" The tired horse, the crownless hat, the wetted coat, and the absolute necessity for walking, are all there vividly enough; and there's the in- domitable spirit of the English Pippins which lias carried him through a glorious day, in which perils and dangers are merged In a love of sport. The drawing of these sketches is most spirited, and the evident know- ledge of his subject which has guided the pencil of Mr H. K. Browne makes them very valuable additions to this class of publication. Need we say that Mr Fores has done all in the way of bringing them out that can make them available for the drawing- room table."— Sporting Magazine. " There is something so real and unaffected about Phiz's humour, and it is put before us in such a thoroughly workmanlike, artistic manner, that the most Boeotian head can hardly miss the point of it. His horses and hounds are alive, and some of them kicking: his roadside and cover- side ' bits' wear quite a familiar air. Throughout the whole of this series Mr Pippins is admirable ; but Mr Pippins's horse is positively inimitable." — The sporting Gazette. Published by Messrs Fores, 41, Piccadilly, London.

C HARLES OAKLEY'S information on the above important races Is of a very first- rate character, and ought te be acted upon immediately. C. Oakley's selection for the Liverpool Cup he thinks as good as his especial choice ( Fairwater) for this race last season. With respect to GLORIOUS GOODWOOD, C. Oakley begs to state there is not the slightest change in his opinion ; his horses for the Goodwood Stakes and Cup are doing capital work, and fit to run for a kingdom. All connected with the animals deem winning a certainty, fearing nothing in the race. The Goodwood Stakes C. Oakley considers especially good for investment, and does not hesi tate to assert he never felt more confident of winning, and strongly urges all who want to realize a capital stake to get oil his choice at once. Remember C. Oakley won both these races last year, and never lost the Qoodwood Stakes, having named the winner of this important and exciting race for the last eight years in succession. The following were C. Oakley's bona fide selections. THE GOODWOOD STAKES.

ROEBUCK v LOUIS NAPOLEON- It is impossible to wait till Monday for the reply of the mem- ber for Sheffield in this matter of contradictory assertion. The member for Sheffield made his statement, the Moniteur has given an answer to it, and the member for Sheffield has to make his reply. But under such circumstances a reply can be of very little value as to fact, and must depend much upon mere reasoning. Well upon mere reasoning, we confess to a fancy that as to what Mr Roebuck believed the French Emperor to have said we can well trust Mr Roebuck. But this does not exempt him from the im- putations of ignorance and credulity— ignorance of the clever re- finements of the French language, and credulity in hastily accept- ing as true what lie hoped to be true. There is quite suflieient difference between the statements of Baron Gros to Lord Russell, and the statement in the Moniteur, to justify this conclusion. What then is the result ? That this country and its policy and France and its policy stand exactly as before, being in no way affected by a foolish interview, and a blundering statement of a possibly misleading conversation. But there is one other point deserving of grave consideration ; that is, the offensiveness of any one member of Parliament, or any number of private members of Parliament, seeking an inter- view with a foreign sovereign, to induce him to act as they wish in a matter which concerns the interests of all England. We have serious doubts whether this conduct of Mr Roebuck and his subordinate does not subject them to an indictment at common law, and we advise them, and all who maybe inclined to follow their foolish example, to consider this matter before they venture on adopting such a course of conduct. Passing by, for the moment, this legal consideration, we must protest, on public grounds, against any member or members of Parliament seeking an interview with a foreign sovereign, in order to induce him to use his influence with the English Govern- ment te make it adopt a particular line of conduct. Such an act would be bad enough in any English subject; it is twenty times worse when perpetrated by a member of the Parliament. Such a person is supposed to represent the wishes and opinions of a certain body of electors, but he represents them only in the body to which they send him— that body is exclusively English, and if believed to be under foreign influence, would be, and ought to be, dissolved at once, and purged of that in- fluence; or, if it refused to submit to a dissolution, or thwarted the Crown in effecting one, it would be properly dis- solved by the act of the people. Now, what would be a crime in the whole body, justifying— nay, requiring— the people to reconstitute the Government, is an offence of a very high kind in any member of that body. And the rule of constitutional law remains the same, though, in these days, we may afford to treat with scornful contempt what, in an earlier period of our history, would have been visited with the greatest severity of punishment. In this case, happily for the two offenders, the feeling of contempt predominates. They did not understand what the Emperor said, or they misrepresented what he did say, or he has played upon them. One of these positions they must adopt— unless by an ingenious blundering, very likely to be theirs, they can combine all three at once, and thus subject themselves to the incredulity, the censure, and the ridicule both of their own countrymen and of Frenchmen.

T, Cim- Yes, RUSSIAN SCHEMES AS TO POLAND. A Russian Government memorial has found its way to the papers, and affords the completest exposition of the views, and objects, and means ( all except those of war) of the Russian Go- vernment. Honest old Machiavelli has been very adroitly black- guarded for centuries by men who would have dreaded nothing so much as his being well read and well understood, by the masses, as he wa3 by a few educated men. But all that has been ( falsely) attributed to him is surpassed by a paper seriously prepared for the service of the Russian Government, written by one of its learned professors, addressed to one of its provincial governors, and as seriously attempted by that Government to be put in force. The writer of it is one Pogodin, a Russian Professor of the University of Moseow. What it is and what it recommends we shall show to our readers by certain extracts, regretting only that our want of space prevents us from printing the whole document, which more than any extracts would show the cool diabolism of the writer. Everyone knows that one of the most easy ( many will say of the most guilty) of things in state scheming, is to rouse " the men of the lowest class of society against those in a different condition of life. The scheme of Pogodin, addressed to, and apparently favoured by, the Governor of the Moscow Provinces, for the settlement of the present in- surrection, has for its essential basis the rousing of the Polish peasants against the landowners, and for giving to the former the idea that nothing but the destruction of the latter can relieve the peasants from their present dependent condition. The professor seems to have studied with great effect in the schools of tyranny and of deception. Thus he recommends ( what will the French say to this ?) that the Russian Government should imitate the example of Louis Napoleon as to Nice and Savoy, and say to those Poles who do not like his arrangements, " If you do not wish to become my subjects, go away and he declares that all persons suspected o£ opposition to the Government scheme " should be sent into the depths of Russia" ( what a fear- ful meaning there is in that phrase), " and their property sold by auction, or confiscated, according to the degree of guilt." The value of the pretended " sale" by auction is suggested by another proposition that " every effort should be made to procure Russian purchasers, and to facilitate to them the best means of acquiring the property, and of establishing themselves upon it.'' The fraud of the whole affair may be summed up by another quotation, which is this:—" This buying off of the allotments may be promulgated, for appcarance sake, as a general law obligatory in Russia, but should only take effect in the occidental provinces, whence originated the first committees for the improvement of the condition and well being of the peasants.'' And as a farther instance of the kindness, justice, and sincerity of the professor, he coolly adds, " The poor nobility [ landowners] and the townsmen might be offered settlements, with the right of colonists, in the Caucasus, on the Amoor, or in Orenburg." A more brutal proposition could liardly be conceived. The Caucasus, or the Circassian territory, is, as we all know, the scene of perpetual warfare. Think of the " offer" to poor ex- patriated Poles, gentry, and townsmen to settle there. The learned professor and the governor to whom his production is addressed, and who probably suggested the idea of composing it, must have read, and thought to profit by, the axiom which belauds the wisdom of " killing two birds with one stone." Get rid of the Poles— and— fix them as colonists on the Circassians. On a future occasion we may show how the Circassians are dealt with— at present we abstain. We have now only to write regarding the Poles. To send the Poles to the Causcaus is simply to send them out to misery and destruction, or to make them the instruments, the unwilling instruments, of the aggrandisement of the Czar. Mark the deep seated hypocrisy of the next passage, " To save appearances, Russian volunteers might petition for" the same privileges !" Their " privileges" would be to sacrifice their own lives in order to entail on the Circassians the misery and exile which had been inflicted on themselves. We are perfectly well aware that all this will not stir those men of the " peace party,'' who ( being then on the peace tack) did not care how the principles of justice were to be sacrificed for the purposes of Nicholas in 1854, and who do not now ( being on the war tack) care bow the principles of humanity are sacrificed for the benefit of their commerce in the American struggle. But what will they say to this ? After speaking of the wretched con- dition of the labourers in White Russia, tlie professor says:— " Their usual occupation on the railways" ( if there had been cotton factories in White Russia he would have said " and cotton factories") " should be turned more to the profit of the pea- sant than of the contractor." We expect an absolutely universal outcry of horror against the professor; we expect it, of course, from all honest, honourable, and just men, because his recom- mendations are so diabolical in their deceptiveness and tyranny ; and we also expect it from the residuum of mankind, the " peace party," because he recommend" that capitalists should be sacrificed to workmen. No matter whence the execration pro- ceeds. On every possible ground, and by all men, : t uttered. Though the last- named party nuu ... si nned ( the one that completes the thousand, ail the ot. ier con iemning the scheme for other and better reasons, it is wcii ti.^ t tU- wh^ le thousand should be unanimous. We need not go farther in the dissection of this atrocious, yet ( perhaps not " yet," but " therefore") most orthodox Russian state paper; though, if we did, we could sh. » w that it-, scheme as to setting peasants against landowners, ant railway * against railway contractors, is worked out by the addition of set- ting the lower against the higher clergy. And all these things are to be done not for the sake of justice to the peasants, to the rail- way labourers, or to the lower clergy, but to give to the Govern- ment absolute power over all by fomenting divisions and hatred between all. To effectuate this scheme the Government is ad- vised to make all the officials in every department exclusively Russian, and to make them " act in concert'' for the purpose re- commended. And even as to Russians, " If the smallest want of accord should appear among them, they should at once be trans- ferred from one Government to another." More than Machiavelli described and censured a tyrant for thinking of, this Russian official gravely proposes for adoption ; and it is likely to be adopted. Is the insurrection in Poland to be wondered at, or, rather, is it not a wonder that Poland should have been quiet so long ; and that, now that she has risen, she is left to struggle alone ? FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. ITALY. The Stampa states that tlu> recruiting in Sicily has been at- tended with very satisfactory i- esults, and says:—" This measure, which could never have been realised under a Bourbon Govern- ment, may now be considered as completely successful. The energy of the Government ami the patriotism of the people have triumphed over every obstacle." The Oiscussiotie considers that the diplomatic negotiations in the matter of Poland will not be attended with the desired result. When France and England really intend to bring about the triumph of the Polish national cause, Italy will probably be called upon to give her assistance. AUSTRIA." The Cabinet of Vienna lately addressed a complaint to the Rus- sian Government specifying several instances of the violation of the Austrian territory by Russian detachments. The Grand Duke Constantino has addressed an order of the day to his troops on this subject. He does not deny, he seeks to lessen the gravity of the facts. He even acknowledges that it was not through ignorance, but from a deliberate re?<. ce, that the Russian commanders crossed the frontier; but, while threatening for the future the authors of such acts, he limits himself for the present to very slight measures of repression. A major of dragoons and a commander of Cos- sacks are condemned to a few days'arrest. The I'resse of Vienna recalls the fact that in the encounters on the frontier an Austrian officer ivas stripped and robbed by Cossacks. .. < . idler kilted, and asks if the mere punishment of arrest iiiilicttia on the chiefs of the offending detachment constitutes sufficient reparation for the past, or a sufficient pledge of security for the future. The Austrian Government is doing its best to prevent persons from its own Polish province of Galicia from joining the insurgents. POLAND. The Wilna Courier publishes the instructions issued by General Annienkoff relative to the organisation of armed peasant guards. Of the twenty paragraphs of which this document consists, the following are the most noticeable;— 1. In every Bmall town or village one- third of the adult male population will be i![ corpo- rate < 1, to form the town or village guard. 2. One- half of the vil- lage guard will remain to defend the town in the event of attack. The other half will be formed into flying columns for the purpose of tracking and pursuing the insurgents. 4. The peasant guards w ill join in all military operations against the insurgents, and will turn out on the shortest notice whenever called upon to do so by any military commander. In cases where the regular forces are sufficiently strong without the assistance of the peasant guards, the latter will be formed into a reserve, and if after their dispersion the insurgents seek refuge in the forest, the peasants will follow and capture ttiem singly. 5. Volunteers to each divi- sion of the peasant guard w ill be accepted; if they do not offer in sufficient numbers the town or village authorities will resort to a conscription. 14. The leaders of the peasants are alone to be en- trusted w ith firearms. The Czas points out the disadvantages that would ensue to the Polish cause by the adoption of an armistice. The National Government has published a proclamation to the fol- lowing effect:—" Nothing has beenaltered in the proceedings of the National Government since the programme put forth upon the 22d January last. We have never over- estimated the value of foreign diplomacy, nor have we entered into negotiations for an armistice. The National Government could only place itself under obligations to Foreign powers when it negotiated with them upon a footing of equality as the representative of a free nation. 5'— The Czas makes known some new atrocities on the part of Russia. In the streets of Wilna some women, whose mourning garments had been brutally torn from them by the Boldiers of Mouravieff, were defended by the crowd. The troops then charged the people with the bayonet, and 40 persons were killed. Some women guilty of wearing mourning received as many as a hundred strokes ot the knout, and were left insensible, weltering in blood. Others are huddled together in the dungeons of the citadel. Several have died from terror and ill- treatment. Some have been found suffocated in their narrow cells; among them Mdlle Marie Lapaswk, a member of an illustrious family in the district of Lida. The prisoners, whose number increases every day, have only two pounds of bread and a litre of water per day. DENMARK. The Government has oreiered an extraordinary levy of two- years' service men, the whole of whom are ordered to be under arms on the 1st of August next. GREECE. There have been great disturbances at Athens, and the Italian Admiral landed marines to protect the Italian residents. The French squadron there has been increased, and some additional English ships have been ordered thither. The two leaders of the military revolt have made their submission to the National As- sembly. GEORGIA- The news of the outbreak of a revolution in Georgia ( the Rus- sian province in Asia) has been received. The citadel of Zalatai, a fortified village, was stormed. The Tartars had joined the in- surgents. MADAGASCAR. The official report of the French consul at Tamatave has been published. This report explains that the cause of the political revolution in Madagascar was the rivalry between the nobles and Nenamaso. The young men who, at the accession of King Radama, took power and monopolised all favours, suggested to the King measures disapproved of by the people. They were accused of injustice, of being open to corruption and great immorality. The French consul assembled all his fellow country men, and the English consul wished the Methodist missionaries to take a similar course, but they did not respond to his invitation. The King having again refused to revoke the law, the people, slaves, and soldiers assembled in the public places to search for the thrity- three indi- viduals belonging to the King's court who had been proscribed by the conspirators. Eleven were killed by the multitude. While this was going on negotiations were entered into with the King, who asked mercy for the unfortunate men remaining, who he promised should be exiled for life. This was refused by the con- spirators, who demanded that the guilty should undergo per- petual imprisonment in chains. The King would not at first com- ply with this demand, but after much parleying ended by accept- ing it. The following day the King was assassinated and the Council proclaimed Queen Robodo, announcing that the King, disconsolate at the loss of his friends, had committed suicide. The Queen accepted the constitution, which stipulates, among other things, that she shall not drink strong liquors, and that the right over life and death belongs to the Council. It also abolishes the Tanquin, and maintains religious liberty. The Prime Minis- ter informed M Laborde that he had sent orders to the governors on the coast to protect the whites. AMERICA. The army of General Lee, described to be much stronger in numbers and much better equipped than that of the Federals, has entered Pennsylvania without resistance. It is clear that Wash- ington is to be attacked at more points than one. The governor of New Jersey has withdrawn the New Jersey troops from the Federal army. The New York people are beginning to show un- mistakable signs of a desire for peace. CHINA AND JAPAN. In Japan the Government has manifested tendencies which give reason to hope that it would give the satisfaction which the Eng- lish admiral has been ordered to obtain by force. A complete understanding existed between the Chinese " Government and the representatives of England and France. The insurgents had not recommenced hostilities. RUSSIA AND SWEDEN. Russia is at this moment engaged in raising military works on the islands of Aland in the Baltic, and that in defiance of an ar- ticle in the treaty of Paris, which formally prohibits the construc- tion of batteries or forts in those isles. Sweden has protested against this violation of the treaty. THE SUCCESSION DUTY ACT. A curious case upon this act has recently been brought before the Court of Exchequer. The question of who is " successor,'' in a varied series of entails and settlements, has been decided in favour of the Revenue in more than one important case, and the success of those suits seems to have urged the officers of the Revenue to lay claim to profits, not only upon what was enjsyed when the succession occurred, but upon what might come to be enjoyed when altered circumstances or a more energetic owner added a new value to the land. Such seems, at least, to have been the case which was presented to the Court ot Exchequer. Three of the learned barons out of four rejected the clgim of the Revenue Office. And, as common sense would say, they properly rejected it. What did the " successor' succeed to ? The land, such as it was, at the death of his predecessor. That predecessor died in 1855, when the land was of little value. Circumstances have changed within these seven years, and it has now become of great value. The Revenue must wait till the next change of owners, and then take the benefit of the increased value of the succession. If otherwise, a poor man might be rained because of his want of capital to turn his land to better purposes than his father had done; or a stupid man might be ruined because he could not be made to comprehend that a certain increased outlay of capital would bring him in a large increase of profit; or a quiet man, who loved the country, and had no enjoyment but in its pleasures, might be fixed with taxation upon the value to which a building or a mining speculator might raise the value of the land. Such anticipatory liabilities would be most absurd, as well as most unjust. And the act plainly never contemplated them, for in the sections declaring how the value of property is to be calculated, the past, and not the future tense is throughout employed. The great " success'' of some previous efforts has " spurred'' the com- missioners a little too far here. THE MEECERS' COMPANY.— H B. H. the Prince of Wales went on Wednesday to the hall of the Mercers' Company, in Cheapside, where he received the freedom of the company. THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE ROYAL AND ANCIENT GOLF CLTJB OF ST ANDREWS.— With no ordinar}- feelings of pride and gratification the Citizens of St Andrews heard last week that the Prince of Wales had agreed to become a member of this time- honoured and national club. These feelings have been further wrought up by an intimation that his royal highness has agreed to accept of the captainship on the expiry of the Earl of Dalhousie's term of office, in October. It is said that a deputation from the club will wait upon the prince in the north, before the close of the shooting season, with the object of having his presence at their annual meeting. The prince's royal mother is patroness of the club. King William IV., as patron, presented a gold medal, which is annually competed for; and Queen Adelaide, as Duchess of St Andrews, presented a gold medal to be worn by the captain. — Scotsman. THE LATE COLONEL EDWARD WALTER CROFTON, C. B.— We regret to observe, by our advices from Malta, that the above gal- lant officer, who held the appointment of commanding officer of artillery at that island, died on the 26th ult. The deceased en- tered the royal regiment of artillery as second- lieutenant July 26th, 1831, and became first- lieutenant August 20th, 1832. He served in Spain during the Christina and Carlist war in 1837 and 1838, and was taken prisoner by the Carlists. He became captain August 2d, 1842, brevet- major June 20, 1854, lieutenant- colonel Nov 6th, 1854, brevet- colonel Nov 6, 1857, and colonel May 30th, 1862. He had received the order of the 1st class of St Fernando, and was nominated to the 3d class of the Medjidie for services as a brigadier with the late Osmanli cavalry. THE DEMOLITION OF THE EXHIBITION BUILDING.— On Wed- nesday morning a large body of workmen tin the employ of Messrs Kelk and Lucas were engaged in making preparations for razing the Exhibition building to the ground— a great portion Of the flooring has been ripped up, and the planks converted into a hoarding around the buiiding, and men are employed in re- moving the interior fittings. THE CREMORNE RIOTS.— At the Middlesex Sessions, on Wed- nesday, July 8, the trial commenced of the persons charged with rioting at Cremorne on the Oaks night. The several defendants answered to their names as follow :— Reginald Herbert, John Birkett, Joseph Edward Saville, Robert Shawcross, Charles M'Dougall, and Charles Mott.— Mr Sleigh stated the case to the jury, and said:— Mr E. T. Smith, the prosecutor in the case, had been successively the proprietor of Her Majesty ' s and Drury- lane Theatres, and for the last live years had been theproprietorof Cre- morr. e Gardens, a place which was licensed by the magistrates of Middlesex, where innocent amusements were provided, and a place which was frequented by 9,000 or 10,000 persons in a night, and conducted in such a manner as to be a tit and proper place for all classes of society. and w ith few exceptions no complaint as to the way in w u :. it had been carried on had ever reached the ! uV. e cw.-. I e c. v. x- i tio;. to which he referred was a solitary one and an annual one, and it occurred about the same period of the year as that to which he was about to call their special attention. He meant the Derby week. During that week, on two or three- previous years, persons in a station of society that ought to have taught them better, were in the habit of going there and creating a scene of disorder, but of short duration to that to which he was about to direct their attention. On the night of the Derby this year there was not the usual collection of visitors, by reason of the wea- ther, which they would remember was incessantly inclement, but on the Thursday it was finer, and the attendance was larger. On that night there was a disturbance, but of less magnitude than that they would hear of. It was put down, and those who were implicated in it were allowed to be discharged, Mr Smith hoping that there would be an end of such proceedings. On the next day, being tlie Oaks day, Mr Smith had taken the precaution of having an extra number of the police, so as to be able at once to repress any breach of the peace if it should be attempted, but on that night, about midnight, a disturbance took place which gave rise to these proceedings. A scene of riot, confusion, destruction of property, and injury to persons took place, which would have been a disgrace to a savage land, and much more so to the land in which they lived. The persons who were charged as the principal actors in this scene, whether rightly or wrongly, it would be the province of the jury to determine, were those who were then on the floor of the court, and they were charged with being the originators and participators in the acts to which he had adverted. They were one and all persons whose position in society ought to make them deeply regret, if they should be guilty, that they had i so far forgotten that which their education ar. d position ought | to have taught them instead of offering a bad lesson to 1 those who had not had the same advantages of education i which they themselves possessed. Two or three of them w ere gentlemen of fortune and position, and one of them held 1 Her Majesty's commission of the peace, and another of them held ! Her Majesty's commission as an officer of the army, and the other defendants moved in a very superior position in society. On the night in question the defendants Herbert, Birkett, and Saville were observed in a portion of the establishment called the circular bar, which is near to the promenade, and which was much thronged, persons going in and out. About one o'clock a shrill whistle was heard to come from the circular bar, upon which the defendant Herbert and others rushed amongst the crowd shouting out to the top of their voices, " Now for a lark!" " Come on, boys," " Plenty of brandy and water," upon which immediately there was a rush, and the other defendants joined. They then commenced a riot, mingling it with shouts, hissings, and other noises, and a scene of terrible confusion ensued. Glasses were swept off the counter, plants were taken up and thrown about, people's hats were knocked off their heads, and females were pushed about. The police endeavoured to quell it, but from the time of the whistle there became a raging row and riot. Beeing this destruction of property, the police endeavoured to clear the circular bar of those who had. been conducting themselv<^ in this way, and in doing so some of the officers were as-_ saulted. Finally the riot was quelled, and the defendants taken into custody. He had thus given a brief sketch of these disgraceful proceedings, and he should detain them but for a few moments in laying before them the more prominent facts of the case, which the prosecution said would deserve their serious consideration, to enable them to say by their verdict whether one or all of the de- fendants were concerned in these riots. The learned gentleman then briefly referred to the evidence, and said after he had proved the facts by witnesses, he believed the jury would be bound to re- turn a verdict of guilty against the defendants, remarking that, although a counter charge had been made against a constable named Large for an assault, he had done no more than his duty in using means to protect himself when he was assaulted, in endeavouring to take one of the defendants to the station- house.— The examination and cross- examination of witnesses lasted till Thursday afternoon, when the defence of the prisoners was proceeded with, Mr Ballantine opening the ball on behalf of Herbert. The case was not concluded on Friday night. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE NEAR NEWPORT.— A sad affair has just taken place at Penylan Farm, St Bride's, Netlierwent, near Newport, Monmouthshire. Mr Lungley, the occupier of the farm, had a servant named Frederick Rees, a young man about twenty- one years of age. On Wednesday evening, July 1, they had a dis- pute, and some high words passed between them while at supper. Mr Langley, it appeared, was naturally an excitable roan, and he told Rees to " shut his mouth," and that he would " knock his head off." Rees replied in equally defiant language, and the re- sult was that Mr Langley put him out of the house. When they were outside the door Rees struck his master with a stone on the head and felled him to the ground. As he was on his elbow get- ting up Rees struck him on the head with a second stone about lilb weight, and this inflicted such a wound that Mr Langley died from the effects of it on the Friday night following. HEALTH OF LONDON — The deaths in the week ending July 4 were 1,184, being 45 above the average. Small- pox carried off 43 person's, scarlatina 73, & c, & c, The births were 995 boys and 943 girls— total 1,937. BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JULY 12, 1863. LITERATURE. FisK Hatching. By FKANKT. BUCKLAND, M. A. [ London, Tinsley, Brothers].— Any work from Mr Buckland'a pen is acceptable, for there is such an evident heartiness in all he does and says that the reader is imperceptibly carried along in the current of his ideas, and his modes of action without pausing to think of their feasibi- lity. The book before us is the subject of a lecture delivered at the Royal Institution, Albemaiie- street, on the 17th of last April, and records the author's observations made during a series of ex- periments in fish hatching carried on during the winter months. Mr Buckland writes on his subject con amore, and appeals to the growing importance of the preservation of our fisheries as a matter deserving the consideration of all classes. Pisciculture bids fair to become a scientific pursuit in the hands of gentlemen so devoted to it as Mr Buckland and Mr Francis, whose work entered so earnestly and with such attention to detail on the plans to be ob- served in hatching fish. Mr Buckland's volume is, of course, what it professes to be, a lecture extended and amplified by additional investigations, and by further communications from individuals equally interested as himself in fish batching and fish preserving. It would trench too much on our space to follow our very genial author through ail the various processes by which fish may be artificially reared, but we can assure our readers that the opera- tions are excessively interesting, and that the account of them is as curious to read as it is graphically told. This work is divided into four chapters, the first being devoted to the anatomy, colour, and enormous quantity of ova produced by a single fish, the second explains how the fish deposits her spawn and the means adopted for its protection. The third chapter con- tains a description of the injuries to which the eggs are liable, the accidents to which they are exposed, and the greedy and insatia- ble enemies by which they are threatened and surrounded, and by whom so large a proportion of them are constantly destroyed. The fourth is the fullest and longest chapter, and is occupied with very practical and facile methods by which the eggs may be hatched by artificial means. There is also an Appendix, which, besides other matters, contains many useful hints how salmon and other fish may be conveyed with safety to Australia and other outlying countries. The report of M Ooumes, the celebrated en- gineer of Huningue, testifies How very completely and scientifically the artificial propagation of both marine and fresh water fish has been worked out in France, and as a proof of their labours having been on a large scale we are informed that no less than sixteen million four Hundred and forty thousand four hundred eggs of the finest kinds of fish were distributed in 1861 by the French authori- ties. S ucli an example Mr Buckland assures us deserves to be speedily followed in England, for the chances which await on the lives of fish in our English rivets are as numerous as the ova themselves. From calculations made on the returns of fisheries by Messrs Ash- worth and Buist, we iearn that only one salmon's egg out of every thousand deposited by the parent fish ever becomes a fish fit for human food. Dabchicks and water ouzels are acquitted of eating fish spawn, but ducks and swans are found guilty. To enter fur- ther into the facts herein set forth, or to dwell at large on Mr Buckland's cases and experiences, would be to forestall the reader's pleasure in perusing his book ; suffice it to say, in conclusion, that it is very well printed and is a valuable addition to the too limited library on the subject of pisciculture. OUTLINES ON MODERN FARMING. By ROBERT SCOTT BURN.— SLondon: Virtue Brothers].— This is the second volume of Mr turn's historical notices of farming, ancient and modern, and contains a great deal in a small compass. Theories of manuring, on the chemistry of cattle food and feeding, draining, steam culture, are some amongst the many topics entered upon and examined by Mr Burn. To the philanthropist and practical farmer, the sections which treat on the well being of the agricul- tural labourer will be by no means the least important or least interesting part of the book. Nor does the author confine his remarks to English modes of husbandry only, he having travelled through the Low Countries and in parts of Germany, where he made good use of his eyes, and saw palpable evidences of the reasons by means of which some of the foreign agriculturalists are enabled to produce the prodigious crops which we hear so much about. The book is a handy little volume to be put into the pocket for reference or perusal during a long day's journey in the countries where the science and pursuit of agriculture is as essential to the inhabitants as is a study of the first principles of navigation to those who traverse the wide seas over. LAW INTELLIGENCE. SINGULAR CASE.— In the Divorce Court, on Wednesday, the Hon Geo. A. Hamilton Chichester petitioned for a declaration of nullity of his marriage with a Mrs Mure, on the ground that the same had been solemnised within three months after his wife had been divorced from her former husband, Mr William Mure, British Consul at New Orleans, which was in violation of the act of Parliament constituting the Court.— The Queen's Advocate, • with whom was Dr Middletoa, for the respondent, applied to the court to postpone judgment until the petitioner had complied • with the orders of the court respecting alimony and costs.— Sir C. Cresswell said there was no ground made out for the application, which he accrodingly refused. The learned judge then proceeded to deliver the judgment of the court. The petitioner prayed the court to dissolve his marriage with Lucy Virginia Elizabeth Mure, and the case came before the court on a demurrer. The court had no doubt at the close of the argument as to the judgment they should deliver, but, from the importance and novelty of the case, they thought it right to place their judgment on paper. The marriage was solemnised between the petitioner and Lucy Virginia Elizabeth Mure at Paris, in August, 1859, and the petitioner alleged that it was in- valid, and the case came before the court under the pro- visions or the 55th, 56th, and 57th sections of the 20th and 21st of Victoria, cap 85, the Divorce and Matrimonial Court Act. The first section referred to was—" That either party dissatisfied with the decision of the court in any manner made by the Judge Ordi- nary alone, may, within three months after the pronouncing thereof, appeal therefrom to the full court, & c." By the next section—" Either party, dissatisfied with the decision of the full court, may, within three months from the pronouncing theresf, appeal to the House of Lords, & e." And by the last section it was provided—" That for appeal against any decree dissolving any marriage, and no such appeal has been made, it shall be lawful for parties to marry again, & c." It was contended for the peti- tioner that, according to the 57th section of the act, the marriage was invalid ; but for the respondent it was argued that a different construction should be put on the act in relation to marriage, unless the sections contained words to the effect. Having referred to different cases as cited in the course of the argument, the learned judge said that the court, having duly considered the case, had decided that the marriage was invalid. EXPERIMENTS AT SHOEBURYNESS.— On Monday there was another of the long series of experiments to ascertain the best mode of constructing the sides of iron- plated ship3. There was a numerous assemblage of Admiralty and other officials, including the Duke of Somersst, Lord Clarence Paget, Admiral Sir Frede- rick Grey, Earl de Grey and Ripon, General Tullock, & c, & c. The target was the invention of Mr. George Clark, and consisted of seven plates of various thicknesses, from three to five and a half inches of iron; each plate, except the third and fourth towards the centre, having a different backing as regards thickness of angle iron, & c; but all being formed upon the general principle that the best method of meeting the concussion of the shet beneath the armour- plates is, according to Mr. Clark's theory, by a cellular system of wrought- iron webs, either vertical or horizontal, the cells in every ease being filled in either with pitch, pine, teak, or milboard packing. The target, it is said, except for the general principle of a backing of cellular iron webs, vertical or horizon- tal, and filled with some deadening substance, was altogether the most varied compound target the authorities of Shoeburyness have ever had before the muzzles of their guns. It was a mass of targets, and every target was a mass of patents of some kind or other, in fact a curious agglomeration of mechanical crotchets. Its failure, it would seem, was conspicuous. It showed from the first signs of giving way under the discharges of the 68- pounders. It was nearly on its last legs, when the Armstrong 300 or 150- pounder, which not even the target of Mr Chalmers re- sisted, was trained against it and gave it the coup de grace. A 1501b shot was fired with a charge of 501b of powder. With a terrific crash it smashed through the thickest ( 5j inch) plate of the target, through cells and backing and inner skin— shivering into matchwood one after the other two of the massive beams which shored up the target from behind, and ploughing into the earth beyond, glanced, and weut up into the still hot air with a roar that was audible for many seconds. It was the general opinion, judging from the smashing the shot had inflicted after its passage through the target, and the prolonged flight its sound showed it had made through the air afterwards, that had a second target of the same kind been behind the first, it would in all pro- bability have gone through both. In other words, had a ship been constructed on the principle of this target, it would have gone in at one side and out at the other, making the same ruin of Doth. It is stated that the proper authorities have reported in favour of the Chalmers target as the only one satisfying all the requirements of strength. It is also reported that these expensive trials are now at an end. THE TRIAL OF STEAM FIRE ENGINES.— The committee ap- pointed to decide on the merits of the various steam fire engines which competed last week in the grounds of the Crystal Palace have made their award of prizes, exactly in the manner we ex- pressed our anticipations that they would be given. To the pa- tent steam fire engine by Messrs Merry weather and Sons, Long- acre ( large size), was awarded the first prize of £ 250. The boiler of this engine is made of steel plates, a large heating surface being obtained by a quantity of vertical copper tubes, which also act as strong stays ; the upper part of the boiler or steam chest is fixed in wrought- iron valves for carrying off the smoke and creating a draught. The outer water jacket is also frequently stayed, so as to make it secure for the highest pressure. The internal arrange- ment of the boiler is such that a perfect circulation of water is carried on, and it is fed by Clifford's patent injector. A prize of £ 100 was awarded to Messrs Bhand, Mason, and Co, of Blackfriars Bridge, for the next best large engine. Both of these engines are especial ly adapted for large towns and cities, but the small ones are what the committee of the Fire Brigade think will best suit the greater number of London fires. Among the small land steamers, the first prize of £ 250 was awarded to Messrs Shand, Mason, and Co. The engine is of the class not ex- ceeding SO cwt. It has an upright tubular boiler, so that it can be easily taken to pieces to have the tubes repaired when necessary. It can also be refixed without injury, as it is joined by means of flanges, and fixed by bolts and nuts, instead of rivets. The steam cylinder is 7in in diameter, and is placed vertically over the pump. This part of the machine, with the connecting pieces, is entirely of gun- metal, and consists of a water cylinder of 9in bore, with a plunger of 6| in diameter, the whole firmly connected to the boiler. This engine can be rapidly drawn to a fire by a pair of horses, and the working steam pressure can be raised to 1601b per square inch. Both these last- named engines are provided with means for carrying hose and implements, as well as the fire- men to work the engine. The (£ 100) prize was awarded to Lee's small engine, of which a full description has already appeared. The other competitors having failed in the performance of their engines received no prizes. MURDER OF A CHILD AT ISLINGTON.— A shabbily- attired young fellow, between seventeen and eighteen years of age, who gave the name of William Henry Clarke, and who described himself as a light porter, residing at No. 31, Lever- street, Goswell- street, St Luke's, was brought up at the Clerkenwell police court on Wednesday, charged on suspicion of murdering a girl, aged eight years, named Elizabeth Hunter, on or about the 30th of March, 1862, at the nursery grounds, William street, parish of St. Mary, Islington. It will be in the recollection of the public that last year the Government offered a reward of £ 100 for the apprehen- sion of a man who stole a child named Elizabeth Hunter, from the bottom of Greenman's- lane, Islington, on Sunday night, the 30th of March, at about ten o'clock. Although every effort was made by the police, and advertisements were circulated over the country, no trace could be found of the child. On Monday, from what came to the knowledge of Inspector Wiseman, he, along with some constables, went to a nursery in William- street, New North- road, kept by a person of the name of Rowe, and, after searching and digging about the greenhouse, found in a hole the remains of the body of a child. The body was covered with about three inches of soil, and had been covered with quick- lime, and was very nearly destroyed. Mr Billinghurst, the di- visional surgeon, was sent for, and, as far as could be ascer- tained from a cursory investigation, the body was presumed to be that of a female child, whilst the hair and the boots that were found along with the remains of the body, as well as several pieces of wearing apparel, pointed strongly to the suspicion that it was the body of Elizabeth Hunter, who had been stolen as above described. The prisoner had been in the employ of the keeper of the nursery, and suspicion falling on him he was appre- hended by Police- constables Herbert Stammers, 136 N, and Goss, 318 N, who told him that he was charged with murdering a girl, on which he said, " Good God, I know nothing about it.'' The prisoner was followed to the court by a large mob of people, and the place where the body was found was surrounded by about 500 or 600 people. The mother of the child was examined, and identified the boots and clothing as having been worn by the child, and a cobbler, who had mended the boots also identified them. A sister of deceased, about 12 years old, deposed that on the day in question the deceased was taken away from her by a man, but she could not identify the prisoner. Mr Rowe, the nurseryman, proved that the prisoner was in his employ at the time of the abductisn, and had a key of the greenhouse; but this was all the evidence forthcoming. The magistrates, however, at the request of the police, remanded the prisoner for a week. Opera, race, and field glasses, in every variety of form and mounting, matchless for great magnifying power and sharpness of definition. Prices from 30s each, at Callaghan's, 23A, New Bond- street, W. ( corner of Conduit- street).— N. B. Sole agent for the celebrated race and field glasses made by Voigtlander, Vienna. Field glasses made expressly for India, warranted to withstand the greatest tropical heat. The new aluminium mounted glasses ( as made for H. R. H. the Prince of Wales), though of the largest size, weigh but a few ounces. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY AND TUESDAY.- Beyond the forwarding of a few bills nothing of importance occurred. THURSDAY-— A long discussion took place on the subject of the dismissal of the late judges of the Supreme Council in the Ionian Islands, but nothing of interest transpired. " HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY— THE EXHIBITION.— Mr AYRTON moved a reso- lution that the purchase- money of the land at Kensington shwuid be applied by " the Commissioners of the Great Exhibition, of 1851" towards discharging the liabilities of the commission ; and that the commission should be determined, and the property now held by the commission be vested in the Crown, subject to any interests therein and to any charges thereon. In support of the motion, he entered upon a history, critical and satirical, of the circumstances under which the commissioners of 1851 became possessed of the land at Kensington, of their connection in a kind of partnership as co- proprietors with the State, of the dissolution of the partnership, and of the subsequent operations of the com- missioners, down to the recent vote of the house. He then pointed out the conditions and implied responsibilities which the country had incurred in the late purchase of a portion of the land, insisting that the public interests ought not to be placed in subserviency to a body of commissioners, and that Parliament should put an end to the exist- ing state of things, get rid of this excrescence of a commission, and,' treating this as national propert} 7, should transfer it to the Crown. He maintained the right of Parliament to adopt such a course of proceeding, and justified its expediency. — Mr LOWE explained the nature and provisions of the charter of the commission, which could be revoked, he observed, by the same legal process as the charters of other trusts. But the house was asked by its resolution alone to put an end to this charitable corporation, composed of some of the most distinguished persons in the country, and which had been presided over by the late Prince Consort. Such a body was entitled to respect and con- sideration, and should be spared the harsh terms applied to it by Mr Ayrton. The commission of 1851 was not, as Mr Ayrton had supposed, the same as that of 1862 ; the two were totally distinct. He examined the charges alleged against the commissioners, stating what they had done, and the situation of their affairs, urging that it would be an unprecedented act for the house in this summary manner to dissovle the commission without any proof whatever of misconduct or malversation.— The resolution was supported by Mr H. SEYMOUR and opposed by Mr T. BARING, who thought the proposition in the resolution a monstrous one.— Upon a division the resolution was negatived by 165 to 42. CHINA.— Lord NAAS, in calling attention to the state. of affairs in China, in the hope, he said, of eliciting some information upon the subject from Her Hajesty's Government, began by noticing the tendency of the people of China to rebel against the consti- stuted authorities, and the long protracted political disorders which accompanied the change of dynasties. He then adverted to the Taeping movement and its causes, the chief of which he con- sidered had been our interference with the affairs of the country, thereby rendering the Government contemptible in the eyes of the people, and forcing the opium trade. He proceeded to discuss the policy we had pursued in China since the Taeping movement, and to show that whereas, at the beginning, our policy had been declared to be one of strict neutrality and non- interference, step by step that policy had been abandoned, and we had interfered in every way in Chinese affairs, eo- operating with the Imperialists and attacking the rebels. To establish this position he gave a nar- rative of military operations in the maritime provinces of China, and complained that certain of the Chinese institutions, such as the department of the Customs, as well as a military force, had been Europeanised, pointing out the evils and dangers of such a policy, and the objections to the employment of British officers in the service of the Emperor of China. He urged the inevitable conse- quences of such an interference in the political, financial, and military affairs of one country by another, which had been strongly condemned by persons best acquainted with China, and the fruits of which might, he said, be discerned in what had hap- pened in India. After dwelling upon the effect which the new policy adopted in China would have upon our relations with other powers, and of the encouragement and justification it would offer to Russia and France to intermeddle in the affairs of the Chinese empire, he, in conclusion, impressed upon the house that it was a policy which would seriously impair the British character in the opinion of the people of China, and prejudice the interests of British commerce. — Sir H. VERNJEY was of opinion that we had interfered in China merely to protect British interests and the lives and pro- perty of our own countrymen.— Mr LAYARD said he had no mis- giving as to the policy pursued by Her Majesty's Government in China— a policy he had heard recommended in that house, that of treating China as a civilised nation. We had now a Minister at Pekin, and carried on direct communications with the Central Government. Our policy had two objects, one to restore public tranquillity in China, " the other to secure the observance of treaties, by convincing the Chinese that it was as much for their interest as for ours. It was part of our policy to support the Liberal party in China, at the head of which was Prince Kung. In carrying out our policy, Mr Bruce, our Minister, had encoun- tered great difficulties. One of the objections urged by Prince Kung to the adoption of measures he recommended was the in- ternal disorders in China. " Help us," he said, " to put down the rebellion, and to manage our finances, and we shall be able to do what you require." Mr Layard adverted to the character he had ascribed on former occasions to the Taepings, repeating that they were unable to found a government, and that, according to the testimony of witnesses of all classes, they were loose bands of mere plunderers. He showed the difficult position in which our officials in China were placed in relation to the rebels, and defended the course taken by them, and the placing the Customs under the direction of Mr Lay. He accounted for the outcry raised in China against the introduction of the foreign element into the management of the Customs by the check it imposed upon frauds and smuggling, though it was a great boon to the British trader. He contended that the authorising of British officers to organise Chinese troops, and to enter the service of the Emperor, was no violation of neutrality, and that the policy pur- sued by Her Majesty's Government was a just and humane policy, and one that, so far from causing war, would prevent war. His conclusion from letters of recent date was, he said, that the Tae- ping rebellion was gradually dying out, and, looking at what was taking place, he had sanguine hopes of China.— Lord PALMER- STON also defended the Government, and the subject then dropped. FORTIFICATIONS.— In the committee on Fortifications and Works, Lord PALMERSTON moved the following resolution:— '' That, towards providing a further sum for defraying the expenses of the construction of works for the defence of the royal dock- yards and arsenals, and of the ports of Dover and Portland, and for the creation of a central arsenal, a sum not exceeding £ 650,000 be charged upon the Consolidated Fund, and that the Commis- sioners of the Treasury be authorised and empowered to raise the said sum by annuities, for a term not exceeding 30 years." He observed that the sum voted last year was not yet expended, and that, with the sum now asked for, it would enable the Government to carry on the works.— The resolution was agreed to. TUESDAY.— THE SALMON FISHERIES ( IRELAND) BILL passed through committee. PUBLIC WORKS.— Mr COCHRANE moved a resolution to the effect that the large sums annually voted for public buildings and improvements in the metropolis were not expended in a satisfac- tory manner; and that, with a view to the efficiency of the Office of Works, it should be constituted on a different basis. The hon member enumerated several instances of mismanagement in the department of Works involving delay and increased expenditure, and amongst others he mentioned that £ 30,000 had been voted by Parliament for a memorial to the late Duke of Wellington in St Paul's Cathedral, but nothing of that description had yet been heard of. He also complained that land had been sold in Carlton- gardens for one- third of its value, and referred te circumstances connected with Burlington House, Buckingham Palace, the Na- tional Gallery, and the Serpentine, as illustrating the state of things of which he complained. The Chief Commissioners were not in office on an average for more than two years, and every change entailed corresponding alterations in the plans agreed upon. This entailed a waste of public money, and, although all agreed as to the evil, there was a difference of opinion as to the best remedy. He concluded by recommending the appoint- ment of a permanent commission.— Mr COWPER explained that the responsibility of replying to nearly all the com- ments of Mr Cochrane devolved upon his predecessors in office. The single exception was the Serpentine, the state of which could not be helped unless Parliament would make a grant of money for cleansing it. For the sale of the land in Carlton- gardens he must refer the hon member to the Commissioners of Land Revenue for an explanation. Mr Cowper defended gene- rally the action of the Board of Works, and he contended that there was no connection between the complaints of the hon mem- ber and the constitution of the commission, of which he expressed his approval.— The motion, upon a division, was negatived by 116 to 24. The house was soon afterwards counted out. WEDNESDAY— POISONING GAME AND SMALL BIRDS.— Mr PAULL, in moving the second reading of the Poi- soned Grain, & e, Prohibition Bill, showed the injurious conse- quences of the wholesale destruction of small birds in foreign countries, in the enormous increase of insect life, and the ruin of crops thereby ; and he read communications to prove that this indiscriminate slaughter was going on at an alarming rate in this country by the use of poisoned grain, which destroyed not only rooks and crows, but pigeons and poultry, and even pigs and dogs. It was not his intention, he said, to interfere with the game laws or with the legitimate obj cts of agriculture in the em ployment of dressings or the steeping of seed corn ; and he ex- plained some modifications of the bill which he intended to pro- pose in committee.— The motion was seconded by Mr C. FORSTER. — Mr Caird was favourable to the object of the bill, but suggested points in which alterations were required — Sir H. STRACEY ob- served that a large destruction of small birds was caused by the prizes given by sparrow clubs.— After further discussion, Sir G. GREY said the great difficulty was that the house did not know what the bill was. At present it went far beyond its professed object. To that object he was favourable, and he should vote for the second reading upon the understanding that the bill, with the proposed amendments, should be reprinted.— Ultimately the bill was read a second time. TESTING ANCHORS AND CABLES.— Mr LAIRD moved the second reading of the Anchors and Chain Cables Bill, the object of which was to provide by tests a more effectual security that the material of which these important articles were made should be of the best quality. He dwelt upon the large pecuniary in- terests and the amount of human life involved in the question.— The motion was seconded by Mr CAVE, who replied to anticipated objections.— Mr LINDSAY pointed out the difficulties which would attend a system of Government tests. He never saw, lie said, a more crude measure, and he believed it would be impossible for the Board of Trade to carry it out. He moved to defer the second read- ing for three months.— Mr HOBSFALL supported the bill, which, after a division, in which the numbers were, for 119, against 44, was read a secend time. THURSDAY— FORTIFICATIONS.— Lord PALMERSTON, in moving the second reading of the Fortifications ( Provision for Expenses) Bill, stated that the works had been making consider- able progress, and that on the whole there had been a small saving in the estimated amount. He suggested that the commit- tee would be the proper stage for the discussion of the question as to the Spithead forts.— Sir F. SniiTH moved as an amendment a resolution " That no further expenditure be incurred for the present upon that part of the project for fortifications which is based on the assumption that an enemy might land in force and attempt to besiege Portsmouth and Plymouth, except on such works as are in a very advanced state of progress.'' He supported the view upon which the resolution was founded by a train of professional arguments, pointing out the large expenditure that would be incurred for objects which he held to be unnecessary. Having looked at the question, he said, with great calmness and attention, hehad thought it his duty to put this resolution upon the paper, and commended it to the consideration of the house.— Sir DE LACY EVANS could not go the length of Sir F. Smith, who had, he thought, placed too much reliance upon our fleet. The Government were bound to tike other precautions for the defence of our arsenals, and he hoped they would not arrest the progress of the works; but they would do well to place some re- strictions upon their engineers and professional men.— The Marquis of HARTINGTON replied to Sir F. 8mith, observing that the main object of the land forts was, in the case of an attempt by an invading force against our arsenal, to enable our volunteer and militia forces to arrest the enemy, and to compel him to en- cumber himself with a heavy siege train.— Mr COBDEN opposed the bill, and a long discussion took place, at the conclusion of which Lord PALMERSTON proceeded to vindicate, in reply to Mr Cobden, the policy he had advocated for providing for the defence of the country, and observed that he could not imagine anything more amnsing than to read the speeches in that house declaring the in- vasion of this country to be utterly impossible. Did the Duke of Wellington think it impossible ? Quite the contrary. The diffi- culties of invasion had been much exaggerated ; but if our dock- yards were defended against a coup de main, an invading force would be driven to the larger and less practicable operation. Sup- posing a small force running to our undefended dockyards, de- stroying them, and then surrendering, this would be no compen- sation for the loss. The Government had taken the opinions of a number of military and naval men, who had repeatedly delibe- rated upon the subject, and they had acted upon their opinions in adopting the system of defence which they had recommended as essential to the security of our dockyards.— Upon a division, the amendment was negatived by 132 to 61.— The bill was then AUGMENTATION OF BENEFICES.— Lord PALMERSTON, in moving the second reading of the Augmentation of Benefices Bill, sent from the Lords, said its object was to authorise the sale of 320 small livings in the gift of the Lord Chancellor, and to ap- ply the purchase money to the augmentation of those and other livings, an object greatly calculated to promote the interests of the Church. The bill, after some discussion and a division, was read a second time, and the house adjourned. THE DRAMA. HEK MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— The first peiformance of " Norma'' for this season has taken place, and served to introduce Signor G- aremia Bettini as Pollio, and it is a pleasure to record his success in every respect. He was engaged some years since at Vhe Royal Italian Opera, and exhibited great talents as a tenore robusto of true quality and extensive compass of voice. On the present occasion his singing was excellent, whether in the opening cavatina, the trio with Norma and Adelgisa, or in the final exact- ing duett with the ill- fated heroine of the opera. Mdlle Titiens has rarely been heard to more advantage as the Druid Priestess, ner voice was in capital order, and the energy which she threw into the superb " Casta Diva,'' and into the grand trio which con- cludes the first act of the opera, met with its reward by the excited applause with which the audience rewarded her efforts. It is seldom that the part of Adelgisa is so satisfactorily represented as by Mdlle Artot, who undertook it we believe on a short notice, and who proved herself the great artiste she is by investing it with all the graces and beauty of the most cultivated style of singing. A new basso, Signor Bagagiolo, was to have appeared as Oroveso, but was prevented by indisposition. Signor Bossi supplied his place very satisfactorily. A new ballet divertisse- ment, entitled " L'Enfant de l'Armee," followed the epera, and served as a pretty vehicle to display the piquante Mdlle Pocchini with her fascinating pas, and also the corps de ballet, dressed in semi- military fashion. On Tuesday last, after an absence of many years from the Italian Opera stage, Mr Sims Reeves made his appearanceas Edgardo, in Donizetti's " Lucia'diLammermoor," and delighted his very numerous audience by testifying that he has lost none of that great breadth of style and fluency of execution which won him so many admirers in the days gone by. Mr Reeves was especially happy in the grand duett in the first act, and in the beautiful'closing act of the opera, where his delivery of the famous " Fra poeo,'' in jnezza voce tones, roused the hearts of all hearers, and brought the death scene to a close amidst a furore of applause, to allay which, indeed, the great English tenor had to put in two appearances after the fall of the curtain. Meanwhile the manager is not idle, and though the regular season is over, promises to give the public a fine performance of " Oberon," the cast embracing the names of Madame Alboni, Mdlle Volpini, Mdlle Trebelli, Mdlle Titiens, Mr Sims Reeves, Mr Santley, Signor Bettini, and M Gassier. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—" FAUST."— A second and third hearing of this very fine operatic work disposes us to think still more favourably of it, and to commend the magnifi- cent way in which Mr Gye has mounted it. Upon no previous occasion have the several instrumentalists which compose the band been heard to so great an advantage, the accompaniments being to the full as rich as they well could be. Then what praise would be thought overmuch for the elaborate beauty of the scenery, and the various accessories which go to make up some of the most perfect inisa en scenes which have ever been witnessed on the lyric stage. As to the principal artistes, our predilection still rests with the representatives of the characters of Mar- guerite and Mephietophiles ; both Madame Miolan Carvalho and M Faure seem to have made these parts a complete study. The calm demeanour and simpleness of heart of the German maiden are toucliingly delineated, and that she can feel when a necessity for emotion displays itself is shown when she views the brilliant contents of the jewel casket, and also in the last scene of the opera, where she repulses the advances of Faust and the fiend. No vocal display can surpass Madame Carvalho's execution of the air des HJoux, with its brilliant cabaletta, nor can anything be more suggestively beautiful than her singing of the concluding passages in the garden duett, " Tardi si fa addio." Every pose, every atti- tude of M Faure is a picture ; it is a masterly performance, full of picturesqueness, grandeur, and intelligence. We prefer his exe- cution of the mocking serenade " Tu che fai l'addormentata" to the apparently more popular song in praise of gold, " Diodell' or," which obtains a nightly encore. If, as some critics assert, M Gounod is the composer whose setting of this Goethe legend is the only acceptable one, so M Faure must be credited as the one genuine artiste who has truly conceived and artistically carried out the meaning of the poet and musician as embodied in the part of Mephistophiles. Signor Graziani shows unwonted emo- tion as Valentine, and in the death scene ( one of the gems of the opera) sings and declaims with a spirit and intensity equal to the opportunity for their display. The scenes are in Mr Beverley's best style, the dresses, decorations, and minute details worthy all that the management have ever done, and the groupings by Mi- Harris are wonderfully lifelike. THE STRAND THEATHE.— A sort of minor version of " Aurora Floyd," under £ the fearb of a two act drama, entitled " While There's Life There's Hope," and written by Mr John Brougham, is the latest novelty here. This piece is also, as^ regards its plot, similar to the drama of " The Dark Cloud," written by Mr Sketchley, and produced at the St James's Theatre some time since. Mr Smiler ( Mr W. H. Swanborough) is the hypocritical nephew of Mr Adam Greenleaf ( Mr Vollaire), and employs as his tool one Rupert Wolfe ( Mr Parselle) to undermine the happi- ness of his uncle, the latter having married a young wife, Rose ( Miss L. Thorne), and Rupert having at one time been a favoured admirer of the young lady. A compromising note, picked up by Chatterton Drake ( Mr G. Honey), a dentist, fails to shake the confidence of the husband ; but a planned interview, in which he fancies Rose to be guilty, would have its effect but for the remorse of Rupert, who disarranges Mr Smiler's pretty plans, and pro- claims the innocence of the aunt. The drama is of a more serious stamp than those we are accustomed to see at this house, and the language is an attempt at still greater elevation. It is only fair to state that its success was undoubted, and that the actors did their best to ensure it. Mr Vollaire made his first appearance as the husband, and acquitted himself of his part with much judg- ment ; whilst Miss Thorne as the wife, and Mr Parselle as the ci- devant lover, acted well up to him. Miss Bufton played the part of a peace- making widow, and looked as pretty and interesting as ever ; and Miss Ada Swanborough and Miss Fanny Hughes, as a newly- wedded and squabbling pair, gave a comic element to the drama. MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS.— The fifth season of these most excellently- conducted entertainments came to a close on Monday night, when St James's Hall was filled with a brilliant and atten- tive audience. Mr Chappell deserves the thanks of the lovers of all good music for the zeal he has displayed, and the care he has exercised, in adapting the concerts to the taste of a public who have been proved to be as discerning as they are indisputably desirous of being well entertained. The last concert was remark- able for the performance of very many choice morceaux. Amidst these we must particularly notice the very brilliant duet for two pianofortes, on airs from Weber's lovely" " Preciosa,'' the joint composition of Mendelssohn and Moscheles, and played by Madame Arabella Goddard and M Charles Halle ; Beethoven's romance in F, played by M Auer, a young and new violinist, Mendelssohn's quartet in D, and Haydn's in B minor, Handel's suite de pieces, played by Madame Goddard, and encored ; and Bach's prelude, by Signor Piatti; and a selection of Bagatelles by Beethoven, by M Hall< § . Mr Sims Reeves sang Mozart's " Delia sua pace," and a charming song by Sterndale Bennett, called " Sing, maiden, sing.'' Madame Sainton- Dolby gave Clierubini's " O salutaris hostis" with grand effect, and was encored in Haydn's Spirit Song, Miss Banks had the same honour for her execution of Schubert's " Hark, hark the lark," and a song by Glinka. Mr Benedict conducted. A better concert has rarely been heard in the course of this season. MR AND MRS CHARLES KEAN.— These accomplished and esti- mable tragedians left England for Melbourne on Monday, July 9, taking their departure from Liverpool in the Champion of the Seas. Miss Chapman and Messrs Everett and Catheart have ac- companied them. MR BUCKSTONE'S BENEFIT.— We perceive that our friend, Mr Buckstone, of the Theatre Royal Haymarket, has fixed his benefit for Wednesday, July 15, when he promises such an entertainment as must satisfy the appetite of the most voracious seeker after amusement. To say that the programme will ensure a bumper would be absurd, seeing that Buckstone's own popularity, were he unsupported by his talented company, would ensure him this reward for his arduous services. DEATH OF MR MULREADY, R. A.— We regret to announce the death, on Tuesday, J uly 7, at Lindon- grove, Bayswater, of the veteran artist, Mr W. Mulready. The deceased, who was in his 78th year, was born at Ennis, in Ireland, and was admitted a student of the Royal Academy when only fourteen years of age. His works are, perhaps, as familiar to the British public as those of any modern artist. The Vernon Gallery is rich in examples ef his genius, as are also the Sheepshanks' and the royal collections. A NEW KNAPSACK.— We have just inspected a new pa'tent knapsack, brought out by Messrs Silver and Co, outfitters, of Cornhill and Bishopsgate- street, which is well worthy the atten- tion of volunteers and others, but more especially of tourists who are about to foot it among our own lakes and mountains, or in foreign countries. The knapsack is much lighter than those generally in use, is perfectly waterproof, very roomy, and,^ unlike the ordinary Mackintosh knapsacks, is so constructed that'it can- not get out of shape and resemble a bundle of rags, a peculiarity which is too often observable in the old- fashioned article. The arrangement of straps, too, is far superior to anything we have seen; they are contrived to fit well on to the shoulders, and to distribute the weight equally, and at the same time, although fixing the knapsack close to the back, ventilation is amply pro- vided for. Wre can without hesitation commend the production to our readers. FATAL ACCIDENT WITH FIRE ARMS.— On Tuesday an inquest was held at the Clarence, Penton- place, on the body of Henry Taylor, aged 19, shot by the accidental discharge of a revolver.— Harriet Briscow, living in service at Mr Green's, of Carlton- terrace, Brixton- road, said that on the 23d of June last, she was at her master's house, removing goods from Foxley- villa to that house. She was assisted by other persons, one of whom was Frederick Coldman. Some of the goods had been brought into the house, but not all. While on the second flight of stairs with Coldman, she met a young woman with a drawer in her hands. On the top were some brushes, and Mr Coldman said witness had better take them off', lest they should be mislaid. She took them off, and then saw a revolver in the drawer, and Mr Coldman said it was a dangerous thing, and that he wondered if it was loaded, as, if so, there might be an accident. He took it out of the drawer and pointed it downstairs. He pulled the trigger, but it did not go off, and he pulled the trigger a second time, and the pistol went off', and Mr Coldman exclaimed. " My God, what have I done?" He rushed downstairs and witness followed him, when they saw Taylor standing on the mat. From the position he was in she did not think Coldman could have seen him, as he had a drawer on his head. Taylor groaned, and the other directed a surgeon to be sent for, who, on examining him, found a wound in the abdomen. The deceased went on favourably till the fol- lowing Wednesday, when he became suddenly worse, and died on Thursday. Verdict— Accidental Death. MURDER OF THREE CHILDREN AND SUICIDE OF THE MUR- DERESS AT BATH.— A case of this kind took place on the canal, in the parish of Bathampton, on Monday afternoon. A woman named Cole, living on Salloway Bridge, prompted by poverty, so it is said, took out her three children, aged six and three years, and six months, and, having drowned them in the canal, threw herself in after them, and by the time the bodies could be got out they were lifeless. The deed was committed close to the stone bridge crossing the water, a little beyond the Folly Tavern, a rather lonely part of the canal bank. No one was passing at the time, and attention was attracted to the sad affair by the screams ef the eldest child. On a man from an adjoining field running up he found the woman and children in the water, and with assist- ! ance three of them were got out. It was not till word was sent from the Folly Tavern, where the woman had called and had a half pint of beer, that it was known that there was another body not recovered. The drags were then used, and the body of an infant picked up. Life was quite extinct, as they had been in the water half an hour or more. The husband of the deceased woman resided some years ago at Larkhall, and the family seemed then to have been in well- to- do circumstances. From thence he went to Bristol and opened a public- house, but this venture not only did not succeed, but proved a failure. The family have latterly depended on the husband's earnings as a carver and gilder, but have suffered great penury. This appears to have influenced the poor woman's mind, and led her to contemplate and threaten self- destruction— a determination which, unfortunately, she car- ried out as above detailed. HOP INTELLIGENCE.— MAIDSTONE.— The bine still continues to grow, but there is a considerable increase of vermin. Honeydew is also making its appearance, but mould dees not appear to spread. The present weather is very favourable for recovery. Canterbury: Last week's sunshine has caused the hops to make a steady progress, and the midsummer shoots look strong and healthy. In some grounds vermin are numerous, but as yet have done very little damage. Stripping is now being pursued in most plantations.— South Eastern Gazette. Sussex: In a good many plantations in this county there was an increase in vermin last week, but a continuation of the present hot, sunny weather can hardly fail to do much towards ridding them of the pest. Should this prove to be the case, the appearance of the bine would war- rant the anticipation of a full average crop. Worcester: The plan- tation favourable, the bine looking healthy and strong, and at present promising a fair average crop. The Continent: A letter from Nuremberg ( Bavaria) states that should fine weather con- tinue, a small average crop of hops may be expected, sufficient for home consumption, leaving little, perhaps, for exportation. Consumption, and all nervous, bilious, liver, and 6tomach com- plaints 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 6,000 cases which had been considered hopeless.

PEDESTRIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK. MONDAY, JULY 6.— There was a good muster of the admirers of this athletic pastime assembled on J. Bautn's enclosed ground to- day, when the following events were decided:— QUARTER OF A MILE HANDICAP.— This was for prizes given for competition by the proprietor, and the pedestrians, who had been handicapped by W. Price, the M. C., ran thus:— First heat: Crudgington from scratch, Sutton 40 yards start, Horn 40, Banks 35, Biake 40. A capital race, terminating in Sutton being the winner, Crudgington second.— Second heat: Richards ( Welshman) 12, Wood 35, Barton 40, Naughton 50. Naughton held the lead throughout, and after a well- contested struggle with Woods went in a fine winner.— Third heat: Firth 40, Keefe 45, Martin 45, Williams 40. This ended in the victory of Keefe, Williams finish- ing next in rotation.— Final heat: Sutton 40, Naughton 50, Keefe 45, had now to contend for final supremacy, and after a weil- cen- tested struggle they passed the goal thus— Naughton the winner, Sutton second, Keefe well up for third. FIVE MILES HANDICAP.— This event was for a silver cup, and those who had entered to contend for the prize were " weighted" by thehandicapper, W. Price, to contend thus:— S. Barker 270 yards, Brunell 300, Richards 300, Andrews 350, Jones 550, Corke'y 530. From this it will be seen the " field" consisted of a smart'half- dozen performers, and when they had been got well in position the signal for thern to go was given, and they dashed off at a spanking pace. When the first three miles had been accomplished H. Andrews and Richards were found to be the leading men ; in fact, the interest of the race now laid entirely with these competi- tors. Between them for the remainder of the distance a fine, well sustained struggle ensued for victory, and so close were they together when they went by the referee for the last time that on thatfunctionary being appealed to for his decision he declared the men had run a dead heat, and they afterwards came to an amica- ble arrangement as regards the prize. Jones, who had likewise run remarkably well throughout, was the next in rotation to pass the goal. MILE RACE.— This was for a silver watch, confined to novices, so that it will suffice to say Baddeley won, Giddens next, there being 14 others who started, many of whom, however, did not by any means take to the " work kindly," as they pulled up and re- tired long before they had gone anj thing like the distance. In addition to the above there was also a 100 yards handicap, for small money prizes, which, after seme fine racing, was in the final heat won by Crudgington. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. ROBERTS AND Cox.— On Saturday, July 4, these men attended C. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, to run 300 yards, for £ 10 a side, there being present a good muster of the Metro- politans. The betting was 6 to 4 on Cox, and there was a good deal of the circulating medium speculated on the result, the partisans of both being extremely confident. When the umpires and referee had been chosen the competitors came to the mark, when Roberts, who had to receive three yards start, was placed the given distance in advance. The pedestrians had to start them- selves, and after remaining at their respective marks some ten minutes got fairly away, Roberts, from the superior quickness of his movements, snatching an " extra bit" to the start allowed. The result of the match is soon told, for the men had not covered more than something like 40 yards when Cox had the misfortune to overstep himself, and owing to this fell heavily. Roberts, in consequence of this mishap to his opponent, had nothing more to do than run over the distance by himself, and thus became the winner. CLARKE V TIME.— On Monday, July 6, there was again a good muster assembled here to witness the match against Time, in which Clarke of Shoreditch had been backed for a bet of £ 10 even to walk fair heel and toe seven miles in 61min. Tha odds were 6 to 4 on Clarke, and there was a good deal of the needful invested. J. Pudney of Mile End discharged the duties of time- keeper, Jacques, the pedestrian, acting as referee. All things being ready Clarke started, and went off in a remarkably fine style, accomplishing the first mile in 8min; two miles, 16min 24sec; three miles, 25min 5sec ; four miles, 33min 50sec ; and the first five miles in 42inin 45sec. From the commanding and easy style in which Clarke had walked this portion of the match, his friends became more sanguine than ever as to the re- sult, and odds were now offered that he accomplished his task ; but there was no response from those who had backed " the enemy." Clarke continued the struggle at the same winning pace, in no way displaying the slightest falling off, six miles being completed in 5lmin 30sec, and the whole of the distance was ac- complished in lh lOsec; so that on the termination of the match Clarke, it was found, according to official time had won with 50sec to the good, and this for a pedestrian of his pretensions cannot be regarded otherwise than as a highly creditable performances. PEDESTRIANISM AT WANDSWORTH. WILLINGS AND DAVIS.— On Monday, July 6, there was a good attendance on this enclosed ground to witness the match between the above pedestrians, who had to walk five miles, for £ 5 a side, each man having to carry 281b. The odds were 5 to 4 on Willings, but there was not much money laid out. Mr Vick acted as referee, and all being ready, the competitors came to the scratch. Davis had to be allowed two minutes, and on being told to go he put OH the high pressure in an unmis- takable manner, so as to make the most of the start, and when the allotted time had expired he had succeeded in placing a for- midable gap between himself and opponent. On Willings getting to work, he soon gave proof he was infinitely superior to his opponent in speed, for from the commencement he gained upon him in a most decided maimer, and had so altered their relative positions that when two miles and a half of the distance had been accomplished he had succeeded in wresting the lead from him. The interest of the match was now over, for Davis, when he had been forced to resign the lead, fell rapidly in the rear, and finding he had no chance of winning, gave up when about three miles of the distance had been accomplished. Willings did not go quite the whole of the remainder of the distance, as J. Miles of Brixton, who backed Davis for this little match, stopped Willings, and told him that he did not require him to walk on, as his man had been fairly beaten. VICTORIA RACE GROUNDS, LEEDS. P.

Wheat is changing colour in many places, and some of the early sorts will be ready for the sickle ere the month is finished. All the ac- counts agree in stating that it will be an early and unusually abundant harvest. The markets in the provinces have been very moderately sup- plied with Wheat, In consequence of farmers being too much occupied with the hay harvest. The transactions have been very limited through- out the country, and in a great number of towns prices have declined Is per qr. The value of Barley has been about supported ; but Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour have exhibited a tendency to give way with the decline in Wheat. The total supply of English Wheat, & c, at Mark- lane this week has been very short, and, with the exception of Oats, the imports have been trifling. The Wheat trade to- day was very dull, and prices unsettled, the tendency being in buyers' favour. The same remark wlil apply to Flour. Barley was in slow request at unaltered rates. There was a fair inquiry for fine Oats at former rates, other sorts being cheaper. Beans heavy at Monday's decline of Is per qr. Peas lower.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, THURSDAY.— At market to day there was a very fair supply of Beasts as to number, but their general quality was middling. All breeds met a dull inquiry at Mon- day's decline in the quotations. The top figure for Scots was 5s pen' 81b. The show of Sheep moderately extensive, and the Mutton trade was in ' a sluggish state, at barely stationary prices. The best Downs sold ft% 5s 2d uer 81b. Good and prime Lambs sold freely at extreme curren- cies. ' Inferior were dull of sale. Calves moved off heavily, at 2d per 81b less money, owing to the large number on offer. Prices range from 3s 6d to 4s 6d per 81b. Pigs and milch Cows rather dull, at late prices. Beef— Inferior coarse Beasts, 3s 4d to 3s 8d; second quality, 3s 10 j to 4a 4d; prime large Oxen, 4s 6dt, o is 8d; prime Scots 4s lud to 5s 0d, Sheep— Inferior coarse Sheep, 3s 6d to 3s 8J; second quality, 4? 44 to 43 Sd; orime coarse woolled, 4sl0dto5a0d; prime South Down 5s Od. 5s 2< i.

HOP MARKET, BOROUGH.— The accounts from the plantations where the Hon plant has had a healthy appearance from the first are very satisfactory ; but the grounds that are blighted exhibit very little pros pect of recovery. The trade, however, has not improved and, with the exception of the finest samples, ' prices gave way 3s to 5s per cwt.— Mid and East Kent, per cwt, £ 3 I5g to £ 10 0; Weald of Kent £ 3 is to £ 7 58 : Sussex, £ 3 103 to 17.

The building u now occupied by the Royal Society, the Senate of the University of London, the Linna; an Society, and the Che- mical Society. Certain volunteer corps are allowed to drill in the gardens, and in a temporary building which they have been per- mitted to erect, there for that purpose.

SPORTING CHRONICLE. LATEST EDITION.] THE TURF. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S. MONDAY, JULY 6 — Many of the members having quitted town for Newmarket, the Room was not very numerously at- tended, and those present for the most part devoted their energies more to the squaring up the accounts of the past week than to speculation on the future, which for some time was very languid. Eventually, however, some wagering took place, and one or two significant movements were made before breaking up. For the July Stakes, 6 to 4 was betted on The Scottish Chief, and 6 to 1 • was taken about his winning that event and Buckstone the Good- wood Cup. Carisbrook found backers at 100 to 15 for the Liver- pool Cup, although his stable companion, Fantail, was also in- vested on at 12 to 1. After Carisbrook, Joey Jones, Imperatrice, and Oakapple were occasional^- touched upon at the price quoted below. Anfleld was once more the leading favourite for the Good- wood Stakes, and Bellman advanced to 11 to 1, while Knutsford, per contra, retired to offers of 100 to 6. The betting on the Good- wood Cup presented no fresh phase from previous quotations. The Banger remained firm for the St Leger, and the tide of opposition set in so strong against Lord Clifden that after 14 to 1 had been taken in order to stem the same, he was driven to 100 to 6, the report being current that the horse had seriously injured himself while at exercise, and 6 to 4 was laid that he did not start at Don- caster. This movement was scarcely unexpected, for the state of the market towards the end of last week, when odds so liberal were proffered as to become suspicious were indicative that there was a " screw loose" somewhere. Those determined to" be on'' The Scottish Chief for the Derby before making his second ap- pearance on the morrow for the July Stakes, were compelled to invest at 9 to 1. The only other wager thereon was 100 to 6 about Blair Athol. THURSDAY, JULY 10.— NO attendance. LIVERPOOL CUP. MONDAY. THURSDAY. Oftiiabrook K.

In consequence of the Liverpool Meeting commencing on Mon- day next, the Room was opened this afternoon for the purpose of settling the Newmarket accounts and the transaction of other business; the muster, however, was very limited. For the Liverpool Oup the current offer against Oakapple was 9 to 2, but just at the close half a point more was obtainable; while Joey Jones was tolerably firm at II to 2, although 6 to I was the last bet booked about him. 8 to 1 would have been taken either about Victor or Knave, and 9 to 1 to £ 200 was taken in one bet about Fantail— Carisbrook having joined the retired list. Erin go Bragh was in- vested on at 100 to 7, and Flytrap at 100 to 6. 5 to 4 was laid re- peatedly on the first four favourites. Anfield, who had been backed in the City at 9 to 2, retrogressed to offers of 6 to 1 for the Goodwood Stakes, and after 10 to 1, to a " century," had been booked about Knutsford, layers reduced their offers to 8 to 1. For the Goodwood Cup 4 to 1 was offered on the field. At 6 to 1 La Toucques was supported once or twice, as waslsolineathalf apoint more. 100 to 8 was registered once about Atherstone, and 100 to 6 about Carnival. The only bet made on the 8t Leger was 40 " fifties'' about Bonny Bell, and the Derby wagering was confined to a bet of 20 " ponies'' about Coup d'Etat.

THE WIDOW OF ARTHUR PAVIS. The fallowing is a copy of a letter posted in the usual place at ' l'attersaU's on Monday last :— " Lonsdale House, Fulliam, June 15, 1863. " The dowager Lady Shelley has begun a subscription for the daughter of James Edwards, the late Sir John Shelley's trainer, who also trained for the Earl of Jersey for many years. She is the widow of Arthur Pavis, who died at the age of 48, leaving her with five children twenty years ago. The illness and death of all ker children, except one, who is in Australia, and unable to assist her, obliged her to give up her home at Newmarket, and she is MOW in a state of destitution, requiring immediate relief, until she can obtain an annuity from the Bentinck Fund, for which she is making application, " Mr Weatherby has kindly undertaken to take charge of subscriptions, and the following noblemen and gentlemen have stated their intention of giving her assistance:— General Peel ( to whom Arthur Pavis was a yearly servant), the Earl of Zetland, Charles F. Greville, Esq, and Admiral Rous." | We have much pleasure in calling attention to the above kind arilfl considerate letter of Lady Shelley, and trust that " the widow of Arthur Pavis" may be substantially benefited by her ladyship's generous exertions in her behalf.] BETTING AT MANCHESTER— FRIDAY NIGHT, (£ Y ELECTS IC TELEGRAPH.)

AECIIERY: NATIONAL MEETING AT OXFORD, & C. FEDESTEIANISM, CRICKET. OHESS, THE TOMATO CASE.— The opinion given by Mr O'Malley as to the legality of re- opening this case not being considered suffi- ciently explicit te solve the difficulty experienced by the com- mittee of Tattersall's, the question will probably be referred to the arbitration of the Earl of Derby and the Earl of Zetland, pro- Tided these noblemen consent to act. Salvioni, 2 vrs, is turned out of training. Uncle Ned has been sold to go to Germany. Bruges Races are unavoidably postponed to Aug 23 and 25.

DURHAM RACES, 1864 — On reference to an advertisement it will be observed that the Elemore Stakes of 100 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 10 sovs each, h ft, for now yearlings, to run in 1864 as ( wo year olds, will close and name on Tuesday next, being the Tuesday after the Newmarket July Meeting. DONCASTER RACES — We are requested to state that the Great Yorkshire and Cleveland Handicaps close on Tuesday next; the Municipal, Sweepstakes of 200 sovs each, St Leger, and Zetland Stakes close and name at the same time. The St Leger is for now yearlings and will be run for in 1865, when three year olds. When looking forward to the bustle that will necessarily attend the following up of the forthcoming week's sport, the past has been one of comparative quiet, exciting as were the incidents generally attending the late Newmarket July Meeting, which was about the best ever held " the other side of the Ditch," either as regards the weather, the company, or the quantity of racing. Some of the results assumed the greatest importance, as they affected, more or less, the Goodwood events and St Leger, besides the Derby of 1864; and the betting on the latter underwent a complete revolution after the three principal two year old races were decided. Of the eight contests brought to issue on Tuesday it is only necessary to enter into the details of the July, for which the field was a respectable one, so far as looks were concerned, the ten runners comprising Scottish Chief, Midnight Mass, Becky Sharpe, Aunt Judy, and the colt by Toxopliilite out of Miss Sarah, who had been previously before the public, and the following, who came out for the first time:— Cambuscan, a colt by Newminster out of The Arrow ; the colt by Fazzoletto out of Calista ; Figaro, a colt by Fandango out of Buckenham's dam; Claremont, a colt by De Clare out of Auld Acquaintance ; and Rouge Crosse, a filly by Hobbie Noble out of Ellen Horne. The two latter hailed from Whitewall, but had not a friend bold enough to stand either, and Claremont, who had been backed for the Derby so many times, ran so badly that the prospect of his backers ever having a chance of " getting out'' is a poor one. Neither did Figaro or the Calista colt ever show in the race, and we question whether time will make a Derby horse of Baron RothscXild's, for, good- looking and improving like as he may be, he ran very unkindly. The Miss Sarah colt and Aunt Judy were, of course, out of their element in such company, and the race rested entirely between Becky Sharpe, Midnight Mass, Scottish Chief, and Cambuscan. The three that had been in public were fit as training could make them, and if as stated Cambuscan could have been made much fitter, he must be set down as a real Derby horse, close as Midnight Mass and Becky Bliarpe finished to him. He wants plenty of time, however, and his Derby backers must not be afraid if he only meets one or two of his future two year old engagements. Becky Sharpe looked as well as anything in the race for half a mile, but stopped at the hill, as at Stockbridge, and considering she was behind King George, Cceur de Lion, and Leicester there, it is im- posssible to come to any other conclusion than that the Scottish Chief is over- rated, even allowing his legs would stand a Derby preparation. As regards the minor events, it is only necessary to note that Umpire ran just kind enough to beat Wingrave for the match, and that Harlequin ran unkind enough to prevent Oberon winning the last race of the day, having swerved right in front of the latter, and compelled Wells to pull him up. On Wednesday there was an excellent card, the racing being close and interesting, a dead heat opening the ball. Water- witch showed in the six furlongs Handicap Plate she had not lost all her form, Spark only running her at all close; but one or two behind her may see a better day. Five of the speediest horses in training came out for the Stamford Plate, and neither having a penalty or allowance, it was a fair trial between them, except in the case of King of Diamonds, whose leg gave way some distance from the winning post, the break down being so bad that he will never run again. Argonaut was fractious. as ever at the start ; still, he at last got well away with the others, and, mounting the hill like a lion, proved that there was no mistake in bis de- feat of Fantastic in the spring by passing the chair first. Livingstone ran a great horse as ever, but could not compass the six furlongs, and the hill was evidently too much for Queen of Trumps, who looked like winning a distance from home. The Maiden Two Year Old Plate was quite an event, the field being the strongest of the meeting ; still the betting was only confined to three or four, and nothing went down like the " dark"' Washington and Usher, the former a descendant of the American Charleston and Languish, and the latter a brother to Governess, who carried a lump of money, in despite of its being made no secret Biroh Broom could give him 121b. He was beaten at the distance, and the winner turned up in the Brother to Canace, who was beaten so easily by Faith at Harpenden, and by Mr Alexan- der's Teddington filly at Ipswich, that neither of his opponents can be set down as more than moderate. However, the Baron's horses running at the masting up to this time had all shown signs of improvement, and in the Exeter Stakes Evelina ran better than ever, as she won very cleverly from her seven opponents, which included Crytheia, Durham, Diomed ( all good performers), and one of the Whitewall Derby team, War Dance, who ran at the Epsom Spring meeting in in such backward condition. He got badly off', and never gave those who backed him for so much money on the quiet a chance ; while Durham, another Derby crack, failed to run up to his Stockbridge form, where he beat Vacuna so easily that he should at least have been " up- sides" with Evelina, who probably pre- fers half a mile to any other course. In the Town Plate three fair horses contended— Golden Dust, Dunkeld, and Canace ; but Dunkeld was freely " peppered" by the layers before the race, and many did not like the way he struggled home with Golden Dust, who looked in trouble at the distance. It- was, at any rate, a very different result to that which attended their meeting at Northampton, when Dunkeld won in a canter by three lengths, over the same distance; and the 71b different terms on which the3T met should hardly have caused a turning of the tables; consequently, when Dunkeld comes to his form again, he will be worth looking after. The Midsummer Stakes proved of great interest, by Carnival corning somewhat unexpectedly from his retirement, which was probably owing to the reports that Sea King was " off," but Gedding will have to gallop him pretty in- dustriously to get him ready for the Goodwood Cup, even suppos- ing he is the Simon Pure of Mr Naylor, instead of his new pur- chase, Isoline. On Thursday the Chesterfield was the only event that brought out horse3 of any class, and this was almost a repetition of the July. Three of the eleven competitors started in Tuesday's race, viz, Scottish Chief, Becky Sharpe, and Rouge Crosse, and there was no " table- turning," although the Chief beat Becky further than might have been expected. To oppose these there were the fol- lowing that had never been out before :— The colt by Wild Dayrell out of Agra; the colt by Toxophilite out of Senorita; Bradamante, a filly by Voltigeur out of Doralice ; the Little Gentleman, a colt by Orlando out of Sister to Little Lady ; and Belgium, a colt by Vandermeulin out of Violet Fane; and neither made such a show in the race as Hypatia, Washington, and Crytheia, all beaten horses, the last named having sustained an easier defeat at the hands of Evelina than she did at those of the Scottish Chief, whom she ran to a length, although he won pretty cleverly. He showed some slight improvement on the July form, when measured with Becky Sliarpe; but it must be borne in mind that the Chesterfield finish is more severe than the July, and it is the hill the filly has the greatest objection to, and not the distance to be covered. When we see Crytheia " splitting" the third and fourth that ran in the July Stakes we have the correct form of Cambuscan's op- ponents ; and that it was not first- rate we have only to look at the performances of the Duke of Beaufort's filly for a proof of, as she never had a chance with Evelina for the Exeter Stakes, and was beaten- with the greatest ease by Livingstone at Bath, where she only defeated the Kennett's dam colt and Black Friar after a sharp struggle; and this form, when looked at through the Friar's running behind Birch Broom at Ascot, will make the latter about the best Derby horse that has been out. He will not im- prove, however, in anything like the same ratio as Cambuscan ; and at the Goodwood, York, or Doncaster meetings we may see something " drop from the clouds,'' and eclipse all the two year olds that have performed at present At any rate, it will not re quire an extraordinary flyer to beat the cracks of the July week that may show at these meetings, for Cambuscan is not likely to be amongst them. On Friday there was " another Neophyte" for the Ring in Waterwitch, who was not despised by her owner this time, and won so easily as to prove she is speedy as ever, and what a " good thing" she would have been for Goodwood but for the fluke on Wednesday. Old Suburban may do better at this latter meeting, for he was not fit to run here, and better days may also be in store for Bertha. The Beaufort Handicap, although producing but five starters, was a most interesting affair and a heavy betting race, the shifty Harlequin, in the hands of Fordham, running kinder than he did on Tuesday, and winning cleverly at last. Chere Amie cut up a rank jade, and the performance of Argo- naut afforded a further proof that he cannot stay. The Plate for maiden two year olds was chiefly remarkable for the winner, Lady Hylda, not being backed ; and the Queen's Plate, from the indifferent performance of Paste, who ran herself completely to a stand- still, and pulled up so leg weary at the half distance, that many thought she had broken down. Her two op- ponents were not in a much better plight after pulling up, the winner being especially pumped out. This " turn up'' closed one of the best July meetings ever held at Newmarket, and enabled backers as well as layers to return home in a pretty good humour, it being a comparatively harmless week for both parties on the whole. The " fixtures" for the forthcoming week are so numerous that the Liverpool committee are forced to commence their meeting on Monday, to the inconvenience of southern sportsmen, who must either travel all Sunday, or make a very early start on Monday morning, to reach Aintree in time for the first day's racing. However, the programme does not compel an early commence- ment, for only seven events are to come off on the first day, eight each being promised for the second and third. The Great Lancashire Produce Stakes is the most interesting item in Monday's list, arid there are several pretty good two year old performers among the thirty- four entries, which include Syren, Tomfoolery, Prescription, the Phemy filly, Lord Adol- phus, Fisherman's Daughter, and Coup d'Etat. Cutaway, the filly by Teddington out of Alicia, Black Deer, Langholm, Lady Mary, Lady Keppel, Rappel, Nimble, and the Cardinal have run badly hitherto, and the remainder are " dark." It will re- quire a pretty good one to make the 31b- allowed Coup d'Etat gallop, and it is almost reduced to a question of his going to the post, as Fisherman's Daughter is the second best on public form. The Bentinck Testimonial Handicap has Dictator for the top weight with 9st, and were it not that his stable companion Johnny Armstrong, 4 yrs, 8st 41b, is even better treated, we should not look much further for the winner, the selected of the pair stand- ing the best chance of overthrowing Gemma, 4 yrs, 7st 51b, sup- posing she " carries the money." The Sefton Handicap will suit the Queen of Trumps better, as the distance is only half a mile ; and should she represent Wad- low's stable in place of Lady Clifden, Lord Stamford will have to pull out the best of his pair— Little Lady and Cerintha— to win. The lot in the Tyro Handicap are only moderate, and it might fall to the lot of the Sabra colt or Dispute, the latter having run forward in fair company at Ascot, although the prize may not be tempting enough for him. The Sefton Stakes is at the mercy of King of Utopia. On the second day we have the Liverpool Cup, and the prospect of a good field contesting it is at present a poor one, for only Joey Jones, Carisbrook, The Knave, Victor, Barchettina, Erin go Bragh, Fantail, and Oakapple have any position in the betting yet, and more than one of these has assumed a most un- wholesome complexion within the last few hours. Catch ' em Alive, Blithefield, Flytrap, The Mountain Maid filly, Dr Syntax, and Almacks have certainly been talked about, but not backed in earnest; and as it seldom happens— especially of late years— that the " books" are not all taken about the winner of the Liverpool Cup, we dare not look beyond the first- named lot for the winner, Joey Jones performed well at New- castle, when beating The Comet at Queen's Plate weights, for presuming the latter can stay, he would beat all the three year olds were he handicapped here at 5st 121b, and then Joey would just about beat him again. His party were " forestalled" for the Cumberland Plate ; but " good money" appears to be on now. The next to him, Carisbrook, after seeing a short price, is a doubtful starter; and if the trial with Fantail were a genuine one, we can quite understand the reason, for the three year old won easily, from all accounts. Her form was not bad at Bath, where she was home a long distance before Flir- tation, atonly 211b difference in their weights; and were a genuine demonstration to be made, we should not look much further for the winner, as Carisbrook at 7st 131b would be well worth standing on, and if the stable contains a superior to him, it must be somewhere near the mark. The Knave never exhibited his ability to compete with Carisbrook over two miles at 51b ; and over his own distance Imperatrice beat him two lengths at Goodwood last July, when receiving but 31b more than he was giving her here. Erin go Bragh won two short races at Newcastle; but whether he can get two miles is another thing, and Barchettina has been tried to stay so well that she is bound to beat him, if at the post, rumours of Lord Stamford having been forestalled again being so rife that there is even a doubt about her running now. If the spell is to be broken at Aintree, and a three year old win a great handicap this year, we would rather look to such as Fantail and Oakapple, who have travelled the distance, if they never won over it. Oakapple was not quite up to the mark when he ran third for the Ascot Stakes, and, bearing this in mind, we are quite prepared to see a horse that beat Anfield last autumn win in such company as will run on Tuesday next, with Fantail and Joey Jones next. The Mersey Stakes has a couple engaged that are penalised 81b— Practitioner and Persuasion; and thus, if Young Rapid puts in an appearance, we must anticipate his defeat of the pair, fast as they are for half a mile. The Aintree Plate is subject to the Sefton and Bentinck Testi monial Handicaps, unless they come out in earnest with Anti- podes, who is almost turned loose, despite his excellent perform- ance at Chester over a short course. The Cutler is best in for the Welter Cup; but the 10 sovs Sweepstakes we must pass over, as the winner is to be sold, and there is no telling how many may be kept at home on that aecount. On Wednesday the Knowsley Stakes, a two year old race, will be constituted the feature, Young Rapid, Practitioner ( 71b extra), the Calliope colt, and The Doctor ( 71b extra), all having performed well enough to be noticed, and there may be one or two able to compete with them among the dark lot. The Doctor seems de- termined never to run kind again, and Practitioner's 71b penalty will make Young Rapid a very awkward opponent, the running of the pair in the Mersey Stakes being the best line to follow. The Knowsley Dinner Stakes should be won by King of Utopia, and Borealis has nothing to fear in the Liverpool St Leger beyond Birdfinder, who may not be allowed to oppose her. The remaining events in the programme are either incomplete or claiming races it would be injudicious to take cognisance of. Abingdon will inflict a great injury upon Liverpool by clashing with it on Tuesday and Wednesday, for the programme is an at- tractive one, with eight races on the first day and a half dozen on the second. The three- quarters of a mile Trial Stakes has a numerous entry, Queen of Trumps. 4 yrs, 9st; Golden Dust, 3 yrs, 8st 71b; Umpire, 6 yrs, 9st 71b; and Livingstone, 3 yrs, 8st 101b, being all at heme over the distance, and as the course is flat, we may see the Queen of Trumps dangerously opposing Umpire, who must be quite the equal of Argonaut to beat her at the weights, and run in the best of humours. The Berkshire Handicap has three recent winners among the ten acceptances, viz, Bally Edmond, 5 yrs, 9st 31b ; Flirtation, 5 yrs, 8st 71b ; and Turn of Luck, 4 yrs, 8st 31b; and we cannot discover one that can stay well enough to beat the trio over two miles and a distance, favourably handicapped as is Sycophant ( 5 yrs, 7st 71b). Turn of Luck beat Flirtation at 71b several lengths last autumn over the Ditch In at Newmarket, and she looks most like the winner. In the Maiden Two Year Old Stakes Mr Ten Broeck and Lord Stamford have entered a couple each, and they will probably be represented in the race; but Tomfoolery has run forward enough to good company to be worthy of notice also, and it is on the cards for him to win, in the event of Paris ( who has a great reputation) not making his advent. The minor handicaps we need not discuss, and tte Culham is the only one of importance in the second day's list, that being a pretty " good thing " on paper for Princess Vocqsal, if she can gallop at all. In the Abingdon Stakes, Black Friar, Garotter, the Catastrophe filly, Faith, and Vacuna are the cracks, and, after the gallant fight the Catastrophe filly made of it with Becky Sharpe at Ascot, she ought to beat all comers, with her 31b allowance. Hungerford is supplementary to Abingdon, and the items already completed in the programme are so dependent on the results there that we will not interfere with them. The Pontefract Meeting must give place to that of Stamford in general importance, especially when fixed for the same two days- Thursday and Friday— and we cannot notice the principal events, the Great West Riding and Pontefract Handicaps, owing to the acceptances not having come to hand. The Knottingley Stakes J. Osborne can pick up without much difficulty by the aid of Little Stag ; and the same stable may also secure the Londesborough Stakes with Vanessa, if she can turn the tables om Tarlatan for the York defeat at the difference in the weights, the same pair having the Park Hill Stakes to themselves, apparently, on the second day. The other events are unworthy of notice, being merely handi- caps of no monetary value between a lot of platers. There will be plenty to interest the world at Stamford, where we are promised seven races each day, the chief item on Thurs- day being the Burghley Handicap, which Golden Dust can hardly be expected to sustain a defeat in, if she can compass the two miles and a quarter, as Millionaire, who gives her 391b for the three years, is about the best of her opponents. In the Stamford St Leger. one mile and a quarter, there is nothing so " likely " as The Tippler, who can gallop well with a man on his back, and gets 31b the best of the weights with Vivid. A 50 sovs 8weepstakes for two year olds, is a nice little plum for Midnight Mass, which he cannot lose, after his performance at Newmarket, neither of his opponents having shown form as yet. In the Welland Stakes, for two and three year olds, the latter have all the best of the weights, at 161b for the year, and a " flyer'' like Lady Abbess should beat even the 8lb- allowed Cceur de Lion, despite her 31b penalty, the latter and Leicester being the best of the juveniles. In the Welter Handicap Erin go Bragh is not at all ill- treated, looking at his two Newcastle successes, and should Almacks be re- served for the richer Clifden Cup, there will be nothing to fear. The Rutland is only a sel! ing race, and we pass on to the second day, when the three mile Stamford Cup will be brought to issue, It has two of the Goodwood cracks in the entry— Adventurer and Isoline— but is of such little value that it may not attract either these " hard" times, Harlequin being the best of the " ragged lot." The carrying off of the Ketton Stakes is not a very difficult task for Vivid to attempt; and as Sea King was wrong at Newmarket Fantail may succeed in winning the three year old Wothorpe Biennial Stakes, that for two year olds being even an easier task for Midnight Mass. The Clifden Cup is an excellent handicap, and we can do no more for our readers concerning it than remark that in selecting " lots" to beat the field Neophyte, Bummerside, Almacks, and Kingswood must not be overlooked, the old horse being the best to stand on, even with his 31b penalty. THE TOMATO CASE. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : As it appears to be understood that the Tomato case is to be re- opened, it may not be amiss to take a brief review of what has already transpired, as well as to inquire what will devolve on the committee of Tattersall's in adjudicating upon the case when it is brought before them. According to the official record, Baron Rothschild's jockey weighed late, and Hippolyta's numVer was put up instead of Tomato's for the Fernhill Stakes. The erroneous number on the telegraph did not preclude Tomato from winning, and the stewards decided that " Tomato is the winner of the stakes," and imposed the maximum fine on her trainer for his negligence in not having the proper animal telegraphed. Some of the gentlemen who lost on the race de. clined paying their bets on the plea that if they had known Tomato was starting, they would have betted differently. Such objections are nugatory; one may declare he would have done this, that, or the other, had he not thought Hippoly ta to be the animal starting in lieu of Tomato. What arbitrators have to determine is, upon an event which occurred, and upon animals which ran, not upon declarations of parties as to how they would have betted provided other animals had run which did not run. According to the rules of betting, any of the gentlemen backing either of the animals starting would have won had such animal been the winner, consequently they must pay when losers. Without entering into the question of analogy, in cases heretofore having occurred, which is relied upon as a pre- cedent by parties advocating the annulling of the bets on the Fernhill Stakes, there is this simple answer: Two wrongs can- not make one right; each question has to be determined upon its merits. One or two of the members of Tattersall's having bets on the race called in two other gentlemen ( as I understand) to act for them, in the case of some party who declined paying upon some one of the horses. The two gentlemen called in determined that all bets on the said race should be off, and Admiral Rous pro- tested against their decision and right of jurisdiction. The two gentlemen called in might decide contrary to the explicit rule, which says " Bets shall go with the stakes," in any specific case wherein they were chosen as umpires, but they cannot ignore rules for parties who did not call on them to act, and were un- represented at such conference. Rules cannot be altered except by specially appointed parties, nor can any retrospective rule be introduced. Those parties who desire that bets should not go with the stakes can only be gratified when the present rule is annulled. Without entering into the assertions ef interested parties about their peculiar hardships, the duty of the committee of Tattersall's is simply to inquire— Did the stewards at Ascot de- cide that Tomato won the Fernhill Stakes ? Then— What is the rule about bets and stakes? All other questions are extraneous.— Yours, & c, VINDICATOR. London, July 8, 1863 MEETING OF THE JOCKEY CLUB. A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at Newmarket on Wednesday in the July Meeting, 1863, present Admiral Rous, Mr Alexander, stewards; Mr Barne, Duke of Beaufort, Lord Chesterfield, Mr W. G. Craven, Sir H. Des Voeux, Mr Greville, Sir J. Hawley, Mr R. H. Nevill, Mr Payne, Lord Portsmouth, Lord W. Powlett, Mr Savile, Lord Btrafford, Lord Strathmore, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Westmoreland, Lord Wilton, Lord Win- ehilsea. Sir Frederic Johnstone, Bart, was elected a member of the Jockey Club. Resolved: That after the present year the Heath Tax paid for horses trained at Newmarket shall be two guineas per annum; and for horses that only go there to run, one guinea. Resolred: That from this time no person, not being a member of the Jockey Club, shall be admitted a member of the New Rooms or Coffee Room at Newmarket, without ballot. Resolved: That in Rule 9, " Concerning horse racing in ral," the standard weight shall be 8st 101b, instead of 8st 71b,— Adjourned. DEATH OF GEORGE MANNING This well- known and clever trainer expired on Friday, the 10th inst, in the 34th year of his age. He had been ailing for some time past, and his death was not altogether unexpected. As a lad he was much noticed by the late Mr Beresford, with whom he lived some years. After Mr Beresford's decease he was retained by Mr Percy as head lad, and remained in his employ until Mr P. gave up training. About a year after this he became private trainer to Sir Joseph Hawley, and few men have been so for- tunate with a comparatively small string of horses, for during the few years he was in Sir Joseph's service he not only trained two Derby winners, but other horses that won several valuable stakes. It will, doubtless, be fresh in the recollection of many of our readers that, after the victory achieved by Asteroid for the Chester Cup last May, his trainer fell down in a fainting fit, brought on by over anxiety. The victory of Argonaut in the Stamford Plate this week he was not destined to witness. He was not during his earlier career known so well as a jockey as he was in after years as a trainer, but we may just mention that his last " mount" was on Autocrat in the Derby of 1854. Sir Joseph Hawley loses a trusty and valuable servant. The Newton Abbot ( Devon) Races will take place on August 13 and 14. Further particulars will shortly appear in our adver- tising columns. STOW BRIDGE RACES.— This little meeting has been fixed for Wednesday, July 20, and under the management of those gentle- men who have catered so well for the public amusement on pre- vious years a new and excellent course has been provided. SALE OF PROPERTY AT NEWMARKET.— It will be seen on re- ference to our advertising columns that some property is adver- tised for sale on the 21st inst, in this neighbourhood. It com- prises some of the best land in the adjoining parish of Burwell, and possesses many advantages to a sportsman, as the locality is within an easy distance of the Heath, and abounds with game. The following horses have arrived at T. Brown's, Houghton Down:— Kington, 6 yrs; Clementi, 4 yrs; Tilt, by Tournament out of Spot; colt by Newminster out of Gabardine's dam; filly by Newminster out of Maria, by Hetman Platoff; filly by Leamington out of Brown Duchess's dam; Nutgrove, by " Nut- bourne out of Syren; filly by Neasham, dam by Pantaloon'out of Banter; all yearlings. The Isle of Thanet Races will be held at Margate in September, under the patronage of the Right Hon Viscount Palmerston, K. C. B., and E. H. Knatchbull Hugessen, Esq, M. P. The follow- ing gentlemen have accepted stewardship:— Capt the Hon S. Mostyn ( Royal Welsh Fusiliers), Capt Cotton ( Quex Park), and Capt Cole ( 7th Royal Fusiliers). Further particulars will be duly announced. Horses marked * are in the Derby, f in the Oaks, I in the Leger. DEATH FROM THE STINGS OF BEES,— Two eases of death from the stings of bees have just occurred in France. At Pous- thomi ( Aveyron) a child three years of age, while alone in a garden, having approached too near a hive, was attacked by the bees and so severely stung as to expire shortly after. The con- cierge of Fort Belin at Salins ( Jura), while occupied some days back in hiving a swarm of bees which had approached his resi- dence, was also so much stung on the hands that he died within an hour after. Remedies were applied, but without avail. NEWMARKET JULY MEETING-. The extension of the " Newmarket July'' over four days neces sitated the removal of the Worcester meeting— which for years past has hung on as it were to the skirts of the former gathering— into the preceding week, and the summer reunion at " head quarters" came off on the present occasion on a clear stage, unin- terfered with by any other race meeting whatever far or near. In addition to the usual attractive features in the programme— for the July and Chesterfield Stakes are invariably a host in them- selves— the " extra day'' was enriched by a new race, the Beaufort 8takes ( Handicap), with a couple of hundred added, so that the interest of the meeting was sustained to the close. By the new arrangement of extending the meeting over four days in- stead of three, commencing on the Tuesday, the usual Monday at Tattersall's was not materially interfered with, and, judging from the suceess which attended the experiment this year, the institution of a four days' meeting will doubtless become a permanent one. Although many, having settled their accounts or transacted other business by proxy at " the Corner," on Monday, ran down to Newmarket by the afternoon trains, and a few dropped into the Subscription Room in the evening, not a single investment of any kind was made, and the doors were closed comparatively early. Some " speculation," however, took place as to whether Cambuscan and the Calista colt would start for the July Stakes after all, the rumour having become prevalent here that both were doubtful runners, a rumour that even- tually proved about as truthful as rumours do nine times out of ten. A blazing hot day ushered in the meeting, for the sun's rays poured down with such tropical power, that the spectators, for the most part, eagerly sought any available shade, and many o them steadily adhered to the " Plantation side " throughout the afternoon. Prior to reaching this pleasant spot, on " the other side of the Ditch," the match took place over the Ditch Mile between Umpire, 8st 61b, and Wingrave, £ st I01b, and the improved form, or rather temper, displayed by the American last week at Worcester, caused slight odds to be betted on him. It was altogether a most sporting affair; for a good deal of wagering took place thereon, and Lord Coventry— to borrow the parlance of the Ring—" put the pieces " freely on his horse. The American certainly exhibited a great improve- ment on the style he displayed in his race with Knowsley at Ascot when he fairly " curled up," for to- day, as at Worcester last week, he came out in his true form, and running " kindly,'' and without a curb bridle, or hood, had his opponent safe after going about half way, and won by an easy three quarters of a length, and adding the 300 sovs to- day to the stakes he pulled off last week, he has about repaid Lord Coventry for the sum he gave for him. This match decided, the scene was shifted to the Sum- mer Course, where the sport was resumed with a Handicap 8 weepstakes, over the New T. Y. C., for which Sparkle was fancied in preference to the other trio, but was bawled over by a head by Neophyte, who having, as it was said, done more duty as a hack than a racer lately, was but little fancied by backers in general, for although in some parts of the Ring a few stood him at 5 and 6 to 1, in other quarters as much as 10 to I was offered against him without avail. For the succeeding Sweepstakes, over the Bunbury Mile, Indolence, Fanatic, and Zeloo were almost equally in esteem, the former having the call, but Zeloo, who had the best of the weights, won easily, much to the delight of her owner, who, not being a heavy speculator, backed her for a " pony." Blue Mantle having joined the paid list for the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, Suffolk Stakes Course, Columba only started in opposition to Brother to Morocco, since named Mogador. It was much too good a thing to speculate freely on, for very few cared about taking the odds of 5 to I about the Baron's colt, who won as he liked. Next came the all- important race of the day, the July Stakes, which was either to confirm the opinion hitherto formed of the Scottish Chief and maintain him in his position as leading favourite for the Derby, or to drive him from his pride of place further down the list of quotations. The lot opposed to the Derby crack comprised the dark and highly tried Cambuscan, Mid- night Mass, Becky Sharpe, Claremont, colt by Toxophilite out of Miss Barah, Rouge Crosse, colt by Fazzoletto out of Calista, Figaro and Aunt Judy. Of these the only ones that had hitherto figured in the betting for this event, in add ition to BcottishChief, were Baron Rothschild's and Lord Stamford's colts. The appearance of the favourite caused an unusual degree of excitement, and he was most eagerly scanned on going down the course to the starting post. He is a good- sized horse, with rather pointed shoulders, good arms, deep quarters and thighs, although one of his hocks showed symptoms of having had the iron run over it, and he had a cloth bandage upon his near fore leg. He covers a good deal of ground, but his general appearance does not exhibit any very great quality. Cambuscan is a smart- looking colt, but apart from his great private reputation, there was no- thing very especial in his appearance to recommend him, having somewhat light quarters, and rather slack loins. Mid- night Mass, who has been out three or four times before this season, is a small but pretty horse, but, like the lot in general when saddled, did not strike the spectator as possessing any peculiar attractions when compared with certain by- gone Derby candidates. The Calista colt, however, it must be ad- mitted, shows some quality and fashion, and, with many fine racing points, has substance enough about him for a three year old. Of John Scott's pair we may remark that Claremont is rather a nice horse, but backward, and should see a better day, and that Rouge Crosse ran fast for about half a mile, but otherwise there is nothing strikingly attractive about her. Lord Portsmouth has certainly a beautiful filly in Becky Sharpe— as we took occasion to remark at Ascot— and will, if we mistake not, in time show to greater ad- vantage. Of the others it will be sufficient to note that Lord Glasgow's eolt is a big, coarse- looking animal, and a rather lum- bering mover, and that Figaro is simply passable. It was a near race at the finish, and as Cambuscan, Scottish Chief, Midnight Mass, and Becky Sharpe in advance of the others, swept up the course in a line from the Plantation corner, it looked for a brief space that any of the four might win, although Lord Stamford's colt had, doubtless, a shade the best of it, and amidst great ex- citement and much cheering he landed the well- known colours by a neck from Midnight Mass, who beat " the Chief" by a head, with Lord Portsmouth's filly next, well up. The immediate effect of the race was to drive Scottish Chief to 15 to 1 for the Derby, and although that price was booked both about him and Cambuscan immediately afterwards, it was subsequently offered " on the field," although later in the day a shorter price was only obtainable about Lord Stamford's colt. The general impression produced by the result of the July Stakes was that the lot were anything but " good Derby form." On the other hand, however, it was argued that Cambuscan had been most highly tried— tried good enough, in fact, with Living- stone to back for a large amount. Lord Stamford did not, it is true, do this, having stood his colt for about £ 300 only, as he did not consider himself justified in " going in" for a large stake for him in the face of both public and private advices as to the capa- bilities of Mr Merry's reputed " flyer." With regard to Midnight Mass, although he contrived to win at Epsom, he had been notoriously amiss, and may be better than has been hitherto sup- posed, and we must confess to a " liking'' for Lord Portsmouth's filly, who finished close up with the trio just referred to. We have thus just glanced at the pros and cons in connection with the " first four," but time will show what stuff the lot are really made off. Cambuscan, by Newminster out of Arrow, by Blane, was purchased by " Mr Newling'' at the sale of Her Majesty's yearlings for 400 guineas, and went into Godding's stable, but was subsequently sold for a much larger sum to Lord Stam- ford. The Sweepstakes next decided over the July Stakes Course was an easy victory for Deerfoot. Another spin over the New T. Y. C. was reduced to a match between Fletton and Wild Tom, won by the former, while the final race of the day— the Plate for Fifty Sovs, weight for age, Suffolk Stakes Course- brought out four of the entered five, of whom Oberon was in most demand. Had matters gone straight it is difficult to say how the race might have terminated; as it was, Harlequin, who com menced running unkindly early in the contest, swerved clean across Oberon about a distance from home, so that Wells was compelled to stop his horse ; the end of it being that Brother to Morocco finished in front of the pair, and thus scored a second win to- day. The ground, we must add, though hard enough on the other side of the Ditch, was pretty good going on this. The attendance was, doubtiess, the largest ever known at the " July Meeting," and the quality of the company fully testified as to the popularity of this delightful reunion. The card contained the fol- lowing notice to jockeys:—" If a horse that has been weighed for and his number put up should by any cause be prevented from starting, the jockey who was weighed is required to report as soon as possible to the clerk of the scales that the horse does not run." The betting that took place " up to six o'clock," as well as that later at night, will be found in its usual place. MATCH, 300, h ft; D. M. ( 7fur 210yds).

Neophyte lying on the extreme left. " Half way down the hill Zora and Columba dropped back, and Sparkle took a slight lead, but was collared in the bottom by Neophyte, who won a fine race by a head; an indifferent third.

They got away nearly in a line, Zeloo and Fanatic in the centre being slightly in advance of Bat tery and Indolence into the bottom, where the latter dropped back, and Fanatic appeared to have the best of it, but gave way in the next dozen strides, leaving Zeloo in possession of the lead, which she maintained to the end, and won by a length and a half; the Baron's filly finishing three lengths in advance of Fanatic; Indolence was fourth, close up.

The flag fell to such an even start that as the lot were at first viewed in a line across the course, it was difficult to say which had the best of it. In a brief space, however, Rouge Crosse obtained a slight lead, with Figaro, the favourite, Becky Sharpe, the Calista colt, Cambuscan, and Aunt Judy, the latter on the extreme left, next, all well up, Midnight Mass lying about a length behind Scottish Chief for about a quarter of a mile, when he drew upon the inside. Rouge Crosse retired just before reaching the Plantation, and in the next half dozen strides Figaro and Aunt Judy dropped astern, and Scottish Chief, with Becky Sharpe on the whip hand and Cambuscan and Midnight Mass on the left, came on nearly abreast, Lord Portsmouth's filly for a time looking as dangerous as anything, although half way down the hill Cam- buscan, getting his head just in advance of Mr Merry's colt, ob- tained the advantage, and after a close race home stalled off the effort of Midnight Mass by a neck ; the favourite was beaten a head for second place; Becky Sharpe was fourth, close up; Rouge Crosse, clear of the above quartette, was fifth; Claremont and the Calista colt, close together, next; then came Lord Glasgow's colt and Figaro, whipped in by Aunt Judy. Run in lmin 15sec. A SWEEPSTAKES of 10 sovs each; two year olds 7st 21b three 9st21b; fillies and geldings allowed 31b ; the winner to be sold for 150 sovs if demanded, & c; New T. Y. C.

King of Italy, Daniel, and Deerfoot, nearly abreast, lay in front to the Plantation, where Deerfoot took the lead, and ran home an easy winner by three lengths, two lengths separating the second and third. Folly reared up when the flag fell, and Miss Shepherd got badly off. Run in lmin 20sec. A SWEEPSTAKES of 10 sovs each, for three year olds ; colts Sst 101b, fillies 8st 71b; the winner to be sold for 100 sovs if demanded, & c; New T. Y. C. ( 5fur 136yds); 3 subs. Mr H.

Harlequin led, with Mogador in waiting; the favourite next, close up on the whip hand of the leader, to the Plantation corner, where Daley took a steadying pull at the Baron's colt, and was passed by Oberon. About a distance from home Harlequin, who had been running " un- kindly," swerved across Oberon, who thereby lost some four or five lengths, and the former looked like coming in alone, but stopped of a sudden in the last twenty yards, and Mogador coming with a rush won by four lengths ; Oberon, who was not persevered with after the " cross," finished about the » ame distance behind Harlequin ; the Lady Frances filly, who was beaten early, tailed off.

There was but a scanty attendance, and the proceedings generally were very dull, the sultry atmosphere being sufficient to deter many subscribers from encountering the heat and glare of the rooms. It was not until considerably after ten o'clock that the first blow was struck, and a well- known supporter of Lord Stam- ford's stable commenced hostilities against Scottish Chief for the Derby by laying 1,000 to 60 against Mr Merry's crack ten times in rapid succession. The July winner, Cam- buscan, would have been largely backed from the same quarter, at 15 to 1, but layers declined resolutely to go beyond " twelves.' Offers from the same source to take 16,000 to 1,000 about Lord Stamford's " lot,'' and an even 5,000 that his lordship's stable beat " any other," likewise failed in eliciting response, but an implied doubt as to the superiority of Cambuscan over others in Joseph Dawson's stable, caused Gownsman to be backed for a " tenner" at 100 to 1. 1,000 to 40 was taken about Coup d'Etat, 5,000 to 150 was booked about Durham, and 1,000 to 15 laid several times against Ackworth, odds that were wanted about Midnight Mass. For the Leger 4 to 1 was offered on the field, and at 7 to 1 Queen Bertha was in some little demand. Lord Clifden was in increased disfavour, 3 to I and 4 to I being several times laid against his starting. At the currentodds offered against him he at last found a friend for a small amount. The Liverpool Cup was barely touched upon, Joey Jones and Carisbrook sharing the premiership, and The Knave advancing from 10 to 9 to 1 taken. The Goodwood Stakes was only mentioned, Kriutsford showing some signs of " coming again, 10 to 1 being the highest offer, in- stead of the sixteens obtainable the day previous at Tattersall's. For the Cup Buckstone receded half a point, 100 to 30 being taken about him, and La Toucques likewise went back from 4 to I to 9 to 2. The following are the closing prices at the close of the pro- ceedings, the room being entirely cleared considerably before midnight.

Tattersall, as on the preceding and succeeding days of the meeting, was busily employed in selling blood stock, a return of which will be found in another column. A pleasant breeze tempered the atmosphere, and the early afternoon being some- what cloudy as well, the weather was far more pleasurable and less scorching than on Tuesday, and the attendance again very good. Prior to the commencement of the sport speculation was pursued on forthcoming events, and took a somewhat extensive range. For the Liverpool Cup Oakapple was invested on at 7 to 1; a point more was offered against Joey Jones, and two points more against Imperatrice. 10 to 1 might have been had without any difficulty about either Carisbrook or Fantail, and 12 to 1 was booked about Black Deer. The highest offer against Anfield for the Goodwood Stakes was 6 to 1, and 8 to 1 was again taken about Knutsford. Buckstone was still at the head of affairs for the Good- wood Cup at 7 to 2, while 5 to 1 was booked aboutLaToucques. Offers were made to take 6 to 1 about Fairwater, and a " degree" more was repeatedly proffered agst Isoline. Carnival was backed " on spec" before his race at 100 to 7, and at this price no investments were made on Tim Whiffler ; Atherstone was nibbled at at 15 to 1. Queen Bertha found supporters for the St Leger at 7 to 1, and 28 to 1 was wanted about Holly Fox for the Derby, for which event the Calista colt met with some support at 50 to 1. The card to- day looked quite a formidable one, comprising, as the list did, no fewer than eight items, and of these three at least— the Stamford Plate, the Exeter Stakes, and the Midsummer Stakes— possessed more than mere passing interest. Lord Westmoreland's two year old Stomacher filly was backed at evens against the field— which comprised Rest and La Medora— for the opening T. Y. C. Sweep- stakes, but a slashing " set- to" ended in a dead heat with the favourite and Rest. The three year old, as a matter of course, was " fancied" for the deciding heat, which she won without difficulty. Eleven of the " weighted" twenty started for the Handicap Plate, over the last six furlongs of the Bunbury Mile, Spark, who looked as well in as anything on paper, being backed freely at 4 to 1, and Corroborator, the Miranda filly, and Meriden at a point more. Waterwitch, however, running at a stone for the year with the favourite, defeated him by an easy neck. The winner was so little patronised here that 100 to 8 might have been had about her at the close, although in town we believe the knowing ones made her first favourite on " the lists." The Stam- ford Plate brought out five competitors— Argonaut, King of Dia- monds, Queen of Trumps, Livingstone, and Biondella, who have all by turns done speedy things over a given distance. The main interest of the encounter, however, centred in the meeting of the first- named two, the principal anxiety felt by the backers of the Baron's horse being in connection with his " understandings." If the supporters of " The King," however, experienced some extra anxiety, the friends of Argonaut were also doomed to experience something of the kind as well, for Sir Joseph's horse displayed a good deal of temper at the post, and once or tw; ce bolted some distance out of the course, and caused a tiresome delay, although as the Hag fell he got off on equally good terms with the others. Biondella was the first to give way, and in the bottom the King suddenly dropped back, and Argonaut thence came sailingon, and stalled off the challenge of Livingstone by half a length. The fears entertained by the backers of King of Diamonds were un- luckily verified, for the game old horse broke down in the off hind- leg— not the leg, we may note, that caused his backers so much uneasiness at Btockbridge. A field of sixteen youngsters con- tested the Maiden Plate, but the betting was almost entirely con- fined to Usher, Washington, and Brother to Canace, since named Algarsife— bar these, 100 to 8 was offered1 The money, in fact, was heaped most liberally on the former two, their several " parties" being very sanguine of success. Algarsife, who, unlike the above pair, has been twice out this season— on each occasion running second— had also many admirers, and the luck which so often follows Baron Rothschild in this class of race did not desert him to- day, for by a clever neck his scion of King Tom defeated Washington; Usher being an in- different third, a result by which many caught a heavy " facer." Brother Jonathan, while running forward, sud- denly adopted the Bull's Run tactics by bolting out of the contest, just as he did the other week at Stockbridge. The Exeter Stakes, over half a mile, next engaged attention, Durham, who made such a successful debut at the meeting just referred to in the Mot- tisfont Stakes, being supported freely at 9 to 2; Evelina, who so easilj won the Newmarket Two Year Old Plate at the First Spring Meeting, having also a host of admirers, although her last performances were notquiteso promising astheonejustreferred to. Those who adhered to the B aron's colours, however, made very- little mistake, for the filly proved much too fleet both for the fa- vourite and her rivals in general, and won by a length and a half. The Town Plate of 50 sovs was an easy essay for Golden Dust, beating Dunkeld, Canace, and Bunkum. The card set forth that " The Perram donation, about £ 10, not having been claimed this year as a marriage portion, will be paid to the winner of this plate." Mr Brayley was consequently indebted to the non- marrying portion of the community of Newmarket for an extra " tenner" over this race. Daniel won the 8weepstakes of 10 sovs each, Chesterfield Course, by a head, but the class he beat did not tempt any one to put in a claim at the stipulated 200 sovs. Last, though not least in in- terest, came the Midsummer Stakes, for although a fourth only of the dozen entered put In an appearance— Carnival, Sea King, and GDnopides— the re- appearance of the former, after his long absence, caused quite a furore. Godding brought him out in very fine condition, and it is almost superfluous to say that he was made awarm favourite. The race wasspeedily over— virtually at all events — for Cardinal cut down the other two with such ridiculous ease, and looked so like staying a distance, that he was invested on directly afterwards for the Goodwood Cup at 6 to 1. The horse displayed symptoms of a wind- galled hock, but beyond that no one could find a fault with this good- looking son of Sweetmeat. To those fond of " coincidences" it may be interesting to state that of the eight races decided to- day, five were won by " number three"— Rest, Waterwitch, Argonaut, Brother to Canace, and Daniel.

Rest and La Medora ran together, slightly in advance of the favourite, to the Plantation, w here La Medora dropped back, and on reaching the cords the Stomacher filly got her head in front. Half way up Rest again obtained a trifling advantage, but the two year old catching the Baron's filly in the last two strides, made a dead heat of it, La Medora finishing two lengths from the pair. Run in lmin 19sec. DECIDING HEAT: 6 to 5 on Rest. The non- favourite made the running until descending the hill, where Rest went to the front and won by a length and a half.

After two or three failures, Waterwitch and Spark, on the extreme left, got the best of a very indifferent start, nothing being near them for the first three hundred yards, when the Mi- randa filly, coming with a rush, took a clear lead, having the first- named two and Meriden for her immediate attendants. Mr Savile's filly dropped away in the bottom. leaving the favourite in command, but Custance brought Waterwitch up in the last thirty yards, and won very cleverly by a neck ; Meriden was a bad third, the Miranda filly was fourth, Weatherspy and Corroborator next, then came Trumps and the Glance colt; the others pulling up on the post.

After a considerable display of fractiousness on the part of Argonaut, who bolted out of the course, and thereby delayed the start, the quintette got away on very good terms, Biondella having a slight lead for the first two hundred yards, when Argonaut, running by himself on the whip hand, took the lead, closely followed by King of Diamonds, the others running nearly in a line. Biondella was beaten at the top of the hill, and in the bottom King of Diamond's off hind leg giving way he was passed by Livingstone and Queen of Trumps. At the half distance Lord Stamford's colt made a vigorous, but unavailing effort to overhaul the leader, who won by half a length ; a length between the second and third; Biondella tailed off.

After a lengthened delay at the post Hedworth went away with the lead, followed by Washington and Usher, but the running was quicklytaken up by Brother Jonathan, followed by theabove three in the order named, Algarsife lying fourth. Thus they ran to the Plantation, where Brother Jonathan bolted, leaving Wash- ington and Usher in front to the dip, where the latter gave way, and Algarsife joining issue with Sir Joseph's colt, the two ran a good race home, Algarsife winning by a neck; four lengths between the second and third ; Hedworth was fourth, Suspicion fifth, Bon Espoir and Mirage the two next, the three last being the Jet colt, Regina, and Blight.

Carnival's easy victory for the Midsummer Stakes brought him into prominent notice for the Goodwood Cup. On assembling in front of the rooms before dinner he was freely backed at 6 to 1, ultimately advancing to 5 to 1, those odds being the highest price obtainable, while even money was invested on him to some amount against Buckstone " with a run." The advance of Mr Naylor's horse necessarily caused a retrograde movement on the part of the others, Buckstone receding to 4 to 1 ( offered), 6 to I being taken about La Toucques, and the same odds offered against Fairwater. Isoline's price before dispersing was 8 to 1 ( offered). In the evening there was no attempt to re- new speculation in the Room, which was tenanted only by a few members intent on making up their accounts. A few of the " gentlemen," however, held a " levee'' at the entrance of the Jockey Club Rooms, where a select body of bookmakers, headed by a northern speculator, equally celebrated for the mag- nitude of his operations and his native humour, indulged in an interchange of badinage that provoked roars of laughter. Betting was almost at a standstill, and such as it was was confined to the " northerner" alluded to above, whose prominence caused a good- humoured offer of a " sovereign, for a front seat" from a tantalised speculator in the rear. For the Li verpool Cup a new favourite was introduced in Barchettina, who was strongly supported by her sta- ble, and who advanced from an outside price to 10 to 1; " over the way " she was later in some force at those odds. There was no change in the above quotations for the Goodwood Cup, and Carni- val only was in some little demand at 5 to 1. 10 to 1 was offered against Tim Whiffler, to any amount. For the Leger 9 to 2 was wanted, but not granted, about The Ranger, an even " pony" being laid that he would see 7 to 1 before the start. Queen Bertha would have been backed at anything over 6 to 1. 12 to 1 was offered on the field for the Derby, for which event 20 to I was taken about Blair Athol; 25 to 1 about Coup d'Etat, 30 to 1 about Holly Fox, 40 to 1 about Brother to Bird on the Wing, and 5,000 to 50 about Peon. There were innumerable offers to lay and take " fancy bets," but the actual transactions in that line were limited to the following:— An even thousand that Lord Glasgow and Mr Jackson beat Danebury for the Derby, the same amount on Mr H. Hill versus Lord Glasgow, and two thousand even on Ackworth against Brother to Bird on the Wing. THURSDAY.— Some further speculation took place at the Rooms this morning in conjunction with the settling; for, there being only five items on the card, the racing was not set to com- mence until two o'clock, so that the early " musterers" bad abundance of time in hand, and Mr Tattersall, in his rostrum, had no occasion to hurry out the sale of Mr Simpson's yearlings Oakapple was steady at 6 to 1 for the Liverpool Cup, and many investments were made on Barchettina at 8 to 1, the latter price being also taken about The Knave, while Carisbrook retired to offers of 100 to 6. The highest offer this morning agst Buck- stone, for the Goodwood Cup, was 4 to 1, and 6 to 1 was offered agst " any other." There was a rush on Anfield for the 8takes, and at last as little as 9 to 2 was taken ; Bellman had backers at 8 to 1, and the changeable Knutsford stood at 12 to 1. The only investments we saw on theSt Leger weee 50 to 1 each about Boreahs and Light Bob; the same price being also obtainable about Bonny Bell. Cambuscan and Scottish Chief were severally invested on at 15 to 1 for the Derby, and 20 to I would have been taken about Lord Glasgow's lot. The weather was again gloriously fine, and the attractions of the Chesterfield Btakes again drew a large company together. Although very little speculation took place on this event thus early in the afternoon, ample time was afforded for discussing the likely results of the same, for the two o'clock Handicap Sweepstakes went off in a walk over for Black Lily; Neophyte, of the other entered two, being reserved for another race. Thus the sport did not really commence until half- past two, when four items were only left for decision ; but it appeared to be universally understood that the " thickest" of the meeting was over, and the most " industrious" could scarcely have wished for very heavy racing in such intensely hot weather. As it was, the sport was enjoyable to a degree. There appeared some diffi- culty in selecting a favourite for the Fifty Sovs Plate, T. Y. C., although Fietton and Debden were finally backed at about 4 to 1 each ; the winner, however, turned up in the filly by Harbinger out of Rosa, against whom a point more was laid. The winner, who was ridden by a namesake of the redoubtable Tom Sayers, was bought at the Curragh some time ago for 17 sovs, and after the late Newton meeting was favourably tried with Persuasion ; and to- day, running home six lengths in front of everything, was claimed by Mr H. Bird. Of the sixteen coloured for the Chesterfield Stakes, the most noteworthy absentees were the Calista colt and Cambuscan; so that the general sur- mise that the latter would prove a non- starter, and thus be debarred from repeating the Saccharometer feat of last year, was realised " this journey." Thus quit of his most dangerous opponent, 5 and 6 to 4 was laid on Scottish Chief, next to whom Becky Sharpe— who Jran'so forward at half a mile in the July that she looked like winning— was in most esteem. The Chief, however, was this time triumphant, for, carrying a 71b penalty, he beat Crytheia— also penalised 71b— by a length, the latter finishing the same distance in advance of Becky Sharpe, who was also carrying a similar penalty; the three " penalised" ones thus getting home in front of the eight unpenalised ones. The result of this race did not, however, throw any great addi- tional light on the " Derby subject," for Becky Sharpe was cer- tainly not so well or fit to- day as in the July Stakes. The victory of the Chief, however, caused him to go up in the Derby betting, as will be seen on reference to the wagering that took place after- wards. Of the two remaining items there is little to be said. Ten started for the Handicap Plate, T. Y. C., for which the light weight, Supple, was at first the favourite, but the money going on the top- weighted Neophyte, affairs took another turn, a very short price being taken about the latter, who won by an easy half length from The Prophet. A brief though pleasant day's racing was brought to a close by the success of Zeloo in the T. Y. C. Sweepstakes, beating half- a- dozen others, of whom Meridan was a good favourite, and his defeat by Zeloo led to the latter being claimed by Lord Chesterfield.

After a slight delay, caused by several of the lot breaking away, the signal was given to a very i level start, Becky Sharpe having a slight advantage over the ! others for about two hundred yards, when the lead was taken by The Little Gentleman, close up with whom, in the centre of the course, the colours of the favourite were con- spicuous; Crytheia, Washington, and Lord Portsmouth's filly level with him on the left, while on the whip hand came Bel- gium, Lord Glasgow's colt, and Hypatia, the latter running very forward on the extreme left. Thus they came on at a merry pace into the dip, rising which The Scottish Chief took his colours to the van, those left in immediate attendance upon him being Cry- theia, Becky Sharpe, Lord Stamford's filly, and Washington. The favourite thence retained the command, and won cleverly by a length ; Lord Portsmouth's filly finished as far from the se- cond, succeeded by Hypatia and Washington nearly abreast, though wide of each other, well up with the third ; The Little Gentleman was sixth, Belgium seventh, and Bradamante eighth, the last two being Rouge Cross and the Agra colt.

The two great events of the meeting being decided, there was a considerable exodus by the afternoon train, and comparatively few visitors remained to " see it out." A small gathering of sub- scribers took place in the Subscription Room late in the evening, and amidst a considerable amount of chafFa little actual business was transacted. The betting on the Liverpool Cup was of a most inscrutable and complicated description, it being difficult to arrive at the real position of many of the competitors. Only those, indeed, who " pull the strings" could possibly arrive at the true meaning of some of the " operations." Barchettina, whose open- ing price was 8 to 1, was knocked about to a great extent, and subsequently receded to 20 to 1. " I* another place,'' however, and at a late hour, slight signs of renewed confidence were visible, and 100 to 8 taken. Oakapple was nominally the favourite at - 5 to 1, 8 to 1 was taken about Joey Jones, and 20 to 1 agst Victor, the same odds being booked about the disgraced Carisbrook. The principal and, in fact, the only feature in the Goodwood Cup bet- ting was the dismissal of Carnival to the right about, caused by the fact of his owner having purchased Isoline. 3 to 1 was offered against his starting, and 20 to I offered against his winning. 200 to 100 was laid against Buckstone and La Toucques coupled, the former remaining firm at 4 to 1, while 6 to 1 was wanted about the French mare. At the last- named odds Isoline would have been backed, but layers only offered " five and a half.'' 6 to 1 • was offered against Fairwater, and 10 to 1 booked about Ather- stone. An even thousand was invested on Fairwater against Isoline. The Derby favourites were not inquired after, 10 to 1 being the highest offer on the field. 1/ 000 to 35 was taken about Holly- fox. Brother to Bird on the Wing and the Calista colt were both backed for a little at 40 to 1, and 1,000 to 50 laid against Lord Glasgow's lot.

The weather was again delightfully fine, though warmer, if anything, than on the opening day. As usual, on " Friday," the racing commenced early, the first item( theHandicap Plate of 100 sovs, overtheBunbury Mile) being set for half- past twelve o'clock. For this event eleven of the entered fourteen went to the post, and Suburban opened first favourite at 5 to 2, 5 to I being laid against Waterwitch. So freely, however, was the money put on Mr Bryan's mare that she was subsequently backed at 5 to 4. as though to make amends for the neglect shown her on Wednesday, and the demonstration on her behalf led to 4 to 1 being offered against Suburban, while 10 to 1 was offered " bar two. Water- witch proved herself worthy of the confidence reposed in her, for despite her topping impost of 9st she won easily by a couple of lengths, while Suburban finished at the " other end." Somewhat contrary to expectation, only nine of the score handicapped were coloured on the card for the Beaufort Stakes, and of these five only went to the post, Argonaut having at the finish just the call of Harlequin. The favourite, however, could not get the^ distance, and Harlequin, who carried the same weight as Argonaut within a pound, won by a length and a half from Gorse, to whom he was conceding 61b, including 21b overweight. For the Plate of 100 sovs, for maiden two year olds, Lady Fanny Cavendish was all the rage, the only other two backed in reality being Mirage and Verdiere; the former, however, only just secured " a situation," and Lady Hybla, who was not entrusted fora shilling by her owner, after her running in the Maiden Two Year Old Plate on Wednesday, won right easily. The Queen's Plate, for mares, wound up the best July Meeting ever held at " head quarters." Odds were laid on Paste for this long journey, but she tired literally to a standstill, the almost universal opinion being that she had broken down, and Sam Rogers dismounted long be- fore reaching the post. The old mare, however, has long been troubled with ringbones, which rendered her unfit to run such a trying course; and the Miranda filly, who was also very leg- weary, beat Belle of Yorkshire by a length and a half. As al- ready stated, there was very little betting on future events. In the course of the day 4 to 1 was taken and offered about Oakapple for the Liverpool Cup, and a point more about Joey Jones, and dur- ing the morning as little as 10 to 1 was taken about Victor, against whom double that price was laid the previous evening The re- turn journey by the special was most satisfactorily performed in about two hours and a half.

Camperdown made play on the far side, closely followed by the Miranda filly and Meriden, Waterwitch next. They ran without any material change to the top of the hill, where Camperdown dropped back, and the favourite, coming away at the half distance, won by two lengths; a head between the second and third; Anaticulus and Camperdown, close together, were next, Equinox fifth, and Bertha next; the last lot comprised Dunsinane, Black Prince, Misfire, and Suburban.

The running was made by Ch( 5re Amie, followed by Argonaut; Harlequin lying by him- self on the inside, Stockinger on the extreme right, and Gorse last. At the T. Y. C. post Stockinger and Argonaut took close order with Mr Naylor's mare, the former having a little the best of it, and at the top of the hill Gorse reached Argonaut's girths. The latter directly afterwards gave way, and Stockinger running out to the right, Harlequin obtained the lead, and won by a length and a half; half a length divided the second and third, and the same distance the third and fourth.

Mirage made the running at a very bad pace, with the favourite, Whitebait, Lady Hylda, and Lorette in close attendance. They ran in the order named to the distance, when the favourite, being in trouble, re- tired to the rear, and Lady Hylda obtained a slight lead, con- tinued it to the end, and won easily by two lengths; three lengths between the second and third; Belgium was a bad fourth, Lorette fifth; Diviner and Queen Lily colt beaten off.

No change occurred in these positions until they ran into the Dip— about three hun- dred yards from the winning post— when Paste stopped very sud- denly, to all appearance having broken down badly, and Belle of Yorkshire then carried on the running until within a dozen lengths of the chair, when Fordham sent the Miranda filly out, and she won easily by a length and a half. common hack prices. On Wednesday morning Mr Alexander s broed mares were sold, and the majority of them having been good performers, and being in excellent condition, with some remarkably good- looking foals at ; their sides, fetched good prices. Lurley's colt foal, by Prime Minister, was well shaped, handsome, and very quick in his action, and, with his dam, was sold to the Duke of Beaufort for 300 guineas. Repentance, a fine | strapping mare, with a good- looking colt by Prime Minister, ; was purchased by the Duke of St Albans for 330guineas. The first part of Mr Simpson's yearlings, consisting of twelve lots, were also sold. They were all by Vedette, but were for the most part such a small, ragged- looking lot, that buyers fought very shy, and it will be seen they made but very indif- ferent prices, with the exception of the Arethusa filly ( purchased by Mr W. Day for 260 guineas), which was the best looking of the lot. There was a very large attendance of buyers onThursday morn- ing, and the sale commenced with the second lot of Mr Simpson s yearlings to the number of fourteen, making, with those sold on Wednesday, altogether thirty- seven lots of a very moderate stamp. A bay filly" by Tadmor out of Lady Wilson made the best price ( 135 guineas), and was bought by W. Day. The remainder sold brought shocking bad prices, and many of them were so very weedy and small that Mr Tattersall could not get a bid for them. Mr Wybrow Robinson's lot of horses in training were put up to auction, but they were all bought in. Many other horses were offered for sale, but the reserved figure put upon them was too high to tempt buyers. TUESDAY, JULY 7. THE PROPERTY OF COUNT BATTHYANY. GS.

Mathews, Esq, J. P. Trea- surer: R. Langan, Esq. Hon Sees: Messrs Mar key and Daly. Judge: R. J. Hunter, Esq. Clerk of the Course: Mr J. H. Coatsworth. The centre of attraction during the past week was the above meeting, to which a fair supply of horses was sent from the Curragh. Part of the capital programme issued consisted of hurdle events, an unusual feature in the month of J uly; they were, however, attractive, as horses were sent from different parts of the country to contend for them, and on the first day by far the closest race was for the Crockafotha Stakes over the hurdles between five steeple chasers, and the game little chesnut mare Topsy, by Master Tom, who ran so stoutly with Blush Rose and Palermo at Tipperary for the Barrronstown Plate, proved successful, and won in fine style. A respectable field of seven ran for the Tradesmen's Plate, two miles, and the favourite was well thrashed by Outcast, to the sur- prise of everybody, as he was looked on as a miler only, and one ef the few Voltigeurs that cannot stay. The racing on the second day was very good, and the company one of the largest seen on Bellewstown for the last three years. Odds were laid on Secrates for Her Majesty's Plate, but he did not run as well as his owner and friends expected, as he was only able to score third honours. The Bellewstown Stakes and remaining events of the day were keenly contested, and the meeting terminated with eclat, the ar- rangements of the committee giving general satisfaction. WEDNESDAY, JULY- 8.— The STEWARDS' PLATE of 30 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each ; about three quarters of a mile; 6 subs. Capt Macliell's b c Bacchus, by Claret, 2 yrs, 6st 91b D.

Outcast went to the front, quickly shook off Redskin and Toggery, and won in a canter by two lengths, Troublesome a very bad fourth, and the others nowhere.

For the first mile the pace was very moderate, then it mended, and Redskin, with a lead of three lengths, carried on the race for the second mile, Spring Daisy and Socrates being his next attendants, with Colleen Rhue and O'Con- nell last to the turn into the straight, where they took close order, but in the run home Redskin drew away from the lot, and won by nearly two lengths; same between second and third.

The sales of blood stock at Newmarket during the week by Messrs Tattersall were remarkably brisk.

KING'S LYNN RACES.— The committee have decided that this meeting ( which, it will be remembered, has received the patron- age of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, and will be held contiguous to the Sandringham estate) shall extend over two days, instead of only one, as originally intended, on Thursday and Friday, Sept 3 and 4, the principal stakes ( which will be worth nearly a hundred pounds each) being the Sandringham Hall Plate Stakes, and the Prince of Wales Stakes. The follow- ing noblemen and gentlemenhave consented to act as stewards:— Earl Westmoreland, Viscount St Vincent, Mr Payne, Mr Bryan, Mr T. Mawby, and Mr Gamble.

The monthly meeting and dinner of the club was held at the Mariwe Station at liock Ferry on Monday evening last. The company present sat down to the usual house dinner, provided by Mr Huntriss, and formed a pleasant party; though, from so many of the yachts and members being away from the port cruising and attending the regattas on the coast, the muster was small. There was a large list of names on the ballot papers, and twenty new members were admitted into the club, and several others proposed for the next meeting. The Bacchante, Vice- Commodore being the flag officer at present at the station, Commodore Graves being away in his yacht in Ireland. The Iolanthe, Queen, & e, are at the station. ROYAL DEE YACHT CLUB. Several of the old members having expressed their desire to re- vive this club, a meeting was held at Parkgate, on the Dee, on Saturday, July 4. Mr J. Grindrod, of Leigliton House, was eleoted Commodore, Mr Melling, Liverpool, taking the office of Vice- Commodore; Mr T. H. Dixon, Chester, was elected honorary secretarj' and treasurer, and Mr W Jenkins, Neston, will act as auditor. The club will hold its monthly meetings on the first Saturday in each month, at eight p. m., in the large room of the Boatliouse, Parkgate; and the landlord, Mr Johnson, has kindly lent the ilag- slaff', on the front of the Parade, to display the flag granted to the club by the Admiralty in the year 1847. This will be the marine station on the Dee for the club proceedings. Several names are proposed for membership at the next meeting. It is proposed to hold a regatta on Saturday, Aug 1, at Parkgate, which will take place at high water on the springs, when the river Dee presents a noble sheet of water for about five hours, with its beau- tiful background of the mountains of Wales. During these hours there is plenty of time to bring off the various races, which will consist of a race for small yachts; fishermen's boats; a ladies' prize for gentlemen amateurs, in four- oared gigs; and other row- ing matches. The Commodore will hoist his flag in the Victorine yacht. The Lark, cutter, belongs to Mr Dixon, of Chester, and is the only original yacht remaining of the formation of the club in the year 1848. There are several other yachts on the river Dee, and from the unanimity which characterised the proceedings of the first meeting, t here is a good prospect of the Royal Dee Yacht Club being re- established on a solid basis. ROYAL HARWICH YACHT CLUB. The opening cruise of this club took place on Wednesday July 8, the fleet of the club sailing from Harwich to Walton- on- the- Naze. The members held a meeting on the previous evening in the commodious new club room at the railway station at Har- wich, for the purpose of arranging the programme of the regatta on July 22, and to settle the various prizes, which amount in the aggregate to £ 157 10s. The yachts which assembled on Wednesday in Harwich harbour were the Gloriana, schooner, 134 tons, Mr A. O. Wilkinson, of the Royal Thames Yacht. Club ; the Marina, cutter, 65 tons, Mr J. C. Morice, Vice- Commodore of the Royal Harwich and a member also of the Royal Thames, Royal Victoria, and Royal London; the Avalon, cutter, 35 tons, Mr , T. Goodson, also a member of the Royal Thames and Royal London ; the Amazon, cutter, 50 tons, Capt H. F. Smith, Vice- Commodore of the Royal London and a member of several other clubs ; the Clytie, schooner, 61 tons, Capt F. 8. Clarkson, also a member of the Royal Thames and Royal Victoria ; the Violet, schooner, 15 tons, Mr J. Allanby, Felixstow ; the Bessie, cutter, 9 tons, Mr J. H. Hedge, Ipswich ; the Cygnet, cutter, 12 tons, Mr G. Hardy, also a member of the Royal London ; the Dewdrop, cutter, 18 tons, Mr E. Packard, Ipswich ; the Whisper, cutter, 19 tons, Mr C. W. Morice, also a member of the Royal Thames ; the Brilliant, cutter, 14 tons, Mr W. Bruff, Ipswich ; the Colleen Bawn, cutter, 10 tons, Mr W. Sidney, Great Yarmouth; the Gem, cutter, 10 tons, Mr J. G. Chamberlain, also a member of the Roj al London ; the Helen, cutter, 5 tons, Mr S. King, Ipswich, & c. All the yaclns displayed the ensign and burgee of tile Royal Harwich. At eleven a. m. the club battery, which was nanned by the Har- wich Artillery Volunteers, under the command of Capt Daniels, saluted the Vice- Commodore with seven guns upon his hoisting his flag as Vice- Commodore for the first time; and the Marina and the other yachts acknowledged the salute by dipping their colours. Shortly after twelve the Marina got under weigh, and was followed by the remainder of the little squadron. The wea- ther was beautiful, and there was a nice westerly breeze. On passing H. M. S. Pembroke, 60, lying in the harbour, the Harwich Volunteer Artillery band, who were on board the Marina, struck up " Rule Britannia,'' and the jolly tars on board the " big ship" turned out in large numbers, and cheered heartily in return. The cruise was marked by no very special incident, the yachts keeping well together, so that at about half- past one the majority of the fleet brought up off the pier at Walton- on- the- Naze, and dressed them- selves out with all their colours. The little town also made a brave display of bunting near Clifton and the South Cliff. The yachts, it should be added, were accompanied on their cruise to Walton by the Atalanta, a river steamer worked on the Orwell by the Great Eastern Railway Company, and placed for the occasion at the disposal of the club for the conveyance to Walton of such members as had not provided themselves with berths on board the yachts. Upon the yachtsmen and their friends landing at Wal- ton they proceeded to the Clifton Hotel, in the assembly room of which about 50 gentlemen and a few ladies sat down to a cham- pagne luncheon. The chair was filled by the Vice- Commodore, Mr J. Goodson acting as vice. After due justice had been done to the usual loyal toasts, The VICE- CHAIBMAN proposed " The Health of the Vice- Com- modore," observing that it was most gratifying to the members of the club to have an opportunity of welcoming a new occupant of the office of vice- commodore. The proceedings of the day, he should also observe, would not have passed off so well had not his excellent- friend Mr Bruff, who was all powerful at WaltoH- on- the- Naze, assembled so many gentlemen. Mr Morice had shown clearly enough what might be expected at his hands as vice- com- modore of the club; and it should be known that he intended in the evening to kindly give a substantial entertainment to the watermen of Harwich. The VICE- COMMODORE replied, and expressed the pleasure which he experienced in being attached to the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, as his earliest recollections of yachting were associated with it. His first sail was on board the Anaconda, be- longing to the late respected Commodore, Sir Charles Ibbetson, and if anything could induce him to make additional exer- tions in the interests of the club, it would be such a souvenir as that. He should always be happy to do anything he could to promote the welfare of the club, which, with a splendid harbour and everything requisite for a flue yachting station, should be second to no club in the kingdom [ cheers]. Mr P. BRUEF proposed " The Healths of the Members for Har- wich." Gentlemen who remembered the position into which the Royal Harwich had fallen some few years since must feel grateful to Capt Jervis and Col Rowley for the manner in which they had interested themselves on its behalf. The Hon Col ROWLEY responded on behalf of himself and his colleague, who had been obliged to return to town. The gallant colonel said this was the first occasion on which he had joined the club, but after the hearty welcome which he had received, it should not be the last. The VICE- COMMODORE said the next toast would be cordially received by every one; it was " The Health of the Commodore, Lord Rendlesham, and success to the Royal Harwich Yacht Club." The club had a most popular nobleman asCommodore, a splendid harbour, and a numerous body of members, and there could be no reason why it should not be highly successful [ loud cheers]. The VICE- CHAIRMAN proposed The Health of Mr Bruff, and Prosperity to Walton- on- the Naze.'' He had no doubt that Mr Bruff would receive the present demonstration as an acknowledg- ment to some extent of his exertions on behalf of Walton. A rail- way would in a short time be constructed to the town, and would, doubtless, prove a great advantage to it. Thanks to the kindness of Providence, the club had had a very fine day, and a favourable wind to bring them to Walton; and as a good com- mencement encouraged an after visit, he hoped that Walton would be brought forward more than it had been [ cheers]. Mr BRUFF, in responding, said, looking at the social position of the gentlemen round the table, and the presence of many gentlemen of eminence in the yachting world, he augured the best result from the present cruise; at all events, he hoped the success of the day would induce the party to repeat their visit; he hoped that, under the auspices of the Royal Harwich, a good day's yachting would take place at Wal- ton, and that the Vice- Commodore of the Royal Harwich and many more of his friends would be present. He trusted also that the Walton regatta would be followed by a ball, which would show the resources which the town and neighbourhood possessed in the matter of female beauty. As regarded the proposed railway communication, he felt much indebted to the Great Eastern Rail- way Company for the far- sighted assistance which the directors had afforded. The Hon Col ROWLEY, M. P., proposed " The Administration of the Great Eastern Railway,'' associating with the toast the name of Mr Goodson. Harwich would derive much benefit from the communication which the railway company proposed to establish with the Continent, and the traffic facilities given generally' of late by the directors deserved the best thanks both of Harwich and Walton- on- the- Naze [ cheers]. The VICE- CHAIRMAN replied, and assured the company that the directors were turning over a new leaf. Whatever might have been the misdoings of the old Eastern Counties Company, the Great Eastern earnestly desired to promote the most rapid com- munication between the metropolis and the eastern coast, and Harwich had lately been brought by a quick train within two hours of London. Before long the directors hoped to establish a line of steamboats at Harwich, which would secure more rapid communication with the north and east of Europe. He looked forward to the 22d as likely to afford one of the most joyous yacht- ing meetings ever held at. Harwich. The VICE- COMMODORE propssed " The Royal Yacht Clubs of England," associating with the toast the name of Captain Smith, Vice- Commodore of the Royal London. Capt SMITH, in responding, said there could be no reason why the London yacht clubs should not pull together with the Har- wich and other provincial clubs, and he should hold both himself and his yacht at the command of the Royal Harwich as much as possible [ cheers]. After a concluding toast in honour of " The Ladies," the yachts- men proceeded to the pier and re- embarked for Harwich. The whole day was a most enjoyable and delightful one. ( Dunoon), and was, after a close contest between Wizard and Ala- bama, won by the former. The day was concluded by rowing matches among the boats be- longing to the men- of- war on the station. WEDNESDAY.— To- day the wind veered from N. W. to W„ and blew freshly until the evening, when it became very light. The attendance of yachts and spectators was as great as on the preceding day, and the sport was even more interesting. The first race was open to schooners and yawls of royal yacht clubs of 3tj tons and upwards, for a purse of £ 100. A fine start was effected at 11: 20: 5, by the following vessels:— YACHT. TONS.

At the Cloch the Reverie was considerably in advance, but after rounding the Kilcreggan flagboat, and while beating up to the Commodore, was passed by Fiery Cross, and the vessels passed on the first round thus:— II.

FIERY CROSS.. 4 13 S | CIRCE 4 14 19 | REVERIE 4 21 5 In the third round Circe passed Fiery Cross near Cloch, but only reached the goal about six minutes in advance of her, leaving Fiery Cross, which had nearly twenty minutes to spare, the victor.

Duncan The start was a very fine one, the two leading boats being a few feet from each other, and third and fourth almost abreast. Before reaching Kirn, however, Thought was successively passed by Phryne and Vindex, and on passing Dunoon the vessels were about equi- distant from each other, going at. a great pace close to the land, and presenting one of the finest sights ever seen on this river. The Phryne gradually crept up to the Surf, and on round- ing the Bullwood Buoy was only about 15sec astern. Vindex fol- lowed in lmin 24sec, and Thought got round in 2min 34sec be- hind the leading boat. These places were maintained by the ves- sels with occasional alterations throughout the race. At times the Phryrie's bowsprit was nearly over Surf's taffrail, and at others she was a considerable distance astern. Before the close of the race the distances between Phryne and Vindex and the latter and Thought were materially increased, but for the greater part of the day the contest between the two leading boats was very close, as wiil be seen by the under- noted time. It ended, however, by Clyde being again the victor. The several rounds terminated as follows:— 2D ROUND. 3D ROUND, H. M. S. H. M.

The fourth battle of the Channel is looked forward to with great interest, and should the Southamp- ton clippers still prove invincible it will indeed be a memorable season to the mariners of the Itchen. Amongst the vessels ex- pected to contend for the Royal Irish Yacht Club prizes are the Phyrne, Phosphorus, Vindex, Thought, North Star, Surf, Avoca, Heroine, Avalanche, and Queen. To meet these for the honour of the old harbour there are the Aura, L'Eclair. Banba, Magnet, ' Atalanta, Echo, Dove, Virago, Pet, and Surprise*. Amongst the schooners and yawls expected may be enumerated the Circe, lernS, Madcap,' Snnpe, Reverie, Rowena, Fiery Cross, Anita, lolanthe, Galatea^- Gloriana, Fleur de Lys, Gertrude, and In- trigue. The Atrfa and Surf will be uncertain starters; if the weather be light, and they go, it may alter the aspect of affairs. Should the Vindex be in proper form it is quite probable she may prove all the awkward antagonist we have anticipated all along, and she will have the pull on allow- ance of time ; Kverpool was no criterion to judge her by, and she did not appear to be in trim at Queenstown. The Thought will, as ever, prove a wicked little craft to deal with ; along with feeing well and pl. Kckily handled, her allowance of time will be considerable. The Heroine sailed remarkably well the first day at Queenstown, and it would not at all surprise us to see her amongst the first flight over the Dublin Bay course. Much interest is at- tached to the Aura, should she start, to see how she will behave with the new lot of clippers. Amongst the schooners of course tihe GircS holds tlie foremost place, but with a steady whole sail breeze at N. W. in Dublin Bay she will find it a troublesome day's work to shake off the Madcap or Eolanthe ; and if report be true, the little Reverie and Fiery Cross, should they start, are not at all to be overlooked. The Snipe, yawl, is also an uncommonly fast vessel of her cltss, and showed landeniable speed and power at Liverpool. Amoiagst the vessels at present on the station, some of which have sailed for the Northward, are the Witch, sehooner, Rear- Commodore Sandford, R. St. G. Y. C. ; Belle, C. Putland, It. St. G. Y.

TEMPLE YACHT CLUB," In consequence of one of the competing yachts meeting with an accident, and beiag thereby prevented from taking her station at the starting buoy, the match for Monday last could £ iot be brought off, there being only three entered. A special meeting of the committee was held on Wednesday, when it w* » decided that a match take place on Friday, July 24 ; distance, from Charlton to Rosherville and back; three prizes if four start; tiia last day of entry to be Friday, July 17; yachts to be at their stations si; nine o'clock. The following are the entries to the present date Resolution, Novice, Silver Star, Mermaid, and Eugene, Club members only on board. CORSAIR ROWING CLUB. The following are the names of the gentlemen who have entered to row in the annual four- oared race of this club against the Ariel Rowing Club, viz:— Messrs H. Castell, J. C. Kearns, J. Ellinger, A. Herron, and A. Charman ( cox); their positions are not yet definitely fixed, but they will, in all probability, row in the above order. We expect the race will be well contested, the op- posing crews being better matched than heretofore, more than one gentleman in the Corsair four having proved themselves this year to be oarsmen of no ordinary merit. Slight odds are already being laid in favour of the Ariels, owing to their having always hitherto proved victorious; but nothing definite can be known of the rival merits of the crews till the names of fcjje gentlemen com- posing the Ariel four are published. ROYAL NORTHERN YACHT CLUB REGATTA- [ Greenock Advertiser.] The annual regatta of this club took place at Hunter's Quay, on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 7 and 8, and in point of interest excelled many, if not all, that have preceded it. The knowledge that the most celebrated clippers of the day— cutters and schooners — were to compete, attracted an immense concourse of yachts, and at one time about eighty could be counted in the neighbour- hood of the Commodore and in the offing, including vessels be- longing to the Royal Yacht Squadron, Victoria, Mersey, St George's, Western ( Ireland), Thames, Royal Irish, Northern, and Irish, and Clyde Model Clubs. The shore, from Hunter's Quay to Kirn, was crowded with spectators, and there was a great profu- sion of small craft and rowing boats. Mr David Richardson, of Hartfield, Vice- Commodore, performed the Commodore's duties with great ability ( efficiently assisted by the secretary, R. Hope Robertson, and A. S. Schaw, arid Wm. Houldsworth, stewards) on board the club yacht Mosquito, which acted as flagship, and was anchored off the pier. The courses to be run were:— For first- class yachts, round flagboats off' Bullwood ( Dunoon), Kilcreggan, and Commodore, thrice round ( 39 miles); for second class yachts, the same course, twice round ( 26 miles) ; for sailing boats, the same course, once round ( 13 miles); and for rowing matches, round a flagboat off Kirn Pier. The wind was variable through- out the day, veering in puffs from S. by W. to S. S. W., but was on the whole productive of excellent sport. At 11: 19: 5 the following crack vessels started for the Commodore's Cup, value 100 guineas, offered to cutters of royal yacht clubs of 25 tons and upwards. YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWNER.

Surf took the lead, follewed by Vindex and Phryne, all carrying full canvas, but before reaching the flagboat off Bullwood, Vindex went in front, Surf being close behind, and Phryne considerably in the rear. On passing the Cloch the two leading vessels were very close, but after rounding the Kilcreggan flagboat Vindex drew ahead, and the three passed the Commodore in the first round as follows:— H. M. s. I H. M. S. I II. M. s. VINDEX 2 2 5 I SURF 2 6 20 | PHRYNE 2 7 1 While rounding, the Vindex carried away her bobstay, but it was soon replaced. In running from the Bullwood flagboat to Kilcreggan, Surf headed Vindex, and on the second round the Commodore was passed as follows:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. s. SURE 5 5 26 | VINDEX 5 6 2 | PIIRYNE 5 12 47 During the last round the wind became light, and Phryne, whose backers had lost heart, revived their spirits by gradually creeping up on her opponents, who were sticking to each other like leeches, V index hanging on Surf ' s quarter. At the Kilcreg- gan flagboat the three vessels were in a cluster, Vindex slightly to windward, Surf in the centre, and almost in collision with Phryne, which was to leeward. So near were they, that as a token of the friendly nature of the contest, a bottle of champagne was handed from the Phryne to the Surf. Vindex rounded first, and the others together, so close that a foul appeared inevitable, but so beautifully were the vessels steered and handled that none occurred. The Surf on rounding stood into Gourock Bay, and, catching the fresh land breeze, soon passed the others, who by heading to the Kilcreggan shore got into a comparative calm, or what sailors call " the doldrums.'' Therace finished thus :— H. M. S. I H. M, S. | H. M. S.

The second race, for a PURSE of £ 30, open to Royal Yacht Clubs of 10 tons and not exceeding 30 tons, started at 12: 23: 36, the com- peting vessels being:— YACHT. SONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWNER.

Thought soon crept into the second place, aad she and Glide so far outstripped the others that the interest, da the rnee became wholly centred in them. Glide kept in advance until she reached the Bullwood fiagboat, when the Thought te- ok a long stretch. inshore and cleverly weathered Glide, both vessels rounding at tte same moment. Thought being to windward - drew ahead, but Glide luffed up, and, getting the weather- gauge, took . the lead. Thought tried the- same dodge suc- cessfully, and contrived to shsice off her opponent, which was not able to regain^ er superiority. During this brief- struggle for pre- cedence both jisehts were handted in the most seasaanlike man- ner. Thought gradually increased her advantage, and the vessels passed the Comsaodore ca the first pound in the following order:— II. 3L S. IH. JL AL H. M.- S.

A RACE, for fishing skiffs, not less than 7ft beam and not ex- ceeding 24ft keel, for prizes of £ 8 and £ 2, was contested by the following boats, all belonging to Ardrishaig:— Stag ( J. Hamil- ton), Blue Jacket ( D. M'Ewen), Racehorse ( N. M'Ewen), Anns ( Dugald M'Dougall), Isabella ( R. Bruce), Persian ( D. Morrison). They started at 12: 41: 57, and the two leading boats arrived as fol- lows:— Stag 6: 27: 15, Blue Jacket 6: 2ft35, The others were nowhere.

SOUTHAMPTON REGATTA. JULY 8.— This regatta, of which the mayor, Mr F. Perkins, is the Commodore, came off on Wednesday. The weather was auspicious, there being a pleasant breeze from the N. W. for the most part of the afternoon, although about five p. m. the wind dropped to a calm for about half an hour, which had the effect of causing some of the competitors to change places. Upon the whole everything went (• ff favourably. The first match was ' for a prize of £ 20, for yachts not exceeding 15 tons; time race of one minute per ton. The second race was for £ 12, in four prizes of £ 6, £ 3, £ 2, and £ 1, for sailing boats of 23 feet and under; time race, two minutes per foot. Third race, a prize of £ 3, for boats not exceeding 14 feet, to be rowed double handed by members of the Southampton Amateur Regatta Club. Fourth, a prize of £ 15, for four- oared galleys, open to the coast, to be divided as under, viz :— First boat £ 7 10s, second £ 5, and third £ 2 10s, to be rowed in heats. Fifth match, a prize of £ 5, for boats belonging to Her Majesty's ships in harbour, which are H. M. S. Dauntless, off Netley, and H. M. S. Boscawen, moored off the Town Quay, training ship for bays. There was also a prize of £ 10 for four- oared galleys manned by members of the 8. A. R. Club, viz:— First boat £ 5, second £ 3, and third £ 2. The Union Company placed their steamer Athens at the disposal of the com- mittee, which was moored off the Town Quay as the station vessel. At 12: 30 the preparatory gun was fired, and the little yachts in the first match took up their respective stations. The course was from the station vessel up the river round a flagboat moored off Cracknore Hard, thence down the river round the Dauntless fri- gate and back three times. The wind hanging to the northward and westward rendered it free to the vessels when bound down the river, and a dead beat homewards. The following were the entries, and the order in which they took up their stations, No. 1 being the weathermost vessel, and next to the committee vessel, one minute allowance for tonnage:— STATION. YACHT. TONS. OWNER. 1. ALGERINE 10 F. Rosomon 2. FOLLST 12 W. L. Parry 3. MIDGE 13 J. B. IIepburn 4. QUIVER 12 Capt Chamberlain The Folly and the Quiver are so well known as to need no fur- ther remark. The Midge belonged to Hamble, and though a likely- loolcing craft, was, throughout, very sluggish in her move- ments. The little Algerine was built by her owner, Mr Rosomon, some few months back after his own designs, but bears a strong resemblance to Hatcher's school; this was her maiden appearance. At 12: 40 the starting gun was fired, and the Algerine was the first to be off, her canvas being set with great alacrity. She made a reach in towards the Pier on the port tack, and then worked up to the northward. She was, however, closely followed by the Quiver and the Folly, who first kept their reach on the starboard tack, followed lastly by the Midge, which for some time scarcely moved. The Algerine was the first to get round the flagboat off' Cracknore, closely followed by the Quiver, then the Folly and Midge. The wind being free for the yachts down the river, with a rattling breeze, their balloon topsails were soon in requisition. At 12: 49 the Quiver had the misfortune on jibing round the flagboat to carry away her topmast, which caused her some little delay, and on returning past the pier she had dropped into the third place. Algerine led the way throughout the course down the river, closely followed by the Folly. At 1: 5 the Quiver had contrived to set the stump of the topmast, or some spar as a substitute, 011 which she managed to set a small topsail. There was now great excitement among the spectators, as the Algerine held her own, though with her antagonist apparently gaining upon her when running free. About half- past one they rounded the Dauntless within a trifle of each other, and then reached across the river prepared to beat back. After making about four tacks the Folly weathered the Algerine and kept the lead until nearly the finish of the last round of the course. About two o'clock they were all in a cluster, as viewed from the pier, and at 2: 10, being between the Boscawen and the committee's vessel, the Folly had to luff up, and then keep away, to pass clear of the numerous yachts which had brought up in the neighbourhood. The wind somewhat dropped, and the following is the order and time on completing the first round :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. FOLLY 2 24 18 MIDGE 2 34 42 I QUIVER 2 37 30 ALGERINE .... 2 29 55 j | From hence they proceeded on the second round of the course with light battling airs, and on rounding the flagboat the Quiver had got the second place, the Folly still leading, and both had shaken off the Algerine, which was now nine minutes behind the Folly. About 2: 45 the Algerine recovered her berth and became second. They had now set their balloon topsails, but it dropped to a calm, and the flood tide had set in. The Folly, to shun the tide, kept close in to the West Quay, while the others were amid- channel. It was soon a dead calm, and the vessels drifted up the river; then came a catspaw, then a dead calm, and in this dilemma they remained for above half an hour. There was a threatening cloud hanging to the northward, and after the yachts had drifted full a quarter of a mile from their former positions „ a light breeze sprang up, and the Algerine and Quiver came up with the Folly hand over hand. At length the latter took the breeze and again made a start, and on returning past the pier the following were their positions:— H. M. S. I H. M. S.

The regatta annually provided for the amusement of the towns- people and good of the various metropolitan rowing clubs by the Kingston Rowing Club was held on Tuesday, July 7, under more favourable auspices than in 1862, and although one or two little untoward circumstances occurred in the course of the day, still the Kingston Rowing Club may congratulate themselves on having drawn together to their regatta representatives from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and some of the best men in the London and West London Rowing Clubs, while the presence of two new clubs cannot fail to give great satisfaction, this being the first time the Ariel and Twickenham Rowing Clubs have put in an appearance at Kingston. The inviting programme held out by the club included Senior and Junior Fours, Open Gigs, Local Gigs, and Tradesmen's Gigs, Open Pairs, Senior and Junior Sculls, and three scratch Eight- oared Races. This had the effect of bringing together a tidy muster of competitors, while the towing paths and Mes- senger's Island presented a most picturesque appearance. A picked crew of London watermen conveyed the various umpires to watch the races, while John Phelps was judge, and the intervals between the heats were pleasantly filled with the playing of the 3d Surrey Rifles. The following is an account of the racing, the distance in every case being from the top of the Waterworks at Ditton to Kingston Bridge; and the numbers on the left denote the stations, beginning from Surrey.

Here Mr Innes ob- tained a trifling lead, and Mr Atherstone soon afterwards resigned the contest, having been seized, we are told, with the cramp while leading. THIRD HEAT. 1.

Immediately afterwards, however, he lay down to his work, and put on spurt after spurt, Mr Reid never being safe from his attempts till they reached the winning post, where there was not more than a clear length between them. FINAL HEAT. 3. E. B. Michell ( Magdalene College, Oxford) 1 2. N. Reid ( Kingston Rowing Club) 0 1. C. E. Innes ( London Rowing Club) 0 Mr Michell, as before, came away with the lead, and holding his opponents with ease, won by four lengths. The race between the others, however, was very exciting, and they never left one another till close to the chapel, where Mr Innes, who had be- come exhausted, was beaten off. JUNIOR FOUES. 3.

The West London men came away with the lead, followed by Twickenham, Kingston last. West London, rowing well, rapidly improved their position, and Kingston collaring Twick- enham, a splendid neck and neck encounter took place be- tween them to Messenger's Island, where the Twickenham party fell out. The West London crew had by this time ac- quired a lead of a clear length, hut Kingston rowing after them, had sensibly reduced the gap just before they reached the chapel, when the YVest London party crossed once or twice to give them their wash, and close to home the Kingston crew, spurting gamely, drew on their stern, and there was a foul, West London going in first by half a length, with Twickenham two lengths behind Kingston. On the umpire being appealed to, he decided that the Kingston club had won by the foul, owing to the others crossing them after having once taken their water. The West London men, however, claimed that they were straight at the actual moment of collision, and, in consequence of their complaint, a committee meeting was called soon afterwards, when the umpire's decision was confirmed.

II. m. s. FOLLY 3 32 5 ALGERINE .... 3 34 20 It will be seen that the two last vessels were abreast of each other, and only a difference of about three minutes from first to last. In this manner they continued on the second round, under similar circumstances as in the former round, but having only a light breeze. The following is the time noted on completing the second round of the course:— II. M. S. I H. M. S. I II. M. S. FOLLY ........ 6 38 20 QUIVER 5 38 40 MIDGE 4 47 30 ALGERINE .... 5 35 30 | | The piers and wharfs were now crowded with spectators, and the scene around quite beautiful, other matches being proceeded with, which rendered it somewhat difficult for the contending yachts to thread their way through the maze of boats and sailing vessels. A fine breeze had now sprung up again from the N. W., but the flood was strong against them on proceeding down the river, and it was somewhat difficult to make out their respective positions until their return towards the Boscawen, when the Folly was observed still leading by about a quarter of a mile to wind- ward in advance of the Algerine. Then followed some pretty manteuvring among these two leading yachts. Both of them reached over towards the mouth of the itchen. Nothing could excel the beautiful handling of the Algerine, she was so quick in stays; no sooner was her helm down than she was round like a top. She had to make several short tacks in working up over the oyster grounds on the Southampton shore, gaining each time on her renowned antagonist, and it appeared to all that she would save the two minutes which she had to claim from the Folly. She now made a tack towards the platform, and subse- quently four short tacks inshore, each time heading the Folly It was evidently the final struggle, and she passed the goal about two minutes in advance of her antagonist, who reached short of the mark. The Algerine was consequently declared the winner, and the following is the time at which the match was decided :— H. M. s. 1 H. M. S. I H. M. s. ALGERINE .... 8 17 30 | FOLLY 8 19 30 | QUIVER 8 32 0 Midge not timed, but came in about half an hour afterwards. While this race was going on, and it occupied the whole after- nooa, the following matches took place, which require no observa- tion beyond naming the order in which they were decided and the prizes awarded: — SEGSND MATCH, for sailing boats 23ft and under:— Lizzie, 20ft, Mr R. Jurd, last round 5: 48: 30, prize £ 6; Cross House, 23ft, Mr J. Eodgkinson, last round 5: 53: 12, prize £ 3 ; Blue Jacket, i9ft, Mr W. Morton, not timed; Fay, 17ft, Mr C.

This was a very excitisg match as between the Lizzie and the Squall, there • being scarcely a minute between the two boats in the first round of the course, and about two minutes in the second round, the Squall in the/ early part having tke lead. They are both cele- brated boats it these water* • The Lizzie was built by Hatcher, and the ftiuall - fey Stockharrr, of West Quay.

The drawing' will take place on Tut ^ day, July 15, at the eJab house, King's Arms, Lo^ er Thames- street. A capital race had been looked forward to here, but the Loudon Rowing Club, who exhibited marked improvement upon their Henley form, came clean away, and their opponents never stood a shadow of a chance, London winning easily by three lengths.

Payne ( cox) 0 Blake and partner took the lead, followed by Goulter and Gray, the Benns last. Blake and Peagrift had increased their lead to a clear length at Messenger's Island, and a desperate race between the others, in which both boats rowed very wildly, ended in the Benns rowing on to Goulter and partner at the bottom of the Island; after this Benn and his brother eased, and allowed Goulter and Gray to get wide of them. They then quietly rowed them down, and collaring the leading pair close to home, the Benns, as usual, went in the winners, while Blake and partner shutting up, Goulter and Gray rowed up second, a leugtli behind the Benns.

St Vincent Jervis ( Kingston Rowing Club) 0 Custance, w ho started very rapidly, had the lead, and held it half way down the Waterworks, when Mr Michell passed him, led by five or six lengths at the island, and won as he pleased. Mr Jervis was astern all the way. LOCAL GIGS. 2. T. Bell and C. C. Mowbray ( Kingston Rowing Club) 1 1. T. Bond and J. S. Atherstone ( Twickenham Rowing Club) 0 The Kingston pair started with the lead, closely pressed by their opponents, who fought them very hard down to the island, where only a length separated them. After this, however, the Twicken- ham pair steered very wildly, and Kingston won by two lengths. 2. F. W. Bryant and F. J. Tyler ( West London Rowing Club) 1 1. II. B. Middleton aud E. B. Michell ( Magdalene College, Oxford) 0 The West London pair led in the first few strokes, and ev6r afterwards had the race completely in their hands, winning very easily. IRISH MODEL YACHT CLUB. JULY 4.— This match was originally intended for yachts of the second and fourth classes, but the latter did not fill," which is the more extraordinary, as the harbour is full of small yachts and boats, many of them possessing great merit both for sailing and sea- going qualities, and the liberal prizes offered each year should attract their owners to take advantage of almost their only chance during the season of really and fairly trying their boats, while the practice of sailing all the club matches with amateur crews ought to create a spiiit of rivalry amongst those young owners who wish really to learn how to " steer and handle their own craft. The day was bright and beautiful, with a nice light breeze from the south east, arid at two o'clock the three boats entered for the second class match took up their stations. Nearly every yacht in port was already under weigh or preparing to go out to watch the race ; amongst " them we recognised the fine cutter Gitana. bear- ing the Vice- Commodore's flag of the Royal Irish Yacht Club; the Witch, with the red and white cross swallow tail, with two balls, which marks the Rear- Commodore of the Royal St George ; the beautiful little schooner Violet and the stately Mirage of the Royal Thames; the well- known and famed Cygnet, of the Royal Cork; the screw schooner Ranger and the schooner Gertrude of the same club, together with the Belle, Amy, Countess, Nymph, Norma, Zepliyretta, Petrel, Isa, Tar, and many others. At 2: 10 the gun was iired, and the Pet, to windward and quickest on her legs, took the lead through the harbour's mouth, closely followed by the Magnet, with the Dove a little astern— all under No. 1 jibs and topsails, the wind light, and the course a close haul to the South Burford Buoy. The Pet was sluggish in the light breeze. and soon had the Magnet on her weather quarter, who surely aud steadily gave the go- by, declaring thus early in the race that in a light breeze and smooth water she has no competitors amongst the light weights of the bay. The Pet vainly struggled in the toils, and soon the Dove was also upon her; the contest here was longer; but weight and power will be served, and the Dove went into the second place, the Pride of Lough Corrib yielding to the old champion of the Cove of Cork. The buoy was reached by the Magnet at exactly three o'clock, and away she went like a steamboat dead before it to the north buoy, followed at 3: 4: 30 by Dove and at 3: 5 by Pet. Once fairly before the wind the Pet began to draw on the Dove, both sending up their balloon jibs, and the Pet her large topsail, with a 32- foot yard, which was set with a speed very creditable to her amateur crew, and the effect of of which was seen by her flying right up alongside her rival, but unluckily so near the buoy that to avoid a foul she was forced to go up on the outside, which of course when they jibed put her dead under her lee, where she was completely corered by the Dove's mainsail. Away they went alongside, as if lashed to- gether, but of course greatly impeding each other, while the Magnet, in the foreground, quietly shifting her topsail for her large balloon, increased her distance every minute. So matters continued for a mile or two, until the captain of the Pet, finding it useless to lie thus helpless, and with his head, to borrow the language of the Ring, " in chance^'," quietly hauled in his main- sheet inch by inch, and thus stopping his vessel and gaining by his loss, shot across his opponent's stern, and out on his weather. Both shoved their helms hard down, and for a few moments stood right away for Kingstown ; but soon repenting of this folly, which could only end in handing over the race to the Magnet, were soon again on their proper course, Pet to windward, from which she soon began to draw away, and the East Bar buoy was rounded— Magnet 4: 27, Pet 4: 34: 30, Dove 4: 35: 30. It was then an easy reach to Southbar, and the balloon jibs soon gave place to working sails; but the Pet rather stupidly kept her large topsail aloft., and set a large reaching jib, under, we suppose, the usual but mistaken idea that large sails insure fast sailing— a piece of folly for which she soon paid the penalty— for, after rounding the buoy one minute and a half before the Dove, she hauled to the wind, and soon found her rival forereaching and weathering her hand over hand, stood in for the shore for about five minutes, and then tacked to starboard out into the bay-, the Magnet coming up inshore, the best course, as she increased her distance, and went in an easy winner at 5: 27, followed by Dove at 5: 36, the poor little Pet sailing a good third at. 5: 4. The Challenge Cup of the Club, the fifth year of the contest, is fixed for the 13th July, the day but one before the regatta of the Royal Irish; but unless some very unexpected piece of good fortune, or some uncommonly fast antagonist turns up from foreign parts, the Magnet is pretty safe to add this, for the third and last time, to her list of trophies, and her owner to reign for another year over the little squadron who assemble under the red burgee with the yello w anchor. MILITARY ROWING REGATTATAT YORK. On Wednesday, J uly 8, a rowing regatta, promoted by the non- commissioned officers of the 16th Lancers, came off on the river Ouse, at York, and afforded an excellent and enjoyable half day's sport for a large and respectable concourse of spectators. The boat- house of the officers of the regiment was cleared and used for dispensing refreshment, a marquee was put up for the use of the crews, and a tent occupied a place on the side of the river for the accommodation of the band, which played during the after- noon. In the neighbourhood of the band a gondola afforded a platform from which the lady friends of the officers witnessed the contests ; whilst a steamer was chartered for the use of the umpire and starter, the stewards, the committee, and their friends. Lieut.- Col Dixon ( of the 16th Lancers) acted as umpire and starter. Major Halton, Capt. Armstrong, and Lieut Wauchope as stewards. The races were all well- eon tested, though it was acknowledged that there existed an advantage to several of the erews, from the handicapper not having been aware of the exact qualifications of the boats. The first contest was between crews selected from each troop of the two ^ imdrQim wtevh occupy WINGFIELD SCULLS. The entries for this race closed on Thursday evening, July 9, at Mr Searle's boat yard, Stangate, and are as under:— Messrs J as. Wallace, Tyne Amateur Rowing Club. C. Norris, London Rowing Club. J. E. Parker, University College, Oxford. E. B. Michell, Magdalen College, Oxford. A. O. Lloyd, Leander Club. II. W. Custance, London Rowing Club. The challengers are to row on Monday, July 20, starting at five o'clock, from Putney to Mortlake ; and the winner will have to contend on Thursday, the 23d, against Mr W. B. Woodgate, of Brasenose College, Oxford, who is the holder. It is many years since this race has produced so splendid an entry, and some fine racing may be looked forward to. THAMES ROWING CLUB. The members of this club contended in a four- oared race on Saturday, July 4. The River Queen accompanied, and Mr Oswin officiated as umpire. The following is the result:— FIRST HEAT. Hardle's crew ( Middlesex).. 11 O'Donoghue's crew ( Surrey) 0 MR HARDIE'S CREW. I MR O'DONOGHUE'S CREW. 1. P. W. Thomson 1. II. M. Tavlor 2. E. W. Millar [ 2. E. H. Scovell 3. E.' Anderfton I s. A. Beazeley 4. F. Hardie 4. E. O'Donoghue P. N. Applegath ( cox) | J. Peckover ( cox) Mr O'Donoghue took a very good lead, and held it to the pier, when Mr Hardie's crew, who had been rowing wild, and who ap- peared to have sustained some damage, came up, and after a good race for 200yards began to show ahead,; increasing their; lead they cleared themselves, and took their opponents' water at the; Bishop's Creek, where the coxswain of Mr O'Donoghue's crew was rather wild in his steerage. This lead the winners kept to the Soap Works Bridge, when the others put on a most determined spurt, and went half way up, but again fell behind, and were beaten by two lengths. Course— Putney to Hammersmith. SECOND HEAT. Mr Catty's crew ( Surrey).. 11 Mrlngham's crew( Middlesex) 0 MR CATTY'S CREW. I MR INGHAM'S CREW. 1. S. E. Cocker 1. p. Stelnman 2. T. Kendall | 2. J.

The course was from Hammersmith to Putney, and on the word being given, they both got away together, and so continued for a mile, when Mr Ingham fell slightly astern, but in the course of the next hundred yards had again come up, and so remained to within fifty yards of the finish, when his coxswain taking the crew rather wide, the others were enabled to go slightly in front, and won by a yard and a half. FINAL HEAT. Mr Hardie's crew( Middlesex) 1 | Mr Catty's crew ( Surrey).. 0 It was evident that the hard work in the second heat had told its tale on Mr Catt3'' s crew, who fell astern from the start, the others going ahead, and winning by four lengths. The course was Putney to Hammersmith. Dixon N. L. M'Ewan Davies ( cox) A. Short UNDINE ROWING CLUB. The weekly general meeting of this club ( formerly the London Amateur Rowing Club) was held on Thursday evening, Jul}' 9, at the club house, Union Hotel, Air- street, Regent- street, when, after the routine business, the entries for the next race of the club- Junior Sculls— closed, with t. tie following names:— FIRST HEAT.

Taylor ( cox) | H. Du Pre ( cox) . G. Griffith j A. Maude ( cox) An even start was effected, and aftera little wayM'Ewan appeared in advance. He retained his advantage to the end, winning by five or six lengths, Vidal second, Bovill third, and Griffith fourtk. M'Ewan's rowing was decidedly good throughout. JUNIOR SCULLS.— The first heat of this race was rowed on Tues- day, July 7, when E. C. Williams came in ahead by about, five lengths. The final heat was rowed the next day, when the follow- ing was the order:— F. Harlcy 1 | F. Hunt 2 | E. C. Williams .. 3 The course was from the Albert, Battersea, to Vauxhall Bridge. The following also rowed:— Pownall, Wason, Ellison, and Whit- taker. The water was very rough, and the race was won with great ease by Harley. NORTH LONDON ROWING CLUB. The next general meeting of the members of this club will be held at the Quadrant Hotel, Air- street, Regent- street, on Monday, July 13, at 7: 30 p. m. Owing to Barnes Regatta falling on the same day as that fixed for the junior scullers race, the committee have arranged it shall be rowed on Thursday, July 23, instead, from Putney to Hammersmith.

Crout of Woolwich and Joseph Heath of Greenwich, was rowed on Tues- day, July 7, from Putney to Mortlake, and proved a most in- teresting contest. With Crout our readers are well acquainted, as he has been engaged in several contests during the last two years, having won them all. He is 24 years of age, stands about five feet six inches, and weighs 8st 121b or thereabout, so he may fairly be considered a feather weight, although he has pluck and endurance enough for one double his size. Heath is not much known, al- though he will be remembered as having rowed a desperate stern race with Horace Cole for the Coat and Badge at the last Thames Regatta. Since then he has greatly improved, and during his stay at Murphy's, the Red Lion, Hammersmith, where he trained, he exhibited such speed that he rose rapidly in the opinion of the public. He is 23 years of age, stands five feet nine inches, and weighed list 21b. Crout trained, as usual, at the Feathers, and rowed in a boat built by Jewitt, while Heath patro- nised Biffen, the boats in which Cooper and Everson rowed being again rivals on this occasion. The Venus ( Capt Styles) had been engaged by the men, and was well patronised, betting being 5 to 4 on Heath, owing, probably, to Crout having been far from well during tlielastweek. and hecertaiwly exhibited in consequence some want of condition at the post; Heath, on the contrary, being in line fettle. Driver accompanied Crout as pilot, Joe Leach laoking after Heath, who won the toss. Heath's father stood umpire for the Greenwich lad, Mr Mulherion of Wool- wich represented Crout, and Capt Styles was referee. They lost some time on the scratch, and when they got off at twenty minutes past six Crout started so rapidly that he was mere than clear at the steamboat dummy, led by three- quarters of another length at the Duke's Head, and by a clear length at Simmons's. The race indeed resembled that be- tween Chambers and Green very much, for Crout continued to increase his lead very rapidly, and gaining foot by foot, was two clear lengths away at the Point. His rowing throughout this distance was so good that his backers laid 4 to 1 on him with the greatest freedom ; a state of odds which Heath's party took, as their man was pulling a fine, powerful stroke astern, and was known to be able to row the distance. After a slight rest Crout renewed his exertions, and maintained his com- manding lead till they were opposite the High Bridge, when Heath made a powerful effort to catch him, and drew slightly upon him ; he gained little by little right through the shoot, and Crout, whose pace had clearly told its tale, was barely more than half a clear length ahead off' the Dung Wharf. Crout held him from here to the Crab Tree, and the pace continued very fine, till Heath, putting 011 another very fine spurt, drew over his opponent at the Soap Works Bridge, and immediately afterwards went clear in front as though Crout was standing still, and led by two lengths under Hammersmith Bridge, reached in just under 10 minutes. Heath, favoured by the lumpy water in Corney Reach, increased his lead still more by the time they reached Chiswick Church ; Crout, however, spurted with the utmost game again and again, and frequently reducing the gap, was only three lengths behind at Barnes Bridge, reached in 21min27sec; and the same distance separated them at the finish, the whole time being 25min 25sec. Heath rowed with tolerable ease the last mile, although Crout put on such spurts as evidently to give him much pain, and it is to be hoped that the gallant little fellow's plucky exertions will be re- membered by those whose money he has always hitherto landed. GREAT YARMOUTH WATER FROLIC.— SAD ACCIDENT.— This event, took place on Monday, July 6, and although in many res- pects it went off well, the pleasures of the day were marred by a most unfortunate accident, attended with the instant death of two men in the prime of life. The weather was brilliant, and a great number of excursionists and pleasure seekers went down from Yarmouth in steamboats, wherries, & c. The programme com- prised two matches, the first for a piece of plate of the value of £ 12 12s, sailed for by yachts of any rig, of 10 tons and upwards; and the second a piece of plate of the value of £ 10 10s, sailed for by yachts of any rig under 10 tons. The course in each case was from starting buoys between Burgh and the Berney Arms Tavern to a buoy below the " Dickey work," then back to a buoy near the mouth of the Norwich river, returning and finishing each round at the committee boat. The whole distance traversed was about 10 miles, and the regulations of the Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club were observed in both matches. There was a fine leading wind from the S. E., and the animation of the scene was ineesased by a plentiful display of bunting from the numerous craft wliicb Sad assembled, The managing committee comprised Messrs G. Diver, O. Diver, and J. Tomlinson, jun, those gentle- men being assisted in their labours by Mr Woolston, while Mr W". M. Bond officiated as umpire. The entries for the first match comprised the Red Rover, 14 tons, Mr 8. Nightingale, Great Yar- mouth ; the Belvidere, 9 tons, Mr W. H. Clabburn, Norwich ; the Violet, 15 tons, Mr P. Bennet ( one of the fleet of the Royal Har- wich Yacht Club) ; the Wranderer, 14 tons, Mr R. J. H. Harvey, Brundall ( Commodore of the Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club) ; and the Alabama, 14 tons, Mr E. 8. Trafford, Wrexham. The Myth was also entered, but her bowsprit was carried away by a collision with a wherry ; nevertheless she subsequently made good her damages, and took part in the second match. The start was effected in good style about noon, each yacht, going off with her sails up. The Red Rover took the lead from the first, and main- tained it to the end. Thetimes seem to have been recorded rather carelessly as regards the last round, but the conclusion of the first round was noted as follows:— Red Rover 12: 30, Ala- bama 12: 33: 15, Wanderer 12: 35, Belvidere 12: 36, Violet 12: 37. In the second round the Belvidere retired; the others came in as fol- lows :— Red Rover 1: 0: 14, Alabama 1: 16: 50, Wanderer 1: 17: 30, Violet 1: 26. The Red Rover completed the third and final round at 1: 37, the Alabama being a long distance astern, while the others were " nowhere." It was during the first match that the lamentable accident to which reference was just made occurred. A wherry named Ruby, crowded to excess, was sailing up the stream at about one o'clock. The Red Rover passed by, and a crowd rushed to the leeward side of the wherry in order to observe her progress. Unfortunately the supports of the hatches gave way, and coming down with immense force upon a number of people below severely injured many of them. Two men, indeed ( Chas. Rush- mer, landlord of the Stowmarket Inn at Yarmouth, and a tailor named Tripp), were killed on the spot. A number of men fell into the water, but were promptly rescued. The entries for the second match were as follow:— The Myth, 9 tons, Mr R. J. H. Harvey; the Enchantress ( latteen), 6 tons, Mr H. P. Green, Wrexham ( Vice- Commodore of the Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club); the Vindex, 9 tons, Mr J. Tomlinson, Great Yarmouth ; the Belvidere, 9 tons, Mr W. H Clabburn, Norwich ; the Vampire, 8 tons, Mr W. S. Everett, Cove; the Blanche, 7 tonr, ^ Capt R. Morris, Norwich ; the Miranda, 6 tons, Mr R. B. Hum- frey, Norwich ; the Privateer, Mr Minto, of Hull; and the Pride of the Yare, MrTeasdale, Yarmouth. The Iris, Mr A, D. Stone, was also entered. The start took place at about two p m., and the Myth took the lead, winning the Cup easily, but no official note of the times at which the rounds were completed could be ob- tained. In the first round the Vindex and Enchantress fouled each other, and it was stated that some ill- feeling arising out of a late match at Cantley prevailed among the crews. The Miranda was second. CHILDS AND DIXON—£ 15 A SIDE.— The scullers match between these men, both caulkers of Limehouse, came off on Monday, July 6, over the old below- bridge course, from North Woolwich to Limehouse Hole and back, and proved a most extraordinary affair. Childs, who is 38 years of age, has rowed many men be- low bridge with success, and was once a very good man in the kind of craft they pulled in, old- fashioned boats. He however, has evidently gone off, although he thought himself so good that he gave his opponenent two lengths' start. This may be accounted for by the fact that Dixon has never sculled before ( although his powers as a ped are well known), and consequently the race was nothing but an exhibition of bad rowing from beginning to end. Dixon is ten years his opponent's junior, and both pulled at about 11 stone. Childs had taken careof himself at home, and Dixonhad been for a few days at Erith. TheGannet steamer, Capt Mackay, had been engaged by Dixon's party to accompany the race, and had a large freight on board. Level money was about the state of the betting, with a slight call in favour of the old one. Shortly after four o'clock the men appeared at their posts, Childs accom- panied by a six, with W, Myers as pilot, Woodard looking after Dixon in an eight. The umpires were Mr Jameson of the Camden's Head, Limehouse, for Childs, and Tom Cannon for Dixon, while Tom White stood referee. Dixon, who won the toss, having chosen the south side, they got off at half- past four with a stiff south east wind up the Reach. Dixon, instead of his allotted two lengths, had taken seven or eight, and no one objecting, he improved this lead very fast, and was nearly twenty lengths in front at Charlton, his boat seeming to be free from water, while Childs never cleared his sculls, and shipped the seas at every stroke. Dixon consequently increased hi3 lead ad libitum, and it was all 10 to 1, when off the Anchor and Hope Dixon caught his scull against something, and away it went, taking part of the rowlock along with it. The referee had previous to this repeatedly cautioned Dixon's cutter against rowing ahead of Childs, and on their going right ahead of him to give Dixon his scull he at once gave the race to Childs, and left his post. After this Dixon went ahead again, but Childs fairly collared him, and went ahead before they reached Black- wall Point, Dixon again losing his scull, being taken into his cut- ter, and starting again in pursuit. Childs of course won as he pleased, and a dispute raised as to his own cutter going ahead of Dixon after he lost his scull was settled by the referee observing that Dixon had then placed himself out of the race. Dixon has challenged his opponent to a renewal of the contest at Putney, and wiil no doubt row much better in smooth water. The money will be given up at Mr Jameson's, Camden's Head, Church- lane,. Limehouse, on Thursday evening, July 16. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— The yacht Amelia, of Cannes, left that port on Sunday, July 5, for a cruise on the Italian coasts. The Minister of Marine has just taken a step which may be regarded as the complement of the liberal measures already accorded to pleasure navigation. The service of sailors on board yachts will be officially regarded as tantamount to service on board merchant ships. Arcachon Regatta takes place on July 12, and Calais regatta 011 Monday, July 20. We recently reported the extremely unfavourable circumstances under which it was attempted to hold Marseilles regatta. A portion of the programme had, in fact, to be postponed, and it has since been celebrated with weather as calm as that on the first day was boisterous. M le Comte Bouet- Willaumez, maritime prefect of Toulon, arrived in the roadstead on the second occasion with the two frigates Themis and Ma- gicienne ; and all the pleasure flotilla of the port hastened to put to sea in order to salute the vice- admiral, who is a powerful patron of Mediterranean regattas. The small yachts of the third series sailed with a breeze so light that it took them a very long time to accomplish the distance allotted to them ; in fact, it was only by vigorously using their rudders— in a very irregular fashion — that they reached the goal, being almost becalmed towards the close. The prize was won by the Papillou, M Ollive ; but the Hazard, M Caire, was almost alongside her; the Idee, M Pedemont, was third. A match was also organised at Marseilles on Sunday, June 28, in which yachts of all three series competed. On this day there was a fine encouraging breeze, and the winners were— in the first series, the Zephir, M Craviot; in the second series, the Rosita, M Arghailliers ; and in the third series, the Arnelie, M Marengo. An important regatta is announced for Sunday, July 26, at Toulon. Besides the ordinary matches, the programme Will comprise special contests for the ships' crews of the fleet lying at this important naval station. Ciotat regatta is fixed for Aug 15, and the Marseilles Nautical Circle announces a final meeting for the season on Sept 6. The taste for aquatic amusements is considered to be extending on the Mediterranean littoral. HORSEFEHRY ( WESTMINSTER) REGATTA.— Under the title of the St George's, Hanover- square, and St John's and St Mar- garet's, Westminster, Amalgamated Horseferry Regatta, the watermen and lightermen belonging to the Westminster Philan- thropic Society rowed their annual regatta, in pair- oared boats, for a purse of sovereigns, on Monday, July 6, 8. Bloomfield andE. Martin being the managers. First heat: R. Dolwin and J. Walker 1, G. Beckett and W. Lane 2, T. Coombes and T. Penfold 0, J. Plumridge and A. Hunt 0. Distance from Lambeth Bridge to the Suspension Bridge, Chelsea, down round a boat moored off the Duke of Buccleuch's and back to Lambeth, a distance cer- tainly calculated to bring out the best men. Beckett, and partner took the lead and held it for half a mile, closely pressed by Dol- win and Walker, the third and fourth crews falling astern from the commencement. Dolwin and partner then went ahead, and, despite the many attempts on the part of their opponents to pass them, succeeded in winning by a quarter of a length.— Second heat : Distance as before. J. Pinfold and T. Haywood 1, E. Blyde and E. Hunt 2, H. Green and G. Thompson 0, W, Meckiff and 8, Martin 0. Pinfold and Haywood went away from the start, and % on as they liked. There was a rattling race from Vauxhall to Westminster Bridges for second place, but Green and Thompson were ulti- mately beaten by six lengths. Meckiff and Martin did not finish. — Final heat: Distance, Vauxhall Bridge to the Duke of Buc- cleuch's, up to the Suspension Bridge, Chelsea, down and finish at Lambeth Bridge. G. Beckett and W. Lane 1, R. Dolwin and J. Walker 2, J. Pinfold and T. Haywood 3, E. Blyde and E. Hunt 4. As in the first heat the boats separated, two taking the van and two the rear. Dolwin and Walker led for a mile, but the win- ners gradually stole up, and after an exciting race opposite the Parliament House they went into first place, and there continued, winning by a couple of lengths.

GREENWICH AMATEUR REGATTA.— The fifth regatta by lands- men at Greenwich came off on Monday, July 6, under the ma- nagement of Alexander Lowe, and, as usual, attracted a very large number of spectators. The prizes were a silver cup for the first man, a silver watch for the second, and money prizes for the others; and the course was twice round the town, commencing at the Dreadnought Hospital Ship, and finishing at the hospital. First heat, by East End men: H. Stafford 1, F. Parkinson 2, J. George 3. Parkinson took the lead, and after an excellent race once round the town, Stafford overhauled his opponent and came in the winner by a length.— Second head, ' by West End men: H. Kenchley 1, D. M'Lachlin 2, J. Perkins 3. This was also a very close race, and Kenchley, getting the lead half way, won by half a length; Perkins a length and a half ahead of George.— Third heat ( four worst): Parkinson 1, M'Lachlin 2, George 3 ( fifth prize), Perkins 4 ( sixth prize). After a very close race with all, Parkinson headed M'Lachlin by half a length; the others well up.— Fourth heat ( four best): Stafford 1, Parkinson 2, Kenchley 3, M'Lachlin 4 ( fourth prize). Stafford soon proved himself the best man, and, holding the lead all the way, won by three lengths; Parkinson was second, but, owing to Kenchley having been fouled seriously, he was allowed to row in the final heat, when they came in in the following order: Stafford 1, Par- kinson 2, Kenchley 3. Stafford led from the first and won easily, but the other two were exceedingly well matched, and after a most exciting race, in which the leads varied, Parkinson barely headed his opponent for second prize by half a length. EXCELSIOR BOAT CLUB, GREENWICH.— This club rowed a pair- oared outrigged gig race, with coxswains, for prizes presented b\ * he captain, 011 Saturday, July 4. The course was from Millwal! * "" to Blackwall, and the following crews started:— Whit".-— C Chayter and O. Britten, J. Kearns ( cox), 1. Green: H. Anderson and A. Herron, H. Brown ( cox), 2. Blue: J. T. Willcox and J. Whatley, A. Hockins ( cox), 3. Pink : W. Stewart and J. Gos- ling, J. Stewart ( cox), 4. An excellent start was effected, and they all kept well together for half a dozen strokes, when White came out and took a good lead, Blue holding second place, Pink next, and Green, who were taking it very easy, bringing up the rear. No change took place till past the Crown and Sceptre, when Green began to improve their position and passed Pink, who re- peatedly pulled up, but were unable to re- pass them. Opposite Cubitt's Pier White still held a lead of three or four lengths; and here Green began to collar Blue, who were not to be had, and spurted away till within a dozen lengths of Blackwall Pier, where Green's stroke roused himself up, and laying down to the work passed Blue, but. was too late to catch White, who, pulling re- markably well and with great power, and apparently quite able to race for another mile, went in winners by three or four lengths. Mr J. E. Brain, the captain, acted as umpire in a club four, and his crew seemed to have hard work to keep up witii the winners. The prizes were presented at the Crown and Sceptre Hotel. AQUATICS AT LYNN.— A meeting, convened by the Mayor, was held on Friday, July 3, to take preliminary measures for holding a regatta at Lynn. There was a very small attendance, but it was agreed that a regatta should be held in the Eau Brink Cut on Thursday, Aug 6, and a subscription list was opened to provide for the expenses. A rowing match came off the same evening be- tween the Zephyr and the Queen, two boats belonging to the Lynn Neptune Boat Club. The toss for places was won by the Zephyr, which therefore got the current side, an advantage against which the crew of the Queen could not successfully compete. The course extended over about 2| miles. The Zephyr crew had it all their own way throughout, Jand won easily.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP. MACE AND RYALL.— Jem Mace and Bill Ryall have again posted a fiver each for the Championship, and must continue to make similar instalments till further notice. GALLANT MILL IN THE SHEFFIELD CIRCUIT FOR £ 50 BETWEEN POTTS AND HANNIGAN.— Monday, July 6, was the day appointed for the decision of the fight, for £ 25 a side, between young Geo. Potts of Sheffield, who is we believe not yet 19 years of age, and J. Hannigan of Barnsley, brother of the late well known Nick Hannigan. As most of our readers are aware, this is only Potts's second appearance within the " magic circle," his first encounter being with the Derby Lad, for £ 15 a side, some two months ago, whom he easily vanquished. They met at the Flonch Inn, near Broadhill, at an early hourjin the morning, between 2,000 and 3,000 spectators being present. Some time was lost in conse- quence of the " Blues" making their unwelcome appearance, and a move a mile or two further was agreed upon. About twelve o'clock a good ring was formed, the betting being 6 to 4 on the Sheffielder. Round 1. On the men toeing the mark there was a- striking difference, Potts standing well up, whilst Hannigan moved all over the ring; at length they got close, and Potts got on the chest and right side of the head without a return.— 2 : After some sparring Potts gave Hannigan a right- hander on the left eye; the latter, however, rushed in, and received another one on the forehead, returning on the chest, and both were in the end ( jow ii, — 3. This was a good round, the men getting in all parts of the ring, Potts frequently getting in one two without a return. Hannigan gamely took it, and continued boring in, till in the end they got together, when Potts was thrown, Hannigan being on the top.— 4. Potts in this round delivered right and left on both eyes, and in the end slipped down; Hannigan's left optic being nearly closed.— 5. Potts led off, landing a tremendous hit full in the face; Hannigan rushed in, and some warm work ensued at close quarters, of which Potts had rather the best; in the end both were down.— 6. Hannigan led off twice, but did not get home; in a third attempt, however, he delivered a stinging right- hander on the body, which brought on some good exchanges in the favour of Potts, who in the end was down.— 7. Potts got two or three times on the throat without a return, and was then countered on the jaw severely, and got down.— 8. Potts again visited Hannigari's damaged left optic, which was now fast closing, and the right fast following suit; Hannigan returned very slightly on the head; a close, and both down side by side.— 9. This was a scrambling round, in favour of Potts.— 10. Potts led off with his right, which landed heavily on the body, but he was countered on the left eye, when he went down. From this to the 2lst round very little change took place. Potts continually forced the fighting, falling heavily on his man; Hannigan, however, not being idle. After this 45 more rounds were fought, Hannigan getting weaker and weaker, and at last the sponge was thrown up in token of defeat by his seconds. He was fearfully punished, whilst Potts left the ring almost scatheless. The stakes are to be handed over to the winner at Mr J. Horncastle's, Royal Oak, Pond- street, by our re- porter, on Thursday evening, July 16. We have no doubt but that there will be a good muster present to congratulate the winner. We also hope that the loser will not be forgotten. We last week received only £ 5 on account of this match, instead of £ 10. Can our reporter explain this mistake ?

JULY 6 AND 7.— This match drew together at Lord's far more spectators than was expected, considering that the public expected it would be a one- sided contest, so much so, that even 3 to 1 at the commencement was offered 011 England. The County was con- siderably weakened by the misfortune of Fryer, their wicket- keeper, who has lost the sight of an eye, materially affecting his former skill. It was evident that great care had been bestowed upon the wickets, which could not have been in more splendid order, so that a little complaint now and then is not without value. The weather was beautiful, and the umpires, two young ones, having adjusted the timber, the bell announced play, and it was seen that the strongest side had won the toss by the appear- ance of Mortlock and Mr Grace at the wickets. Willsher took the leather, assisted on the other side by Mr Traill. The field was not placed so advantageously as with the extra two it might have been. Play was called at 12: 35! and Mortlock took the first ball from Willsher; the bats made a single each off the over. Mr Traill bowled a maiden, Willsher ditto the next; they then opened their shoulders, Mr Grace, peihaps, rather too much, for wnen he had scored 12, he gave a tremendous skyer, but was let off' by Mr Wathen ; 50 on the telegraph before a wicket wasl got. At 36, Bennett went 011 at Mr Traill's end, with his underhand slows ( which are not so good as his round). In his fourth over, how- ever, Mortlock drove a tidy- paced one back to him, which he held. His 19 comprised a splendid drive from Traill for five, a cut from Willsher for three, two twos, and singles— sum total 52. Griffith occupied the vacancy, and with Mr Grace rattled away at a 50- runs- an- liour pace, until leg b w had to be noted down to the gentleman's name. Total 100. His figures were seven threes ( no four '.), six twos, and singles, prin- cipally drives. Mr Lipscomb was put on Bennett's end at 69 total, and Sewell at Willsher's. The showy player, Hayward, then made his appearance, and, when eight more had been added to the total, Griffith was bowled by the Surrey and " man of Kent player," Griffith's 43 were got in his usual brilliant- hitting style, and com- prised three fours ( all drives), three threes ( two drives and a cut), four twos, & c. Carpenter then came, but Hayward tried to be too clever, and got his deserts, being run out by several yards. He was not at all in good form. He got a three by an overthrow, made a good leg- hit for a four, but nothing else of importance. His ( the fourth) wicket fell for 161 runs. Parr joined Carpenter, and a very fine display of cricket ensued ; both of them exhibited an amount of talent seldom witnessed. Parr was quite in his old defensive* form. The bowling was remarkably good, especially Sewell's, who managed after a while to get one past Carpenter. His figures were a six ( leg- hit for four, and two for an overthrow), two fours ( leg- hits from Bennett), three twos, & c. Upon Carpenter leaving the wicket, 200 was mounted on the telegraph by George Ckatterton and Biddulph, the scorers. Tar- rant joined Parr, but he put his leg where his bat should have been ; total six for 206. Lockyer did not stop either, being im- mediately caught at mid- wicket, and thus seven wickets fell for 207. The eighth, Grundy, brought with Parr a total of 222, when Willsher disturbed his timber. Jackson followed, when Parr, after playing one of the most careful innings that he ever played at Lord's, was got rid of by the renowned left- handed bowler; liis 30 comprised a four ( drive from Willsher), two threes, five twos, and singles. His, the ninth wicket, went for 229. A leg- bye then was the only run scored, and the innings closed at a quarter to six, for 230. Jackson was caught in the slip. The fielding cannot be noticed as good. At six o'clock Kent sent in Ben- nett and Fryer to the bowling of Jackson and Tarrant, and they succeeded in rattling them out as fast as they came in, getting live wickets down on Monday evening in one hour; the first ( Fryer's) fell for 13, of which he scored 11 by a splendid drive from Jackson for five, and three drives from Tarrant for twos. The second and third ( Traill and Bennett) had to retire for a total of 15. Mr Wathen stopped with Willsher, and in- creased the total to 31, making . a cut from Jackson for four, Goodhew then came, and the last ball that was bowled that even- ing ( Monday, July 6) he was caught at point, oft, he said, liis wrist; but the umpire no doubt was the best judge; thus five wickets were disposed of for 48 runs, of which Willsher had con- tributed 23. On TUESDAY, July 7, Mr Kelson joined Willsher, but the latter only scored two more singles. His figures were three fours ( drives from Tarrant and Jackson), a three, a two, and singles; six wickets down for 58 runs, for which number also the seventh went ( Mr Kelson's), who made a one, three, and four. Mr Bar- ber, the eighth, went for 67. The son of the celebrated old wicket- keeper ( present on the ground) contributed a good 13 by steady play, composed of a four ( leg- hit from Tarrant), a three, and singles. He brought Wootton on at Tarrant's end, and Griffith at Jaekson's. Tarrant, however, took the ball again, and disturbed the timber. Baker brought out his bat for two threes; thus the innisgs olosed at 1: 45, on Tuesday, for 121, and that number forced them to follow their innings, which they did to the tune of 104, losing the match in a single innings, and by 5 runs. All over at 5: 30. Willsher again exhibited a masterly display, making his score a nice little 50 in the match. His second, 25, was got by a five ( drive from Hayward), two fours, two threes, a two, and singles. Goodhew played on his wicket, making four threes, two twos, & c. Mr Barber quickly scored 12 by a four ( drive from Wootton), two threes, and singles. Payne made a good drive for four, and brought his bat out. Thus this one- sided affair terminated.

ME EDITOR : How is it that the public have never now the pleasure of seeing some of the best players at the Oval. There seems to be something up, either with the Surrey Club or with the professionals, for when one sees the names of Hayward, Car- penter, and Tarrant refusing to play, even for their own county, against Surrey, the question arises, and the public ought to know the reason of so much animus that seems to exist, for it appears ridiculous that professional cricketers should continue to refuse playing unless they had grave reasons for so doing. If you, Mr. Editor, or any of your readers could enlighten the cricketing world, it ' would oblige your » , & c, Isquiaas. DATE. 1857, July 2..., 1858, July I... GENTLEMEN v PLAYERS- OVAL. JULY 2.— The Oval Ground on Thursday morning week looked a perfect picture on the occasion of the meeting of these two Elevens. The matches that have been played on this ground are as under, with the results :— SIM5S- inn inn Total ( Players 184... 7 — 191 "" ( Gentlemen 63... 125 — 188 Players won by ten wickets. ( Flayers 160... 170 — - 3- 30 "" ( Gentlemen 158... 171 — 329 Players won by three wickets. 1859, June 30 ^ la>;? rs 287- 287 ( Gentlemen 162... 91 — 253 Players won in one innings and 34 runs. 1860, Julyo 328- 80 - 408 J ( Gentlemen 160... 245 — 405 Players won by eight wickets. 1861, July 4 35S- 358 ( Gentlemen 154... 1- 36 — 290 Players won in one innings and 68 runs. 1862, June 29 HIajI? rS 241... 211 - 455 _ } Gentlemen 276... 211 — 487 Drawn. Players had two wickets to go down, and 33 runs to get. This last contest was considered in favour of the Gentlemen. On the present occasion the Gentlemen won the toss, and of course the white cap was sent in as one of the first. Mr R. D. Walke was his companion. Mr Grace, as usual, set to work merrily ; a four, a two, and a five in 110 time. His career, however, was cut short by being caught in the slip— total 18. The " Eton security" for runs joined his brother collegian, and made it warm for the Players. Atkinson and Hodgson, who started, were changed for Griffith and Iddison, but to 110 effect. Willsher was then tried for Griffith, and Caffyn for Iddison. Off Caff'yn the wicket- keeper secured Mr Walker, having played one of his usual de- fensive innings of 40, made by a four, three threes, five twos, and singles ; two down for 96 runs. Mr Daniel came to be slaughtered for " no'at;'' three for 100. Mr Lyttelfcon run out. Thus these two celebrated bats were got rid of more easily than could have been reasonably expected; faur wickets down for 118 runs. The " great performer of 108 runs and eleven wickets in one match" then made his appearance, and by his careful and manly style looked as if another " century" was coming oft. but Willsher stopped him ; he made a five ( drive from him), three threes ( from Caftyn), three twos, and singles; five wickets for 157 runs. Atkinson soon disposed of Mr Dowson, and thus the sixth wicket fell for 164, Mr Mitchell still there. He was joined by Mr F. Burbidge, and it was then thought that a good stand would be made; but, however, Julius, though suffer- ing from lameness, would not drop the 5| oz, and Mr Mitchell had to retire— caught short slip. His figures were three fours ( cut, leg, and a drive), five threes, eleven twos, and singles. This, the 7th wicket, fell for 175 ; the eighth ( Mr Burbidge) fell to the renowned left- handed bowler, and the ninth ( Mr John Walker) was caught at point. The captain had also to succumb to VVill- sher; Mr Alex. Rowley, one of the finest gentlemen players we liare, therefore brought out his bat, but not before he had made a splendid drive from Wilisher for a live. Time twenty- live past four, and company rated at 4,000, without exaggeration. The Players were first represented at the wickets by Hearne and Mortlock, to the bowling of Messrs Rowley and R. D. Walker. Their defence was masterly, and hitting brilliant, and highly delightful to the spectators present. At 45 runs Mr Rowley changed ends, and Mr Miller took his end. At 62 runs Mr V. E. went 011 for Mr Rowley, and succeeded in getting one by Hearne, who made 36, by three fours, two threes, three twos, and singles. Iddison followed, and Yorkshire and Surrey kept the Gentlemen well employed, until that clever field, Mr V. E. nabbed the " seventy customer," by a catch, left hand, at long stop, off Grace's fast; his figures were a six ( drive from Mil- ler), four fours ( two drives and two legs), four threes, eight twos, and singles. We need scarcely add that he was loudly applauded as he left the field ; his, the second wicket, fell for 133 runs. Grif- fith came and went— total 138— beautifully caught at short leg. Caffyn joined Iddison, but was soon well caught by the long stop; four for 163. Mr Rowley, who had taken the ball at Mr V. E.' s end, settled the renowned H. H., and thus the fifth wicket fell for 173. Iddison was then secured at short leg, playing a masterly innings of 49, composed of two fours ( drives), a three, seven twos, & c; six for 179, but the seventh ( Willslier's) caused a total of 312, which was accomplished by himself and Tom Lockyer. Several changes in the bowling took place, and Mr Mitchell eventually was the successful one who parted them. Willsher's figures were a six ( four for drive, two # verthow), a five ( leg from Rowley), two fours ( drive and a leg- hit), three threes, five twos, & c. No one afterwards made any particular stand with Lockyer, who brought his bat out for a score of 76, composed of two fours, five threes, seven twos, & c. The innings terminated at twenty minutes to five 011 the Friday for 353. We may mention that, owing to the straightforward conduct of Willstier in recent cricket squabbles, he was called to the pavilion, and was there congratulated upon his well- judged course, and presented with the talent money, although the custom has this year been abandoned, for reasons before stated. To proceed with the present contest: the Gentle- men got a good hold, notwithstanding that the bowling was quite first rate. Mr E. M. Grace and R. D. Walker scored 65 before they were parted, when the former was well caught by the bowler, his figures were two fours, a three, five twos, & c. Mr Walker and Daniel ran the score to 92, when tiie former was caught at mid- wicket, playing, within three, another 40 innings; it was com- posed of a five ( drive from Willsher), two fours ( cuts), a three ( cut), five twos, and singles. The third wicket ( Daniel's) went for 144. He ran himself out, but contributed 51, in a masterly innings, composed of eight fours! ( six drives and two square leg- hits), seven twos ( no threes). The bowlers were frequently changed. Mr Rowley got well settled, making three fours, a three, two twos, and singles. Mr Dowson was bowled the first ball. The fourth fell for 148, the fifth for 160, as did also the sixth, which got Mr Mitchell out on the Friday night; also Messrs V. E. Walker and Miller, which finished the day's play. Mr Lyttelton joined Mr Burbidge on the Saturday, consequently there was still a hope entertained of a good score being added. Mr Burbidge had got 6. The total was 174. They increased the score to 202, when Mr Burbidge had to retire, scoring 16 by a four ( leg- hit from Caffyn), a three, three twos, & e. Mr Lyttelton did not stop to allow Mr John Walker an opportunity of " scoring more than two, he himself being bowled for 23, masterly ob- tained, and composed of a five ( cut from Griffith), two fours ( cut and a drive), a three, two twos, and singles. The innings was finished at a quarter- past one. The 50 runs put on were quickly rubbed off' by Griffith and Iddison, both of whom " welted" in right good form, which the figures will show— Griffith four fours, two threes, two twos, out of 29. Iddison three fours and a two, out of 18. The match was concluded at a quarter- past two, the 50 runs being got exactly in one hour. The betting at starting was 2 to 1 and 3 to 1 on the Players.

A slight mis- understanding respecting Hearne's playing arose when the Wim- bledon came on the ground; but the difficulty was soon arranged between the respective managers; it will be seen, however, that his runs were not as numerous as usual, and his bowling was not re- quired. Wimbledon won the toss, andsent in twosteady bats. Mr A. Walker, who is generally so successful in this match, commenced bowling, with Mr R. D. at the other end; 46 runs were obtained before a wicket fell, when Mr V. E. caught Mr Streaifield off his own bowling; this he followed up with two more catches, and six other wickets had to succumb to his bowling, which has improved in the same ratio as his batting, when brought into comparison with the two last seasons. Oliver made a good innings of 37, not, however, without a few chances being missed, the wicket- keeper ( MrVyse) not being in his usual form. Five of the Soutligate wickets soon fell for 40 runs, Hearne being the only one to make a stand. Mr V. E. and Burnett got together, and by their short and judicious runs altered the game materially; this, we opine, gave confidence to their " old followers," who played right merrily, and the total amounted to 244, Mr Harvey particularly- distinguishing himself.

JULY 3.— It will scarcely be credited that 13 Quids turned up for this match. It is, however, an historical fact; so when your eyes have ceased to wink, drop them on the following without further remark. We cannot recall to our minds ( and we often have two at cricket) a lovelier day than July 3. There wasn't a cloud betwixt Quids and heaven, and the bitter beer was grateful to a doctor's degree. The ground was a trifle hairy. The Ricks scraped together 90; Coleman's 34 obtained bv good hitting, though he was missed about as often as a young maid at a fair. Quids had a majority of 12 on first innings, but the match was destined to be played out. The Ricks being again scattered for 93, five of them raked by Phizt; the Bishop's wicket falling the first ball, he thereby gained his election for Barnacles; the General having announced publicly that, should this much- desired contin- gency occur, he would present a hatfull of ducats to the local charities, Messrs Fellows and Boto were appointed trustees ; but, up to a late hour, we haven't heard whether they got the money. The Quids then having 80 to get, 41 of them were sosn run up by the Pacha, who twice frightened the rooks in R- ckrnansworth Park. His Excellency's double contribution was a happy combi- nation of science and luck. The Quids would have won the match had not Col Missall mizzled to town, and Baillie of the Big Hands lost his head by hitting a sixer ; for, shortly after, he started like a maniac for the smallest run we ever saw to cover slip, and thereby ran his partner out. Mr Fellows, " notwithstanding his great bulk," bowled well. There were at least a score of catches missed, chiefly by the Quids, and the General takes this opportu- nity to warn his young friends that, unless he sees a marked im provement in catching before next season, he shall institute a code of fines, which he shall devote as he thinks proper or otherwise, on an ascending scale of 6d for short leg, to 2s 6d at long. So mind your eyes, mj' young Quids, and be prepared with plenty of small change.— Ever yours, NABOB.

JULY 7 AND 8.— This annual and cheerful match took place at Woolwich on very good wickets. As may be seen from the score, Quids suffered, but it is in a great measure their own fault, as, though their bowling was uncommon short, their fielding was shorter; we won't mention names, though we feel inclined. Messrs Treinlett, Newman, and Inge played very good but lucky innings, and Bomba Ledsliam showed very good defence. It need scarcely be told that the evening was very wet after so fine a day, and the Quids next morning, after a good innings at claret and supper, tottered on to the ground with parched palates and pockets full of antibilious pills. They had an uphill game to play, but they struggled manfully to the end. Effgee never was steadier, and carried his bat out for 73. The bowling of Mr Walkey and the Sergeant was very straight and effective, and the R. A. fielding quite up to the mark. The Quids had a very plea- sant time of it, and, to be treated as well, would gladly be beaten twice a week for the rest of the season. But one bowler and; only two who can catch is long odds to give to any eleven. Score: QUIDNUNCS. lst inn * 2dinn Hon T. De Grey, c Taswell, b Gibbs .. 17 c Gibbs, b Newman 5 R. I).

The result was as might have been expected, for what can wood do against iron in these days. All honour to the Wooden Walls, who, knowing their shot- must be harmless against the well- protected Ironclads, played it out in a most plucky manner, arid were even- tually only beaten by 48 runs. We must not omit to mention that one of their best bats was unavoidably compelled to leave before the Irons could dispose of him. Of the Ironclads two " Black Prince's" made their appearance on the ground in white, and did their duty well. The representatives of the Defence proved themselves as good hands at attack as defence, and the score rose rapidly under their hands. The " Royal Oak's'' broad- sides made fearful havoc among the Wooden Walls, which was the unkindest cut of all, the Olog ( as she is called) being really wood at the bottom. On the Wooden side the Liverpool supplied a good one whs had no Mersey ( mercy) on the Iron bowling. The Emerald's were not at all rjrccn in their choice of a representative, and sent a very precious " jewel. The Edgars sent a contribution of seven to the field, which was more than their fair share, and unless they had come forward so manfully the match could not have been played. The day was all that could be desired, and the match a very pleasant one.

Mr Green, of Bury, one of the judges of the latter, congratulated the society upon the show of horses, as on no occasion did he remember to have seen hordes with such action, and action was what Suffolk horses lacked a few years since. All we can add in comment on this is that, if the Suffolks have improved in their action, it is with small thanks to their breeders, who often make up their animals so fat and unwieldy that they rather waddle than walk. There were two or three notable instances of this amongst the very entries to which Mr Green and his colleagues gave prizes, though the ill effects of such a system would not seem to be so apparent this season in Suffolk as they were in Essex last week, for the judges de- clared that they observed an improvement in the feet of the Suffolk cart horse, a point which had been complained o£ before. In fact, Mr Barrow, who cime over from New- market to initiate the system of veterinary inspection here, was uot hear so prone to disqualification as was Mr Simonds a few days previous at Witham. Mr W. C. Spooner, of South- ampton, who with Captain Haward, of Brainford, and Mr Blake, of Thurston, did duty over the riding and coaching hoi ses, also testified that, " although he had acted as a judge en several previous occasions, he could safely say that he. had never beheld so good an exhibition, take it for all in all, as that of this year." We may add, from our own experience of the Suffolk shows, that this was no mere compliment, but that the meeting was really a very successful one, with almost every breed and variety of horse fairly represented, from the beefy Suffolk stallion down to Mr Allen Ransome's very perfect little Shetlander. The pride of all the chesnuts was still Mr Badham's handsome Emperor, who took a premium of £ 10 as the best of his class, one of £ 5 as a special mark of merit to his breeder, and the Ipswich Cup as the best of all the cart horses. The companion section of the show ran on to no less than twenty classes, opening, of course, with one for thorough bred sires best adapted to hunting purposes. Captain Barlow, however, had not a single entry of any kind in the catalogue, and as a consequence, we sought in vain for a successor to Middlesex or Mentmore. Mr Crisp's hand- some Barnton horse Tom, with his ring- bony looks, was again put out of it, although his owner travels his horse duly provided with a veterinary certificate to say there is no just cause for any such a charge ! Old Dr Sangrado, the commended stallion at Witham, now succeeded to a prize in the face of no further competition ; while Mr Dobito had an absolute walk over with Dutchman, by The Flying Dutchman out of Virago, es the best thorough bred Stallion for coaching purposes. The Dutchman, or as first called Vir, has improved and thickened considerably since we saw him last season; his stud duties during the summer being varied nevertheless by his carrying his owner, at a welter weight, to hounds in the winter. Indeed, he promised to be " the best riding stallion," as the conditions of another of the Town Cups worded it; though the judges declared this to be their prize cob, the chesnut Sweetheart, the property of Mr Webster, of Fransden, a horse of a certain useful stamp, but with a deal more of the coacher than the riding horse about him ; the best cocktail for getting machiners being Mr Crisp's bulky three year old by the Lion, a young one, only already a little too coarse about his head and neck, but a pro- mising horse for his purpose in other respects. The other Cup of this division, for the best riding mare, was ultimately awarded, we believe, to the Yore, who took another premium as extra stock, and is now stinted to Oulston, a capital cross of blood for her. The best foal at Ipswich by a thorough bred horse was a remarkably clever filly, full of quality, by this same Oulston, her dam a Saddler mare, the property of Mr Boby, of Strutton, being also the best hunting mare with a foal at foot. Mr Boby went in again with another good- looking bunting mare, backed by another Oulston foal that has not gone on so well, for the pre- mium for coaching mares ; but the award here turned against him, in favour of Mr Goaderham's Lady Jane, a useful animal enough in her class. Mr Mumford claimed the first hunting foal, and a very smart one, too, in a son of the now Royal Mentmore ; Mr Keer, of Tunstall, having the best coaching foal by Howden; and Mr Cooper, of Blythburgh, finding nothing to face his very neat roadster foal by Billy Barlow. The premium, however, was very deservedly awarded ; the young one being, moreover, wonderfully got up, with his tail squared off to his dock, and trimmed and fashioned to the style of a four year old. But some of the Suffolk farmers have altogether funny notions about the looks and uses of foals. Mr Manfred Biddell, for example, enters his chesnut by a Suffolk cart- horse as a hunting foal, and his brother, Mr Herman Biddell, his bay by Oulston as a coaching foal, the dam of either being by a thorough- bred horse ! Surely, if there was a distinction the draft horse cross should promise to make a machiner, and the other, with the blood of old Melbourne in his veins, a hunter. In the other classes of young things there were as curious discrepancies ; as, for instance, amongst the three year old roadsters, where the premium went to a plain filly of Mr Nathaniel Scott's, Mr Hare's far better Silvertail being highly commended for " hunting purposes;'' whereas Mr Westropp's under bred three year old hunter had but little to recommend him as the better of the two shown. Only one of the same age was entered for the coaching prize, which was withheld on the plea of no merit; as was that for the best hunting two year old, on the score that " the best was not equal to carry weight," though Mr Shepherd sent a very stylish, promising colt by Waterer, in favour of which the award might fairly have been given, the more especially as nothing was said in the conditions of this class about weight carrying. It is not judicious to with- hold encouragement where there is so much " merit," for Mr Shepherd's horse had at least the three essentials of appearance, blood, and action to back him, and we should not despair of yet seeing him figure in the prize list. Mr Welton's best two year old coacher, by Courtney, was another very showy nag ; while Mr Hubbard's prize two year old roadster was small and plain, but with a grand set- oft' in her capital action; Mr Manfred Biddell's commended colt, on the contrary, having plenty of growth, but no motive power to speak of. Major Parker, who came out very strong amongst the Shorthorns, sent the best cob mare of a not very extraordinary entry; and Mr Bramwhite, of Melford, had the best hack, and altogether one of the best horses in Christchurch Park. Very handsome and clever in his appearance, Quicksilver, 1> y Young Fireaway out of a thorough bred mare, only improves upon you when set a- going, as his action is very straight and stylish, and he proceeds to the Worcester Royal with something of a cha- racter, as having, on the only two occasions of his being entered, finished first— in Warwickshire and in Suffolk. Mr Grout took the second premium for aged hackneys with another chesnut, rather useful than ornamental; and Mr Bramwhite was first again amongst the ponies, with a low and level half sister to the Batter- sea mare. But Pretty Las3 is " no- go"' at all when going, and, though the judges complimented three or four of the others, there was not a pony we had out that could boast of any- thing like true pony action. Mr Garett was declared to be second with one that had just this failing, while the commendations included a couple of Mr Crisp's and one of Mr Wood's. As is pretty generally the case, the most attractive entry in this section of the show was that for hunting mares or geld- ings, by a thorough bred horse of course— a condition that most of our societies are fast coming to— and not over seven years old. There were eight entries duly qualified in this way, and the best of them was pronounced to be Mr Maurice Mumford's chesnut five year old, by Revenge out of an Alpheus mare, the dam of the prize hunting foal by Mentmore. Although not a handsome horse, Jim Crow has a deal of liberty about him, backed by sub- stance and quality, and when a little better done by than he has been so far, should turn into money. The loaded point of the chesnut mare's shoulder only stopped her from getting higher than a commendation, as she has many other recommenda- tions in her favour, such as breeding, substance, hocks, and thighs; while at four years old she is bound to go on in such good keeping as that of Mr Allen Ransome, who has new purchased her of Mr Grout. But the wonder of the hunting class was Mr G. M. Sexton's brown gelding by Black Eagle out of a Simoom rnare, an immense horse, up to at least eighteen stone, and warranted to live a pace with hounds. With his terribly plain head, this weight carrier has few striking points about him, beyond his great power and good action for a big- un; but being well bred on either side, and a known good horse in the field, theleviathan had plenty of admirers, conspicuous amongst whom was Mr Bankes, the London dealer, who would, we fancy, have rather put him first than second. This horse, in- deed, was a fine illustration of Mr Spooner's advice, as offered at the dinner on the afternoon of the same day, that " breeders, while they take care to get a little more good blood, should at the same time get a good deal more weight. Gentlemen could not have horses too well bred, but if they wished to carry out the commercial principle they must also produce weight carrying animals." This is healthy and encou- raging enough, the more especially the word or two for blood from Mr Spooner, who did once cherish a notion that the only way to breed a weight- carrying hunter was from a cocktail sire. The brown horse at Ipswich with plenty of blood on either side, and bound to be got by a thorough bred stallion, is an argument all the other way, er, as his judge now puts it, that " you cannot have them too well bred." TROTTING. THOTTIKG MATCH OF 20 MILES, FOR £ 50 A SIDE.— The match between Mr Harrison's little chesnut mare Daisy and Mr E. Reid's dark chesnut horse Potato Bob, which has caused some excite- ment in the hardware town, was set down to come off on Wednes- day, July 8. Mr Reid having won the toss for choice of place, named Kegworth, 11 miles from Derby, on the Loughborough- road, from thence to the first milestone out of Derby, returning to Kegworth. Greatnumbers arrived at Derby fromBirmingham, Sheffield, and other localities by train, and a good bit of money was laid out at 6 to 4 on Daisy. Mr Wheeler of the Cross Keys, Balsall- street, Birmingham, was the referee. Daisy was driven in a skeleton trap, not exceeding 961b, by Mr Pearce of London ; Potato Bob in a similar trap, not over 1001b in weight, by Peter Paget of Liverpool. The time fixed for the start was three o'clock, but it was 32min past four o'clock when they got off, Bob taking the lead, but at a quarter of a mile Daisy got in front, and gradu- ally increased the distance, and on crossing Bhardlow Bridge, 3j miles or so, she was leading by nearly 100 yards, and at the village of Shardlow had increased the distance by another 100 yards. At this place the referee called our correspondent's attention to Mr Reid, who was driving before the mare ( Daisy) and impeding her way. He was told to get out of the road, but paid no attention to the referee, and proceeded on some distance further in the same manner; and on our correspondent making this statement to him, he did not deny it, but said that he did not hear the referee call to him. The mare Daisy continued steadily at her work, and at the turn of the tenth mile was still leading, but at the 12th mile they were close together. At the 13th mile Daisy began again to gain ground, when she was stopped in her progress by Bob being driven close upon her and her path crossed ( according to the statement of Mr C. Greig, the umpire for Daisy, who states that it was only by Bob's repeatedly galloping that he was able to keep up). Mr Harrison, the owner of Daisy, considering that he had not fair play, at the 13| mile ordered Mr Pearce to pull up. Bob now dashed along until he came up to Castle Donnington turnpike- gate, 3 § miles from the starting place, which was closed by some parties there, said to be backers of Daisy. A scene of confusion here ensued that beggars all description ; the referee was surrounded, and after much confusion and wrangling he awarded the stakes to Potato Bob, on the ground that he had been stopped ; but this, he subsequently said, was upon the supposition that Daisy's friends had closed the gate. During this discussion Daisy was brought along to the spot, and after some time she and Potato Bob, at a slow pace, reached the starting place, Daisy first. There was a great deal more angry discussion here, but ultimately the referee ordered a meeting at his house on Thursday evening, July 9, where, as is now the usual process, he attempted to shift the responsibility of deciding the affair on to our shoulders. This is a process to which we decidedly object. The matter rests en- tirely with him. According to, our report there seems to have been unfair play on both side3, and we should recommend the referee, if he cannot decide the match fairly on its merits, to order the horses to trot again. Blackbird is open to trot Mr Dow's Kilbirnie Maid two or three miles on turf or road, for £ 25 a side. A match can be made at Mr Waddle's, 134, Union- street, Glasgow, on Tuesday, July 14, be- tween eight and nine o'clock p. m. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. The July sessions of this court will commence on Monday. There are considerably over 100 cases on the list for trial, includ- ing three for murder, namely, James Webb for killing his wife, Mary Ann Payne for killing her child, and Thos. Lidbetter for the murder of his wife and child. The presiding judges are the Lord Chief Baron, Mr Justice Whiteman, and Mr Justice Crompton. DEATH OF MR WILLIAM P. BOLLAND.— This gentleman died at Clifton, Somerset, on the 10th of June last, at the early age of 48 years, beloved and regretted by all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He was the second son of the late Baron Bolland, and it was at Eton that he first acquired a love for the game of cricket. From Eton he went ta Cambridge, and after taking his degree became a member of the Inner Temple, and began to prac- tise at the bar, though the amusements of life debarred him from any great success. He was much at Lord's, and it was here that he constituted and founded the I Zingari Club. As a player he was never first- rate, but he wrote a little work that was well re- ceived, entitled Hints on Cricket. CRYSTAL PALACE,— Return of admissions for six days ending Saturday, July U ( including season ticket holders), 38,204. CRICKET. ( CONTINUED FROM THE RNECEI> L* RI PAG: ITQN v HARROW. Never was such a scene witnessed at Lord's as on Friday, when this match was Commenced. Carriages, five or six deep, all round the ground; and, besides that, a ring of some 8,000 spectators. It is no use trying to describe it; it is impossible, and the absent can only be pitied. The ground was in most excellent condition, and much credit is on that account due to Mr Dark, who has evidently been most active of late in endeavouring t. « put everything straight on that score. We must defer particulars of this match till next week; suffice it now to say that E" on won the toss, and sent in Pepys and Tritton to the bowling of Burnett and Richardson. The captain, Mr I. D. Walker, took the wicket, as is expedient with managers, if possible. The match was resumed on Satur- day. The company, if possible, exceeded that of Friday. Some excellent play was shown, but the match, unfortunately, ended in a draw, the Eton eleven being disposed of for 285 runs, and the time being 20 minutes past seven, the stumps were drawn. The play of Messrs Lubbock and Tritton was masterly, which we shall have further to notice. Score: ETON, 1st inn 2d inn E. W. Tritton, run out 91 c Grimston. b Richardson.." 8 A.

The weather was most brilliant, and the wickets good, as they always are on this ground. It will be noticed that there were two changes in the players composing each eleven, viz, for Yorkshire: Mr Ashley Walker and Hall of Bradford, the former in the place of Mr B. Waud, who could not possibly be spared from other important business, and the latter in the place of Atkinson, who faithfully promised to play, but did not put in an appearance. This conduct on his part is not, we should imagine, such as will raise him in the estimation of his friends, and it was, we take the liberty of saying, condemned by every one who was made acquainted with the circumstances of the case. For Nottinghamshire the changes were Brampton and Bignall far Mr Howsin and Smith. The toss was won by Anderson for Yorkshire, and they,- as a matter of course, accepted first innings. The score altogether amounted to 243, Anderson heading it with 82, without anything that could be fairly called a chance, and was bowled off his legs by Grundy. Edward Stephenson contributed a good 32; Rowbotham, Iddison, Thewlis, Hodgson ( not out), and Mr Walker, all adding their double figures by very good cricket. The bowlers were, in the first instance, Wootton and Jackson, and these were several times changed for Grundy and Tinley. The innings closed a little after five o'clock, and Nottinghamshire then took the bat, and kept their wickets up to the close of the day's play, Brampton and C. Daft playing most carefully the good and straight bowling of Hodgson and Slinn, Play was resumed on Friday, and when the stumps were drawn the score stood as follows:— YORKSHIRE. J. Rowbotham, runout 24 j J. Berry, b Wootton 8 J. Thewlis, st Biddulph. b Tinley. 18 J. Hall, c Parr, b Wootton 3 E. Dawson, st Biddulph, b Tinley. 1 I. Hodgson, not out 21 E. Stephenson, c C.

SAILING MATCH, J ULY 10.— This was the second and last match of the season for this club, and was most successful in every re- spect except the sport. The vessels entered were:— YACHT. TONS.

Fuller The prizes were a handsome s: the Commodore, and a very pretty silver cup, value £ 5, presented by the Vice- Commodore. Course, from Woolwich to Gravesend and back to Erith. Time for tonnage, half a minute per ton. The day was beautiful, the finest which this summer has afforded— cloudless sky and pleasant breeze throughout. The vessels were anchored in a line just off Woolwich, No. 1 to the south. The first gun was fired at 12: 13, the second at 12: 18, the wind being then nearly E., and light. Aerolite made a capital start, and went away with the lead, and set her gaff topsail long before any other attempted such a manoeuvre. In Galleon's Reach Novice was astern, the other three were together, and verysoon Vision took the lead in a style which showed that she meant to keep it. The wind now fell very light, and at times the vessels were almost becalmed with the want of wind, and by the sails of the nume- rous brigs and coasters. The wind, of course, headed them in each reach, and was very variable. Erith was reached at 1: 30, Vision then being a long way ahead, Nikomi second; but here Aerolite caught a breeze, and flew past Nikomi like a shot. The wind rather freshened, but was always light, and the steamer anchored above Northfleet, tide still ebbing a little. The yachts rounded her— n. M. s. I H. M. s. I H. M. s.

The Vision had a much better fit out on this occasion, with the exception of her gaff topsail, but we doubt if she will ever be able to contend successfully with the fast vessels of this river. We heard that one of her hands fell from the mast- head during the match, but was picked up unhurt. The Naiad steamer accompanied the match, and was very well filled, with a large proportion of ladies, and the resources of the cabin were far over- taxed. Luckily the match was soon over, and the steamer remained at Erith until 7: 30, so that there was some chance of procuring something on shore. The resources of the Pier Hotel and Crown Hotel appear not equal to furnishing a dinner without notice. The band of Mr J. Calcott, bandmaster of the 1st Surrey Militia and 1st Surrey Volunteers, was on board, and gave some very good selections of music during the day. There was much delay before the start, as the steamer was announced to leave Hungerford at 10: 15, and the match was not started until 12: 18. KING'S LYNN REGATTA.— His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has consented to act as patron of the King's Lynn Regatta, the following letter having been received by the secretary:— " Marlborough House.— Lieut- General Knollys presents his com- pliments to Mr Cadman, and is desired to inform him that His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will be happy to give his patronage to the King's Lynn Regatta." CITY INTELLIGENCE. The payment of the dividends at the Bank of England com- menced on Wednesday, but the effect hitherto upon the general discount market has been exceedingly limited. Bills, it is true, have been negotiated as low as 3| per cent, but discounters are manifestly reluctant to grant further concessions, an idea pre- vailing that the market, after all, may not experience the relief which had been generally considered imminent. With favourable harvest prospects, a continued accumulation of gold, and other prospective advantages, there is, nevertheless, some probability of an early relaxation, though not, perhaps, to a very important ex- tent. Business has progressed steadily within the past week, and trade, if apparently quiescent, is very prosperous. At the Stock Exchange there has been a marked falling off of business, conse- quent upon the holiday season, which is rapidly diminishing the number of speculators in town. Consols closed yesterday ( Friday) afternoon at 92f for money, and at 92£ £ for the August account. The transactions in the Foreign Stock Market during the week were moderately active, and in one or two instances the variations in prices were important. Greek Bonds at once receded about 1 per cent, but subsequently slightly recovered; the Egyptian Loan advanced about2 percent, the Russian Loan of 1862 j, Spanish Passive Bonds receded f, and the Italian Loan § ; Turkish Bonds were generally a shade firmer. Business in the Railway Share Market continued moderately active, and an upward move- ment has prevailed in prices. Caledonian have advanced about £ 1, Great Western £ 1 10s, Lancashire and Yorkshire £ 1 5s, Brighton £ 1 5s, and North Eastern ( Berwick) 10s; North Western, however, have receded 10s, South Western and Great Northern I5s. The Foreign and Colonial lines were in good request, with- out material change to record in values. Joint 8tock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares in several instances have shown a slight ad- vance in values. SATURDAY EVENING. The funds to- day have remained without material alteration- Consols closed at 92 § to 92f for money, and at 92 § to 92f for the account. In the Foreign Market the chief feature was the fluctuation in Mexican Stock, which closed at 37| to 37-|, or about 1 per cent higher. The Confederate Loan left ® ff at par to i prem, being f lower, and Turkish Bonds were at steady rates. Railway Shares in some instances were a shade firmer. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were without ma- terial variation. THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION PRIZE MEETING. The fourth annual prize shooting meeting of the National Rifle Association commenced during the past week. We have of course only space for the bare results of the principal matches. The weather has been as yet everything that could be desired, and there is every prospect of its continuing most lovely; but on one or two days the sun has been intensely glaring, and the shooting rendered thereby much more difficult. The attendances have been good every day in comparison with previous years, when the funds of the Association were most materially inter- fered with by the miserable and almost continuous downfall of rain during the previous meetings. A great number of ladies and gentlemen have visited the Common, especially on the Public Schools day, when there was an intense excitement; but the dis- tance to the place, the cost of getting there, and the time required to see anything, will always militate against the attendance of any large number, even of the middle classes, except, perhaps, on review days, or such occasions as Monday next, when the Prince and Princess of Wales will, it is expected, be present to witness the match between " The Lords and Commons," and also the contest for " The Alexandra" prize. Rifle shooting, in itself, for the on- lookers is by no means an exhilarating pastime; and the interest is materially lessened, as in the present contest for the first stage of the Queen's Prize, by the meagre amount of information given by the statistical department of the council, which it is well just to instance. On the evening of Wednesday a record was issued of those who made 16 and upwards at 200 yards : on Thursday a similar list at 500 yards, in which two names only appear in the 200 yards list, thus leaving out of the question even the most remote anticipation as to who may prove the winner, or even be amongst the sixty who will compete for the grand stake, the two referred to of course excepted. One very noticeable feature in the arrangements this year has been the alteration in the system of marking. Hitherto, the variously coloured flags have been used at the butts to indicate the shots made, but no definite idea was conveyed to the shooter of the exact position of his bullet, and any error in taking aim, high, low, or wide, could not be properly corrected. By the new plan of disc marking that difficulty is entirely obviated, the exact spot hit on the target being shown with perfect fairness and satisfaction to all parties. A want of proper caution, however, on the part of the marker, who is amply protected in the mantlet, or over haste on the part of the shooter, by firing before the danger disc is lowered, is calculated to lead, as it has, to accidents, and no less than three occurred on Tuesday and two on Wednesday, one of those on Tuesday, it is to be regretted, being almost certain to result in the loss of an eye. The markers have hitherto been " regulars,'' but on Thursday they were peremptorily withdrawn, it must be presumed by order of H. R. H. the Commander- in- Chief, and consequently, upon that, Lord Elclio, as chairman of the council, appealed to the volunteers in camp and on the ground, who at once, headed by the Victorias, volunteered for the duty. Eari Ducie, Lord Elcho, Lord Bury, and others also took part, and evidenced by their attention that no real danger existed if the re- gulations laid down were observed. Too much praise can hardly be given for Lord Elclio's spirited observations at the meeting re- ferred to, but the noble lord said no more than every other volun- teer on the ground would say :—" I told the Guards this morning that I would never ask a man to do what I was not prepared to do myself, so I went and marked for an hour, working the discs, one to show danger, and the other three to indicate the position of the hits ; and I can only say that the result justified the opinion which I expressed in the morning, and which I believe to be also the opinion of every one else who has ever seen and used them, that with proper care and caution the system is as safe as it is good." It may be observed that there has always been an im- pression that the paid markers of the different volunteer regiments would do the duty quite as well, if not better, than the soldiers that have hitherto been employed ; and as in all probability the council of the association will have to resort to their services an- other year, and even probably in this, the truth of that impression will be tested. Of the other arrangements, they are more satisfac- tory than last year in many respects ; but although the council have " gone all to Manchester" for the provisional department, it is not done by any means as well as it ought to be.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. The " Ashburton Challenge Shield,'' presented by Lord'Ash- burton in 1861, open to all public schools having unenrolled volun- teer corps, II competitors from each school, five shots at each range of 200 yards off the shoulder and 500 yards Hythe position, with the rifles used in the school. This competition, as usual, created immense interest, and took place on Wednesday. The shield was won in 1861 by Rugby, in 1862 by Harrow, with 2- 34 marks, and in the present year by Eton with 246 marks. Win- chester and Cheltenham sent up " an eleven" this year, but the last named school were under the disadvantage of only having had their rifles three weeks since, and their scoring was most creditable. Harrow had the advantage at the close of the 200 ards' range shooting, but were ultimately only " a good third."

EARL SPENCER'S CUP. A cup, value £ 20, presented by Earl Spencer, to be competed for by the best shot in each eleven in the competition for the Ash- burton Shield Public Schools' Prize; 7 shots, at 500 yards. As there were two ties they were shot off, M'Kerrell marking 3, against French, 0, for Eton; and Hainmich also marking 3, against Kingsford, 0, for Marlborough. We cannot withhold a word of great praise for the really splendid shooting of the winner of the cup, and it is also interesting to notice, as a strong proof of the steadiness of the shooting, that Deedes, the winner of, and Birch, the second for, this prize, mada respectively the largest number of marks for the Schools' Prize.

[ Per the Scotia.] NEW YORK, JUNE 29 ( EVENING).— General Hooker has been relieved from the command of the army of the Potomac, at his own request. General Meade, a West Point graduate, and late commander of the Fifth Corps of the Potomac army, has been appointed his successor. General Meade is not connected with any political faction. General Hooker has issued an order, saying that he parted from the army impressed with the belief that his usefulness as a commander was impaired. Gen Meade has issued an order stating that he accepted the command, which was totally unexpected and unsolicited, with just diffidence. He relieved an eminent and accomplished soldier, and relied upon the troops to as- sist him in discharging his trust. The sudden change of command afi the present crisis has caused general astonishment. The whele of General Meade's army is upon the north side of the Potomac. General Lee, with the last of Longstreet's and Hill's corps, passed through Hager's Town on Saturday, and Lee's whole army is now in Pennsylvania, which it is believed he intends to make the future battle ground. After repeated repulses and disasters General Banks has formd the enemy in his rear so threatening that he has ordered a final attack upon the works at Port Hudson by a forlorn hope, with the understanding that if it also shoul d fail the siege is to be raised. The assault was to take place on the 21st inst. Great fears are entertained for his safety, and also for that of New Orleans. JUNE 30, Two P. M.— The Confederates were still in sight from ' Harrisburg at nine o'clock this morning, but no fighting had taken place up to that hour. This morning's train from Baltimore for Frederic city was obliged to return; it narrowly escaped capture at Skyesville where a Confederate force was engaged in tearing up the track and burning bridges. A report that General Halleck has been superseded by General M'Clellan is in circulation to- day, but cannot be traced to any trustworthy source. The Chattanoga Rebel of the 24th, editorially, says ( of the siege of Vicksburg):—" On the 22d General Grant attacked us along our whole line, but failed to carry a single breastwork, and wasi repulsed with a loss of 10,000 men, and is now in full retreat.,* The same journal contains a despatch, dated Jackson. June 24, stating that firing was heard at Vicksburg that evening, which would indicate that the Federal gunboats were still near the city. Advices from New Orleans to the 24th give no later news from Port Hudson. JULY 1, 1: 30 P. M.— The papers of this morning are filled with a confused and contradictory mass of telegraphic despatches, which arrive hourly from Pennsylvania and Maryland. The indication seems to be that General Lee is concentrating his army for a final onslaught upon General Meade as soon as he shall have drawn the Federal army into the position he deems most advisable. A despatch from Lancaster, received at a late hour last night, states that Gen Couch is on the south side of the Susquehannai, opposite Harrisburg, that the Confederates have retired to Carlisle » and evacuated Hanover. The special correspondence of the Tribune states that a great battle is imminent near the last- named city. Gen Meade's head, quarters, which were at Frederick, Maryland, on Saturday, are now supposed to be near Petersburg. The Confederates are in force near Shippensburg. It is stated that the principal cause of the removal of General Hooker from the command of the army was a radical difference of opinion between himself and Gen Halleck as to the value of Maryland heights as a military position during the present active operations. General Dix has assumed the command of the Federal army on the peninsula, and has made a series of demonstrations toward Richmond. He took possession of White House during last week. A cavalry raid, undertaken by Colonel Spear on the 23d, made numerous captures of men, horses, and property. Among the prisoners was General F. Lee, who was at his own house, being treated for a wound received at Beverly Ford. Cavalry reconnai- sances have been pushed to within nine miles of the Confederate capital. Fears are beginning to be entertained for the safety of New York. Some of the journals express great concern on account of the al. most defenceless condition of the city, both on its land and water approaches. THE RIOT AT CREMORNE GARDENS- To- day, at the Middlesex Sessions, the further hearing of wit- nesses in this case was resumed. The court was crowded to excess.— The several defendants, Reginald Herbert, John Birkette Joseph Edward Saville, Robert Shawcross, Charles M'Dougall and Charles Mott were charged in a great number of counts with riot, and creating a breach of the peace at Cremorne Gardens. The whole of the day was occupied in the examination of witnesse for the defence. The evidence given was in effect that all the de « fendants were well- conducted persons, and not given to intoxi- cation, and wholly incapable of acting as the police had stated.— At half- past two o'clock the Assistant- Judge commenced sum. ming up the voluminous evidence. At its conclusion the jury re- tired to consider their verdict, and ultimately found all six pri- soners Guilty.— The Assistant- Judge, with the concurrence o the magistrates on the bench, then sentented the defendants Her- bert, Birkett, Saville, and Shawcross to a penalty of £- 50 each, and to find two sureties in £ 250 each, and themselves in £ 500 each, to keep the peace for the next twelve months. The de- fendant M'Dougall was fined £ 20, and to find two sureties in £ 100; and Mott was fined £ 10, and to enter into his own recog- nisance to keep the peace for a similar period.— The fines were paid in each instance, and the required sureties entered into. STABBING, ANB BREAKING A MAN'S LEG- To- day, at Southwark police- court, James Denham, tailor, wag charged with stabbing James Hoodmason, and breaking his leg, on the 15th of January last. On the day in question the prisoner had been creating a great disturbance at a public- house, and had made an attack upon a man and stabbed him severely. The com- plainant, Hoodmason, came to his assistance, and the prisonex" then made a desperate attack upon him, knocked him down, and broke his leg. The prisoner was tried for the first offence, and committed to prison for six months. The complainant had been laid up in a hospital for a long time, and now that the prisoner's first sentence had expired, the present charge was brought. The prisoner begged, as he had suffered six months' imprisonment* and had a wife and family starving for want of his assistance, that he might be forgiven any further punishment. He should be most; willing to do all in his power to offer s ® me compensation to the complainant for the expenses and pain he had suffered. The com- plainant did not wish to press the charge if compensation were made to him. The case was ordered to stand over for arrangement. THE NEW THEATRE COMPANY- To- day, at Lambeth police court, Mr, Metcalf, the barrister, ap. plied for summonses against two of the directors and the secretary and manager of the " New Theatre Company ( Limited)," for a violation of the 35th section of the statute for the management o companies, instituted under the act, on the ground that there had not been proper books of shareholders kept with the amount paid upon their shares, and for having refused inspection of their books. Mr Norton said he had seen something in the papers about the bankruptcy of Mr Boucicault in connection with the company and asked if any notice had been given of the intention of wind, jng up the company.— Mr Metcalfe replied that the name of Mr Boucicault did not appear as a director or any other officer of the company and therefore they could have nothing to do with him and no intention of winding up the company had reached ME Tucker, the gentleman for whom he appeared.— Summonses were then directed against J. W. Cusack, E. Edwards ( directors), and Henry Montague ( secretary and manager of the company). CHARGE OF THREATENING MR YARDLEY. At Bow- street police court, George Smith, ex- court keeper of the Marylebone police court, was charged with threatening the life of Mr Yardley, the magistrate. The prisoner had lately fallen into intemperate habits, and in consequence of his utter ina- bility to discharge the duties of liis office it had been found neces- sary to report him to the Home Secretary, and on Wednesday last he was dismissed. This had caused him to be very violent, and he had uttered threats against the life of Mr Yardley, and none of the officers felt themselves safe.— The defendant declared tha what he said was not in earnest, and he had not the remotest in- tention of carrying out such threats.— He was called upon to find recognisances, himself in £ 50 and two sureties in £ 20 each, and in default three months' imprisonment. OMNIBUSROBBEKY7 To- day, at Worship- street police- court, a well- dressed woman, aged 40 years, who gave the name of Elizabeth Craddock, was charged with stealing a purse, in an omnibus, from a lady sitting next her. The purse was missed immediately after the prisoner had left the omnibus, and she was pursued and stopped upon sus- picion. She at first denied the charge, but afterwards coolly ac- knowledged stealing the purse, wh; ch contained £ 1 12s 4d, and restored the property. She was known to have been a general thief for years, and had several times been convicted.— Mr Leigh intimated his intention of sending Miss Craddock for trial, but remanded her to complete the depositions. ALLEGED ROBBERY- To- day, at the Marlborough- street police- court, Edith Hollo- way, the young woman who was last week charged with robbing Mr Alfred Lion, proprietor of the Cafe de Londres, her employer, was brought up on remand, when the charge against her was withdrawn, the prosecutor stating his belief that another parson and not the prisoner had been guilty of the alleged robbery. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS- FRIDAY. POLAND.— Earl RUSSELL gave notice that, as he had learned by telegraph, that the Russian answer to his despatch would not be sent till the 14th or 15th, he would on Monday make his statement with regard to Poland. In the meantime he would lay the despatch on the table. JAPAN.— The Earl of CARNARVON called attention to the cir- cumstances which had taken place in Japan, and asked whether there was any objection to produce the despatches sent by Earl Russell, with the directions as to the course Ci be pursued by our forces out there in enforcing the de- mands for compensation for the murder of Mr Richardson and other outrages.— Earl RUSSELL said it would not be convenient to produce the despatches sent out until he received an answer to them, and that he expected in a few days. He defended the policy of the Government with regard to Japan, which was the same they had pursued towards China, by which they had opened up a trade with a nation possessing 400,000,000 of inhabitants.— Earl GREX condemned the conduct of Englishmen for committing the most atrocious outrages upon the natives.— The Duke of SOMERSET and Lord W ODE HO USE briefly defended the Government, after which the motion was withdrawn, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS- FRIDAY- THE RECOGNITION OF THE SOUTHERN STATES.— Sir JAMES FERGUSON appealed to Mr Roebuck not to bring on the adjourned debate on his motion for the recognition of the Southern States on Monday next, as it could at the present time be of no possible service, and would be very inconvenient to the house and the Government. Any decision come to on that ques- tion might convey a very false notion of English feelings to bath the Northern and Southern States.— Lord PALMERSTON also ap- pealed to the hon and learned member to postpone his motion, as the house could not come to a proper decision under existing cir- cumstances.— A long discussion ensued upon the propriety of bringing on the adjourned debate on Monday, when Mr ROEBUCK said he would on that day tell them what course he intended to pursue.— The subject then dropped. The orders of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned.
