All connected with the animals deem winning a certainty, fearing nothing in the race. C. Oakley is determined his subscribers and friends shall win large stakes at Goodwood, ftc, and this they certainly will do if they invest freely on his choice. Charles Oakley, in returning his sincere thanks to his old subscribers and friends for their continued support, begBto assure them their liberal patronage is fully appreciated, and they may rest assured no effort shall be wanting on his part to justify their continued confidence. C. Oaklev would impress on all who speculate on the Turf the absolute necessitv of having sound and re- liable information, for it maybe trulv asserted that without the as- sistance of a competent and successful adviser, who is In a position to quickly learn the result of trials, if horses are doing (? x> d work, and meant, also when the right money is going on, ftc, it is impossible to win handsomely. For sound and genuine information applv to C. Oak- ley, who, from his great experience and extensive means of procuring the very best information, stands unrivalled.

The prospects of the society were very cheering, and seeing they had shown this evening the longest eared rabbit that had been exhibited in the society for the last two years, it augured well for the future ; and if the members would only put their shoulders to the wheel he had no doubt they would continue to increase in prosperity, and preserve the great prestige that had always attached to their club. The toast was drunk with enthu- siasm by all present. The'- Chairman," " Vice- Chair," and " Hon Secretary's" healths having been proposed and duly responded to, the meeting separated highly pleased.— A. Bancks chairman, W. H. Wynne vice.

The Emperor says to General Forey, the capture of Puebla " fills me with joy." No doubt it does. The expedition to Mexico ought never to have been undertaken for the purposes for which the Emperor really entered upon it. Those purposes were his own domination, the giving away of the Mexican throne to an Austrian Archduke, and the firmer establishment of the Papal rule in Mexico. Frenchmen are not a little inclined to run wild about military glory, but many among them had the sense to perceive that this was a folly" fatal to their interests and their liberties, and the Mexican expedition, being very costly both in men and money, was beginning to be a danger for the Govern- ment. For the moment this danger is averted. Military glory acquired abroad is used to dazzle the eyes of the many, and to blind them to their affairs at home. How long it can be used for such a purpose it is impossible to say. France will have to pay much in treasure, and has paid much in blood, for the recent suc- cess. The gallantry of the French army has rescued the Emperor from a pressing difficulty, but only for a time. The Mexican business cannot be settled by the capture of Puebla, and even now reinforcements are required to leave France for Mexico. The short report of General Forey does full justice to the Mexican troops, whom it fairly describes as having been " re- duced to the greatest extremities." But if this is so, how miscalculating was the Government which imagined that they could be conquered off hand, and which, by the offer of the throne to an Austrian Archduke, exemplified in the most perverse way the folly of " counting the chickens before they were hatched." It is now asserted by La France itself that President Juarez has de- creed the transfer of the seat of Government to San Luis Polosi. This does not look as if the conquest of the city of Mexico would terminate the war. The French army has won a success sufficient to satisfy its desire for glory, and the Mexican campaign ought to terminate. Its continuance will but indicate a determination to impose by foreign force upon an independent people a Govern- ment which they dislike. The expenditure of French blood and French money on such a cause can bring nothing but discredit upon France. ARMY REGULATIONS. As Lieut- Colonel Crawley is to be brought to a court martial for his treatment of Sergt- Major Lilley, we shall say nothing now as to the merits of the case, but it is impossible to avoid observing that if this proceeding is to produce any good results, it must pro- duce a change in the principles of army management. What is a matter of right and duty in the highest quarters, seems at present to be very little understood. It appears to be supposed that a co- lonel cannot be brought to account for alleged misconduct towards a subaltern, if the colonel's superiors, acting on his report of the case, approve of what he has done; however wrong he maybe, their approval settles the whole matter, and they themselves can- not be called to account for giving the approval. A more ridiculous piece of folly, treated as a matter of reasoning, could not exist; treated as a regulation for the management of any body of men, a more mischievous one could hardly be adopted. It is in direct con- tradiction to every principle of justice, aye, and to every principle of well- regulated authority. It leaves a person who may abuse the great powers entrusted to him entirely the master of what is ( face- tiously) called his " responsibility," for of course his own report will not impugn his own conduct, and if his superiors think fit to adopt his version, and without farther inquiry to declare his con- duct proper, he is absolved. But again, for some little time it was believed that these sage army regulations prevented any in- quiry into the conduct of Generals- in- Chief in India, who might thus approve of a colonel's errors. On Monday night the Duke of Cambridge informed the House of Lords that the army in India was governed by the generals there, and not by the Commander- in- Chief. With happy inconsistency he then added that he was only the ultimate " referee." What is the meaning which his royal highness attaches to this word it is difficult to imagine. With all other men it means the office of a court of final appeal. The Duke of Cambridge refers to a past time and a different state of circumstances to show that he has at present lie direct power. Because in former times the Commander- in- Chief at the Horse Guards did not interfere with Indian sentences, he fancies that the Commander- in- Chief at the Horse Guards has no power of interference now. He forgets that while the East India Company existed the royal troops were only in the condition of auxiliaries in India ; and that, though the individual Commander- in- Chief in India was appointed by the Crown, the power of regulating the army in India was in the Government in India. As soon as the Government of India was vested in the Crown all this was Q" anged, and the troops in India became as much subject to the V dfcrs and authority of the Commander- in- Chief at the Horse Oivuai'ds as were English troops in any other dependency. It is a Ppity that this matter was not explained to him before he uttered his speech in the House of Lords, wherein he made out that he had, and likewise that he had not, pewer, and ended by saying that he had ordered a court- martial, which, if the earlier part of his speech was correct, was an order entirely beyond his authoritj7. It is some satisfaction to knowthat a court- martial will be held, and it is to be hoped that the system of shutting out evidence by placing witnesses under arrest will be for ever abolished. It is a system quite in accordance with Russian despotism, but it is in direct opposition to English honour. THE SOUTH KENSINGTON BUSINESS. " When they do agree their unanimity is wonderful." Think of the present and the ex- Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Right Hon W. E. Gladstone and the Right Hon Benjamin Disraeli, combining their followers in one common effort to carry a par- ticular measure The combination at first sight seems impos- sible, and certainly is wonderful. There must be some potent motive at the bottom of it. There always has been strange mys- tery about this South Kensington business. No one understands why, no one explains why; but so it is, that officials, both ex- isting and potential, alike agree on this, that, at any cost of com- mon sense and public advantage, everything intended for the amusement and instruction of the Londoners, and especially of the working classes of the Londoners, ought to be concentrated at South Kensington. Of course their object is ( that the world is called on to take for granted) to make amusement and instruction easy of a ttainment for the working classes, and equally of course it must be that this object is best to be attained by removing their means of instruction and amusement to the greatest possible dis- tance from them. So argue the Ministers, so agree with them those who have been, and hope again to be, Ministers, and so vote the followers who vote exactly as they are bidden. The most in- dependent testimony, the plainest dictates of common sense, are alike rejected, and a majority of almost 2 to 1 carries a vote which is but the beginning of the scheme to denude the metropolis of ail its best gratuitous public exhibitions. It is hardly now disguised thatthe British Museum is to have half its value destroyed, and that the Museum of Practical Geology— that most excellent insti- tution— is to be removed. Indeed so plain is the intention as to the latter, that, though Mr Gregory showed that the addition of a house adjoining the Museum of Geology ( a house now the property of the Government) would make that Museum perfect in its arrangements, the suggestion of adding it was treated with contempt, and not the slightest indication was given that this cheap improvement of a most valuable means of public education would be adopted. No, the scheme is to buy at a heavy price that which must inevitably occasion a heavy loss. To buy land, the purchase of which, though an error in it « elf, will be given as a reason why, one error having been committed, others are also to be committed. Buy your land— it is wrong to buy it; but when you have bought it, you must be wrong again in buying the building upon it; and all this for the purpose of being most wrong of all, namely, in taking away from the reach of the working classes of the metropolis those things which might afford them at once the most innocent recreation and the most instructive and advantageous amusement. The Exhibition building will now be bought. The vote of Monday will be used as a justification for this purchase, and Lord Palmerston pretends that he knows how much the repara- tion of it will cost. How can he do so? Those who advocate its purchase admit it to be bad both in. foundation and in roof— though they assert that its walls are sufficient. Is it not plain that the purchase will involve the pulling of it down ? And can any one doubt that they who now propose to purchase it know this full well. Why should not this labour be left to its construc- tors ? The building was erected for a particular purpose— it an- swered for that purpose, but was not at the time pretended to be erected as a permanent structure. It will now be bought as if it was fit, or all but fit, to be permanent. A very eminent architect, Mr Mallett, who has no interest in the matter, has declared its unfitness. Another architect, also eminent, Mr Hunt, but having the bias which office always creates to please and satisfy higher officials, pretends that he knows the exact extent to which public expenditure need go in order to render the building thoroughly fit for the purposes for which it is wanted. Where are" his estimates? Where are the rea- sons on which he founds his conclusions? The Ministers have them not, or else keep them back. An examination of them might prove that he has made a mere rough guess, a sort of gossip as- sertion, by which, when his professional reputation was appealed to, he would not allow himself to be bound. Yet any examina- tion into his reasons is refused— the House of Commons is auda- ciously bidden to believe without inquiry, and a large majority in the" house, regardless of all that is due" to the public interests, blindly does as it is bid. There is so much mystery about all this business that suspicion is naturally awakened. Before the discussion of the next vote the metropolis ought to bestir itself, to save itself from spoliation and the country from wastefulness. VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES TO OXFORD. The Commemoration of 1893 at Oxford will constitute an epoch in the annals both of the university and city, and will long be remembered for the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the festivities which accompanied their presence on the occa- sion. The royal party arrived at Culham station on Tuesday, shortly after half- past eleven o'clock, where it was received by the Oxfordshire Yeomanry Cavalry, under the command of Lord Churchill, and conducted through Nuneham Park. Triumphal arches were erected at Rose- hill and in the Iffley- road, and at these points there were crowds of persons wha cheered the royal party as they passed. Punctual to the hour stated ( half- past twelve), the prince and princess arrived at Magdalen Bridge, where addresses were presented by the university and the city. The procession then passed along High- street in the midst of a splendid ovation from the loyal citizens, till it entered Christ- church, which has always claimed the honour of receiving the monarchs of England when they came to Oxford. Here they were received by the dean, Dr Liddell. In the quadrangle were drawn up the University Volunteers, and the Princess of Wales then presented to the winners the prizes in the late rifle contest, as follows:— Prince of Wales's Cup: Sergeant Medlicot, Ch Ch. Colonel Bowyer's Cup : Mr Macray, University. Rifle presented by Sergeants: Mr Honey, Exeter. Rifle presented by Rev Mr Tyrwhitt: Corporal Allen, B. N. C. Sergeant Middleton will receive a Cup won by No. 6 Company. Pictures: No. 1 Company, Sergeant Campbell, Ch Ch. ,, No. 2 Company, Sergeant Davis, Jesus. ,, No. 3 Company, Sergeant Stonhouse. B. N. C. „ No. 4 Company, Mr Walker, University. „ No. 5 Company, Mr Ricketts, St John's. No. 6 Company, Sergeant H. Norsworthy, Magdalen. Another prize, called a Second Prize, presented by Captain Parker, will be presented to Sergeant G. Norsworthy, " of Magda- len, the winner. The next move was to the theatre, where the Earl of Derby, as Chancellor, handed the diploma of D C. L. to the Prince of Wales, and in the evening the royal pair were present at the Masonic ball, held in the town hall. On Wednesday the ceremony of conferring honorary degrees took place, when'the following were admitted D. C. L., viz., the Right Hon Earl Granville, K. G., Lord President of the Council; his Grace the Duke of Newcastle, K. G., Secretary of State far the Colonies; his Excellency M. l'orben de Bille, Minister Plenipotentiary from the King of'Den- mark; the Right Hon Edward Cardwell, M. A., Balliol, Chan- cellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, M. P. for the City of Oxford; the Right Hon James Whiteside, Q C,, M. P. for the University of Dublin; Sir Stafford Henry Northcote, M. A., Balliol, M. P. for Stamford; Sir Hugh M'Calmont Cairns, Q. C., M. P. for Belfast; Mr William Robert Seymour Vesey Fitzgerald, M. A., Oriel, M. P. for Horsham. This ceremony over, the prize poems and essays having been recited, and lunch having been got through at All Souls, the royal party proceeded to the river, and, from the university barge, were witnesses of an eight- oared race and the annual procession of boats. A ball, given by the students of Christ Church, was opened by7 the prince and princess in the evening at the new Corn Exchange. Thursday was devoted by the royal party to visiting the princi- pal places worth seeing in the ancient city. In the afternoon they left by railway, and Oxford subsided into the dull repose of the Long Vacation. MANSION HOUSE BANQUET. At the banquet given by the Lord Mayor to Her Majesty's Min- isters on Wednesday evening, Lord Palmerston, in returning thanks for that body, said :—" Addressing, as I do, representa- tives of this great commercial capital of the world, for I may, without disparagement to any other, say that, in extensive com- merce, in wealth, in all that constitutes commercial evidence, London may fairly claim to be at the head of other cities ; but, in addressing this commercial body, I may congratulate you on the healthful and prosperous condition of the commercial interests of the country. In human affairs there are difficulties which ap- pear greater at a distance than when they are boldly faced, and when even we approach nearer to meet them. Thus for many years it was supposed that if any event, political or physical, should deprive this country of that great staple of its industry- cotton— ruin, bankruptcy, and desolation would be the inevitable consequence. That difficulty7 has, however, come ; that calamity has fallen upon us. We have survived it; and although I do not mean to deny that in parts of the country, and with regard to a large portion of the manufacturing and commercial industry, it has been accompanied with great and severe distress, yet, taking the nation at large, we are happy to find that our general industry and commerce have not suffered; that our commerce has sus- tained scarcely any diminution; and that, in spite of that calamity, the revenue of the country has been in a prosperous and healthy state, so much so as to enable the Govern- ment to propose important and great reductions in taxation. National prosperity and commercial prosperity depend generally upon the continuance of peace, and although there may be questions pending which are of a grave character, yet I trust we may flatter ourselves that those questions are susceptible of a friendly, satisfactory, and peaceable solution by means of negotia- tions instead of by an appeal to arms [ loud cheers]. This country may boast that its relations with all other nations of Europe, and, I will say, also of America, in spite of that little outpouring of sentiment, which is not quite so friendly— we may boast that our relations with other Governments of the world are friendly. There are two powers upon whose friendship and understanding, or upon whose differences and animosities, mainly depend the question of peace or of disturbance in Europe— I mean England and France— and I am happy to say that on all those great ques- tions upon which the issues of peace or war depend— whether in the far West or in the distant East— there exists between the Governments of England and France the most friendly and honourable concert [ great cheering]. The interests of those two great countries must be identical, and the Goverments of both are sufficiently enlightened to know that these interests lie in the same direction. If any pledge were required of tke friendly disposition of the Emperor of the French, I would point to my honourable and distinguished friend on my left, Baron Gros, the French Ambassador [ cheers]. Baron Gros has had much inter- course in many parts of the world with British diplomatists; his intercourse has invariably been of the most friendly character, honourable to his country, and courteous and friendly to his ally [ cheers], I allude, my lotds and gentlemen, to the presence of Baron Gros, as representing the Emperor of the French in London, as a pledge of the sincerity of the alliance between the countries [ renewed cheers]. I trust that there are no clouds in the horizon which may not vanish and melt into thin air, and that whatever questions may still be pending— and I d ® not disguise the fact that there are questions of grave importance ponding— I trust, I say, that negotiations conducted on the principles of justice and of right may lead those questions to a happy solution, and that nothing may occur to retard that progress of civilisation and industry, of art and intelligence, in which the nations of Europe are, I trust, destined uninterruptedly to follow [ cheers]. ARRIVAL OF CAPTAINS SPEKE AND GRANT AT SOUTHAMPTON- — The Pera has arrived with Captains Speke and Grant, the dis- coverers of the source of the Nile. Both gentlemen have nearly recovered from the frightful hardships they have undergone dur- ing the last three years. They are tall, well- knit men, and well qualified for African travelling. Captain Grant suffered much from fever; but he now seems the" healthier of the two. He only experiences pains now from old wounds, having lost part of his hand at the seige of Lucknow. Captain Speke suffered in Africa from a disease in one of his lungs. They describe the countries through which they have passed as marvellously fertile. SIR CHARLES LOCOCK.— On Tuesday morning Sir Charles Lo- cock sustained a serious accident by a fall from his horse. It ap- pears that he rode on horseback in Rotten- row during the morn- ing, and on his return to his residence at the corner of Hertford- street, Park- lane, his horse suddenly stumbled, and threw him with some violence, and then rolled upon him. Assistance was promptly rendered, and Sir Charles was extricated as soon as pos- sible, and taken into his residence. Upon examination it was discovered that the injuries consisted of a fracture of the right arm, just above the elbow, and much straining of the muscles of one of his legs. We are happy to say that Sir Charles is progres- sing favourably. HEALTH or THE METROPOLIS.— For the first time in the present year the weekly deaths in London have fallen below 1,200. In the week that ended Saturday, June 13, the number was 1,186. The average number of deaths as obtained from the corresponding week in each of ten years 1853- 62, and corrected for increase of population, is 1,143. The number now returned is therefore 43 in excess of the number obtained by calculation. Last week the births of 995 boys and 1,000 girls, in all 1,995 children, were re- gistered in London. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29' 444in. The mean temperature of the. air was 54 7 degrees. FATAL ACCIDENT TO MISS BURDETT COUTTS'S COACHMAN.— On Monday Mr W. Payne held an inquiry at 8t Bartholomew's Hospital respecting the death of Francis Hardy, aged sixty- five years, who lost his life on the night of the City ball.— Joseph Smith, footman to Mis3 Burdett Coutts, said that deceased was that lady's coachman. On Monday night, June 8, he drove the carriage to Guildhall, on the occasion of the ball to the Prince and Princess of Wales. He was to return for Miss Coutts at twelve o'clock, and he put up the carriage at Dyer's, in Finsbury- place, and witness left him in the street. About ten o'clock witness met him in the parlour of the Grapes, in London- wall. He was quite sober. They had some bread and cheese. He left the room and witness heard a noise. Witness and others ran out, and after searching about found deceased lying at the bottom of several steps, perfectly senseless. He appeared to have gone along the passage into the yard, where he evidently mistook the door of a sort of cellar for that of the closet, and fell headlong to the bottom of the steep stairs. He never rallied, and died soon after from the injuries.— The coroner having remarked on the sad nature of the occurrence, the jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. YOUNG PHEASANTS.— This bird may be successfully reared by using French meal. It contains many herbal properties of an aromatic and stimulating nature, as well as ingredients of a highly nutritive character, which are the productive agents for develop- ing the growth of the young birds, and imparting warmth in wet weather. There is, perhaps, no class of game the rearing of which incurs so much expense and trouble as the pheasant, and, con- sidering the numbers that are lost from want of strength to enable them to stand against bad weather, it behoves every keeper to have something more than a watchful eye in the rearing and pre- serving his offspring. It prevents the young birds from falling a sacrifice to that almost fatal disease the gapes, and keeps them healthy. There is no food that promotes early feathering so rapidly as this meal. Its wonderful agency may be observed in a few days. Sold by Durrant and Co, Stoke, Norwich. Price £ 2 2s per cwt. No gamekeeper should be without it, FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The elections continue to show how unpopular with large con- stituencies are the ministerial candidate. M Guesoult of the Opinion Rationale has been elected in the sixth Arrondissement at Paris by 17,495 votes against 11,016 given to M Lepelietier, the Government candidate. The news of the capture of Puebla has come just in time to assist the Government, and the Emperor in a letter to Gen Forey says, and no doubt with the most earnest sincerity, that " this event has filled me with joj7.'' The success of the French arms will satisfy, or at least silence many who would otherwise inquire why the Mexican expedition was ever under- taken. Gen Forey's account of the affair is as follows :—" Mon- sieur le Marechal: Puebla is in our power! the battle of San Lorenza having dispersed the army of Comonfort, who desired to force our lines and revictual Puebla; the garrison, which had long suffered from hunger, notwithstanding it had laid hands upon everything the population possessed, was in the greatest extremities. On the other hand, the trenches having been opened before the fort of Teotimehuacan, and our armed batteries, of thirty pieces of various calibre, having commenced firing on the 16th against the fort, and completely destroyed its armament in a couple of hours, the situation of the place, against which two vigorous attacks were directed, became very critical. In this state of things General Ortega made overtures to me for capitulating, but as he demanded no less than to leave the place with the honours of war, arms, baggage, and field artillery, and the right to march towards Mexico, I re- jected these extraordinary propositions, and told him that I would consent that he should leave with the honours of war, but that his army should defile before the French forces and lay down its arms, remaining prisoners of war, promising that I would observe the usages familiar to civilised communities towards a garrison which had bravely performed its duty. These propositions were not accepted by General Ortega, who, during the night of the 16th and 17th dissolved the army, had its arms broken, the cannon spiked, and the powder magazines blown up, and then sent me a message to announce that the garrison had terminated its defence, and placed itself at my disposal. At day- break 12,000 men, the greater part without arms, without uni- forms, without equipments, the whole having broken their weapons and thrown them away in the streets, surrendered as prisoners in our camp, whilst the officers, to the number of- 1,000 to 1,200, of whom 26 were generals, and more than 200 superior officers, sent word that they were assembled at the palace of the Government, awaiting my orders. All the material of the place is in our hands, and appears to have been but in part and incom- pletely injured. The army is elated with joy, and is going to march in a few days upon Mexico.— I am, General of Division, & e, " FOREY.'' The Emperor has received letters of congratulation on the cap- ture of Puebla from the Kings of Italy, Portugal, and Sweden. DENMARK. The Frankfort Diet has agreed to a report recommending a request to be made to the Danish Government to withdraw its ordinance of the 30th March respecting Schleswig Holstein. The Danish Minister at the Diet has protested against the report. POLAND. The insurgent leader, Broniewski, has met with considerable success at Nagoszew, in the palatinate of Plock. In Lithuania an engagement favourable to the insurgents has taken place at Olkienika, near Kowno. Governor Mcuravieff has committed fresh atrocities, having caused the Abbe Zumecki and the land- owner, Leskowicz, to be shot, and the Polish chief, Colysko, to be hung. The united bands of Culier and Raczkows were attacked on three sides, near Klezerow, in the government of Kalisch, north of Konin, and completely routed. The loss of the insur- gents in killed was enormous. Twenty prisoners and the whole of the baggage fell into the hands of the troops. Colonel Lapinski's expedition, which was stationed for a long time at Maimo, has unsuccessfully endeavoured to disembark, during a tempest at Polangen, a village on the Baltic coast, in the Govern- ment of Wilna. The expedition made the passage on board a Danish ship. Twenty- four Frenchmen were drowned in the at- tempt to disembark. The insurgent chief, Abiclit, and the Capucin priest, Konarski, were hung on Friday in front of the citadel of Warsaw. The Archbishop of Warsaw, having protested against this sentence, has been arrested and transported to St. Petersburg. After the execution of the insurgent chief, Heinrieh Abicht, and the Capuchin monk, Konarski, the Grand Duke Constantine received a warning from the National Government that it could no longer be responsible for his safety. Cruelty will occasion reprisals. M Enoch, Secretary of State, was invited to a private party at the residence of the Grand Duke. On that very day prisoners were brought to Warsaw. The Grand Duke asked what was to be done with them, the citadel being filled. M Enoch replied, " The old must be sent to Siberia, and the young incorporated in the army." The conversation took place in French, and, with the exception of the Grand Dnke's family, no one was present except two aides- de- camp. Two hours after, M Enoch, on returning home, was surprised to find a letter from the National Government, in which his own words were quoted, and threatening him with a halter. General Mouravieff has issued an ordinance, proclaiming that the penalty of the knout will be inflicted upon all ladies dressed in mourning. Several ladies are detained as hostages, and are threatened with death, unless their husbands surrender themselves to the authorities. AUSTRIA. The Emperor has opened the Reichsrath in a congratulatory and hopeful speech. He recommends legal reforms, comprising oral proceedings, publicity, and trial by jury. RUSSIA- The Journal de St Petersburg publishes a despatch, addressed by Prince Gortschakoff to Mr Clay, expressing the Emperor's satisfaction at the reply of Mr Seward to the proposal of France to join the diplomatic intervention in favour of Poland. The de- spatch concludes as follows:—" Such facts draw closer the bonds of sympathy between Russia and America. The Emperor knows now to appreciate the firmness with which Mr Seward maintains the principle of non- isterveiition." AMERICA. Northern advices from Vicksburg report the siege of that place to be progressing, and General Grant to be erecting earthworks for the protection of the troops, and to be mining in order to blow up some Confederate forts. The bombardment of Vicksburg by the fleet appears to have little effect, and Admiral Porter reports that the works are stronger than they dreamed of. President Lincoln has revoked General Burnside's order suppressing the Chicago Times, which has resumed its publication. General Burn- side has withdrawn the order suppressing the New York World in his department. A large meeting has been held at Chicago, de- nouncing General Burnside, and the Illinois Legislature has re- quested the Government to withdraw his order, and has called the attention of the Governor of Illinois te Gen Burnside's invasion of the state sovereignty. A Democratic state peace convention was held inside and outside of the Cooper Institute at New York. Resolu- tions were passed declaring that the Government has no constitu- tional power to coerce states by military force. If the power of coercion exists it is of a legal, and not of a military character. The Democracy cannot sustain a war against sovereign states. Mr Vallandigham's arrest and the exercise of military law were strongly denounced, and hopes were expressed that Vallandigham will be elected Governor of Ohio. The resolutions recommend the suspension of hostilities, and that a convention of the Con- federate States and a separate convention of the Federal 8tates shall be held to determine how the contending sections shall be reconciled. A committee was appointed for practically cairying out peace principles. The editors of the New York newspapers have called a meeting of all the editors to express their opinion upon the rightful limitation of the liberty of the press to discuss the conduct of the Government in war times. Governor Seymour has ordered the trial of the New York police commissioners for arbitrary arrests and other causes. General Lee has evacuated Fredericksburg, and abandoned the line of the Rappahannock. It is not known where he is gone. General Hooker has crossed the river and occupied Fredericksburg, Advices from Vicksburg state that General Grant has planted heavy siege guns close up to the enemy's works. There has been a large meeting in New York in favour of peace between North and South. THE mm. LITERATURE. THE HORSES OF THE SAHARA AND THE MANNERS OF THE DESERT. By E. DAUMAS. With COMMENTARIES by the EMIR ABD- EL- KAIJER. Translated by JAMES HUTTON. —[ London : Allen and Co.]— This volume is an English version of a work fa- mous in Paris for its very admirable description of that particular race of horses, the horses of the Sahara. Although some few amongst the chapters have been omitted, yet others descriptive of pastoral pursuits, the adventurous exploits and chase struggles, are fully translated, and are likely to prove interesting to all readers. The odd conceits and Asiatic expressions of the Emir Abd- el- Kader are highly characteristic and amusing. Very significant is the Arab's love for his horse, and his expressions in praise of the animal are metapiioric and hyperbolic in the ex- treme. Witness his oratory :—" Say not it is my horse; say it is my son. He outstrips the Hash in the pan or a glance of the eye. He is pure as gold. His eyesight is so good that he can dis- tinguish a hair in the night- time. In the day of battle he delights in the whistling of the balls. He overtakes the gazelle. He says to the eagle, ' Come down, or I will ascend to thee.' When he hears the voices of the maidens, he neighs for joy. When he gallops, he plucks out the tear from the eye. It is a thorough bred, the very head of horses. He has no brother; it is a swallow." Here is a new style of eloquence ready for the consideration of Mr Tattersall, though we should imagine the aristocratic fre- quenters of his world- famous establishment would be not a little amazed at such an importation of Eastern fervour. This book is very nicely got up, well printed, and in clear type, and is as highly entertaining as a work on travels in the Arabian territories BAILY'S MAGAZINE. [ Baily and Co, Cornhill.]— The June number of Baily fully maintains the prestige it has acquired for its " portrait gallery," the last issue being embellished with a capital likeness of Lord Fitzhardinge, so much better known at one time as Captain Berkeley. As a matter of course some space is devoted to " the Quorn and the recent sales of blood stock, while a paper entitled " Game and Gamekeepers" will be read with interest. Rowing and cricketing come in for due notice and " Our Van'' and " Art and Dramatic Gossip" are, as usual, amusing. SPORTING REVIEW FOR JUNE. [ Rogerson and Tuxford, Strand], —" The Omnibus" this month takes an extensive circuit, and else- where we give an extract from the concluding portion thereof— a notice of the late George Caldwell— which will be read with interest. The articles this month are varied, comprising as they do a continuation of " Bachelors' Hall," " An American Shoot- ing Box,'' " Sports for June,'' " The Rambler in Ireland," " Rook Shooting at Craig Hall," and other articles, among which not the least amusing is " Never Won till it's Lost." The engrav- ings, however, are not up to the mark, and " A Royal Procession'' is scarcely a " taking'' subject for a sporting magazine of much calibre. CHARLIE THORNHILL ; OR, THE DUNCE OF THE FAMILY. Chap- man and Hall.] Three Vols.— This work is reprinted from Baily's Magazine, and therefore already familiar to many of our readers, although somewhat oddly no allusion whatever is made as to its being a reproduction. Tiiat it possesses some literary merit is assured from the fact of its finding publishers in its three volume form in Chapman and Hall, and in the course of the story some entertaining phases of sporting life and manners are developed. Cocic FIGHTING BY A MARQUIS ON A SUNDAY.— In a quiet village in the northern part of Leicestershire, a few Sundays ago, considerable sensation was caused by a rumour that the demesne of a certain noble marquis was for some hours the arena for the barbarous sport of cocktighting. It appears that information of the occurrence having reached the secretary of the Royal 8ociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, that gentleman de- spatched two of the detective officers of the society to the locality. The result of these investigations has led to tlie'laying of an in- formation against the noble marquis in question, and several other gentlemen of position in the county. The cases are fixed for hearing at Loughborough on the 24th instant. Consumption, and all nervous, liver, and stomach complaints in every stage, are only aggravated and accelerated by drugs of every description, but perfectly curable by Du Barry's health- restoring Revalenta Arabica Food, as proved by thou- sands of cases which had been considered hopeless. We quote a few.— Cure, No. 62,914. Liege, 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. Lange, Commissaire de Police.— Cure, No. 46,270.

JACK HEENAN AND TOM KING — There was, as usual, a most influential muster of the right sort on Thursday, June 18, at Mr W. Richardson's, the Blue Anchor, Church- street, Betiinal Green, to witness the posting of another £ 50 a side for this exciting event, which, although on the surface apparently regarded with- out interest, is in reality occupying fully as much of the public attention as did the match between Tom Bayers and Heenan. The reason for the apparent apathy on the subject is that the eventful day is so far off that speculators are deterred by fear of accident on either side from investing their money, especially as there are so many other events at present in the sporting world demanding all their energies. The speculators, however, although not invest- ing their money, have evidently got their eyes open, and watch every move on the board. Those who follow " the ring as a sport, from sheer love of the art, however, are by no means so quiet on the subject as the sporting fraternity, and the eagerness with which they follow the doings of the men, and the anxiety they express to " learn whether the deposits are duly made, show how the event has fixed itself in their minds, and we have not the slightest doubt that on the all eventful day we shall have to record such a muster of the really upper crust supporters of the P. R. as has never yet been seen at the ring side. Never was the love of the art more prevalent among the gentle- men of England than it, is now, and never was there a better chance for good men to make themselves names and fames than at present. It rests entirely with themselves, and if this great mill, and those of almost equal interest which precede it, viz, between Dillon and Travers for £ 400, Goss and Mace for £ 1,000, and Goss and RyaU for the Championship, are carried out in the true spirit with which matches should be made, we think we may yet hold out a hope that the palmy days of the Ring, so often wished for but so constantly missed by some misconduct or other, are yet in store for us, and may flourish for many years. Having made these few remarks by the way, we have now only to state that the £ 50 a side was duly tabled at the appointed hour, the usual toasts appropriately rendered, and the remainder of the evening devoted to harmony. The next deposit of £ 50 a side is to be made good on Thursday evening, July 2, at Alec Keene's, the Three Tuns, Moor- street, 8even dials, when there will, no doubt, be a strong muster of the Fancy present. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. MR EDITOR: According to announcement in your last of my wish to meet Mace on Thursday. J une 18, between twelve and four, I came all the way from Birmingham expressly, and, at great inconvenience, have been detained in London two days. I am surprised that Mace did not attend, and am really astonished that he did not even send or write. Does he really want a match for the Championship ? At any rate he treats the matter in any- thing but a business- like manner. I could, if I so chose, claim forfeit for the money down, but I do not wish to do so. I want to fight Mace for the Champion's Belt and £ 400, so shall, there- fore, not only leave the money already down in 3Tour hands, but also another £ 10, making £ 15 of mine, and expect Mace at once to sign articles for the match to come off on the conditions and at the time we agreed upon. If these be refused, I claim the money down, and expect to hear no more of Mace's pretensions for the Championship.— Yours, & c, Friday, June 19. W. RYALL. [ We have received the £ 10 above mentioned.] After the above was in print, Mace's representative called, and will meet Ryall or his friend at Mr Wilson's, Spotted Dog, Strand, on Thursday, June 24. JACK HARTLEY AND YOUNG NAPPER.— On Wednesday, June 17, these men, who were matched at catch weight, met on the home circuit to contend for £ 10 a side. Napper is quite a fresh candidate for milling fame, and is a protege of the well- known George Crockett, and from the manner in which he acquitted himself is no doubt a lad of considerable promise. Hartley is well known to the patrons of the ring as a game, clever little boxer, but of late has been on the shad} 7 side of fortune, from the fact of his being glad to become the trial horse of the youthful Napper for the above small stake. Napper is a well made fine young fellow, not more than eighteen, so that he had the advan- tage of being several years the junior of his opponent, and was likewise a much bigger made man. When the ring had been get in readiness by the commissary, the lads lost no time, Hartley havingfor his seconds Bos Tyler and Wormald, while George Crockett and Mickey Gannon did the requisite for Napper. The lads commenced the contest at ten minutes to two o'clock, and when they stood opposed to each other at the scratch it was seen that Napper had all the advantage in height and reach. In the first round Napper administered a fine left- hander on the nszzle, producing a copious supply of the ruby, so that this de- cided first blood in his favour. As Hartley made a slight varia- tion of position to get away from his man, ' Napper followed, and with a stinging riglit- hander on the jaw knocked his man com- pletely off his pins. When Hartley was taken to his corner he seemed to be in a bad way, and needed all the skill and attention of his seconds ; indeed many were of opinion that he had received bis quietus. From the great care taken of him by his seconds, and the " time gained" in the confusion. Hartley was enabled at length to come staggering up to renew the contest. As the battle progressed, there was in many of the bouts much admirable fighting, the advantage, however, being decidedly in favour of Hartley, who, when he had recovered from the effects of the punishment administered at the opening, got ' on his man in such an effective and telling style that his friends offered the odds of 2 to I. There were in the whole thirty- one gallant rounds fought in sixty- one minutes, when Napper again in the last of these bouts delivered another terrific stinger on the jaw with the right, which immediately sent Hartley to grass, knocking him completely off his pins. Tyler, noswithstanding all bis care, was unable to again bring his man up, therefore Napper was hailed the gallant winner. The money will be given up to the winner at Mr Glancy's, Jacob's Well, Barbican, on Thursday, June 25. O'DONNELL AND COOKEY.— These Birmingham men were to have fought at catch weight on Monday, June 15, for £ 10, but O'Donnell forfeited at the last staking.

PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW- GOULDING'S NOVICE AND GRAY.— On Saturday, June 13, these pedestrians met on C. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, to run a mile, for £- 5 a side, the meeting being well attended. The odds were 6 to 4 on Gray. J. Pudney of Mile End was chosen referee, and all being in readiness the pedestrians came to the mark, both looking all that could be desired in condition. On starting the competitors went off at a rattling pace, and kept so well together that they were never more than three feet apart until they had arrived within 100 yards of the goal. Gray, who had the most " steel" left in him, now put on a fine spurt, went well away from his man, and finished the winner of a good race by 10 yards. OWEN AND WHITPAN.— These pedestrians likewise contended in a spin of 160 yards, for £ 5 a side, Whitpan receiving two yards. On dashing off the advantage of the lead was held by Whitpan until the competitors had nearly reached the goal, when Owen, who had been gradually closing on his man, came to the front, and landed the winner of a fine struggle by two yards. BLANDFORD AND WOODHALL.— Iri this match the pedestrians had to walk two miles, for £ 5 a side, Blandford being allowed 50 yards. The odds were 2 to 1 on Blandford, but there was little or no money speculated. On starting the pedestrians went away at a clipping pace, the lead being maintained by Blandford, until one mile and a quarter of the distance had been accomplished. Woodhall, who had been gaining on his opponent from the com- mencement of the struggle, now finally closed up the gap be- tween them, and, amidst the cheers of his friends, came well to the fore. From the moment Blandford had been compelled to resign the lead the interest of the match entirely subsided, for Woodhall had such a tine turn of speed that he left his man more aad more ia fee rear jSQtfeat the result was " npytr for a moment in doubt. Both men throughout walked with scrupulous fair ness, giving a fine exposition of the true principle of '' fair heel and toe.''— After the above event a Novice undertook for a small bet to run an impromptu match against time, having to accom, p. ish four miles in 30 minutes. He ran throughout in good style and completed the distance in 23 minutes, thus having two mi- nutes to spare on the termination of the match. THOMAS OF THE CITY AND SIMPSON OF NEWCASTLE.— On Monday, June 15, these pedestrians met here to walk seven miles for £ 25 a side, Simpson being allowed half a minute. The meet- ing was well attended, and in adjusting the preparatory matters Jaques, the pedestrian, was chosen referee. The betting was in favour of Thomas, but there was not much money speculated, as the friends of Simpson did not evince any disposition to back their man. Simpson, who went away at a slashing pace to make the most of the time allowed, covered something like 130 yards in the half mimite. Thomas, on receiving the signal to go, put on the high- pressure movement in a most unmistakeable manner, and from the style in which he diminished the gap between him- self and opponent, gave proof that he was much his superior in speed. So speedily did Thomas gain on his opponent, that in the eighth lap— this being the commencement of the third mile— he came to the fore, walking with fair and indisputable action, while 8impson, on the contrary, was pacing along in a manner that was most objectionable, as, from the style in which the provincial " muxed it," his action more resembled a trot than fair walking. When the pedestrians had entered the eleventh lap— this being while they were performing the fourth mile the referee disquali- fied Simpson for " unfair practice," therefore Thomas had now nothing more to do but to walk on by himself, as his opponent had, on hearing the decision of the referee, pulled up and left the course. Thomas, after walking some distance further by himself, was stopped by the friends of Simpson, who stated that'there was no necessity for him to go on, as their man had fairly lost. CITY GROUNDS, QUARRY GAP, BRADFORD. SHOOTING.— CROSLEY AND CLUDERA.— Mr Hardy has received 10s each for these men to shoot dc- ubie rises at sparrows, for £ 10 a side, on July 4. WELLS AND FARNLEY.— These new favourites shoot, for £ 5 a side, on July 11, 7 pigeons each.

EAST HANTS GROUND, SOUTHSEA.— RYAN AND COLWELL — These men were matched to run on Fridav, May 1, 26 miles, for £ 5 a side, but H. M. 8. Geyser, to which both men belong being ordered to sea, the race was postponed until Friday, June 12 at eleven o'clock. The conditions were that P. Ryan should start at eleven o'clock, and W. Colwell at twelve, that one might not know what the other was doing, and to tnsure both going the 26 miles. The blue jackets and marines mustered in force to witness the race. At the hour appointed Pat Rvan commenced his journey. The course was five laps to the mile", and to complete the distance 130 laps had to be traversed. A shipmate on each side was appointed timekeeper and referee, and by the time Colwell started Paddy had completed eight miles and three laps in the first hour, by twelve o'clock. Colwell, at the end of the first hour, had only completed six miles two laps and three quarters. Paddy performed the same feat in China not long since, and although the marine was much the younger, Ryan was much fancied by his shipmates. After running 10 miles and one lap the marine had had enough of it, and left Ryan to finish as he liked, but to decide some bets be kept on at a good pace, the last six miles being done in a pouring rain, and completed the whole distance in 4h 14min. The gronnd was very heavy. A foot race came off at Glenview, Burnley, © n Saturday, June 13, between R. Conway and J. Tomlinson, for £ 5 aside, distance two miles. Between 600 and 700 spectators were present. Tom- linson won by thirty yards. HATLEY'S BENEFIT.— At Hackney Wick on Monday, June 22' if ever a demonstration of kindness and respect wasdeserved. it should be shown on that day, on the occasion of the benefit to be got up by the friends of W. Hatley. Of irreproachable character, he is not only looked upon with affectionate regard by his friends, but with the public also he has gained their confidence by his straightforward conduct. As a pedestrian fee bids fair to reach the highest fame as one of the best, fastest, and fairest of " tall walkers," as his matches fully proves. In the pride of vouth and coming fame he has been stricken down by a severe illness, in- capacitating him from following either his profession or his busi- ness. To all who know Hatley, no appeal on his behalf is needed; to the public generally we can truly say that he is well worthy of support. The famed grounds of Hackney Wick will be thrown open, and, as will be seen, his professional " brethren, the first of runners and walkers, will muster strongly. The usual sports will take place, but for the information of the public we give the two principal handicaps. At three o'clock will commence the Three Mile Walking Handicap, for a silver cup, to start in heats in con- sequence of so numerous an entry. First heat: Spooner scratch, Jacobs 3j minutes start, Coleman 3i, Berrill 4, Collins 4, Stam- mers 4, Sale 4, Wren4f, Spotted Dog Pet 4|.— Second heat, half- Dast three: Miles scratch, Ackbourne 3f, Davis 3£, Phelan 3j, Barnett 3j, Lane 3j, Haverstock novice 3f, Hurley 3f, Cutts novice 3g.— Third heat, at four: Myers 1, Thomas 1. Allen Benson 3|, Jacko 3J, Markham 3|, Lowrie 3j. Purvis 3j.— Fourth heat, half- past four: Kemp= ter2, Ware2, Wild Clark of Shore- ditch 2j, Clarke of Shoe- lane Byford 3, Simmons 3, Ruggles 3, Dunn 3. The winners to walk off the final heat at seven o'clock. At five o'clock the Half Mile Handicap, for a silver cup— First heat: J. White of Gateshead scratch, Crudgington 65, Howditt 80, Hall 90, Brown 100, Corkey 110, Duggan 130, Watkins 140, Vinegar 140.— Second heat: Barker 55, Young 100, Brown 160, Cooper 100, Clavton 100, Reinscroft 100, Carr 106, Jones 110, W. Cole 130, Jerry 130.— Third heat: Richards 40, Brunell 60, Davis 80, Simpsons 90, Bolton 106, Thompson 120, Jonah 110, Howes 130. The winners will run off after the final heat of the walking handicap. It will thus be seen that a day's sport worthy of the cause takes place. All who cannot be present can assist in the good work, take tickets, send their friends, or their " mite" to Messrs Baum or Price. We sincerely hope that " little Billy Hatley" may soon be restored to health," and to aid in that restora- tion may he have a bumper at Hackney Wick on Mondav, June 22. MILE HANDICAP, & C.— On Monday, June 15, the M" ile Handi- cap that took place on J. Baum's enclosed ground, Hackney Wick, was won by Jones, who defeated six other competitors.

MONDAY, JUNE 15.— Most of the afternoon was occupied in squaring up accounts., and the betting that subsequently took place was neither brisk nor important. Caller Ou was the best favourite for the Northumberland Plate, but the investments on her at the offered price— 100 to 12— were not numerous. Brighton was " nibbled'' at at 10 to 1, while the some time favourite, Mari- gold, was scarcely mentioned. Of the others quoted below, any- thing like active operations were confined to Polynesia, who ad- vanced from 20 to 1 to 12 to 1— taken just at the close. The only horse backed for the Goodwood Stakes was Knutsford, who was finally invested on at 100 to 8. For the St Leger, 850 to 200 was once laid against The Banger, but 4 to 1 was afterwards taken to a smaller amount. Lord Clifden remained at 7 to 1— these odds being booked once or twice only, as two points more were about Queen Bertha. 7 to 1 was taken about Lord Stamford's lot. The Derby was introduced by an offer of " 8 to 1 on the field," but in the next instant nine " monkeys" were proffered against Scottish Chief. No one accepted 100 to 6 about Blair Athol, and after 20 to 1 had been laid against Ackworth, layers reduced their " bids'' to 18 to 1. The Doctor was also " put up" at 25 to 1, and although that price was finally extended to 33 to 1, it did not elicit a response. Birch Broom was backed at 50 to 1 for a " century," but those odds were afterwards freely offered, both against him and Prince Arthur. THURSDAY, JUNE 18— No attendance. NORTHUMBERLAND PLATE. MONDAY.

Fitz- Avon was struck out of all his engagements at Abingdon and Hungerford as soon as the weights appeared. Lyndhurst Races are unavoidably postponed. Due notice will be given of the future fixture. Sea Nymph ( left in by mistake) was scratched for the Good- wood Stakes at Stockbridge, at three p. m., June 18. An article by " Iconoclast" reached us too late for insertion this week. It shall appear in our next. Canterbury Races are appointed for Tuesday, the 18th of August. NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.— The match between Birch Broom and Kromeski is off by consent. Aldershott Divisional Races are advertised for Friday, the 24th of Julj'. Optimist, who was sold on Monday last at Tattersall's, for 200gs, goes into Young King's stable. Neck or Nothing, 2 yrs, has also joined his string. Mr Jackson has sold Haddington for 2,000gs, to go to China. Negotiations have been entered into for the purchase of other well- known horses for the same destination. His Excellency was struck out of the Worcestershire Stakes on Friday, the 19th inst, at 12: 30 p. m., and Wortham out of the Bentinck Testimonial Plate the same hour, on the same day. HUNGEHFORD AND ABINGDON RACES.— Several stakes close at these meetings on Tuesday next. Mr Verrall will be at Chelms- ford to receive nominations on that day. Marigold has again " changed hands,'' Mr Pad wick having dis- posed of her this week, and she was struck out of the Northum- berland Plate on Wednesday, the 17th inst, at three p. m. The sale of Mr Popham's yearlings, advertised to take place at Stockbridge on the 18th inst, has been postponed. Mr John Osborne has sold Sweetcake, by Sweetmeat out of Mrs Birch, 4yrs; and Huby, by The Flying Dutchman out of Switch, 4 yrs, to go to India. They left Ashgill on Wednesday morning last for their destination. Although it is quite true that the misunderstanding between Count Batthyany and Wells has to a certain extent been adjusted, Wells is not likely— at all events at present— to sport the count's colours again. We are requested to state that " the firm" styling themselves " Davis and Mather, members of Tattersall's/' and who issue cir- culars from Godliman- street, Doctors'- commans, City, are not members of TattersaU's, or in any way known to or connected with Mr George Mather or his nephew, MrR. Mather. The Dean's Hill yearlings, seven in all, will be sold at Worcester on the Friday in the race week. They are all by Mountain Deer, and the last of his stock coming on in this country. This is Mr Painter's third sale of the series, but he has never previously had so promising a lot. Charles Hunt and Son have just brought out their print of Tim " Whiffter, with Bullock on his back, and in Mr Jackson's colours. The engraving comes a day after the fair, now that the game little Cup liorse has lost his laurels, but it is creditably got up by Moore, M'Queen, and Co, of Berners- street. CHELMSFORD RACES.— An additional race is advertised for this meeting on the second day, namely, a Selling Handicap of 5 sovs each, with 50 added; the winner to be sold for 50* 1 sovs; half a mile; to name on the first day of the races. The course is in ex- cellent order, the new Stand quite complete, and, with a long array of local stewards and promise of support, there is eveiy prospect of a successful meeting. STOCKTON RACES.— TO meet the wishes of several of the patrons and supporters of this meeting, it is intended to add to the pro- gramme for the ensuing races a Hunters" Stakes, with a handsome bonus. Although the period when these races are held is not the most favourable for a stake of this kind, yet, as it will be open to bona fide hunters of England, Ireland, Scotland, or Wales, we have no doubt it will be well supported, and forjn an attractive feature in the programme. The conditions will shortly appear in our columns. At the monthly council meeting of the Royal Agricultural So- ciety, on Wednesday, Professor Varnell was appointed veterinary inspector of horses for the Worcester Meeting, in the place of Pro- fessor Spooner, who has hitherto held the appointment. This change was adopted on the motion of Lord Portman, while there is no secret that it was recommended in consequence of a very un- pleasant altercation which took place at the great Battersea Meet- ing between Mr Spooner and one of the gentlemen who acted as stewards of the show. Lord Portman was the then president of the society, so that the matter had come officially before his lord- ship previous to bis again mooting it. THE LATE GEORGE CALDWELL.— George Caldwell—" George the Fifth,'' as some of his friends used to call him— has gone from the ranks of the Turf writers. They have been sorely thinned since little more than seven years ago old Joe Rayner wove his last yarn about Beeswing and " a slice of old Alice,'' and, grasping his stick, tottered round to say that the days of " Mug- gins's Dog" were numbered, and to bid us all good by. Ruff, John Ruff, Feist, " Craven," John Massey, " Harry Hieover," Wanless, and Albert Feist have all silently followed him, as it were, year by year, and the next lot fell upon " Childers." The " white blossoms," about which he so often joked, had not clus- tered round his forehead in the service of Captain Pen, and, in fact, it was only within the last eight years— first by doing occa- sional papers for the Life and the Field, and then as a regular contributor to the former— that he might be said to join us. The home of his family was at Narborough Hall, which has since passed into the Duke of Wellington's hands. It was near the classic plains of S waffham, but the county feeling for coursing did not course in his veins. Horse and hound were all his desire, and formed the study of his life. Speak of what quadruped or biped you might in the sporting world, and he generally knew some- thing about the pedigree and antecedents, and told it with good point. He had been a Brazenose man originally, about 1827- 29; but although he knew it well, he was not in the habit of taking out his Latin to air, but fell back for paper seasoning on the old hunting songs, the " marrow" of which are never made now. Many of his M. F. H. friendships dated from the Oxford cloisters; and to judge from his after- writings, no one saw more of, or en- joyed more keenly, the steeple chasing, racing, and fox hunting of the next ten years. They were to him a spring of anecdote and illustration, which never seemed to run dry,— From the Omnibus. MARRIED.— F. Page, Town Hall Tavern, Banbury, to Maria, second daughter of Mr John Blencowe, of the same place. It is an unquestionable fact that Hampshire ought be a racing count}-, and thus it is surprising the twenty- three contests de- cided at Stockbridge were in some instances productive of such bad fields, which we can only attribute to the handicaps net giving general satisfaction, it being a noteworthy circumstance that the Danebury stable only missed one it was represented in during Wednesday and Thursday, while what was intended for a feature, the Beaufort Handicap, was reduced to a match between Danebury and Woodyeates. Fortunately, neither the Bibury Club nor the " open" Stockbridge Meeting depends for its success on handicaps, which items were more popular at Odiham, where capital sport was witnessed on Tuesday last, although the quality of the performers was too moderate for the results to assume any importance. At first sight the form displayed by Cranbury looked more than respectable, as he won the Hurstbourne Stakes, and afterwards ran second for the Dogmersfield Park Handicap when giving 241b to the winner ; however, the defeat at Stockbridge of Mr Payne's Olitipa filly, that was second to him in the first instance, will prove him to be of only the same class as Nathalie, and thus the utter defeat of Starbeam shows her to have completely lost what little form she may have possessed in the Spring. A dead heat for the Manor Plate, and the indifferent figure cut by the two favourites, Indolence and Gibraltar, in the Odiham Handicap, comprise the only other incidents worth referring to. The racing at Stockbridge requires more than a passing notice, as plenty was done to influence the Derby, 1864, and other events forthcoming, some excellent- looking two year olds putting in an appearance on the Bibury Club day. The proceedings opened auspiciously, as there was a magnificent finish for the Handicap Plate between Tippler and Tornado, the result confirming their Ascot running in the Trial to the letter, as therein about a length and a half separated them at 51b difference in weight, while here there was only a head between them at lib. The Champagne was productive of some heavy wagering, and the Daneburyites, having drawn first blood with the Tippler, plunged it down without consideration on their selected cham- pion, Master Richard, who had got within a length of Scottish Chief at Ascot; but they reckoned without their host, as Lord Portsmouth brought out something superior in Hengist, a racing- like brother to King of Kent, who certainly galloped the best, and compelled the talent to " turn round " at the finish and make him favourite— conduct the race justified, as he won easily, although it might have been a near thing had Master Richard displayed an equal amount of pluck. Hengist is not in the Derby, and the result did not say much for the lot behind Scottish Chief at Ascot, as Practitioner finished pretty close to Master Richard with a 41b penalty, and his form had hitherto been very moderate. In the Handicap for two and three year olds, the Voltigeur blood in Nathalie gave the fielders a good turn, as she ran the longest and beat the fayourite rather cleverly at last, Brother to Rubini " coming " rather too late, or he might have got his head first had his jockey set to work earlier. In the Selling Sweepstakes Mr Wombwell displayed capital form as a gentleman jockey, and the Danebury stable'must have made a sad mistake concerning Tippler when they let him start at 100 to 15 with such an artist in the saddle for the Bibury Stakes, as the field was a poor one, the only other good class horse being General Hess, who, besides being a little out of his distance, was giving more than enough weight for the three years between them. The gentlemen and talent seemed to look upon the issue as a match between Rubicon and the turned- loose Croydon, but the latter ran a perfect wretch, while Tippler won cleverly enough from Rubicon to prove that he can stay as well as gallop. The five furlongs being more to Confidence's liking than the six at Ascot, he pulled the gentlemen through for the £ 50 Plate, although Reindeer ran so well up to the Stand as to drive the fielders into ecstacies, but shut up when the pinch came, as at Ascot, or Confidence would never have recovered from the disap- pointment he met with in the race. The Fifth Biennial brought together a field that would have startled a ghost of one of the old Club days. Seventeen went to the post, including The Doctor, Leicester, Becky Sharpe, and King George, who had earned good reputations in public, besides Ackworth and Cceur de Lion, the latter of whom ran well up in such company as Light and Tomato at Ascot. Ackworth was said to have improved so much since his double defeat at Epsom Spring as to be made second or third favourite for the Derby. In the absence of Cambuscan, Beloocliee, Ely, & c, the " dark'' division was but poorly represented; and The Doctor failing to run up to his Chester form, while Ackworth ran even worse than at Epsom— the pair being, in fact, among the first beaten— we had to look for the first and second in two stable companions that could be no nearer winning at Ascot than fourth, Cceur de Lion occupying this position behind Light, Goldylocks, and Tomato for the Sixth Biennial, as did King George ( 51b extra) behind the Sister to Queen of the Vale ( 51b extra), Vacuna, and the Mary Copp colt for the New Stakes. Thus the result was quite unexpected, and j et it was not against public form, if we leave The Doctor ( who may see a better day) out of the question. The running was con- firmed, or nearly so, in the Mottisfont next day, when the Mary Copp colt was the same two lengths behind Vacuna as at Ascot, and Leicester ran a dead heat with the latter. On Thursday there was some fair sport, the majority of the eight three year olds contesting the Fourth Biennial being of above the average quality. Still Gladstone was decidedly the best on paper, and he is evidently incapable of getting a mile and a half, when a filly like Golden Dust can get home before him. The finish was well contested by Sea King, Golden Dust, and Blondin ; the first- named, who was behind Gladstone in the Biennial, won by Ranger at Newmarket Craven, helping to prove Gladstone cannot stay. He has, however, gradually improved all the season ; and for Blondin to run so well with him when giving 31b, it must take a good horse to beat the latter in the Goodwood Stokes with 6st 21b, and time ( not forgetting Mr Parr) will do so aiuch for him, that he may yet be heard of for the St Leger. The Stand Plate was an easier task for Confidence than his race on the Club day, as it was only a half- mile course, which made him beat Southport more easily than the latter's race with Rein- deer at Ascot would justify a superficial observer in believing The seven furlongs Stockbridge Cup was also just to the liking of old King of Diamonds, who came out fresh as ever, and, with all the best of the weights, won with the most ridiculous ease, one of his hocks telling us " the reason why'' he had not been out before this season. Mr Morris, who does not often get a turn, won the Beaufort Handicap and Selling Sweepstakes for Danebury ; and then Rubicon, with all the best of the weights, took the Andover Stakes for Lewes, Libellous, who can barely get an easy mile, finding the course much too severe for him, and showing what a poor chance he would have had with Adventurer had they run their match out on the Club day. Friday's doings supplied no- thing startling, the Stewards' Plate and Gentlemen's Derby merely turning out the foregone conclusions they were booked for Fairwater and Bally Edmond; but it is only fair to notice that the Danebury Nursery proved as great a success as the Beau- fort Handicap did a failure, the field being the second best of the meeting. The forthcoming week will be devoted to Newcastle, Chelms- ford, and Ipswich, the first- named meeting displaying the best programme, and that is not much to boast of, with but one feature in it, viz, the Northumberland Plate. There are only fifteen events in all to occupy the three days, and the best field on the first day will probably be that for the Members' Plate, nearly a mile, where Fobert's stable is pretty well off' with Dictator, 5 yrs, 9st 21b, Johnny Armstrong, 4 yrs, 8st 71b, and Lachesis, 4 yrs, 6st 131b, the old horse being sufficiently " well in" to be about winning on his Ascot running; Iiubini, 3 yrs, 5st 121b, and Erin go Bragh, 3 yrs, 6st 41b, comprising the most likely to effect his overthrow. The North Derby Stakes for three year olds, being over a mile and three quarters, may not suit Erin go Bragh so well, and Roman Bee possesses the greatest chance of upsetting Donny- brook, despite his 31b penalty, for he is of first- class quality. However, we cannot believe in his ability to give all the weight to the 31b allowed Donnybrook, who did not disgrace himself at Paris. The Trial and 8elling Stakes have yet to close ; and we can only remark concerning the Tyro that J. Osborne will be handy with one of his trio. The same lot are entered for the Grand Stand Stakes on the second day, wherein Erin go Bragh is the best of the three year olds. The Northumberland Plate, two miles, obtained an acceptance of thirty- four out of fifty- two handicapped, and the subsequent " scratchings" do not include more than Cape Flyaway, Joco, Marigold, Michael Scott, and Clarior. Recent operations, how- ever, say little for the prospect of The Pilot seeing the starting post, and there are so many stables with two or three representa- tives each, that barely half the thirty left in will be found among the runners. Mr Saxon has three allies— The Monk, Stanton, and Double X, The Monk being the best of the lot on paper; and Watson has four— the Birthday filly, Daniel O'Connell, Alice, and Bohemian, of which the Irishman is con- sidered by many a second Joey Jones. Mr I'Anson may run both Caller Ou and Borealis, Mr Hart, Adventurer, and Fobert's stable Trust; but whether Treen, who was successful here last year with Montebello, will start either Hartington or Chaff seems doubtful, and present appearances indicate that the re- mainder of the field will have to be made up from Carbineer, Brilliant, Doefoot, Brighton, Lothians' King, Polynesia, and Weatherwise. Double X is spoken of as being in reserve for something better ; and as Rubicon's defeat at Stockbridge says nothing for Stanton's chance of winning with 7st 101b in this company, the green and gold must depend upon The Monk for success. He has shown no pretensions to win of late ; but being turned loose now he has an opportunity of affording a proof whether he has any form left, for if he has he can scarcely fail to run home in the first three. We prefer I'Anson's couple to Wat- son's four, and Caller Ou is supported so freely that we must conclude she is the best, despite the Oaks trial, which made the young one within 201b of her. Giving Adventurer but lib far the year, the latter must be a superior class animal to beat her, which we cannot believe him capable of; but Carbineer's form was once so near that of Asteroid and Tim Whiffler that he must have gone off for the mare to hold him quite safe, and he has done so well at home of late, that we think him the most dan- gerous of the heavy weights in the race, as he only concedes 51b for the year to Adventurer, who betrayed symptoms at Ascot of his severe work this season having done him no good. Either Carbineer or Caller Ou ought to give Brilliant the weight and beat him ; and Caller Ouhad all the best of Doefoot in their running for the Tradesmen's Cup at Manchester, rendering it imperative that the latter must improve almost a stone since her last ap- pearance in public, to beat either of Mr I'Anson's animals. Brighton will like the course, and is sure to get home; still he is not favoured by the liandicapper, even if we look at his best performances, and besides The Monk there are Lo- thians' King and Polynesia, who strike us as much more worthy to represent the middle weights. Polynesia has been quiet all the season, after disappointing a great many in the last Cambridge- shire, for which race many considered lier better worth trusting than Bathilde, who was only giving her 51b for the year. They have been backing the mare for the last few days, and looking how she performed at Ascot and Doncaster la3t season there need be little doubt about her winning, supposing she can stay the course, which those who are putting such heavy metal on should know most about. Weatherwise never showed a capa- bility to compete with her at 61b, and as we have no three year old backed beyond Daniel O'Connell, we must suppose their friends are all afraid of T. Taylor's " pot." To sum up, we must look to Polynesia proving the best of those backed up to the present writing, and she may have Carbineer for one of her immediate attendants, it being a very near thing between the Aske favourite and Caller OIL The Licensed Victuallers' Handicap is almost a fac simile of the Members' Plate, as is also the Gold Cup, run for on Thursday, Gregory's and Watson's stables having the best of the fun in both of them from present appearances ; but the first day's doings will prove a better index to the probable winners than any calcula- tions that may be made now, and it would be utter madness to analyse the pretensions of the hundred handicapped for the Cor- poration Plate, pending the Northumberland Plate, the two other events completed being of no general importance. The improvements made since last year in the gene- ral arrangements of the Chelmsford Meeting, which takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday, have not extended to the pro- gramme, although the promoters used all their influence to bring about such a result, and the five events already completed are but poorly patronised. There are only six acceptances for the Chelms- ford Handicap, with its £ 100 added money, old Flash in the Pan being the best of them at the weights, as he concedes only 101b to the Mountain Maid filly for the many years there are between them. And a £ 200 bonus to the Essex Handicap, the feature of the second day, has only attracted fifteen entries, who are so moderate in quality, except in one or two instances, that Necklace may be somewhere near the mark, Certificate being another suited to such a contest. In the Great Baddow Two Year Old Stakes Confederate takes a good allowance, which ought to bring him home, seeing how close he finished to Birch Broom and Leicester at Ascet. But we should not be justified in touching upon the County Members' or Town Plates. The two days at Ipswich will do very well for holiday folk, and some of the talent may travel on from Chelmsford to assist, although the bill of fare promises but poor sport.

Alexander, and Mr 8. Nicholson. Clerk of the Course: Mr Trodd. Starter: Mr Marshall. Judge and Clerk of the Scales: Mr Clark. TUESDAY, JUNE 16.— Wet weather, as usual, inaugurated the Hampshire week at Odiham on Tuesday, a dull and heavy morn- ing resulting in a disagreeable day. The rain, it is true, did not fall with that unintermittent persistency that has gained for this other- wise pleasant and spirited little meeting quite an unenviable noto- riety, but heavy showers, at frequent intervals, caused throughout the day considerable discomfort and annoyance. To the unpromis- ing appearance of the weather may be attributed the slight diminu- tion in the attendance as compared with former anniversaries. The members of the Ring, however, mustered in some force, most of the principal bookmakers availing themselves of the liberal ar. rangements of the South Western Railway Company, by which they were enabled to take in Odiham on their way to Stockbridge. The prestige imparted to Odiham owing to the patronage and sup- port bestowed upon the meeting by the popular Earl of Ports- mouth was sufficient to ensure a large " carriage company," bu there was a smaller sprinkling than usual of the aristocrati0 habitues of the Turf. A large number of the rustic denizens of the surrounding villages participated in the amusement of the " country fair" held on the course, and, despite the damping in- fluence of the rain, evinced a lively interest in the different events of the day. Of the sport itself but little need be said be- yond the details given in full below. The first of the six events set down on the card for decision— the Hurstbourne Stakes- brought out a field of ju3t half those coloured on the card, and of the seven youngsters telegraphed, Cranbury was made the favour- ite at 7 to 4, while Starbeam was also in demand at 100 to 30. The latter was never in the race, and the favourite only succeeded in pulling off the good thing by a short head, after a most exciting finish with Mr Payne's Olipta filly. For the Stewards' Stakes, also for two year olds, the selected, Doe, easily cut down the three opposed to her, and subsequently was bought in for 135gs, thus realising 75gs for the fund. Ten were weighed out for the Manor Plate, and an additional item in the day's sport furnished by the result— a dead heat between the favourite, Pony, and the comparatively un- backed Hilly Grove. The pair ran locked together from the distance, and, after a splendid struggle, the judge de- cided that the battle should be fought " o'er again." In their final trial, for which Pony again had the call in the betting, both evidently had had enough, and in the straight they cannoned whilst running abreast, both swerving from sheer distress, appa- rently for the purpose of affording to each other a little mutual support. Pony eventually just managed to struggle home the winner by a head, whereupon the owner of Hilly Grove lodged an objection on the ground of foul riding, which, however, upon investigation, was not entertained. Another field of ten went to the post for the principal event of the day— the Odiham Han- dicap— in which the favourite, Indolence, never showed pro- minently, the race being easily won by Violet. The South Western Railway Plate was another good thing for the backers, the favourite, Cadiz, never leaving the race in doubt, and winning " in a walk." His owner was subsequently glad to take him home again at a cost of 65gs above the 30 for which he was entered to be sold. The day's sport was satisfactorily wound up with the Dogmersfield Park Stakes, for which eleven runners faced the flag, of which the favourite, Stainley, never showed prominently in the race, the issue being left to the Hurstbourne victor and Attraction, the latter winning with ease by two lengths. There was but little betting on future events, the only feature of interest being the advance of Polynesia for the Northumberland Plate, for which event she was backed rather freely at 100 to 15, Caller Ou, about whom 8 to 1 had been kindly taken early, receded a shade, although still in great force at 100 to 12. For the Leger The Ranger was very firm at 4 to 1, and 7 to 1 was taken to a few small amounts about Lord Clifden. The HUBSTBOURNE STAKES of 15 sovs each, 5 ft, with 50 added" for two year olds ; colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st 71b ; penalties and allowances; the second saved his stake; straight half mile • 17 subs.

Reeves 0 Betting: 7 to 4 agst Cranbury, 7 to 2 agst Starbeam, 5 to 1 agst Bold Houghton, and 100 to 15 each agst Attraction, and the Olitipa filly. Starbeam jumped off with the lead, but was almost immediately passed by Cranbury, followed bv Attraction and Starbeam. Before reaching the first road Attraction was beaten, and the Olitipa filly became second, while Starbeam gave way at the same time to Bold Houghton. A fine race home ensued, terminating in favour of Cranbury by a head, Mr Payne's filly beating Bold Houghton for second place by a length, Verbena finishing fourth, a head only from the latter. Attraction was fifth, De Grey sixth, and Starbeam last. The STEWARDS' STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for two year olds; colts 8st 101b, fillies Sat 71b; maidens allowed 51b; the winner to be sold for 50 sovs, & c; straight half mile; 5 subs.

Reeves 4 Betting: 6 to 4 agst The Doe, 3 to 1 each agst Jane and Sen- sation, and 4 to 1 agst Rosemary. Jane Shore made the running, fol- lowed by Rosemary, to the road, where Mr Saxon's filly fell back, and Rosemary went on with the lead, waited upon by The Doe to below the distance, where the favourite went to the front, fol- lowed by Sensation, and won easily by two lengths; a bad third. The winner was bought in for 125gs. The MANOR PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs, for all ages; winner8 extra; three quarters of a mile. Mr Y. King's br c Pony, by Vengeance, 3 yrs, 6st. .

Page 0 Betting: 4 to 1 each agst Pony and Inciiatus, 6 to 1 each agst Killarney and Royal Sovereign, 7 to 1 each agst Hilly Grove and Vindicta, and 10 to 1 agst Barmaid. After some delay, caused by the fractiousness of Barmaid and Hilly Grove, the flag fell to a good start, Hilly Grove being the first to sho > prominently in front, with Incitatus and Pony ( the latter on the off side) next, the last three being Royal Sovereign, Zeloo, and Blue Bell. Rounding the turn Pony slightly headed Hilly Grove, the latter, however, again showed in front before reaching the distance, Zeloo, who had run through her horses before entering the straight taking third place. A fine struggle between the two leaders resulted in a dead heat, Zeloo finishing third, half a length from the pair; Incitatus was fourth, Killarney fifth, the last two being Blue Bell and Royal Sovereign. DECIDING HEAT : Betting— 11 to 10 on Pony. They ran to- gether throughout, and both swerving from distress within the distance, cannoned, Pony eventually winning by a head. On re turning to scale the owner of Hilly Grove lodged an objection against Pony on the ground of foul riding. Lord Dorchester and Mr J. Nicholson, after hearing the evidence, eventually decided in favour of Pony. The ODIHAM HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, 2 ft, with 50 added; winners 7lb extra; the second saved his stake; one mile and a iialf; 30 subs. Mr T. Stevens's Violet, by Voltigeur, 4 yrs, 6st.. J.

Violet jumped off with the lead, followed by Gibraltar, The Prin- cipal, and Flash in the Pan, Vinegar Hill last. In this order they ran past the Stand, Violet taking a long lead on the far side, still followed by Gibraltar ; Flash in the Pan third, many lengths off, the others in straggling order, whipped in by Lord Ports- mouth's horse. Before rounding the bottom turn Vinegar Hill began to improve his position, and on entering the straight the leaders took closer order, and Vinegar Hill ran into fourth place. At the road Gibraltar was beaten, and Flash in the Pan went on in pursuit of Violet, who, however, was never approached through- out, and ran home an easy winner by three lengths; Fiash in the Pan finishing four lengths in advance of Vinegar Hill.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17.— In contrast to the previous day, when a drizzling rain fell during the greater part of theafternoon, thereby damping the sport at Odiham, the weather underwent a favourable change, and the ride from Andover to Stockbridge, through the ever pleasant and diversified scenery of Hampshire, was rendered truly delightful. After being elbowed and crowded at Epsom, half crushed at Ascot, and mobbed at the cockney gathering at Hampton, the change to the comparative quiet of Btoekbridge is indeed refreshing, and to no meetings is the term " enjoyable" so thoroughly applicable as those held on this pleasant course. Since last year a change for the better has taken place with regard to the affairs of the Club, for on the last anniversary Mr Weatherby had only one solitary member to keep him company at the club dinner at " The Star,'' at An- dover, whereas on Tuesday evening a company of ten mustered at the board, while five fresh members were announced as having joined the club, and the election of five more was reported on the morrow. Some very judicious alterations have been made since last year in the enclosure, and we would suggest to the worthy clerk of the course the necessity of affording a little more accom- modation to the press, as the present little " hot house" is quite insufficient. By enlarging it a few more feet the requirements would be met without encroaching on space set apart for other purposes. We would also suggest— and we do so at the special re- quest of several gentlemen who were present at the present meet- ing— that some radical reform be effected in the refreshment de- partment. After a journey from town and a hasty drive of some nine miles from Andover to Stockbridge, a sandwich, biscuit, or some light refreshment, with the accompaniment of a glass of sherry, is most certainly a desideratum; but neither sand- wicnes or biscuits were to be had, and the only chance of " getting anything" was to pay three and sixpence for a " lunch, v which few had either time or inclination to sit down to. Then, again, as to a glass of sherry, we heard of many who had tried the mixture sold under that name, and they unanimously expressed the same opinion uponit thatRobson as jemBaggs. in " TheWan- dering Minstrel," passes on " the doctor's composition,'' that it was " very nasty stuff." Surely some one could be found who would cater for the public here as Mr Careless does at Ascot, Goodwood, and elsewhere ; for why should the visitors to Stock- bridge have to put up with refreshments (?) that would not be tolerated at a country wake ? Fortunate, indeed, were those who had the entree to the " club booth," or a friend with a carriage and luncheon kamper on the course. The beauty of the weather drew together a goodly assembly of the neighbouring gentry, in addition to the usual habitues of the meeting, but much regret was expressed at the unavoidable absence of the Duke of Beaufort, one of the principal patrons of the meeting, who was kept away by the dangerous illness of his sister, Lady Henrietta Morant, whose death has since been announced. Of the seven items on the card, public interest chiefly, if not en- tirely, centred in " The Champagne Stakes" and " The Fifth Biennial,'' the former being prefaced by the Handicap Plate of a hundred, over the old mile, and for which Liston eventually gave way in the betting to Tippler, who opened the ball by placing the first win of the meeting to the account of John Day's stable, after a fine race with Tornado. The public were not treated to a sight of the much- talked of Cambuscan in the Champagne Stakes, for which a quartette were finally signalled to start, and Master Richard, on the strength of running second to Scottish Chief at Ascot, opened first favourite, with the odds of 6 to 4 on him. Presently, however, a reaction took place, for doubts were expressed as to Master Richard being able " to climb the hill." On theother hand, the appearanceof Lord Portsmouth's representative, the racing- like Hengist, was so universally approved of, that the odds shifted from 6 to 4 on to 6 to 4 agst Master Richard, and Hengist became quite as good a favourite. The supporters of the " Saxon" had no cause to repent the opinion formed of him before the race, for the scion of Ethelbert stalled off the quondam fa- vourite by an easy length. Previous to the race the latter had been invested on for the Derby at 50 to 1, 15,000 to 300 having been taken about him, and after his defeat 10 to 1 was offered against Scottish Chief for the same event. The Danebury stable was, however, in the ascendant again in the next race— the Handicap Sweepstakes, from the Bush in— for Nathalie, the " worst favourite" of the lot invested on— her previous perform- ances this season not having been very promising— defeated the selected Olitipa fillv by a neck, and after Drumstick had beaten Belgrave for the Selling Sweepstakes and been sold for a score over his entered selling price, Danebury was still destined to further success in the Bibury Stakes. For this race five put in an appear- ance, Princess Vocqsal being theonly animal piloted by a " profes- sional." On paper it looked a good thing for Rubicon, wliohad the advantage of Mr G. S. Thompson's jockeyship, but, as already inti- mated, Danebury was not yet done with for the day, for Tippler, receiving 121b only from the favourite, and ridden with consum- mate judgment by Mr Wombwell, came " a cracker" at the finish, and beat Rubicon by an easy length. In the 50 sovs Plate Confi- dence proved too fleet for Reindeer, but did not " change hands.'' This event decided, the " Stockbridge" Biennial Stakes was next brought to issue, being the last, though certainly not the least important, race of the day, involving as it did the in- terest of more than one Derby horse, to wit The Doctor and Ackworth. Prior to the race the former had been somewhat freely invested on for the Derby at 1,000 to 35, and, after being taken stock of, he was supported for the race about to be decided at 7 to 4— his party going for a stake on him— and, certainly, as far as looks were concerned, the confidence of his partisans were fully justified. Ackworth, who opened at 5 to 2, retrogressed to 4 and 5 to 1 at last, his appearance not inspiring the same degree of confidence as to his Derby form as did The Doctor, and the Danebury nag was voted by the " knowing ones" to be of " the Early Purl cut." Next to The Doctor and Ackworth, Leicester, who ran second to Birch Broom in the Maiden Plate at Ascot, was in esteem, and Becky Sharpe, who made a successful debut at the same meeting in the Triennial Stakes, had many admirers at 6 and 7 to 1. Apart from these 10 to 1 was currently offered. We may just note in passing that of the absentees coloured on the card, the most noticeable one was the highly- spoken of Ely, who has been slightly amiss lately, so that we must wait a little longer before testing the merits of this heavily- engaged scion of Kingston. The result of the race was a bitter disappointment to the friends of The Doctor, for he ran a thorough rogue, and fairly " curled up" at last, to the disgust of those who stood him, on account of his running at Chester. Ackworth never looked formidable, and Leicester, who did, was compelled to play third fiddle to Woolcot's pair— King George and Coeur de Lion— who ran a close race home, the Duke of St Albans' colt being beaten a head only by his stable companion, and but for a disappointment the latter met with the head might have been the other way. As it was Woolcot was pretty confident of winning with one of them, and the Duke of St Albans was in some way compensated for his disappoint- ment, having wisely stood the two. The winner made his first appearance at Salisbury, where he won the Wilton Park Stakes, beating Lady Williams, second, and Black Friar, third, and— penalised 51b for this performance— he was an unplaced fourth for the New Stakes at Ascot. George Fordham, we may add, rode Mr Ten Broeck's Idler to- day, his first mount since his late accident in the same colours, at the Ascot meeting. The much talked- of match between Adven- turer and Libellous was " off by consent," and although Mr Hodgman concurred in the request of the owner of Adventurer— who did not, it would appear, care to send the horse so far south in the face of his Newcastle engagement— he was prepared to do battle on behalf of Libellous had the other party, like Barkis in Da- vid Copperfield, " been willing.'' During the afternoon the Good- wood acceptances were " out," although they were not published in the Calendar until the following day, but no betting took place therpon. Polynesia was still in favour for the Northumberland Plate, 6 to 1 being the highest offer. Caller Ou was invested on at 8 to 1, and Brighton at 10 to 1. For the Leger 4 to 1 was offered on the field, double tjhat price was booked once or twice about Queen Bertha, and 30 to 1 about Blondin.

Liston was first off, but was quickly passed by Muezzin, who carried on the running, closely attended by the favourite and Tornado to the dip, where the leader gave way, leaving Tippler in advance. At the " Club" Stand Tornado made her effort, but unable to get quite up, was beaten by a head; three lengths between the second and third. Little Dick was fourth, Princess Vocqsal next, and Muezzin last. Run in lmin 57sec.

Practitioner led for about three hundred yards, when the running was taken up by Master Richard, followed by Izaak Walton, with Hengist on the off side. Before reaching the dip Izaac Walton showed in front, but compounded on rising the hill, and Hengist went on with the lead, followed by Master Richard, and won easily by a length, three lengths separating the second and third; Izaac Walton pulling up several lengths in the rear.

Souveraine made play, closely waited upon by Nathalie, the favourite next, on the whip hand. In the dip Souveraine fell back beaten, and the Olitipa filly took the lead, with Nathalie at her girths. From the distance the pair ran nearly head and head together, Nathalie winning a fine race by a neck ; Brother to Rubini was beaten half a length for second place; Vaulter was fourth, Coupon fifth, and Souveraine last.

Rubicon jumped off with the lead, but was immediately passed by Princess Vocqsal, Croydon going on second and Rubicon third, General Hess and Tippler next, side by side. Descending the hill Rubicon took second place, and at the half mile post Tippler improved his position. Entering the straight Princess Vocqsal dropped back, leaving Rubicon in command, followed by Tippler and General Hess. At the half distance the former challenged Mr Thellusson's horse, and depriving him of the lead opposite the Stand won easily by a length; a bad third; Croydon was fourth; Princess Vocqsal beaten off.

The favourite showed in advance for the first two hundred yards, when the running was taken up by Reindeer, fol- lowed by Confidence and the Habena filly. Rising the dip the latter dropped into the rear, and Confidence overhauling Reindeer in the last twenty yards won cleverly by half a length; two lengths between the second and third. Vision was fourth, and the Verbena filly last. The winner was not sold. Run in lmin lOsec.

After one " break away" the flag fell to a capital start, Aunt Judy, quick on her legs, getting off" slightly in advance of Becky Sharpe, Rappel lying in the centre, with Ackworth and Leicester on the whip hand ; the favourite next the rails ; Idler and Dovedale heading the others. Thus they ran into the bot- tom, where Aunt Judy gave way, and Rappel disappeared in the ruck, leaving Becky Sharpe in advance. At the half distance, however, the latter was headed by Leicester, who looked very formidable to the Stand, where King George and Coeur de Lion, who had been lying " handy" after rising the dip, came with a rush, and deprived Lord Stamford's colt of the lead, while The Doctor, who had run unkindly throughout, " cut it" resolutely, and " stopped to nothing." King George and Cceur de Lion ran a close race home, the former beating his stable companion by a head ; Lord Stamford's colt finished a length and a half behind Cceur de Lion, and about two lengths in advance of Becky Sharpe ; Ackworth was fifth ; Aunt Judy, Glendusk, and Tailor next; the Plush colt whipping in.

Marshall. The transformation of Stockbridge from a one day's meeting to two was this year a fresh phase in the " Hampshire week ;" the Winchester meeting, which was wont to be held on Friday, being thus driven to a different period altogether. The same lovely weather that befriended the " Bibury Club'' favoured the opening of the Stockbridge gathering, while the at- tendance exhibited an increase over the former day, and an ele- gant assemblage of ladies graced the spacious enclosure. Con sidering the " divided attraction,'' the interest attached to the sport was perhaps as great as might have been antici- pated, although the new item, the Beaufort Handicap, was a downright failure, seven out of forty subscribers only re- maining in the acceptance. As on the Club day, the racing commenced at two o'clock, the first item being the Biennial Stakes, for which Gladstone, as a matter of course, was rather a warm favourite; he, however, cut a very indifferent figure, and appeared completely " choked off" after rising the dip, and Sea King, whose only successful venture this year was beating Oscar at the Newmarket " First Spring," defeated Golden Dust by a length, the winner being ia the receipt of a 31b allowance. Blondin— who prior to the race had been backed for the Good- wood Stakes at 10 to 1— finished a length from the second, and was afterwards backed again for the event above named at the same figure as before. In the Stand Plate a " certainty" was dis- covered in the three year old Buck, who was put in at even weights with the two year old Nathalie, and he was accord- ingly made a warm favourite. Some mystification existed as to his training quarters, it being rumoured that he " hailed" from Yorkshire; such, however, is not the case, the colt is trained close by privately, and is the property of Mr Notley. What Buck might have done had he got off in front we cannot say; as it was he jumped round at starting like a performing pony, and Confidence, slipping his horses, came through and won easilj\ Of the lot pulled out to oppose the King of Diamonds, for the Stockbridge Cup, Vivid and Cerintha were deemed most formidable, and although the old King went like a lion on taking his " preliminary," the ticklish state of his hock from a thoroughpin prevented his advancing beyond evens, the field, if anything, having the call. The ground, however, was favourable, and, despite the fearfully enlarged ap- pearance of his hock, he literally " walked in." A rumour was afterwards prevalent that he would not run again, but be sent at once to the stud. We may, however, state that it is Baron Roth- schild's intention to run him for his other engagements should matters go no worse with him and his leg stand. The Beaufort Cup, as we have already stated, proved a complete failure, for with 200 sovs added half a dozen only were coloured, and of these Carisbrook was absent, and Canary, Wild Duck, and Blondin proved non- starters, so that it was reduced toa match with Balbam and Kingswood, the former, on whom 4 to I was laid, winning easily after making " a show of a race'' of it by half a length. The betting cn the succeeding Sweepstakes was of a rather variable description, and Curie, who eventually settled down first favourite, was beaten by Indolence, so that the " orange and white cap" was successful in two consecutive events, and the fund was benefited a " century" by the bought- in price of the winner. Although handicapped top weight, odds were laid on Libellous for the Andover Stakes— gentlemen riders— but he compounded under his 121b impost, and Rubicon, receiving 151b for the year, won as easily over the mile as his backers of the pre- ceding day anticipated he would have done over a mile and a half. Libellous, possibly, is not a welter weight carrier, but at all events his defeat to- day only confirmed the majority in their belief that Adventurer would have surely beaten him had " the match" come off. On the strength of her forward running at Ascot, Vacuna, being backed freely, was at last the best favourite for the Mottis- font Stakes, although at first Durham had the call. Vacuna's old luck, however, clung to her, for she ran a dead heat for second place with Leicester, and the hitherto darkDurham. whois trained by William Goater, pulled through right cleverly from his nine rivals. Of the other performers the Mary Copp colt, who had before the race been backed for the Derby at 10,000 to 100, finished fourth; Ackworth, though he showed more prominently for a time in the encounter, finished in about the same position as he did the day before in the Bien- nial Stakes; and Brother Jonathan " cut and run" in ano- ther direction soon after starting. The betting that took place on future events calls for no lengthened remarks, for, in point of fact, very little active speculation took place. The " prices cur rent'' will be found in the usual place. If the Hampshire week opened somewhat inauspiciously at Odiham, the aspect of affairs at its close on Friday morning was wretched in the extreme. Rain fell in torrents from an early hour, scarcely without cessation, until after the decision of the first race, when, to the agreeable surprise of all, the weather sud- denly cleared up, and a very fine afternoon ensued. Notwith- standing the unpromising appearance of the weather in the morning, the attendance was again considerable, many ladies adorning the Stand with their bright summer toilettes. The for- midable appearance of the card sufficiently proved the soundness of the policy of the management in extending the Stockbridge meeting to two days, there being no fewer than nine events for decision, including the walk over for the Westmore- land Plate. The Uxbridge Plate brought out six ot the sixteen coloured, the top weight, Confidence, on the strength of his successive wins on the Wednesday and Thursday, inspiring the talent with sufficient " confidence" in him to instal him first favourite, despite his top- weight impost. The start was vexatiously delayed by the vagaries of Mrs Trimmer, who, as at Salisbury, declined to approach her horses, and behaved generally like the thorough brute she is, being eventually left at the post. The favourite was beaten early in the race, which resulted in a fine struggle between the second favourite, Liston, and Indolence, the former only stalling off the latter by the shortest of short heads. Another half dozen— a favourite number throughout the meeting— contended for the Railway Selling Plate, the winner — Mr W. Day's c by Vedette out of Amelia— materially benefitting the fund, and migrating to Y. King's stable. Mr Payne's Bandage easily cut down the four opposed to him for the Visitors' Plate, the favourite Tippler never having the ghost of a chance. Sixteen youngsters weighed out for the Danebury Nursery, and Mr Powney's Lady Williams was made a very hot favourite, as little as 5 to 2 being freely taken about her. The result, however, was the greatest " surprise" of the meeting, for Aunt Judy, who an hour previously had run last throughout for ttw Railway Plate, and has therefore scarcely backed for a shilling at an extreme outside price, came out and won a magnificent race with the second favourite, Young Rapid, by a head, Lady Williams being beaten for second by three lengths.' The Stewards' Plate, like the Beaufort Handicap, was " shorn of its fair proportions," only two venturing to oppose Fair- water, who had no difficulty in landing the odds laid on her. Of the four starters for the Gentlemen's Derby, Mr G. S. Thompson, on Bally Edmond, made all his own running, beating Mr Bevill, on Knave of Trumps, who endeavoured to overhaul him half way up the distance, by a neck. The Portsmouth Plate, for which four only started, was w on by the favourite, the Ellen Percy colt, and Bouthport carried off the concluding event, and was bought in for 140gs.

F. Halsey, H. J. Toulmin, and J. Bishop, Esqs. Judge: C. E. Prime, Esq. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17.— A visit to Hatfield Park on a fine summer's day is a welcome treat, which several thousands availed themselves of on Wednesday. Amongst the pedes- trians, and in the carriages and other vehicles which lined either side of the course for some distance, a goodly array of beauty assembled to witness the sport, which took place by permis- sion of the Most Noble the Marquis of Salisbury, on the Bush- wood Plain portion of the park, which forms a very excellent course, the recent showers causing it to be fine going. To each of the four shakes a beautifully chased silver cup was added, purchased by a subscription got up by the officers of the South Herts Yeomanry, and supplied by Mr Marks, silversmith, a Hertford. The Cup added to the first stake was of the most value, ? fe the horses engaged being of the better class. The First Cup was won by Mr S. Bond's Precise, by Pontifex, carrying 13 stone, including 71b extra, for having won a similar prize at the Yeomanry meeting of 1862. Limus ( who was formerly the companion of Carractaus during his morning gallops) might have won the second heat had he been persevered with, but it was evident Messrs Bond were more desirous to win with Precise. The Second Cup was won by Odd Mixture by puregame- ness, Comedian in each heat running a good second. The Third Cup was cleverly won by The Old Friar, and the Fourth Cup proved an easy victory for Honesty, against nine opponents. A temporary Stand was erected for the use of the judge and stewards, who kindly apportioned one end of it for the use of the reporters. Lord Maiden, Messrs T. F. Halsey and H. J. Toulman, three of the stewards, were present, and took an active part in the proceed- ings, the ground being kept orderly by a portion of the Herts constabulary. The sport terminated in a very satisfactory manner. The FIRST CUP, given by the officers of the South Herts Yeomanry, added to a Sweepstakes of 5s each, for horses which have been ridden in the late drill at Hertford; heats, one mile and a half; 8 subs.

Lady Bird made play, with Cronstadt and Jackal well laid up to the dis- tance, where Jackal took the lead, and wen cleverly by a length ; second beating the third by a head. Recluse was a respectable fourth, and General Bixio fifth, close up. Nothing else near.

Passing the Stand, Confidence rushed to the front, but at the turn Wee Nell again took the lead, succeeded by Confidence, Dr Bowe, Hetman, Miss Taft, and Ripley in the order named. Wee Nell was beaten at the last turn, and Ripley went on with the running, followed by Hetman, Wee Nell, and Rarey. Ripley, swerving at the last hur- dle, let up Hetman, who, after a fine race home, won by a head; three lengths between the second and third; Wee Nell was a good fourth, and Miss Taft fifth. Endor Witch bolted. The EAST RIDING HANDICAP of 3 sovs each, with 25 added ; win- ners extra; the second saved his stake; one mile and a quarter; 14 subs. Mr T.

Pembroke broke down, and did not pass the post. Slingsby was afterwards destroyed. HULL, AND EAST YORKSHIRE. Stewards: Sir George Strickland, Bart; H. S. Thompson, F. Watt, and H. Padwick, Esqs. Clerk of the Course and Judge: Mr R. Johnson, of York. Hon Sec: Mr D. Boyes. Starter: Mr Or. Dawson. The programme for these races was much the same as last year, the only difference being that the Londesborough Pro- duce Stakes was allowed to die a natural death, and in its place was substituted the Hull Stakes, the committee fancy- ing that 100 sovs were too much to give for a produce stake. In this respect they have made a mistake, as the Produce Stakes generally produced a respectable field, and brought together some good two year olds. It was a great pity that the meeting this year should have clashed with Bibury and Stockbridge, but it could not possibly have been avoided, for it must take place in June or July, as we believe some difficulty exists about getting the course at an earlier period of the year. It is in contemplation to have a race on theflr6tday for half bred hunters only, and as this descrip- tion of race is so popular throughout Yorkshire, we have no doubt it will do very well, arid cause great interest amongst the farmers of the East Riding. The morning of the first day was highly favourable, and the special and ordinary trains brought an im- mense accession of visitors to the town. The running ground was never known to be in better order, the Grand Stand receipts being £ 30 over last year. The attendance was very large, the general company mustering very strong, and greatly exceeding former years. It will be seen by our return that the fields were small, but what was wanting in quantity was made up in qualify, for the ra es were all closely and severely contested. After the Bishop Burton Stakes were decided the weather took an unfavour- able turn, the remainder of the afternoon being showery. Proceed- ings opened with the Kingston Stakes, for which only five horses out of the nine subscribers went to the post. The Little Stag, a strong, compact horse, but rather small, was made the fa- vourite ; he looked the likeliest horse to climb the hill, and justified the hopes of his friends and won easily, although Angelus appeared rather backward, and may be heard of another day. The Londesborough Handicap was won by Jackal, who brought one guinea only to the fund. A much smaller field than of late years was brought out for the Bishop Burton Stakes, for which Prince Arthur, with his Newton honours thick upon him, was at once the selected favourite ; many a bold man laid the odds of 5 to 2, and in some instances 3 to 1 on him ; whilst his stable companion, Coast Guard, who looked very back- ward, was neglected, and we are credibly informed that he ran untried, and therefore very little was expected from him. It is another proof of the " glorious uncertainty of the Turf," lor although Prince Arthur carried the Ashgill money, yet Coast Guard defeated him, after a fine race, by a head. Up to this time the fielders had the worst of it, but the moment the winner's num- ber appeared on the telegraph board the cheering was immense. Mr I'Anson's mare was made the favourite for tne Beverley Cup, which she landed, after a splendid race with the first three from the distance, although it is possible that tlie result might have been different if Noble, who rode Venison, could have used his whip, for the three ran locked together; Venison being in the middle, whilst Flytrap was inside, and Borealis next the Stand. The Grimston Plate brought the afternoon's sport to aclose, which Honest John won, after a severe race, by half a length. Thursday was favourable, and the sport a little improvement upon the first day. The principal races were the Hull Stakes, Scurry, and Holderness Hunt. Tarlatan was most fancied for the Hull Stakes, but she was defeated cleverly by The Little Stag. Jackal opened the favourite for the Scurry, and he landed his backers; and the HoldernessHunt, which brought out a large field, ended in favour of Hetman, a rank outsider, who was scarcely backed for a guinea in the Ring. The day was favourable, and the attendance very large. The only thing we have to complain of is the wretched time kept by the committee between the races. Mr Dawson's starting was most satisfactory. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17.— The KINGSTON- UPON- HULL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 25 added, for all ages ; winners extra ; the second saved his stake; Kingston Course ( about three- quarters of a mile) ; 9 subs.

Pizarro tailed off a long way.

Found 5 Betting: 5 to 2 on Prince Arthur, 6 to 1 agst Eola, and 8 to 1 agst any other. After several attempts they got away on good terms, with the exception of Durando, who lost start. They ran nearly abreast to the distance, where Prince Arthur came out, fol- lowed closely by Coast Guard, who collared the favourite opposite the Stand, and after a magnificent race home defeated him by a head; four lengths between the second and third; bad fourth. Durando was tailed oil a long way. The BEVERLEY CUP of 100 sovs, in specie, added to a Handicap of 10 sovs each, h ft, and only 3 if declared; winners extra; the second saved his stake ; one mile and a half ; 21 subs, 8 of whom declared.

After thre^ or four attempts they got well off, Flytrap leading, followed by Cannon Ball, Prologue, the Hawise mare, and Venison. In passing the judge's chair Cannon Ball rushed to the front, but running out at the top turn, Flytrap was left with the lead. In the next few strides, however, Prologue took up the running, and putting on the steam was soon ten lengths ahead of her com- panions, her attendants being Flytrap, Venison, and Borealis, who followed in the order named. No change took place till after passing the T. Y. C. post, where the trio named began to get on better terms with the leader, whom they caught at the distance. In the next few strides she died away, and Flytrap, Venison, and Borealis ran a fine race home, the favourite winning by a head, Venison beating Flytrap by a very short head ; Prologue was beaten four lengths; Cannon Ball was a bad fifth. The other two were tailed off, and did not pass the post.

Shuffler jumped off in front, with Tarlatan and The Little Stag well laid up. They ran thus to the half mile post, where the favourite toek up the running, with The Little Stag in attendance. The latter caught the favourite opposite the Stand, and defeated her cleverly by a length and a half; a very bad third. The rest were widely scattered.

This year Fonagh course, over which these annual events are decided, was good going. The sporting men of Limerick and Clare on the ground were numerous, and a large number of visitors from the fashionable watering place of Kilkee helped to swell the sum total of an extremely large gathering of every class in attendance to witness the sport on the first day. There were sundry falls in running for the Kilkee Handicap and Kilrush Plate, none of which proved injurious to either the nags or their risers, and the racing passed over to the satisfaction of every one, there not being throughout the day the slightest occurrence to mar the pleasure which all felt who had the good fortune of being present.

The rapid advance of time and its accompanying change of season has again brought us tci the period at which the second of the Curragh reunions is annually held. Present appearances are favourable, the courses being in fine order, a great many old horses doing strong work, and the number of two year olds in form and about to make their debut for the Stand, Nursery, Wa- terford, and Stewards' Stakes, although not so numerous as last year, owing to some having gone amiss since the April meeting, will in appearance and promise be found to hold their own with most that have preceded them for these events last season, although it is not to be expected that sucli clippers as Roman Bee, Gem of the Sea, Double X., Colleen Rhue, and others will be found among them. On the opening day the contests for the Scurry Stakes and Her Majesty's guineas will first engage the attention of the gay and happy throng of visitors and sportsmen; after which the first of the series of events for two year olds, the Stand Stakes, will be brought on the tapis, and after a rapid dance over the four furlong course some of the following, who are free movers, with appearance to match, arejlikely to furnish the win- ner of the first valuable event for the young ones, namely, Earl Douglas, The Marquis of Kildare ( own brother to Maria, by Prizefighter, who ran Blue Peter to a head for this event last year), or Caroline ( own sister to Mainstay), to whom, with Wa- terloo as a cockboat, we leave the result. The Kirwans is the only other event of the day yet closed, and, as will be seen below, the name of Ophelia figures at the top of the list of acceptors, and if she appears, and is in form, it would be useless to look for her overthrow from the others who have remained in; however, in the event of her absence, either Socrates or Tourist, if sent for the event, should be about winning. On Wednesday Her Majesty's Plate heads the list, followed by the Nursery Stakes for two year olds, to which there are eleven nominations, only a moiety of whom may be expected to run. Those trained at the Curragh, and highly thought of, are Caroline, by Ivan out of Coquette, and Rifle, by Artillery out of Colleen Rhue's dam. Most of the others engaged are in training in Eng- land, including half sister to Ophelia, by Newton- le- Willows, and Union Jack, own brother to Blue Peter, as well as Cliff's lot, and if Union Jack acquits himself as well as his brother did last year, the prize in all probability will fall to his owner, but if defeated it will be by one of Cliff's. The Stewards' Plate, one mile and a quarter on the Peel Course, should fall to either Minerva, Antar, or Redskin. The remaining event, the Selling Stakes, will not close until the evening previous. A good field of youngsters will start on Thursday for the Waterford Testimonials, among whom the following are likely to be found competingfor so valuable a prize : Foam, by De Ruyter out of Surf; one of Lord De Freyne's nominations, by Newton- le- Willows; Bannockburn, by Audubon; Strangeways, by Flateatcher ; filly eut of Fugitive, Physic, The Marquis of Kildare, Rifle, Earl Douglas, Talisman ( own brother to Druid), Honey Bee, and the colt out of Daphne. The running of the two previous days will help to reveal the probable winner, but if Talisman ( brother to Druid), who in his day was the win- ner of so many Queen's Plates arid other events, should reach the short grass with the renown of Newmarket thick upon him, and if a favourite with the Ring, then indeed he may be looked to as the champion, and be kept on the safe side; should he fail, how- ever, there remains nothing for it but to fall back on the winners of the Stand and Nursery Stakes, if engaged for this event, as a slight penalty rarely interferes with success at this time of year over so short a distance At the set of the weights for the Kildare Handicap, Minerva's chance is good, but if she should not be sent to the starting post., then Harvey Birch or York Minster may prove successful. The Four Mile Plate, Stewards', Corinthian, and Flying Stakes, provided for the last day, will prove ample. Owing to most of those engaged in the Stewards' Stakes being amiss and doing no work, the competitors will be few, and we fancy in se- lecting Blarney, by Claret out of Mag on the Wing, with a five pounis allowance, to represent our interests, we will not be far from the mark, however, if he runs for the Stand Stakes on the first day, a more certain estimate of his worth can be formed.

MATCH NEAR RICHMOND, YORKSHIRE, FOR £ 200.— A mateh> for £ 200, originally announced to come off' on Tuesday afternoon last in Leeming- lane, between Holtby and Leeming Bar, caused no small amount of sensation amongst the inhabitants af the neighbourhood of Bedale and Richmond. The match was between Jessie, a bay mare, the property of Mr Kaye, of Liverpool, and Little Boy, a grey horse, belonging to Mr Burke, of Southport. The distance was two miles. Hundreds of people assembled to witness the race, and vehicles of almost all descriptions were pre- sent ; but a great disappointment was in store, for instead of the match taking place on the course at first decided upon ( between Holtby and Leeming Bar), it started at Oran and terminated at Catterick Bridge, in favour of Jessie. Little Boy was obliged to be driven in a dogcart. The disappointed assemblage expressed their disapprobation at the way in which they had been " sold," on the arrival of the horses at Leeming Bar, after the race, by " hissing/' DAISY AND TATER BOB.— For this match, the articles of which were published in our Latest Edition last week, we have received £ 25 a side, and a similar deposit is to be made June 22, at Mr Hallam's. The ponies are to trot 20 miles, for £ 100 a side, July 8, within 50 of and over 20 miles from Birmingham. Mr G.

THE QUEEN'S STAND PLATE AT ASCOT. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR: Independently of the fact that it is by no means certain that Knowsley did not, after all, carry his proper weight, as is shown by the letter of your correspondent, *' One of Them," I cannot understand upon what grounds it can be asserted that the horse ran under a " false description." He was described in the cards of the day as Lord Glasgow's b c Knowsley, 4 years old, and although he no doubt claimed, perhaps erroneously, the maiden allowance, yet he was not described as a maiden, and had he merelynot carried a penalty, towhich he might have been entitled for winning, there cannot be a doubt the objection, coming at the time it did, could not have altered the decision of the judge. As to the assertion by which the poor backers of Knowsley are pooh pooh'd, if they only hint that they are not quite satisfied— viz, that because Lord Glasgow has given up his claim to the stakes the matter must be considered settled! Such an argument is too preposterous to be tenable for a moment. No one will, I am sure, think that I wish to cast the slightest imputation upon the owners of the horses in this case; but will any one, who has given the matter the slightest serious consideration, tell me that the owners of the first and second horses in any race, several days after its decision, can agree between themselves as to which horse is to be considered the winner, unless it can be proved, to the satisfaction of the proper authorities, that some law of racing has been broken, rendering it necessary to alter the decision of the judge ? Suppose, for instance, that a horse of mine had run second for the Derby, but that I had backed him to win so large a stake that I could afford to say to the owner of the horse who passed the post firsts " Let me object to your horse on the grounds of a cross, and I will give you the stakes and £ 10,000 into the bargain!'' Will any one tell me that the authorities would be satisfied with this arrangement until it could be distinctly proved to their satisfaction tiiat a cross really had taken place? As Lord Glasgow— no doubt without taking into consideration that others were largely interested, much more so probably than he himself was in the matter— gave up his claim to the stakes im- mediately on being informed that his horse had not, or was sup- posed not, to have carried his proper weight, it is not asking too mucn of Lard Coventry to expect that he will also act in the same straightforward sportsmanlike manner, should it be proved either that Knowsley did carry his proper weight or that the objection came too late to be sustained ? No one who saw the race can be of opinion that even if Knowsley had carried the dis- puted 41b the running would have been altered, though this has probably little or nothing to do with the matter. I hope I have said enough to show that the backers of Knowsley have a right to demand that the committee of Tattersall's, who are elected for the purpose of protecting the interests of members and betting men generally, should investigate the matter thoroughly. May I beg of you to insert this in your paper next Sunday.— Yours, & c, A SUFFERER. THE START FOR THE DERBY. MR EDITOR: What might have been the result of the race for the Derby had the horses departed from the post at the first attempt is impossible to say, but the meanest capacity must admit that the owners of the horses that the headstrong jockeys took away twenty or thirty times before the start was allowed had but a sorry chance of landing the stakes. If it is not a start until the white flag has been lowered, upon what principle do the jockeys set their horses going whilst it is held aloft ? And when they have done so over and over again, how happens it that the badness of their conduct lias not been reported ? Are the jockeys that started off in the last Derby upwards of twenty times whilst the flag was up to be allowed to do so with impunity? Is there no authority sufficiently powerful to prevent itl And why were the transgressors not subjected to the same punishment that had been so recently inflicted upon others 1 I know it is the opinion of Admiral Rous, as well as my own, that there would be no difficulty in getting off even a large field of horses, if jockeys would remain behind the starting post until the white flag was dropped. Why are they not made to do so ? PLAIN WAY. [ Plainway must remember that some horses will break away as they gather together at the post and know what is coming.] HORSES STRUCK OUT OF THEIR ENGAGEMENTS.

The Cleveland Horse and Hound Show will be held this year at Redcar, on Friday, 31st of July. The fixture is rather earlier than usual, a judicious alteration, as the meeting will not now in- terfere in any way with the opening days on the moors.

North, who was for several years Clerk of the Course at York, and well known in racing circles. He was elected sheriff for the city of York in 1840, and of late years he occupied the post of secretary to the York race committee. His health had been de- clining for several months past, and at length dropsy set in, which carried him off very rapidly. He was much respected in his own neighbourhood, and was followed to the grave by several mem- bers of the York race committee. PRINCE OF WALES'S RACING LEDGER.— This racing " Turf dic- tionary," which has recently made its appearance, cannot fail to prove highly useful to those who are actively engaged in Turf pursuits, and to handicappers especially it must prove most valuable, so clearly and fully are " previous performances'' laid down. The compilers thus explain the plan of their undertaking : —" Inpreparing this work our aim has been to show at a glance the racing status of each horse; and, by a mosthly issue, to keep the changes constantly occurirng before the eye of the sporting public; and, in fact, to make the ' Ledger and Directory' the ' Bradshaw' of the Turf." We may add that single monthly copies may be obtained at 6s 6d each, the terms of subscription for the year being two guineas, and a careful study of its pages mtii mo < i<- inTifnot. anwa « ' speculators" much heavier will, we doubt not, frequently save ' sums than these. PONY RACE AT NOTTINGHAM, FOR £ 100. Beveral thousand persons assembled on the race course at Not- tingham on Thursday afternoon last to witness a pony race, fop £ 50 a side, three quarters of a mile, at catch weight, between Mr Mason's French Flyaway and Mr J. Harding's Princess Alex- andra. The Hand and Hand enclosure was thronged by gentle- men from all parts of the county, and there being a tolerable sprinkling of the sporting element, betting was very brisk, 6 to 4 and in some instances 2 to 1 being laid on the Princess. The ponies were in splendid training condition, and looked fit to run for life. Both have done some good things in their time, the last victory of the Princess being at Southwell, in May last, when she won the Pony Stakes ( in heats) with ease, beating several " good goers." At three o'clock the startwas made, and French Flyaway went off with the lead, which he increased to about twenty lengths while rounding the Mansfield turn, eventually runaing in a. winner by that distance, without turning a hair, and f& wyiiig about a stone more weight than his antagonist. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JUNE 21, 1863.

This club commenced its season Thursdaj-, June 18, with a re- gatta at Cantley, about twelve miles from Norwich, and judging from appearances one would infer that its popularity and prospe- rity are on the increase. The first match was for a prize of £ 15, and the course commenced from moorings on the south side of the Cantley long reach, the yachts sailing down the stream about one mile, then back again to a point about half a mile below an object rejoicing in the euphonious title of the " Devil's House," and then finally making their way to their moorings This course was traversed three times, so as to make up a distance of about 10 miles in all, and it was gone over again in a second match which followed. The entries in the first match comprised the Myth, 9 tons, Mr R. J. Harvey; the Alabama, 14 tons, Mr E. 8. Traffbrd ; the Belvidere, 9 tons, Mr W. H. Clabburn; the Wanderer, 14 tons, Mr R. J. H. Harvey; the Red Rover, 14 tons, Mr S. Nightingale; the Marguerite, 13 tons, Mr H. K. Tompson ; and the Vindex, 9 tons, Mr J. Tomlinson. The Alabama is anew yacht built by Mr Hastings, © f Great Yarmouth, Mr Trafford having sold his old yacht the Argonaut, which was rather a dull sailer. The Vindex is also a new yacht, built by Messrs Harvey, at Ipswich, and both these new craft promise to be valuable accessions to the club fleet. The Marguerite, although entered, did not start, as although a Cowes- built yacht she has not proved very successful in river navigation— at least so far as the winding Yare is concerned. The Myth, Wanderer, and Vindex did not complete their course, and the match was thus virtually confined to the Alabama, the Belvi- dere, and the Red Rover. This last yacht, which recently figured in a match on the Thames, and which is regarded as a first- class member of the club fleet, was lightened to the extent of a ton of ballast early in the day, and it was subsequently found that this had been a mistake, as she would not go sharp to the wind. This accounts for the comparatively unfavourable position which she occupied on Thursday. The Alabama had the lead at starting, but in the second reach she was overhauled by the Belvidere, which was not afterwards headed, and gradually obtained a de- cided advantage. The times at which the various rounds were completed were not recorded with quite the usual precision, as from the point of observation selected there was some difficulty in making out the various competitors. The first three yachts were, however, noted as follows at the close © f the first round :— H. M, S. I H. M S. I H. M. S. BELVIDERE .. 12 55 35 | ALABAMA 12 57 0 I MYTH 12 59 35 The start had taken place at 12: 16: 0, but about 39 minutes were consumed in running the first three miles, in consequence of the lightness of the 8. S. E. breeze which prevailed. In the second round, in the course of which the Myth retired, it was not con- sidered necessary to time the yachts, but the Belvidere went gradually ahead. The third round closed as follows:— H. M S. | H. M. S. I H. M. S. BELVIDERE 2 23 20 | ALABAMA 2 27 50 | BED ROVEB.... 2 43 10 The Belvidere thus won the match, and Mr Clabburn, her owner, must be congratulated on the highly successful debut which he made on this his first public appearance at the regattas of the club. The Belvidere, it will be remembered, was owned a year or two since by Mr T. M. Read. The Wanderer, it is understood, split her topsail in the course of one of the rounds. The second match comprised two classes of competitors, and two distinct prizes were offered, but the whole started together. The first prize offered to the first class was £ 10, and the second to the second class consisted of the entrances paid during the day by the various yachts which competed (£ 710s). The entrances in the second match comprised the Vindex, Mr J. Tomlinson; the Enchantress ( latteen), Mr H. P. Green, 6 tons; the Vampire ( latteen), Mr W. 8. Everett, 8 tons ; the Myth, Mr R. J. H. Harvey ; the Belvidere, Mr W. H. Clabburn ; the Blanche, 7 tons, Capt R. Morris ; the Bittern, 7 tons, Messrs Hunsell and Morgan; and the Lady in White, 6 tons, Mr J. L. Barber. The Belvidere, however, did not start, her owner gracefully deciding on remain- ing content with one prize, so as to leave the field as open as pos- sible to the members of the club. The Vindex, the Enchantress, the Vampire, and the Myth were entered for the first prize ( the En- chantress being raised to 8 tons for the purposes of the match, with reference, of course, to allowance for tonnage), and the Blanche, the Bittern, and the Lady in White figured in the second " category," as French yachtsmen would phrase it. The contest between the Vindex and the Enchantress was close and interesting. The Vindex is a beautiful little cutter, but she ap- peared to carry scarcely sufficiently large sails. On the other hand, her latteen- rigged opponent, although a small craft, has a propor- tionately immense foresail. The owner of the Vindex considered that he did not receive fair treatment at the hands of the En- chantress, which at one point in the first round did not leave him a free course. The yachts were very close together, and the En- chantress, being on the starboard tack, should, it was contended, have given way, instead of which the Vindex was forced, in order to avoid a collision, to be put about, thereby, of course, losing way for a second or two. It was also an item of complaint in the pro- test which Mr Tomlinson entered that the Enchantress did not start as she ought to have done from the moorings assigned to her by lot, although probably this arose from the fact that she had scarcely time to cast anchor before the signal to start was fired at 3: 30. The Vindex led off at first, and was closely followed by the Enchantress, the others being gradually left a long distance astern. At some points the Enchantress overhauled the Vindex, but in other reaches the cutter caught up her opponent, and towards the close had a lead of about 60 yards. In the final run to the moor- ings the distance between the two wa3 considerably reduced. The times at which the two first rounds were completed were not re- corded, but the final result was noted as follows, so far as the Enchantress, Vindex, and Blanche were concerned:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. ENCHANTRESS.. 5 34 5 | VINDEX 5 35 0 | BLANCHE 5 47 30 These times were recorded as the yachts came to their respective moorings, and the Enchantress reached its stake 55 seconds before the Vindex arrived at the point from which it had started ; hence the apparently considerable difference between the two yachts, al- though they were actually nearly side by side. The protest entered by Mr Tomlinson will have to be considered by the committee, and until their decision is known it is impossible, of course, to state who won the £ 10 prize. The £ 7 10s was allotted to the Blanche, the others having either retired or being so far distanced that they were not timed. The club must be congratulated on the novelty which the pro- ceedings of Thursday displayed. Last year its regattas presented a great sameness, but this year there has been a very liberal infu- sion of new blood, and the happiest results may be anticipated. From this remark it should not be inferred for a moment that any desire exists to depreciate the merits of Mr J. L. Barber, who proved so successful in 1862 with the Wanderer, and who is an ex- cellent practical yachtsman. STATION, YACHT, . 1. GALATEA— 2. GLORIANA .. 3. ALBERTINE 4. ALBATROSS ..

A special general meeting of the club Has been called for 8: 30 p. m. on Thursday, June 25, at the club house, Albemarle- street, for the purpose of receiving and considering a report from the special committee, and also for the purpose of proceeding with the election of a commodore and vice- commodore, adjourned at the last meeting held in May. ROYAL LONDON YACHT CLUB. The monthly meeting of this club was held on Monday even- ing, June 15, at the Caledonian Hotel, Adelphi, the Commodore, Mr A. Arcedeckne, in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, some protests ware in- troduced. The Emmet protested that her measurement by the R. L. Y. C. was both incorrect and excessive. It is urged that she is a bond fide 32 tonner, and not 36 as made by the club; also that she has a certificate of R. T. Y. C. measurement for 32 tons. The Glimpse also protested against her measurement. The Volante and Mars were protested against for not sailing in ordinary sea- going trim, and the Volante charged the Amazon with luffing across her bows in Long Reach to prevent her passing, and running her ashore. As there was great diver- sity of opinion on the subject, Mr Eagle moved, seconded by Mr Davev, that they be referred to the sailing committee, which was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was then passed to Mr Wood for the presentation to the club of a magnificent atlas, and also to the stewards of the boats engaged in the two races, for the excellent opportunity that they had afforded Jthe public of seeing the sport. Mr Crosley, in a lengthened speech, returned thanks for himself and brother stewards. Mr Arcedeckne, as usual, kindly presented the house dinner with a haunch of venison, to which ample justice was done. In the course of the evening Mr Goodson, the deputy chairman of the Great Eastern Railway, in answer to a question put to him, said both Harwich Eegatta, on the 22d July, and Walton- on- the- Naze, on the 5th of August, would be well worth attending. Good prizes would be offered at both, and it was probable that the season would wind up with a regatta at Dover. We have since writing our report heard that the Emmet was remeasured, and found to be entitled to the first prize. ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB. MR EDITOR : I read to- day among the advertisements in your paper the very handsome programme of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club for their regatta on the 26th and 27th inst, but in it were a few words which I did not expect to find among the arrange- ments of that truly liberal club, viz, " In all matches three must start or no race." This provision, although common enough in regatta programmes, is one most ingeniously contrived for the destruction of sport and for the introduction of discard; and although its effects ar6 not much felt at the larger regattas, where entries are generally sufficiently numerous to prevent a captious or discontented owner dictating his own terms to the committee and owners of the other yachts entered, or breaking up the race by refusing to start, your own columns tell the tale of how much disappointment and grumbling it causes at the smaller regattas held at out ports, where the sailing committee often have ( in con- sequence of their own printed condition) to go about trying to coax the owners of yachts who may be on the port, but who have no wish or intention of racing, to enter just to make up a race. It acts also as direct means of preventing yachts from going to out stations where regattas with this condition are advertised, from the fear of finding there only a single other competitor, or of hearing that the owners of the other yachts entered do not like the cut of the stranger's jib, think they have no chance, and will not start, in which very frequent case time, money, and her chance elsewhere is thrown away. It is useless and invidious to give names either of yachts or places; but I am sure the expe- rience of all yacht owners, who go much to regattas, will bear me out in this, and in the absurdity of thinking that sport is increased by seeing a third boat, full of stores, and quite unfit for racing, go to the starting buoy, and, perhaps, for a mile or two in the rear of the vessels really contending, for which act of kindness, by the way, her owner often finds next morning some very unflattering comments on his vessel in the local newspaper. If the condition were three to enter or no race there might be some sense in it, as ensuring that a certain proportion of the money given would return into the pockets of the committee in the shape of entranoe fees— a great desideratum in many places, though certainly not the object of the Royal Mersey, all of whose arrangements are quite free from this suspicion, and on this wording an owner could, at a small additional expense, at least ensure that he would get something for his trouble in going to the port, and that no' fractious gentleman who happened to have a headache on the morning of the race, or thinks the day does not suit him, would have the power to say I will not sail myself, and therefore neither of you other gentlemen shall do so. This provision, that three boats should start or no race, was formerly common in rowing conditions, but was found to work so badly, and to cause so many mock races, that I believe the principal rowing clubs have a rule never to enter a boat where it is part of the pro gramme. and the Royal Irish and Royal St George's Yacht Clubs now omit it from their rowing, though they retain it in their sailing regulations. I have little doubt that, on reflection, the ill effects of this provision will appear evident to the committee of the Royal Mersey, and that next year it will disappear from their programme, and probably by degrees from that of all yacht clubs, and that public money once offered will be considered as the laws of the Medes and Persians, which alter not.— Yours, & o, June 9. BED, WITH WHITE MALTESE CBOSS. P. S. I have even seen instances where owners were canvassed not to start against a particular yacht, in order to shut ber out. THE PRINCE OF WALES AMATEUR ROWING CLUB, MANCHES- TER.— The annual junior scullers races, for gold sculls, in connec- tion with the above club, took place on June 8, Mr E. Landless winning the first prize and Mr W. Armitstead the second, banting Messrs Wharf, W, Laudless, and others, after excellent races. Mr Cronshaw officiated as starter and judge. IRISH MODEL YACHT CLUB. JUNE 13.— This was the first match this season © f this spirited little club, and was got up as a substitute for those originally ar- ranged for the first and third classes on June 6, neither of which had filled, the reputation of the Banba in Class 1 frightening away all competitors. It was thought in the club, however, that it would not be treating her owner ( one of the most plucky and skilful of the yachtsmen of the Bay) well to allow him to be alto- gether shut out from competition, and at the meeting on June 4 it was agreed to offer two prizes for tfee first and second boats in a match open to all classes of yachts belonging to the club not ex- ceeding 25 tons, to be manned and steered as usual in the matches of this club by members, or by members of royal yacht clubs, one paid hand only being allowed in each boat, which was to forfeit all claim to the prize if he touched the tiller ; First Class Course, 16 miles; yachts to be handicapped according to size and per- formances by a well- known amateur. Seven yachts entered : — YACHT. TONS. OWNER. VIRAGO 10J J. Eyre BLUEBELL 7 J A. H. Jacob CARINA 11 J. M'Curdy BANBA 24 W. T. Doherty PET 12 Lieut- Col Ruttledge DOVE 12 T. D. Keogh MAGNET 12 E. J. Bolton And it was agreed that the allowance of time granted to each should be given on starting, by which arrangement the race would be more amusing than if the larger yachts ran right away at once from the lesser fry. The day was most propitious ; a nice southerly breeze, bright sun, and smooth water, just the thing for such of the little fellows as ventured to take the ( for them) some- what adventurous voyage under racing canvas out to the ship. At 1: 30 the competitors began to go to their stations, or, more correctly speaking, to anchor here, there, and everywhere they pleased in the harbour, by which want of regularity some got a most unfair advantage at the start, and some very stringent rules must be adopted by the club in future to compel each yacht to take up the station drawn for and allotted to her, and for this occasion only the offenders shall not be gibbeted in print. The day had got so far advanced, however, by the time they all had got some station or another that the starter did not like to lose any more time. At 2: 39 he gave the signal to the Bluebell to go, which she did like a shot, and at the end of the 10 minutes allowed her was well away on her journey, being just able to fetch the Kish Lightship, E. S. E. six miles and a half. After her went the Carina, a new and pretty little craft off Will Fyffe's stocks, but hardly canvassed to sail with such powerful opponents; how- ever, in the five minutes she got she made good use of her legs, and was well away when the three old antagonists, Dove, Pet, and Virago, were slipped after her. In this lot the advantage of the stations alluded to was shown, as Virago cleared the harbour's mouth a good two minutes before the others, and went off like a steamboat, as, indeed, she sailed all day, and it was a pity to mar the effect of her performance by a petty advantage of starting. Pet caught the Dove at the end of the East Pier, and while trying to get by her to windward delayed both until the Magnet, who had, in right of her prowess last year, been weighted to give them two minutes, bore down on them to windward, when the Pet, seeing she could only be jambed be- tween them, gave way, and at 3: 8 ran through Dove's lee like a shot, while at the same time the Magnet gave her the go- by to windward. All had No. 1 or 2 jibs and second topsails for the close haul except the Dove, who set an immense balloon topsail, with a yard like a fishing- rod, which swayed and danced about at every roll, and flung her bodily to leeward, it being merely a question of time when something would go, which at 3: 31 was solved by the weather cross- tree nipping short off, which of course took the topsail in in a hurry, and she fell astern and was seen no more in the race, though she pluckily went round the course with- out a topsail. Meanwhile the big Banba, 24 tons, who had to give the Magnet eight minutes, had cleared the harbour, and was coming along like smoke and rapidly making up her ground. Bluebell went on merrily, in spite of the fresh breeze and roll, when, alas ! just as she got up to the ship, with the Carina close astern, away went her masthead, just in the eyes of the rigging, and her fun was over for the day. The Storm cutter was close at hand, and picked her up, as did the Amy schooner the little' Kiss Me Quick, a new 10- tonner, just constructed by a plucky shipbuilder on spec, which had come out for a try with the racers, and whose mast, while she was sailing remarkably well, had gone over her side about eight feet from the deck. Luckily no one was hurt, and the Amy gave her a spin back to the harbour at a pace she never went before, and probably never will again. Magnet had got well ahead of Pet, and was nearing the ship when first her weather runner and then the block of her topmost shroud gave up, but she was cleverly handled, and both so quickly repaired that she lost but little ground. The ship was rounded:— Carina 3: 39, Virago 3: 41: 15, Magnet 3: 45, Pet 3: 46, Banba— which had come up rapidly— 3: 46: 30, Dove 3: 53. Here the Carina and Banba set bal- loon- jifes, all the rest keeping on the canvas as before, and away they went, an easy reach to the East Bar buoy, 6f miles. The Virago soon passed the Carina, and the Banba the Pet, who finding she would only lose ground from what might be called her proper antagonists, let her go by to windward, without any attempt to stop her. Not so the Magnet, to whom she soon came up, and who luffed right across her bow, and being near the North Burford, which must be left on the* port hand, she was obliged to give it up, and ran wide of her to lee- ward, all catching up the Carina, but doing nothing to speak of with the Virago. They went round the East Bar buoy:— Virago 4: 37, Carina 4: 42, Banba and Magnet together, 4: 43, Pet 4: 45. The Banba and Carina had here to get in their balloon jibs, and all to trim their sheets for a close haul to the South Bar, during which the Banba tried to pass the Carina to windward, but the little fellow would not have it at any price, and bored the Banba right out of his course, made him keep away under his lee, and took the buoy from him. Time: Virago 4: 47: 30, Carina 4: 51: 12, Banba 4: 51: 30, Magnet 4: 52: 30, Pet 4: 54. It was now a dead beat with a fresh breeze ( for little fellows), two miles to harbour, and Banba of course took the lead and kept it for first place ; the Virago, the only one who had a chance, having stood too far in, and at 5: 0 had gone ashore on the sand, where she hung for a period, variously estimated by those on board her at twenty minutes, by those on board the other boats at about five, but probably some seven or eight, during which time the Magnet, Pet, and Carina were making play, and having a hard fight among themselves. At 5: 10 the Magnet just crossed the Pet's bows, Carina falling away; at 5; 20 Magnet came down on Pet, just crossed her bow, and tacked to cover liar, when Pet made a des- perate dash to get across her bow, but being on the wrong tack, and too close, was forced to keep her helm hard up, and bear away round her stern, losing terribly, and, worse than all, letting Virago ( who was coming up merrily) in again, and, being be- calmed under the pier, Virago slipped past her, and her chance of third place and pocketing the entries was gone. Banba got in at 5: 39, and of course took first prize; Magnet 5: 47, second; Virago 5: 47: 40, Pet 5: 48: 9, Carina 5: 50; the Dove, with her weather cross- tree hanging as an outward and visible sign of grief, coming in at 6: 10. Thus ended a most agreeable and pretty match, and from the time the boats got in it will be seen that the handicap was a fair one, although it is hardly possible to bring boats of such different tonnage as 24 and 7£ together. The next race of the club will be on the 20th June, for a binnacle compass, pre- sented by the hon secretary, open to all yachts of the club not exceeding 20 tons, when it is expected, if the weather be pro- pitious, that a good race will take place, the new cutter Glide, from Belfast, being named to try her speed with the old champions of the bay. T. Haywood of Westminster accepts the challenge of S. Short of Bermondsey, and will meet him on Tuesday night, June 23, at the Brown Bear, Milbank- street, Westminster. CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. CHAMBERS AND GREEN.— Any match must be attractive in which is to be displayed the magnificent sculling of Robert Cham- bers of Newcastle, and any match in which the Championship is involved must also be attractive of itself, but in the present case, not only were both these attractions combined, but the extraordi- nary novelty added of one coming many thousand miles to win for himself, if possible, the envied position of Champion of the Thames. Such pluck deserved, perhaps, a belter fate than to find itself face to face with the great skill of Chambers, and we feel sure that when our readers have gone through the following ac- count, when they have seen what Green did, and find that perhaps under less disadvantageous circumstances, for doubtless he was not quite well, he might even have done much better, the same feeling which prompted the hospitable reception of our cricketers in Australia, will induce the English lovers of aquatics and ad- mirers of gallantry to come forward liberally, and in some mea- sure endeavour to reimburse the loser some of his great expenses. Having so lately given an account of Chambers's performances, it will only be necessary to say of him that he has been engaged altogether in nearly 100 races, the majority of which he has won. His age is 31, his height 5 feet 9| inches, and he weighed on this occasion list 41b. RICHARD AUGUSTUS WILLOUGHBY GREEN was born in the township of Greenwich, North Shore, Pert Jackson, on the 23d August, 1836, and is now, therefore, nearly 27 years of age. He is a very fine specimen of antipodean strength, standing 5 feet 10| inches, although his breadth of shoulders and back gives one the idea that he is not so tall. He weighs ordinarily in walking gear nearly 13 stone, but pulled himself down to list 101b, which was his weight on Tuesday. Like his opponent, lie is a landsman, although not brought up in so hard a school. He is, like his father before him, a ship and boat builder; and from his early training, therefore, naturally took to the water, having rowed, we are told, as early as fourteen, and vanquished men many years his senior. He first came prominently into notice when he had just turned seventeen, and gradually rose in popular opinion and notoriety until he became the champion of his native land, and the fine sculler he un- doubtedly is. The following is a list of his principal performances, for which we are mainly indebted to Royston's Bowing Almanack, much valuable assistance having been rendered us by Mr Howell, of New South Wales. On the 30th November, 1853, he won a prize of £ 7, open to amateurs, in wager boats, beating J. Howard, Younger, and P. Murray. On the 26th of January, 1854, at the Anniversary Regatta, or the regatta established in commemo- ration of the foundation of the colony, he won a prize of £ 10, for amateurs, in wager boats, beating J. Howard, D. Healey, and W. Howard; at the same regatta also winning a prize of £ 7, for youths under eighteen, in dingies. On Dec 26, at the Wooloomooloo Regatta, he won an open prize of £ 20, beating H. Green, G. Mulhall, and J. Rice. In 1855, at the Anniversary Regatta ( Jan 26), he pulled second to H. Green in an open race in wager boats, beating Tom Magrath and Howard. At the North Shore Regatta, May 24, he won a prize of £ 40, in watermen's sculling boats, open to the world, beating G. Mull- hall, T. Mullhall, and M. Love. On Nov 30, at Balmain Regatta, he was beaten by Tom Magrath in a race for £ 30, in wager skiffs, and wound up the year at the Wooloomooloo Bay Regatta by beating G. Mullhall and J. Rice, and winning a prize of £ 20 for all men in watermen's boats. In 1856, his great year, he had risen into public note, although only 20 years of age, and was matched against the reputed best man at that time, Tom Magrath, who defeated him in a match for £ 100 a side, on Jan 21. On Jan 26 he paid his usual visit to the Anniversary Regatta, and there pulled second to his brother Henry, in a race for all men, in any boats, beating T. Magrath and D. Healy ; and at the same regatta won a prize of £ 40, open to all, in watermen's boats, beating Tom Magrath, G. Mullhall, and G. Nash. On Feb 26, he won the first heac of the Champion's Cup, value £ 150, with £ 25 added, beating A. Green and G. Clayton. On April 22 he beat Jack Dewardt, for £ 400 and the championship of Port Jackson, over a six mile and a half course. On May 24, at the North Shore Regatta, he won the Champion Cup, value 50 guineas, with £ 20 added, open to all men in wager boats, beating D. Healy and H. Green; and at the same regatta won a prize of £ 20, open to all, in watermen's boats, beating Dewardt and H. Green. On the 24th of June he beat Magrath in a private match, for £ 200 a side and the championship of Port Jackson, six miles and a half; and on July 26 he won the second heat for the Champion Cup, value £ 150, open to the world, beating Henry and Robert Green; and at the Wooioomooloo Bay Regatta, Dec 26, pulled second to his old opponent Magrath in an open race, defeating H. Green. We now come to the year 1857, and again find him pulling second to Magrath in an open race, receiving second prize, but he defeated Magrath in an open race, for £ 20, at the same regatta ; and on the 31st of the same month won the final heat for the Champion Cup, value £ 150, with a puree of sovereigns added, beating H. Green and G. Clayton. At the North Shore Regatta, on May 24, he won a prize of £ 30, open to all, in wager boats, beating Tom Magrath and H. Green; and at the same regatta won £ 30, in watermen's boats, open race, beating H. Green and G. Mullhall. On the 28th of September he won a silver cup at Cremorne. On Nov 30, at Balmain Regatta, he pulled in a disputed race with Magrath, Jem Candlish, and H. Green"; rowing second to Magrath in a race, for all wager boats, at Wooloomooloo Bay Regatta, Dec 26, for a prize of £ 21; and to account for this and other similar defeats we are informed that Green frequently rowed when in no sort of condition, and nearly two stone heavier than he pulled on Tuesday last. His next great race was with Jem Candlish of Newcastle- on- Tyne, the vanquisher of Harry Clasper and others, and opponent of Jem Messenger in this country. Candlish had at that time only lately taken up his abode in Australia, and thought himself good enougfi to contend with success against the best of the natives. They met on the 19th of January, 1858, and rowed for £ 200 a side over a four mile comrse, Green adding ano- ther to his already long list of victories. On the 26th of the same month, at the Anniversary Regatta, he won the Cham- pion Race far £ 35, beating H. Green, rowing second with his brother to Punch and Cronin in a pair- oared race at the same re- gatta. On the 27th of December, at Wooloomooloo Bay Regatta, lie won the Champion Prize of £ 15, beating Magrath and Cand- lish. On the 24th of May, at the Manley Beach Regatta, in the Watermen's Race, in working boats, for£ 20, he pulled third toWhite and Nash, owing to a foul, beating Mullhall and Conolly, and with Punch beat Harry White and Tom Day, both from the old country, in a pair- oared race, for £ 10. After this his old opponent Tom Magrath challenged him again for the supremacy, and they rowed three miles and three- quarters, on Aug 9, for £ 200 and the Championship, on the Paramatta river, Magrath, as on the pre- vious occasion, having, to succumb to his better opponent. On December 26, in the same year, he again visited Wooloomooloo Bay Regatta, when he won the Champion Race, in skiffs, for £ 20, beating Magrath. Harry W hite, brother of, the celebrated Tom, who was always a rattling good man here, next challenged him, and Green rowed him three miles and three- quarters on the Paramatta, in the beginning of 1860, and staked £ 75 to £ 50, White falling another victim to the native champion. After this he again de- feated Magrath from the scullers race at North Shore Regatta, doing nothing further of importance till the latter end of 1861, when he proceeded to Hobart Town with Punch, Magrath, Cronin, and his brother Henry, and won a whale- boat race, open to the world, distance eight miles, for a purse of £ 125, six boats starting; and the same day won the Champion Race, open to the world, beating five others. On Jan 26,1862, he walked over for the Champion Race of £ 20 at the Anniversary Regatta. His career has therefore been most successful, and among other things he has rowed in t wenty- two pair- oared races, besides nume- rous four- oared and whale- boat races, winning more than half of them. After his defeat of Magrath in 1859 some lengthy correspon- dence passed between the two countries relative to a boat race be- tween the best men in the two hemispheres, and Green, the cham- pion of our most distant colony, was ultimately sent over 15,000 miles of sea to contend for the " empty honour" of being con- sidered Champion of the Thames. He left his native country with the best wishes of all to whom he had made himself known, as much by his gentlemanly deportment and amiability of disposition, as by his prowess, early in June, 1862, and arrived in England safe and well in August. Arrangements had been made for his caking up his abode at Harry Kelly's, the ex- champion, and to his well- known hostelrie, the Bells, Putney, he at once repaired. His rowing was, of course, eagerly watched, and it was found that his style was very ugly and defective, and such as to leave one thoroughly in the dark as to how he could have proved so good a man in his own country. This wore off, however, by degrees under the able guidance of Kelly, whom we hear Green, as he became used to our river and fell more into our style, could beat with tolerable ease. There can be no doubt that no man ceuld have paid more attention to any one than did Kelly to Green. Morning, afternoon, and evening they were to be seen together, either accompanying one of the many races which have occurred since Green's arrival here, or in strict training, and at length the Australian's rowing began to assume a more tangible shape, and those who had an opportunity of seeing him " on the quiet" were justified in taking the odds. He brought a tubular boat with him, and she was as much the cynosure of all eyes as the man himself ; but ultimately Green found her too light, and rowed in one built by Biffen. Meanwhile Chambers. aftov a u • i v t 11, - i • s ii H rl..,-/ if. i/ l t/, i ! .-. i after a short period devoted to rejoicing at his defeat of Ever- son, set to work to prepare himself to maintain the proud title he has so long held, and, as usual, placed himself under the guidance of his old mentor, Harry Clasper, and Edwin Win- ship. Under their care he took such long and strong jjulls that the superfluous flesh was soon taken off, and he arrived in London on the 6th of June, taking up his quarters, as of old, at Salter's, the Feathers Tavern, Wandsworth. He rowed in the same boat as that in which he defeated Everson. Ralph, of Wandsworth, made the sculls for both. Green, it will be remembered, had just previous to the last race for the Cham- pionship not enjoyed the best of health. It was considered, therefore, advisable just before his race to send him to the sea side for a few days, and he was accordingly at Littlehampton on the Sussex coast, when the northern hero came to town. The next day, however, Green arrived all the better for his trip, and we now have the men before us up to the week previous to the great event. Londoners had now two men to watch instead of one, and it was only natural that preference should be given to the northerner, after his many brilliant victories, and looking at his wonderful rowing. 6 to 4 was offered freely on the north countryman, but the Australians, with an untried man in these waters, would not take less than 2 to 1, and this they eventually got, the public towards the last laying 11 to 4 and 3 to 1 against the Antipodean representative. W hat reason they had for such a course we realty cannot conceive, for Green had triumphed with ease over his previous opponents, had beaten some of our best men, and had rowed long distances. An idea, however, seemed to have entered the heads of the greater portion of the British public, and even men who should have known better, that " he could not pull a little," as they termed it, in which respect they were most egregiously deceived, for no man ever looked more like Champion of the Thames than did Green in one part of the race last week. At length the great day arrived, the day which should decide whether Old England should maintain her honour untarnished, or be compelled to relinquish it in favour of a colonist; and although championship days are always days of high holiday to the habitues of Bermondsey, Wapping, and other places down east, those places turned out their hundreds on Tuesday, where, in ordinary cases, they send only their scores, and from ten o'clock in the morning boat after boat left the various local stairs for Putney, and we are really not exaggerating when we say they might have been counted by thousands. The road also brought its usual number, the accom- panying steamboats were with very few exceptions crowded to excess, and the bridges and towing- paths, starting and finishing points, were densely crowded. In fact, so much interest has not been taken in any boat race for many years, although a steady rain had begun to fall as early as twelve o'clock, and continued all day. Thirteen steamboats and three tugs had been engaged to accompany the race, and these having arrived at intervals at Putney, took their positions in various parts of the river. The London Rowing Club and Thames Subscription Club, however, adopted the best plans, the former holding on by one of the but- tresses of the Aqueduct, while the Thames Subscription boat, the Warrior, was fastened by the stern to the old bridge, between the two men, and the instant they started let go and followed them right up, and her captain ( Atkins) deserves the greatest praise for the ex- cellent and uninterrupted view he afforded us of the whole of the race. Chambers, accompanied by his cutter, in the head of which was Stephen Salter, Tom Grant, as usual, being coxswain, left the Feathers at twenty minutes to two, and rowed up to the bridge in his usual magnificent style, and on his emerging through the bridge was greeted with one huge stentorian shout by the parti- sans and an unusually large number of his countrymen. Green left Simmons's a few minutes later, and was also warmly cheered. He was accompanied by his mentor, Harry Kelly, as pilot, and Phelps steered his cutter. Mr Howell had been appointed um- pire for his man, and Harry Clasper for Chambers; while Mr C. Clifford had been unanimously appointed referee, at the meeting at Mr Laidler's, the New Inn, Old Bailey, the day before. These officials were on board Citizen N, which having taken a position, and Green having won the toss, THE START took place at about five minutes after two, on a moderate tide and with a course tolerably clear, thanks to a very large body of Thames police. As they sat their boats Green, although not pos- sessing such muscular development, looked every inch as good as his opponent, and thought so as he eyed him. They got away without any delay, and to the surprise of all Chambers went away with the lead, a thing he had never done before on the Thames. Green, however, soon collared him, and rowing a much steadier and longer stroke than had been expected, although necessarily shorter than his © pponent's by comparison, darted in front, mov- inghis sculls evenly together, and laying down most unmistake- ably to his work. His delivery as he proceeded was extremely good, though rapid. At the Steamboat Pier he led by half his length, at Simmons's by three- quarters, and although Chambers here drew a trifle, Green went away again and led by more than a clear length at the London BoaJ; House. The pace was enormous, as was evident by the fact of Chambers rowing harder in the rear than he ever had to pull against any Londoner, but Green was proof against all his rowing ; the Australian blood was hot lay down to his work still more, and slightly decreased the gap again, but Green renewed his exertions and went further than ever ahead, being nearly a length clear just beyond the Bishop's Creek; and at the Point, where both hugged the Middlesex shore, and were nearly fouled by some boats, the Australian had a clear length to the good. Chambers again and again looked round to attempt to catch a glimpse of his opponent, but could not succeed in doing so ; and his exertions were so great, and his position atthis part of the race so unprecedented a one with him, that it was pro- nounced by many good judges that liis rowing here and further on was at times very wild, and that he got out of that splendid form which one has been accustomed to consider as belonging to him alone, for the simple reason that no Londoner had ever held him so well or made him row so hard for the title he holds. Some will have it that he had the race in his hands all along, but the pace at which they rowed, especially when we consider there were no less than 16 or 17 steamboats drawing the tide down with them, is, we think, a sufficient answer to this view of the matter, and we have no doubt that Green is about the fastest starter ever seen. At the Point Green went rather wide, and Chambers, catching sight of him, drew up a trifle ; but Kelly signalled frantically to his man to keep right ahead of his oppo- nent, and so give him his wash, and the Australian doing so, the posi- tions and gap became the same as before. Chambers, between here and Craven, hugged the bight in order to go clear of his antago- nist, Green apparently rowing with ease, although this appear- ance may have only been caused by his style of rowing, the mus- cles of the back not having that enormous play so conspicuous in Chambers, and the limbs being made to do more than their or- dinary duty. At Craven Cottage the Australian had increased his lead to full a clear length, and led by a little more at the com- mencement of the shoot. In the middle of it, however, when opposite the Dung Wharf, he seemed to be becoming ex- hausted, his rowing became unsettled, and very short and snatchy, and Chambers putting it on drew close on his stern, and then fell away again, probably because Green was crossing in his own water, and a foul here would have lost the North Countryman the race— in fact, it was evident even before this that neither man wanted to take an unfair advantage of the other. On getting half his length ahead again the hopes of Green's party ascended more than ever, while the North country division seemed scarcely to know what turn things would take, as the steamers were crowd- ing round the men as they passed the Crab Tree, and it was im- portant that the best man should be clear away here, as his chance would otherwise probably be gone for ever. They had not long to wait, however ; half way between the Crab Tree and the Soap Works Green was leading by a clear length again, when Chambers came with a rush— for the piece of rowing he exhibited here can be called by no other name— and covered his opponent's stern. Green put on a spurt and cleared himself again but the effort was but a puny one, for Chambers collared him afresh at the bottom of the Soap Works bridge, was level with his sculls an instant afterwards, and before they had reached the middle of the bridge was level with him, and then took his water, Green shut- ting up the instant he was collared. Chambers had now nothing to do but to row easily, and passed under Hammersmith Bridge in 9min 33sec, leading by two clear lengths. As Green was merely paddling, and evidently unable, through sheer exhaustion, to do more, the majority of the steamers went ahead of him after he passed the Doves, and after Chambers, who, did he not possess the nerve he undoubtedly does, never could have preserved his equanimity through the maelstrom surrounding him. He passed under Barnes Bridge in 2lmin 30secfrom the start, and reached the Ship in 25min 25sec, winning the Championship for the fourth time with the greatest ease. Green attributes his defeat to weakness consequent upon diarrhoea during the last few days of his training, and to his having been seized with inward spasms just before he was passed. He certainly looked very ill when he rowed up, and had to be very carefully tended by Dr Smith on board the umpires' boat; and the best proof that something was wrong is shown by the fact that he has challenged his opponent to a fresh match, and they meet on Tuesday evening, June 23, at Harry Kelly's, to make a fresh match. DREWITT AND WILSON. The least important of the three great events this week came off on Wednesday, June 17, from Putney to Mortlake, and attracted a large number of spectators, although Putney seemed singularly deserted after the scene of the day before. The competitors were George Drewitt, the well- known landsman of Chelsea, and Teas- dale Wilson, waterman, of Newcastle- on- Tyne, and it was agreed that they should row from Putney to Mortlake, for £ 100 a side, the same parties being behind Wilson as those backing Chambers. With G. Drewitt's performances our readers are well acquainted, his career having been a very successful one, and his last race that with T. Royal of Pim! ico, whom he defeated very easily. His age is 28, weight lOst 121b, and height 5ft 9in. Wilson's career has also been a successful one, although, unlike his opponent, he has not been accustomed to row in first- class wager boats; his perform- ance having been mainly confined to races in the heavy boats used on the Tyne, called ballast keels. In these his strength has generally carried him through a winner, and he has been previously tried in the lighter craft, but it is evident that he is never destined to shine in these, as his easy defeat and awkward rowing on Wednesday clearly show. Wilson weighs list 71b, stands 5ft lOin, and his age is 26. Both men took great pains to prepare themselves for the event, Drewitt taking his breathings at Mr Wilcox's, the White Hart, Barnes, and Wilson being looked after at home, until Saturday, June 6, when he left for the Feathers, in company with his brother townsmen. There his rowing was carefully attended to, and as carefully watched, and as he did not sit his boat in any form, and merely scrambled through the water, Drewitt was made the fa- vourite, as he was known to be rowing better than ever ; but a troublesome boil threw him off his rowing for some days, and as a cold Wilson had when he came to London had left him, the odds veered round, and were 6 to 4 on Wilson the night before the race, but they again experiencedaslight change, and were 5 to 4 just before the start, evens while Wilson led slightly, and any odds on Drewitt when he began to lead. No less than three steamboats had been engaged to accompany the race, viz, Citizen L, the Victoria, and Venus. The former carried the officials, Mr Ireland having been appointed referee at the meeting at Laidler's, the New Inn, Old Bailey, on Monday, June 15, and the umpires being Harry Clasper for Wilson, and Mr Wilcox for Drewitt. Old John Phelps looked aftei'Drewitt's requirements in the way of piloting, while William Pecock, the renowned general, attended to Wilson. They came out soon after half- past two o'clock, Wilson row- ing in the boat in which Chambers defeated White, and Drewitt in one of Jewitt's, and the former having won the toss took the Middlesex side, and dispossessed himself of all outward cover- ing; while Drewitt, as usual, rowed in a thin jersey. He looked slightly off his training, but bar that was very well, and never rowed better. They got off at a quarter to three, Drewitt dipping first, and consequently acquiring a lead of about a couple of yards, but Wilson by his great strength closed up the gap in his second stroke, and then went slightly in advance. This continued past the Star to about opposite Simmons's, Drewitt pulling in bis usual pretty form, while Wilson was digging away at it like a below- bridge man, and not quite so scientific even as one. At Simmons's he began to row wilder, and Drewitt collaring him they rowed a ding- dong race to about the Bishop's Creek, where the Chelsea lad began to go away, was half his length ahead in a couple of strokes, and immediately afterwards drew clear and took his opponent's water. Wilson began to cross before they were at Craven, and Drewitt keeping a better course led by two lengths at the Dung Wharf rowing easily, and by four at the Crab Tree; he now eased and allowed Wilson to come up a little, and passing the Soap Works led by three lengths, and by a little more at the bridge, Wilson nearly fouling the pier. Time, 10 minutes. Soon afterwards Wilson stopped to see where his opponent was, and during this Drewitt went over six lengths ahead. Wilson, splashing very much, pursued him, but Drewitt, rowing beauti- fully, only increased his lead, and easing now and then passed under Barnes Bridge in 22min 5sec, leading by 100 yards, and he won fey a little more. Time, 26min. COOPER AND EVERSON. The third great race this week was rowed on Thursday, June 18, and resulted in another victory for the North over the South. The competitors were Robert Cooper of Newcastle- on- Tyne and George W. Everson of Greenwich, and the stake at issue was £ 100 a side, the distance being Putney to Mortlake. Cooper we find has been tour years before the rowing public, during which time he has beaten Oliver of Newcastle for £ 25 a side, Waterson of Newcastle for £ 25, and George Strong, the son- in- law of Harry Clasper, whom he gave two lengths' start, for £ 50. He was beaten by Dick Clasper, Harry's brother, for £ 50 a side, giving Clasper four lengths, and losing by a foul soon after the start. Last year he won the Champion Scullers Eace at the Thames Eegatta, beating Eagers, Drewitt, and Eversen, and he has in addition pulled with success in seven or eight four- oared races at Bedford, Glasgow, and other regattas. He has, therefore, deservedly earned a good name unto himself in the North, and there are many who say he is very near Chambers. Cooper is a stiff- built little fellow, stand- ing 5ft 6in. His rowing weight on this occasion was lOst, although he looks more, and he is 27 years of age. He took his breathings at first in the North, where Jewitt of Dunston built him a boat which carried him well. A fortnight since, however, he took up his quarters at Mrs Baker's, the Star and Garter, Put- ney, where he tells us he was most comfortable. His style of pulling resembles the clean and pretty delivery of Drewitt, and he walks a boat along at a good pace. With Everson's perform- ances all our readers are acquainted, his last being an abortive attempt to wrest the championship from Chambers. He is 29 years of age, stands 5ft in, and weighed lOst llflb, or rather more than when he rowed Chambers, but looked in much better condition, and described himself as being so; he trained at home at first, where he was said to be rowing hard, and on Tuesday week came to town and took up his quarters at Mr Miller's, the Duke's Head, Putney. He rowed in a new boat built by Biffen, and she carried him better than any boat he ever sat before. Three steamboats had been engaged to accompany the race, viz, Citizen B ( Captain Hawkins), the River Queen ( Captain Ayres), and the Venus ( Captain 8tyles), and all were inconveniently and even dangerously crowded, so much interest was taken in the race. Betting had been 5 to 4 on Cooper, but began on the day at 6 to 4, and went up rapidly, without the slightest pretext, to 3 to 1, and we are informed, on credible authority, that much longer odds were offered ashore, but very properly refused. The officials were on board Citizen B, and Mr Biffen was umpire for Everson and Mr Jewitt for Cooper, Mr F. W. Bryant, captain of the West London Rowing Club, having been appointed referee at the meeting at Mr Laidler's on Monday; and in concluding our account of this week's racing we cannot but hail the appointment of the referee before the race as a step in the right direction, and hope the example will be followed in all future scullers matches, as it has the effect of saving a vast amount of time and trouble. The pilots were Bob Chambers for Cooper, and old John Phelps for Everson. Cooper having won the toss, they both stripped and started at about half- past three, on a swinging tide. Everson came away with a slight lead, and held it for about 200 yards, when Cooper closed with him, and at once went ahead, Eversen, who, be it remembered, had led Chambers to the Point, making not the slightest effort to collar him. At the Star Cooper was nearly clear, and at the London Boat House had a lead of a clear length. The steamers here, and to beyond the Point, although so crowded, were not compelled to put any pace on, Cooper being two lengths clear half way up the Bishop's Grounds, and both only paddling, offers being made of 10 to 1 that Cooper won by half a mile. At the Point Everson put on a spurt and came up, but at Craven Cooper went away again, and then the previous slow state of things was resumed, and lasted till near the Soap Works, Everson here putting on another slight spurt; Cooper meanwhile was increasing his lead, and passed under Hammersmith Bridge leading by three lengths. Time, 9min 40sec, or much longer than the state of the tide warranted. After passing through the bridge the race really commenced. Cooper put on a spurt, which took him four or five lengths in front, and Everson repeatedly spurted right through Corney Reach. Passing under Barnes Bridge, reached in 20min 50sec, Cooper led by five or six lengths, and spurting again after this he won by 18 seconds, or over 100 yards, neither man being in the least distressed. The prevalent opinion on board the accompany- ing boats was that the race had not been rowed on its merits, and many expressed their opinian upon the matter in very plain terms. The time of the winner all through was 2imin 37sec. HENLEY ROYAL REGATTA. In our advertising columns we insert the programme of this meeting. With the exception of the year 1840 never have we had to announce so large an amount of entries, enumerating as it does nine distinct eight- oared crews, selected from all the celebrated clubs of the metropolis, universities, and public schools. With such material to work from a most brilliant meeting may be con fidently expected. Nearly the whole of the crews are already at Henley, and the practice over the course every evening would well repay a visit to Henley during the few days previous to the meeting. As the attendance of visitors is expected to be very great, the Great Western Railway will put on numerous special trains, of which those leaving Paddington at 9: 45,10: 45, and 11: 30 will be found very convenient. Trains also leave Victoria station. ^ HAMEJT ROWING CLUB7 The members of this club will row a race in pair- oared outrigged gigs on Saturday, June 20, fromJPutney to Hammersmith, at four o'clock p. m. The stations, & c, areas follow :— Station from Surrey shore. 1. A. Beezley, E. O'Donoghue, G. A. Cook ( cox) 2. W. Partridge, A. Kobertson, J. Heritage ( cox} 3. C. W. Millar, F. Hardie, A.

The laurels are won; the confident have, in some instances, received a shock; the sanguine have deplored their sanguinity; and all doubting hearts have been set at rest, and the world wags on as before. Our space being to a great extent occupied with the more important event of the week, the race for the Championship, we find our columns somewhat limited for the proper chronicling of this important local meeting. The weather unfortunately was not very propitious. The first day rain fell in " gentle showers" the whole of the afternoon, and on Tuesday it rained incessantly the wholeof the day, which damped the hearts of all, as well as the dresses of the fair sex, who mus- tered in considerable numbers to witness the rowing, and to a great extent marred the sport. The racing, however, on the whole was not so good as on previous years, and, under the new management, which curtailed the amounts given for the principal prizes, better sport could hardly have been anticipated. For the open race, however, had the prize been as large as usual, we could hardly have expected a better entry this year, seeing that the principal of the Tyne crews were so much connected with the races rowed on the Thames the same days. There were only three entries for the principal open race, the Patrons' Plate, which was won by the Taylors, the crew belonging to the Northumberland Rowing Club being second. The second money, however, was withheld, owing to only three boats starting, no second money being given with- out four start. The policy of such a course, we think, is rather questionable, especially if it be true that the second money was given in the pair- oared race on the first day, when only two boats started. There were also several other causes of complaint as to the decisions of the stewards, which will in future have to be avoided, if the regatta has to be carried on as heretofore In the Consolation Stakes the Grammar Schsol crew, in the final heat, were allowed to substitute T. Milvain for R. Colling. Milvain does not belong to their club, and is a much superior oars- man to Colling. The crew of the Chance, who were only beaten by two or three feet, assert that they would have won had" Milvain not been allowed to take on oar. Under such circumstances they ought to have had the cups awarded them, and the stewards are very reprehensible in allowing a fresh man to row in a second heat. In the Scurry Stakes and the Durham Stakes there were also disputes, the decision of which did not give satisfaction. There was also much unpleasant- ness caused by the unfairness of Messrs Brignall and Forster in the race for the Raby Plate. Their opponents were two members of the Tyne Amateur Club. The race had not proceeded far when the D. A. R. C., who were leading, backed into their opponent's boat whilst they happened to be in their water, and claimed the foul. Such conduct is much to be regretted, but we are glad to learn that they have since expressed a desire that the prize be given to the Tyne men. We have simply brought these matters forward as impartial chroniclers of such events, without any desire to favour any particular individual or crew, . in the hope that such squabbles and differences may be avoided in future. We may also mention that in future care should be taken to have some person as judge at the winning post. In one or two races this year there was no one. The fireworks, which usually takes place at the close of the regatta, had to be postponed on account of the rain, till Thursday evening. The following is an account of the racing:— MONDAY, JUNE 15.— The MOWBRAY STAKES, a pair- oared race ; one mile and a quarter ; entrance 10s ; for a purse of £ 4, and £ 2 for the second boat; open to all.

C. by four or five boats' lengths, and the Grammar School crew very easily. The BRANCEPETH PLATE, a skiff race, open to all; entrance 7s 6d ; one mile and a quarter ; for a purse of £ 3, and £ 1 to the second boat. LITTLE JACK— George Strong L FAIRY QUEEN— Robert Candiiish 2 MR JOHN ROGERSON— W. Taylor s For this prize there were three entries, all of whom belonged to Tyneside. The race was won in a comparatively easy manner by Strong.

Pattison ( Langley) O NIL DESPERANDUM— T. Drysdale ( Langley) 0 VULCAN— W. R. Jackson 0 After the procession of boats, which took place at five o'clock, the above race was started, and caused, as it usually does, a con- siderable amount of amusement to the numerous spectators who lined the river's banks above the Bath Bridge, where the race this year took place. The whole of the boats started, and they had not gone many strokes before Newby fouled Swinburne, and the former was tumbled into the water. Swinburne then got away, followed closely by R. D. Marshall, and on their return Newby, who was lying in. waiting, ran into Swinburne, and ultimately upset him, filled his boat full of water and sank it. He also waited for the rest of the boats, and paid them a similar " compli- ment,'' R. D. Marshall being the only one who escaped a ducking. H. Marshall, who had gone over the course, went in second. Swinburne, however, was awarded the second money, as Newby fouled him with the hand, which the winning boats had certainly nothing to do do with. TUESDAY.— The races commenced at half- past one with the DURHAM STAKES, a skiff race for inhabitants of the city of Durham; one mile and a quarter; prize, a purse of £ 3, and £ 1 for the second boat; entrance 5s. KETTLEDRUM— It. D. Marshall 1 PHANTOM— G. D. Newby 2 MARIA LOUISE— T. Swinburne 3 Swinburne and Newby came together in the first heat, the latter having the race course side; but they had not gone far till Swinburne, who was in Newby's water, ran into him, and the latter claimed a foul. At Elvet Bridge a similar foul took place, and some words arose between them. Newby kept ahead, and went in a winner by two or three lengths. In the deciding heat Marshall and Newby came together, and the former won. However, strange to state, neither Newby nor Marshall received either first or second money; the stake was divided between Marshall and Swinburne. The RABY PLATE, a pair- oared race, for amateurs; entrance 10s ; one mile and a quarter ; for silver cups. T. A. R. C.— C. G. Johnson, J. Wallace 0 D. A. R. C.— W. Brignall, jun, P. Forster 0 This race was expected to cause much interest, the respective merits of Tyne and Wear being again called into account. The D. A. R. C. won the choice of sides. On starting the D. A. R. C. took the lead, being pressed by the T. A. R. C., who pulled out of their course on leaving Pelaw Wood, and consequently lost ground. In a short time they again drifted towards the shore, and crossed over to the Race Course side, thus entering the water of their opponents. The D. A. R. C. ceased rowing, and were fouled by the T. A. R. C. Both parties claimed the race, the Newcastle crew alleging that they had been fouled by the D. A. R. C. backing into them. The stewards took time to consider their decision, which has not yet been given. The STEWARDS' PLATE, a four- oared race for amateurs; one mile and a quarter; for a set of silver medals, and a medal for the coxswain; gentlemen coxswains ; entrance 15s. T. A. R. C. ( second crew)— E. B. Grey, J, J. Maclean, T. Hen- derson, L. Armstrong, J. Maughan ( cox) 1 D. A. R. C. ( second crew)— J. H. Robson, J. Booth, A. Verner, R. Forster, C. Barnes ( cox) 2 GRAMMAR SCHOOL ( second crew)— W. Milvain, C. J. A. Eade, W. L. Hetherington, W. F. Hamilton, A. Hamilton ( cox). 3 The first heat was won easily by the T. A. R. C., and the final one between the. D. A. R. C. and them was also won in an easy manner, the D. A. R. C. being completely beaten at the Baths Bridge. The PATRONS' PLATE ; open four- oared race; entrance 15s; one mile and a quarter: first boat £ 12, second £ 4. OUSEBURN ( Lonsdale crew)— J. Taylor, J. Matfln, A. Thomp- son, M. Taylor, J. Harrison ( cox) 1 LORD KILMOREY ( N. B. C.)— J. Gillander, W. Master?, J. Blenkinsopp, G. Strong 2 DREADNOUGHT— C. Marshall, J. Craggs, R. D. Marshall, G. D. Newby, J. Colpitts ( cox) 3 The first heat between the Lord Kilmorey crew and the Dread- nought was a most severe race, each boat running abreast down to the Elvet Bridge turn, when the Kilmorey crew, which had the inside turn, gained two or three boats' length, and went in a win- ner by about that distance. The final heat was won cleverly by the Taylors. The second money was withheld, as four boats did not start, and the Newcastle crew were much disappointed. Had they thought ( they say) that the second money would not have been given, they would not have gone to compete at all. The UNIVERSITY PLATE, a four- oared race, for members of amateur clubs in the city of Durham, for a set of silver cups and a medal for the coxswain; entrance £ 1; one mile and a quarter; gentlemen coxswains. D. A. R. C. ( first crew)— W. Brignall, iun, W. H. Hedley, C. Rowlandson, P. Forster, E. H. Dykes ( cox) 1 GRAMMAR SCHOOL ( first crew)— E. Hewison, R. Colling, G. L. B. Bowles, W. Forster, R. J. Chayter( cox) 2 This race was won easily by the D. A. R. C. The CONSOLATION STAKES, a four- oared race; prize, a set of silver- mounted horns; open to all who have not won a race at the ARIEL ROWING CLUB. The race for the Junier Sculls, by members of the Ariel Rowing Club, will take place on Saturday, June 20. To start from Put- ney aqueduct at 5: 30 p. m. punctually. The steamer engaged by the Corsair Rowing Club for their four- oared race will accompany ^ o _ o, - the race.

Thuriow 2 TAG, RAG, AND BOBTAIL— G. Ullathorne, J. Lister, J. Hopper, H. Jepson 0 AMALGAMATED DUFFERS— T. Atkinson, A. Verner, A. W. Wilkinson, W. Powley 0 WHOLE HOG OR NONE ( C. D. R. C.)— C. Marshall, J. Douglas, R. Battensby, T. Burdon, W. Marshall ( cox) 0 ADVENTURERS— H. Nevison, W. Howe, H. Marshall, T. C. Forster 0 The course was from the Ash Tree to Baths Bridge— a nice easy distance. In the first heat Chance and Adventurer came together. Adventurer took the lead, which it maintained for some distance; but eventually Chance crept ahead, upon which the other crew ceased rowing, and Chance went in an easy winner. We may state that the Adventurer was merely a scratch crew, and had little or no previous training. Chance, on the other hand, has been in constant practice for some time. Their style of rowing is very creditable, and we believe that at succeeding regattas they will grove rather formidable opponents. They are a very pro- mising crew. The second heat, between Tag, Rag, and Bobtail and the Grammar School crew, was a more exciting affair, the two boats just bearing and hauling abreast of each other the whole distance, the Grammar Bchool eventually winning the heat by only half a length. The third heat lay between The Amalga- mated" Duffers and Whole Hog or None, and was won by the latter. There was a splendid race between Chance and the Gram- mar School crew for the final heat, the latter trying their best to win at least one prize during the regatta. In this they were suc- cessful, beating their opponents by only a few feet; but we regret to state that the stewards allowed them to substitute T. Milvain for R. Colling in the final heat, without whose assistance, we think, they would not have won. Such laxity is sure to cause much unpleasantness. [ Copy.] To THE STEWARDS OF DURHAM REGATTA. With reference to the amateur pair- oar race for the Eaby Plate, we beg to intimate to you that although by the laws of boat racing we claim the race as ours, yet should you decide in our favour we have determined not to accept the cups, where there might be the slightest doubt entertained by our adversaries of our not being fairly and honourably entitled to hold them.

Sherbrooke 4. Wood 4. Pope Tottenham ( cox) Hon P. Bertie ( cex) Eiiesmere ( cox) The crews got off well together, and there was no material dif- ference. till Athens, when Wood showed to the front; Sherbrooke, however, stuck close to him, and Pope was close behind Sher- brooke. Wood got first round Lower Hope, and Pope pressed Sherbrooke very closely, but could not pass him. After this there was capital racing all the way down. At Hestershed Sherbrooke began to creep up to Wood, and Pope also began to gain. From Railway Bridge there was great excitement, all the fours being so close together that no one could tell who would win for certain. At Brocas Rails Wood drew a little ahead, but was again caught up by Sherbrooke. Wood won, but was not able to clear his length ; Sherbrooke second, and Pope, almost overlapping Sher- brooke, third. As the eight are in trainingjfor Henley they did not row. DUBLIN BAY SUBSCRIPTION CUP. On the 10th instant the third heat for this cup came off with the usual good fortune of the subscribers as regards the weather, and with the advantage to the spectators that the wind, instead of blow- ing out of the harbour as it usually does, w as almost directly into itsmouth, which obliged the racing yachts to beat out, and afforded a much longer and better view than when they go off under their large topsails and jibs, and are away like a flash of lightning. The position of the stations was on this occasion of very cot- ' Ar- able importance, and Echo had the westward and worst bertV* he wind easterly and very light; next to her was the Banba, then the Storm, with L'Eclair to windward, which, together with the fact of her wins on the two previous days, made her a hot favourite, especially as her well- known weatherly qualities would be well served in the long beat, 6j miles, to the light- ship. The first gun was fired at 2: 2, and the second exactly at 2: 7. L'Eclair immedi- ately jumped off her spring, but the Storm was as quick, and nailed her near the harbour's mouth, but somewhat unaccount- ably let her go, without any attempt to stop or hold her under her lee, and she shot through the pier heads at 2: 15; Banba next, 2: 15: 30; Storm, 2: 15: 47, with Echo close astern. All had their large working top- sails and second jibs, except Banba, who had a jib- headed topsail, and Storm her large one, with a jack- yard on the gaff, but which did not seem to serve her at all in the long stretch on a wind which she had to make. L'Eclair went away at once in her usual style, with Echo after her, but before she settled down to her work, and got into L'Eclair's wake, she was fully three minutes astern. Storm went fast through the water, but fell bodily to leeward, and Banba held a good wind, but dropped gradually into the rear. The wind was very light, but seemed likely to stand in the same point as it was blowing, while the warning drum hung at the lighthouse seemed strangely out of place with a warm, bright sun, light wind, and a sea like oil, all traces of the strong breeze and heavy sea of the day before having vanished. At 3: 5 Echo tried a dodge on L'Eclair, and tacked to starboard, standing across the Bay for the Baily Light, and L'Eclair at once followed her example, which was just what she was wanted to do ; but soon smelling a rat, and guessing that she was only wanted to overreach her mark, and have to run back to it with loosened sheets, she at 3: 12 went about again, instantly followed by Echo, the other two now a long way to leeward, holding on their reach. L'Eclair continued to gain, and rounded the ship at 3: 51 ( very slow progress so far), Echo at 3: 59, and just at the same time Storm also tacked for the ship, but distant upwards of a mile. It was now out with balloon jibs is both vessels, and the Echo sent up her balloon topsail thirty- seven feet with a jack- yard on her gaff, which soon began to lug her along with a will, and she commenced quickly to draw on L'Eclair. Wind very light and dead aft, so both set topsails as a sort of squaresail, but with little effect. Opposite the harbour the Echo had fairly drawn up to her antagonist, and the usual jockeying commenced, both luffing up right out of their course, to the great satisfaction of the others, who were coming along pretty fast on the straight course; but before much mischief was caused the wary pioneer of the Echo perceived their little game, and at once put his helm up, and away the two went abreast for the East Bar buoy, L'Eclair to windward. When near the buoy, however, the wily skipper of the Belle schooner— whose services had been secured on board the Echo, and of whose crafty tricks and dodges of the same description in former days many legends are recorded in the racing annals of the Bay— quietly edged his rival pretty close to the buoj-, then pinning in his own mainsheet he let L'Eclair lead, and suddenly hauling across her counter with his bowsprit within an inch of her topsail- sheet between her and the buoy, went out fairly on her weather, his big balloon- jib becalming and stopping his adversary until the shoot was well accomplished. The reach to the South Bar buoy took little time, but the Echo went out clear ahead, and shifting her jib before rounding for a beautiful No. 1 working one, she flew by the mark at 6: 32, L'Eclair 6: 33: 30, Storm 6: 45, Banba about 6: 49. It was then a dead beat to the harbour, two miles, with a very light wind, and L'Eclair was soon at her old game, creeping up to windward ; bus the Echo, her big topsail sitting like a card, and her fine jib doing its work to perfection, cared nothing for her, and rattled through the water at a pace which made her forereaching a greater gain than the weatherly qualities of the other could wipe off. At 7: 27 both tacked close under the Western Pier, Echo now with a lead of more than her time, and looking all over like a winner. The hauling buoy within harbour's mouth was passed, Echo at 7: 36, L'Eclair 7: 39: 41, when— hard fate after so close a match '— the Echo carried the very last breath of the wind past the flag- vessel at 7: 46: 50; while the poor L'Eclair was left dead becalmed in the middle of the har- bour, and after a long struggle to get by was obliged to be igno- miniously towed to her moorings," the same fate happening to the Storm and Banba, who were lucky to get in at all. Thus ended a most interesting and exciting race, at least to the actors therein, and Mr G. Putiand keeps the cup until Sept 9, when it will be again sailed for, and if L'Eclair can again manage to do the trick, her owner will retain it as his own property ; but if the Echo wins, the tie between them must be sailed off most probably on the 16th of that month.

EXCELSIOR BOAT CLUB, GREENWICH.— The members of this club rowed their second race this season on Saturday, June 13, in pair- oared outrigged gigs, for prizes presented by A. Herron, Esq. The course was from Millwall Pier to Biackwall Pier, two miles. The following crews started:— J. Whalley and F. Willcox( red) 1, J. Larchin and A. Hall ( white) 2, O. Britten and H. Chayter ( blue) 3. Another crew entered, but did not start, owing to not being able to get a suitable boat in time to practise. Mr J. E. Brain, the captain, acted as umpire in a club four. A very good start was effected. Red at once jumped off'with the lead. On passing the Dreadnought, Blue, pulling very strong, took second place, but were unable to reach Red, who were keeping a beautiful course. Passing the Crown and Sceptre, White succeeded in pass- ing Blue, and from this point the race was never in doubt, Red, whs were some lengths ahead, winning easily. The rain, which during the race had held off, now came down in torrents, thoroughly drenching the crews on their return. The prizes were afterwards presented to the winners by the captain, who took occasion to compliment them on their excellent pulling. The next race is fixed for July 4, for the captain's prizes. LOWESTOFT REGATTA.— Nothing definite has yet been deter- mined on with respect to this regatta, but the gentleman who for the last year or two has acted as hon secretary has received an intimation from the directors of the Great Eastern Railway Com- pany that they will be happy to render every facility and assist- ance to secure a successful meeting. Last year the company gave half the proceeds of the receipts on the piers, which, together with the harbour, form part of the undertaking, at least £ 50 being added by this means to the regatta funds. As the directors still show the same friendly disposition as in former years, an excel- lent meeting may be anticipated some time in August. YACHT CRUISES.— The Tana, schooner, 39 tons, Mr E. 8. May, has sailed from the Clyde for Belfast, whence she arrived a few days since. The Emerald, schooner, 82 tons, Mr J. Thompson, has arrived in the Clyde from Belfast.

CRICKETERS' REGISTER. SWIMMING. THE TWO MILE CHAMPION CUP.— The race between Henry Gardner of London and E. B. Mather of Manchester, for the two mile Champion Cup, presented by the London Swimming Club, and £ 50, came off on Monday, June 15, and attracted some thou- sands of spectators. The Venus had been chartered by the Lon- don Swimming Club, and the Victoria by Professor Beckwith; both these were very full. Many hundreds followed the race on the towing path, and besides these there were something like a hundred small boats out, which completely surrounded the men, and but for the vigilance of Inspector King, of the Thames Po- lice, who kept a small gap for the competitors to move in, it is extremely probable that some accident would have occurred. Mather had previously won the cup, and is a fine athletic young fellow, some two inches taller than his antagonist, and somewhat heavier; but Gardner having beaten him in baths was made the favourite at 7 to 4. Mr Westhall having been appointed referee, the men repaired to the barge they were to start from, which was moored opposite the Doves, at Chis- wick, whence they were to swim to the Aqueduct at Putney, a distance of two miles. They dived at a few minutes to five, Gardner being liveliest, but on emerging from the water Mather was found to be leading slightly, and both swimming on their sides. There was no material change till close to Hammer- smith Bridge, where Gardner took the lead, and nearly level they passed the bridge in exactly three minutes. They main- tained their relative positions till they reached the Distillery, where Mather rested by swimming on his breast, and then turning again on his left side, they went at it ding dong till beyond the Soap Works, where Gardner once more took the lead. After this the interest in the race never subsided. Mather apparently went away when he pleased, but Gardner, with the side stroke, which was most powerful in its effects, invariably overhauled him, but could not keep it on. At Bishop's Creek Mather ultimately went three or four lengths in front, and Gardner, despite his exertions, eould not collar bim. He was slightly put out near home by an unruly skiff, but Mather, after they were straight away, went away with a splendid burst, and won by about six lengths. Time, 33min. ____________ QUOITS— W. Royle of Salford and A. Wilde of Dukinfield are matched to play, for £ 10 a side, at the Royal Oak, Openshaw, near Manchester, on Julj 4. The articles state the distance is to be nine yards, eight- inch quoits, stiff sticking clay ends, and Mr Holden to be stakeholder and referee. The first deposit of £ 1 each has been paid, and £- 1 a side more is to be staked on June 22. BURDEN AND ROWLAND.— The first game of this home and home match came off on Monday, June 15, at the Elephant and Castle, Camden Town, and proved rather a hollow affair, Burden scoring 61 to Rewland's 32. The second game will take place at the Queen Victoria, Queen- street, Stepney, on Monday, June 22, at four o'clock. The scores of the two games to be added together. WALKINSHAW AND WHITTAKBB— For this match we have re- ceived a further sum of £ 10 a side, and a similar deposit is to be W. Hurlock of Hoxton will play Burden of Camden Town, for £ 5 a side, 18 yards, 61 up, and will be at the Queen Victoria, Stepney, on Monday evening, June 22, prepared to make a match.

Beech's bitch Gip level, or give Burslem's Fan two dead rabbits, for £ 20 aside. A deposit sent to 8. Holden, and articles to R. Rowley, White Hart, Tunstall, can ensure a match. WRESTLING,— Great wrestling sweepstakes, open to all Eng- land bar W. Schora, weight 5 score 181b. Ashton Hine of the Masons' Arms, Bolton- street, Bur3', will give £ 10 to be wrestled for at the above weight on Saturdays, July 4 and 11; entrance 5s each, which closes on Tuesday, June 23. Stamps as cash. Weigh at three, and commence wrestling at four o'clock. BLADE AND MENEAR.— The adjourned contest for the Duke of Cornwall Champion Challenge Cup and £ 20 will be resumed on Saturday, June 2d, at Hackney Wick, when, in order to bring off the match, the men will enter the ring at two o'clock. It is ex- pected the men will increase the stakes to £ 40 on the ground, and the contest, from its close character on the first occasion, excites much interest among the admirers and patrons of the Cornwall and Devon wrestling. KNUR AND SPELL.— B. Bretherick of Bramley will play J. Home of Morley level, 30 rises each, for £ 25 a side, at the Car- digan Arms, Leeds ; or he will play any of the following at the same place and for the same amount, viz, he will take 20 score of J.

FIFTEEN OF THE M. C. C. AND GROUND v UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN. JUNE 15, 16, AND 17.— Lord's Ground was the spot appointed for this match. It is pretty well known that the Surrey players comprise the greater part of the strength of the United, and how the managers of the latter could conclude an engagement with the manager or managers of the M. C. C., well knowing that Surrey had to play at Cambridge against Cambridgeshire on the same day, it is difficult to say. The county match, at Cambridge, how- ever, did not come off, but the Surrey Eleven, being all engaged for those days, the committee felt themselves bound to find them employment, and they consequently challenged Fourteen of Hamp- shire, which was very readily accepted. The United, therefore, went up to Lord's with a weak team. The wickets were got into good order, and, under the captaincy of Mr W. Nicholson, the Four- teen ( eleven would have been quite sufficient) were sent to the wickets, to the bowling of Grundy and Reynolds, who bowled throughout— the supposition being that they had no other worth trying. The M. C. C., which comprised first- class gentlemen players, maintained their ground until a quarter to five o'clock, during which time they made an innings of 167, Bignall, the young and promising Notts colt, carrying off the leger, composed of two fours ( drive and a leg- hit from each bowler), two threes, three twos, and singles. Mr R. D. Walker played his usual steady and safe game, and came next in number to Bignall, his figures being a four, six twos, & c. The batting, altogether, was good, but the bowlers were too much taxed, and should have had a change. The " extras" of 21, for an England Eleven, does not look much like talent. The United, on Monday, lost six wickets for 52 runs, of which C. Daft made a good 20, composed of drives for a five and a four, & c; Grundy ( run out) getting the leger, and his runs were principally from Mr Walker, viz, drives for a four and a three, leg- hits for two threes, & c. Wisden brought out his bat, playingone of his " old form" innings for 26, made up by a four ( good cut), a three ( leg- hit), seven twos, & c. The innings terminated at ten minutes to two o'clock on Tuesday, for 92, thereby saving following their innings by 5 runs. Both Mr Walker and Wootton bowled well, as did also Mr Hope- Grant during the eight overs he was on. In the second innings of M. C. C. Grundy and Reynolds bowled admirably, and got the Fourteen disposed of for 90, which may be considered excellent work. Mr Nicholson, who, as usual, went in first, Eaw two good wickets fall, and contributed 14 by a four ( drive from Reynolds), four twos. & c. The Hon. C. G. Lyt- telton also managed the same number by a four ( cut from Grundy), two threes ( drive and a cut), & c. Mr Charles showed some Rugby play in making a four ( square leg from Grundy) two threes ( to the leg), & c. The innings was finished at ten minutes to one on Wednesday, putting the Eleven in for 166 to get to win. Carpenter went in second and brought his bat out, making three threes, a two, & c. In one hour only twelve runs were got. Grundy made a stand for a four, a three, a two, & c. The others could not stop against the good bowling, and thus the United were bsaten by llti runs. Score: M.

Arrangements were made to play twelve a side, and it will be seen that the M. C. C. had to put up with a tidy thrashing, viz, in one innings and 20 runs ! The fast bowl- ing of Oxford proved destructive, although the wickets were good. Mr Garnier played a fine innings, but others on the M. C. C. side obtained " specs," causing fitz of laughter.

JUNE 15, 16, AND 17.— This match was played at Brighton, and it will be seen that Wilts were easily beaten, the Sussex gen- tlemen getting no less than 449 runs. Wilts, however, was de- prived of the services of five of their best men. We hope that in the return match, at Salisbury, on July 20 and following days, Mr Wells will meet with more success in bringing forward the best eleven in the county. The wickets were splendid, in fact, Sir Frederick Bathurst pronounced them too good. Score: WILTS. lst inn 2d in11 J. J.

The result of course is not very satisfactory to Sussex, but we may add thej' were exceedingly unlucky with regard to the weather, though every care had been bestowed on the ground. Surrey were the favourites at 6 to 4, and even 2 to 1 was offered as soon as it was known that Mr Miller had won the toss. Mortlock and Tom Humphrey were sent in by the captain, and 13 runs having been made the latter was caught at long- slip from young Lill. i - white, who started the bowling with Stubberfield. Griffith, the second wicket, went for 20 runs, caught mid- wicket. Caffyn made a good stand with Mortlock, and they exhibited a masterly dis- play of cricket; in fact, we have seen no one in such good form as Mortlock is this year; his style of play is perfect, and every run was really well got. Caffyn was about " well at home" when mid- wicket got in his way— they together having increased the score to 70 ; his innings of 29 comprised a four, ( drive from Lilly), four threes, two twos, & c. Lockyer came and scored four singles, and drove theball back— thus four wickets fell for 88 runs. Mr Fred. Burbidge then joined Mortlock, and these two brought Smith on at Stubberfield's end, who, in his third over, gave Mr Burbidge " a ripper," and the timber was consequently disturbed; five wickets down for 114 runs. Mr Dowson then took his place, and never could a visitor at the Oval have been more gratified than on this occasion. Good ground, good bowling, good fielding, and magnificent batting. Mortlock, after playing one of the most masterly innings, was caught at short leg. He was loudly applauded as he left the wicket; his figures were a six ( drive from Stubberfield), three fours ( two drives and a leg hit), six threes, fourteen twos, and singles, which amounted to the good total of 106; sum total, six down for 204. Ceesar joined Mr Dowson, and they, too, became troublesome ; certainly the bowlers and the field had had a stiffish time of it, and several changes were made, but Sussex was " wanting," and so also was Wisden, who would have been highly useful at this period, and his refusing to support his county is deserving of blame. Young Lilly was again tried, and got Csesar caught at cover- slip, he having contributed an innings of 25 by three threes, two twos, and singles; thus seven wickets fell for 250 runs. The eighth ( Stephenson's) was caught at point, the total then being'_ 274. Mr Dowson was cleverly thrown out by Fillery, he playing as fine an innings as could possibly be seen ; it comprised five fours ( three drives, a cut, and a leg hit), five threes, thirteen twos, and singles. Mr Dowson was loudly applauded, and was presented with a bat by Mr Miller, who, after making drives from Fillery for a four and a two, was bowled by him, the innings amounting to 304, and terminating shortly before seven o'clock. No time was cut to waste before Mr Hale and Fillery represented their county at the wickets, to the bowling of Caffyn and Griffith. They commenced scoring rapidly, until Mr Hale's career was stopped by being caught at mid- wicket; his figures were a four ( drive from Grif- fith), two threes, a two, and singles ; one wicket down for 34 runs. Wells, with his substitute, managed to run out; he was lame, but notwithstanding made an attempt to run, leaving his substitute behind. The second wicket ( Fillery's) fell on Friday morning for 45 runs, and the third ( Wells's) for 48. The fourth ( Ellis's) with Mr Smith ( a first- rate gentleman colt) was not got rid of until 91 liad been scored, when he was caught at point, scoringthe " leger'' by a three ( drive from Miller), four twos, and singles. Mr Smith was then caught at the wicket, making an excellent innings of 19. Mr Raynes was thrown out by Bewell; six wickets down for 102 runs. Mr Hodson went the seventh; he and John Lilly white brought Mortlock's slows on at Bewell's end, and having added 13 to his previous 10, he was caught at short leg, where he appears to attempt to play almost every ball; in fact, we never saw a field placed in such a manner before, all being on the " on " side but a mid- wicket off. Mr Hodson's figures were a four ( leg hit from Miller), a three ( leg hit from Mortlock), three twos, & c; seven wickets for 133. The eighth ( Southerton's) went for 135, bowled by the slows. Stubberfleld joined John Lillywhite, and set himself to work in earnest, but Lilly was splendidly caught at long square leg, after playing a careful innings of 13, composed of a four ( drive from Miller), a two, and singles; nice wickets down for 149 runs. Young Lilly, the last man, joined Stubberfield, but the latter, jumping in at the slows, found that Lockyer was be- hind, and thus the innings terminated at 3: 55 on Saturday for 161, which caused them to follow their innings; this was done quickly, and in good sound earnest., too, evidently with the inten- tion of " saving the game, if possible. Mr Miller and Mortlock star ted, and" lots of loose- uns" were left untouched, in order that no chance should be given; this caused the game to proceed slowly, Mr Miller secured Mr Hale the second ball off the batsman's leg. Wells ( who ran himself this time, and lost a great many runs) and John Lillywhite ran the score to 37. During this cautious play several changes were made in the bowling, and all the ticers" imaginable given to make the batsmen hit., but to no effect; at last Sewell bowled Lilly with an easy ball in his first over. Wells immediately followed— total same; his figures were a three, and the rest all singles. Ellis was bowled the first ball ; total, consequently, the same. Rain here stopped the game, and after it was resumed Mr Smith was immediately bowled by the slows ; five for 42 runs, and any odds on Surrey. The sixth ( Mr Raynes's) went for a total of 57 ; he played well for 13, 11 of which he got under difficulties. Nothing further of note trans- pired, and the match was brought to a conclusion at 6: 50 on the Baturday evening. The return match will be played at Brighton, July 13, when we trust the old county of Sussex will show up better on the occasion. Score: SURREY. J. Caesar, c Stubberfleld, b Jas. Lilly white 25 H. H.

The hon sec of the Surrey Club had originally, in his fixtures, appointed to meet Cambridgeshire at Cambridge, but, owing to the want of funds on the part of Cambridge, and other circumstances, the match was abandoned; therefore, the Surrey Eleven ( who had been engaged for those days) were imme- diately secured to play against Fourteen of Hants, a match which, we can safely add, will never be regretted. The notice was very short for the Hampshire gentlemen to get their team to- gether, but the challenge from Surrey was immediately accepted, and drew together an excellent company. The Hants gentle- men avowed that they had never played a more pleasant match, and we trust that Surrey will be enabled to give them a return at Southampton. We regret that we have not space to go into such details as the play deserved but must ask our readers to be content with a few general remarks. On the part of Surrey Tom Humphrey played a fine cricketing innings; he gave one slight chance— not observable by the public generally— at the wicket. It must be gratifying to the County of Surrey to know that they have such a " coming man.'' Ca; sar, too, was in rare form, not- withstanding that the bowling of Mr Frere was really first rate; he bowled nine maiden overs in succession, and the first ball in the next got a wicket. His maiden overs were then stopped by Mr Dowson ( who came next) making a lucky single off his gloves. Mr F. P. Miller also bowled nine successive maiden overs, for one wicket, and, considering there were fourteen against him in the field, his performance is the best; this, how- ever, may be taken as a matter of opinion, for when an Eleven plays Fourteen they are supposed to be upon an equality. Good cricket was exhibited all round, and it will be seen the Surrey Eleven won by 158. Surrey brought on no less than 10 bowlers in their second innings. Score: SURREY. lst Inn 2d inn W.

This match came off at the Trent Bridge Ground, Nottingham, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, June 11, 12, and 13; but owing to frequent showers the play was so often delayed that the game terminated in a draw. Notwithstanding the deadness of the ground some excellent play was displayed on both sides ; and on drawing the stumps on Saturday evening a bat, with talent money, was presented to R. Daft; a ball, with ditto, to Wootton ; balls to Willsher and Fryer, and talent money to Brampton, for great prowess exhibited by them. The game excited considerable at- traction, and had the weather been more congenial the assemblage would have been immense. Score: NOTTINGHAMSHIRE. lst inn 2d inn C.

The bowling and fielding of the Twenty were so good that the Eleven were unable to score half the number of their opponents' runs ; but in the second innings the Twenty failed to add sufficiently to their success, and were easily beaten. The bowling of M. Muir- Mackenzie, on the side of The Twenty, was both good and successful. On the other side Mr Boyle made him- self very useful at the wicket in Lockyer's capacity. Score: The Twenty 64 and 39, The Eleven 30 and 74 ( with one wicket down). ST THOMAS'S HOSPITAL v GUY'S HOSPITAL.

RICKLING GREEN v A TRINITY ELEVEN. June 10th, at Rickliug Green. Rain delayed the commence- ment of play until past one. The Trinity Eleven— which should have been under the care of G. T. Warner, but wasn't— were condemned to appear in the field, and some dissatisfaction was evinced at the strict enforcing of Law X.; but Mr Hoblyn, as an M. C. C. man, felt bound to see that the rigid code of that cricket- Areopagus should be adhered to, and for it we cannot but give him great credit. Large scores were consequent upon the most perfect of wickets, and the R. G. C. eventually won by 46 runs. Score: TRINITY ELEVEN. Dyne, c W.

CBICKET AT EASTBOUENE.— We are glad to find that again there is bright promise of good cricket at Eastbourne this year. The fine ground is in capital order, the services of Oscroft as pro- fessional bowler to the club have been secured, and already many matches of interest have been arranged. As will be seen by re- ference to our advertising columns gentlemen fond of cricket, and intending to visit the sea- side this summer, are invited to go down to this delightful watering place and join the club.

Lilly white's third volume is now before us, carrying us on for another eight years in the history of the game. The volume com- mences with the year 1841 and ends with 1848. The preceding volume ( Vol II.), chronicled the rise of round- arm bowling, and the present volume reoords the re- introduction of the slows, the travelling mission of the cricketers of England, and the rise of the Surrey Club at the Oval. These seem to be the most noticeable features in Lilly white's last production ( not that the third volume is not fully equal in interest to the second), as the cricketers whose deeds were recorded in Volume II. seem to have been evergreens, and a very large number of the great guns, such as Pilch, Old Lilly, Mynn, Hillier, Dean, Box, Guy, Wenman, and the like are still to be found figuring in the cricket scores, and, though per- haps some of them were getting a little stale, still they did their part towards keeping up the backbone of the game. This period between 1840 and 1849 was an extraordinary time for the rise of first- rate amateur players, though many flourished for a short time only, owing to the perverseness of fortune, which so frequently makes the younger sons who have no money good sportsmen; and the consequence is, that when the " reliev- ing officer" ( i. e. the governor) is tired of paying up for school and college the most promising cricketers have to lay aside their bat for the gown, the sword, or the counting- house. Amongst the wicket- keepers, perhaps, none were ever superior to Mr Nichol- son ( Harrow) and MrW. Ridding ( Winchester), who would stand undaunted to Mr Fellowes's bowling. Amongst the bowlers we find the names of Marcon, Yonge, Randolph, Hervey, Fellowes, E. H. Willes; and amongst the batsmen, W. de C. Baker, Emilius Bayley, A. Haygarth ( the " fatal block" and the kind and indefatigable compiler of Lilly white's work), V. C. Smith, the Biddings, brothers Banks, the first instalment of the brothers Walker, M'Niven, the Hon S. Ponsonby, J. M. Lee, Faber, Longe, cum mu'ltis aliis. The leading celebrities amongst the players who came most prominently forward included Tinley, G, Parr, T. Hunt, W. Jackson, Hinkly, Wisden, Jack Heath, and W. Clarke, whose " slows" were first thoroughly appreciated during the era of which Mr Lillywhite's last volume treats. Just as the game book of days gone by is the solace of the old gentleman whose gun is put by in the case, so is Lillywhite's book a pleasant record of matches which a very large bulk of the readers must have witnessed. We recommend the work to all cricketers, and out of kindness to Lillywhite's purse we ven- ture to add one more criticism. We well know that Lillywhite is anxious, if possible, to do too much rather than too little in his zeal to carry out his promise of giving a faithful record of the game, but we think that his country readers can hardly impose on him the Herculean labour of giving purely local matches in full detail; and as cricket grew like wild grass from the time of the All England Elevens' mission, we suggest that the dates and results of local matches only should be given, with short remarks when called for, and that local single wicket matches should be omitted. The last straw breaks the pony's back, and Lillywhite should not try to carry too muck weight. In conclusion, we ex- press our earnest hope that every cricket club in England should subscribe for the work, and give their help to a person who has worked so hard for the public. YEOVIL V SHEPTONMALLET.— This match was played at Yeovil, June 4, and being a one day match, was decided in favour of Shepton Mallet on the first innings, time not permitting it to be finished.

[ CONTINUED IN THE NEXT PAGE. ] 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JUNE 21, 1863. RACING IN FW*" ™ i VUi FONTAINEBLEALI B& CES.- A ^ UNT SCENE, ( FKOM OUK OWN CORRESPONDENT.) In our report of this meeting year we ventured to remark that with regard to its generrtl features there was everything to warrant its future progression, and that as it was essentially con- nected with the French Court it might be with as much reason termed Imperial Fontainebleau as for Ascot to be associated with the title of royal. It is, therefore, with much pleasure that we turn to a subject that has in every respect more than realised our anticipations, for, from the moment we looked over the programme that had been prepared by the Jockey Club we could see that the tone of our remarks were exactly in accordance with the views of that great society, and that there evidently existed a determination to rank Fontainebleau at once amongst the most important reunions of the country. For in the first place a sheet list of sport was provided for twe days instead of one, and the grand total of 31,000f was placed at the disposal of the com- mittee for given money, besides which there was a Fontainebleau Cup added, and also a second cup of less value. 1 he pro- gramme, however, differed from an Ascot one in one re- spect, viz, in admitting steeple chases into its columns, but the French are now so marvellously fond of this species of diversion that no meeting is considered complete without one; and although it cannot be found convenient to have a cross country contest over the Pelouse at Chantilly, or at Longchainps, we see that, for the latter place, the authorities have provided a supple- ment of this description at Vincennes. On our departure for Fontainebleau we became informed by the railway bills that a third day's entertainment was also provided for, in the shape of a royal hunt in the forest, to come off in the interval between the two days' racing, so that we were quite impressed with the im- portance of our mission as connected with the old motto of this paper, " Nunquam dormio." Our best hopes, however, seemed likely to be frustrated by the weather, for it rained continually during our journey, and on our arrival at the course it came down a perfect deluge, which at first prevented our seeing the naany improvements that have been effected since last year, though the welcome shelter of the new Stands brought these erec- tions under our notice, and certainly we have never seen anything finished neater than they are. They are not of such solid con- struction however as some we have seen, and, although there is every convenience attached with regard to offices, & c, our only fear is that, as the meeting advances in importance, the whole may be found inadequate in size for the several occasions. Great care, however, has been taken in the construction of the Imperial Pavilion, so as to give accommodation to a very large court, and as the sun just peered through the clouds for a brief space during the afternoon we were enabled to take a view also of the enclosure and course, the first of which is very large, and, being backed by a small wood, that slopes away from quite a little precipice of rocks, a very picturesque aspect is given to it. There is a magnificent slope, too, in front of the Stands, which has been raised to a considerable level above the running ground, and as soon as this lawn becomes covered with grass, of which there is not a vestige at present, we can imagine that this enclosure will be one of the most beautiful in France. The course has been greatly extended since last year, and is now nearly a mile and three quarters round, with a splendid straight run in of five furlongs. The ground, however, has not been much im- proved, and part of it is still very false, to rectify which we should recommend that as much heavy mould as can be obtained should now be thrown over it, and the whole thickly sown with seeds, which would contribute to bind it into more solid going. The steeple chase ground is en- tirely an artificial one, and runs parallel on the outside of the fiat course; but the fences have not been very judiciously constructed, fer in some cases they are too awkward and dangerous, and others are so ridiculously small as not to be worthy of being called fences. Just before the first race the cortige of the Prince Im- perial drove up, consisting of a carriage and four, preceded by an equerry and outriders, his youthful royal highness being accom- panied by one of the gentlemen of the household and a little boy about the prince's age, the son of the Emperor's physician, as we were told, who has the honour of being aide- de- camp and special favourite of the Heir Apparent of Frauce. About five miniftes* after this arrival the Emperor's cortege drove up, consist- ing of three charabancs, of which the first was drawn by six horses — fine Norman bays— harnessed according to the fashion of the old rigime, and ridden by postboys in corresponding cos- tumes. The Emperor and Empress sat in the front seat of the carriage, and were accompanied by the most distinguished of their guests, including the Princess Metternich and the Princess Murat, besides several others, whose names will be found in a list at the bottom of our report, and the other carriages, which were drawn by four horses, also contained several distinguished guests besides the ladies and gentlemen of the household. Unfortunately torrents of rain fell whilst this imposing cortege was trotting up at a good pace to the gates of the enclosure, the whole carriages being covered by quite a forest of umbrellas, and on arriving at the steps of the Pavilion the court hurried very quickly beneath its shelter, but presented a brilliant company at the balcony a few moments afterwards, and both the Emperor and Empress seemed in as high spirits as any of the party. The racing commenced with the Prix du Conseil General, which brought nine to the post, and the talent selected Sarcelle as the favourite, but like all the good things that were subsequently thought of during the meeting this was upset by an outsider in Bilboquet, who represented M Delamarre's interest in the Derby. The next race was for gentlemen riders, and here two tremendous pots were turned over on Rigoletto and Tamber- lick, who were both supported very freely by their parties, but how 011 earth either could have been thought of to beat Panique we cannot understand, for previous running has placed them quite in different classes. For the Prix de la Society six came to- gether, and Charles Martel, on the strength of his Versailles per- formance with Dollar, was made a decided favourite at 2 to 1, although several who have taken the Derby running as the best guide with regard to the French three year olds, fancied Fli- bustier, by reason that he ran before Charles at Chantilly, and the calculation was not far out, for although the favourite did reverse the running, it was only just done by a head. A Steeple Chase for a cup, given by the Empress, brought the afternoon's sport to a close, and this was won very easily by the favourite, Snipe, ridden by Mr Jonas, who was sent for after the race, and requested to attend the Imperial Stand, where he was presented to the Emperor, who warmly congratulated him upon his success, and spoke with such kindness and cordiality, as quite to win the esteem of our countryman, who was of course much gratified at such an honour being conferred on him. These are the kind of acts that make the Emperor so particularly popular, amongst racing circles especially, and as the Prince of Wales is also so very cordial and courteous to our Turfites in England, we feel quite sure that the Turf of both countries will assume a much higher tone than hitherto. Saturday morning dawned under auspices almost as unpropi- tious for hunting as the previous day had been for racing, but finding that the hounds would meet under any circumstances, we determined to see what we could of them at any rate; so, after discovering that it was impossible to get a hack, we managed with some difficulty to obtain a carriage, for, as may be supposed, the town was full of visitors, and the hunt was an attraction to all. The Crois de Tolouse was the fixture, or rendezvous, as they term it in France, the distance from the town being about two miles, and by twelve o'clock a great many had arrived, but principally in carriages or walking. The hounds, numbering altogether about five and thirty couples, were there, under the charge of the running picguers, all coupled up in ropes as is the abominable custom in France. Presently the horses for the huntsman and whips arrived, ridden or led by pad grooms, dressed only in plain green frock- coats, breeches, and gaiters; the horses, numbering about fifteen, being about as useful a looking lot of hunters as a man could wish to see. Shortly after the arrival of these, however, a much grander cavalcade arrived, in- cluding about twenty hunters for the Imperial party, and cer- tainly nothing could exceed the perfect neatness of this troop, all ridden by smart looking grooms, dressed in green and gold live- ries, with top boots and breeches, and we need hardly say that the horses were as near perfection as any one could find in Europe, when the price that is given for most of them averages above 500 guineas apiece. These were brought out to- day for the Empe- ror's guests to ride, the favourite chesnut, Buckenham, being out for his Imperial Majesty, as was also Hamilton, a recent purchase; and during the day this good- looking brown was ridden by Gamble, the Emperor's English factotum, who has the entire management of this magnificent stud, and we think a stranger would hardly think it was natural that the Emperor's turn out could be so perfect unless under the superintendence of an Eng- lishman. Shortly after one o'clock the royal equipages arrived, the first carriage conveying the Empress, but the spectators were greatly disappointed that Her Majesty was not in a habit, and we were told that the weather had determined the beautiful Amazon not to appear in a character that becomes her so well, and for this reason the other ladies, the Princess Metternich and the Duchess de Persigny, for whom horses were led to the meet, decided also not to ride; so the cortege hardly halted at the rendezvous, but immediately proceeded to the spot where the tuf ters were to rouse the deer, and a few moments after their departure the Emperor himself drove up in a pha; ton, drawn by a pair of clever looking little bay horses, and attended only by a single equerry and out- riders. Of the real hunt we have little to describe, for, as may be supposed at this time- of the year, the scent was very bad, and the hounds could not settle down to it at all; the rain also coming down at intervals in torrents, which between two and three o'clock obliged the court to return home, and the Emperor did not mount his horse during the day. Many of the chasseurs continued with the hounds, however, and the deer was eventually brought to bay in a small lake, and killed. We could write volumes on the magnificent scenery that one sees during a drive through the forest of Fontainebleau, but must not intrude it into our valuable space here so must pass on to one more hunting scene, that we witnessed during the evening at the castle, namely, the Curee, which we discovered might be seen by the public at half- past nine, so at that hour we walked towards the eastern entrance of the chateau, at the gates of which we found a tremendous crowd waiting for them to be opened, which was no sooner done than a general rush was made for the inner court, of he chateau, where this pageant scene was to be performed. Up- wards of 50 torch- bearers stood round the centre of this ftmoease « ourt, forming a long lane, at the bottom of which the hounds were brought in, and the deer that had been killed was wrapped in his skin, and placed at the further end, the hounds being permitted to run up and bay at it, but not to touch it until the signal is given by a blast of horns, when all are allowed to go in and break it up. The whole court coming out from dinner, watched the proceeding from a balcony above, and the scene was a very singular one, amidst the bay of the hounds, and the horns playing the " Mort," which rung with almost mournful effect with echoes through the magnificent pile of buildings. On Sunday morning we were treated with an inspection through the Emperor's stables and kennels, but space obliges us to post- pone our remarks on them for another occasion, and we must, therefore, once more return to the racing, which was favoured by a very fine day on Sunday, and the Emperor and Empress and their distinguished court again witnessed the sport, which commenced with the Prix de l'Empereur, and after a good run race amongst eight it was won easily by M Lupin's Leonidas Six then came out for the Cup, and Charles Martel was made the favourite, although Princet was faneied nearly as much, and the race quite resulted in a match between them, and Charles Martel won by a neck, greatly to the gratifica- tion of his owner, who was so anxious for the honour of winning this cup that he did not wish to run Charles on the first day, as by winning he incurred 61b more to carry, but hie trainer wisely suggested that he could give them all that in, and this calculation proved correct. M Shickler was subsequently summoned , to the Imperial Stand, where the Emperor graciously ^ presented him with the cup. The third race, over half t- a mile, was remarkable for bringing out? the quondam Vc « aek Partisan once more, and atlhough he has grown into as pretty a horse as we have ever seen, his condition did not . give one the idea of his having had a very great prepara- t ioa, and so they laid 5 to 1 against him, quite on the spec that h e would break down or fail to get the distance, aed this idea pi X3& ed correct, for when winning in a canter he both teroke down an d teroke a blood vessel, to the great annoyance of the Duke de Mt * ® J> who looked unutterable things at the ugly exhibition his hor represented before the Emperor'sfitand. Ei tt the Handicap the betting was almost confined between two horsi w. Dollar and Choisy le Eoy, each being supported by their parti.. with great confidence, and but for the turn up of the greatest ( Outsider in the race Mons Sehickler's division would have h" sea again light, for their representative ran a very game horse, a ud finished a good second. As it- was, however, the book- makers ijiuite " skinned the lamb," for Tambour Battant was not backed for a shilling even by his own party. He was purchased by Baron d'Aui- iol at the Confederacy sale for 5, OOOf, and the baron was subsequently laughed. at for his bargain, for his appear- ance did not denote him a race horse, and it was well known that & e had been tried to be a bad one. A Steeple Chase again brought the sport to a conclusion, and this x'as won by Sampson, whieh terminated most successfully for the second year the Imperial meeting of Fontainebleau. The following distinguished visitors were guestf at the Chateau of Fontainebleau during the races :— The Princess Anna Murat, the Prince and Princess Metternich, the Prince fie Reuse, the Prince and Princess Poniatowski, the Duke and Duchess de Valency, the Count and Countess Walewskt, Marquis and Marquise de Bedrnas, & c.

Roquille was the first to show in advance, closely followed by Ganymede, Paratonnerre, Lucette, Magny, and Roland in the order named, whilst Sarcelle and Bilboquet lay off just clear of the ruck, and then, at an interval of several lengths, followed Cassiop< 5e, bringing up the rear. After rounding the turn into the straight, on the far side of the course, Magny went through his horses, and took the lead, and Roquille gradually fell back to the rear, as did also Lucette; but Paratonnerre and Ganymede both maintained a front rank all the way down to the last turn, where Magny was in trouble, and Bilboquet and Sarcelle here crept up to the leading division, though the latter was beaten as soon as they came into the straight. Bilboquet then waited on Paratonnerre to the dis- tance, when he raced with him for the lead, and having the best of it in the run home, won very cleverly by half a length ; Gany- mede finished third, a length from second, and at a similar inter- val followed Magny, who had an advantage of several lengths over the favourite, who was fifth, followed by CassiopSe sixth, Roland seventh, Roquille eighth, and Lucette was last. The winner was bought in for 8,360f.

After several minutes' delay at the post, owing to the favourite being rather fractious, the lot got away on tolerably even terms, Eigo- letto having the lead, waited upon by Egmont, with Panique lying third, closely followed by Chino, Audacieuse, and Infante. Both Tamberlick and Revoke lay off several lengths in the rear to the last turn, where Rigoletto fell back beaten, and Tam- berlick drew up with a rush, and in the straight Egmont gave him his place. At the distance it was quite apparent that Panique had the former quite safe, upon which M du Bourg set Egmont going once more, though he never could reach the mare, who won without being called upon by half a length ; a length separating M Delamarre's two; Infante was a bad fourth, Audacieuse fifth, Chino sixth, and Rigoletto and Revoke were beaten two hundred yards.

On the dropping of the flag Nova jumped off in front, followed by her stable companion Flibustier, Fleur de Mai, Goliath, and Frontignan in the order named, and these positions underwent no alteration whilst they rounded the two first turns and ran down the straight on the far side. Nova, however increased her lead at every stride, and placed such an in- terval between herself and horses that, as they neared the bottom of the course, loud cries from the Stands proclaimed that they would never catch her; but she gave way between the two turns, and Goliath now coming to the front looked for a moment dange- rous, though he was beaten as they came into the straight. It then became quite apparent that the race was reduced to a match between the favourite and Flibustier, Charles Martel having just a shade the best of it to the distance, when he seemed momen- tarily to drop, and get out of his stride, giving the other an advantage of about a neck, which he maintained to the Stands, when he tired, and Charles reaching him with a game effort, just defeated him, rather cleverly at last, by a head; an interval of at least a dozen lengths separating the pair from Fleur de Mai, who was third ( not placed) ; Goliath was fourth, Frontignan fifth, and Nova last.

Snipe went off in front, followed by the grey, who seemed to be quite crushed under the weight, and, contrary to his usual practice, did not pull an ounce; both horses, however, cleared the first hurdles well, and the big bank, which is the second fence, and at this Etincelle, overjumping it, dropped her hind legs into the ditch, and in scrambling up, fell over the top of the bank, and ricked herself so badly as to lay there several minutes as if her back was broken. Meantime the others went on all right to the brook at the bottom of the course, into which Auricula fell and got rid of his jockey, and Museum, keeping so far in the rear as to be quite out of the race, left it entirely to Snipe, who cantered in by himself.

Distinguo made the running, with Rigolo and Trustiness next in attendance, Leonidas lying off until they had come round the last turn into the straight, when Kitchener brought him up gradually, and heading the favourite a hundred yards from home, won easily by half a length; four lengths between second and third; Arcole was a bad fourth, Majeste fifth, and Bochet sixth. The winner was claimed by the Duke de Caderousse- Gramont for 2,950f. Octave was brought to Fontainebleau for this stake, but on Saturday he ran away with his lad at exercise and staked himself, besides injuring the lad severely.

Princet made the running, followed by Victot Pontfol, Charles Martel, Ganymede, Solferino, and Alerte in the order named, and these positions were maintained for nearly a mile and a half, when Alerte, who had been lying off quite to herself, began to creep up, and Solferino, who was now pulling hard, also improved his position; whilst at the bottom turn Mor- timer took a pull on the favourite, and drew him right back to the rear. As they came into the straight, Princet still maintained a clear lead, and evidently with plenty left in him, looked all over the winner, but in a few strides further the black one was seen drawing up again, and catching Princet below the distance— at which point th « other four were beaten off— a good race home en- sued between the two, neither having much advantage until with- in fifty yards from home, when Charles Martel got his head in front, and finishing very game, won cleverly by a neck; four lengths between the second and third; Solferino was a very bad fourth.

After several false starts, which were chiefly caused by Audacieuse, they got off in very straggling order, Partisan getting a lead of three lengths, with Goliath lying second, Bilboquet third, and then the favourite, who got a bad start, this order being main- tained to the distance, when Bilboquet drew up to Partisan with a rush, and the latter, breaking down and breaking a blood vessel directly he was called upon opposite the Stands, shut up sud- denly, and Bilboquet won by half a length ; two lengths sepa- rating the quondam crack from Goliath; the favourite was a bad fourth.

The lot were des- patched at the first attempt to a beautiful start, nothing showing very prominently in front until passing the Stands, when Belle Dupr6 headed the division, leading three lengths round the first turn, where her nearest attendants were Hadji Stavros, Action de Lens, Tambour Battant, Choisy le Roi, Lucida, and Arc en Ceil, in the order named; the others close up, the favourite being amongst those that brought up the rear. Between the two first turns Lucida took second place next to M Fasquel's mare, who continued the lead all down the straight on the far side, having an advantage of several lengths over Lucida, who was beaten before they reached the bottom, as was also Hadji Stavros ; but Choisy le Roi, Tambour Battant, Arc en Ceil, and Dollar— who had gradually crept up— were the four that were most conspicuously in front as they came to the last turn. Here Belle Duprfi fell back beaten, and as the lot swept round into the straight it looked any odds on Choisy, for Mortimer was sitting quite still upon him, lying nearest the rails, whilst Kitchener had already • to move on Dollar, and Tambour Battant was receiving continual stripes of the whip, which, however, he kept answering to, and reaching Mons Schickler's horse inside the distance, took the lead immediately, and notwithstanding the ganaest efforts on the part of both the favourites, won very easily by a length ; a good race between Choisy and Dollar resulting in favour of the former by half a length, Arc ea Ciel was an indiflerent fourth, Jona- thas, clese up with him, was fifth, and then at an interval of several lengths came Heuriys and Noelie, heading the beaten division, of which the last three were Lucida, Cassiop^ e, and ( Charlemagne.

Contrary Ac . the general rule in France, the competitors , w, ete alloyed to iump the hurdles before the stands in their preliminary canters, and all flew them in good style excepting Duballow, who refused several times before he could be got to face them, and consequently the speculators offered to lay long odds against him. On their being got off, however, which was effected by a very good start, everything took this first fence, and \ 0t raced in close com- pany to the big bank, Jasmin, ' oolting just before he came to it. But the leading four, which comprised the grey, Museum, Samp- son, and Gisors, took it all right, and were followed by Lam- plugh's two and Duhallow, though the next at it, Campeador, came to grief, and, curiously enough, ricked himself in exactly the same manner as his stable companion Etincelle did on the previous Friday, and Royal Topaze also came down here a regular crasher into the ditch on the off side. There was no other in- cident to note until coming to the sixth fence, a bullfinch, at which Duhallow refused, and his example was immediately fol- lowed by both Tippler and Page, which left the race to Sampson, Museum, Gisors, and the grey, who did not seem able to act much better than he did on the Friday, so that it was really confined to the first three, and these ran a very pretty race throughout, Mu- seum maintaining a clear lead until over the brook for the second time, when Sampson headed him, and staying much the longer in the run home, won cleverly by a length; Gisors finishing a bad third, and the grey a worse fourth.

Several yachts comprising the Eugenia, the Zephyr, the Vixen, & c, left their moorings at the early hour of eight am., and went down the River Witham. The Lioness steamer accompanied them. Several new members joined the club at a meeting held on Tuesday evening, under the presidency of Mr H. J. Fawcett. The regatta for the year is fixed for Monday, July 20, when a handsome silver cup, given by Mr J. W. Malcolm, M. P., will be com- peted for. LYNN REGATTA.— Arrangements are being made for holding the regatta this year, and it ig proposed that instead of there being two regattas there should be one of a superior kind, and it is hoped that a first- class regatta will take place this year, worthy of the patronage which it is expected to receive of his Royal High- ness the Prince of Wales. It is held on a splendid piece of water, a portion of the river Ouse, called the Eau Brink Cut, which is from two and a half to three miles in length, a straight course, and eight hundred feet in width at the lower end. On each side are extensive flats, the turfy sides of which may be trod ( and usually are) by many thousands, all of whom can see the whole of the races. It is hoped that this year's regatta will be held with an increase of prestige. Some of our first- class boat men would not do ill if they were to pay a visit to the metropolis of the western division of the royal county of Norfolk. YABMOUTH REGATTA.— The day fixed for the holding of this regatta is July 28, and as an evidence of the public spirit by which it is being promoted, it may be remarked that above £ 100 has already been subscribed. A number of first- class yachts will contend. SHEPPEBTON AND HALLIFORD ANNUAL REGATTA.— This regatta will take place on Saturday, August 8, instead of August 1, as previously announced.

JUNE 18.— This match was commenced at the Oval on Thurs- day, and terminated yesterday ( Saturday), when the County were beaten in one innings by 95 runs. It was mainly owing to the very fine fielding of Cambridge, who did not miss a chance, and several splendid catches were made in the long- field. The bowling was also good. The betting on Oxford and Cambridge, at Lord's, on Monday, is now even. Score: SURREY. 1st inn 2d inn W. Mortlock, c Dent ( for Dyne), bGrant 6 c Plowden, b Collins .... 15 T.

MONDAY— PROTECTION OF BRITISH MERCHANT MEN.— Lord CLANBICABDE, in moving for copies of any reports that may have been received from our admiral on the North Ame- rican and West Indian station, concerning the protection from seizure or visitation afforded to British merchantmen, asked what had been the result of the remonstrances made to the United States Government by Her Majesty's Minister at Washington against the seizure of certain vessels.— Earl RUSSELL would not pronounce an opinien on the case of the Adela, but suggested rea- sons which might have justified her seizure. In regard to the blockading a line of coast, he showed that this country had for- merly proclaimed a blockade of 2,000 miles of American coast, and thought it would hardly be becoming or wise for England to protest against a course she had herself formerly adopted, and which, in the case of a war with the United States she would probably adopt again. In conclusion, he ex- issed his intention, as Foreign Minister, of being guided, hot by a wish to avenge fancied affronts, but to uphold the honour of the country by adhering to justice.— The Duke of SOMERSET read a letter to show the great cordiality which ex- isted between the officers of the United States' navy and that of Great Britain on the West Indian station; and the invariable courtesy which CommodoreWilkes had exercised towards British officers.— The subject then dropped. SERGEANT- MAJOR LILLEY.— In answer to a question from Lord Shaftesbury, the Duke of CAMBRIDGE said it was probably not known to their lordships that the conduct of discipline in the Indian army rested with the Commander- in- Chief in India, and that he ( the Duke of Cambridge) only stood in the position of referee, or a last appeal. He, however, had felt it his duty to take notice of the proceedings in Sergeant- Major Lilley's case when officially brought to his knowledge, as they were most sin- gular, and he felt bound to review them. When his memoran- dum animadverting on Colonel Crawley was drawn up he was not in possession of sufficient information to justify him in doing more than expressing a very strong opinion on the case. He did not then know of the illegal imprisonment of Sergeant- Major Lilley and other circumstances, which had since led him to order a court- martial. He had acted not from a desire to screen any one, but to do justice to all, especially to those implicated. He spurned the idea of any pressure having been put upon himself in reference to this matter.— Lord SHAFTESBURY expressed a hope that the court martial would be held not in India but in England FRIDAY— THE ATROCITIES IN POLAND.- Lord STRAT- FORD DE REDCLIFFE called attention to the reports which had re- cently been published with regard to the atrocities perpetrated by the Russian authorities in Poland.— Earl RUSSELL said that on Wednesday last despatches were sent from London, Paris, and Vienna to St Petersburg, and when replies to them arrived he would lay them before the house. c Balfour, b Plowden..., b Collins c Fowler, b Plowden W.

This match was played on June 15, 16, and 17, and proved an easy victory for the Twenty- two, who, it will be seen, were repre- sented by nearly all the professsional talent of Yorkshire. The Eleven had decidedly the worst of the wickets. On the second day only one hour's play took place. Parr and Hay ward were the good performers on the Eleven's first innings; both stayed a very long time. In their second innings Tarrant played a fine in- nings, and Hayward made some grand hits. George Parr, also, never hit better, considering the state of the wickets. Mr Paget played very nicely for his 8. Of the Twenty- two Stephenson, in his usual style, scored 46, J. Thewlis a good 23, and Joe Berry's 13 was a good one. The Twenty- two won in one innings and 5 runs to spare. Hodgson and Greenwood bowled throughout.

The proposal the Government had to make was to purchase 17 acres from the commissioners for £ 120.000, and to pay £ 80,000 for the building, making together £ 200,000. As the building was not erected by the contractors for the purposes for which it was now wanted, further expenses must be incurred, the total amount of which would be £ 284,000. This sum, added to £ 200,000, would make £ 484,000 for 17 acres of land, covered with a substantial building, to set off against £ 750,000. Some might say, he observed, that it would be better to buy the land only, and let the contractors remove the building, but the erection of a new building would create an additional expense of £ 40,000. The Government did not propose to remove the National Gallery at Trafalgar- square to Kensington, nor to send the learned bodies there. In conclusion, he expressed his belief that the propesal of the Government would be advantageous to the public; he observed that the plan admit- ted of future development, and that it combined economy with convenience. He moved the first vote of £ 67,000 towards the pur- chase of the land.— Mr GREGORY protested against the proposal. He objected to the removal of the collections to so great a dis- tance, and the drawing all our institutions into one fecus. He condemned the bargain in strong language, contending that the estimates of the Government were fallacious, and, upon the faith of counter estimates, that the supposed cheap bargain would in volve the country in enormous expense.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied, and upon division the vote was carried by 267 to 135. VOLUNTEERS' BILL.— On the order for the third reading of the Volunteers' Bill, Mr HENNESSY opposed the20th clause of the bill, authorising dismissal of a volunteer by the commanding offi- cer, and, with the view of striking the clause in question out of the bill and substituting another, he moved the re- committal of the bill.— A discussion of some length followed, and upon a divi- sion the motion was negatived by 138 to 31. It was then read a third time, and passed. TUESDAY.— THE BALLOT.— Mr H. BERKELEY moved for leave to bring in a bill to cause the votes of parliamentary electors to be taken by way of Ballot.— The LORD MAYOR observed that the arguments of Mr Berkeley were of such a nature that he thought it would be well that there should be a protest against them in that house. The result of the Ballot in America, which was a warning to this country, had, he believed, created a reaction in the public mind.— Lord PALMERSTON said he was unwilling that Mr Berkeley should go to a division under the belief that he had convinced him. He still considered that Mr Berkeley had placed the question upon a wrong foundation. In his argument he had forgotten those vital principles of the Con- stitution, public opinion and public responsibility, to the very spirit of which the Ballot was in direct contradiction. If a voter was divested of responsibility, one of the vital principles of the Constitution would be extinguished. He still said that the Ballot in parliamentary elections would be un- English. As to America, every one knew that the Ballot there was no more secret voting than the open polling of this country, and he believed that it was not a thing whieh the house ought to wish to establish here.— After some remarks by Mr Cox in support of the motion, and a reply by Mr BERKELEY, it was negatived upon a division by 122 to 102. WEDNESDAY.— ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL.— The order for the second reading of this bill was discharged. Sir J. HAY moved the second reading of the Navy Prize Monfey, & c, Bill, stating the reasons that had induced him to introduce the bill, which was desired by the navy to enable them to appoint prize agents.— Lord C. PAGET said the matter was one of great diffi- culty. He admitted that the law was not in a satisfactory state, and the Admiralty had a general bill in preparation, which he ex- pected would be introduced early next session. As there was no immediate demand for such a measure as the present— avowedly a temporary one— he hoped it would not be pressed.— After some discussion the bill was read a second time. THURSDAY-— PUBLIC WORK8 BILL.— MrVILLIERS moved the second reading of the Public Works ( Manufacturing Districts) Bill. He stated the circumstances under which this bill was sub- mitted to the house. It was, he said, the natural and not unex- pected result of an inquiry instituted by the Government with a view to ascertain whether there was not something in the condi- tion of the towns and populous places in Lancashire and Cheshire which would afford a resource for the emplo37ment of the persons who had been so long deprived of their occupation as operatives. The bill was not offered as a panacea for all the evils arising from the existing state of things; it was intended to mitigate the suffer- ings of the factory operatives, and as a means of amelioration in conjunction with emigration and other measures of relief.— Mr FERRAND, after observing that he approved the bill as far as it went, but it did not go far enough, entered into a variety of details and read various documents relating to the state of Lancashire and the condition of the operatives. He contended that fac- tory operatives were utterly unfit for some of the works pro- posed by the bill, and suggested that, instead of keeping these men and women at home another winter, in idleness and want, a considerable number should be removed to our colonies at the public expense.— Mr COBDEN approved the general scope of the bill, but the plan would no more than emigration remedy the evil, though it might mitigate it.— The bill was read a secomd time. FRIDAY.— In the House of Commons there was nothing of sufficient interest to call for a report. LATEST FROM AMERICA. ( REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) ( Per the Asia.) NEW YORK, JUNE 8 ( EVENING). The report, received on Saturday last, that General Lee had evacuated Fredericksburg, and that Hooker had occupied the city, was untrue. It appears that in consequence of the withdrawal of a Confederate brigade from Fredericksburg, General Hooker on Friday afternoon sent a division across the Rappahannock at Deep Run to reconnoitre. This division crossed in face of a heavy tire from the Confederate rifle pits on the opposite shore, and after capturing 100 Confederates in the rifle pits, and ascertaining that Longstreet was there in force, they recrossed the river with the loes of 40 men. It is supposed that General Lee maintains his position at Fredericksburg, and that his late movements were made to place his army in a more healthy situation. General Stuart received from 12,000 to 15,000 Confederate cavalry at Culpepper on Saturday last. Advices from Vicksburg are to the 3d inst. The siege operations continued. One division of General Grant's army was on the west side of Black River Bridge, watching General Johnston, who ap- peared there on the lst and 2d inst with 5,000 troops, but after- wards retired. General Johnston is reported to have altogether 18,000 men, but no artillery. Communication between Generals Grant and Banks is kept up along the Louisiana shore. Southern journals assert that General Kirby Smith has defeated General Banks at Port Hudson. The steamers America and Hammonia have arrived out. NEW YORK, JUNE 9 ( EVENING). Blair's division of General Grant's army has made a reconnais- sance 45 miles to the northward, but without finding any enemy. The country was very rich and fertile, and the Federals destroyed quantities of cotton and stores. Memphis telegrams assert that all negroes in Federal uniform, captured by the Confederates, are hanged. The Government of Georgia, in view of the imminence of an early invasion of that state, has called upon the people to organise for defence. Since his assault of the 27th, General Banks has made no fresh assault on Fort Hudson, but has commenced mining and siege operations. The Confederates fought with unusual fierceness against the negro troops, and some accounts state that no wounded negroes were taken prisoners, but all were slaughtered. The Confederates have reoccupied the Bayou Teche country. The negro expedition from Port Royal has made a raid up the Comhabee river, capturing a number of negroes and destroying property. They also burnt Bluffton. The federal expedition from Yorktown destroyed| the Confederate foundry and stores on the Mattapouy river. General M'Clellan has reviewed two returned regiments from the balcony of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Tremendous enthusiasm was displayed for him by the soldiers and people. The nomination of Mr Vallandigham as a candidate for the governorship of Ohio by the; democracy of that State is con- sidered certain. A democratic meeting has been held in Brooklyn, to denounce the usurpation of the Administration. The editors of the New York journals have passed resolutions asserting their right to criticise the acts of the Administration and its subordinates, and denying the right of the military to suppres8 papers published far from the seat of war. In the case of the Dolphin it has been decided that a vessel bound to Nassau, with the intention of sailing from thence to a blockaded port, was equally liable to capture as if she was bound direct to a blockaded port. Sixty- six cases of rifles and swords were found on board the Dolphin, entered on the freight list as hardware. A letter from the owner was also found, requesting the agents not to discharge the cargo at Nassau, but to obtain addi- tional freight from there. In the case of the steamer Pearl time was allowed to the claimants to produce further testimony, but it was decided that vessels bound to convenient ports, with intention of making voyages from there to blockaded ports, are subject to capture before their arrival at the ports from which they intend to sail for blockaded ports. Eight schooners are reported to have been captured in the Gulf. ( By Telegraph to Halifax.) NEW YORK, JUNE 11 ( MORNING). General Banks officially reports that the conduct of the negro troops has been heroic, and that there is no longer any doubt that the Government will find in the negroes effective supporters. General Banks's loss, from the 23d to the 30th ult, was 1,000 men, including many of his ablest officers. General Sherman has died at New Orleans. Admiral Porter officially reports that he sent another expedi. tion up the Zazoo, which destroyed nine Confederate transports. Admiral Porter adds that, with the exception of some few steamers beyond Fort Pemberton, the Confederates can now transport nothing on the Zazoo. The Philadelphia Inquirer says that the second South Carolina negro regiment defeated the Confederates on the 3d inst at Poco- toglio, and was holding the railway bridge between Savannah and Charleston. Reinforcements are being forwarded to them. It is reported that Mr Vallandigham has been imprisoned by the Confederates. ( By Telegraph to Cape Race.) NEW YORK, JUNE 12 ( EVENING). The brigades of Federal cavalry and 2,000 infantry crossed the Rappahannock on Tuesday last, and had a severe engagement with General Btuart's cavalry, lasting all day, when the Confede- rates received heavy infantry reinforcements, and the Federals re- crossed the river, bringing away their dead and wounded. The object of the expeditian was to frustate the plans of General Lee, who had assembled a force of cavalry at Culpepper Court House with the view of making a raid into Maryland. The expe- dition is said to have succeeded in its object. General Lee has received reinforcements, and the impression still prevails that he will shortly assume the offensive. Great preparations for defence are being made in Pennsylvania. News from Vicksburg is to the 8th inst. The siege was progres" sing, but the situation had not changed. The Enrolment is being " resisted in Indiana. The Provost Mar- shal and his assistant have been shot. Considerable excitement CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS- The progress of monetary and commercial affairs during the week has not developed any new feature of importance, but trade has continued tolerably active; the mercantile community have had no difficulty in obtaining all the accommodation they re- quired at the current rates, and credit has been well maintained.' The minimum remains at 4 per cent, but bills are negotiated else- where at 3J, and in exceptional instances at 3| per cent, so that the Bank return completed to Wednesday last showed a falling off in the other securities; among other favourable changes, it also exhibited an increase in the reserve of notes and stock of bullion, the latter being augmented by the influx of a large portion of the recent arrivals from Australia, America, & c. Considerable activity has prevailed at the Stock Exchange, but only in the foreign market, Mexican, Greek, and Spanish having been in special favour. There is less speculation, however, than there was, the elevated range of prices, as well as the disposition evinced at this period to leave town, having led to a contraction of engage- ments. Consols closed yesterday ( Friday) afternoon at 911 92 for money, and at 92j 5 for the account. During the past week business in the Foreign Stock Market continued moderately active. The chief features, however, have been the fluctuations in Greek and Mexican Securities; the former have declined about 1 to 1J, and the latter 1 to lj per cent. The Egyptian Loan has improved £; the Italian Loan has de- clined Old Turkish Six per Cents have improved 5 to The Loan of 1858 and the Loan of 1862 have been without ni"*^ rial alteration, while the Consolid^ s have declined 5. sJJ, The dealings in the Railway Bhare Market during the week have not been very extensive, the dealers and speculators having been chiefly engaged with the half- monthly settlement. Prices, however, have shown a slight downward movement. London and Brighton at one time advanced to 123, but they have since reached to 120J 120J. Great Western have receded about £ 1, North. Western 10s, Caledonian 15s, and South Eastern £ 1. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have remained dull, without any material change to record in values. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares during the week; were in fair request, and prices exhibited rather less firmness ii& several instances. SATURDAY EVENING. The Funds to- day have been rather flat. Consols closed at 92 to 92j for money, and at 92J J for the account. In the Foreign Market Greek Bonds have declined 37f 38J Venezuela Three per Cents to 25j f, the Loan of 1862 to 58 j, and the New ditto to 1 discount.

June. 20 ( including season ticket holders), NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. THE IRON- PLATED SHIP ROYAL OAK.— The official trial of this vessel, the first of our converted and fully- armoured frigates, commenced on Monday, June 15, at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, near Portsmouth, under the direction of Captain H. Broad- head, commanding Her Majesty's ship Asia and the steam reserve at Portsmouth. Two previous attempts had been made to com- mence the trials, but failed, owing to the rough state of the weather. On Monday the Fancy gunboat, having Captain Broad- head and his staff on board, left Portsmouth harbour for the ship at eight a. m., and on emerging from the harbour entrance the Royal Oak came in full view as she lay broadside on at Bpithead ( about two miles distance) with steam up and her anchor short apeak. By the time Captain Broadhead and his staff had reached the Royal Oak's upper deck from the deck of the Fancy gunboat, the ship's anchor was hanging to the cathead, and by nine a. m. she was steaming out towards the Warner Light, to clear her fires and otherwise prepare for the race over the trial ground o£ the measured mile. The morning was fine, with a light breeze from W. by N., just sufficient to furnish a good draught to the fires, but not prejudicial to the ship's way when going against it. On reaching the lightship the Royal Oak's course was altered, and her head laid for Stokes Bay, where the trials of speed with full boiler power were at once entered upon, and completed with the following results:— First mean speed in knots, 12- 351, 12 678, 12- 388, 12 626, 12- 911; second mean speed in knots, 12- 514, 12- 533, 12 507, 12 558. Mean speed of the ship, 12- 528 knots. On the following day her powers of turning and completing circles were tested, and found to be equally satisfactory. Her engines are by Maudslay and Field. PROMOTIONS.— By the death of General Sir John Hanbury, K. C. B., the following army promotions will take place:— Lieut- General Sir J. M. Wallace, Colonel of the 17th Lancers, to be general; Major- General Richard Greaves, colonel of the 40th Regiment, to be lieut- general; Colonel the Hon A. Gordon, brigadier at the Curragh, to be major- general ; Lieut- Colonel Broadley Harrison, half- paj-, late 11th Hussars, to be colonel; Major the Hon James Stuart, Rifle Brigade, to be lieut- colonel, in the army. WOOLWICH.— The whole of the troops belonging to the garrison were assembled on Monday, June 15, in review order on Woolwich Common, and were minutely inspected by Major- General Sir Richard Dacres, K. C. B., in preparation for a field- day to take place on the 24th inst, after the distribution of the prizes to the gentlemen cadets at the Royal Military Academy by his Royal Highness Field- Marshal the Duke of Cambridge. It was then announced that, to add to the display which is designed for the 24th, a portion of the Household troops are under orders to attend at Woolwich, and in all probability their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales will be present. prevails, and a military force has been sent to the scene of disorder. Mr Vallandigham has been unanimously nominated candidat. for the governorship of Ohio by the Democratic State Convention- President Davis has revoked the exequatur of the British Consul at Richmond for disregarding the legal authority of the Confede. rate Government in assuming to act as consul for other cities than Richmond and other states than Virginia.

The plaintiff was a farmer and horse breeder at Bowerby Grange, Thirsk, Yorkshire, and the defendant was also a horse- dealer, formerly of Pavilion- mews, Sloane- street, Pimlico. The action was brought to recover £ 70, the amount of a bill of exchange, dated December 16, 1862, and pay. able two months after date. The defendant pleaded that the bill was accepted for the price of a horse which was sold but not de- livered to him, and that he and the defendant afterwards agreed that the sale should be cancelled. The action had originally been brought for two sums, one of £ 50 and the other £ 70, in respect of two bills of exchange given by the defendant for two horses bought of the plaintiff. Before that time the defendant had had money transactions with Mr. Curlewis, a tailor, horse- dealer, and money- lender, the result of which was a bill of sale executed by the defendant in his favour. These transaction3 are still unsettled. In consequence of the plaintiff having been informed that the defendant was the servant and agent of Mr Curlewis he came to London, and it was then agreed, as the de- fendant alleged, that the horse which had been purchased for the £ 70 should be taken back, and the bill returned. The £ 50 bill had been paid. The plaintiff in cross- examination said he had received an indemnity in writing from Mr Curlewis in case the verdict should be for the defendant, that he had changed his at- torney since the action commenced, and that he was introduced to his present attorney by Mr Curlewis. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's case the jury said they were quite satisfied the plaintiff could not maintain his action. Mr Baron Martin thought that after what the plaintiff had deposed he could not expect a verdic^ and his counsel thereupon elected to be non- suited. METROPOLITAN RIFLE CONTEST AT WORMWOOD SCRUBBS- This great meeting was brought to a conclusion on Saturday, June 13, with a success hardly to have been expected, considering the unfavourable weather. We have only space for the award of the prizes for the Grand Metropolitan Stakes, which was as follows :— Marks. Sergeant Gibbs, Bristol Rifles. Lieut. Marriner, West Middlesex. Private Seymour, Queen's Westminster. Private Bidden, Inns of Court. Corporal Sarsons, Queen's Westminster. Captain Williams, 19th Middlesex. Major Bridgeman, West Middlesex.

To- day, at Guildhall, James Johnson was charged with having robbed a boy in the street of a bundle containing two silk dresses, a jacket, and a table- cloth. The prisoner met the boy carrying the bundle, and having induced him to go on a message, leaving the property in his care, he decamped. He had played the sa. ne trick with another boy, who was carrying fancy articles worth about £ 15 for his employers.— Committed for trial on both charges. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— Madamej; Ristori commenced her engagement on Monday evening by playing her favourite cha- racter, Medea, in the presence of an audience which may be con- sidered numerous for a performance that is completely " caviare to the multitude.'' The great actress has not lost any of the qualities that made so strong a sensation among the more select world of playgoers eight years ago, and at present we content ourselves with the statement that all her more remarkable points and poses were at once recognised, and that she was called before the curtain at the end of each act. " Medea" is the piece in which she displays the greatest variety of emotion, and her fine picturesque delineation was fully appreciated. THE VOLUNTEERS.— His Royal Highness the Duke of Cam- bridge has notified that his engagements will not allow of his inspecting the London Rifle Brigade in Richmond Park this day ( Saturday) as was previously arranged. He will, however, hold his inspection of the regiment in Hyde Park at half- past five. Lord Ranelagh has organised a grand volunteer field- day, in which it is expected that about 3,000 volunteers will be engaged, to take place this day ( Saturday) in the park belonging to Lieut- tenant- Colonel Palmer at Wanstead. The South Middlesex, the 29th ( North Middlesex), it is believed the West Middlesex, the whole of the Tower Hamlets, and several other metropolitan regi- ments have consented to take part in this field- day. Most of the Essex corps, including the Essex Artillery, will be present, and not only will the evolutions be a regular sham fight, but it is un- derstood there is to be an improvised fortress, a la Vicksburg, to be defended and taken ; and, there being a good deal of water be- tween the contending armies, a most interesting and instructive field day is anticipated. Opera, race, jmd field glasses, in every variety of form and mounting, matchless for great magnifying power and sharpness of definition.

MONTGOMERY.— In the Rolls Court, on Friday, Mr Selwyn moved on behalf of Mr Fechter, lessee of the Lyceum Theatre, for an injunction restraining Mr Walter Montgomery from performing at any other theatre without the consent of Mr Fechter. Mr Montgomery in January last entered into an en- gagement with that gentleman to perform at his theatre for two years, but as the Duke's Motto had proved a success, and in which Mr Montgomery did not sustain a part, he had not yet made his appearance. Mr Montgomery did not like the arrangement, and without the consent of Mr Fechter he entered into an engagement with Mr G. Vining to appear on Saturday next at the Princess's Theatre as Othello. Mr Baggally said Mr Montgomery's engage- ment did not, under the circumstances, bind him. He had gained a position in the provinces as an actor, and it was doing him a serious injury in keeping him from making his appearance. His sole object in coming to London was to perform as early as pos- sible before a metropolitan audience. His Honour said the present was not a case in which the court could interfere. It was impossible to think that when Mr Montgomery entered into the engagement with Mr Fechter that he was to be kept for an indefi- nite time in a state of idle inactivity. The statement that Mr Fechter was going to produce a piece for him did not alter the case. The motion, therefore, must be refused. THE DOUBLE MURDER IN SOUTHWARK,— Thomas Lidbetter, a cabinet- maker, 60 years of age, was brought before Mr Combe, at the Southwark police court, last week, for final examination, charged with the wilful murder of Martha Lidbetter, aged 58 ( his wife), and David Lidbetter ( his son), aged 17, by cutting their throats with a razor. It may be recollected that about half- past seven o'clock on Monday morning, the 25th ult, the prisoner went into the shop of Mr Pugh, a chemist, residing opposite to him in the Borough- road, in a nervous state, and told him he wanted to speak to him, » nd afterwards he said that he had murdered his wife and son. Mr Pugh would not believe him, but he followed him to his house, when the prisoner told him again that he had murdered his wife and son, and that he had tried to kill himself by attempting to cut his throat and hang himself. He had at that time a piece of rope in his hand, which was broken. Mr Pugh entered the house, and in the bed room on the first floor he dis- covered Mrs Lidbetter lying on her face across the bed dead, with her throat cut from ear to ear, and deluged in blood. The son was lying on his back on another bed, with his throat cut fear- fully. He was not dead, and was sufficiently sensible to point out that his father had committed the horrible deed. The police were called in, and Dr Marsh was soon in attendance, when he ordered the lad to be conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he ex- pired on the Wednesday following. When the prisoner was taken into custody he admitted having cut the throats of his wife and son, and informed the police where they could find the razor with which he had committed the acts. A coroner's inquest was held before Mr Sergeant Payne immediately afterwards, and, after hearing all the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the prisoner. The whole of the evidence was pro- duced against the prisome^ andiheiwas fully committed- far trial. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE.- FRIDAY. The markets in the country have not been quite so well supplied with Wheat as they were last week, but the quality of the samples has been mostly good. The trade, without being buoyant, has in many markets been rather firmer, more 011 account of a slight export inquiry than through extended transactions on home account, and in some cases a slight advance has resulted. Barley and Oats have been dull, the latter rather declining. Beans and Peas about the same as last advised. The aggregate supply of English Wheat, & c, at Mark- lane has been under that of last week. The Imports of foreign Wheat have been moderate, but good of Oats and American Flour. The Wheatrade both English and foreign, was quiet to- day, but in the value of either no alteration was made. These remarks are also applicable to Flour. Barley was steady at full prices. The demand for Oats was heavy, with prices tend- ing in buyers' favour. Beans and Peas were held at full prices.— Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, old white, 49s to . r> 3s: ditto, new, 40s to 50s; ditto, old red, 49s to 51s; ditto, new, 40s to 49s; Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire, 40s to 49s.

The show of Sheep was moderately extensive. Downs and half- breds were firm in price; otherwise, the Mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at Monday's currency. The top figure was 5s per 81b, Lambs were in good snpply and heavy request, on former terms, viz, from 5s 4d to 6s 8d per 81b.
