The Committee are of the opinion, that a more favourable period could not have been fixed upon, than dnring the International Agricultural Exhibition at Hamburg, for holding a large show of Dogs of all breeds and of all countries. Being the first attempt of the kind in Germany, its novelty will undoubtedly attract a large number of the strangers who are expected to visit Hamburg, and the liberal prizes, together with the opportunity offered for taking the first honours or making salos, will, it is hoped, induce a large number of exhibitors to make their entries from Great Britain and other countries. Applications respecting entries, ana other matters, from Germany and foreign countries, must be addressed, in conformity with the printed regulations, " To the Secretary, Dr Ph. Hirsch, Hamburg." All applications must be made upon the forms prescribed, which may be obtained from the Secretary, and be returned on or before the 5th J uly, 1863. After that day no application will be received. All prizes are open to general competition. CAUTION : Last day of entry, the 5th July, 1863. Exhibitors are requested to pay due attention to the printed rules and regulations. REGULATIONS. 1. Only thorough or pure bred dogs will be admitted. Mongrels are excluded. 2. The necessary forms can be procured from the secretary, Dr Ph. Hirsch. 3.

For each dog an entrance fee of 1 thaler ( equal to 3s) will be charged. 5.

THE MARKETS CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE.- FRIDAT. The provincial markets held this week have, with some few excep- tions, been more liberally supplied with English Wheat. The attend- ance of buyers has very generally been limited, which, coupled with the favourable harvest prospects, has a tendency to depress the trade, and give to prices a downward appearance. The Barley trade has ex- hibited no appearance of improvement over last week, but prices have kept up. The supply of Oats have been on the increase at many of the markers, and prices have not been generally maintaine'l. Beans and Peas have been fully as dear, but Flour has been difficult to sell at for- mer rates. The arrivals of home- grown Wheat at Mark- lane have been | in excess of last week, but of other grain not so good. Of foreign pro- duce the imparts have been lighter, with the exception of American barrelled Flour, which has been important. Buyers not being very I numerous to- day, the W eat trace was in a sluggish state, and, to force - -. itber lower prices than those of Monday wouid have to be taken. Tbe < nr tm to wai dull, and prices nominal. The demand for Barley was limited, without change in prices. Oats showed a iowering ten- dency. Beans an 1 Peas were not so much inquired for, at full prices.— Easex.

The suitors in the Court of Queen's Bench have had two days of the time which properly belonged to them wasted in a discussion whether Lord Cardigan was entitled to ask for a criminal in- formation against Colonel Calthorpe. Wasted these days were be- cause, from the beginning, it was clear that the rules of law did not permit the issuing of a criminal information. If the publica- tion of the colonel was a libel, that libel had been published in 1856, and it has always been a settled rule of law that any one who seeks the extraordinary interposition of the court in such a matter must come at once. If he does not come at once the ordinary forms of law must be followed; he may proceed by in- dictment, or action, or both. The very principle on which the practice of granting criminal informations was founded was this: — that the libel was one which was calculated to produce public injury, though the libel itself did not attack the Government, but an individual, and that the ordinary forms of law were too slow to insure the prevention of that injury; therefore the extraordi- nary powers of the court were asked to intervene. Of late years a possible public injury has not been the only ground on which a criminal information lias been granted, but an individual, in respect of a purely individual libel, lias sometimes been allowed to obtain a criminal information. This itself was a relaxation of the old and sound rule, but even in this the necessity of an early application has always been treated as undoubted. Here was a book published in 1856, and the application is made in 1863. Unless the whole course of previous decisions was overthrown there was no pretence to ask for this extraordinary employ- ment of the powers of the court. And though the de- fendant and his counsel thought fit to treat this as a tech- nical objection in order to show on what high ground they claimed to stand, it did not, and does not, in truth, deserve that character. It is a substantial and honest objection to such an application that the making of it has been long delayed. If the object is the attainment of truth, the discussion should be brought on at the earliest moment, that all the living testimony should be secured. If that is not the object, this mode of raising the dis- cussion ought to be refused. Here the best witnesses were dead, and had died since the publication of the alleged libel, and since the time when its truthfulness might have been brought into dis- cussion. More than the six years which the Statute of Limitations has treated as a bar to enforcing civil demands or contracts, ( complaints of wrongs are restricted to even a shorter period) had passed before this demand for the prero- gative intervention of the court was applied for. Every legal and every honest principle required that the rule should be discharged, and it has been discharged. This was its just fate on the ground of delay. It was also its just fate on the ground that jLord Cardigan had taken into his own hands what the defendant's csunsel mildly called the means of redress, but which third per- sons, with much more justice, may be apt to describe as the means of unsparing vengeance. The letters to the Duke of Cambridge aM Lord Carlisle, written by Lord Cardigan, to procure Col Cal- thorpe's dismissal from the staff of the Lord Lieutenant, will be no recommendation of Lord Cardigan in the mind of any honourable man. As to the merits of the case itself, let them be judged of by every individual in the country after his own fashion. The object with which Colonel Calthorpe's book was published is well remem- bered. That object was the vindication of Lord Baglan, and nothing else. Considering the relationship of the parties, this might be a " pious purpose." It is odd that after the lapse of seven years it should be assailed as a libel upon one of Lord Raglan's subordinates. SIGNING THE " ARTICLES." Mr Buxton has proposed a resolution, suggesting, in the mos1 vague and general terms, a relaxation of the rules as to clergy- men of the Church of England signing the articles. The vague" ness of this proposal was probably occasioned by a fear of seeming to try to dictate the form of the alteration, but it was for that very reason objectionable. No one could tell what it meant, how far it would go, or at what poor distance it would stop. Considering the objection which thus in principle existed to it, the wonder is that it had any supporters at all. It had, however, a good many, and the debate was more than commonly interesting. No one spoke in an offensive style of bigotry, and every one seemed to have some good object in view. The debate was creditable to the House of Commons, but still more creditable to the country, in which a debate of this kind, conducted in a different spirit, would not have been received with approval by the country. On the whole, it is clear that the Church stands in a better position than it did some years ago— that it is less dominating, and, therefore, less provocative of resistance— and that if all its ministers acted as if they were really ministers of " a reformed Church" it would be much more popular than it is. The Puseyitic tendencies of some of its ministers offend and alienate thousands, who would otherwise be its supporters. We entire]}' agree with Sir George Bowyer, who, like an avowed Boman Catholic, scorns this vulgar imitation of his Church, this " High Life Below Stairs" mockery of what he deems to be great and sacred; and we say, with hiin, that such formalistic double dealers should be ejected from the Church, which they adhere to only for the purpose of betraying it. As to the signature of the articles, it is clear that when any society sets itself up as professing particular doctrines, it must re- quire from those who profess to be the teachers it employs a de- claration that they believe and will teach the doctrines it pro- fesses. It is no tyranny to require this; in fact, it is the most ordinary practice of a piece of business- like conduct. The absence of such a rule would be a folly. Men often blunder in reasoning upon religious matters, because they will reason as if a transcen- dental style of argumentation was alone applicable to them. They are wrong in this. Beligion itself may be ( we do not say it is) unfit to be argued upon by the means of ordinary rules of reasoning, but the mode of enforcing the doctrines of religion is a pure human matter, and must be best decided upon by the adop- tion of the rules of pure human reasoning. Using them, it is clear that the representatives of a particular body should be the declared adherents of the opinions of that body, and if those opinions are reduced into form, subscription to them by those who are ap- pointed to represent the body is proper, and indeed, for all honest purposes, absolutely necessary. If the doctrines of the general body are wrong, try to correct them in the body itself, but do not pretend to represent that body, and yet contradict what it asserts to be its principles. To give instances ( some of our readers may think them perhaps derogatory instances), let us suppose a hearty friend of free elections affecting to represent the French Government, or a sincere lover of parliamentary liberty claiming to reflect the thoughts and wishes of the King of Prussia ; or a man of kind sympathies and of humane feelings setting himself as the eidolon of the Czar. The incongruity would be too great to be borne. You must not have realities and their presentments so cont radictory. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. We are so quiet and comfortable in this country that we hardly imagine the sufferings and excitement of some nations not far from us. Tet Poland is bleeding at every pore. Prussia is in a state of painful anxiety. Denmark is disquieted, and France is aroused. Of Poland it is impossible to speak without a shudder. Destruction stalks abroad there without control and without check. The Bussian officers practise all kinds of ferocity, and punish by murders and conflagrations quiet men and helpless women and children for the acts of those who may have resided in the same district, or, perhaps, in the same village, but over whom they have no control. And diplomacy, in gentle, if not complimentary phrases, affects to stay the butchery, which is all the more indulged in since there is no dread of retaliation or punishment. Denmark has yielded a King to Greece, and the Danish King, in taking leave of his young kinsman, has given him a lesson of wis- dom, and has read a sharp though short lecture to the would- be despot of Prussia. It is now clear that one great object of the Prussian monarch is to establish his own absolute authority at home by the means of pretending an anxiety for " German Unity.'' Under that deceptive pretence he hopes to be able to maintain the army without the consent— nay, against the wishes— of the Prussian Chambers. " Religion, freedom, vengeance, what you will ; A word's enough to rouse mankind to bill"— said the poet, and the King relies on the saying. If he can but get the Prussian blood into a state of delirium on the Schleswig Holstein question, he thinks he shall adroitly obtain a pre- tence for keeping up the army without the consent of the Commons to the taxes necessary for its support. In that way he can win two victories at once; the first over an independent nation abroad, the second over a patriotic chamber at home. It may be, however, that the Prussians are not, so besotted as he believes, and thus both his schemes may fail at once. All good men will wish them to do so. Considering how the Prussians are treated— how the Constitution is violated— how the national representatives are insulted— how the nation itself is scorned and defied, it will give the whole world nothing but an unmeasured feeling of contempt for the Holsteiners if they do anything to throw off the Liberal Government of Denmark in order to place themselves uuder the despotic rule of the des- potically governed German States. As to France little is to be said. Yet no one can doubt that the folly and violence has precipitated events, and that the long dormant spirit of freedom of a Minister, has been roused into bestirring itself. There can be but one wish in this country— namely, that the result maybe productive of happiness to France. But there may be serious' troubles before that good result is at- tained. INAUGURATION OF THE PRINCE CONSORT MEMORIAL. On Wednesday the public ceremony of uncovering the comme- morative memorial, erected not less as a perpetual record of the Great Exhibition than as a tribute to the Prince Consort, to whose untiring exertions its vast success was due, was celebrated at South Kensington with every circumstance of stately pomp and royal ceremony. The whole fete was well planned " in its broad features, well arranged in its minute details, and passed off with all the success which usually attends the public exercise of the functions of royalty in this country. It is scarcely necessary to add, however, that more interest attached to the visit and appear- ance of the young Prince and Princess of Wales than to tlie mere uncovering of the memorial, with the general aspect of which nearly all the visitors were familiar, and most of whom had seen it uncovered in the gardens during the last few days. It was the visit of royalty, and the distinguished and magnificent assemblage by which it was accompanied, that formed the great attraction, and seats which commanded a good view of the memoria l were of little account compared with those close to where the royal family must pass in their long route around the gardens. Every possible precaution had been taken to gratify this loyal wish to the ut- most, and the whole line of procession from under the west dome of the Exhibition, through both the length and breadt h of the Hor- ticultural Gardens, was marked out by double rows of seats, giving sitting accommodation to more than 10,000 visitors. Before the arrival of the royal party there were about 15,000 persons in the gardens, and the numbers would probably have been much greater had a less extortionate admission fee than 30s been exacted from visitors who had not purchased their tickets before the day. In the face of this high charge for admission it was impossible to avoid remembering that the very gardens themselves were pur- chased out of the surplus shillings of visitors in 1851, or that the memorial which the trustees have contrived to secure was subscribed for publicly on the understanding that it should be erected on the site of the Exhibition in Hyde Park. Precisely at four o'clock the Prince and Princess of Wales and the younger branches of the royal family arrived, and having taken the seats appointed for them, the Duke of Buccleuch, at the head of the council of the Horticultural Society, approached the Prince of Wales and presented an address, which, like reports at railway meetings, was " taken as read.'' It contained congratulations to his royal highness on his marriage, an expression of profound grief at the loss which the society had sustained in the death of the Prince Consort, and assurances of gratitude for the interest which Her Majesty and the other members of tlie royal family had manifested in the institution. Another address was then read by Mr Godwin, hon secretary of the Executive Department of the Memorial Committee, giving details in connection with the me- morial. To this address, the reading of which was interrupted by repeated applause, the Prince of Wales returned the following answer:— " GENTLEMEN: I have listened with an interest, which I am sure will be shared by all present, to the details which you have given in connection with the memorial to my lamented and re- vered father which we are assembled this day to inaugurate. As a son I cannot but be deeply affected by that part of your address in which you have referred to the beloved parent whose aid and counsel were never wanting when work was to be done, or when difficulties were to be overcome [ cheers]. I am confident that our proceedings in commemorating so proud a year in England's annais would have met with his approval, and I am sustained in the part which, in obedience to the Queen's commands, I have undertaken by the conviction and grateful sense that the sym- pathy of the entire nation accompanies me. I have now the plea sure of directing that the memorial— of which the artist may well be proud— be now uncovered [ cheers]." The last words with which his royal highness concluded were scarcely audible beyond the splendid circle which were assembled round him in the balcony, but, as if intuitively, the whole assem- blage turned towards the covered monument, from which neatly and quickly, as the boom of the first gun sounded, the covering was instantaneously withdrawn, showing a memorial of which, as the prince truly said, the artist might well be proud. It is entirely constructed of red and grey granite, as far as relates to the artist's design. The under base of Portland stone does not belong to the memorial proper, and would have been better if in unison with the granite work, and the arches, keyed with un- meaning masks, materially detract from the composition. It is, we believe, the first public monument in which both red and grey granite, accompanied with bronze work, has been combined, at least in this country, and is in other respects new in its architectural features," The bronze statues have been produced by means of electro - deposition, which in this instance gives decided evidence of its importance in rendering the correct handling of the artist, as well as preserving the exact size of the original models, which could not be the case where the old method of casting is used. The form of the memorial is that of a temple., with pro- jecting bases at four equal distances, ef sufficient size to carry seated figures of 8ft high. The entire height of the memorial, exclusive of the under work with arches, is 42ft; the width across the angles of the granite, 18ft. The entablature is broken to cor- respond with the projections of the base. The four seated bronze statues represent the quarters of the world in an allegorical man- ner, but divested of the old conventional type. Beneath, and in front of each statute, there is a bronze medallion inserted in the granite base, the four medallions being enlarged copies from the prize medals awarded to successful exhibitors of 1851. Behind each of these statues arise two pilastres and two pillars of the Corinthian order, from stylobates placed above the heads of the statues. The capitals and bases of the columns are of bronze, the shafts of polished red granite, the effect of which is very good as an architectural decoration. Polished red granite is also intro- duced with equal effect in the crescent side panels of the base, and upon the circular side panels of the body of the temple. Upon the four latter panels there are inscribed in gilded incised lettering the principal features and facts relating to the first International Ex- hibition, including a record of all those who were actually en- gaged in any responsible position connected with the manage- ment of that national event, commencing with the Royal Presi- dent of the Commission, the late Prince, whose statue in bronze surmounts the memorial. It is 10ft high, and in the mantle and with the insignia of the Master of the Order of the Bath— the Queen, as sovereign, being head of every other illustrious order. The statue of the Queen, as personifying " Peace," was in tended originally to have been the crowning figure, but has been exchanged for that of the Prince by express desire of Her Majesty. After the uncovering of the memorial the royal party walked round it and examined every portion of it. They then left the ground amidst the hearty cheers of the spectators. The memo- rial was visited by Her Majesty and the two young princesses on Monday morning, June 8, and they afterwards paid a visit to the Prince and Princess of Wales. BANQUET AT MEKCHANT TAYLORS' TO THE PBINCE OP WALES. — Thursday being the feast of St Barnabas the Master and Wardens of the Merchant Taylors' Company gave their accus- tomed banquet in their ancient and commodious hall, Thread- needle- street. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales having graciously intimated his intention to take up the honorary freedom of the company on this occasion, a most distinguished assemblage of noblemen and gentlemen were invited to meet him ; and, as befitted the auspicious occasion of his royal highness's first dinner in the City, the resources of a princely hospitality were displayed in producing aa eaterteiameat <? f surpassing magnificence, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The elections are very embarrassing for the Government, but M Persigny has not retired or been dismissed. An official an- nouncement says that steps have been taken to secure the supply of provisions and munitions to the troops in Mexico. Upon April 19th the army was furnished with supplies for fifty days: therenewal of the supplies was easily effected. Independentiyof the monthly transports from St Nazaire, the Minister of Marine has organised a ship service, leaving Cherbourg or Toulon on the 23d of every month, carrying out supplies and bringing back the sick. Four vessels, three transports, and two frigates, have received orders to prepare for departure to Vera Cruz, with troops and materials of war. A letter from a person in high standing in Vera Cruz to one of the same category in Paris, says:—^" The French have been obliged to raise the siege and to retreat nine miles. I understand they will go into quarters at Orizaba, and await reinforcements and heavy guns from France." On the other hand the French news from New York, dated June 1, de- clares that Puebla is taken, and that Comonfort has surrendered unconditionally. ITALY. The political trials are at an end. The unfortunate persons ac- cused of conspiring against the Pontifical Government have been found guilty by the Tribunal of the Consulta. The sentence has not yet been made public, but it is known that the Chevalier Fausti, with Gulmanelli and Venanzi, has been condemned to twenty years' imprisonment; De Martino aud Mastriali to ten years, and Barberi, Calza, Ferri, De Mauro, and Catafit to five years at the galleys. These sentences are based upon articles 96 and 97 of the Criminal Code. The defence of Fausti was destroyed by the production of a letter addressed by Fausti to General Goyon, commander of the French army in Rome, requesting, in the name of the National Committee, the general's permission to make a manifestation upon the Corso during the carnival. Count de Goyon had returned this letter to M Fausti, with a remark in the margin that he would permit the manifestation up to a certain hour, but after that time the French soldiers would clear the streets. The letter was found by the police during their search at Venanzi's house. It was not published by the Court among the documents bearing upon the case, in order not to compromise General de Goyon ; but the tribunal is in possession of documents, also found at M Venanzi's, which prove thatthe Due deGramont, the Marquis de Lavalette, the French Ambassador, and General de Goyon are perfectly acquainted with all the proceedings of the Roman Committee, and had approved many of its acts hostile to the Pontifical Government. DENMARK. The King has consented to the young prince ( the brother of the Princess of Wales) accepting the crown of Greece. In his farewell address and monition to the young man he dwelt with great force, and even eloquence, on the wisdom of a king ( wisdom tor his own safety as well as the happiness of people) in making himself beloved by his subjects by strictly and honourably keeping to the letter of the national constitution. Good advice this to the young king, and at the same time a bitter sarcasm on that obstinate old despot who in Prussia violates his oath and the constitution, and invites the Danes to resist his bullying by showing them how tyrannical lie is in his own dominions, and how merciless he would, there- fore, be in his triumph over them. POLAND. Five thousand of the Imperial Guard have been despatched from St Petersburg to Lithuania. A frightful accident happened to a train conveying a portion of the troops, caused by the railway giving way; 300 soldiers were killed. Koziello, the leader of a band of insurgents, fell at Wladyki. His fall is a romance— it re- news Thermopylae. He was at the head of a band which had in- flicted many losses on the Russians. They determined to destroy him. They conducted their measures with great skill as well as perseverance. They advanced against him on all sides, every de- tachment approaching him being superior in numbers to his own. He punished one or two of them severely, but they kept closing on him, and he saw that the destruction of his detachment was imminent. In this terrible state of things he resolved to sacrifice himself to save his detachment. He asked for forty of the most resolute of his followers to devote themselves with him to death. Instead of forty there were eighty who at once offered themselves. He took them. Advancing with them, as if with his whole de- tachment, to give battle, the bulk of his men escaped from the closing net, but he and his eighty fighting to the last were sacri- ficed. Old Grecian heroism never exceeded this. But Poland feels what Lord Ellenborough said the other night— it must fight if it will not be destroyed. PRUSSIA. The publishers of the six newspapers which protested against the recent press ordinance have received a warning. The reasons for this step are officially stated that the papers in question have distorted facts, represented them in an odious light, aroused hatred against the Government, excited disobedience, and on account of their attitude generally. The Minister of the Interior has issued an order to the governors of the pro- vinces to prohibit the discussions of municipal councils upon con- stitutional affairs and politics in general. The Minister says in this order that such discussions, being illegal, cannot be tolerated, and expects that the authorities will exercise with energy the disciplinary powers with which they are invested in respect to the municipalities. The JVord Deutsche Zeitunrj says:—" The Government at Potsdam has already prohibited the Berlin mu- nicipal councils from carrying out their resolution to petition the King, and has expressed its determination to take farther measures should it be found necessary.'' Prussia is in a crisis. AMERICA. After a series of bloody engagements in the rear of Vicksburg, General Grant closely invested that stronghold. Since then he gained great advantages, some of his troops being within a mile and a half of the court house. General Grant's captures were 6,000 prisoners and 74 guns. These successes were the result of movements combined by him with Admiral Porter, who has very skilfully and boldly supported him in everything. The Federals have impressed all the negroes at Alexandria, near Washington, to throw up entrenchments, as a raid of Stewart's cavalry was apprehended at that place. The Federals have destroyed Jackson. The Confederates have captured and sacked the towns of Richmond and Plattsburg, Missouri. Mr Vallandigham was delivered into the Southern lines, near Shelbyville, but the Confederate officer commanding refused to receive him, stating, however, that he would permit him to remain there until instructions were received from the Confederate authorities. The last news is, that, not withstanding all these successes, so skilfully and bravely achieved, the Federals have been repulsed from Vicksburg; heavy less on both sides. A prisoner at the Old Capital Prison, Washington, has been shot dead while looking out of window by the guard on duty. The prisoner was charged with having furnished military appliances to the Confederates at Richmond. He is said to have been a British subject. MILITARY. DEATH OF GENERAL SIB JOHN HANBIJRY, K. C. H., COLONEL or THE 99TH REGIMENT OF FOOT.— VVe have to record the death of General Sir John Hanbury, K. C. H., colonel of the 99th Regiment of Foot, who expired on Sunday night, June 7, at his house in Charles- street, Berkeley- square, after a protracted illness, in the 81st j- ear of his age. The venerable officer entered the army in 1799, and had in his early career seen much active service. The late general served in the Egyptian campaign of 1801, as lieutenant in the 58th, including the actions of the 8th, 13th, and 21st of March, and received the gold medal from the Grand Seignoir. He was aide- de- camp to Major- General Warde in the campaign of 1808- 9, and was present at Sir John Moore's retreat, and at the battle of Corunna. He served with the 1st Guards at Walcheren in 1809, and subsequently in the Peninsular campaign, including the retreat from Burgos, passage of the Biadassoa and Adour, battles of Nivelle and Nive, investment of Bayonne, and repulse of the sortie. Sir John received the war medal with four clasps for Egypt, Corunna, Nivelle, and Nive. THE VOLUNTEERS. RIFLE CHALLENGE FROM AUSTBALIA.— The War Department have forwarded to the Council of the National Rifle Association a challenge received from Adelaide, South Australia, per Major W. Blyth, 40th Regiment, colonel commanding the volunteer force. It is in the following terms:—" To the Captain Commanding the Company of Volunteers in England having made the highest pro- portion of marksmen at the classification of the year 1362.— Sir; I have the honour to propose a friendly match between our re- spective companies on the following conditions, viz :— Ten men a side; rifle, the long Enfield ; distances, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 yards, seven rounds per man at each distance; posi- tion, at 200 yards standing, other distances any position ; system of scaring, that adopted at last meeting at Wimbledon; neither company to fire on its own or customary practice- ground, and no practice to be allowed on the day of the match; the match to take place in the next September— the day of the match to be named by each party not less than seven days previous, in order that umpires may have sufficient time to make their arrangements for being present; no person to be allowed to fire who has not classi- fied with the company he represents at the classification of 1862. The above challenge is offered simply on the ground of the chal- lengers having taken the highest position as marksmen in this province, a certificate of which fact from the colonel- commandant of the volunteers in this province will be handed you along with this challenge. A reply by return mail will oblige.— I am, sir, yours, & c, ( Signed) JAMES RANKINE, Captain Milang Rifles, South Australia. Milang Rifles— Target Practice Classification, 1862. V. M. F. Office, Adelaide, March 25, 1863. Number of third- class men— none. Number of second- class men— none. Number of first- class men—- 30. Total number of men classified— 30. Number of marksmen— 22. ( Signed) T. H. BEGGS." Her Majesty and some of the younger branches of the royal family paid a visit on Friday morning to the Exhibition building. Her Majesty has not seen it sines before leaving London in the autumn of 1861, when the ground was only roughly marked out, and the future forest of scaffolding merely indicated by a few poles. On the occasion of Her Majesty's recent visit to South Kensington we believe she was anxious to see the interior of the building, but the time did not admit of the visit. THE GUARDS' BALL TO THE PBINCE AND PBINCESS OF WALES. — We have already intimated that this event is fixed for the 26th inst. There is no" doubt that it will be one of the most brilliant fetes which have taken place for some years past. It will be held in one of the picture galleries of the Exhibition, as there alone can sufficient [ pace be found ; and, to render this place available, a strong party of the Guards have been engaged for some time past in the preliminary work of laying down a new flooring and making other preparations. ROYAL MABBIAGE.— On Thursday the Duke de Chartres was married, at the Roman Catholic Chapel at Kingston, to his cousin, the Princess Francoise d'Orleans. The ceremony was witnessed by all the Orleans family, including the venerable Queen Marie Am^ lie, whose entrance into the chapel was marked by a visible sensation, all present rising from their seats to pay homage to her illustrious presence. After the ceremony the family returned to Claremont, where they were joined by the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princesses Helena and Louisa, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Princess Mary, and many other illustrious guests. THE BALL AT GUILDHALL.— The grand City entertainment, which has employed the best energies of the Corporation and its officers, and furnished a subject of town talk for several weeks, took place on Monday night, and realised the most sanguine ex- pectations of its promoters. Famous as the City has long been for hospitality of a somewhat solid order, it has yet a reputation to earn for lighter entertainments, and in this ball, given in honour of the Prince and Princess of Wales, it has been able to satisfy its friends and disappoint its enemies. Struggling with the confined limits of a building, the chief lines of which were laid down nearly five centuries ago, when London had probably only a few thousand inhabitants, it has succeeded, by wholesale annexation and reconstruction, in providing house- room for two or three thousand guests— one- half of whom were ladies dressed in all the extravagance of the prevailing fashion. To say that every room and passage was filled to overflowing— that at those points where the prince and princess stood, sat, ate, danced, or received the formal addresses of the evening, there was a series of deter- mined crushes, is only repeating what we have to say at every public drawing room or royal reception, but there was far more room for dancing than many persons expected. On all these occasions the hosts have to invite twice as many persons as they can conveniently accommodate, and even then offend twice as many persons as they are compelled to invite. The plan of build- ing supplementary halls, and taking in public streets and public offices for convivial ante- chambers, hardly gets over the difficulty, for the interest centres in the one principal room in which the chief guests are congregated, and there the natural rush of eager sightseers is constant and embarrassing. When the City visits the West End the same complications occur, and therefore the West End can hardly complain of being hustled and crowded when it visits the City. On this occasion a kind of reconciliation took place between the Metropolitan and the City Police, as the com- missioner of the latter force applied for and obtained the assist- ance of some 700 of the former body to maintain order. THE TEETH AND BBEATH.— A good set of teeth ever insures favourable impressions, while their preservation is of the utmost importance to every individual, both as regards the general health by the proper mastication of food, and the consequen pos- sesession of pure and sweet breath. Among the various prepara- tions offered for the teeth and gums we could particularise " Row- land's Odonto, or Pearl Dentritice," as unrivalled for its excellence in purifying, embellishing, and preserving these important and attractive objects. THE DRAMA. HEB MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— Let the detractors of Signor Verdi's music say what they will, there are some of his operas which so abound in sweet airs and pleasant melodies that it is always safe to give them a hearing some time or other in the course of the season. The " Ballo in Masehera," played on Saturday night week, and again on Tuesday, is one of these, and its performance had the effect of drawing two of the fullest houses of the year. Mdlle Titiens has been in better voice, but never more powerfully- exerted herself than in the scene in the third act, where she goes to pluck the plant ordered by the enchantress. Mdlle Trebelli is an excellent representative of Ulrica, and sings the incantation scena with the greatest care. Signori Gassier and Bossi make a couple of capital conspirators, and 8ignor Giuglini, as the Riccardo of this version of the Swedish story, sings his music with fluency and ease. Signor Delle 8edie, one of the most refined of modern singers, is so well fitted as Renato that he seems to have made the part his own, and on making his first appearance for the season received a most cordial greeting. An encore awaited his tender delivery of the gem of the opera, " Eri tu macchiavi;" an honour accorded also to the quintet in the second act, where Riccardo laughs at the forebodings engendered by the sorceress's prophecy. A new Oscar made so deservedly favourable an impression that we have left her name to the last. Mdlle Volpini is young, handsome, and intelligent, and has a soprano voice of good quality, and one which has had evident training. She sang her firstsong. " Voltea la terra,'' so well as to call forth much applause, and in the last act the " Saper vorresti'' was given with so much well- pointed emphasis, archness, and clever execution of the cantilena, as to demand its encore, all parts of the house joining in this tribute to the excellency of the new artiste. Mdlle Volpini is every way welcome, and we hope will continue to exercise her vocal fasci- nations for many seasons to come. Of the production of Gounod's " Faust," so long talked of, we shall have to speak in our next. It is strongly cast, having Mdlle Titiens and Trebelli, and Signori Giuglini, Gassier, and Santley in the principal characters. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.— What is there new to be said of Rossini's charming " La Gazza Ladra,'' played on Saturday week forthefirsttime these three years, except to record that the audience seemed to enjoy the revival with something of the joy which attaches to the occasion of meeting an old friend? The overture was magnificently played, with a brilliancy and fervour not to be heard at the hands of any other band, and was, of course, encored. The great event of the night was the debut of Mdlle Patti, as Ninetta ; her appearance as the village maid, tripping pleasantly on to the footlights, was charmingly suggestive of the character, but in the grand scena. " Di piacer," admirably sung though it was, the lady failed somehow to awake the wonted enthusiasm of the house. The trio which follows—" O nume benefico ''— went off much better, and being acted to the full, as well as sung, proved one of the best hits of the evening. M Faure never looked, dressed, acted, or sang the part of Fer- nando so well at any previous performance, and Ronconi, as the Podesta, revelled, as is his mood, in the comicalities attached to the conduct of the amorous old Podesta. Signor Tagliafico as the fatherly Fabrizio was clever and painstaking, Madame Tagliafico enacting the wife Lucia with similar ability. Signor Neri Baraldi sang his best as the lover and son returned from the wars, and Madame Nantier Didiee, as Pippo, literally took the house by storm by her masterly execution of her share in the grand duet, " Ebbenper la mia memoria'' in the prison scene, with Mdlle Patti. The encore called for was a spontaneous tribute to the merits of both the singers. The chorus once or twice evinced symptoms of singing a little wide of the mark; future representa- tions will correct this deficiency. Meantime Meyerbeer's " Ro- berto'' is in active preparation, M Obin, known in this country by his great Parisian reputation, being engaged expressly to perform the part of Bertramo. HVYMABKET THEATRE— Lady Gifford's comedy " Finesse" maintains its place at this theatre. A new farce entitled " Easy Shaving," in which Miss Louise Keeley and Mr Compton sustain the principal characters, is a novelty to be hereafter noticed, as is a bagatelle called " An Unlucky Mortal," which is intended as a lever du rideau. PBINCESS'S THEATRE.— A new comedietta from the pen of Mr Roberts, author of the adaptation of " Lady Audley's Secret," en- titled " Cousin Tom,'' was produced on Monday night, June 8, at this theatre. Mr Lothbury ( Mr Fitzjames) has a daughter Lucy ( Miss M. Oliver), who has plighted her troth to a cousin, Tom Vane ( Mr B. Cathcart), though her father destines her hand for Mr Newington Cosway ( Mr G. Belmore). In order to win the lady the latter dresseshimself to resemble Cousin Tom, whom she has not seen for some years, and succeeds in winning her heart. When the real Tom appears it. is found that he is already married, so that all parties are satisfied. Mr Belmore found full scope for his humorous acting, and Miss Oliver was the very prettiest of belles in this agreeable trifle. " Court and Camp" is a stirring piece of political intrigue, and seems modelled after the fashion of " The Duke's Motto." The plot is most tiresome to follow, but it consists mainly in the schemes set on foot by Count Salviati ( Mr C. Verner) and the Duke de Maurepas ( Mr Gaston Murray) to de- stroy the influence of the Countess du Barri ( M iss Amy Sedgwick), the favourite of the King Louis XV.; in these designs they are apparently aided, but eventually frustrated, by Bibi ( Mr George Vining), a common soldier, who turns the tables upon them by marrying his friend Angelus ( Mr J. P. Warde) to Diane de Rosel ( Miss Louise Laidlaw), a lady intended by the conspirators to take the place of the reigning favourite. The Countess du Barri is as- sisted at every step by Bibi, and triumphs over her courtly foes. The drama proceeds along at so swift a pace, and the incidents areso various andso many, that theinterest of theaudienceneverflags. It is therefore successful, and as it is aided by very good acting and some excellent scenery, will doubtless have a long run. Miss Sedgwick plays the courtly lady with much simple dignity and grace, and Miss Lydia Thompson as Guillemette. her confidante, acts and dances with all ber old agreeable vivacity. Mr Vining is well suited as a rough, honest soldier of fortune, and a Mr J. P. Warde, whom we do not remember to have seen before, ex- hibits great promise as a performer of youthful characters. In one scene, where he fancies he has been betrayed by his friend, his acting was very good. A little less immobility of feature and a more natural delivery of the voice are required in this gentle- man, who seems in earnest in what he does. The scenery is capital, especially the gardens at Versailles and the interior of Lawfield Mill. The night's entertainments conclude with a farce called " A Charming Pair," written by Mr Williams, which ex- cites the most uproarious laughter. Mr Dovetail Splicer ( Mr Roxby) delights in match- making and in joining those together who differ so much that they abound, as he terms it, in connu- bial contradictions. He endeavours to unite Mr Lycurgus Smijthe ( Mr G. Belmore) with Miss Sophonisba Simperton ( Mrs H. Mars- ton), a rather elderly lady, who is the aunt of Major Boanerges Bouncer ( Mr Fitzjames), who has married Clementina ( Miss Marian Jones) at Mr Splicer's suggestion. This pair are always quarrelling, and as Mr Splicer becomes complicated between all the aforesaid parties he is compelled eventually to marry the spinster himself. The farce is merrily played, and abounds in absurd situations. ADELPHI THEATRE.— After an absence of three months, Mrs Mellon ( late Miss Woolgar) has resumed her professional avoca- tions at this house. So clever and versatile an actress can be ill- spared from the stage, and her re- appearance was therefore hailed with great pleasure by the habitues of this temple of mirth. The old Adelphi drama of " The Willow Copse" was revived for the occasion, Mrs Mellon's personation of Meg being as natural and unexaggerated a piece of acting as it used formerly to be. Mr Webster, as Luke Fielding, gave a fine exhibition of" acute sensi- bility; Miss Simms as Rose, Mr Bedford as Staggers, Mr C. J. Smith as Lynx, and Mr Toole as Augustus de Rosherville, aided, in their peculiar ways, the successful revival of this piece. The burlesque on the well- worn " Trovatore" followed, and seems to have gained a satisfactory footing in the theatre. BTBAND THEATBE.— This pleasant little house of theatrical fun and frolic was reopened on Monday night, June 8, when an entire change of performances was given. The new manager, Mr W. H. Swanborough, promises several novelties and some new candidates for public favour. The old Olympic burletta of " A Handsome Husband" was the first piece played, and was suc- ceeded by Mr Biron's highly- popular extravaganza, " Aladdin, or the Wonderful Scamp." In this clever travesty Miss Jenny White, a young actress from Birmingham, made her debut as the pert and volatile Aladdin. This lady is singularly like her pre- decessor in the character. Miss Marie Wilton, both in general ap- pearance and style of acting. She has a pleasing face, a good voice, and is full of spirit and confidence, and in parts of this character will be an acquisition to the corps. Miss Fanny Josephs is amongst the new engagements, and resumed her old part of Pekoe. The Widow Twankay is well represented by Mr Honey, who does his fooling with propriety. Mr Danvers is the Abanazar, and Miss Bufton the Princess; whilst Miss Charlotte Saunders, as the Sultan, is a host in herself. The last piece was the amusing farce of " Marriage at any Price,'' which was capitally played by all parties concerned, Miss White dressing up as the very nattiest and smallest of tigers, and Mr Honey assuming crinoline with a mock demure gravity quite irresistible. We would, however, counsel the new manager to avoid all such pieces as contain cha- racters to remind us of old favourites either dead or departed, and to inaugurate a fresh stock of pieces in a path of his own. POLYTECHNIC.— All the town are flocking to this interesting place to see Professor Pepper's Ghost. The illusions produced by some process of natural magic are exceedingly well contrived, and are so startling as to confound the most inquisitive spectators. Mr Pepper reads a portion of Sir Walter Scott's poem, " The Lay of the Last Minstrel,'' and also portions of Dickens's " Haunted Man," illustrating the latter with some ingenious scenery and effects. In addition to this very novel and exciting entertainment a selection of some of the choicest music from Weber's opera of " Der Freischutz'' is sung by Miss Fosbrsoke, Miss Champion, Master A. Taylor, Mr Suchet Champion, and Mr Chaplin Henry, whilst a sort of burlesque running commentary on the opera is provided by Mr Lionel Brough, and some clever optical scenery and curious effects are exhibited by Messrs Childe and Hill— all illustrative of the various scenes in the opera. The entire enter- tainment is well worth a visit to all persons who delight in novelty and something strange. SHAKSPERE MONUMENT.— A proposition to erect a monument to Shakspere somewhere in this great metropolis, is one to be heartily responded to, not only by all lovers of the drama, but by all those who are naturally interested in literary greatness of the Highest national stamp. When it is remembered that, no statue or trophy of Shakspere of any kind exists in London, where it may be seen by all the world without let or hindrance, it is earnestly to be desired that such a desideratum may be speedily supplied. In furtherance of such a design, a performance on a grand scale will take place on the 30th of this month at Drury- lane Theatre, under the patronage of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, when a large attendance will, we trust, respond to the appeal. MADAME RISTOBI.— Mr Mapleson has engaged this great Italian tragedian to give eight performances at Her Majesty's Theatre, commencing to- morrow evening at eight o'clock. Debora and Norma will be amongst the novelties to be introduced to an English audience for the first time during the period of Madame Ristori's engagement. MB SOTHERN.— This highly talented and original actor is con- tinuing his tour of the provinces with unprecedented success. We last heard of him at Edinburgh, performing before that most critical of audiences to an amount of approbation seldom elicited even by the most popular favourites. LAW INTELLIGENCE. THE POACHING ACT.— MAYHEW V WABDLEY.— This was a case stated by the magistrates of Suffolk to the Court of Queen's Bench. The appellant and another man were seen looking through a hedge on the highway, on land in the oc- cupation of a tenant of Mr Shepherd, of Campsey Ash, in Suffolk, by his keeper. The keeper heard a shot fired in the direction where the appellant and his companion were stand- ing, and he afterwards found within 80 yards of that place a dead partridge still warm on the ground. Both the appellant and his companion ran away. The appellant was afterwards captured. There was no evidence to show who fired the gun. Two objections were raised before the justices— first, that no offence was com- mitted on the highway ; and, secondly, that there was no evi- dence that the appellant fired the gun. The justices convicted the appellant, subject to the opinion of the court.— Mr Mark by ap- peared for the respondent; no counsel appeared for the appellant. — The Chief Justice, in giving judgment, said persons might be guilty of trespass although they stood on the highway. That point of law had been ruled in'" Rex v Piatt." The public had an easement— a right of passage, and were lawfully there if using the land for an easement; but if they stood on the land, not for the purpose of the easement, but for another purpose, they were guilty of a trespass in so doing. The o^ her question raised was whether the two persons were to be jointly convicted. From the facts proved the magistrates might infer that the appellant and his companion were out for a common purpose, and, if so, the act done would be the act of each of them.— The other learned judges were of the same opinion, Mr Justice Byles observing that he construed a penal statute in this way most unwillingly, com- pelled by authority.— Judgment for the respondent. MUBDEB AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— On Wednesday last a wretched woman, named Mary Ann Payne, aged 21, murdered her son Charles Albert Payne, aged two years and three months, by cutting his throat, and then attempted to destroy herself by throwing herself from a window at 6, Allsop- place, Marylebone. The wretched woman was much injured by her fall, but, owing to her being stopped by a clothes line, which materially checked the force of her fall, her injuries were not fatal. No cause has been assigned for the act, except that the prisoner was in very low spirits, and had previously said that she was in the same state when in the family way with her first child, and that now she was far gone in pregnancy with a second. She has been remanded from Marylebone police court. We have heard that for the Hampton Races alone, the Vintage Wine Company supplied no less than 180 cases of the " vintage champagne,'' an article which, though highly economical ( 27s per dozen), has earned the highest approbation for delicacy of flavour and superiority of quality. THE RING. FIGHTS FOE THE CHAMPIONSHIP.— The history of the Cham- pionship of England, with the Appendix up to the end of 1860, may now be obtained at our office in one volume, price 5s, instead of 7s 6d for the two volumes. GALLANT FIGHT BETWEEN JEM TYSON AND TOM MORRIS, FOR £ 25 A SIDE. This match took place on Tuesda}', June 9, on the Home Cir- cuit, when the whole of the proceedings passed off satisfactorily. Although the lads have fought once before within the ropes, yet the present tourney is to be looked on as the real opening of their milling career, as the prior contests in which tliey figured were only for £ 10 a side, and were in all respects of a minor character. It, however, must be stated that in their " trial battles" both had the good luck to dispose of their antagonists, and from the man- ner in which they won gained the good opinion of their backers. Tyson is a nephew of Harry Tyson, so well known to the patrons of the Ring for the game battle he fought some time since with Harry Poulson of Nottingham. He is 21 years of age, stands 5ft 3jin, and was backed from Mr George's, the Duke of York, New North- road, Paddington. Morris is a younger brother of ^ well- known Dan Morris. He is in his twentieth year, stands 5ft lin, and had for his mentor the renowned Alec Keene, Three Tuns, Moor- street,, Seven Dials, by whom he was backed. The lads were not confined to weight, but in this Tyson had all the advantage, being at the very least a stone the heavier, Morris, when he last scaled, which was just before he left his training quarters, pulling down the beam at 8st. An early start from the metropolis had been agreed upon, and after a rather long journty by rail, ail being found " serene," the commissary pro- ceeded to form the list. Tyson was the first to step within the ropess, having for counsel a distinguished member of the corps belonging to the Wolverhampton division, aided by " patient Job ;" while Morris had retained two of the most noted of the special pleaders who are eminent on the western circuit, and it may be said that no lad could possibly have been more powerfully supported than was the gallant little Tom. It is worthy of re- mark that throughout the whole of this capitally- fought contest the conduct of the respective seconds was admirable in the ex- treme, for they not only kept well in their corners, but, like clever actors well up in their parts, said and did only what was needful, a display of judicieus common sense that might be fol- lowed by many " busy men" with much advantage to themselves, and real benefit to those whose interest may be entrusted to them The toss for choice of corners was won by Morris, and just before the lads placed themselves in the hands of their seconds to receive the finishing touch, they laid an even " fiver'' on the re suit. At 10 minutes to eleven o'clock they were conducted to the scratch, and left to commence the contest. The pressure on our space will not allow of our going into our customary details, which we much regret, as we admit that many of the rounds were well and gallantly fought, and, from their intrinsic merit, well deserve to be given in full. When the seconds of the lads had left them to themselves, the first thing that struck the attention was the difference between them, Tyson in all respects being so much the bigger man that there could be only one opinion entertained, that Morris had been a good deal overmatched. Tyson, who is well made about the hips and loins, and deeply set in the shoulder, is a fine, strong, powerful young fellow, and was in tiptop condition. A more compact, well- made little fellow than Morris we never saw enter the ring. The pro- ficiency he displayed in the changes as he drew from his antagonist took many by surprise; and certainly it may be said that he manifested all the coolness of a more experienced tac- tician. As the men sparred and manoeuvred Morris got here'and there in all parts of the ring; and the style in which Tom made each fresh disposition and variation gave ample proof that he had put the academical lectures to good use. Tyson, though he dif- fered from his man in this as much as he did in attitude, never- theless was not without a great amount of excellence in his action, though less noticeable, because less showy. After some well delivered exchanges, in which Morris popped in the left on the dial in a manner that gave the greatest satisfaction to his friends, the lads got vfell within range, when, in a spirited style, they fought on the give- and- take principle with both mawleys until they got to the ropes in Tom's corner, when Morris, finding he was likely to be cramped for room, went down. First blood was now claimed for Morris and admitted, as there was a slight show of the crimson from the left side of Jem's kisser. At the opening of the contest, Morris, from the frequent visitations he made with his left on the front of his antagonist's dial, occasionally following up with the right, inspired his partisans with much confidence. As the battle continued Tyson got more initiated in the tactics of his opponent, and acting under the advice of the Wolverhampton Hero, who has a great notion of at all times being first, he went at his man and forced the fighting, often making the attack with a spring from the left foot, and hitting " wide'' with the left from the fore- arm. On the termination of the twenty- fourth round the contest had occupied exactly one hour, and during this time there had been a deal of' admirable fighting, some of the rounds, for the style in which they finished, producing the ut- most interest, and the lads, as they deserved to be, were again and again vociferously cheered. Tyson in leading off repeatedly planted the left on the mark, and twice during the fight so severely that Tom had a difficulty in holding up. In the 33d round Tyson, with a heavy left- hander on the snout, knocked his man down, and he again towards the close of the battle repeated the performance, if possible in a more decided manner. As round followed round in rapid succession, so did it become more and more apparent that, notwithstanding the gallant manner in which Morris fought, the wear and tear of the con- test was telling on him. It was evident he at times came up much distressed, and now it was seen from the relative condition of the combatants it was nothing more than a question of time. Tyson was not only administering all the punishment, but he frequently threw his man heavily, this being particularly the case in the last round fought. There were in the whole seventy- five gallant rounds, occupying two hours and twenty- two minutes, when just as Tom was once more advancing to renew the contest, his brother Dan threw up the sponge in token of defeat. Morris on the in- stant turned his head with a reproachful look, as much as to say " Who did that ?" and then was led back by his seconds. There were several appeals made during the fight, but they were not heeded by the referee, who it is only right to state discharged his duties in a fair and impartial manner. Although Morris has had the misfortune to be defeated on the present occasion, yet he has given the utmost satisfaction to his friends, and there can be no doubt that he will be again shortly heard of to advantage. He has a good idea of getting from his man when in trouble, but as this is, judging from what we witnessed on the present occasion, likely hereafter to be " a rock" on which it is more than possible all his hopes might be shipwrecked, we should advise him not to let the habit steal on him of drawing the line too fine. Several gentle- men on the ground paid him for his colours as if he had won, and as he is well- deserving of notice as a game, persevering lad, it is to be hoped all who can afford to do so will follow this laud- able example. A fairer fighter than Tyson never entered the ring, and he has won this contest in a manner highly creditable to himself. That he has yet much to learn before he takes a leading position no one who witnessed the tourney will for a moment at- tempt to dispute. Still, taking all in all, there can be no denying he is a highly promising candidate for pugilistic honours, and when he has acquired a little more polish, will prove a dangerous opponent for any man who may fancy him. Both men on quitting the ring bore unmistakable marks of the " rubbing ill,'' but still the punishment was not of a heavy description about the upper- works. THE TWO THOUSAND POUNDS MATCH. TOM KING AND JACK HEENAN.— These men must not forget that a further deposit of £ 50 a side for their great undertaking is to be made at Bill Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Church- street, Shoreditcli, on Thursday night, June 18, when doubtless the cognoscenti will muster in full iig to give the host a turn, and do honour to so important an occasion. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. MACE AND RYALL.— We are desired to state that Ryall of Bir- mingham will meet Mace at our office on Thursday, June 18, be- tween twelve and four o'clock, to draw up articles for £ 200 a side and the Champion's Belt. MILNES AND SMITH, FOB £ 50.— These men met at the Gaping Goose, near Bradford, on June 2, when, owing to the unwelcome appearance of the police, there was evidently no chance of bring- ing the mill off. Subsequently the men, with their backers, met at Bradford, when Smith's party obstinately refused to come to any arrangement, Milnes's backers at last offering £ 3 to have it come off the same afternoon, but to no purpose. On behalf of Milnes, his backers are willing to increase the stake to £ 50 a side provided Sell's Life will appoint time and referee; to fight in either the London district or Liverpool, and they will allow £ 5 for it to come off in the latter district. DUBKIN AND MOBRIS.— Last week we stated that Mr Lomax, the referee in this match, had written to say that he decided in favour of Morris. We have now a letter, also signed by Lomax, stating that the former letter was a forgery, and that the only decision he has given is that the men must fight again or draw. It is impossible for us to decide who is right or who is wrong, or whether there is such a person as Lomax. We shall therefore hold the money until we have some more tangible statement than those now before us to go by. E. COLLINS OF BIRMINGHAM ( ROOM'S NOVICE) AND ALF NEWTON OF THE POTTEBIES.— This match at catch weight, for £ 10 a side, is going on. £ 3 a side is in the hands of W.

M Phillips, the coroner for the Wolverhampton district of South Staffordshire, who is also a solicitor, and resides at the Lloyds. Penn, near Wolverhampton, has become a sacrifice to the pre- vailing fashion in dress amongst ladies, to which they cling often, as in this case, with fatal tenacity. The deceased lady was 55 years of age, and has had seven children, who have grown up to manhood and womanhood. On Friday forenoon, June 5, the de- ceased lady was in the kitchen where was an open grate, and was standing with her back to the fire. Suddenty the bottom part of the skirt of her dress became ignited, and she was immediately enveloped in flames, for the dress which she wore was of muslin fabric. The butler, the coachman, and Mr Phillips reached the hall whilst the flames were yet about the unhappy lady, and the first- named tried to extinguish them by throwing a great coat around his mistress. The assistance, however, came too late ; all that could be done was slightly to alleviate her intense sufferings, and she died at eight o'clock on Saturday night. HOP INTELLIGENCE.— Maidstone.— The hops are making rapid progress, the bine, with few exceptions, looking strong and healthy. Some hot sunny days last week caused a decrease in the fly, and though there are stilfsome to be found in most grounds, the prospect at present is promising;. Canterbury.— The fly at- tacked our best plantations very heavily on Thursday week, but during the past week the plant has recovered, the vermin having left, and it is now making rapid strides. There is every prospect of a crop, the bine having a very healthy appearance. We have a few grounds, upon the light soils, with a deficiency of bine, and no prospect of reaching the top of the poles; but still the leaf looks healthy where there is any bine, and in some grounds the poles are already topped. Worcester.— The bine looks very healthy, and although we have some fly, yet it is not numerous enough to cause any alarm.— South Eastern Gazette. Consumption, in every stage, is only aggravated and accelerated by drugs of every description, but perfectly curable by Du Barry's health- restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, a3 proved by thousands of cases which had been considered hopeless. We emote a few.— Cure, No. 62,914. Lifege, in Belgium, 28th Dec, 1862. I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude for the cure, which may be called marvellous, of my daughter by Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food, after the medical men had abandoned all hopes of her recovery from the last stage of pulmonary consumption, with fearful cough, expectoration, exhaustion, spitting of blood, per- spirations, hollow cheeks, emaciated to a skeleton. Though only 18 years of age, she looked more like a worn out old woman; this was her condition two months back. Since then she has lived on Du Barry's Food, and under its salutary influence all those horrid symptoms gradually disappeared, and she is now, thank God ! a perfectly healthy, blooming, fleshy girl, to the astonishment of all who saw her two months ago.— N.

SPORTING CHRONICLE. [' LATEST EDITION.] TEE TUEF. THE ASCOT SETTLING- THE FERNHILL STARES AND THE QUEEN'S STAND PLATE. So heavy a meeting as Ascot was of necessity productive of a proportionate heavy settling, and the Room on Monday afternoon was densely crowded, while hour after hour passed on without any apparent diminution in the activity with which rolls of notes " changed hands." To a certain extent the settling passed off smoothly enough, but on the other hand much annoyance was experienced from the unexpected reversal of the judge's verdict for the " Queen's Stand Plate,'' and the decision relative to bets on the Fern Hill Stakes. For the former race it will be remem- bered that Lord Glasgow's Knowsley came in first, beating Lord Coventry's Umpire— who " cut it" at the finish— by three quar- ters of a length. Knowsley we may state was the " worst favou- rite," and backed chiefly by those who adhere to Lord Glasgow's colours and Aldcroft's mounts. The race, like most other past events, was esteemed " done with," and no small amount of surprise was consequently created by the subjoined notice, which was posted in the Room in the usual place :— " THE QUEEN'S STAND PLATE. " The owner of Umpire, the second horse in this race, has claimed the prize on the ground that Knowsley, the horse that came in first, did not carry the proper weight, having taken his allowance of 141b as a maiden four year old, whereas he walked over for the Municipal Stakes at Doncaster, in 1861, and was en- titled to an allowance © f 101b only as not having won a plate or Stake in 1862 or 1863. Lord Glasgow, being aware of the mistake, admits the objection, and Umpire is declared the winner of the Queen's Stand Plate.— By order, " C. J. and E. WEATHERBY." The objection not having been made during the Ascot meeting now led to some vehement discussion as to its validity. It was made under Rule LXVI, which runs as follows :— " All complaints of foul riding, or of horses not running the proper course, or of any other irregularities occurring in the race, must be made either bv the owner, jockey, or groom of the horse, to one of the Stewards, to the Judge of the race, to the Clerk of the Course, or the Clerk of the Scales, within a quarter of an hour after the race. " As it is expedient that there should be a statute^ of limitations with respect to the time of lodging objections against winning horses, no complaints can be entertained after the conclusion of the race meeting, save and except charges of fraudulent entry or of running horses under a false description, which may be investigated at any period within one year from the date of the offence.'' From this it will be seen that Knowsley, in claiming the full " maiden" allowance, was considered as coming under the cate- gory of being fraudulently entered or running " under a false de- scription." The announcement of his disqualification, however, created some sensation, as many bsokmakers had " settled" on the race at Ascot, and some having paid over Knowsley to per- sons they are not likely in certain instances to see in a hurry again, now find themselves called upon to pay over Umpire. So much for the present on the Queen's Stand Plate. Later in the afternoon the decision was given relative to the bets on the Fern Hill Stakes, anent which race we may just note again that Baron Rothschild's jockey weighed late, and Hip- polyta's number was put up instead of Tomato's, who came in first. MrBevill objected to the winner receiving the stakes on the above ground, and the following decision was given on the following day, as we recorded it in our last number :— " 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, ^ " S > Stewards." " C. ALEXANDERJ Thus far the decision as to the race, but the question of bets— although in reality there appeared little " question" in the matter — was referred to the Committee of Tattersall's. Certain members of the committee, however, it would appear had bets on the race, and the upshot was that two gentlemen— who are not members of the committee— were called upon to assist in adjudicating upon the case, and the result was that after a long consultation and discus- sion the somewhat startling verdict was given that " all bets are void!" The first two rules, as arranged by the Committee of the Sub- scription Rooms at Tattersall's and Newmarket set forth:— " 1. In all bets there must be a possibility to win when the bet is made; ' you cannot win when you cannot lose.' " 2. The interests of the bets are inseparable with the interests of the stakes, except when the winning horse is disqualified owing to a default in making stakes; or if an objection be made to the qualification of a horse en the ground of incorrect pedigree or nomination, after the race is run, the bet shall go to the horse that comes in first, provided he is of the right age and not other- wise disqualified by the laws of racing. How the decision given on Monday is reconcilable with " Rules I. and II." we confess our utter inability to explain. The - verdict created much " sensation," and a feeling of almost uni- versal dissatisfaction, the more especially when it was stated that Admiral Rous— than whom no better authority exists on Turf matters — was opposed to it. To assume that so singular a decision would be quietly endured is, under the circum- stances, entirely out of the question, and ive may state that a requisition, numerously signed by the members of Tattersall's, lias been this week got up, praying to have the matter recon- sidered by a full meeting of the committee, or, in other words, " moving for a new trial." This requisition, we may further state, is signed not onty by those who stand to lose heavily by the " decision," but by others who stand to win by it, so unanimous is opinion on the subject. Entirely disclaiming any preju- dice whatever in the matter we should, as the organ of the racing world, but ill discharge our duty did we shrink from the task of proclaiming the feeling of distrust which such eccentric decisions are calculated to engender. We are enabled to state that the decision is utterly at variance with the opinion of Ad. miral Rous, as it most certainly is with the fundamental princi- ples of betting and racing law, but as we confidently anticipate a thorough reconsideration and adjustment of the decree, we forbear any further remarks in the present state of the case. The commotion caused by the above decisions completely para- lysed all speculation on future events, and our usual " head- ing >•—" Betting at TattersallV' would for once be a misnomer. The St Leger was totally unheeded. No mention was made of the Hampton or Newton events, and the only wagers that came under our notice, and those were laid on the quiet during the early part of the afternoon, were 5,000 to 125 about Baragah, 40 " ponies" about Claremont, and 10,000 to 125 about Birch- broom for next year's Derby.

We may add that no extra charge will be made for this accommodation. STOCKTON RACES.— We beg to call the attention of owners and trainers to the closing of stakes at the above meeting on Tuesday next, the 16th inst. Full particulars will be found in our adver- tising columns, and it will be seen that 100 sovs are added to each handicap, and as there are already several subscribers, good entries may he anticipated. Mr L- i Mert requests us to state that his colt by The Dupe out of Carlotta is named Simpleton, not Claptrap. I . Brown has left Lewes for HoughtenDown, near Stoclcbridge, and the following horses have recently arrived there to be trained bv him:— Tolurno, 4 yrs; colt by Hobbie Noble out of The Belle, colt by N iasham out of Comedy's dam, colt by Lord of the Isles out of Z tella, filly by Weatherbit out of Harvest Moon's dam, filly by Biack Doctor or Neasham out of England's Beauty; all yearlings. THE PAST WEEK AT NEWTON, AND HAMPTON, AND THE FORTHCOMING- WEEK IN HAMPSHIRE. Judging by the returns from Newton, the northern division must have used up all their horses at Ascot, or else be keeping them in waiting for Newcastle, as the return list is of the poorest descrip- tion, and the Newton Handicap, whichgused to be betted upon so heavily at Hampton, now terminated in a walk over. This state of things will, no doubt, be provided against on another occasion, as Mr Bake is not the person to sit still and see his meeting de- caying without taking some steps to arrest it. Prince Arthur, backed lately for a great deal of money for the Derby, won his engagement with sufficient cleverness to warrant his being watched throughout the season, and there seems every probability of his turning out the best of the Ashgill lot. That Ha nip con passed off without the slightest wrangling is an event of such an extraordinary occurrence, that it deserves being chronicled. Not only did the horses run as much on the square as at Ascot, but there was not a single objection against a jockey for a cross, or going the wrong side of the course. Such a happy state of things* almost Utopian in its character, says a great deal for the improvement in the tone of the meeting, and should almost bring Jetnrny Ducks to life again. To sit down and dissect in regular order the return lists of Hampton, is happily a task to which we are not compelled to devote ourselves, for few of our readers cared for the racing when they were witnessing it, and less when it ceased. The withdrawal of the public's first, fancies for the Surrey and Middlesex Handicap at once reduced it to a match between Buckenham and Canary, and it was no small feather in the cap of the former to give his year to a horse of the stamp of Canary, and walk away from him. After having seen no fewer thin twenty- six two year olds behind Birch Broom at Ascot, it took no first- class prophet to proclaim he would sweep away the Two Year Old Stake, which he did without being unnecessarily ex- tended. Contrary to general expectation, Garotter did not put in an appearance for the Claremont, his attack, we suppose being deferred till he comes across more attractive metal at Stockbridge, which he is likely to do. Therefore Lady Nicoll was the only public filly left in and as slie was beaten in such an easy way, one of two things follows, either that she must have trained off, or Black Friar have trained on, and in time the moot point will no doubt be decided. Since Hampton has been a race course it has never, we believe, been honoured with the gallop of a St Leger winner, with the ex- ception of Sir Tatton Sykes, who was entered and ran for some small stake when he changed hands. Therefore, the sight of so famous a mare as Caller Ou, whose name was as familiar as household words to the million, imparted a tenfold interest to the Cup. And even the policemen were warmed into enthusiasm as they witnessed her easy victory, which was the more gratifying after the disagreeable and wholly false impressions which were in circulation respecting her in the morning. Many were appre- hensive, from the uncertainty of her temper, she might dislike the turns and run out, but Aldcroft taking her fast hold by the head prevented her taking any liberties, and never gave the layers a chance for their money. Of all the meetings in the South of England to which racing men look forward with the greatest interest, next to Goodwood, is Stockbridge, whose downs have been rendered famous by the many high mettled racers that have been prepared on them for the costly prizes of Epsom and Doncaster. The improve- ments that have been made of late years in the Bibury and Stock- bridge meetings since the retirement of honest John have been too frequently acknowledged in these columns to require fresh allusion, and John Day may think himself fortunate in having such a warm patron as the Duke of Beaufort to aid him in carrying out his various projects, and using the red book so freely with his friends. To meet the general desire of last year, £ second day has been added to Stockbridge, which has been accom plished by pushing on Winchester until the week before Good- wood, and that the latter meeting has not suffered by the change is manifested by the entries never having been near so large. But the improvement is not confined solely to the Stockbridge days, for the Bibury day also appears in brighter colours than it has done for some years past. And it is gratifying to think that although the club dinners are not. so numerously attended at Andover as they used to be in days of yore, owing to its members being quartered in the different country houses in the neighbour- hood, the club is annually increasing in its numbers, and the riding members embrace the elite of Young England. In drawing out programmes John Day's experience as trainer and jockey has been of immense service to him, and the skill and aptitude he has displayed in his bill of fare, which is constructed to meet all tastes, is deserving of strong commendation. That Stockbridge was made by its Triennials there is no reason to doubt, and annually the incidents that occur in them contribute most to the success of the meeting. Never have they been so valuable as this year, but it is strange to think of the paucity of good animals' names that are found in the subscription. Neverthe- less, such is the case, and until our patriotism prevents our best blood and bone being exported to the Continent, the evil will re- main unabated. As Odiham is our first halting- place on the read to Stockbridge, we must be permitted to stop there for a moment, and inspect the invitation card that has been issued by Mr Trodd, the excellent clerk of the course, to whom the meeting is confided. The Odiham Handicap, according to etiquette, should have pre- cedence over the other events, and out of the thirty animals that have been put together our preference leans towards J udex and Raglan. The Hurstbourne Stakes, with fifteen subscribers, is an index how well the meeting isprogressing; and if Starbeam is as well as at the commencement of the season, she ought to bowl over all the lot. The Dogmersfield Park Stakes is a species of Nursery Handicap, and, like the preceding one, does not lack nominations. They are, however, such a moderate collection, that the winning of Faith ® r Naxos would not in the least surprise us. The plates are not fit subjects for anticipation. On Wednesday the fixture will be changed from Odiham to Stockbridge, when the Bibury Club will open the amusements with the Bibury Stakes, the oldest established gentlemen riders' race in the south of England, and with which the names of many celebrated cocktails and other horses in olden times are associated. The handicap having only just appeared, there has been no de- monstration of public opinion respecting it; but it is gratifying to see the high scale of weights has been adopted, so that ardent and ambitious gentlemen jockeys need not have recourse to the wasting processes of their professional brethren. In this race so many times victory has been achieved more by the skill of the jockey than the quality of the horse, that a knowledge is abso- lutely requisite before a competent opinion can be given of the issue. The week before last Rubicon ran a good second to Stan- ton, and being a powerful horse, to whom weight is no object, we think it quite within the bounds of reason that, with a good jockey up. he may be named the winner, and next to him we ha* e a partiality for Fairy King and Canary. The usual Handicap Plate, which is decided over the Old Course, betrays good knowledge of public running in its construction, and we hazard an opinion that Judex and Merry Maid will repay their backers. The second Handicap being only over five furlongs will be akin to the Spencer Plate at Northampton, and were we compelled to select a couple to stand we should go to the O division, on Over- ture and Ossian. The Champagne Stakes is so made up of the stables in the neighbourhood that the issue is certain almost to be foreshadowed by the market. John Day's lot is a powerful one, and as Master Richard ran second to The Scottish Chief he ought,, if the latter be in reality what he is represented, to taste his first champagne here, and next to him Molly Carew and the Whimsical colt are the most prominent supplicants for the first place. Passing over a brace of unclosed stakes we come to the Great Biennial, for of such designation it is well worthy. For a stake of such pecuniary value to be obtained at so small a risk, there cannot be a question of there being numerous competitors. Whether the north will have any represen- tatives we are not in a position to inform our readers ; but the south and south- western districts will have sufficient candidates in the field to give an unprecedented interest to the announcement of the close of the poll. To publish a correct re- gister of the starters is beyond our power, but among those that are favourably known to the British public may be mentioned Ackworth, Becky Sharpe, and Master Richard, the follower of The Scottish Chief at Ascot; and among those of whom anticipa- tions of a high order are entertained are Cceur de Lion, New Zea- land, Glendusk, King George, Sea Boy, and lily, and The Doctor. Of these John Day has such a line of the two year olds that have been out this season through Garotter and Master Richard, that he is little likely to err in his measure of Ackworth, who we are of opinion on this occasion will sport the yellow and purple stripes of his owner successfully. In the rich match, made at the commencement of the week, between Adventurer and Libellous, the quality of the former we imagine will enable him to give away his seven pounds. The Stockbridge meeting we regret to find inaugurated with a handicap of so wretched a character as " The Beaufort,'' for which only seven have been left in out of the forty that were origi- nally nominated. Canary must by this time be rather stale, or we should have entertained a sneaking fondness for him ; and we must turn to Balham or Carisbrook as the receiver general of the stakes. The Second Year of the Fourth Stockbridge Biennial, being for three year olds, will not come up to the two year old one, for there are no public runners with anything like form about them, with the exception of Gladstone, for Tom Fool would be out of his dis- tance, and the Old Orange Girl seems gone to nothing, and Countess has been amiss all the year. The Stockbridge Cup, with its allowances and penalties, which cannot be calculated until the time of running, may, perhaps, give us the second peep of The Scottish Chief, and, should this be the case, we do not imagine he will be overhauled. But should Mr Merry reserve him for his Newmarket engagements, and keep Buckstone for the Stewards' Plate, then Argonaut would stand out in alto relievo from the others. The Mottisfont Stakes will bring back to the memory of the habitues of Stockbridge the late popular baronet after whose an- cestral seat the race takes its name. We will not stop to sift the claims of all that will be pulled out for this event, but place on record our conviction that it will resolve itself into a match be- tween Molly Carew and Vacuna, and terminate in favour of the latter, who ought not to have been defeated at Ascot. The Stand Plate and a Sweepstakes finish the card. The second day, Friday, is ushered in with the Uxbridge Plate, for which, from the amount of money for which Creole has been backed on more than one occasion, we have a shrewd suspicion that she will be about bringing it back now. The Danebury ISursery has been better handicapped than the Beaufort Stakes, but the termination of the race will be solely guided by the way the other two year old races finish during the week. While we* are compiling our anticipations we should not disclaim the pretensions of Echo, Royston, and Red Cap. The Gentlemen's Derby does not take the eye so much as it would have done with a larger list of subscribers, and the designa- tion is so fascinating that it ought to have filled infinitely better. At present we can only deal with it in the shape in which it pre- sents itself, and with Bally Edmond and Rubicon we must take our chance of discovering the victor. The Stewards' Plate is, as ever, attractive, but as yet we have not been furnished with any information as to the horses en route for it. Still, as Tim Whiffler will have been used up after Ascot, there is no pretender with such constitutional claims as Buck- stone, to whom, we are of opinion, even Asteroid would yield, were Sir Joseph Hawley to drag him from his retirement. The criticisms on the other races would afford no more interest to our readers than the sight of them to the spectator. THE QUEEN'S PLATE AND THE FERNHILL STAKES. MR EDITOR : The decisions given on the Queen's Stand Plate and Fernhill Stakes at Ascot are apparently so contrary to the laws of racing and betting, that they surely will require to be re- investigated, or in the course of a short time there may be differ- ent decisions on similar cases. There is no doubt that Knowsley carried 8st 51b instead of 8st 91b, but as no objection was made until the Monday, it was not a valid one; as according to Rule 66, " All complaints of foul riding, or of horses not running the proper courses, or of any other irregularities occurring in the race, must be made either by the owner, jockey, or groom of the horse to one of the stewards, to the judge of the race, to the clerk of the course, or the clerk of the scales, within a quarter of an hour after the race. As it is expedient that there should be a statute of limitations with respect to the time of lodging ob- jections against winning horses, no complaints can be entertained after the conclusion of the race meeting, save and except charges of fraudulent entry, or of running horses under a false description, which may be investigated at any period of one year from the date of the offence.'' That there was anything fraudulent on the part of Lord Glasgow or his jockey no one, I think, dare to in- sinuate, therefore, that part of the rule cannot apply, and as no false or improper description was given of the horse on the entry being made, he could have carried his proper weight, but did not do so purely through mistake, which Lord Coventry or his trainer omitted to avail themselves of within the specified time. The members of Tattersall's were informed by a notice from Messrs Weatlierby that Lord Glasgow, one of the most liberal and straightforward men on the Turf, has given up the stakes, worth £ 380, to Lord Coventry, but it does net state that it was decided he should do so, therefore, it cannot follow that the law of the case is to be set aside, and that from, perhaps, £ 10,000 to £ 15,000 in bets is also to be given up. The rule above was framed by the Jockey Club, and they alone can decide or alter it, as I believe they have not delegated that power to their Stewards, who are elected to carry out the business of their meetings in the same manner as the Stewards of the country meetings do at theirs, and whenever they have given a decision contrary to the rules of the Jockey Club it has invariably been reversed. If such a power was to exist in the Stewards might there not be in ten years as many different decisions? As to the Fernhill Stakes, all that the Stewards of the Ascot Meeting had to do in it was to inquire if Tomato had weighed out, or if permission had been given by any of them for her starting without doing so ? had there not they should have disqualified her, as according to rule 37, " Jockeys are required to weigh out at the usual place of weighing before the race, unless excused by the Stewards for some special reason, when the fact must be noti- fied to the Clerk of the Scales." An opinion has been given by parties in authority that it is not necessary for the jockey to weigh out. and that the horse will be entitled to the stakes if he comes in first and the proper weight is brought in. If this be correct, for what purpose is the special permission of the Stewards required! In a matter of this kind there should be no doubt, or we may some day see three or four horsesin front that no one but those connected with them knew about their going to the post. As the decision given relative to the bets is so very extraordinary, it seems impossible that, it can stand. The rules on betting were sanctioned by the whole of the committee, and before one of them can be set aside it must be sanctioned by a majority of them. In cases of disputed bets between members of the Room there cannot be a question that the decision of one or more members of the committee should be final, as they decide not on the laws, but the evidence brought before them. But this is a very different case, and their decision upsets rule 2, " That the interest of the bets are inseparable from the stakes.'' And to show the absurdity of it, had any other animal than Tomato come in first the stakes and bets would have gone with it; therefore the backers stood to win, and have not lost, which must be contrary to Rule 1. " You cannot win when you cannot lose." It may be a hard case on the backers that Tomato's num- ber was not put up, but this cannot be taken into consideration, as it was, from the stakes being awarded to her. an act of careless- ness in some way or other on the part of Baron Rothschild's trainer, who was heavily fined ; but as the case is so far decided is it not much harder on the bettors round, who stood to lose but not to win ? At Epsom, when Hypatia's number was put up and then taken down, the bets about her were off, but those laid against the other horses at long prices stood, and although a very hard case, it was not referred to the committee at Tattersall's. If the rules of racing and betting are not explicit, they ought imme- diately to be made so, or the bettors round, for their own protec- tion, will have to bet " first past the post," as they do at some of the country meetings, where half breds only can run.— Yours, & c, June 9, 1863. A MEMBER OF TATTERSALL'S. THE QUEEN'S STAND PLATE AT ASCOT. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR: Several of the members of Tattersall's having refused to settle on the above race until such time as the same has been pro- perly investigated by a proper tribunal, it may not be out of place to point out the exact rules bearing on the case. It is contended that Knowsley is entitled to the stakes for two reasons, justified and laid down by the laws of racing. Firstly, that Knowsley was a " maiden," and carried the proper weight. The conditions of the race in question were " that a maiden four years old should be allowed 14 ® ." Had the conditions been for " horses which had never won," the case would have been quite different, it being distinctly laid down by Rule/ owr, published by the Jockey Club, " That a maiden horse is one that never won a plate or sweepstakes." Therace which Knowsley walked over and received the forfeits for was not a plate or sweepstakes, and consequently was still amaiden at the time of running for the race in question, and carried the proper weight. Rule VII. states " three" subscribers make a sweepstakes, and if a stake has the required number of sub- scribers at the expiration of the time of closing, such race would not be void as long as there are two horses left in the, race the property of different owners. The race which Knowsley received the forfeits for never consisted of three subscribers. Lord Glasgow nominated one horse and Mr Merry two horses, consequently there were only two subscribers, although one such subscriber named two horses. At the time of closing the stakes there were not TWO horses the property of different owners engaged in the race, as required by the rule to constitute a sweepstakes. The horses named by Mr Merry were both " wrongly nominated," consequently were never in the race; and although Lord Glasgow received the forfeits from the two horses wrongly nominated and disqualified the moment the time of closing the stake had expired, and such race never having been a " sweepstakes" according to the rules of the Jockey Club, Knows- ley was not disqualified from being a maiden by walking over for and receiving the forfeits. If it is decided that Knowsley was not entitled to a maiden allowance, what necessity is there for Rules 5, 6, and 7 to exist? The simple course would be to alter Eule 4, and at once state that " A maiden horse should be one that never won or walked over for a race of any description." If the Jockey Club intend this, what is the necessity of defining the meaning of a plate or sweepstakes as laid do wri by Rules 5,6, and 7 ? Secondly, it is contended that the objection not having been made before the expiration of the meeting the same cannot be admitted. Rule 66 states:—" No complaints can be entertained after the conclu- sion of the race meeting, save and except charges of fraudulent entry or of running horses under a false description." If the objection made after the time, laid down by the rules of the Jockey Club is admitted, it cannot be under any other circumstance than that the highly esteemed nobleman or his trainer have " fraudulently run the horse. v Such cannot be supposed to be the case, and let Knowsley have carried what weight, he may in error, such mis take cannot be contended to be " fraudulently running," and the objection not having been made in time, the decision of the judge ought not to be altered, or a precedent will be laid down by which the rules of the Jockey Club will be nullified. A full and impar- tial investigation of the case is all that is required by the gentle- men having large amounts at stake on the race. The insertion of the above will oblige several members of Tattersall's.— I am, sir, yours, & c, ONE OF THEM. THE BENTINCK BENEVOLENT FUND. At a meeting of the committee of the Bentinck Fund, held at Messrs Weatherby's office on Saturday, May 24, present Admiral Rous, Lord Chesterfield, Lord Portsmouth, Duke of Richmond, Duke of Beaufort, The accounts for the year ending Dec 31, 1862, were presented, passed, and ordered to be published in the usual manner. Resolved— That out of the balance in band the treasurers do purchase £ 100 Consols in the name of the trustees. Resolved— That the allowances to the present annuitants be continued. Resolved— That Mrs Prince, Mrs Turner, and Mrs Chifney, widows, to each of whom a donation was granted last year, be now placed on the list as annuitants of £ 15 per annum ; also that Mrs Hawkins, aged seventy- six, widow of Thomas Hawkins of Canterbury, be granted an annuity of £ 15. Resolved— That a donation of £ 10 each be granted to James Jaques and Frank Buckle, and also to Mrs Cartwright and Mrs Bradley, widows. The cish account from December 31, 1861, to December 31 1862, was duly audited, leaving a balance in treasurer's hand of £ 211 lis 3d. _ STUD NEWS.

HAMPTON EACES. Stewards: The Earl of Strathmore, the Earl of Sefton. the Earl of Westmoreland. Judge : Mr J. Clark. Starter: Mr T. Mar- shall. Secretary: Mr J. Walton. Faithful to the " Cup Day," and ignoring for the most part the attractions of the " Stakes Day," the multitude save themselves for the morrow, and the meeting on Moulsey Hurst opens inva- riably in " calm and quiet" as compared with the Babel- like sounds, the crowd, crush, and tumult of the huge Cockney gather- ing on the second day. This year proved no exception to the rule, for the assemblage on the Hurst, on Wednesday, considering its proximity to the metropolis, was only a moderate one, and but a faint outshadowing of the concourse of the " Cup Day." The weather during the morning was somewhat dull and lowering which probably caused some diminution in the ranks of the pleasure seekers, but beyond a passing shower or two, which drove the visitors under canvas for temporary protection, the afternoon was altogether tolerably favourable. The racing, which commenced at a quarter past two o'clock, was, for the most part, of the usual plating description, and of mere pas- sing interest, so that any lengthened dissertation on it would be quite useless. Of the thirty- two coloured on the card for the Stand Plate a lot of fifteen went to the post, of whom Atlas and Bolero were the leading favourites— the result being an easy vic- tory for the latter, who achieved his first victory at this meeting as a two year old in the Claremont Stakes, when in Mr Mundy's pos- session. Lord Westmoreland, by means of his Birch Broom, fol- lowed up his success in the Maiden Plate at Ascot by winning the Two Year Old Stakes to- day, the Broom being, of course, a hot favourite. Lord Westmoreland's run of luck is thus a continuous one, for he pulled off the same two races last year with Merry Hart. The winner, who was invested on at Tattersall's on Mon- day at 10,000 to 125 for the Derby was backed before the race to- day at 1,000 to 15; afterwards 50 to 1 was the highest offer. Dirt Cheap and Good for Nothing opened about equal favourites for the Innkeepers' Plate, but the former had a strong call at last, and winning in a canter, was sold for 210 guineas— an excess of 160 over her entered sellingprice— and goesinto Drewitt's stable. Much uncertainty ex- isted up to this time as to the likely runners for the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes, and it was rumoured that neither Stanton nor Canary— both of whom the persevering public would persist in backing beforehand— were likely to go to the post; and the rumour as regarded Mr Saxon's horse proved correct, although he was not formally scratched. Eventually eight runners were " telegraphed," and it was a nice point for a time as to favouritism between Canary and Buckenham. The latter, however, was in more request at, last, and Jem Goat. er landed Captain Bavile's colours to- day almost as easily as he did the Grand Prix de Paris the other week on Buckenham's half brother, The Ranger. Black Friar proved so far the best of the quartette that started for the Claremont Stakes, that he won by half a score lengths ; and Ossian— who opening first favourite was eventually superseded in the betting by Kennett— won the Hurst Stakes, and, entered for 40 sovs, was sold for 115 guineas. The easy victory of Bucken- ham for the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes led to many enquiries after The Ranger for the St Leger, the more so as the latter is said to be quite as good as Buckenham at even weights. The " Cup Day," as the second day at Hampton is somewhat grandiloquently termed by its patrons, when " Her Majesty's Plate " is annually run for, amidst all the " pomp and circum- stances" of a great event, attracted on Thursday last such a mass of spectators as completely eclipsed all former anniversaries. Owing to the disastrous weather, the attendance at Epsom on the Derby Day, it will be remembered, exhibited a most per- ceptible falling off from that of late years, and to this may, in a great degree, be attributed the unprecedented rush to Hampton. Many, doubtless, who out of prudential considerations debarred themselves of their annual holiday on the Surrey Downs, did so under the settled determination of" making up for it" OH Moulsey Hurst; and, judging from the uproarious hilarity which pre- vailed throughout the day, they certainly carried out their intention to the letter. From a very early hour a motley throng besieged the railway station, and the South Western Company certainly deserve credit for meeting the enormous demand on their powers of accomodation as they did. Trains, which filled instantaneously on their arrival at the plat- form, were despatched in rapid succession, enabling the greater portion of the thousands who preferred the speedier transit to arrive at the scene of action before the saddling bell had rung for the first race. The glories of the road were, however, by no means overlooked. A fevr aristocratic drags were, conspicuous amongst theramshackle vehicles that formed an uninterrupted linebetween the metropolis and the Hurst, along which was maintained a run- ning fire of chaff and badinage, slightly personal, perhaps, at times, but generally good humoured, and given and taken in ex- cellent part. If the toilettes of the ladies occupying the somewhat livery stable looking carriages lacked the elegance and grace so conspicuous at Ascot the other day, they certainly made up for it in general gorgeousness and brilliancy of hue, while the deportment of the ladies in question, whilst wanting, perhaps, in refinement, was decidedly affable— to say the least, of it. Apart from the business of the day, which in- terested, we should say, but a small proportion of the countless multitude, the attributes of the scene on the Hurst were more those of the holiday that whilholm was held at Green- wich at Easter and Whitsuntide, but which has been suppressed by the strong arm of the la w. Many of the holiday makers never got near the course at all, and many, we are convinced, returned to their hearths and homes as ignorant as to " what had won the Cup" as when they started in the morning. That the love for the national sport, however, was predominant even in the breasts of those who did not evince any interest in the events set down in " Lindsay's correct card" was proved by the spirit with which both lady and gentlemen jockeys entered into spirited en- counters on the miserable quadrupeds to be had " on hire" on the ground. It would, however, be encroaching equally on the pa- tienceof our readers and ourown space to enlarge upon the humours of a " Hampton Cup Day ;" although ever varying in detail the main features present the same stereotyped familiar aspect. Luckily the weather, although at one time threatening, was all that could be desired, and the day passed off with not more than the ordinary amount of disorder, which, taking the increased number present, is saying a good deal. The police had enormous difficulties in clearing the course, and it is fortunate that the ob- stinacy of the public in this respect did not lead to some serious casualties. After the horses had started for the first race, a car- riage horse that had got loose ran across the course and very nearly came in contact with the running horses, Custance being obliged to pull Welland round in consequence, his chance, however, not being materially interfered with. Mr Walton managed the meeting efficiently; and the officials, both in the weighing room and at the starting post, kept capital time. An additional item being on the card to day, the sport commenced half an hour earlier with the Visitors' Plate, for which seven of the five and twenty entered put in an appearance, " a pot" on Walloon being upset by Rosina, whose indifferent running the previous day prevented Mr Payne from investing very heavily on her. Whether, however, the lighter impost made " all the difference,'' or whether the filly was " in the vein'' for racing to day, she beat the favourite after a determined struggle by a neck. Of the entered sixteen for the Maiden Two Year Old Plate, five only were absentees, and Antoi- nette, by Chevalier d'Industrie out of Lizzie, who prior to the race had been disposed of by Mr Padwick to Lord West- moreland, was backed freely at 2 to 1, and thereby installed first favourite, and she justified the repute attached to her by sailing in three lengths ahead, and being claimed by Mr Reeves, who was second with Miss Herbert, she goes into his stable. A " splitting" race for the Railway Plate resulted in favour of Lord Westmoreland's King of Italy by a head from Cadiz and Zeloo, who ran a dead heat for second ; the winner, as in the previous race, " changing hands." These events decided, " Her Majesty's Plate" next claimed attention, and created some excitement even among those downright •' holiday folk" who up to this time had paid but little attention to the racing, for it is the " Cup Race'' of the multitude. Sundry movements during the day at the " lists" led to the supposition that " somethingwas wrong with CallerOu," for as much as 2 to 1 was laid against her at one time, while in many instances Millionaire was backed at evens. The notion that some- thing was wrong continued to be prevalent, and it was not until Aldcroft was announced to ride, and the mare was seen to go as " free as a bird," that confidence was somewhat restored, and she returned to " evens'' in the betting. Of the seven op- posed to her Millionaire was the only one worthy to start in her company, and she " walked away" from him as she liked, and literally cantered in. Mr W. I'Ansonwas not present himself, but his brother expressed much indignation at the liberties that had been taken with the mare, and we should certainly advise Mr I'Anson to inquire further into the origin of the " small game" played with Caller Ou on Moulsey Hurst. Loud shouts followed the victory of the Leger winner of ' 61, and Tom Aldcroft, who had never ridden at this uproarious meeting before, received an ovation that quite astonished him. The con- ditions of " Her Majesty's Plate," we must note, have this year been altered, asformerlythe winnerwas entered " to be sold for 500 sovs." In the year 1833 King William the Fourth, desirous to promote the amusement of the people, gave 100 sovs to be run for at Moulsey from the privy purse, and which was won by Lord Chesterfield's Tourist. The* following year Mr Theobald sent Rockingham to run for it, when the en try, consequent upon the appearance of such a formidable competitor, was so small that Rockingham walked over and naturally deprived the crowd of their anticipated plea- sure. His Majesty, on hearing this, directed for the future that the winner should be sold for 500 sovs, and which has been the means of carrying out his intentions. The fact of this race hav- ing been for so many years run under such stipulations proves that it was clearly not a King's plate, meant to be contended for by the best of horses. Such a course as that of Moul- sey is scarcely adapted for the performance of animals of great worth, and we are of opinion that the race should have been kept with its original design of promoting the pleasure of the Cockney crowd who annually visit Moulsey. The Richmond Plate gave Mr T. Hughes a turn by means of Flash in the Pan, who beat the selected Bolero very easily, and Mr Brayley's colours— successful yesterday in the Claremont Stakes— came out victoriously in the succeeding race, for Neil- gliery bowled over fourteen rivals for the Bushy Plate, and sold for 160 guineas, further enriched the fund, already pretty for- tunate. Ossian, who was sold, as already stated, the previous day, started for this race it was said without the knowledge or consent of his new owner, who was not present to- day himself. The Scurry ended the day's racing, and Flash in the Pan, ridden by Mr Coventry, achieved a second victory. The few bets on future events that came under our notice will be found below.

The flag fell to a somewhat straggling start. Bolero was the first to show in advance, but was quickly passed by Gem of the Sea, followed by Cadiz, Bolero, and Lord Burleigh ; Atlas and Wal- pole— the latter on the inside— heading the others. They ran nearly in these positions to the lower turn, when the leader gra- dually compounded, and outside the distance Bolero took a clear lead, with Cadiz in waiting, the top weight, lying next, and main- taining his advantage to the end won by a length and a half; four lengths separated the second and third; Atlas and Walpole were fourth and fifth, nearly abreast; Copia and Maubourquet next, Rosina last.

Peneus, Sevington, and Peru broke away and ran the course through, con- siderably delaying the start. When the fiag fell, Vigil and Rockley got off in front, Fitz Ruvter and the favourite lying next until soon after rounding the turn, where Dirt Cheap joined in front, and quitting her opponents at the distance, won easily by a length and a half ; three quarters ef a length between the second and third. Rockley was fourth, Good for Nothing next, and Peneus last. The winner was sold to Mr Wybrow Robertson for The SURREY and MIDDLESEX STAKES ( Handicap) of 10 sovs each, h ft, and 2 only if declared, with 100added; the second saved his stake; winners extra; two miles; 40 subs, 19 of whom pay 2 SOVK each.

Gibraltar made the running, Flash in the Pan taking close order with the leader on passing, the Stand, the pair being succeeded by Brian Boru and Truant, Gasconade bringing up the rear. Entering the far side, Canary and Buckenham took more forward positions, and in company with Truant ran at the girths of the leaders to the far turn, soon after rounding which Canary took a slight lead. Gibraltar gave way on entering the straight, and Truant dropping into the rear about the same time, Buckenham and Walpole became the immediate attendants upon the leader to the distance, where Mr Savile's horse deprived Canary of the command, and rail home the winner by two lengths, Canary beating Walpole for second place by a length and a half. Gibraltar was fourth, Flash in the Pan and Brian Boru next, side by side, Gasconade and Truant the last two.

The winner was sold to Capt Handley for 11.5 guineas. THURSDAY.— The VISITORS' PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs; winners extra; three quarters of a mile. Mr Payne's Rosina, by Newminster, 3 yrs, 6st.. J.

At the half distance Gem of the Sea dropped back and a good race ensued between Rosina and the favourite, Mr Payne's filly winning by a neck; three lengths separated the second and third. Walpole— whose saddle slipped round at the lower turn— was fourth, Gem of the Sea fifth, Maubourquet and Alcibiade next. A MAIDEN TWO YEAR OLD PLATE of 40 sovs ; colts 8st 101b, fil- lies Sst 71b ; the winner to be sold for 150 sovs ; if for 100 allowed 51b, 50 101b ; the second entitled co claim ; half a mile, t Mr Wake's b f Antoinette, by Chevalier d'Industrie, 7st llib ( 50 sovs) Custance 1 Mr Field's Miss Herbert, 7st 111b ( 50) J.

Betting: 2tol agst Antoinette, 5 to 1 agst Leila, 6 to 1 agst Verdiere, and 8 to 1 each agst Miss Herbert, Little Go, and Wee Aggie. Verdiere showed in advance for the first two hundred yards, when she was passed by Wee Aggie and the favourite. The latter then ran in close company to the distance, where Wee Aggie compounded, and half way up Antoinette came on by herself, and won by three lengths from Miss Herbert, who ran past her horses at the Stand into second place; Verdiere was beaten a length from Miss Herbert; Wee Aggie and Buckhound were fourth and fifth, close together, clear of the third; Leila and Little Go next, the Vedette filly last. The winner was claimed by Mr Reeves. The RAILWAY PLATE of 50 sovs, given by the South Western Railway Company, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for two and three year olds, with selling allowances, & c ; five fur- longs ; 12 subs.

King of Italy and Cadiz, 6 to 1 agst Columbine, 7 to 1 agst Kennett, and 100 to 8 agst Zeloo. The Idea made play, closely followed by Cadiz and King of Italy into the straight, where Kennett joining in front, obtained a slight advantage. At the distance, however, the latter gave way to Cadiz, who was challenged by King of Italy opposite the 8tand, and beaten by a head; Zeloo, who came with a rush at the finish, making a dead heat of it with Cadiz for second place; Kerinett was a good fourth, The Idea fifth, and Columbine sixth, The False Step whipping in. The winner was sold to Mr Jones for 180gs. HER MAJESTY'S PLATE of lOOgs; three year olds Sst, four 9st 71b, five 9st 131b, six and aged lost; two miles. Mr I'Anson's Caller Ou, by Stockwell, 5 yrs, 9at 131b T. Aldcroft 1 Mr Bryan's Millionaire, 6 yrs, lOst Custance 2 Mr J. Ward's Spitfire Kitty, 3 yrs, 8st J.

Angell's Reindeer, 5 yrs, 9st. 131b Perry 0 Betting: Even on Caller Ou, and 5 to 4 agst Millionaire. Neck- lace cut out the work, followed by General Outram and Brother to Abron, Caller Ou, pulling double, lying next, the other three just clear of the favourite, close together. On entering the far side Necklace increased her lead, and General Outram, with Brother to Abron, dropping into the rear before a mile had been completed, Caller Ou went on in waiting upon the leader, Mil- lionaire and Spitfire Kitty being close together at her heels, Rein- deer lying next. At the three quarter mile post Millionaire took close order with Caller Ou, and Necklace compounding half way in the bottom, Mr I'Anson's mare was left with the lead, with Millionaire in waiting. Further description is unnecessary, for Caller Ou, after entering the straight, quitted her opponent as she liked, and cantered in the winner by fifteen lengths, amidst tumultuous cheering. Spitfire Kitty was a very bad third; Neck- lace and Reindeer trotted in after a long interval, and the other two pulled up some distance from home, and were lost in the crowd. The RICHMOND PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs, for all ages; one mile. Mr T. Hughes's Flash m the Pan, by Pontifex, aged, 7st 101b Drew 1 Mr W. W. Baker's Bolero, 4 yrs, 7st 51b ( in- cluding 51b extra) J. Nightingall 2 Mr B. J. Augell's ch f Columbia, 3 yrs, 6' st 5lb Mordan 3 Mr Payne's Energetic, 3 yrs, 5st 121b G. Prince 4 Betting: 7 to 4 on Bolero, 9 to 2 agst Columbia, and 5 to 1 agst Flash in the Pan. Columbia made play, with Bolero in close attendance, Energetic third, with Flash in the Pan, pulling double, waiting upon his opponents. _ In the order named they ran last. In a rattling spin through blinding mud Garibaldi' beat four others for the Garswood Handicap, which, however, was claimed for the second, who did not get it. The forfeits for the Newton St Leger looked like again going to the Ashgill stable, until EastLancashire was pressed into the service and Comet had no difficulty in landing the entire stake ! Only the required number of starters were likewise forthcoming for the Gold Cup, which Wynnstay for the second year in succession pulled off for Mr Buckley, a staunch supporter of these meetings, and whose success appeared to give universal satisfaction, though we regret to say the cheering anent the same was sadly marred by what at the moment was apprehended to be a serious, if not fatal, accident during the race to Ratcatcher and Richards, his juvenile rider. A roadway crosses the top of the course, with openings in the rails on both sides, through one of which the horse endeavoured to bolt, and struck the; stift'post with great force, shot the boy clear from the saddle, and then, sliding as It were several yards from the spot, fell heavily on his side. In a few seconds ' he regained his feet, but again came down, bleeding from a severe wound in the fleshy part of the breast, as well as having cut his near fore leg down to the bone. On examination, however, the injuries were pro- nounced not of a fatal tendency, and, what was more fortunate, Richards, though carried in, was found to be merely shaken. When the excitement had subsided, the Cup was filled with wine, and health and long life drunk all round to its esteemed owner, who though now in his eighty- third year, wears as hale and hearty as ever, and expressed himself never more delighted in his life than in winning the trophy to- day, at the same time handing over a " pony'' as a present to Hopwood, his trainer. Of the other races it only needs remark that Prince Arthur landed the odds on him for the Sapling Stakes, in which one or two others ran likely to be heard of another day. Before taking leave of the meeting we should mention that a revision of the programme has been com- menced, the leading improvements of which are " The Great Newton of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, and 5 if declared, with 150 added;" " The South Lancashire Plate of 10 sovs each, h ft, and 3 if de- clared, with 100 added;" and " The Manor Cup of 100 sovs, in specie." Besides these, the bonuses to the Makerfield, the Gars- wood, and the Manor Handicaps have been increased from 60 sovs to 100 sovs each, so that it is certain next year's meeting will not be wanting in attractions, if not bringing home to Mr Bake the full meed of success he has so long and well endeavoured to deserve.

A num- ber of failures were caused by Curacao breaking away in front, and by Crisis refusing to go up in the rear, three quarters of an hour being thus wasted, when the flag fell to a capital start. Miss J ulia, on the inside, showed in advance, followed by Paddy O'Rourke and Mountain Buck to the half distance, when the latter took up the running and won bv a length; a neck between second and third. Curacao was a bad fourth, Alice Leigh fifth, Crisis sixth, the Blame filly next, and Inheritor last.

The favourite and Captain Knight ran in front to the distance, where the former swerved and compelled the pulling round of the other to the right, whereby Garibaldi, making most of the running, came in first by a length, twice as far dividing second and third, Nimble beaten off. At the scale the race was claimed for Captain Knight, on the ground of a cross, but on investigation the judge's award was confirmed.

The latter cut out the work two lengths in advance of his opponents, who ran side by side for nearly three quarters of a mile, after which the favourite took up the run- ning with a clear lead. Half way round the bend from the far side he was succeeded by the light- weight, who, however, next came in contact with a post, badly cut himself, and came down on his side, but fortunately only shook Richards, his rider. From this point it was all in favour of Mr Buckley's horse, who can- tered in a three lengths' winner. The GOLBORNE SAPLING STAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added, for two year olds: colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st 71b; winners of 100 sovs, & c, extra; the second saved his stake; straight half mile ; 17 subs. * Mr Osborne's ch c Prince Arthur, by Weatherbit, 8st 101b J.

Bake. Unfortunately at Newton racing has not kept pace with the generosity of its liiglily- respected chief patron, the lord of the manor, whose aid, nevertheless, is continued as freely as ever, in the hope of restoring the meeting to a form more worthy of a most excellent course. To this end, certain alterations for the best are now under consideration. There is no saying, however, even in the most extensively- supported places, what amount of mischief may not arise from unfavourable weather. For instance, anticipa- tions of passingly- fair races on this occasion were completely upset by heavy rain converting the running ground into pools of water, copious additions to which fell without ceasing during Wednesday afternoon, and for hours afterwards. The attendance consequently was below par, and scarcely a feature of interest was presented in the racing, which, owing to a walk over for the Great Newton- Handicap, and nothing being pulled out to face the home- trained Persuasion for the Golborne Park Stakes, was confined to three events only. That so rich a prize as the former should have been let slip, especially as three animals engaged were at hand, sur- prised many, the fact, however, being that certain movements beforehand kept one of the number more safe in the stable. All else noticeable on the first day was the pretty fair field showing for the Makerfleld Plate, in which Miss Julia ran with her usual gameness, but stopped to Mountain Buck, the winner, who was more at home in the dirt. On Thursday thunder storms reduced the course to deeper puddledom than ever, but did not deter the presence of a large muster of working people, upon a majority of whom sheets of wet literally coming down at intervals took no effect, and so remained at their " posts" to the ( BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

Stiff, Sir Watkin, and the Pretty Girl filly were fractious at starting, the latter particularly so, each several times breaking away. The favourite jumped off with the lead, followed to the straight by Sir Watkin, when Persuasion took his place, but never got up to Prince Arthur, and was defeated after a good race by half a length; four lengths between second and third; the others not near.

Mr Spriggs won the Farmers' Plate at Croxton Park and the Farmers' Handicap more fre- quently than any other farmer of the neighbourhood. He was the owner of Chance, the winner of the Granby Handicap; and also of Nottingham, which won the Scurry at Croxton Park, and the next day the Melton Plate; this latter horse was afterwards sold for l, 000gs. Mr Spriggs, who died at the advanced age of 84, had not been seen much upon the Turf of late. HEDGING TO IT.— While Blomfield was at Chesterford, it was the permanent annoyance of every Easter Day that a stream of carriages was passing through the village, giving it the appear- ance, and too much of the reality, of a noisy fair, while conveying the racing men of the day to Newmarket. It was only slowly that the Jockey Club was induced to alter the first day of the meeting to Easter Tuesday (?). The Duke of York, when applied to on the subject by Bishop Howley, declined to alter his practice, but added that " though it was true he travelled to the races on Sunday, lie always had a Bible and Prayer- book in the carriage!" — Memoir of the late Bishop of London.

THE KILLULTAGK HUNT.— Every one who has been in the habit of riding to heunds or attending the meets in this neigh- bourhood will hear- with regret of the death of " Pat Deasy,'' the well- known huntsman of the Killultagh Harriers, who died of in- flammation of the lungs recently. He was a, keen lover of the sport, and a sMlful and daring horseman; and there are many who read this who will recal days of pleasure and excitement, and rattling bursts across country, in which " Pat Deasy" led the way. Always eager to show sport, and unwearied in his exertions to contribute to the enjoyment of the field, the late huntsman of the KiUultaghs will be regretted by every rider to hounds in this part of Ireland, as well as by the Master and every member of tha hunt with which he was connected. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JUNE 14, 1863.

SAILING MATCH, JUNE 9.— This prosperous and well managed club has this year made a great step in advance, and has been enabled, by the liberal spirit of its members, to offer prizes to the amount of eighty guineas for competition in this match. The first prize, vai ued at 70 guineas, was a very handsome silver centre- piece, designed and executed by Benson, of Ludgate- hill, whose cas- ket, presented with thefreedom of the City to. the Prince of Wales, • was so deservedly admired. On one side of the base were the Eng- lish and Danish arms and the crest of the Prince of Wales, and on the other a ship and emblems of yachting, finely chased. These • were on rock work, springing from which were bulrushes support- ing the handsomely- chased dish. The silver weighed upwards of 50 ounces, and the prize was much admired. The second prize • was a handsome silver cup, value 10 guineas. These prizes were offered to yachts under 15 tons, a class which, though unpopular in some quarters, has always appeared to us to furnish the best sport, and to encourage most skill in amateurs. Course from Erith to the Chapman Head and back; time for tonnage, half a minute a ton. The prizes attracted a fine entry of eleven vessels, all of • which started. ATION. YACHT. RIG. TONS. OWNER. 1.

The Violet is said to be anew schooner, by Aldous. The Red Rover is from Yarmouth; the other vessels are or ought to be weli known to our readers. The morning wis somewhat threatening, a strong wind from the S. W., and a squally look overhead. The rain, however, had kept off until ' just before the start, when down came a smart shower, which lasted in its force full a quarter of an hour, and • did not entirely stop for nearly an hour. The vessels were to be in one line off Erith Church; the Violet cutter, however, was fifty yards above the others. The first gun was fired at 11: 3: 40. The violet cutter immediately took a strong sheer, and the Alexandra sailed about so that she seemed likely to drag, and the second gun was fired in very sharp time— 11: 8: 35, aud up went the sails. Bessie, being all clear, got a famous start; Alexandra and Folly were, we believe, in contact, and Violet not far off. However, in a few seconds all were clear, and got off pretty well, the rain pelting down pitilessly on them all. The Quiver soon came flying down on the Bessie, and passed her in Erith Rands. All by this time had set jib- headed topsails, and flew along merrily. Folly now showed out, and then Octoroon. Quiver, however, gained fast, and half way down Long Reach was 200 yards ahead. Bessie, Folly, and Octoroon were all together, Wasp 100 yards astern, then Violet schooner, Vision and Alexandra. The wind had now fallen to a light steady breeze, and Alexandra began to draw out. Just above Greenhithe a heavy squall came on, and the vessels heeled over fearfully. At Greenhithe Quiver was a quarter of a mile ahead, Folly next, and then Octoroon ; Bessie, Wrasp, and Alex- andra close together; Violet schooner and Red Rover were 200 yardsastern ; Aerolite andVioletcuttter last of ail. At Grays Folly • was gaining on Quiver, and Alexandra had passed Wasp and Bessie. Wind light again. After passing Northfleet all the fleet set big topsails, and Alexandra a huge balloon jib. Gravesend • was passed at 12: 3: 0. Hereabouts the sheave of the topsail sheet at the gaff end of the Folly gave way, and she had to send out a man to clear it and hitch on a tail- block. This allowed Octoroon to pass, and Quiver to get. a long way ahead. The wind was light in Gravesend Reach, but came on strong just before they jibed into Lower Hope. They flew down fast before the wind till the head vessels sudden!}' lost the wind, and one of those wonderful changes for which the Thames is celebrated took place. The hindmost vessels brought up a strong breeze. Wasp, Bessie, and Alexandra almost caught up the leaders. Oc- toroon got near Quiver, and Folly gained on both. Just at this moment a tremendous crack was heard from on board the Folly, even by the other vessels, and the Folly's crew soon found out that the head of the mainmast, a new stick this year, was sprung in three places. This was awkward, but not fatal. The topmast was sent down, and a reef taken in the mainsail, whilst all the others continued to carry their jib- head topsails. By this time the sky had cleared, and " a strong steady S. W. wind sprang up, which continued all the rest of the day. Alexandra had now passed into the third place, and obviously was likely soon to take the first. The little vessels tore fast through the water, every stitch drawing and doing its work. Alexandra gained fast and steadily and passed her antagonists successively to leeward; and we may men- tion that, except a short struggle between Bessie and Wasp, there • was not an attempt at stopping throughout the day. The steamer anchored about a mile below the Chapman Light, tide just flowing so as to keep her broadside on. The vessels all sent down their topsails to make snug for the beat back, and rounded the steamer as follows:— H. M. s. II. M. s.

Quiver and Octoroon were so close that Quiver very properly gave way to prevent a foul. The man at the helm of Folly slipped to leeward as she was rounding, and she very narrowly missed the steamer's stern. The flood tide had not raised so much sea as might have been expected, and the ves- sels made very good weather of it. They fetched one long board to the N., then crossed to the S. shore, and ran up along the Blyth in smooth water. There was something the matter with Quiver or else with her sails, and unlike the other boats of her country she could not go to windward, and was soon passed by Octoroon. Near the middle buoy of the Blyth, Bessie somehow stuck on the sand, and remained there till the rising tide floated her off. It was a very pretty sight to see the little vessels down on their sides tearing along through the smooth water at nearly equal intervals of about 100 yards, Octoroon leading, then Alexandra, then Folly, then Quiver, and Wasp coming on fast. Sea Reach and Lower Hope were crowded with an unusual number of barges, brigs, coasters, and yachts, and though this added to the animation of the beat up the Lower Hope, it must have added to the difficulties of working these little vessels through such a labyrinth. Here Folly, with her reef down, came up to Alexandra, and once got on her weather side, but never clear, and Alexandra got away again, and if we are not mistaken Folly found it neces- sary more than once, when on her right tack, to give way te Alexandra, in order to avoid a foul. In Gravesend Reach, Wasp, which had now passed Quiver, gained fast, and very nearly passed Folly. Octoroon was now full a mile ahead, and Alexandra • well ahead' of Folly, though the struggle between Alexandra, Folly, and Wasp was of the closest. The breeze held strong and steady, and they ran through the upper reaches at a tremendous rate, passing the flagboat off Erith pier:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M, S.

Some question was raised on behalf of the Alexandra as to the tonnage; however, it was overruled, and the first prize was duly presented by the Commo- dore ( Mr R, Hewett) to Mr Long, the second to Mr Parry. This is another great victory for the Southampton boats, the first, third, fourth, and fifth belonging to that port, find being sailed H. M. S. [ VIOLET ( sch)..

The Octoroon was sailed by John Diaper of Itchen Ferry, with the potent assistance of her builder, Hatcher, and piloted by Keeling of Gravesend. She seems improved since last year, and would apparently have been very formidable to the Folly, even if the Folly had not been partially disabled. The Folly was sailed by R. Penny of Southampton. The Alexandra is undoubtedly fast off the wind, but whatever she or the Vision might have done at Liverpool, they must be im- proved before they can beat the Southampton or Wivenhoe boats in the Thames. The Queen of the Thames was engaged by the club, and was well, but not uncomfortably, filled. The start from Blackwall, and the starting of the vessels, were both managed with exemplary punctuality and expedition, and the prizes were presented without any delay. In fact, the speed of the match, and the admirable management, had positively brought the day to a close too soon for the tastes of many of the" members who were out for a day and dance, and the steamer was taken a trip down to Greenhithe after the prizes had been presented; even with this, Blackwall was reached at the very satisfactory hour of 6: 15, and so ended the season of the P. W. Y. C., with one of the most agreeable days ( barring the early rain) in our records. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. SAILING MATCH, JUNE 10.— This club followed the plan adopted last year, and had two separate matches— one for third- class yachts, under 10 tons, and the other, called the extra match for vessels built before Jan 1, 1863, to sail in their usual cruising order, no balloon sails allowed. The time for tonnage in the Third Class Match was one minute a ton. The Extra Match was to be sailed in two classes, viz, yachts from 20 to 35 tons, and above 35 tons; each class to allow between themselves half minute time; the larger class, in addition to the half minute, to allow the smaller class one quarter of a minute time for every ton above 35 tons. The prizes in the Third Class Match were for the first boat a very handsome claret jug value 20 guineas, for the second boat £ 10; intheExtra Match, nrst boat a silver gilt jug and dish value £ 50, second boat £ 10. The ceurse proposed was, for the Third Class Match, from Erith to the Chapman Head and back; for the Extra Match, to the Nore and back. The following admirable entry was made, all the more remarkable as the extra match in the R. T. Y. C., on very similar terms, to be sailed on the follow- ing day, did not fill :— EXTRA MATCH.

Dermay The vessels were anchored in two lines off' Erith Church, the little boats highest, and it was arranged that the second gun for the extra match should be the first gun for the ether match. The morning was gloomy and lowering in the extreme, with a strong wind from the E. or E. 8. E., and just at the start a drizzling rain began. The matches having been quite apart, we will keep them separate in our account of tliem, beginning with the Extra Match, the first gun for which was fired at 11: 16: 50, the second at 11: 22. The Emmet let go and drove down, but did not seem to start. All made a trip to the N. shore, and the Volante, as soon as she had way on her, came about and got her mainsail up nicely in stays, and then crossed the bows of the fleet as they tacked at different times and places. The wind being E. and fresh, they were some time in getting their sails up and set, Volante and Emmet setting square- headed topsails, the others setting jib- headed topsails. It was a glorious sight to see all these fine cutters beating down Erith Rands in short tacks, aud many changes took place. Volante soon had to give the lead to Amazon, and then to Glimpse. At Purfleet the wind was ab » ut S. E., and light. Amazon was leading, then Glimpse, with Volante close by; then followed Avalon, Queen, Emmet, and Mars. The wind now fell very light, and all set square topsails; the vessels were hampered by brigs and coasters, and battling winds, and we rather think that at one time Glimpse headed the fleet; however, she was again passed by Amazon; then Volante passed both, and then Glimpse fairly passed Amazon. Gravesend was reached at 12: 55, Volante leading by two hundred yards, reminding one of old times, and showing that there was life in the old boat yet. Glimpse was about one hundred yards ahead of Amazon, the other four all together about a quarter of a mile astern, Mars last, and looking as little likely to win as any vessel ever seen. Suddenly she made a start, passed the Queen, shot to windward of the Emmet, and, after a short tack under Tilbury Fort, came out from the lee bow of Avalon, tacked, and passed across her bows into the fourth place; all these four were here close together, and formed a very pretty race. The wind now came out from the E. S. E. much fresher, and many changes took place. In the Lower Hope Volante was lead- ing, Amazon next, Glimpse, Queen, Mars, Avalon, and Emmet following; Queen gained steadily on Glimpse, and at last passed her. In this order they fetched down Sea Reach, and near Hole Haven the steamer anchored, tide having then nearly done. The vessels rounded her as follows:— H. M. s. VOLANTE 2 25 0 AMAZON 2 26 0 QDEEN 2 30 0 This was another of the remarkably close matches which this season has exhibited, and most exciting it was, every vessel having believers. If there were any which had not, they were Mars, Avalon, and Emmet. The wind was very light as the ves- sels lazily rounded the steamer. Most of them shifted jibs, but no balloon sails were allowed ; and here we may mention that in our opinion the manner in which Volante and Glimpse kept the lead in the short tacks was mainly due to their carrying middle jibs instead of big working jibs. About half way up Sea Reach the breeze freshened, and gave better hopes of an early re- turn to Erith ; the sun very unexpectedly stione out, and the rest of the day was bright, warm, and pleasant. Glimpse was gradually passed by each of those behind her, as she cannot run in light winds. Volante kept her lead for a long way, but, of course, time was terribly against her under the new tonnage laws, which have added ten tons to her, and Amazon had the same old enemy to dread. At length, however, Amazon got the lead, but in Long Reach Volante came gradually up and tried to pass to windward ; this Amazon would not allow, why, we can't imagine, as Volante never could have gained seven minutes between Greenhithe and Erith. However, down went the Amazon's helm and away they both shot to the Kent shore; there, as we are told, Volante's lee whisker took Amazon on the quarter, shoved her bow round, and sent her hard and fast ashore. Volante, of course, could not get clear, and her whisker scraped along the side of Amazon, tearing and breaking, till Volante too went ashore, and there they both stuck cheek by jowl. Any one would have thought that this was warning enough; but no, in Erith Rands Queen was now the leading boat, and, perhaps, was her time ahead of Mars and Emmet, when Avalon came up and tried to pass to windward, which Queen could not bear, put her helm down, and they too ran at the Kent shore, Queen, a little too close, touching and stopping about half a mile from the flag buoy; Avalon escaped, but of course was all behind. The steamer had run ahead to see the little boats come in, and those on board her knew nothing of the manoeuvres of Amazon and Volante, and were ludicrously perplexed to know where the leading vessels had disappeared to. The small remainder rounded the buoy close together as follows:— H. M. S. I H. M. s. I H. M. S. MARS 4 46 20 AVALON 4 47 23 GLIMPSE 4 47 40 EMMET 4 47 20 | 1 Several yachts running in to their moorings and not under con- trol recklessly crossed the bows of the racing vessels ; one of them actually drove the Emmet and Avalon out of their course and struck the Emmet's boom; most luckily the offender's bow- sprit did not catch in the Emmet's topping lift, or else an awkward accident must have happened. Barges, brigs, and billyboys never do these things, and why should yachts? The prizes in this class were not given, as it was alleged that a mistake had been made in the measurement of the Emmet, and that she ought to be 36 tons. We presume that she will be re- measured, but it was not done on that evening. The Volante came up about a quarter past five o'clock, with her ensign flying by way of protest against the Amazon, and we believe that the matter will have to be discussed. The Third Class Match will be very shortly disposed of. The starting- gun was fired at 11: 27, and the celerity with which their sails were run up had an almost ludicrous effect when seen immediately after the corresponding process in the large vessels. Vision had a reef down. Bessie soon after the start set her top- sail, and at once took the lead, followed by the Violet, which just managed to keep ahead of the Vision. In Long Reach all got up their topsails. In Gravesend Reach Vision was close upon Violet, but that famous little boat and her spirited owner still kept the lead. A boat was let go off Mucking, and was rounded by Bessie at 2: 14: 30; the others were some distance be- hind her. No material changes took place, and they reached Erith— H. M, S. I H. M. S. I H. M.

The first prize in this match was delivered to Mr Hedge b3' the Commo- dore, Mr Arcedeckne, and the second prize to Mr Harrison, the prizes in the other match being withheld for the present. The Queen of the Thames was engaged by the club, and was well filled with about two hundred members and their friends ; the captain, Mills, and the mate of this vessel are remarkably skilful and attentive. andthe eatables and drinkables were good, and abundantly supplied by Mr Dorling, the provedore. The steamer started punctually, and there was no delay or dawdling either before the start or after the vessels had come in. However, the day would have been too soon over, so the steamer was laid alongside Erith Pier, and an hour given to the company for the enjoyment of the Erith gardens, stick- throwing, Aunt Sally, & c. Even after this we were brought to Fenchurch- street by a quarter past seven o'clock, and we hope that the R. T. Y. C. will follow the example of the R. L. Y. C. and P. W. Y. C., starting from and coming back to Blackwall instead of to London Bridge, saving twenty minutes in the start and a good half- hour in the return; experto crede Roberto. We should add that dancing was kept up with great spirit on board, to the music of the Civil Service Volunteers' band., The monthly meeting of this club will be held at the Caledonian Hotel, Adelphi- terrace, London, on Monday, J une 15th, at eight o'clock p. m. precisely. The following gentlemen are proposed for election at the next meeting:— Messrs Francis Pry or, Clermont, Redruth, Cornwall ; Henry Harrison, 90, Gloucester- terrace, Hyde Park; Captain A. B. Brandram, 5, South- row, Blackheath, yacht Patsie, 20 tons; Mr William Wrench Towse, Fishmongers' Hall, E. C.; Captain Ferrand, Aldborough, Suffolk, yacht Clio, 43 tons; and Mr Charles W. Morice, 52, Gloucester- terrace, Hyde Park, yacht Whisper, 19 tons. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. SAILING MATCH, JUNE 11.— This was the second match day of the large and opulent, but unruly and unhappy, Royal Thames Yacht Club, and the usual liberal prizes had been offered for three matches. The first match was for second- class vessels, above 20 and not above 35 tons, the prizes being, for the first boat, a hand- some silver tankard, value £ 50; for the second boat ( if more than three started), a silver cup, value £ 20. The second match was for fourth- class yachts, below 12 tons, the prizes being, for the first boat, a silver jug, value £ 30; for the second boat, a somewhat diminutive silver cup, value £ 10. Prizes were also offered for an extra match between vessels which had never won a prize in the club ; but, somehow, this did not fill, and this was all the more mortifying as a similar match in the Royal London Yacht Club the day before had been most successful. Course: from Erith, round the Nore Light and back; time for tonnage, half a minute a ton. The following vessels entered :— SECOND CLASS. STATION. YACHT. TONS. OWNER. O. M. C. M. 1.

QUIVER —.. .. 12 Capt Chamberlayne The Vampire, Violet, and Folly did not start— Folly, because her mast was sprung on Tuesday, and the others probably because they thought they would be over- matched. The Waterlily was built, we believe, " by Wanhill some years ago, and was lengthened by him in 1856. The © thers are too well known to require de- scription. A gale of wind from the S. W. had blown in the night, and the tail of it was blowing in the morning; however, the weather was bright and clear, and the sun shone out cheerfully, though there were one or two slight showers during the morning. An unusual number of brigs, ships, tugs, & c, were coming down the river; and just before the start, a North Sea brig, desirous of making Erith without regard to intermediate objects, first put her jib- boom through a cutter- yacht's mainsail, and then lost the same jib- boom in contact with a stout collier. The first gun for the fourth- class match was fired at 11: 36: 50; the second at 11: 4- 3: 10, too late, but perhaps unavoidably so, as a tug and collier were coming through the line of yachts. Octoroon, not being in the tide, got broadside on in good time; and as the start was delayed she began to drag her anchor, but was just right when the second gun was fired, and made an excellent start. Quiver, at the other end of the line, was just wrong, and made a very bad start, which cost her two hours of work to recover from, if she ever did. Octoroon took the lead at once and kept it. All the vessels were terribly hampered by tugs and brigs in Erith Rands, and Quiver was driven all to leeward. Wasp's bowsprit broke in Erith Bands, and she at onoe gave up. Near Greenhithe Quiver came up to Bessie, which was second boat, and tried to pass to windward, but was stopped, and both ran over till they must have been very close to the mud. In 8t Clement's Bessie set a jib- headed topsail, and got away. The wind was well off the shore, and so made smooth water, or there would have been almost too much for the little vessels; as it was they flew along at a glorious rate, the deck and lee bulwarks apparently buried under water. When the vessels hauled their wind in Northfleet Hope there appeared a wonderful difference in the sails, Bessie's standing like boards, Quiver's mainsail all in a bag, and foresail all slack, and it appeared all up with the poor Quiver. Octoroon kept a long way ahead, and Bessie about 100 yards ahead of Quiver. At Hope Point Bessie sent down her topsail, and Quiver knocked down a reef. Off Thames Haven the Phantom and Emmet passed the little boats; the air was singularly clear, the sun shone brightly, and the yachts tore along fiercely, heeling over in the heavy puffs, and apparently buried, though it appeared afterwards that they took very little water on board. The Chapman Head was reached at 1: 40, and hereabouts Quiver at last passed Bessie to leeward. The unusual course was adopted of taking the little vessels on to the Nore, as they had come down so very fast. There was not so much sea out of the Medway, and the vessels made very good weather of it, rounding the Nore:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. OCTOROON 2 S » 30 | QUIVER 2 34 30 | BESSIE 2 35 20 The Aerolite seemed to have given up. Quiver had now two reefs down; Bessie, which must be wonderfully stiff, carried her whole sail. The wind had now come S. S. W., so that the vessels fetched up well. About halfway up the reach Bessie set a topsail, but could not catch up the Quiver, and after a splendid struggle they passed the winning buoy at Erith:— H. M. s. I H. M. s. I II. M. s. OCTOROON 5 38 20 | QUIVER 5 42 25 j BESSIE 5 44 3 Quiver being thus 40sec more than her time ahead of Bessie. Octoroon lias sailed exceedingly well in these matches, but she has been lucky, as Folly sprung her mast on Tuesday, and to- day Quiver made a bad start, and was terribly hampered by Bessie. Bessie is certainly an admirable little boat, and the manner in which she clears the water forward shows that her bows must be nearly what bows ought to be. Octoroon was sailed by Hatcher and Diaper, of Southampton ; Quiver, by an Itchen ferryman, whose name we cannot at this moment recollect. We now return to the second- class yachts. The first gun for them was fired at 11: 45, the second gun at 11: 50: 30. The strength of the wind, and the quarter in which it was, prevented the sails from being got up quickly, and Waterlily seemed all adrift. Phantom's sails were all set and trimmed, and off she went with two reefs down and a small jib. The others had one reef down, and Emmet had her topmast on end. In Erith Rands Emmet seemed to gain on Phantom. The pace down Long Reach was, of course, tremendous, and Phantom promised again to give one of her fast runs to the Nore. Gravesend was reached at 12: 40, 50 minutes from the start. It has been done in 44 minutes. In Gravesend Reach Emmet set a topsail, and Phantom was bound to follow the example. We have not much more to say of the run down, except that such speed was exhilarating to behold. Off the Chapman Head, Phantom at last passed the Octoroon, and the vessels rounded the N ore Light in slack water, or rather before it: H. M. s. I II. M. s. I II. M. s. PHANTOM 2 24 20 | EMMET 2 25 20 | WATERLILY.... 2 36 50 Phantom with two reefs down, Emmet with a jib- headed top- sail over a reefed mainsail. The vessels pointed well up Sea Reach, tearing through it at a wonderful pace. In Sea Reach Emmet seemed to gain on Phantom, but in the half- dozen boards up Lower Hope Phantom must have got more than half a mile ahead. In the lower part of Gravesend Reach the wind increased, and the vessels heeled over fearfully, but soon got the wind more free, and no further change took place till they reached Erith pier: H. M. S. I H. M. S. I II. M. 8. PHANTOM 5 18 20 | EMMET 5 21 10 | WATERLILY.... 5 46 25 Though we have related the matches separately, it will be seen from the time that the vessels were never very far apart, and that the Waterlily never caught up the three little boats. This is the fastest run on record, the whole journey out and home having been accomplished in 5h 27min 5usec by the Phantom, and as, including the tacks in the Lower Hope, the distance must have been 64 miles, and she had t © get her sails up at starting, it follows that she run nearly at the rate of 12 miles an hour the whole time. The Phantom has also the honour of having made the fastest run before this, she having done it in 5h 32min 45sec on the 18th of June. 1857, wind E. N. E. The was 2h 23inin 50sec going down. The Marina, on the 23d May, 1862, did it in 2h 15min. The Phantom was sailed by ber old captain, Tom Dutch, of Itchen Ferry, so that again all the prizes have gone to Southampton. Immediately after the winners had come alongside, Mr A. Cox, who officiated as president of the match, delivered the first prize to Mr Lane, this making the fiftieth won by the Phantom. There was no second prize in this class, as only three vessels started. Mr C. Long re- ceived the first prize in the fourth class, and Capt Chainberlayne the second. The Prince of Wales steamer was engaged by the club, and had not above 150 on board— the scantiest attendance we ever saw at a R. T. Y. C. match. However, this made it, perhaps, all the more pleasant for those who were there, and enabled the waiters to give their guests a chance of enjoying the excellent provisions of Mr Watts, the steward. In Sea Reach the Waterlily yawl was descried, and on nearing her, Lord Alfred Paget was discovered steering his noble vessel, and the sight was welcomed with loud cheers from the steamer, the band playing, " Should auld acquaintance be forgot," and then, " There is a good time coming, boys.'' The steamer found a very clear Pool, and landed her company at Lon- don Bridge at 7: 30. But we are surprised that this club should continue to start from London Bridge. The other clubs start from Blackwall, and having attended all the matches, we can confi- dently state that, if the steamer starts on the arrival of the ten o'clock train from Fenchurch- street, instead of ten o'clock from London Bridge, she will get to Erith 20 minutes sooner, even if the Pool is clear. At least, as much will be saved on the return, when the Pool is more likely to be crowded. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON. COWES, JUNE 11.— Arrivals: June 5, the Destiny, J. E.

Hobson has offered a prize of £ 100 to be sailed for by yachts belonging to the R. V. Y. C., from Cherbourg to Ryde. CLYDE MODEL YACHT CLUB. OPENING CRUISE.— The seventh annual opening cruise of yachts belonging to the members of this club took place at Gourock on Saturday, June 6, when the following yachts turned out for the occasion, viz— Screw steamer Valetta, the Hon. G. F. Boyle; Diamond, John Caton Reid; Reverie, F. Powell: St Kilda, James Cowper; Wayward, Sheriff Tennant; screw steamer Black Eagle, A. Sim; Ripple, T. L. F. Livingstone; Emily, Adam Teacher; Ida, R. B. Muir; Scud, J. G. Hamilton; Harriet, W. B. Ogilvie; and Armada, George Bell. Previous to starting the members and their friends, to the number of about thirty, breakfasted in the hotel, where ample justice was done to Mr Clark's cuisine. About eleven o'clock the starting gun was fired, and immediately replied to by a battery on shore. The squadron then weighed anchor, led by the handsome steam yacht Valetta, kindly granted for the occasion by its spirited owner, and on board of which Vice- Commodore Reid had hoisted his flag, they stood away for Dunoon, and as there was a fresh breeze blowing this was soon reached, the smart little clipper Ripple showing well to the front, and from all appearances she looks a likely craft for ' 63. On leaving Dunoon the signal was made " Make for Rothesay," and as the wind was rather lighter, the top- sails now made their appearance, and some nice little manceuvring took place with several of the yachts, each trying to weather the other. In some cases, however, this was, perhaps, carried rather too far, and the consequence was that an unwilling addition had to be made to the fleet by a punt being set adrift through making too friendly overtures to an erratic bobstay. This little fracas, how- ever, was soon remedied, and the aggressor punished by having an additional boat to tow for the rest of the cruise. On reaching Rothesay the Valetta brought to about the middle of the bay, and having hoisted the signal to " Part companj'," the yachts succes- sively rounded her stern, the Reverie leading, as usual. This finished the C. M. Y. C. opening cruise for 1863. SONS OF THE THAMES REGATTA. All those who were engaged in the Junior Four- oared Race on the 3d of June are requested to attend at the ; Feathers' Tavern, Wandsworth, at ten o'clock in the morning, on Monday, June 15, to meet Mr Playford, who will then give away the first, second, third, and fourth prizes, and entrance moneys, the protest against the Richmond Crew being very properly withdrawn. This will settle up all claims on the fund of the regatta, and we hear that a small balance will remain inthehandsof MrPlayford ( when allsub- scriptions promisedarepaid), whichlie will gladly handoverto any gentleman or committee who will undertake to carry on the Sons of the Thames regatta for another three years, or to the Thames National Regatta fund if they will in future give extra prizes open only to young men ( novices) who reside on the banks of Old Father Thames. HENLEY- ON- THAMES ROYAL REGATTA. This regatta, which is fixed for Thursday and Friday, June 25 and 26, promises to be unusually brilliant. As the entries do not close till Saturday next, June 20, nothing can be known as yet for certain, but we understand that at least three eights from the Uni- versity of Cambridge, and one, if not two, from Oxford, are in training, while London and Kingston are also sure to be repre- sented. Eton and Radley will again appear to strive for the Ladies' Plate, and there is rumour, too, of another large founda- tion coming to the fore. Most of the above- named eights will also produce their fours, and that, with the expected large muster of pairs and scullers, will supply races which will scarcely be com- pressed into the usual two days. OXFORD UNIVERSITY B0AT~ CLUB- PAIR- OARED RACE.— The annual races for the silver pair oars held by Messrs Woodgate and Champneys of Brasenose, took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 9 and 10. The trial heats were rowed on Tuesday, and in the first Messrs Roberts and M. Brown of Trinity contended against Messrs Carr ( Wadham) and Awdry ( Balliol). Mr Carr's boat, which had the second station, was greatly the favourite, and up to the Gut gained considerably, but under the Willows the Trinity pair settled down to their work, and eventually won by 3sec. In the second heat Messrs Harris and Pocklington of Brasenose were pitted against the Messrs Seymour of University. The latter were, however, no match for the Brasenose pair, who, having first station, drew away at starting, increased their distance, and won easily. The final heat was rowed on Wednesday evening, when Mr Pock- lington again had first position. Mr Brown gained steadily up to the Gut, where the bad steering of Brasenose still further as- sisted him. Under the Willows, however, Mr Pocklington's boat went away, but a fine spurt on the part of Mr Brown again, aided by the bad steering of his opponents, landed Trinity win- ners by nearly 2sec. The result, although not to be won- dered at after the success of the winners against Messrs Awdry and Carr, two University oars, was a great surprise to many, and 2 and 3 to 1 on the Trinity men found no response. Messrs Carr and Awdry having challenged the Brasenose pair for the prizes attached to the second place, viz, silver medals, the race took place on Thursday evening, June 11, when the latter proved easy victors. AQUATICS AT CAMBRIDGE. MACNAGHTEN SCULLS.— The bumping race for these sculls ( presented to the First Trinity Boat Club by its former captain, Mr E. Macnaghten) was rowed on Tuesday, and the time race on Wednesday. The following eight gentlemen entered :— G. Lambert I W. Paget II H. W. Moore 1 D. Gillespie \ T. N. C. Davies J M. Gibson J R. Ramsden J | T. Rankin | Gillespie ran into some barges at Ditton ; Paget was bumped at Ditton, Moore at the Willows. In the next race Davies was upset by the weeds, and in the next race Lambert was bumped by Gib- son. The time race was rowed next evening, when Gibson won easily by about 25secs, Rankin being second, and Eamsden last. The time was 9min 8see. CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. ' The final deposit in the long- talked- of international match for the Championship of theThamesand £ 200a side, between Richard A. W. Green of Sydney, New South Wales, and Robert Chambers of Newcastle, was staked on Thursday evening, June 11, in the presence of a great number of spectators, at Harry Kelly's, the Bells, Putney. Both the men were present and looked remark- ably well, Harry Clasper, Winship, Teasdale Wilson, Cooper, Mr Laidler, and many others representing the north country; while there was of course a large show of Londoners. Important as the match necessarily is there has been but very little money laid out, the Australians requiring longer odds than " canny New- castle" feels disposed to lay, although we understand that the re- presentatives of the new country are prepared to lay any amount of money if they get the price they ask. Green has been staying the whole of the time since his arrival in England at Harry Kelly's, under whose care he has got more into our style of rowing, his pulling at first being very un- gainly. No two men could have worked harder than Green and Kelly have done ; in fact, the Fulham hero has brought himself into the best of condition in looking after the Australian, who is in the best of health, and very confident. Chambers has, of course, been under the direction of his old mentor, Clasper, assisted by Edwin Winship, and accompanied by them left Newcastle on Saturday, June 6th, and, as usual, took up his quarters at the Feathers Tavern, where he also has been constantly rowing. He is as well as passible, but if report speaks the truth, will have to row his best to beat his opponent. Green has dis- carded the tubular boat which he had sent over, and will row in one built by Biff'en, which has been named the " Rose of Den- mark;"' while Chambers will use the " Princess Alexandra" again. The usual number of steamers will accompany the match, leaving London Bridge about twelve, and amongst ethers are Citizen A, the umpire's boat, the profits of which go to the losing man. Chambers, Clasper, and Winship have engaged Citizen K, and Kelly and Green secured Citizens B, L, and P, while other public favourites will, of course, have their boats. The referee is to be appointed at a meeting to be held on Monday, at noon, at Mr Laidler's, the New Inn, Old Bailey. The men are to row the usual course, and start at two o'clock on Tuesday, cutters keeping astern, & c, & c. THAMES ROWING CLUB.

NAUTILUS ROWING CLUB. The junior members of this club rowed a pair- oared race in gigs, with coxswains, on Saturday, June 6, for cups presented by the club. Three boats started, and the race, which was rowed up, resulted as follows:— 3. . T. Lucas, W. T. Perkins. J. Ridpath ( cox) ( blue) 1 2. J. J. Darley, F. Thomas, C. Dlckins ( cox)( yellow) 2 1. W. G. Scott, W. Goody, W. Shenton ( cox) ( red) 3 Yellow took the lead, closely followed by Red, Blue bringing up the rear. At the Star and Garter, however, the latter went into first place, gradually drew ahead, and won by about six lengths. Red and Yellow rowed a neck and neck race up to the Point, where the latter gave in, losing second place by many lengths. Mr D. Richardson was umpire in the club four. DUBLIN BAY SUBSCRIPTION CUP. The second heat for this cup was sailed on the 3d June, and if possible under even more favourable circumstances of wind and weather than on the previous occasion. The wind was a nice steady breeze from W. N. W., just sufficiently strong to insure a rapid race without preventing the racers from carrying their largest canvas, while, from its direction, the long beat up from the Kish lightship to East Bar buoy showed their weatherly qua- lities better than a mere run or reach. The sun shone out warm and bright; and the number of yachts accompanying the match made the scene most beautiful and animated. Only four yachts came to their stations, as previous experience had convinced the owners of the schooner and of the three smaller cutters how slight their chance would be on such a day. The Echo had the westward buoy, next her Banba, Storm, and L'Eclair in order of their names; but as the wind was quite free out of the harbour, and to the lightship, one station was as good as the other. At two o'clock the first gun was fired to make ready, and at 2: 5 exactly another gun, the signal to set head- sails and go. Echo was first round the pier head, L'Eclair next, Banba and Storm together, all under balloon topsails except L'Eclair, and, under the condi- tions of the race, with booms either in their foresails or big jibs; wind dead aft, and they kept close together, going very fast with a strong ebb tide under them. The Storm drew out from the rest, and rounded the lightship one minute and a half ahead, the other three going round in a cluster— Echo next the ship, L'Eclair outside. It was then in large topsails with all except L'Eclair, and a close haul on the wind toward the point of Howth on port tack, but, feeling the ebb tide still going to the southward, all soon went about, and on the first tack Echo weathered L'Eclair. On the next, however, L'Eclair fairly eat her out of the wind, and from this point the race was no longer in doubt, as L'Eclair held a better wind than the rest, and increased her lead each tack. She rounded the South Bar buoy at 5: 5, from which there was a two mile run to the harbour S. by W., and went beau- tifully, accompanied by a crowd of other yachts and by the Kingstown steamer, which came out of the river at the very nick of time to give her passengers a view of the race. The flag- ship ( Gitana) was reached— L'Eclair, 5: 22; Echo, 5: 30; Storm, 5: 35: 50 ; Banba, 5: 40: 6 ; L'Eclair thus winning easily. She has now won the cup twice in succession, and should she be again successful on June 10, she will have per- formed the task set for her, viz, that of doing so the greatest num- ber of times out of four heats ; but if any of the others manage to get in before her on that occasion, the final heat will be sailed on the 9th Sept, when the yachts engaged will be returning to their home quarters after the regattas in the Channel, to the first of which, at Queenstown, on the ISth J une, all the best of our clip- perr are bound. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION- THORPENESS, THURSDAY NIGHT, JUNE 11.— At one a. m. this morning signals of distress were seen burning from a vessel in the direction of Sizewell Bank. It was blowing a heavy gale of wind from the S. S. W. at the time. The Ipswich lifeboat, belong- ing to the National Lifeboat Institution, stationed at this place, was immediately launched through a very heavy sea, and pro- ceeded to the rescue of the vessel's crew. On nearing the wreck both her masts fell with tremendous violence, and it was with the greatest difficulty the six poor fellows on board were hauled into the lifeboat. Indeed it was an awful moment. The lifeboat shipped at the time a very heavy sea, which carried away one of her noble crew, but who fortunately regained the boat by means of his lifebelt and a line. The splendid lifeboat behaved admir- ably on the occasion. The cost of the boat was presented about twelve months ago to the National Lifeboat Institution by the town of Ipswich, and she has since then been the means of res- cuing two shipwrecked crews from an inevitable death. The Royal Thames Yacht Club has again this year sent to the National Lifeboat Institution its usual kind contribution of £ 10. This important club presented some years ago to the institution the cost of the Walmer lifeboat. That boat has on two or three occasions been the means, under very perilous circumstances, of rescuing shipwrecked crews on the Goodwin Sands. CAXTON ROWING CLUB.— The seventh annual race of this club will take place on Saturday, June 20, and not the 30th, as pre- viously announced, for silver prizes for first beat ( presented by Capt W. C. K. Clowes and W. Clowes, jun), and gold rings and money prizes for the others. List of crews:— 1. Yellow: H. Bates, J. Poulter, F. Cross ( cox). 2. White: C. Lefort, G. White, H. Lloyd ( cox). 3. Blue: J. Fuller, W. Hill, J. Holman ( cox). 4. Green: H. Newton, W. Paul, G. Chapman ( cox). 5. Red: H. Hall, W. Stotesbury, V. Hall ( cox). The numbers denote the stations, commencing from the Surrey shore. The steamboat Rifleman will leave Lambeth Pier at four o'clock precisely, and accompanying the race, which starts from Putney at five o'clock and finishes at Chiswick Ait, afterwards proceed up the river, call- ing at Kew. The brass band belonging to the firm of Messrs Stevens, Darlington Works, Southwark Bridge- road, will be in attendance. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— The match of the Societe des Rogates Parisiennes, annulled April 19 from want of wind, has been fixed for to- day, June 14. The new yacht Ariel, Mr John Arthur, con- structed in the Lombard yard at Argenteuil, made a trial trip on Sunday, June 7, when, although not fully complete in her fittings, she proved herself a fast boat. She is 36 feet 8 inches long over all, and has fine lines; she is rigged as a sloop, and has very large sails. Marseilles Regatta, fixed first for May 14, and then post- poned to June 14, has now been definitively fixed for June 21, according to the desire of Vice- Admiral Bouet- Willaumez, who is to preside over the § fest. ivities. The Cercle des Yachts de Paris had a match on Sunday, June 7, at Argenteuil. The distance was three times round the basin, altogether about 11J miles; and the first prize in the first series was won by the Marie Gabrielle; the first prize in the second series by the Atalante; and the first prize in the third series by the St Louis. Among coming French aquatic events the following may be noted :— Labouille Regatta, July 26 ; Dieppe Regatta, Aug 2 : La Rochelle Regatta, Aug 2; Aroachon Regatta, Aug 9 ; Royan Regatta, Aug 15 and 16; Rouen Regatta, Aug 15; Caudebee Regatta, Aug 23 ; Havre Regatta, Aug 23; Quillebeuf Regatta, Aug 30; Boulogne Regatta, Aug 31; Fecamp Regatta, Sept 6 ; Marseilles Regatta, Bept 6. LEGAL QUAYS REGATTA.— The sixteenth regatta among the Legal Quay watermen came off on Saturday, June 6, in honour of Her Majesty's birthday, and was very numerously attended. It was for money prizes, and, as usual, under the direction of R. Hamilton, who conducted it satisfactorily. The distance in the heats was between the Eel Chain and St Katharine Dock, twice round. There was some excellent racing in all the heats, the race being eventually won by little Goggin, who rowed so well two or three years ago for Doggett's Coat and Badge. First heat: T. Goggin 1, T. M'Larty 2, C. Randall 3. The winner had the lead all the way, and played with his opponents.— 8econd heat: 8. Thorrington 1, W. Riley 2, H. Lineman 3. This was a good race, won eventually by three or four lengths. The four beaten men in the above heats then contended for a place in the fourth heat, and Riley and Randall, coming in first and second, rowed with the winners of the first heats, Goggin and Thorrington, and the two latter winning, contended in the final heat, when, after a capital race, Goggin won by only two lengths. BEDFORD REGATTA.— A meeting of the committee for conduct- ing this regatta was held at the Swan Hotel, Bedford, on Monday evening, June 8; Mr T. W. Pearse in the chair. The Lord- Lieutenant of the county has offered a cup, of the value of £ 10 10s, to be rowed for, and the following cups will also be competed for: — A challenge cup ( for fours), open to the river, of the value of £ 21; a scullers race, open to the town, for a cup of the value of £ 5 5s ; an amateur scullers race, open to the world, for a cup of the value of £ 5 5s; an amateur pair race, under similar conditions, for a cup of the value of £ 10 10s; and an amateur fours, under similar conditions, for a cup of the value of £ 21. A number of gentlemen from a distance have intimated their intention to contend for the cups. It is also understood that some of the Bedfordians themselves have formed a club for the promotion of rowing in the neighbourhood. YACHT- BUILDING AT NORWICH.— The two yachts te which allusion was made recently as being in course of construction on the banks of the Yare, near Norwich, have been launched. One is a schooner, built by Mr Hobrough for Mr W. Jecks, of Nor- wich, a member of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, and intended to be named, it is understood, the Dream. She is now being fitted preparatory to commencing her future career, which pro- mises hopefully. The other vessel is a cutter, built by Mr S. Field for Mr Walter Steward, of the Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club, and named the Glance. This yacht, which is smaller, of course, than the schooner, is also being fitted, and will doubtless appear at the regatta of the Norfolk and Suffolk Club at Cantley on Thursday, at which there is expected to be a strong muster. SURREY AMATEUR ROWING CLUB.— On Saturday, June 6, a four- oared race was rowed by the members of this club. There were three crews entered, viz:— Red: T. Dighton 1, W. Shepard 2, W. Oliver 3, C. Greenshields 4. J. Wessell ( cox); Blue: J. Ellis 1, C. May 2, H. Cooper 3, H. Uncles 4, R. Bruce ( cox) ; White: J. Griffith 1, J. Badge 2, H. Hill 3, W. Hill 4, H. Lloyd ( cox). The course was from the Albert Tavern to Westminster Bridge. At the start Red got oft first, closely followed by Blue, White being last; down to Chelsea Suspension Bridge Red and Blue were level, but at Pimlico Pier Red got clear away, and White drew level with Blue, but were unable to pass them, and so close was the race that Red only won by a length from Blue, who was the same distance from White. ST JOHN'S, HORSELYDOWN, REGATTA.— This regatta will take place on Thursday, July 23, when a new free boat, with sculls ( presented by Mr Sidney) and back board, will be given to the first man, the others receiving money prizes. The race is to be rowed by six free watermen, and decided in five heats. Tlie names of the men, who have been chosen by ballot, are as under :— First heat : C. Blackwell, Horselydown Stairs ( dark blue and white) ; A. Palmer, Horselydown Old Stairs ( yellow) ; J. Morris, George's Stairs ( green). Second heat: W. Honeyman, Horselydown New Stairs ( light blue) ; T. Wright, Horselydown Old Stairs ( red) ; J. James, George's Stairs ( pink). The remaining heats will be rowed as in the usual five heat wagers. SOUTH LONDON ROWING CLUB.— The first four- oared race of the season will be rowed on Monday, June 22, from Putney to Barnes, starting at four o'clock p. m., for club prizes, between the following crews:— Red: Messrs W. Bellenie, H. Hobbs, J. Fair- brass, W. F. Williams. White: Messrs C. W. Bryant, W. Ship- way, J. Lee, W. Kinchen. Blue: Messrs H. Coombes, J. Nicholls, E. Gregory, C. G. Hobbs. The coxswains to be chosen and bal- loted for previous to the day of the race. The Venus steamboat ( Capt Styles) will accompany the race, leaving Old Swan Pier, London Bridge, at two o'clock p. m., calling at all other piers up to Putney. IPSWICH REGATTA.— A^ meeting, convened by circular, was held at the Town Hall, Ipswich, on Tuesday evening, June 9, to take steps to get up a regatta on the Orwell this year. Mr J. P. Cobbold was in the chair. It was proposed by Mr A. Cobbold, and carried unanimously, that it was desirable to hold a regatta on the Orwell during the present summer. A long discussion took place as to the day, and eventually Thursday, Aug 6, was fixed upon, notwithstanding that the yachtsmen present said it would be extremely inconvenient to them, Walton- on- Naze- the Regatta being fixed for the previous day, Aug 5. A committee was then appointed to determine on the details. ARUNDEL ALLIANCE ROWING CLUB.— The members of this , club rowed their first race this season in fours on Tuesday, June 9, from Putney to Barnes. The Venus, as usual, accompanied the race with a large party on board, and the match terminated as under:— Pink: F. Blackwell, A. E. Smart, T. Burns, J. Cole, H. Waghorn ( cox), 1; Red: J. May, T. Cotter, J. Hobbs, J. Hick- man, J. Burrell ( cox) 2 ; Blue: T. Peat, E. Smith. J. Guest, R. Allen, J. Holding ( cox) 3; Orange: C. F. Hood,; J. Tewson, A. Stanway, H. Sheridan, E. Holding ( cox), 4. All the boats had prizes. The race was not very exciting as far as regarded the first boat, as they went right away from the first; there was a good race between the second and third boats all the way, Red beating Blue two lengths. DREWITT AND WILSON.— The middle match of the three which is between George Drewitt of Chelsea and Teasdale Wilson of Newcastle, comes off on Wednesday, June 17, and will, no doubt, prove a very good race. Drewitt is working hard at Mr Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes; and Wilson at the Feathers. Chambers, Clasper, and Winship have engaged Citizen L for this match, the final deposit in which is to be made on Saturday night, J une 13. COOPER AND EVERSON.— The whole of the money in this match, for £ 100 a side, is now down, and the race will be rowed on the 18th of June. Cooper is staying with his fellow- townsmen at the Feathers, and Everson is at the Duke's Head, Putney, both men working hard. They are in excellent health, and no doubt the race will be an exceedingly good one. Betting is slightly in Everson's favour. GREENWICH APPRENTICES REGATTA.— The draw for the Greenwich Watermen's Apprentices Regatta took place on Monday, June 8, at Mr Young's, King's Arms, King- street, Greenwich, when the following obtained lots. East End Men : F. Royal ( red), C. Fraser ( dark blue), H. Cunningham ( yellow). West End Men: Thomas Scarf ( light blue), W. Webb ( green), F. Blackmore ( pink).— Manager, Alexander Lowe. DOVER AND CINQUE PORTS REGATTA.— The committee have found it necessary to alter the date fixed for this regatta, which it is now arranged shall take place on Wednesday, Sept 2. The com- mittee is under the presidency of Sir L. Sinithett, and there is every prospect of the regatta excelling all preceding ones. The prizes will shortly be advertised. ROWING ON THE NENE.— A rowing club has been formed at Peterborough, and two four- oared boats have arrived from Cam- bridge, one of which has been in constant use since its arrival. A neat dress has been chosen for the members of the club, viz, white flannel trowsers, blue and white striped shirt, and scarlet cap. CORSAIR ROWING CLUB.— A steamboat will accompany the four- oared race of this club, on June 20, from Putney to Hammer- smith, and will leave Lendon Bridge at 3: 25. The race will start at five o'clock, and the boat will also accompany some of the many other club races fixed for the 20th. G. Crandley of Hammersmith will row C. Conet of the Custom House from Putney to Mortlake, for £ 25 a side. A match can be made at Mr Kenah's, Chancellor Tavern, Hammersmith, or an answer through Bell's Life will be attended to. The Pride of Westminster Rowing Club's second four- oared race of the season, for gold rings and silver oars, will take place from Old Battersea Bridge to Lambeth Suspension Bridge, on Monday, June 22, at seven o'clock, p. m. OXFORD DOLPHIN ROWING CLUB.— We understand the annual races between the members of this club are fixed to take place on Monday and Tuesday, July 6 and 7. Entries close June 22. CHILDS AND DIXON.— For this match we have received a fur- ther sum of £ 2 10s a side, and a similar deposit is to be made at Mr Dixon's, Homeward Bound, Commercial- road, June 15. MAY AND STRATFORD.— For this match we have received a fur- ther sum of £ 5 a side, and the final £ 6 a side is to be deposited at Mr Pritchard's, Two Saw3' ers, Palace- road, Lambeth, June 15. DEATH OF MRBELFOUB.— On Monday afternoon, June 8, an in- quest was held at the Boileau Arms, Bndgewater- road, Hammer- smith, on the body of Mr Edmund Belfour, late vice- president of the London Rowing Club, whose body was found in the river on Saturday morning, June 6. The jury having been sworn, Henry Kean said he was a waterman, and hearing on Thursday morning that Mr Belfour's boat had been found near the Crab Tree, and that that gentleman was missing, he searched for the body, and found it on Saturday morning, nearly opposite the oil mills at Chiswick. The deceased bad on a shirt, socks and shoes, but no trowsers. The only marks upon the body were scratches on the forehead and nose. The shirt was a dark striped woollen shirt.— John Wager deposed thaton Thursday morning he was engaged in loading a barge at Stagg's Dock, near Craven Cottage, about a quarter past seven, when he observed a gentleman rowing down in an outrigged wager boat. He had on a dark shirt and dark trowsers. Witness looked across the river about five minutes afterwards, and saw a boat floating down with the tide, about thirty or forty rods from where lie had seen the gentleman rowing. The boat was upright and the right hand scull in its proper place. The other scull was floating some few yards off. While witness was looking he observed a man's head and shoulders rise to the surface of the water and then imme- diately sink, but rose again, and the person threw up his arms, and| criedout, " Oh!" He then sunk, and witness saw him no more. Witness hailed a young man, who shortly afterwards rowed down, and picked up the boat, and took it to Putney. The person in the boat was sitting quite still when witness saw him, his arms resting on the sculls, which were out of the water; he was look- ing into the bottom of the boat, apparently in deep thought. It was a quiet morning, and the boat seemed perfectly steady.— Frederick M'Mahon, boatman to the London Rowing Club at Putney, proved having assisted Mr Belfourinto his boaton Thurs- day morning, he having on at the time a pair of brown flannel trowsers, as well as the garments found on his bedy. The boat was a large outrigger belonging to the club. It was brought back about half- past seven by a young man who gave the name of Harris, of Brentford. The boat was perfectly dry, and did not appear to have been turned over.— The coroner said that it was im- portant that the man who first had the boat in his possession after it was empty, according to the evidence of the first witness, should be in attendance, and he thought it advisable to adjourn the inquiry for that purpose. The jury met again on Tuesday evening, when the inquest was resumed, and the lad Harris, who took the boat to Putney, proved that it was quite dry when he found it. He fancied he saw something splashing in the water just before he got to the boat, but could not distinguish what it was.— Mr J. Ireland, one of the treasurers of the London Rowing Club, stated that he saw the deceased gentleman, Mr Belfour, on the morning of the accident, when they walked down to the boathouse to- gether. Mr Belfour was not an expert sculler by any means, and he ( Mr Ireland) thought he had probably over- balanced his boat in trying to re- adjust his trowsers, having unbuttoned them most probably at starting to row. Deceased was not a good swimmer either. He ( the deceased) as vice- president of the London Rowing Club, took a great interest in the crews that were practising for the Henley Regatta, and had gone out on the morning he was drowned to see them training.— The coroner having summed up, the jury returned the following verdict:—" That the deceased, Edmund Belfour came to his death by drowning in the River Thames.'' The inquiry then terminated. ANGLING. Do SALMON FEED ?— Sir: The other week I saw in BeWs Lif an account of the stomach of a salmon exhibited by Mr Flinn, which contained several parts of a small fish. When I read the paragraph I was perfectly convinced of its veracity, and had no idea that its truth would be ca lled in question. I have seen many thousands of salmon cut up, and have frequently found food in their stomachs, consisting of small trout, smolts, eels, and herrings. What do those persons opposed to these facts imagine the salmon to live on ? We are aware that the fry that are hatched artificially require to be fed as soon as the conical bag attached to the belly is exhausted; we are also aware that many salmon are caught with minnow, garvie herring, and artificial baits. Do the no feeding parties suppose that salmon swallow these baits only for the purpose of being caught? We are also aware that in a river where minnows are numerous salmon keep much longer in good condition than they do in rivers where no minnows are found. We could produce many proofs that salmon do feed, but will conclude by stating that Bell's Life and Mr Flinn are quite correct, and that the opposite party must yet fish for informa tion.— Y. THAMES ANGLING PRESERVATION SOCIETY.— The committee at their last meeting unanimously appointed W. H. Brougham, Esq, Gothic Villa, Isleworth, as their honorary secretary, in the room of the late Henry FarilMk Esq. The appointment of any one as the successor of theTate honorary secretary must be re- garded as a compliment, as he devoted his whole time and energy in promoting the success of the society. For the last few years, however, he has been assisted in his work by Mr Brougham, who, in succeeding to the office, will, we have no doubt, be actuated by the same feelings which have so highly distinguished his prede- cessors, and under his management we hope the society will con- tinue to grow in importance, and receive the cordial and extended support of the angling public. TROUT FISHING IN RAPID STREAMS.— We beg to call the at- tention of our readers to a neat little book just published by Mr Tucker, of South Molton, written by Mr H. C. Cutcliffe, who was a pupil of that celebrated fisherman, the late Dr Thome. Mr Cutcliffe stands high as a trout fisherman, and his book is written in such a plain and explicit manner that it deserves, as it will doubtless obtain, a wide circulation. THE ROYAL BLACKHEATH GOLF CLUB. The annual competition for the summer medal took place on Thursday, " over the usual course, 1' at Blackheath, and although the number who strove for the honour of holding the distinction that winning conferred was but small ( only six entering), those who did compete were gratified by a splendid day's golfing. The wind was rather high, adding thereby materially to the ne- cessity of the increasing judgment required to go the distance, as the committee selected a more than usually difficult course, agreeably ( to a good and enthusiastic golfer) diversified with beyond the average number of knolls, sandpits, and other hazards, of which the overcoming constitutes the best player. Our remarks upon the difficult nature of the ground will be borne out by a re- ference to the score, as the numbers made were much beyond the average, especially in the first round. The play of Mr Hayter Reed was, however, an exception to this, but that gentleman has so intimate and lengthened an acquaintance with all parts of the heath, whether at golf or cricket, that he knows where, when, and how to make his mark effectually. He played the first round even with the champion, as we must fain call Mr George Glennie, but then fell off considerably, as will be observed. Mr Adamson, for so young a player, well supported his previously well- acquired reputation, and of the other golfers, who, undismayed by the entry of Mr George Glennie, essayed their skill, the result of the handicap for the clubs will show that they deserve great credit alike for their pluck and their play. Subjoined is the final score, but it must be explained that a set of clubs subscribed for by the players, who were handicapped by the secretary and club- keeper, also became the property of Mr Glennie, and the numbers are indicated hereunder. Mr Glennie thus became the holder of the medal for the seventh year. TOTAL FOR LST ROUND. 2D ROUND. 3D ROUND. MEDAL. Glennie 46 43 41 13O Adamson 51 44 45 140 H.

The following gentle- men have been winners of the Summer Medal since 1854 :— Geo. Glennie, 1854, 55, 56, 59, 60, 61, 63; Sir T. Moncrieffe, 1857 ; H. Buskin, 1858, 62. KNUR AND SPELL.— Mr J. Kellett of Lower Moor has re- ceived articles and £ 1 a side for a match at knur and spell, for £ 10 a side, between A. Bairstow of Queensbury and J. Greenwood of Shelf, to be made into £ 5 a side on the 13th, and the remaining £ 5 a side on the day of playing, which is fixed to come off at the Quarry Gap Sporting Ground, Bradford, on Saturday, June 20. G. Chapman of Attercliff, in reply to Cutts's ( of Ecclesfield) challenge, will play him even, with common pot knurs, 20 rises each, for £ 25 a side, and as he never played with wood he will take 10 scores in 20 rises, or 15 in 30, each with best wood they can get, for £ 25 a side; to play at Newhall, Sheffield. A match can be made any time at C. Chapman's, Lodge Hotel, Atterclift'. W. Thornton of Bowling and J. Hanson of Odsall are matched to play, for £ 5 a side, on Saturday, June 27, on Odsall Moor, near Bradford. RABBIT COURSING.— FLORA AND BRANNAN.— Mr Holden of Manchester is now in receipt of £ 12 10s each for the contest in which R. Marshall of Leeds has matched his bitch Flora against F. Stead's Brannan 11 out of 21 courses, 60 yards law, for £ 25 a side. The event is to be decided on the grounds of Mr G. Bennett, Stanningley, Yorkshire, on June 22. On that- day the final deposit has to be paid, and Mr Holden is to name a referee. J. Worthey of 8nyd Green will match his bitch White Fan against S. Swift's Lill of Longton or T.

PEDESTRIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK. UPTON AND SAREY.— On Saturday, J une 6, these pedestrians met on J. Baum's enclosed ground to run one mile, for £ 5 a side, Upton being allowed 20 yards. The meeting was well attended by the partisans of the competitors, among whom the race pro- duced a good deal of interest, as a well- contested struggle was fully expected to ensue. The odds were 2 to 1 on Upton, and there was a good deal of the circulating medium speculated on the result. In arranging the preparatory matters W. Richards ( the Welshman) was chosen referee, and, all being in readiness, the competitors came to the mark, when Upton was placed the given distance in advance. From the start Sarey gained upon his competitor in a decided manner, and had so improved his position that when they went by the referee for the completion of the fourth lap he had all but succeeded in closing up the gap between them. As they entered upon the fifth round Upton made a fine vigorous spurt for the purpose of, if possible, breaking from his opponent. Although Sarey did not attempt to come to the front, still he ran with his man close up in the rear until the sixth lap, when, owing to Upton turning his head to look at his competitor, who was close upon his quarters, he lost his equilibrium, and fell with so much force that he had the misfortune to cut himself badly, and was led off the ground. Sarey, now being in undisputed possession of the course, had to run the last lap by himself, so that he landed an easy winner. J. SLADE OF DEVON AND J. MENEAR OF CORNWALL.— On Monday, June 8, these celebrated atheletes met pursuant to articles on J. Baum's enclosed ground, the White Lion, Hackney Wick, to contend for £ 10 a side and the Champion's Challenge Cup given for competition by mine host. This handsome trophy which is called the " Duke of Cornwall's Challenge Cup," was first contended for on Easter Monday last, when Slade was the winner, and he has, according to the stipulated conditions, to hold, it against all comers until after next Easter, before it will become his own property. From the known skill of the men the match produced the utmost excitement, and there was a strong muster present to witness the play. The men had to wrestle the best two falls out of three, and in adjusting the preparatory matters Mr Luke was chosen umpire for Menear, Mr Morgan acting on the part of Slade, while the veteran Griffiths discharged the duties of referee. The competitors came into the ring a few minutes before six o'clock, and at once commenced play. Although Slade had thought to find little difficulty in dis- posing of his opponent, he soon found out his mistake, for from the really splendid manner in which Menear played, he in all things proved equal to his antagonist. It would take up too much space were we to attempt to go into the particulars of the innu- merable " dog falls" that the champions had in the course of this really fine well- contested match. Let it, therefore, be sufficient to state that they continued the struggle until nearly dark, having, from the commencement, held the ring for three hours without either being able to obtain the least advantage. As it now became apparent there was not the least chance of the men being able to bring the match to any satisfactory conclusion, they, acting under the advice of their friends, agreed to discontinue the struggle, and it has since been arranged that the men shall meet again on Saturday, June 20, for the purpose of once more renewing the match, when we should advise all who are admirers of the " fair back" to attend, as they will then have the oppor- tunity of witnessing some of the finest play of the day. When the men agreed to discontinue the play Menear was, un- questionably, much the stronger ; in fact, he appeared not in the least the worse for the wear and tear of the long bout they had gone through, while Slade was much distressed. Indeed, Me- near's friends became so confident that they did not hesitate to state that, had they only had a little more of the " sky blue," they must have won. The champions having played in such mag- nificent style on thepresentoccasion, adds much additional interest to the match among those who are the admirers of the sport, and, from the care the men are taking of themselves, there can be no doubt they will at their forthcoming meeting enter the ring in tip- top condition. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. COOPER AND MORRIS.— On Monday, June 8, these pedestrians met on J. Wilson's ground, the Olympia, Bow, to walk two miles, for £ 5 a side. The men had to make the circuit of the course six times to complete the distance, ana in adjusting the preliminaries C. Perry, the pedestrian, was chosen referee. The betting com- menced at evens, but just before the men came to the mark Morris was made a decided favourite, his friends laying the odds of 2 to 1. From the commencement of the match, Morris went away with the lead, and as lap followed lap he continued to widen the gap between himself and opponent. Morris's manner of get- ting over the ground was repeatedly objected to by the friends of Cooper, who alleged that he was by no means contesting the match according to the rules of fair heel and toe. Throughout the whole of the distance there was not the slightest change in the position of the pedestrians, tke lead being maintained by Morris, who, as the struggle drew towards conclusion, gradually widened the gap between himself and opponent, and was the first to land at the goal by twenty yards. The referee was now appealed to for his decision by the friends of Cooper, who asserted Morris was not entitled to the stakes for not having walked the match fairly ; and this functionary being of opinion the plea was just, disqualified Morris, and awarded the money to his opponent, and, as may be imagined, this fiat produced for the moment a good deal of angry feeling from the friends of Morris, who were taken quite by surprise at the decision, as it was some- thing more than they had bargained for. TWe have received a legal notice not to give up the stskes.] REED AND PARKER.— These men also contended in a spin of 120 yards, for £ 5 a side, Parker being allowed one yard. The odds were 6 to 4 on Reed, but there was not much money laid out on the result. On getting off the pedestrians went bounding along at a good pace, and after a fine, well- contested struggle. Reed, who wrested the lead from his competitor as they neared the goal, went in a winner by two yards. WRESTLING.— SLADE AND TYSON.— These men met on Satur- day, June 6, on J. Wilson's Ground, the Olympia, Bow, to wrestle for £ 10 a side, the best of five falls, two in the Cornish and two in the Cumberland style, the choice of the fifth and last fall to be decided by toss. The well- known F. Gould was chosen referee, and all being ready the men commenced play. The first fall, which was in the Cornish style, was won by Slade, who threw his man in first- rate style by the heel. After a little rest they again came together, when after a fine, spirited bout, the play now being in the Cumberland style, Tyson gained the fall, sending his man to grass in beautiful " form" from the hipe ; thus making matters between them equal. The third fall was won by Slade, who put his antagonist fairly over with the click ; while the fourth fall was in turn obtained by Tyson, who grassed his man with the inside heel. The men had, therefore, played with such equal skill and advantage that they had obtained two falls each. After taking a little time to " puli themselves toge- ther," they once more went to work, having to wrestle the fifth and last fall in the Cornish style, when, after a well- contested bout, Slade threw his man splendidly from the hip, and was thus hailed the winner of the match, having obtained three falls to his opponent's two. PEDESTRIANISM AT BR0MPT0N. QUARTER OF A MILE HANDICAP.— On Saturday, June 6, there was a good attendance on J. Roberts's enclosed ground to witness this event, for money prizes given by the proprietor. The pedes- trians, fairly handicapped, were drawn to contend in the follow- ing order:— First heat: Rod well 12 yards start, Powe 15, Lake 25. Rodwell wrested the lead from his men, and won as he liked.— Second heat: Cotton 40, Silver 26, Chiddington 25. The lead was maintained by Cotton, and he won a well- contested race by a yard.— Third heat: C. Perry from scratch walked over.— Final heat: Rodwell 12, Cotton 40, Perry from scratch. These men, as the best performers, had now to be brought together to contend for the prize, and after a finely- contested race Perry, who passed his men as they drew near the finish, went in a fine winner by not more than a yard; Rodwell, who had made a fine race of it with Perry, not being more than a yard in the rear ; Cotton also finish- ing a good third. BROOKSON AND GILES— On Tuesday, June 9, these old oppo- nents met here to run a mile, for £ 5 a side. The odds were 2 to 1 on Brooksou, and in settling the preparatory matters Mr Harrison was chosen referee. On the start being made the pedestrians went away at a rattling pace, the lead taken by Giles, which he maintained until nearly the completion of the second lap ( half a mile), when Brookson in a clipping spurt challenged his oppo- nents, and came to the fore. While the pedestrians were pacing along in the third lap Giles closed on his man, and once more went away with the lead, and from the fine manner in which he was maintaining the struggle his friends imagined that he had now the race secure, Brookson being gradually outpaced. When the pedestrians went by the referee for the commencement of the fourth and last lap Giles was well in front, but now, as they speeded on Brookson, who had still got plenty of " steel" left in him, rapidly diminished the space between them, until he at length finally succeeded in obtaining the lead, and went by the goal a fine winner, Giles having not the least chance after his opponent had passed him for the last time. This now makes matters " trick and tie" between them, as in their former match, run on this ground some nine months since, Giles defeated his op- ponent with much ease. The winner can have the stakes at our office on Thursday, June 18, at twelve o'clock. On Friday, June 5, great excitement was created in the Ash Camps, Aldershott, by the announcement that a running match of* 100 yards, for £ 25 a side, had been arranged to take pivV>. » fc moruing, between Capt Herbert ( Coldstream Guards) a. ww - vate named Kent, of the Fusilier Guards, the officers of this rt,& merit having made the challenge. At first the captain's backers were rather doubtful of their favourite, it being well known to them that his opponent had appeared in public on similar occa- sions. As the time for the race approached, and when the rivals came on the ground, the confidence of the captain's supporters was greatly strengthened by his muscular and well knit figure, in praise of which too much could scarcely be said, considering that he had not been in training, However, when the preliminary canters were taking place, hopes again decidedly fell, owing to the undoubted professional appearance, both in figure and style of runuing ® f his opponent, who certainly justified the good opi- nion entertained of him by his backers. " The result of these pre- liminaries was that Kent became a greater favourite than before., and was backed at 3 to 2, the betting having previously been even. After six or seven false starts they got away together, and re- mained so for about 50 yards, when the captain came to the front, and won easily by three yards, amidst the cheers of the officers and men of his regiment. THOMPSON AND BUTTON.— These pedestrians met on J. Gar- ratt's enclosed ground, Garratt- lane, on Tuesday, June 9, to run half a mile, for £ 5 a side, Button being allowed 30 yards. The meeting was well attended by the partisans of the competitors, but there was little or no money speculated on the result. When the referee had been chosen, the pedestrians came to the mark, and Button was placed jthe given distance in advance. The result of the struggle is soon told, the race presenting no varied feature, as Button maintained the advantage of the lead through- out, and went by the goal an easy winner, Thompson having little or no chance. JOE GOSS'S BENEFIT AT HACKNEY WICK ON MONDAY.— No better criterion of the exciting nature of the gathering for the benefit of Joe Goss at Hackney Wick, on Monday, June 15, nor no better proof of the respect in which he is held by his brethren of the P. E., can be given than the list of those, the very 114 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JUNE 14, 1863. elite of the professors, who have pledged ( barring sufficient cause) to attend on the day and set- to, viz:— Nat Langham, Tom Pad- dock, Alec Keene, George Brown, Young Ben Caunt, Patsy Rear- don, Jack Rooke, Kyall, Brettle, Jerry Noon, Joe Rowe, Bos Tyler, Jemmy Welsh, Bob Travers, Crockett, Old Jemmy Shaw and his son William. Hicks, Gollagher, Drewe, Job Ccbley, Jem Dillon, Tom Tyler, Baldock, Gannon, Hartley, Hackett, Harry Orme, Young Dutch Sam, Johnny Walker, Mike Madden, & c. It • will thus be seen that both " old and new" are represented, and of that position to exclude " outsiders'' so annoying in " showers of browns" and going round with the cap, which in former times has been the greatest drawback to the attendance of gentlemen; on this occasion the unseemly practice will be strictly prohibited. The " P. B. A." will superintend ; their regular roped ring will be pitched, their inspector Duncan will be M. C., and it really bids fair to be a truthful gathering of the " Fancy," and " mimic reali- ties" of " real mills" in the open air. Tom King will wind- up with Goss. A mile racing handicap includes the noted Teddy Mills and other celebrities of the fleet- footed, and all these sports can be witnessed in ease and comfort. Goss's claim to support is • worthy of all patronage; ever ready to aid others, he is doubly en- titled to patronage under private circumstances painful, and to which all are liable; his match for £ 1,000 with Mace appeals to public support. He is to be found and his tickets had at Mr Tup- per's, Blue Boar's Head, Long- acre, and we can only reiterate the wish that he may have a bumper at Hackney Wick on Monday, June 15. The whole management will be under Mr W. Price. Tom King has positively promised to attend and wind- np with Joe Goss on this occasion. _ D< JINGS AT BELLEVUE RACE GROUND, BLACKBURN.— A jump- iftj# wiatch will come off on the above ground on Saturday, June £ lj?. rftween P.

CHANGE RINGING.— On Thursday evening, June 4, ten members of the Ancient Society of College Youths rang a muffled peal on the bells of St Mary le Bow, Cheapside, as a last token of their deepest respect for the late Mr James Stitchbury, who was a good ringer, and an old and much respected member of the above society. The peal was performed by Messrs Haley, Bradley, Cooter, Langton, Andrews, Jameson, Grice, Dwight, Muskett, and Wood. CRICKETERS' REGISTER. NOTICE TO SECRETARIES. No matches can be inserted unless sent by the secretary or some member authorised by the club, and those matches will be rejected which are not drawn up in proper form, or which are written on both sides of the paper. Much trouble is saved by the use of F. Lillywhite's score sheet, which was so generally used last season, and which must not be confounded with the scoring paper used at a mateh. Matches not appearing imme- diately should not be sent again, they being only delayed for want of space. MARYLEB0NE CLUB. JUNE IS, Lord's— 15 Gentlemen and Players of M. C.

MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v SUSSEX. JUNE 8 AND 9.— This annual match was played at Lord's on Monday and Tuesday last, but the attendance was thin, and the ground very dead, owing to rain. It will be seen that the County had to succumb to the merits of their opponents, who, under the management of Mr W. Nicholson, had a strong eleven. They went in first, the captain and Grundy making their appear- ance, and before being separated ran up a total of 28, Grundy going first. Btubberfield and young James Lillywhite started the bowling. Mr Charles was well stumped by Ellis, who kept wicket admirably. Hearne made a good drive from Stubberfield for five, as did also Mr Stacey for four. The second wicket fell for 35, the third for 36, the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh for 62, and the eighth for 67. Here C^ fc Parnell joined Bignell ( the Notts colt), and they increased wk score to 134; Bignell was missed easily, after he had scored a single. Wisden was tried at Stubberfield, and it will be seen bowled 48 balls for 43 runs. Big- nell, after his miss, played a first- class innings of 49. The in- nings terminated at ten minutes past four o'clock for 144. The bowling was not first class, but John Lillywhite's long- stopping was excellent. The bowling of Wootton was splendid, and Grundy also was very straight. It will be seen that the county could only manage to obtain 36. The wickets fell as follows:— The first, second, and third for 10, and the fourth, fifth, and sixth for 11 runs, seven for 15, eight for 24, nine for 30. Stubberfleld slashed away, and was eventually caught by longstop, who filled that position exceedingly well. Sussex had no alternative but to follow their innings, and at one time it was thought the match wonld again be played out in one day. However, this was not quite done, but nearly so, as there was only 40 minutes' play on the Tuesday. Thus this one- sided affair terminated in favour of the M. C. C. in one innings and 52 runs. Wootton and Grundy, who bowled throughout the match, could not be looked at. Score: M. C. C. AND GROUND. W. Nicholson, b Stubberfleld.... 26 J. Grundy, b Stubberfleld 8 T. Hearne, c Jas.

ROYAL ARTILLERY v HOUSEHOLD BRIGADE. This one- day match was played at Lord's on Wednesday, June 10, and drew together a brilliant and fashionable company, in- cluding the Earl of Yarborough, Lord and Lady Grey de Wilton, Lord Gardiner, Lord Stormont, the Marquis and Marchioness of Anglesey, Lord Garlies, Lord Henry Paget, the Ladies Paget, Hon S. Ponsonby, Hon R. Grimston, and others. The band of the Royal Artillery attended, and performed some of the popular music of the day. The Artillery entered the field on the defence, and by good cricket scored an innings of 152 runs, Capt Newbolt playing an excellent not- out innings of 34, made by seven threes, & c. Mr Inge made fine drives for a five and a four. Mr Taylor's innings included a four and two threes; and in Sergeant M'Canlis's 13 there was a fine drive for five, two threes, & c. For the Brigade Capt Parnell made a merry 36, and Corporal Sheffield's 16 in- cluded a fine leg- hit for four. The Brigade followed their innings and lost four wickets for 64 runs, 30 of which were made by Mr H. Brand, who played well and made two fine leg- hits for five each, a four, and three threes. Law X. was enforced in this match by both umpires " no balling" Mr Campbell for bowling above his shoulder. The Artillery won by 67 runs. Score : ROYAL ARTILLERY. F. Campbell, b Ricardo 11 J. C.

M. C. C. AND GROUND v CIVIL SERVICE CLUB- This match was played on Thursday, June 11, at Lord's. The rain, which had been falling heavily during the morning, ceased soon after eleven, and a fine, though not hot, day ensued. Play began about twelve. The Civil Service, who were under the cap- taincy of the Hon S. Ponsonby, the president of the club, having won the toss, decided to go in, and commenced the batting with Messrs Monro and Bell, against the bowling of Hearne and Fennel). Mr Monro was missed at the wicket in the first over, and shortly afterwards gave a chance to the bowler, driving the ball back into his hands, but rather too sharply to be held. On the whole, however, he played a good innings, and eventually was not out for 54; his club marking their appreciation of his score by presenting him with a bat. The ground was certainly not in good order, and in spite of the rain remained very hard. The bowling, in consequence, bumped very much, and, this may ac- 1 count for the numerous chances given, though not always ac- cepted. It required, indeed, more than ordinary pluck to stand up to Mr Hope- Grant on such wickets, for though bruises and hard knocks are liabilities always attached to cricket, neither the pleasure nor the skill of the game is increased when they become certainties, and to- day, while Mr Grant continued bowling, not one of the batsmen escaped without a severe blow on some part of his body. The M. C. C. went in against a score of 145. The Earl of Winterton and the Hon. C. Carnegie beginning the batting. Mr Brand followed, and made the largest score of his side ( 17), but the bowling of Mr Griffiths and afterwards of Mr Babington, was well on the spot, and though Hearne, Mr Field and Mr Taylor made double figures, the innings closed for 84, or 61 less than their opponents. The M. C. C. therefore went in again, and when time was called, six wickets had fallen for 40 runs. Score: CIVIL SERVICE. C. L. Bell, b Hearne 18 li. W. Monro, net out 54 G. B.

JUNE 4, 5, AND 6.— Surrey commenced their first county match at the Oval, but were unfortunate in the weather, which, as we predicted in our Town Edition of last week, was the cause of its being drawn, Yorkshire at the time having 119 to get to win. 6urrey was under the captaincy of Mr F. P. Miller, while York- shire was led on by Mr Waud, of Oxford celebrity. The ground which had been specially prepared for wickets it appears was not selected, and for that reason perhaps it was not quite equal to what is usually seen at the Oval. George Lee ( from Lord's) and Cuttle ( from Yorkshire) having landed the stumps safely inthe ground, the bell announced that play was about to be commenced, and Surrey having won the toss, at 12: 5 sent Mortlock and Tom Humphrey in to the bowling of Hodgson and Blinn, who, it will be recollected, bowled so well last season in this match. The two bats could not be easily got rid of— both playing admirably— especially Mortlock, who, this season, is quite at the top of the tree. 38 on, and Atkinson was put on at Slinn's end, and when 71 had been scored Humphrey was caught in the slip, making a four, two threes, a two, and singles. H. H. Stephenson stopped with Mortlock until the figures had reached to 93, and Mortlock was then well caught by the bowler, playing as good an innings as could be seen, composed of a six ( drive from Slinn), a five ( drive from Hodgson), six fours ( principally drives), four threes, three twos, and singles. This innings well deserved the talent money, but that has been discontinued by the club, on grounds for which some of the professionals alone are answerable. Slinn re- turned to Atkinson's end when 100 was up. Mortlock's, the third wicket, fell for 126; the betting was freely 3 to 1 on Surrey. Caffyn's went the fourth, playing; a fair 27, in which were two fours, six twos, & c. Four for 160. Before the fifth was disposed of the score book showed a total of 223— Griffith being then well secured at the wicket; as usual, he made some most brilliant hits, and his figures comprised a six ( drive from Hodgson), two fives ( drives), two fours ( drives), nine twos, and singles. Julius C; csar and Mr Dowson caused a total of 274, and brought Iddison ( slows) and John Berry at Slinn's end; the latter bowler managed to get one past Julius, who had put together 28, by two fours ( a drive and a square leg- hit), a three, three twos, and singles. Mr Dowson soon followed, but not until he had lodged at his banker's a sum of 45, in a fiver, two fours, three threes, five twos, and the rest in golden ones. Total, seven wickets for 279. Mr Miller went the eighth, but caused a total of 308; he was caught at short- leg, after making a good drive from Atkinson for four. Seven more only were scored— Sewell caught at mid- wicket and Whale short- leg— and the in- nings was completed, Lockyer making another " not out" in- nings, which will look well for his averages; his 26 comprised two fours, a three, two twos, and singles. The innings terminated at 6: 55. After the usual lapse of time, Yorkshire commenced their innings, and the stumps were drawn at half- past seven, as usual on this ground in June. Thewlis 7, Berry 5. On Friday the wet prevented much play. Anderson and Ste- phenson were in at half- past six o'clock, when rain again put all further stop to play, which was a serious loss to the lovers of cricket. Total, 144 for five wickets. On Saturday the weather was more propitious, and Anderson and E. Stephenson, although the ground owing to the rain played somewhat false, made a good stand. Mr Miller went on at Caffyn's end, and bowled well, as the analysis will show; he was, however, exceedingly unlucky, bowling, as he did, for catches, though eventually securing Stephenson at long square- leg, caught by Griffith when in the act of slipping. Stephenson played a fine innings, as he usually does, composed of a six ( drive from Sewell), two fours ( drive and a square leg- hit), eight threes, six twos, & c ; six wickets for 199. Anderson and Mr Waud increased the score to 238, the hitting being remarkably good. Anderson's figures were two fours, eight twos, and singles; Mr Waud's a four, two threes, two twos, & c. The innings closed at half- past four, leav- ing Yorkshire in a minority of 58, which maybe justly considered a good pull up. In consequence of the state of the ground Surrey was got out in their second innings for 60 only, Hodgson and Slinn not being changed. Mr Miller and Lockyer started. The first ( Lockyer's) fell for 15, the second ( Humphrey's) for 16. Caesar and Mr Miller ran the score to 34, of which the latter con- tributed 13 by four twos ( cuts and drives) and singles. Cfesar went for the same total, making a four ( drive), two threes, & c. Mortlock quickly put together the " leger," composed of two fours ( drive and a leg- hit), two threes, a two, & c. At half- past six rain came on, and prevented further play ; thus the match terminated in a draw, and it is doubtful who would have been the winners. The return match will be played at Sheffield.

JUNE 4, 5, AND 6.— This match terminated in a draw on Satur- day at seven o'clock, in consequence of no play taking place on I Friday. Only three overs were bowled, rain falling all day. On ; Thursday England scored 114 in their first innings. Some good j play was shown. Reynolds and Mr Allison ( slow) bowled, relieved i at times by Mr Whittaker and Rowley. The Eighteen scored I 134 in their first innings, which terminated at half- past one on Saturday. In the Eleven's second innings the remarkable feature was Mr Grace's innings of 97, not out, going in first, and never giving a chance of the bat. Wisden stayed with him some time, scoring 12. The total was 151, leaving 132 to make to win. 71 was scored with the loss of five of the best wickets ; Messrs Rowley and Whittington not out. No doubt it would have been a very interesting game ; in fact, it was anybody's ;| we think neither side had the best of it. Score : ALL ENGLAND. lst inn 2d inn E. M.

This match took place on Monday, June 8, and two fol- lowing days, at the Antelope Ground, Southampton, the Eleven winning with 65 runs to spare. The ground was in admirable condition, and the company each day very numerous. The Eleven scored 141 in their first innings. Tarrant played a fine score of 33, Mr Grace a capital 32, Parr 13, Clarke 10, Ca; sar ( not out) 16, and Tinley 12. The Twenty- two were 48 runs short of the Eleven. Russell scored 13, including a cut for three. Mr Eccles showed good cricket for 12, and Mr Elphinstone was well worthy of his 10. The Eleven scored 89 in their second innings. Tarrant and Parr, with Tinley, scored double figures; Parr in two hours. This left the Hampshire Twenty- two 138 to make to win, but such was the splendid bowling of Willsher and Jackson that not one double figure was scored.

Mr Walker kindly consented to oblige the University by playing twelve a side. At half- past eleven, Southgate, having won the toss, proceeded to the wickets, and concluded their innings for 124; Messrs V. E. and R. D. Walker, who were well supported by Messrs C. D. Marsham and H. Perkins, being the principal contributors. Mr V. E » Walker's figures included seven threes, chiefly drives. At half- past four the University sent in Messrs Linton and Gamier, but the first three wickets fell quickly for 24 runs, Mr Gamier being splendidly caught at long leg by Mr Miller. Messrs Bull and Mitchell, however, soon altered the state of the game, and en- tirely baffled the efforts of the bowlers ; Messrs Plowden, R. D. Walker, C. D. Marsham, V. E. Walker, and Miller all in turn handling the ball. When 100 was scored Mr Bull was bowled by Mr C. D. Marsham, and Mr Inge was immediately afterwards well caught at long leg from a good hit. Mr Mitchell retired next, having scored 54, including two sixes, two fours, three threes, & c. On Wednesday the game was resumed, the Uni- versity finishing their innings for 197. Mr Voules played avery fine innings of 39, and was well supported by Messrs Daubeny, Teape, and Evans. Southgate in their second innings made a very short stay, the ground playing anything but well, owing to the frequent showers. Messrs R. D. Walker, Perkins, and Plowden did their best to retrieve the fortunes of their side, but all proved of no avail, as, at the fall of the eleventh wicket, 83 only were on the telegraph, leaving the University II to win, which Messrs Gar- nier and Linton obtained without the loss of a wicket. Mr Daa- beny's bowling and Mr Haygarth's wicket- keeping are especially worthy of commendation. Southgate were unfortunate in the state of the ground, as it played better during the first part of the University innings than at any other period of the match. To this, in a great measure, may be attributed their easy defeat. Score: SOUTHGATE. lst inn 2d inn C. D. Marsham, leg b w, b Daubeny .. 16 c Haygarth, b Daubeny.. 8 W. C.

CHELTENHAM COLLEGE v MARLBOROUGH. This annual match came off' at Marlborough on June 2 and 3, and after a most exciting contest terminated in a victory for Chel- tenham by 36 runs. Thus out of eight matches played between the two schools Cheltenham has won five and lost one, two having been drawn. The weather was most favourable for cricket, and the ground, thanks to Brampton, in capital order, and both sides seemed to anticipate a victory. The scores, however, on both sides were somewhat small, owing to the good bowling. The Chelten- ham eleven were perhaps a trifle weaker in this respect, but their excellent fielding made up for it. For Cheltenham Mr J. R. Ro- bertson ( captain) played two fine innings of 22 and 28, while Messrs Croker, Cameron, Parr, and Smyth also displayed some first- rate cricket. For Marlborough, Messrs Hillyard, Cross, But- terworth, Monnington, Harbord, and Fellowes greatly distin- guished themselves, especially Mr Fellowes, whose left- hand was almost incapacitated. On going in for their second innings the Marlbuiians had to get 116 to win ; but owing to the excellent bowling of Messrs Cotton and Croker, and the good fielding of their opponents, they were disposed of for 80 ; and here we must not forget the wicket- keeping of Mr R. T. Reid, which for a boy was really magnificent, and to which the victory of the Cheltonians was in a great measure due. Score: CHELTENHAM. lst Inn 2d inn H.

The subjoined scsre will show that, owing to some very good play and not a little good fortune, the R. A. C. were successful. Mr Cooper played a masterly innings, and Messrs Brindley, Filgate, Coleman, and Davis scored well.

MAY 2- 5 AND 26.—^" Let us to cricket, like a man" ( qusery, an Irishman !). said one Anomaly to another, as the two bestrode the knifeboard of a good old Warwickshire bus 011 their way to the Rugby Close. " ' tetters to Cricketers,' you mean," quoth" the secretary, who had written some fifty, exclusive of one to him self, for this one match, with a result of eleven paper acceptances, of which, at the eleventh hour, only nine turned out genuine flannel. The beautiful School Ground is reached at noon, when the Anomalies begin in turn to bowl at the wicket. Straight balls always hit hard and correctly, after the style of the Lillywhite and Diver school. The wicket seldom hit any. Wides carefully fielded, by short slip or vis a vis of the leg. Constant crying and wailing for 10th and llth Anomaly ( both bowlers). The School, at last, re- tire with 403 runs to their credit. Case played a fine cricket- like innings, and on reaching the pavilion there was a little playful interlude, during which he was presented with an Anomaly bat. Game resumed. Willes and Vandermeulen played remarkably well, but received no bat; of course not! they didn't get 170 each. Anomalies very patient throughout. The captain gloomy at times until refreshed by Wallace's magnificent fielding at long- leg. All bowled equally well. Muttlebury, who came by " spe- cial" shied at the wicket for half an hour without issue. Stumps drawn as the last school wicket fell at seven p. m. Eight o'clock: Anomalies fed.

C., a result that caused a panic in the money market, the fall in the shares of theJ. S. C. C. ( Limited) being noted in the money article of all the leading periodicals. The main features of the match were the fine innings of Mr Booth, the hitting of Messrs M'Neile, Usborne, and Digby, a dislocated finger, a hard- shinned umpire, and universal good humour. A fine day, and especially the presence of many fair admirers of the game, combined to render this the most pleasant match of this season to theP. C. C., and we hope their adversaries.

Extract from Guide to Cricketers of 1864. This was an extraor dinary match in every sense of the word: There was extraordinary bowling, more extraordinary hitting, some extraordinary field- ing, and a great score. TheP. C. C. won the toss, and to the great astonishment of the opposite side, and the admiration of his own, their captain positively elected to go to the wickets. Mr Marshall went in fifth, and was not out at all, scoring 120 in superb style ; Mr Daniel plas'ed a fine innings of 88 ( a rare display of batting that) and Mr Lyttelton scored 74 in 26 hits ( including an eight drive, two sixes, and a five to leg). So there was the extraordinary hitting. Mr Perkins bowled almost throughout the innings, and secured six wickets : so there was the extraordinary bowling ; Mr Spencer stumped two, and Mr Perkins caught a skyscraper, so there was the extraordinary fielding. For Rickling Green Messrs Spencer, Chapman, Marsham, and Struttscsred in brilliant style; but the most extraordinary thing was that the Rickling Green Club were not beaten, notwithstanding the extraordinary score of the P. C. C. And why was this? Because time did not admit of their innings being brought to a conclusion. We think that country cricket clubs would da wisely if they had the daylight prolonged on such occasions as these. It was most magnificent cricket.— FINE LETTER WRITER. Score: PERAMBULATORS.

GENTLEMEN OF WEST NORFOLK v GENTLEMEN OF EAST. This match, played on May 26 and 27, was the first played by the N. C. on their new ground at Dereham, which we fancy can hardly be surpassed by any in England, although it lacks the beautiful scenery which many a country ground possesses. The West won both their matches last year, and consequently the East tried hard to turn the tide of victory, but although, as will be seen from the score, the East headed their opponents nearly 60 runs on the first innings, and added 165 by their second, chiefly through the really good play of Mr Marshall, still the West showed they could play an uphill game as well as a victorious one, so that, thanks especially to the lion sec, who played quite in his old form, at half- past, seven, when the stumps were drawn, they had still one wicket to fall, leaving the East to return to their dear Norwich considerably quieted by the " glorious termi- nation." The N. C. are carrying out " all'' the rules of the M. C. C. to the letter, and many other clubs follow their example. EAST NORFOLK. 1st inn 2d inn Rev Turner, c D'Eye. b Wright 16 b Bagge 11 A.

SALE OF THE MIDDLE PARK YEARLINGS. The annual sale of Mr Blenkiron's yearlings took place on Saturday, June 6, at his Stud Farm, Eltham, Kent, when, from the morning being beautifully fine, an immense assemblage of spectators were present. Very soon after their arrival, however, the rain poured down in torrents, which not only made Messrs Tattersall and Blenkiron look unutterable things, but the visitors also, the majority of whom having left their top coats at home, and, there being but little shelter, soon became drenched. Although the attendance was very large, there were not a great many buyers amongst them, with an especial lack of aristocratic pur- chasers. The following noblemen and gentlemen were, however, present:— The Duke of St Albans, Hon Admiral Rous, Colonel Hugh Baillie, Count Batthyany, Capt White, Sir Lydston New- man, Capt Archdale, Mr J. Bland, Mr J. Merry, Mr Naylor, Mr Carew, Mr Robinson, Mr F. Rowlands, Mr H. Hill, Mr Jack- son, Mr J. Smith, Mr Stevenson, Mr Morris, Mr Peck, and Mr 8. Houghton. The trainers also mustered in some force, there being, amongst others, Messrs J. Day, J. Armstrong, H. Goater, Burbidge, John Dawson, J. French, G. Oates, 1' Anson, T. Brown, R. Basham, and W. Reeves. The preliminaries had been most satisfactorily adjusted for the commencement of business at the appointed hour, one o'clock, but Mr Tattersall, in hopes that the rain, perhaps, would cease, waited until his patience was tired out. At a little after two o'clock he mounted his box in a heavy stiower, and the sale immediately commenced with Lot 1, a chesnut filly, by Trumpeter, the only one in the sale of this promising young stallion's get. She was a very pretty filly, showing much quality, and John Day snapped her up for 50gs ; very cheap indeed. Lots 2 and 3 went also low enough, but were small. No. 4, a filly by Yellow Jack out of Pastrycook ( the dam of Paste), and a veiy smart, useful filly, with some substance, was bought by Admiral Rous for 80gs, and at the price must be deemed a bargain. No. 5, by Nea- sham, 6 by Mildew, and 7 by Marsyas, were of no great attraction ; but Lot 8, a chesnut colt by Hobbie Noble or Mar- syas out of Beatrice— a colt, we should say by his general appear- ance, of the former's get— was a very nice- limbed one, showing plenty of power, size, and quality. He was knocked down to Mr Reeves for 90gs. Lot 9, a black colt by Mildew or Weatherbit ( the latter, we should say), being handsome, of good substance, and with many fine racing points, was sold to Mr Jackson for 350gs. No. 10, a brown colt by Weatherbit, was a wiry, showy colt, with fine action, and he also was booked to Mr Jackson. No. 11, by Hobbie Noble, was a splendid filly in every respect. No. 12, a colt by Hobbie Noble, was good- looking enough, but with very suspicious hocks. No. 13, a filly by Weatherbit, with size and quality about her, was cheap. No. 14, a filly by Mar- syas, was nothing particular ; but No. 15, a black filly by The Black Doctor or Neasham, was a very pretty, neat filly, though small, and without any great sign of improvement. No. 16, a filly by Hobbie . Noble, was very handsome indeed, showing great strength, fine arms, thighs, and back, but rather heavy at the shoulders. No. 17, a chesnut colt by Rataplan, took much after his sire, being heavy and deficient of quality. No. 18, a colt by Marsyas, was a smart, useful- looking youngster. No. IS), a colt by Hobbie Noble out of Pearl, showed much fashion, and to the eve looked a very speedy customer. He, how- ever, slipped his head stall previous to going up to the hammer, and bolted round the paddock, when his style of going was net at all pleasing, for he appeared tied at the shoulders, and in his gambols fell upon his head. Still, in spite of this, he made 125 guineas. No. 20, a colt by Neasham, showed much quality and is sure to race. No. 21, a cbesnut colt by Hobbie Noble out of The Belle, had size, fashion, and quality in his favour, and if good looks will make a horse run he must. No. 22, an own brother to Neptunus, possesses great bone and size, with a very blood- like appearance in every respect; he is, moreover, an excellent mover, and should make a race- horse. There was some strong competition for him, but Mr Jackson became his owner for 6-' 0gs. No. 2 3, a^ colt by Marsyas, brought 260gs. He is a smartish nag, but with rather too much daylight under him. No. 24 was a colt by Marsyas out of a mare by Pyrrhus the First, and to our fancy the most blood- like looking colt of the whole lot. He was bought for Wil- liam Day, who had some time since had a liking for him. No. 25 was a chesnut colt by Weatherbit, very clever- looking, handsome, and well built, with many excellent racing points, for all which Mr Morris gave 350gs. No. 26, a chesnut colt by Marsyas out of Sacrifice, is certainly a most promising- looking colt, with good head and neck, fine arms and thighs, good shoulders, back, and loins. The Duke of St Albans purchased him for 320gs. No. 27, a chesnut colt by Marsyas out of the celebrated Dinah, the darn of Commotion, Earl of Surrey, Little Tom, and others— a very thick- set; colt, with short understandings, good arms, and deep quarters, and many fine racing points— was booked to Mr Morgan for 320 guineas. No. 28, a colt by Drumour, showed much quality and fashion, and from his size and general appear- ance is bound to race. No. 29, a colt by Rataplan out of Tested, looked more of a gentleman, with some Derby- like form, than the majority of this sire's get, having a good head and neck, with well- set shoulders, good back, loins, and hocks, and strong timber all through, but not lumbering. He showed sufficient quality about him to find lots of admirers, and goes into Lord Stamford's stable, having been purchased by Mr F. Rowlands for 610 guineas. No. 30, a black colt., brother to Wild Rose, was parti- cularly attractive, handsome, and well- shaped, as well as of good size, and with a little more substance would be a beauty. He is a fine mover, and looks all over a performer. No. 31. This colt is half brother to Caractacus, and, although very well put together, did not carry that character or quality about him equal to last year's Derby winner. He, moreover, met with an accident when dropped, his dam, who is now blind, having trod upon his off hind fetlock, which has thickened, and looks unsightly; he went for his full value, lOOgs, to Mr Steven- son. No. 32, a colt by Neasham, showed some fine racing qualifi. cations, and with timber sufficient for his new owner, Mr Peck, to wait with him until the proper time. No. 33 and 34 wanted size and substance, but went cheap enough at 70gs each. No. 35, a chesnut fillyl by Hobbie Noble, was good- looking, but made her full value, llOgs. No. 36, a brown filly ( sister to Gasconade) by Weatherbit, was remarkably well put together, and with a deal of quality. No. 37, a filly by Neasham, very neat, with style and substance, was booked to Mr Morris for 250gs. The remaining four lots were weedy and small, and fetched, it will be seen, but poor prices. It will be seen by our return that the lot brought 7,917gs, the average being 193gs each, which, on the whole, must be deemed satisfactory. The weather certainly was unfavourable to the sale, as the rain and cold made several of the youngsters stick up their backs and coats. Otherwise the downfall caused but little interference with the market. The whole lot of colts and fillies looked remarkably clean, healthy, and full of bloom — they were really in admirable sale condition, for which the stud groom Lawson deserves great praise. From a combination of causes, the sale will be conducted with more method next year, when the mere sight- seers will be kept at due distance, and those who mean business will have a fair chance of looking about them. In consequence of a severe domestic affliction in his brother's family, Mr Edmond Tattersall, who has usually sold at Middle Park, was unable to attend, and the senior partner, Mr Richard Tattersall, officiated in his stead.

The Admiral makes a decided hit, and the 80 guineas for tine Ally out of Pastrycook will, we will, venture to say, be repaiu tenfold before two more Middle Park sales have passed over. Bidders must have been uncommonly luke- warm, or judges of horseflesh blinded by the rain, to allow so clever and manifestly improving an animal to pass away for such a mere song. The shrewd buyer would, however, have gone on had the expected opposition presented itself. Still the rain comes down pitilessly, and the bright bonnets and still brighter eyes which ever and anon show themselves in the half- opened upper windows of the villa are hopelessly defrauded of any nearer in- spection of the exciting scene which is passing within the car- riage- lined circle ; and now one of the " picks" is led forward by Lawson, who more than once seems inclined to shed tears as his four- legged friends are taken from him, and in the colt by Weatherbit out of Gipsy Queen Mr Jackson gets one of the most racing- like yearlings ever put up for sale; irrespective of the fine strain on the dam's size, the half or whole brothership to High Treason ( handsomest and most unlucky of horses), would have fully justified a bid of double the 350 guineas to which Mr Tattersall at last dropped his hammer. Again the Yorkshire Mentor of the Ring, leaning quietly over the ropes, disdainful of umbrellas and scouting waterproofs, nods liis head in reply to the enquiring glance from the rostrum, and gets another clever Weatherbit colt out of Actress for 105 guineas. This lot was completely given away, and so one of the best judges in the world at our side observes A Hobbie Noble colt out of Yarra Yarra leaves the ring with 370 guineas inscribed against his name, the remembrance of his flying relative, Madame Eglan- tine, doubtless helping liim off a little, and then the rain pulls itself together and comes down in a perfect sheet; the next few lots in consequence go for absurdly low prices, and the " average" begins to look rather " fishy;" until a splendid chesnut. also by Hobbie out of The Belle, calls forth a general and genuine burst of admiration! People seem to rouse themselves from their lethargy, and let down their carriage windows, and fidget with their cards and pencils, and tread on the toes of non- bidders, and swear at boys who stand in the way, and after a sharp rally Mr Haugliton gets him a dead bargain for 500 guineas. A beautiful black filly, half sister to Silverhair, has just previously fallen to the same gentleman for 155 guineas, rather to Mr Blenkiron's disgust, as in his heart of hearts this smart little lady, he thought, should have had the preference over more than one of her sex who came before her in the return list. And then the interest of the whole aft'air culminates as the brother to Neptunus, the finest furnished yearling we ever set eyes upon, paces slowly round with an extraordinary long powerful stride. He runs up to 620gs, and then Mr Jackson looks so determined that his oppo- nents die away, and Middleham has another chance of winning the Derby, a chance which one of his companions, the Rataplan colt out of Tested, it is on the cards may upset, for the coarseness which certain would- be connoisseurs or jealous self- elected judges affected to find in him was not visible to the eyes of the gentleman who bought him cheap for Lord Stamford at 610gs. And so lot after lot falls, and some " do well" and others are " given away," and we light more cigars and don't mind the rain, and say that it is a good sale after all, and that Mr Blenkiron is the best judge of mares in the world, and that Marsyas is not a " duffer," and will yet get racehorses, as all must know that he is bound to do. Then, as the Oulston filly rejoins her young friends in the yard, and the crowd breaks up and horses are put to, we also button our great coat and make our way o'er moss and fell to the deserted Blackheath station, and as the Middle Park gate closes behind us we congratulate its proprietor that his judgment, and care, and patience have once more been proved triumphantly, and wish him better weather next year!

And a pleasant Saturday, too! The rain fell, it is true constant and remorseless as a Jew creditor. The trees dripped steady showers of moisture upon hat and coat, the grass was damp and slushy, and necessitated the turning up of nether garments, and in consequence involved the display of feet and ancles ( I speak strictly of the male portion of creation) which, in more than one instance, would scarcely have drawn down the admiration of a modern enthusiast bent on producing a second Apollo Belvidere, or have attracted the applause of an futvitue ( save the mark) of the Adelaide Gallery or El Dorado. The rooks— wisest and weirdest of birds— swayed to and fro on their sky- built platforms of sticks and wool, and cherishing their callow youog, disdained, save by an occasional lazy, discontented caw, to acknowledge the existence of the chaptering, swaying mass of humanity which gathered at the foot of their nest trees, disturbing at once their digestion and their noontide siesta. Once and again a fitful gleam of sunshine falling through the elms lighted up for a time the faces of the half- holiday, half- business- bent throng which, in cigar smoking, list- consulting groups, had massed itself around the roped arena, destined so shortly to resound to the tread of the embryo candidates for honours of heath and down ; and taking advantage of one of these brief intervals, we bent our way, under the auspices of a card inscribed " Caractacus," to the long, plaasant, . green lawn- facing room, in which Mr Blenkiron— wise in iiis own generation— had provided food for the inner man, cool and pleasant to the eye, succulent and toothsome to the palate; for here the lobster mingled his ruby and white flesii with the crisp green of the iettuce, rejoicing to be crunched, and pies solid and savoury, hams hunger- creating and juicy, with the numberless et cetems of a luncheon which an occasion like the present only calls into existence, bade the endless floods of genial, inspiring champagne to aid them in warring successfully against the hostile • elements, and in rousing spectators and bidders to the proper de- gree of enthusiasm which the treat in the way of " terrible high- bred cattle" which was about to be submitted to them fully de- manded. Gastronomy, avaunt! Shame on the false Etruscan who lingers o'er the platter when Mr Tattersall has mounted his rostrum and announced the first lot! And so quitting the ban- queting hallf K- rcbjrelk in hand, we brave the still- deseending ARCHERY. MEETINGS ALREADY FIXED.

GENTLEMEN'S PRIZES.— Greatest gross score, Mr Ford, 791; second ditto, Mr Townsend, 675; third ditto, Mr Coulson, 656 ; fourth ditto, Mr Macnamara, 653; fifth ditto, Mr Edwards, 637 ; sixth ditto, Mr Tawney, 610; greatest number of golds, Mr Aston, 12; best gold ef the meeting, Mr Norris; greatest score at 100 yards, Mr Burrard, 191; ditto at 80 yards, Col Clowes, 245 ; ditto at 60 yards, Mr Partridge, 182; best gold at 100 yards, Captain Betham; ditto at 80 yards, Mr Tolman; ditto at 60 yards, Mr Steel. MR ALDRED'S EXTRA PRIZES.— Greatest gross score, Mr Ford; second ditto, Mr Townsend; third ditto, Mr Coulson. A heavy shower of rain caused the shooting to be suspended from half- past one till nearly five o'clock. At the 80 yards shoot- ing Mr Macnamara ( County Dublin Archers) made three golds at one end at 80 yards. After the distribution of the prizes, the archers tendered their cordial thanks to the directors of the Crystal Palace, to the judge ( Mr Caldecott), to Mr N. Merridew, the manager, and Mr T. Aldred, the hon local secretary. CRYSTAL PALACE MEETING. The earliest of the public archery meetings of the season, and the annual gathering of the toxopbilites at the Crystal Palace, on Thursday and Friday, June 11 and 12, were attended with no ordi- nary degree of success. Such a result may be attributed to the great pains taken by the manager ( Mr N. Merridew), and to the number and liberality of the prizes offered for competition by the directors of the Palace, who, year after year, have done their best to render the meeting attractive to the most distinguished archers in the three kingdoms, and pleasant to visitors, by whom the operations in the target field are looked upon with increased fa- vour. The Crystal Palace fete has, this year, preceded those of the Midland Counties at Leamington, the National at Oxford, and the Grand Western at Weymouth, and this change in the ordi- nary programme, wherein the Leamington meeting has usually taken the lead, has been found satisfactory to those more imme- diately interested. The prizes, amounting to upwards of £ 100, were as follows :— LADIES.— For the greatest gross score £ 8, second ditto £ 7, third ditto £ 6, fourth ditto £ 5, fifth ditto £ 4, greatest number of golds £ 3, best gold of the meeting £ 3, greatest score at 60 yards £ 2, ditto at 50 yards £ 2, best gold at 60 yards £ 2, ditto at 50 yards £ 2. Extra prizes, presented by Mr Aldred, of 126, Oxford- street, for the greatest gross score, an Italian yew bow, for the second ditto six prize arrows, and for the third ditto six ditto. GENTLEMEN.— For the greatest gross score £ 12, second ditto £ 10, third ditto £ 8, fourth ditto £ 6, fifth ditto £ 5, sixth ditto £ 4, greatest number of golds £ 3, best gold of the meeting £ 3, greatest score at 100 yards £ 3, ditto at 80 yards £ 3, ditto at 60 yards £ 3, best gold at 100 yards £ 2, ditto at 80 yards £ 2, ditto at 60 yards £ 2, Extra prizes, also presented by Mr Aldred, whose exquisite specimens of the bowyer's craft made the gifts doubly acceptable to their fortunate recipients, as under :— For the greatest gross score an Italian yew bow, second ditto six prize arrows, third ditto six ditto. These prizes, 31 in number, brought together 49 gentlemen and 35 ladies, who were arranged at 15 targets, which were erected in the cricket ground. As for the arrangements for the admission and accommodation of visitors, they were most com- plete, and reflected the utmost credit upon the management. There was a good attendance of visitors on each day. As the gentlemen competitors took their places at the targets, and included among their number the most renowned of English bowmen, it was evident that the great attention which had been given to rifle shooting during the last few years had not told unfavourably on the sport of archery. So far from throwing into the shade the antique— we cannot say antiquated— practice of shooting with bow and arrow, it has helped to stimulate it. There was a proud array of the best archers of our day, namely, Mr G. Edwards, of Birmingham, who holds the champion medal; Mr H. A. Ford, who held that distinguished position for so many years with the highest scores by which it has ever been attained; Mr Coul- son, who took honours at Bath atthe recent Spring Bow Meeting, Col Clowes, of jjthe Worcestershire Archers, & c. Within flags were placed opposite to one another two series of targets, 15 on each side. There were five or six competitors at each. Nineof each series were appropriated to gentlemen, and six to ladies. At a quarter to eleven the bugle sounded the assembty, and the shooting com- menced shortly afterwards by the gentlemen beginning their York round, viz, six dozen arrows at 100 yards. There was an interval of an hour for luncheon, after which the ladies com- menced the 60 yards', and the gentlemen the 80 yards' shooting, four dozen arrows being shot at each distance respectively. These were followed by the 60 yards' shooting by the gentlemen, and the 50 yards' by the ladies, two dozen arrows by each. The same order and conditions of shooting were observed on both days. Before passing on to other details we give the names of the shooters:— LADIES' TARGET LIST. Target A— Mrs C.

The following were the best scores made:— Gentlemen: Mr Ford, 332; Mr Townsend, 329; Mr Coulson, 312; Mr Edwards, 286; Col Clowes, 284; CaptBetham, best gold at 100 yards; Mr Talman, ditto at 80 yards; and Mr Part- ridge, ditto at 60 yards.

The sports, which were occasionally interrupted by showers on the second day ( Friday), during which some capital scores were registered by the competitors at all distances, were closed about half- past seven o'cloek, and after some time occupied in casting up the scores, the judge distributed the prises as under: LADIES' PRIZES.— Greatest gross score, Mrs Horniblow, 601; second ditto, Mrs Blaker, 463; third ditto, Mrs Litchfield, 448; fourth ditto, Mrs Walters, 415; fifth ditto, Miss F.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY— POLAND AND RUSSIA.— The Earl of ELLEN- BOROUGH inquired as to the present state of the negotiations with respect to Poland, and proceeded to urge that, while negotiations were going on, the revolt which the Emperor of Russia had ordered to be put down in ten days had reached to the height of a frightful war. This was the result of the thirty years' departure from the stipulations of the treaty of Vienna by the Emperor of Russia— stipulations which had been more favourable to Russia on account of the paramount influence she had then obtained in Europe than were consistent with the rights of the Poles. He urged with great energy the cause of Poland, and pressed the en forcement of the treaty obligations of Russia in respect to that country, involving the establishment of a kingdom of Poland, under the sovereignty of one of the Imperial family.— Earl RUS- SELL declined to enter into the details of the negotiation. The Russian Government, in reply to the notes of the three powers, had stated that they offered no suggestion, and pointed out no course of action. On this the English and French Governments had determined on making a suggestion, which had been commu- nicated to the Austrian Government on Saturday, and no reply could yet have been received, and he could therefore add nothing to this statement. As regarded the restoration of Poland, the difficulties were such in 1815 as to have baffled the efforts of Eng- land. It would, perhaps, be not easy to establish an armistice, but it was desirable to make some effort to put an end to the war of ex- termination which was going on in Poland, until which event diplomacy was helpless to effect anything. As England was a party to the Treaty of Vienna, she was bound to make such pro- positions in this matter as were consistent with the terms of that treaty, which did not include the restoration of the kingdom of Poland. All that could be done was to endeavour to obtain the co- operation of other powers towards the best settlement of the Polish question which they could devise. He, therefore, trusted that Her Majesty's Government would not be pressed on this matter until the result of the steps they had taken was known. PRISON MINISTERS.— The second reading of the Prison Ministers' Bill, the object of which is to appoint ministers of all denominations, especially Roman Catholic priests, to attend to the spiritual wants of prisoners of religions other than that of the Established Church, and which underwent an elaborate discussion in the House of Commons, was moved by the Duke of Somerset. — Lord BERNEBS moved the rejection of the bill, and an animated discussion ensued, in the course of which the measure was sup- ported by the Earl of Derby; and on a division the second read- ing was carried by 65 to 35. The Thames Embankment ( South Side) Bill was read a second time, as was the Salmon Fisheries ( Scotland) Aet Continuance Bill. THE SECURITY FROM VIOLENCE BILL.— On the motion of the Earl of Carnarvon, the Security from Violence or Flogging Bill was read a second time, Lord Cranworth opposing it as con- trary to sound principles of legislation, and Earl Granville ex- pressing objections to it in the name of the Government. THURSDAY,— RUSSIA AND PRUSSIA.— Lord CARNARVON asked whether the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs could add any further information respecting the nature and provisions of the recent convention concluded between the Governments of Russia and Prussia beyond that already laid before Parliament. He prefaced his question by a severe censure of the conduct of the Prussian Government in regard to Poland, which was far more dangerous to the peace of Europe than the insurrection itself. In accordance with that convention, Prussia had assisted the Russians when defeated, and furnished them with food and arms, but had delivered up the Poles who had crossed her frontier to the Russians. It was difficult to understand how this convention originated, Russia implying that it originated with Prussia, while Prussia asserted the contrary. The reasons why this convention had not been communicated were also exceedingly contradictory, Prussia attributing the cause to Russia, and vice versa. No less difference was observable between the courses of Austria, Great Britain, and France in regard to this document, Austria refusing to have anything to do with it, France considering it as a grave question of European policy, while England stated to Prussia that it was her duty to observe neutrality, but in acceding to this con- vention she had departed from neutrality. He wished to know whether there was a secret article, what was the necessity of secresy, and why so much official mystification had been em- ployed in regard t « this convention. He proceeded to consider whether the convention was signed by Prussia from fear of insur- rection in Prussian Poland, from sympathy with Russia, or from domestic pressure, and concluded that it arose from fear of any- thing like constitutional life arising on her frontier. The policy of Prussia was dangerous, as tending to isolate her in Europe, and fraught with mischief to Europe at large.— Lord RUSSELL could not at present add any information to that already before Parlia- ment. As to the originating parties of tJhe convention, there was a kind of contradiction, a sort of mystery about it. In regard to the most objectionable part of the convention, that Russian troops might pursue Polish insurgents and attack them on Prussian ter- ritory, M Von Bismark had declared it a dead letter. It was a bad policy on the part of Prussia to throw herself so strongly on to the Russian side, and one which at one time seemed likely to involve disagreeable negotiations with France and England. — Lord BROUGHAM expressed his disapproval of the policy of the Prussian Government both in regard to Poland and her own sub- jects.— Lord CARNARVON again asked for information in reference to the secret article, but Lord RUSSELL said he had no reliable in- telligence on the point. FRIDAY- STATUTE LAW COMMISSION.— The LORD CHANCELLOR called attention to the state of the Statute Law, and of the reports of decisions in the courts of law and equity, and in- troduced a bill for the purpose of revising and expurgating the greater portion of them. suffice without any public aid.— Mr W. FORSTER adverted to the manner in which the reports of the inspectors of schools were dealt with, and complained that the house did not get the reports before it voted the money.— Mr LOWE, in replying to Mr Forster, claimed a right to exercise in his department the discipline that existed in other departments of the State, and which was abso- lutely necessary to their proper working, and explained the prin- ciples he applied to the reports of the inspectors when they con- tained irrelevant or objectionable matter. It was not his duty, he observed, to go into the large question of endowed charities raised by Mr Duff; he, however, threw out suggestions as to the most suitable remedies for the abuses alluded to. The house then went into committee of supply on the Civil Ser- vice Estimates, and numerous votes were agreed to. THE VOLUNTEERS.— On the report of the Volunteers Bill, Sir R. CLIFTON moved an amendment of Clause 20, which he had moved in the committee, that the sufficiency of the cause of dis- mission be judged of by a court, to consist of a captain, two subalterns, and two non- commissioned officers or privates of the corps. He alluded to cases of summary dismission of volunteers by their commandiug officer.— Mr GRIFFITH spoke in favour of the amendment, which was likewise supported by Mr Cox, who contended that the volunteers were at the mercj' of their com- manding officers, and mentioned instances in which individual volunteers had been harshly treated.— Lord ELOHO replied to Mr Cox, and showed that, in one of the cases he had mentioned, the facts did not justify his complaint. He protested against com- manders of volunteers being held up as tyrants, when every vo- lunteer had the remedy in his own hands.— After some observa- tions by Colonel EDWARDS and Mr HENNESSY, the Marquis of HARTINGTON opposed the amendment upon the same grounds as he had urged in the committee, replying to Sir R. Clifton and Mr Cox. He contended that the clause was essential to the disci- pline of volunteer corps.— Upon a division the amendment was negatived by 100 to 29.— A few verbal amendments were agreed to. THE DRAINAGE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND ( IRE- LAND) BILL was recommitted. FRIDAY— NEW MEMBER.— Sir George Coulthurst took the oaths and his seat for Kinsale. FISHERIES ( IRELAND) BILL.— The house went into com- mittee on this bill, and the discussion of the clauses occupied the whole of the morning sitting. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BELL'S LIFE OFFICE, Saturday Night, 12 o' Clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY— OPENING OF GARDENS ON SUNDAYS.— Mr GREGORY moved that the Royal Botanical Gardens of Edin- burgh should be open to the public after the hours of Divine Service on Sundays, as is the case of other botanical gardens sup- ported by parliamentary grants. He contended that the present system was an exclusion of the working classes from an advan- tage which was enjoyed by the richer orders; a system which bad been bond fide petitioned against by over thirty- five thousand working men of Edinburgh, while a'petition against the opening of the gardens had been signed principally by women and children in schools by compulsion. He also stated that the drunkenness on Sundays in Edinburgh exceeded that of any city, except Glas- gow, in the world, and urged that giving rational recreation to the people would tend there, as it had done elsewhere, to diminish that evn.— The LORD ADVOCATE pointed out that the gardens in question were strictly botanical, attached to the professorship of botany in the University of Edinburgh. They were of small extent, and could be of no particular advantage to a population like that of Edinburgh, which was surrounded by rural scenery and space for air and recreation within a less distance of the city than the Botanical Gardens, which were situated at a distance of two miles from thedwellingsof any of the working classes. He re- gretted that in such a case, where no necessity was shown, a ques- tion involving great diversity of opinion should be revived in the house.— Mr STIRLIN G hoped that the Government did not intend to oppose the motion until it was shown that what was right at Glas nevin in Dublin, and E. ew in London, was wrong in Edinburgh. The next question was, whether a section of the Scotch commu- nity should overrule the opinion of the remainder ?— The motion was supported by Mr Grant Duff and Mr V. Scully, and opposed by Mr Black, Mr Kinnaird, Mr Mure, and Major Hamilton.— Lovd PALMERSTON said if he were to vote according to his own opinion on the merits of the question he should support the motion, be- cause in the abstract he saw no harm in recreation of this kind on Sundays; but there was another question, and that was the public feeling in Scotland and Edinburgh, which was undoubtedly against the opening of these gardens on Sundays, and this feeling ought not to be violated without strong and paramount reasons, which in this case were wanting. There was no case of neces- sity, for Edinburgh in a remarkable degree possessed facilities for obtaining air and recreation, and did not require the addition of a small garden of 18 acres.— On a division, the motion was nega- tived by 123 to 107. NELSON'S MONUMENT.— The house then went into com- mittee of supply on Class I. of the Civil Service Estimates, re- suming progress at the item of £ 10,000 for the new Record Build- ings, Dublin, which, with £ 800 for the Franklin Monument, was agreed to.— On the vote of £ 6,000 for the Nelson Monument, Mr HANKEY complained of the delay of six years which had taken place in the completion of the liuns which were to complete the monument, the designs for which had been undertaken by Sir Edwin Landseer.— Mr W. COWPER admitted that the delay had been considerable, but it was owing to the ill health of Sir Edwin Landseer. He had studied the matter carefully, and it was to be hoped that the delay would result in something pre- eminently good. The designs and composition were completed, and the mere mechanical work would now proceed. He could not exactly say what the ultimate cost of the lions would be, but he thought they might be done in bronze for £ 12,000. TUESDAY— THE THIRTY- NINE ARTICLES.— Mr C. BUX- TON moved the following resolution:—" That in the opinion of this house the subscription required from the clergy to the Thirty- nine Articles and to the Prayer- book ought to be relaxed." The hon member explained that his object was simply to get rid of the stringent tests to which a clergyman is subjected at ordina- tion and on every promotion. He combated the opinion that these subscriptions are a real security for the teaching of sound doctrine. The real guarantee was the law of the land providing that a minister opposing the doctrine of the Church shall be re- moved from his position. These tests were not a legacy from the golden days of the Church of England; they had not come from her great statesmen, her great theologians, her noble army of martyrs; they were ugly excrescences stuck upon the Church in evil times. The restrictions were telling on the quality of the clergy, which was in danger of beine severed from the intelligence of the country. That process had begun. The falling off in the candidates for ordination from the Universities was deplorable. In the last twenty years the number of young men from Oxford and Cambridge who wished to take orders had fallen off from 242 to 120 at Oxford, and from 270 to 178 at Cambridge; while on the other hand the literates who had not received an university education had increased threefold. The falling oft, if measured by the honours the candidates had taken, was still worse. The doctrines of the Church had of late years been defined with more precision; and while these tests had thus become more stringent, men's minds had grown more daring in dealing with religious truth, and uniformity of belief was becoming every day less possible. If the Church would still demand from young men such an abnegation of all mental free- dom the worthiest would be the first to shrink back from so de- grading a bondage. The friends of the Church must wish her to be in very deed a national Church. Let her then move onward with the age, and lead the van of religious thought, let her deal boldly with truth and tenderly with error, then we need not doubt that our children's children will cherish and cleave to the church which our fathers founded for us, and sealed with their blood in the great days of old.— Sir GEORGE GREY moved the previous question, which, after some discussion, was agreed to, so the motion of Mr Buxton falls to the ground. WEDNESDAY— THE INNKEEPERS' LIABILITY BILL and THE SAVINGS BANK ACT AMENDMENT BILL passed through committee. ELECTION PETITIONS.— Mr HUNT, in moving the second reading, observed that though the details of the bill were involved in considerable difficulty, the principle, which was all the house had then to consider, was that no petition should be withdrawn without the circumstances under which the petition was presented and withdrawn being disclosed to a standing committee of the house. His objects were, he said, iirst to prevent sham petitions for the purpose of extortion, or of coercion, or of being paired off against another petition; secondly, to prevent any corrupt bargain in the case of a petition presented. He explained the main pro- visions of the bill.— The ATTORNEY- GENERAL said, in guarding against the evils in question the house must be very careful not unduly to interfere with the exereise of the right of petition ; and he was apprehensive the bill in its present form would, in a num- ber of instances, check that right. He pointed out various altera- tions which the bill would require, and believing that it might be so remodelled as to effect the good which all desired, he should support the second reading.— The bill wasthen read a second time. THURSDAY.- ENDOWED CHARITIES.— On the order for going into committee of supply, Mr. G. DUFF called attention to the abuses existing in many endowed charities, with especial re- ference to their bearing upon the amount of the vote for elementary education. He complained of the great waste of power caused by he manner in which the large revenues of some of these charities were administered, pointing out instances in which they were applied to superfluous, obsolete, or even mischievous objects, and might be devoted to educational purposes. Large sums of public money were obtained in certain counties where charitable endow- ments exiateel, ttes funds of which, if properly regulated, would THE CHARGE AGAINST A BAPTIST MINISTER.— On Wednes- day Thomas Wycherley, a Baptist minister, was tried for receiv- ing £ 50 and some jewellery from a woman named Newton, well knowing it to have been stolen from a Mrs Sophia Levi. The case has been repeatedly before the public. The prisoner, it seems, formed the acquaintance of Newton, who was servant to Mrs Levi, at a tea meeting, and subsequently obtained permission to visit her at her mistress's house for the good of her soul. Mrs Levi had no suspicion of anything wrong for a long time, during which Wycherley continued his visits. At length Newton ob- tained leave to visit her friends in the country, and it was then that Mrs Levi discovered that some of her jewellery was missing, and also £ 50 in notes. Newton shortly after gave herself up for robbing her mistress, was tried at Kingston, and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, which she is now undergoing. Subse- quent to this she stated that she had robbed her mistress at the instigation of Wycheriey, and that he had received the property. She was the principal witness against him, although there was plenty of corroborative evidence, and on his being convicted he was sentenced to six years' penal servitude. HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.— On Wednesday Geo. Williams, 20, labourer; John Johnson, 22, labourer; and Charles Hill, 30, labourer, were indicted for committing a robbery with violence on William Butler, and stealing from him 15s 9d. This was a case of highway robbery, attended with circumstances of very considerable cruelty. The prosecutor, who lives at No. 2, Hog- lane, Woolwich, was unable to appear, having had his arm broken by a fall from an omnibus, and having received serious injuries at the hands of the prisoners. He was at present confined in the accident ward of one of the City hospitals. His deposi tions were in court, and were read, but practically his account of the matter was immaterial, because the facts were established by the testimony of two independent witnesses who saw the occur- rence. It appeared that about one o'clock on the morning of the 29th of April he went to a house of ill- fame in Harding's- lane, Woolwich, and that oil coming out shortly afterwards he was tripped by the prisoners, knocked down, and kicked. The pri- soner Hill, upon pretence of raising him up, thrust his hand into his pockets and abstracted the 15s 9d. The prosecutor's face was covered with blood, and the unfortunate man was so savagely maltreated that he had to be placed under immediate surgical care. The prisoners were very shortly after apprehended on the road leading to Greenwich, and on the person of Hill were found a small auger, a chisel, and other implements of housebreaking. — The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners.— Evidence was then given to show that Johnson was convicted in 1861 at Greenwich, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour for stealing boots.— The Recorder sentenced Williams to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for eighteen calendar months, observing that his punishment was renderedthus comparatively light, simplybecause it had not been shown that he committed any actual violence, or that he had been previously convicted. Hill was sentenced to be kept in penal servitude for six, and Johnson to penal servitude for seven years. DARING BURGLARY BY TICKET- OF- LEAVE MEN.— On Wed- nesday R. O'Lochlin, 28, printer, and A. Hewitt, 30, smith, were indicted for breaking and entering the dwelling- house of Charles Compton Cavendish, Baron Chesham, and stealing therein five watches and a great variety of other articles, value £ 1,100. It ap- peared from the statement of counsel and the evidence of the various witnesses in the cases that this was one of the most daring and extensive robberies which have taken place in the metropolis for a length of time. On the night of the 12th of May Mr David Woderspoon, steward to Lord Chesham, saw that the upper part of his lordship's mansion in North Audley- street' was perfectly secure. He also observed that the servants'- hall was locked upon the inside, and that the doors at the back and front were well fastened. About a quarter after five o'clock on the following morning the under butler came downstairs for the purpose of pro- ceeding into the servants'- hall, when his attention was attracted by the circumstance that a strange mau was getting over a wall at- tached to the mansion, and that another man was making his escape across the leads. He immediately raised an alarm, and the upper butler sprang a rattle. Officer 145 C, who was on duty in North Audley- street at the time, heard the rattle, and saw the pri- soners drop from the wall He approached with the view of cap- turing them, whereupon Hewitt took from under his coat a long, heavy life- preserver, which heswunground his head, saying, " So help me, God, if you attempt to take me into custody I shall strike you with this." They then took to their heels, but the policeman jumped upon the box seat of a phaeton, which was going in the direction they were taking, and speedily came up with them. They were then apprehended, and upon being searched the whole of the stolen property was found in their pockets, pretty equally divided between them. That property, which for the most part belonged to Lord Chesham, a small part only of it being owned by Lord Dacre, consisted of gold watches, gold snuff- boxes, caskets coritainiiigjewellery, gold ornaments, silver spoons and forks, and other articles, the intrinsic value of the whole being somewhere between £ 1,000 and £ 1,100. The entire of this property was safe in the drawiug- room on the previous night.. The pri- soners had succeeded in effecting an entrance into the mansion by means of drawing asunder the iron bars in front of one of the basement windows, and this they appeared to have done with a rope well saturated with pitch. By dilating the distance between two of these bars a passage was made sufficiently wide to admit the body of a man, and then with a screwdriver they had drawn the staples of the doors of the servants' hall, and so obtained access to the drawing- room.— The prisoners were convicted, and it having been proved that they were habitual thieves, and moreover ticket- of- leave men, O'Lochlin was sentenced to ten, and Hewett to fifteen years' penal servitude. A FRAUDULENT BANKRUPT.— On Thursday Albert Hirschman, 26, described as a merchant, was arraigned on an indictment charging that he, having been duly adjudged a bankrupt, did, within three months of his bankruptcy, unlawfully obtain on credit large quantities of goods of considerable value, with intent to defraud. He was also charged with unlawfully disposing of his estate, with intent to defraud his creditors. It appeared from the opening statement of counsel that the prisoner, who is a fo- reigner, arrived in this country in August, 1861, and opened a place of business in Moorgate- street, having previously been a commission agent in Hamburg, where he occupied one small room as an office in connection with his uncle, one George Hirsch- man, whose name and trading transactions were brought promi- nently under consideration in the progress of the trial. A few months before settling here the prisoner opened an account with Messrs Spielman, bankers in Lombard- street, paying in small sums of £ 30 and £ 40 at a time, and sometimes drawing as much out the next day. On arriving in London to trade he had a balance at his banker's of £ 25 odd, and was in debt to people in Hamburg and elsewhere to the amount of £ 8,000, according to his own ac- count, but there was reason to believe his debts amounted in round numbers to as much as £ 13,000. On April 12 in the following year, 1862, he made a declaration of insolvency, and on the l' 4th of that month he was adjudged a bankrupt. His trading trans- actions in this country extended over a period of eight months, and in that interval he exported goods of the value altogether of about £ 23,000 to his uncle in Hamburg as consignee. Com- mencing business here in January, 1861, the prisoner, on the 14th of January in the following year, had incurred debts amounting to £ 11,049 to people in this country, and he had then overdrawn his account at his banker's. That was the amount of debt in- curred within the three months preceding the bankruptcy. He had purchased no less than £ 9,939 worth of goods, of which £ 5,692 worth remained unpaid; and at the time of his bankruptcy the whole amount of his debts in England and elsewhere was in round numbers £ 16,000, his assets being worth about £ 25. The goods he had sent to Hamburg were sold there at a loss of £ 8,157. During the three months preceding the bankruptcy the prisoner was being served with writs for small sums, which he was unable to pay, and in March last he went away suddenly to Hamburg, giving directions to his clerk that he had gone to Scotland. A letter, purporting to have been written from Hamburg on the 10th of September, 1861, by the prisoner's uncle to him, was much relied on during the trial. " By it the prisoner was reminded that before leaving Hamburg he had taken upon himself the payment of a debt of £ 5,000, which his father, now deceased, had owed to the writer, and five bills of exchange, each for £ 1,000, for three, four, five, six, and seven months were enclosed for the prisoner's acceptance, and to be re- turned accepted forthwith. The letter entered into some details as to the prisoner's family, of which the counsel for the prose- cution suggested he must have been previously well aware, seeing he had so recently arrived in this country from Hamburg. This, it was contended, was internal evidence that the letter had been concocted for purposes of fraud, and the more so as it was pro- duced without an envelope.— The prisoner was found guilty, and Baron Bramwell, in passing sentence, told the prisoner that the jury in his opinion had properly convicted him. The case was one of great enormity. It was manifest, whether or not he in- tended to pay his uncle a debt, that the secret of his operations from the beginning had been to send goods over to Hamburg to be disposed of by him, and so to leave the creditors here entirely at his mercy. It was a most extraordinary thing that the pri- soner should have got credit in this country in eight months to the amount of £ 23,000, but he appeared to have obtained a footing here and there by paying cash for goods in the first instance, and then procuring recommendations from one person to another. He had been convicted of a very grave offence, and one which de- served a severe punishment, because it was not committed on the spur of the moment, or in anger or passion, but deliberately, and by a person of education. The sentence was, and he should not be doing his duty if he passed a lighter one, that the convict be imprisoned for two years, with hard labour. AMERICA. NEW YORK, JUNE 3, 1: 30 P. M. Despatches from Washington of yesterday state that General Halleck had received news from General Grant, dated the 29th ult, reporting that the situation of affairs at Vicksburg was un- changed. The Government still suppresses the details of General Grant's despatches. On the 26th ult the Gunboat Cincinnati, which attempted to pass Vicksburg, was sunk by the fire of the Confederate batteries. More than twenty of the crew of the Cincinnati were either killed or wounded by the enemy's shot, or drowned when_ the vessel sank. The Richmond Despatch of the 30th ult says, " The fate of Vicksburg is still suspended in the balance. Our own telegrams have been encouraging, but they lack the distinctness essential in such cases to bring relief to the public mind. The suspense can- not long continue. The resistance has been, from all accounts, determined, and let us continue to hope that it will be successful." Commodore Lardner is to supersede Admiral Wilkes in the West Indies. It is asserted that Wilkes has been superseded in consequence of representations made at Washington by Lt, Yd Lyons. The Federal Government desires to maintain at this U'" 9^ the most amicable relations with that of Great Britain. By arrivals from New Orleans yesterday accounts are received of an engagement which took place on the 22dult, at Port Hudsoa Plains, four miles in the rear of Port Hudson, between a portion of the forces of General Banks, under the command of General Augur, and the Confederate outposts. Desultory fighting and skirmishing were kept up far nine hours. The Confederates gradually retired to their intrenchments, leaving their dead and wounded on the field, which the Federals claim to have occupied at night. A flag of truce was afterwards sent by Gen Gardner, the commandant at Port Hudson, to Gen Augur, asking permis- sion to bury the dead. It is believed that an assault has already been or soon will be made by the Federals upon the rear defences of Port Hudson. Later advices from New Orleans, received to- day by the steamer George Cornwell, ) eport the complete investment of Port Hud- son by the combined armies of Generals Grover, Weitzel, Sher- man, and Augur. A continuous fire from 100 guns was directed upon the place, aided by the mortars and gunboats upon the river. Letters from New Orleans, of the 23d ult, report that two Con- federate ironclads from Mobile had ruu out of the harbour and captured the Federal ship of war Vincennes, and sunk the store- ship Relief which were lying at Ship Island. THE CAPTURE OF PUEBLA- PARIS, J UNE 12. The Emperor has received the congratulations of the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia on the capture of Puebla. The report of General Forey is not expected to arrive in Paris- until the beginning of July. On the 18th ult a division of the French army was marching on the city of Mexico. The declaration of the bishops relative to the elections, and the letter of the Archbishop of Tours, have been referred to the Coun- cil of State, on account of their being an abuse of power. THE ATTEMPT TO EXTORT MONEY FROM EARL SPENCER- To- day, at Marlborough- street, James Mills, clerk, was finally examined, charged with sending a letter to Earl Spencer, threaten- ing to accuse him of an infamous offence, unless he paid a sum of money, and George Peacock Smith was charged with aiding and abetting Mills. The previous evidence having been read over, Earl Spencer was examined. He said that on Tuesday last he was at Roehampton. His letters had been forwarded to him from town, and among them was the letter now produced ( which was quite unfit for publication). It was in a handwriting which was quite unknown to him. He had never had communication either personal or written with the prisoner, and had never seen either of them before to the best of his belief.— Mr Lewis, jun, in ad- dressing the court for Smith, contended that there was no evidence to show that he had anything to do with the charge; all that had been proved against him was that he had been asked by Mills to accompany him to North- umberland- street- Smith knew nothing about the letter He was a respectable lad, and had come up from the country merely to sell a horse for his father, and while in town he had lodged with his sister in Sutherland- street.— The father and sister of the prisoner Smith gave evidence to that effect. The sister said that she knew that Mills had lived in the neighbourhood for a short time, but she did not know how her brother became ac- quainted with him.— Mr Knox said the evidence of the father and sister was such as might be expected from them, but they could not be aware of what Smith was doing while staying in London. He certainly was found in the company of Mills, a young man who had been guilty of an offence which was, in his opinion, far worse than murder. Smith had, no doubt, got into bad company, and might have been made a tool of ; but the two lads were toge- ther in a cab, and were seen reading the letter together under a lamp and in close companionship.— His honour then committed both prisoners for trial. THE BLUE- EYED JILT. To- day, at Clerkenwell, a young man with Dundreary whis- kers, a low, narrow forehead, a dingy complexion, and pro- truding jaw, applied for advice under the following circum- stances :— He stated that he had loved, and had been deceived. He had fallen in love with a lady for her hair— a light, golden- tinted brown, with long undulating waves, and, in addition, beau, tiful blue eyes with wonderful lashes. He had proposed and been accepted, had made her a present of his carte de visite and of a wedding ring, and was just on the point of being married when he took his intended to the Rye House. He left her seated in the- beautiful rosary, and on his return he found a young man seated by her side, Ewho treated him very cavalierly. He had been made a perfect victim of, for this was not the first time that he had been served in the same way, and he wanted to know whether he could recover his property.— The magistrate said as he had given the articles to the young lady he should think she was entitled to keep them. The only remedy would be in the county court.— Tha applicant said he should certainly try that means, and left the court amidst the laughter of all present. ROBBERY IN A CAB. To- day, at Lambeth, Alfred Finn ( a cab- driver), George Oxford, Charles James Wright, Ellen Carver, and Sarah Haynes were charged with stealing from the person of Mr George Harding a gold watch and a check for £ 10. The prosecutor, who is a stone" merchant and builder, residing in Addington- square, Camber" well, hired a cab driven by Finn, on Friday week, to take him home. He was the worse for liquor at the time, and when he en. tered the cab he was followed by the female prisoners ( common prostitutes), while Oxford ( a convicted thief) got on the box with the driver. They pulled up at two or three public- houses, where all the prisoners had drink, which the prosecutor paid for, and finally stopped in front of a brothel in Walworth, where all got out. A policeman, however, who knew the prosecutor, asked him if he was aware what sort of company he was in ? This in- duced him to examine his pockets, and he then found he had been robbed of his watch and a check for £ 10. The prisoners were at once taken into custody, with the exception of Wright, who was apprehended on the following morning, just after he had pledged the stolen watch.— Committed for trial. TROTTING. A match came off at Wolverhampton on Monday, June 8, between Mr Beckett's bay mare Brown Duchess and Mr Hay- ward's black mare Black Bess, two miles, for £ 5 a side, starting from the third milestone on the Stafford- road. The black had the best of the start by about 10 yards, but the bay soon passed her, and at the end of the first half mile was 20 yards in advance. At the end of the mile the black had reduced it to about five yards. At a mile and a quarter she passed the bay, who fell weak from want of condition, and after a severe struggle the black was pro- claimed the winner by about 12 yards. They were both ridden by their respective owners. DAISY AND POTATOE BOB.— Articles of Agreement made this 5th day of J une, between Henry Harrison and Enoch Read ; the said Henry Harrison agrees to back his pony Daisy against the said Enoch Read's Potatoe Bob, to trot 20 miles, 10 miles out and in, for £ 100 a side, on a fair turnpike- road, over 20 and under 50 miles of Birmingham, Mr Charles Wheeler to be referee; should either pony break, to be pulled up into a trot; either party refusing to pull up when caWed upon by the referee to lose the match ; to come off'on Wednesday, the 8th day of July, 1863 ; to be on the ground prepared to trot at three o'clock, p. m.; £ 10 is now down in the hands of Mr Hallam ; the next deposit of £ 15 a side to be made at Mr Parkinson's, the Army and Navy, Great Brook- street, on Monday, the 15th of June; the next deposit of £ 25 a side to be made at Mr Hallam's, the 22d of June; the next deposit of £ 25 a side to be made at Mr Wheeler's, the Cross Keys, on Mon- day, the 29th of June; the next and final deposit of £ 25 to be made at Mr Hallam's, July 1st.

CHILD MURDER. To- day, at Westminster, Elizabeth Harvey, 21 years of age, was committed for trial, charged with murdering a female child, of which she had been recently delivered. The prisoner had been for two months in the service ofj a family in Lowndes- square, where she was taken ill, and was attended by Mr Dickenson who, on his second visit, discovered that she had been delivered of a child. Upon search being made in her room a full grown child was found in the prisoner's box, with its head nearly severed from the body. A razor was also found in a drawer in her room covered with blood. EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERYIN iN AUSTRALIAN SHIP. A very remarkable discovery has just been made in one of Messrs Green's ships recently arrived in the port of London from Australia. The ship The Result was being overhauled a day or two ago in the London Dock, when the skeleton of a man was found standing upright. He was dressed, but all his flesh had dried up on his bones, and his clothes therefore hung loosely about him. On searching him a sum of twelve shillings in silver was found in his pocket, but no other property of any kind. It is supposed that the man had not the means to pay for his passage and secreted himself in some part of the vessel, and was either suffocated, or that in consequence of the manner in which the cargo was packed he found it impossible to escape from his place of confinement. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS- The minimum of the Bank of England remains at 4 per cent, but it was generally assumed that the directors at their meeting on Thursday would have had to make an advance of | per cent. The demand for accommodation in the early part of the week was consequently augmented, and very little business was negotiated in the open market under the official quotation. The executive, however, did not find it necessary to modify their regulations. The council of the Bank of France, on the other hand, have an- nounced an alteration in their rate from 3j to 4 per cent, so that the value of money in both countries is now equal. An active trade is now going on in most departments of business, the principal exceptions being those especially affected by the American war. At the Stock Exchange operations, although on a smaller scale, still indicate active speculation, especially in the foreign depart- ment. Consols have shown rather a retrograde tendency, and the closing prices yesterday were 91f 92 for money and 92j | for the account. SATURDAY EVENING. The English Funds to day have been a shade firmer. Consols closed at 92 to 92g for money, and 92| for the account. — _ " In the Foreign Market Greek Bonds advanced namely, t 38| 39; the New Venezuelan Loan 1 j to If, 2| prem, and Mexican Stock J to 37s f. Turkish Bonds were flat. The Old Six per Cents were quoted 92 to 93, the Loan of 1858 70J 70|, the Loan of 1862 71| 71|. Railway Shares generally were J per cent higher. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares remained at about previous rates. VOLUNTEER INTELLIGENCE. THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.— AS the rifles issued by the National Rifle Association to the competitors for the Queen's Prize have, it appears, been all made short in the stock, I am di- rected by the Council to state that there will be no objection to the lengthening of the stock, if required, provided it is done without injury to the butt, and the regulation length is not ex- ceeded.— By order, EDMOND ST JOHN MILDMAY, Secretary.
