" The f ired 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 has carried him through a glorious day, in which perils and dangers are merged in alove of sport. The drawing of these sketches Is most spirited, and the evident know- ledge of his subject which has guided the pencil « f Mr H. K. Browne makes them very valuable additions to this ela^ s of publication. Need we say teat Mr Fores has done all in the way of bringing them out & at 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.

OAKLEYS UNRIVALLED ADVICE.— J' GOODWOOD STAKES, GOODWOOD CUP, And ST LEGER. CHARLES OAKLEY'S information on the above important races Is of a very first- rate character, and ought to be acted upon by all without a moment's delay. With respect to GLORIOUS GOODWOOD, O, 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 on his choice at once. Remember C. Oakley won both these races last year, and never lost the Goodwood 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. Quince 1855 won Pretty Boy 1856 won DRAGON'S TEETH.

The temperature has been lower this week, and the copions showers we have had will be of immense benefit to all cereals and vegetation ge- nerally. The accounts from all corn growing districts continue highly favourable, and cutting is reported to have commenced in some places. The supply of Engi'sh Wheat has again been very short at all the coun- try markets this week. With au almost general improvement in the demand, prices have shown more firmness than for several week's past, and for extra fine samples a little more money ha< in some instances been realised. The value of Barley has been steadily supported. Oata and Beans have had a tendency to firmness, especially the latter. I11 other articles ve'y little change has taken place. The total arrivals cf English Wheat, & c, this week have been less than for a long time past; but the imports of foreign Wheat and American Flour have been more liberal. The tone of the market for Wheat this morning was quiet, but prices as fully as high as on Monday. There was not much inquiry for Flour, but we do not alter prices. Barley steady at previous quota- tions. The business in Oats was moderate at Monday's rates. Beans and Peas were dull, but their value was unchanged.

After undergoing a part of his sentence Mr Bewioke was liberated, he was " pardoned" for an offence of which he had not been guilty, and the false witnesses were con- victed. But in the meantitaie most of the consequences of a con- viction for crime had ensued. Mr Bewicke's home waa broken up— his property was scattered— his health was injuriously affected. On the conviction of his accusers he received the Queen's pardon, but he is almost a ruined man, and he seeks restitution of his losses where that is possible, and compensation so far as any can be given him. Is he to have it ? There is no doubt a great deal of inconvenience in say- ing that, if false witnesses successfully defraud an honest and intelligent jury into a wrong verdict, the State is, upon the discovery ol the wrong, to compensate the sufferer. But there seems also to be great hardship in saying that he is to be left, to suffer, unrelieved, all the consequences of a great wrong. The question has been put upon these two grounds alone, and great- is the difficulty to make a satisfactory choice between them. But certainly the analogies of civilised society do appear to furnish a principle in favour of Mr Bewicke's application. Society, by- its institutions arid its authority, affects to insure its individual members against wrong, and they are taught to rely on its protec- tion. If that protection fails to be efficacious, surely it is more consonant with the principles of good government that society should furnish a compensation to the victim than that he should be left entirely without one. It has failed to do what it undertakes to do," and the failure ought if possible to be made good. This is the more reasonable, when some of the blame of failure is the result of the rules which society has laid down. In this case there is too much reason to suppose that that waa the fact. Our law peremp- torily refuses the right to move for a new trial in a criminal case. If the convict cannot get up a party strong enough to worry the Secretary for the Home Department to listen to exparte statements ( which are often utter misrepresentations), and to act on them, he must submit to his fate. He cannot be subjected to a civil verdict for £ 20 wit hout being entitled to have his case reconsidered by four judge, and perhaps reheard before another jury: but he has no such right when, not a verdict for a sum of money, but, a verdict which consigns him to personal punishment and brands him as a criminal has been passed upon Slim. Had Mr Bewicke possessed the power of moving for a new trial, his faithful servant might have be^ n enabled toobtaiu and present tothecourtsufficient- reasons to make it doubt the correctness of the verdict, and by directing a rehearing to prevent the infliction of an unwarranted and serious wrong. As its rules and laws prevented this, it is surely right that it should do something to compensate a man who ha3 in some degree been a sufferer from its own authoritative regulations. LITERATURE. FIFTY YEABS' BIOGRAPHICAL EEMINISCENCES. By LIORD WM, PITT LENNOX. [ London: Hurst and Blacket.]— Here is another contribution to the future history of the times of the Regency, and the days when George the Third was King, and that after period when the first gentleman in Europe reigned in his own persan. The historian of the manners and ways of society in those days will be able to glean something from these volumes of what our progenitors did and said, how they fought and bled in the duello, how they drove stage coaches, and how the wife of a colonel rode a race on the York course for a thousand guineas. The author appears to have initiated himself very early in life into the theatrical world, as he informs 11s that when he was about nine years old he took the character of Clown in some private amateur theatricals performed at the Vice- Regal Court, and that 110 less a person than the Iron Duke was amongst the assembled audience. His lordship doubled the parts of Clown and Harlequin, and suc- ceeded so well as to elicit the remark from the Hero of Waterloo that he should be sent with his brother to Covent- garden or Sadler's Wells. The Duke, however, gave Lord Lennox an ap- pointment some six years after this performance as attache to his embassy to Paris, and some of the anecdotes connected with his sejour at the French Court are amusing enough. Bon mots of celebrated wits of a bygone pei i@ d, and jeux d'esprit from fashion- able swells are the light reading of the volumes, which may be recommended as pretty trifles for summer's day reading in quiet country places. More, we think, might have been made on the j subject uf Waterloo, and the stirring scenes aud incidents con- nected wi'. h that time. The days are at hand by sea shore and meadows gay, when these reminiscences will serve for perusal to oach up aspiring youngsters in a knowledge of the habits and UAtoms of an age almost snuffed out.

THE MOUTH OF THE THAMES.—' The floating batteries ^ rJtna, 16, 200- horse power, and Thunderbolt, 16, 200- horse power, which have been stationed in the Thames for several months past to pro- tect thepassageof theriver during the dismantling of the batteriesat Shorn mead and Coal house Point, have been withdrawn from the position they have hitherto occupied, and are now stationed at the entrance to Chatham Harbour, where they are to be kept fully manned and equipped, with all their armament, shot, shell, & c, on board, to assist, in the protection of the entrances to the Thames and Medway. The reconstruction of the two forts on the Kent and Essex shoresofthe Thames is to be immediately proceeded with. RIFLE MATCHES AT ALDEKSHOTT,— During the week there have been a series of rifle matches at the camp at Aldershott, among the oflicers, non- comm. issioned officers, and privates of the different regiments stationed there. The shooting, however, has not been equal to that witnessed at Wimbledon, a fact in some meature to be attributed to the adverse state of the weather. POLAND. The Bussian answers have now been received, and amply do they confirm the opinion that, unless compelled by force, the Czar means to maintain all things in the course in which he has placed them. To England the answer is patronising and sneer- ing, to Austria threatening, to France insolent j'et cajoling. In all, the Czar affects to admit the right of the parties to the treaty of 1815 to give their opinions and advice on the stipulations of that treaty, but he denies their right to interpret it in any sense but his own, and utterly rejects their claim, on any pretence, to expect from him obedience to its stipulations. To all three Governments he suggests that foreign intermed- dling is the cause of the insurrection in Poland, and speaks as if his Government had not only not given any cause for that insurrection, but had never acted in any way except for the benefit and happiness of the Polish people. It is foreign intermeddling that lias done it all! So the three Governments are snubbed, and thetwonations, England and France, arecharged with being the mischief makers.^ But for them Poland would have been contented and happy. It is they who have fostered the feel- ings of ill- will which a few ill- conditioned men have always dis- played, but in which " the masses do not participate," nay, to which the masses are opposed. The Czar cannot consent to an armistice, and will not discuss the six points— nay, he thinks that a conference of all the powers that were parfits to the treaty of Vienna is worse than needless, and he says ( and in this he is right) that the Poles would not accept what the diplomatists want to offer them. It is this grain of the salt of truth which alone neutralises the insolence and falsehood of the documents. Was it for this that Lord Russell and the other diplomatists demeaned themselves to ask from the Czar \ yhat it was plain he weuld not grant, and publicly to notify that if he refused their request ihey would submit to his refusal ? To make this notifica- tion was to invite a rebuff, and the rebuff they have succeeded in getting. That is the limit of their success. If any persons had set themselves to ask John Thurtell to be humane or William Roupeli to be honest and honourable, and accompanied their re- quest with an intimation that these notorious personages would be allowed without constraint to do as they pleased, the success of the demand would have been of the like nature as that which has now attended Lord Russell's to suggest humanity and honesty to the Czar. As there will be no Roebuck and Lindsay to go and suggest to the French Einperov to force a particular style of conduct upon the English ministers, we may not have any unofficial statement put forth 10 the world as to what are the real sentiments of that potentate. And it is well that it is so. There is much doubt whether he has given himself the trouble to form any positive opinion on the affairs cf Poland, and the tone of the Russian answer to the French note implies an understanding between the two Governments little in accord with the feeling which some of the Paris papers assume to exist in the mind of the Emperor. Poland must win its own salvation, or must sink in utter hopeless degradation and slavery. That is, apparently, the resolution of the men now governing England and France. ' It may be a right and a wise principle if fairly and constantly carried into effect. But It is not fairly and constantly carried into effect. France directly, and with an armed force, interferes in Italy and occupies Rome, 1 conquers in Mexico, and intermeddles in Syria. England does ! the same in China, and talks of doing the same in Japan. Yet in r. ooneof these cases has France or England the slightest right, j derived from treaties, highly beneficial to the now offend- I VOLUNTEER INTELLIGENCE. THE NEW ACT ON VOLUNTEEKS.— The act to consolidate and amend the acts relating to the volunteer force in Great Britain, which received the royal assent on Tuesday, has just been issued. It is divided into seven parte, and contains a schedule of forms in reference to the volunteer foice in Great Britain. In the first part ttf the statute— organisation of the force— the Crown is em- powered to accept the services through the lieutenants of counties' and to form a permanent staff. Any volunteer may, except when on actual military service, quit his corps on complying with cer- tain conditions set forth in the act. The Crown may put volun- teers under the command of general or field officers, and an annual inspection is to be held by a general or field officer of Her Majesty's army. The Secretary of State is empowered to make regulations for the government of the force. In the second part — actual military7 service— in case of invasion the Crown is em- powered to call out volunteers for actual military service, and when released they are to return to the county to which they be- long. Tiie third part treats of discipline while not on actual mili- tary service and the trial of offenders. Under the fourth part rules are to be made for the management of the property of corps, subject to the approval of the Cro wn. The property is to rest ia the commanding officer. Subscriptions are recoverable, and the wrongful buying of arms, & c, to subject the party to a penalty of £ 20 Under the fifth part of the statute, land, with the consent of the Secretary of State, may be acquired for ranges, and the Com- missioners of the royal parks may grant land for drill, and give the right of shooting. Corporations may grant licenses for the use of land. In the sixth part exemptions are made from serv- ing in the Militia. Horse duty is not payable for any horse em- ployed in the service, nor are volunteers to lose their interest in any friendly or benefit society. There are various miscellaneous provisions under part the seventh. All pecuniary penalties are to be recovered summarily. The act is not to extend to the London Artillery Company nor to Ireland. The enactments new repealed are given in the schedule annexed to the statute, TOLITSTEEB REVIEW AT WIMBLEDON.— According to custom, which is rapidly acquiring the force of unwritten law, the pro- ceedings at Wimbledon closed on Saturday week with a grand review of the metropolitan and other volunteer corps by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. The sharpshooters having held possession of the commen for the previous fortnight, the occupa- tion was completed on Saturday by the arrival of the main body of the volunteers, who for their own improvement and the grati- fication of the spectators engaged in the operations of a field day. The weather, notwithstanding a smart shower which fell about three o'clock in town, was highly favourable, bright and not too warm; it enabled the volunteers to move without incurring fatigue or discomfort, and gave the spectators an opportunity of seeing clearly all that was permitted by the wide space aver which the evolutions extended. The number present was not up to that of previous years, a fact partly t ® be accounted for by the early harvest demanding the attention of many volunteers from coun- try corps near the metropolis, and partly by the Kentish volun- teers reserving themselves for a sham fight at Chatham. The programme, which was as great a secret to the commanding officers of volunteers as to the public, was decidedly shortened, owing to the lateness of the hour. The defending force was driven back upon the Grand Stand much more rapidly than British troops ought to yield ground; and when it arrived sufficiently near for the purposes of a march past a general fraternisation endued. There appeared at first to be some doubt whether the march past would be performed, and when, at eight o'clock, the Commander- in- Chief, with a brilliant Staff, took up his position at the saluting base, he was warmly applauded by the stand- holders and general body of spectators. It is worth consideration whether on future occasions it might not be expedient to take the march past at the beginning, instead of the end of the proceed- ings. Under the system adopted on Saturday week the punctual corps are condemned to inactivity for the sake of those who were behind their time. If it were made known as a rule to be acted on in future that all the regiments actually upon the ground at a particular hour would march past at that hour, and that those behind time would lose this legitimate opportunity for display, although allowed to take part in the field day afterwards, it might afford an extra inducement to exertion. A HABD CASE.— The case of a gentleman named Bewicke was brought before the House of Commons the other night by Mr Berkeley, who attempted to procure compensation to that gentle- man for losses he incurred through a wrongful conviction. Mr Bewicke. of Threepwood Hall, in Northumberland, was defeated in an action at law, and the sheriff proceeded to levy on his pro- perty. How this functionary brought together his assistants does not appear, but they are alleged to have been men of the most villanous character. Felons, perjurers, wife- beaters, drunkards were, according to Mr Berkeley, the executors of the law in that distant county. The sheriffs officers went to Mr Bewicke'e, but he refused, as he had a perfect right to do, to admit them to the house, and told them that there was sufficient for the levy outside. One of t'nem then produced a pair of pistols, and Mr Bewicke, seeing this, went for a revolver. He barricaded himself in the house, while the bailifls remained in possession oulside. The next day he wanted to fire the pistol out of the window that it might bs clean. He told them what he was about to do. They answered " All right, sir," and he firedit, doing no harm, and, of course, thought no more about it. But this act gave the ruffians 111K party, IO coiupiam 01 uiioojci'veu agreements ana violated 1 , » . " . . » •• » » ' f^ u u^ ams: contracts. As to Poland, both France and England have that; hsm< Probflb! y the intention of extorting money. Jlr BE right, ami this is the case which both select as one in which wicke was held to bail, but thought too lightly of the matter to to proclaim that they will do nothing but suggest aud advise I and in which, too, all the world notice that, even in the act of i giving a ' vice, they falsify their own characters and stultify their j own reasonings by j rofeising a reliance 011 that imperial mag- j nsnimity which, it it existed at all, would have prevented the I possible nec-' s- ity for any of their suggestions. ; The Treaty of Vienna has now become a byeword of contempt | among men. The of Russia, Prussia, and Austria j have violated it when it » uited their purposes and interests to do so. France and England joined in slitting a hole in it, not in- deed for their own private ends at the moment, but when the fit came on them to be liberal at the expense of another sovereignty ; and now Russia taunts tuem with the result, and coolly says that each party may make comments on the meaning of the treaty, but that no one is bound ' « o s, ubmit to any interpretation of it but bis own. It is well to understand this precisely; the doctrine, however take proper steps to defend himself. The sheriffs officers swore up to the mark, he was convicted, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. The trustees of Greenwich Hospital, as lords of the manor, seized Mr Bewicke's furniture and goods as those of a convicted felon. Property to the value of £ 1,600 or £ 1,800 was sold for £ 130. A- last, after remaining snore than a year in prison, and beii z deplorably weakened both in body and mind, Mr Bev cke's innocence was made apparent. His housekeeper came : o London, laid the case before Mr Sergeant Shee, who recommended her to an active attorney, and the result was the issuing of warrants against the whole gang, and the conviction of three of them for conspiracy or perjury, one having turned Queen's evidence. We cannot but think that, ac- cording to the dictates of natural law, a man has a right to be compensated by the community for the sufferings and losses he undergoes through such a failure of the justice which the com- munity administers for its own benefit. But if even this were in- .. ui t,' uiiucuMiiu tin., yici. jecij , uk uuttnuc, uowevei- y - . —„ -, convenientat this moment, may not always be found advantageous expedient, he certainly ought to receive the full value of the goods to its promulgator.

Acdthe jury men are fairly enosen, and the judge does at Muswell- hiil, near Hornsey and the Wood Green station of the not, as in some foreign countries, think it his duty tousetliepowerof Great Northern Railway, was opened on Thursday, July 23, with his office to obtain a verdict against an unfortunate prisoner. Ifthere a grand horticultural fete and a great archery contest.. There is is a weakness in our legal system of procedure in criminal trials, it j no question but that the Alexandra Park is one of the most beau- is in favour of the accused. And yet, notwithstanding all these cir- tiful spots about London; and if there were only a building into cumstances, it seems that an innocent man may be convicted. Mr which the visitors might retreat in case of threatening or actual Bewicke was so. Ho certainly behaved very ill— he put himself i rain, there is little doubt that it would obtain as much support into violent opposition to the law— he defied its process and re- i from the centre and north as Sydenham has from the centre sisted its officers— but the particular thing for which he was cri-; and south of London. To define the view, to limit its beauty, to minally charged he did not do. Still of that very charge he was i detail its points, is impossible. It is simply one of the finest sites convicted. Ho had a fair trial, under the guidance of a most in England; and if we could be certain that the site would not be painstaking judge, and, so far as appears, a careful and intelligent spoiled, we should be inclined to give it absolute commendation, jury. He was innocent— yet he was convicted. The evidence ~ ' "' " " against him was perjured— there were not at the moment the means of detecting the perjury, or at least those means were not well employed, and he was pronounced guilty. We are now told that the unceasing labours of an old and attached servant brought the perjury to light, and secured the conviction of But the spoiling of the situation is scarcely possible to man. Wo combination of hideousness could ruin the view. The cheenutg, pines, and cedars which cover a great part of its whole surface, are so exquisitely beautiful that under their shades might disport the members of a large picnic party, and from their roots may be seen the finest natural scenery within 50 miles of London, BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JULY 26, 1863. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE FRANCE. We are wont to complain of the law's delay. Sir Cresswell Cresswell is so busy in cutting asunder those whom God hath joined, that he has scarcely time to attend to all applications, flow must an injured husband in England pine for the prompt administration of justice by the tribunal at Apt. The court was engaged a few days ago in the trial of a burglary case, when the police brought in a gentleman who appeared very angry and ex- cited, another whe appeared much ashamed of himself, and a pretty woman who hid her face in her handkerchief. The court suspended their proceedings to hear the excited gentleman un- burthea his bosom of his wrongs. The sobbing lady was his spouse, the bashful culprit by her side was her paramour ; he had just detected them flagrante delicto, and claimed the immediate application of the law" His claim was admitted; there were the oulprits, who could not deny their guilt; there was no occasion or excuse for delay ; so the lady was sentenced to three months' imprisonment, the Lothario to " the same penalty, with the addi- tion of a line of lOOf. The whole thing was done in live minutes, after which the court resumed its attention to the burglary case. The Emperor has had a military assemblage on account of the arrival of the captured Mexican flags, and has told the soldiers that if they had been at Puebla they, too, would have captured Mexican flags. The affair of the Aunis has been arranged. The Italian Government surrenders the five prisoners in such a man- ner that its dignity is entirely preserved. It is stated on good au- thority that the Italian Government, after having surrendered the five brigands arrested on board the Aunis, will demand their extradition. ROME. After a delay of six weeks the sentence of the tribunal of the Consulta in the Fausti process has been finally pronounced. The prisoners have been condemned without being aware who were their accusers. It is known that two of the accused made con- fessions, upon condition of being set at liberty and receiving a re- ward, but their names have not transpired. All this is perfectly in accordance with the usual practice of Rome in political trials— complete mystery towards the accused, and raking up unfavour- able evidence from the most disreputable quarters. Louis Napo- leon has granted a sum of 24,0001" to the canons of St John de \ Lateran at Rome; 12,000f more are given to eight of the canons, io and a further amount of 12,000f to the entire chapter, upon con- ~ dition of a " Te Deum" being chanted annually upon the 20th of August, the anniversary of the birth of Napoleon. AUSTRIA, Austria has sent an answer to Gortschakoffs despatch on the Polish question. This note announces that Austria cannot aban- don the line of conduct she has pursued up to the present. She rejects the proposal of a conference of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, maintains the six points, and declares that in any further steps she may take she will protect her own interests only. Notes have been simultaneously despatched by the Austrian Government to the Western Powers, declaring that Austria will continue to act in concert with them, and will firmly maintain the six points. In the Second Chamber of the Austrian Eeichsrath, Counts Potocki and Kiusky have given notice of certain questions respecting recent events at Cracow. The former demands, first, whether the Govern- ment will confine itself to ordering the local authorities to make an inquiry as to the events which took place on the 14th of July at Cracow, or will take other measures to ascertain the truth with regard to the conflict; secondly, whether the Government is dis- posed to order the Galician authorities, and especially those of Cracow, not to cause the people to be fired upon without previous warning; and, thirdly, by what right the Galician telegraphic officers refuse to forward telegrams relative to the events in Galicia. Count Kiusky desires to know for what reasons enforced residences have taken place in Galicia, and upon what treaties or international arrangements these measures are founded. The Ost- Dcutsche Post says that the answers to these questions are awaited with great impatience, because the questions themselves are connected with the conduct of the Government towards Austrian Poland RUSSIA. An imperial decree has been published, which, in view of the present state of affairs, orders a fresh levy of troops in November next, at the rate of ten men for every 1,000 of the population. POLAND. A landowner in the district of Vilkomir, named Vou Koziel, had lost four sons in battle. To punish him his estate was first pillaged, then sequestrated, and he himself thrown into prison. The Invalide Busse ( a Russian paper) states the number of Rus- sian soldiers killed in battle with the insurgents in the military districts of Warsaw and Wilna during January and February ( old style) as 73, the prisoners and missing as 29 ; from April to May the Russian losses in the same districts were 277 privates killed and 69 missing, with 15 officers killed and 9 missing. From January 10 to May 1 ( old style) the wounded amounted to 63 officers* and 1,409 men, 4 officers and 91 men of whom died of their hurts. From May 1 till June 10, in the kingdom of Poland, 10 officers have been wounded, 75 men killed, 108 wounded, 7 died of wounds, and 13 missing. The same paper gives the numbers of the troops engaged in the suppression of the revolt as follows : — In the kingdom of Poland, 125,000 men. General Mouravieff has an army of 100,000 men, with whom he is pacifying Lithuania, Bamogitia, and White Russia. General Annenkoft', at Kieff, com- mands 40,000 men, occupying the provinces of the Ukraine, Podolia, and Volhynia. The entire Russian force engaged in reducing the insurrection amounts, therefore, to 265,000 men. The National Government will take no notice of the diplomatic negotiations concerning the six points, and will continue the in- surrection in the kingdom and in Volhynia with all the means at its disposal. The Government is said to feel confident of eventual success. The Russian conscription in the Government of Wilna, Grodno, Kowno, Volhyna, Kiew, and Podolia has been postponed till 1864. Measures will be adopted upon the subject at a future time. The exactions demanded by General Mouravieff from the Polish landowners are being already gathered in. Count Tiesen- hausen has paid 30,000 roubles. The fine is often reckoned so un- fairly that it amounts to 30 or 40 per cent of the victim's income, instead of the 10 per cent originally declared as its limit. The object seems to be to ruin the landowners and to desolate the country. PRUSSIA. The perfect accord between the King of Prussia and the Czar of Russia on the Polish affair is announced in a state paper pub- ished by Count Eulenberg, the Prussian Minister of the Interior. SWEDEN. The Minister of Marine has issued a circular urging captains of merchant vessels to enter the navy, in which service they will rank as lieutenants. In the Swedish State Council the question of placing the army and navy on a war footing was discussed. CIRCASSIA. From Trebizond they write that a great agitation prevails among the tribes in the Caucasus. The Lesghis lately advanced as far as Sakataly ; they drove back two Russian regiments which were sent against them, completely destroyed one battalion, and are even said to have seized on the fortress of the town. The news of that event, and the rumours which are only too readily received respecting the eventuality of an approaching war between Russia and the Western Po wers, have produced a deep emotion among the tribes spread along the Transeaueasian shore. The Abkases are reported to have effected a movement towards the south- east, in the district of Poti. AMERICA The Southeners denied the capture of Vicksburg. Thefollowing account seems too detailed to be without foundation :—" At eight in the morning of the 3d the Confederate General Bowen and Colonel Montgomery, bearers of a communication from General Penaberton, were led blindfolded into the Federal lines. General Pemberton's letter said : ' Although I feel confident of my ability to resist your arms indefinitely, in order to stop the further effu- sion of biood, I propose that you appoint three commissioners to meet three whom 1 shall nominate, to arrange such terms as may best accomplish the result.' General Grant replied : ' The appoint- ment of commissioners is unnecessary. While I should be glad to stop the needless effusion of blood, the only terms I can enter- tain are those of unconditional surrender. At the same time, I and my army are willing to testify to the distinguished gallantry with which the defence has been conducted.' In the afternoon, Generals Grant and Pemberton met between the lines, and after an hour's consultation settled the terms of surrender General Pemberton urged that his soldiers might be paroled at Vicksburg, and furnished with rations to carry them to their lines. In view of the bravery they had dis- played, and the advantages of the plan, General Grant consented. The numberof prisonersand wounded is said to be 18,000, of whom 12,000 are in fighting condition. The immediate cause of the sur- render of the garrison was the exhaustion of supplies and ammu- nition, and the failure of General Johnstone to come to their aid." Another account says that all that has been written about the sufferings of the Confederates in Vicksburg has been but half the truth. There were about 22,000 people in Vicksburg, 10,000 of whom are efficient soldiers. General Grant had determined to assault the place again upon the day following that on which the surrender was made. It is stated that the surrender will give the Federal Government 100,000 troops to be employed in other quarters. The Portsmouth Virginian says:—" Reliable informa- tion has been received here that the return of North Carolina to the Union is an event which may be daily expected. A dis- affection towards the Government of Jeff. Davis, radical and widespread, exists in the State, and overtures have been made to General Foster which will shortly lead to important results. The engagement at Gettysburg, reported by General Meade, was not renewed, General Lee having withdrawn his forces. General Meade reports that the enemy had withdrawn from his position occupied for an attack the previous day ; but it was not known whether it was a manoeuvre, a retreat, or for other purposes. At noon on the 4th inst General Meade reports:—" We now hold Gettysburg. The enemy has abandoned large numbers of killed and wounded on the field.'' The Baltimore correspondent of the New York Herald reaffirms the statement that G eneral Beauregard, with 40,000 men, has reinforced General Lee. The same correspon- dent says the day following the battle at Gettysburg Lee's army passed through Emmettsburg, and by the country roads north of that place, from near Gettysburg, across South Mountain, towards Hagerstown. The movement was made in perfect order, without haste or confusion. Gen Stuart had 15,000 cavalry at Emmetts- burg. The Baltimore American estimates that 9,000 or 10,000 Confe- derate prisoners have been captured from Lee's army, in addition to numerous prisoners gathered up by the Federal cavalry. The American thinks the Confederate loss in killed and slightly wounded cannot fall below 12,000 or 13,000 men. It is doubtful if any Confederate artillery was captured. The same journal esti- mates the Federal losses in killed and wounded at 12,000. General Lee paroled 3,000 prisoners, but this parole, under the terms of the cartel, is said to be of no effect, as General Steele refused to agree to it, and General Lee sent the prisoners to General Couch, who accepted the parole. The Republican party will shortly submit a petition to President Lincoln to the following effect:— They are willing to make peace and restore the Union. Slavery to cease after the year 1876. Minors at that time would remain slaves till they are twenty- one years of age. The loyal states only would receive compensation for their negroes. A convention would be called to revise the Federal Constitution, with a view to strike out the three- fifths provisions recognising slavery as the basis of representative population, and providing for emancipation in accordance with the above programme. The Nevj York Herald asserts that Vice- President Stephen's message was a proposition from President Davis for a separate government for the North and South, but only one President. This would avoid interference with Southern property and negroes, but make one foreign policy for both sections. PIRACY AND MUKBEK.— Sentence has been pronounced on a Charge of piracy and murder on board the British ship Beatrice, 470 tons register, brought before the Supreme Court at Hong Kong. Four English seamen, named Timothy Driscles, George Bailey, Charles Atkins, and William Hardy, were charged with the wilful murder of Mr John Adams, the chief officer of the ship. It appears that very bad discipline was kept on board, and that the crew were in the habit of getting into the hold and drinking spirits and wine, which formed part of the cargo. On the night of the 10th of June, the deceased, having charge of the watch on deck, was sitting on a hen coep on the poop when one of the prisoners came behind him and knocked him down by a heavy blow on the head. Almost immediately afterwards Atkins picked him tip and threw him overboard. The poor fellow screamed " Murder!" several times, and cried out " Help, help 1" but no effort or alarm was made to save him. The prisoners had endeavoured to prevail on most of the crew to join them to take the ship. After disposing of the mate they went to the cabin to secure the captain and the rest of the officers. The second mate, hearing the scuffle on deck, was coming tip the companion ladder to ascertain the cause when he was met by Atkins, armed with a harpoon or boarding- pike, and a thrust was made at him, which luckily missed. He then returned to the cabin, and Ifcie captain and he armed themselves, as also the carpenter, who was with theirs. One of the gang, named Baynes, went to the skylight of the cabin, with the intention, it was supposed, of doing mischief. The captain seeing him from the cabin, and hearing that the mate had been thrown overboard, called upon the second mate to shoot iiini, Howard, the officer, obeyed, and shot the man dead on the spot. This act had the effect of overawing the prisoners, who ali went forward, when they were seized and placed in irons. The iurv found three of the prisoners ( Driscles, Hardy, and Bailey) guilty of piracy, and Atkins guilty of wilful murder. The ver- dict was accompanied with a statement to the effect that to the gross mismanagement and neglect of their duties by the captain and officers was to be attributed in a great measure, if not en tirely, all that had happened on board. The prisoner Atkins was ordered for execution. E0YAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY. WOSCFISTER, THURSDAY. Another of the anniversary gatherings of this society is now coming to a close. They are always profitable and pleasant affairs, and much calculated to enliven the district where they occur, and to promote progress of all kinds. New ideas are gene- rated in such meetings of men, in such friction of minds. The laggards are whipped up; the forward men are stimulated ^ to fresh achievements. One celebrated implement- maker once re- marked in my hearing, " These meetings of the Society wili be the death of me, for no sooner is one meeting over than I nave to set to work to invent something new in order to maintain my position." The shows of stock and implements have the same effect precisely. The interchange of thought between breeders and manufacturers conduces to progress. Men may sleep when they dwell far apart and seldom meet, but when they come into contact much, and, what is more, into competition, all set to work to angle for that ticklish fish, the customer. New plans will be struck out with amazing rapidity, and, so quick wili be the change, that what was good yesterday will not be tolerated to- morrow. This city was a very suitable place in which to hold the society's assemblage. It holds a very central position in the West Midland Counties, and possesses an important agricultural character in its own right. It is true that it is celebrated for no distinct breeds of cattle, horses, or sheep; but united with Worcestershire must be considered Shropshire, Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, and Herefordshire— for the society does not confine itself to a county, but comprehends a district usually comprising several counties. The meeting commenced really on Wednesday, the 15th. The general public considered it to begin on Monday, the 20th. The fact is that the trial of steam cultivators, of portable and fixed steam engines and threshing machines began on Wednesday, and finished, save in two cases, on Monday. Three sets of judges were at work a week before the regular opening of " the show,' 1 registering the competitive run- ning of steam engines and threshing machines, and in deciding between the merits of ploughing and grubbing performed by various machines. All these trials, which have bsen trials of strength to some and trials of patience to others, have passed off very well. The land which has been allotted to the steam tillage implements was well suited to the operations performed on it, and excellently suited to test the strength of all the imple- ments employed. The judges, Messrs Clare, Sewell, and Read, of Plumstead, Norfolk; Capt Caldwell, of Lackham House, Chippenham; and Mr J. Wilson of Newcastle have given the most patient attendance day after day, have begun early and prosecuted their enquiries late, to attain " a conclusion that seems to give pretty fair satisfaction. The prize system is subject to one disadvantage at any rate, whatever others it may possess— I mean it is subject to the groans of the unsuccessful competitors, and I hear of a few groans this time arising from Messrs Howard, of Bedford ( who are placed in the scale below Mr Smith), and from Mr Smith, who complains of any division of prizes. The first prize in Class 1—" for the best application of steam power for the cultivation of the soil"— is a gold medal and £ 50. The medal is given to Mr John Fowler, of Leeds; and the £ 50 is split, £ 30 being given to Mr Fowler, and £ 20 to Mr Savory, who has intro- duced a somewhat novel mode of employing two engines It is against this splitting that Mr 8mith protests. The prize in the second class " for the best application of steam power which may be effectively and safely adopted for small occupations'' is £ 50, which is split up into three awards, and thus disposed of—£ 25 to Mr Fowler, £ 15 to Mr Smith of Woolstone, and £ 10 to the Messrs J. and F. Howard, of Bedford. I cannot say that anything valuable has arisen out of the steam culture trials, for there were no dynomometrical experi- ments upon which could be based any solid conclusions. It was all mere matter of opinion, not of demonstration. Fowler, Howard, and Smith are now independent of trials such as these, for their apparatus are now in general use throughout the country; at least, that is to say, there is scarcely a county in which there is not one, and in some there are many. The com- petitive work of a few days will not do anything towards shaking opinion where it is already formed, though it may certainly affect present buyers of the incautious kind. Some few disputes have arisen during the trials of steam engines, but they are not of suffi- cient consequence to be noted here. The yard was opened on Monday to members and such visitors as chose to pay gold for the privilege of witnessing the process of public judging, which commenced at six o'clock and terminated about two o'clock. This part cf the proceedings, adopted last year for the first time, proved a great success. The centre of at- traction of course was the shorthorn ring, omitting the horse ring at the end of the yard. Around this gathered the chief breeders, whose herds are here represented or are not. It was a very pretty and striking sight to see a class turned out into the ring. To see the animals in the stalls there is a deal of sameness about them, which vanishes the moment they step from their dwellings to range the enclosure with their leaders. Then the eye catches the character, and begins to discriminate in the matter of height, colour, substance, horn, walk, head, expression, style, bone, car- case, & c. Many of these qualities are perfectly concealed when the animal is in a quiescent state, and appear only when he is ex- cited by the presence of his fellows. It is nota littleamusing and instructive to watch the placing and replacing of various members of the class. Four or five are perhaps called and brought to one end of the enclosure. One or two of these, perhaps, are sent back and replaced by others; the five are then gradually reduced to three or two, as the case may be. It is usual te judge by the assistance of points ranged under a series of headings, such as head, eye, nose, expression, horn, hip, shoulder, & c, allowing the sum total to determine the award. No sooner is the matter deter- mined, than coloured cards are given t © the fortunate winners, and are nailed to the scantling which is above the animal's head when he is fastened in his box. The judges are not supposed to have any knowledge of the animals brought before them; but this in the case of representatives of celebrated herds cannot be the case; because although these animals are only designated by numbers attached to the horns, there is a distinguishing charac- ter in the animals themselves ; and besides this, where one breeder exhibits in several classes, his one leader soon comes to be known, even where the animals do not possess any peculiarity of strain. The Hereford ring was far less crowded than the shorthorn, and the Devon less still. In some of the sheep rings the judgesperformed their work without witnesses and the ring was not always re- sorted to. A brief summary of the show may be given asfoflows : — The shorthorn classes are very good, and possess no very grand specimens. The Hereford classes are well filled with animals of sterling character, and occupy a better position than they ever did at any former show. The Devons are very few in number, but very good in quality. The sheep are numerous and exceedingly good, the pig classes, also, are well filled with good representatives of the various breeds, and the horses, excepting the hunter and hackney classes, show somewhat poorly, espe- cially the agricultural horses. As to numbers I find the follow- ing to be the state of the case independent of entries made for the local society:— Short- Here- Other estab. horn. ford. Devons. Sussex, breeds. Battersea. 250 97 66 30 52 Worcester ... 152 90 50 14 73 The stewards for live stock are Mr Thomas Pain of Salisbury, Mr Mil ward of Southwiek, Nottingham, and Mr Dent, MP., of Wetherby. The., shorthorn judges were Messrs G. Drewry, W. H. Beauford, and J. Unthank. The first prize in the aged bull class was won by a young man and a new man, Mr Jacob Wilson, one of the steam plough judges, with Duke of Tyne, a roan four- and- a- half year old bull not bred fey himself. The broad table back and hips are astonishing. It is a great fleshj' animal, with a fine dash of style about him.' The class as a whole is good, far beyond the prize cattle. There is Lord Faversham's Vice- Chancellor, a noble fellow; and the Earl of Zetland's Savile, a white bull of great size, but uneven; and Mr Bickford's Duke of Manchester. There are some points about General Murat ( 17,955), a roan bull below those of Young Rad- ford, but the former is carried to the second prize by virtue of his wonderful back and chine. The two year old bulls form a very good class. The prizes are well placed as a whole. Had Col Townley's Royal Butterfly 10th ( 18,761) been in prize condition, his style would have carried him higher than third, though perhaps he is a little too leggy, which is the Butterfly defect. Hemlock, in this respeot, affords a good contrast, and Sir A. Rothchild's Sheriff, by Lord Mayor ( 14,828), which gets aH. C. in consequence of his solidity and depth. Neither of these animals ranked highly in the third class at Battersea, takingnote of thereservednumbers held by the judgesatthat time. Mr Peel's Henghest can boast fine substance and form, though wanting in style, and Mr Stratton's Windsor Castle should cer- tainly have done better than to get commended, possessing as he does a perfect symmetry. The yearlings and calves form two large and very fine classes. The second yearling, Royal Butterfly 11th, took by no means a high place as to general merit at Battersea, but he has filled out about the chine and shoulders, and though the skin is beautifully mellow the hair is too thin. There is also a want of hair in Mr Eastwood's white Hero, otherwise a yearling of great beauty. There is a good deal of the Butterfly blood visible here. Mr Woodward's French Butterfly's Ceeur de Lion has two crosses, and Mr Holland's M. P. one. Mr Oliver has a com- mended calf by Romulus Butterfly. The former three in Class III. is of great size, and not yet furnished behind the shoulder. A good deal might be written with regard to the babies were I in- clined to prognosticate and give much attention to nativities. The bantlings ef the shorthorn aristocracy abound with the charac- teristics of their progenitors ; but where so muoh is often done in a year, it is impossible to say where the development wili be, and where the falling away will take place. There is a great amount of speculation as to how the Duke of Thorndale stock will rise. Messrs C. Howard and Robinson are using this blood, and pro- duce good results so far, and one prize winner here. There is good symmetry and mellow touch. Sir Anthony Rothschild has done well with Sheriff and Fortuuatus. The class, as a whole, is one of great promise. Of cows above three years old there are but five entries, amongst whom is the Pride of Southwicke, a roan four- and a- half year old. As usual, Lady Pigot excels in the heifer class ( in calf or milk). Her Rosedale is a sweet creature, with pure Booth descent, vide Valasco and Master Bellviile. She is in calf, so some allowance must be made for substance; but as to perfection of type there can be no question about that; a little overdone may be, and that is all the defect one can find. Mr R. Booth's Queen of the May will not compare with her. There is a beautiful group at the end of the class, and the judges could not resist the temptation of giving four H. C. s— Mr Taylor's Trinket, a rich roan jewel; Mr Bowly's Musical, most harmonious ; Colonel Townley's Royal Butterfly's Duchess, a peeress in her own right; and " Mr Lane's Kiss the 3d. The latter is wonderful in point of substance, but the two representatives of the Townley herd, adding Roan Knight's, Butter- fly, third prize, to the first mentioned, have the preference in style and quaiity. Their touch is very remarkable, and as to type they are the pink of perfection, and augur well for the future celebrity of the herd. The yearling heifers and heifer calves, like the male classes of the same age are exceedingly good. The result of Booth's blood in getting substance is seen in the Duke of Mont- rose's Flower Girl, 7 months in calf, age 1 year 11 months; and in Lady Pilot's Castianira, a year younger, respectively first and third. The second Duke of Thorndale s stock again takes good place for Mr Hull of Kirkham, Lancashire; and Colonel Townley comes out well with Frederick's Farewell, a very sweet memento Bampton's Butterfly, a very fleshy yearling, on whom wings would be of as little use as to the fat cherubs who by painters are made to wear them, and Red Duchess by no means equal to those, between which she stands. Booth, Townley, and Thorndale blood strive together in the calf class, with good result, the particular character of which will be visible on a glance at the prize list below. The Herefords being at home of course muster strongly. They are improving as a class, and getting the character for which the late Lord Berwick strove with such assiduity. This movement has been promoted by the position taken by Mr Duckham, who has undertaken the editing of the Hereford Herd Book, to which he has obtained 4,000 subscribers, a laborious but necessary work. The fifth volume, not long since produced, is systematically arranged, and twice the size of any of its predecessors. The ma- terial includes entries from Ireland, America, and Canada, which proves thatthis is not amere local breed, but one which possesses an adaptation to various soils, which will necessitate its perpetuation. Not only are the pedigrees given with careful completeness, but the performances are added, so that the entry of any famous animal becomes at once the epitome of his history. So the Hereford is looking up, and this show proves it. Mr Duckham is himself an exhibitor of perhaps the best animal of the class, though, not even in the opinion of the judge's, worth a commendation. I no where else see just those defects overcome which have been against the breed, the angularity of rump, & c. The sloping shoulder and a beautiful blending of the shoulder and chine, leaving no void, as is so common with the short- horn, in consequence of the shoulder being too vertical, is a peculiar merit of the Hereford, is here seen in perfection. The class of aged bulls is small. The two year old is good. Three of the bulls girth 8ft lin, and one 7ft llin, whereas the prize shorthorn girths only 7ft 5in. The jearlings and calves are beautiful. Amongst these was observable a white Hereford, a resuscitation of the " grey" variety, formerly known, and a " mottled head'' calf, the only repre- sentative of a now nearly extinct kind. The cows, heifers, year- i lings, and calves are very superior. The herds of Messrs J. Monk- ! house, W. C. Morris, A. J. Rouse, Philip Turner, Lord Bateman, 1 J. H. Arkwright ( a new man), W. Perry, Major- General the Hon i A. Nelson Hood, J. M. Read, & c, are well represented, i The Devous show very well indeed, but are not in force. Messrs I Turner, Pope and Farthing, J. A. Smith, W. H. Wodehouse, and 11- J. Farquharssn are all exhibitors, and there are animals of | great beauty from the Royal Herd. i A great deal of attention is gained by the Cows classed under I " Other Established breeds," especially by the " Norfolk Polled" i variety, a famous sort for milk, of which 8irE. Kerrison is a great i breeder, and here exhibits several beautiful specimens. I The judges of Leicester Sheep were Messrs J. Jordan, J. B. ; Thompson, and R. Woods. The show is large, but not above its j usual excellence. Mr Sandy completes his career as the principal j breeder of the day by exhibiting specimens of his flock equal to i any ever before shown. The high character of the sheep of Messrs were not so" numerous as on former occasions, alttiwuB_ their special districts ; but the specimens shown fully support the character of the breed. Robert Game sweeps off most of the prizes, and in the shearling class takes the three prizes, although there is some doubt whether the second pen should not have been first. Mr Hardy and Lane, and Beale and Brown show grand sheep, with magnificent table backs and surprising girth. The Lincoln Sheep form a large class, remembering how far they are from home. Mr G. F. Howards, of Temple Bruer, are splendid types of the breed. The Oxford Downs are well represented by pens from the flocks of Messrs Druce, Barnett, Wallis, Gil'ett, and C. Howard, who has shown his sheep clipped. The principal exhibitors of South Downs are Lord Walsing- feam, Mr Rigden, and the Duke of Richmond, but the former makes a clean sweep nearly of the prizes in every class, at least he takes 12 prizes and commendations out of the 17 which are offered. The Shropshire breed preserves its character for wool and mut- ton. They make a magnificent show. The Hampshires, without being very good, show signs of great utility. The Ryeland Sheep, an ancient mountain breed of Hereford- shire, without any especial excellency except hardihood, are here to be seen. The Pigs are good, but not very special. The established breeds and endless varieties of " improved" breeds are here represented. AstoImplements, the show isvery large, larger than ever. Agreat number of manufacturers' agents are present, as usual, who du- plicate and re- duplicate the wares shown also by the makers themselves, so that Howard's ploughs, for instance, appear on fifty different stands. Some selection is much needed, and will be made, I fancy, when an extension of this nuisance makes these shows quite unmanageable. Already the ground occupied amounts to forty acres. This is the first shilling day, and the people are flocking in in great numbers. The sky looks threatening, but there are hopes on the part of the finance committee that, although not. so great a success as Leeds Meeting, the Worcester Meeting will, so far as results go, rank far above the meeting at Battersea, by which the society lost about £ 3,000. Some short review of novelties in the implement stands will follow next week. The following is a list of the prizes :— CATTLE. SHORTHORNS.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.— The opera of " Oberon" has baen repeated with increased effect, and the manager has also given Mozart's lovely opera of " Le Nozze di Figaro," the characters being sustained, with two exceptions, by the same artistes as last season. Mdlle or Fraulein Leibhart, a German lady, who has been singing at some of the principal concerts of the season, has appeared for the first time ai Italian opera as Susanna. In spite of the difficulties inherent in singing in a foreign language, Mdlle Leibhart created a very favourable impression by the finish of her vocalisation, and was applauded for her delicate execution of the principal songs allotted to the part. The noble duet " Crudel perche finora" was so well sung by this lady and Mr Santley, that an encore followed as a matter of course, a like compliment being paid to " BuH'aria,'' in which Mdlle Titiens joined. Mdlle Tre- belli looked the saucy page Cherubino to the life, and sang the exquisite aria " Voi che sapete" so faultlessly, and with such feel- ing, as to elicit an encore. Signor Bettini took the part of Basilio for the first time, and revived the air belonging to it, " In quegli anni," which former representatives have omitted. Mr 8antley has never sung better than on this occasion; his version of the gay and married Almavivaisso excellent as to defy all comparison between himself and the representatives of the part since Tam- burini left the stage. The concerted music at the close of the first act did not go off so well as it should have done, but this defect will be remedied, doubtless, at subsequent repetitions of the opera, which, for delicate harmonies, graceful melodies, and elegant adaptations of orchestral effects, has no superior on the Italian stage. ROYAL ITALIAN OPEBA — It would have been a novel omission to have passed the season over with no representation of Meyer- beer's greatest lyric work, " The Huguenots." This was not to be, and the opera has been presented in ail due form, with Mdlle. Pauline Lucca, from the opera at Berlin, as Valentine, being her first appearance in England. The good will of the audience was at once secured for the fair debutante when she made her appear- ance descending the steps into the Queen's garden with a pleasant air of self- possession indicative of operatic honours having been won and worn elsewhere. On appearing before the footlights she was found to be young, handsome, and intelligent- looking, and as she had little to do in this act her reception was encouraging. In the second came the famous duet with Marcel, played and sung by Herr Formes with his usual vigour and heartiness, and here the new comer evinced her great powers as a vocalist of very considerable skill, combined with a full soprano voice of great compass, better in quality in the upper than lower range. The plaudits were thick and threefold, and she was summoned to appear before the curtain te receive the congratulations of her new friends. The long and exacting duet with Raoul in the sub- sequent act tested her powers and voice still further, but she passed the ordeal triumphantly, and sang with great energy and feeling. The earlier scene did not produce the impression it used to do in the days when MadameViardotandMadameGrisi filled the character; but something must be allowed for the hopes and fears attendant on a first appearance, the scene itself being very trying at all times. The lady is not unlike Mdlle Patti in figure, and is said to have gained praise of no common kind from M Meyerbeer himself, who has expressed his desire that she should sustain the principal role in his as yet unheard opera, " L'Afri- caine," whenever that opera is played on the operatic stage. Signor Mario was in tolerable v* ice, and sang particularly well in the beautiful septet. Mdile Marie Battue was the Queen, and gave the florid airs attached to the character with a thorough absence of all effect and charm. M Faure, Signor Tagliaficr and Madame Didiee did the fullest justice to the parts of the Counts di St Bris and Neversand, and the page Urbain, the band and chorus being, as usual, irreproachable. On Tuesday was revived, for the first time for seven years, Donizetti's comic opera of " L EIisir d'Amore," one of the' most sparkling and brilliant ever written by its com- poser, and containing two characters exactly fitted for twe of the principal artistes in Mr Gye's troupe. It was scarcely possible to credit the fact that it was the lady's first appearance in the charac- ter of Adina, so perfectly true to nature was her acting, and so faultlessly beautiful was every note she had to sing. Her coquetry in the first act was genial and full of humour, and her flirting with Belcore, the sergeant, and the Dr Dulcamara, was an admir- able piece of the most finished acting. It is needless to praise her singing, every portion of it being as highly finished a specimen of vocalisation as can be heard in these musical times. The duet with Ronconi, " Io son ricco," was a great treat, and created an excitement through the theatre, which was only appeased by its being immediately repeated. 8ignor Ronconi literally revelled in the fun which he made out of his part from his first entrance in his mountebank cart to the close of the opera. Such whim- sicalities and tricks, such grimaces and postures, are only possible with this greatest of all exponents of Italian comedy ; and his singing was equally good, his voice being in good order, and the liability to sing flat not heard throughout the evening. Signor Tagliafico was good as Belcore ; and M Naudin, though at times wanting in animation, clever and efficient as the distracted lover Nemorino. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.— The attraction of Mdlle Stella Colas, the new French Juliet, seems to increase rather than diminish, for the house has been crowded during the past week on the nights of her performance, and the applause of the audience been more liberally bestowed. The lady is young, graceful, and pretty, and her acting bears unmistakable evidence of a long study of the character, the contrast between the early love scenes in the ball- room and balcony and those in Friar Lawrence's cell being admi- rably marked, while the nicer shades of the varied emotions which torture the breast of the confiding girl are delicately delineated. Mdlle Colas introduces many new effects, at one time moving the leaves which grow over the balcony to obtain a batter view of her lover, at another leaning on the back of her chair to contemplate the misery of her situation. In the fourth act, previous to drink- ing the soporific draught, her poses and attitudes, though slightly exaggerated, as is the tendency of the French school of acting, were very striking, and the real passion and power she displayed in picturiiag to herself the horrors which might possibly await her wakening in the tomb of her ancestors were so fine as to make the audience forget the absurdity of their transports by summon- ing the lady to appear before them at the end of the act. Mr Walter Montgomery improves nightly as Romeo, and proves him- self to be an actor of no common ability. The Nurse is excellently played by Mrs H. Marston, and the make- up of Mr Belmore as the starved Apothecary is marvellous for its truth to nature. Mer- cutio is a part to be represented perfectly by a Kemble or a Kean, so difficult is it to present its varying touches of nature and art, as distinct from individual personality. Mr G. Vining, however, does his best. The final scene, as here represented, is altered from Bhakspere, and not improved; the horrors of it are much too pro- tracted to be endurable. STBAND THEATBE.— A new burlesque, founded on the very popular drama of " The Duke's Motto," and called " The Motto ; I'm All There," has been produced here with a successful result; and the public appear to relish the new collection of parodies, buffo songs, dances, and word- torturings as if such things had never been heard in the little theatre any time before. Mr George Honey plays the part of Henri di Lagardere, Miss Maria Simpson that of Gonzagues, Miss Jenny White is Carrickfergus, whilst Miss Ada Swanborongh as Blanche, and Miss Fanny Josephs as the Gipsy Girl, complete the cast of the principal amongst the dramatis persona. DRAMATIC COLLEGE.— The fate now going on at the Crystal Palace for the benefit of the funds of this institution will be con- cluded to- morrow, when all sorts and kinds of attractions will be provided to tempt the public to add to so charitable ail under- taking. LYCEUM THEATRE.— Mr Fechter announces that the season here will terminate in a fortnight, owing to provincial engage- ments made by him before " The Duke's Metto" was thought likely to be so frequently repeated as it has been. tional blindfold. In this condition the woman ag& Ln moved , on the ropti; she held the balancing pole in her hands, * nd | cautiously put her feet to feel her way ; she had trodden but three falterli.'^ steps, when the rope collapsed, the i platform on which it? attendant was standing fell back, and j the poor woman was dashrtf to tHe ground. Her death was in- j stantangous. Surgical aid was at hand, but it was of no avail. Concussion of the brain or injury to the spir. e was in all proba- bility the cause of death. The deceased was far advanced in pregnancy, and is said to have had some presentiment that the rope was not safe. It had been recently spliced, and gave way at that part. At the moment of this shocking occurrence there were many thousands of persons from Birmingham and the black country actual spectators of it, and so little effect did it pro- duce that the fete was continued, terminating with a display of fireworks at midnight; the Foresters'Committee, who had the conduct of the proceedings, having at a meeting after the accident determined " to go on with the programme, omitting the dan- gerous parts." The scene of this disaster is that very Aston Park which Her Majesty deigned to open as a " People's Park" five year ago; it is to be hoped that it has now for the last time been used for such debasing and brutalising performances as that of Monday evening, July 20. An inquest has been commenced by Mr Poole, the county coroner, and adjourned. It appeared in the course of the inquiry that the poor woman's name was Powell, that she had been a rope walker ever since she wak three years old, and that her hus- band consented to peril her life for the sum of £ 15, for which she was to have gone though the performance twice. The rope was provided by him, and was proved to be in a very rotten state. It seems the Aston Park Company were to have received one- fourth of the money taken at the gates for the hire of the ground, and that they never attempted to stop the tight- rope dancing. Tiie deceased has left six children, and was six months advanced in pregnancy with another. SHOCKING DEATH OF ANOTHER " FEMALE BL0NBIN." Aston Park, a short distance from Birmingham, was the scene of a sad occurrence on Monday evening, July 20. A woman, calling herself the " Female Blondin," fell from a rope suspended 30 feet above the greensward, and was killed on the spot, death being instantaneous. The poor creature had been engaged to go through her perilous performance on the occasion of a fete held in the park, in aid of the funds of the Order of Foresters, and there were many thousands of persons present She made her appearance a little before seven o'clock, having been advertised as " the only real and legitimate performer of Biondin's great feats, walking the rope shackled in chains, feet in baskets, blindfolded, enveloped in a sack, & c." The rope on which the performance was to take plane is said to have been so worn and decayed that one of the officials at the hall described it as " a rope on which he would not allow a dog to go." This cord was about 30 yards in length, was suspended between two trees at the altitude described, and fastened round the trunk of each tree. One extremity of the rope was carried over a trestle, on which was a resting- place for the performer: midway between this and the tree to which the other end ef the rope was attached another trestle was placed. This work was done under the superinten- dence of the woman's husband. All the preliminaries having been arranged, the performer ascended the landing- place amid the cheers of the crowd ; she was attended by her husband, who gave her the balancing pole and chalked her boots. The band struck up a lively air, and as it did so Madame Geneive stepped cautiously and apparently with some degree of hesitation on the rope. She walked about half its length, knelt and stood upon one leg, then returned to her resting- place. At this point her husband stepped forward and attached a couple of steel chains to his wife's ankles and wrists. Again the poor creature moved for- ward, evidently in no spirit of confidence, but she walked slowly along the en'ire length of the rope, reaching the opposite resting- place in safety. An attendant approached and removed the chains, : and at the same time placing a bag over her head, with an addi- ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. UNLAWFUL ASSEMBLIES IN IBELAND — Mr Justice Hayes has been| dealing out even- handed justice between the rival factions in the county ef Down. At Downpatrick, on Monday, seven Roman Catholics pleaded Guilty to the charge of having taken part in an unlawful assembly at Ballyvally, on St John's Eve last. Sir Thomas Staples, the Crown prosecutor, stated that the Crown did not press the charge of riot againt the prisoners, and he thought their conduct did not come within the ordinary soope of illegal processions. St John's Eve was not an " anniversary day " of a party kind. People had been accustomed from time immemorial to assemble round bonfires on that nighs, and if they had not marched to the bonfire in military array, and with firearms, perhaps they would not have been indicted. He might have added that this Midsummer oelebration is older than Christianity, and that antiquaries believe it to be a remnant of the worship of Baal. But, though the Crown seemed disposed to let off the pri- soners without any punishment, the judge did not take the same view of the subject. They had pleaded Guilty to the riot, but he had made up his mind that no part of the sentence should be appli- cable to that alleged offence. He did not wish to interfere with the ancient and simple amusements of the people, which might have in them something of a religious celebration. He would deal with their conduct as an offence against the Processions Act. They were not indicted for attending a bonfire, but for going to it in a manner calculated to disturb the peace, at a time when quiet and well- disposed people should have been going to their beds. At ten or eleven o'clock at night they went on the public roads, with drums, fifes, and firearms. No less than 14 or 15 persons were armed with guns, which they fired off when called on to dis- perse, and the police actually heard the whizzing of the balls and slugs with which they had been loaded. Had there been persons there differing from them in politics and religion, and not gitted with the spirit of forbearance, the result might have been blood- shed and death. His lordship sai'd that such cases as this had been too leniently dealt with, and sentenced the prisoners to three months' hard labour, adding that a second offence would be much more severely dealt with. He next had to decide upon a charge against a number of Orangemen who had been charged with join- ing in an illegal procession on the 12th of July, 1862. They had no emblems, they offended no one, they dispersed quietly when told to do so by the police, and the jury had recommended them to mercy. The judge passed upon them a similar sentence to that of the other parties. A HOBSE CASE.— At Stafford, on Tuesday, an action was tried, brought by Mr Heath, of Stafford, who had stables at Beddon- hall, against a farmer named Spencer, for breach of warranty of a mare which Spencer had warranted sound. It appeared that, on the recommendation of one Wale, plaintiff went over to the defendant's farm at Hartshill, near Atherstone, in Warwickshire, to see the mare in question. He saw her, as he said, tried, can- tered, and jumped there, but returned home without buying her. The defendant on that occasion called her a six year old, and warranted her sound. On the 6th or 7th of August the plaintiff sent Wale with a check for £ 60, the price of the mare, to the de- fendant's place to fetch her away. Wale did so, and took her for that night to his own stables, and on the 8th sent her on to the plaintiff s. Before she had been in the stable threo minutes the plaintiff remarked a cough, and subsequently observed that her fetlocks were puffed, and he sent her the same day to Mr Carless, a veterinary surgeon in Stafford of 40 years' practice. Mr Car- less was not then at home, but when he saw her next day he pro- nounced her unsound. She was sent by the plaintiff back to the defendant on the 17th of August, upon which the defendant wrote to say he had received her, but would only keep her for the plaintiff, and that he heard no cough Some letters passed be- tween the attorney of the plaintiff sud the defendant, and the defendant made an offer to return £ 45, but refused to pay any costs. The defendant kept the horse for about a year, and then it was sold by auction for £ 15.— Mr Carless decribed the mare as of nine or ten years of age, affected with a bad chrsnic cough, with wind touched, and without any symptoms of the cough being of recent date, with puffed fetlocks, and with both hocks fired for bone spavin, and as changing her feet continually. lie also said he had seen her as late as last Monday, arid from'her flank move- ment on that occasion he thought her wind was now broken. Her previous history was also given by the plaintiff, how in 1860 one Rixom had sold her to one Claridge, a horse dealer at Coventry, for £ 9; that she then had a cough; that Claridge sold her to a Mr Bull for £ 14, who took her out hunting, but after gcing over three fields gave it up in despair, and returned her to Claridge, who sold her again in October, 1S60, to the defendant for £ 20 without a warranty. The only defence set up was that at the time of the sale the mare was sound. And the defendant stated that from the time he bought her of Claridge for, as he said, £ 22, in 1860, till he sold her to the plaintiff, he had ridden and hunted her and never perceived any cough or unsoundness. And his horsebreaker, one Thornton, was called to prove that he had rid- den her during the same period after the hounds, and that she was all right. Thornton, when he appeared, was clearly drunk, but he declared " confidentially'' that the mare was sound. Mr Ison, the defendant's veterinary surgeon, had seen her hunting, and said the horse could not have had a chronic cough without his knowing it. The defendant further said that at the time of the salethe horse was so tired— being, as he said, galloped, though this was denied— that; the cough must have then shown itself if it had existed, and that any cough the horse had must have been a grass cough, or a cold it might have caught from change of stables at Wale's, or tke plaintiff's; that after she returned to the defendant she had no cotigh; that the subsequent sale for so low a sum as £ 15 was in consequence of its being known that there was a dis- pute as to her soundness, and a Mr Myhon, who bought her the day after the sale for £ 16, said that he had hunted for three days in a fortnight for the season, and sold her afterwards to Colonel Chetwood at an increased price, and though she showed a cough occasionally, she still went very well.— The damages were agreed to be £ 60.— The learned baron having summed up, the jury im- mediately found a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages—£ 60. CUBIOUS CASE OF TREASURE TROVE.— At Lewes, on Thursday, Silas Thomas and Stephen Willett ( both in humble circumstances) were tried for concealing 111b of gold, value £ 530, which had been found by a ploughman named Butcher, in a field at Mountfield.— Mr Denman, in opening the case for the prosecution, stated the facts, and said this was a charge of a very unusual nature, pro- bably one of a kind that none of them had ever heard of or been engaged in before. According to Blackstone's Commentaries the law in the case of treasure trove was, " If any person find any ancient coin, plate, or bullion concealed in the earth or in any field, and if the same be not owned by any person, that the same shall belong to the King; but if any one shall find property of a similar character which can be proved to be abandoned and not concealed, then it shall become the property of the finder." Now, it appeared that on the 12tn of January a man named Butcher was ploughing in a field near Mountfield, and he ploughed up something which he at first took to be brass, There were a ' number of rings ; one appeared to have been made to go round the body, and some of the others seemed to be circlets for the arms and neck. There were also several pieces shaped like horseshoes, and several pieces of what, might at one time have been part of a kingly breastplate. Altogether there were about twenty pieces, the largest one being perhaps a yard long, but almost doubled up. The man thought, that this last piece had been a musical instrument. The spike of the plough had entered into the ground, about eighteen inches when the first piece was dug up. In the evening Butcher took them home, and showed them to his neighbours and acquaintances, as, although he did not suppose they were valuable, he at the same time thought there was something very striking about them. All his neighbours agreed with him that they were brass, and they were put for the night in the stable. The next day Thomas came to him and asked to look at them. Now this gold was of a very peculiar nature; no doubt old Celtic ornaments used by the mast ancient inhabitants of Great Britain before it was conquered by the Romans. Well, no sooner did Thomas see these articles than he said he had a bro- ther who bought old brass, and that if Butcher would let him have two or three pieces as samples he would buy the whole of him and give him 6d per lb. He was allowed to take two pieces, and he returned the same evening, but in the meantime, as he ( the learned counsel) would prove by witnesses, he went to Hastings, and inquired in a jeweller's" shop whether that which he had got from Butcher was brass or gold, and upon being told that it was gold he asked the man if he would buy it. He returned the same evening to Butcher with a steelyard and purchased the whole amount, for which he paid 5s 6d, telling him at the same time that if he got more for it he would return him the surplus. Butcher hearing rumours that it was more valuable than stated by Thomas, spoke to him about it, when the latter said that it was probable there might be a little silver in it, but he did not know, and if there should be any in it Butcher should have it made up to him. The latter afterwards saw Willett, who told him that ho had given 5s 6d to Thomas for it, but there could not be the slightest duubt that they knew at that time that it was gold— for previous to that time, on the 23d of January, it would be proved that Willett went to London, and sold the whole of the " brass" for £ 530 to Messrs Brown and Wingrove, of Wood- street, Cheapside, gold refiners. He was paid by a cheque on Glyn's bank. That cheque he changed the same day, and the notes which he received were afterwards lodged in a bank in Hastings. The two prisoners became all at once apparently rich, and rumours went abroad which resulted in an officer going to Willett, and asking him if he knew that he had bought a large quantity of gold as brass. " Nonsense," said Willet, " I am an old' Californian miner, and know what's what;" and no doubt he did so, or he would never have purohased it. An inquest was afterwards held upon this treasure trove, and ulti- mately the two prisoners were given into custody He would now call his witnesses, and then leave the case to the jury.— The case having been proved, Mr Ribton, for the defence, con- tended that the treasure had not been hidden within the meaning of the act, that it had been designedly abandoned, and that the prisoners had fairly come by it, and therefore were not guilty. — The learned judge in summing up said the question for the jury was whether this was what was called treasure trove— that was to say, was it treasure that had been buried ? If they were of opi- nion that it was not, then there was an end of the ca » e. It might be that one of the Phoenicians, or the Romans, or Danes, or Nor- mans, to whom Mr Ribton had referred, had buried his treasure, and was afterwards obliged to fly, or had fallen in battle, and there the trove remained until dug up by poor Butcher, who had not much benefited by it, whoever else might have done. The next question was whether the prisoners concealed it, knowing it to be gold, and dealing with it in a manner to benefit them- selves. But the chaTge they would see was not of concealing the treasure, but concealing the* finding of it. With those few obser- vations he left the case in the hands of the jury.— The jury almost at once returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners — Mr Ribton then took an objection to the wording of the indictment. He thought that the word " fraudulent'' ought to have been in- serted, and gave notice of an appeal.— A lengthy discussion then took place, and in the end his lordship said the case must stand over to be argued in the Court of Criminal Appeal, RIBBONMEN IN IRELAND.— In opening the assizes for the King's County the Lord Chief Justice lamented the prevalence of Rib- bonism in it. Secret societies, he said, were the plague spot of Ireland, and he called for vigilance on the part of the magistracy to suppress their operations in the King's County. The police said that the fault was not theirs— that the magistrates would not ! grant warrants for the arrest of the Ribbonmen. The magistrates ; said the people were afraid to swear informations, on account of ; their lives and property being unsafe from these societies, but he | thought if exertions were made to protect the people they would ; help to put them down. THE ROUPELL CASE.— This case, which commenced last week ! at Guildford, before Mr Baron Channell, and which is to try the > validity of a deed of gift, alleged on one side to have been forged by S William Roupell, and on the other to have been executed by his father, was still going on when we went to press, having occupied the attention of the court for eight days. The learned baron com- menced his summing up on Friday morning, but we had not heard the result at a late hour.

Saturday, July 18, these ^ ROUNDS were remarkably well attended by the aristocratic club members, who shot a great many handicap sweepstakes at pigeons, from five traps. The principal winners were Lord Stormont, Captain Peyton, Mr Dillwyn, Mr Trotter, and Mr Ricardo. The shooting was very good, and a great many of Barber's birds came to grief. It is the intention of the worthy proprietress, Mrs Stone, to get up a great handicap, open to all England. LILLIE ARMS, OLD BBOMPTON.— On Monday, July 20, there was a very large attendance of the admirers of the trigger at this excellently conducted place of amusement to witness the handi- cap pigeon shooting from three traps, with double guns, the use of both barrels. The first event decided was a sweepstakes, which Mr E. Smith won, killing all his birds, 5, beating 15 other good shots. The silver cup was then contended for by 12 gentlemen, at 5 birds each, which was tied for by Captain F., Messrs A. A., H. Webb, and Betts, who brought down all their birds, and in shooting it off, bird for bird, the two latter gentlemen after scoring several birds were shot out. Captain F. and Mr A. A. continued shooting in a most splendid style, scoring no less than 19 birds out of 20 each, when they agreed to divide, Mr A. A. taking the cup, a very handsome one. The supply of birds ' by Offer was very large indeed, but there being such a multiplicity of shooters present the whole were disposed of towards the close of the evening, when the visitors and competitors retired to the hotel to dinner, and washed it down with dozens of sparkling champagne. Bill Page, the celebrated pigeon shot, of the Grapes, Gerrard- street, Soho, returns his best thanks to the gentry and sporting public for their liberal and unbounded patronage since his in- stallation as maitre d'hotel. Page will not speak of his own re- nown as a marksman in the field, believing that a " bird in hand is always worth two in a bush;" and having now but one object to aim at, namely, the supplying of the choicest and best articles in the shape of wines, spirits, liquors, & c, at a reasonable tariff, ha hopes to secure continued success through the support of his friends and customers.

Porter's gun at the 13th bird missed fire, and the referee allowed a second. Silwood killed his 18th bird, but the referee decided that he held his gun too high, and allowed another, which he brought down in good style, and won the match, Mr Silwood scoring 13, Mr Porter 10. Bet- ting : 10 to 8 on the winner. A sweepstakes was then shot by 7 members, 5s each, at small birds, on the usual conditions, 3 birds each, when Messrs O'Hare and Lee tied and divided.

ARCHERY-— THE ALEXANDRA PARK MEETING.— We have received an account of this meeting, but are compelled to omit it for want of space. If possible it shall appear in our next. ILLNESS OF LORD CLYDE — This gallant general has been suffer- ing from severe illness for some time, and early in the week rumours of his death were freely circulated. We are glad, to find however, that there was no ground for these statements, and that his lordship is progressing slowly towards recovery. Consumption, arid all nervous, bilious, liver, and stomach 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. We quote a few: — Cure, No 46,270.

SPORTING CHRONICLE. [ LATEST EDITION.] THE TURF. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S. MONDAY, JULY 20.— The greater portion of the afternoon was devoted to settling the accounts of the past week, and the betting that eventually took place did not assume a very extensive range. The notion that the " Tomato case" would be finally disposed of this afternoon doubtless contributed to increase the attendance, but a further postponement of that long vexed question until Thursday was eventually announced. Both Brighton and Dulcibella were firm for the Nottinghamshire Handicap at 5 to 2, the last bets booked about them being those odds to a " century'' each; bar tkese 7 to 1 was offered, Blithfield being nominally " third best" favourite. Anfield, on the report of having been satisfactorily " put through the mill," was in so much request for the Goodwood Stakes that at first the highest offer against him was 2 to 1; the eagerness to " get on," however, gra- dually abated, and at last 5 to 2 was offered " on the field.'' Bell- man remained steady at 100 to 15, and 10 to 1 was offered " bar two," although the latterodds wereoccasionally bookedaboutZapa- teado again, who, like Anfield, was reported to have done a " good thing'' at home, isuckstone remained very steady for the Good- wood Cup, " leaving off at 9 to 4; and frequent offers were made to take 5 to 1 about La Toucques. Isoline was supported for a large amount at 7 to 1, while Fairwater, consequent on her Liver- pool defeat, retired to offers of 10 to 1. The announcement was made that Tim Whiffler— who has from time to time figured in the quotations— had been struck out to- day at 1: 25 p. m. Wagering on the St Leger was confined to an investment on King of the Vale at 20 to 1 to a small amount, and a bet of 1,000 to 20 about Bonny Bell. Nothing worth comment was done on the Derby. THURSDAY, JULY 23.— There was a comparatively large attendance to- day on account of the expected decision of the " Tomato Case"— elsewhere referred to— but very little attempt was made at speculation on the Goodwood events. Late in the afternoon, however, An Held was invested on at 5 to 2 for about £ 600, and Zapateado was supported at 10 to 1. The highest offer against Buckstone for the Cup was 9 to 4. One or two minor bets were made, but too insignificant for quotation. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE HANDICAP. MONDAY. THURSDAY. Reeves 5 to 2 ( tk) .... Jos. Dawson.. 5 to 2 ( tk) .... Saunders 7 to 1 ( off) ....

As usual on the Saturday previous to Goodwood, the Subscrip- tion Room was opened for the purpose of settling on past, and comparing on coming events. Members mustered in greater force than is usually the case on Saturday meetings, but the Goodwood betting was languid, and there were none of those changes and " knockings out" that last year imparted an un- usual interest to the proceedings. But very few were backed for the Stakes, for which Anfield was in immense force, the highest offer, after 5 to 2 had been invested to some amount, being 2 to 1. Blondin for money supplanted Bellman ; after 7 to 1 had been taken about the former 100 to 15 was the highest offer for a time, but subsequently 7 to 1 was again booked; against the latter those odds were at any time obtainable. Zapateado was in considerable demand at 10 to 1. The only others mentioned were the Wasp gelding, who " came'' in the City in the morning, as little as 8 to 1 being taken, but at the Cor- ner was quite friendless at 100 to 6, as was Knutsford, about whom the same odds were to be had, an attempt to " revive" him proving abortive. For the Stewards' Cup there was a strong commission out to back Muezzin, who advanced from 9 to 1 to 7 to 1. Lady Clifden, notwithstanding her " stop- per" of 9st 41b, was strongly fancied, and at 20 to 1 a very large sum was invested on her. Late in the afternoon, when nearly all the subscribers had taken their departure, Mr Ten Broeck's four were backed at 40 to 1 by their owner for about a " century" each. The following 13 were backed for an even " monkey" against the field:— Muezzin, Birdhill, East Sheen, Catch ' emAiive, Weather- spy, Soapstone, Amazonian, Merry Hart, Bohemian, Keane, Al. mack, Cheerful, and Lord of Linne. Buckstone was very firm for the Cup at 9 to 4 ; 700 to 200 was taken about La Toucques, and 11 to 1 to £ 50 was laid agst Atherstone. Neither Isoline nor Fairwater were mentioned. There was no Leger betting, and 40 to 1 against Birchbroom was the only Derby transaction that came under our notice.

That this alone caused such an increased attendance was apparent, for no attempt, whatever was made to indulge in speculation on the Goodwoodevents until after the " official notice" was issued, and then most of the subscribers took their departure. Dnring the sitting of the committee— there being present Mr Charles Greville ( chairman), the Earl of Westmoreland, Lord Exinout. h, Admiral Rous, Colonel Higgins, and Mr George Payne — a little wagering took place at evens as to whether the decision would be reversed or not, and an offer was made to take 5 to 1 that it was not settled this afternoon at all. This notion— although the " offer" was not accepted— proved ultimately correct, for after a rather lengthy " wait," the following notice was posted in the usual place:— " FERNHILL STAKES. " That, as there are only tw » members of the committee who have no bets on the race, it has been agreed to refer the decision to certain members of the Jockey Club who have no interest in it. ( Signed) " C. GHEVILLE, Chairman." Thus the affair remains in statu quo, and to those who visited Tattersall's on Thursday solely for the purpose of hearing the ex- pected " final decision,'' it proved a " blank afternoon."

Nelson's horse by Newminster out of Grey Hen, 5 yrs, was named Gamecock after winning the Stand Plate at South- ampton on Wednesday. We are requested to state that Moula was struck out of the Ches- terfield Handicap at Chester May 1, at nine a. m., to Mr Topham. Also that Queen of Trumps was scratched for the First Class Wokingham at Ascot, to Mr Manning, June 4, at seven p. m. SALE OF RACING STOCK.— The brood mares, with foals, and three yearlings, the property of the late Mr James Clark, of Marl- borough, are advertised to be sold by auction on the second day of Reading Races. It is contemplated to bring forward the Hungerford Meeting to an early period of the spring, and from the number of horses trained in the neighbourhood the movement, if carried out, will doubtless prove highly successful. THE GOODWOOD MEETING. The Nottingham, Winchester, and Southampton Meetings have passed away without producing any particularly startling inci- dents, and we are not required to comment upon them in detail, it being sufficient to remark, as regards the doings in the south, that Molly Carew proved she had recovered her early spring form, while Bally Edmond, on the contrary, showed he had gone completely off when allowing Vinegar Hill to beat him for a Queen's Plate. For example, the latter was beaten easily when receiving 101b from Millionaire at Ascot, and Mr Bryan's horse had no chance with Bally Edmond at Chelmsford, so that the son of Bantam appeared capable of giving Vinegar Hill at least 201b At Nottingham, the two great guns for the principal handicap were disgracefully beaten, the only three year olds that were in the field running first and second; and it is also worthy of notice that the Chesterfield, on the second day, was carried off' by one of the juveniles, which facts ought to put the backers of the three year olds in the Goodwood Stakes and Cup into good spirits, for it is plain they have had but little to encourage them hitherto, the old horses this season having carried all before them. The Goodwood Meeting is annually looked forward to with the most pleasurable feelings by the racing community, for, besides the capital four days' sport, the brilliant assemblage on the lawn, and the pleasant drive through the domains of the Duke of Rich- mond, there is an additional treat to be enjoyed in the sojourn at the many watering places between Brighton and the scene of operations ; for Chichester is not half large enough to receive the company that has of late years assisted at the meeting, which is now in the zenith of its glory, the programme being full of the most popular races of the day. It comprises three handicaps, over six furlongs, a mile and a quarter, and two miles and a half respectively, a Nursery Handicap, a Cup race, and a host of two year old contests of the greatest import; and, with the three year old and minor items, there are altogether thirty- four events for the four days, those that have been completed up to this time having the best of entries to boast of. The Gratwicke Stakes will be constituted the three year old event of the first day ; and if there is not a first- class lot engaged in it, some little importance will attach to the result, as one of the Goodwood Stakes favourites, Zapateado, is certain to figure in the encounter, and his performance will be closely watched. He has an allowance of 61b, and the only doubt we have is whether he can beat Clarior ( 31b allowed), presuming the latter to be Lord Glasgow's champion. The " spots" are also fortunate in having Piccador to carry them in the 100 sovs Sweepstakes on the Queen's Plate Course, for his opponents are either very moderate or incapable of getting the distance. The Ham Stakes will probably tempt some half dozen of the fourteen engaged, as only a couple have been in public, Mirage and Izaac Walton, and their doings have been anything but encou- raging. Colonel Towneley nominates four, viz, Country Cousin, a filly by West Australian out of Boarding School Miss; Ellerby, a colt by West Australian out of Ellermire; Scarlet Runner, a filly by Orlando out of Haricot; and Castle Hill, a chesnut colt by Rataplan out of Nelly Hill; and the quartette are so well bred that it will be singular if there is not one among them of more than a moderate stamp. Mr Merry is represented by a filly by Saunterer out of Mcestissima, and a filly by Wild Dayrell out of Lady Lurewell; and the first- named will probably be trusted, as she takes a 61b allowance. Lord Exeter's well- bred fillies— Auri- cular, by Ambrose out of Pocahontas ; and a daughter wf Am- brose and Ava— have no allowances, Sir J. Hawley's Beloochee, the high- priced brother to Lady Augusta, being no better off. And as the latter will not yet make his debut, we must stand on Mr Merry's Mcestissima filly, to represent our interests, for we have heard nothing of the remaining three nominations, which consist of Mr C. Alexander's Peon, a colt ( brother to Stampedo) by Alarm out of Repentance; Mr Payne's colt by Teddington out of Nunnery's dam ; and Mr R. Sutton's Skeffington, a colt by Teddington out of Juanita Perez. The Lavant Stakes is a half mile spin for two year olds, and there is a capital lot for the field to be made up from. The ma- jority of the candidates have been seen out more than once, Crytheia ( 31b extra), Knight of Snowdon, the colt by Wild Day- rell out of Agra, Alliance, Verdiere, the colt by 8aunterer out of Calliope, Cambuscan ( 51b extra), Procella, Battaglia, Nathalie, Tomfoolery, the filly by Teddington out of Alitipa, Narbonne, and Durham ( 31b extra), comprising a respectable lot; Cambus- can is the . only " clipper," though both Durham and Crytheia have run forward in good company, and the Knight of Snowdon's party are not at all satisfied with his defeat at Ascot by the Scottish Chief. The " dark" lot may also bring forth something formida- ble, as it is made up of the following:— Lord Ailesbury's Michael, a colt by Orlando out of Muscovite's dam ; Lord Coventry's Light- finger, a filly by Fazzoletto out of Legerdemain; Mr W. Day's colt by Stoekweil out of Alma, by Gameboy, and colt by Vedette out of Glenochty; Capt Lamb's Eleanor, a filly by Gemma di Vergy out of Beauty; Mr Henry's Obedience, a filly by Drumour out of Bonner and Buxom; Count Lagrange's Beatrix, a filly by Monarque out of Miss Ion, and Royal Navarre, a colt by Monarque out of Liouba; Mr Merry's colt by Baunterer out of Morgan la Faye ( in the same interest as the Calliope colt); Mr Naylor's Audacieuse, a filly by Newminster out of Imperatrice's dam, Eulogy; Lord Bt Vincent's Telscombe, a colt by Prime Minister out of Fairy, by Slane ( a companion of Narbonne) ; and Wander- ing Minstrel, a colt by Fandango out of Gadabout. The French division is dangerous in the extreme ; and we should like to see Audacieuse and Wandering Minstrel swell the field, as they are cut out for the half mile. In fact, in the probable absence of Cambuscan, the dark division may produce something just good enough to beat the best of the public performers, which we take to be Scottish Chief. The Stewards' Cup, on the T. Y. C., will afford the usual scramble, and we will not attempt to analyse the handicap, consi- dering how much depends on the start, and the impartiality with which the weights have been adjusted. Still, we sur- mise that there are a few of the seventy- three subscribers who may have deceived the handicapper by not running on their pro- per courses this season, and the winner may be comprised in the following lot, most of whom strike us as peculiarly fitted to the straight and level six furlongs at Good wood:— Polynesia, Catch ' em alive, Weatherspy, Soapstone, Humphrey, Birdhill, Keane, Muezzin, Almack, and the best of Mr Ten Broeck's. For choice, we prefer Humphrey, Almack, and Birdhill. On the second day there is certain to be a strong muster of two year olds for the Findon Stakes, although three- tilths of the sixty- seven engaged have been run through; all the following having figured in public:— Nemo, Wild Rake, War Dance, Paris, Ely, Knight of Snowdon, colt by Gemma di Vergy out of Nourmahal, Cosette, Practitioner ( 51b extra), Ivanhoe, Master Richard, Elms- dale, Lifebuoy, The Doctor ( 31b extra). The Sea Boy, Dilston, Greville, Weatherglass, Scottish Chief ( 51b extra), filly by Wild Dayrell out of Phemy, Roseneath, Linda, Dispute, colt by Ted- dington out of Mary Copp, colt by Newminster out of Plush, Foreteller, Sheridan, Tomato ( 31b extra), Molly Carew ( 51b extra), Pegasus, Narbonne, Garde a vous ( beaten in France), Aunt Judy ( 31b extra), Brother Jonathan, Vabalathus, Gol- dylocks, Polonaise, Pixie, Cambuscan ( 51b extra), Leila, and the colt by Glenmasson out of Whimsical. War Dance, Paris, and Ely have recently totally belied the character borne by them before they came out; but there is every excuse for Paris in his stable companion having won when he ran at Abingdon, and we have hopes of him yet. The Knight of Snowdon, Practitioner, Ivanhoe, Master Richard, The Doctor, The Sea Boy, the Phemy filly, Linda, Dispute, the Mary Copp colt, Pegasus, Aunt Judy, VaDalathus, Polynesia, and the W himsical colt have only mode- rate forms to boast of at present, and The Knight's performance in the Lavant must prove whether he has a chance of getting nearer to Scottish Chief than he did at Ascot. The latter, Tomato, Molly Carew, and Cambuscan are the best performers, for Gol- dylocks only ran well once, when she " split" Light and Tomato at Ascot, and her doings, both before and subsequent to this, were not in keeping with such a creditable exhibition. Cambuscan we do not expect to see run, and as Molly Carew met with a serious accident at Winchester, Tomato and Scottish Chief will have only to look after the dark lot and the best that the struggle for the Lavant may bring to light, those engaged in the two races consisting of, in addition to Cambuscan, Knight of Snowdon, and Narbonne, the dark Audacieuse, Royal Navarre, and Beatrix. Besides the last- named trio, the following have never shown in public:— Lord Ailesbury's King Bango, a colt by King Tom out of Ellen Middleton ; Mr C. Alexander's Messman, a colt by Rata- plan out of Selina, and the filly by Jordan out of Orange Blos- som ; Lord Annesley's filly by Stockwell out of Irish Queen ; Mr Valentine's Hollyfox, a colt by Voltigeur out of Flax; Count Batthyany's Lounger, a colt by Saunterer out of Fandango; the Duke of Beaufort's Promenade, a filly by Saunterer out of Kettle- drum's dam, and Parure, a filly by Fandango out of The Gem ; Mr Bowes's Baragah, a colt by Stock well out of Mowerina ; Lord Stamford's Brindisi, a colt by Rataplan out of Mistletoe, and Mahometan, a colt by Jordan out of Blondelle; Mr W. G. Cra- ven's colt by Colsterdale out of Wynnstay's dam ; Mr H. Hill's Copenhagen, a colt by Newminster out of Birdhill's dam ; Mr Merry's filly by Lambourn out of Burlesque; Baron Nivi& re's Ssm- champ, a colt by The Prime Warden or Womersley out of Susan- nah ; Lord Rendlesham's Jack Frost, a colt by Weatherbit out of Pauline ; Mr J. H. C. Wyndham's Victoria Cross, a colt by Loup- garou out of the Medal; Mr H. Savile's colt, by Skirmisher out of Mantilla; Mr J. Scott's Tooi Tooi, a filly by Stockwell out of Cypriana ; Lord Strathmore's Spruce, a colt by Gemma di Vergy out of Allspice ; Mr R. Sutton's Skeffington ( in the Ham Stakes); Col Towneley's Ayacucho, a colt by Orlando out of Ayacanora ; and Lord Westmoreland's Geelong, a filly by West Australian out of Henrietta. One or two of these have been spoken of in connec- tion with the Derby, but with such a lot against them as Tomato, Master Richard, Scottish Chief, and one or two the run- ning for the Lavant is sure to speak well of, we dare not look for the winner from any other body, and Tomato should be the first to greet the judge if she can beat the French representative, Sonchamp having a great reputation. In the Drawing Room Stakes the 101b penalised Macaroni is opposed by the Old Orange Girl, Soapstone, Jarnicoton, Escape, Gunner, and Onesander ( 51b extra), and as he gave the latter more than a 51b beating in the Derby, we do not see what is to prevent his carrying the 9st 31b home in triumph, for Lord Stam- ford's horse can beat all the others, the best of which is Escape. The meeting of Onesander and Macaroni, if it takes place, will be quite an event, as it will display the relative merits of the Derby and Oaks winners, Queen Bertha having been beaten by Onesander at Ascot. There is a wretched lot in the Goodwood Derby, Jarnicoton being the best we can discover : and there is nothing so good as Gold Dust in the 300 sova Sweepstakes for three year old fillies, she having done one good thing this season, while Cassidia has cut up a rank jade. The Goodwood Stakes has been one of the tamest handicaps of the whole season, so far as betting is concerned, the many " safe ones" that were performed upon last year doubtless de- terring the public from meddling to any great extent, and just now there are only feur animals at all firm in the market— viz, Anfield, Bellman, Blondin, and Zapateado. Knuts- ford has been a great favourite, but has gone wrong, although his starting is probable; and Evenhand is now numbered with the knocked out division, for some reason that no one seems able to explain. There is, however, nothing amiss with Hartington, Loiterer, Grimston, Balham, Magnum Bonum, the Wasp gelding, Brian Boru, Canzonette, and Warhorse, except that the support conceded to them has been of such a lukewarm character that it is palpable their parties are anything but sweet; and it would be ridiculous, under present circumstances, to look beyond the four favourites for the winner, unless a demonstration should be made in favour of the Wasp gelding, when he would have to be kept on the winning side. We analysed the handicap some weeks back, and advocated the pretensions of Anfleld, Bellman, Blon- din, and Zapateado, more particularly the three first named ; and having nothing to do now but choose between them, we cannot help " following the money" and choosing ANFIELD for our ally, his trial being almost good enough to win a Derby. The Goodwood Cup is the only event of any great importance that will be on Thursday's card; and, small as will be the field, it promises a vast amount of interest, the following being a list of the probable competitors:— age st lb | Atherstone 5... 9 7 Bellman 5... 9 7 Buckstone 4... 9 7 Fairwater 5... 9 3 age st lb Carnival ( doubtful). 3... 7 7 La Toucques 3... 7 3 Isoline 3... 7 3 Mazagan a... 5 13 easily to run up to his " trial'' with Zetland, and if he cannot beat Anfield at 281b it will be useless attempting to cope with fair three year olds like Isoline and La Toucques at 321b. Isoline has not gained in popularity since Mr Nay lor purchased her, and even with Carnival almost out of the market she is at a longer price than was taken about her when she was in Mr Parr's hands. Her performances will not justify this, as she beat Caller Ou almost in a canter at Manchester, and stands as good a chance as Mr I'Anson's mare would possess were she in the race at 9st 31b— Fairwater's weight. Still the three year olds are this year so moderate that we are afraid to trust either Isoline or La Toucques, after the latter's defeat by The Ranger at Paris, as, if she can win the Goodwood Cup, Ran- ger must be supposed to have done so with 8st on his back. Fair- water looks capable of beating al! the juveniles if we may follow her best performances, one of which— the third to Bedouin ( 6st 71b) for the Newmarket Handicap with 9st 31b— would quite upset her running at Chester, as, even allowing Bedouin gave her a 101b beating, and that the latter on the Metropolitan running is within 71b of Haddington, she will appear the equal of Asteroid at even weights when we look at the close contest between Haddington and Asteroid for the Chester Cup at 201b. And yet, in the Steward's Cup at Chester, won by Buck- stone, Asteroid'gaveFairwater 121b, and beat her several lengths for second place. She is, consequently, one of the '' in- and- out" runners, but not more so than Atherstone ; and as Buckstone is not always to be depended upon, while Bellman is about his equal if Zetland has only improved in an equal ratio, it is a very near thing be- tween the four old horses in the race, at their respective weights. With a first- class three year old in the field like Carnival, they would all have to succumb; but he has not done well since his defeat of Sea King at Newmarket, and when they offer 100 to 1 against the " pure bred barb" Mazagan, we are compelled to look for the winner among the four heavy weights. Of these BUCK- STONE is backed for so much money that we are bound to over- look all his failures, as if he cannot win at Goodwood there is no cup race he is good enough to contend for; and the next best to him may be discovered in Fairwater. The Racing Stakes Lord Stamford will hardly allow to pass him, having to pay three out of the five nominations, and Ar- magnac is quite good enough to beat the Wasp gelding. In a Fifty Sovs Sweepstakes, h ft, there are Carnival, Valentine, and Le Marechal to make an interesting race, and unless Carnival is in tip- top fettle, it will be difficult to choose between them. Doubting this, however, we fall back upon Valentine, who was second best to Macaroni when she and Le Marshal met the Derby winner in the Craven week. The Three Year Old Bentinck Memorial Stakes The Ranger could easily pick up if the prize were tempting enough, but as he is doubtless reserved for his more important engagements, Mr Bowes will stand a fair chance of following up his last year's suc- cess in this same event with Old Orange Girl. But the Four Year Old Memorial Mr Savile is certain not to despise, there being nothing to prevent the triumph of Buckenham over the Queen's Plate course. The Two Year Old Memorial will bring to- gether a larger field than either of the others, if previous running does not entirely spoil it, which is hardly likely, when Lady Hylda, Rigolboche, and several others have no prior engage- ments. However, the Lavant, Ham, and Findon will throw a strong light upon the question, as they will als- s upon the Mole- comb, wherein Fille de l'Air and Scottish Chief ( each 51b extra) are the best- looking at present. In the Sussex Stakes, the re- maining two year old event for the third day, La Belle Feronniere has three " dark" opponents, and it is a question whether either will oppose her. On Friday the Nassau Btakes, for three year old fillies, will tempt all those that are more than moderate, being worth £ 800; and Valentine, Fantail, Amelia, and perhaps Cassidia, ought all to show. Valentine's form is the best if she has retained it, which her race on Thursday will afford the best proof of, and she must be quite up to the mark to beat Fantail over the mile. The One Hundred Sovs Sweepstakes over the Cup Course is a walk over for Buckstone; but whether Gipsy Girl is good enough for the March Stakes, the doings on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday will best display, and they will also say a great deal concerning the Nursery and Chesterfield Cup Handicaps, although these are too important to be passed over. The Chesterfield Cup, Craven Course, has a host handicapped, who are also in the Stewards' Cup, and we have the greatest respect for one of them, viz, Summer- side, unless the latter gives place to one of her stable companions, in the event of which our affections will have to be transferred. Bellman, seeing how he is supported for the stakes, has also every chance given him with but 8st lib. In the Nursery Stakes, one mile, we notice Mr Ten Broeck's Paris and Idler among the turned- loose lot, and if we are not greatly mistaken in their capabilities, it will take a first- rater to beat the best of the pair. THE GOODWOOD CUP- A RETROSPECT. The sun has shone on Goodwood Park for thirty years and three Since Fortune smiled a second time on game old Fleur de- lis; Then once again the Sussex prize to bear away she tried, And the regal gold and purple sank before great Priam's stride. Another summer pales away, another field is won, The ringmen's shout proclaims afar, " St Giles, St Giles is done!' And Beiram, ever luckless, bows beneath the Trojan's might, The red and blue of Bretby beats the Burghley blue and white. " The Whale, the Whale !" the fielders cry ; but e'er he gains the The giant flags, Rubini has a trifle still on hand. [ Stand Rubini! had not iron ground and lameness stepped between, Sir Mark and Jem had beat him with their flying Camarine. Glencoe has collared Colwick, and the easy four lengths clear Proclaim the Batson Plenipo the monarch of his year. And now let Clapham raise its voice, let Stockwell ring with cheers, The " stocking man" has won at last, in spite of Ridsdale's jeers. The Clinker blood prevails, and joyous sobs half choke old Brown As Rockingham comes out and cut3 the Pigburn Glaucus down. Next, Brother Bill on Hornsea glads the heart of Brother John, But Elis will regain his fame when once he scents the Don. The gipsy Bamfylde, stopped at last, but close behind the two, Heralds the fluky victory of pluckless, bad Carew. A double triumph yet again, for Erin heads the fray, And speeds the victor on his course with shouts of " Harkaway!'' A Beggarman steps in between, and then, that Scotia's fame May rival the green sister land's, " let Swedish Charles proclaim.'' Hyllus— the oft- defeated— throws at length the lucky main, And Alice Hawthorn still can race, though sadly on the wane. Now Bentinck's colours gain the place that Bentinck's colours should, And Grimston tells the Yorkshiremen the Traverser is good. The conquering Hero claims his place as leader of the field, Though Eryx and his Prince refuse the mastery to yield. Still, though subdued, the tartan shall regain its pride and pomp, Shall hoist the broom and sweep the course with gallant old Van Tromp; The black and white of Derby cleave its way the melee through, And twice shall Canezou deny the Leger race was true. Now Charl on and now Nancy for the final effort bend, The Hetman chesnut's coming, and he'll struggle to the end. Poor poisoned Stilton drops away, his chance was sold and bought, And Kingston wins right cleverly— wins as a racehorse ought; Let Jouvence leave the lot behind, whilst native owners stare, And thank her lucky stars she met with no Virago there. Now Baroncino's feather weight has baffled British skill, And Rogerthorpe has proved his claim to stay and face a hill. Monarque has closed with Riseber, has left the grey behind, Whilst Saunterer belies his name by speeding like the wind. The Promised Land has cantered in, unlucky, butchered horse, And though they swear his wind is touched, not one can reach Sweetsauce; Starke battles gamely to the last the Yankee pot to land, Whilst Tim leaves Zetland standing still with half a stone in hand. A moment's pause, why should it be? Why should I linger still ? Who next shall gain the judge's eye, the niche of glory fill ? Search the list through, discard or keep whate'er my fancy suits I find a pitiful array of cripples, " crocks," and brutes; With two to trust, why Hooton Hall should finish in the front, And Atherstone may bear his banner foremost through the brunt. Still shall my trust belong to those who oft have led the way ; Fairwater runs a good game mare, but BUCKSTONE wins the day! ORANGE BLOSSOM. PROGRAMME OF GOODWOOD RACES.

If we may take a line from Atlierstsne's mile race with Fairwater at Shrews- bury last autumn, when he beat her very easily, the idea that he is superior to Buckstone would be strengthened; but we are bound to believe that Atherstone is better at a mile or mile and a half than at two miles and a half, and hence the difference of price between him and Mr Merry's horse in the market. Be- sides, Buckstone was attacked by his old complaint when he met Atherstone at Epsom, and he ran a very different horse at Ascot, where he beat Hurricane twenty lengths, although she was within three of him at Epsom. A strong argument in Buckstone's fa- vour is that the Goodwood Course is more suited to him than any he has traversed since he ran at Doncaster last Sep- tember, for he never won up a hill until he beat Tim Whiffler at Ascot, and he did not accomplish that feat without making his friends quake, as he allowed Tim to make a dead heat of it after looking like winning easily half way up the hill. Bell- man is to represent Lord St Vincent in place of Zetland, as he is said to be superior to the latter at the Cup weights ( Zetland has 9st); and if so he is a most dangerous outsider, for we have yet to learn Buckstone is more than 71b superior to Zetland when both horses are at concert pitch.

Every prospect exists of the coming Goodwood gathering main- taining the right to its suggestive and time- honoured appellation of " glorious.'' The magnificent summer weather with which we have been this year so unwontedly favoured has only been interrupted by a few days of welcome rain, whereby the turf has gained much in elasticity, and the course rendered in fine con- dition. There now appears to be every chance of a fine week, as far as our fickle and variable climate can be relied on, and should such be the case, there will doubtless be at Goodwood Park an assemblage of rank, fashion, and beauty hitherto unsurpassed, if not unprecedented. A brilliant company of aristocratic visitors will enjoy the ducal hospitality of Goodwood House, the domestic calamities that the year before last caused the total closing of the mansion, and last year the unavoidable absence of the noble host and hostess, having passed away. At Chichester, Bognor, Worthing, and other adjacent places accom- modation is already at a premium, and Brighton likewise, not- withstanding the extra fatigue consequent on the somewhat pro- longed railway journey, will receive a very large share of pa- tronage The list of horses under orders for Goodwood promises well for the different events, and the respective chances of the starters will be found amply analysed elsewhere. The ar- rangements made by the London and South Coast Railway Company are, as u « ual, ample and admirable, and reflect the greatest credit on Mr Blight, the worthy secretary, and on Mr Hawkins, the traffic manager. The first- class transit ticket sys- tem for the fortnight was found last year to answer completely, and the company has most liberally benefited the public by re- ducing the cost from £ 5 to £ 4. For this very moderate sum visitors will be enabled to visit Goodwood, Brighton, and Lewes, journeying to and from town at pleasure. Special trains will be despatched as follows:— From the new station at Kensington at 9: 45 a. m., from Victoria and London Bridge at 10 a. m. and from East Croydon at 10: 20 am., direct to Drayton and Chichester, returning from these places by any train to Brighton, and thence to London by special express train at 7: 45 p. m. On the Stakes and Cup days cheap trains will leave Kensington at 6: 35 a. m., Victoria at 6: 55 a. m., and London Bridge at 7 a. m., calling at Norwood, Croydon, and Reigate, and returning from Chichester at 7: 30 p. m. Further particulars will be found in our advertising columns. The transit tickets above referred to may be obtained at 43, Regent- street, and at the Victoria and London Bridge stations SALE OF BLOOD STOCK, & c, BY MESSRS TATTERSALL ON MONDAY LAST. GS.

There are already several subscribers. For further particulars see advertisement in our front page. We are requested to state that Sea Nymph was struck out of the Portsmouth Plate on the 18th of June, at four p. m. ; and Ather- stone out of the Stewards' Plate ( 5t-;> ckbridge) on the 18th June, at 11: 30 a. m. THE GRAND PRIX DE PARIS, 1;'>" — It will be seen en re- ference to our advertising columns that r. J ruinations for the Grand Prix for 1865 must be sent to the Societe d'Encouragement at or before four p. m. on Saturday. Aug 1. OXFORD RACES — The Oxfordshire Btakes and the Btratton Audley Nursery Handicap close on Tuesday next; and, by an ad- vertisement in our first pa? e, it w ill be seen there are also several stakes to close on the 4th of August, amongst them a new stake ( the Princess of Wales Btakes) of 200 sovs added, for all ages, three quarters of a mile ( straight). The straight course is one of the finest in the kingdom. LEWES RACES.— Several stakes at this meeting close on Tues- day next, the 28th inst. Particulars will be found in our adver- tising columns. A new Plate of 100 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sovs each, for two and three year olds, the winner to be sold, & c, half a mile, has been added to the first day's programme, and will close the night before running. The Welter Cup, which is a chased silver tankard, capable of holding upwards of a gallon, is from the well- known establishment of Mr Whistler, of the Strand. TURF REFORM — The following new rules have been originated by Mr Verrall for the forthcoming Lewes Races, and we beg to draw the attention of the trainers to the fact that, in the event of intending to run theii? horses, it will be necessary to declare the colours over night, or they will be fined to the extent of £ 5, such fines to go to the Bentinck Benevolent Fund:—" All trainers who intend running horses are to declare colours to the Clerk of the Course by eight o'clock in the evening before running, as the Clerk of the Course will place colours to those horses only for which declaration has been made. The trainer of any horse sub- sequently running in colours contrary to those on the card will be fined one sov, and those which run without being coloured will be fined five sovs, whether their colours appear in the Racing Calendar or not. These fines will be strictly enforced, and the proceeds paid over to the Bentinck Benevolent Fund. The Clerk of the Scales shall cause the numbers of the starters for each race to be exhibited on the telegi- aph b: ard a quarter of an hour pre- vious to the time appointed for each race, or as near thereto as possible, and after such numbersare once exhibited no other jockey shall be allowed to weigh on any pretence whatever." At the dog show held at Worcester last week the only hounds entered were those of Colonel Clowes, from the home counties kennel. These, however, were quite good enough to take all the premiums offered, being, in fact, a very handsome sample of the Worcestershire. Mr Hudson, of Pershore, also won a prize for harriers with old Barrister. NOTTINGHAM SUMMER RACES- Stewards: The Marquis of Anglesey, Earl of Stamford, and Viscount St Vincent. Clerk of the Course and Handicapper: Mr Jas Bradfield. Judge: Mr Johnson. Starter: Mr M'George, Jun. Recollections of the capital meeting last year in July left it the more to be regretted that the gathering of the past week was not attended with similar eclat. The deficiency, be it understood, was solely in the racing, for in a neighbourhood like Notting- ham shortcomings seem next to impossible on any other score. For example, the added money, exceeding previous offerings, amounted on this occasion to £ 1,050; and that MrBradfield worked well for his favourite place was abundantly manifest in the unprecedented entries obtained for most of the races. But, as in other localities, plethoric summer, coupled in this instance with the overdrawn conclusion that the principal event was reduced to a match, kept away many animals engaged. The ground, moreover, was sun- cracked and dusty beyond measure, though the latter accompaniment received its quietus soon after the commencement of the sports on Tuesday in thickly- falling rain, coming, however, a day too late as far as benefiting the course was concerned. As it was, a pleasantly opening scene speedily changed to one of the dreariest description, parties blocking up the portico of the Stand for shelter, while those compelled to face the aqueous stranger, got drenched to the skin. Fortunately for those present in " high authority," the partitioning, since the spring, of the lower end of the saloon, with neatly awned balcony in front, was completed just in the nick of time. Other improvements effected since our last visit in- clude the provision of drinking fountains for the public on either side of the entrance to the Stand, and the widening by half- a- dozen yards of the course from the turn to below the mile post at the back side, the whole when finished and turfed, promising an, arena of no mean order. In the Trial, with which the ball opened, The Clown, penalised 91b for the selling exemption, easily dis- posed of his three opponents. The Sherwood Handicap, with two runners, the added 40 being withheld in consequence, ought likewise to have been credited to Mr Barber, whose big- striding Coronet, with 6 to 4 on him, had the race in hand from the mo- ment it began, but holding Globule too cheap, the latter, thanks to the determined riding of Mr Thompson, upset the odds by a short head on the post, amidst cheers and roars of laugh- ter. The Robin Hood Stakes were next landed in a canter by the Marquis of Hastings's good- looking Garotter, after which the Nottinghamshire Handicap stood for decision, with twenty- one horses coloured on the card, but bringing out the miserable field of five enly. Of these Dulcibella and Brighton carried a heap of money, Blithfield, whose restiveness at Aintree led to his " preli- minary" being dispensed with to- day, also receiving support at 3 to 1, while as much as 100 to 8 each might have been had about Pilot and Erin go Bragh. Upon the latter, therefore, depended the bet of four monkeys to one taken last week by Mr Crook about his lot winning, the others engaged being absent through lameness and other causes. Having, consequently, only " one string" left to his bow, andregarding that, too, asgoodas " gone," Mr C. made liberal offers to have the wager quashed, which, how- ever, were refused to the last. Hence the greater the surprise when Brighton dropping away at the lower turn, and Lord Stam- ford's mare striking her colours at the distance, the winner after all turned up in Erin go Bragh !— though Blithfield, who ought to have won, but threw a plate, wa3 first in a stride or two after passing the chair. Half a dozen faced the starter for the Brad- gate Handicap, which resulted in the success of Tippler, who, though running anything but straight throughout the contest, just managed to get home a head in advance of Neophyte, who beat Bathilde by half a length. In the Stand Plate an immense " pot" on Little Lady was bowled over by Flexmore, who cut the mare down in the commonest of canters. On Wednesday rain again fell during the sport, which was considerably curtailed by a couple of walks- over, and by the non- filling of the Portland Plate and a Selling Handi- cap. At one period it was also thought nothing would oppose Flexmore in the Forest Plate, but eventually four runners were telegraphed, and 5 to 1 was betted on the Staunton horse, who, however, was collared at the finish by Coronet, making no mistake this time, and defeated by a head. The largest field of the meeting next stripped for the Nursery, for which La Belle Feronniere opened the favourite, but wa3 supplanted at last by Dawdle, neither, however, showing prominently in the race, while Inverness, in front throughout, won easily by a length. Of the remainder of the racing it only calls for notice that Bathilde was freely backed for the Plate, pre- sented by and bearing the name of her noble owner; but being in trouble at a mile, success at length fell to the lot ® f the Lord of Enville with Revolver. Betting on the future in the course of the proceedings may be returned as follows:— Goodwood Stakes: 5 to 2 agst Anfield ( off), 6 to 1 agst Bellman ( tk), 10 to 1 agst Zapateado ( tk), and 25 to 1 agst Magnum Bonum ( tk). Goodwood Cup : 85 to 40 agst Buckstone, and 4 to 1 agst La Toucques, both taken. TUESDAY, JULY 21.— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 40 added, for two year olds and upwards ; the winner to be sold for 600 sovs, if entered not to be sold 91b extra; one mile; 8 subs.

The Sabra colt and Redcap ran in front to the straight, when they were joined by the favourite, who deprived the latter of the lead outside the distance, and won easily by half a length ; four lengths between the second and third. The SHERWOOD HANDICAP of 5 sovs each ; winners extra; gen tlemen riders ; professionals 61b extra ; one mile and a quarter; 12 subs. Mr G. S. Thompson's Globule, by ' The Cure, 4 yrs, Dst 91b.. Owner 1 Mr Barber's Coronet 6 yrs, lOst 101b ( inc 61b extra) .. Palmer 2 Betting : 6 to 4 on Coronet. The non- favourite cut out the work three or four lengths in advance to the bottom, whence the other crept up and became level at the half distance. In a few strides Coronet obtained a little the best of it, but by perseverance Mr Thompson again reached his opponent, and won in the last stride by a shert head. The ROBIN HOOD STAKES of 10 sovs each, with 50 added, for two year olds ; colts Sst 101b, fillies 8st 61b ; the second saved his stake ; winners extra; T. Y.

Noble 0 Betting: 5 to 2 on Garotter, and 6 to 1 agst any other ( offered). The three placed were in front throughout, the favourite making all the running, and winning in acanier by three lengths, Edward the Confessor saving his stake by the same; Old Fuller a bad fourth; Macbeth last all the way. The NOTTINGHAMSHIRE HANDICAP of 20 sovs each, li ft, and 5 if declared, with 20o added; the second received 50 sovs out of the stakes, and the third saved his stake ; winners extra ; one mile and three quarters; 67 subs, 44 of whom declared. J Mr W. Hart's Erin go Bragh, by Sprig of Shil- lelagh, 3 yrs, 5st 111b J. Grimshaw 1 Mr T. Hunt's Blithneld, 3 yrs, 5st 111b Loates 2 Lord Stamford's Dulcibella, 6 yrs, 7st 91b A. Edwards 3 Mr J. Jackson's Pilot, 4 yrs, 6st 101b Dixon 4 Mr Thomas's Brighton, 4 yrs, 7st 91b J. Reeves 5 Betting: 6 to 4 agst. Dulcibella, 2 to 1 agst Brighton, and 3 to I agst Blitlifield, who made play with Brighton at iiis girths for the first two hundred yards, when the latter fell back, and his place was taken by Dulcibella, at whose side, on passing the Stand, was Pilot, followed by Brighton. In this order they ran to the back of the course, where Erin go Bragh, three or four lengths last at starting, closed with his horses, of whom, at the T. Y. C. post, Brighton improved his position, and breasted the hill with Blithfield, who, however, re showed in advance upon the retire- ment of the former at the cutting. Pilot then becoming second ran in close company with the Hednesford colt ( next the rails) round the Mansfield turn, but were no sooner on the straight than Dulcibella took up the running in the centre of the track, waited on by Erin go Bragh to the distance, where the mare was beaten. Erin go Bragh, thus left in command, looked like coming in alone, until Blithfield, who had thrown a plate at the lower bend, came again, full of " go," but never got up, and was defeated by half a length, Dulcibella finishing thrice as far from the second ; Pilot a bad fourth. The BRADGATE HANDICAP of 7 sovs each, 3 ft, with 100 added, for three year olds and upwards; winners extra; one mile ; 27 subs. Marquis of Hastings's Tippler, by Tumbler, 3 yrs, ( ist61b Deacon I Mr Dawson's Neophyte, aged, 7st 101b A. Edwards 2 Lord Chesterfield's Bathilde, 5 yrs, 7st 81b Challoner 3 Mr J.

Martin's Key of the Gate, 6 yrs, 6st Loates 6 Betting: 7 to 4 agst Tippler, 2 to 1 agst Bathilde, 4 to 1 agst Suburban, and 20 to 1 agst Neophyte. After a number of failures, in which the favourite thrice broke away, Suburban jumped off with the lead, followed by Bathilde, and the others in a cluster at her heels, save Tippler, wide by himself on the right. They ran thus to the straight, where Key of the Gate dropped astern, while at about a distance and a halt from home Lady Louisa took the command. She, however, was soon in trouble and beat a retreat simultaneously with Count Batthyany's horse, leaving Neophyte and Bathilde in advance to the Stand, where the favourite collared the pair and won by a head; the third beaten half a length, with an advantage of three lengths over the fourth; the others not near. The STAND PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs, for all ages; winners 51b extra ; half a mile, straight. Mr T. Wadlow's Flexmore, by Fandango, 4 yrs, 7st 81b Challoner 1 Lord Stamford's Little Lady, 3yrs, Sst 121b A. Edwards 2 % Mr Saxon's Killarney, 3 yrs, 6at J.

At the fourth attempt Flexmore came away, soon followed by the favourite, who, however, never reached him, and was defeated in a canter by two lengths; same between second and third. The SHORT ( Selling) STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 30 added, for two year olds and upwards; half a mile; 4 subs. Mr W. Hart's Dublin, by Daniel O'Rourke, 2 yrs, 6st 31b ( 20 sovs) J.

A long " wait" in drenching rain commenced with a false start, in which Dublin and Ali Pasha ran the course through. Then, in returning to the post, Ali | boite- 1, jumped the rails, and threw his rider. He was re- ; mounted, but started in the contrary direction when the flag fell, i Dublin, who was never headed, winning by two leDgths, and was , sold to Mr Parkinson for 27 guineas.

The fa- vourite, first oft', was immediately passed by Key of the Gate, who showed slightly in advance to* the distance, after which Flex- more assumed the command to the Stand, where Coronet made his effort, and upset the odds in the last three strides by a head, the light weight finishing two lengths from the pair, Fig being last throughout.

The latter and In- verness were foremost in eight or ten failures preceding the start, BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JULY 26, 1863. of which Mr Saxon's Ally and Garotter together on the extreme light obtained a trifling advantage when at last the signal was given. They were succeeded by Vandervelde, Nemo, and the fa- vourite, in the middle of the course, La Belle F&' onniere, mys- tery, and Hart- leap being next to them, while Prescription, who got badly off, whipped in to the left of the lot. Approaching the distance, Inverness, retaining from the first a shade the best of it, took a clear lead of the Marquis of Hastings's colt, and won easily by a length. Count Lagrange's filly and Mystery, passing Van- dervelde ( who stopped half way up), finished respectively third and fourth, the former three lengths from the second, Fair Sophia being fifth, Count Batthyany's colt sixth, the favourite seventh, Hart- leap eighth, Macbeth ninth, Nemo tenth, Prescription last.

Emerging from the cutting, Revolver assumed the command, directly after which Charles Fox beat a retreat, leaving Pilot and the favourite in attendance on Lord Stamford's horse. At the half distance Bathilde also was in difficulties, and her place taken by Cadeau, but Revolver holding his own to the end, won in a canter by a length; thrice that interval dividing second and third, and nearly as far the third and fourth.

Starter: Mr T. Marshall. Clerk of the Course: Mr H. Goater. TUESDAY, JULY 21.— The extension of the Stockbridge Meet- ing over two days this year, as a matter of course, necessitated the removal of the Winchester fixture into another week, and it was therefore arranged that it should immediately precede that of Southampton, and thus secure a second series of " Hampshire meetings." So far as Winchester is concerned, the movement was doubtless a judicious one, although the week preceding the all- important gathering at Goodwood is not, for obvious reasons, the most desirable one. Clerks of Courses, however, cannot usually" pick and choose'' their time, and as a rule are fain to fall back upon anything like an " open week.'' The hardness of the ground of late has knocked up not a few equine competitors, and to this, coupled with the fact of many being reserved for more important engagements, maybe attributed the somewhat scanty fields that figured this week in Hampshire. The weather, too, as far as the Winchester Meeting was concerned, was unpropitious, for the rain— due about a week back on the festival of St Swithin— came down with such steady persistency and earnest- ness, as to keep away many intending visitors, and materially thin the ranks of " general company." Yet with all drawbacks the meeting was a success, and the Ring well patronised. An excellent alteration has been effected since last year by the removal of the Stand and enclosure about a quarter of a mile further on to the top of the hill, instead of being stuck into the hollow as hereto- fore. The old Stand— as Charles Dickens graphically expresses it— commanded an extensive view of nothing," as far as the racing was concerned, whereas now the entire route as nearly as pos- sible is discernible. The Stand, however, we must note, is at present only a temporary one, and anything but waterproof, but it is in contemplation to erect one on the same principle as Chelmsford, and we doubt not that it will prove an equally good speculation. Anyhow, a new and permanent Stand will be erected on the site of the wooden structure that did duty this week. It was difficult to make out from the card what sort of a day's sport visitors were to expect, as no fewer than three and forty were coloured for the Handicap Plate ( half a mile), eighteen for the Hampshire Stakes, and forty- three for the Grange Park Stakes ; while, as it ultimately turned out, of the seven starters for the last- named event, two were " uncoloured.'' The lot for the first item were resolved into a dozen runners, of whom Nathalie and Confi- dence were about equal favourites. The race was some time delayed by the capers of Antipodes and Miss Herbert at the post; but the former at length got the best of a very level start. Before a couple of hundred yards had been traversed, however, Miss Julia, who has not hitherto been very fortunate this season, " chopped" the field, and the fancied Nathalie, unable to overhaul her, was beaten by a neck. The result was rather unexpected, for so little was the old mare fancied after her recent displays, that she receded from " 5 to 1 to 10 to 1 before the flag fell. Antipodes, who ran into a situation," was in most esteem for the next race, the City Members' Plate, which proved a run away affair for Pony, who entered for 30 sovs, was bought in for 45gs. Just a third of the coloured 18 were signalled to start for the Hampshire Stakes, and Bally Edniond being reserved for the Queen's Plate, Vinegar Hill was installed the reigning favourite, and right easily did he dis- pose of the quintette that composed the opposition, of whom the well- known Gardener, sold some time ago " to go to China," but who has not gone to China, was one. Verbena ( by Rataplan) opened first favourite for the Railway Plate, but the owner of Corset, under the impression that the others, including the then favourite, were a very moderate lot, backed his filly freely enough to elevate her into that position ; but she cut up indifferently, and the original selection proved the correct one, for Verbena came through, and won by three lengths, a feat that the owner of Corset avenged by purchasing the winner for 85 guineas, 55 over the entered price. Although only seven went to the post for the Grange Park Stakes, including Molly Carew, Hengist, Eastminster, the heavily engaged and " dark' Ely, The Hare, the well known Aunt Judy, and the colt by Gemma di Vergy out of Nourmahal, much interest was excited by the meeting of the former two. As a matter of course Molly was the best favourite, although Lord Portsmouth's colt had many friends among those who saw him so effectually climb the hill at Stockbridge. Eastminster was also invested on, and backed for next year's Derby, before the race, at 2,000 to 60 as well; but Ely, who had been for some time amiss previously to Stockbridge, had " no price." The result was ex- actly in accordance with the betting, for the backed ones finished in the order invested on; Mo 113' Carew— shut out by Aunt Judy to the top of the hill, perhaps fortunately, for she came just at the right time— beating Hengist by a clever half length. Odds were laid on Bally Edmorid for Her Majesty's Guineas, but the horse who has done some amount of similar work this season over hard ground appeared somewhat stale, and Vinegar Hill managed to defeat him by half a length; a second triumph to- day for the white jacket and black belt. The rain checked any attempt at betting on any events beyond the current ones of the day, and we have nothing to record in connection with the Goodwood Stakes and Cup. Scarcely had the town of Winchester, which is some distance from the course, been reached— in fact, before many had reached it— than a rumour was rife that Molly Carew had met with a serious accident on the road, and the report proved unfortunately correct, as will be seen by the following details. The filly had proceeded along the road to within a short distance of the turn- pike, about a couple of miles from the city, when the drag of Captain Powlett, the popular master of the Hambledon Hunt, came up. At this time two of Drewitt's horses were on one side of the road, and Molly Carew on the opposite side, and on nearing them Captain Powlett instantly slackened pace, so as to pass with- out alarming the thorough breds. The slackening of pace, how- ever, caused the leaders bar to rattle, which alarmed Molly Carew, who was being led, and the mare started round, upon which the boy commenced pulling at her with the leading rein. The more the boy pulled, however, the more the filly ran back, until at length she unluckily backed violently against the coach, the splinter bar of which catching her, cut her thigh badly. Had the inare been on the same side of the road as Drewitt's horses, or had she not had a leading rein on, which gagged her every time the boy pulled, the accident could scarcely have occurred. As it was, there was barely room for the drag to pass between two lots of horses without risk of serious injury. It was subsequently discovered that the mare's near hind leg was injured severely, the thigh being cut through the muscles, and the wound some five or six inches across. There is no chance of her running again this year at all events; and the Findon Stakes at Good wood next week, which looked a good thing for her, will, therefore, be contested without her. We may add that she was immediately placed under the skilful supervision of Mr Moon, and has been removed to her old training quarters.

After two or three failures, caused by the restive- ness of Miss Herbert and Antipodes, they got away on very level terms, Antipodes, if anything, having slightly the best of it for a short distance, when Miss Julia obtained the lead, closely attended by Duke of Cambridge, Confidence, Antipodes, and Jfereus nearly abreast to the half distance, where Nathalie came with a rush into second place, but the old mare retained her lead to the end, and won very cleverly by a neck ; Antipodes was beaten a length from the second ; Nereus was fourth, Confidence fifth, and Duke of Cambridge sixth ; Walloon and My Mary headed the others ; Heart of Oak whipping in. The CITY MEMBERS' PLATE of 50 sovs, for three year olds and upwards; optional selling weights, & c; three- quarters of a mile. Mr Y.

Pony made play, followed for about two hundred yards by Antipodes; the latter, however, soon fell into the rear, and Little Dick went on in the wake of Pony, who won easily by five lengths, three lengths separating the second and third, Pellucid beating Antipodes for third place by a head. The w>, c".' er was bought in for 45gs. TW'HAMPSHIRE STAKES ( Handicap) of 10 sovs each, h ft, only 3 if declared, with 50 added; the second saved his stake; winners extra; two miles and a distance ; 57 subs, 38 of whom pay 3 sovs each.

Grimshaw 0 Betting : 6 to 4 agst Vinegar Hill, and 5 to 2 agst Innellan. They ran at a slow pace past the Stand, Innellan and Earl of Surrey lying in front, followed by Vinegar Hill, Necklace going on fourth, the other two close together just clear of the latter. Before reaching the turn, however, Vinegar Hill went to the front, and on entering the far side increased his lead, the Earl of Surrey being his immediate attendant. Thus they ran to the last turn, where Necklace took second place, but at the distance gave way to Innellan. No further change worth noting occurred, and Vinegar Hill ran home an easy winner by ten lengths; the others, of whom Necklace was third, pulled up on the post. 3? heRAILWAY PLATE of 40 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, for two year olds and upwards ; optional selling weights, & c ; three quarters of a mile; 5 subs.

Auut Judy got awav slightly in advance of Ely, followed by Eastminster and Hengist, the latter lying to the extreme right. At the top of the hill Aunt Judy gave way, leaving Hengist and Eastminster in advance, but in the next few strides Molly Carew— who had been shut in by Aunt July— passed Eastminster, and having Lord Ports- mouth's colt safe at the half distance, won very cleverly by half a length; Eastminster was a bad third; a head between third and fourth; The Hare was fifth, Aunt Judy sixth, and the Gemma di Vergy colt last. The QUEEN'S PLATE of lOOgs; three year olds 8st 31b, four 9st 71b> five 9st 121b, six and aged 9st 131b ; two miles. Lord Portsmouth's Vinegar Hill, by Kingstown, 5 vrs, 9st 12ib J. Goater 1 Mr S.

East's Curie, 3 yrs, 8st 81b Peppier 3 Betting: 6 to 4 on Bally Edmond, and 7 to 4 agst Vinegar Hill Vinegar Hill cut out the work, Curie lying slightly in advance of the favourite for about a mile, when the latter went up to Lord Portsmouth's horse, and on descending the hill on the far side deprived him of the lead. Thence Bally Edmorid retained the advantage to within the distance, where he was collared by Vinegar Hill, who headed him at the enclosure and won very cleverly by half a length; Curie beaten off. SOUTHAMPTON RACES. Stewards: The Earl of Coventry and T. W. Fleming, Esq. Judge: Mr J. F. Clark. Starter: Mr T. Marshall. Clerk of the Course : Mr J. D. Barford. Changing the venue from the cathedral city of Winchester to the salubrious and flourishing port of Southampton, the sport in Hampshire was resumed on Wednesday under much more favour- able auspices with regard to the weather ; for although rain fell very heavily during a portion of the morning, the afternoon was delightfully fine, and the attendance, considering the threatening appearance of the early day, very good. There was, however, it must be confessed, an absence of many of the usual influential habitues of the summer meetings, and the remarks applied to Winchester with respect to small fields are, it is needless to add, equally applicable to Southampton. Considering the compara- tively short time these races have been revived and the difficulties to be surmounted much has been done, but it is certainly advisa- ble to lessen the selling items in the programme, as too much of this kind of thing is scarcely calculated to elevate the sport or im- prove the meeting; and even as far as present profit is concerned, although of the six races on the first day a moiety were sell- ing or claiming ones, the amount netted by the fund was inconsi- derable. One or two questionable proceedings also took place on the opening day anything but creditable to those concerned therein, and had Admiral Rous been present he would doubt- less have " made a note of it." For these matters, however, the committee or promoters of the meeting are in no wise responsible. Of the three entries for the Trial Stakes, two- Curie and '. Pony— were both in one stable, their opponent being Weasel. As much as 5 to 1 was betted on the first named, and Pony was " nibbled at," but as much as 10 to 1 was after- wards offered bar one. To the consternation, however, of the layers of odds, Pony came through and bowled over Curie by half a length. Those who had so eagerly laid odds of course could not make it out, imagining, as they did, that it was " all right" for Curie. However, there was yet a get out, for it was suddenly discovered that Pony had carried 21b overweight without duly declaring the same, and so Curie after all brought off the odds! This unpropitious opening was followed by the Stand Plate, which brought out four runners, of whom Innellan was slightly a better favourite than the Grey Hen colt. The for- mer, however, betrayed symptoms of being far more amorously than racingly inclined, and cutting it at the top of the hill after running very contrary, the Grey Hen colt stalled off The Idea by half a length, and was immediately afterwards complimented with the name of Gamecock. Although carrying the top weight of the nine starters, Aunt J udy was strongly fancied for the Nur- sery Plate, but the hill choked her off, and the issue was left to 8tainley and Corsican, the former winning by a length, although the latter finished such an easy second as to lead to the conclusion that she may yet, by the grace of the handicapper, run much more forward one of these fine days. Pony was backed in earnest for the South Western Selling Stakes, while The Idea, opening at 5 to 2, went away to 10 to 1 ( offered), and Pony won easily enough from Merrimac, The Idea finishing two lengt. hsfrom the latter. The " performers,'' onridingback to weigh, got a " reception"— not exactly, however, of the kind awarded^ to Stella Colas as Juliet in the balcony scene— and ironical offers were made in the Ring to lay 2 to 1 that there was no overweight this time. The Biennial Stakes went off in a walk over for Lord Palmerston's Baldwin, who looks likely enough to make a useful four year old. On the strength of running a good second to Wan- gle Eye last week at Abingdon, Sensation, with Fordham up, was backed at 6 to 4 for the Maiden Two Year Old Plate, but, like others during the day, was disposed of after climbing the hill, and William Day's Ivanhoe pulled through easily, and was claimed for the entered 50 by Mr Hodgman. Last year we were called upon to record the feat performed by Sam Rogers, for he had to go round a cow and a man whilst riding Innellan, and eventually won ; and to- day a cow again got into the course while the Nursery Plate was being run, and it is fortunate no mishap occurred thereby, for one or two of the horses were nearly over her before they could be pulled round. Owing to the expected decision of the Tomato case— which, from the manner in which it " drags its slow length along,'' might as well be in Chancery at once— the Stand and Enclosure were more scantily occupied on Thursday than on the previous day, many of the bookmakers, and nearly all the gentlemen, hav- ing left for London. Outside, however, the muster quite equalled that of Wednesday, and the weather being again delightful, the occupants of the numerous carriages, and the crowds 011 the course, seemed thoroughly to enjoy the holiday. The appearance of the card gave promise of superior sport, which the result verified, the fields being numerically stronger than those of the day preceding. Although thelnnkeepers' Platelooked the certainty it subsequently proved for Miss Julia, odds were obtainable against her to the last; Stainley, on the strength of her previous day's victory, being very much fancied at 3 to 1. The old mare, however, maintained her reputation as a half mile " flyer," the much- dreaded hill seeming rather to serve her than otherwise, as she walked away from the seven opposed to her, and won in a walk. The Town Stakes proved an equally good thing for the backers of Curie and for the fund. In the betting at first there was but little between the mareand Pony, the latter, however, being, in spite of his running on Thursday, the worse favourite, and ulti- mately 6 to 4 was laid against him, and a shade of odds laid on Curie. The latter had no difficulty in cutting down her stable companion, and was afterwards bought in for 175gs, thus realis- ing the respectable sum of 135gs for the fund. Six of the ten left in for the great event— the South Hampshire Stakes— went to the post, of which Joco, owing to the lenient treatment of the handicapper, was made the favourite at 2 to 1, Spencer, however, being very much fancied at 5 to 2 ; Flirtation was the only other invested on. The light weight, although headed once by Flirtation, was always prominently in the race, and after the semblance of a contest with Spencer within the distance won easily by a length. The Stewards' Plate was another " claiming" race, of which, as already remarked, there was during the meeting a somewhat un- due preponderance. The favourite, The Doe, ran in front all the way, and was claimed subsequently for Mr G. Solomons. This was the third " win" in succession scored by little " Jimmy'' Grimshaw, which, together with his Nottingham successes, altogether made a very good week's work. Vine- gar Hill, when " his foot is on his native heath," would ap- pear to be invincible, a3 with odds on him he won the Welter Handicap, beating Tonio very easily, old Optimist running last. The final event for the day, the Scurry Handicap, brought out all the lot coloured on the card, and the betting on this, as on many other events during the meeting, might well have puz- zled many a wiser pate than that of my Lord Dundreary. The top weight, Quicksand, was backed against the field, Curie being at first the second favourite at not more than 3 to 1. Afterwards, however, the odds against Mr East's mare " expanded" in the most wonderful manner, all sorts of prices being laid, and as much as 8 or 10 to 1 were obtainable at last. The race resulted in the finest struggle of the meeting, Mr Clark being only enabled to divide the winner from the favourite by the shortest of heads. Absolutely nothing was doing on future events during the meet- ing, which, under the able superintendence of Mr Barford, was brought to a successful conclusion. WEDNESDAY, JULY 22.— The TRIAL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 40 added, for three year olds and upwards ; optional selling allowances, & e; once round ( about a mile and a half); 3 subs. Mr T. East's Curie, by The Cure, 3 yrs, 6st61b ( 50 sovs) S. Adams 1 Mr W. Shrimpton's Weasel, 6 yrs, 7st 131b ( 50) Humpage 2 Mr Y. King's Pony, 3 yrs, 6st 61b ( 50) Peppier dis Betting: 4 to 1 on Curie. Pony made the running, followed by Curie and the Weasel, close together. In the dip the latter headed Curie, but dropped away in a few strides, and Pony, who was never headed, won by half a length ; a bad third. On re- turning to scale Pony was objected to on the ground that he had carried 21b overweight without having declared the same, and the race was given to Curie. The STAND PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs, added to a Sweep stakes of 5 sovs ( 2 ft to the fund); winners extra; T. Y. C. Mr VV. Nelson's h Gamecock, by Newminster, 5 yrs, 9st 51b ( including 71b extra) Walters 1 Mr Nightingall's The Idea, 3 yrs, 6st 101b J. Nightingall 2 Mr Maybe's Merrimac, 5 yrs, 7st Peppier 3 Mr J. II. C. Wyndham'a Innellan, 4 yrs, 8at 101b .. F. Adams 4 Betting: Evens ( at first 6 to 4) on Innellan, 5 to 4 agst Game cock, and 4 to 1 agst The Idea. Gamecock cut out the work on the inside, followed by Merrimac and Innellan to the top of the hill, where the two last- named gave way. The Id a came with a rush before reaching the Stand, but failed to catch Game- cock, who was never headed, and won cleverly by half a length ; a bad third. The SOUTHAMPTON NURSERY PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs, for two year olds: winners extra ; T. Y. C. f Mr Low's Stiiinley, by Colsterdale, 7st 41b. J.

Reeve's Miss Herbert, 6st 101b Zanker 0 Betting : 6 to 4 agst Aunt J udy, 5 to 1 agst Stainley, 6 to 1 agst Farnham, 7 to 1 agst Outpost, and 10 to 1 agst any other. Stain- ley, quick at beginning, got off in front, followed by Aunt J udy, Verbena, and Corsica. Just before reaching the dip a cow got into the course, and although it did not materially interfere with the leaders, caused some of those behind them to pull round. In the dip Aunt Judy was disposed of, and Corsica was left in attend- ance upon Stainley, who retained her lead without hindrance to the end, and won by a length ; half that distance separated the favourite from Corsica; Miss Herbert was fourth, Verbena fifth, Outpost and Dilston next, the last two being Mystery and Farnliam.

CAMBRIDGE RACES. Committee: Messrs Wills, Crawley, Parker, Clarke, Holmes, Haggis, and Newberry. Clerk of the Course: Mr M. Starling. Judge : Mr M. Starling, jun. Starter: Mr Manning. THURS DAY, , TULY23.— Since the revival of the Cambridge races none of the meetings have been attended with better success than the one which took place on Midsummer Common on Thursday last, and the satisfactory results which have attended the exertions of the committee and a few of their friends have led to the sugges- tion of extending the meeting over two days next year. The wea- ther was favourable, although at noon the clouds betokened rain, but none fell, and the afternoon turned out delightfully fine, causing a numerous attendance 011 the course. The Members' Plate did not produce a race, owing to the conditions which were, " three to start, or the public money will not be added." Five out of the seven coloured on the card came to the post for the Cambridge Handicap, which proved a good thing for Camper- down, Tom Sayers ( who was twice victorious over this course last year) having to give a year to him. The Eastern Princess entered was not the one by Surplice ( although handicapped as such), other- wise it would have been a good thing for Mr Weston's mare, who could scarcely have lost had she run, it being just her distance at the weights. The Town Plate produced some fine sport in the first heat, Kate and Polly jumping the three last hurdles simultaneously, Kate ultimately winning by a neck, Polly win- ning the two following heats easily. The Vest gelding won the Tradesmen's Plate, after breaking away and bolting at the tanned road, which caused three false starts. The Ladies' Cup, which is a handsome gift by subscription of the ladies of Cambridge, was won by Croydon, carrying 10st71b. After the race a dispute arose respecting his age, it being asserted he was five years old, whereby he would have had to carry list, which would have made Tom ' Sayers win easily, as he did not receive a 71b beating. A match terminated the sport. The CAMBRIDGE HANDICAP of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 5 sevs each, for three year olds and upwards; winners extra; about one mile and a quarter. Mr Abie's Camperdown, by the Flying Dutchman, 5 yrs, 8st 21b Brewty 1 Mr Ruston's Mermaid, 5 yrs, 8st 61b J. Daley 2 Mr Price's Maltster, 3 yrs, 7st 21b E.

Mermaid made play at a good pace to the grove, where she was joined by Camperdown and Tom Sayers, the three running abreast opposite the Stand. Before reaching the turn, Mermaid again showed in front, but was collared at the last turn by Camperdown, who, after a fine race home, won by a head; bad third.

Stewards : Capt White and Capt Starkie. Judge and Handicap- per : Mr J. Swindells, jun. Clerk of the Course and Starter : Mr G. H. Darwell, V. S. Secretary : Mr J. Cross. THURSDAY, JULY 23.— This, once the most aristocratic meet- ing in Cheshire, came off under unfavourable circumstances as re- gards the weather. The Cheshire Midland Railway being now open to Knutsford drew an immense attendance from Manches- ter, besides, many preferring to drive ( 15 miles), it being the finest road out of the cotton city, passing by the side of the splen- did park at Dunham, the property of the Earl of Stamford and Warrington. What Hampton is to London, so is Knutsford to Manchester. The racing was only noticeable for the fine finishes of the first two handicaps. Capt White and Capt Starkie filled the office of stewards with great ability. The CHESHIRE MIDLAND RAILWAY HANDICAP of 50 sovs ; three quarters of a mile.

The flag fell to a straggling start, Paddy O'Rourke and The Cobbler being several lengths in front of the other horses. In a few strides Paddy O'Rourke, pulling hard, cut out the work at a good pace, The Cobbler lying at his heels, the others, headed by Charles Fox, following in wide order. At the distance The Cobbler joined Paddy O'Rourke, and the pair coming away, a good race ended in favour of The Cob- bler by a neck ; a length between the second and third; Gaiety was a bad fourth. The TABLEY HANDICAP of 3 sovs each, with 30 added ; one mile and a quarter. Mr Beaumont's Devotee, by Mountain Deer, 3 yrs, 7st 8lb Whiteley 1 Mr Smith's Garibaldi, 4 yrs, 7st 91b T.

On passing the Stand Captain Knight took up the running, and at the top turn Lorette went up to his side, and the pair raced for the lead to the three- quarter mile post. About half a mile from home Charles Fox ran into the third place, and on entering the straight he took the command. Being joined at the distance by Garibaldi and Devotee, a fine race ended in favour of Devotee by a head, and the same between the second and third ; Captain Knight was a bad fourth.

FRIDAY, JULY 24.— These races took place to- day. The weather was remarkably fine and warm, and the attendance of the aristocracy, including a great many ladies, was much larger than on any former occasion. There was a good Stand and en closure, which were crowded by visitors, and each side of the course there was a vast number of gaily loaded drags, which gave the course a very pretty appearance. The fields of horses were large, the sport excellent, and the whole management of the amusements were carried out, as fully anticipated, in a most praiseworthy manner; and we are de- lighted to state that, although there were so many thousands of persons present, there was not a single accident, nor did anything occur to mar the sports, but from want of space we cannot enter more fully into the proceedings, which terminated most satisfactorily.

GOODWOOD STAKES, 5 to 2 agst Anfield ( tk fy) | 6 to 1 agat Bellman ( tk) GOODWOOD CUP. 5 to 2 agst Buckstone ( tk) | 6 to 1 agst lsoline ( tk) DOWN ROYAL CORPORATION RACES- Governor and Judge: The Marquis of Downshire. Begistrar: Capt E. W. Bond. This year great exertions were made by the corporation to re- suscitate the July meeting, and a much improved programme was issued, which caused a corresponding improvement in the attend- ance, and drew together a great variety of sportsmen, as well as crowds of artisans from Belfast, Armagh, Lisburn, Hillsborough, & c, who mingled freely during the races with their more fa- shionable and favoured countrymen, and proved that in the re- union of all classes the corporation had found out real and suit- able " revivals" for the enjoyment of the people of Ulster. Owing to a scarcity of horses so few were brought out to contend for some of the events, that arrangements and disagreements resulted which were not satisfactory to the public, especially in regard to the Belfast Handicap, which, after much disputation, went off in a walk over, which disappointed every person, and cur tailed the second day's sport of its most interesting feature. A handsome Challenge Cup for hunters, to be raced for at the October Meeting, presented by Lord Lurgan, was on view at the Stand House, where it was much admired for the beauty of its workmanship. The meeting passed oft'well, although the fields were limited. As uaual the Marquia of Downshire filled the judge's chair to the entire satisfaction of every one, and hia aide de camp, Capt Bond, the registrar, kindly acted as starter, in addition to his other duties.

THE LATE IPSWICH MEETING. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. Sis: As one of the interested in the decision of the Borough Members' Plate at the late Ipswich Races, I venture to ask, through the medium of your widely- circulated paper, the reason of the delay by the Stewards of the meeting in entertaining the objection made by the third horse, Lapidist, to the winner, Lady Derby ( as decided by them). She having been proved to have carried 71b short weight, by the laws of racing is disqualified ; and as bets are pending the decision, the matter ought to be at once entertained, to decide whether Deerfoot or Lapidist is the winner.— Yours, & c, FAIBPLAY.

Steeple chasing has been marked by the most disastrous results during the past week, which may be fairly attributed to the ab- surdity of having cross country encounters run during the hot months of July and August, when the ground is so hard as to afford no footing, and the dust always so great as to obstruct the sight of both horses and jockeys. At Rouen, last Sunday, in the Grand Steeple Chase, H. Lamplugh, who was riding Maritana, broke his arm; Enoch, 011 another, broke his collar bone; Cassidy, on Avalanche, injured his thigh ; Mr Jonas, on Snipe, shook him- self severely ; and Count Talon was also in a similar plight. In the steeple chase at Namur also, last Monday, Capt Haworth had three ribs broken, and Mr Wheelwright was otherwise injured very severely. Concerning the Rouen accidents, however, we are glad to learn that those who were injured are progressing favour- ably, Lamplugh, for instance, making so little of his broken arm as to be walking about Cliantilly on Monday and Tuesday as if nothing had happened. T• FACCIDENT AT ASTON HALL.— The inquest upon Mrs Powell, the so- called " female Blondin," was concluded on Friday, when it appeared the unfortunate woman was within a month of her confinement, and that the child was dead when she commenced her performance. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death, and expressed their opinion that parties are greatly to blame who engage people for performances which are dangerous to life for the amusement of the public, and [ that all dangerous and degrading performances by either sex should be discouraged. RACING OH THE CONTINENT. NAMUR RACES. MONDAY, JULY 20.— These races took place on Monday last, on the plain at Belgrade, and were very numerously attended. The Duke of Brabant and suite honoured the meeting by their presence, having come from Brussels by special train almost un- expectedly, as the night before nobody knew anything about their visit. The racing was interesting, particularly the flat race between Deux Sous and Despair, which ended in a dead heat, after a most punishing struggle from the distance; but both steeple chases were unfortunately marked by two severe accidents, the first to Mr Wheelwright, who was riding his own mare Margery Mayport, who, when racing at the Irish Bank the last time round, with Grisette, struck the top of the bank and rolled over her jockey, and remained lying, herself with her back broken. Mr Wheelwright seems to have been born under an unlucky planet. Last year, at the Bullfinch, on the same course, he broke his collar bone, and on Monday he was for more than half an hour unconscious, and when really he came round, it was found he was severely bruised about the head, and had a blow on his leg. At the moment of writing these lines we are happy to say he is much better, and able to move about. This Irish bank was the scene of nearly all the accidents, as will be seen hereafter, and the reason is this : the course was as hard as a macadamised road, and the dust all round was dreadful. The bank being made of t urf sods had got dry, and the first horse that jumped on it created such a cloud of dust that the horses who were following could not see what they were jumping at. The ditch on the taking off side, moreover, was not large enough, so that some horses tried to clear the lot in their stride, and, of course, came to grief. The next bad accident occurred to Capt Haworth, who was riding Roundhill, the winner of the Ghent steeple Chase last week, and happened at the same place as Mr Wheel- wright's mishap— the Irish Bank. He was trying to get first over, on account of the dust, and riding very fast at it just as he came to it. Arlaban II., ridden by Stamford, came along side of him, and when the horse was in the air, Stamford unfortunately cannoned against him, and sent horse and rider a terrific purler. When the captain was picked up, they found his collar bone broken, and he was immediately carried, as had been Mr Wheelwright previously, to a house adjoining the course, where the doctors, to whom the greatest thanks are due for their kind attentions, were busy with the first sufferer, and they pronounced not only his arm broken, but two, if not three, of his ribs on the right side as well. We are happy to say that Capt Haworth is going 011 as well as can be expected, and there is but little doubt that in a month or six weeks time he will be all right again. Roundhill received a severe blow on the shoulder, so much so that he could not put his foot to the ground in his box, but it is to be hoped that he will soon be got fit and well again. Carew, Auricula, and Revoke all fell at the bank, though no further casualties occurred, except that Revoke and Tippler, who fell at the far side, were lame when pulled up. The Gent lemen's Steeple Chase was won by Grisette, ridden by her plucky owner, who has won now five times out of six races with this mare, and always ridden himself. Auricula won the Great- Steeple Chase, after having given her jockey Hazel ( who trains as now for Baron Woelmont) a regular burster at the bank. The way this jockey rode this race deserves the greatest praise. Up to the present time he has always been either deceived about the course, or else got knocked out of therace at the beginning. From where he fell at the bank, and quickly remounted, he never could get his feet in the stirrups, and he rode the last two miles en- tirely without the use of these necessary appendages, coming in an easy winner by twelve lengths. Miss Margaret, the second, was also well ridden by Ronan, an Irish jockey. Lamplugh was to have ridden Tippler, and Enoch Revoke, but they both had severe accidents at Rouen the day before, Lamplugh having broken his arm and Enoch his collar bone. It is to be hoped that next year the committee will have the course well watered, parti- cularly the Irish bank. PRIX DU COMMERCE of 800f, for horses of the first croisement, three, four, or five yearsold, born and bred in the province of Namur; weight for age; certain conditions; once round and a distance.

At the distance both jockeys were hard at work, and after a punishing struggle, the judge declared a dead heat. The Count was fifteen lengths from the first two. Deux Sous afterwards walked over, and the stakes were divided. GENTLEMEN RIDERS' RACE of l, 000f, for all horses residing in Belgium before Jan 1, 1863; entrance 50f, to goto the second; certain conditions and allowances ; once round and a half ( about a mile and a half).

Grisette made the running, followed by Margery and Pretty Girl; the three jumped all the fences till the last but one from the chair, where Mr Wheelwright came to grief, just at the moment his chance looked the best, as he was only a length from the winner when he fell, and his mare had got the turn of foot to have just landed her easily No. 1; the second horse was beaten by ten lengths, and was well handled by M Rampleberg, an officer in the 2d Lancers, quartered at Namur.

Carew fell at the bank the first time, but was quickly remounted by his plucky owner, who rode him very steadily all through. Miss Margaret, the last time round, made the running till the last turn, when they both raced at the Irish bank, got well over, and raced to the hurdles, where the mare got the best of it, and won by ten lengths ; many lengths between second, third, and fourth.

THE CHASE. THE SHOW OF FOXHOUNDS IN CLEVELAND. The show of the Cleveland Agricultural Society will take place at Redcar on Friday next, whereat the now renowned annual show of foxhounds and hunters will be held.

GHISLIN'S LAMINARIAN HORX.— Mr Ghislin, of Hatton- garden, while resident in South Africa, devoted his attention to that curious marine production known as theu„ Laminaria baccanalis, and, after a great expenditure of money and many laborious ex- periments, has brought it successfully into use. The Laminaria, as prepared by Mr G.— who obtained a prize medal and honour- able mention at the Exhibition— has a singular likeness to stag's- horn, and has been recently applied to a peculiar kind of whip- handle. It is, in fact, equally applicable to riding and driving- whips, as well as a host of other articles, and possesses many dis tinctive advantages, as a trial of its merits will undoubtedly prove. An advertisement as to its further uses will be found in aot her column.

The Oreaid steamer ( Capt Wheeler) will accompany the race, leaving Blackwall immediately after the arrival of the quarter to eleven train from Fencliurch- street. OWNER. J. P. Dormey ROYAL HARWICH YACHT CLUB. The arrangements made for carrying through the regatta of this club with vigour and spirit were attended on Wednesday, July 23, with much success, although the pleasures of the day were marred, so far as the general public were concerned, by the" lower- ing aspects of the weather. Harwich has been reviving decidedly of late years, and backed up by the powerful support of the Great Eastern Railway Company, and other gentlemen desirous of re- viving the renown of its ancient port, it seems to be promised a new era of prosperity. Oil Wednesday the borough was honoured with the pr5s8i! C « of a real live Lord Mayor of London, that right lion individual being accompanied by Col Palmer, High Sheriff of Essex ; Mr H. Love, chairman of the Great Eastern ; Mr J. G- aodson, deputy chairman; the Hon Col Rowley, M. P. ; Capt Jervis, M. P. ; Mr M. Wills, a future candidate for the borough in the Liberal interest, and a number of other gentlemen. The muster of yachts was very considerable, comprising the Christabel, cutter, 48 tons, Mr jH. H. Kennard, of the Royal Thames and Boyal Victoria; the Siren, cutter, 48 tons, Mr T. Groves, jun, of the Royal Thames; the Audax, cutter, 62 tons, Mr J. H.

Packard, of the Royal Harwich; the Amazon, cutter, 46 tons, Capt H. F.

Maudslay, of the Royal Thames, & c. We have hinted that the weather was rather coarse. All last week was sultry in the extreme, but a change took plaee on Sunday, and Wednesday opened with a dull, lowering horizor, and a stiff'W. 8. VV. breeze. The consequence was that the noble harbour presented a somewhat sombre appearance, while the at- tendance of visitors was also smaller than it would otherwise have doubtless been. Lord Rendlesham, the Commodore of the club, WM unable to be present, having sailed recently in his schooner the Egidia, 137 tons, for a cruise in Scottish waters. The noble lord, however, testified his warm interest in the prosperity of the club by presenting a piece of plate of the value of 50 guineas to be • ailed for by yachts of 25 tons and upwards, of any rig, belonging to a royal yacht club. The entries for this prize were the Chris tabel, 48 tons, Mr H. H. Kennard; the Siren, 48 tons, Mr T. G- roi- es, jun; and the Audax, 62 tons, Mr J. H. Johnson. The start took place about noon, the Christabel gradually acquiring the lead. The course was between buoys with white nags, thence out of the harbour, passing between the Beach End and Cliff loot Buoys, thence to the Cork Light Vessel, thence to a mark boat with red flag at the Stone Bench, thence into the harbour, passing between the Beach End and Cliff Foot Buoys; thence to the committee vessel, passing between her and buoy with white flag, thence on to mark boat with red flag off Bhotley, and then to the committee's vessel ( the Onyx, revenue cutter), leaving the Cork Light vessel and station boats all on the star- board hand. This course was traversed twice ( or upwards « f thirty miles in all), and on the yachts passing between the committee vessel and buoy with white flag the match was completed. The three stately competitors were soon carried out to sea by the strong breeze, which bore them swiftly on their course. They were quickly lost to sight, and it was not until half- past one that they were seen re- entering the harbour. The Christabel was still leading, but the Siren was an excellent second; the Audax, which had carried away her bobstay, an indifferent third. On passing the committee's station the yachts were timed thus:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I II. M. S. CHRISTABEL 1 56 39 I SIREN 1 58 N ] AUDAX 2 11 23 The distance up the harbour to Shotley and back was soon ac- complished, the yachts again passing the Onyx as follows:— H, M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. CHRISTABEL 2 22 0 I SIREN 2 23 0 | AUDAX 2 40 25 The Christabel bad thus at this point a lead of three minutes, having no allowance to make for difference of tonnage. When the yachts stood a second time out to sea, the Siren still held per- seve'ringly in the wake of the Christabel, which did not add any- thing to her advantage in this division of the course, but rather diminished it. The times were recorded on the third occasion— that is, when the competitors passed the Onyx on their second return from sea— thus:— H, M. S. | H. M, S. CHRISTABEI, 3 59 5 I SIREN .. .. 4 1 55 Finally the match closed as follows:— H. M. s. | H. M. s. CHRISTABEL 4 29 0 | SIREN 4.34 0. No disputes having arisen, the Cliristabel was declared the winner. The second match, in which a piece of plate of the value of 25 guineas was presented by the Vice- Commodore, Mr J. C. Morice, was for yachts not exceeding 25 tons belonging to a royal yaciit club and in sea- going trim. It had been arranged that two " rounds should be sailed in this match also, but in consideration of the state of the weather one was dispensed with. The following entered and started at one p. m.:— The Alexandra, 15 tons, Mr G. Harrison; the Octoroon, 12 tons, Mr Cecil Long; the Bessie, 9 tons, Mr J. H. Hedg- e; and the Whisper, 19 tons, Mr C. W. Mo- rice. The start was effected gallantly, all getting under weigh well. The Bessie led at first, but was soon passed by the Octo- roon. The Alexandra met with a sad disaster very early in the match, which placed her completely hors de combat. In conse- quence of some defect in the stick, the mast gave way just above the mast- head, and sails and rigging came down in irremediable ruin, leaving the yacht a helpless lc- g upon the waters. About this time it began to rain heavily, and for a time the aspect of affairs was rather gloomy. On its clearing up, it was seen that the three remaining yacnts had nearly gained the open sea. On their returning to the Onyxj they were timed thus:— H. M. S. I H. M. 8. I H. M. S. OCTOROON 3 S 0 | BESSIE 3 6 25 | WHISPER 3 9 40 The run up to Shotley and back only added slightly to the lead of the Octoroon:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. | H. M. S. OCTOROON 3 32 50 | BESSIE 3 3? O | WHISPER 3 41 15 The Octoroon had to allow the Bessie lmin 30sec, but, never- theless, still won by 2rnin 40sec. A silver claret jug, of the value of 25 guineas, was presented by the Hon R. T. Rowley, M. P., and was sailed for by schooner yachts, without restriction as to tonnage. The entrances comprised the Intrigue, 77 tons, Mr J. K. Dumas; the Waterwitch, 23 tons, Mr H. Allenby; and the Violet, 15 tons, M. P. Bennet. The start was not a very good one, the Intrigue not clearing properly from her moorings. From the first, however, it became a question not whether the Intrigue would have the lead, but whether she would be able to cover the allowance which she had to make for difference of tonnage. Two rounds were sailed in this match, as in the first contest. The stages of the first round were completed as follows :— PASSED ONYX. RE- PASSED ONYX. II. M. s. H. M. S. INTRIGUE 3 12 50 3 40 15 WATERWITCH 3 26 50 3 59 40 VIOLET 3 44 0 4 23 80 As the Intrigue had to make the Waterwitch a very large allowance for difference of tonnage, the match was not yet de- cided affibetween her and the Waterwitch. In the second round, however, the Intrigue carried all sail, and greatly increased her lead. The first two yachts passed the Onyx for the third time as follows, the Violet having retired:— H. M. s. | H. M. s. INTRIGUE 5 S4 45 | WATERWITCH E 22 22 Tha Waterwitch, being thus hopelessly distanced, abandoned the contest at this point, and the Intrigue, which com- pleted her course at 6: 17: 35, was declared the winner. A fourth yacht match took place for a silver vase presented by the elub, and was open to be sailed for by yachts of any rig or" ton- nage connected with it. The following started at 1: 50:— The Queen, 38 tons, Capt Whitbread ; the Dewdrop, 18 tons, Mr E Packard; and the Amazon, 46 tons, Capt H. F. Smith. The Dewdrop was soon left hull down by her powerful opponents, but Hie contest between the latter was well sustained. The three passed the Onyx for the first time ( the course being the same as before) as follows :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. 3. AMAZON 3 27 40 | QUEEN 330 o| DEWDROP 3 57 20 On the run back from Shotley the Dewdrop was seen no more in the match, but the Amazon and Queen were timed thus :— II. M. 8. I N. M. S. AMAZON 3 54 55 | QUEEN 3 58 45 On again passing- the Onyx, after the second run out to sea, Capt Whitbread delivered a running verbal protest that the Aina zon had gone improperly to windward of the Cliff- foot buoy, and had thus forfeited her claim to the prize. The time was noted at this point as under :— n. m. s. | II. m. s. AMAZON 5 46 so | QUEEN 5 56 30 Finally the match closed as follows :— H. M. s. | H. M. s. AMAZON 6 19 10 | QUEEN 6 29 8 The objection of the Queen will have, of course, to be considered by the committee. Another yacht match stood on the programme, but did not fill. The last sailing match was for a purse of 15 sovs, offered for competition by Capt Jervis, M. P., among the dredging and trawling smacks of the port of Harwich, rough- looking, but swift and serviceable craft. The start in this match took place at 11: 30, the following entering :— The Volunteer, the Paragon, the Emily, and the Sir Francis Burdett. The contest was, however, restricted to the Volunteer and Paragon, which completed their oourse ( the same as in the yacht matches) as follows :— FIRST ROUND. SECOND ROUND, H. M. s. H. M. s. VOLUNTEER L 50 O 4 4 40 PARAGON 1 58 30 4 26 20 The prize, accordingly, went to the Volunteer. This completed the sailing division of the programme, but some rowing matches took place in the afternoon. The most important of these was for a silver cup of the value of five guineas, presented by Mr Alfred Brett, of the firm of Brett and Co, steam shipping agents, of London, to be rowed for by amateurs in four- oared boats, not exceeding 30ft in length; the second best to receive £ 2 2s. The competitors were the Sylph, the Why Not, the Who'd have Thought It, the Cygr. et, and the Curlew; the Nautilus also en- tered, but withdrew. These boats belong to the spirited rowing clubs which have done so much during the last year or two to revive aquatics on the Orwell. The course, a triangular one, was rowed over twice; the first round was not a very successful one, some fouling taking place; in the second, however, there was some clear fair rowing. The match was won by the Sylph, the Why Not being second, and the Cygnet third. The two prize boats were manned as follows:— Sylph: Bruce, Hume, Francis, Head ( stroke), Sturm ( cox)— Why Not: W. J. King, O. Ridley., Tracy, J. J. Head ( stroke), Sewell ( cox). The Why Not was 62sec behind the Sylph, and the Cygnet 30sec behind the Why Not. In a match between pair- oared boats the competitors were the Violet, J. Symonds ; the Surprise, H. Alli- son ; and the Violet, C. 8mith. The course was about a mile and a half, twice round. The Bessie, which came in first, was awarded 30s ; the Violet, second, 15s ; and the Surprise, third, 5s. The third match was between boats belonging to H. M. S. Pembroke, and the second cutter won the first prize of £ 4, the barge the second of £ 2, and the first cutter the third of £ 1. In a match between four- oared galleys not exceeding 26ft in length, the Rose won the first prize of £ 4, the Monsoon the second of £ 2, and the Prince the third of £ 1. Finally a pair- oared match was com- peted for by Harwich watermen— Fincham, Bennett, and Carter, and the prize (£ 1) was won by Fincham, who headed Bennett by three lengths. ROYAL YORKSHIRE YACHT CLUB The annual regatta of this club came off on the Humber on Wednesday and Thursday, July 22 and 23. The great match was for a piece of plate, of the value of £ 63, presented by the club ( the second yacht receiving a piece of plate of the value of £ 10 10s), to be sailed for by yachts belonging to any royal yacht club. The great prize assumed the form of a silver tea kettle. The weather w as squally and wet, but there was nevertheless a large attendance. The entries comprised the Shamrock, cutter, 12 tons, Capt Cater, R. N. ( green) ; the Albertine, sckooner, 100 tons, Lord Londes- berough, Commodore of the Club ( blue, pierced with white Maltese cross) ; the Banshee, yawl, 29 tons, Mr E. Squire, jun ( blue); the Amber Witch, yawl, 51 tons, Capt Bacon ( burgee with witch on a broom) ; and the Volante, cutter, 56 tons, Mr H. C. Maudslay ( white). The signal gun was fired at II a. m. from H. M. S. Cornwallis, which has been for some time stationed at Hull, and the Banshee took the lead, the Volante and Amber Witch following, second and third. The Albertine made an indifferent start, having to round a Hull billy- buoy, while she did not get sail fairly upon her until she neared the Hebbles float. The Amber Witch got to wind- ward of the Banshee, but was passed by the Volante before mak- ing the Hebbles float. The Banshee, however, luffed up oppo- site the floating buoy, and succeeded in getting to windward of both her competitors. The Albertine, meanwhile, began to gather way, and was close upon the Amber Witch, Volante, and Banshee when they had rounded the Hebbles float. The yachts continued in this position until they passed Paull lighthouse, when the Albertine went to windward of the Volante and Banshee. The Amber Witch still kept her first place, but opposite No. 9 buoy was passed by the Albertine, which then took the lead. By the time Sunk End was reached the Albertine was at least half a mile ahead of the Amber Witeh, while the Volante and Banshee were a respectful distance in the rear. The wind now freshened considerably, much to the advantage of the Albertine ; and the Bull floating light, about 22 miles from the starting point, was rounded as follows :— H. M. S. .. 12 45 20 west shore, and on going about had gained considerably on the Surf, increasing their lead as the wind grew a little stronger. They finally reached the flagship thus:— H. M. s. I H. M.

The FOURTH RACE for £ 25 originally, afterwards increased to £ 40, was for yachts exceeding 15 and not exceeding 40 tons; time race, same conditions as last race. This brought to the starting buoys the following:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. YACHT. TONS. OWNER. 1. THOUGHT .. .. 27.. J. Jones 4, WARRIOR .... 23.. T. Boiand 2. Avoc. v 38.. 11. H. O'Brien 5.

The day's sport wound up with races for men- of- war boats. We shall give a detailed account of all the matches in our next. IRIsH MODEL YACHT CLUB. This match, which is looked on by tha club as their great race of the year, was originally fixed for Monday, July 13, the day but one before the Royal Irish Yacht Club Regatta, and accordingly at two o'clock the following little clippers were seen taking up their stations, breeze fresh from the eastward:— Glide, 14, D. Fulton ; Virago, 10£, J. Eyre; Magnet, 12, E. J. Bolton; Pet, 12, Lieut- Col Rutledge; Dove, 12, T. D. Keogh. Of these the four last have often been described in ourcolumns, and have frequently contended in the matches of this club and the regattas of Dublin Bay; the race generally, however, ending in the success of the Magnet, which is the newest and most powerful boat, has a beau- tiful outfit of spars and sails, and an excellent skipper, all of which serve her especially in light weather; on a run and reach, however, in light wind, she finds it difficult to get away from the Virago, which is a surprising little boat of her inches, but does not go well to windward; while the Pet and Dove are first- rate little cruising boats, more fit for a strong breeze and lumpy water than for racing with their more modern opponents. Of the Glide, the only new boat, it is impossible to speak too highly; she is the fastest thing of her tonnage afloat, and, from the way in which she tackled the Thought on the Clyde, and from her per- formance since in the regatta of the Royal Irish, her owner may congratulate himself on having the best boat out this year, so prolific of new and successful racing vessels. She did not, how- ever, leave the starting buoys on this occasion, we believe from a chivalrous feeling on the part of her owner, who, being sure of the superiority of his boat, did not wish to inter- fere with the contest which has been so fairly carried on for five years for the possession of this cup amongst the small yachts of the Bay. At 2: 15 the other four went away with a nice fresh breeze; a dead beat out to the Bouth Burford buoy. Virago took the lead, followed by Pet, Dove, and Magnet in the order of their names. At 2: 34 Virago tacked to port, wind E. by N., and soon afterwards the others followed her example, Magnet going very slowly, holding no wind and dropping astern, it being very clear that, in her crew's anxiety to win and beat the Glide, they had altered her trim or rigging, and bedevilled her. Pet went splendidly and looked like passing all but Virago, when, presto, suddenly the wind was gone, and the boats rolling about in a dead calm close to tire North Burford buoy, carried away to the southward by the strong tide. AH efforts were vain even to get steerage way until nearly halt- past ten o'clock, when a breeze sprung up, and the weary and hungry crews were uncommonly glad to make the best of their way to the harbour. The race was then fixed to come off on the 17th, the third day of the Royal Irish Regatta, to start at half- past twelve o'clock, after the second- class match of that club. The owner of the Giide, with the same feeling as pre- vented his contesting the race on the first day, proposed to the hon secretary to sail his last year's boat, the Ripple, which was lying alongside of him, instead of the Glide, being both more of a size with the other boats, and less certain of carrying off the cup ; to which the secretary, on his own part and that of the Pet, assented, but for which he soon got hauled over the coals by the owners of some of the other boats. The Ripple went to the Btarting buoy, though informed of their dissent, and at 12: 35 exactly off they flew with a fine reaching breeze from the N. W., just as much as they could well stand with large topsails and big jibs. Off the wind Virago took the lead, Ripple next, Magnet and Pet close astern, Dove, who was to leeward, and a little late in taking up her starting buoy, last. At 12: 40 Pet ran up on Virago's weather quarter and passed Ripple, Magnet going ahead and to windward. All hauled up a good deal to keep clear of each other untii about a mile and a half from the buoy, when they kept before it, and Pet took the opportunity of being nearly dead off to take in her balloon jib, but had hardly lowered it when the wind hauled up a good deal, and she lost a great deal of way from want of it, falling astern of all the boats. The buoy was reached by the Magnet about 12: 52, Ripple a little astern of her, and all tacked round it for a short distance, and then were able, with the tide out of the bay, to weather the North Burford, which is one mile north of the South buoy. Pet overran herself and again lost ground, having to bear away, and the buoy was passed— Magnet 1: 35: 10, Ripple 1: 35: 15, Virago 1: 36, Dcve 1: 38: 10, Pet 1: 39. It was now nearly a dead beat of seven miles to South Bar. Magnet held a good wind as soon as she got her large topsail down and a jib- headed one set, but heeled over much, and seemed pressed and not to go fast through the water, Ripple also dropping to leeward, which, when her crew found, she shifted her large jib for a smaller one, and the effect was most astonishing ; she at once went fast to the front, and kept there all day. Virago went bodily to leeward, while the Pet, revelling in the breeze and lumpy sea, began to go to work in earnest. She went up on the Dove's weather like a shot, and fast gained on the Magnet, though not having a small topsail which would sit, she was obliged to keep her 20- footer aloft when it would have been much better on deck. All made a long reach off or. the starboard tack, and at 2: 42 Ripple tacked for South Bar, which she rounded at 2: 44, Magnet 2: 47, Pet 2: 19, Dove 2: 54, Virago 2: 55: 30. They then set their big jibs and jibed round the hauling buoy in the harbour, and off again round as before. The sight was beautiful— bright sun, fresh breeze, and the three matches of the Royal Irish Yacht Club going on at the same time. The jibe was safely and well made by all, and the time past the East Pier- light, going out, was:— Ripple, 3: 3: 30; Magnet, 3: 7; Pet, 3: 8: 56; Dove, 3: 14; Virago, 3: 17: 10, The run out was quickly made, and as the breeze seemed likely to continue, glass falling and sky getting murky, Pet housed her topmast for beating home, the others shifting their topsails for smaller ones, except Dove, which held on with her 20- foot, Virago here giving it up and returning to the harbour. The time at North Burford was:— Ripple, 3: 50; Magnet, 3: 53: 15; Pet, 3: 56; Dove, 4: 3. All tacked round the buoy aud stood across the bay, except the Dove, which stood on right under Howth, hoping for a slant, and she got it with a vengeance, and also a great deal more wind than in the bay, where it fell quite light, and Pet had to get up her topmast and topsail again, as she quite stopped in the lumpy water and light breeze. When she met Dove again she only just squeezed across her bow, a great deal too close to be pleasant, as she was on the wrong tack, and the Dove, a much heavier boat, went at her like a ram ; they did not touch, however, and the Dove made a long reach towards the harbour, and the Pet towards the river, a performance for which she was rewarded by finding the Dove on her next tack nearly a mile to wind- ward of her, and her chance of beating her gone. Round the buoy they went:— Ripple, 5: 9; Magnet, 5: 13: 15; Dove, 5: 16: 45; Pet, 5: 25, a strong proof of how the Dove had gained in the beat on the whole of them, as she was 9min and 45sec astern of the Magnet at the North Burford, and only 3min 30sec at the bar. The breeze had now freshened again, and was very stiff in the harbour, and the sky looking dirty. The Ripple passed the flag- vessel at 5: 28, having done the whole distance, 24 miles, exclusive of two long beats, in four hours and fifty- three minutes, and proved herself the fastest boat, especially to windward, of the lot. She must, however, we fear, be contented with the barren honours she has won, as the Magnet claims the cup, which has been referred to the sailing committee, who can hardly decide in any way but one, and the Magnet will probably obtain the cup for the third and last time; and well she has deserved it, and so has her owner, as he has always sailed in the most plucky and sportsmanlike way, built the boat at Kingstown on his own draught especially to win this very cup, and spares no expense to have her fitted out in the best possible manner. Thus ends the season of this club, and a most successful one it has been, as a re- ference to our back numbers will show. It is much talked of to alter its constitution next year, to do away with the title of model, and to open its prizes to all sizes of yachts, in classes, as in the Royal Thames, having a handsome cup for eacii class, to be won three times, but with a money prize added each year to pay ex- penses ; and it is hoped that thus the interests and welfare of yacht sailing in Dublin Bay will be promoted, and that some of the plucky and wealthy citizens will be encouraged to build vessels which will prove not only the champions of their own waters, but be able to hold their own against the beautiful craft which come here each year from England and Scotland. If any man would build a craft of 50 tons on the principle of the Glide, and give her sails and a crew fit for her, he need fear neither Phryne, Phosphorus, Surf, or any other craft afloat. Surprise came in first, the Peep o' Day second, and the Flower third.— In an eighth match between four- oared ships' boats, the prizes being the same as in the preceding contest, the competitors were the Fame, Capt Perceval; the London Paeket, Hart; the Ann, Long; the Eagle, Capt Garwood; the Swan, Ruggles; and the Alarm, E. Robinson. The Alarm won the principal prize, the Fame and Swan being second and third. In a conical shovel match, for prizes of 15s and 10s, between the Fossil, Bullenthorpe, and the Nancy ( Mullett), the latter came in first. The beautiful Orweil was crowded with crafiof all sorts— indeed, inconveniently so; and the Pair- oared Amateur Match was rather seriously in- terfered with towards the close by the Atalanta steamer getting across their course. On the whole, however, the regatta was at- tended with encouraging success. H. M. s. ALBERTINE .. 12 33 40 AMBER WITCH. 12 40 40 The wind was still VOLANTE resh, and the Albertine for some time gra- dually increased her advantage; in returning, however, and when abreast of No. 9 buoy, the schooner was obliged to bring up, in consequence of the wind veering to the north. The wind having gradually lost its force, the other yachts came up with and passed the Albertine in Killingholme Reach. The Volante also gained on the Amber Witch, and abreast of Paull passed lieV to windward on the Middle Sand side. An interesting contest ensued between the Volante and Amber Witch, the Albertine having- completely lost her chance, as from her greater draught of water she Was un- able to keep in the shallows. The Volante rounded the Hebblea float about two minutes and a half ahead of the Amber Witch, but the wind soon after freshening a little, the Amber Witch hoisted more sail, and succeeded in recovering some of her lost ground. The time was recorded as follows at the close:— H. M. S. 1 H. M. S. VOLANTE 5 2 5 | AMBER WITCH 5 27 36 As the Volante was entered for 56 tons, aud the Amber Witch for 51 tons, the lead of lmin 31sec was insufficient to cover the al- lowance for difference of tonnage, and the Amber Witch became entitled to the first prize. Lord Londesborough presented the successful competitors with their prizes in his usual aourteous manner. A match took place between six- oared galleys, manned by gentleman amateurs, and the competitors were the St George, Mr W. Reynolds cox ( blue with white cross), and the Polly, Mr J. G. Atkin cox ( blue and white stripe). The St George won, after a pretty good contest. Thursday's proceedings, which were of secondary interest, shall receive attention next week. ROYAL C0flK YACHT CLUB REGATTA7QUEENST0WN. This regatta commenced on July 23, and was very fairly at- tended. The morning opened with a slight breeze from the north, which increased a little during the day. The FIBST PRIZE (£ 7) was for open vessels employed in fishing exoeeding 20 tons, and was won by the Catherine of Rathcoursey, beating the St John and Nancy of the same place. The SECOND PRIZE (£ 50) was for yachts exceeding 60 tons ( no time allowed for tonnage) belonging to members of the royal yacht club, & c. The following started at eleven o'clock, taking up their stations to the eastward as follows :— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. J YACNT. TONS. OWNER. 1. HEROINE .. 48.. J. C. Atkins 3. AVALANCHE .... 47.... J. Wheeler 2. Moivs .... 62.. T. Houldsworth | This race not having filled as originally proposed was opened for craft under 60 tons, but no time was allowed for tonnage. The Avalanche got a capital start, closely followed by the iEalus and Heroine, all with their big canvas set. After an admirably con- tested race they arrived at the flagship in the following order and times:— H. M. S. I II. M. S. I H. M. S. , EOLCS 5 2 37 I AVALANCHE.... 5 4 26 1 HEROINE 5 6 S2 No time being allowed / Eoius was declared the winner. The THIRD RACE was for £ 50, for yachts exceeding 30 tons and not exceeding 60 tons, belonging to royal yacht clubs; time race, half rate Ackers's scale, and below that half a minute. The fol- lowing took up their stations to windward in the order indicated : YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWNER. 1. SURF 54.... C. T. Couper 3. VINDEX...... 45 A. Duncan 2. PHRYNE 55.... C. T. Seddon | Surf went away with the start, closely followed by the Phryne and Vindex. After a neck and neck run out to the flagboat off Cork Head, it was rounded as follows ( Greenwich time):— H. M. S. I H. M. S. 1 H. M. S. PHRYNE L 20 10 I SURJ I 21 15 | VINDEX 1 23 45 In the beat back to the Spit Light the Vindex got into second place, which she kept, and was not again passed until nearing the western boat, rounding which the time was— H. M. S I K. M. S. I H. M. S. PHRYNB 3 55 20 I SURF 3 59 10 j VINDEX 4 0 0 Surf increased her distance on the reach to thenextjflagboat, and, thinking to get a wind, stood into the shore off Poor Head, but hurt herself by so doing. Phyrne and Vindex tacked over to the IPSWICH REGATTA. A regatta took place at Ipswich on Thursday, July 23, for the first time since 1856. The first match was for a £ 20 Plate, and was competed for by yachts under 15 tons, the following entering: — The Red Rover cutter, 14 tons, S. Nightingale ( of the Norfolk and Suffolk Yacht Club) ; the Bessie cutter, 10 tons, J. H. Hedge; the Alexandra cutter, 14| tons, G. Harrison ( of the Royal Lon- don) ; the Vision cutter, 8 tons, G. Barrison; the Little Yankee schooner, 12 tons, Capt Cholmondeley ; the Victoria cutter, 8 tons, Capt Whitbread ; the Octoroon cutter, 12 tons, C. Long ; and the Violet schooner, 12 tons, P. Bennett. The Alexandra did not start, in consequence of the serious damage sustained by her on the preceding day. The others quitted their moorings off Downham Reach shortly after twelve at noon, being accompanied in their run out to sea by the Great Eastern Railway Company's steamer Prince. The Little Yankee led at first, the Red Rover being second, the Vision third, the Octoroon fourth, and the Bessie fifth. The Vision went ashore a few minutes after starting at Collenny Point, and, although got off again in about five minutes, her owner and crew had the mortification to see all her competi- tors leave her far astern. The course sailed by the yachts was from Downham Reach out to sea, round the Corfe Light, leaving it on the starboard hand, and back up the Orwell to the Cliff Bight. The weather was delightfully fine, aud the party oil board the Prince had a very pleasant trip out to sea and back. As Harwich was approached, it was discerned that the Octoroon and Bessie began to gain on the Red Rover, and pre- sently the Octoroon slipped past the Rover in beautiful style. When the open sea was reached the Little Yankee was still lead- ing, and the Red Rover, abandoning the contest, bore up towards Walton- on- the- Naze. The Octoroon, Violet, and Bessie occupied good second, third, and fourth places. The Cork Light was rounded as follows:— LITTLEYANKEE 1 39 15 VIOLET 1* 41 6 VICTORIA 1 45- 0 OCTOROON 1 40 35 | BESSIB 1 42 0 | VISION 1 48 45 After this point the Prince bore up again for Ipswich, and soon entering the Orwell, left the yachts far astern. It was pro- phesied that, in beating back, the schooners would be vanquished by the cutters, and as it was predicted so it fell out, the Little Yankee being overhauled both by the Octoroon and the Bessie. The Violet and Victoria did not complete their course, but the first four yachts were timed as follows on reaching the Cliff Bight: — N. M. S. ] H. M. S. I H. M. S. OCTOROON .. .. 3 5 1.5 J LITTLEYANKEE3 14 15 VISION 3 2.' 35 BESSIE 3 11 35 | j The Bessie is a favourite local yacht, but on Thursday she dis- appointed expectations, and it was whispered that her arrange- ments as to ballast were not quite what they should be. A second match, for £ 10 10s, for yachts under 7 tons, did not fill. A third match, for skiff's— first boat to receive £ 3, second £ 2, and third £ 1 — furnished, however, the following entries :— The Kitty ( black), Bacon; the Surprise ( red and white), Girling; the James Laur. celot ( white and red), C. Girling; the Caroline ( white, black cross), Naunton; the Don ( red, white, and blue), C. Adams; the What ( violet), J. Day; and the Henry ( white), J. Gibbs. The course sailed was down the Orwell to Hail Point and back, about five miles each way. The start took place at 1: 59, and the Caroline came in first at 3: 36, the Surprise being second, and the What third. The next match was between amateurs rowing in four- oared boats, the prize offered being £ 7. The en- tries were as follows :— Princess Alexandra ( red), W. Thompson, Norwich ; the Why Not ( light blue). Petrel Rowing Club ; the Cygnet ( pink and white), Ipswich Working Men's College ; the Bylph ( red and white), Orwell Rowins; Club ; the Curlew ( blue and white), Oi well Works Rowing Club ; the Who'd a Thought It ( white), E. Robinson ; and the Nautilus ( violet assd white), Nautilus Rowing Club. The match was rowed in heats, the first being between the Nautilus, Why Not, andPrincess Alexandra; the Nautilus won. In the second heat, between the Cygnet, Curlew, and Sylph, the Curlew won. The Curlew and Nautilus then competed in a final heat, the Curlew winning by about a length. — The next feature in the programme was a match for £ 5, rowed by amateurs, in pair- oared boats, the following entering:— The Princess Alexandra, the Why Not, the Sylph, the Curlew, the Who'd a Thought It, and the Nautilus— colours as before. Only one heat was rowed, the boats starting, as in the former match, from the Black Ooze, and rowing to the Cliff Bight. The Curlew, pulled by Messrs A. Long and E. Ransome, was again a winner; the Princess Alexandra second.— A Match, rowed by watermen, in pair- oars, the first boat receiving £ 2, the second £ 1, and the third 10s, was won by the Albert ( pink), J. Symonds, sen ; the Victoria ( red), Eiliston, being second; and the Bessie ( blue), J. Symonds, jun, third — Next came a match between watermen scullers, for prizes of £ 2, £ 1, and 10s. The following entered:— The Active ( white), C. Kirby; the Peep o' Day ( pink), J. Symonds; the Surprise ( blue), Eiliston; the Flower ( violet), J. Day; the Snowdrop ( red), Smith; and the Jessie ( green), Burch, The AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES. THE WINOFIELD SCULLS.— This important annual eveBtwas established in 1830, and ha3 since that time experienced many changes and reverses. In the first year of its institution it at- tracted no less than eight competitors, and the fortunate winner of the prize on that occasion was Mr J. H. Bay- ford ; but although he was beaten next year, there was but little competition again till 1837, when Mr Coiquhoun won the trophy, and for three years the number of starters was food and the men great, the names of Wood, Chapman, Jenkins, ' ollock, and Wallace being sufficient to show that the sculls did not on these occasions pass from one man to another without severe struggle. The competition was small again till 1814, when Mr T. B. Bumpstead was the victor, who was defeated in his turn by Mr H. Chapman in 1845. These races were rowed over the ola course, Westminster to Putney, but the encroachments of steamboats drove the competitors in this race, as in all others, to Putney, the course being altered from thence to Kew in 1849. Meanwhile more good races followed, amongst which the greatest was that between Messrs Frank Play ford and T. R. Bone; and we have also the names of Fellows, Paine, Rippingall, and Not- tidge to speak to the quality of the men who competed. The mention of these brings us to 1855, when the late lamented Mr Casamajor defeated Herbert Playford— who had acquired the prize without a contest— and walked over for them the next five years. On the 15th July, 1861, an important meeting was called of past competitors, when various modifications were made in the conditions attached to the race, and amongst others the course was altered to Putney to Mortlake. Failing health had compelled Mr Casamsjor to resign the trophy he had held so long unchallenged, and his death soon afterwards left the competition entirely open, and Mr E. D. Brick wood won the sculls that year. He was not destined, however, to hold them long, for a new aspirant arose in the person of Mr W. B. Woodgate, of Brase- nose College, Oxford, who had distinguished himself on more than one previous occasion. It was many years since a Univer- sity man had been seen rowing for the prize, the Londoners having, to use Mr Woodgate's own expression, fanned the race, but the easy manner in which the best Oxonian at that time acquired the right of being considered amateur champion of the metropolitan river proved him to be a real good sculler; his success last year induced others to measure their strength against the picked London men, and we had on Monday last the unprecedented fact of two Oxonians rowing in the trial heat for the Challenge Soulls, to see who should have the honour of beating a third gentleman from the same University. There was also the equally unprece- dented fact of a Tyne man following the example oi the professors of the art, and coming to London with a view of wresting the laurel from Mr Woodgate's brow, and the extremely game manner in which he rowed showed that the attempt was not presumption on his part, bat that weight and strength will be served, and that he was simply overcome by sterner stuff. Two members of the London Rowing Club had also entered, but did not come to the post, and Mr Brick wood's illness prevented him making another essay for the prize so soon wrested from him. CHALLENGERS' HEAT.— MONDAY, JULY 20.— The competitors who came to the post on this occasion were:— Mr J. E. Parker— University College, Oxford ( Surrey station) Mr J. Wallace— Tyne Amateur Rowing Club (. No. 2 statien) Mr A. O. Lloyd— Leander Club ( No. 3 statien) Mr E. B. Michell— Magdalen College, Oxford ( Middlesex station) So fine a list one would naturally have imagined would have at- tracted a large concourse of spectators at Putney, but as far as the public were concerned there might have been no race at all, so little interest did they take in it. The sight on the water, how- ever, in a measure made up for the absence of spectators at the starting point, for the recently imported practice of having pilot boats for the guidance of the gentlemen engaged in this race, brought out no less than four eights and the London 12, and there were besides a large number of scullers and oarsmen afloat. Each competitor had undergone the usual course of training, and they all appeared very fit, but there was much disparity in size, for Mr Wallace only weighed 8st 71b, while the lightest of his rivals ( Mr Parker) was two stone heavier, Mr Lloyd weighing about lOst 101b, and Mr Michell about lOst 111b. On row- ing to his post it was observed that Mr Wallace's boat— a beautiful specimen of the Clasper build, only weighing 311b over all— had received a severe twist forward. We sub- sequently were informed that it happened while bringing her to London in the Newcastle steamer, and that Mr Wallace was unable to get another in time, and as she buried forward in con- sequence at every stroke, there can be no doubt that the Tyne man rowed under considerable disadvantage. Mr Parker's boat was by Salter of Oxford, Mr Micheil's by King of the same place, and Mr Lloyd's by Biffen, Mr Parker was piloted by Stephen Salter, who was rowed by the London twelve- oared boat; Mr Wallace by George Drewitt in a waterman's eight; Mr Lloyd was attended bjT an eight of the Leander Club, old John Phelps showing him the way ; and Harry Kelly looked after Michell in an eight rowed by the Kingston Rowing Club. Mr E. D. Brick- wood, as the latest past holder, was the umpire, in an eight rowed by members of the London Rowing Club, and the Childe Harold steamer, engaged by the Leander Club to accompany their four- oared raced, also went with the race. The start took place at about 5: 30, the tide having almost finished, Mr Edward Searle, of Stangate, officiating as starter in a skiff between the com- petitors. At the word " oft"'' being given, Mr Parker came away at a tremendous pace, but Michell, favoured by the beet station, immediately afterwards showed a slight lead, and at the Star and Garter had half cleared himself; Mr Wallace was very slow in starting, and Mr Lloyd still more so, and this, aided by Mr Parker's powerful rowing, enabled that gentleman to pull across them and into the wake of Mr Michell, alongside of whom he had ranged himself by the time they were opposite Simmons's Boat- yard, where a splendid race was going on between them, as if they had started side by side, instead of from such widely different berths. Tfce extraordinary pace Mr Parker had shown in order to get so soon into the near cut round the corner, necessarily made him suffer by comparison with MrMichell. who had simply'to row straight from his station, and . his was shown in the uneven style of Mr Parker, as compared with his opponent's pulling. At the Duke's Head Parker had led Michell slightly, but the obliquity of his course thence to the Bishop's Grounds made Michell had a little in that part of the race we have described as occurring opposite the Star. Mr Parker immediately afterwards drew strictly level, however, and neither could be said to have a decided lead for a quarter of a mile further, during which time every inch of the distance was most fiercely contested, and Wallace and Lloyd were gradually left further and further astern, the latter irretrievably so. Nearing the Point Mr Parker's rowing had become more settled, and he gradually left his opponent till he was clear, and then had acquired a lead of something like half a length, both hugging the shore very closely and out of the tideway. At the Point Mr Michell put on a fine spurt, and nearly approached Mr Parker's stern, but the litlle room he gave him- self evidently was a great advantage to his opponent, who got away again to Craven Cottage. Here again Mr Michell came up, and rowed with such game and spirit, that he was level with his opponent's sculls as they commenced the shoot, and continued so till they had passed the Dung Wharf. Here Parker, alive to the fact that he had a most determined opponent to deal with, roused himself to such an extent that he at once drew clear, and was leading by half a length at the Crab Tree, from which point Mr Michell was unable to cope with the superior strength of his antagonist, and fell away rapidly in the rear, Mr Parker passing under Hammersmith Bridge in lOmin 38see, leading by four or five lengths. Meanwhile, to return to the others, Mr Lloyd con- tinued his efforts to retrisve his position till about the Crab Tree, when he resigned the contest, having to row stroke in one of the Leander fours. Off the Soapworks Mr Wallace was also so far behind that his chance was deemed hopeless, and both the steamer and the whole of the cutters, with the exception of his own, consequently went ahead of him, so that coupled with this and the fact of something like twenty scullers and pairs accompanying the race, he had a perfect sea to row through. Notwithstanding this, however, an accidental glance behind after passing under Hammersmith Bridge showed that he had gained about four lengths, having been something like fourteen or fifteen lengths behind, and now only ten. Off the Doves, Mr Michell, although live or six lengths astern of Parker, spurted repeatedly, and so desperate were his efforts to retrieve his position, and so rough was the water through the reach that at the bottom of Chiswick Eyott he was evidently much distressed, and soon afterwards ceased rowing, his left arm having apparently " gone." This enabled Mr Wallace to approach still closer, but Mr Michell renewed his rowing, and right through Corney Reach it was a race for second place. With the utmost gameness, espe- cially for a little man, and one who had been so far behind, Mr Wallace put on spurt after spurt in ceaseless succession, and aided by a powerful and vigorous style of pulling, very nearly akin to the London style, he gained inch by inch, till stimulated by the deserved encomiums of the spectators, he had so bettered his position that every one expected he would go in second. Michell rowed with equal game, and still contrived to keep ahead, but at Barnes Bridge there were only three lengths between them. A large number of people had as- sembled here, and the excitement was immense as Mr Wallace neared his man and actually drew right on his quarter at the White Hart, but more could not be expected of him. He had already rowed a stern wager of nearly four miles under every dis- advantage, and with more game than many watermen would evince, and, nature being able to bold out no longer, he could not answer spurt with spurt, and Michell, drawing away, came in second by three lengths. Mr Parker of course won ; he passed under Barnes Bridge, where the last of the flood had left its mark, in 23min 20sec, leading by35sec, or thereabout, and reached the Ship at Mortlake a winner by about 40 seconds. Neither the distance nor the time could be accurately taken, as the steamer stayed behind to watch the race for second place, but the time was about 27min 7sec. FINAL HEAT.— THURSDAY, JULY 23.— This had been looked forward to with great interest, Mr Parker of University College, Oxford, having to row the holder, Mr W. B. Woodgate, of Brase- nose College, Oxford ; and many were the opinions expressed, the public inclining to the belief that Mr Parker would prove too fast for his opponent; but rumours were going about after Tues- day that Mr Woodgate would not row, as Le had injured a tendon of his neck. These wanted confirmation, but on Thursday there was no doubt about the matter, as Mr Parker appeared at the post at the time fixed, and rowed over the course from Putney to Mortlake, for the prize and title, the public, by Mr Woodgate's unfortunate illness, missing, most probably, a very fine race.

Under the judicious management of the Thames Subscription Club this, the waterman's regatta of the country, has again been a complete success. The presence of Green, the faifiOUS A^ t^ lisn Champion, as a competitor, and his carrying off from the water- men of the Thames and Tyne the prizes in the two principal races in which success mainly depends on individual aquatic skill, has shown the regatta in reality what it has always professed to be, the highest tribunal for the test of merit, and open to all the world; whilst the number of entries for each race, and the severity of the struggle for first place, prove how highly the honours it bestows are coveted by the best watermen, scullers, and oarsmen of the day. The fact of there being such an annual entertainment for the display of aquatic skill amongst so large and useful a class as the watermen of England must be a sincere cause of satisfaction to all who look upon our leading national sports, and especially rowing, as conducive, to the development of useful national ends: and the Thames Subscription Club seems now to have assured us of a permanency and stability for this regatta that we have long hoped for, and has freed us from the uneasy feeling of anxiety and suspense lest every exhibition given should pro bably be the final one of the series. That we have tided over this uncertainty, we may thank the executive of thisprosperous club and its careful management for the last four years. Each year the value of the prizes has been increased, whilst for the first time in the annals of this or any previous Thames regatta, properly audited accounts have shown a balance of about £ 60 in hand, " after pay- ment of all debts. Hitherto heavy liabilities have been incurred, that the entertainment might pass off with greater pomp and - how, which eventually had either to be discharged by individual mem- bers of the committee or not at, all, and hence the final periodical breaks up that have occurred ; but the Thames Subscription Club, while adding to the value of the prizes, has determined to limit expenditure to income, wisely looking to increased popularity and a fuller list of subscribers for placing them in the position to indulge in expenses more ornamental than imperatively called for. The club has contrived, however, by the strictest economy and an honorary executive to furnish all the conveniences and enjoyment that their subscribers, the public, or the competitors could desire. The Maria Wood— stationed in a convenient posi- tion for seeing the races, and with a capital band on board— was engaged for the subscribers and their friends, and conveyance by boat afforded from the shore, while an excellent cold collation was laid out for such as chose to avail themselves of it, and all this gratuitously. There is no doubt but that time will still more con- solidate the position of this influential club, not only as the managers of this great regatta, but that it will eventually be- come the sole judicial authority of the country in all aquatic matters ; if as occasions arise it will liberally enlist and identify with it the active representatives and members of the leading clubs of the country. It has already shown watermen that any acts of misconduct in public races will be no longer tolerated, and has temporarily debarred from competition at the races of this regatta one whom we were last year obliged publicly to cen- sure in strong terrn3. It has drawn up a code of rules for the regulation of regattas generally, and grappled with, if not finally decided, the vexed question of the Championship of the Thames. With regard to the races on the card, with but one exception they were all that could be desired; for sculling, pair- oars, four- oars ( all entirely " open to all the world''), and watermen's apprentices; but why at a watermen's regatta a special prize is to be given for " metropolitan tradesmen'' we are quite at a loss to understand— make the exception, and yeu de- stroy the rule. Surely there was a full enough day's sport without it, and seeing that a crew that had already started fer the Cham- pion Four- oared Watermen's Race, finding they were likely to be defeated, ignominiously stopped short in the" race that they might have a better chance in the " Metropolitan Tradesmen's'' race, which they subsequently won, the anomaly seems to us still more unaccountable. If Mr H. Playford should not again repeat his past onerous and disinterested labours for organising " a junior watermen's regatta," could he not suggest to the committee some useful race as a substitute, and which his great experience has satisfied him as being most conducive for bringing out young and good men ? We give this as the only exception to the otherwise general judicious manage- ment of the Thames Subscription Club in reference to this re- gatta, and as it has often before been dwelt on in aquatic circles, we feel we are only discharging a public duty in mooting it again. To the committee generally, more especially to Mr R. N. Phillips, vice- president, and Mr H. C. Smith, honorary secre- tary, by whose untiring and indefatigable labours the regatta has been made what it now is, the public are indebted for the success that has attended it this year; and we trust that every ene will lend a helping hand to furnish his quota to swell the sam total of subscriptions, by which alone their exertions can be fully developed. The working department, under 8. Salter and W. Blake, as also the police regulations, were most satisfactory, but the pitiless rain kept away the great mass of spectators that had begun arriving before its advent. The prizes were distributed after the races by Mr. R, N. Phillips, LL. D. ( in the absence of the Hon George Denman, M. P., the president), with appropriate comments on the leading features of the different races, and kind words of encouragement to the defeated, as well as deserved eulogium to the victors. The racing began at two o'clock with PAIR OARS, Open to the world; first prize £ 20, second £ 10, third £ 5; the first two boats in each trial heat torcw in the final. FIRST HEAT. 2. T. HoareandT. Wise ( Han- iinersmith) 1 1. T. Mackinnev and J. Glover ( Richmond) 2 3. J. Taylor and" M. Taylor ( Newcastle) 0 Henry Kelly and Green ( the Australian) were also down on the card, having the worst static n on the Surrey side, but as the word " off" was given, the Victoria ( Capt Barrett), with unpardonable carelessness, as the men must have been seen lying at their stations, came through the bridge, and literally cut the Austra- lian's boat in half. Its occupants fortunately saved themselves by clinging to the steamboats chains, but could not, of course, go in their heat. The instant the accident occurred the other boats were recalled and on, being started again the Taylors went off' w ith the lead, followed by Mackinney and Glover, Hoare ai-. d Wise last. Their positions were not altered till they were off the Star and Garter, where Mackinney and G lover spuited upnearly level withthe Taylors, and a good race was the consequence to the commencement of Finch's fields, where Hoare and partner also came up, and after all had rowed level for 50 yards, the Hammersmith pair obtained thelead, goingatafliiepace, anduever being approached afterwards, won by three lengths. Soon after this the Taylors steeied wildly, and, goingout of the tideway, proved easy victims to the Richmond pair. After Kelly and Green had been taken ashore, and bad put on some warm clothing, they made their appearance on the com- mittee barge, and, after stating their case, they were allowed to row in the final heat, taking the worst, station. SECOND HEAT. 1. G. Hammerton ( Kingston) and J. W. Tagg ( Moulsey),... 1 3. A. Thompson and M. Scott ( Newcastle) 2 2. W. Bell and J. Macki.- mey ( Richmond) 0 The Newcastle men took the lead, followed by Hammerton and Tagg, the Richmond pair close up, and in this order they reached the Duke's Head, when Hammerton and partner, closing with the North countrymen, soon afterwards assumed the lead. The race was very fast, and the lead was very warmly disputed by Thomp- son and Scott to the Point, where Hammerton and Tagg went further in front, and Bell and Mackinney having tailed off by this time, the other two pairs merely paddled in to save their places. The above heats were rowed up from Putney to Hammersmith, the final heat down on the ebb tide. FINAL HEAT. 5. Richard A. W. Green ( Australia) and Henry Kelly ( Putney) 1 2 George Hammerton ( Kingston) and John Tagg ( Moulsey). 2 1. A. Thompson and M. Scott ( Newcastle) 3 4. Thos. Iloare and Ttios. Wise ( Hammersmith) 0 3. Thos. Mackinney and John Glover ( Richmond) 0 This was one of the races which the Childe Harold accompa- nied, and in a pitiless shower of rain, attended by a blinding wind, the spectators were kept waiting, owing to some of the com- petitors declaring in no measured terms that they would not start against Kelly and Green. Public feeling was divided upon the subject on Hammersmith Bridge, and incited by the entrea- ties of their friends " not to start and be swindled," it was full 20 minutes before the whole of the men would get into position ; but, when they did go, there was such a race as is seldom seen. The Newcastle pair took the lead, followed by Hammerton and Tagg, Mackinney and Glover next, and then Wise. Green and Kelly, besides having the worst station, which is no joke when five start at Hammersmith Bridge, had, of course, to procure another boat other than the one they had been accustomed to row in, and either through not being ready or because they feared that there might be an attempt to foul them, and so keep them back, they did net get away till quite two lengths had been co- vered by the others ; when tbey did, however, they laid down to it in earnest, and in 50yards had passed Hoare and Wise, and im- mediately afterwards did the same by Mackinney and Glover. Meanwhile Hammerton and Tagg had collared the Newcas- tle pair, and were leading them at the Distillery, where Kelly and Green, preserving their station, were drawing on Scott and Thompson, the Richmond and Hammersmith pairs, half a length astern, rowing level, and the whole contest being a most ex- citing one. All except the Australian and partner had hitherto been verv wild, but at the Soap Works Hammerton and Tagg settling down more, got the best of the tide, and were directly followed by Green and Kelly, who, preserving their station, had just pasted the Newcastle pair, and in a few splendid strekes, which called forth repeated plaudits, the Australian and his mentor raced along- side Hammerton and Tagg, and after a severe but brief encounter passed into the first place. The work now became tremendous through Barne Elms, the wind rendering the water a perfect cauldron. The Newcastle pair not liking this pulled dead across the water, and got under the Shelter of the willows on the Mid- dlesex shore. While doing this the Richmond and Hammer- smith pairs, still racing as though the whole fortune of the day de- pended upon them, both passed ahead of them. Soon afterwards, however, the severity of the race caused Mackinney and Glover to tail off, and they were passed by Thompson and Scott at the Crab Tree, Hoare and W'ise presently becoming fourth to them. By this time Green and Kelly had rowed so well and kept so true a course that they were t ® . e two clear lengths in front,; but Ham- merton and Tagg, whose steerage was also good, never left them, and putting on a fine spurt at the Craven at a time when Green and Kelly thought it was all over, they drew within half a clear length of them, and some people were exclaiming that Green was as usual done at a mile ; but they had reckoned without their host, for the instant Master Richard found he was col- lared he and his partner went away again by one of the most brilliant pieces of rowing ever witnessed, and con- tinuing the even tenour of their way after, and never deviating from their course, tiiey held a lead of a length right home, where the cheers which greeted them amply compensated for the abuse they had received at Hammersmith. The spurt put on by Ham- merton and Tagg abstracted attention from the other boats for the moment, but on looking round again it was found that the Ham- mersmith boys had oollared the Newcastle party at Craven, and were rowing them a desperate race, and it was not till they were opposite the Committee Barge that Scott and Thompson were able to shake off their plucky little opponents. They came in three lengths behind Tagg and Hammerton, and one length ahead of the Hammersmith pair. Mackinney and Glover did not complete the distance. WATERMEN'S APPRENTICES, In old- fashiosed boats, open to apprentices from Oxford to Gravesend inclusive ; first prize, coat, silver badge, freedom of the Thames, and £ 2 ( total £ 23), second £ 5, third £ 3, and fourth £ 1; the first two boats in each heat to row in the final. FIRST HEAT. 3. David Coombe9 ( Horselydcwn) 1 1. George Shepherd ( Chelsea) 2 2. William Sawyer ( Rotherhitbe) 0 „ , Shepherd and Coombes came away with the lead together, and ^" ctitpman. i find'ngby ' be time they reached the London Boat House that they had nothing to fear'in Sawyer, they merely paddled ahead of him to save their places. SECOND HBAT. 1. John Wood ( Millstairs) 1 S. Richard Laming ( Millstairs) 2 2. Edward Hough ( Horselydown) 0 Wood at once took the lead, and never being threatened, won by three lengths; but there was a desperate race between the others to Craven, where Laming went second; after this Hough repeatedly came up, and Laming had never time to cease rowing till the Soap Works, where he got away, and came in two lengths ahead of Hough. Both these heats were rowed up. FINAL HEAT. 1. D. Coombes ( Horselydown) I 3. G. Shepherd ( Chelsea) 2 2. J. Wood ( Mlllstairs) 3 4. R. Laming ( Millstairs) 4 After a length of time spent in getting them even, they got off' beautifully together; immediately afterwards Coombes went away with the lead, closely followed by Wood, these two nearly- fouling, but they got clear again, and Coombes soon went nearly his length in front; this lie held to the Soap Works, where Wood, who was rowing him very bard, came up level, and went slightly ahead; a desperate tussie ensued, but did not last over 100 yards, for Coombes's superior staying powers coming to his aid, lie re- covered the lead, and Shepherd, who had been rowing very fast astern, went second before they reached the Crab Tree, but could not approach Coombes, who won by two clear lengths ; the same between second and third; Laming nowhere. Distance, Ham- mersmith to Putney, SCULLING RACES. Open to the world ; first boat £ 20, second £ 10, third £ 5 ; the two first boats in each trial heat to row in the final. FIRST HEAT. 1. George Drewitt ( Chelsea) 1 8. Joseph Wise { Kew) 2 2. Edward Bell ( Richmond) 0 T. Royal, Pimlico, and Horace Cole, Chelsea, did not start. Drewitt came away with the lead very fast, followed by Wise, and led by half a length at the Duke's Head, when Wise putting on a spurt drew up level at the committee barge, and at Finch's had gone in front, maintaining his lead to the Point. Here Drewitt repassed him, and Beil, who had tailed from the first, being five or six lengths behind, there was ao rowing afterwards. SECOND HEAT, 3. Henry Kelly ( Putn « y) , 1. Richard A. W. Green ( Australia) .... ' "" i 4. Thomas Hoare ( Hammersmith).... A 2. Edward Eagers ( Chelsea) „ These men started in a very heavy showeVoif'rain,'' and after some consequent aeiay" took a slight lead, Kelly beingnext to the Star, where Green came up in his now well- known rapid style, and parsed in front with the greatest ease, leading Kelly past the committee barge by his own length. Hoare and Eagers at this time were strictly level, and rowing a capital race by them- selves till they reached the middle of the Willows, when Eagers resigned the contest, and Hoare, to the surprise of all, began to tail oft most unmistakably from Harry Kelly, whom Green was leading easily by a clear length. At Craven Hoare rowed into a boat, and this destroying his chance entirely, the others had not very much to do, and Kelly repassing Green at this point, they rowed quietly in f » r places. These heats were rowed up, the final dawn. FINAL HEAT. 4. R. A, W. Green ( Australia).. 1 I 1. Henry Kelly ( Putney) 0 3. George Drewitt ( Chelsea)— 2 | 2. Joseph Wise ( Kew) dls The disgraceful feeling which had characterised the final heat of the pairs was also exiiibited in this race, and Wise, who was recommended by some oue to foul Kelly, who rowed next to him, did so it will be seen, and in so unmistakable and atrocious a manner that it is to be hoped he will be barred from all future regattas held under the auspices of the Thames Subscription Ciub. The start was taken very evenly, immediately after which Kelly took a trifling lead, followed by Green, Drewitt and Wise scull and scull. This only lasted for 100 yards, when Wise, pulling deliberately on to Kelly, rowed right into his boat, making a large hole iu her quarter. Kelly broke away again, and, damaged as his boat was, attempted to continue the race, when his opponent, rowed dead at him again, fouling him a second time, and we are informed also struck the ex- champion with his scull, when Kelly's boat began to fill, and he Jhad to row ashore and give up his share in the race. By this time Green and Drewitt liad got some distance ahead, Green leading, frequently challenged by Drewitt; but it was evident this was only on sufferance, as the Australian's eye might be seen travelling towards Hammer- smith, to see what had become of his mentor, and merely keeping comfortably ahead of his man, Green won by a clear length. After the race Kelly attended on the Committee Barge and claimed the foul, but the committee informed him that as Green and Drewitt had nothing whatever to do with the case, they must have the prizes as won, they ( the committee) oiiiy having the power to disqualify Wise, which they unanimously- did. As Kelly, also, had not rowed over the course, the com- mittee could not, having a due regard to their rules, give him the third prize, but allowed him compensation for the injury done his boat. CHAMPION FOUR- OARED RACE, Open to the world; first prize £ 100, second £ 20, third £ i0. FIRST HEAT. 1. PRIDE OF THE THAMES CREW 2. THE RICHMOND CREW PRIOE OF THE THAMES. I 1. H.

Mackiimey ( cox) The start was taken evenly by both, and they remained level to the Star, where Hammerton's crew began to come away, led by half their length at the barge, and were clear at the London Boat House. At the Point they led by a clear length, and after that they eased up and went in the winners by two lengths. The dis- tance in ail the heats was from Putney Aqueduct to the lower end of Chiswick Eyot. SECOND IIEAT. 3. PRINCE OF WALES CREW L 2. THE A. P.

Hill ( cox) Gibbs, juu( cox) The Chiide Harolu accompanied this race, which was a very fine one. After a number of false starts the crews got away to- gether and remained so for a hundred yards, when Bain's crew began to fall out and the Taylors to take the lead. At the committee barge the latter were half their length in front, but at the London Boat House Royal's crew came up nearly level, and a fine race ensued for a short distance, when Drewitt slipped his button outside the rowlock, and before he could recover him self, which he did very smartly, the Taylors had gone away quite two lengths, and were rowing in excellent form and at great pace past the Half- mile Post. Drewitt's mishap enabled Bain's crew to come up, but they could only hold their opponents fifty yards, and then Royal, putting on a very fine spurt, ieft them, arid began to gradually collar the Newcastle party. At Craven there was a marked difference in their positions, scarcely more than half a clear length separating the crews; the Taylors got away again after this, and were nearly a clear length in front when they commenced crossing, but avigorous effort brought them in dangerous proximity to their opponents' stern, and then by very skilful steerage the Lon- don boat was taken out of the Taylors' wash and along the 8urrey bank, under the shelter of the willows, before the others had a chance of obtaining the desired place. This placed the boats on a more even footing, and the advantage of the position was at once shown, for by the time they were opposite the Crab Tree, Royal's party, rowing with great spirit, and amidst the shouts of the spectators on the bank, drew halfway up the Taylors, and just before they reached the Soap Works came level, the race being very severe. Little by little they went half their length in front, the Taylors not giving up their place without a struggle. They now approached the bridge, and as they had to go through the centre arch, it became a question whether the London party would not foul the dummy, the Newcastle coxswain naturally giving them as little room as he could, Royal's coxswain, how- ever, compelled them to give way, and the boats passed the pier all clear, with their heads pointed direct for the Mall at Hammer- smith. It was a fine piece of steerage, and deservedly applauded. They had now to come straight again, and the Londoners doing this quicker than their opponents, passed clear under the bridge, and after another attempt on the Taylors part to get up, took their water opposite Sawyer's, and were leading by half a clear length at Pincliin and Johnson's. Here the Newcastle men put on another fine spurt, and drew on Royal's quarter, but the Lon- doners got away again, and won this fine race by about three- quarters of a clear length, in splendid time, viz, llmin 50sec— the tide, however, was a very good one. The Lambeth crew did not show, having cut it very early in the race. THIRD HEAT. Between the beaten crews in the first and second heats for the third prize. THE RICHMOND CREW walked over The Taylors did not get to their starting post in time, and Bain's were barred, not rowing the distance in their own heat. FINAL HEAT. PRIDE OF THE THAMES CREW ( Hammerton's) I PRINCE OF WALES CREW ( Royal's) 2 This was a very hollow affair to what had been expected, oc- casioned, no doubt, by Royal's party having had to row so hard in their lieat, v. hile Hammerton had won his with ease. After a false stait Hammerton's crew took the lead at great pace, and were leading by half a length at the Star, going clear at Sim- mons's; at the boat house they led by half a clear length, Royal's coxswain taking a bad course, and Hammerton, continuing to increase his iead, was a length and a half clear at Craven. Here Royal picked up, and seemed as though he meant to repeat his performance in his own heat, but at the Dung Wharf Hammerton had resumed his old lead, increased it as he pleased, and won by four or five lengths. Messenger built the winning boat, and under his care the crews trained at Mr Packwood's, the Oak Tavern, Surbiton, during the last week previous to the race. WATERMEN'S APPRENTICES, In eutrigged boats, open to apprentices from Oxford to Gravesend included; fi'- st prize, coat, silver badge, freedom of the Thames, and £ 2; second £ 5, third £ 3, fourth £ 1; the two first boats in each heat to row in the final heat. FIRST HEAT. 1. R. Cook ( Oxford) 1 13. J. Howells ( Battersea).... 0 2. H. Stratford ( Lambeth) .. 2 | Cook came away with the lead and held it throughout, winning easily, and Stratford was ahead of Howells all the way. John Bitfen of Hammersmith did not start. SECOND HEAT. 1. F. Kilsby ' Lambeth) 11 2- T. Wise ( Hammersmith).. 0 3. J. Callas( Richmond) .... f I H Harris of Teddirigton did not start. This was a very fast and exciting race; Callas led for a distance, and then Kilsby came up, and ever and anon Wise was also on their quarter. This caused a tremendous race among them all till Wise was left behind, but the others continued level, and rowed so well together that they made a dead beat of it, and Wise, coming up at the Soap Works, was level with the other's sculls. FINAL HEAT. 3. R. Cook ( Oxford) 1 I 2. F. Kilsby ( Lambeth) 3 4. 11. Stratford ( Lambeth) 2 | 1. J. Callas ( Richmond) 4 The Oxonian came away with the lead, and never being challenged, won easily. Callas came out second, and held that position right down to Craven, where both Kilsby and Stratford, who had been rowing a desperate race, passed him, and con tinuing their struggle for second place, never ceased till they were within fifty yards of home, when Kilsby, then slightly astern, gave in, Callas having done so just before. METROPOLITAN TRADESMEN'S FOUR- OARS, In old- fashioned boats, outrigged fore and aft ; qualifications settled at meeting publicly convened, and held at WentzeH's, Ship Tavern, Lambeth, on May 30, 1861; first prize £ 40; second£ 10, third £ 5; in one heat. 1.

Hester ( cox) Distance: Chiswick Eyot to Putney. Bain's crew came away with the lead, and held it all the way with ease, coming in first by two lengths, but there was an excellent race between the others, aiid it was not till close to home that the Fulham party became second. Another crew had entered, but could not start, owing to their boat being smashed. The regatta did not finish till dark, and we cannot close our account without making honourable mention of the umpires, Messrs Ireland, E. D Bnckwood, Cox, Lucas, Bovill, Phillips, and Steward, who through the drenching rain stuck manfully to their work from two o'clock till nearly nine. DOGGETT'S GOAT AND BADGE, The following are the names of the six young watermen entered to contend on Saturday, August 1, for the livery and badge given by Mr Thomas Doggett, deceased, a celebrated comedian, in com- memoration of the happy accession of the family of her present Majesty to the Throne of Great Britain :— H. Prince ( Baukslrte) T. Young ( Prince's Stairs, J. E. Meara ( L) eptford) Kotherhithe) E. W. Edwards ( Tower) J. Egalton ( Blackwall) F. R. Russeli( Bermondsey) The second and third prizes arc- the gifts of the late 8ir William Joiiiffe, as per his will, arising from the interest on £ 260 17s 3d Three per Cents Reduced, formerly £ 200 South Sea Stock. The second prize is five- eighths of the interest, £ 4 17 9d; the third prize is three- eighths thereof, £ 2 18s 9d. The first man will receive £ 1 Is in addition to the coat, the fourth £ 1 lis 6d, and the fifth and sixth men £ 1 Is each, provided they row the distance, these being presents of the Fishmonger's Company. The race will start at three p. m. ARIEL AND CORSAIR FOUR- OARED RACE, The annual contest between these amateur clubs came off onWed- nesday, July 22, from Putney to a boat near the top of Chiswick Eyot, and although the opinion of the metropolitan clubs proved correct as to the result, still the raoe was not nearly so hollow an affair as some had deemed it would be. The Corsair crew was a better one than they had ever befsve turned out against the opposing club, and the excellent form in which they rowed the first part of the race leads to the belief that, under better auspices, and with more new blood im- ported into the club, the A. R. C. might have to succumb to C '' a. The rival crews on this occasion were as under:— 2. A. Hopkins 3. ( 1. Green 4. R. Bain J. Hill ( cox) ALEXANDRA CREW 1. E. Griffith 2. W. East 3. W. Quickenden 4. W. Styles R. Cook ( eox) THE AKIELS. st lb 1 1. J. Westell 9 7 • 2. P. Fisher 10 9 | 3. R. Fisher 10 10 i 4. T. W. Hopton 10 6 j J. Hume ( cox). THE CORSAIRS, st 1. H. Kearns 9 2. J. EI linger 10 3. A. Herrcn .. 11 4. J. C. Kearns W. G. Smith ( cox) 7 lb 4 0 6 9 0 The clubs had chartered Citizen B, Captain Hawkins, to accompany the race, and she left London at 4: 30, with a large party of ladies and gentlemen, nearly every club on the river being represented. The crews were somewhat slow in showing at Putney, but on the Ariels making their appearanca the Corsairs quickly followed, and both crews were greeted with the cheers of their friends. Betting was 2 to 1 on the Ariels, but the form © f their opponents scarcely warranted such odds. Mr Boydell, captain of the London Rowing Club, was the umpire, and Mr Fenner, of the same club, started them. The crews got away at about 6: 30, the Corsairs obtaining the Middlesex station, which was a great pull, as it was blowing very stiff down the reach. The Corsairs obtained a trilling lead, the Ariels not getting hold of their water in the first stroke, but immediately afterwards the latter drew level, and rowed with a steady busi- ness- like stroke, while the Corsairs were somewhat flurried and short; they remained strictly level for fifty yards, and then the Corsairs, whose coxswain made the best use of the station, and kept under the shelter of the willows, showed a lead o£ about a yard to the Star, where the Ariels drew level again; the Corsairs 6howed slightly in front again directly, a>\ d then a very pretty and close race followed, there being very little to amend in the rowing of either crew. This lasted till they were very near the Point, when the bowman in the Corsair boat, who had had but little praotice. and was the last man taken in, began to tire, and the Ariels presently putting on a very lively spurt went BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, JULY 26, 1863. away so fast that they led by half a clear length at the Pomt. The Corsairs, with fr- sh wind, pressed them hard from here ; and, although the Ariels increased their lead all the while, rowed a very game stern wager to the Crab Tree. Here the Ariels still further increased their advantage, and led by two- and- half clear lengths at the Soap Works. The windliaduow full play upon them, and the work was nearly as severe for one as the other ; but the Ariels still improved theirposition. andledat Hammersmith Bridge by full three lengths. When they were through the bridge the water was as rough, we believe, as we ever saw it. Notwithstanding this, however, Mr Keams put on spurt after spurt when he could lay hold of his water at all, and the exertions of the crew became almost painful, as the whole of the oars were at times nearly swept from the men's hands. They were very loudly applauded, but the Ariels meanwhile were holding their lead with compara- tive ease, and ultimately won by Ave lengths, both crews being loudly cheered for their exertions. The state of the water may be judged by the winners occupying 18 minutes in rowing the course. Their boat was built by Clasper, and the Corsairs rowed in a very excellent one bv Simrnons. Both coxswains deserve great praise for the excellent course they took right through the race. VICIOBIA MODEL YACHT CLUB.— On Wednesday, July 15, a match was sailed at Victoria Park, Hackney, between first- class boats owned by members of the above club. The entries com- prised four fine models, and much interest was manifested as to the pre bable result of the race. At six p. m. the following were at their stations:— Emily ( cutter), Fawn ( cutter), Merrimac ( cut- ter), L idy Lotrisa ( cutter), and were at once started by the Com- modor j, whose exertions to ensure a good match have always been n ost praiseworthy. The course was three times up and down the lake, the wind being light, and almost straight down the water, so that the boats went away with a flowing sheet, their large topsails doing them excellent service. The Merrimac was first to show ahead ; she appeared to be the favourite, and soon proved that confidence in her powers was not misplaced, for while the others had scarcely got clear of each other she had obtained a goad lead, and was cutting out the work in earnest. As each arrived at the further end sheets were hauled in, and beating to • windward commenced, the Merrimac lying very close, followed in1 order by the Lady Louisa, Emily, and Fawn, the last- men- jjaoned being somewhat underrigged for such light weather. From this point no material change occurred until towards the end, when the Merrimac rather increased her lead, and came in a • winner by several minutes, while the Emily and Fawn slipped respectively into secoud and third places, leaving the Lady Iiouisa last. YACHT CKUISES.— The Anemone, Mr H. A. Hamilton, from Kingstown; and the Ceres, Mr R. T. M'Mullan, from London, are cruising in the North Highlands. The yawl Red Hear, 51 tons, Sir J. P.

Regatta took place on Thursday, J uly 23, for a new boat, & c, with the following results:— First heat: C. Black well 1, Jas. Morris 0, A. Palmer 0. Palmer led all the first round, but in turning the buoy caught his right hand scull in the chain, and was swamped. Biackwell then went from the second to the first place, and there continued to the finish, winning by three or four lengths.— Second heat: W. Honeyman 1, J. James 0, T. Wright 0. Honeyman won as he liked, 10 lengths separating the others.— Third heat: A. Palmer 1, J. Morris 2, J. James 0, T. Wright 0. Palmer led throughout, and won by six lengths ; the others nowhere.— Fourth heat: A. Palmer 1, W. Honeyman 2, C, Black well 0, J. Morris 0. Palmer, as in the third heat, won as he liked ; Honeyman three lengths ahead of the others, who were nearly level at the finish— Final heat: W. Honeyman 1, A. Palmer 0. Palmer, almost immediately after the start, fouled a barge, and before he could recover himself 12 lengths separated him and his opponent. He, however, started after him, and only tfetsee lengths separated them at the finish. The regatta was under the management of Mr W. E. Biackwell, and was, as usual, well conducted. UPPER AND LOWER ST MARY'S ( ROTHERHITHE) REGATTA.— This regatta, among six apprentices in the last year of their ap- prenticeship, for a coat, silver badge, freedom, & c, came oft" on Monday, June 20, with the following results:— First heat: C. Crawford 1, L. Smith 0, E. Allford 0. Crawford left the others at the start, and won as he liked. A good race for second place; won by a length.— Second heat: T Carpenter 1, H. Cocklin 0, T. Leary 0. It was a very good race between Carpenter and Cocklin, leary falling astern." Won by half a length.— Third heat: L. Smith 1, N. Cocklin 2, T. Leary 0, E. Allford 0. A good race for a mile between all parties, when Smith and Cocklin drew ahead, Smith winning by two lengths.— Fourth heat: C. Crawford 1, T. Carpenter 2, L. Smith 0, N. Cocklin 0. Crawford won easily, and after a sharp contest for second place, Carpenter put on a spurt at the finish, and came in half a length astern of Crawford.— Final heat: C. Crawford 1, T. Carpenter 0. This was well contested for a mile, but after that Carpenter was no good, and was beaten by three lengths. The regatta was under the able management of H. Ledger. J. BRETT AND H. SHOEERIDGE V J. KIKBY AND F. SIMMONS. —<£ 10 A SIDE.— A pair- oared race between these lads, with cox- swains, was rowed on Wednesday, July 22, from Putney to Hammersmith, Green, the Australian, being umpire in an eight. After a level start Simmons and partner took the lead, and held it for 200 yards, when Kirby caught a crab. This enabled the others to come up, but Simmons and Kirby were with them again, and a capital race followed to near Craven, when Simmons and part- ner got away; but the race was most hotly contested right home, Brett and Shoebridge only being beaten at the Bridge by a clear length. The winners rowed in a boat built by Simmons, the father of one of them. HUNTINGDON BOAT CLUB.— A match took place last week on the. Ouse between a crew of this club and a crew from Trinity Col- lege, Cambridge. The course extended over about a mile between the Island and Houghton Lock. Both crews went off with a spurt, but after a few strokes the Trinity gentlemen gained the lead, which they kept throughout, winning by four lengths. The crews were composed as follows:— Trinity College ( dailfr blue): 1. Parish, 2. Cockshot, 3. Davis, 4. Booker, Turner ( cox). Hun- tingdon Boat Club ( light red): 1. Rowe, 2. Mainthorpe, 3.

The Editor of BelCs life to be stakeholder. KILSBY AND MAY.— For this scullers race we have received the whole of the money, £ 25 a side. It is to be rowed from Putney to Barnes, on Saturday, Aug 1, and the referee should have been appointed at the final| deposit; but as this was not done, it can be left till the day of the race, unless they meet previously to arrange. Henry Kelly ( ex- Champion of the Thames), in consequence of what was said and done at the Thames Regatta, is ready to row either Wise or Drewitt. or both ( in the same week), from Putney to Mortlake, for £ 100 a side. An answer in Bell's Life will be attended to. WALT0N- 0N- THAMES REGATTA.— We have been requested to correct an error which occurred in our account of this regatta in last week's impression, the local pair- oared race being won by Messrs Cobbett and Doering, and not by Messrs Lunisden and Beid, as reported by us. W. West will row H. Brand o£ Bloomsbury from Putney to Hammersmith or Barnes, for any amount, and will meet him at the Spread Eagle, Old North- street, Theobald's- road, on Monday evening, July 27, prepared to sign articles.

WELLS- » EXT- THE- 8EA REGATTA — A regatta has been arranged as usual at this retired little Norfolk port. Tuesday, July 28, is the day selected. THE RING. RACKETS. OPEN AND CLOSE COURTS. MR EDITOR: It appears that your correspondent " 2.," among the many charges he brings against the gentlemen and players of the Belvedere Court, accuses them of making that court appear to be the head- quarters of rackets. Without pleading guilty to the above accusation, I have no doubt whatever but that it ought to be so considered for many reasons. It is the oldest existing court in London. It is situated in the most convenient locality. It can command the most numerous attendance; witness the crowded state of the grounds on Saturday, July 18, and on the day Bailey and Errwood played for the Cup. For upwards of forty years it has attracted all the best players in London, and has pro- duced some of the best close court players of the day. I need only mention the late T. Pittman, the two Erwoods, and though last not least, John Mitchell, who for some years previous to his death was champion of both close and open courts; all of whom were originally open court players. Your correspondent " X." is in error when he asserts that the Belvedere Open Court Champion CL" '? represented as the Champion Racket Cup by the gentlemen aiV layers of the Belvedere Court. If any one has had the bad taste ( and it is very possible) to invest himself with the title of " Champion of England," his title has not been recognised by any sensible person. If there has not been " six Richmonds in the field," I have known nearly as many champions at one time, no doubt actuated by the silly vanity of wishing to retain the empty title after renunciation or defeat. But this I can safely assert, that the cup given by Mr Buckingham to be played for has never been represented to be anything more than the " Belvedere Open Court Champion Cup."— Yours, & c, T. M. J. Sowden, the celebrated racket player, has his animal benefit at the Boilean Arms, near Hammersmith Bridge, on Thursday, Aug 6, when many gentlemen and professional players will posi- tively attend and play. On Monday, July 27, there will be a grand match for a silver- mounted racket, to be played for by Sowden's pupils. Also a fouv- handed match will be played by the best player?. Boats every half hour, aud omnibuses every five minutes. Every accommodation and refreshment at the tavern. PIGEON FLYING-— The City Club, held at Peter Crawley's, Duke- street, Smithfield, had their sweepstakes fly on Monday, July 20, from Reading. Mr All wood ( time lh 9min) 1, Mr Cates ( lh 12min) 2. 13 subscribers. Mr J. Barrett of White Abbey, Bradford, will fly his blue hen pigeon against any other hen pigeon in Bradford, or in the neigh- bourhood of Bradford, from Morcombe Bay, Skipton, and Keigh". ley, in one day, for £ 5 a side; or will fly his little blue dappled cock and blue hen against any other pair in Bradford, from Mor- combe Bay station, for the above sum. The match can be made at J. Hollings's, Brickmakers' Tavern, Brick- lane. PETER CRAWLEY'S CITY CLUB.— Mr Pickering, a member, flies a match for £ 20 against Mr Burlington of Camberwell, on Monday, July 27, 130 miles. Mr Day and Mr Pickering fly a match from Reading on Aug 17, for £ 10. Mr P., win or lose With Mr B., will fly a bird 150 miles, for £ 26.

THE £ 2,000 MATCH. TOM KING AND JACK HEENAN.— These giants must surrender, at the old drum, Mitre Tavern, Upper St Martin's- lane, in the court of Commissioner Langhara, on Thursday evening, July 30, at ten precisely, for the purpose of making good another dividend of £ 50 each for their approaching match. A large muster of Rum Puin Pas is expected to greet the heroes. Phil Benjamin will not take the chair. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. MACE AND RYALL.— The weekly instalment of £ 5 a side is again all right between these men, who must continue to post equal amounts every Friday till further notice. FIGHT FOR TUESDAY. YOUNG DOVE AND GOLLAGHER.— These lads made good their final deposit of £ 5 a side on Wednesday, July 22, at Jack Brown's, Two Brewers, Ewer- street, Gravel- lane, when the tsss for the weighing and choice of place came oft. The weighing is to take place at Mr Lipman's, King of Prussia, Middlesex- street, on Mor,- elay, July 27, at two o'clock, when Gollagher is not to exceed 8st 81b. Gollagher will be at Mr Lipman's and Dove at Mr Brown's, and at each of these houses and at Jack Hicks's the whereabouts may be learned. FIGHT FOE WEDNESDAY,— HAWKES AND WELSH.— The final deposit of £ 5 to £ 4 between Jerry Hawkes and Welsh of Birming- ham was made on Thursday, at J. Welsh's, Griffin, Church- street, Borough.; They fight on the home circuit on Wednesday, J uly 29, at catch weight, Hawkes staking £ 12 to £ 10. Welsh will be at Jemmy Welsh's, and Mr Clarke's, Goldsmith's Arms, Button- street, Clerkenwe'l; and Hawkes at Mr Saunder's, Greyhound, Webber- row, at which houses the fixture can be ascertained. BROWN AND KELLY.— This match, for £ 100 a side, did not come off last Tuesday. Kelly sent us the £ 5 that was due to us on his behalf, but on meeting his opponent at the ring side declined to fight unless under a referee appointed by us. This of course was tantamount to a refusal to fight at all, as it is contrary to our practice to appoint referees. A good deal of angry discussion took place, and various persons were selected by each side to fill the unenviable office, but without avail. Eventually both men left the ground unscathed. Brown writes to us that he will fight Kelly in the London or Birmingham district providing we ap- point a referee, and Kelly proposes to fight in London on the same understanding. Each makes out that he is the injured party, and calls upon us to decide. This we cannot do, and we positively decline to name a referee. If, however, the men really mean fighting in the London ring, and both write to us to that effect, we will endeavour to put them together in a satisfactory manner. MAHER AND REECE — The backers of Maher in this match, an account of which appeared in our last, state that, after the dis- turbance by the police, the referee ordered the men to meet at his house, in order that he might name a second time and place ; that a representative of Maher did attend, but that as Maher was not himself present the referee awarded the stakes to Reece. We are asked whether this was the proper course? to which we answer, certainly not; it was not necessary that Maher should be at the meeting. All the referee had to do was to name a place of fighting, and if Maher did not attend that appointment, then would have been the time to award the money to Reece. BOB TRAVERS AND JEM DILLON.— The final deposit for this important match is to be made on Wednesday, July 29, at Bob Travers's own house, the Sun and Thirteen Cantons, Castle- street, Leicester- square, when doubtless there will be a large muster. Both men are in strong work, and rumour says they are in tip top condition. DAVIS AND FOLEY.— The match, at catch weight, for £ 10, be- tween these Birmingham men, is going on. £ 2 10s a side is down in the hands of T. Cooper, of the Market Hall Tavern, Bell- street, the final stakeholder; a further deposit is to befmade on Monday, July 27, at the Anchor Inn, Sheep- street. They fight on the 10th August. Goss AND MACE.— The next deposit of £ 30 to £ 20 for this match is to be made on Thursday, July 30, at Mr Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Cliurch- street, Shoreditcb, when Mace hopes to meet his friends. BALDOCK AND GANNON.— These lads have come to the post with a fiver each, and must both present themselves on Wednesday, at Jemmy Shaw's, Queen's Head, Crown- court, to stake similar amounts.

G. OUGHTOH'S BENEFIT.— On Monday, July 20, there was a good muster of the metropolitan admirers of the sport assembled on J. Baum's enclosed ground, it being for the benefit of G. Oughton, who for many years has been known as a staunch sup- porter ot pedestrianisin, but who has of late had the misfortune to fall into difficulties. Hence the " rallying" of those friends who had known kim in prosperity to give a helping hand to one who was ever known to be himself ready to do his utmost to serve others. According to the programme the sports commenced with A 300 YARDS HANDICAP.— This was for a silver watch, and was contested by the following pedestrians:— First heat: G. Hannant scratch, C. Nightingale 10 yards start, W. Hall 25. A good race between Hall and Nightingale, and finished in Nightingale going in a fine winner.— Second heat: C. Crow 15, Bailey 30, J. Sullivan 30. Another good race, Crow the win- ner, Bailey next.— Third heat: J. Huxtable 8, W. Bradshaw 12, F. Setterfield 15, W. Anderson 15, an Unknown 30. After a rattling struggle from end to end, Anderson went by the goal a fine winner; Setterfield, who likewise ran remark- ably well, second.— Final heat: C. Nightingale 15, C. Crow 15, Anderson 30. These, being the three best " performers," had now to contend for the prize; and after a rattling race, Anderson, who maintained the advantage of the lead, went in a splendid winner, having Crow well up in the rear ; Nightingale a good third. VETERAN HANDICAP OF 80 YARDS.— This was for geld pin, and confined to pedestrians who had in years gone by gained celebrity in many a well- contested match. This affair created much interest, and brought together the following well- known men :— First heat: J. Fenton 2 yards start, W. Hannant 6, Jesse Smith 7, Old Spencer 10. A capital race, Fenton the winner by half a yard, Hannant next.— Second heat: H. A. Reed 2, W. Price 4, Murray's Man 6, J. Tisson 10. The lead was maintained by Tisson, who landed a fine winner, Murray's Man next; Price ( the M. C. of the ground) being third, and Reed, who was labouring under indisposition, finishing last.— Third heat: T. Schofield 2, C. Barrett 6, E. Spott 8. This was won by Barrett, Spott a good second, and Schofleld third.— Fourth heat: J. Mayne 6, Aitchin- son 8, Deserter 10. A finely- contested race, terminating in a dead heat between Aitchinson and Mayne. After a little rest, they came together to run off, when, as Aitchinson did not for some un- accountable reason go when the pistol was fired, Mayne ran over the ground by himself.— Final beat: J. Fenton 2, J. Tisson 10, C. Barrett 6, J. Mayne 6. Theee being the four successful compe- titors in the preliminary heats had now to run off, and after a fine race Barrett went in a winner by a foot; Mayne next, with the other two well up. THREE MILES HANDICAP.- This was for a silver cup, and was contested by the following pedestrians, who, according to the con- ditions of tiie handicap, started thus, viz :— B.

Price, but, without going into details of the running, it will be enough to state on th- f part of those men who ran the distance out that the race wa? splendidly contested, and finished in Brunell being the winner. Rowe second, Ray third, Old Spencer fourth ; these pedestrian! were the only men who ran the race out. Iii a idi ion to the above, there were also some sparring bouts in the r- « ; ulir roped ring by members of the P. R., and thus ter- minated a most excellent day's sport. PEDESTRIANISM AT WANDSWORTH. BUTTON AND WALKER.— On Saturday, July 18, these pedes- trians met here to run 440 yards, for £ 5 a side, there being pre- sent a strong muster of the respective partisans of the men. Mr Gamble was chosen referee. The men on getting off ran well together for about 150 yards, when Button went away from his man and won as he liked. BLANDFORD AND STANLEY.— These men likewise ran 100 yards, for £ 5 a side, on the above ground. The odds were 6 to" 4 on Blandford, but there was little or no money speculated. In ar- ranging the preliminaries, Mr Peckworth was chosen referee. On going off Blandford obtained a trifle the best of the start, and after a fine race landed at the goal a clever winner by a good yard. CITY GROUNDS, QUARRY GAP, BRADFORD.

SATURDAY, JULY 18.— DOG HANDICAP.— The concluding heats of this handicap, the prizes in which amounted to £ 10, came off this afternoon, in the presenoe of about 300 persons, and pro- duced some good sport.

Booth's Butterfly ( of Oldham), 171b, 80 yards start 1; Sykes's, Fan ( of Almondbury), 13Hb 27 2; and Hitchens's Wallace ( of Oldham), 251b 40 8. A capital race was won by half a yard, 6in separating the second and third. The arrangements were highly satisfactory to those present. SPORTS AT THE CAVALRY DEPOT, CANTERBURY.— On Thurs- day, July 25, the annual sports indulged in by the whole of the military comprising the depot at Canterbury came off in the pre- sence of many hundreds of spectators, in front of the officers' quarters. Flat races, hurdle races, broad jumping and high jump- ing, were the programme of the amusements, and the substantial prizes effered were competed for by officers, non- commissioned officers, and privates. The Officers' Handicap 8weepstakes, con- sisting of a handsome silver cup, was won by Capt Chichester, of the lst Dragoon Guards, who accomplished a run of 120 yards in capital time. Berg Andrew won the race devoted to competition by men of his rank. The amusement afforded much enjoyment. " At Canterbury, on Monday, a good deal of interest was felt in the arrival of Wra. Mountjoy, who had matched himself to walk from Finn's Tower Inn, Canterbury, to the Harp Tavern, at Rams- gate, and back, twice, for six successive days ( distance 68 miles), the backers of time laying the odds of £ 12 to £ 8. Mountjoy com- menced his task early on Monday morning, and got through half his allotted task in seven hours and 25 minutes, but on Tuesday he was seized with cramp, after gamely doing 34 miles, and was compelled to give up. The opponent of Mountjoy has now bet him that he does not accomplish 50 miles a day for four succes- sive days. BRUNELL AND ANDREWS.— GREAT SPORT ON MONDAY, JULY 27, AT HACKNEY WICK.— The dead heat at five miles will be de- cided between the Bounding Brunell and Old Harry Andrews at Mr Baum's ground, on Monday, July 27.

Another £ 10 aside is staked; they meet as above to decide, and, according to the conditions of the original handicap, Harry Andrews will receive a start of 50 yards of Ben Brunell, the gallant winner to take the cup and £ 20.

It is expected that the subscription lists will be well filled, most of the gentlemen having taken the matter up very warmly. NORTH v SOUTH OF ENGLAND. On July 20 and foliowing^ days Lord's Ground was visited by a large attendance of spectators to witness this interesting contest. Last year this match was played for Grundy's benefit, when the North ( R. Daft 118) won in one innings and 10 runs. On this occasion they have again proved successful, but not so easily, Anderson, Grundy, Tarrant, and Wootton being foi- midj. bie. oppo- nents to the Southern counties, which, however, might have been more strongly represented. Mortlock was unable to play, owing to illness. The wickets were in good order, and the North, having won the toss, sent in Rowbotharn and Tarrant, to the bowling of Griffith and Bennett. The first ball of Griffith Rowbotham very kindly drove away for 6. Both bowlers were punished until 40 runs had been scored, when Wiilsher was sub- srituted for the Surrey left- handed bawler; his third over disposed of Tarrant, thus the first wicket fell for 43 runs. Rowbotham drove back to the bowler, playing a brilliant hitting innings of 34, comprising a six, a four ( drive from Bennett), three threes, four twos, & c— total 57. Anderson exhibited a fine display, until Willsher got one by, he having contributed 22, by two fours ( drives), a three, three twos, and singles; three for 79. Hay- ward then drove back, and had to retire ; four wickets down for 94 runs. Parr soon followed, and thus five wickets leli lor 96 runs. Grundy made a four, a three, & c, and was the sixth wicket for 107 runs. Carpenter went the seventh — total the same; he made a four ( drive from Bennett), a two, and singles. Bignall went the eighth— total 116. Biddulph, the ninth, went for 134, and as Wootton could not manage to stop with Jack- son, the innings was all over for 145, Jackson contributing a good not out innings of 23, composed of two fives, a two, and singles. At 3: 40 the South side was represented by Hearne and E. M. Grace, who made it warm before separating. Tarrant and Jackson started, but both got punished fearfully ; at 65 runs Wootton was put on at Jackson's end, and in the seventh over, with the assist- ance of point, Hearne had to retire, contributing 36, by three fours, a three, five twos, & c ; total 93. The next telegraph infor- mation was two wickets for 103, Willsher making a four and a three. Grundy had been put on at Tarrant's end when 85 runs were scored. Bennett went the third, total 112, Mr Grace still per- forming in his usual style, and, with H. H., increased the score to 137 runs. Mr Benthall joined Mr Grace, when the latter had to succumb to a slip, playing a brilliant innings of 73, composed of two fives ( leg hit from Jackson and a cut from Woctton), five fours, four threes, eight twos, & c. Mr Grace was loudly ap- plauded on leaving the wicket. Total, five wickets for 147 runs. The sixth ( Mr Benthall's) went for 149, and the seventh ( Mr Traiil's) for 155; the eighth ( Griffith's) for 163; the ninth ( Sewell's) for 171. The latter sent the ball to the entrance gate, for which he scored five; he also made a drive from Wootton for five. The innings terminated, leaving the Southern team in a majority of 39. Grundy bowled exceedingly well, and Wootton, as usual, was well on the spot. Very little piay took placa on l'ussday, owing to rain. On Wednesday the North sent in Bignall and Jackson, Willsher and Bennett bowling. Jackson, in the second over of Willsher's, was given out leg b w— sum total 5 runs. Rowbotham was caught at the wicket; thus two fell for 15, and the third ( Bignall's) went for 17 runs, of which he contributed 13 by a four, two twos, & c. Hayward was caught long slip, trying to " at- tempt;" thus four fell for 25. Carpenter, the fifth wicket, went for a total of 59, he being well caught at long square leg by Mr Grace. Parr was caught in the same place; six for 78. Tarrant at short leg; seven for 79. Anderson, who had exhibited a masterly display of the game, was then caught by the new wicket- keeper, Griffith; his figures were a five ( drive from Willsher), two fours ( leg- hits from Bennett), four threes, seven twos, and singles; his— the eighth— wicket fell for 102. The two Notting- ham bowlers then made a stand, and increased the score to 137, when the new Surrey wicket- keeper informed Grundy that he had to go, but not before he had scored 27 by three threes, three twos, & c. Wootton gavo short leg a skyer, having put together 19, by a four ( drive from Bennett), two threes, a two, and singles. The innings closed at 2: 40 on Wednesday for 146, thus leaving the . South 108 to get to win, which they failed in accomplishing by 30, Tarrant and Grundy being " ail'there." Mr Grace was caught at the wicket the second bull. The match terminated at a quarter past five o'clock in favour of the North by 29 runs. Score: NORTH. 1st inn 2d inn J. Rowbotham. c and b Bennett 21 c SteDher. son, b Willsher 2 G.

KENT v SURREY. JULY 16.— This match, the return between these two counties, was commenced at the Oval on Thursday week. Surrey lost the toss ( for the second time only this season), and at 12: 15 took their places in the field, Mr G. M. Kelson and Bennett being at the wickets. Griffith and Caffyn started bowling, Lockyer at his old place, Mortlock long- stop, Ca; sar point, and Pooley at long- leg for Mr Miller, who, we are sorry to say, was too unwell to put in an appearance. Off Griffith's first ball Mr Kelson made a splendid cut for five. Caffyn started with a maiden, but in the fourth over Bennett got him to leg for four, and followed it up in his next by a beautiful cut for five. Runs came in steadily, and Sewell was substituted for Griffith; total 36. At 50 up Mortlock went on at Caffyn's end, and effected the desired result in separating the two first, batsmen, Bennett being stumped by Lockyer oft his second over; first wicket for 58. Goodhew joined Mr Kelson, but added only two to the score. Willsher followed, and was stuck up by the slows, giving a chance to Griffith at mid- wicket, which was accepted; two wickets for 67, three far 68. MrWathen then joined Mr Kelson, who had been playing a steady game, but, nevertheless, opening his shoulders to any loose one. * Mr Kelson had notice to quit, being clean bowled by Mortlock; four wickets for 69. His score of 42 consisted of one five ( cut off Griffith), two fours ( drive off Griffith and a cut off Caffyn), four twos, and singles. Mr W. 8. Norton ( whose peculiar style of playing the slows ex- cited some amusement among the bystanders) joined Mr Wathen, but the latter was dismissed by Sewell. The Kent eleven seemed unable to do anything with the slows, Mr B. Norton bcingbowled and Mr Traill caught by Caffyn mid- wicket off Mortlock ; six for 92, seven for 98. Weninan, who came next, ntade it rather warm for the field; he scored 29, consisting of one five, two fours, one three, one two, and singles, and was caught by Locky er off Mdeb- lock ; eight for 144. Fryer followed, and with Mr Norton brought on Stephenson at Griffith's end ; he was caught by Pooley at long square- leg after scoring 17; nine for 169. Staines brought up the rear, but only scored a brace when he was bowled by Mortlcck, Mr Norton bringing out his bat for a well earned score of 34, for which he was deservedly applauded; ten wickets for 171. Surrey commenced their innings at 5: 5, Mr Traill and Willsher bowling, Mortlock and Humphrey batting. The former commenced busi- ness immediately by hitting Willsher to leg for a couple, and soon after driving Mr Traill for 5. At 30 up a change of bowling was thought necessary, and Bennett ( underhand slow) was substituted for Mr Traill. Runs still came apace, and at 60 up Mr W. S. Norton went on at Willsher's end. After bowling half- a- dozen overs Ben- nett changed to his slow round- arm teasers, but produced no imme diate effect. When Humphrey had obtained 30 he was cleverly caught at the wicket by Staines, off Bennett; first wioket for 86. Stephenson came next, but soon lost his companion, Mortlock, who was, like Humphrey, nailed by Staines, off Bennett. He made 55, consisting of one five, three fours, two threes, & c; two wickets for 95. Caffyn followed, and, after making three singles, was nicked at the wicket by Staines, off Bennett, thus making three men in succession he had secured. Three wickets now down for 103. Griffith here joined 8tephenson, and, after scoring a single, gave a simple chance to Bennett at mid- wicket, which was thankfully accepted; four for 108. Mr Dowson came next, and with Ste- phenson brought on Willsher at Mr Norton's end, 120 up. Mr- Dowson had notice to quit, being bowled by Willsher, after a plucky and useful innings of 17; five for 157. Tom Lockyer fol- lowed, and immediately lost the companionship of Stephenson, who was bowled by Bennett for 41, consisting of ( » iie five, on © four, five threes, & c; six wickets for 157. Lockyer was joined by Sewell, and at 170 up " old Tom" was caught by Goodhew ( long- field) off Bennett for 11. Ctesar came next, but Sewell did not stay long with him, being caught by Mr B. Norton ( mid- wicket) off Willsher for 5; eight for 179. Jupp followed, and some good cricket ensued. C; esar was eventually bowled by Mr W. 8. Norton, after an innings of 32, consisting of four fours ( principally leg hits), one three, two twos, and singles ; nine for 221. Pooley was last man, and after making a four to leg off Mr Traill, was bowled by Mr Norton, Jupp taking out his bat for 17 ; total, 227, or 56 on. After the usual interval, Wenman and Mr Kelson went to the wickets, Mortlock and Griffith bowling. The first ball Mortlock delivered Wenman, in playing back, managed to dislodge a bail; first for 0. Mr W. S. Norton followed, and runs ca i e in fast, Mr Kelson hitting very freely, and Mr Norton play- ing in his own style. At 35 up Sewell went on at Griffith's en'd, but with no effect. At 59 up Caffyn superseded Mortlock. Mr Norton then had to give way, being very cleverly run out by Pooley; two for 61. Willsher came and added 14, when he was bowled by Sewell, after he and Mr Kelson had run up the score to 103 by good steady cricket. Bennett next appeared, and a slight mistake in making a run occurred, which resulted in his being run out; three and four for 103. Goodhew was next in order, and after scoring 15, was diddled by Mortlock, who had resumed the bowling at Caffyn's end; five for 128. Mr Traill came next, and made 21, by a five, a four ( both drives), & c ; he was bowled by a " break- back" by Lockyer, who had taken Mort- iock's end; six for 178. Mr Wathen followed, and after increasing the score to 210, lost his companion, Mr Kelson, who had played a truly tine innings of 122. His score was made up by a six, a five, five fours, & c. He was missed once badly by Sewell, but it was a " liot- un.'' Mr Wathen marked 42 ( not out), and with this exception no other stand was made. The innings amounted to 247, leaving Surrey 192 to win. Mortlock and Jupp started batting, Willsher and Mr W. S. Norton bowling. After scoring 20 Mortlock got his leg in front of his wicket, and had to retire; one for 42. Stephenson now joined Jupp, and, extraor- dinary as it may seem, these two batsmen pulled off the required number of rnns without losing their wickets.

The toss was won by Surrey, who elected to go in first, to the bowling of Mr Howsin and Griffith ; Messrs Dow- son and Fowler at the wickets. Mr Dowson njude a very fine innings of 82, and Mr Fowler a well- got 36. Mr V. E. Walker also played finely for his 75, and Mr Little a rapid innings of 30, Surrey finishing their innings for 309. At a quarter to six South Wales commenced their innings, but only Messrs Wallace, How- sin, and Crawshay made a stand, to the bowling of Messrs V. E. Walker and Calvert. Mr Howsin played well for his 46, out of which he had one nine, being a hit for five and an over- throw of four. The innings terminated for 159, consequently they had tQ follow their innings, when they lost three wigliets for 27 runs,- Mr Howsin ( not out) 26.

AND GROUND v SOUTH WALES CLUB- JULY 23 & 24 — The South Wales gentlemen, who in such a cricketing spirit annually come to town, played their third match at Lord's, on Thursday and Friday last, and having won the toss, commenced operations by sending Messrs E. M. Grace and Howsin to the wickets, to the bowling of Hearne and Nixon. Runs were quickly obtained, and nearly all the eleven contributed their share; total score 211. Mr Bishop distinguished himself by a remarkably steady innings of 42, and was presented with a bat by the captain. Messrs Williams and Llewellyn played a very fine innings of 32 ( not out) and 29 respectively. The M. C. O. then took their innings, but could make no stand against the insinuating slows of Mr E M. Grace, who took seven wickets, with the ex- ception of T. Hearn, who quickly put together 28 in good style; and of Mr Monevpenny, who played a very steady innings of 18 ; the total score was 87, and being thus in a minority of 124 the M. C. C. had to follow their innings. Their second innings proved even less satisfactory, and though Messrs Parnell, Hall, ar- d Nixon played well, the total only reached 67, thus leaving the South Wales gentlemen victorious in one innings and 57 runs. The bowling and fielding of the South Wales Eleven were first- rato, and good cricket was shown on both sides. Score: SOUTH WALES. E. M. Grace, bNixon .13 | W. Crawshay, rnnoat ..., 14 C.

ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v TWENTY- TWO OF BASINGSTOKE AND DISTRICT. This match was played in Ackwood Park on July 16 and 17, and ended in an easy victory for the Eleven in one innings and 125 runs to spare. The play on the part of the Eleven was very line. Carpenter and Grace were at the wickets a long time, against all s ® rts of bowling. Tarrant was rather lucky in his innings. Hayward caught in slips off the slows. Parr, Clarke, and Tinley were very busy whilst at the wickets. Of the play of the Twenty- two we have not much to record; they were very weak. Holmes was the only one who played in any form. Tinley's slows were too much for them. Jackson's bowling was very fine. Score: ALL ENGLAND. G. Parr, c Bell, b Lilly white ... .21 Lord H. Paget, b Holmes C A. Clarke, c Wyatt, b Holmes . .31 R.

JULY 23.— The return match between these counties was com- menced on Thursday, July 23, at Swift's Park, Cranbrook. The weather was very fine, and the ground in good cendition. There was a tolerably good company towards the afternoon. Kent took the innings, and Bennett and Mr Kelson went in first, to the bowling of Jackson and Grundy. Bennett made a cut for three from Jackson's second over, and Mr Kelson three in the slips from Grundy's second. Bennett had made 7, and the total was 13, when his ( the first) wicket fell. It was only increased two when Mr Kelson's ( the second) was well bowled. Willsher was caught by the long- stop after making a single off Grundy and receiving two maiden overs from Jackson. Goodhew's ( the fourth) wicket fell for 18. Mr Wathen now joined Wenman, and a stand was made for some time ; the former made a fine cut for three, and two to leg from Jackson, and a drive for two, and a cut for three fromGrundy; Wenman also madea fine leg hit, which passed under the ropes, for three, and had previously driven Grundy for three— his ( the fifth) fell for 43. Mr Wathen was bowled soon after. Mr Traill joined. him, and was followed by Fryer ( sixth, 45). Fryer was caught by the bowler without scoring, but by this time Mr Traill had made a fine off- drive for three from each bowler ( seventh 51, eighth 54). Mr Barber was joined by Mr Andrews, and had made a fine square- leg hit for 3, when the latter was caught at mid off; ninth for 57. Mr Barber was bowled by a shooter, and the innings closed for 58. The Notting- ham Eleven commenced their innings with C. Daft and Big- nail, and no wicket was down at dinner time, but almost mmediately after Bignall was caught by the bowler for two, and the total 2. Clarke joined C. Daft, and soon made a two to leg, and a single from Willsher, and a three to square leg from Bennett. Clarke was succeeded by R. Daft, when the total was 10. The great Nottingham batsman played some good bowling, and had made an off drive for two, and cut in the slips for three from Bennett, and singles at each end, when he returned one of the slows to mid- off; third for 22. G. Parr and C. Daft caused a change of bowling, Fryer taking Willsher's end, and the left- handed bowler changing ends. The total stood at 4- 5 when Parr was well bowled. Grundy and C. Daft raised it to 57, when the former was caught at short- leg. Brampton just arrived at Cranbrook in time to join C. Daft, who was saon after run out by a fine throw in by Mr Traill from long- slip, he having made 20 by very steady play ; his hits were three threes and singles; sixth for 61. Jackson filled the vacancy, and for a time played very steadily, while Brampton made some fine cuts and drives; 75 was put up, and then Bennett relieved Willsher, and soon after Mr Traill took Fryer's end, then Mr Kelson followed him. By this time Jackson had been hitting well, but the latter part of his in- nings was not spotless. The score was increased to 120, when Willsher came on again for a time, but was followed by Goodhew, and Bennett took Mr Kelson's place. Brampton, after having played a fine innings of 27, including three threes and five twos, was caught at long- slip, when the total was 136, for seven wickets down. Tinley had joined Jackson, and the total been raised to 168, when time was called. Jackson ( not out) 61, Tinley ( not out) 10. The match was brought to a conclusion on Friday in favour of Notts by 177 runs and one innings. We give the full score, and will give particulars in our next. Score: KENT. 1st inn 2d inn G.

SWIMMING.— RACE FOR SIR W. FRASER'S GOLD MEDAL.— On Wednesday evening, July 22, the gold medal presented by Sir W. Fraser to encourage the public generally to acquire the very useful but much- neglected art of swimming, was competed for in the Thames, at Hammersmith, the Council of the Royal Humane Society being appointed the adjudicators by the donor. There was a numerous attendance, amongst whom were several noblemen and gentlemen, and no less than 22 competitors ap- peared at the post, the race being from the Doves, at Hammer- smith, to the point below Craven. After an excellent contest the medal was won by Henry Gurr ( 1 § years) ; - md Coulter, of the Serpentine Club, took the second prize, given by the London Swimming Club. CRYSTAL PALACE.— Eeturn of admissions for six days ending Saturday, July 25 ( including season ticket holders), 68,965. THE RGUPELL CASE.— At the conclusion of the summing up the jury retired, and, having been unable to come to any decision after six hours' deliberation, were discharged at half- past ten on Friday night. ACCIDENT TO SIR CRESSWELL CRESSWELL.— The leaned judge of the Divorce Court met with a serious accident on Saturday, July 18, his horse felling with him and fracturing his knee cap. He was taken to St George's Hospital, near which the accident happened, and thence, to his own house, where he is doing favour- ably. For t& 6 third year ift succession thfe loyal Agricultural Society has now made an offer of a hundred for a sight of the thorough bred horse best calculated to improve the breed of the sound and lhe stout for general stud purposes. This brought to Worcester on Monday an entry of just a dozen, and as the judges highly commended the whole class, the further trial of such an experi- ment may be regarded as in every way satisfactory. Without staying here to inquire how far so wholesale a compliment was really merited, we may say that the horses that shared this flattering return, amongst them were:— Mr Miles' Eouble, by Cossack; Mr Devereux's Ancient Briton, by Cotherstone; Mr Painter's Plum Pudding, by Sweetmeat; Colonel Fitzhardinge Berkeley's Malek, by Stockwell; Mr Simpson's Cavendish, by Voltigeur; Mr Gulliver's Neville, by Napier; Mr Batty's Con- script, by Voltigeur; Mr Phillips' Cambondo, by Orpheus; Mr Saxon's Lord Albemarle, by The Emperor ; Mr Wardle's Cawood, by the Cure; Sir Williamson Booth's Stampedo, by Alarm; and Mr Boughton Knight's Merryman, by Hobbie Noble. The three gentlemen who undertook the duty of placing these all moreor less known horses were the Hon Colonel Cotton, who was in office at Leeds and in Battersea Park; Mr Charles Barnett, the master of the Cambridgeshire Foxhounds, and Mr Henry Thurnall, of Eoyston, one of the most experienced horse judges in the king- dom, and almost invariably retained in such a capacity by the National Society. This distinguished trio began at, eight o'clock in the morning with, in the first place, the preliminary inspection of every horse as brought into the ring single handed ; and Rouble, taking precedence by liis number in the catalogue, accordingly led the way. He is a level, hunting- looking bay, with rather small thighs and hocks, and light of bone ; as neat as need be, but with not much character about him, although he evidently made some impression upon their worships. Ancient Briton had more wear about him, being a muscular, wiry horse, with good shoulders, fine quarters, and lengthy thighs, though with too much daylight under him, and not a very prepossessing expres- sion of countenance. Malek, a weak- necked, stiity, fiat- sided animal, and Plum Pudding, well christened, for he is as round as a dumpling, both went back without finding much favour either irom within or without the magic circle; whereas Cavendish, a fine framed muscular horse, with many of Voltigeur's best points— good bone and certain signs of a stout hardy constitution— had many friends, and it was pretty clear that we should see him again before the bench. He was succeeded by Neville, a terribly coarse horse, with a vulgar heavy neck, round low withers, and weak arms; while his elbows were pinned in, and his long weak pasterns brought his fetlock joints nearly on to the ground. As a saving point, however, the Cleveland bay was blessed with fine flashy action, throwing his legs about in every direction, as if his feet had been encased in sand bags. It was just the going, in fact, to please a Piccadilly dealer, but anything but what should really recommend a riding horse, be his mission the. Turf, the Chase, or the Road. Still the judges hung to Neville amazingly, and it was some time before they passed on to Conscript, a common, under- bred, sickle- hocked horse, in nice antithesis to Cambondo, the prettiest nag on the ground, and who never looked better. His head and neck are nearly perfect, while he has good limbs and a capital loin; but he is rather short and very deficient in his back ribs. Still he was wonderfully well made up, and when he first came out looked as round as a barrel, but some twenty minutes on the fret gradually reduced his waspish carcase to its original proportions, tiiough Cambondo to the last had many admirers. Lord Albemarle, a mottled bay, with a short switch tail, seemed more fit for carrying a colonel at the head of a marching regiment than winning a royal hundred; but Stampedo, long, low, and. powerful, with a fine top and a blood- like character, was a horse of quite another colour, and his infirm hocks, which he inherits from his dam, alone prevented him taking some rank. Merry- man, the once famous two year old, but whose duty is now to get hunters in the Ludlow country, was the last of the lot, and he looked better in his box than out of it. When you get a fair sight of him he is at best but a short cobby horse, with his neck badly set on to his shoulder, and he terribly disappointed many who at the first glance thought more of his merits. Of course he was drafted; and Rouble, Cavendish, Neville, and Cambondo re- called, over whose several capabilities the judges ultimately de- cided in this wise:— For the Thorough Bred Stud Horse ( having served mares during the season 1863), which, in the opinion of the judges, is best calculated to improve and perpetuate tbe breed of the sound and stout thorough bred horses for general stud purposes. First prize of £ 100, Mr W. Gulliver's, of Swalcliffe, Banbury, b h Neville, 12 yrs, by Napier out of Sally Snobs, by Sandbeck. Second prize of £ 25, Mr E. G. Simpson's, of Levent Bridge, Yarrn, br h Cavendish, 7 yrs, by Voltigeur out of the Countess of Burlington, by Touchstone. Third prize, silver medal, Mr H. E. Phillips' of Willesden Pad- docks, Kilburn, ch h Cambondo, 6 yrs, by Orpheus out of Ca- melia, by Hampton. The next class to which Messrs Barnett, Cotton, and Thur- nall directed their attention is one that sounds as somewhat superfluous, so long as the hundred pounds offer remains on the prize list. This other follows on with a couple of smaller premiums for " stallions suitable for getting hunters ;" just, in fact, what the thorough bred horses should be suitable for if they are fit for anything. In a very mixed company the first prize of £ 25 went here to Mr Barnett, of Cheltenham, for the well- known steeple chaser Sir Peter Laurie, by The Saddler, a varmint old nag, but that now in his nineteenth year naturally shows some signs of age. He is gone in the back, is long in the neck, light in the girth, and high on the leg; and thus, upon any show- ing but his performances over a country, scarcely the model of a stallion for getting hunters. The second best was Mr Batty's Elcot, by Defence, a horse with a slight stain in his pedi- gree, but that is said to be getting some very good hunting stock in Yorkshire. He is a shorHegged, deep- framed, compact animal, showing a deal of character, but with his appearance much disfigured by a terribly capped hock. Mr Watson's third prize horse, Safeguard, by Safeguard, is of just the right stamp for a 12 stone hunter in his own proper person, but lacking blood to go on with, and to get others like him. The fourth horse, Mr Allender's Bromley, by Marsyas, is big enough for anything; Weapon, a short- legged bay, with no breeding about him; The Falcon, a mere gig horse; Brilliant, acoaeher; Master Martin, a pony; President Junior, a trotting cob; Johnson's Emperor, a Cleveland bay; Young Perfect, another carriage horse; Lough Bawn, a light- middled, leggy chesnut weaver; and Excelsior, another trotting cob, " suitable for getting hunters'' to carry really hard riders— on the road. Of a far higher character was Mr Clayton's Whitmore, by West Australian out of Harriet, by Pyrrhus the First, a four year old chesnut of beautiful symmetry, low and lengthy, but rather small below the knee; while he was kept in countenance by Mr Robinson's Solferino, by Mel- bourne out of Pandora, by Cain or Cadland, another long, deep ribbed horse, with many good points, but a somewhat heavy neck. He is, moreover, a fine mover, tkough with a slight string- halt, and certainly looked as like getting hunters as anything in the class. As with Whitmore, however, Solferino was amongst the earliest ordered off, whether as disqualified or not by the veterinary inspector we will not undertake to say. Taking a general review of this class, what with the machiners, trotters, car- riage horses, and the other animals of which it was composed, we cannot but look upon it as a sheer mistake and utter waste of money, affording little point or illustration of the principle or practice of breeding hunters. So curious a want of uniformity was perhaps never seen before, and as we hope never will be again. The first prize for brood mares for breeding hunters fell deservedly enough to Mr Watson, of Waresley, forLalarge, by Epirus, a fine blood- like mare, with good shoulders and capital action, just the one, in fact, for her purpose. The second best, Mr Heygate's Whisky, by Windhound, is a wild, lengthy, three cornered animal, of nothing; like equal fashion, and Mr Boughton Knight's Saltfish, placed third, a roomy one of some better character about her. The first hackney for the stud of the companion class was a very neat little fifteen hands mare, the property of Mr Percy of Esk- rigg, bred in the North, and by the Judge; with a Welsh gallo- way for second, shown bv Mr. Walker Urwick, of Leinthali, near Ludlow. Mr M'Kensie Kettle sent a very clever bay called Cyg- net ; and Mr Cook, of Stamford, near Worcester, another stylish old mare by Physician, but with the set- off' of a rather mean quarter. Having got through the legitimate business of the day, Colonel Cotton and his coadjutors, Messrs Barnett and Thurnall, were requested to take one more class, as arranged by the Wor- cester local committee, and which included a first prize of £ 20 and a second of £ 10, for mares or geldings exceeding four years old, and equal to 15 stone with hounds. No fewer than twenty- seven were nominated as equal to this, and nearly every one of them was sent ; the result being, unquestionably, the finest public show of hunters that we ever inspected. Fifteen stone, however, would have been rather a steadier to many of these, and thirteen much nearer their mark over a country. Still it was a grand sight as they paraded the ring in company, and we remember nothing better, save it were our day last spring in the Long Stable at Quorn. The majority of these weight carriers had tlio now indispensable recommendation of being by a thorough bred horse, and the four specially distinguished beyond the gene- ral commendation had all their pure strain of blood on the right side, a pretty good argument for the Society to abandon their mixed class of trotters and coachers as stallions to get hunters ! But it was long before the judges could cut their field down to four, and many was the circuit before a horse was drafted. One of the first to go, however, was Mr Ruck's Steam Plough, by Pottin- ger, an immense chesnut that has been carrying 20 stone to hounds, and that backs his size and power with light corky action, while he has the character of a perfect hunter in the field. Still he had hardly quality enough for the show ring, although a four hundred guineas horse in the market. Of a very different stamp was my Lord Coventry's Pelican, by The Era, a nag that looked a deal more like scram- bling for a fifty in a steeple chase scurry than carrying 15 stone to hounds. Of the more famous there was Mr Gilford's Vanderdecken horse, that we spoke so favourably of last season when he won at Stamford and Leicester. He has gone on well since, and has thickened considerably, but he still seems to want rousing, and looked to more advantage in his box than he did in the ring. Mr Robinson's Little Bobby, by Motley, is another well- known prize horse, and a very neat one too, but a little over weighted here ; while Mr Watkins'. Elastic, by Teddington, is a fine, lengthy mare of high quality, but with a heavy shoulder, and not so good going as to stand alongside of; though Lord Coventry fancied her. Mr Wheeler sent a very clever, gentlemanly old chesnut from Tenbury that, on the contrary, commanded a deal of attention when out; and Mr Bicknell, of Whitchurch, another old- un, well named Perfection, and in disputably the finest stamp of a hunter of anything in the class. There was something of a by- gone character about him, or at any rate something we see too little of in these days— the Lord Jersey style of horse of five- and- twenty years since, with famous shoulders, rare thighs and quarters, a good barrel, and, if we may so use the phrase, the true " expression" of the English hunter all over him— fast enough to live with hounds, and stout enough to carry a weight up to them. But the bay horse at twelve years old showed signs that he had not been kept merely to look at; his legs were getting a little round, though his action was still undeniable, and with some reluctance the judges eventually turned their backs upon Perfection. A much younger and fresher one was Mr J. P. Smith's four year old chesnut, by Voivode, a mare beginning well, with a nice head and neck, a fine frame, large limbs and joints, and at the same time showing a deal of blood. We think that these two — old Perfection and the Lower Wick mare— were well worthy of some special notice which, however, the judges refused them, with their first choice going pretty unanimously to Mr J. B. Booth's Beechweod, so far as previous success is concerned, about the most famous horse in the Ring. He has been first in Yorkshire over and over again, and turned the tables on the Clumsy horse by beating him at Guisborough after their encounter at York. It is many a day since we gave Beech wood a character as a good- looking horse, and one that he has proved by carrying more than 14 stone to hounds during the past season. Not content with this, however, there was an evident desire to qualify him for the class by making him look as big as possible, and Mr Booth had fed up his horse as highly as he would have done one of his prize short- horns. As a consequence, his nag was never seen to less advantage, and the heaps of unnecessary flesh on him made his al- ways rather vulgar quarter and ragged tail look coarser than ever. When only reduced a little we are quite sure that we should only like the bay horse far better, for he has good shoulders, deep ribs, smart action, and other fine points that need by no means be covered with fool's fat. In our own opinion, as in that of many others who watched the decision, the preference was between the Killerby nag and Perfection, but the judges eventually settled it in this way:— The first prize of £ 20 to Mr J. B. Booth's bg Beech wood, 5 yrs, by Lancewood; and the second prize of £ 10 to MrJ. G. Watkins' b m Elastic, 5 yrs, by Teddington; while they highly commended Mr Watkins' second entry, a brown, by Charles XII., a fine- shaped old mare, but with a loaded shoulder; and a four year old chesnut, the property of Mr Jones of Cannon Bridge, and a son of old Hereford. They generally commended the rest of the class, which included Mr Percy's Blitterlees, a low, shortrlegged young horse of some promise; Mr Sargeant's Bril- liant, a fine goer, but light in the bone; Mr Morris's Merlin; Mr Theyer's Confederate, light and neat; and Mr Hughes's Downton, by Emperor, all deserving, beyond those we have already referred to, of " honourable mention. '* Another set of riding- horse judges— Messrs J. Parrington, from Brancepeth, J. E. Welby, of Barrowby, and J. E. Bennett, of Bosworth— took the odds and ends of this section, including the hackney brood mares; but their investigations excited but comparatively little interest, and they had not much to work upon. The stallion ponies were a very indifferent class, and Mr Moffatt's winner, with a heavy neck and thick shoulders, made a deal of fuss in getting over very little ground. Of the two prize animals we prefer ' the second, Mr Edwards' Dick, a far more Stylish pony, with better action ; and, save on the showing of mere coarseness— by no means a point in picking a pony— it is difficult to account for the first honours going the other way. In the companion lot of mares Mr Branwhite was again pro- nounced to have the best in Pretty Lass, the Ipswich prize pony, and one that we spoke of a week or two since as pre- emi- nently distinguished by the fatal defect of bad action. One of Mr Fulcher's match harness mares was selected for second, and a better chesnut of Mr Knight's for third. Amongst the cobs, the style, breeding, and action of Mr Bran- white's clever chesnut, Quicksilver, who won in Suffolk, and that, as we said at the time, " went on to Worcester with a character," could net be well missed, and he took the first prize of £ 10 ; ano- ther of Mr Branwhite's, but very common by comparison, ranking as next, while the fired hocks of his roan mare put her out of it, or otherwise she has fine shoulders and good action ; and, in fact, the Long Melford stud, numbering four entries out of nine, had it all their own way ; a nicish blood hack of Mr Moffatt's being the only other worth looking at. These same three judges took a deal of time and trouble over a couple of classes of young things, en- tered upon the very liberal conditions of " likely to make hunters or carriage horses." Amongst the three year olds the first prize went, to Mr Sheldon, of Brailes, for a plain- headed colt by Barn- ton, but with a good frame of his own, and promising to grow into a hunter; while Mr White, of Lindoes, took second with a Peter Laurie filly, showing blood and substance, and well bred, indeed, on either side. Mr Baker's best two year old was a very promising colt by Ethelbert, of a bad spotted colour, but with straight, true action; and the second- best a blood- like son of The Great Unknown, the property of Mr Allsopp, of Hindlip. There were two or three nice ones in this lot, but the machiners pre- dominated amongst the three year olds. It would be unfair to conclude this paper on the Worces- ter Horse Show without, some reference to the official report presented by Professor Varnell, the new veterinary inspec- tor, a gentleman who performed his duties with ability and discretion, without ever attempting any unnecessary interference, or arrogating to himself any influence not properly within his province. The result of his inspection of the several horse classes is very satisfactory, enabled as the Professor is to congratulate the Council on the noticeable absence of cemplaints of any hereditary nature, which on the whole of the entries did not exceed six per cent, a return that stands in very favourable contrast to the ex- perience of some former meetings. The infirm horses, in fact, traced their ailments more to hard work than anything else; while in the thorough bred stallion class there were only two roarers ; in the yet larger field of hunter stallions, as so called, only one roarer, and in the grand lot of weight- carrying hunters, not a horse amongst them with his pipes out of order. This same class of horses in work was pronounced to be unusually free from disease in the feet and legs, and only two of the race horses could be condemned for spavins or curbs; but in the mixed class of hunter and roadster sires, unsoundness of this character was more prevalent. The ponies obtained a yet cleaner bill of health, being pretty com- monly passed as " all right;" and the heavy draught horses showed proportionate improvement in this way, with very few roarers, and an almost general freedom from other hereditary taint amongst the stallions, try where you would in the Shires, Drays, or Suffolks. In concluding this very encouraging statement, Professor Varnell attributes any such wholesome re- form amongst the exhibitors to the preliminary certificate of soundness, which for the last year or two has been required to accompany the entry of every herse intended for exhibition. And yet, strange to say, from the day when the examination of the local veterinarian was insisted upon, there have been two or three members of the Council continually moving to have such a reso- lution rescinded! But, fortunately, the sound sense of their fel- lows has stayed the Society from marching backwards. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS. MONDAY — CANADIAN CORN.— The Duke of ARGYLL pre- sented a petition from Sheffield, asking that the Government would give facilities for establishing a ship canal from Lake Erie to the Ottowa River, for the purpose of conveying grain through Canada, instead of the United States.— In reply to a question from Lord Lyveden, Lord GRANVILLE expressed his regret that up to the present time the people of Canada had not provided a sufficient Militia force for their defence in case of war, and stated that it was impossible for this country to defend Canada effectively unless the colonists themselves aided in that object.— The subject was then dropped. SALMON FISHERIES.— On the motion for going into com- mittee on the Salmon Fisheries ( Ireland) Bill, Lord CHELMSFORD moved that the petitioners against the bill be heard by counsel at the bar.— Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY opposed the motion, which, after a long discussion, was negatived on a division, the numbers being, for the motion 19, against it 66.— The house then went into committee on the bill, which, after a very long discus- sion and several divisions, passed through committee. TUESDAY-— The Report of the Amendments in the Salmon Fisheries ( Ireland) Bill was agreed to, the royal assent was given by commission to several bills, and the house adjourned. THURSDAY.— THE FEMALE BLONDIN.— Lord MALMES BURY drew attention to the recent fatal accident at Aston Park, near Birmingham, and called upon the Government to prevent such dangerous exhibitions for the future.— Lord GRANVILLE, having condemned the character of such exhibitions, thought that an expression of opinion by Parliament and the Press would have a more beneficial effect than any legislative enactment.— After a few remarks from Lord SHAFTESBURY, the subject dropped. SALMON FISHERIES ( IRELAND).— On the motion for the third reading of this bill, the Earl of DERBY presented a petition against certain of its provisions from five persons owning fisheries in Ireland, and representing a considerable number cf persons so circumstanced. This was the first instance in which their lord- ships had deliberately abolished, without previous inquiry and witheut compensation, chartered rights, or rights held from time immemorial. Her Majesty's Government, in introducing the bill into the other house, intended that compensation should be granted, and up to a very late period the parties interested were led to believe that their rights would be protected by the Legis- lature. The attempt to set thern aside was made suddenly, with- out notice, in a thin house, and carried against the wish of the Government by a majority of 1, and of 2 upon the report. The amount of property injuriously affected by this bill was fully £ 300,000 a year, whereas, in the case of England, property of a corresponding nature, amounting only to £ 20,000 annually, had been protected. He did not concur with the petitioners in think- ing that the bill ought to be rejected, but he felt that some pro- visions ought to be added, protecting rights acquired under char- ter or immemorial usage. He was very unwilling to place ob- stacles in the way of a bill which was earnestly desired by a number of Irish proprietors, and he had no doubt that its effect, on the whole, would be to improve the value of Irish fisheries ; but, at the same time, the house was asked to deal hur- riedly with the interests of persons who had no op- portunity of being heard. Legislation of such a character he should see with regret, because it would strike a serious blowat the authority and character of their lordships' decisions.— Lord CRAN- WORTH presented a petition from a gentleman who had purchased a fishery, held under charter, in the Encumbered Estates Court, thereby adding a parliamentary to his previously valid title. He had not worked the fishery last year on account of circumstances explained in the petition, and therefore, although the same engines as he was now using had been in use for several years previously, his property would be swept away under the terms of this bill, because those engines had not been actually used in the fishery last year. He maintained that this was a case of extreme injustice [ cheers], and it was but a specimen of hundreds which would be made known if there had been time to forward petitions. He should not again go over the ground over which he had on a former occasion travelled, but, believing the more useful the mea- sure turned out to be in a public point of view the more injuriously would it on future occasions operate, as furnishing a precedent for the invasion of private rights, he should move that it be read a. third time that day three months.— A long discussion took place, but ultimately, on a division, Lord Cranworth was defeated by 40 to 25. The bill then passed amid cheers, the following words having been added to it:—" Provided always that nothing herein contained shall prevent any person having any fixed engine now in use, and in respect of which license duty has been paid, from being allowed to continue the use of the same during the re- mainder of the present season.'' THE FORTIFICATIONS EXPENSES BILL was read a third time and passed. Other business was forwarded, and the house adjourned. TUESDAY.— JAPAN.— Mr COCHRANE called attention to our present relatione with Japan. As it appeared that we were on the eve of a war he thought the house was bound to call for in- formation on the subject. He reviewed the chief incidents of our intercourse with the Japanese, from which he drew the conclu- sion that they had been subjected to compulsion and, in the ex- change of money, to extortion, and he read copious extracts from the papers laid before the house to show that we were not justified in the pressure put upon the Japanese Government. He urged upon the house the duty of ascertaining precisely the grounds of the war upon which we were entering, and he concluded by mov- ing for certain papers.— The motion was seconded by Mr LID- DELL, who contended that the treaty obtained from the Ja- panese had been extorted by fear, that it was ill- considered and hastily drawn, and that by the law of Japan it was not binding upon the great territorial barons, ^ fr LAYARD, in replying to Mr Cochrane, said he lamented as imich as any one that we were forced to make demands upon Japan, but in doing so the Govern- ment were only performing an absolute duty. He justified the treaty, and insisted that the Tycoon had authority to conclude a treaty with us. The outrages committed by the Japanese, he ob- served, were not against Englishmen only, but against Russians and Americans. We had been extremely moderate in our de- mands, but we were bound to ask for reparation. He trusted that we should not be forced to go to war, and that our demands would be acceded to. The Prince of Satsuma, the great offender, he be- lieved, was accessible, and could be made responsible for his acts. He objected to give the papers.— The motion was withdrawn.— A good many bills vt ere forwarded, but they were not of general WEDNESDAY,— REVISION OF THE STATUTE LAW.— On the motion for going into committee on this bill, the SOLICI- TOR- GENERAL, after adverting to the inquiries which this im- portant subject had undergone, to the commissions that had been appointed, their cost to the country, and their results, one of which had been the Act of 1861, comprehending a revision of the statutes from the year 1771, the llth of George III. ( as he after- wards stated) downwards, he observed that the present bill carried the expurgatory process backwards from the 20th of Henry III. ( 1236) to the 1st of James II. ( 1685), removing from the Statute Book all acts passed during that interval which had expired or were obsolete, or had been impliedly or virtually repealed. The bill, which would very materially reduce the bulk of the Statute Book, must, he remarked, be accepted by the house in a great measure on the ground of confidence in the gentlemen to whom its preparation had been entrusted, and in the eminent persons who had approved the work. To refer such a measure to a select committee of that house would, he thought, be absurd.— Sir F. KELLY expressed his entire approval of the bill, and agreed that such a measure must be taken by the house upon trust; but he observed that unless expurgation was accompanied by consolida- tion the Statute Book would still be encumbered with evils and beset with anomalies. He mentioned, among other examples, the law of real property, which was to be collected from 600 or 800 enactments. The task of consolidation would, he said, pre- sent no insurmountable difficulties.— After some discussion, the house went into committee, and the clauses were agreed to.— No other business of importance was transacted. THURSDAY.- OUR SHIPBUILDERS AND THE AMERI- CANS.— After a brief discussion on our relations with Denmark and Schleswig- Holstein, Mr COBDEN called attention to the me- morial from certain shipowners of Liverpool respecting the eva- sion of our foreign enlistment law. He observed that three vessels, built in England, armed from England, and chiefly manned from England, were engaged in the destruction of the commerce of a friendly power, and that there were two iron- clad vessels now building in this country which the American Minister had stated to be intended for the Confederate Government. He believed, he said, that if those vessels went out and committed depredations upon American commerce it might lead to a rupture with this country. He complained that a strict neutrality had not been ob- served by England, and thatdue vigilance had not been exercised by the Government in the quarrel between the Northern and Southern States.— Mr LAIRD replied to some remarks of Mr Cobden, upon whom he retorted.— Lord John MANNERS called attention to the intended exclusion of Turkey from the proposed conference on the subject of the cession of the Ionian Islands to Greece. He con- tended that Turkey had a clear right to oe a party to the confer- ence, and that no power was so directly interested in the question, and he protested against her exclusion.— Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to Mr Cobden, observed that they looked at the question from different points of view. The Government regarded both North and South as belligerent parties, entitled to all belligerent rights. Mr Cobden appeared to think that there were not two belligerent parties, but a legitimate Government and a rebellion raging against that Government. The question was, what was the duty of a neutral power towards two belligerents with bellige- rent rights? And he insisted that, according to international law and to the practice of the United States, the Federal Government had no right to complain. In ansver to Lord John Manners, he stated the reason why Turkey had no title to be present at the conference. THE REVENUE.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated some modifications of the figures representing the amount of revenue and expenditure given in his Budget. The revenue he had taken at £ 68,280,000, and the expenditure at £ 67,749,000, Showing a surplus of 531,000, according to the propositions of the Government. Since then, however, revenue to the amount of £ 109,000 had not been granted by the house, and the estimates had been reduced by £ 44,000. The revenue, therefore, would strud at £ 68,171,000 and the expenditure at £ 67,705,000. Hence the sur- plus would be £ 463,000, instead of £ 531,000. INDIAN FINANCE.— In the evening, after a conversation on the subject of the employment of Indian troops out of India, the house went into committee, when Sir C. WOOD made his statement on the finances of India. After detailing the amount of the revenue and expenditure for the year 1861- 2, and the increase and diminution of the receipts from the principal items, he stated that the regular estimate for 1862- 3 exceeded the budget estimate by £ 2,134,000. The expenditure in India had been higher than was anticipated by £ 440,000; on the other hand the expenditure in England had been less by £. 395,000; and, on the whole, there would be an estimated surplus of £ 1,280,000. The revenue for the current year 1863- 4 was estimated at £ 45,306,000, and the ex- penditure at £ 44,490,000, leaving a surplus of £ 816,000. The Government of India had thought it would be wise to reduce taxation to the amount of £ 335,000, which would make the probable surplus £ 480,000. After showing the progressive reduc- tion of expenditure in India, he proceeded to offer explana- tions and comments upon particular points — the discon- tinuance of the India navy, the health of the army, the expendi- ture upon public works, the extent of railway and water com- munication opened, sales of waste land, the cinchona plantations in the Madras provinces, the cultivation of cotton, the increased consumption of English salt, & c. He concluded by congratulating the house ( rarely numbering thirty members) upon the finances of India having, in so short a time, reached their present satis- factory condition. He then moved a series of resolutions, setting forth the net revenues and charges thereon in the several Govern- ments of India for the year ended the 30th of April, 1862, the interest on the registered debt, and the charges defrayed in Eng- land en account of India for the same period.— Observations upon various matters referred to in the statement were made by Colonel Sykes, Mr Vansittart, Mr Gregson, Mr Kinnaird, Mr Buxton, and Mr Bazley, whose suggestions on the subject of cotton cultivation in India led Mr AYRTON to inveigh against the groundless accusa- tions to which the Government was subjected for its supposed neglect of the interests of Lancashire, by not encouraging and assisting the production of Indian cotton. He touched upon the salt tax and the opium revenue, urging the onerous character of the former, and warning the Government of tbe precarious nature of the latter item.— Mr BAZLEY protested against the remarks of Mr Ayrton in relation to Lancashire.— After a brief reply by Sir C. WOOD, the resolutions were agreed to.— No other business of general interest was transacted. FRIDAY.— No business of the slightest general interest was transacted in either house. HOUSE OF COMMONS. MONDAY.— POLAND.— Mr HORSMAN moved thefollowing re- solution :—" That the arrangements made with regard to Poland by the Treaty of Vienna have failed to secure the good government of Poland or the peace of E urope, and any further attempt to| repl ace Poland under the conditions of that treaty must cause calamities to Poland and embarrassment and danger to Europe." He began by expressing the feelings of perplexity and alarm with which he had read the papers laid before the house. Poland, he said, had been diplomatised to death. If the despatches of the Foreign Secretary had been written with a clear object in view— that of arriving at a settlement of the Polish question— that would be the only justification, to his mind, of this diplomacy; but if all the virtue and energy of the Cabinet was to be exhausted in discussion, and the Government were to say, " We have performed our duty, and can go no further," Parliament would be warranted in saying, You have gone too far, and lighted a blaze in Europe which is beyond your power to extinguish." He then took up the Polish question at the period of the Treaty of Vienna, reading extracts from the despatches of Lord Castlereagh during the negotiations, and dwelling upon the warnings they contained and the appre- hensions which it appeared were entertained by the Plenipoten- tiaries regarding the issue of the question, the Emperor of Russia having gained a point in the negotiations. He then passed to the insurrection of 1831, and contended that the attitude taken by the Emperor rendered the path of diplomacy from that time clear, affording a guide to the policy of this country. France and England sustained a defeat on that occasion; the Em- peror of Russia repudiated his obligations to Europe, and made Poland a Russian province. Lord Palmerstou, as the Minister of England, in fulfilment of what was the duty ot this country, called upon the Emperor of Russia to redeem his pledge, but he was compelled to succumb, because England was not prepared for war, and he abstained from diplomatic action. The events of the present year were merely a repetition of those of 18- 31; an insur- rection was caused by the same irregularities and cruelties on the part of Russia. The Government, however, had not pursued the same prudent course as in 1831. Was the course they bad taken, he asked, English policy, or was it Ministerial levity? He ex- amined the printed papers in order to discover the aim of the Cabinet and the key of its policy upon this question, and he in- ferred that the policy of the Government was changed from what it was in 1831. The condition of Iiusssia, of Poland, and of the continent of Europe was different, and Russia had now quailed before the three combined powers. What, however, was it pro- posed to do ? Nothing more nor less than a complete settlement of the Polish difficulty by reviving the exploded hypocrisy of 1815. As a practical settlement of the question, the six points, would be laughed at by the Emperor of the French. But England made two additions— an armistice and a conference of the powers. To everything proposed by England Russia had given an unquali fied rejection. This reduced the question to the narrowest com- pass. The Poles were fighting for independence; the Cabinet were the instigators and advisers of the Poles; did they mean to give them their nationality ? Did they mean to apply to the Poles the principles they had applied to Italy? How could we, without violating the laws of justice and morality, without committing a fresh crime, deliver up the Poles once more into the hands of their oppressor? Poland for the Poles. Let us repair the wrongs of Poland by welcoming her into the brotherhood of nations. Then, could the restoration of Poland be accomplished without recourse to war ? It depended upon whether Austria would give up Ga- licia. We had, however, raised the flame, and must meet the exi- gency wisely. The Polish question was the special property of Lord Palmerston. It was to him he looked to correct the feeble utterances and to repudiate the ignoble sentiments of others in high places.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, on be- half of the Government, that, with one exception, he had no reason to complain of the spirit in which Mr Horsman had dis- cussed this question. There were parts of his speech, however, which did not cohere with others. The present position of the Emperor of Russia, he observed, had some claim upon our consideration, recollecting the nature of the in- heritance to which he had succeeded, the great things he . had achieved, and the success which had attended his wise efforts. He then proceeded to discuss the policy which it behoved the Go- vernment to pursue upon this question, and the argument of Mr Hersman, which amounted to this— that their choice was between war and doing nothing. After disposing of the former alterna- tive, he demurred to the proposition that the Government should have remained idle, which, he said, would have been highly inex- pedient, considering the state of feeling, not only in this country, but on the Continent, and especially in France. He remarked upon the inference drawn by Mr Horsman from a particular de- spatch of Lord Russell, as indicating a change in the policy of the Government, and as containing a menace of war; and he con- tended that such a conclusion could not be maintained. Mr Hors- man had argued that the Poles had been encouraged by hopes of aid from without, and that the British Government had kindled the flame; but he had adduced no proof of this allegation. As to the position in which matters now stood, Mr Horsman hid not sought for any declaration from the Government, and the present was not the moment when a development of our future policy would be expedient. As to the motion, which called for a solemn condemnation of the Treaty of Vienna— a motion which fell short of the opinions and language of the mover— he urged various rea- sons why it was not desirable that it should be adopted by the house.— A long debate ensued, in the course of which Lord PAL- MERSTON defended the Government and opposed the motion, which was then withdrawn, Mr Horsman's object, that of dis- cussion, having been attained. CITY INTELLIGENCE. Symptoms of increasing easiness are now perceptible in mone- tary circles, and provided no adverse specie movements should set in, a reduction in the Bank rate before many weeks have elapsed is by no means improbable. Much, of course, will depend upon contingencies; but the tendency is certainly in that direc- tion. Bankers and brokers are, consequently, negotiating bills on lower terms, in order to employ their resources before the expected change. First- class bills are, therefore, discounted as low as 3j per cent, and the inquiry, for the same reason, is very moderate, because the mercantile community are merely supply- ing their immediate requirements. Commercial affairs generally remain in a healthy position, but indications of weakness have manifested themselves in the Australian trade, and the failure of Messrs Rossiter and Lazarus will, it is feared, be followed by others; but the prospect of easier money will tend to diminish the anxiety entertained on that account. The Funds have been rather variable, owing to speculative sales, encouraged from time to time by the aspect of continental politics, which are regarded with considerable apprehension. Consols closed yesterday ( Fri- day) afternoon at 92f 9- 3. During the past week business in the Foreign Stock Market continued moderately active, but prices generally were a shade flatter. The Egyptian Loan has given way about 1, the Italian Loan has improved 1, Greek Bonds have receded 1, Mexican Stock has declined 1, and Spanish Passive Bonds 1 per cent. The Turkish Loan of 1858 has declined 1, that of 1862 J, and the Con- solides ^ ' SATURDAY EVENING. A heavy tone has prevailed to- day in the English Stock Market.

NEW YORK, JULY 15 ( MORNING). General Lee has escaped into Virginia with his whole army. Port Hudson has been captured. An attack has been made on Charleston. Bloody mob riots have taken place in New York, in consequence of the enforcement of the conscription. ROBBERY OF POST OFFICE LETTERS. To- day, at Guildhall police court, J. Calder, son of the late General Calder, and James Macdonald were charged with re- ceiving the contents of two letters knowing them to have been stolen. Mr Austin, a stockbroker, disposed of forty- three sharea in the Scinde Railway Company at the request of Mr Bennett, to whom he gave a check for £ 40, and he at the same time returned seventy- two shares in the same railway, having been unable to dispose of them on account of the signature not appearing genuine. Mr Bennett, the stockbroker, said that Calder brought the shares to him for disposal, and showed him a letter purporting to come from his aunt at Rochester, containing an authority to some person not named to sell the shares. He ultimately re- turned these shares to Calder, as well as a check for the forty- three shares.— Mr Upward, a stockbroker, identified the shares as the same which he forwarded to Mr H. Nicholson, a banker of Rochester, for his sister. He ought to have received them back in June last, but they had never reached him. Mr Nicholson said he had forwarded the shares to Messrs Upwood and Good- win, and the authority produced by the prisoner was part of the letter he wrote to them, which he posted on the 23d of June. The prisoner when apprehended said he had received the shares' from a man he met in the street, and that he got a sovereign for die. posing of the shares. The evidence agaiust Macdonald was that a letter was posted to Mr Lazard containing a draught for £ 10 in his favour, and that on the following day it was presented for payment at the London and Westminster Bank, with Mr Lazard'g endorcement forged to it. The forgery was detected, and Mac- donald was given into custody.— The prisoner said he received the check from another person to present, and that he was not guiliy. Both prisoners were committed for trial. ASSAULTING A CABMAN, AND BITING^ HIS FINGER. To- day, at the Marylebone police- court, Edward Izard, a commission agent, was charged with the following outrage:— On the morning of the 24th of April complainant was engaged by the prisoner to drive him from Chancery- lane to St John's Wood Chapel. On arriving there complainant asked for payment of hia fare, but the prisoner said he would pay him as he paid all hia cabmen, and he struck him in the face several times. He then forced complainant's finger into his mouth, and bit the lower joinfc completely through to the bene. Complainant went to the hos- pital, where the finger was amputated.— Tha prisoner said he could not recollect much about what he had done. He certainly had had a good deal of sherry, and there was punching on both sides.— Mr Mansfield committed him for trial, but said he would accept bail, himself in £ 200, and two sureties in £ 100 each. DESPERATE ROBBERY. To- day, at Southwark police court, Wm. Gardner, a powerful man, a cab- driver, and Ann Gardner, his wife, were charged with committing a desperate assault upon Thomas Pugswell, and rob- bing him of his watch. The prosecutor was passing along St. Thomas's- street, in the Borough, on Saturday night, when he was accosted by the female prisoner and another woman, who asked him to treat them to some ginger beer. He consented to do so and while taking out his purse some of the money fell upon the ground. He stooped to pick it up, and the female prisoner there- upon pushed him over. The male prisoner then came up, and also pushed him down, and several others got round him and kicked him in the face, until he was qutie insensible. In thia state he was carried to the hospital. This evidence having been confirmed, the prisoners were fully committed for trial. THE BARONET AND THE PARSON. To- day, at the Southwark police court, Nathaniel Hales, calling himself Sir Nathaniel Hales, Bart, and John Thomas Brown, were re- examined upon a charge of conspiring to defraud the Re* Thomas Septimus Dickenson out of £. 35 and other sums. Thia case was reported on Saturday last. The charge was now with- drawn.— Mr Chipperfield, the defendents' solicitor, said he was provided with evidence to show that the complainant had com- mittted perjury, and he was instructed to apply for a warraufc against him, in order that he might be prosecuted for perjury.—• The complainant had left the court, and a summons was issued for his appearance to answer the charge. TROTTING. POTATOE BOB AND DAIS?.— We have again been inundated with correspondence about this match, each side, of course, main- taining its own views. Our reporter, however, writes to us to state that he personally asked the referee, on the ground, what his decision was, and that the referee at once said Potatoe Bob was entitled to the money. This decision he subsequently re- tracted, on the ground that he had been intimidated. We prefer to take our own reporter'saccount to those of interested spectators, and as we fully believe that the referee did decide in favour of Potatoe Bob, we award the stakes to the owner of that horse, Mr Enoch Read. It is clear, from our reporter's account, that both parties were much to blame in the conduct of the match, and that as far as fair play was concerned, there was nought to choose be- tween them. Whether the referee gave his first decision under intimidation or not, we, of course, cannot say; all we have to ascer- tain is, did he give a decision right or wrong on the ground? This we firmly believe he did, and on the rule that a decision once given cannot be recalled we are bound to act, and as we said before, award the money to Mr Read. It may not be out of place to state, in answer to many inquiries, that we have not em- ployed any lawyer to inquire into the facts of this case, and that we have been guided in our decision entirely by the statement of our own reporter, having set aside as of no value the evidence brought forward on each side. We fully expect, however, that the matter will yet have to be fought out in a court of law. The backers of Daisy have served us with notice not to pay7 over the money, and are" determined to carry the matter into a court of law, unless the owners of Potatoe Bob will trot again, either for the money down, or for any additional amount up to £ 500 a side. JACK ROSSITER AND SKITTY WHIFEER,— A match came off on Tuesday, July 21, for £ 20 a side, between Mr H.' s Jack Rossiter and the celebrated trotting mare Skitty Whiffer, each driven by their respective owners, five miles in harness. Skitty Whiffer started away at a rattling pace, Rossiter in close pursuit. After going about half a mile a number of people on the roadside com- menced yelling, which made Rossiter get up; he immediately settled down, and after going another fifty yards caught the mare and passed her. He was never afterwards headed, and beat the mare by four hundred yards, winning easily. Time, 18min. Another match has been made to trot three miles, the backers of the mare believing they have a better chance of success in the shorter distance. RANGES AND MAID OF ORLEANS.— Mr Moffit of Manchester has matched his bay horse Ranger against Mr Kaye's Maid of Orleans to trot twice round Aintree Race Grounds, Liverpool, Aug 12, 1863, between two and four o'clock, Mr Moffit staking £ 300 to Mr Kaye's £ 200. Mr E. Ford of Liverpool now has £ 150 on behalf of Mr Moffit, and £ 100 from Mr Kaye; the remainder to be made good on July 29, at the house of Mr Ford, at; Liverpool. MAID or ALL- WOBK AND LITTLE WONDER.— A match has been made and £ 5 a side staked between these ponies to trot 10 miles, for £ 10 a side, on Monday, Aug 3. The final deposit is to be made at the George, Stratford, on Tuesday, July 28. Whitehouse's pony, Kit, can be matched at any time to trot Harrison's Daisy twenty miles, for £ 200 a side, on the Liverpool course; the Editor of Bell's Life to be final stakeholder and name a referee, the match to come off one month after the first deposit. An answer through Bell's Life will be attended to. GOODWOOD RACES.— Race glasses, matchless for great magnify- ing power and sharpness of definition, warranted perfectly achromatic. Prices from 30s each, at Callaghan's, 23A, New Bond- street, corner of Conduit- street. N. B. Sole agent to Voigtlander, Vienna. The new aluminium glass ( as made for H. R. H. the Prince of Wales), though of the largest size, weighs but a few ounces. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths in the week ending July 18 were 1,364, being 100 more than in the previous week, and 141 above the average. The increase is chiefly owing to diarrhoea, from which there were 148 deaths, as against 91 the previous week. There were 51 deaths from scarlatina. The births were 9- 30 boys and 880 girls, in all 1,810. DANGEROUS ENCOUNTER IN A TRAIN.— On Friday night we- ik, two gentlemen named Worland and M'Lean, had a narrow escape from being murdered by an Irishman, named Lyrons, a sehool- master, who now turns out to be a lunatic. It appears they left Liverpool in the same carriage with the lunatic and a poor old lady, 80 years of age, by the express for London. Lyons was ob- served to mutter a good deal to himself, but his fellow travellers took no notice. After the train left Bletchley, however, Lyons drew a knife and stabbed Mr Worland in the head. He drew back his arm to repeat the stroke, when Mr M'Lean, who seems to have had his wits about him, knocked him back into his seat. Springing up, the maniac made another dash at the now insen- sible Worland, but here he was foiled again by M'Lean, who gripped his throat and his armed hand, and a close combat began. All the time the train flew rapidly through the country. The woman sitting near the other window had done all she could to alarm the driver by wasting her screams on the morning air, and now lay insensible from the effect of terror. The madman drew the blade of Ms knife through the fingers of M'Lean, and thrust with it wildly. Worland had now regained his senses, and he at once entered into the combat, getting behind the madman, and throwing him down. The maniac's yells were louder than those of the woman, they were continuous, but neither guard nor driver heard them. An4. so the tragedy continued, one long act, a raving maniac, held down by the two men, all covered with blood, lighted by a dim lamp and the grey dawn. For forty long miles this scene* lasted, seen by none except those engaged in the strife, until a ticket- collector, hastily opening the door, saw the two gashed and haggard men bending over the exhausted madman o& the blood- stained floor. Since the French police found the body of a murdered judge in a railway carriage nothing so terrible has occurred. Of course the madman, for he must have been mad, was taken ^ before a magistrate, and there he gave as a reason for his conduct that he thought the two men were about to rob him. He turns out to be an Irish schoolmaster, Michael Lyons by name, coming to London on a mixed errand of business and pleasure. It is said that he has been confined in an asylum for a year, and of course every in- quiry will be made into his past life and character. He is now in the Bucks county gaol. The prisoner has been remanded for a week, as the wounded men were unable to attend the examination before the magistrates. It appears that the old lady who was in the carriage was Mrs Eaton, of 21, Herbert- street, Hoxton. Although 80 years of age, she so far preserved her presence of mind ttiat on recovering from the shock, which induced a sudden faintness, she bound up Mr Worland's forehead with a hand- kerchief, and that she took two others out of the bag she had with her, in order to staunch the blood, and she maintained her self- possession throughout the journey, and was enabled to tell Orpen the constable, what had taken place. That a struggle like that above described could go on so long without there being any possible means of communicating with the guard is a dis- grace to our railwaysystem.
