. Jones ( St John's Wood) 0 2. Stephen Eastmead ( Chelsea) dr Distance as before. Williams was quickest off, and made such good use of his sculls that he was a length ahead at the Star; soon afterwards fouling the barge, which has been in the way for years past, Robinson drew level, but catching a crab, failed to get in front, and Williams, after getting clear, went away as he liked, and won easily; Jones never stood a chance. FINAL HEAT. 2. G. Williams ( Kew) 1 3. J. Myers ( Custom House) 2 4. W. Biffen ( Hammersmith) 3 1. T. Robinson ( Putney) 4 Distance. Hammersmith to Putney. They started well toge- ther, but little Bitten, the smallest of ' the party, was the quickest of the lot, and rowing very smartly, had soon acquired a lead of half a length, Myers being second, then Williams; the second named having the best station on the state of tide. rowed up to and passed Biffen soon after the Distillery, and Williams, soon fol- lowing suit, the " little- un" was left third. At the Soap Works Williams had already begun te collar Myers, who had obtained a good lead by his rapidity of action ; but who, on finding himself pressed at the Dung Wharf, became very wild, and fell an easy prey to his opponent at the Point. About this time Robinson chal- lenged Biffen for third money, but fouling a skiff fell last, and the race finished in the order we have given above, Williams winning by two lengths ; a trifle less between Myers and Biffen. The • winner rowed under protest as being ever age, and looked so. SENIOR PAIRS, for prizes amounting to £ 22, viz, first boat £ 15, second £ 4, third £ 2, fourth £ 1; the first and second in each heat entitled to row in the final. FIRST HEAT. 4. H. Harris and J. Glover ( Richmond) 1 2. W. Fordrey and W. Sadler ( Putney) 2 1. W. Elliott and J. Carpenter ( Pimlico) O 3. J. Newell and W. Hill ( Lea Bridge), 0 The winners went away with the lead, followed by the Putney pair, Elliott and Carpenter next, and as they continued in these positions all the way the race needs but little description. At Craven the Richmond pair led by two lengths, the Putney pair four lengths ahead of the Pimlico, and both the leaders only rowed after this to secure a position in the final. Distance, Put- ney to Hammersmith. SECOND HEAT. 2. H. Hartlebury and W. Harper ( Richmond) 1 3. G. Patman and G. Gooch ( PJackwall) 2 1. J. Light and J. Rosewell ( Paddington) 0 The Richmond party went away from the first, and won as they liked, but there was a capital race between the other pairs until Light and Rosewell fouled a barge, coming in last. Distance as before. FINAL HEAT. 4. Harris and Glover ( Richmond) 1 1 Hartlebury aud Harper'Richmond) 2 2. Sadler and Fordrey ( Putney) 3 3. Patman and Gooch ( B'. ackwalD 4 Distance, Hammersmith to Putney. The winners, obtaining the lead, shot rapidly in front, and drew away so fast that they led by their own length in half a dozen strokes. Sadler and For- drey were second, and the other Richmond pair third, a capital race going on with the second and third pairs till near the Crab Tree, where Hartlebury and partner, who had been dodging about their opponents' stern, came level, and soon passing them, went after the leaders. By this time, however, the latter had acquired much too long a lead ever to be displaced, and won in a walk; the Putney pair were a long way behind Hartlebury and Harper, and the Blackwall party still further astern. The winners of this race also rowed under protest. SENIOR SCULLS, for prizes amounting to £ 15 10s, viz, first man £ 10, second £ 3, third £ 110s, fourth £ 1; the first boat only allowed in the final heat. FIRST HEAT. 3. John Biffen ( Hammersmith) 1 1. Samuel Tagg ( East Moulsey) 0 2. V. Green ( Lea Bridge) 0 Distance, Putney to Hammersmith. Bifi'en first got away, Green next, then Tagg, the latter rowing very unsteadily, and they kept these positions till off the Bull's Head, where Green for a moment obtained the lead, but Biffen wrested from him again. This brought them opposite the London i *- l » use, and Tagg rowing up on their quarter, the race VsJine very pretty until they fell one behind another in the order named off the Bishop's Creek, Biffen leading Green by half a length clear, Tagg rather more astern of Green. Near 1 the Point the water became very rough, and Biffen going through it well drew away a little more, while Green seemed hardly able to keep himself afloat; he, however, preserved his advantage over Tagg, who kept over « n the Surrey shore, and very narrowly es- caped being turned out by a boat directly afterwards. There was a clear length between each at the Point, and Green kept Biffen going so well that there was scarcely more at Craven; he had now, however, to look after Tagg, who came right on his quarter at the Dung Wharf. Green shook him off again at the Crab Tree, but again and again, more from strength than skill, Tagg drew level with his stern; Green was able to keep him off till close to home, where Tagg drew dead level. They continued like this till within fifty yards of the steamboat pier, when Tagg boring hi3 man over there was a foul between them, Green's scull also fouling the pier half way up the loom, owing to Tagg not leaving him room to clear it. This, however, did not matter, as there was only one taken for the final heat, and Biffen won by two lengths; Tagg half his length in front of Green. SECOND HEAT. 1. Charles Conet ( Custom House) 1 2. G. Cranley ( Hammersmith) 0 Cranley took the lead, and was half a length ahead off Sim- monds's, but getting into trouble by fouling some craft, he allowed Conet to go past him and obtain a long lead. After getting straight again Cranley rowed well and strong, but never stood a chance afterwards, Conet winning easily. Distance as before. THIRD HEAT. 1. Joseph Sadler ( Putney) 1 2. Frederick M'Mahon ( Putney) 0 3. William Sawyer ( Teddington) 0 Sadler got away with the lead, followed by the other Putneyite, and in this order they rowed to the Star, where Sawyer went se- cond and collared Sadler at the London Boat- house. At this mo- ment, either by accident or design, M'Mahon rowed up, and touching Sawyer on the quarter, turned him half round towards the Middlesex shore, and during the interim Sadler got right away, and never being approached, won by many lengths. M'MahonandSawyer after this remained level, and remained so all the way home, to the surprise of all, for while Sawyer was rowing hard, M'Mahon did not seem to be rowing an ounce, sitting quite doubled up in his boat. He got his craft along somehow, however, and after a smart tussle at the finish, went in second by about two feet. Distance as before. FOURTH HEAT. 2. T. Wise ( Hammersmith) 1 3. W. Hoare ( Hammersmith) 0 1. H. W. Everest (. Hampton) 0 Everest was quickest off, and half his length ahead of Wise at the Star and Garter, where he began to steer badly, and nearly fouled Wise, who immediately afterwards passed him, followed by Hoare, Everest after this being out of the race. Wise con- tinued to lead, the match being very close, when he fouled a boat with his scull, which allowed Hoare to come up and pass him, and he led by nearly a length clear at the Point. He did not maintain his advantage long, however, and catching a crab at Craven, Wise went past him, and was leading by half his length at the Dung Wharf. This lead he increased, although Hoare ( brother of Tom of that ilk) spurted up well once or twice, and won by three lengths. Distance as before. FINAL HEAT. 1. J. Sadler ( Putney) 1 3. J. Biffen ( Hammersmith) 2 2. T. Wise ( Hammersmith) 3 4. C. Conet ( Custom House) 4 This and all the succeeding races were rowed down from Ham- mersmith to Putney. Conet having, as will be observed, the best station, started at railway pace and in good form, and had cleared himself in a few strokes, rowing well ahead ; Biffen was second out, Wise next, then Sadler from the worst station. This order lasted to the Distillery, where 8adler gave Wise the go- by, and was now a length astern to Biffen, Conet leading by a length, and increasing his advantage between the Distillery and Soap Works. From here to the Crab Tree, Sadler, who was evidently bent on mischief from the first, overhauled Biffen and went into second place at the Crab Tree, Biffen rowing well astern, with Wise close up. Sadler now began to collar Conet, who was evi- dently getting baked, but had enough left in him to make it a des- perate race till Sadler overlapped him at the Dung Wharf, and immediately afterwards they fouled, Biffen going first; Sadler after the foul eased up and allowed Conet to go away again, both passing Biffen. At Craven Cottage, however, Conet, finding Sadler collaring him again, suddenty ceased rowing, having put the high pressure on too much at first, and allowed all the lot to pass him, finishing last. During the second foul ( Sadler again coming on his quarter) Biffen again obtained the lead, but Sadler having disposed, of Conet made short work of Biffen, who was fain to re- main second. At the Point Sadler led by a clear length, and this he increased into two lengths and a half at the finish, although Biffen rowed well all the way. The latter finished three lengths in front of Wise, Conet four lengths behind him. Two at least of the four who contended in this race will, we feel confident, be heard of again, and the manner in which Sadler, who started from the worst station, cut down his men, and particularly Bitfen, who had every advantage, being clear of the others all the time and getting ahead at each foul, surprised nearly every one, while his rowing stamps him as a very likely young fellow." JUNIOR PAIRS, for prizes amounting to £ 17, viz, first boat £ 10 » second £ 4. third £ 2, fourth £ 1; in one heat. 2. F. Clarke and G. Hallett ( Lambetn) 1 1. W. Ryan and E. Bathmaker ( unknown) 2 3. W. Beatiie and C. Rice ( Strand) 3 The Lambeth and Strand pairs rowed in old- fashioned boats, the others in an outrigger; according to the rules, therefore, Ryan and friend had to give 60ft start, but it was not above 30. The Lambeth pair took the lead, followed by the incogs, who lost a little by steerage, and Lambeth continued to lead by the Soap Works. Immediately afterwards Ryan and partner went first, but their positions changed again several times, and it was not until they had passed the Crab Tree that Ryan went well in front, and seemed winning, aided by very pretty steerage. The bow- man, however, could not keep his partner going, and the Lambeth pair challenging them again, collared them at Bishop's Creek and went into first place, the old- fashioned boat winning pluckily by five or six lengths. SENIOR FOURS, for prizes value £ 67 10s, viz, first boat £ 50, second £ 10, third £ 5, fourth £ 2 10s ; in one heat. 1. United Thames Crew ( London and Oxford) 1 2.

Barton ( cos) This Tace was looked upon as likely to be a good one, the stroke in the first boat coming from Oxford, and in the second beings native of Nottingham originally; while the fact of Kemp and Fen- ton— who won the pair- oared against Carter and Chapman so gal- iantly a shorttimeago— beinginthe Strand crew, made it look a very close thing, and so in some respects it was. The Strand party, with the best station, took the lead at a good pace, the Five Friends next, but, although starting from the worst station, the lively and excellent stroke set by the Oxonian soon took the United Thames ahead, and they led by half a length at the Distillery ; 100 yards further on the Strand, putting on a spurt, drew level'again, though wide, but only for a moment, and at the Soap Works the United Thames led by a length and a half. Just before this the Nottingham stroke took Radford's crew ahead of the Strand party, and they began to spurt on Cook's crew, who had increased their lead totwo and a half or three lengths at the Crab Tree. From here the Five Friends came up so fast as to be within a length of the leaders at Craven, and a fine race followed, the weight of the United Thames' coxswain retarding them by making them hang by the stern. At the Point, however, they got away again, and after easing at the last won by three or four lengths. The Strand crew gradually tailed off after being passed by the Five Friends, and finished a very bad third.

Pye ( cox) The Richmond party went away with the lead at a clipping pace, followed by Chelsea, the East- enders next, and then Lam- beth ; immediately afterwards the Millwall crew passed the Chelsea, becoming third, and the last threewereall on one another's quarters passing the Soap Works, where the Richmondites led by- two lengths, the Lambeth lads, who were a very smart lot, going gallantly by the Millwall crew, and pressing after the leaders, whom they nearly caught at Craven. At the Point, however, the Richmond party went away, and won by two lengths, the Lambeth party six or eight lengths ahead of the Millwallers, the Chelsea crew, who were much too young to compete with any chance of success, and the weight of whose coxswain kept their stern right under water, having been hopelessly behind long before. There was also a protest against the winners in this race. CONSOLATION RACE FOR JUNIOR SCULLERS.— This was open to all but the winner of the first prize, and the prizes collected on board the steamboats amounted to first man 25s, second 10s, third 5s; but Henry Tagg alone came to the post, and walked over. There was better luck in store for the spectators, however, in the CONSOLATION RACE FOB SENIOR SCULLERS, open to the se- cond men in the trial heats, and all but the winner in the final; also to the winner of the first prize in the Junior Sculls. Thomas Wise ( Hammersmith) 1 G. Cranley ( Hammersmith) 2 Samuel Tugg ( East Moulsey) 3 F. M'Mahon ( Putney) 0 This was a splendid race throughout. M'Mahon, from the best station, took a good lead, Tagg next, then Cranley, and at the Soap Works M'Mahon led by half a length, Tagg just ahead of Wise. With little variation they rowed to the Crab Tree, and to make the race plainer we may say that a clear length here would have embraced the whole lot, Cranley and Wise having a splen- did race, which never ceased till home. At Craven Tagg had fallen last and Cranley got ahead a little, and ever and anon first he and then Wise led by a foot or two, the others spurting up till close to the Point, where M'Mahon had had enough of it, and tailed off. Tagg was now a couple of lengths behind, but while the other two were literally killing each other by their pace and extraordinary race, he crept quietly up wide of them, and then went ahead. At the half mile post Cranley fell off, and Wise passed Tagg, who fell level with Cranley, the latter giving way at about the middle of Finch's, Tagg drawing up on Wise's quarter. At the Bishop's Creek Cranley suddenly spurted up again, passed Tagg, and came on Wise's quarter, and the race con tinuing as severe a3 ever all the way home. Wise won the first prize by about three quarters of his length, Tagg being more than half over Cranley. The awards were respectively £ 2 10s( 15s, and 5s. The prizes were presented after the conclusion of the regatta in the London Rowing Club rooms, all the protests being waived except that which seems the most captious one of any, viz, by the coxswain of the Chelsea four against the winners in the Junior Fours. The prizes, therefore, in this race are in abeyance. LONDON AMATEUR ROWING CLUB. The members of this club held their monthly general meeting on Thursday evening, June 4, the Captain, Mr A. W. Hill in the chair, faced by Mr J. H. Lee, the deputy. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, Capt E. San- dell, Skinner's- place, E. C.; and Messrs J. Benjamin, Marylebone- street, Regent- street, W.; I. Wharton Tiver, 50, Bedford- row; G. Brown, Whittington Club; C. Cardaza, Sussex Villas, Queen's- road, Richmond; F. Crowther, 54, Coleshill- street, Eaton- square, were elected members of the club, and the entries for the next race of the club in double sculler's boats closed soon afterwards with the following result:— Middlesex station, No 1.— Messrs Neednam and Arkill. " No 2.— Messrs Charles and Marshall. " No 3.— Messrs Clayton and J ump. Surrey station. No 1.— Messrs Williams and Flaxman. The ® eputy Captain gave notice of motion in the course of the evening that Rules 1 and 18 be altered, so as to alter the name and colours of the club. Grave reasons have long; existed for these intended changes and we hope that all the members will attend at the next meeting, which will be held on Thursday, July 2. At present the Un- dine seems the only name which can be taken, but every member is requested to send in a suggestion. The captain having an- nounced that he would give a prize for a race in pair- oared boats ( outriggers) in the course of the year, August 6 was fixed upon as the day of rowing, at six o'clock in the evening, the course being Putney to Hammersmith. Weekly meetings of the club are held every Thursday, at eight p. m., at the Unifin Hotel, Air- street, Regent- street, and the club rowing nights are Wednesdays ( 6: 15 train) and Saturdays ( 4: 15 train). NORTH LONDON ROWING CLUE. At the last meeting of this club, held at Biffen's, Hammersmith, on Wednesday, June 3, the following members were elected, viz : — A. Powell, S. B. Clark, J. Infers, R. P.

The race is to start at four o'clock, and will be accompanied by the Venus, which leaves Waterloo Bridge at 2: 15, and will proceed to Kew after the match. The band of the 20th Middlesex Volunteer Rifles will be in attendance. WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB. The next race of this club will take place on June 22, and will be a pair- oared gig race, with coxswains. The entries will close on June 10, so as to allow a fortnight's practice, as this race is in- tended to bring out a number of new members. The prizes for the late four- oared race of the club, won by Mr Houseman's crew, will be presented at the meeting on June 6. CORSAIR ROWING CLUB. At the, usual monthly meeting of this club, held on Monday, June 1, it was unanimously resolved that the secretary be em- powered to send a formal challenge to the Ariel Rowing Club, for the annual four- oared race with them, desiring them to fix the same for the 25th July or 1st August, those dates being most con- venient for the C. R. C. A challenge from the Excelsior Boating Club ( Greenwich) to row a home and home race in four- oared boats was also read to the meeting, and which the secretary was instructed to accept, naming the 8th Aug as the day on which the C. R. C. would row them at Putney, the race to be rowed in out- rigged boats, leaving the fixture of. the return match ( which will be rowed at Greenwich) and the style of boats to the pleasure of the Excelsiors. Messrs A. Millet, W. Charman, W. Kearns, E. Renault. H. Reviere, C. Stucky, and A. B. Keene were duly elected members, and the following gentlemen proposed for the ballot at the next meeting, July 6:— Messrs W. Treloar, J. Eglese, J. E. Brain, and J. Kearns. The four- oared race of the 20th June, which will be rowed in outriggers, obtained the following entries:— ELLINGER'S CREW. I KEARNS'S CREW. HERRON'S CREW. N. Adams II. Kearns H. Castell G. Drayson | G. Varty H. Moore F. Gough I C. J. Price J. E. Brain J. Ellinger J. C. Kearns A. Herron W. Kearns ( cox) | A. Miller ( cox) W. Charman ( cox) A steamboat will attend the race, and friends requiring tickets are requested to apply early to the hon secretary, at the Boat House, Sirnmonds's, Putney. OXFORD UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB. SILVER SCULLS.— The competition for the Silver Challenge Sculls took place on the evenings of Wednesday and Thursday, June 2 and 3, and attracted a large number of spectators to the banks of the Isis. The trophy has been held for the past year by Mr W. B. Woodgate, of Brasenose, the amateur champion of the Thames, who was disqualified this year by virtue of residence. The entries were sufficiently numerous, viz, six in number, to entitle the winner to a silver cup in addition to the honour of holding the sculls, although we believe it was generally under- stood one of the gentlemen who contended did so to serve the interests of the winner. The following are the entries:— Carr, Wadham; Parker, University; Mitchell, Magdalen; Streeton, Queen's; Harris, Brasenose ; and Valentine, Lincoln. First Heat.— A time race between Messrs Harris and Mitchell, who were drawn together; Mr Harris had the first position. The race was very evenly rowed, and as they approached the flags it was difficult to discern the winner; Mr Mitchell, however, having slightly the best of the water at the finish, accomplished his distance first, Mr Harris stopping just before getting home. The pistol reports were about 25 seconds after each other, but this was no criterion of the race, as Mr Harris, after stopping, rowed to his flag. Second heat between Messrs Carr, Wadham, and Streeton, Queen's.— Mr Carr, who had first position, was greatly the favourite, and his friends thought he had won the race, but the pistol report gave the victory to his opponent by the fraction of a second, the result being attributable to Mr Streeton's plucky exertions " on the post.'' Third heat.— Messrs Valentine, Lincoln, and Parker, University. Mr Valentine, who had first place, was almost overhauled by Mr Parker, who, in accordance with general expectation, was an easy winner. THURSDAY.— Messrs Streeton ( Queen's) and Mitchell ( Magda- len), two of the winners of yesterday, contended this evening, when the latter, who had the first position, won easily by ten seconds. FRIDAY.— Final heat: Mitchell ( Magdalen) first station. Won easily by Parker ( University), who was close behind his oppo- nent at University barge. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.— On the evening of the usual procession of boats at the end of Term, which is this year fixed for Wednesday, June 17, there will be an eight- oared race between two University crews, from the Willow to the Uni- versity Barge, which will be entirely reserved for the use of the Prince of Wales and his illustrious princess, at whose especial request the race has been appointed. The start will take place at 6: 30 p. m. precisely. A stand will be placed on the Berkshire shore for the accommodation of members of the O. U. B. C. and their friends, tickets for which will be issued through the captains of college boats. We have just received Messrs Spiers's Chart of the University Boat Races, which will be found useful to stran- gers on this occasion, in showing the names of the college boats as they row up. QUEEN'S COLLEGE, OXFORD. THE SILVER CHALLENGE OARS AND RUDDER.— This race was rowed on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 2 and 3, and was a time race from Iffley to Oxford. Four boats were entered, the crews having been selected at the beginning of the summer term. The heats were as follow:— TUESDAY, JUNE 2.- 1. lakes 2. Madan, sen 3. Mackinnon i. Hull Webb ( cox) - FIRST HEAT. 1. Noble 2. Littledale 3. Taylor, sen 4. Streeten, sen Streeten, jun ( cox) Mr Hull won the toss, and chose the first place. The race was pretty well decided on passing the Long Bridges, and Mr Hull came in an easy winner. SECOND HEAT. 1. Galton j 1. Bartholomew 2. Cox 2. Godley 3. Oartwright I 3. Bird, jun 4. Bird, sen I 4. Milroy Symonds ( cox) I Maberly ( cos) Mr Bird won the choice of places, and had an easy victory. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 3.— FINAL HEAT. Mr Hull's crew 11 Mr Bird's crew 2 The toss was won by Mr Bird, who chose the first place. The race was very even up to the Willows, after which Mr Hull gained steadily, and, after a good race, came in a winner by about five seconds. Mr Hull's crew are, therefore, the holders of the silver oars and rudder, presented by Messrs Madan and Maidlow, fellows of the college ; and also receive pint tankards, presented by the boat club. WORCESTER COLLEGE, OXFORD. FOUR- OARED RACE.— This race was jrowed on Friday, May 22. There were only sufficient entries for three boats. The race was therefore rowed in one heat. The crews were as follow: 1. J. L. Francis 2. H. H. Moore 3. J. Barnes 4. H. 8. Colpoys C. R. IIenderson( cox 1. H. E. Walker 2. S. S. Scholefield 3. T. B. Hwusman 4. E. W. Bardsley J. M. Roberts ( cox) 1. R. M. Stuart 2. G. F. Daris 3. W. F. Rose 4. J. B. Butler J. R. Ward ( cox) The boats started well, but MrColpoys's crew soon took the lead, which it gradually increased up to the end of the race, coming in the winner by a few lengths. The race between the second and third boats was pluckily kept up, but Mr Bardsley's crew proved the strongest, and came in second, being some lengths ahead of Mr Butler's boat. WADHAM COLLEGE, OXFORD. CHALLENGE PAIRS.— This race was rowed on June 2, between the following boats :— Monro 1 I Manson 1 I Candy 1 Harding/ I Paynter J | Gamlen / It was a fine race, and Mr Harding won with ease. Mr Paynter lost all chance by bad steering at the start. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BOAI CLUB. MAGDALENE PAIR- OARS.— These races commenced on June 1, and the boats started in the following order:— Chambers and Hawkshaw ( 3d Trinity) I Kinglake and Selwyn ( 3d Trinity) 2 Pater and Dimes ( 1st Trinity) 3 Edgell and Merriman ( Queens') 4 Morris and Cockshott ( 2d Trinity) 5 Cadman and Richardson ( Trinity Hall) 6 The first pair kept well away to the end of the course. The Queens' men bumped 1st Trinity men. Trinity Hall pair caught the 2d Trinity pair, after much bad steering, at Grassy. JUNE 2.— The Trinity Hall pair having scratched, a time race was decided upon. At the word " Off" Kinglake and Selwyn gradually drew away, and at Grassy were near 13 seconds out of their distance; but from this point to the end Chambers and Hawkshaw picked up, and were beaten by 3sec; the other pair a minute behind. Time, 8min lsec: fast. Both pairs evidently re- quired more practice. ETON COLLEGE Lower Fours were rowed on Friday, May 22. Willan had Eton side, Phipps mid- stream, and Hall Windsor side. They all started pretty evenly, but at Athen Willau drew a little ahead, and at Upper Hope tried to take Hall's water. Hall, however, put on a spurt, and a foul ensued. After this Willan drew ahead, and finally won by a clear length and a half. However, as the foul was decided in favour of Hall, he was declared winner. Phipps, whose crew did not row well, had no chance from the beginning, and he came in last. Time lOmin 14sec. The follow ing were the crews:— 1. Tftomas I 1. Wickens I 1. M'Kerrell 2. Wellesley 2. Corkran mi 2. Brooke 3. Walpole | 3. Sir A. Lambe | 3. Lord Eerily n 4. Hall I 4. Willan 4. Phipps Clavton ( cox) | Holland ( cox) | Boyle ( cox) The trial heats of the sculling were on Monday, May 25. There were 10 entries, who were accordingly divided into two heats. FIRST HEAT.— FIIIST ROW. ETON. | MID- STREAM. | WINDSOR. Sir A. Lambe | Clayton | Sherbrooke SECOND Row. Corkran | Rickards Lambe went off with the lead, which he kept to Bargeman's Bush, where he was passed by Corkran, who kept the lead all through, and finally won. Sherbrooke pressed Lambe for second place till Upper Hope, where he dropped off, and Larnbe came in an easy second, Sherbr « oke third, and Clayton fourth. Rickards did not start. Time 23min. SECOND HEAT.— FIRST Row. ETON. | MID STREAM. I WINDSOR. Kasch I Lord Melgund 1 Thomas SECOND ROW. Newton | Willan Lord Melgund went off with the lead, but he was closely pres- sed by Willau. Just below Hester's Shed a foul ensued between Willan and Melgund, during which they were passed by Newton and Rasch. Rasch, however, was soon passed by both of them again, and Willan took the second place, Melgund the third. Newton having obtained a good lead, was never passed again, and won easily. Willan kept the second place till Hester's Shed coming down, where he was passed by Melgund, his left arm having given, pulling round Lower Hope; Melgund, therefore, came in second, Rasch third. Thomas did not go round. The final heat was on Wednesday, May 27. They started in the following order:— 1. ETON. 1 2. ETON. | 2. WINDSOR. | 1. WINDSOR. Newton | Lord Melgund | Corkran | Sir A. Lambe The start was very even. Newton, Melgund, and Corkran kept close together for a short distance, but at the Railway Bridge Corkran showed to the front, and getting the lead, cleared his length. He was never afterwards caught, and finally won by Tollady's lower raft; Lord Melgund was second, Newton thiid. Lambe fouled the ryepeck at Rushes, and did not come in. Time, 22min 30sec. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. A meting of this institution was held on Thursday at its house, John- street, Adelphi; T. Chapman, F. R. S., V. P., in the chair. There were also present Capt Sir E. Perrot, Bart, V. P.; Admiral Gordon, A. Boetefeur, Col Palmer, High Sheriff of Essex, W. H. Harton, and R. Lewis, the secretary. A reward of £ 14 was voted to the crew of the New Brighton tubular lifeboat of the institution, for their laudable exertions in putting off in tow of the steam tug Universe, of Liverpool, and rescuing, during a strong wind ana in a heavy sea, the crew of ten men from the brig Levant, of Bristol, which had stranded on the inside of the North Bank, in Liverpool Bay, on the 11th ult. The lifeboat has only been on this dangerous station a few months. She was re- ported to have behaved well when alongside the wreck. A reward of £ 6 10s was also voted to the crew of the Hastings lifeboat of the society, in going off and saving the crew of four men from the smack Britannia, of Ramsgate, which was totally wrecked on the East Groyne Rocks, off Hastings, during a gale of wind, on the 19th ult. Mr Roe, chief officer of the Coast Guard, was thanked by the institution for going off in the lifeboat on the occasion. The Lyme Regis lifeboat of the institution was also the means of rescuing from destruction the schooner Vulcan, of that place, which was observed, during a heavy gale of wind, to be rapidly driving on the rocks off Lyme Regis on the 19th ult. This valu- able lifeboat had, on one or two previous occasions, rescued ship- wrecked crews, under the most perilous circumstances, during dark and stormy weather. Various other rewards were likewise voted to the crews of other lifeboats of the society, and to those of shore boats for putting off" with the view of rescuing the crews of ves- sels in distress. The second service clasp of the institution was voted to Mr G. Beatson, inspecting chief officer of coast guard at Fraserburgh; the silver medal of the society, and a copy of its vote on parchment to Mr Alexander Forbes, shipbuilder, of Peter- bead : and the thanks of the institution inscribed on vellum to W. J. Parsons, A. Gray, J. Simmons, and £ 5 to them and to two other coast guardsmen, in testimony of their gallant conduct in rescuing, at considerable risk of life, eleven out of fourteen of the crew of the ship Genoa of Liverpool, which, during a very heavy gale of wind and high surf, was wrecked some time since on Rattray Brigg Rocks, near Peterhead. This was reported to have been a very gallant service, and that Mr Beatson, Mr Forbes, and the coast guardsmen had exerted themselves most nobly on the occasion. A reward of £ 10 was also voted to the crew of a fishing yawl, for putting off and rescuing, at risk of life, the crew of ten men from the brig Faith of Colchester, which during a gale of wind and very heavy sea was wrecked on Blakeney Bar on the 19th ult. A reward of £ 4 was likewise granted to the crew of a fishing smack for putting off and rescuing the crew of 13 men and a pilot from the brig Alii ef Helsingfors, which during squally weather was wrecked some time since on the Hasboro' Sands on the Norfolk coast. A reward of £ 5 was alBO voted to the crew of the smack John Hooper, of Plymouth, for rescuing the crew of four men from the ketch Helena, of Newport, Monmouth, which had sunk during a strong gale of wind near the Eddystone Lighthouse, on the 18th March. It was reported that the Admi- ralty had ordered H. M. S. Curaeoa, under the command of Com- modore Sir W. Wiseman, Bart, to be supplied with some of the most important stores for her lifeboat like those used in the boats of the National Lifeboat Institution. It was also stated that Lieut Wm. Farquhar, R. N., of H. M. S. Racehorse, on the China station, had forwarded a kind donation of £ 5 to the institution. It was likewise reported that the executors of the late Mrs Ann Cutto had paid to the society her munificent bequest of £ 1,000. The trustees of the late Mr James MiHer, of Glasgow, had also paid to the institution a legacy of £ 100 left to it by that gentleman. It was also stated that, at the annual meeting of the Manchester Unity of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, held on May 30, it had been resolved " That an annual voluntary subscription be made in every lodge of the Independent Order of Od ! Fel- lows, Manchester Unity, in aid of the funds of the National Life- boat Institution, as the subscription of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Friendly Society in aid of that noble and philan- thropic institution." Payments amounting to £ 384 having been made on various lifeboat establishments, the proceedings termi- nated. REWARDS FOR GALLANT CONDUCT AT SEA.— A public meet- ing was held in the Sailors' Home, Hull, a few days ago, at which the Mayor of Hull ( Mr W. H. Moss) presided, and on be- half of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, presented silver medals and copies of its votes on parchment, to Capt Maddick of the fishing smack Ruby of Hull, and to his apprentice boy, Wil- liam Thompson, for their gallant conduct in putting off in the smack's boat in a heavy gale of wind, and rescuing at great risk of life the crew of the schooner Ganymede of Ipswich, which foundered off the coast in January last. His worship also, on behalf of the Board of Trade and the inhabitants of Ipswich, pre- sented both Maddick and Thompson with silver watches and a sum of money. There was a crowded audience to witness the presentation. Since the first establishment of the National Life- boat Institution, £ 17,000 and 812 gold and silver medals have been voted by it for saving 13,000 persons from different wrecks on our coasts. The executors of the late Mrs Ann Cutto of the Old Kent- road, have promptly paid to the National Lifeboat Institution £ 1,000, being the amount of that lady's munificent legacy to that im- portant and valuable society. With its large fleet of 124 lifeboats to keep up in a state of thorough efficiency, the institution requires all the help a benevolent public can extend to it. THE EM, HARWICH REGATTA.— At this regatta, which stands for Wed- nesday, July 22, a 30- guinea cup, left over from last year, in con- sequence of a slight difference which arose, will be again offered. A club room has been secured on the upper story of the railway station, fronting the harbour, and well adapted for the purpose. It will supply a want long felt, not only by members of the club, but by yaciitsmen calling at the port during cruises. The directors of the Great Eastern Railway Company deserve the warm thanks of the club for the kind support which they have extended to it. Mr Goodson, the deputy- chairman of the company, is well known in the yachting world. The directors are prepared to give the ex- periment of establishing a line of steamers from Harwich to Hol- land a liberal and fair trial, and altogether the prospects of the port, and by consequence of yachting in the vicinity, appear to be improving. A match came off on Saturday, May 30, between N. Dartnal and J. Stevens ( both of Deptford), from Charlton Pier to Dept- ford, in old- fashioned boats, for £ 10 a side. After a very even start they rowed scull and scull to Blackwall, when, Dartnal nearly fouling a barge, Stevens went about two boats' lengths in front; but rowing too near the north shore, Dartnal soon took the lead, and at Greenwich was leading by four boats' lengths, and ultimately won by 100 vards. KINGSTON- ON- THAMES REGATTA.— This regatta will be held, under the management of the Kingston Rowing Club, on Tues- day, July 7. A programme of the races may be seen among the advertisements. Full particulars may be obtained from Mr A. Wilson, hon sec, 1, Melford- place, Surbiton. The draw for the Greenwich Watermen's Apprentices' Regatta will take place on Monday, June 8, at Mr Young's, King's Arms, King- street, Greenwich; and the Greenwich Amateur Regatta will take place on Monday, July 6. TWICKENHAM ROWING CLUB.— The scullers race of this club, fixed for the 3d June, has been postponed to the 3d August, and the four- oared race, originally fixed for July 3, will be rowed instead on Friday, June 19. Cook's crew, hearing that J. Radford's crew are not satisfied with their defeat in the Sons of the Thames regatta, will row them again for not less than £ 50 a side. A match can be made by leaving articles and a deposit at Bell's Life office. BERMONDSEY REGATTA.— The candidates who are to contend in the above regatta are particularly requested to attend a meeting on Monday, June 8, at Mr Short's, the Ship and Pilot, Ber- mondsey- wall. H. Dixon will make a match to row H. Bowen a right away scullers race from Woolwich to Cuckold's Point, in old- fashioned boats, for £ 10 a side, and will meet him at the White Horse, Rotherliithe, on Monday, June 8, prepared to make a match. ROYAL YORKSHIRE YACHT CLUB — The regatta annuallv given by this club has been fixed for Wednesday and Thursday, July 22 and 23, when the usual amount of prizes for yachts of various tonnage will be offered for competition. CHILDS AND DIXON.— For this match there is £ 6 10s a side down, and the next deposit of £ 2 10s a side is to be made at Mr Pugh's, Lord Nelson, Gill- street, Limehouse, on Monday, June 8. ROWING ON THE TRENT.— A crew of the Trent Rowing Club has made a trip to Lincoln in a six- oared boat. Rowing seems to be increasing in favour in this district. DEATH OF MR EDMUND BELFOUE.— Great gloom has been cast over the rowing world in general, and the London Rowing Club in particular, by the shocking death of Mr Belfour, the vice- president of the above club, who was accidentally drowned at Putney, while sculling on Thursday, June 4. Mr Belfour had long been on the river as an oarsman, and was besides known as the giver of the prizes which went by his name, and which have produced such exciting races, and tended so much to encourage pair- oared rowing during the past four years, and his loss to both the rowing world and in his private circle of acquaintance will long be felt. FATAL CANOE ACCIDENT AT CAMBRIDGE.— An accident of a fatal character occurred on Thursday morning, June 4, on the river near Grantchester Meadows, Cambridge, to Mr Isaac Pask, foundation scholar of Emmanuel College. Mr Pask, accompanied by two brother collegians, engaged three of the canoes and pro- ceeded to row up the river, and in turning a corner Mr Pask up- set his boat in 12 feet of water, and was drowned before assistance could be afforded. Neither of his companions could s wim, and no effectual help was near. The remains of the deceased were con- veyed to the Red Lion at Granchester to await an inquest. The Statute Law Belating to the Crews of Pleasure Yachts. By THOMAS GRAY, Esq, of Her Majesty's Civil Service. [ William Mitchell, 54, Gracechurch- street.]— An exposition of the law re- lating te pleasure yachts and the regulations appertaining to their navigation cannot but be of service to those whom it concerns. In this pamphlet the whole of the law is reproduced, divested of legal phraseology. It is, moreover, divided into headed sections, and furnished with references and elucidatory notes. R. GREEN, THE AUSTRALIAN CHAMPION.— The portrait of this sculler, who is so shortly to contend with R. Chambers of New- castle over the metropolitan course, has been added to the gallery of the enterprising Mr Newbold, the sporting publisher, of the Strand. CANINE FANCY. NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.— In future all avdertisements 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.

If Ryall sends articles to the Old King John, Holywell- lane, or to our office, Mace will sign them, and appoint a day to meet and settle as to the deposits. FIGHT FOR TUESDAY. TYSON AND MORRIS.— These lads fight for £ 25 a side, on Tues- day, June 9, on the Home Circuit, at catch weight. Tyson will be at Mr George's, Duke of York, North Wharf- road. Haddington, to- morrow . evening ; and Morris will be at Alec Keene's, Three Tuns, Moor- street, Soho, where the whereabouts will be made known. Alec Keene has to forward us £ 4 10s to- morrow. TYLER AND STEWART.— These men were to have fought on Tuesday, but the affair has ended in a disappointment. They went to scale on Monday, when both were under their weight, and they met at Waterloo station at a time that had been agreed upon, but there were no ropes and stakes. There was a good deal of wrangling, and the backers of Stewart stated that Oliver had been prevented from coming by Tyler, who did not intend to fight. How this may be, we cannot tell. Oliver gives as a reason for not attending that he did not believe there would be a fight, and therefore did not think it worth his while to come, especially as he might run the risk of losing his materials. It is an unfortunate thing that he should not have been present, as the men were thus prevented from showing their intention to fight, being unable to enter the ring. As it was, they came home as they went, having had all their expenses for nought. The articles, unfortunately, do not empower us to name a next time and place. Tyler says, however, he will increase the stakes to £ 50 a side, and fight in a fortnight, if we will name a place and a referee. To name a place we have no objection, but as to naming a referee, that is a respon- sibility which we emphatically decline. As a moral to this little tale, we would suggest to Mr Boston, or any other man, don't make matches where, unless you are as sharp as your opponents, you are sure to get the worst of it. YOUNG HOLDEN OF WALSALL AND DOLLAR WHITE OF HALES- OWEN.— These well- known midland district men were to have contended, at 8st 21b, for £ 25 a side, on Tuesday, June 2 ; both went to scale on Monday, at Tailby's, the Jim Crow, Hill- street, Birmingham, when both oame within the stipulated weight, and a well- contested fight was anticipated. Defford Common, Wor- cestershire, was the appointed place, and large numbers took their places by the early Worcester train ; but disappointment was the order of the day, for on arriving at the journey's end the police were on the alert in goodly numbers, and every one as he passed through the station was keenly eyed by the authorities. It soon became known that a threat held out by Bodger Crutchley of Birmingham, that he should telegraph to the authorities at Wor- cester of the intended fight, had been carried out. White, who had taken up his quarters at the Railway Tavern, Defford, having Wilkinson of the Potteries as his companion, was nearly cap- tured, the authorities having got soent of his whereabouts ; but by a clever ruse of Wilkinson's White escaped, and Wilkinson was taken in his place, Holden and his party beating a timely retreat. Although the men got together, owing to the vigilance of the authorities, who followed closely every movement, there was not the slightest chance of bringing the affair off'; and as no referee had been chosen, no fresh place or time could be named, and it was mutually arranged that the men should return with- out making any attempt to fight. Holden propeses to fight in the London district, and offers to bet White £ 20 to £ 10 on the result. They must settle the matter between themselves. We understand Crutchley telegraphed to the police because he was unable to obtain a sum of money due to him from White. T. BATE OF BIRMINGHAM AND SWADDY REECE OF BRISTOL.— These men were to have contended on Monday, June 1, at 8st 51b, for £ 15 a side, and a merry mill was anticipated, but it ended in disappointment. The men had to scale at T. Cooper's, in Bell- street, Birmingham. Bate was present at the appointed time, and in going to scale came within the stipulated weight, but Master Reece did not put in an appearance; and after some time Morris Phelan, on the part of Bate, claimed the battle money. Reece's backer ( W. Martin) stated that Reece had been appre- hended, and offered £ 10 to Bate to forego his claim, which was refused, Phelan stating that rather than the public should be dis- appointed, Bate would fight the Bristol Youth, be his weight what it might; but this did wot appear to suit. It has since turned out that Reece was not, at the time appointed for weighing, under any confinement, but that he absented himself, knowing he was over weight. Under these circumstances Bate claims the stakes, to which of course he is entitled. MORRIS AND DURKIN.— A Mr Lomax, who says he was referee in a fight between Michael Durkin and Peter Morris of Warring- ton, which took place on May 19, writes to us that 32 rounds were fought in 48 minutes, and that in the end lie decided in favour of Morris, on the ground that Durkin struck him when down. This being the case, we will send Morris the money when we have his address. WORMALD AND WOLF.— We find on reference to our books that we only received £ 45 for this match, instead of £ 50. The mistake appears to have occurred at the last deposit, and we believe is on the part of Hicks, the backer of Wormald. We shall be glad if the backers of the men produce their receipts next Wednesday or Thursday, before one o'clock at our office. BALDOCIC AND GANNON.— In this late match we find that there was a sum of £ 2 10s short on the part of one of the men, a mistake which we request may at once be rectified. Goss AND MACE.— For this match Mace must stake £ 30 and Goss £ 20 on Thursday, June 18, at a house to be named by Goss.

Tramore 2i OVER WEIGHTS IN STEEPLE CHASES. MB EDITOK : I answer your correspondent's question with much pleasure. Undoubtedly the object of Rule XII. is to assist handicappers, and give the public information of the quality of a horse, by enforcing the return of the actual weight carried. I must however express a strong doubt whether the present word- ing of the rule will effect this desirable object. In putting a con- struction upon any new rule or code precedent and analogy are the two principles that should be taken as our guides. Let us apply this test to the question at issue. Great similarity exists between Rule XXXVIII. of Racing, and Rule XII. of Steeple Chasing. I will quote briefly the words of each, referring those who are interested to the rules themselves. Rule XXXVIII. " Each jockey shall be allowed 21b over and above the weight specified, & c, and the weight each horse actually carried, if over 21b, shall be published," & c. Rule XII. " Every person who shall ride, & c, shall be allowed 4lb above the weight specified, & c. The person appointed by the stewards to weigh the jockey, shall, after each day's racing, assert how much each horse carried, where he carried more than 41b above the specified weight, and the clerk is to communicate the weight each horse actually carried, if more than 41b above his weight." What is the construction put on Rule XXXVIII., the older one? Is it not a rule in flat racing that in case of over weight the decla- ration begins not from the specified weight, but from the 21b excess; e. g., handicapped weight 8st, jockey weighs 8st - 51b, would not his weight be returned thus: " 8st ( carried 8st 31b) ?" If this view is correct, of which I am not sure, I think the return in a steeple chase should be made on the same principle, as the words " actually carried" occur in both rules. Let me assure your correspondent that I have no personal interest in the matter, as I never owned a steeple cliase horse nor betted £ 5 in my life. I have taken much interest in the publication of a new set of steeple eliase rules, and the trainers have done me the honour of adopting several suggestions which I made through your columns, especially in Rules III. and XI. In conclusion, let me ask you to lay the ques- tion before some competent authorities. If Admiral Rous would but express an opinion it woald, I am sure, be received as conclu- sive by all.— Yours, & c, T. S. H. June 2, 1863. INTELLIGENCE EXTRA. LIVERPOOL JULY MEETING, 1863.

For- merly the annua! gatherings were held at Thurlow, but it has been'oonaidered desirable to make Newmarket the place of meet- ting, and the members of the club will in future dine alternately at the Rutland Arms and White Hart Hotels in that town. The prospects of the hunt in respect to the coming season are con- sidered good. CRYSTAL PALACE.— Number of admissions for six days ending Saturday, J uno 6 ( including season ticket holders), 26,85- 5. THE HAMPTON COURT SALES. THE ROYAL YEARLINGS.— MR GREVILLE'S YEAR- LINGS. The actual result of these sales, that is to say, the price realised for each lot, appeared in our latest edition of last week, a record from which turfites inay have gathered that the business of the occasion was not so good as usual. The average, indeed, is the worst that theRoyal Stud has known for the last three or four sea- sons ; while Mr Greville's young things have seldom previously stopped at so low a figure. Not that there was by any means a scarcity of customers, prominent amongst whom were Lord Stam- ford and Mr Naylor bidding from opposition benches ; with the Duke of St Albans and Lord Hastings also in commission, and such able men as Mr Padwick, Mr Harry Hill, Mr Snewing' John Scotland John Day clustering round Mr Richard Tatter- sail's box, or telegraphing to him from the other side of the ring' Count Batthyany, Lord Westmoreland, Colonel Forester, Colonel Towneley, Sir " Walkin Wynn, Lord Chesterfield, Lord Fal- mouth, Sir Lydston Newman, Colonel Hugh Baillie, Colonel Cotton, Colonel Astley, Colonel and Mr Gerard Sturt, Captain Wombwell, Captain O'Shea, Captain Graj', Mr Ar- thur Heathcote, and Mr E. Rowlands were further dis- tinguishable amongst the crowd of lookers on out for a holiday; and William and Alfred Day, Nightingall, Arm- strong, Woolcott, Harlock, Hughes, Joseph Dawson, and H. Goater were either professionally engaged or open to a bargain on their own accounts. Mr Greville was of course present, but Colonel Maude, the manager of the Royal Stud, was confined to his room from a severe attack of quinsey. Although, despite the fineness of the day, the mere mob might not be so large, nor the run upon the luncheon quite so heavy, it will be seen from the names we have given that nearly all the best buyers at present in the mar- ket were to be found either in the spirit or the flesh, and the failing, if anywhere, was rather in the material offered totheir notice. The chief recommendation, in fact, of the Royals was the wonderful way in which they had been brought on by Ransom, and great size and full of flesh were their pretty general character- istics. Beyond these points the yearlings were as ordinary a sample as have been seen at Hampton Court for many a long day, with an especial lack of blood- like stamp about them, and even those that made long prices often depending more upon their high connections than any very great promise or appearance of their own. The sale opened tamely enough with three of Voltigeur's get, the second of which reached to three hundred. He is a colt of good substance and big bone, and certainly far away the best- looking of the trio, his immediate successor, out of Rosaline, being a great, coarse, heavy- necked, slack- loined, plain animal, from which it is quite a relief to turn to the first of the Orlandos, a very elegant extract from the Arrow, and, like most of the sort, bearing a very strong likeness to his sire. He was followed by a far more fa- shionably bred one, and on either side about the aristocrat in this way of anything on the catalogue, viz, by Orlando, out of Aya- canora, by Irish Birdcatcher— Pocahontas, by Glencoe. The colt himself is a bit of a peacock, with a fine flashy way of showing himself, but otherwise not remarkable, and hardly a cheap horse — saving when estimated by his pedigree— at close upon the four hundred Mr Naylor sent him up to. The next lot, No. 6, by Or- lando out of Lady Palmerston, was said to have been the best- looking one of them all, but he broke his leg after the catalogue was made out, and dead was now bracketed against his name in the list. Another chesnut consequently came up, and, as an own brother to Imaus, created some sensation, although, so far, as little like a race horse as one would care to see. With great depth and substance, standing on a short leg, and with good hocks and plenty of bone, this colt has a short, heavy neck, a bad- loaded shoulder, and a curious lack of anything like quality about him, being a coarse one ali over. Lord Stamford, however, would have him for his elder brother's sake, as his lordship also would have the other Nevvminster, with far more to recommend him, and no doubt the best- looking yearling of the sale. With a good head and fine neck, this horse has a deal of liberty, plenty of quality, and fair size, though a little narrow by comparison with his beefy half brother, but honestly worth all the hundred and odd more he made. There is, indeed, a certain racing- like promise about the Equation colt, that both John Scott and Woolcott were not slow to recognise, and the latter, more particularly, was very reluctant, to lose him; but Lord Stamford had already a taste of the family with Diophantus, and a thousand, most probably, would not now have been considered too much for " the other." A neat, but small and backward Cure colt, with good knees, but middling shoulders, rather bung fire at first, but when set fairly a going, made over three hundred, when at perhaps any other place in the kingdom he would not have realised half the money, though that good judge, Mr Hill, stood answerable for the outlay. The Rataplans are making no great sign this season, and the one here, with more quality, had the same faulty shoulders as his sire, and does not threaten much as a race norse. The sheer breeding of the colt by Stockwell must have gone far towards making his monkey, as he is simply a tall, upstanding, leggy colt, with a high rump, weak thighs, and light limbs; whereas the first of the Wild Dayrells is a very level, handsome colt, with fine shoulders, and though smallish, as nice a looking one as anything, and certainly a bargain at his price. Sundry signs and tokens of a splint went to spoil the sale of the other young Dayrell, very springy and active, but high on the leg, and in no ways to compare with his predecessor in the circle. The first of the fillies, a Stockwell, with a sweet head and brilliant eye, a blood- like neck, a compact frame, and good hocks and thighs, went cheap at under two hundred ; while the sister to Fitz- Roland was but a light and weedy one, though with some- thing to like about her ragged quarters; and the sister to Little Lady, a commonish filly, scarcely realising her high con- nections, but, as a matter of course, Lord Stamford se- cured her for his stud. The sister to Julie, again, was but a common coaching sort of filly, sadly lacking the fashion of Orlando ; but the Newminster, nearly related on the dam's side to Macaroni, Lady Melbourne's dam and Jocose being both out of Banter, should, with all her tine size and promise, have made more money, though finishing off but plainly behind. The Windhound filly, a mare of great growth and immense sub- stance, spoke clearly to her paternity, her companion being smaller, but far more racing like, and, as we fancy, Mr Rayner will find in every way the better bargain of the two. The belle of the ball, however, was declared to be an Orlando filly out of Braxey, by Moss Trooper, and going back to Queen Mary, the dam of Blink Bonny. A few judicious sentences from Mr Tat- tersall, in reference to another double Derby and Oaks, set Mr Padwick Mr " Saewirig, and Harlock at it, the hammer even- tually falling to the last- named at 540, for a varmint, ragged- look- ing, upstanding filly, with lots of liberty and growth about her, but not so especially remarkable for really grand appearance as the figure would seem to imply. The two other Orlandos, by no means deficient in style or action, went terribly cheap in compa- rison, at 80gs each ; but the next lot, at 90, was stilty and weedy, with very doubtful fetlocks, and the Gemma di Vergy more lengthy, shapely, and useful, to the eye, as most of them are. The other Gemma came unfortunately as the last lot, the tag also including a very neat serviceable filly by Voltigeur that made money, and a handsome likeness of that lucky horse Ellington. It will be gathered from our commentary that the Hampton Court sale of Sixty- three was noticeable for nothing very ex- traordinary ; and hence the position it takes in comparison with the last few years, as demonstrated in the following table of totals and averages since the re- establishment of the stud by Her Majesty: YEAR. 1851 1852 1853 1854 1855 1856 1857 LOTS. 3 ..

On ad- journing to the green, Mr Greville's lot, after that the eye had re- cently been dwelling on, seemed terribly small, though of a better quality than the Royals. Neat and blood- like were, indeed, their pretty general characteristics, but such a combination did not sell, and the average reached barely to a hundred for those that did find customers; a filly by Yellow Jack out of Little Queen, b}- Orlando, and another by Muscovite out of Eda, by Birdcateher, being sent back without a bid. The market prices pronounced the Oulston filly out of Barcelona to be the best of them, and she is certainly a fine, lengthy, growing mare, with geod bone, and all over very racing- like, her size alone fairly over- topping her companions. The Ethelberfc— clean, small, and neat- did not take much after that magnificent sire, but the brother to Crater was quite smart and flashy enough for his lineage ; and the sister to Fravola of high quality, with an especially sweet head and neck. So far as we could get a glimpse at the Prime Minister mare, she is clever enough, though a trifle short, to do credit to that still rising stallion; and the Alarm filly out of Contadina was as level as need be, the other specimen of the same horse's get being bigger and coarser, and on such a showing only making more money. The Raillery filly was small and smart, the Musjid colt but a moderate recommendation for a young stud horse, and the Fandango filly a terribly weedy one. The stud, in fact, was quite out of sorts, even when put in comparison with last year, when the elements fairly drove Mr Tattersall from his box.

JUNE 4.— This match was commenced at the Oval on Thursday, and it will be seen that Surrey has made a good start, but we are afraid, in consequence of the rain, which commenced on Friday at one o'clock, the, match may be drawn. The wickets were pretty good, but would, it appears, have been far superior if that of Street's preparation had been selected. The game was resumed at half- past four, but at six the rain again stopped play. The match was resumed on Saturday, but could not be finished on account of rain, and it was therefore drawn.

JUNE 4.— Mote Park never looked more beautiful, nor perhaps was its splendid cricket ground ever in better order. The play was commenced by Tarrant and Diver going in to the bowling of Willsher and Bennett. Diver was soon caught at point, and fol- lowed by Carpenter, who, with Tarrant, run up the score to 40, when Bakercame on at Bennett's end, and Tarrant soon afterplaced one in Mr W. S. Norton's hands at point. Carpenter was well bowled next over. Hayward and Mr J. Perkins retained their wickets till dinner time, but the former was caught at slip soon after, the score being 80 runs for four wickets. Newman and Mr J. Perkins rapidly increased the score. Baker changed ends, and Fryer bowled for a time, then Mr W. S. Norton, but Willsher had taken Baker's place before Newman's wicket fell ; his 26 consisted of four fours, a three, a two, & c, and the total 122 runs. Bell lost his off' stump, and the colt Smith was caught at slip. The Messrs Perkins played a merry game. Bennett had another tiy, but Willsher changed ends, and Baker came on again before they were separated, and then Mr H. was well bowled, having made three fours, two threes, three twos, & c. Eight wickets down. D. Hayward followed. Mr Kelson then bowled, and Goodhew took Mr Davidson's place as long- stop, where he caught D. Hayward. Cornwall had just time to make a beginning, when Mr J. Perkins's fine innings was brought to a close by Baker taking a sharp hit 011 the on side near the wicket. Mr Perkins made five fours, four threes, live twos, & c. The weather was admirable, and the company fashion- able and numerous, the band from the depot playing at intervals. For Kent, Fryer, who has entirely lost the sight of an eye, oc- casioned from an accident, faced Tarrant, but did not get through the first over, a sharp one, so the Messrs Norton came together, and made 24 before separating. Bennett, with Mr W. S. Norton, caused a change of bowling. Mr H. Perkins gave his wicket up to Tarrant, and Hayward went on at the other, and soon bowled Bennett ( third for 51). Mr W. 8. Norton and Willsher's wickets fell respectively for 58 and 64. Wenman and Mr Kelson followed. The latter lifted one of Tarrant's, and he took it, the total being then 70, and time being called Wenman had three to start with on Friday, when Mr Davison joined him, and by good hitting raised the score to 104; he was caught at long slip, and followed by Goodhew, Wenman continuing to play steadily, but at last hit to leg at a straight one, and his wicket, the eighth, fell for 115. Mr Biron was succeeded by Baker, who, after making a single, was caught at mid- off. Goodhew retired with a well- made 12. Kent followed their innings, Mr B. Norton and Good- hew going to the wicket, Tarrant and Hayward bowling. No run was made when Hayward, at the end of his second over, bowled Mr Norton. Fryer took his place, and with Goodhew in- creased the score to 21 when Mr H. Perkins, and to 30 when Bell came on. Fryer played steadily for his 15— second for 55. Bennett with 12, and Goodhew ( who was let off at slip from Hay- ward) having hit well for 48, were not out when the dinner- bell rang— total, 79. The weather was windy and cold, but, without much rain; the attendance was thinner than en the previous day. When the game was resumed the weather was still more unfavour- able, and after 10 runs only were added, the rain put a stop to the play for a time, and it was delayed frequently afterwards. On Saturday the game was resumed, and it will be seen that Kent won by 16 runs— a result not anticipated— owing principally to the bowling of Bennett.

MONDAY, JUNE 1.— Fine weather, good cricket, and good fel- lows ! What more can a cove want ? The gunners won the toss. The gallant sergeant whose name we so often see in R. A. matches was unfortunately run out when he was just getting his eye in, and Bombardier Fane fell a victim to a shooter ( tiis first ball). This in some measure accounts for the moderate sum total of R. A.' s first innings. The sailor headed the score of C. P., and brought out his bat for a well- earned 25. Lunch, and at it again. Captain Bazalgette ( a bad judge of a run, by the way) got his 28 steadily. When time was called four wickets of C. P. were down, and 16 runs to get to win, but R. A. kindly consented to play the match out, and thus left C. P. victorious by six wickets. Mr Pepy's innings was a masterly piece of cricket. Score : R. A.

PLAYERS v COLTS. This match was played at the Priory Park, Chichester, on Thursday, May 28. It was the opening of the season by the P. P. C. Time only permitted of a single innings, in which the Colts got the best of it. There are some very promising young players in the club. Ware made 49 in such good style that he was awarded a bat for the excellent defence of his wicket. Seve- ral other young- uns proved the advantage of a trainer like Gilbert to show them how to do it.

The fielding on both sides was very good. The bowling of Messrs Payne and Flower ( who bowled throughout for Beccles) was very effective, and although the scores were small ( being the commencement of the season), Messrs Dulley, Palmer, and Jer- rard batted well for their respective sides. Score : Norwich 57 and 53, Beccles 66 and 45 ( with seven wickets down). SURREY AND CAMBRIDGESHIRE.— This match is off, and as the Surrey Eleven had been engaged for the 15th June and fol- lowing days, a match has been arranged for them to play Four- teen of Hants.

They made an even start and rowed pretty level until they had gone a quarter of a mile, when Mr Lloyd putting on a spurt took the lead, Beren's party fouling Hammersmith Bridge badly. They came up on the leaders several times, however, and a very fine race occurred from Craven Cottage home, Lloyd's crew winning eventually by a length after being overlapped several times. CHANGE RINGING.— On Friday evening, May 22, eight members of the Ancient Society of College Youths rang at St Matthew's Church, Bethnal Green, a true peal of Kent treble bob majors, containing 5,088 changes, in 3h 15min, being the first peal of that method on the bells. Performers : H. W. Haley treble, W. Cooter 2, E. G. Langton 3, W. C. Middieton of Gravesend 4, R. Hopkins 5, G. Grice 6, J. Pettett 7, M. A. Wood tenor. Com- posed and conducted by H. W. Haley. WOOLWICH.— On Tuesday evening, June 2, the Woolwich Branch Society of College Youths rang on their bells a solemn muffled peal as a last tribute of respect to their old and much re- spected member, Mr J. Stichbury. who was interred at the ceme- tery at Norwood on that day, having attained the age of 73 years. On the 29th May seven of the Society cf Change Ringers of Hyde, assisted by Mr J. Johnson, of the parish church, Ashton- under- Lyne, ascended the tower of St George's Church, Hyde, and rang a true and complete peal of Kent treble bob majors, compris- ing 5,120 changes, in 3h lmin.

LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BELL'S LIFE OFFICE, Saturday Night, 12 o'clock. ROBBERY AT DRURY- LANE THEATRE. To- day, at Bow- street, Richard Hunter, who had been em- ployed as an attendant at Drury- lane Theatre, was charged with stealing a gentleman's coat, containing various articles valued at £ 8, which had been left by the owner for a few minutes on one of the stall seats during the performance. The coat had been pawned, and a cigar case in one of the pockets had been sold by the pri- soner to Thomas Pearce, clerk at an opera ticket office, for 4s 6d. The prisoner admitted the robbery, and was remanded for fur- ther examination. EXTENSIVE HOTEL ROBBERY- To- day, at Marlborough- street, Julius Lewy, a Prussian, was charged with stealing money and valuables to the amount of £ 260, the property of a Frenchman, named Victor Deothinis, at the Hotel Conte, Golden- square. The property was stolen during the night from the owner's room, and was found in the prisoner's room, he having left the hotel in the middle of the night, without paying his bill. A letter was found upon the prisoner, stating he had destroyed himself.— Rose, a Brighton pawnbroker, produced a watch and chain, pawned by the prisoner at his shop, which were identified by the prosecutor.— The prisoner was committed for trial. ROBBERY OF ONE THOUSAND POUNDS WORTH OF WATCHES AND JEWELLERY. To- day, at the Southwark police court, Louisa Gifford ( alias Orme) was charged, on further examination, with being con- nected with a man, not in custody, in stealing a leather bag containing watches and jewellery, worth nearly £ 1,000, from the North Kent Railway terminus, London Bridge, the property of Mr Solomon Reuben. The prosecutor, a traveller, on the 4th of May last, arrived at the London Bridge terminus, to commence a journey. He set his bag down while he went for a ticket, and on returning for the bag he missed it, and had never since been able to find it. He did 110c recollect having ever before seen the prisoner- Win. Bills, a police constable, apprehended the prisoner with a man named Gifford, 011 the 4th of May last., on a charge of having four sets of ear- rings in their possession, unlawfully obtained, but the charge could not be substantiated, and they were liberated. Two days afterwards he heard of this robbery of jewellery, and the ear- rings were identified by Mr Reuben as his property. He then went to where the prisoner resided, and found a box containing some of the stolen articles. The prisoner said the property be- longed to her husband, the man who was before taken up on sus- picion, though at that time they both denied any knowledge of each other. Evidence was then given that the prisoner had re- sided in lodgings with the man Giff'ord as his wife, that they had given a set of ear- rings to the landlady, and that the prisoner was not the wife of Gifford, but of a person named Orme, who lived at Bristol. A letter had been received from Orme, stating that she had left his house in company with Joseph Gifford, and had robbed him to a considerable extent; and that Gifford was a well- known thief, who had already suffered four years' penal servitude- — Mr Combe said it would be necessary to have better evidence as to the fact that the prisoner was not the wife of Gifford, and also as to the manner in which she was connected with the robbery- — She was then remanded to a future day. CRUELTY TO A HORSE- To- day, at Worship- street, Richard Asser, a master brickmaker at Hackney Wick, was summoned by the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals for allowing a horse belonging to him to be tortured. The poor animal was described as being in the very last stage of weakness, and covered with sores. It was being worked at a mill for grinding clay. The defendant took the blame upon himself, and declared that he had given orders for the horse to be worked.— Mr Cooke, having seen the poor animal, said that he had never witnessed a worse case of the kind, and ordered the owner to pay a fine of £ 3, or suffer two months' imprisonment, with the proviso that the fine should be reduced to 20s, or imprisonment for ten days, if the horse were slaughtered. ROBBERY ON A RAILWAY. To- day, at the Thames court, Andrew Adamson was charged with stealing a purse containing 3s and a check for £ 10, from the person of Mrs Abair, a lady residing in Hackney Wick, in a second- class carriage on the Blackwall Railway. She missed her purse upon landing at the Stepney station, and accused the prisoner, who was the only person near her when it was stolen- He denied the robbery, and said he was a respectable man from Glasgow.— A police- constable gave evidence of having seen the prisoner at a time when he said he was at Glasgow, coming out of a notorious house for thieves.— Committed to the sessions for trial- DISHONEST LIGHTERMAN. To- day, at the Thames police court, John Poole, lighterman, in the employ of Messrs Middlemiss and Harwood, was charged with stealing a bottle of sherry wine out of a case which he was entrusted to carry in a barge from the London Docks to a ship lying at Horselydown. He was found fast asleep on board the barge, and a bottle of sherry close to his head. One of the cases 011 board had been opened, and a bottle extracted from it.— 111 defence, he said he fell asleep from fatigue, and some one else must have taken the wine.— Fined 20s, or 10 days' imprisonment. DEATH: CAUSED] BY A CHAFF- CUTTING MACHINE- To- day, Dr Lankester held Jan inquest at the Bank of Eng- land Tavern, on the body of John Robinson, aged 25 years, who lost his life from the effects of a desperate wound caused by a large chaff cutting machine. The deceased was in front of the machine clearing away the cut hay, when in stooping down the knives of the wheel descended 011 his back and inflicted a fearful wound, from which he died.— The coroner said he had lately heard of many accidents caused by these machines. He had held an inquest on a poor man whose fingers were pulled along with the hay and they were sliced off, and the arm was drawn along until it was all shaved off in slices up to the elbow. It would be very desirable if some sort of guard could be aflixed to these instru- ments. Verdict— Accidental Death. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT- The June session of this court will commence to- morrow ( Mon- day). There are 105 prisoners ( 86 males and 19 females). There is only one charge of murder, but there are several cases of a very serious character coming 011 for trial. The judges will be Lord Chief Justice Erie, Mr Justice Crompton, and MrBaron Bramwell. CHESS. SOLUTIONS OF PROBLEMS. SOLUTION OF No. 403. 1. Kt Kt 4 K Q B 4 2. Kt K 5 K moves 3.

Mark the first blow ARCHERY CRYSTAL PALACE.— The great meeting of the archers of the United Kingdom is arranged to take place this year in the grounds of the Crystal Palace. Charles M. Caldecott, Esq, high sheriff of the county of Warwick, has kindly consented to preside as judge on the occasion. Thechampion, ex- champion, and most of the principal toxophilites of England, both ladies and gentle- men, have entered the lists to compete. Bands of music will per form in the grounds during the two days' contest, next Thursday and Friday, and the great fountains will be displayed on the former day. The grounds are in beautiful order; thousands of rhododendrons are in full bloom, and the bedding out of summer plants is completed. LOUTH.— At the first meeting for the season, held on Tuesday, June 2, the first ladies' prize was secured by Miss L. Hodgkin- son; Miss Waite took the second prize, and Miss Goulton the prize for the best gold. The first gentlemen's prize went to Mr H. Alington, the second to Mr G. Hodgkinson; and the prize for the best gold made by gentlemen to the Rev A. Alington. QUOITS.— WALKENSHAW AND WHITTAKER.— For this match we have received a further sum of £ 10 a side, and a similar de- posit is to be sent June 14. Whittaker is to receive £ 10 expenses and one- third gate money for the game to be played at Mr Peter M'Gaw's, Glasgow. DOMINOES-— J- Wass has forwarded £ 2 to make the match to play T. Bishop ( the blind player), for £ 15 a side, with six domi- noes, and will forward articles to Mr Brettle's, White Lion, Digbeth. _____________ Capt W. H. Patten Saunders has sold the female of his two lion dogs, described in BelPs Life in December last, for £ 250, to go to Austria. He retains the male, who is growing into a very fine animal. ASSAULTS ON PREGNANT WOMEN.— A man named Arthur Robert Wade, adjutant of the 3d Surrey Administrative Battalion of Volunteers, and a captain in the army, who had at previous ex- aminations given the name of James Smith, was on Friday com- mitted for trial from Bow- street police court for no less than six indecent assaults upon pregnant women, whom he had induced to accompany him to houses of ill- fame, under the pretence that he was a medical man, and that he was about to procure them situa- tions as wet nurses to ladies of title. There had been other charges of a similar character against the prisoner on previous occasions, which he had settled. Bail was refused, CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS- There is rather more inquiry for money during the last few days, in consequence of the monthly liquidation of commercial accounts, the settlement at the Stock Exchange, the revenue pay- ments usual at this period, and the subscriptions towards a variety of joint stock companies lately introduced. The de- mand for accommodation having been thus stimulated, bankers have required full quotations for all the business they have transacted, and the consequence has been an in- crease in the applications at the Bank of England. The Gazette return, published yesterday, showed an augmentation of £ 976,854 in the other securities, and one other feature that has attracted attention was a further diminution in the stock of bul- lion, though not to an important extent. Silver is required in large quantities for transmission to the East, but the continental demand for gold has diminished, and it is now thought that the stock of bullion will attain a higher figure. Trade throughout the country continues healthy, and a steady expansion of business is apparent. At the Stock Exchange speculation has been slightly curbed, but the English F inds have continued exceedingly firm. Consols closed yesterday afternoon at 92 5 for money and the 9th inst. The dealings in the Foreign Stock Market during the week have been of a less animated character, and several of the prin- cipal securities have shown a downward movement in prices. Greek Bonds have declined about 1 per cent, Spanish Passive Bonds 1 per cent, and Mexican Stock lj per cent. Turkish Bo- ./ ls have also been flat, the Loan of 1858 has receded 5, the Loa " f 1862 1, and the Consolides | per cent. In the Railway Share Market business continued dull, and, notwithstanding the favourable traffic receipts, prices generally have shown a downward movement. London, Chatham, and Dover, however, owing to a few speculative purchases, have im- proved about 4 per cent. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings were without any material variation. Joint Stock Bank and Mis- cellaneous Shares were dealt in to a fair extent, and slightly en- hanced prices were in some instances realised. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY— RAILROAD SPEED.— Lord BROUGHAM inquired whether the Government intended to bring in any measure to diminish the speed of railway trains. He had himself suggested at the Liverpool Congress of the Social Science Association that the speed of trains should be limited by law to 2- 5 miles per hour, but had been opposed by several eminent engineers. The late dreadful accident on the Brighton line near Streatham had, he believed, occurred from the needless velocity at which the train was driven.— Earl GRANVILLE said that the Government did not intend to interfere by legislation on the subject.— The Earl of HARDWICXE said that accidents on railways were to be attributed not so much to the speed of the trains as originally arranged, but to the increased speed at which the engines were driven in order to make up for delays caused by defective administration. THE BURIAL SERVICE.— Lord EBURY moved an address to the Crown praying for the appointment of a commission to con- sider what steps should be taken to obviate the evils complained of arising from the present compulsory and indiscriminate use of the burial service of the Church of England. The noble lord stated that clergymen were now compelled to read the burial service in all cases under a penalty; and that, although the body about to be interred might be that of a notorious drunkard or pro- fessed unbeliever, and the clergyman might have conscientious scruples as to reading certain passages of the service, he had no alternative but to comply. Under these circumstances he was of opinion that the subject was one well worthy the attention of a royal commission.— The motion was opposed by the archbishops and bishops, and was ultimately withdrawn. TUESDAY-— Certain bills were forwarded, but nothing of gene- ral interest took place. THURSDAY,— Beyond the forwarding of one or two unim- portant measures, nothing was done, the house adjourning very early. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY— THE EXHIBITION BUILDING.- In reply to a question from Lord J. Manners, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE- QUER said that an arrangement had been come to ( subject to the ap- proval of Parliament) tor the purchase of the interest of the Com- missioners of the Exhibition of 1851 in the site of the present buildir> g for £ 120,0OU, and for the purchase of the building itself ( less the annexes) for £ 80,000. ENLISTMENTS BY THK FEDERALS IN IRELAND.— In answer to a question from Mr Hopwood, Sir R. PEEL said there was reason to believe that a great many young men in Ireland had been induced by their friends in the Federal States, at the instance of the Federal Government, to take passage for America, with the intention of enlisting in the army. The Government of Her Majesty were making inquiries, and would do all in their power to put an end to the practice. THE PATRIOTIC FUND.— Mr JOHN ABEL SMITH called the attention of the Under Secretary for War and of the house to the report of the Patriotic Fund, and the causes of the resigna- tion of the majority of the members of the ladies' com- mittee of the Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum; also to the cir- cumstance that one girl had been burned to death while under- going a sentence of solitary confinement, that another of 16 had been flogged in the establishment, and that the act had been con- doned by the executive committee.— The Marquis of HARTINGTON having, 011 the part of the War Office, repudiated all control over the institution in question, Sir J. PAKINGTON ( one of the royal commissioners and a member of the executive committee of the " Asylum'') ottered some explanations, in the course of which he said that the majority of the ladies' committee had resigned be- cause the executive committee had refused to dismiss the lady superintendent and the chaplain. A resolution was, however, passed by the committee to the effect that they disapproved and regretted the conduct of the lady superintendent and the chap- lain. They also disapproved the whipping of the girl, and had taken steps to prevent the recurrence of such a punishment. PUBLIC WORKS AND PARKS.— In committee of supply the principal question discussed had reference to the royal parks, and various suggestions were made with a view to their more econo- mical management. The " fountains" in Trafalgar- square were also brought under review, and Mr Briscoe suggested that in order to prevent their continuing to be objeets of public derision, the squirts should be done away with, and the basins be tilled up with earth and planted with azaleas and rhododendrons. It was like- wise incidentally mentioned that a sum of upwards of £ t5,000 was about to be expended 011 stables for the Speaker, but that they were at such a distance from the right lion, gentleman's official residence that a further sum of £ 80 would be required for an electric telegraph to communicate with them. With regard to the paintings in the Queen's robing room at the House of Lords.— Mr GREGORY complained of the delay which had taken place in com- pleting the works undertaken by Messrs Herbert and Dyce, to whom considerable sums of money had already been paid.— Mr COWPER explained that the works in question were necessarily of a slow and tedious character, but that the artists had assured him that they were making steady progress with them. The house adjourned at twenty minutes before two. TUESDAY.— MAYNOOTH.— Mr WHALLEY took up the May- nooth question vice Mr Spooner ( resigned), and was defeated by 198 to 100. SEA FISHERIES.— Mr FENWICK moved an address to Her Majesty to issue a Royal Commission of Inquiry into our sea fisheries, with a view of increasing the supply of a favourite and nutritious article of food for the benefit of the public. After stating the almost incredible numbers of fish consumed in England, and the enormous amount of the capital embarked in the trade, he observed that it was generally acknowledged that the fisheries were falling off year by year, and that unless some- thing were done to arrest this progressive diminution the result would be serious. He then pointed out the causes of this reduc- tion in the produce of the fisheries— namely, the waste and de- struction of the spawn, the taking of fry and small fish, and the mode of fishing, the causes being similar to those which had de- stroyed the saiinon fisheries. He read various communications and reports in confirmation of his statements, and instanced the success that had attended the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry into the salmon fishery.— The motion was seconded by Mr CAVE, who noticed how hardly the law pressed upon our deep sea oyster dredgers.— The motion was carried. WEDNESDAY— THE PUBLIC- HOUSES BILL.- Mr SOMES and Mr PEASE attempted to procure a second reading of the un- constitutional bill for preventing working men from drinking beer on a Sunday, but, being opposed by the Government and inde- pendent members, were defeated, amidst loud cheers, by a ma- jority of 278 to 103. This was sufficient work for a Wednesday afternoon, so the house shortly afterwards adjourned. THURSDAY— THE VOLUNTEERS.— On the order for going into committee upon the Volunteers Bill, Mr BAGWELL moved a resolution, *' That it is impolitic any longer to exclude Ireland from the operation of the volunteer system, and unjust, should such exclusion continue, to tax Ireland for the support of English volunteers." He complained of the invidious distinction created by this exclusion, and observed that, as long as a difference was made between Ireland and other parts of the kingdom, Ireland would continue to be a source of weakness and uneasiness to the Government.— Major KNOX expressed surprise that Mr Bagwell, who had been a member of the Government, should have brought forward such a motion, which, in his opinion, was only for an electioneering purpose. He did not think the proposal a safe one, and, as an Irish member, he should oppose the motion.— Sir DE LACY EVANS, who said he had heard the speech of Major Knox with surprise and regret, spoke in support of the motion.— The Marquis of HARTINGTON said it was not through any want of confidence in the loyalty of the people that the volunteer system was not extended to Ireland, but, as had been stated by Lord Palmerston on a former occasion, owing to unfortunate religious animosities in some parts of the country, it was much to be ap- prehended that if volunteer corps were formed in Ireland they would assume a religious character and 3erious collisions might occur.— After some remarks from Colonel FRENCH, Lord PALMER- STON said the Government had no doubt that the Irish were in the main very loyal subjects. He was persuaded that they were as loyal as any nation could be expected to be, and that, if an occasion should arise to call upon the Irish to arm in defence of the country, they would manifest their loyalty. But in Ireland re- ligious opinions had a tendency to call into operation the national quality of pugnacity, which was exuberant, and which the Government wished to reserve for a common enemy, and not to tempt the Irish, in order to keep their hands in, to exercise it upon each other. That was really the whole of the matter.— After some observations by Mr MAGUIRE and Sir G. BOWYER, in support of the motion, the house divided, when the resolution was negatived by 156 to 45. The house then went into committee on the bill.— The 19th clause, which applied the provisions as to actual military service to volunteers acting in the suppression of riots or tumults, was withdrawn.— The 21st clause, providing for the discipline of volunteers while not in actual military service, was the subject of a debate of much interest to volunteers. The clause authorised the commanding officer of a volunteer corps to discharge from the corps any volunteer, and strike him out of the muster roll for sufficient cause, " the existence and sufficiency of which to be judged of by the commanding officer."— Sir R. CLIFTON moved to omit all the words after " cause," and insert " such causes to be committed to writing, and communicated to the accused by the adjutant, and the existence and sufficiency of such causes to be judged of by a court to be summoned by the commanding officer, and to consist of one captain, two subaltern officers, and two non- commissioned officers or privates of the same corps.''— Upon a division, the amendment was negatived by 108 to 21.— The remaining clauses were agreed to with sundry amendments, after a very long discussion. The house then went into committee on the Civil Service Esti- mates, when many votes were agreed to, and the house adjourned FRIDAY.— There was no business in either house of sufficient importance to call for a report. THE HOUND SHOW AT THE AGRICULTURAL w> LL. TO THE EDITOR OE BELL'S LIEE IN LONDON. SIR : Allow me space for a few words of explanation and infor- mation in reference to your able and suggestive article on our show. You truly observe that the promised " public judging of the foxhounds ended in a most unmitigated bit of farce. . . . This public judging took place in a small confined pen." The pen in question astonished and annoyed no one more than myself when, three days before the show opened, I got up one morning and found the judging stone surrounded by wired kennels. Our able and industrious clerk of the works whose arrangements have in other respects been generally approved, in this instance, being much pressed for room, made a mistake which it was too late to mend. I did all I could. I struck the public judging out of the advertisements, and offered to keep a space clear with wire- rope and police, but Captain Anstruther Thomson rightly, perhaps, considered that the public were on that day too much excited by the royal visit to attend to the public judging. I am glad to say that from the Duke of Beaufort and other noblemen and gentle- men I have received promises of entries for the hound show next year. All the huntsmen, and I had quite a grand council of them on Wednesday, gave us their good words, and the three eminent foxhound judges have consented to act again. An endeavour will be made, profiting by experience, to diminish the numbers and improve the quality of the show of 1864.— Yours, & c, THE BECRETARY OF THE AGRICULTURAL HALL COMPANY.
