MANSLAUGHTER BY A POLICEMAN.— At the Newcistle Assizes on Tuesday, July 28, a policeman named Taylor was charged with the manslaughter of a young man, Michael Eustice, in an affray in Silver- street, Newcastle, on the 14th of June. The legal difficulties by which the circumstances were surrounded sorely puzzled the jury, who, however, after an absence of upwardsof live hours, returned a verdict of guilty against, the prisoner, re- commending him to mercy on account of the conduct of the deceased. Sentence was deferred. MUEDER BY A SOLDIER.— At Maidstone, on Wednesday, Alfred Holden, a soldier in the Royal Artillery, was tried for the murder of his infant son at Brompton. It seems on the lst of April the prisoner, who had been cook to the sergeants' mess, had been dis missed from that employment, and sent back to his regular duties in the ranks. This appeared to prey upon his mind, and in the course of the morning he destroyed his own child by cutting its throat. He was at once apprehended, and did not attempt to deny the murder. The corporal who arrested him, and to whom he said, " I did it," asked him his reason for doing it, to which he replied that he wanted to get rid of the world. The corporal said if that was what he wanted, why did he not make away with himself? He replied, " That if he had done so he should leave his child a burden on his wife, whereas if he murdered the child he should then be hung, and his wife would only have herself to keep.'' On his way to the station he made a rambling statement that he had been very much grieved by a sergeant belonging to the mess, and that it was this which caused him to commit the deed. To a policeman he said he had killed the child, and that it was through a sergeant who had tried, he said, to do liim all the harm he could.— He was convicted, and sentenced to death. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A GOVERNOR OE A GAOL.— At Maid- stone, on Wednesday, George Haver, a soldier, was tried for attempting to murder Vincent Fenn.— Mr Fenn said : I am the governor of St Augustin's Gaol, at Canterbury, and the prisoner was committed to my custody on the 18th of March last, to ' imprisoned for two years under the sentence of a court marti It is customary to parade the prisoners every morning ai . ^ quarter past eight © ' clock, and this was done on the 26th March, and I was in the act of inspecting them as usual, when the prisoner said that, he wished to speak to me, and I told him to fall out of the rank, and he did so. I took him on one side, so that the other prisoners might not hear what passed, and he then said that he wished to make a complaint against Mr Dun- bar, one of the warders, and I told him that I would hear what he had to say presently. I turned a little to the right when I had said this, and at the same instant received a blow from some weapon under the left eye. and it was immediately filled with blood. I had lost the sight of my right eye previously, and from my other being filled with blood from the wound, I was totally blinded for a short time, and while in that state I received two other wounds, one on the cheek, and the other on the angle of the left jaw. I succeeded, however, in seizing the prisoner by the throat, and one of my warders came up to my assistance, and the prisoner was secured, lie did not utter a word while he was striking at me. He was put into a place called the wheel shed, and after my wounds had been dressed I went to him and told him I did not exactly know who he was, and asked him to tell me, and he replied, " If you want to know you may go and find out. I will murder you before I leave this place," at the same time making use of most filthy language. He was removed to a cell, and I went to him again about ten o'clock, and asked him what reason he had for attacking me as he had done that morn- ing, and lie replied, " That is my business and not yours.

B., which took place at his seat, Burt House, Kildare, on Sunday morning last, in the 75th year of his age. The deceased lord entered the army at an early age, and served as aide- de- camp to Sir John Craddock in Portugal, and subsequently in the same capacity and as assistant military secre- tary to the Duke of Wellington during the whole of the Penin- sular war. Pew men were then better known than Sir Ulysses Burgh. He was present at the battles of Talavera ( wounded), Busaco, Fuentes d'Onor, El Bodon, Salamanca ( wounded), Vit- toria, Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Toulouse, and the sieges of Badajoz, Ciudad Kodrigo, and San Sebastian. In 1826 he succeeded his cousin as second baron, soon after which he was elected a repre- sentative peer, and was Clerk to the Ordnance during the Wel- lington Administration. Lord Downes was twice married, and by his fmt marriage leaves an only surviving daughter, the Countess of Clonmel. The death of his second, Lady Seaton, whom he outlived exactly three months, it was our duty to record a short time since. The title is now extinct, and the colonelcy of the 29th Kegiment vacant. DEATH OF SIR HUGH HALKETT.— We have to record the death of General Sir Hugh Halkett, C. B., G. C. H., at the age of 80. Sir Hugh was the brother of Sir Colin Halkett, and served in India, and afterwards in the King's German Legion, in the expe- dition to Hanover. He took part in the Baltic expedition, was at Corunna, Walcheren, Albuera ( with Alten's Germans), at Sala- manca, and at Waterloo, where he commanded the Third Hano- verian Brigade. He afterwards took part with the Duke of Wel- lington in the march upon Paris, and remained in the French capital for some months. In the great Gazette which followed the battle of Waterloo both brothers are named ; Sir Colin, who had been severely wounded, was made aK. C. B., Sir Hugh a C. B. With this the younger brother's connection with England may be said to have ended. The German Legion was disbanded, and Sir Hugh, strongly urged to do so by the Horse Guards, entered the Hanoverian service, where he acquired the highest distinction as the general in command of the Hanoverian arm3T. He continued until within the last few years in command of that army, but failing eyesight made it at last necessary for him to retire from active service, and during the closing years of his life he has lived peaceably with his family at Hanover, in the full possession of his faculties to the very last, and enjoyed the well- merited affec- tion and esteem of every one, from the King downwards. I was sorry." I then said, " You did say that you were sorry you had not taken my life,'' and the prisoner replied, " Ah, that is another thing." He was put in irons for three or four days, and was subsequently committed for trial upon the present charge.— The prisoner made no defence, and on being convicted was sentenced to 20 years' penal servitude. THE HERNE MURDER.— At Maidstone on Thursday, July 30, Alfred Eldridge, a labourer, was tried for the murder of a man named Steed, at, Heme, on the 2d of May. It appeared that the deceased, a man about 55 years of age, resided at Maypole, about a mile and a Ralf from Heme nearer Canterbury, and got his living by supplying the labourers employed upon the Heme Bay and Margate Railway with beer and other articles, and was con- stantly passing backwards and forwards between his own village and the railway works. The prisoner, formerly a soldier, had. been for several months employed as a navvy upon the railway works. He liad formerly lodged at the house of the deceased, but dissentions arose between them, and some angry feeling existed, and the prisoner left the deceased's lodgings and went to occupy a cottage in the same village. About three months before the death of the deceased he liad made a claim against the prisoner for a debt of a few shillings, which the prisoner refused to pay, and the result was that the deceased took out a county court sum- mons against him. This no doubt exasperated the prisoner, and he was heard to make use of threats that he would do for the deceased in a few weeks. Nothing particular, however, seemed to have occurred from this time until the day of the fatal occurrence, which was Saturday, the2d May last. On that day the deceased had gone from his own house as usual to the railway works at Heme, and he was present when the railway men were paid off', about half- past six o'clock in the evening. The prisoner received his wages with the others, and nothing took place that was at all calculated to excite any sus- picion of violence being intended on his part, and it appeared that the deceased first left the railway works, and that shortly afterwards he was followed by the prisoner. The next that was seen of them was about seven o'clock in the evening, when they were both at a public house, but it appeared that they did not have anything to drink at this place, and both the deceased and the prisoner were perfectly sober, and there did not appear to be any ill feeling between them, but, on the contrary, the former ap- peared to have addressed the prisoner as " Canterbury," which was a nickname he went by, and to have asked him if he waa going home, and proposed'that they should go home together. The prisoner consented, and it appeared that they both went away apparently on the most friendly terms about seven o'clock in the evening, and the deceased was never again seen alive, or, at all events, he was in a dying state when he was found, and never spoke again. The distance from the village of Herne to that of Maypole, where the prisoner and the deceased resided, was about a mile and a half, and persons going to the latter would have to keep along a footpath and would pass a place called Pooley's Gardens, which was about a quarter of a mile from Herne, and at this place the prisoner and the deceased were met about half- past seven o'clock, walking together and apparently on friendly terms. What happened after this was a blank, except so far as was suggested by the evi- dence, but very soon afterwards some persons passing along the footpath about half a mile from Pooley's Gardens found the de- ceased lying in a ditch close by the path in a most frightful state. His skull was fractured, the bones of one side of his face were completely smashed, one of his eyes was crushed out and was lying on his cheek, these injuries having apparently been occasioned by bis head and face being stamped upon by a heavy, iron- armed boot, and his brains and blood were scattered about in all directions. There was not the slightest appearance of any struggle having taken place, and the suggestion on the part of the prosecution was, that the unhappy man liad been suddenly struck down unaware as he was walking along, and that while he was lying upon the ground he was stamped upon. He was removed home, and died very shortly. The evi- dence of the prisoner's guilt was circumstantial, but very clear. On his boots and trowsers were found marks of blood, and Pro- fessor Taylor and Dr Parry, who made microscopic examinations of his boots, both found human hairs and small fibres of red wool adhering to them. The hairs were the colour of the hair of de- ceased, and at the time of his death he wore a woollen comforter corresponding in colour and material with the fibres found on the boots. In addition to this it was proved he had made a species of admission of his guilt to a fellow prisoner while in confinement at Canterbury gaol, and also to a boy in the same carriage with him on the way to Maidstone gaol before the trial. The jury al- most instantly convicted him, and he was sentenced to death.

WIMBLEDOIF EETIEW.— The following report bv the Duke of Cambridge to the War Office as to the review at Wimbledon has just been published:— " Horse Guards, July 24. " Mr LOKD : Having reviewed the Volunteer corps of the metro- polis and its neighbourhood at Wimbledon on Saturday last, the 18th inst, I have pleasure in stating that I was well satisfied with the general efficiency of the corps then assembled, and with the drill of the battalions. " I directed the force on the ground to be divided into two corps— the one, the attacking body, under Lieutenant- General the Hon Sir James Yorke 8carlett, who was assisted by Major- General Taylor and Brigadier- General Bates in charge of divi- sions ; the other, the defending body, under Major- General Lord Frederick Paulet. The former force was composed of five brigades, commanded respectively by the senior officers of volunteers on the ground, Lord Colville, Lord Kanelagb, Lord Grosvenor, Lord Bury, and Lieutenant- Colonel Bigge; the latter, of three brigades, commanded by Lord Elcho, Lord Radstock, and Lieutenant- Colonel Brewster. " The attacking force was posted in the hollow ground at the western extremity of the common towards Combe; the defenders took up a position near the furthest firing butts. Having been attacked in front, by the brigades under Brigadier- General Bates, the force under Lord Frederick Paulet retired behind the ravine, taking up a fresh position. Sir J. Scarlett then brought forward his ripbt wing under Major- General Taylor, throwing forward two brigades as a flank movement. Upon this Lord F. Paulet's three brigades changed front, throwing back their left, and posted themselves across the common, with their backs to the Grand Stand. Sir J. Scarlett moved his three brigades to the right, forming with them a second or supporting line to the two bri- gades which had made the liank movement from the right. At the end of the field- day the whole of the troops marched past in quarter- distance columns before returniag to their respective quarters. " I was much satisfied with the excellent fire maintained by the battalions in line, and I thought that the men showed great aptitude in skirmishing. The artillery was efficiently handled, and the heavy batteries seemed to move with considerable faci- lity. I was also much satisfied with the efficiency of the two horse artillery guns, and the field battery belonging to the Hon Artillery Company. " I think it would be desirable upon future occasions to im- press upon the several corps the necessity for greater punctuality in the time of reaching the drill ground. The hour specified for the commencement of the evolutions was 5: 30, but it was 6: 45 before it was possible to commence operations, very few of the corps having reached their destination before that hour. The delay and inconvenience caused by this want of punctuality was very great. In conclusion, I can only express my satisfaction at the zeal with which all on the ground carried out the instructions they re- ceived : and I have a firm conviction that the volunteer force is now becoming a very efficient body of men, and valuable as a great auxiliary to the regular army of the country.— I am, my lord, yours, " GEORGE. " The Right Hon. Earl De Grey and Ripon, & c." Earl Grey replies as follows:— " War Office, July 28. " SIB: I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your royal highness's letter of the 24th inst, and to express, in reply, the pleasure which I have experienced in learning that your royal highness was well satisfied with the general efficiency of the volunteer corps assembled on the occasion of the review at Wim- bledon on the 18th inst.— I have the honour to be, sir, your royal highness's obedient servant, " DE GREY A: SD RIPON.

N. Fowler, F. R. G. S., several members and supporters of the Conservative Land Society, and a number of other literary and artistic friends, assembled on Wednesday evening at the Free- masons' Tavern for the purpose of presenting Mr Chas. Lewis Gru- neisen, secretary of the institution, with a testimonial expressive of their sense of the zeal, talent, and energy with which he had dis- charged his official duties, and, apart from all political considera- tions, as a mark of their admiration and esteem. The testimonial consisted of a very elegant silver salver and two dessert stands, with appropriate inscription ; and among those who contributed to its presentation were six members of the House of Peers, one right honourable, four honourables, four baronets, two knights, sixteen members of Parliament, three generals, ten colonels, live chaplains, thirty- three clergymen, seventy- eight ladies ( including Alboni, Grisi, Patti, Tietjens, Viardot, Didiee, Weiss. Rainsfortb), thirty- one composers and artists, eighteen popular vocalists ( among others Sims Reeves, F. Lablache, Weiss, Winn, Mario, Tamberlik, Ronconi, Reichardt, Santley, and Begrez), thirteen managers of theatres and publishers, thirty- six literary men, and The chairman, in presenting ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A MAGISTRATE.— At the Nenagh Assizes Phillip Hayes was tried before Mr Justice O'Brien for shooting at Mr Gore Jones, with intent to murder him, on the 2d of January, 1863. Mr Jones, who is a resident magistrate of long standing, detailed the circumstances of the case, and identi- fied the prisoner as one of two men whom he saw behind a ditch when a gun was fired at him, while riding along the road from Thurles. He immediately pulled up, and said, " You scoundrels! I know you, and I'll make you pay for this." The men then ran away through the fields, and he rode after them through a lane which ended in a bog. He was obliged to return, and they escaped. Two holes, as if made by a bullet, were visible in the loose inverness cape which he wore at the time. The witness was cleverely cross examined by Mr Curtis. Other evidence having been given, the jury retired. They were locked up all night, and discharged the next day, not being able to agree to a verdict. THE ISLINGTON MURDER.— On Thursday William Henry Clarke, the young man charged with feloniously killing and slay- ing Elizabeth Hunter, at Greenman's- lane, Islington, on the night of the 30th of March in last year, was again placed at the bar of the Clerkenwell police court, before Mr Barker, for re- examina- tion.— Mr Clarke, addressing the court, said he had the honour to be instructed by the solicitor to the Treasury. He had to state that as the case now stood, and with reference to the evidence of the little girl, sister of the deceased, it was not the intention of the Crown to proceed further against the prisoner on the charge of murder. The evidence at, present given was not sufficient to en- title them to ask for a committal. The police had no further evi- dence to justify them in asking for a remand, nor did there appear to be any prospect of obtaining further evidence to substantiate the charge. But in withdrawing the charge be had to submit to them other charges showing that on three occasions the prisoner had been guilty of indecent conduct towards children of a youthful age. One of these cases was that of his conduct towards a girl named Mary Ann Baxter, towards whom he behaved indecently in the greenhouse. No complaint was made by the mother to bring the prisoner to justice, but upon Rowe, the prisoner's master, having a communication with the prisoner the latter made a confession, and nothing further was done. That was one of the charges he had been directed to bring under the magis- trate's consideration. Another charge he had to press, but he should not be in a position to proceed with it that day. It was that of a girl named Lambert, residing at 9, Oxford- street, New North road. He mentioned this circumstance that it might be known that this charge would also be included in the indictment which would be preferred against the prisoner. Evidence was then taken to support a portion of these charges, and the prisoner was further remanded and admitted to bail. FATAL ACCIDENT IN PEGWELL BAT.— On Wednesday an inquest was held at St Lawrence, in Ramsgate, on the body of George Dale, age IS, of Newport- court, London, who was drowned on Monday. It seems that on Monday morning the deceased left London for Dover, where he was joined in the evening by a friend named Frederick Bowler, a clerk, of No. 25, Leighton- grove, London. Both young men started from Dover at seven o'clock on Monday morning, with the view of making their way to Rams- gate on foot. It, being low water they thought they should save a long journey by crossing Pegwell Bay, which they resolved to do. It is necessary here to state that the river Stour crosses the bay, and on the side nearest Dover or Deal there is a bank of sand, which at low water forms an island. The deceased and his friend had reached this bank, when to their surprise they found the river. They took off their shoes and stockings, and attempted to wade across. This they found was impossible, and they there- fore returned, divested themselves of their trowsers, and again attempted to cross, but still were unable to do so, the water being too deep. During this time the tide had been rising very fast, and when the young men returned to the bank a second time, it was nearly covered. The water encroached upon them rapid' - and the deceased being unable to swim, was swept off drowned, and his body was picked upon the bank of the i on Thursday morning by a fisherman. Bowler managed to W. or. the bank until assistance came, and then he was brought sah'/-^ ashore, but had lost nearly all his clothes. The jury returnee, a verd'. ct of " Accidentally drowned." MELANCHOLY ACCIDENI.— A gentleman named Scurlock, of Doc- tors'- commons, aged 83, recently arrived in Laugharne, met hisdeath under the following melancholy circumstances:— On Monday after- noon week Mr Scurlock went out for a walk with Miss Mills, his ward, and Mrs Hugh, with whom they were lodging, on the cliff, and when at the end, near Bennett's Cottages, he attempted to descend to the beach by a narrow path leading in that direction ; his foot slipped, and he fell against a gate, which, being rotten, gave way, and the unfortunate gentleman was precipitated over the cliff, and fell upon a heap of stones some fifty feet below, severely injuring his head. Mrs Hugh immediately returned to seek medical assistance, and, in the absence of tlie medical man of the town, fortunately met Dr Ringer, of the Bengal army, who was on a visit to Laugharne, and he kindly repaired to the spot and rendered every assistance, remaining with Mr Scurlock, in conjunction with Dr Ford, until his death, which took place on Tuesday evening. DELIBERATE SUICIDE IN DUBLIN.— A few minutes before eleven o'clock on Wednesday, July 29, a gentleman about 35 years of age went into the shootiifg gallery of Mr Rigby, Suffolk- street, and told the persons in attendance that he wanted some practice loaded for him. But in- seventeen distinguished foreigners—. u0v.. » i.. ua„, - ,, . ... the testimonial, made happy allusion to Mr Gruneisen's distiu- in shooting. At his request a pistol w; guished connection with English journalism as foreign corres- stead of firing at the tai- get he put the pistol to his forehead and pondent and musical critic, a? id boi'e testimony to the fidelity and blew his brains out Death was instantaneous. From papers efficiency of his services in connection with the Conservative Landfo" nd, 011 ^ person, it was ascertained that the name of the de- ceased was William Adis Foy, that he was an ex- scholar of the Dublin University, that his employment was preparing pupils for entering Trinity College, and that he had resided for the last two years at a hotel in Abbey- street. FOUR AT A BIRTH.— The German journals state that an event of rare occurrence took place on July 23, at Mulheim, on the Kuhr, when the wife of a day labourer gave birth to four infants, two boys and two girls. " The mother and the children," adds the report, " are doing well," Society.— Mr Gruneisen replied in graceful aud effective terms, and expressed his deep acknowledgments for the compliment which he felt had been paid him in the presentation of so valua- ble a testimonial. HEALTH or LONDON.— The deaths in the week ending July 25 were 1,452, being 200 over the average. The increase is principally owing to diarrhoea, from which the deaths were 233, while there were 20 from cholera, 110 from scarlatina, and 34 from small- pox, The births were 994 boys and 893 « irls, total 1,892, BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 2, 1863.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. TURF. In order to save correspondents as well as ourselves much unneces- sary trouble, we beg to state that we can give no further informa- tion respecting scratchlngs than is embraced, in our weekly list of « ' Horses struck out of their en- gagements." Record— Mr Osbaldeston rode his 200 miles match Nov 5,1831. He used twenty- eight horses. His total time, Including stoppages, was 8h - main, and the fastest four miles throughout the match was done by Mr Gully's Tranby in his second heat, which he ac- complished iu eight minutes. This horse did four heats of four miles each in the match, and his times were 8min lOsec, 8min, 8min 15sec, and 8min 50sec. This answers several other queries.

All we can say is, if the referee named a second place of fighting, at which one of the men was not present, he was right in awarding the money to the other man, but there is no rule to justify him in awarding stakes to one man be- cause the other did not attend in person at a public- house to learn where a meeting was to take place the following day; it would be quite sufficient for this pur- pose to seud a deputy.

It is useless to repeat from the daily papers the names of com- manders and the localities of engagements, the mention of which conveys no information to the mind of the English reader. There have been many contests in which great heroism has been exhi- bited, but the result in a military point of view was in each case small. The important fact exists that the insurrection sustains itself, spreads, and increases. The causes of this marvel, for it is really one, must be deep seated and strong beyond ordinary imagination. Diplomacy does nothing for Poland, not even to the extent of declaring that the Poles are te be considered " belli- gerents," and are therefore te be spared the axe and the halter if they happen to be taken prisoners. Kussian ferocity indulges itself without even the form of a diplomatic prohibition. Yet the insurrection goes on, and seems likely to go on till the feelings of outraged humanity shall compel foreign interference. Cell's ILtfr in ILonDon, LONDON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 2. THE SPEECH. The royal speech at the close of the session is more than usually remarkable for telling very little, and not telling that little well. It was right enough to be reticent as to Poland, expressing only hopes that what was done might be found to be well done, and in- dulging in visions ef peaceful beatitude, which are perhaps not destined to be realised. But upon the other subjects there might have been a better exposition of acts and motives, and statements of anticipated results. With one exception, a schoolboy might have prepared the speech, and, indeed, it does look very like the statement that Master Hopeful sends home of his doings during " the last half," and his suppositions as to what will happen in the holidays, and in the next half. It would have been well if the exception we refer to had not existed. That exception is a foolish illustration of ill temper, and shows that the writer forgot at the moment of its composition the rules that govern, or that ought to govern, the style of communications between gen- tlemen. The petty ill- temper of the particular phrase points, if the subject- matter did not also indicate the same thing, to the au- thor of the paragraph. " The Emperor of Brazil has thought fit to break off his diplomatic relations with Her Majesty," is the lan- guage in which the existence of a very annoying and compro- mising difficulty has been announced to the two houses and the country. If the Emperor had been wrong throughout, a more sneering style of speaking could hardly have been used towards him. But the King of the Belgians, the arbitrator appointed to settle the difference, seems to have thought the reverse; and this mode of speaking of a dispute in which the award of an independent arbitrator has been against our- selves is neither calculated to allay the irritation natural to the contest, nor even to treat the decision of the arbitrator with becoming deference. It partakes too much of the character of the Scold, who, when a court and jury have pronounced a plaintiff to be in the right, still denounces his conduct as shabby and abominable. The Emperor will not, of course, notice such a foolish outbreak ; but England will do so, and will thus relieve itself of the imputation of affecting to submit to a decision, while in truth it is doing its best, by the vaguest of words, to cast a slur on that decision. In the praise given to the Lancashire operatives, and in the hope that such sufferings as they have undergone may not be renewed, and only remembered as a matter of honour to those who have borne, and to those who have aided others in bearing them, all readers must agree; and it will be to all the empire, as it is to Her Majesty, a source of great gratification that, notwithstanding this particular cause of distress, the country is generally prosperous. That prosperity we owe, under Divine favour, to the freedom of our institutioas, and the consequent energy and union ofthe people. TRANSPORTATION. The commissioners on " secondary punishments'' recommend " a partial return to the practice of transportation," and affirm that the colony of Western Australia is ready to receive our convicts1 Of course that colony is ready to do so for its own purposes, and expects great benefit from the scheme. When this was announced, The Times, in two articles which look for all the world like the production of an alarmed and not very rational or reasonable colonist of one of the other English settlements in that part of the world, questioned not merely the wisdom or the practicability of the proposal, but declared that it would not be submitted to, and threatened the Government with resistance to any attempt to carry it into effect. This is going a little too far. Of course there is among some colonies an objection to have importations of con- victs, and of course the English Government wiil never think of trying to force them on the acceptance of colonies which enter- tain such an objection. But if Western Australia is desirous to have them, why should the wishes of Western Australia, happily coinciding, as they do, with the necessities of England, be utterly disregarded? It is said that the other colonies will pass laws making it penal to import convicts into their territories. Be it so; the English Government does not intend so to import them, and Western Australia will not make the attempt. Such laws, therefore, will be simply needless and useless. While the convicts remain • eoiivicts, tkey will be ( that is an essential part of the proposed scheme) rigorously confined to Western Australia. When they have ceased to be convicts— that is, when they have undergone the punishment imposed on them by law— they will, as free men., probably attempt to go to the other eolonies, or to return to England. We could not refuse to admit them again into this country. Will the other Australian eolonies refuse them admis- sion there ? It is difficult to fancy that the other colonies would make an attempt to do anything at once unwise and so con- trary to the spirit of both human and Divine law. Having undergone their sentence, they stand before the world again as Eree Men. Suspected they may be, their past crime necessitates that, but they are re- invested with their former legal rights. The eolonies we are speaking of would have no Jawiui authority on any principle of Divine or human legislation . to say that they shall not land in a particular territory. These col onies would not think of so acting towards a person who had serv ed out his time of punishment in England, France, the United . States, or any other country. Will they so act with respect to Jhose whose punishment has been completed in Western Australia ? No one, SIR CRESSWELL CRESSWELL. This eminent judge is dead. The loss to the public is great. He filled the most important office in our judicial system, and dis" charged its duties with rare ability and distinguished success. The power which the Legislature alone had exercised was transferred to him, and a divorce, which till lately could only be de- clared by the Sovereign authority of the three estates of the realm in Parliament assembled, was made to depend on his judicial will. The task he had to fulfil was onerous and important in the extreme, but no one doubts that, so far as human capacity can ensure justice, it was ensured in his court. A better choice for a most trying and arduous office could not have been made. With the clearest perception and great learning, there was united the most earnest- straightforwardness of purpose. When at the bar he disdained the tricks of advocacy, and had little respect for those who used them. This feeling, and the habits which it engendered, accompanied him on the bench, and his de- sire to check chicanery was not less than his capacity to detect it. The result is shown in the public appreciation of his court. There is none so necessarily subject to excite the passions and ill- will of the suitors— there is none which has been, and is, held in greater respect. It would be difficult to find a more conclusive testimony in favour of the judicial excellence of the person who pronounced its decision and exercised its authority. Sir Cresswell Cresswell was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1819, went the Northern Circuit, sat as the Tory member for Liverpool, was appointed a judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and was afterwards selected to be the first judge of the newly- created Court of Probate and Divorce. A miserable " accident" ( as it is called) has terminated a life of the most distinguished public usefulness. The new legislation found in him an apt and fitting person to give a great and startling experiment the advantage of a fair and even a favourable trial. His successor will have a difficult task in sustaining the character of the court at the level on which the late judge had placed it. ROPE- WALKING MURDERS. It is with feelings of the most, grateful pleasure that we refer t° the letter which, in the name of Her Majesty, and at lierdictation' Sir Charles Phipps has written to the Mayor of Birmingham, on the subject of the rope- walking abomination. A taste the mos6 absurd has recently developed itself, a taste for exhibitions which are not recommended by any single thing that ought to win for them public patronage. They are what it has become the fashion to call " Sensation Exhibitions," that is to say exhibitions which, on account of the danger to the life of the performer, excite in the strongest way the sensations of the spectators. If that is to be a reason for having such exhibitions at all, we may at once return to the gladiatorial shows of the degenerate Romans, of those Romans who did not conquer the world, but by their effeminacy and cowardice lost the world which their ancestors had conquered. For in the gladiatorial shows the danger is even more certain, and the sensations might be roused to the highest degree by seeing a death or two, or by the excitement of condemning the unsuccessful combatant to be murdered. But even those shows, savage as they were, had one merit which these rope- walking absurdities do not possess— skill in those exhibitions might become service- able to the individual, and through him to the State, while here the utmost degree of proficiency could never be of service to any one. And then, too, the putting on the rope, as performers, women, and women in any condition of existence, even that of advanced pregnancy, showed such a disregard of all the best feel- ings of our nature, as to make those who could employ women so circumstanced, and those who could go to see such exhibitions and such exhibitors, the objects of the scorn and contempt of every feeling and honourable man. Finally, when the possible mischief had actually happened, when the poor murdered creature lay before the cro w d, the spectators went on with the " amusements." One shudders with horror at those who could do so, and shrinks with disgust from the necessity to acknowledge them for our countrymen. Well may Her Majesty look upon the park, in the creation of which she and her beloved Consort had assisted, as desecrated to the most fearful extent by such heartlessness. Fashion is strong. Let us hope that, in this instance, its power will be felt. The men of Birmingham would do themselves credit by coming forward to condemn such of their townspeople as have shown themselves so depraved as to attend this exhibi- tion, and to stay to see the " amusements'' to the end. But in default of what would be a just censure on the past, we may in- dulge in the hope that, if on no better motive, at least on that of the unfashionableness of an exhibition so pointedly condemned by the Queen, there will be no repetition of it for the future. THE DRAMA. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.— A second performance of Donizetti' 8 sparkling and brilliant " L'Elisir d'Amore" has served still furthe1" to testify our conviction of Mdlle Patti's forte lying in comic> rather than in tragic opera. The part of Adina suits her exactly and she joins with Ronconi in eliciting the praise of her audience no less by the merits of her singing than by the lively bustle of her acting, which is full of the necessary vivacity demanded by the action of the story. On Tuesday Mdlle Patti made her appear- ance as Maria in the same composer's" LaFiglia del Reggimento,'' an opera altogether new to the theatre, and again developed all her charms of singing and acting. The simplicity of the artless maiden, barn almost and bred in the camp, was most naturally and effectively displayed, not only in the early scenes of the opera, but in the later, where she is separated from her military friends, and endeavours to do justice to the grandeur of her novel position. The lively air, " Ciacun lo Dice" was exquisitely rendered and enthusiastically encored, while the pathetic farewell embodied in " Convien partir " was given with genuine feeling and expression. The lesson scene was capitally said and sung, the passionate tearing of the roll of music, and the buoyant sauciness with which the stately scene is discarded for the more genial rataplan, being one of the lady's happiest effects. Madame Tagliafico was the Marchese, and made the character as important as she possibly could. Signor Neri Baraldi sang his best as Tonio, and Signor Ciampi as Sulpizio sang and acted after his usual bustling fashion. The band played the overture and concerted music as if they had been used to playing it all their lives, instead of for the first time, and the chorus were without blemish in the execution of their duties. The mise en scene and disposition of the soldiers and peasants in the first act told forcibly of the excellent arrangements of Mr Harris. OLYMPIC THEATRE.— Mr Tom Taylor's drama of " The Ticket of Leave Man" continues to attract, in spite of the heat of the wea- ther and the annual migration to the sea- side and other pleasant places now going on in all directions. Mr Emden, the principal manager, announces his benefit to take place on the 8th of the present month, when some extra attractions will doubtless be offered for the delectation of his numerous patrons. LYCEUM THEATRE.— Notwithstanding its continued popularity " The Duke's Motto" will be played during the ensuing week for the last times at present, Mr Fechter having determined to bring his first season to a close on Saturday, Aug 8. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.— Mr Walter Montgomery has appeared at this house as Hamlet on the nights not devoted to the per- formances of Mdlle Stella Colas as Juliet. It is a proof that this gentleman aims at attempting the very highest range of the Shaksperian drama, and that he does not lack courage to do so is evinced by his taking the characters which have been sustained on the same boards where Mr Charles Kean, Mr Phelps, and Mr Fechter have appeared before him. ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE.— The attendance on the first day's fete at the Crystal Palace amounted to as many as 10,000 persons, whilst on the second it is said that upwards of 29,000 were present. The fun, we hear, was of the most extravagant kind, no end of practical drollery being put in force to induce the visitors to give freely from their purses in aid of the funds of the institution. CRYSTAL PALACE CONCERTS.— There would seem to be no limit to the musical enterprise of the directors of these most agreeable concerts. During the past week one was given, at which Mdlle Patti, Mdme Miolan- Carvalho, Signori Mario, Tamberlik, Graziani, and Herr Formes sang; and on Wednesday- next arrangements have been made with the lessee of Her Majesty's Theatre, by which the new and popular opera of " Faust" may be sung in its entirety by the artistes and chorus of that theatre. Such spirited determination in the production of musical novel ty deserves something more than mere passing words of encouragement, inasmuch as the facilities for the execu- tion of such a work differ widely from those afforded by the great opera houses in London. MR MELLON'S CONCERTS.— This excellent conductor of the music performed at the English Opera, Covent- garden, lias an- nounced his intention of giving a series of concerts at the Floral Hall, commencing on Monday, August 10th. Vocal music will be duly represented, Mdlle Carlotta Patti being engaged as the principal vocalist. THE GHOST MANIA.— The exhibition of spectral effects is no longer confined to the Polytechnic Institution, the Adelphi and Britannia theatres, but has found its way to the transpontine establishments known as the Surrey and Victoria theatres, and also to the Canterbury and other music halls, where plays and scenes adapted for the occasion are nightly represented to puzzled audiences. DEATH OF SIR CRESSWELL CRESSWELL.— We regret to state that on Wednesday evening Sir Cresswell died rather unexpect- edly, it was at first supposed, from the shock to his system caused by the accident he met with during the previous week. It may be remembered that he was riding on horseback last week, when some runaway horses struck against Sir Cresswell's horse, and throwing the deceased to the ground, caused a fracture of the knee pan. He was removed to his residence at Prince's- gate, where the fractured part was healing favourably, and Sir Cress- well bore the confinement with great equanimity, and was in good spirits throughout. Mr James Lane and Mr Charles Hawkins were in continuous attendance, and everything promised a speedy recovery. Properly devised splints having been adjusted, Sir Cresswell was able, with assistance, to shift himself from the bed to a couch, and had done so in the course of Wednesday. As he was being lifted in the evening from the couch again to the bed, with the assistance of his brother, the Rev Oswald Cresswell, he complained of feeling faint, asked for wine, and almost immedi- ately died. He had always considered himself a specially healthy man, and was mentioning shortly after his accident that he had never had a day's illness, and had never consulted a phy- sician since he left school. He had lately become somewhat sud- denly corpulent, but it was never suspected, by himself or any other person, that the hand of disease had seized him so llrmly though silently. The post mortem inspection was performed at seven p. m. on Thursday by Mr Charles Hawkins, Mr James Lane, and Dr Baber. The examination of the chest showed that the heart was the sole seat of disease. Sir Cresswell was in his 70th year. He had bee » on the bench more than 20 years, and had served his country ably. The work by which, however, Sir Cresswell Cresswell will be remembered— and the only work by which he will be remembered— is the creation of the Divorce Court. Sir Cresswell Cresswell was appointed t © preside here in January, 1858. It was an experiment distrusted at the time by the public, and most dangerous to the reputation of the man who should first undertake it. Sir Cresswell Cresswell's confidence in himself allowed him to accept it, and, as that self- confidence was fortunately in his case well founded, it enabled him to carry it through. To him chiefly it is owing that the Divorce Court has been a great success. Consumption, and 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 Iievalenta Arabica Food, as proved by 6,000 cases which had been considered hopeless. We quote a few: — Cure, No. 46,270. Mr James Roberts, of Erimley, Surrey, of thirty years' diseased lungs, spitting of blood, constipation, liver derangement, and deafness.— Cure, No. 47,121. Miss Elizabeth Jacobs, of extreme nervousness, indigestion, gatherings, low spirits, and nervous fancies.— Cure, No. 54,816. The Rev James T. Campbell, Eakenham, Norfolk, " of indigestion and torpidity ofthe liver, which had resisted all medical treatment.''— In tins, lib, 2s 9d; 121b, 22s; 241b, 40?.— Barry du Barry and Co, No. 77, FRANCE. There is no political intelligence. The papers are all discussing, each after its own fashion, the Polish question, and the probable conduct of England and Austria thereon. SWITZERLAND. The National Council has ratified the convention concluded with the Italian Government, relative to the diocese of Tessino. The Council has also adopted a resolution, which in effect ac- knowledges the equality of the rights of Jews in the canton of Argovia. AUSTRIA. The Ostdeutsche ZeituMg publishes the following important intelligence from Vienna :— The latest news in this capital, which transpired after the close of the sitting of the Reichsratli, and has been received with the greatest interest, is that an order has been forwarded to Lemberg to place an Austrian corps of 18,000 men upon a war footing on the Russian frontier of Galicia. This intelligence would have been forwarded at once by telegraph, but the Government will not permit the transmission of the despatch. The news was communicated to various deputies during a pause in the sitting by Count Rechberg. POLAND. Private letters from Warsaw state that " A proclamation of the National Government was published there, announcing the ap- pointment of Citizen Ladislaus Czartoriski as its general diplo- matic agent at London and Paris. The proclamation states that the National Government had received sufficient guarantees that his negotiations would be conducted on the basis of the unim- paired rights of a nation fighting for liberty, equality, and inde- pendence." Numerous encounters between the Poles and Russians had taken place, in most of which the former were victorious. AMERICA. Terrible riots have taken place in New York, in consequence of the enforcement of the conscription. The whole city was a scene of outrage, bloodshed, and disorder. An organised mob, com- posed mostly of the labouring population, infuriated women, and lads of 17 downwards, headed by a Virginian named Andrews and 300 other leaders, dispersed in strong bodies in different parts of the city. They attacked the office of the New York Tribune, gutted and fired the building, but the flames were extinguished. Pedes- trians were assaulted and robbed on the Broadway. Every negro found in the streets was attacked, and it is estimated that 50 were killed. One negro was hung and a fire lighted under his body, burning it to a cinder. Colonel O'Brien was riding up and down between either line of the crowd. He, as it is stated, fired his revolver into their midst, the ball killing a woman and child, which she held in her arms. The mob seized Colonel O'Brien and hung him to a lamp- post. The mob in full strength in the upper part of the city burned houses and com- mitted other outrages. Placards were posted about the city from Archbishop Hughes, requesting the rioters to assemble in front of his residence, for the purpose of hearing an address, urging them to return to their lawful avocations. They were pro- mised protection while listening to the address. Archbishop Hughes addressed a concourse of 5,060 persons in front of his re- sidence. He told them they were called rioters, but he could not see a riotous face amongst them, if they were Irishmen, as their enemies said the rioters were. He was an Irishman, but not a rioter. He recommended them to keep quiet, though in case of a violent assault upon their rights without provocation every man had a right to defend his house or Church with his life. The speaker several times alluded in opprobrious terms to Eng- land, saying: " He did not envy John Bull in re- placing a noble population by a race of fat bullocks. Ireland," he said, " was the mother of heroes and poets, but perhaps they might think his remarks were blarney.'' One of the spectators assented, to which the archbishop replied, " Of course.'' It is a subject of much remark that the archbishop did not utter one word of reproach or exhortation against the wanton atrocities committed against the inoffensive coloured po- pulation by the mob. The Republican press argue that the riots in New " York are really part and parcel of the Southern rebellion, while the democratic press assert the obnoxious conditions of the draft to be the sole cause. It is to be observed that a Southerner headed the riot. The city council have unanimously passed an ordinance appropriating 2,500,000 dollars to exempt poor eon- scripts. A terrible onslaught was made on the negro dwellings in l'ork- street, and, amid shrieks and groans of the unfortunate women and children, the whole precinct was devoted to devasta- tion. Soldiers were brought into action. In the encounter Colonel Winslow with 150 men and two howitzers charged on the mob, who took shelter in tenement houses, from the roofs of which they hurled stones, bullets, & c, on the soldiers. The sur- render of Port Hudson is confirmed. The Mississippi River is now opened. MEXICO. Advices received from Mexico state that the Mexican people were to be called to decide upon their form of government. General Forey has ordered that all goods for the interior are to be under French protection. The feeling abroad is in favour of the French Government. So far as French accounts go Juarez has no chance but that of flight. He is said to be endeavouring to get to New York. WEST INDIA MAIL. The Tasmanian arrived at Southampton on Wednesday, with mails from St Thomas's to the 14th ult, Vera Cruz 2d, Jamaica 9th, Demerara 8th, Barbadoes 11th, & c. Intelligence brought by this mail states that yellow fever and small- pox were raging at Vera Cruz. General Forey had ordered all goods for the interior to be placed under French protection. The feeling abroad is re- ported in favour of the French, President Juarez being very un- popular. St Vincent had been visited with a violent storm, doing a considerable amount of damage, and destroying several build- ings in course of erection. Numerous cases of incendiarism had occurred at Barbadoes amongst the coloured labourers employed on the various estates. The cause is said to be the reduction of wages consequent on the low prices of sugar. The long- continued dry weather had caused some apprehension with regard to the cane crop for next season. The Demerara Court of Policy met on the 3d ult. The business transacted was unimportant. The agri- culturists of the colony were turning their attention to the culti- vation of cotton, and many of the planters were sending the first fruits of their enterprise down for shipment. Previous to the departure of the Tasmanian, news arrived at St Thomas of the partial destruction of Porto Plata ( St Domingo) by fire; only two of the merchants' stores remained standing, and property to the amount of 500,000 dollars had been destroyed. Most of the lead- ing merchants at St Thomas will suffer in consequence, the trade between the two ports being extensive. St Thomas continued healthy. Intelligence from Hayti says, of the 59 individuals ac- cused of complicity in the late revolutionary attempt, 17 have been sentenced to death, of whom eight, including the chief con- spirator, Aime Legros, were immediately executed. Several others found guilty have been sentenced to imprisonment for three years. Two severe shocks of earthquake were experienced at Kingston and Spanish Town, Jamaica, on the 8th, causing con- siderable alarm; the undulations were eastward. Immediately after a great change was visible in the atmosphere, accompanied with rain. Dry weather still prevailed at Jamaica, to the injury of the crops. The heat was oppressive, and considerable sickness prevailed. Trade generally continued dull. especially no one who professes to be a Christian, can pretend to I Regent- street, .

Agricultural mechanics were in the ascendant at Worcester. There never was so large a show, nor one more important- It is true that the eye became tired by the constant reduplication of manufacturers' implements upon the stands of their numerous agents; but this is an annoyance which will admit of amendment in the course of future meetings. A committee of selection might very well reduce the- 5,839 entries, and much improve the show by so doing. One- third might have been removed from the Worcester Show, and left it the better for the bleeding. There are thousands of people, and business people too, who only have one day for the entire exhibition. The implements which come first iu order present such an immense front that they are gene- rally avoided for the cattle; whereas, were they more within bounds, visitors would lay their plans for doing the whole- cattle and implements combined. I propose to mention a few of the meritorious novelties in thi3 department of the Worcester Show, picking most of them from the yard devoted to machinery in motion. One of the sheds erected in this space continued during the week to attract crowds of people. Bessart was working Messrs Powis, James, and Co's " mechanical wheelwright," for shaping spokes, and machinery of another description for cutting out wheel felloes, & c. The former is a beautiful contrivance, by means of which four spokes are turned at one time, two being on either side the iron model. Several wheelwrights were astonished by the celerity with which this nice operation was conducted, and confessed themselves fairly beaten. The morticing and tenoning machines were watched with a like interest. They were all driven by steam power. There was other power in the yard, however, for Messrs Bury and Pollard, of Southwark, had erected what they called a self- regulating wind engine, for driving agricultural or other ma- chinery. The idea is to devote one building to grinding, pulping, thrashing, dressing, and the like, dividing it into a series of suitable floors. Shafting then is made to run from end to end, and the roof is pierced to admit the timber which supports a wind wheel above, together with the vertical shaft which descends from it, and drives the korizontal one just mentioned. The horizontal shaft may project through either of the end walls of the building, and pump water on the outside for the supply of the yard. A four- horse power wind- engine can be procured for £ 115, and as every one knows the motive power is supplied gratis. The ma- chinery appeared very simple, and not likely to be disordered. While most people are abandoning wind for steam, some, under the guidance of this firm, will be returning to wind again. The power of falling water was displayed by Williamson Brothers, of Kendal, who have been studying in a good school to economise and turn to advantage the little mountain streams which abound in their and in every mountain district. The " vortex turbine," a sort of centrifugal pump backwards, consists of a many- chambered wheel, which, receiving the descending stream while in a horizontal position, flies round with great rapidity. The water drove the wheel, which, instead of raising water, drove a chaff- cutter. The fall of water eight feet high gave half a horse power. There were a great many traction engines on the ground. En- closures were allotted to them, confined within which they travelled round and round with tiresome monotony. Messrs Aveling and Porter, recent prizetakers for this species of ma- chinery at the great International Meeting at Hamburg, were the owners of one of them, now well known in Kent for its utility and docile habits. Messrs Garrett and Sons of Sax- mundham showed another with boilers proved up to a pressure of 2001b on the square inch, thus converting a nominal 10- horse power engine into one of 40- horse power with perfect safety. It possesses two speeds— 2j and 5 miles per hour— will carry a load of 20 tons up an incline of 1 in 12. Messrs Allchin and Sons exhibited a very good traction engine, weighing abeut 8 tons, in which the travelling wheels were driven by spar gear in place of pitch chain. There was another traction engine, manufactured by Messrs Clayton and Shuttlewortli of Lincoln. They also showed a portable 5- horse power engine, combined with an Appold's centrifugal pump placed in front of the smoke box, adapted for draining low lands or for irrigation. At a lift of 10 feet this machine will lift 900 gallons of water per minute. On the stand of A. H. Childs, of New Oxford- street, was a chaff machine of very novel design. There are three straight knives movable upon the fly wheel, their posture during revolution being regulated by a fixed eccentric cam in the centre. This ar- rangement gives exactly the drawing cut of the old hand box. The mouthpiece is 16 inches by five inches, and this requires scarcely one horse power. It is by far the best machine out. Redstone's American sawing machine, an ingenious invention, was also ex- hibited. This is remarkable for its simple movement of a cross slide, by which the great length of a crank and connecting- rod is avoided, and thestra'ight reciprocating saw adjusts its own position to any vertical angle, while cutting through a rod either lengtn- wise or across. The teeth are so made that the backward draw is as efficient as the forward. There are some new straw elevators— one shown by Tuxford and Sons, of Boston, which is a trough- iike- looking affair, folding up. The other is Messrs Clayton and Shuttleworth's— a rope web, which delivers straw upon the stack at any height. The brick machines have made some advance, particularly Ward and Burnan's, who exhibited two machines, one for forming the clots and another for mould- ing the clots into bricks. Whitehead's machine pours out two continuous streams of clay at once, cutting them into bricks at the rate of 26,000 per day. The improvements in thrashing machines were numerous. Hornsby's finishing machine has but three belts, one of which acts as a corn elevator. The beaters are double acting, so that when one edge is worn the other is brought into use. Bruek- shaw's has a peculiar rocking motion, by which a shaft at the end of the machine alternately raises and drops the ends of the shaker boxes, while at the same time giving the reciprocating movement to the shock board. The improvements in the engines consist generally in small de- tails, effecting economy of fuel or reduction of friction. Amongst the miscellaneous articles I must notice Messrs Ar- nold's balling gun, by which a bolus can be fired down a horse's throat. It is a sort of long popgun. The ball is introduced into the back part of the animal's mouth, and ejected from the instru- ment by pressing, down a piston. PEDESTRIANISM.

PEDESTRIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK. J. FENTON or THE WEST END AND J. HOWSE OF STEPNEY.— On Monday, July 27, there was a capital attendance of the ad- mirers of the sport at J. Baum's enclosed ground to witness, in addition to the five miles race between Andrews and Brunell, the mile spin with the above men, for £ 10 a side. The odds were 5 to 4 on Howse, who had to allow his opponent a start of 10 yar^ s. The competitors had to make the circuit of the course seven times, and when the whole of the preliminary matters had been adjusted, the men toed the mark, when, on taking up their allotted positions, Fenton was placed the given distance in ad- vance. The start was made under the superintendence of W. Price, the M. C , and in going off Fenton, with the advantage of the lead, made the ruuning at a clipping pace. WThen the men went by for the completion of the second lap Howse had made some slfght impression on his man, as the gap- between them had been reduced by some two or three yards. As the men made the bend of the course for the opening of the fourth round Howse, in consequence of running rather " wide,'' made a partial slip, but he soon gathered himself up, and went rattling along. Although Howse, in as fine a bit of racing as ever w as witnessed, gained somewhat on his man, yet his advantage proved only transitory, for when the men had entered upon the sixth round there was still the same distance between them as at starting. The struggle on the part of both was superbly maintained, but, from the style in which Fenton held command of his position, it was apparent he was quite equal to all that was required of him, for, notwithstanding Howse made the most strenuous efforts, he could not succeed in wresting from his opponent the lead, so that on the finish of the races Fenton went in a winner by some six or seven yards. The winner can have the stakes at our office next Friday, at twelve © ' clock. ANDREWS OF HOLBORN AND BRUNELL OF STEPNEY.— On Monday, July 6, in the five miles handicap decided here, the above men ( Brnnell being handicapped from scratch, Andrews receiving 50 yards start, were competitors), and so magnificently was the struggle sustained on their part, that the referee decided they had run a dead heat. The pedestrians agreed to stake £ 10 a side, and run again, the win- ner taking the cup and £ 20, which had, as we have observed, been posted in addition to the original prize. The men had to pass the referee 34 times, and from the fine manner in which the match had been contested at their former meeting, the event unquestionably produced much excitement. When the pedestrians had made the start Brunell commenced the " catching up'' process in such a forcible and decided manner that, as they came down the straight for the termination of the fourteenth lap, this being the completion of the second mile, he had closed on the tough and indomitable old Harry. From the beginning of the third mile Brunell took the lead, and from the fine and powerful turn of speed he had evinced, his friends ima- gined he had such unquestioned superiority over his competitor, that it was only a case of having to go the whole distance to win, as Andrews, as it is well known, is one of those men who never consider they are anything like beaten until placed number two at the finish. Brunell, looking uncommonly smart as " first fiddle," led until the finish of the fourth mile. During the per- formance of the last mile the men two or three times changed po- sitions, and from the style in which they were running, the struggle became more than ever exciting. At length, however, Andrews succeeded in getting well to the fore, and placed a for- midable gap between himself and opponent, and after a fine spurt to the finish the old- un finally beat Brunell off, and to the asto- nishment of the admirers of the Stepney clipper Andrews went in a fine winner. The first mile was run in 4min 52sec, two in lOmin 26sec, three miles were accomplished in 15min 49sec, four miles 21min 20sec, and the five miles were run by the winner in 26min 42sec. BEAUFORT AND STUART.— On Wednesday, July 29, the ground was again well attended to witness the match between the above gentlemen amateurs, who had to walk five miles for a silver cup, Beaufort receiving one minute and a half. Both are a couple of fine athletes, in the prime and vigour of youthful manhood, and the match produced a great deal of interest among their respective friends. When the referee had been chosen the competitors came to the scratch, the match having been fixed to come off' at seven o'clock. Beaufort, who went off' at a rattling pace to make the most of the start allowed, covered in the specified time 360 yards, so that when Stuart received the word of command to dash off in pursuit of his competitor, he was one lap and 100 yards in the rear. From the instant, however, Stuart had started, he began to gain upon his man in the most decided style, and had so diminished the gap between them that when two miles had been accomplished he gained one lap, or 260 yards out of the distance covered by his opponent, in the given time. Having done so much Stuart's friends became more than ever sanguine as to the result, as they considered that having displayed so fine a turn of speed he must in the end prove victorious. Beaufort, however, from the immense advantage he had in the start was from time to time during the performance of the first two miles enabled occasionally to " ease off,'' while Stuart, on the contrary, from the hard work before him and the desire he had to pull in on his man, had from the commencement to stick hard at the " collar." The result of this soon made itself apparent, for when the competitors had en- tered on the third mile Beaufort was enabled to put on some ad- ditional steam, and went away in a fine plucky spurt, giving ample proof that he was by no means to be " cut down'' in the easy manner anticipated. During the whole of the third, fourth, and fifth miles the match was sustained with the utmost spirit on the part of both, but notwithstanding the efforts of Stuart he was not enabled to wrest the lead from his opponent, so that on the termination of the fifth and last mile Beaufort went in a winner by something like 60 or 70 yards, the distance having been walked by the winner in 46min 40sec, which is by no means bad work for a non- professional. Stuart had in addition to the above match been backed to walk seven miles in 65 minutes at one start, so that when Beaufort retired he had to walk on by himself for two miles further for the purpose of deciding his match against time. In this struggle against the " enemy'' he met with much better luck than he had done with Beaufort, as he succeeded in bringing the event to a satisfactory issue, his seven miles being accom- plished in the most plucky manner in 62min 58sec, so that Stuart had two minutes and two seconds in hand on the completion of his task, thus proving the winner of one out of the two distinct matches. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. HOWSE AND Cox.— On Saturday, July 25, these pedestrians met on C. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, to run two miles, for £ 10 a side, there being present a strong muster. The betting was even, and J. Jacques was chosen referee. On starting the lead was taken by Cox, who maintained the advan- tage of position until one mile and a half had been accomplished, when Howse, who had been thus far holding in the rear, and waiting on his man, now put on a fine spurt, and challenged his opponent for the front position. Cox, nothing loth, pulled him- self well together, and likewise put on some extra steam. It, however, soon became apparent he would have to give way, for such was the immense superiority Howse manifested in speed, that he quickly closed on his man, and came to the fore. Cox, having been passed, fell rapidly in the rear, and was so effectually beaten off he did not run the last 100 yards of the distance, so that Howse went in an easy winner, the two miles being done in lOmin 55sec. GAY AND HASAN.— These men also ran a mile, for £ 5 a side, Gay receiving 30 yards. The odds were 6 to 4 on Hagan, and Jacques again acted as referee. Hagan so gained on his man from the start that at half a mile they were level. A fine ani- mating struggle now ensued, which ended in Gay being the winner, he having run his opponent to so complete a standstill as to be unable to run the distance out. COTTON AND HARRISON.— These pedestrians likewise ran a quarter of a mile, for £ 5 a side, which after a well- contested race was won by Harrison by four yards. REDFERN AND CLARKE.— These men met on Monday at Mr Wilson's ground to walk 50 miles, for £ 30. As, after four hours' " consideration," they could not agree toajreferee, the pedestrians came to the resolution of walking over the ground without one, starting, owing to the matter above referred to, at rather a late hour for so long a journey. Clarke, after going the moderate " breather'' of 30 miles, left off and retired, having had enough of it, leaving Redfern in possession of the ground, who resolved to go the whole distance for the purpose of putting in a better claim to the stakes. The matter was left for the adjudication of the stakeholder ; but, apart from this, we may say that in all long distance matches like the present the backers ought at all times to decide upon the referee before the day, or consent that the M. C. of the ground should officiate. [ This case is as clear as possible. Even had there been any doubt as to the fair walking of either man ( which there was not), the agreement made by both to waive the necessity of a referee at once precluded either from backing out after having once started. Redfern is entitled to the stakes, which he can have on Friday, August 7, at twelve o'clock. ] HAREWOOD ARMS, LEEDS, AND NEIGHBOURHOOD. G. Watson of Thornhill will run J. Liversidge of Mexborough, if the latter will give him two yards start, or will take one yard start from Hy. Atkinson of Castleford, or give one yard start to B. Whitehead of Hunslet, in 120 yards. Any of the matches can be made at the Queen's Hotel, Thornhill, any night next week. RABBIT COURSING.— FLORA AND LILL.— For this match Mr Woolfoot has received another deposit of £ 5. It is expected to come off at the Cardigan Arms, Leeds, Aug 22. FLY AND CATCH.— B. Godley's bitch Fly and J. Hadfield's dog Catch have been matched for £ 10 a side, Flj' to give Catch one dead rabbit out of 21, 65 yards law. To run at the Cardigan Arms, Leeds, Aug 22. To meet at J. Woolfoot's, and deposit the re- maining £ 5 at one o'clock on the day of running. SPRING AND PADDY.— J. Kellett of Low Moor, near Bradford, has received another deposit for the match between G. Pollard's dog Spring of Bowling and Sellers's dog Paddy of Bradford. CANINE.— DART AND MYRTLE.— J. Kellett lias received another deposit of £ 5 a side for D. Briggs's dog Dart, of Brighouse and Swaine's bitch Myrtle of Horton, Myrtle to run 212 yards, Dart to run 200 yards, for £ 25 a side, which is fixed to take place at St Thomas's Grounds, Stanningley, on Saturday, Aug 8. KNUR AND SPELL.— GBEEN AND KAY.— A match has been made, for which J. Kellett has received £ 5 a side, for H. Kay of Bradford and D. Green of Buttershaw, for £ 15 a side, to be played on Wibsey Slack, on Saturday. August 15. SUTCLIFFE AND SMITH — Those veterans " Bill at Mount" ( the ex- champion) and Herbert Smith ( alias Throstle) are matched to play a game at knur and spell, for £ 25 a side, at Peatholes Moor, on Saturday, August 8. J. Kellett stakeholder and referee. VICTORIA RACE GROUNDS, LEEDS. POPPLEWELL AND THOMPSON.— These men ran their 120 yards race, July 25, in presence of a goodly number, amongst whom there was a fair amount of betting ; before they started Thomp- son was the favourite. They made a fair start," but had not gone far before Popplewell got to the front, which position he kept, and finished the winner. STOKES AND BROOKS.— Stokes of Lofthouse Gate and Brooks of Wakefield ran at these grounds on the above day. Brooks won by about a foot. HARRISON AND GREEN.— These Leeds men are to run one mile, for £ 10 a side, here, on Aug 1. The match appears to excite a great deal of interest. WARING AND ELY.— These men ( both of Leeds) are matched to run 100 yards, for £ 10 a side, on Saturday, Aug 15, atthese grounds. PATRICK AND ELY.— These men are matched to run 100 yards, for £ 10 a side, at these grounds, on Monday, Aug 17. PROCTOR AND RICHARDSON.— These men are matched to run 120 yards, for £ 10 a side, on Saturday, Aug 29, at the Victoria Grounds, Leeds. Mr J. Woolfoot to be stakeholder and referee. CITY GROUNDS, QUARRY GAP, BRADFORD. PIGEON SHOOTING.— Mr Hardy has received £ 5 for a match, for £ 20 a side, 21 birds each, between Mr Berry and Mr Searjent; to take place on Aug 15 at the above grounds. RABBIT COURSING.— Mr Hardy has received articles and £ 2 for a match between Mr Priestley's bitch Mary and Mr Bland's bitch Violet, 11 courses, for £ 5 a side; to run on Monday, Aug 10; to meet at half- past five. KNUR AND SPELL ; £ 15 GIVEN.— This great handicap com- menced on Aug 1, and will be played out on Saturday, Aug 8. Mr Hardy wishes the public to be aware that his grounds are engaged for the Autumn Horse Races on Sept 5 and 7. Payne of Tunbridge Wells and Marsh of Brighton ran SSOyards, for £ 10 a side, on Friday, July 24, at East Grinstead, on a turn- pike road. Payne was the favourite at 2 to 1. The men ran to- gether for half the distance, when Payne took the lead, and won by 20 yards. Time, 2min8sec. GREAT RACE FOR THE FOUR MILES CHAMPION CUP OF £- 50, AT Bow.— On Monday, Aug 3, at the Prince of Wales Ground, Bow, this exciting affair will be brought to an issue, and more than usual interest is attached to it, for that it is again thrown open to " all comers," barring neither " clime nor colour.'' Worthy of a champion to contend for, and still more worthy of a champion to win, from the fact that it was originally given in honour of the Prince of Wales ( patron of the grounds), and hav- ing been won by the famed Young England, on the 10th of March, the " Bridal Day." The " dark cloud" has since " lowered o'er the house" of Edward Mills, so he cannot maintain it, and there- fore the following ten champions and aspirants will appear, and bound from the mark, namely:— John Brighton, for years the Four Miles Champion, who again rushes forth to contend at his favourite distance; Jones ( the Pride of Merrie Islington), whose speed is undoubted ; the indomitable Sam Barker, and the warn- ing of " tarry not" must be attended to to keep with him ; the Bounding Brunell, young, lithe, and lissom, and of whose ante- lope rush at the finish all must be careful; Old Harry Andrews, the stalwart Jem Howse, Brown of Stratford, the famed Toddy Ray ( a " moral" for a place), Martin of Maidstone, Dulieu ( La Belle France), make up the half score on the eventful day. £ 4 will be added with the cup for the winner, with three other money prizes up to the fourth in the race ; so that whoever he may be who wins, " pull foot" must be the order from end to end. At the various pedestrian hauRts and sporting houses the following return of the speculation as to the result will show the interest attached to the race, only stating that although Brighton has been away for some time, his well- known capabilities give him the premiership in the betting:— Latest odds : 2 to 1 agst Brigh- ton, 2j to 1 agst Jones, 3 to 1 agst Barker, 4 to 1 agst Brunell, 6 to 1 agst Andrews, 10 to 1 agst any other. A good deal of " bye betting" on Toddy Ray for a place, Andrews and Brunell, and Dulieu and Martin in their places, and that Brown is one of the first four. Extra and special arrangements will be made; by omnibus and rail can the Bow Grounds be reached; at the wish of the " humbler walk of life," and to give all an opportunity of witnessing so great a contest, the admission will be sixpence, and the start will take place at half- past six o'clock, on Monday, Aug 3, at the Bow Grounds, to accommodate City people especially. Lang entered too late to be allowed to start, as the entries closed on Wednesday, July 29. THE GREAT FIVE MILES CHAMPION BELT OF ENGLAND.— To bring out the " decided champions" of England, at all dis- tances, is the special mission of the renowned Hackney Wick Grounds. Half way between the champion prize of England, at 10 miles, and the astonishing speed of one mile in 4min 21£ see, a trophy worthy of all to contend in will come off, to really decide the fleetest among even the fleet, at five miles. The prize to be contended for or. Monday, Aug 17, is worthy in value, in beauty of design, and above all in the honour to be obtained, for it outshines the liberality of even the hitherto liberal Hackney Wick. The grand " Belt" is of the value of 50 guineas ; it even surpasses the one that Sir Thomas de Sayers for three long years defended, and nearly won ; it is of the same device, it is no gewgaw, but valu- able, and worthy of a " decided champion" striving for and win- ning. £ 6 will be also added to the victor, £ 4 for second, £ 2 for third, and even the fourth a " quid'' for a " welcome home." Conditions are such as never before have been put forth, viz— The holder, whoever he may be, can be challenged for twelvemonths ; but if any one can maintain it for three consecutive matches it is at once his own property for ever. The holder must accept all challenges, and run in six weeks afterwards, and to throw open to all aspirants, for as low as £ 10 a side, or as much more as may be agreed upon ; and also that any third or fourth person can dis- tinctly join in a sweepstakes if they choose, the winner to take the whole of the stakes and belt, and each man a share of the gate money. This splendid belt has been manufactured by Mr Wil- liam Preston ; it will be exhibited at the " head- quarters" of pedestrians, the Spotted Dog, Strand, for a week before the race, and those who may wish to contend, and those who may wish to witness a trophy surpassing even the " P. R. Champion Belt,'' should call at " Mr Wilson's, Spotted Dog. On Aug 17 ( Mon day fortnight), the entries will be free, and any of the " Provincial Champions" will have their expenses paid for " to and fro" from Hackney Wick. The men whom this grand trophy will bring together will alone be worthy of a long journey to see The liberal conditions will assemble the first- rates; the prize to be struggled for will produce a race unprecedented ; and Hackney Wick will assert and proudly maintain the prestige she has so nobly gained. Lang of Middlesborough, J. Sanderson of Rochdale, and Pat Stapleton of Staleybridge, have already entered, a fore- shadowing of what may be expected at Hackney Wick, on Mon day, August 17. GREAT FOUR- MILE HANDICAP AT HACKNEY WICK ON MONDAY, AUG 3.— Ever auxious to keep faith with the public, in consequence of the sad circumstances which have caused Mills to forfeit to Lang, there will be, on Monday, Aug 3, a four miles handicap; first £ 10, second £ 2, third £ 1, when the following will start:— The mighty Lang, from scatch; Barker 200 yards start-, Brnnell 220, Andrew 250, Richards 2- 50, Spencer 300, Howes 4- 50, Corkey 500, Jones 500, & c.

The weather during the past week has again been very favourable for the cereal crops and hay making. Wheat has the most healthy and vigorous appearance, and promises to be a heavy crop, both winter and soring sown. The supply of Wheat from the farmers at the markets in the country has, in the aggregate, been under that of last week. Buyers have been very generally shy, both in their attendance and operations, which has caused the trade to ruie dull, with a downward tendency in prices. Business in all descriptions of spring corn has been contracted. The arrivals of home grown and foreign grain and Flour this week have been in small compass. The fine weather, coupled with the limited attendance of the trade at Mark- lane this morning, caused the Wheat trade ( English and foreign) to rule very heavy, and any pressure to sell could only be at a reduction in prices. Flour participated in the dulness. The supply of Barley being scanty, the value was well main- tained. The Oat trade was quiet, but fine corn commanded full rates. There was a slaek inquiry for Beans and Peas, but no quotable change, Essex, Kent, and Suffolk, old white, 48s to 52s; ditto, new, 40s to 49s; ditto, old red, 48a to 50s; ditto, new, 40s to 48s; Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire, 40s to 49s, Barley— Malting, 29s to 38s; Chevalier, 35s to 40s ; distilling, 29s. to 34s; grinding, 26s to 27s.

SPORTING CHRONICLE. [ LATEST EDITION.] THE TURF. Horses marked * are in the Derby, t in the Oaks, J in the Leger. GOODWOOD EACES. Stewards : The Earl of Westmoreland and the Earl of Glasgow. Secretaries : Messrs Vveatherby. Judge : Mr Clark. Clerk of the Scales : Mr Manning. Starter : Mr T. M'George. " One universal joy prevails! This carnival of pleasure Outstrips the feats of ancient clays- All Grecian, Koman treasure; Yea, this high festival supreme Is without match or measure." A mere " carpet" race meeting, a country house gathering of ocktails and fourth raters, devised by the reigningehief of theducal house of Lennox in a fortunate moment as an afternoon's amuse- ment for his personal friends and tenants, Goodwood from its very earliest days took deep hold of the public fancy, and when in course of time the staunchest patron and brightest ornament the Turf ever knew, the lamented Lord George Bentinck, devoted the whole of his untiring energies to the perfect development of this his favourite, his darling battle ground, the great Sussex tryst could not fail to assume the position it has ever since maintained, and to become, as it continues to be, with Ascot the twin queen of the British race course. Situated in a district of rare beauty even for the lovely county it graces— wood and corn land rivalling each other in bloom and profusion— the shady nooks and leafy solitudes of the park holding forth never- failing inducement and temptation to the wayfaring visitor, heated and fatigued by the pitiless dust and scorching Bun of a July sky ; the blue waves of the Channel rising and fall- ing in the distance, as if to bid him, when the sport is done, to bury his tanned visage and toil- subdued limbs beneath their in- vigorating swell; the garden of female beauty which in Watteau- like groups dot the lawn and gem the balcony; the scarcely- less- felt influence of the presenoe of the best and noblest of England's sons ; the rich prizes of contention ; the cream of our unrivalled horseflesh ; in a word the genuine, thorough enjoyment of the Dukeof Richmond's annual carnival render glorious, gorgeous Good- wood, as it deserves to be, the model of a patrician British race meeting. To the man whom profession or inclination leads from one corner of the isle to the other— who one day inhales the pure ambrosial heather blast at Kelso, and forty- eight hours after may be far on his way towards the metropolis of the Gaul, his mind intent on the Prix de 1' Empereur— the gathering of which we treat has special attractions. The Ring musters in its fullest force: the Upper Ten congregate prior to their flitting Scotlandwards, or migrating to treacherous Baden, Homburg the perfidious, Pyreneean village, or the yacht- haunted coast of Norway; backers are plentiful as blackberries; good things rife; York- . shire sends its " certainties," Berkshire is prolific of " clip- pers," Newmarket exults in its " morals," and Danebury and Woodyeates are still, mysterious, but confident. What classic memories of hard- fought struggles, of bewildering turns- lip, of upset " pots," and " coups" successfully brought off its name arouses; the double victories of Stumps and Aurelia, the Conciliation triumph of the home yellow and red cap, Sir Mark Wood and Lucetta beating Changeling, the unfortunate broken leg of Shark, and the roll he gave natty Arthur Pavis; Little Red Rover, the dwarf with the giant's heart, bears his 8st 61b im- post to the fore; and Glaucus, with 9st 81b— O tempora ! O mores ! — just finishes in front of the threeyear old Greville Preserve, who races home with 7st 101b! Priam, with lOstsave a pound, answers Conolly'scall; old Sadler's' crocks" are beaten off, and white- legged Beirani, who has just bowled Posthumous over in the " Drawing Room," stretches the old horse's neck. Lord Chesterfield was most fortunate over the Goodwood course in those days; and in addition to the Trojan above mentioned ( purchased of the Chif- neys), Glaucus ( bought from Gen Grosvenor) while Hornsea, Weeper and Eva scored once and again victories for the ever popu- lar blue and red; and Col wick ran a decent second for the Cup to the flying Glencoe. The Gratwieke and Ham Stakes are pregnant with recollections of mighty departed Turf cracks, more especially at the period when Lord George's heavy Bay Middleton nomina- tions were pitted against some home- tried wonder of " Honest John's," and the spur of rivalry on personal grounds was added to the naturally eager competition for such princely stakes. What stories again might be told of the three mile 300 sovs Sweepstakes for four year olds, answerable for the " broke- down" return oppo- site the name of many a steed who but a year before had borne all before him ? In the struggle for the race Cotherstone's leg gave way, and in it Van Tromp and Cossack met for their memorable " who shall V and its finish in ' 54 showed us the lastof West Aus- tralian. The two flying Cups— the Stewards and Chesteraeld— are of themselves sufficient, single handed, to make the fortune of a meeting; and the Cossack- like charge of a field of five and thirty or so in the former is a sight never to be forgotton, and one, save in the case of the Ascot Hunt Cup, without a parallel; indeed, if fault can be found at all, it is that the overwhelming richness and interestof the bill of fare provided half satiates themost inveterate race- goer, and makes all save future Doncaster pall upon his visual palate until the Cesarewitch horses come tearing through " choke jade.'' Thus, then, it was, that from the lowly position it occupied at the beginning of the present century the " Goodwood gathering rose gradually' but surely into importance, until some five and twenty years ago a well- known turf writer pronounced the Goodwood Meeting to be the " lion" of the racing season, and just a score years ago so high was its renown that the same author writes enthusiastically, " What shall we say of the splendour of the princely Goodwood Meeting ? Alas ! we are unable to do even moderate justice to the beauties and delights which were rapturously enjoyed by the thousands of happy faces that congre- gated in the Duke of Richmond's park at the Goodwood Meeting of 1813 !'' Howfar the above remarks are applicable to a meeting held twenty years afterwards those who assisted at the present gathering and beheld the assemblage of rank and beauty present on the occasion are best enabled to judge. The throngs of visitors that poured forth from the metropolis during Monday and betook themselves to the South Coast was a guarantee of a full gathering, and Brighton as usual being the " head quarters'' of the " Ring," we may note briefly that some little wagering took place at night in front of " the Ship." For the Stewards' Cup seven " fifties" were booked about Muezzin, 100 to 1* 2 about Lady Clifden, 25 to 1 aboutEntremet, and 33 to 1 about Dol- phin, as it also was about Summerside and one or two others that, like the latter, eventually proved non- starters. Anfield was firm for theStakes, and 110 to' 50 was booked three times about hire, and 7 to 1 was taken about his winning this event and Buckstone the Cup, while double these odds were taken about Bellman and Buckstone for the " double event." 20 to 1 to £ 100 was laid against Lord Clifden tor the St Leger, and offers were made to take 50 to 1 about Ackworth for the Derby. Neither the list of horses under order for Goodwood, or the list of arrivals up to Monday night, however, were very heavy, and we may note that Godding's lot, which were stationed at Singleton, and numbered eighteen, was the largest string imported by any trainer. Having last week so fully analysed the programme of the meeting, and since glanced at its most salient features, it would be mere vain repetition to go over the ground again, the more espe- cially as the " features" of each race are amply discussed day by day. Glorious weather betided the opening of the meeting, while the course was in good going order and well covered with grass. Since the last meeting a new " telegraph" ap- paratus, for the display of the number of the starters and the names of the jockeys, has been erected, which is the most complete thing of the kind ever seen. It was made by Mr S. Clark, of Newmarket, the latest improvements being suggested by the long practical experience of Mr Manning, the Clerk of the Scales. Having thus glanced at the preliminaries, we proceed to a brief resume of the sport itself, and although short fields were, in some instances at least, the order of the meeting, the cause is too self evident, and has been too recently and too often alluded to of late to need further disquisition in this place. If the fields were smaller than on certain other anniversaries it must be admitted that seldom, if ever, has such a muster of fashionables been witnessed on the first day of the meeting; certainly never a more elegant display of ladies than were ranged along the long line of sea's under the " greenwood trees" on the lawn like so many " Psyches of the shade." Never was a more judicious change made in the arrangement of the list than that effected a few years since by bringing the " Stewards' Cup" forward to the first day, equalising the attrac- tions of the meeting and imparting additional eclat to the com- mencement ofthedoings Thus, with eight items for decision to day, including the Cupjust alluded to, and the always interestingraces for the Ham, Lavant. and Gratwicke Stakes, there was no deficiency in interest, either to professional or general visitors. The Craven Stakes, as usual, inaugurated the sport, the Gillie and Curie being the only absentees of the entered seven, of whom the five year old, Wa'terwitcli, despite her 71b penalty for " not for sale," was an immense favourite. The old mare, however, game and well as she has run lately, was unable to give 221b te a fair and fresh three year old, and Gunner defeated her by half a length. Of the twenty subscribers to the Ham Stakes only three moderate ones came to the post, and Mr Merry's small, wiry, and " dark" filly, by Saunterer out of Mcestissima, getting, like Izaak Walton, a 61b allowance, and having moreover been satisfactorily tried, was deemed good enough by her owner to beat the last named colt and Mirage; and this feat she accomplished, and made a successful debut bj' defeating Iz^ ac by a length. Before the race, the latter, who ran in Mr Starkey's colours, had been disposed of to Mr Padwick. Although the Gratwicke Stakes, like the Ham, only brought out three competitors, it excited considerable in- terest, as involving the fate of Lord Zetland's Zapateado, who, tried with Piccador, had been backed for a large amount of money during the previous week for the Goodwood Stakes, and odds were at first very freely laid on him for this race at the com- mencement of the betting ; but after he had cantered he was not 60 much fancied, while Clarior's fine action gained him many admirers. The scion of Fandango did not per- form the" lively measure his fond backers had expected and his name" implied, for he was beaten at a mile, and Clarior, who had been pulling over him all the way, beat liim at last without an effort. The effect of this performance was to send the defeated one from 10 to 1— taken just before the race— to 33 to 1 for the Goodwood Stakes. Next for decision came the Stewards' Cup, for which nine and twenty starters were finally telegraphed, themost noteworthy absentees of those who had figured in the betting being Catch ' em Alive, Surnmerside— Mr Ten Broeck having three strings to his bow without the latter— and the Calliope colt, besides one or two others that had been more or less " nibbled'' at. During the morning Birdhill came to 7 to 1, and was for a time a better favourite than Lady Clifden. for notwith- standing her top weight the winner of the same race last year had a host of staunch friends. Cheerful, too, came with a rush, and at the finish was almost as good a favourite as anything, bar Lady Clifden, while Muezzin fluctuated considerably, and after receding to 12 to 1, and even longer odds in some parts of the ring, left off at about 10 to 1. Lord of Linne, who looked well in " on paper," was the best " public" favourite at last of Mr TenBroeck's lot after the retirement of Summerside. Several other horses were also backed freely, and the betting on this race altogether testified the excellence of the handicapping. After a slight delay the lot were despatched on very fair terms, and at half a mile the backers of Lady Clifden had again awarded the race to her, so dangerous did she look at, that point, but the game old mare tired under the weight at the half- distance, and Birdhill, heading Entremet in the last few strides, landed the colours of the Duke of Beaufort by a neck. The triumph of that popular nobleman was received with loud acclamations, and many and hearty were the congratu- lations his grace received on the occasion of pulling off the prize with his favourite Birdhill, who is most assuredly one of the most useful horses the duke ever possessed. With regard to the start itself, Mr M'George afterwards stated that not a single act of in- subordination occurred at the post, a proof of what may be effected where the " authorities" are present to watch the proceedings. The duke, we may add, as " in duty bound," stood his horse for a moderate stake, and the gentle- men, as a rule, followed suit. The " Stewards' Cup," so called, is a group, in silver, representing an equestrian statuette of Queen Mary, in her magnificent robes of state, and mounted upon a highly caparisoned horse of the period. Her Majesty is at- tended by a page, who is also in very rich costume, and is leading the Queen's horse, with a group of hounds in the background. It was manufactured by C. F. Hancock, of Bruton- street, and modelled by Marshall Wood. It is a very chaste and elegant production, " and worthy to be placed on the ducal sideboard as a trophy of the victory of Birdhill. Notwithstanding the length and severity of the course for the Sweepstakes of 100 sovs each, half a dozen opposed the pretensions of Piccador, who was backed at a shortish price for this journey, and for the most part the com- petitors looked a very moderate lot. The favourite, who made his own running, was, however, unexpectedly bowled over by Ace of Clubs, who finally won as he liked, the " spots'' for the second time to- day being thus doomed to defeat. Both Barbadoes and Laughing Stock broke down some distance from home. The T. Y. C. Sweepstakes attracted nine of the eleven entries to the post, and the selected ^ Etna, formerly the property of Lord Stamford, disposed of the lot opposed to her, including her quondam stable companion Chicquot the Jester, after a slash- ing race in with Bradamante, and afterwards became the property of Mr Joseph Dawson, being claimed for the stipulated 300 sovs for himself, not for Lord Stamford, who declined to receive her again. A lot of seventeen were coloured for the Lavant Stakes, including Cambuscan, although it was notorious that the horse would not put in appearance at Goodwood, and so sanguine were the partisans of Knight of Snowden, and confident of im- proving on the Ascot running, that he was at last a shade better favourite than Crytheia, who, like Durham, backed at 5 to 1, was penalised 31b. As premised by us last week, however, there was " something dangerous enough in the dark division to upset the public runners," and William Day achieved one of his coups by winning with Sir F. Johnstone's colt by Stockwell out of Alma, purchased at Doncaster in September last for 300 guineas, considerably less than half the sum given for the favourite, who was sold for 820 guineas on the day after the Alma colt's sale. The winner, who is a big good- looking horse, was backed by his party to win a large stake, and afterwards introduced into the Derby betting at 40 to 1. The last race of the day— 50 sovs, last mile— brought out only three runners, of whom The Principal was rather a warm favourite, but he succumbed to Ind » l nee, who was afterwards claimed by " Mr York," the owner of the favourite. The " letter of the law," however, was not complied with, owing to " Mr York" being ignorant of the exact " whereabouts" of the horse he had claimed, and the next morning the owner of Indolence resisted the claim, and, although the owner of The Principal still pressed it, the stewards, on being appealed to, voted in favour of the op- ponent, and so Indolence did not change hands after all. There was comparatively little betting on any events except the current ones of the day, nevertheless, a few " movements " were made on the Goodwood 8takes. An field remained steady at about 7 to 4, and Blondin, whose trial was said to be most satisfactory, advanced to 5 to 1. A point more was taken and offered about Bellman, and Balham somewhat suddenly made his appearance in the market, and was supported at 100 to 8. TheWaap colt, who came with a rush into the market on the previous Saturday, and as quickly " went away'' again— it being rumoured that his being backed at all was owing to an error in a telegraphic message— was supported this afternoon at 100 to 6. Bookmakers, for the most part, had a rather " hot time of it" in more senses than one, for although it is true first favourites did not win every race, most of the winners were backed heavily nevertheless. The latest doings in the evening will be found below :— The CRAVEN STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for three year olds and upwards; the winner to be sold for 500 sovs : if en- tered for 100 sovs allowed 91b, if not for sale 71b extra; mares and geldings allowed 31b; Craven Course ( one mile and a quarter) ; 7 subs.

Gunner cantered in front for a few strides, then dropped astern, and the command was taken by General Hess, who half way up the hill showed three or four lengths in advance of Xuruilo and Bosh, side by side to the straight, soon after entering which the pair were beaten. The favourite, thus becoming second, was immediately joined on the inside by Gunner, both thence waiting at the heels of Lord Uxbridge's horse, who shot his bolt at the distance, and the three year old having the best of the mare afterwards won cleverly by half a length; bad third. Mr Bryan claimed Xurullo. Run in 2min 20sec.

The favourite cut out the work with a clear lead of Curie, two or three lengths from whom Lord Glasgow's colt whipped in for about a mile, and then took second place, had the favourite safe all the way home, and, depriving him of the lead at the lawn, won in a canter by two lengths ; Curie, after lying pretty well up to the rails, finishing a dozen lengths last.

The race was set for 2: 45, but nearly half an hour had elapsed ere the twenty- nine competitors were fairly in the hands of the starter, who fortunately had less difficulty than ever in getting the large field in order, seeing that after two or three attempts, scarcely deserving the term of " false starts,'' they got away on capital terms precisely at twenty minutes past three o'clock. Biondella, with Fravola at her quarters, were first made out in advance, the division running in a body with them in the centre of the track comprising Lady Clifden, Alinack, Lord Burleigh, and Muezzin. Their immediate attend- ants were Polynesia, Exchequer, Birdhill, Queen of Spain, Dol- phin, Bohemia, and Miss Livingstone; the extreme left of the line being flanked by Entremet, nearly level with whom, on the oppo- site side of the course, was Amazonian. Upon the dropping back of Mr Naylor's pair at about two hundred yards it became a moot point which of the two " outsiders'' above named was actually leading, though at the commencement ot the rails Mr Jaques's filly was clearly in command, Muezzin, second, having now slightly the best of Lady Clifden and Dolphin ; most prominent behind whom of the centre- lying lot were Lord Chesterfield's mare and Birdhill. There was no other change until at the Stand the Woodyeates' representative beat a retreat, immediately upon which Judd brought up Birdhill with a rush on the left, headed Entremet in the last half dozen strides, and defeated her very cleverly by half a length ; Dolphin finishing three quarters of a length from the second. Lady Clifden was a good fourth, and Polynesia next, well up with her, followed by Cheerful, Lord Burleigh, Exchequer, Bohemia, Keane, East Sheen, Almack, Newmarket, and Biondella. The rearmost three were Poland, Fravola, and Miss Livingstone, save Peignoir, who cantered in lengths behind everything. Run n lmin 18sec.

Rogers 0 Betting: 5 to 4 agst Piccador, 6 to 1 agst Ace of Clubs, 7 to 1 agst Laughing Stock, and 10 to 1 agst Barbadoes. The favourite made slow running, followed by Barbadoes and Laughing Stock, the rest being headed by Freeholder. After proceeding thus for about three hundred yards Barbadoes went up to the leader, who, however, soon again drew ahead, and on passing the Stand was at least half a dozen lengths in advance of the Epsom horse, to whom succeeded Laughing Stock, Freeholder, and Ace of Clubs. They breasted the hill in these positions, though half way- up Piccador further increased his advantage by mending the pace, while Barbadoes breaking down at " the Clump," was passed by Lord Uxbridge's colt, and pulled up direcilyafterwards. In theen- suingquarter of a mile Laughing Stock's legalso gave way, where- upon Ace of Clubs, who had been quietly biding his time, be- came the immediate attendant of Piccador. Only the last named; two being now in the race, they ran in tolerable close company to the Stand, where the Ace quitted Lord Zetland's horse, and won in a canter by ten lengths; Ellangowan and Lord Clyde ran home together as far from the second.

The lead was taken by Chicot the Jester, followed by Nathalie and Dirt Cheap, who, however, soon fell back, and her place was taken by Salvioni. In this way they ran to half way up the rails, where Lord Stamford's colt was in trouble, after which the favourite and Bradamante, from the commencement lying handy by themselves on the inside ground, came out and finished the race, iEtna win- ning very cleverly by a head. Salvioni was two lengths from the second, as far in advance of Chicot the J ester, who was fourth, Nathalie and Hedworth being the two next, Illusion a long way in the rear. The winner was claimed by Mr Joseph Dawson. Run in lmin 21sec.

Half a dozen failures preceded the start, in one of which the lot came on nearly to the rails. However, directly the signal was given, the Alma colt showed in advance, with the others nearly in line at his heels to the half distance, whence Durham and Crytheia became singled out with the leader, though neither reached him, and he won by a length; the second saving his stake by a neck. At a widish interval the favourite was fourth, Beatrix fifth, Audacieuse next, the last two being Mr Merry's colt and Al- liance. Run in 54sec.

For the Stakes An- fleld was in force, and at 7 to 4 backed for upwards of a thousand. 500 to 100 was taken about Blondin, and 600 to 100 laid against Bellman. After as little as 16 to 1 had been accepted about Loiterer, a well known northern speculator laid 20 " centuries" against Count Batthyany's horse. At 20 to 1 Brian Boru, the Wasp gelding, and Magnum Bonum respectively found friends. For the Cup nothing seemed to go down but La Toucques, about whom 3 to 1 was eagerly taken, backers offering to " go on'' to any amount. Not more than 5 to 2 was obtainable about the French crack before " moving on." The favourite, Buckstone, was never once enquired after. The only Leger bet that came under our notice was 4,000 to 200 about Lord Clifden.

WEDNESDAY— Fortunately for those w ho look forward to their annual trip from towntoGoodwoodbythespecialtrainsontheprin- cipal days, and for visitors in general, the weather on Wednesday( as on the previous day, continued delightfully fine, and the well- known scene along the south coast disclosed the commencement of harvest operations, and gladdened the eye of many a voyageur who for a brief time exchanged the sultry glare of the " pop'lous city" for the glades of Goodwood. There was, as a matter of ° ourse, a great increase in the attendance, more especially in the Ring and enclosure, for although it is notorious that the Good- wood Stakes, like most other handicap events of the same degree has suffered from the repeated " milking " operations and other little games to which it has been made subservient, the general attractions of the meeting and thearnount of interest yet possessed by this individual race, in spite of all drawbacks, are sufficient to render the " Stakes Day " a red letter one in the racing almanack. As on Tuesday, the curd was not calculated to impress one with the notion of a heavy day's sport, and the Goodwood Derby, with its eleven subscribers, was a match to commence with between Jarnicoton and War Horse, and the Frenchman, being the best of a moderate pair, was made ttie favourite, and he managed to defeat his still more moderate rival very easily at the finish. Of the five and twenty handicapped and coloured'' for the Plate of Fifty Sovs, T. Y. C.," half a dozen only faced the starter; and old Spicebox, who certainly looked well in at 7st 131b. was freely backed at 6 to 4, but he disappointed his bickers, and Liston, run- ning gamely, defeated Despair— better known by his former cog- nomen of Fig— right cleverly. The Sweepstakes of 300 Sovs each, like the Goodwood Derby, was reduced to a match between Cas sidia and Gold Dust ; the former, on whom 6 to 4 was betted, winning easily. An interval Of three quarters of an hour elapsed between the last- named " match'' and the Goodwood Stakes race; and as a notice had been printed at the head of the cards, which set forth that, " In order to save time the Stewards direct that for all the races this day, except the Goodwood Stakes, the horses are to assemble at the winning post when mounted, and as soon as the course is clear, canter down to the starting post;" and as the rule had been strictly enforced, ample time was allowed in the interval alluded to to pursue specu- lation on the " big race," for which Anfield, already backed for " heaps of money," remained very firm, while Bellman also steadily held his ground as second favourite. Both the Wasp gelding and Balham had an upward tendency, but Blondiri, on the contrary, was so much out of favour, that it was waggishly suggested lie had " tumbled off the ropes," while Blackdown ad- vanced from 20 to 1 to 10o to 7, being backed to win a large stake at various odds between the prices indicated. The field eventually was composed ef thirteen starters, a larger number than was generally anticipated, considering the comparative limited number of horses that had been backed in earnest for it. Of the non runners, Knutsford, Myrtle, Evenhand, and Brian Boru were the most note- worthy, as having been " put up" from time to time in the market. The race itself was in reality in very narrow compass, for Jack o'Heavts, who was started to serve his stable companion Blackdown, performed his work effectually, and Blackdown then taking his place, beat the favourite, who ran a slow, game horse, by an easy three- quarters of a length, the stable companion of the winner finishing third. The winner, who did not run in public last year as a two year old, though he figured once in a match " at home," over hurdles, which he won, is in Drewitt's stable, and was hacked and hunted during the winter by Fordham, and was " on sale" at a very low figure. He has been out twice before this season, in the Craven 8takes at Epsom, and in the Glasgow Stakes at the same meeting, in both of which he was unplaced He was, however, very highly tried with Bally Edmond, Rubicon, and Jack o'Hearts, over the Lewes race course, and won a long way, while Rubicon brokedown in the encounter. This led to the hitherto little known or thought ot Blackdown being backed for a stake at the last at long prices— his friends making a " waiting race" of it— so that a large amount was won over him. Colonel Astley was spoken of as " the principal winner," having backed the horse, it was said, to win twenty thou- sand pounds, although a portion only of it was for himself. This report was, however, exaggerated, and those who go on the safe principle of believing " half they hear" will be nearer the truth in this instance. The quondam favourite Anfleld is an Irish horse, bred by Mr Hewetson, of Anfield, county Kilkenny, and got by Confessor, dam by Barbarian, out of Allegretta, and was purchased last year out of the Messrs Keegan's stable, Ffrench F. House, Curragh, much to the dissatisfaction of the stable, they having at the time formed a very high opinion of his capabilities. Concerning the other performers in the race beyond those already mentioned, we need only say that Bellman hit him- self on the off fetlock joint, which, on pulling up, was found to be sligntlysprained. Zapateado again, it wasnotorious, pulled up rather lame on the previous day, but the symptoms disappeared this morning, and it was determined to run him on the off'chance of his improving on yesterday's form; but he broke down some distance from home. Of the others, nothing had the ghost of a chance with the winner. Despite his previous defeat in the first handicap, Spicebox was at last made slightly the best favourite for the Cowdray Stakes, over the same distance, and in this weight for age race he proved more fortunate than in his previous essay, beating the five " weedy" ones opposed to him without the slightest difficulty. The Firidon Stakes came next, and although it had lost much of its interest from the unfortunate accident that befel Molly Carew last week at Winchester, as also from the absence of Scottish Chief— reserved for the Molecomb Stakes— it yet retained sufficient attraction, and brought out a dozen to con- test it, of whom, notwithstanding the prestige of Tomato, who was penalised 31b, Linda ( highly tried) came out afresh to- day with such a high private reputation that she was in- stalled the leading favourite, and was backed freely at 5 to 4, Tomato being invested on at 100 to 30 and 7 to 2, while Paris was also supported for money at 6 to 1. The only other invested on was Master Richard at a longer price by some points. Tomato scarcely ran up to her Ascot form, and the " crack " was defeated by Paris, who was purchased at the sale of Mr R. Wright's yearlings for 350 guineas. The winner, it will be remembered, ran in the Maiden Two Year Old Plate, at Abingdon, " unbacked " and unplaced, a circumstance easily ex- plained by the fact of his stable companion Echo, who was the leading favourite, running in the same race and winning. In- quiries were immediately made after the winner for the Derby, and 2,000 to 80 was instantly booked about him, those odds being afterwards currently offered. The Drawing Room Stakes only attracted three runners out of the seven coloured; Jarnicoton, the Wasp gelding, and Blackdown having already " done duty"— the latter effectually; while OId| Orange Girl was reserved for her race on the morrow, and the opponents of Macaroni were Gunner and Escape. Neither, however, had the slightest chance with the Two Thousand and Derby winner, who looked in superb condition, and carrying 101b penalty for his " blushing honours" he stalled off the effort of Escape without making one in return. Buckenham was a great " pot" for the Handicap Plate of 100 sovs, Craven Course, but The Principal with Fordham up was more fortunate than over the shorter course on the preceeding day, for he pulled off' the event, whereas Buckenham, who was giving the winner 111b, was a bad third. The winner afterwards " exchanged" hands, and goes into R. Boyce's stable. There was very little betting on the Cup, but it was a near thing between the French filly and Buckstone at the close as to the favouritism, although at last the filly had undoubt- edly the call, for 600 to 500 was betted on her against him, other- wise there was no material change. Later at night, at Brighton, one or two " signs" were made, and Myrtle was introduced into the betting as recorded below.

The restiveness of the favourite caused one or two failures, after which Zora got away in advance, attended on the left by Despair, Liston. and Spicebox, this trio lying nearly abreast until the latter gave way rather more than two distances from home, when Lord Uxbridge's colt deprived Zora of the command, and won by a length and a half. Despair, heading the old mare in the last, few strides, beat her for second by half a length, the favourite and Melandra finishing pretty well up with them; Weatherglass tailed off".

Immediately the canters were ended Magnum Bonum, as usual, turned fractious, nor was obedience enforced until a man going to his head led him through the parade ceremony, which was completed, arid the horses set going at the first attempt precisely at 2: 45, the appointed time. As soon as they were settled into places, Jacko' Hearts, acting as pilot for Blackdown, went to the fore and cut out the work at his best pace a length in advance of Loiterer and the favourite, to whom suc- ceeded Blackdown, Canzonette, and Blondin, at the head of the ruck, in the rear of which were Lord Glasgow's mare and Bell- man. This order was maintained for about three quarters of a mile, when Loiterer disappeared from the front division, and his place was taken by Zapateado, followed by the light weight and Barchettina, side by side, Anfield, Blondin, and Balham going on at their heels to the turn for the back of the hill, where Magnum Bonum ran into second place. His immediate attendants on coming into sight were Barchettina and Canzonette, both of whom, however, speedily beat a retreat with Zapateado, whose near fore leg had just previously given way, while the Maid of Masham filly, running unkindly and swerving to the left at the bend, now whipped in behind Bellman, biding his time in the wake of the main body The latter, however, became pretty well scattered before reaching the mile post, whence all apparently left with the ghost of a chance were Jack o'Hearts, still leading, Magnum Bonum, the favourite, Blackdown, Blondin, and Balham, these, directly the straight was entered, taking tolerably close order. At the commencement of the rails, Jack's mission being fulfilled, he fell back, and Blackdown assumed the command, having only the favourite sticking to him from the half distance, but who never reached him, and he won easily by three quarters of a length. Magnum Bonum's rider ceasing to persevere at the Stand, enabled Jack o'Hearts to get third " situation," half a dozen lengths from Anfield; Mr Fleming's horse, consequently, was fourth, Blondin fifth, Balham sixth, Loiterer seventh, Bar- chettina eighth, and Zapateado next. Of the others not passing the chair, Bellman, who hit his off fetlock joint and sprained it slightly half a mile from home, and the Wasp gelding, who never showed in any part of the race, cantersd in next, followed by Canzonette, who had been pulled up, and walked in, as did the Maid of Masham filly, after baiting at the last turn..

These positions were unchanged until at the half- mile post the leader was joined and headed by his stable companion to the half distance, where Paris made his effort, obtained the best of it in a few strides, and won very cleverly by a length.

There was again a considerable throng in front of the 8hip, but next to nothing was done on the great event, although La Toucques had undoubtedly the call as far as mere talking went. Neither Buckstone nor the French mare received much actual support, and their strong position almost parah sed speculation with regard to the other competitors, 7 to 1 " bar two" being freely offered without meeting with any attention. The only feature of the evening was the introduction of Myrtle into the betting, who was " nibbled at" for some time, and' after va- rious offers and " feelers" had been thrown out, was eventually backed for a very moderate sum at 10 to 1. An even hundred was laid on La Toucques against Buckstone. For the Leger a modest investment was made on Lord Clifden at 20 to 1, although at a later period that price was again wanted.

THURSDAY.— To recapitulate year after year the manifold and unexampled beauties of the Goodwood Cup day becomes at last a task of no little difficulty for the chronicler. The changes have been rung ad nauseam on all the leading features that characterise this leading fete of the racing world, the more so as Goodwood has generally been favoured by beautiful harvest weather, the excep- tions to this rule having been fortunately few and far between. The last Derby day was, as everybody knows, a most disastrous one for the pleasure seekers, but, the constant rain that then converted all enjoyment into discomfort and wretchedness proved a new field and a pasture new for Turf writers, who were for the nonce enabled to describe a scene miserable, indeed, but at all events novel in its general aspect. Last Thursday, however, no such chance was happily afforded the members of the " fourth estate," the Cup having been run for under more than usually favourable circumstances. The " waving corn'' that has been so oftendilate( j upon as being " ripe for the sickle" gave its usual promise of an " abundant harvest'' on the one side, while the " deep blue" sea on the other glistened in the " bright rays" of the sun that shone from a sky more than commonly " cerulean." However un-' welcome a tempest or tornado might be to the general frequenters of the Goodwood gathering, there is but little doubt that any such sensational visitation would be considered a boon by the purveyors of news, many of whom would scarcely object to the ground being rendered uneven going during the grand struggle by the throes of an unexpected, but mild earth- quake. We must, however, tell the " oft- told tale" of Thurs- day last over again, and are glad to have to congratulate those of our readers who were present on the enjoyment they probably experienced. The morning " specials" from London, together with the cheap trains, brought down a vast accession to the already unexampled host of visitors quartered in the towns and villages handy to the park. Mr Webley, the station- master at Brighton, is well qualified, by his long experience in the ma- nagement of the transit of large crowds, for the onerous duties in- cidental to such an occasion, and the " punctuality and despatch" with which trains were sent off reflect the highest possible credit on that gentleman's capacity and forethought. As usual, the fly drivers at Drayton and Chichester made a good thing of the help- less travellers, who were completely at their mercy, trudging the four miles up the long hill in the blazing heat being quite out of the question. The large number of vehicles obtainable, however, caused the demands, with some few exceptions, te be less exorbi- tant than has often formerly been the case. The dust was as blinding and penetrating as only Goodwood dust can be. and must have inflicted serious damage to many blooming toilettes during the journey of their fair wearers to the course. The Stand was crowded to excess, and the enclosure in front, presented a scene of excitement, animation, and bustle, quite on a par with that of the Derby Carnival ; while words cannot possibly describe the enchanting beauty of the scene on the lawn under the trees. There was to be seen a charming cluster of young Englishwomen, equalling in the taste and beauty of their toilettes those of their rivals in La Belle France. 8auntering to and fro, or seated at perfect ease upon the turf, and thoroughly entering into and en- joying the national pastime, they presented a scene indeed pro- vocative of enthusiasm and " fine writing.'' The lawn being altogether separated from the Ring, its aristocratic denizens were spared the vociferations which the members of that industrious body find it necessary to indulge in, in the exercise of their calling; and the other objectionable and unfortunately unavoidable attri- butes of a race course being also quite remote, the ladies are enabled to enjoy the sport withoutany of the drawbacks inevitable at most other meetings. Trundle hill presented a pretty feature with its many little groups of picnic parties, to whom, from their position, the appearance of the course and its surrounding country must have | presented a scene of wonderful beauty. The racing was, as will be seen, rather meagre throughout the day, and the chief interest centred in the " Cup >' race. Throughout the earlier part of the day a throng surrounded Messrs Garrard's splendid " Cup," which was unanimously pronounced a chef d'eeuvre. This trophy is an equestrian group, representing the Bruce attacked by Highlanders in a mountain pass, the sub- ject being taken from Scott's Tales of my Grandfather ; it was designed and modelled by Mr W. Spencer. As the hour big with the fate of thousands approached the excitement increased to a prodigious extent, and at the appointed time every inch from which anything like a view of the course on the Stand could be obtained was taken possession of. The aristocratic element was stronger than ever, and it would simply be an impossibility to enumerate the brilliant names " famed in story'' whose owners were present. At Goodwood House a goodly company were assem- bled to enjoy the magnificent hospitality of the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, comprising, amongst others, the Duke of Cambridge, the Marquis of Ailesbury, Lord Chesterfield, Lord Glasgow, Lord Wilton, Lord Stafford, Lord Annesley, Lord Westmoreland, Lord and Lady Newport and Miss Anson, Lord Hamilton and Lady Georgiana Hamilton, Lord Can- terbury, Lord Bingham, Lord Douglas. Lord Henry Scott, Lord H. Gordon Lennox, Lord Alexander Gordon Lennox. 8ir R. Brownrigg, Mr and Lady Augusta Sturt, General Peel, General Newton, Col Towneley, Col Tower, Col Greville, Capt Saville, Mr C. Greville, and Mr George Payne. At Molecombe there was also a distinguished circle entertained by Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, including the Earl of Derby, Prince Hermann of Saxe Weimar, Lady Sophia and Sir H. des Yceux, Lady Mary and Mr Craven, Lord Coventry, the Duke and Duchess of Man- chester, and Lord Duncallan. Captain Valentine was, as usual, at his post, and officiated with his usual urbanity and courtesy; we regret, however, to add that he was suffering throughout the week from severe illness. Amongst the visitors who were attracted to Goodwood on this special day was the author of Vanity Fair, taking mental notes, it may be, for some future productions. We must now proceed to the de- tails of the day's sport. Apart from " the Cup" the sport, as already indicated, was, for the most part, rather tame, although the Molecomb Stakes, which afforded another peep at the Scottish Chief, kept up the excitement and sustained the in- terest of the racing after the first- named event had been decided. The easy manner in which Carnival defeated Jarnicoton for the opening event— the Sweepstakes of 50 sovs each, over a mile and a half— caused Isoline to become a much better favourite for the Goodwood Cup, and the layers of odds were equally fortunate in the three year old Bentinck Memorial Stakes, which Old Orange Girl— last year's victress — won " in a walk" from Almack. For the two year old race of the above de- signation four only of the seven- and- thirty entered put in an appearance, and Goldylocks, from her running second to Light for the Ascot Biennial Stakes, was a hot favourite. Whitewall was, however, doomed to defeat this journey, for the favourite showed much temper, ran very unkindly throughout, and finished last; while Lady Hylda, running in her " winning form" at Newmarket on the last day of the meeting, beat Rigol- boche by half a length. After this performance, Goldylocks was sold to Mr R. Boyce for 50 sovs. To this item succeeded the Racing Stakes, which, after an exciting struggle between the Wasp geld- ing and ( Enopides, was won by the former, on whom slight odds were betted, As the great attendance fully testified, the Cup Day is as popular as ever, and the race itself was this year fraught with no ordinary amount of interest, for England and France were once more about to contend for mastery on the Turf, and the French division were very sanguine of adding the Goodwood Cup to La Toucques's Derby and Oaks successes on the Continent; for although she was defeated easily enough by The Ranger in the Grand Prix, after her " double- event wins,'' it was a known fact that she was not then quite fit The followers of the yellow jacket were equally sanguine about Buckstone as were the Newmarket men about Isoline. Fair- water, too, had a host of admirers, who would not aJmit she could be beaten, and Lord 8t Vincent was not deemed out of the fray with his representative. Lord Zetland. Atherstone, who had been backed during the last week or so at odds ranging from 100 to 8 to 8 to 1— taken the day before— was struck out this afternoon at 12: 22. The announcement created surprise in some quarters, but not in others, for a whisper had been heard to the effect that the horse " would not do," and " that his party were going for another whom they had reasons for fancying." The features of the Cup betting to- day, prior to the race, may be thus summed up:— Buckstone, who on the previous evening gave way to La Toucques, was once more first favourite, it being very evident that the public were remarkably sweet on Mr Merry's horse, while La Toucques, without any assignable cause, save the support awarded to Buckstone, " Fairwater and Isoline, declined to 10 to 1, although she was brought back again a few points before the flag fell. Myrtle, who took the place of Atherstone in the market, advanced from 10 to 1 t « 6 to 1, and not more than 10 to 1 or 11 to 1 was finally ebtainable about Zetland. This lot and the unbacked " Barb" Mazagan comprised the field. A movement was next made t< the grove at the rear of the Stand, and a large number took pass checks, in order to take stock of the seven competitors whilst they were being saddled in that shady spot. Buckstone looked re- markably well, and as full of muscle and bloom as his numerous friends could wish; arid Fairwater looked much better than we have hitherto seen her this season. There was no fault to be found with Zetland's condition, but, as the sequel showed, his round joints would not allow him to act over such a course. Myrtle appeared to have been hurried in her preparation, ar. d was both light and sweated a good deal. La Toucques, " the French Blink Bonny,'' who is a somewhat coarse, big- looking filly, wras greatly improved, and it was evident her trainer had done his full duty by her. Isoline, who is a rather light and wiry filly, was likewise in splendid condition ; while Mazagan, " the pure bred barb," is a thick punchy horse, and although he had the best of the weights, " all to nothing'' he was neither fancied by his noble owner or the public. The pace was bad for the first two miles, as was attested by the long time " The Barb" showed in front. The favourite ran a game horse, and— shut out at one period of the race— he tired under his weight, as did also Fairwater, and the final struggle was left to the two three year olds, Isoline and La Toucques, and the former staying the longest won by a neck, while of the others Fairwater " landed'' her numerous " place backers" by finishing a bad third. The winner has but recently joined G » dding's stable, having been purchased by Mr Naylor from Mr T. Parr only a few weeks ago, and first appeared in his name on the New- market card for the Queen's Plate for mares, for which she was entered, but did not start. She ran fourth for the Oaks, subse- quently to which she defeated Caller Ou, of whom she was re- ceiving 361b, by half a length, for the Tradesmen's Cup, over two miles, at Manchester. Thus two years in succession have the three year olds been victorious, as during the last dozen years they have been nine times. The field for the Molecomb included nine runners, and com- prised three or four of the best looking two year olds that have been out this season, of whom William Day's filly Sardinia— by Stockwell out of Ferrara— came out with a great reputation, and was at once made the favourite, although the French filly, Fille de 1' Air, who has perhaps been more highly tried than any two year old out this year, at last came very " warm," which caused Sardinia to recede a shade or so. Scottish Chief— who looked dull and not quite up to the mark— was also backed for money at 3 to 1, and Idler was invested on at double these odds. The wagering, which was heavy, being chiefly confined to these four. The French filly was penalised 51b for beating Molly Carew for the Woodcote Stakes, at Epsom, as was Scottish Chief for his pre- vious successes. The penalty, however, had little or no effect upon the filly, who cut down the whole lot in a canter. The defeat of The Scottish Chief was followed up by offers of 15 to 1 against him for the Derby, while 40 to 1 was eagerly proffered against the Alma colt. Of the other items, it will suffice to say that Bohemia won the Chichester Stakes, beating the top- weighted favourite. Lady Clifden, arid half a dozen others; and that the Four Year Old Bentinck Memorial Stakes went away in a walk over for Bucken- ham; as the Sussex Stakes did for La Belle F6ronniSre. As little as 10 to 1 was taken in the coHrse of the afternoon about Lord Clifden for the St Leger, and after Isoline's Cup victory Queen Bertha was backed at 8 te 1, and Judex at 50 to 1, for the same event.

Several mi- nutes over the time having been occupied in " stock- taking," and in slowly marching past, the horses eventually reached the post, and were despatched in line at a quarter past three o'clock, Mazagan in a few strides taking up the running at a very mode- rate pace. He was succeeded by Fairwater and Isoline, the others being handy to them, with the exception of La Toucques, lying off in the rear. In this way they quitted the straight, when Myrtle took second place, after which, in descending for the bottom, the two leaders stole lengths ahead of their opponents, but came back in rounding " the clump." Mazagan, however, continued at the head of affairs, with MrFitzwilliam's mare at his heels, Isoline gsing on third, Zetland fourth, Fairwater fifth, the favourite next, La Toucques last, about a length each di- viding the lot as they re- appeared from behind the hill in Indian file. There was but little variation until half- way up the final ascent the French mare came to the left of her horses, and so far improved her position that on the retirement of the Duke of Beaufort's horse when fairly in the straight, she became the at- tendant of Isoline, now in advance. On the whip- hand of them were Myrtle and Zetland, with Fairwater next the rails, Buckstone now lying immediately in the wake of the last- named mare. Approaching the rails, whence the issue gradually dwindled to a match. La Toucques took a slight lead of Isoline, and held it to within the distance, where the latter again got her head in front, an advantage she retained to the end, and won a fine race by a neck Fairwater was third, eight or ten lengths off, followed successively by Zetland, Buckstone, and Myrtle, the light weight having been pulled up without passing the chair.

After a slight delay, during which Alpheus and Fille de l'Air displayed some fractiousness, the lot got away almost in a line, the French filly next the rails, with Outlaw well laid up, Scottish Chief and the favourite lying together at the girths of Mr Bray- ley's horse in the centre, Idler following in the wake of the leader. The favourite and Outlaw were disposed of below the distance, and Scottish Chief from thence became the immediate attendant upon Fille de l'Air, who retained her lead, and won easily by a couple of lengths; Idler was beaten a length from Scottish Chief, Llangollen and Sardinia, side by side, were next, clear of the third, then came Esperanee, Outlaw, and Alpheus in the order named; Alliance pulled up, and did not pass the post.

When the flag was lowered Bohemia showed in advance, but soon gave way to Erythia, who carried on the running, with Lady Clif- den and Kingswood in attendance, to within the distance, when Bohemia came again, and won by four lengths; the favourite passing Lord Uxbridge's filly at the Stand, and beating her for second half as far.

The enclosure was crowded, and many ladies again graced the lawn and the balconies. As the meeting commenced with regard to weather, so it terminated, as the day was delightful, a refreshing Seabreeze tempering the extreme heat that has prevailed through- out the week. The opening event of the meeting brought out four of the seven coloured, and was won by Fantail, with 6 to 4 on her, Cassidia, the only other backed, being defeated easily by a length. But two runners were telegraphed for the Queen's Plate, and the appearance of Isoline's number for such a journej', after her severe and triumphant struggle for the Cup the day pre- ceding, caused general astonishment, eliciting some comments as I to the policy of " asking" so valuable a mare to do so much. 3 to 1 was laid on Mr Naylor's filly, and the result of the race | caused indescribable excitement. Her opponent. Millionaire, lay | in front to the Stand, and Challoner on Isoline within the straight, ! failing to get up,' commenced riding, while Mr Bryan's horse ; seemed to be winning with such ease that the odds veered round, : and when they were within the distance 3 to 1 was laid on Millionaire. " At the Stand, however, the old one tired, and Isoline by sheer gameness just beat him by a neck, the Cup winner, however, beingdreadfullypunished. Thetwoyearold form displayed of late by Mr Ten Broeck was further exemplified in the Nursery, which brought out a field of thirteen, and for which he ran first and second with Paris and Idler, declaring to win with the former. The winner, despite his penalty, was a great pot at evens, in some instances a slight shade of odds being laid on him, and he landed his backers'money with the greatest ease. The second favourite, Linda, was never in the race, and scarcely anything else was backed for money. Paris was, immediately afterwards, enquired afterfortheDerby. and 100 to 6 was ultimately taken about him, while those odds being offered against Scottish ! Chief, he may be said to have passed MrMerry's colt in the betting, ! the favourite, Cambuscan, however, remaining firm at 14 to 1. 50—^ j to 1 was laid against Mail Train, who finished third, pulling up. j The Richmond Plate resulted in a dead heat between the favourite, I Dolphin, and Bosh, the Woodyeates colt being entirely unbacked. Subsequently Dolphin, on whom odds were laid, waited upon Bosli to thedistance, where he challenged, and an exciting struggle took place, terminating in favour of Mr Ten Broeck's horse by a neck. The Chesterfield Cup is from Messrs Hunt and Roskell's well- known establishment, and was universally admired. It con- sists of a rich silver tazza. and the group on the cover repre- sents King Edward the Third and his son, Edward the Black Prince, on the battle field of Cressy. The group is in illustration of the following passage from Froissart:—"' Sweet son ! God give you good perseverance ! You are my true son, for loyally have you acquitted yourself this day, and worthy you are of a crown.' Young Edward bowed very lowly, and, humbling him- self, gave all the honour to the king his father.'' On the foot are figures of Fame and Victory, and shields bearing the feathers and coat of arms as on the tomb at Canterbury. The whole is most poetically and beautifully designed by'Mr A. Barrett, and the workmanship is worthy of the firm's great reputation. This magnificent prize produced the largest field of the meeting but one— that of the Stewards' Cup— no less than twenty- one of the coloured forty being brought out. Tornado opened the first fa- vourite, being backed when the number first went up at as little as 3 to 1. Ace of Clubs was also supported, on the strength of his victory over the Queen's Plate course on Tuesday. Subsequentl y, however, both were supplanted by Muezzin, who, backed by his stable, speedily became a warm favourite at 4 to 1, the two for- mer receding to 6 to 1 and S to 1 respectively. Several others found partisans, but Blackdown, who opened at 4 to 1, " went away" to 20 to 1. Full details of the race, which resulted in " a fine struggle between the two first, will be found below. A most provoking delay at the post for the March Stakes, together with the running off of the dead heat, caused the proceedings to be prolonged somewhat, inconveniently, the difficulty of getting home being taken into consideration. The general working of the railway arrangements was excellent, and only on one occasion was there cause for any complaint. On the Stakes day, owing probably to some " hitch" at Chichester, there was but a meagre allowance of " specials" to Brighton, and a tiresome delay and a rather unreasonably late arrival some- what damaged dinners and tempers. The police arrangements were, as usual, entrusted to the experienced hands of Mr Superin- tendant Walker, assisted by Inspectors Eccles, Bradstock, Glover, and Detective Williamson, whe had his eye on the light- fingered, and a select and efficient body of the A division, whose band, by the way, " discoursed sweet music" each evening, to the great delectation of the noble company at Goodwood House.

At last, however, Mr M'George sent them going in a compact body, the trio immediately in ad- vance being Junius, Linda, and Gordian Knot, who alternately led the van, waited on by Mr Ten Broeck's two, Young Rapid, and Madcap. These composed the forward division to the dis- tance, when Paris deprived the light- weight of the lead, and was directly afterwards joined by his stable companion, the former win- ning easily by a length. Mail Train, passing several of the stop- ping horses at the Stand, finished third, about four lengths from the second; Antoinette was fourth, Young Rapid fifth, followed by Junius and Madcap,[ the rest beiug widely scattered.

They got away at the third attempt, New- market leading for the first hundred yards, after which the running was taken up by the Calliope colt, with Blackdown and Aurelian at his shoulders, those most conspicuous of a lot in their wake being Tornado, Tippler, Ace of Clubs, The Monk, Cheerful, and Polynesia, the favourite by himself to the left of them, in which order they ran to the foot of the hill in the straight, where Mr Merry's colt was beaten. Aurelian, with Ace of Clubs, Lord Chesterfield's mare, and Tippler in at- tendance, then showed in advance, Polynesia, however, dying away at the distance, whence the issue was confined to the three placed, a splendid struggle terminating in favour of Lord Annes- ley's colt, who got his head in front at the lower end of the lawn, by half a length, Tippler finishing three lengths from the second. At more than twice that interval'Tornado was fourth, Cheerful fifth, the grey next, Blackdown and Lord of Linne heading the stragglers, last of whom were the favourite, Agag, and Black Deer, the latter, like Turcos and Tademus, having lost consider- able start, and took no part in the race.

HARTLEPOOL AND WEST HARTLEPOOL RACES, DURHAM. Treasurer, Secretary, and Clerk of the Course : Mr J. Lawrenson. Judge : Mr R. Jbhnson, York. Starter: Mr a. Dawson, Mid- dleham. Clerk of the Scales: Mr H. Magoris. These races took place on Monday and Tuesday, and with highly favourable weather on both days drew together an im- mense assemblage of company. The course was hard, and is short of a mile round, but in all probability it will be considerably im- proved before next year, as we understand it can be ex- tended, at a trifling cost, over a mile and a half. The fields were small, but the racing was good. Great credit is due to Mr Lawrenson, the Clerk of the Course, for his exertions on hehalf of his brother sportsmen. The only event on the first day deserving of notice is the Hartlepool Handicap, which afforded a good race with the first three, Captain Crow, with the top weight, winning by a short half length ; Lord Dundreary hung very much at the last turn, ran over a post, which caught YVhiteley's head, and he was very much cut, but a doctor being at hand, the wound was attended to, and he was enabled to ride on the second day. The Btand receipts were much the same as other years. The sport on the second day was a slight improvement upon the first, and everything passed off in the most satisfactory manner.

In this order they ran till within half a mile of home, where Retento took the seoond place, and at the last turn Lord Dundreary ran over a post, and Prologue became third. Retento made her effort at the dis- tance, but never quite getting up was beaten, after a good race, by half a length ; second beating the third a length ; bad fourth. Ace of Trumps was last all the way, beaten off. The CONSOLATION SCBAMBLE of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for all ages ; winner to be sold for 100 sovs ; T. Y. C., & c ; 6 subs. Mr J.

We are requested to state that Turcos was scratched on the 6th ult, at 9: 30 p. m., for the Handicap won by Zeloo on the 7th, at the Newmarket July Meeting Mr W. Lowery, of Stockwell, for many years stud groom to the late Mr Theobald, and who had been unwell for some time, died suddenly when about to start from home for Goodwood Races. Indolence, 3 yrs, was claimed at Goodwood by Mr York, after having won a selling race; but, through not having been fetched away the same night, the claim did not stand good, and he re- mains in Jennings's. STAMFORD RACES, 18 ' 4.— The Duke of St Albans and Lord St. rathmore have consented to act as Stewards for the Stamford Meeting next year. A new two year old race, to be called the Milton Stakes, of 100 sovs, has closed with 10 subscribers. DEATH OF MR JOHN DALEY.— This much- respected trainer expired at Newmarket early on Monday morning last. Mr Daley's health had become very enfeebled of late, but the immediate cause of death was the rupture of a bloodvessel.

WARWICK SEPTEMBER RACES.— At a recent meeting of the race committee it was resolved, with a view of preventing more walking over, to add 75 sovs to the Warwick Cup, the subject of which this year is the equestrian statue of Oliver Cromwell, £ 50 of which sum will be given to the second horse, and £ 25 to the third; distance, two miles and a half, instead of three. Four to run, or the added money will not be given. RICHMOND RACES.— We beg to draw the attention of owners and trainers to an advertisement detailing particulars of the Richmond Handicap, Burton Handicap, and the Members' Plate Stakes, which close and ria- ne August 4. As these races take place on the Tuesday and Wednesday immediately following Doncaster Meeting, when horses have got through their heavy en- gagements, a good number may be expected to find their way to Richmond. EDINBURGH AND LOTHIANS MEETING.— This meeting, which was so fully alluded to lately by our correspondent " Iconoclast" as one of the most improving of the Scottish reunions, is fixed for the 30th of September, and, under the able management of Mr J. Turner, will doubtless prove highly successful. Full particulars as to the stakes and time of closing will be found in our adver- tising columns. STOW BRIDGE RACES.— As Downham Races appear to have suffered a temporary collapse, a little meeting was got up on Wednesday, July 29, at Stow Bridge, a village about four miles from Downham, when about 1,500 persons attended, and appeared to enjoy the day's proceedings. The sport was, however, only so- so, and it will be sufficient to append the bare results :— The Ladies' Plate of 5 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 10s each, for galloways not exceeding 14 hands, was won by Mr Holmes's brown gelding Gamester, beating Mr Green's brown gelding Billy go by ' em and Mr Strangleman's grey mare Blink Bonny.— The Stow Bridge Stakes of 7 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 10s each, for hackneys, lOst, were won by Mr Frost's Freeman, Mr Hardy's bay mare Lady Caroline being second; seven ran.— A Match between Mr Green's brown gelding Billy go by ' em and Mr Shelton's chesnut mare Haphazard was won by the latter.— The West Head Stakes of 3 sovs, with a Sweepstakes of 5s each added, for ponies not exceeding 13 hands, were won by Mr Causin's Flyblow, beating Mr Gamble's chesnut pony Queen Bertha and two others. The remaining races were between donkeys! The racing, on the whole, was inferior, and instead of dissipating the sporting strength of the neighbourhood in this manner, it would surely be better to aim at a concentration of energy at Downham. TURF NEWS FROM FRANCE. The celebrated French horse Cosmopolite died of inflammation last Thursday week, at La Morlaye. Mons Reiset purchased Leonidas after his race at Challon sur Saone. Bochet, 5 yrs, was sold to Mr Daley after he ran second in the hurdle race at Boulogne, and he is now trained in EBgland. THE REUNION IN SUSSEX. Real Goodwood weather heralded the opening of the grand racing tour in Sussex, and materially assisted in sustaining tlie^ res- tiffe of the meeting, which was thoroughly stormed by fashion ables from first to last— so much so, that Chichester, Worthing* and Bognor were unusually full, as was also every inhabitable town within some miles of the course, the difficulties of proceed- ing to and returning from the scene of operations being looked upon as nothing in comparison with the pleasures of the magnifi- cent drive through the country. The success of the gathering is mainly dependant on the elements, and consequently the poor, ness of the fields in many instances on the three first days was scarcely noticed, in the excitement of the many " great events'' brought to issue, these latter not abating one jot in the interest * hey excited. The field for the Craven was not so good, either in quality or quantity, as we have occasionally seen go down to the starter, and it was hardly looked upon as a " trial" for any one of the forth- coming events of the meeting, only Waterwitch carrying any money, and she was one of the hottest favourites that ever got bowled over, the shifty Gunner being prevailed upon to try for once, so that he had no difficulty in upsetting the equally uncer- tain VVaterwitch, who stopped the moment Custanee called upon her. There was also a poor field for the Ham Stakes, Mirage and Izaac Walton, who had both been beaten more than once before, being unable to cope with Mr Merry's pretty filly by Saunterer out of Mcestissima. She showed some quality by winning easily from Izaac Walton, although the latter looked and went so well that many of the talent stood him in preference to the crack, and he may yet do a good thing. For the Gratwicke there were no more starters than prizes to be picked up, the second gaining a clear 100 sovs and the third saving its forfeit. However, some excitement was caused by the favour- ite, Zapateado. gettingbowled over by Clariorvery easily, a result no one who saw the two horses beforehand was astonished at, as Lord Glasgow's colt showed by far the most quality, while he was also better prepared. The Stewards' Cup was remarkable for the brief delay that oc- curred at the starting post, the field being despatched in capital order, considering its numerical strength, and a fast run race re- sulted in the somewhat clever victory of one of our selected, Bird- hill, who won the race the moment" he was called upon— which was not done, however, until nearly everything else was done with, first Lord Burleigh, next Biondella, and then Dolphin, Lady Clifden, and Entremet, indulging their friends with the idea they were about to secure the much coveted trophy. Lady Clifden ran a good mare under her weight, but not exactly in her old form, as she was within a nsck of Entremet at Doncaster last September over about the same distance when giving away 541b, and was only conceding 371b on this occasion. Aluezzin never showed in the race, and Lord of Linne so far deceived his backers that his stable companion, Dolphin, proved a long way the superior of the two. Lord Zetland was no better represented by Piccador in the 100 sovs Sweepstakes, on the Queen's Plate Course, than he was by Zapateado in the Gratwicke, as he most signally failed in the cutting down game, Edwards having sent him along so indus- triously for the first three miles that he was dead beaten after rounding the turn for home, from whence Aldcroft had only to wait patiently with the Ace of Clubs, and finally win with the greatest ease, to the dismay of many who had heavily potted the favourite, who was backed at odds on him in running. The easy defeat for the Gratwicke of his stable companion, Zapateado, who had beaten him easily, it was said, in a trial, prepared us for the discovery that Piccador was only a moderate h » rse; but it was something startling to see him outstayed by Ace of Clubs, who never had the credit of a capability to get beyond a mile, and startled the talents as much as his brother Sweetsauce did, when he ran away with the Goodwood Cup, in about the same style, three years ago. The Lavant was contested by an excellent lot of nine, Durham, Crytheia, the Knight of Snowdon, the Agra colt, and Alliance, who had all been out before, having to meet four fresh opponents in a colt by Saunterer out of Morgan la Faye; Beatrix, a French filly, byMonarque out of Miss Ion; a colt by Stockwell out of Alma ; and Audacieuse, a filly by Newminster out of Agra. The majority displayed some quality, and the winner turned up in the Alma colt, wha won all the way, and vindicated our opinion that the dark division might " produce something just good enough to beat the best of the public performers." He beat Cry- theia and Durham as easily as did Evelina at Newmarket, and Crytheia more cleverly than Scottish Chief did for the Chester- field; and W. Day's stable will be fortunate if it can find a better representative in the Derby, for he looks all over a race- horse, and performed, it must be borne in mind, about as well as any of the present favourites for the blue riband. In summing up upon this race in our last we committed an error, in making it appear Scottish Chief was the best of the public performers in the race, for he was not engaged, as our readers must have observed on perusing our remarks on the Lavant throughout, as he was not in the list we gave of the public horses. The mistake was com- mitted in the process of revising, the name having been hastily penned in place of Crytheia. There was little in the 50 sovs Plate, wherein Indolence beat the Principal, or in either of the first three races on the second day, won respectively by Jarnicoton, Liston, and Cassidia, for the Frenchman's opponent, War Horse, is a wretched bad one; but Cassidia showed game enough to beat Gold Dust for the 300 sovs Sweepstakes, and partly vindicated the character she bore before suffering Crafton Lass and Amelia to beat her easily at New- market Craven. The Goodwood Stakes, unlike any of the great handicaps pre- viously decided this season, was a race between the threeyear olds, the thirteen runners including eight juveniles, with weights ranging between 6st 81b ( Barchettina) and 5st 111b ( Canzonette), or a difference of 111b only. To meet these, we had two five year olds ( Bellman and Balham), with exactly the same weight be- tween them ( 111b) ; and on the Goodwood Cup scale the Bellman had but 51b the worst of the weights with Canzonette, and 61b the best of Barchettina, while Balham had a considerable pull over the whole body, as had also one of the two four year olds ( Magnum Bonum), who met Balham at a pound less than racing weights. The filly by Young Melbourne out of Maid of Masham had all the worst of it, consequently, with 8st 111b on her back, Barchettina and Canzonette having an advantage of 101b and 211b over her respectively ; so that no one will say the result would have been different bad she not bolted. The six year old Loiterer was meet- ing Canzonette on equal terms, but had no more friends than either the Maid of Masham filly, Magnum Bonum, Zapateado, Jack o' Hearts, Barchettina, or Canzonette. Barchettina looked handsome and racing- like as ever, and Bellman, Balham, Anfield, and Blackdown were all deserving of commendation ; but Blondin, when seen, went quite out of favour, and it was evidently not his day. Jack o'Hearts was pioneer for Blackdown, and played his part well for two miles, when he gave way to Blackdown and Anfield, who had the finish entirely to themselves, the outsider winning pretty cleverly. Bellman looked like getting into the fronton descending the hill, but fell lame in the attempt, and as mis no excuse whatever for any of the others, Blackdown nttbe set down a good horse, if the Anfield trial may be be- lieved, bad as his two previous performances were; those who saw him nearly last to Adventurer for the Craven Stakes at Epsom, and also to Ellerton for the Glasgow Plate, little dreaming what a good thing Drewitt had in store for his friends, who all won pretty good stakes, which they fully deserve, the stable having waited a long time for its turn of luok. In the Cowdray Stakes Spicebox was victorious, which says little for his opponents, as he was beaten easily by Liston not two hours previously ; but Indolence should have run better with him, when it is considered how she beat the Principal on Tues- day, for the latter beat both the Findon horses, Microscope and Buckenham, in the last race of the day, wherein the fielders got a rare turn, for which they may, perhaps, thank Kir. gswood's bolt- ing propensity. The Findon Stakes, in the absence of Scottish hief and the French Souchamp, was a comparatively tame affair, as Linda, Tomato, Paris, Polonaise, The Doctor, Master Richard, Sea Boy, Beatrix, the Phemy filly, the Mary Copp colt, and the Plush colt, had all been out before, and Tomato only to greatly distinguish herself; the only dark one in the field being Llangollen, a colt by Colsterdale out of Wynnstay's dam, about whom there was nothing uncommon. Nevertheless Linda was made as hot a favourite as was her stable companion, Pratique, far this same race last year, in despite of her running " nowhere'' for the New Stakes at Ascot; and she and Paris had the finish to themselves, although the latter beat her cleverly enough at last, and proved we had made no mistake when recommending him so strongly in our last for the Nursery. He had only started once before, when he ran unplaced to his stable companion, Echo, at Abingdon, which may consequently go for nothing, and we were not at all surprised at his victory, having made favourable mention of his pretensions more than once in these columns. The Drawing Room Stakes was a mere canter for Macaroni, with his 101b penalty; and if Lord Clifden can be got to the post for the St Leger, he must become a great favourite again, as there is no gainsaying the fact that the. two, when in form, are at least on an equality. On Thursday some quiet doings preceded the Cup; the 50 sovs Sweepstakes and Twelfth Bentinck Memorial being reduced to matches, and resulting as everybody expected, if the Thirteenth Memorial did not, Goldylocks cutting up so indif- ferently that it is surprising how she got between Light and Tomato at Ascot, a form none of her other races would warrant us in giving her credit to possess. Lady Hylda had done a pretty good thing at Newmarket, but was not backed with any spirit, and her owner evidently had no great confidence in her capabilities. The Cup was an exciting event, with its seven runners, Buck- stone, Fairwater, and Myrtle being all booked " certainties" by their respective admirers, and the appearance of the two first named certainly justified the confidence that was placed in them. If the Yankee mare was a little short of preparation, Isoline's con- dition was perfection, albeit she was pronounced too small; but few would have the French filly at any price all the day— for what reason no one could make out. Zetland, who took the place of Bellman on account of his mishap in the Stakes, never looked better in his best days, but he was not at home on the hard ground, and neither of the remaining old horses were capable of giving the weight to the two juveniles, who ran a severe race. home; Isoline's extraordinary gameness pulling her through by a neck, to the delight of the fielders generally, for had La Toucques won they would have had a very hard time of it. As in the Stakes, the three year olds showed they were not such a moderate lot this year, after all the abuse that has been heaped upon them, and the performance of La Toucques speaks well for the St Leger chance of The Ranger. The Molecomb was another sporting race, the 51b penalised Fille de l'Air and Scottish Chief having for their opponents Sar- dinia and Esperance, who showed for the first time, besides The Outlaw, Idler, Llangollen, Alliance, and Alpheus. Sardinia had been tried such a good animal that she was a very hot favourite until just the close; but'she had no chance with the public horses, the penalised pair running first and second, and the French filly winning § so easily that we are confirmed in the opinion Scottish Chief is no Derby horse, while if the Frenchmen have anything better in the stable, they will have as great a favourite for the blue riband as last year. The Chichester Handicap was a miniature Stewards' Cup, the seven starters being all remarkably fast, and Lady Clifden sus- tained another defeat, showing even worse form than in? the great event, although Bohemia was turned loose, and evidently prefers to make one in a small field than run in a crowd. Friday's proceedings were of the usual bustling description, and the sports quite up to the average. The Nassau Stakes turned out the gift it looked on paper fer Fantail, who was bound to beat Cassidia, Amelia, and Roly- poly over a mile, and the gentlemen all won heavily; but they were within an ace of receiving a steadier over the Queen's Plate, as Isoline only beat Millionaire by downright gameness, and it was surprising that her owner brought her out for such a journey, the Cup race being quite work enough for one week. Mr R. Ten Broeck was in his Umpire form with the Nursery, having run first and second with Paris and Idler, for which the previous performances of the pair at the meeting quite prepared the public, while their good looks and light imposts compelled us to stand them absolutely in our last. The only other contest of importance was that for the Chesterfield Cup, where Ace of Clubs had little difficulty in beating Aurelian, which proves him a better horse by many pounds than his performances previous to the meeting this season would make out. Muezzin, who played such a suspicious part in the market for the Stewards' Cup, was disappointed in his chance of landing a great " pot" by getting very badly off, and he will have to be kept a little longer before his backers can hope to get a return for their outlay, as handicap- pers are certain to take cognisance of the amount of money fairly heaped upon him. Tippler showed that weight makes no differ- ence to him by beating Tornado for places, as he gave her consider- ably more weight than at Stockbridge, where there was only a head between them; still the start was such an indifferent one that it is hardly fair to notice the positions of many that were be- hind him, more than one of which will see a better day. The whole of the forthcoming week will be occupied by the settling on the Goodwood events and the meetings at Brighton and Lewes, the programmes of which are both of the most attrac- tive character. Brighton commences on Tuesday with half- a- dozen races, and we shall have seven on Wednesday, £ 1,300 being added to the whole thirteen, or exactly £ 100 each. There are also ten set for the Club Day, Thursday, with £ 760 public money. The Brighton Stakes ( Handicap), one mile and three quarters, has a good acceptance, twenty- five of the forty- eight entries de- claring themselves satisfied with their imposts, and it happens, fortunately, the running for the Goodwood Stakes has not tended to spoil it, all who ran for that prize comprising the Bellman, Magnum Bonum, Jack o' Hearts, Barchettina, the Wasp gelding, and Blackdown, the latter having incurred a 10lb penalty which brings his weight up to 6st Sib. He can repeat the dose hs administered, to all his opponents, and should beat all the three year olds engaged ; but the Knave ( 4 yrs, 8st 21b) "( is meet- ing him at about racing weights, and Umpire ( 6 yrs, 8st 131b) with only two or three pounds the worst of them, and the strug- gle will be a most interesting one if the three meet, The Knave striking us as the most trustworthy. The Marine Plate, three- quarters of a mile, has a whole host handicapped, the best of which we take to be Cheerful and the selected of Mr Ten Broeck's. The Eleventh Brighton Biennial Stakes, for three year olds, will probably fall to the Gunner, who has the best of the weight with both Merry Hart and Avondale, and showed some little form at Goodwood, if he did not run up to that displayed here last year, when he beat Avondale, Cadeau, and Merry Hart easily. The Brig! iton Nursery Handicap, three quarters of a mile, is a valuable stake, and there will be a great number in the field, as the Goodwood doings have brought to light no " good thing," and all we have any liking for is J unius The Brighton Cup, about two miles, has 11 subs, with weights as under:— age st lb 4... 9 7 Buckstone Atherstone 5... 9 6 Bellman 5... 9 6 Fairwater 5... 9 2 Caller Ou 5... 9 2 age st lb Adventurer ( paid)... 4... 9 0 Zetland 4... 9 0 Buckenham 4... 9 0 Promotion 5... 8 2 Schoolmistress 3... 7 I Paste 5... 9 2 , Buckstone, Fairwater, and Zetland ran so indifferently in the Goodwood Cup, that we are compelled to stand on Caller Ou, who has only to travel south to look a real " good thing." The Champagne Stakes, one mile, has the same number entered as the Cup, as follows : age st lb Atherstone 5... 9 5 Man at Arms 6... 9 5 Umpire 6... 9 5 Fairwater 5... 9 1 Caller Ou 5... 9 1 Waterwitch 5... 8 11 age st lb Queen of Trumps ... 4... 8 10 Agag 4... 8 0 Gemma 4... 7 10 Tippler 3... 7 9 Black Deer 3... 7 9 It ought to be a fine point between Umpire and Tippler at the mile; but Gemma can beat the pair, at the great difference of weights, if she is to be pulled out for such a prize— which does not appear likely, seeing how rich were the two plums she des- pised at Liverpool, and in her probable absence we must declare for Tippler. The Twelfth Biennial Stakes is for two year olds, and resolves itself into a match between Midnight Mass and Fille de l'Air. as neither Goldylocks. Holly Fox, nor Gownsman may start, and it is at the mercy of the French filly. The Pavilion Plate is subject to previous running, and the other events have yet to be entered fer. For the Club Meeting there are only the two Biennials com- pleted, and we must award that for three year olds to Trumps, in the probable absence of Cachuca, and the two year old race to Durham, who will like the six furlongs. The Lewes meeting lias gradually improved year by year, until it is now in every way worthy of winding up the grand tour in Bussex, thanks to the energy of Mr Verrall, and we are sorry the programme is not in a condition for us to thoroughly enter into, only two of the thirteen events being as yet completed, as the De Warrenne Handicap and the Lewes Grand Free Handicap have to be accepted for. They each have tremendous entries, and such talent has been displayed in the adjustment of the weights that it would be a mad speculation attempting to find the winners, especially while the Brighton meeting is still pending. The Priory Stakes is a two year old race, with twenty- two sub- scribers, the list including Hengist ( 21b extra) and Diomed, and the former ran sufficiently well with Molly Carew, at Winchester, for us to give him the preference over Lord Rendlesham's colt, who was beaten very easily by Molly, at Epsom Spring. The All- aged County Cup, on the T. Y. C., is worth 140 sovs, but may not attract Lady Clifden after her two Goodwood defeats, and in the event of her staying at home there is another plum waiting for Lord Coventry's new purchase, Umpire, who is none the worse for being pulled out every day. The two days' meeting at Ripon St Wilfrid will take place on Monday and Wednesday, Aug 3 and 5, under the management of Mr J. Peart; but all we can say of it is that there is every pro mise of excellent sport. THE FINALE OF THE TOMATO CASE. Many years have elapsed since the racing world has been so shaken from its propriety as by— with feelings of thankfulness we write it— the now " settled" Tomato case, for the sub- ject had become both wearying and annoying. At the outset we stated our unprejudiced and candid opinion on the matter, and since that time have adverted to the subject only when, so to speak, it lias been thrust upon us. As a matter of duty, however we have noted the minutes of the proceedings relative to the case and brought the history of the same forward to last Thursday week, when it was agreed to refer the matter to " certain mem- bers of the Jockey Club who had no interest in it,'' but whose names did not then publicly transpire. The matter, however, is no secret now, the " certain members" applied to being the Duke of Richmond, Lord Glasgow, and General Peel. Resuming " the thread of our discourse" from the time of the last committee meeting, we refer our readers to the subjoined correspondence and final decision:— " The committee of Tattersall's, deeming themselves disquali- fied from deciding the Tomato case, in consequence of a majority of their members having bets on the race, have requested the Duke of Richmond, Lord Glasgow, and General Peel to decide in their place, and to give their opinion how the bets ought to go. The committee pledge themselves to accept their decision as final, and to enforce it upon all concerned over whom their autho- rity extends. ( Signed) " C. GBEYILLE. " ( In the name and on the behalf of the committee.)" " The members of the Jockey Club feel themselves unable to enter upon the subject to which they ai e invited by Mr Greville's letter— written on behalf of the committee of Tattersall's— until they receive in writing a statement of the case winch ' the com- mittee of Tattersall's feel themselves disqualified from deciding. ( Signed) " RICHMOND, ,- 4 " GLASGOW, i § ———— " J. PEEL '' ' The circumstances of the Tomato case will be found in the Racing Calendar containing the report of the Ascot meeting. On the Monday after the races there was a large gathering at Tat- tersall's to settle the accounts, and it was soon found that there was much difference of opinion as to the bets on the race Tomato won, and a general desire that the committee would settle the matter in some way. Admiral Rous, the only member of the committee who had no bets on the race, finding all his colleagues declining to act, in consequence of having bets, asked MrSturt and Mr Onslow to assist him in deciding the case. The result has been already stated. Against this decision a protest was offered, and a meeting of the committee took place to consider it. It was re- solved that the decision was null and void, Messrs Sturt and Onslow not being members of the committee. Against this reso- lution another protest was entered, when another committee was held, at which it was resolved that Mr O'Malley should be asked to give his opinion whether the decision of Messrs Sturt and Onslow should hold good, or if the case should be sent back to the committee. He advised that it should be sent back to the com- mittee, who again met and resolved that it should be referred to three members of the Jockey Club to decide, as almost all the committee had bets on the race. The Duke of Richmond, Lord Glasgow, and General Peel are asked to decide on the following points—" What is to be done with those who have backed or laid against Tomato ? What is to be done with those who have backed or laid against Lady Abbess, Midnight Mass, or any other horse who started in the race? ( Signed) C. GRETILLE." THE FINAL DECISION. " The backers of Tomato win. The backers of all other starters in the Fern Hill Stakes lose. ( Signed) " RICHMOND. *' GLASGOW. " J. PEEL." The " final decision" was given at Goodwood on Thursday, and thus ends this memorable case, the decision being in accordance with the opinion we expressed immediately after the Fern Hill Stakes were awarded to Baron Rothschild's filly. We have only to add, in conclusion, that we trust whatever angry feeling may have been caused by difference of opinion on the matter, it may now become obliterated. NOMENCLATURE. Mr T.

The facts of the case have already been detailed. The prisoner's defence was that he thought the gentle- men were going to attack him, and that he had stabbed them in self- defence. Evidence was forthcoming that he had been in con- finement as a lunatic. The magistrates committed him for trial at the next Aylesbury Assizes. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 2, 1863.

Thellusson, Commodore of the Eoyal Vic- toria Yacht Club, has had an interview with the admiral at Cher- bourg, and made arrangements for a sailing match from Eyde to that port on Aug 17, for a cup given by him. The principal autho- rities have notified, their intention of giving a series of fetes in honour of the Eoyal Victoria Yacht Club, to include a ball, fire- works, sailing and boat races, & c, on the 18th and 19th, during which time special trains will run from Paris to Cherbourg. The Commodore, Vice- Commodore, and members of the E. V. Y. Club give a return dinner to the authorities on the 19th. Mr G. Hob- son has presented two prizes to be sailed for from Cherbourg to Kyde. PRINCE OF WALES YACHT CLUB- BAILING MATCH, MONDAY, JULY 27.— The race for the two silver cups, value £ 25, offered by the club, did not take place for want of entries, the Octoroon alone having entered; so that the sailing was confined to the following boats of 9 tons and under, for a telescope and compass, value £ 10, presented by Mr J.

Harrison | Course, Erith to Chapman Head and back. Time for tonnage one minute per ton. The Bessie had been entered with the secretary to contend in this race, but had been withdrawn. The start took place at 0: 85: 30, with the wind very light and variable from E. The Novice made a bad start, being obliged immediately after she swung to put about, in order to avoid a brig at anchor. The Aerolite was first fully under canvas, and took a nice lead, fol- lowed by the Vision, and at Purfleet was a quarter of a mile ahead of the latter; shortly after, however, the Vision, coming down with a nice breeze, weathered upon her, and went well ahead. As the wind ever and anon died off, the race down be- came tedious, and was unmarked by any change, and although they all had a great deal of canvas upon them they did not suc- ceed in reaching the Chapman Head, but rounded the steamboat abreast of Mucking, as under:— H.

There was nothing worthy of notice, or calculated to create any interest, in the way up ; the Vision continued to lead, slightly gaining, and finished as under: H. M. S. I H. M. S. ! H. M.

Mr Knibbs was commandant, and Mr Webster after the race presented the prizes to the successful competitors, Vision of. course having the first, Aerolite the second. It was stated that a variety of causes had combined to prevent a fuller attendance, an£ it was regretted that these reasons have an influence over the - presence of the flag officers of the club. • ONVAT VNPVAVNTT v A CUT PTTTH ) passed the Surf, and left her a good distance behind.

The prizes offered in the yacht match were a piece of plate of the value of 20 guineas, and a second prize of the value of six guineas, sailed for by yachts attached to the club fleet, and not exceeding 15 tons. The usual allowance was made for difference of tonnage, and the following entered :— Gua.' t, cutter, 5 ton?, Mr T. H. Oldman; the Pearl, cutter, 9 tons, Mr F. Hoare ; the Shamrock, 12 tons, Capt Cater, E. N.; the Fairy, cutter, 7 ton3, Mr J. B. Spence; and the Brunette, schooner, 9 tons, Mr H. T. Watson ; the Fairy, however, did not start. The course was the same as in the more important match on the preceding day, but the Gnat did not engage in the contest beyond Paull, having fallen into a hopeless position at that point. The remaining three com- petitors rounded the Bull Light as follows: H. M. S. I H. M. S. I II. M. S. SHAMROCK .. .. 1 19 50 I BRUNETTE l 19 30 | PEARL 1 19 40 The contest between the Pearl and the schooner for the second prize was thus exceedingly close up to this point, and as the start had taken place at 11 a. m., the run down had been effected in good style. The schooner might possibly have occupied the first place had she not been rather a laggard in getting under weigh. The yachts left the Bull Light on the starboard hand, and had then to beat back up the Humber, passing between a boat moored off the east pier of the Humber Dock basin. The opera- tion of beating back proved no easy matter, as tide as well as wind had to be contended against, and as usual, under such diffi- cult circumstances, the schooner could not be handled so readily as the cutters, and was hopelessly distanced. The Pearl headed the Shamrock at one stage in the run home, but was subsequently re- passed by her opponent. The two yachts reached the goal as follows:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. SHAMROCK 7 58 25 | PEARL 8 5 27 Capt Cater therefore took the first prize, and Mr J. Hoare the se- cond. The shades of evening were gathering round when the prizes were presented on board the committee's steamer, by Mr A. Bannister, the vice- commodore, who apologised for the absence of Lord Londesborough, the commodore, on the ground that the noble lord was entertaining a select dinner party on board his fine schooner, the Albertine, the circle of convives including Capt Strange, of H. M. S. Cornwallis, Mr. C. Sykes, Dr. L. Powell ( of London), Capt Egerton, Major Bannister, Mr G. Batson ( of London), & c. The programme comprised only two yacht matches, and these we have now reported, but several other general contests took place. Thus a purse of the value of £ 20 was contended for by fishing vessels, under 20 tons, old measurement, and the entrances comprised the Bapid, 19 tons, W. Wilkin ; the Spy, 4 tons, J. Parrott; the Admiral, 6 tons, M. Naylor ; the Kate and Ann, 19 tons, S. Martin ; the Moth, 8 tons, J. Hobbs ; the Laurel, 19 tons, W. 8carlet; the Hilda, 7 tons, J. Brown ; the Friendship, 13 tons, W. Bowbottom ; the Samaritan, 17 tous, J. Croft, & c. The Kate and Ann, a Colchester vessel, came in first ; the Samaritan— also of Colchester— being second ; the Kate and Ann was consequently declared the winner. With regard to row- ing matches, it may be noted that the Polly, which was van- quished by the St George in the amateurs' match, is a steel beat. 8ome rowing contests took place between the boats of H. M. S. Cornwallis, prizes ranging in amount from £ 6 to £ 2 being dis- tributed among the gallant crews, none of whom were allowed to " go empty away." The prize won by the amateurs who pulled in the St George was a handsome silver flagon. The principal yacht prize was rather inappropriately described last week as a silver tea kettle ; it was a chastely wrought silver tea urn. Mr H. C. Maudslay, of the Volante, the winner of the second prize in the great yacht match, received a case of silver plate. Mr Maudslay, by the way, was inadvertently stated to have " assisted" last week at the Harwich regatta, but high as the sailing powers of the Volante may be, she can hardly claim the merit of being at two points at once. The fact is, Mr Maudslay had cleared out of Harwich earlier in the week, but the committee of the Harwich festivities concluded that he was still in harbour. Contem- poraneously with the regatta of the Eoyal Yorkshire Yacht Club, but wholly unconnected with it, another regatta was organised for Humber keels, by the Hull Keel Regatta Club. The steamer, Her Majesty, was engaged by the promoters of this second series of festivities, and a numerous party assembled on board. In the first match for keels prizes were offered as follows:— A silver cup and £ 10 added, a second prize of £ 10, a third prize of £- 5, a fourth prize of £ 3, and a fifth prize of 10s ( the entrance fee returned). No fewer than 13 keels started in the competition for these prizes, the course being down the Humber, ship's track, round No 8 buoy, passing on the larboard side and back to the winning boat off the east pier. Iron keels were not admitted. This course was gone over in about five hours and a half; the Hope, B. B. Mason, of Hull, won easily, the next four being the Kiero, T. Beck, of Hull; the John and Ellen, W. Dyson, jun, of Hull; the Good Intent, A. Bannister, of Hull; and the West Biding, Pope and Pearson, of Normanton. The prizes were awarded accordingly. In a four- oared jolly- boat race, three competitors started, the course being round the Cornwallis and back to the starting boat. Four prizes of £ 2 10s, £ 1 10s, £ 1, and 5s were offered, but only three boats started. The first prize was taken by the Ganger Eolf, Capt Gloersen; the second by the Rob Eoy, Capt Grey; and the third by the Argo, Capt Dossor. In a second keel match, in which similar prizes were offered to those given in the first con- test, ten started; the weather, however, being rougher, the match proved an extremely tedious and protracted one. The first prize, a silver cup and £ 10 added, was won by the Humber Witch, H. Hodge; the second of £ 10, by the John and Ellen, W. Dyson, jun, Hull; the third of £ 5, by the John Hurst, W. Thompson, Hull; the fourth of £ 3, by the Emily, G. Hunt, Hull; and the fifth ( entrance fee returned), by the B. P. Beaumont, W. Thomp- son, Hull. In a second four- oared jolly- boat match, the first prize of £ 2 10s was again won by the Ganger Rolf ; the second of £ 1 10s, by the Helen M'Gregor; the third of £ 1, by the Eob Roy; and the fourth of 5s, by the Argo. The keel regatta deserves every encouragement, for it is always desirable, where it is pos sible to do it, to combine business with pleasure, and the useful craft so widely known as Humber keels have borne no slight part in building up the commercial greatness of Kingston- upon- Hull close upon her. After they proceeded out the Surf carried away her gafftopsail halyards before rounding the islands, but they were speedily replaced, and she proceeded onward. The follow- ing is the order in which they arrived:— H. M. S. | H. M. S. I H. M. S. VINDEX 3 29 35 SURF 3 38 30 TIIOUGHT 3 40 31 PLIRYNE 3 34 23 | I SECOND DAY.— The weather was again fine, and the regatta was even better attended than on the previous day. Shortly after eleven o'clock the first race started. It was for the Colthurst Cup, open to all yachts of 20 tons and upwards, belonging to members of royal yacht clubs, time race half- rate Ackers's scale, and below that half- minute per ton. The same four yachts started, and the course was the same as on the Wednesday. They were a good while before getting out, in consequence of the wind being calm. The Thought immediately led, and maintained her posi- tion during the greater part of the way. She was enabled to make greater way than the Phryne in consequence of requiring less wind. The order in which they rounded the flagboat outside was: H. M. s. | n. st. s. THOUGHT 3 11 45 | VINDEX 3 12 45 After finishing their course they came in as follows:— H. M. s. 1 H. M. s. THOUGHT 5 28 53 | VINDEX 5 35 45 The Phryne came in after having lost her bobstay, and one of her crew fell overboard, but was, however, picked up and saved. The next race was between yachts under 15 tons, for a prize of £ 5. The entries for it were:— Fawn, 14 tons, Holmes ; Fairy, 12 tons, Howe; Nautilus, 9 tons; Truant, 9 tons, Thullier. This was a pretty race, and was watched with much interest. The order in which they arrived was:— II. M. S. I II. M. s. I H. M. s.

The secoad match of the season came off on Friday, July 24, from Charlton to Eosherville and back. The following were tha entries:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. NOVICE 7 Gardner RESOLUTION .. 14 Antill 3. EUGENIE 6 Price Of these the Resolution and Eugenie did not come to their sta tions. The start was effected at ten minutes past eleven, the novice taking the lead at once, and it was evident that the match was virtually decided.

The prizes, if a sufficient number enter to give the assurance of sport, will be very liberal, large offers having been handsomely made of funds to promote the undertaking. We recommend all those who take an interest in such matters to attend the meeting, in order to offer any suggestions calculated to further the desired end. THE ISLE OF WIGHT REGATTAS. Nescfc week will see the Solent in her glory. It will be the Squad ron's regatta week at Cowes, which will be followed by that of the Royal Victoria, at Hyde; then will come the over sea matches to Cherbourg and the Bddystone; and after that the yachts will migrate down channel for the regattas at the western ports of Torquay, Plymouth, Weymouth, and the minor places on the sea board. As regards the Squadron's regatta, H. R. H. the Prince of Wales has followed in the footsteps of his lamented father by be- coming a patron of the Squadron, and has presented his first prize, to be called the Prince of Wales's Cup. Consequently two royal cups are again presented for competition by yachts belonging to the Squadron. In addition to these, the members of the Squadron present their prize of 100 guineas, to be sailed for by 30 ton Cutters and upwards belonging to any royal yacht club which bears the Admiralty warrant. This match " will also be very at- tractive, and will have the effect of bringing some of the racing clippers to the Solent, should they be enabled to reach the island from the Irish waters in time to afford them the chance of entry. The following is the programme of the week:— On Tuesday, the annual dinner of the members and their friends will take place at the castle. On Wednesday, H. M.' s Cup will be sailed for by all schooners and yawls belonging to the Squadron. In the evening the annual display of fireworks will take place on the parade. On Thursday, the Squadron's Prize of 100guineas will come off, and the annual ball at the castle in the evening. On Friday the Prince of Wales's Cup will be sailed for by cutters of the Squadron. One course has been selected for the whole of the matches, viz, from the station off Cowes Castle to the eastward round the East Sturbridge buoy ( off Eyde), thence returning to the westward, passing be- tween the Calshot Light Vessel and the coast; thence proceeding to the West Channel passing to the northward of the Brambles, round a mark boat stationed off Egypt, returning to the goal, passing between the station vessel and Cowes Castle ; twice round. This course, it will be perceived, will form a triangle, and will have the effect of keeping the whole of the yachts in view from Cowes. The whole of the races will be timed for difference of tonnage according to Ackers's scale, and with the usual understanding of " three to start or no race." The yachts are to be measured according to the rule of the Royal Thames Yacht Club. But the sailing regulations of the Squadron will be strictly enforced. The town regatta at Cowes has been fixed to take place on Thursday, Aug 6. THE LATE IPSWICH REGATTA- MR EDITOR: I have just seen in your last week's report of the Ipwich Eegatta the following paragraph:—" The Bessie is a favourite local yacht, but on Thursday she disappointed expec- tations, and it was whispered that her arrangements as to ballast were not quite what they should be." Now I do not know w lie- ther bythi^ you mean ballast was shifted during the match or not, but several of my friends have read it in this light, and I must therefore request you to state that none was shifted, or has been shifted, on boar d her during any match she has sailed in. By so doing you will miMh oblige— Yours, & c, The Oil Mills, IPSWICH, July 30. JOHK HBNRY HEDGE. DEYONPORT AND ST0NEH0USE REGATTA. This regatta came off on Wednesday, July 29, over the usual course. The day was beautifully fine, and the attendance of spectators immense— in fact we hare not seen such a large concourse of people to witness any previous regatta meeting in Devonport. The; day was observed as a general holiday in that town, and partially s. o in Stonehouse. The amount of prizes offered for competition was less than that of the previous year in consequence of a considerable decrease in the funds, mainly attri- butable to an order which prohibited the sale of intoxicating liquors on Mount Wise, from which place the best view could be obtained. It is to be hoped, however, that the lovers of aquatic sports will come forward more nobly next year, and thus enable the committee to offer better prizes. Mr J. D. Gould offi ciated as starter, and Mr W. Wood acted as secretary. The com- mittee took up their quarters on board the steam- tug Zephyr, which was kindly placed at their disposal by the authorities. She was moored a short distance off Mount Wise. The regulations provided that on the firing of the second gun the boats should pro- ceed to the mark boats off the West Mud, Cremyll, Devil's Point, and Stonehouse Pool, leaving them all on the port hand, and returning to the starting vessel. Any devia- tion from this course would subject the parties to the loss of the prize. Each boat might carry a spare oar. Any boat fouling, and a hand being put over the gunwale to clear, to forfeit the prize, The first start took place precisely at one o'clock, the race being for a silver cup, value £ 6, presented by W. Ferrand, M. P. second prize £ 1, third 15s, fourth 10s; half a minute per foot to be allowed. The positions of the yachts before starting were:— 1. DREAM, R. Oram. I 6. GEM, Capt Seymour. 2. ACTIVE, J. Lawrence. 7. WHISPER, C. Cox. 3. ACORN, W. II. Vaughan. | 8. FROLIC, C. Couch. 4. ROVER, BicXley. I 9. FANNY, J. Carter. 5. ARIEL, J. Boolds. ] 10. AMELIA, W. Horrell. All got off well together, but Amelia was the first to pull ahead, her nearest competitor being the Dream. The positions were changed several times, and on rounding the mark boat at Barn Pool, Dream was first, followed closely by Amelia, Whisper, and Ariel. The Dream fouled the mark boat, and was obliged to make a short tack to get round; Amelia had by this time gone ahead in good style, followed closely by Whisper, and several times these two boats were bow and bow. They rounded the mark boat together, and Amelia soon after left Whisper behind Some misunderstanding here arose respecting the course the boats were supposed to take. The original order was that they should pass inside the committee boat. The Amelia and Whisper both went some distance out of their way, but ultimately they righted and went over the proper course. The Dream, during this time, had not been idle, and took advantage of the mistake of her com- petitors, being the first to pass the starting vessel. The only boats timed were the first three, viz :— n. M. s. I H. M. s. | II. M. s. DREAM 1 40 0 1 WHISPER 1 40 3 | AMELIA 1 40 4 The ne.\ t boats in order were Fanny fourth, Ariel fifth, Acorn sixth. In. the second round the following was the result:— H. M S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. WHISPER 2 34 55 AMELIA 2 38 45 ACORN 2 39 47 DREAM 2 35 15 | FANNY 2 39 0 | ARIEL 2 40 47 The first and second boats were to allow time for difference of tonnage, and the Amelia was declared the winner of the cup. The winning yacht was sold to Mr Drake of Exeter, and during the afternoon was taken to that place. The second prize was awarded to Fanny.

This race takes place on Saturday, Aug 1, from Putney to the lower end of Chiswick Eyott, when the Old Brilliants will show up in much stronger force than usual, thanks to the new blood lately imported into the club. The Eifleman has been chartered by the club to accompany the race, and leaves London Bridge at 2: 15, calling at the principal piers; the race starts at 3: 30 from the Aqueduct. " UNDINE ROWING CLUB. JUNIOR SCULLS.— The junior members of this club ( formerly the London Amateur) contended on Saturday, July 25, in three heats, for a very pretty silver cup ; the umpire was Mr J. H. Lee, the deputy captain; the distance in all the heats being from Putney to Hammersmith: — FIRST HEAT. II. Needham ( Centre station) t A. C. Marshall ( Middlesex station) f J. T. Allman ( Surrey station) dr Needham had the best of the start, but Marshall came up at the Star, when he caught a crab, and fell behind two lengths. At Simmons's Mr Marshall was consing up a second time, but again caught a crab, and Needham went two lengths in front. This lead he maintained to near the Point, where Marshall began gradually to catch him, and alt hough Needham spurted away again and again, his opponent stuck to him so well that they came level at the Soap Works, and then there was a desperate race between them, ending in a dead heat. Allman was drawn through illness. SECOND HEAT. C. Arkell ( Centre station) 1 II. Jump ( Surrey station) 0 A. H. Taylor ( Middlesex station) dr Arkell had the best of the lead, and, never being challenged, won easily. FINAL HEAT. Marshall ( Surrey station) 1 Needtiam ( Middlesex station) 0 Arkell ( Centre station) 0 This heat was rowed in total darkness, and necessarily there were some fouls, which left the result in doubt. Marshall had the best of the lead, but Arkill passing him went very fast to the front, and was leading by a quarter of his length at Simmons's, increasing this to nearly a length. Needham now came second, and a desperate race followed between the leaders ( Marshall slightly astern), in the course of which they came into collision. Having gone clear they rowed on, still ahead of Marshall, and continued to have a severe race till in the middle of the shoot be- yond Craven, when Arkill rowed on to his opponent, and during this Marshall went by, obtained a lead of a couple of lengths, and maintained that advantage to the finish. After the second foul Needham got away from Arkill, and rowed very gamely after Marshall, but but could not catch him, eventually" heading Arkill for second place by a length. The captain afterwards presented the prize to the fortuaate winner. GREAT SKIFF RACE ON THE TYNE. CHAMBERS AND COOPER.— Of all the aquatic contests that have taken place on the Tyne for years past, the one which came off on Tuesday, July 28, between the celebrated, scullers Robert Chambers, champion of the Thames, and Robert. Cooper, may be justly said to have excited the greatest interest. The " doings" ef Chambers have been so recently given in this journal that it. is unnecessary to relate them upon this occasion. Cooper is about 28 years of age, weighs lOst 31b, and stands 5ft 6in high. His father was for many years the fex- ryman at the Eedheugh, and when quite a little boy Cooper could be seen handling the sculls. His first public essay, we believe, was at the Tyne Eegatta, held at the High Level Bridge, when he contended for a prize for youths under 19 years of age, when Thomas Clasper, half- brother to the veteran " Harry" Clasper, proved the winner. His second public appearance in any race of note was on the 21st of July, 1860, when he rowed J. Oliver, of Elswick, for £ 20 a side, from the High Level Bridge to Scotswood Bridge, and defeated him easily. On the 5th of May he rowed against W. Waterson, for £ 50, which resulted in an easy victory for Cooper. In August he appeared with a crew at the Sunderland Regatta, but was de- feated by the Claspers' crew, and he wound up the year by beating G. Strong in the first heat for the Champion Scullers Prize, at the Newcastle and Gateshead Eegatta, on Sept 21 and 22, but was defeated in the final heat by R. Chambers. In 1861 he appeared at the Durham Regatta, and won the Cutlibert Plate, beating G. Strong, G. Wakefield, and others ; and with G. Wakefield, M. Scott, and T. Matfin, beat the Taylor and Durham crews. On the 14th Oct, he rowed G. Strong for £ 100, from the Old Mansion House to Scotswood Bridge; Strong received two lengths' start, and was defeated by about five lengths. On Nov 16, Cooper rowed R. Clasper for £ 100, course from the Mansion House to Scotswood Bridge; Clasper received four lengths'start; but Cooper ca tching him a foul took place, which was given against Cooper In 1862, he came out at the Durham Regatta, and won the Cuthbert Plate, in a skiff, beating T. Wilson and others; and, with A. Thompson, won the pair- oared race, beating several first- class rowers; but with T. Wilson, T. Matfin, and A. Thompson, was defeated for the Patron's Plate by the Clasper Champion Crew. His next race was at the Thames Regatta, where he won the open scullers prize, beating in the final heat G. Drewitt, Eagers, and Everson. At the Manchester and Salford Eegatta, with A. Thompson, won the Ladies Plate; and with A. Thompson, T. Matfin, and M. Taylor won the Pomona Champion Prize. At the Bedford Regatta, he won the skiff race; and, with the same crew, won the four- oared prize, beating a London crew and others. In the following week, Aug 28, at the Chester Regatta, with the same crew, won the £ 50, beating the Manchester crews. He was, how- ever, defeated in the skiff race by M. Taylor. At the Dartmouth Regatta, the same week, with the same crew, won the four- oared prize, beating the Cardiff and other crews. Cooper's next appear- ance was at the Glasgow Royal Regatta, for the Breadalbane Cup, where he was vanquished; but with the above crew he won the Challenge Cup, beating the Glasgow and; Dumbarton crews. On Sept 12, at the Clydesdale Amateur Regatta, with the same crew, wen the Dagleish Cup, beating other two crews buthis greatest achievement, prior to the present contest, was completed on Thursday, the 19th of June, when he defeated George Everson of Greenwich, and won £ 200. The stake in the present match was £ 100 a side, and the distance to be rowed one mile, being from the High Level Bridge to Waterson's Gates. Immense numbers of persons were present. to witness the event, the whole of the quay, the banks of the river, the High Level, the Tyne Bridge, and every available spot commanding a view of the course being densely crowded with spectators, while a dozen steam- boats, packed almost to the water's edge, and innumerable small craft crowded the water. The weather was fine, a slight breeze from the west gently ruffling the surface of the river. The steamer Rosamond was chartered for the accommodation of the officials and the friends of both men, the proceeds of the boat going to the pocket of the losing man. The race was appointed to take place at 1: 23, and shortly before that time Cooper appeared in his skiff. He looked to be in the highest condition, great pains having apparently been taken in his training ; his fine stroke and action was much admired, and increased the hopes of his backers. Chambers followed shortly afterwards, but he did not seem to be in such preparation as was required for a match of this description, althouh he was made a favourite a 6 to 4. A few minutes after the appointed time both men came to the starting point, Cooper taking up a position at the second arch on the n orth end of the High Level Bridge, and Chambers at the next and south end. In a few minutes they were fairly away, both men plying their sculls with their greatest efforts. Chambers took a slight lead at first, but Cooper soon made up to him, and at the Mansion House Quay was leading by several feet. At she Skin- nerburn he was still maintaining his lead, and seemed to be im- proving. At the Shot Tower he was a boat's length in advance Here, however, Chambers put on a spurt, and succeeded in re- ducing the distance between them, but on arriving at the end of the New Quay Chambers got into the ripple of the water, and this, together with the falling tide and the mid- channel of the river, retarded him in his progress, and enabled his antagonist to maintain the position he had acquired, and to win by about a boat's length. Time 6min 38jsec. Mr YVallaee officiated as refe- ree, and Mr T. Pringle as judge. Harry Clasper was umpire for Chambers, and Mr J ewett of Dunstan for Cooper. Chambers was trained partly at Durham by J. H. Clasper, and partly on the Tyne by Harry. Cooper took his exercises under Percy, the pe- destrian. He pulled in a skiff built by Jewett, named the Lady Armstrong; and Chambers in one built by H. Clasper. Great disappointment was felt by the public at the defeat of the champion, who was considered to be almost invincible. CORSAIR AND EXCELSIOR F0UR- 0ARED RACE. Following up the example set by the Ariels and Corsairs for three years past, and which the rowing public have been slow to appreciate, the Excelsior Boat Club— which has been established some years past at Greenwich, and which has come prominently into notice lately by its members frequently rowing at Putney— challenged their friends, the Corsairs, to a trial of strength and skill, and two matches liave Deen fixed between them, the first coming off on Saturday, Aug 8, in outriggers, from Putney to Chiswick Eyot, starting at 7: 30, and the return being rowed on Saturday, Aug 22, at Greenwich, in gigs. Betting is in favour of the Excelsiors for the race below bridge, but public opinion is much divided as to the result of the first event, the Excelsiors, although a much more powerful set of inen than their opponents, being scarcely used to the outrigged boat yet, and naturally not sitting their craft well, while the Corsairs are rowing very pret- tily and well. The rival crews are as under:— THE CORSAIR CREW. I THE EXCELSIOR CREW. st lb st lb 1. J. Ellinger 10 4 | 1. O. Britten 10 7 2. H. Castell 9 6 | 2. H. Anderson 11 10 3. G. Leiqhton 10 13 i 3. A.

The Junior Scullers Race of this club was rowed on Thursday and Friday, July 2- 3 and 24, the following being the result:— FIRST HEAT, Putney to Hammersmith. SURREY. I CENTRE. I MIDDLESEX. H. C. Hill I G. Rae | E. W. Scott Scott did not start. The other two got off well together, a close race ensuing until near the London Rowing Club boathouse, where Rae led by half a length; immediately after which Hill fouled a barge and Rae won as he liked. SECOND HEAT, Bull's Head. Barnes, to Hammersmith Bridge. MIDDLESEX. I CENTRE. I SURREY. C. T. Wigley | B. R. Stafford | J. Fryers Some time was lost in getting the men to their stations, after which they made a very level start, but Stafford soon obtained a lead, Fryers and Wigley rowing a scull and scull race for fully half a mile. The former then drew slightly in advance of Wigley, and they maintained the same positions to the finish, Stafford increasing his lead, and winning easily. FINAL HEAT, Putney to Hammersmith. SURREY. I MIDDLESEX. B. R. Stafford | G. Rae Rae got awaj- with a lead, but Stafford soon overtook him, and they rowed level for about 50 yards, when Rae again obtained the lead, rowing in good style and pace, but, unfortunately, when opposite Finch's, his stretcher broke, by which means he, of course, lost all chance, Stafford winning as he liked. SWIFT. LANCE CUTTERS, used in Her Majesty's Service, free to all; first prize £ 3, second £ 115s, third £ 1 10s, fourth £ 1, fifth 15s. FROLIC II BLACK BESS 3 I CAMBRIDGE 4 VOLUNTEER 2 | | A SKIFF RACE and other minor races brought the proceedings to a close. XINSALE REGATTA This regatta took place on Wednesday and Thursday, July 29 and 30, and the fine weather rendered it unusually charming and attractive. The proceedings commenced at half- past eleven o'clock, when a yacht race took place. It was for a Challenge Cup, value £ 50, given by the late member for Kinsale, Sir John Arnott, to which the committee added £ 10. It was open to all yachts exceeding 25 tons belonging to members of royal yacht clubs ; time, half a minute per ton ; entrance 30s. The entries for it were:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWNER. VINDEX 45.... A. Duncan THOUGHT .... 27.... J. Jones SURF 54.... T. Couper I PHRYNE 55.... T. Seddon They had but very little wind from S. S. W. when they started. Their course was from their moorings opposite Denis's quay, round a flagboat on the Spit, round the Bullman's buoy, leaving it on the port hand, round Big Sovereign Islands, leaving them on the starboard hand, round a flagboat placed three miles S. 8. E. of the Old Head, passing her on the starboard hand, returning round Big Sovereign Islands, leaving them on the port hand, and Bull- man's buoy on the port hand, thence to the flagboat on the Spit, leaving it on the port hand, and passing between the flag vessel and a flag on the west end of Lander's- terrace, at Scilly— a distance of 28 miles. The Thought immediately led the others by a short distance. The Vindex had second place, the Phryne third, and the Surf last, there being but little space between them. They proceeded very slowly, in consequence of the calmness that pre- vailed. Upon their rounding the Spit buoy they were so close together that there appeared a likelihood of the Surf fouling the Vindex. The wind by this time changing from S. S. W. to S. W. by 8., the Surf made a long stretch westward across the har- bour, by which she seemed likely to lead the others at the next tack, but they having the advantage of the current, she did not succeed, and they all passed her before she again got into the track, in which they steadily, but more slowly, advanced. The Phryne shot ahead. The Thought followed her at a good dis- tance, closely pursued by the Vindex. The Thought again took the lead, and the Surf third place, but the Phryne after some time WEST LONDON ROWING CLUB. The committee have made the following additional fixtures for the remainder of the year, viz:— Eight- oared Outrigged Bace, Aug 21; entries close Aug 8. Putney to Chiswick. Pair- oared Outrigged Race, in heats, Sept 4 and 5; entries close Aug 21. Putney to Hammersmith. Junior Sculls, Sept 19; entries close Sept 5. Putney to Ham- mersmith. Senior Sculls, Oct 3 ; entries close Sept 19. Putney to Ham- mersmith. Eight- oared Outrigged Race ( final race of the season), Oct 17; entries close Oct 3. Putney to Hammersmith. IR addition to the first prize for the Junior and Senior Sculling Races, a second prize will be given for the Junior Sculls by a member, provided there are a sufficient number of entries ; and for the Senior Sculls a second prize will be given by the club. HAMPTON COURT AND EAST MOULSEY REGATTA- This annual regatta for money prizes came off on Thursday, July 30, and was, as usual, well managed by A. Kilfoyle and Thomas Tagg. There were altogether eight races, besides a pig hunt, and C. Whatford of Moulsey, a youngster about 18, again walked across the river, which is pretty wide at the bridge, on a rope If inch in circumference, and certainly did as the pro- gramme indicated, ascend and descend backwards and forwards with all the ease of a professional. The racing was witnessed by a large number of spectators, and extended from Hampton Court Bridge to a boat moored off Boyle Farm, Thames Ditton ( the re- sidence of Lord St Leonards) returning to the place of starting. PAIR OARED RACE.— First boat £ 10, second £ 5, third £ 2 16s.— First heat: A. Kilfoyle and V. Stone 1, J. Tagg and W. Rogersen 0. Kilfoyle took the lead and held it half way, closely pressed by the others, who at length drew level, but had to give in at the and of 100 yards, and Kilfoyle and partner won by three lengths. — Second heat: 8. Tagg and H. Tagg 1, R. Whatford and J. Hedges 0. The Taggs had the lead all the way, and won by four lengths.— Third heat: J. Tagg and W. Griffin 1, T. Tagg and T. Whatford 0. The winners took the lead, and kept it for half a mile, when T. Tagg passed them, and going round first maintained the lead till close to home, the race being very severe all the way. At length John Tagg and partner spurted up again, and, going in front, won by half their boat.— Final heat: J. Tagg and W. Griffin 1, S, Tagg and H. Tagg 2. Kilfoyle and Stone did not go. This was a capital race all the way, John Tagg de- feating his younger brothers by about a length clear. PUNTING MATCH.—- Prizes as in the pair- oared race. The same men contended precisely as in the pair- oared race each heat. All the races were elose; th at between J. Tagg and Griffin v T. Tagg and T. Whatford being s o good that they never left one another, and J. Tagg ultimately t> nly won by a yard. The second heat was won by the two boys Tagg easily. The third by Kilfoyle and Stone, after a hard race; aiid the final was won by J. Tagg and partner by half a length. BOAT- RACE AT CAMBRIDGE. We noticed a short time ago a new club at Cambridge, called the Cambridge Town Rowing C^ lub, Since that time this club has worked so energetically that it c. m now turn out a first- class eight- oared boat and crew, and did so v> Tit'i some effect in a race with a crew taken from the Endeavour Boat Club, an old- established club at Cambridge, on Friday, Ji Tly 24. The race was over the usual course on the Cam. It was a time race, the town winning the toss, but their boat went behind, arid was placed 100 yards behind the Endeavour. The betting at starting was in favour of the town. Both boats made a good Litarfc, but the town came along at such a sharp pace that before a third of the course had been rowed over, the race wag virtually decided in their favour, the coxswain calling on his men to slacke/', for there was danger of fouling the other boat. From this tin. 1e the town boat had merely to stick close to the front boat, and they had it all their own way for the rest of the distance. TOWN ROWING CLUB. 1. Cropley 2. II. Emmerson 3. E.

Waites Waters ( cox) MATCH FOR SAILING BARGES. The improvement which has recently taken place in the build and rig of sailing barges has suggested to some aquatic men the ad- vantage of giving prizes for a match between sailing barges, as an incentive for further advancement in the science of navi- gation. Mr Henry Dodd, the well known contractor, aided by some other opulent and influential men, has taken the matter in hand, and proprietors and masters of sailing barge3 on the river Thames are to meet on Tuesday evening next the committee of the Prince of Wales Yacht Club ( under wlioat) patronage the PROPOSED BENEFIT TO GREEN ( THE AUSTRALIAN SCULLER)- We are very much pleased to hear that the British public have at last awoke to a sense of the honour and praise due to a man who has travelled 16,000 miles, in order to throw down the gauntlet to our Champion Sculler. By some Green's act was deemed one of exceedingly great temerity, but the race for the Championship of the Thames, on the 16th of last June, showed that the plucky Australian was not far wrong in estimating his powers, and there are many who contend to this day that but for Green's unfortunate illness he would have won the race. Be that as it may, his conduct throughout his stay in this country has gained him a host of friends among the English, and it is greatly to be desired that the aquatic public will one and all come forward and give Green a bumper at Astley's Theatre, which his friends propose taking for him. The day has not yet been fixed, but it will no doubt be some early date, and will be duly notified in our columns, HULL ROWING REGATTA.— This regatta, commenced a year or two since on the Humber, celebrated a successful anniversary on Monday, July 27. The committee accompanied the boats during the progress of the matches in the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company's steamer Sheffield, and the ar- rangements were generally carried out in an efficient manner. The first item on the programme was the Tradesmen's Plate. This was offered as a pair- oared match, open to all comers, the first prize being£ 3, and the second £ 1 10s. The course was from Messrs Samuelson's jetty, round a boat moored off St James- street, and back. The competitors were the Prince of Wales and the Alarm. The match was maintained fairly for the first 100 yard3, but the Prince of Wales then gradually obtained an over- whelming lead. In a six- oared galley race, for amateurs, the prize, a set of silver cups of the value of 21 guineas, was presented by the Mayor of Hull, Mr W. H. Moss. The course was from Samuelson's jetty to the railway bridge, and back, and the follow- ing competed :—* The St George ( St George's Club), Queen ( Lin- coln), Alexandra ( Kingston Club), and Humber ( Gainsborough). The first three boats got off well together, but not so the Hum- ber, which was scarcely prepared, and was left a few yards astern. The contest was ultimately between the Alexandra and St George, the former leading; abreast of Earle's cement works the Alex- andra was three lengths ahead of St George and six of the Queen, and she continued to maintain the lead, and even increased it, winning by about 30sec. The four boats were manned as fol- lows :— Alexandra: H. J. Todd, M. Stonehouse, W. A. Sissons, J. Harrison, W. Hellawell, H. Toogood, W. J. Robinson ( cox); St George: B. Gill, G. Jackson, T. Dossor, J. T. Abbey, R. E. Garrett, C. J. Todd, W. Reynolds ( cox) ; Queen : Garnham, Briggs, Budgard, Lowe, Dawber, J. Iiudgard, Hilley ( cox) ; Humber: Lumsden, J. A. Jackson, J. Camble, Beilby, J. H. Peart, J. Peart, A. B. Phillips ( cox). The next match was a sculling race, between keel boats, for the Humber Stakes, which consisted of prizes ranging from £ 1 to 5s. The course was from St James- street end to Samuelson's jetty, and the match was won by the Artful Dodger ( J. Wales), which headed the Colleen Bawn ( J. Robinson) by about eight lengths, the Lord Dun- dreary ( H. Brocklebank) being third. Next came the Mem- bers' Plate, for four- oared jolly boats not exceeding 18ft over all, the prize being divided into £ 5 and £ 2 10s for the first and second. The competitors were the Shamrock, Sil- ver Wave, Frolic, and The Cure. The course was from Samuelson's jetty to Earle's cement works and back. The Silver Wave led for a short distance, but was passed by the Frolic, which at Limekiln Creek was six lengths ahead. The Frolic continued to gain, and won by about a minute ; Shamrock a pretty good third. Next followed a pair- oared match, between amateurs, for the Ladies' Plate, a set of cups. The course was from Samuel- son's jetty to St James's- street end and back, and there were three competitors, the Nil Desperandum, the Psyche, and the Alarm. The Alarm did not lead at first, having to pull in to get clear of the slack; but she went in front on rounding the distance, went further and further ahead, and won by 4osec. The three boats were manned thus :— Alarm : W. Hellawell, H. Toogood, W. J. Robinson ( cox) ; Nil Desperandum : C. J. Todd, J. Rudgard, F. Galloway ( cox) ; Psyche: W. M. Jackson, J. A. Jackson, W. Holmes ( cox). The next feature in the programme was the Town Plate, a six- oared galley match, open to all comers. The prize was divided into £ 7 and £- 3 10s, for the first and second, and the course was from Samuelson's jetty to the railway bridge and back. The competitors were the Polly, Queen, Alexandra, and Humber, and a closely sustained and animated race ensued between the first three. The Polly eventually won by 8sec. The Polly is a steel boat, and was pulled by a Lincoln crew who had never been on the Humber before. The last event was the Stewards' Plate, offered in a sculling match for amateurs with single scull, each boat not exceeding 15ft in length over all. The prize was a cup, and the course was from St James's- street end to Samuelson's jetty. There were three entries, the Alabama, R. Chambers ; the Shamrock, W. Reynolds ; and the Pearl, W. J. Robinson. The Pearl did not start, and the Shamrock got his oar unshipped twice, so that he lost all chance. The prizes for amateurs were presented to the winning crews on the roof of the saloon of the steamer, by the mayor, who also presided in the evening at a supper, at the Victoria Hotel, attended by the committee and several gentlemen. The mayor was supported on the occasion by Lieut Brettand Lieut Cairncross, of H. M. S. Cornwallis. BLAIRMORE AND STRONE EEGATTA.— This regatta, one of the most popular on the Clyde, took place on Saturday, July 25. Mr F. Powell officiated as Commodore on board his schooner yacht, Eeverie, 41 tons. The following is the result of the racing :— Sailing Matches : Lugsail Eace ; first prize £ 3, second £ 2, third £ 1: Gipsy, Barr, Gourock, 1; Fly, Kemsley, 2 ; Sylph, Gem- mill, 3; Wolf, Smith, 0; Never Heed, Hunter, 0 ; Scotchman, Stewart, 0 ; Jessie and Ann, Money, 0 ; Rambler, Barbour, 0. For the most part of this race there was little or no wind, and the boats were carried up Lochlong by the flood tide. The breeze that sprung up about five p. m. enabled the winner, followed by four others, to reach the Commodore before eight o'clock. The Gipsy had a good lead, but the rest were very close together.— Race for Gentlemen's Pleasure Boats, not over 30ft from stem to sternpost; prize, £ 4: Annie, C. Kennedy, 1; Midge, D.

The Undine, Shannon, Greenock, was also entered for this race, but shortly after the start, and while she was a boat's length in ad- vance of Hebe the stroke roilock gave way, and she was obliged to abandon the contest. The Hebe gradually drew ahead and came in an easy winner; Alexandra gave up.— Jolly- boats, with two oars, 16ft over all, and 4ft beam ; First prize £ 2, second £ 1: Scotch Worthy, Davie, Cartsdyke, 1; Dove, Paterson, Glas- gow, 2; Old Wizard, Shearer, Gourock, 3.

WELLS- NEXT- TKE- SEA REGATTA.— This event took place on Tuesday, July 28, and attracted, as usual, a very larg « attendance. The beautiful gardens of Holkham Hall, the seat of the Earl of Leicester, Lord- Lieutenant of Norfolk, were generously thrown open to the public, and a large number availed themselves of the privilege of inspecting them early in the day. The weather was intensely hot, and there was scarcely any wind in the morning; fortunately, however, a light breeze sprang up about two p. m. Thestart in the first match, which was between pleasure boats of any rig, for a piece of plate of the value of 7gs— the second boat receiv- ing 3gs— took place at 2: 50, the following contending:— The Fancy, 20ft, Mr Haycock, Wrells; the Cuthbert, 18ft, Mr Smith, Wells ; the Echo, 16ft, Mr Dewing, Burnham ; and the Volante, 14ft, Mr Ellender, Wells. The Fancy took the lead at first, but having grounded was distanced. The contest between the Echo and the Cuthbert was well sustained for some time, but the Cuth- bert having grounded the Echo acquired a decisive lead. The first round closed as follows:— Echo, 3: 20; Volante. 3: 22; Cuth bert, 3: 24. The Echo continued to lead in the second round, which she completed at 3: 50, the Volante following at 3: 55, and the Cuthbert at 3: 56. The first prize accordingly went to the Echo, and the second to the Volante. The second match was be- tween fore and aft- rigged boats, over a three mile course, the prizes offered being £ 2 and £ 1. Three started, viz:— The Gipsy, 16ft, Shreeve, Wells; the Lark, 16ft, Shreeve, Wells; and the Dart, 17ft, Jay, Wells. The first prize was won by the Gipsy, which had an advantage of lmin over the Dart. The next contest was a rowing match, between boys in four- oared boats, the first prize offered being a set of guernseys for the successful crew, while the second boat was awarded 5s. The competitors were the Ocean Wave, Powditch; the William and Anne, Green ; the Eover, Shreeve; the Sally, Smith; and the Sambo. Rush, all of Wells. The contest was a sharp one between the Sally and the Rover, but towards the close the former led easily ; prizes accord- ingly. The fourth entry on the programme was a match between four- oared boats for the " ladies' purse," the first receiving £ 2 2s, and the second £ 1 Is. The following started:— The Dart, Broughton, Goole; and the Lark, Shreeve ; the Ocean Wave, Powditch; the Dart, Jay ; the Gipsy, Shreeve ; and the Ellen, Green, all of Wells. The course was one mile and a half, and the Lark led for some distance, followed by the Ocean Wave. Ulti- mately, however, the Dart of Wells came up with the Lark, passed her, and continued to lead. The Lark accordingly had to content herself with the second prize. The fifth contest was a sculling match between boys for a new guernsey, and five boats started, viz, the Eover, Shreeve; the Despatch, Lord; the Premier, Powditch ; the Sally, Smith ; and Ocean Wave, Powditch, all of Wells. After an exciting contest the Des- patch claimed the guernsey. Next came another rowing match between four- oared boats, the first receiving £ 2, and the second £ 1. The competitors were the Dart of Goole, and the Ocean Wave, Gipsy, Lark, and Ellen, all of Wells. The boats kept well together for some time, but the lead was eventually taken by the Gipsy, which won the first prize. Another sculling race for prizes of 7s 6d and 2s 6d wound up the regatta, the winners being the Dart and Lark respectively. The aquatic amusements were followed by rural sports, and a display of fireworks in the evening. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— Under the title of the " Yacht Club of France," M Anatole Bureau has undertaken to^ publish drawings of the yachts belonging to the club members. The first plate of what promises to prove a very interesting collection has just ap- peared, and represents the Dalila, a steam yacht belonging to the Vicomte de Chateauvillard. A Cannes letter announces that the Amelia, M Turcos, is expected at that port on her return from a cruise on the Italian coasts. The Fifre, steam yacht, belonging to M Bertin, of Rouen, which has only made during the past- season excursions on the Upper and Lower Seine, put to sea in the course of last week in order to figure at the Dieppe Eegatta to- day ( Aug 2). Other aquatic fixtures may be noted as follows : — La Rochelle Regatta, Aug 1 and 2; Asni& res Regatta, Aug 2; Toulon Regatta, Aug 2; 8t Valery- sur- Somme Regatta, Aug 2; Amsterdam Regatta, Aug 6; Bougival Regatta, Aug 9; St Malo Regatta, Aug 9; Rouen Regatta, Aug 15; Royan Eegatta, Aug 16; Havre Regatta, Aug 23; Quillebceuf Eegatta, Aug 30; Bou- logne- sur- Mer Regatta, Aug 31. The clippers Parisien and Ariel left Argenteuil on Saturday and 8unday in order to assist at Dieppe Eegatta to- day ( Aug 2). They will return to Eouen for matches to take place there on the 15th, and will then join in Havre Regatta, on the 23d. The Temps, belonging to M Carpen- tier, which lias made a successful summer's work of it, is now at Marseilles, having taken part in some matches organised there on Sunday, of which some details will probably be given next week. A regatta took place at Royan on Sunday, July 26. The first yacht match did not come off, in consequence of " the number of entries being insufficient, but in three remaining categories the results were as follows :— Second category: First prize to the Zampa, M Demay; and the second to the Salammbo, M 1' ourdan. Third category: First prize to the Mystere, M Damon; and the second to the Goeland, MM Verdelet and Coulornbeau. Fourth category: First prize to the Caprice, M Mirande; and the second to the Marche OH Crfeve, M Daene. The Emperor has offered a gold medal in a match which is to come off at this point at the regatta in the middle of the month. A charming little steam yacht with two screws has been placed at the disposal of bathers at Trouville- sur- Mer. She is named the Grillon, and her hull ( which is of iron) and engines were built at Rouen last year. She is about 34ft long over all, and has an engine of 8- horse power. The internal fittings are full of taste and comfort, the saloon being especially remarkable for paintings by M Gustave Rabel. The Dieppe Regatta will be of an international character as far as possible, and the Emperor will give a gold medal in one of the yacht matches. RICHMOND WATERMEN'S REGATTA.— The 23d annual regatta atEiclimond among the watermen, formerly held on the natal day of the late Prince Consort, but now on the Duchess of Cambridge's, was rowed on Saturday, July 25, being a double sculling match, in five heats, for money prizes, in addition to which there were also some other races, all being under the able management of T. Mackinney and W. Bell.— Watermen's Eace.— First heat: W. Wheeler and W. Cox, 1; W. Kemp and F. Wheeler, 2; J. Martin and H. Eedknap 3. A good start and race for some distance, when Cox took the lead and kept it, winning by three lengths. Martin and Redknap were astern all the way.— Second heat: E. Bell and H. Wheeler, 1; W. Piatt and E. Chit- ty, 2 ; E. MesBum, jun, and G. Howard, 3. This was a good race to the Bailway Bridge, and then Bell and partner took the lead and kept it, winning by several lengths. Chitty and Piatt rowed ashore while very near the leaders, and became third, but regained second place.— Third heat: C. Brown and A. Chitty, 1; E. Eed- knap and G. Messum, 2 ; H. Kidner and M. Watkins, 3. They rowed very evenly to the first turn, where Redknap and Messum were first, and Kidner and Watkins second, but by the time they reached the Railway Bridge on their re- turn Brown and Chitty had outrowed their opponents, and won by three or four lengths.— Fourth heat, by the losing boats in the trial heats: Kidner and Watkins, 1; Eedknap and A. Messum 2. Won by two lengths— Final heat: E. Bell and H. Wheeler, 1; W. Wheeler and W. Cox, 2 ; C. Brown and A. Chittj', 3. They were pretty even for 100 yards, and then Bell and partner came away with the lead, followed by Brown and Chitty, who were passed by Wheeler and Cox at the turn ; they then separated with gaps of two or three lengths between them, and so finished.— Scullers Eace by Apprentices: E. Cripps 1, H. Mansell 2, E. Wheeler 3. They all got away together, and remained so half way, when Cripps taking the lead, kept it, and won by a length ; a good race between the others.— Appren- tices' Pair- oared Bace : J. Glover and J. Callas 1, H. Hartlebury and W. Harper 2. The winners soon had the lead, and won by two lengths. The distance in the Watermen's Eaces was Jfrom Eichmond Bridge, down round a boat moored off St Margaret's, up round a boat moored off the Duke of Buccleuch's, and finished at the bridge. The Apprentices' Races were from the Duke of Buccleuch's to St Margaret's. BANKSIDE REGATTA.— The forty- fifth annual regatta came off on Monday, July 27, among six watermen of Southwark and Bankside, for a purse containing £ 10 for the first man, and several minor prizes for the others. The course in all the heats was from Blackfriars Bridge, down round a buoy moored off the Phoenix Flour Wharf, up round Elmore and Co's road, down again round the buoy, up round the road, down round the buoy, and up to 8ummer- street Stairs; and the races were under the able manage- ment of R. Harris and J. Moore. The regatta was, as is usual, very largely attended. First heat: G. Heminings 1, H. Brent 0, N. Winslow 0. They all came away pretty evenly together, and after rowing a few strokes Hemmings went to the front, but was caught again by the others. A rattling race then ensued for half a mile, when Hemmings drew away, and increasing . his lead, eventually won as he liked; the others close together at the finish.— Second heat: D. Hemmings 1, H. Pruce 0, E. Bush 0. Hemmings got off first, and soon began to leave his opponents, passing under Southwark Bridge the first time three lengths ahead. This he increased as he proceeded, and won as he pleased; Pruce a long way ahead of Bush.— Third heat: H. Pruce 1, E. Bush 2, W. Winslow 0, H. Brent 0. Immediately after the start, of which Bush had the best, the men went into two divisions, Pruce and Bush leading, the other two a few lengths astern. The first positions were menaced more than once during the heat, but- Pruce won by two lengths from Bush, who was ahead of Winslow double that number, Brent nowhere, having fallen astern after rounding the buoy the second time.— Final heat: G. Hemmings 1, D. Hemmings 2, H. Pruce 3, E. Bush 4. The brothers Hemmings were three or four lengths behind at the start from some unac- countable reason, but in the course of 100 yards had con- siderably neared their opponents. Passing under Southwark Bridge D. Hemmings put on a spurt, and went past the others into first place, his brother fallowing suit, and taking second place. In these positions they rowed, till at Blackfriars Bridge, where Pruce passed Bush, who was third, and went close up, but again fell astern. On coming up again the first three were just the same, and Bush rowed into a barge, filling his boat, which put him out of the race. The other three maintained their positions till about fifty yards from the finish, when G. Hemmings put on a spurt, passed his brother, and won by half a length ; Pruce six lengths astern of the second man. POPLAR AND BLACKWALL LANDSMEN'S EEGATTA.— The annual regatta by landsmen of the above parishes came off on Monday, July 27, under the management of E. Groves, under whom all went off satisfactorily. Mr A. E. Bamage, of the India House, Blackwall Stairs, to whom much of the success of the regatta was due, was the treasurer, and the prizes were well worth contending for, being as under:— First man a silver fruit basket and £ 2 10s, second a silver mug and £ 2, third a cup and £ 1 10s, fourth 30s, fifth 25s, sixth 20s. The distance was from the Folly House to the East India Dock buoy, twice round, finishing at the stairs. First heat: G. Pattman " l, E. Allen 2, W. Carver 3. Pat- tman went away with the lead, followed by Carver, and there was an excellent race between them all till near home, where Allen be- came second and headed Carver half a length, Pattman winning by two lengths.— Second heat: G. Gooch 1, G. Churchman 2, G. Finnis 3. There was an excellent race between the first two throughout, Churchman leading for full half a mile ; his oppo- nent then passed him, and keeping the lead won by a length and a half ; Finnis astern all the way.— Third heat: Churchman 1, Finnis 2, Allen 3 ( fifth prize), Carver 4 ( sixth prize). Church- man had_ the lead all the way in this heat, and won by three lengths ;' Allen was second at the start, and kept his position till the first turn, where Finnis passed hiin.— Fourth heat: Pattman 1, Gooch 2, Finnis 3 ( third prize), Churchman 4 ( fourth prize). Pattman took the lead, Churchman being second, then Gooch, Finnis last. This order lasted till the first turn, where Gooch be- came second, but Churchman kept close to him until near home, when he broke a scull, and Finnis of course passed him. The above order did not vary, and Pattman won by a length, Gooch a long way in front of Finnis.— Final heat: Pattman 1, Gooch 2. Gooch took the lead and kept it once round, till in passing the stairs ho fouled a boat badly, and Pattman going in front won by three lengths. GREAT YARMOUTH HOUSE WATER FROLIC.— What was called the Great Yarmouth House Water Frolic came off on Wednesday, July 29, a cup of the value of £ 12 being competed for on Breydon Water. There was a large attendance of spectators. The moorings for the yachts were fixed nearly opposite Messrs Lacon and Co's ale stores, on the North Quay, the most distant buoy marking the course being placed nearly a mile and a half across Breydon. The following yachts took up their stations shortly after three p. m.:— The Bed Eover, 14 tons, Mr 8. Nightingale ; the Wanderer, 14 tons, Mr R. J. H. Harvey; and the Little Yankee, 14 tons, Capt Chol- mondeley. It was arranged that the yachts should sail four times round the course, and as the wind was blowing a nice steady breeze from the N. E., the sailing qualities of the compe titors were very fairly tested. The start took place at 3: 30, and the Rover led from the outset, the Little Yankee being second during the first three rounds. The Wanderer then set her large topsail, passed the Little Yankee, and aimed at the first place. The wind fell during the fourth round, and the Bed Rover, finding that the Wanderer was gaining upon her, set her balloon jib. The contest was watched with much interest towards the close, but the Red Rover succeeded in maintaining her previously acquired ad- vantage, completing the match about lmin 30sec in advance of the Wanderer. On coming in her owner and crew were heartily cheered by the spectators. A second match was announced be- tween smaller yachts, fer a piece of plate of the value of seven guineas, but this affair did not fill. Some rowing matches wound up the evening. DEPTFORD WATERMEN'S APPRENTICES' BEGATTA.— This an- nual regatta, for a coat, badge, and freedom, and money prizes amounting to £ 12, was rowed on Monday, July 27, under the management of E. Crouch and H". Hughesdon. The race was in five heats, which were all very keenly contested, and extended from ths Dreadnought to the other end of the town, twice round, finishing at the upper water gate.— First heat: W. Gibson 1, E. Mears 2, Vir. Bollen 3. This was a very good race between the first two, and ended in Gibson winning by three lengths.— Second heat: J. Browson 1, T. Wells 2, J. Ogderi 3. They were all close together for some time, and then Browson coming away kept the lead, and won by two lengths anda half; the others came in nearly together.— Third heat: Mears 1, Wells 2, Og- den 3 ( fifth pr: ze), Bollen 4 ( last prize). Mears soon got the lead, and maintaining it through a hard race, won l> y half a length. Ogden was close to Wells throughout, but Bollen was no use at all.— Fourth heat: Mears 1, Gibson 2, Browson 3 ( third prize), Wells 4 ( fourth prize). Gib son took the lead, but Mears caught and passed him, and then all came together again, and remained very close to the turn, where Mears got away and won by two lengths. Browson and Wells fell foul of each other several times in the race, and were consequently a long way behind the others.— Final heat: Gibson 1, Mears 2. Mears obtained the lead, and kept it till the turn, when Gibson, who had been rowing right on his quarters went in front, and ever after maintained his position; but Mears fought him very hard all the way, and was only beaten by about two lengths. AQUATICS ON THE TYNE.— SCULLERS BOAT EACE FOR £ 20.— On Monday, July 27, a scullers boat race for the above- mentioned sum took place on the river Tyne, the competitors being E. Cham- bers of Wallsend and E. Gibson of St Antony's. Both men have contended in matches before, and are well known to local fame. Chambers was the favourite, and was backed at 6 to 4. The steamer Bonnie Dundee was chartered to carry the officials, E. Chambers, the celebrated sculler, acting on the part of Gibson, and R. Jewitt for Chambers. The referee was Mr W. Oldham. After a slight delay at the starting point both got well away, Gib- son taking the lead until past the end of the New Quaj', where Chambers passed him, led him by two boat's lengths at Clasper'a boathouse, and finally won by four lengths. SOUTH LONDON ROWING CLUB.— The following crews contested in a double scullers race, for club prizes, on Monday, July 20-, from Chelsea Rail Bridge to Lambeth Bridge.— Red: W. Ansell and W. Bellenie.— White: C. Hobbs and W. Williams.— Blue: E. Gregory and J. Fairbrass.— Orange : J. Lee and W. Kinchen. All were well off together, but in about 300 yards Red went to the front, followed by White, Blue third, Orange fourth, and the re- mainder so to the William the Fourth, where Blue passed White. At Pimlico Pier Orange, putting on a very fine spurt, also passed White, and at Vauxhall Bridge collared Blue, and they came in at Lambeth Bridge as follows :— Red 1, by four boats'length; Orange 2, by one boat's length ; Blue 3, by two boats' length. NEW IRON SCREW STEAM YACHT BRILLIANT.— During the past week we visited the Northam Iron Works, on the banks of the Itchen, belonging to the Messrs Day and Co, where is be' constructed a magnificent steam yacht for G. H. Ackers, of^ ro" Eoyal Yacht Squadron, which is in a very forward state, and v! jl be launched in the course of next month. Her length over all is 213ft; beam, 21ft 2in; and depth moulded 16ft.

THAMES NATIONAL REGATTA.— A meeting of the committee ef the Thames Subscription Club took place on Tuesday, July 28, to take into consideratien the misconduct of some of the watermen rowing in the races at the recent Thames National Regatta, when it was resolved to demand an apology from two of the number, holding a leading position on the river; whilst a third man is to be summoned before the committee, in order if possible to ex- plain away certain impressions as to culpable fouling. For the present we withhold their names. THE AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP.— From letters we have received it appears that a notion has got abroad that we intended to convey the idea that Mr Woodgate had rather backed out of this race. Nothing could be further from our thoughts, as we were well aware that that gentleman was really very unwell, and advised by his doctor not to row. We hear that a match is talked of between him and the winner, to come off in the autumn over the Henley course, and that they will endeavour to persuade Mr Lawes to join. May it be so. ROYAL HARWICH YACHT CLUB.— The protest entered by the Queen against the Amazon receiving the vase offered by the R. H. Y. C. was not pressed, and the prize was accordingly awarded to the Amazon. One of the prizes left over from the Ipswich Regatta— that for yachts under 7 tons— will be competed for this month, the owner of another yacht belonging to Ipswich having offered to come forward to make up the number required by the conditions. Walter Collins of Oxford having heard that W. Harvey of Oxford wishes t orowhewill accommodate himfor £ 10 a side, and give £ 3 to row at Birmingham, or take £ 2 to row at Oxford; or T. Tiinms can be also accommodated if he will give the choice of sides; either or both matches can be made by leaving a deposit at Bell's Life, and sending articles to Mr Smith, Bono Pool, Bir- mingham. BEDFORD AMATEUR REGATTA.— This regatta has been fixed for Thursday, August 20, when handsome prizes will be given for amateur fours, pairs, and sculls; besides which, there will be a four- oared race, open to watermen and landsmen, for prizes amounting to £ 12 for the first boat and £ 5 for second. The prize for the amateur four will consist of five silver cups. NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK YACHT CLUB.— The Commodore of this club ( Mr B. J. H. Harvey) has liberally presented prizes for a day's yachting and rowing on Oulton Broad, near Lowestoft, on Thursday, Aug ' 7, the day following the last club regatta for the season.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH AMATEUR BOWING CLUB.— In con- • sequence of several of the members who have been in course of training for the contest with the Electric and International Club, being called away to till Government posts in Persia, the match is unavoidably postponed. GAINSBOROUGH EEGATTA.— The date of this regatta has been changed from Friday, Aug 7, to Monday, Aug 10. The sport will be confined to sculling and rowing matches, but with this limita- tion a good programme has been prepared. T. Johnson of the Old Barge House will row W. Lane of West- minster from Putney to Mortlake, for £ 25 a side or more, and will meet him at the Fleece, Commercial- road, Lambeth, on Wed- nesday, Aug 5. Bell's Life to be stakeholder. T. Callas of Eichmond will row Goey of Marylebone from Putney to Barnes, for £ 10 a side.

Bell of the same place in working wherries from Putney to Mortlake, or Kew to Rich- mond, for his own sum. An answer through Bell's Life will be attended to. CHILDS V DIXON.— For this match we have received a further sum of £ 3 a side, and a similar deposit is to be made at Mr Lewis's, Greenwich Pensioner, Poplar, Aug 3.

QUOITS- QUOIT MATCH FOR £ 200.— A match at this scientific and manly game was played on Saturday, July 25th, on the green ot Mr Peter M'Gaw, St James- street, off Paisley- road. Glasgow. The competitors were R. Walkinshaw of Carlops, the champion of Scotland, and W. Whittaker of Salford, the celebrated English player. The match was for £ 100 a side and the Championship of England and Bcotland, the distance being 21 yards, 61 shots up. In sporting ciicles, especially among quoiters, the interest taken in the match was something unusual, as it was looked upon by many as a national one. The turn- out was a great one for a quoit match, there being no less than 1,500 persons present, among whom we observed some of the most famous players in Scotland. The betting at the commencement of the game was even, but as it proceeded Walkinshaw was the favourite, 6 to 4 being freely offered on him, and in some instances 2 to- 1 was offered, but the takers were few. The game was announced to commence at two o'clock, but it was nearly three before the playing began, there having been some time lost in getting a referee to act w ho would satisfy both parties. Whittaker won the toss, and got the two first heads. He did not continue, however, for the next head Wal- kinshaw got the same number, and scored seven at a run. He gradually drew ahead till he was 30 to Whittaker's 18, when al- most any odds was offered on him. Here, however, the English- man commenced to pull up, which gave his partisans a little more confidence. Although the game was played throughout in a way that is seldom seen, the forty- seventh head was really a treat. Walkinshaw led, and played his quoit within half an inch in front of the pin. Whittaker followed with a beautiful slate fair on the top. This, however, did not daunt the gallant Scotchman, who again played, struck the front of Whittaker's quoit, and knocked it fairly off the clay head, and he lay two shots, considered by those who were near enough to judge to be untakable. It was now Whittaker's turn, who, amidst the most intense excitement, eyed the paper for a moment and threw his quoit; it landed fair on the edge of Walkinsliaw's, and knocked it from the pin— the quoit, however, being lighter than Walkinshaw's, went a little to the left, and Walkinshaw lay one shot. This playing on the part of Whittaker was received with the greatest cheering by all, and was taken up by the hundreds who were outside the enclosure. With all his play, however, Whittaker could not overtake his op- ponent, who still gradually drew ahead, and finished one of the best games ever played in Scotland— Whittaker 41, Walkinshaw 61. About £ 400 changed hands. RACKETS.— Mr John Sowden, the well- known player, has his annual benefit on Thursday, Aug 6, at the celebrated grounds, the Boileau Arms, the Surrey side of Hammersmith Bridge, <~ - which occasion many of the great players of the day will cont&.- id in four- handed matches, and about a dozen gentlemen amateurs have also promised to exhibit their skill. Among the noted players, E. Bailey and G. Boucher will appear after their great match on Monday for the Champion Cup. Boats run every half hour, and omnibuses every five minutes. Ample refreshments; will be provided. Good stabling adjoins the tavern. F. Gray of Cambridge has sent £ 5 to make a match with any man for the Championship of the Open Court, for £ 20 or £ 25 a side; or he will play the two who are about ta contend for the Belvidere Cup, at St John's Court, Cambridge, and give choice of serving the ball. To play the best of five or seven games. GREAT MATCH FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE OPEN CUP AND THE SILVER CUP.— When E. Bailey defeated G. Errwood, six weeks back, at the Belvidere Court, Pentonville, the victor was immediately challenged by G. Boucher, racket- master of theKen- nington- oval. Since then the stakes have been duly deposited, and the contest has been fixed to take place at the Belvidere on Monday, Aug 3, at five o'clock. As the friends of both parties are confident of success, some sharp as well as fine play may be expected. PIGEON FLYING.— BURLINGTON AND MANN.— This match was flown from Crewkerne ( 8. W. Bailway), 131 miles, on Mon- day, July 27, Mr Burlington's bird doing the distance in 3h 45min Usee. Mr Mann's bird was not home when the time- keepers left, and it had then been up 4i hours. Mr Mann is not satisfied with his defeat by Mr Burlington on Monday last, and will make another match to fly from Crewkerne again, 135 miles on the Great Western, with the same two birds, for £ 10 a side; Mr Burlington can be on for £ 10, 130 miles on any other line of railway he may choose, with the same two birds; and Mr Burlington can make a match for £ 25 a side, the same two, and choose 200 miles any point of the compass.

GHER AND JEM DOVE, FOR TWENTY- FIVE POUNDS A SIDE. This match took place on Tuesday, July 28. Gollagher has fought Jones, Aaron Moss ( Young Dutch 8am), and the renowned Jack Hicks, making a draw with the last- named man, after one of the gamest battles ever witnessed, on 27th of November last, in the same ring as King and Mace. Gollagher is 21, stands 5ft 7| in, and for the present match was backed from Mr Lipman's, the King of Prussia, Middlesex- street, Whitechapel. Dove has fought one or two minor battles, the principal of which was with Stewart, With whom, after meeting two days in succession, without coming to any definite conclusion, he made a draw. By those who wit- nessed his tourney with Stewart, a high opinion was entertained of his milling pretensions; indeed, by many who consider themselves good judges of the " points," he was not only reckoned „ very game man, but one destined to turn out a star in the mill- hemisphere. He was backed for the present match by .- Brown, Two Brewers, Ewer- street, Gravel- lane Dove was not confined to weight, but stated he was about 8st 101b, and he is cer- taily a big, well- made man at the " measure," possessing a fully • developed chest and loins, and from the style in which he was screwed together, appeared to have plenty of wear and tear in him ; he stands 5ft ojin, and was 25 on Tuesday, J uly 28. Gollagher, who was restricted to 8st 41b, had for his seconds Jack Hicks and Patsy Keardon, Tom Tyler and G. Crockett doing the requisite for Dove. The toss for choice of corners was won by Gollagher, who was the favourite at 30 to 20, although just while the lads were getting ready there was an even " fiver" laid by the backers of the belligerents. The men having received the finish- ing touch from their seconds, were conducted to the scratch. THE FIGHT. Bound 1. Gollaglier had the advantage of being the taller man, and was longer in the reach, but there was obviously a more deli- cate look about him than was to be observed about his adversary. If there was a striking difference in the physical appearance of the men, there was likewise that in the attitude that would not fail to rivet attention. This at once gave a striking superiority to Gollagher, aud those who could call to recollection the manner in which he " squared'' his mawleys on preceding occasions must have been struck with the immense improvement. His attitude was not only graceful and easy, but, from the style in which he covered liis man, there was an action that showed he was ready and willing for business. Dove stood well, and as the men sparred and manoeuvred, and the mawleys were set in rapid motion, and the first " plunge" from drawing in on the part of the men became at every second more and more imminent, there was a pleasing buzz of expectation round the ring of " Now it's coming," as though nothing but a merry rattling mill was ex- pected. Dove was the first to let the props go, but was not suf- ficiently well in with the left to do execution. As he shifted to draw from his man with rather precipitate action Gollagher ad- vanced with a corresponding movement, getting well in to make the range more effective, and in the exchange administered the left twice in succession from the fore arm, while Dove with the same mawley got heavily on the top of the breast. As Dove made a new change in position, drawing out admirably, Gollagher came at him, putting the left with splendid precision on the dial, and, by way of doubling the interest, got on the side of the brain canister with the right. Dove again broke, but being by no means leth for business, at once joined issue as his man spurred on for action. After some pretty exchanges, Dove got his man with the right arm round the waist, and attempted to throw him. Gol- lagher wasted no time in getting free from the hold and got down. 2. Dove did not come quite to the centre of the ring, owing to Gollagher, in his eagerness to meet him, coming too far over the boundary line. After the lads had put forth their demonstrators, Dove, in manoeuvring, got near the ropes on his own side of the ring. Gollagher was too intent on execution to let time be lost, for as his m; u took fresh ground he drew close, and in the ex- changes his blows were delivered with telling effect ; he got well • with the left on the proboscis and right cheek, likewise doing duty with the right on the side of the cranium near the left day- light. Dove was by no means idle, but still the immense supe- riority his man possessed in science became unmistakably appa- rent, for he got like a puzzled arithmetician, in a decided state of muddle, and'several times threw his arms up above his nob as though doing a deal of imaginary execution. On bringing him- self well oat and taking fresh ground Dove steadied himself ad- mirably, and exchanged heavily with the left, Gollagher, who got on the front of the dial, from the fine style in which he ad- ministered the resin, being by far the most effective. The men in a rapid manner fought right across the ring, and closed in the Irish boy's corner, where in some spirited fibbing Gollagher had all the best of it. As they were working with great rapidity in the corner, and had the mawleys all over the dial in a manner that might require the referee to take " special note," Fred Oliver left his seat, and crossed the ring for that purpose. In the fall both were down. 3. Dove, as he advanced to the mark, was bleeding from the nose, so that the first of the events was won by Jem. As the men sparred Dove again got to the ropes, doing so with that precipi- tancy of action that was an undeniable criterion that judgment • was at fault. Gollagher followed with the left. He put in a rattler on the cheek, and Dove, from the effects of this fine straight- un, went staggering back. As Gollagher came on with rapid action, Dove, with an active shake up, squared himself wonderfully, and hit out in a vicious manner with the right, but was not well to point to be effective. As he shifted, Gollagher moved to check- mate, and in hitting out with the left, for the purpose of administering a little more of the " seasoning," brought the body too much forward, but Dove did not see his advantage. The men closed in Gollagher's corner, when, after some brisk fibbing, in which the lads made use of both mawleys and got all over the surface, Gollagher got his man in the right arm bow, and in the fall both were down. 4. and last. Goliagherwas first at scratch, had no sooner been faced by his antagonist then at it he went, and delivered the left with fine precision full on the point of the jaw, this being such a . rasper, and taking so much effect on Dove's system, that he stag- gered back some two or three yards, and had a difficult matter to prevent himself from falling. Gollagher, determined to follow up the advantage, again got to his man, and with his favourite left put in another clipper on the head. The men closed at the ropes, when after a fine dose of fibbing, all in favour of the Irish lad, they went to grass. On the instant the men were picked up and conveyed to their respective corners by their attentive and busy seconds, but when the referee called " Time," and all were in ex- pectation the tourney was about to be resumed, Dove's seconds threw up the sponge in token of defeat, to the amazement and consternation of his backers, as it was what they had not for a moment anticipated. Gollagher was hailed the winner, the battle not having occupied more than 10 minutes. Bemarks on this affair are almost unnecessary. From the first Gollagher had the battle in his own hands, his opponent having but little notion of the art, and no particular gift of struggling against difficulties. Gollagher doubtless will be heard of again in more important matches, but we doubt whether Dove is ever destined to attain even mediocrity. The money is to be given to Gollagher at Mr Lipman's, King of Prussia, Middlesex- street, on Wednesday, when Gollagher wishes to meet his backers and square accounts. THE £ 2,000 MATCH. TOM KING AND HEENAN.— The backers of these heroes met at Nat Langham's, Mitre, Upper St Martin's- lane, on Thursday, July 30, and deposited £ 50 a side as another instalment for this important match. Owing to the attractions of Goodwood Races, however, the attendance was somewhat scanty, and Ould Nat's hostelrie did not, present that wonderful appearance which is so generally ob- served on great occasions. Neither of the men was present, and the meeting passed off entirely as a matter of business. The next deposit is to be made at Mr Hendeburg's, David and Harp, Fore- street, Limehouse, on Thursday, Aug 13. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. MACE AND BY ALL.— The match between these men goes on steadily. Each has again posted £ 5, and they have again to bring us £ 5 each on Thursday, Aug 6.

THE BRAVE DAN COLLINS'S " GALLANT NEW SHIP."— It is pleasing to see a worthy man prosper, whatever may have been punishment being pretty equal. At the end of the last round Smith threw Milnes, and there was a claim of foul on the part of the latter, but on what ground we are uninformed. The referee appears to have been hustled, and to have reserved his decision till Monday night. Smith declares that he ordered the men to fight on, and that Milnes was taken from the ring, while the backers of Milnes assert that the referee decided in their favour. We have no decision from that functionary himself, and conclude, therefore, that the reporter's account above given, to the effect that he has reserved his judgment, is the correct one.

On the pit being cleared Teddy was put in to destroy his number, and led off in good style up to his 10th rat, when he was seized by the under jaw and was unable to shake the varmint off for some seconds ; again the same attacked him, and held on for 30 seconds— the two attacks 50 seconds ; ( this certainly lost Teddy his chance of winning ; he, however, finished his number in 2min 48sec, Spot winning the match by 26| sec. Mr Oliver, hearing that the backers of the dog Teddy are not satisfied by his defeat, will make a fresh match on the same conditions as the last, but for not less than £ 25 a side. The match can be made at Heath's, the Hop Pole, Lawley- street, Birmingham, at any time. Mr Tupper of Long- acre will accept the challenge of G. Seward for Pincher and Venture to kill 100 rats, and will make it for from £ 25 up to £ 100. Bell's Life to be stakeholder. Mr Tupper will give £ 5 for the match to come off in London in one of the run- ning grounds— Hackney Wick, where the pit can be fixed in the open air, with no one except the officials near, to ensure fair play. Seward will then be with his old friends the " peds," another guarantee for a " clear stage,'' and if he really means business he will agree at once to so reasonable an offer. At J. Ferriman's, Graham Arms, Graham- street, Macclesfleld- street North, City- road, ratting takes place every Monday evening, with a great supply of rats ( above 300) on hand. The use of wood or wire pit can be had at any time. Also some of the best stock dogs in London, consisting of pure bulldogs, half- bred dogs, white smooth terriers, black tan terriers, rough terriers, & c. Advice given on dogs also. The printed ratting rules can be had at any time by applying at the above house. Jemmy Shaw will accept G. Seward's challenge on his own terms ; if Seward will give him a> hare of the door money, Shaw will go to Staleybridge to kill. If a deposit be sent to Bell's Life and articles to Shaw, Queen's Head, Windmill- street, Hay- market, a match can be made. To come off on Monday and Tuesday, Aug 10 and 11. Seward can find the rats himself. J. Sw- anwickof Nottingham will match his one- eyed dog Teddy against any dog in England 121b weight, 50 rats each, for £ 25 a side, but would prefer Mr Oliver's dog Spot, which defeated him on Monday, July 27, at Birmingham.

JULY 27.— Our cricketing friends at Sheffield were highly pleased on Monday, July 27, in having the opportunity of meeting the Surrey Eleven, but were somewhat disappointed in not meet- ing the Surrey captain ( Mr F. P. Miller), also Messrs F. Burbidge and E. Dowson, who are great favourites at Sheffield. The ground had been got into magnificent order. The weather, too, was all that a cricketer could desire, and the large attendance of specta- tors was a sufficient proof of the interest manifested in the game. The veteran Tom Sewell and Cuttle were the umpires, who selected two beautiful wickets. Surrey won the toss, and sent in Mortlock and Humphrey to the bowling of Hodgson and Blinn. A very masterly display of cricket ensued, with the exception that Hodg- son wasnot in such good bowling form as he usually is; thefielding and batting were perfect. The two continued scoring until 50 was hoisted on the telegraph. Here Iddison ( slows) was puton atHodg- son's end, and Mortlock was missed at point from him— a rather sharp catch. Humphrey, however, was eventually well caught in the same place. The first wicket thus fell for 50 runs, Humphrey playing a masterly innings of 31, composed of a four ( splendid drive from Slinn), three threes ( two cuts and a drive), seven twos, and singles. Stephenson followed, when Mortlock, who had been at the wickets 110 less than one hour and twenty minutes for 21 runs, comprising tw ® threes ( drive from Slinn, and a cut from Iddison), a two, and singles. The ball that took hirn was splendidly delivered, cutting across from leg to off; total 56. Caffyn, with great confidence, then made his appearance, and, having made a stay, brought " Isaac'' on again at Iddison's end, off whom Caffyn immediately made a splendid oft'- drive for three, when Slinn gave Stephenson one which went off his leg, he having contributed 15 by a three ( leg- hit from Slinn), two twos ( nicely played to the leg), and singles. Three wickets thus fell for 77 runs. Griffith followed, and Caffyn made a splended drive off Hodgson for five amidst great cheering. Here Hodgson gave a nice short- pitch off ball, which Griffith " crumped," but its progress was stopped by Iddison very cleverly handling it with his right hand at point; thus the fourth wicket fell for 90 runs. Jupp followed, and there was a first- class dis- play of the game. Half an hour for dinner here intervened ; the telegraph announced 107, and four wickets down. After the feed the ground was completely lined with spectators, at least 3,000 being present. After some fine play Jupp gave a skyer, which the wicket- keeper handled, the total having reached 119, of which Jupp contributed 17 by a four ( drive from Hodgson), a three ( same), three twos, and singles. Julius joined Caffyn, who was loudly applauded as he walked to the wicket. Caffyn then made a magnificent leg- hit to the entrance- gate, for which he ran four. Ceesar fell a victim in hitting round to a leg- ball, a twister from Iddison, which took his leg- stump. The sixth wicket therefore fell for 134 runs. Lockyer joined Cafiyn, and brought Berry on at Iddison's end, which caused Caflyn to be caught ( in a most splendid manner) at point, by Iddison, his third ball. Caffyn played a splendid innings, giving no chance; his figures were a five, three fours, a three, five twos, & c. Sewell followed, and had soon to follow Caffyn to the pavilion— total 157. Gunn ( 5ft lin) joined his mentor Lockyer, amidst cheers, and immedi- ately made a square leg hit from Berry for 2. The master and pupil brought on Hodgson at Berry's end, and his first ball bowled the young'un, who played a merry 11— total 179. The last man, Pooley, joined Lockyer, and commenced work in earnest, making two splendid off drives from Hodgson for fours, who was then changed for Iddison's slows. He drove him for 3, and the Yorkshire left the field for refreshment; the last man in, too! Shortly afterwards Pooley was bowled, and the innings terminated at half past five o'clock for 201, Lockyer bringing out his bat for a well- played innings of 30, composed of three threes, six twos, & c, Pooley's figures were two fours, a three, two twos, & c. Betting, which at starting was 5 to 4 on Yorkshire, was now 2 to 1 on Surrey. The fielding of Yorkshire was quite first- class, and the bowling of Blinn excellent. Hodgson was not at home. Iddison's point was admirable. Yorkshire sent Brownhill and Thewlis. Brownhill obtained one off Caffyn's first over. Griffith in his first over nearly bowled two wides, but his third ball finished Brownhill; thus the first wicket fell for one run. Bowbotham followed, but his usual brilliancy was cut short by the wicket keeper; he made a four, two threes, and a two, & e. When the stumps were drawn Thewlis, an excellent bat, had scored 17, andE. Stephenson| 3— total - 34. During the afternoon upw ards of 3,000 spectators were present. On TUESDAY the day was again a lovely one; the play did not commence until twelve o'clock, much too late on so good a wicket. Thewlis was caught short- leg by Mortlock ( Jupp taking long stop). He did increase his score this morning, which comprised two fours, two twos, & c. Mr Waud joined Stephenson, and both played admirably to the very best bowling of Caffyn and Griffith, causing Sewell to be substituted for the latter; 60 up. After half an hour's good play E. S. was caught by H. H. S. at cover slip, scoring 17 by three threes, two twos, & c. Anderson followed, and after playing a ball very hard on his foot, was bowled the next ball; five for 72. Iddison took his place and, with Mr Waud, caused the telegraph to announce 100, when Mortlock went on with his slows at Caffyn's end, and Griffith at Bewell's. The slows secured Mr Waud, being well caught at mid- on, having played one of the finest innings ever seen; it comprised a five ( fine cut from Caffyn), two threes, four twos, and singles. Six wickets had now fallen for 118 runs. Dawson came next, and commenced with singles. The two increased the score to 148, when Iddison ( who just managed to secure the talent sov) was bowled oft his legs. His figures were a four ( drive from Sewell), six threes, five twos, and singles. For the masterly manner in which he played for his 51 he was loudly applauded, and presented with the " sov. " John Berry then put in an appearance, and remained until the dinner bell rang— total 165. After this Lockyer took the bowling at Sewell's end, and succeeded in his first over in bowling Dawson, who played a careful and j udicious innings of 20, composed of three twos, and the rest all in singles, eight wickets down for 169. Betting was freely 3 to 1, that the runs would be got off. Hodgson injudiciously run out— total 174. Slinn came and was nearly bowled the first ball by the slows; the third settled him. Thus the innings closed for 172, being 29 in minority of their opponents. At this period of the game there were no less than 4,000 spectators present. No time was lost ere Surrey sent in Mortlock and Humphrey to the bowling of Slinn and Hodgson. In the first over Mortlock made a leg hit for 3, and Humphrey a splendid on drive for five. Maiden overs were then bowled, until Mortlock tave a skier to long stop, which was accepted— total 14. Grif- th's leg stump was taken— total 16. Hodgson was now bowling exceedingly well, but notwithstanding, the batting surpassed it, and Iddison's slows were put on at his end— 50 up. Berry was tried at Slinn's. Humphrey, after playing a splendid innings of 29, most injudiciously run out. He played a splendid innings, composed of a five, two fours, a three, four twos, & c; the third wicket, therefore, fell for 68 runs. Lockyer joined Caffyn, the latter being " all there.'' He immediately made a drive from Berry for four. Lockyer's middle stump was taken out of the ground by Hodgson, who had gone on at Iddison's end— total 77, for four wickets. Jupp followed, and Caffyn was cleverly caught at long square leg by Brownhill, a most promising Yorkshire, and perhaps, England player. Caffyn could never have been more pleased than with this, his 30 innings, which comprised a four, five threes, a two, & c. The Australian Capt, H. H., took his place, and after making a four ( drive from Slinn), two threes, and two singles, had his © ft' stump dislodged, making a total of 93 for six wickets. Three more runs were scored, and the bell, at half- past six, announced that the game had finished for the day. On WEDNESDAY the two bats resumed their places. Julius, we are sorry to chronicle, was troubled about the " old I foot," which was a great disadvantage both to himself and the county; he, however, under the circurnstanoes, strove hard for success, but, unfortunately, Pooley, who was running for him, caused him to be run out; his eleven comprised a three ( cut from Hodgson), three twos, & c. Pooley followed Cffisar, but was bowled for 0— total 121 for eight wickets. Sewell came, and was caught at point, the total being 122. Little Gunn, the last man, was applauded 011 his way to the wicket. These two made a stand, causing Jupp to pass the winning post ( beating Caffyn's 30), and still running. They brought on Iddison's slows at Hodg- son's end, off whose second ball he was caught in the slip. The innings terminated for 144, thus leaving, at half- past one o'clock on Wednesday, Yorkshire 174 to get to win. Bet- ting : 5 to 4 on Surrey. Berry and_ Thew\ is were sent in to the " anywhere." Griffith bowled a few rather wide of the wicket, but his eleventh ball disturbed Thewlis's timber, and thus the first wicket fell for two runs, made in byes. E. Stephenson then made his appearance, but was soon disposed of by giving a skyer to Jupp, the lang- stop ; thus the second valuable wicket went for a total of seven runs onty. Iddison came next. Berry was well caught by H. H., just a " snick;" total 9 Mr Waud came only to be bowled by a good ' un; total the same. Rowbothatnfollowed, arid with Iddison got the bowlers collared, and when 50 runs had been scored, Sewell was substituted for Griffith. The telegraph an- nounced 80, when the slows were put on at Lockyer's end. The match at this period was exciting, and run getting was very fast. 108 was booked, when the ground was deserted for refreshment. Upon returning Stephenson left the wicket and took the ball at the end where Griffith was bowling, and after a while, got him caught at short leg, giving a skyer. Better cricket could not have been exhibited than by those two players, and Mr M. J. Ellison immediately made a collection, and obtained upwards of £ 15, in acknowledgment of their masterly display. As it is generally the case with two " stickers,"' Rowbotham soon followed him. Brown- hill, a good man. then came in, and with Anderson finished the match in favour of Yorkshire by three wickets.

This match was played at Middlesborough on the loth July and following days, and was got up by Dr Richardson and Mr Vaughan on the part, of the now combined Stockton and Middles- borough Clubs, and by Major Elwon on the part of Yorkshire, and was looked upon as a trial match in order to test the strength of Stockton and Middlesborough. There was a considerable amount of cricketing talent engaged in the match. Excellent cricket was shown, Yorkshire proving victorious by five wickets, after an exciting struggle. The batting of Hornby, J03', Halton, Bobinson, Darnton, and Speight deserves great commendation; and for the other side Major Coates, Thewlis, Iddison, Anderson, and Dawson deserve honourable mention, the gallant major in the second innings undoubtedly pulling off the match. The Yorkshire Eleven were very hospitably entertained by Major El- won at Redcar during their stay.

A very agreeable visit has this week been made by the Oxford College Servants to their brethren of Cambridge University, for the purpose of a trial of skill at cricket and also rowing. The London and North Western Railway Company allowed tickets from Mon- day, July 27, to the following Thursday, to return by any train during those four days, for the payment of 10s. After being on the line from eight o'clock to 11: 35, the destination was reached, and on joining the Cambridge Servants on Parker's Piece ( 20 acres) a good lunch was waiting, to which the Oxford Servants, after a ride of 78 miles, did ample justice. At two o'clock the ground was cleared for the cricket match ( the score of which we give below), and although the Cambridge won by 38 runs, it will, we think, be anybody's match when Cambridge visits Oxford 011 the 4th of August and following days. On Tuesday and Wednes- day mornings, July 28 and 29, the colleges and public buildings of the University were visited, and nothing could exceed the kind- ness and liberality displayed by the Cambridge Servants and their friends. The boat race ( eight- oared) took place on Wednes- day evening, July 29; the distance was a mile and a quarter, a time race, starting 100 yards apart. This event was won by Ox ford by nearly half a minute. The crews were— Oxford :" l. J. Wilkinson; 2. W. Annetts ; 3. W. Chandler; 4. H. Combes ; 5. R. Lap worth; 6. J. Chandler; 7. W. M'Kensie; 8. C.

A number of marquees were erected, the weather was all that a cricketer could desire, and the ground was graciously honoured with the presence of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and other members of the royal family.

After playing at Rugby the Diamonds proceeded to Leaming- ton, where, on Thursday, July 16, having won the toes, they sent in Messrs Burgess and Fiainstead to represent tliein at the wickets; both these gentlemen played well, as, in fact, with but few exceptions, did the whole side, especially C. Booth, who played a first- rate innings of 40, and was then unfortunately run out, but not through any fault of his own. The match ultimately ended in a draw, Leamington having to follow their innings, and making the long score of 262. Score: DIAMONDS. J. Burgess, run out 18 Rev A. Flamstead, c and b Ivens. 17 E.

SOUTH WALES v I ZINGARI- JULY 30 and 31.— This match, concluded yesterday evening at Lord's, will rank among the best of the season for a brilliant dis- play of cricket. South Wales went first to the wickets, and by steady play and free hitting, put a total score up of 264. The I Zingari following, through tliefinedefensive play of Mr Grimston and of Mr Stacey, who is a Welshman, scored 172; and being then in a minority of 93, after an interval of ten minutes, again went to the wickets. Mr Fitzgerald was missed oif Mr Grace's slows at 40, and again off Mr Grace's rouxd- arm bowling at 75; his innings was a most brilliant one, and his repeated hits were much cheered. They put a total score up of 227, being thus 135 on. South Wales went to the wickets at five o'clock, and between that and seven p. m., succeeded with the loss of five wickets in rubbing off the score. Mr Grace's batting was most brilliant, and runs were obtained at the rate of more than one a minute The South Wales gentlemen have now played five matches in the last fortnight in and abeut London, and with the exception of the Surrey match, which was drawn, have won them all. Score: SOUTH WALES. HAYES v BLACKHEATH PARAGON. This match was played at Hayes on July 20, Hayes, as th' score will show, winning by 133 runs in a single innings. The fine innings of Mr A. C. Wathen and J. Wells were made by very fine cricket, neither of them giving a chance till the last. Messrs W. H. Wathen and Richardson also played brilliant innings. Messrs Teape and Read bowled well, though unsuccessfullj'. Mr W. H. Wathen's slow round and J. Wells's fast bowling was very difficult, as the result will show. Score: HAYES. J.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MASTERS OF HOUNDS- ME EDITOK : For one person twenty couple in the kennel is quite sufficient to hunt two days a week. Seventeen couple in the field is better than more, take the season through. Commence cub hunting when the corn is cleared round the covers; the middle of August is none too soon. Kill one cub and go home. Don't hang about when the covers get hot with the sun. Avoid digging cubs to blood the hounds ; it makes them indifferent to tear him up. The best blood for hounds is to kill a fox above ground when they are hot at him. When you commence hunting keep them to it two days in the week regular ; you will then find the young hounds will soon become steady to their work. Con- dition should bf>. well studied. Keep their haunches well filled ; flesh is not required on their ribs. A huntsman that can speak well to hounds need not trouble the horn. A good cheer animates the hounds more than twenty horns. When the regular season commences, and days get short, don't draw late ; it often makes hounds slack. If hounds can pick up the scent, leave them alone; lifting too much keeps their heads up when they ought to be down.— Yours, & c, AN OLD HUNTER THAT HAS SEEN Andover", July 22. THREESCORE AND TEN. SALE OF HUNTERS.— We perceive in our advertising columns the hunters of one of Lord Yarborough's sporting tenants are to be sold at Tattersall's on Monday, August 3, the reason for which, we regret to learn, is an accident, which renders absence from the hunting field imperative. DEATH OF THE DOWAGER LADY FOLEY.— We have to an- nounce the death of the above lady, which took place at six o'clock on Monday morning, at her residence in Great Stanhope- street. Her ladyship had been in a weak state of health for some time past. The deceased, Cecilia Olivia Geraldine, was fifth daughter of the second Duke of Leinster, by the only daughter and heir of Lord St George, whose title is now extinct. Her lady- ship was born in 1786, and married, in 1806, the third Lord Foley, who died in 1833. THE SWYNFEN CASE.— BROUN V KENNEDY.— JUDGMENT.— This was a bill filed to set aside a deed whereby Mrs Broun, then Mrs Swynfen, conveyed the reversion of the Swynfen estate, sub- ject to certain charges, to the defendant. The plaintiff now im- peached the validity of that deed on the ground of undue influence. — The Master of the Rolls on Friday morning delivered judgment. He held that Mr Kennedy had exercised an undue influence over Mrs Broun ( Swynfen), and that his relations to her were not satisfactory. He ordered that the deed conveying the estate to Mrs Swynfen should be returned to court, for the purpose of being cancelled ; and that Mr Kennedy be condemed in the costs cf the proceedings. TROTTING. DAISY AND POTATO BOB.— We have received legal notice from Mr Harrison ( owner of Daisy) not to part with the money in this match, but we have, in accordance with our usual practice, taken a guarantee from Mr Read ( owner of Potato Bob), and he has received the money. All bets must be paid. We have not heard from the referee this week, but we understand he has paid over some money he held to the backers of Potato Bob. We take it for granted, therefore, that he does not deny having given a decision in the hearing of cur reporter to the effect that Potato Bob was the winner. R. Hayes not being satisfied with his late match with J. East will trot him again, over the same ground, two miles, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side. If East will send a deposit to the Editor of ' Bell's Life and articles to Hayes, at Mr G. Hook's, Summer- lane, a match can be on. If this is not accepted, he will trot Kitty Whiffler three or five miles, or B. Burford's black mare, on the same terms. RANGER 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 Ground, Liverpool, Mr Moffit staking £ 300 to Mr Kaye's £ 200 ; the match to take place on August 12, between two and four o'clock. Mr E. Ford, of Liverpool, is appointed stakeholder, and he now has the £ 500. YATES AND LAMBAED.— The match, for £ 10 a side, between Mr Yates's Maid of all Work and Mr Lambard's Little Wonder to trot two miles comes off on Monday, Aug 3, at the Pike and Anchor trotting ground, Porider's End. We have the whole of the money. E. M. Grace, b Fitzgerald 22 J. J. Sewell, run out 35 C. Bishop, b Fitzgerald.. 48 E. A. Howsin, b Pamell 52 H. Beade, st Stacey, b Fitzgerald.. 2 » W. F.

SURREY CLUB AND GROUND v SOUTHGATE. This annual contest between these two clubs was commenced on Thursday at the Oval. Surrey played weak, aud Southgate ( if possible) stronger than usual. Surrey won the toss, and went in first, and by 10 minutes to dinner time ( three o'clock) were all out, scoring 109, of which Humphrey contributed 38, Mr Ede 34, and Mr Calvert 13. After dinner Southgate went to work, and the two first wickets ( T. Hearne and Mr Waller) wiped off the runs. The score will speak for itself— nine double figures out of eleven. The innings lasted until 20 minutes past four on Fridajr, thus giving the Surrey Club team the benefit of a day's fielding. Change after change was tried, but to no avail; the bowling was completely collared. The total amounted to the moderate sum of 494 '! Surrey in their second hands scored 124, Humphrey, Griffith, Jupp, Messrs Daniell and Winterflood being the chief contributors. Sonthgate won in one innings and 261 to spare.

MR EDITOR : If we are ever to obtain the promise of a week next year for the Harrow, Eton, and Winchester matches, now is the time to exert ourselves. It seems to me that a public meeting composed of old members of these three schools, with the view of organising measures for getting up a petition to the three head masters, signed by the parents of the boys now at the schools ( and also by old members) in favour of the old matches between Harrow, Eton, and Winchester, would be an effectual way of agitating the subject. If we did not succeed in obtaining a week, at any rate we might obtain another day for the Harrow and Eton match, so that it at least might be finished. A Harrow man myself, I know many influential old Harrovians who would be only too glad of the opportunity of expressing their opinions on this subject. Trusting to your well- known sympathy for the Public Schools to insert this, if you think the suggestion might be useful.— I am, j'ours, & c, I. S. K. Cheshire, July 28, 1863. ETON v HARROW. ME EDITOR : In your summary of matches played between Eton and Harrow, I observe that you include a match played in 1857 between Etonians and Harrovians under 20. This is mani- festly a mistake. The match in question was never intended as a real ' bonafide contest between the two schools, but was got up with a view to keeping the question before the public, and paving the waj' to a return to the primitive practice. In no sense can it be considered to rank among the regular contests between the two schools. Thirty- eight matches have now ( 186- 3) been played, of which Eton has won 19, Harrow 16, and three have been drawn.— Yours, & e, A. H. A. M. July 23, 1863. STONE DISTRICT V STALLIMGTON.— This return match was played on the ground of the former on July 24. The game not being played out, it was decided on the first innings in favour of Stone by seven runs. Mr J. Smith scored 49 in fine style, and Mr Wailes was presented with a new bat on his return to the tent. Score : Stone District 63 and 228, Stallirigton 56 and 50 ( with seven wickets down). SHUGBOROUGH v MR WAILES'S ELEVEN.— This match was commenced at Shugborough Park on July 25, the rain preventing it being played out. Score : Mr Wailes's side 159, Bhugborough 48 ( with six wickets down). INDIA- CAPTURE OF NENA SAHIB. BOMBAY, JUNE 9.— Nana Sahib has been captured in the Temple of Ajmere by Capt Brodigan, of the 28th Infantry, on in- formation supplied by the Bombay police. According to the official report of Major Davidson, no doubt whatever exists of the prisoner's identity. The papers found upon Nana Sahib show plans of an extensive conspiracy, and of his having large sums of money at his command. Five thousand Bengal Sepoys are ru- moured to be at Saloomba, under Tantia Topee. The man hanged in that name four years ago is now supposed not to have been that leader. The country is everywhere quiet. Herat has been taken by the Affghans, but Dost Mahomed is reported dead. CHINA. SHANGHAI, JUNE 5.— Major Gordon' has captured the city of Quinsang. No news from Japan. Matters seem more pacific. A fearful earthquake took place at Manilla on the 3d inst. The town was destroyed, and 10,000 natives buried among the ruins. THE CONDEMNED MURDERERS AT MAIDSTONE. Since the sentence passed upon Alfred Eldridge he has made what he calls a confession of his guilt— that is to say, he confessed to having committed the murder, but he alleges that a quarrel had taken place between him and the deceased, and the deceased had struck him, whereupon lie was exasperated, and attacked the deceased, and when he was down kicked him about the head until he was dead. This story is not believed, and it is suppj ' that the law will be allowed to take its course. With regard to the other prisoner, Alfred Holden, who is also left for execution for the murder of his child, an infant eleven months old, a me- morial has been forwarded to the Home Secretary for a commu tation of the prisoner's sentence, on the ground of insanity, and ifc is believed that Mr Baron Channell, who tried the case, will not be opposed to this course. ROBBERY OF £ 40. To- day, at the Surrey Ses sions, Freeland Chisman, a carpenter was indicted for stealing £ 40 in gold, the property of Thomas Brown. The prosecutor, an eiderly man, had saved up in his trade of a carpenter the above sum, whieh he kept locked up in his tool- box. The box was found one day broken open, and the money gone. The prisoner was upon the point of being mar- ried, and he had asked the young woman to take charge of £ 35 in gold, which he said he had saved up, The box had been opened by a chisel, and it was found that a tool belonging to the prisoner exactly fitted the mark on the box. The prisoner had hitherto borne an excellent character.— The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but recommended him to mercy on account of his pre- vious good character. Sentence— Twelve months' hard labour. The money was restored to the prosecutor. AQUATICS.

The tendency of the rates of discount has been in the direction of greater easiness, and many of the best short- dated bills hare been readily negotiated at 3f per cent, and at 3| per cent for those having three months to run. At the Bank of Eng- land, where the minimum remains at 4 per cent, the inquiries have been limited, as was shown in the official return, where the decrease in the other securities exhibited a considerable falling off in this description of business transacted by the authorities. On the other hand a gradual increase has been effected in the bullion reserves of the establishment, and as there is little prospect that a revival of demand for exports to the Continent will spring up during the next few days, and as fresh supplies from Australia and America are daily arriving, the probability is that greater monetary facilities will be offered to the mercantile community. The accounts from the agricultural districts prognosticate an abundant harvest, and the Board of Trade returns for the past half- year show that our manufacturers have been actively em- ployed, and that the exports exceed nearly £ 5,000,000 in value over the corresponding period of 1862. The Funds have varied, though not to any considerable extent, and upon the whole have manifested a buoyant appearance. Consols closed yesterday ( Fri- day) afternoon at 92| 93 for money and account. During the past week business in the Foreign Stock Market continued active, and several of the principal securities have fluctuated to some extent. The Confederate Loan at one time de- clined about 10 to 12 per cent, but a partial reaction has since taken place. Mexican Stock has improved about f. Spanish Passive Bonds while Greek Bonds have varied Turkish Bonds have also slightly improved, the Loan of 1858 about and the Consolides In the other securities the tendency of prices has also been towards an advance. SATURDAY EVENING. A heavy[ tone has prevailed in the Stock Market to- day, prices in most instances having shown a downward movement. Consols receded { per cent, being quoted at the close 92| for money and the 6th instant. Greek Bonds declined $ to 32. J- the Coupons | to 15j, and the Confederate Loan receded I per cent, being quoted 17 15 dis. Railway shares were also heavy, and closed about 5 to f per cent lower than on the previous afternoon. Bank and Miscellaneous shares remained without material alteration. FREE FORESTERS v INC0GNITI This match was played at Sutton Coldfield on July 24 and 25, and, thanks to the excellent, batting of Messrs Whittington, Mar- shall, and Mott, the energetic innings of Mr Browning, and the steady bowling of the Messrs Gem and Jessop, the Foresters by the middle of the second day left their adversaries in the pleasant position of having 240 runs to get to win, and a thoroughly wet afternoon to do it in. Jupiter Pluvius then came to the rescue, and effected what the spirited play of the Incogs would hardly, perhaps, have done ( though Hussey, Hemming, Brune, and Lam bert all showed themselves good men and true), by drawing the match.

The start took place at five minutes to four, when the Leander came away with a good lead, which they held through- out, being a length clear at Bimmons's, and another at the Point. The Westminsters, by some judicious steering, shortened the dis- tance between themselves and the Leander in crossing to Ham- mersmith Bridge, and came up within a length of them, and they continued for a few minutes to hold this position, but then the Leander went away, and stopped opposite the Eyot three lengths a head. DOGGETT'S COAT AND BADGE RACE. This important annual event came off yesterday over the usual course, from the Old Swan at London Bridge, to the Old Swan at Chelsea. The competitors were as under :— Thomas Young ( I'rinces Stairs, Rotherhithe) 1 Frederic Robert Russell ( Bermondsey) 2 John Egalton ( Blackwall) 3 Edwtrd William Edwards ( Tower) 4 Henry Pruce ( Bankside) 5 John Edward Mears ( Deptford) 6 Unfortunately, as far as our account is concerned, there was no steamboat to accompany the race, but as near as we could see and learn, the first man on the card, who, as usual, had the northern- most station, obtained the lead, followed by Mears, Russell third. These positions had materially altered, however, by the time they reached Waterloo Bridge; here Young was first, soon afterwards Russell came second, and Egalton third. These positions never altered, Young winning by 10 lengths, Russell second, by half that, Egalton third, Edwards fourth, Pruce fifth, and Mears last. The time of the winner was about 37min. A detailed account will be given in our next. _ 1) XF0RD CITY REGATTA. The committee of this regatta have announced that it will take place on Tuesday, Aug 18, for one day only. This decision is rather to be regretted, as it will be a heavy task for many of the competitors, who will probably enter for several events, for the purpose of preventing a walk over the course. THE HORSE AND THE HOUND SHOW AT REDCAR. FRIDAY, JULY 31. ( BY TELEGIIAM.) FOXHOUNDS.— Judges: Major Fletcher, Mr M. Milbank, Capt Percy Williams, Sir Watkin W. Wynn. CLASS 1.— Three couples of Foxhounds from the same ken nel, of either or mixed sexes, and of one age or any age, but no hound to be younger than one- season hunter, nor any be older than a six- season hunter.

At the meeting held at Kettering on Wednesday, July 29, the All England premium of £ 20 for tlie best hunter of five years old or upwards was awarded to Mr Gale's King of Oude horse, which won in his class at Stamford last year. " The King" has grown into a very powerful but rather coarse, common horse, with not the best of shoulders. Mr Drage's brown by Vortex, showing a deal more blood and style, was highly commended ; and Mr Elliott's Ugly Buck gelding and Mr Owen Wallis's Catesbv horse commended. Mr Sanders, of Brampton Hill, was declared to have the best four year old, a very clever one, by Vortex ; and Capt Tibbit's yearling by Drumour was the first of the younger class. There was a close thing of it between Mr Gale's Varmint old mare and Mr Hipwell's neat galloway for the best of the hackneys ; but the former, after considerable discussion, had the preference with the authorities. Mr C. Watts claimed the best pony; and Mr Sharp, of Finedon, sent an old mare that, with her foal by The Ugly Buck, beat a large field in the brood mare class. The cart horses appeared to be good ; but the committee, in the exercise of a profound stupidity, withheld the catalogue on tlieir best day, and thus defied all tangible criticism. The judges, Messrs Dickens, of Cold Higham, and D. Gandman, of Barton Segrave, considered the hunter class a very good one; but the show was altogether inferior to that of Stamford last season. ALLEGED ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY- To- day, at Guildhall police office, W. Pinder, a traveller in the employ of Mr Foley, an importer of fancy goods, in Thavie's Inn, was charged with robbing his employer of a box of jewellery, value £ 80.— The prosecutor stated that the prisoner took the box with him on his rounds and brought it back without having sold any of the goods. He then went off, taking the box with him a second time, and as he did not return inquiries were made at his residence, where he was found in a state of in- toxication, and he then stated that he had got drunk and lost the box with the jewellery.— A detective office said he had been round with the prisoner to various public houses at which he had been drinking, but could hear nothing of the box. The prisoner, however, was seen with £ 2 in his possession, although he went out in the morning with only 2s. This led him to believe that the property had been left somewhere as a security, and if it had been placed in the hands of a honest man, he might, perhaps, come forward and give an account of it.— Mr Beard, who appeared for the prisoner, said lie did not remember where he had'left the box, but if liberty were given him he would go with the officer and endeavour to find it.— Alderman Hale eventually decided on remanding the prisoner, but accepted bail, himself in £ 50, and one surety in £ 25. SHOCKING BRUTALITY. To- day, at Marlborougb- street, Thomas Portsmouth, a rough dirty- looking fellow, was prosecuted by Mr William Love, Chief Officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, on a charge of gross cruelty to a dog. James Ashton said he was in Tower- street, St Martin's- Iane, yesterday evening about seven o'clock, when he saw the prisoner hold a small brown dog under the mouth of a large white one, so that the latter might bite the brown one. The prisoner did this about a dozen times, the white one biting the brown one each time. The brown dog got away from the prisoner and went and laid on its back, crying as if in great agony. The prisoner ran after it, brought it back, and again held it to be bitten by the white dog. He then gave the prisoner in charge, and on making inquiries that morn- ing heard that the brown dog was dead.— Fined 40s, or a month's imprisonment. FORGERY AND FRAUD. To- day, at Southwark police court, John Wilson was charged with obtaining goods from various tradesmen in the district of the court on forged orders. On the 29th of June he called at the shop of Messrs Faust and Co, grocers, and presented a written order purporting to be signed by the landlady of the Dun Horse • favern, for various articles of grocery, including 12 pounds of foots sugar, which he said he was directed to take back with him, as it was wanted immediately. The sugar was packed up, and he was allowed to take it. The order was a forgery. There were other cases against him of a similar nature. When taken into cus- tody several forged orders for grocery were found upon him pur. porting to be signed by different tradesmen in the Borough.— Committed for trial. ROBBING ORCHARDS. To- day, at Westminster police court, Michael Carroll, 13 years old, was charged with robbing a gentleman's garden in the Ful ham- road.— Mr Keysell, the prosecutor, said he had lately been greatly annoyed by a number of boys throwing brickbats into his garden at the trees and then stealing the fruit. The prisoner was seen to throw stones and rob the fruit. He had already been convicted of a similar offence at Hammersmith. He was fined 14s, or fourteen days' imprisonment. ALLEGED MURDER. To- day, at Worship- street police court, Ann Percy, aged 32, a married woman, was charged with causing the death of Wm. Burke, a labourer, with whom she cohabited. Prisoner and de- ceased had been quarrelling on the previous night. While stand- ing at the door the prisoner struck at the deceased with a knife, which she must have taken from the table before she left the room. The knife had been plunged into the upper part of the man's thigh, and he died from exhaustion, caused by the loss of blood. The prisoner had lived with deceased about nine months, and had one child. The deceased had five children.— The prisoner was remanded. DEFALCATIONS OF A RATE COLLECTOR. To- day, at the Thames police court, George Burrows, aged 59, late collector of the general rates for the parish of Bromley St Leonard's, was charged with feloniously embezzling the sum of £ 325. The prisoner's accounts had lately been found incorrect.— Remanded for a week, and bail accepted to the amount of £ 1,000. In the second innings of the Incogniti, P. Hemming scored ( b Jessop) 12, Hussey ( c Dueane, b Jessop) 0, Lambert ( hit w, b Uem) 4, Brune ( not out) 2, A. Hemming ( b Jessop) 7 ; 1 b 1, w b 4— total 30. SEVENOAKS VINE v OLD WYKEHAMISTS- July 21, a wet day, aud no mistake; but there were hardy Wykehamists on one side, and a hardy Vine on the other, and neither side would be cheated of their sport. So they fancied themselves boys again and played through the rain, and managed to enjoy themselves in spite of it. Willes hit very hard, and Short played a plucky and merry innings, which, in spite of the good play of Whitting, Kennedy, and Sewell, proved too much for their opponents. The fielding was good considering the rain. WYKEHAMISTS. ) THE VINE. Rev L. Pilkington, b Glyn 0 J. Whitting, c Pilkington, b J. J. Thresher, leg b w, b Leigh.. .. 27 : Thresher 23 P.

Lord Macdonaid, who was in his 55th year, had long been in failing health, and his death was not unexpected. He is succeeded by his eldest son, Somerled James Brudenell, born in October, 1849. DEATH OF CAPT J. S. WILLES JOIINSON, M. P.— A vacancy has occurred in the representation of the Montgomery district of bo- roughs, in the House of Commons, by the death of Capt John Samuel Willes Johnson, R. N., M. P. Tliehon and gallant member died on Saturday, July 25, at Hannington Hall, Highworth, Wilts, after a protracted illness, from which cause he had absented himself from the Lower House during the late session. DEATH or MDLLE LIVBY.— Mdlle Emma Livry died on Tues- day morning at Neuilly, after seven months of dreadful suffering from the effects of the terrible burning in the accident she met with. She was only 21 years of age. NEW PEEK.— Mr Monckton Milnes, M. P. for Pontefract, is now raised to the peerage by the title of Baron Houghton. " To a high social position and sufficient wealth," says The Times, " he unites an honourable literary reputation, a long political experience, and a good deal of that prestige which is the joint result of recognised ability and character. In what may be called the secondary questions of politics, and in the semi- political questions which are better discussed outside the House of Commons than within its walls, he has taken a very active and influential part. Until lately there were few persons in Parliament who felt so warm an interest in continental politics, or who had anything like the same acquaintance with them, and very few indeed who had thought and written so much about such matters as national education, sanitary reform, and the treatment of criminals. These merits and accomplishments are not the elements of parliamentary fame, but they are of great value in themselves, and certainly contribute to adorn a seat in the House of Lords. Mr Milnes does not belong to the highest rank of poets, or states- men, or philanthropists, or economists, but he is enrolled as a working member in all of these classes, and has done a greater amount of goed service for the public than many more conspicuous men. To this, rather than to any claims upon the gratitude of the Liberal party, we must attribute the choice of the Premier. PISCICULTURE. On Thursday afternoon a meeting of the friends and supporters of piscicultural improvement in England was held in St J ames's Hall, to consider the best means of forming a piscicultural esta- blishment for the purpose of hatching and distributing various kinds of ova and fry, of acclimatising new kinds of fish, and of crossing and improving the breeds and the supply of fish which we at present possess, upon the system adopted at the French establishment at Huningue. Amongst the leading gentlemen present were the Marquis of Worcester, Lord North, Major- Gen Watkins, Major- Gen Anstruther, Dr M. Hall, Dr Hood, the Rev G. Hodgson, Mr E. Wilson, of Melbourne; Mr J. Youll, of Sydney; Capt D. Damer, M. P.; Messrs J. A. D. Wake, W. H. Brougham, C. J. Smith. C. W. Hamilton, F. Buckland, E. H, Moscrop, and other gentlemen identified with the progress and improvement of the river fisheries of Great Britain.— Mr E. Wil- son, of Australia, took the chair, and observed that the science of fish culture was largely calculated to be beneficial to the public in general, and the acclimatising various foreign fish was the proposed object of a projected society to carry out, on a more extended scale, the several experiments that had already been tried with regard to salmon and trout, and which was only a specimen of what could be done with many other fish.— Mr Francis, in detailing the proposed plan, argued that the breed of fish was as capable of being crossed as animals, and would be pro- ductive of great good to mankind. The council of the Acclimatisa- tion Society were inclined to take up the question as a branch of their operations, and would forward the plans, provided it did not tax tlieir funds too much. He ( Mr Francis) had suitable pre- mises, and proposed to superintend the erection of apparatus, and attend to the working thereof, for twelve months; and it was also proposed that the society should supply the members with ova and fry at a less price than they could get them elsewhere, if indeed they could get them at all. The fry of trout and gray- ling was sold at £ 1 per 100, and the value of ova was about the same. He did not know at present one place in Great Britain where he could get them, and the society he proposed would supply a want which was not at present provided for.— The Chairman remarked that if such objects could be carried into effect the time would come when they would see in the rivers of England the salmon ( which was the finest fish in the world) and other fish of a much larger growth than were now known or looked for- The following resolution was then moved:—" That this meeting has heard the statement laid before it by Mr Francis, and declares its approval of the same, and desires to signify its adhesion for creating a piscicultural establishment on the basis laid down.'' The mover said it was one of the functions of the Acclimatisation Society to promote pisciculture, and that they should introduce into this country fish not known here before. They were now asked to aid the effort to introduce pisciculture, for the promotion of which an act of Parliament had been passed to prevent the unfair destruction of fish in their rivers. The proposition now made was that they should combine to form a society for the prosecution of their propositions.— Mr. Youll, of Australia, in se- conding the motion, hoped that the society would be formed, fo' the result would be that the rivers of this country would TC stocked with fish at a small expense.— Mr Wake hoped that~\ > racious( fish would not be turned indiscriminately into our rivers, for the result would be that as they increased other fish would decrease.— Mr Buckland called attention to the fact that nature had made a cross between the salmon and the trout, and we could take example by that and make a cross between non- migratory and migratory fish, and it would be very desirable if they could be kept in our rivers.— The Chairman said the society would exer- cise their discretion in what fish they would introduce.— Ulti- mately a subscription list was given in of gentlemen willing to become members of the proposed society, and a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the business. DEATH OF THE EABL OF MOENINGTON.— Intelligence has reached London announcing the death of this nobleman, which took place on Saturday week, on the Continent. The deceased was son of the fourth earl by his first wife, Miss Tylney Long, eldest daughter and co- heir of the late Sir James Tylney Long, Bart. His lordship was born at Wanstearl House in 1813, and suc- ceeded to the family honours on the demise of his father in 1857. The late earl leaves an only sister, and the title devolves upon his cousin, the Duke of Wellington. DEATH OF THE MABQUIS OF NOBMANBY.— We have to record the death of the Marquis of Norman by, K. G., which took place on Tuesday morning, July 28, at Hamilton Lodge, South Kensing- ton, from an attack of paralysis, after a brief illness. His lordship was in his 66th year. His lordship entered Parliament in 1318 as a Whig, and during his long career served his country in many capacities. He was in turn Governor of Jamaica, Lord Privy Seaf, Lord- Lieutenant of Ireland, Secretary for the Colonies, ' Home Secretary, ambassador to Paris, & c, & c. He is succeeded by his son, the Earl of Mulgrave. CBYSTAL, PALACE.— Return of admissions for six days ending Saturday, Aug 1 ( including season ticket holders), 66,231. Printed and Published bv W LI.
