Charles Oakley's selections for the above races are of a very first- rate character, and ought to be acted upon without delay. He feels as san- guine of winning the Ebor Handicap as he was last season when he pulled through with flying colours. With respect to the near- approach- ing great Doncaster event, the St Leger, C. Oakley begs to state there is not the slightest change in his opinion; he stands on one horae only for this important race; the horse he names to win will come to the'post fit to run for a kingdom, and, C. Oakley does not hesitate to assert, can do the trick by a distance if required: the respected owner deems win- ning an absolute certainty, and positively fears nothing in the race. Certainly there never was a better opportunity of safely making money; aud C. Oakley can with the utmost confidence commend his selection to the racing public at large. Remember C. Oakley's constant brilliant success on this race; year after year he has predicted the winner. For his many other glorious victories iae begs to refer to Bell's Life. In this paper are recorded his triumphs, almo3t all the great handicaps and ether important races having been foretold by him, and regularly pub- lished in this paper. His success as a Turf adviser has been indeed truly astonishing: the immense patronage he Is honoured with is alone a proof of the brilliant character of his advise. Charles Oakley, in re- turning his sincere thanks to his old subscribers for their continued support begs to assure them their liberal patronage is fully appreciated, and they may rest assured no effort shall be wanting on his part to jus- tify their continued confidence. To those who feel the want of a faitiiful and talented monitor on Turf matters, let them apply at once to C. Oakley, who, from his great experience, and extensive means of pro- curing the very best information, stands unrivalled. His terms are as follow :— To end of the season, 10s 6d: any single race, 13 stamps. Address 52, Red Lion- street. Holborn, London. Subscribers will hear from C. Oakley again on Wednesday next. N. B. C. Oakley issued no advice as to Brighton, Lewes, & c, consider- ing the probable" winners at too short prices for investment. C. Oakley deems it perfectly useless his subscribers backing horses, as many others constantly do, at short prices, for almost every race; such a system, he well knows from long experience, must lead to heavy loss aud disap- pointment. It is only by investing freely on the good things that are 30 frequently occurring at long prices that a profit can be realised, and that a man can really and substantially increase his income. For sound, genuine, and successful Information, apply to C. Oakley, 52, Red Lion- street, Holborn, London. TTJRF.

A curious appeal is made to English liberalism, and we should be glad to believe that it could be answered in the way that would do credit to the country, but we fear that that will not be the case. And yet there will be no cause to make England or English institutions the subject of blame. In truth, human nature is nol omniscient; English legislators never expected such a case as the present to arise, and therefore never prepared for it. We have given every tolerance for the free performance of religious rites, so as to satisfy every one who had a peculiar opinion as to the value of certain forms and ceremonies. But this affected only the living, and had the result only of enabling them 10 worship in their own way. We had never anticipated such a circumstance as that of the death of a believer in a creed whose son did not be- lieve in that creed, and that from this difference would arise a pain- ful dispute as to the manner of disposing of the deceased's body. This strange event has now come upon us. The Maharanee, the widow of Runjeet Singh, has died. Her death has found our law utterly unprepared satisfactorily to adjust the difficulty we have pointed out. As the most natural thing in the world, our law gives the control over the body of the deceased to the nearest of the relatives of the dead. Nothing could at first sight seem better, but in this case that is the very source of the difficulty. The mother believed in the creed of her country, which seems to be of a Brahminical nature; the son has become a Christian. Hence arises the difficulty about disposing of the body. If the mother could have anticipated it, she | would no doubt have given positive direc tions that her body should be treated as it. would be treated in her own country, and she might ( under good advice) have given these directions in such a manner that they must have been observed. But she appears to have done nothing of the sort, and so the son has been accused ( an accusation which a letter of Col Oliphant denies) of preparing to bury his mother in the Christian form— a form which would have been deemed by the mother as most unholy. As he is her nearest relative, the English law allows him control over her dead body, and has never thought of providing for those differences of opinion which divided mother and son while she was alive, and which, if he had so thought fit, would have exposed her body to the performance of ceremonies which in life she deemed most irreligious. Col Oliphant says he has done nothing of the sort, but it is clear that the law wouid have enabled him to do it, had he been so minded. It is with the law and not him that we are now dealing. Nothing can be better than the rule of law, and yet here is an instance of the troubles it may produce. We may regret the state of the law, but we cannot alter it so as to meet the exigencies of this case. Nor, perhaps, could it ever be so altered as never to be subject to the liability to occasion pain to some one. The law is right, but its failure to meet the exigencies of a particular case of this kind shows, in a marked manner, the insufficiency of human capacity to provide against all circum- stances and to satisfy all wishes. POLAND. The question of Poland appears as far as ever distant from the chance of settlement. Nor, if werecollect whatarethecircumstances attending it, can this be matter of wonder. Still less can it be so if we remember the discordant, if not hostile, interests existing among the various parties to which its settltment must be owing. Poland, of course, desires independence— a restoration to her old limits, at least so far as Russia is concerned. The Czar is deter- mined to keep Poland dependent on himself, and to treat the Poles as the slaves of his will. He is bound by treaties to a certain course of conduct— he never observes his treaty obli- gations. On the contrary, he most grossly and wantonly violates them. This gives the other powers who were parties to the treaties by which he holds Poland in subjection the right to interfere, and to require his performance of those obligations. His answers to all are various in form, but are the same in substance. He declares that he has done everything he was bound to do, and denies the right of the other powers to intervene. A particular expression in one of those answers oftends the susceptibility of France; the popular feeling there is in favour of active inter- ference, and this expression has roused that feeling almost to the pitch of desiring war. But the French Government knows that it alone cannot successfully make war against Russia, nor make it against Russia " alone. There could be no war of invasion with any hope of success if France went single- handed into that war, for the country and the climate render Russia incapable of being conquered by the efforts of any one single power; besides which France could not advance to a land attack against Russia without passing over Prussian territory, and the present King of Prussia is the devoted admirer and humble servant of the Czar. This might not matter much, as things now stand between the Prussians and their King, if the Prussians did not believe that the real aim of the French Government would be, as a consequence of the war, to possess itself of the territory new lying between France and the left bank of the Rhine. This belief would rouse the Prussians to side with their King, and would bring to Prussian aid the forces of many, perhaps of all, the minor states of German}'. Then, again, Austria, though strongly objecting to the gross misgovern- ment by the Czar of the old Polish kingdom, fears t ® lose that part of Poland which it acquired long ago, and to which its original title is no better than is that of Russia. So that here the cause of Poland has but an unenthusiastic friend. Then, again, the English Government, which could give the needful strength and efficacy to the combination against the Czar, is not indifferent to Prussian beliefs and Austrian anxieties; and notwithstanding Earl Russell's readiness to lecture the Rus- sian Government, he has declared the intention of our own to do no more than talk and write. Such a declaration renders his writings of no effect; and thus the Russian Government stands prepared for a war of words. without much fear that there will be a war of swords. As it was felt not to be actually impossible that an insult offered to France mi^ ht rouse it into action, the Russian Government has already apologised for its indiscreet expression. As to the other powers, knowing well the motives which influence them, it sends its diplomatic notes with a certainty of their pro- ducing the " desired effect." So Poland must free itself or fall into hopeless slavery, if not national annihilation. Its present effort has been sustained so long because it is sustained by the Church ; but even that alone will hardly suffice it to contend against the power of the Czar and the ready succour lent him by the King of Prussia. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. POLAND. Upwards of fifty persons have been arrested in the palatinate of Kalisch, and subjected to great ill- treatment. The denial of this circumstance by the Russian authorities is untrue. Sixty- nine persons have been transported to Orenburg from Warsaw, and incorporated with the penal companies of the ariny. A procla- mation issued by the National Government rejects every com- promise not based upon the independence of Poland, with the restoration of the boundaries of 1772. The Journal de St Petersbourgi publishes a decree of the National Government of Warsaw, dated July the 5th, ordering a forced loan for 21,000,000 of Polish florins. The decree appoints Ladislaus Czartoriski, Joseph Ordega, and Severin Galezowski as trustees of the loan. The Patrie says that objections have been raised by England to the principle of an identical note to Russia. Rumours are cur- rent that an insurrection will break out at Warsaw. The Town Captain, in consequence, has warned the people not to be led away to make demonstrations by the endeavours of Russian agents. The National Government will inform the inhabitants when the right time for insurrection shall have arrived. Th' Polish leader Wierzbicki was attacked by an overwhelming forc^ near Kaniawola, but managed to retreat with the loss of six men. Wierzbicki himself was slightly wounded. Intelligence received from Warsaw states that the ill- treatment of the Polish prisoners confined in the citadel continues. Proudzynski has become insane from flogging. TURKEY. The Turkish National Exhibition has closed. Its commercial result has been a heavy balance on the wrong side of the account. The total cost of the building and subsequent administration amounted to 2,000,000p, against which the realised receipts were only 450,000p, leaving a deficit of more than £ 14,000. This sum, however, the Sultan has, it is said, promised to make good to the company out of the Imperial privy purse. The Sultan attended the accustomed annual meeting of the Grand Council, to hear the report on the business of the past year It was flattering to him- self, and hopefully coloured as regards the state of the country. The Turkish Government, in consequence of the charges made against the Greek Patriarch, has decreed his dismissal. ROME. The Archduke Maximilian of Austria has sent the Pope a copy of the Emperor Napoleon's letter, requesting him to accept the throne of Mexico, if chosen by popular suffrage. The Archduke has informed the Pope that he is greatly disposed to accept the offer, and that in going to Mexico religious interests will largely occupy his attention. The Court of Rome is well satisfied with, the prospect. AMERICA. Word has been sent to the Confederate Government that if Cap- tains Sawyer and Flyn, now held in close confinement in Rich- mond, are executed, in retaliation for the hanging of two spies by General Burnside at Sandusky, Ohio, General Fitzhugh Lee and Captain Winder, now in the hands of the Federals, shall suffer a like fate. Lee and Winder are now held in close confinement in a casemate of fortress Monroe. Of the garrison of Port Hudson 4,000 were in line when the place was surrendered, besides 500 wounded and 1,000 sick. The wounds are mainly in the head, from the bullets of sharpshooters. The Federal batteries had de- stroyed an immense amount of stores, and a good supply of am- munition fell into Banks's hands. President Davis has issued a proclamation ordering all men between the ages of 18 and 45 to repair to the conscript camps. The JVeiv York Herald urges the Government to grant the Confederates all their rights, under the constitution, and at once proclaim war against France and Eng- land. The Richmond JEiujuirer says there are more than 100,000 men in the Confederacy who have hired substitutes for military service. It is officially announced that the Federal debt amounted, on the 1st of July, to 197,000,000 dollars. Another Federal cavalry expedition, after severe lighting, captured ana destroyed Wythville, South Eastern Virginia, taking 100 prisoners and two pieces of artillery. They cut the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad at Wythville. Washington despatches assert that General Meade's movements will prevent Lee getting back to Richmond, or even as far as the upper end of the Shenandoah Valley, though he has been reinforced by General D. H. Hill with 10,000 men from Lower Virginia. The Enquirer says that the required stock for the Virginia Navy Company has been subscribed. It approves of the scheme, as all captured goods can be brought into the Confe- deracy as well as purchased goods, and there are other ways of diposing of them. The company will send ships to sea, which will woimd the enemy in his vitals without loss of men to the South. HER MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE FOE GERMANY.— On Tuesday afternoon Her Majesty and the royal family will embark at the Admiralty Pier, Woolwich, and proceed to the royal yacht, where they will pass the night, and on Wednesday morning will sail for German y. DEPARTURE OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES FOB THE NORTH.— H. R. H. the Prince of Wales arrived in town, from Leeds and Halifax, 011 Tuesday evening, and on Wednesday morn- ing, at 10: 30, the Prince and Princess went by special train to Ripon, where they were the guests of Earl de Grey and Ripon for the night, and on Thursday afternoon they renewed their journey to Scotland. THE PRINCE OF WALES AT HALIFAX— H. R. H. the Prince of Wales paid his promised visit to Halifax on Monday, but the royal visit was shorn of half its attraction owing to the en- forced absence of the Princess of Wales, who, suffering from slight indisposition, was forced to forego the pleasure of the trip. The disappointment to the good people of Halifax was of course intense. Never did town deserve disappointment less, for never did town do more in honour of visitors, however high in station. One of the great centres of England's manufactures, it has endeavoured to show that in affectionate loyalty to the reign- ing family and in personal attachment to the heir apparent and liis fair wife, it is not a whit behind more courtly cities. Money was lavished almost without a check to render Halifax beautiful in the eyes of its royal visitors. It appears that the prince and prin- cess returned from Osborne on Saturday, and that the princess complained of great languor and fatigue. Nothing was thought of it, however, and the princess retired early to rest. On Sunday morning her royal highness attended divine service in the Chapel Royal in company with the prince, and in the afternoon they drove together in the park. It was on their return that her royal highness intimated her belief that on account of returning indis- position she should be unable to accompany the prince to Halifax. His royal highness at once expressed his intention to intimate his wish to the authorities of Halifax, that the ceremony of opening the town hall fixed for to- day should be postponed for a few days, believing that the presence of the princess would be the great at- traction of the royal visit. The princess at once expressed a hope that the prince would proceed to Halifax alone, and to that course his r'iyal highness, after much persuasion, assented. As soon as that decision was arrived at, a telegraphic message was despatched ts Mr John Crossley, the mayor of Halifax, stating the inability of the princess to attend, adding that the prince would be present according to the previous arrangement. The prince left London at ten o'clock, arrived at Halifax about three, and drove at once to Manor Heath, the residence of Mr Crossley, the mayor. After a few minutes' rest, the prince drove through the streets, and visited the establishment of Messrs Crossley and of Mr Akroyd. In the evening there was a dinner party at Manor Heath. On Tuesday the new Town Hall, origin- ally designed by Sir Charles Barry, was formally opened the prince. The weather was miserably wet during the early part of the day, but, as the time approached far the opening of the hall, became more favourable. After the Town Clerk ( Mr Wavell) had read the address, his royal highness delivered an appropriate speech in acknowledgment. He thanked the Halifax corporation for the part they had allowed him to take in the ceremony © f inaugurating the Town Hall, in which he saw so much to admire, not only with regard to tke design and the execution of the building, but also with respect to the way in which the cost of the structure had been met; indeed, the general prosperity of Halifax, and the industry, aided by the ingenious machinery which he had seen on the previous day, and which ingenuity had long distinguished its inhabitants, could not fail to strike every visitor with wonder and admiration. After thanking the Corporation for the good wishes they had expressed with respect to himself and the Princess of Wales, he said he felt he could not realise them better than by following the bright example which had been set him by the Queen and his beloved father. The speech was re- ceived with ringing cheers, again and again repeated, after which his royal highness emphatically said, " I declare the hall now opened!" A burst of popular enthusiasm followed upon this an- nouncement, and then the prince proceeded to the front of the balcony, looking into Princess- street, and there in the presence of the assembled thou3ands he again pronounced the opening of the new Municipal Hall. The announcement was followed by ring- ing on the part of the Sunday School children, on the platform m ar the hall. His royal highness left for Leeds a little after three o'clock, the Artillery Volunteers thundering a parting salute from the heights of Beacon Hill. After a short visit at Leeds, the prince returned to town the same evening. LORD PALMERSTON AT THE BAILORS' HOME.— The growing demand for accommodation at the Sailors' Home, near the Lon- don Docks, has rendered necessary an enlargement of the existing buildings. The managers of this most valuable institution having at length succeeded in obtaining the necessary site for adding to the home, the foundation stone was on Tuesday laid by Lord Pal- merston. The new building will provide for an enlargement of the kitchen or refreshment room, a new room te be used as a re- creation or coffee room, give a more commodious staircase, library, and reading- rooms, enlarged dormitories, giving ItiO additional beds, and providing also a number of other more convenient offices. The exterior of the new building is somewhat imposing in its style, and will certainly contrast very favourably with the wretched property in the neighbourhood. Well- street, leading from the docks to the new home was very gaily decorated with flags, and a considerable number of persons assembled in the streets and gave the Premier a hearty welcome. MARRIAGE OF LOED ALEXANDER GORDON LENNOX AND MISS TOWNELEY.— On Thursday, Aug 6, the marriage of Lord Alexan- der Gordon Lennox, third surviving son of the late Duke of Rich- mond, and Miss Emily Frances Towneley, second daughter of Colonel Charles and Lady Caroline Towneley, was solemnised ac- cording to the rites of the Roman Catholic Church, at the Church of the Assumption ( formerly known as the chapel of the Bavarian Embassy), in Warwick- street, Regent- street, and subsequently at St George's, Hanover- square. THE ALLEGED CAPTURE OF NANA SAHIB.— By intelligence just received from India it would appear that there are strong grounds for believing that the infamous Nana Sahib has at last fallen into our hands. A telegram was received in Bom- bay on the 3d July from Deesa, announcing his capture at A; mere on the 22d June. Ajmere ( says the Bombay Gazette'). is the capital of Rajpootana, a place of great wealth, a hot- bed of disaffection and disloyalty, and just the place which Nana Sahib would be most likely to resort if it were net for the proximity of the important military- station of Nusseera- bad. This station is but fifteen miles from Ajmere, and is garri- soned by Bombay, although civilly under Bengal. Major David- son is the political agent at Ajmere, and there is a detachment of Her Majesty's 28th Regiment there. It is stated that Nana Sahib was tracked to this place by two Bombay detectives, acting under the instructions of Mr Forjett, acting commissioner of police, Bombay ; that the detectives traced a companion of the Nana's from the Deccan to Bikaneer, and that the Nana was found there a guest of the Bikaneer Rajah ; that he was allowed to depart thence to Ajmere and there denounced, his trackers having joined him on the road and introduced themselves as agents from a neighbouring durbar. THE EGJIONT CASE.— The Egmont case has been arranged, It is understood that Sir Lionel Darrell and the other plaintiffs are to receive £ 125,000 in lieu of the estates devised by the will in dis- pute, and that Lord Egmont is to pay all costs. Mr. Justice Keogh expressed his satisfaction at the arrangement. SUICIDE AT KINGSTOWN.— A melancholy case of suicide occurred at Kingstown on Sunday evening. A retired military gentleman — Captain Sarturus, formerly of the 11th Hussars— who has been for some years deranged, broke from his attendants, and flung himself, in a state of nudity, from a turret of his residence, a height of about forty feet. He was taken up insensible, having sustained some frightful injuries about the head. He lingered, until Tuesday morning, when he expired at an early hour. Although very excitable, he was permitted by his relatives to go at large, accompanied by two attendants. Some time ago he caused great disturbance in a place of worship in Kingstown. His insanity is said to have been the result of an accident in the hunting field. lie has left a fortune of £ 4,000 per annum. THE ALEXANDRA PARK.— We understand that the Exhibition building of 1862, altered and improved in design, is to be re- erected in the Alexandra- park. The directors have entered into the necessary arrangements with Messrs Kelk and Lucas, BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 9, 1863. DRIFFIELD AND EAST RIDING AGRI- CULTURAL SOCIETY. [ From the Alalton Messenger. \ The tenth exhibition in connection with the above association was held at Driffield on Friday, the 31st ult, and if ever the friends and supporters of this society had reason to be satisfied • with the result of the exertions of Mr Kirbjr, the secretary, and the indefatigable committee, it was on this occasion. It was thought that the meeting © f last year could not be surpassed, but all who witnessed the show of last week must admit that, if they entertained such an opinion, they were grievously mistaken. About £ 400 were offered in premiums at this show, viz, up- wards of £ 370 by the society, and a £ 25 silver cup by the presi- dent— Lord Londesborough— who not only takes a deep interest in agriculture, but in everything that pertains to the welfare of the human family. The locality of the show was the same as last year, the two fields used for the purpose being in Shady- lane; and the weather being most favourable, the influx of visitors by railway and other modes of conveyance was unprecedented, and, as several banners in the streets indicated, they all received from the inhabitants of Driffield a most hearty " welcome.'' During the first seven years of the society's existence the average num- ber of entries was less than 600. In 1861 they amounted to 892, in 1862 to 937, and in 1863 to 1,003. The cattle were never finer at any previous show of the society, the bulls and cows in particular. The sheep embraced some very superior animals, and which found numerous admirers, Mr Borton taking first and second prize for all- aged rams, and came second to Mr E. Riley, of Kiplin Coates, for shearling rams. The pigs were a fine lot— they constituted the cream af the porcine tribe. This brings us to the Horses, which were, without exception, the finest and best lot ever brought together in the East Biding; but those which formed the greatest attraction were the hunters— mare or gelding of any age— for the £ 20 prize. Out of the extraordinary number of fifty- two entries, forty entered the ring; and we may safely say that the Driffield show this year can boast of having the best lot of good- looking hunters exhibited in one ring ever put together at any previous show in England. There was scarcely a moderate horse in the lot. The judges must have found it no easy task to select the best, and more particularly to please every one, as there are many different opinions of hunters. On their first inspection —^ those that appeared to attract their attention the most were Mowthorpe, 5 years old, by King Caradoc, the property of Mr Digby Cay ley ; Mr Musgrave's Overplus, by Augur ; Mr Ford Newton's chesnut gelding, 5 years, by British Yeoman; his grey gelding, 6 years old, by Arthur; also his brown gelding, 7 years old, by Sir Hercules; Mr Arthur Harrison's St Clair, 5 years, by Augur; Mr Hall's Blondin, 5 years, by Clumsy; Mr G. Holmes's Sir George, 6 years, by Orpheus, dam by Record ; and his chesnut gelding, 4 years, by King Caradoc; Mr Thomas Hopper's brown gelding, 5 years, by King Dan; Sir George Strickland's Adonis, 5 years, by Orpheus; Mr Simpson's Bed Eobin, 8 years, byEra ; Mr W. H. Clark's chesnut gelding, 4 years, by Iron Duke ; also his bay gelding, 3 years, by Sprig of Shille- lagh ; Mr William Lovel's brown gelding, 4 years, by Maroon ; Mr Hall's Otho, 5 years, by Wild Hero ; Mr Thomas Dawson's Eoslyn, 5 years, by Bonnie Scotland; Mr Richard Botterill's Elfrida, 5 years, bv Canute; also his Emerald Isle, 6 years, by Mameluke ; and Mr John Botterill's Duchess, 4 years, by Iron Duke— thus reducing the lot to one half. On their second in- spection they selected out of. the above Mowthorpe, Mr Ford Newton's chesnut gelding, by British Yeoman; Overplus, Sir George, Blondin, Mr Clark's bay gelding by Sprig of Shillelagh, and Mr William Lovell's br g by Maroon ; out of this lot they turned out the two latter, thus leaving Mr Holmes, Mr Cayley, Mr Musgrave, Mr F. Newton, and Mr Clark in possession of the field. The judges appeared to have great difficulty in arriving at which they considered the best; they took a long time to decide, land had this lot run down several times, when, ultimate!}', the white ribbon was given to Mr John Musgrave's chesnut gelding, Overplus, 5 years, by Augur, dam by Robinson. The winner won the prize at Driffield as a foal, again as a yearling, also at two years old ; at three years old he won the cup given by Lord Londesborough, at the All England Bhow at Leeds, beating 23 others; last year he was not shown, and this is his first appearance this season. Mr Newton's horse was highly commended on this occasion. Mr Holmes's Sir George is a fine galloping, sporting- looking horse, with a deal of quality— in fact, thorough bred— but the judges thought his action rather high. Of Mr Cayley's Mowthorpe, we need not say more than that Mr Percival, one of the judges, has, since the show, bought him for a long price. Mr Clark's three year old gelding was commended; he looks like growing into a valuable horse— in fact, we believe the j udges commended the whole class. Mr Ford Newton sold his brown gelding, by Sir Hercules, and his grey gelding, by Arthur, in the field, as we understand for very long prices. Mr Holmes refused a long price for Sir George, thus showing what a famous market these exhibitions are for hunters. For the silver cup, value £ 25, given by the president, lord Londesborough, for four year old hunting mares or geldings, there were twenty- three entries, all of which put in an appear- ance; these were also an extraordinary good- looking lot. The prize was awarded to Mr C. H. Clark's chesnut gelding, by Iron Duke; Mr W. Lovell's brown gelding, by Maroon, being highly com- mended. Mr Holmes's chesnut gelding by King Caradoc, lost the prize through nothing but his action, as he could not be made to move properly. Sir Geo. Strickland's. Tiger, by Codrington was a great fancy of ours, and although he did not win this cup, we fully expect to hear of his winning some cups of more value over Thirsk, Catterick, & c. Mr Robson's Sir Michael took the eye of the public very much. Amongst the young horses we may men- tion the first and second in the class for three year old hunters as being particularly worthy of notice, the first also won at Yedingham. They were sold by Mr Cordiner of Heslerton to Mr William Johnson, the day after the Yedingham show. This is certainly the most successful meeting in every respect this society has ever held. It was calculated there were above 8,000 people present; amongst whom was the noble pre- sident, Lord Londesborough, supported by Lord Hotham, Admiral Duncombe, Sir Tatton Sykes, Bart, Mr Christopher Sykes, and most of the aristocracy and farmers of the riding. With respect to the hunters we may use the term " grand," for horsemen who have been exhibitors for more than thirty years assert that they never before beheld such a display of symmetry, at the same time blended with so much bone, and it is very probable such may never be seen again. This display may, in a great measure, be attributed to the noble president, for, from what we can learn, some of the horses were bought on purpose for exhibition here. THE HORSE AND HOUND REDCAR. SHOW AT HIGHLAND AND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY'S SHOW AT KELSO. — The annual show of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Bcotland, merged last year in the Royal Agricultural Society's Bhow at Bat. tersea, was opened on Tuesday, Aug 4, in Springfield Park, on the property of Sir George Douglas, bounded on two sides by the Tweed and Teviot, which unite their streams a little above Kelso Bridge. The last show of the society held at Kelso was in 18- 32, since which period the society's shows have reached very much greater dimensions, especially as regards implements, which had little or no place at the earlier shows. On the present occasion no prizes were given for implements, the exhibitors themselves being desirous that they should be discontinued, be- lieving that the inspection or hasty trials made in the show- yard afforded no proper criterion of the merits of the different articles. Eeservation was made in the case of articles entered as new in- ventions, but out of 1,100 entries only 12 were classed as inven- tions or radical improvements, and after a careful examination was made of these it was resolved to make no awards. The exhi- bition of stock was not so large as at some recent shows, but it was highly satisfactory in nearly all classes. Of horses there was an excellent display, and the famed Clydesdale breed was repre- sented by good specimens in all the sections. In the thorough and half- bred classes there were also some fine animals shown. Of the cattle, the shorthorns and Ayrshires were the most nu- merous, there being over 60 entries in the one and 90 in the other. A three years and a half old shorthorn bull, belonging to Mr Stirling, M. P., took the first premium in its class. In Ayr- shires the Duke of Hamilton's herd took a large share of the prizes. In the polled breeds there was a limited but very ex- cellent show; the Angus heifers of the Earl of Southesk and the Galloway heifers of the Duke of Buccleuch being among the finest specimens of these much appreciated breeds of black cattle. There was a fair though not large show of the picturesque High- land stock, and Rosa Bonheur would have found in the showyard some admirable subjects of her vivid portraitures of this mountain breed. The fat Highland oxen, especially those shown by the X> uke of Athole and the Duke of Sutherland, were probably still finer specimens thanjthe breeding stock. Of the sheep, the Leices- ter formed the largest and probably the best display; but the Cheviots, the native Border sheep, and the blackfaced or Highland sheep were also represented by many of the finest specimens of their kind. Of Southdowns there was a very limited display. In swine and poultry there was a fair but not aa extensive show. The number of prizes taken by titled exhibitors, especially by those of ducal rank, was a singular circumstance in connection with the present show. The Dukes of Buccleuch, Hamilton, and Athole and the Earl of Southesk were all large prize- takers, and the Dukes of Montrose and Sutherland also appeared in the pre- mium list; and, taking into account the fact that the judges are kept in ignorance of the exhibitors' names till their awards are made, the result affords proof of the great interest taken by the higher Scottish nobility in this department of agriculture. The landowners and the practical farmers might almost be said to have fairly divided the awards, at least in the classes of horses and cattle; in the awards for sheep the latter had a decided pre- ponderance. YOBKSHIEE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.— This society, whieh ranks second to the Royal, held its annual meeting at Bouth Btockton- on- Tees this week. The show was opened on Tuesday, and closed on Friday. The entries were in number below for- mer years, but in quality decidedly superior. There wrere 76 of cattle, 79 of sheep, 63 of pigs, 203 of horses, 170 of poultry, four of wool, one of flax, nearly 1,200 of implements. The prize- money amounted to over £ 1,000 ; £ 2- 50 being devoted exclusively to implements. On Tuesday there was a trial of steam cultiva- tors and reaping machines. Fowler's were the only steam culti- vators on the ground, and they obtained two prizes of £ 50 each. There were eight reaping machines— Samuelson's, Wood's, Bam- let's, Kearsley's, Picksley, Sims and Go's, Brigham aud Bicker- ton's, Burgess and Key's, and Busby's. Bamlet's was declared the best; Kearsley's the second best. The 1,200 implements were represented by 108 stands, which included the most celebrated makers in the kingdom. The shorthorn cattle was a finer col- lection, perhaps, than has ever before been brought together. The principal prizes awarded were as follows :— Best aged bull, Mr J. Chariesworth's ( Hadfield, Dewsbury) General Murat; 2d, Earl Zetland's Saville. Best two year old bull, Colonel Towneley's Eoyal Butterfly 11th ; 2d, Mr J. R. Middleborough's ( South Mil- ford). Best yearling bull, Mr R. Gell's ( Grimston, Yorkshire) Master Goldschmidt; 2d, Lady Pigot's Prince Victor. Best bull calf, Mr Booth's ( Warlaby) ; 2d, Colonel Towneley's. Best aged cow, Mr Booth's Queen of the Ocean; 2d, Mr Booth's Soldier's Bride, which beat Lady Pigot's Pride of Southwick and Colonel Towneley's Rose of Lancashire. Best two year old heifer, Lady Pigot's Rosedale; 2d, Mr Booth's Queen of the May 2d. Best yearling heifer, Colonel Towneley's Frederick Farewell. Best heifer calf, Colonel Towneley's. The attendance at the show suffered in consequence of the greater attraction caused by the presence of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales at Ripon. The council determined, at their annual meet- ing, which was held on the show ground on Wednesday, Aug 5, that next year's show shall be held at Howden. Beverley also wanted it, but lacked friends in its behalf. The dinner of the society was held in a large pavilion on Wednesday, Aug 5. Earl Cathcart presided, and was supported by Mr J. D. Dent, M. P., and B. T. Woodd, M. P. BALE OF SIR TATTON SYKES'S RAMS.— On Tuesday the pure- bred Leicester rams forming the celebrated flock of the late Sir Tatton Sykes were all brought under the hammer of the Messrs Boulton, at Sledmere Castle, the Yorkshire residence of the de- ceased baronet. For a period of 70 years Sir Tatton devoted great care and attention to the breeding and selection of his sheep ( which were descended principally from the flocks of Messrs Buckley, Stone, Pawlett, and Burgess), and. as may beimagined, • the sale attracted visitors and buyers from all parts of the country, * Hnost of the names famous in agricultural matters being present. The general attendance was large in the extreme, although the rain fell in torrents in the early part of the day. A number of fat shorn- horns were first disposed of, which were readily bought at something over average market prices. The ram sale was then proceeded with. The chief purchasers were Sir George Btrickland; Mr Dayrell, Ayton; Mr Chick, Whitwell; Mr Henderson, Darlington; Lord Berners; Mr D. Twyers, Hambleton Hall; Mr Brand, Salton ; Mr Dent, Ribston Park; Mr Hill, Thornton; Mr G. Lane Fox; Mr Wright, Ogleforth Hall; Mr Rowley, Thorpeby; Mr Redmore, Exeter; the Earl of Carlisle; Mr James Hall, Scarborough, Beverley, & c, all names well known in stock breeding circles. In addition to these, many Yorkshire farmers possessed themselves of particular rams. The highest price realised was for a three- shear, which was knocked down for 61 guineas to Mr James Hall. The most esteemed shearling was eventually sold to Mr Wright, of Ogleforth Hall, for 31| guineas. The shearling rams sold numbered 46, which realised an average price of £ 10; 25 two- shear sheep averaged £ 9 19s; 25 three- shear sheep averaged £ 10 8s, and 16 four and five- shear sheep averaged £ 12 each. Only eight sheep were returned unsold; and the total return of the 112 rams sold nearly reached £ 1,200. The sale, on the whole, was considered satisfactory, although the weather might operate unfavourably. The ewes and other sheep, together with the entire stud— one of the largest in the kingdom— will be sold in September. UNSAFE GEATINGS.— A coachsmith, named Gaudy, on Thurs- day recovered £ 50 damages from Mr Jubber, of Long's Hotel, for having placed an unsafe grating in front of a house belonging to him in Leigh- street, Burton- crescent, whereby his wife seriously injured her leg, which slipped between the bars. The grating that was complained of was produced in court, and the jury in the course of the case expressed their opinion that it was not only dangerous as regarded the space between the bars, but also on ac- count of some of the bars being loose in the sockets, and liable to be pushed asunder a considerable distance. On that self- same last day of July, when the now famous Cleveland Bociety held its meeting at Eedcar, there was a similar | gathering at Driffield; by no means an uncommon occurrence at Yorkshire, where, at this season of the year, agricultural shows are as thick as blackberries a little later on. But Driffield w ag this year quite as celebrated in its way as Redcap; Lord Londes" borough's Cup, for four year olds, bringing twenty- three entries, and the open premium for hunters the unprecedented number of fifty- three with forty for the judges to pick from. Under these cir- cumstances it is not so extraordinary that the merits of the hounds and the horses at Redcar were in an inverse order of merit; and while the kennels were never previously so well represented, the stable, on the contrary, had never produced so indifferent a sample since the time when the Horse and the Hound were first associated to- gether on the prize sheet of the Ironstone Association. The occa- sion has, in fact, . become essentially a hound show, for there was nothing further to entice the stranger visitor from the wilds of Scot- land or the throngs of London. The Clevland bays, shorthorns, and pigs would have no doubt some attraction of their own in the immediate district; but even this, with the approaching meeting of the all- Yorkshire Society in the same neighbourhood, was not of the greatest, and, as we hear, it is long since the general attend- ance was less, in a paying point of view. Even the haundsmen were chiefly confined to those who had a personal interest in what was going on, and Sir David Baird and his partner, Mr Anstruther Thompson, and Major Welfit were prominent amongst the exhibitors, with Mr Duncombe now content to be a mere looker on. As we said a fortnight since the different classes embraced entries from all parts of the kingdom; with the Durham country, the Fife, the Cheshire, the Earl of Wemyss, the Cottesmore, Lord Yarborough, Lord Middleton, the Rufford, the Sinnington, the Lothians, the Cleveland, and Mr Harcourt Johnstone, all fulfilling the promises they had made, Mr Wilson, the new Master of the Vale of White Horse, being the only ab- sentee— for John Dale and his three couple never turned up. As we have so often had to record ere now, a hound show, as con- ducted in Cleveland, has worked on to something very near perfec- tion. With a separate kennel for theentry from each pack, opening on a well- arranged paddock, with a capitally laid bit of flags in the centre of it, a hound can come out and show himself in form. All this was as enjoyable as ever at Redcar, or perhaps more so, thanks to a half circle of reserved seats, facing the judges, where the privileged few, the worthy owners, and those who had really anything to do, could get rest and elbow- room during the somewhat lengthy operation of drafting and placing. The business began about half- past ten, by when the four judges, Major Fletcher, of West 8alton, N. B.; Mr Mark Milbank, Major Percy Williams, and Sir Watkin W. Wynn, had all put in an appearance— rather a strong quorum, at any rate numerically— and it certainly struck us that the customary trio would have got through their work quite as well as with the one other now added. Major Williams, who has got his step since the last meeting, was, as usual, very active, and he and Mr Mark looked a deal more at home at it than either of the new hands; Sir Watkin em- ploying himself very good- naturedly in correcting the catalogue, no sinecure by the way, for the benefit of the first circle, and Major Fletcher, if he did not say much, perhaps thought the more. They opened with the great class, very appro- priately the No. 1 on their list, the Champion Cup for the best three couple, when Martin Care, whose comic powers curi- ously belie his patronymic, brought on a sample of his new charge, the Durham county, though not with one of old Splen- dour s produce amongst them. At the last moment, moreover, one of the three couple of bitches, as originally entered, was put out, and the stallion hound Challenger substituted for her; but he spoiled the sorty character of the lot, and the Durham went back again, without having excited any great feeling in their favour. Out of a certain consideration for the ladies, the Fife, which stood as No. 2, were passed by for the nonce, and wiry, active Peter Collison was called on for the Cheshire. But Peter had managed to get a deal more flesh on his hounds than on to himself, and the general opinion was, as they tried round the flags, that they were too high in condition. Still the Cheshire made their mark with so handsome a hound as Valiant, and yet more so with the light yellow- pied brother and sister, Larkspur and Lightning, a very smart, stylish couple, with length, bone, and fashion to speak for them. The three couple. Valiant, Vulcan, and Victory, of one litter, by Vaulter out of Faithful; with Larkspur and Lightning, by Lictor out of Rarity; and Tuneful, by Sir Watkin Wynn's Grappler out of Transit, are all young hounds, and, with the exception of the one cross with the Wynstay, all of the Cheshire's own blood. Next caine the crack kennel of last year, Lord Wemyss', of which Charming had now brought two sets, so as to make quite sure of it. The first lot, however, were infinitely the better, with three of the Cup winners of last year— Gaspard, Hazard, and Rubicon— amongst them. Our old friend Hazard, a very model of style and sym- metry as he is, with his great depth, good bone, and famous loins and quarters, has still contrived to get a bit throaty, and Gaspard, more improved, and a fine slashing dog, has now the greater favour of the two, the more particularly as Hazard is said to be seen nowhere to so much advantage as on the flags. Of the other three, his dam, old Rarity, made so poor an appearance that she clearly told against the entry, where her place was a mistake. There was, indeed, a long conference as to how Lord Wemyss should come out, and whether it would be correct to shift about any of the two entries as they stood in the catalogue. Of course it was decided that this could not be permitted, though the next three couple showed some change in its make up to those at first nominated, Hotspur and Varna doing duty for Van- quisher and Lavender. Still, with the exception of Rumina, as she is written, or Rominy, as she surely should be, and who showed a deal of fashion, there was nothing so remarkable about this second sample of the Scotch kennel. They were smaller, with- out being neater than the others, and had, perhaps, been better kept at home, especially if Rominy could have been substituted for Rarity in the first division. The Cottesmore, so far as clear coats and fit condition went, showed as well as anything in the list, and were in every way a credit to their new huntsman, Charles Powell, who had got together three couple of very workmanlike dog hounds, led off by Royal, by the Belvoir Lexicon out of Lord Henry Bentinck's Roguish, a grand old dog, wearing very fresh and well, and for whom Major Welfit could find a character. Then, again, there was Statesman, a very true- made good- coloured hound, that Cooper likes well enough to use with the Duke's; while Galloper, if half as good as he looks, will be more prized by Sir John than he was by the judges. After some years fallow Will Smith has again taken the horn with the Brocklesby, and Lord Yarborough has yet one of the family for a huntsman. He brought here with him two entries of three couples each, that, like the Sibyl's volumes, would have been worth quite as much if there had not been so many of them. This was the more to be desired as the first three couple of the Brocklesby were more sorty, or, in other words, had more distinguishing character of their own and more uniformity about them than any other three couple in the cata- logue. With great power and immense bone, straight on their legs, deep in their girths and compact in their frames, these hounds showed in every way how carefully the Yarborough hound, as we hear of him in history, is still cultivated. They might be just a little " short" for modern tastes, but there was nothing looked more like real business than that first batch out, with such speci- mens as the red dog Lamtimer, or the patriarch Gambler, amongst them. The second set were by no means so true, while they had been changed about considerably since the entry was made, and the brood bitch Charity did not come out with the others, being like some of Mr. Thompson's, somewhat too wickedly inclined. Ben Morgan did not approach their worships with his customary confidence, despite the three beautiful bitches, so light, airy, and handsome, that accompanied him. Of these, moreover, Olive and Bauble had already been winners at the Cleveland shows, and the latter, from the first a grand bitch, has still gone on, whereas Olive, the belle of the Guisborough Meet- ing, has not improved so much; and her old companion, Newgate, always a clever, promising dog, is now more worthy of a place with her, though considered to pull her down in last sea- son's prize couple. On the whole the Captain, or the Major as we must now call him, did not hang over Ben's beauties so long as has been his wont, and they left the flags with an impression that a want of bone would tell against my Lord Middleton's chance for the cup. There wa3 but one more kennel to inspect, and these were the half- dozen good bitches which Captain Thompson and Turpin had brought all the way from Fife. In the first instance, one couple of dog hounds had been selected, but they were eventually put aside again for Dairymaid and Symmetry, two bitches that hardly reached to the form of the others. Three of these, Bonny Lass, Tempest, and Tragedy, Jwere wonderfully " sorty," all of the same fine cha- racter, and the other two vieing with old Bonny Lass herself for that happy union of bone and quality for which she stood so pre- eminent. It was soon seen that if the remaining couple, for Charmer was almost as good— if Symmetry had been more tho- roughly worthy of her name, or Dairymaid of a rather higher stamp, then would the cup be sure to go again to Scotland, even if Lord Wemyss was not strong enough to win it. Cer- tainly three more racing- like bitches, or a trio so full of pace, power, and blood, were seldom or never seen together, and to " crab'' the Fife one had to look for feet and ankles amongst the other young ladies, not quite so shapely as they should have been. However, in judging perhaps a last impression is as good as a first one, and the authorities had now got to the last of the class which they had been trying in all sorts of fashions; first they had the dogs of an entry out, then the bitches, and afterwards, for one general inspection, the three couple toge- ther. It still became necessary to go over some of the ground again, asd they put Collison more on the alert than ever by asking for another look at his lot, amongst which Larkspur and Lightning still distinguished themselves. Then Will Smith was requested to againjparade his first lot of dog- hounds, and formid- able indeed they showed; while Lord Wemyss' Hazard, Gaspard, and company followed them out, and the Fife were the fourth of which a second sight was deemed necessary. Over these four kennels the judges deliberated for some little time; but instead of the award being announced at once by the hoisting of the white and blue rosettes, nothing was known until the other classes had been examined, and when Mr Milbank made an awkward blunder or two in reading out the decisions. It would have been far preferable to have announced these class for class, as amongst the horses and cattle, a course which we shall here adopt:— The Best Three Couples of Foxhounds from the same kennel, of either or mixed sexes, of one or any age, but no hound to be younger than a one- season hunter, nor any older than a six- season hunter, the Champion Cup, value 20gs, to the Fife. Master : Mr J. A. Thompson. Huntsman: Fred Turpin. BONNY LASS, by Morrell's Bajazet out of Blossom. TEMPEST, by Rufford Traitor out of Fancy. CHARMER, by Rufford Flamer out of Comedy. TRAGEDY, by Rufford Traitor out of Trifle. DAIRYMAID, by Ganymede out of Dimity. SYMMETRY, by The Lothian Carver out of Sibyl ( sister to Syren). The second prize of a Silver Hunting Horn to Earl of Wemyss's. Huntsman: W. Channing. RELISH, by Highflyer out of Rally. RARITY, bv Grove Duster out of Capt P. Williams's Rompy. ROBY, by Lord H. Bentinck's Contest out of Relish. GASPARD, by Lord Middleton's Roman out of Lord Fitzwilliam's Goldfinch. HAZARD, by Lord H. Bentinck's Contest out of Rarity. RUBICON, by Hector out of Rapid. It was thought that the Cheshire were next, and that it was a very close: thing between Channing and Collison; but Lord Yarborough would be hard to beat anywhere, and we confess still to a leaning for those " Brocklesby dogs," which, when Smith gets them into a little better show form, are pretty certain to improve on their place. For the best couple of foxhound puppies of ' sixty- two, there were fourteen couple in competition, of which the Cheshire, Lord Wemyss, Lord yar- borough, and the Cleveland sent two couples each, and the Kufford, the Fife, the Cottesmore, the Sinnington, the Lothians, and Lord Middleton one couple respectively from their kennels. Of these the Fife, the Cheshire, Lord Wemyss, Lord Yarborough, and the Cottesmore were called on for a second show. As Lord Middleton's again came last in the list the judges had clearly remembered them, as the return testified:— The Best Couple of Foxhound Puppies of 1862, bred by the ex- hibitor ; first prize, Silver Tankard, to Lord Middleton. Hunts- man : Ben Morgan. NORAH, by Lord Yarborough's Nathan out of Warfare. PRIOR, by Captain P. Williams' Prior out of Caroline. Second prize of a Silver Goblet to the Cheshire. Master: The Earl of Grosvenor. Huntsman : Peter Collinson. BLUECAP, by Vaulter out of Barbara. BOUNTY, by Vaulter out of Barbara. Third prize of a Silver- mounted Hunting Whip to the Earl of Wemyss. LEXICON, by Hector out of Lawless. RINGWOOD, by Ringwood out of Victim. Fourth prize of a Pair of Spurs to the Cottesmore. Master: Sir John Trollope, Bart; Huntsman: C. Powell. CLINKER, by Statesman out of Charmer. BACHELOR, by Plunder out of Bridesmaid. Of these Lord Middleton's Norah is a very sweet bitch, but the dog scarcely good enough to carry her through, and the award was consequently somewhat of a surprise; the Cheshire Blue Cap again was single handed as good as anything, for a very fine grown handsome young dog he is; and Lord Wemyss' a capital, powerful, well- matched couple. The Cottesmore Clinker, a great bony dog, brought out Major Williams' tape, with which he was not quite so handy as heretofore, and 30j inches round was the record; the companion hound Bachelor being yet handsomer in appearance; and the four couple placed all highly commendable. AmongsttheremaindertheLothians'Rector was notequal toBounty, and even SoDgstress, a daughter of Syren, could make no stand here for the Fife; the Cleveland were lathy, overgrown puppies, and one couple of the Brocklesby, Harper and Larkspur, had nar- i row, tapering heads, that did not sort well with Lord Yarborough's type. The brood bitches only ran up to three in all, and these were taken from the three couple class, Smith showing Charity and Nightshade for the Brocklesby, and Ben Morgan Modish for Lord Middleton, being fain to confess that Languish's day was at last gone by. Another inspection settled it in this wise :— Best Brood Biteh, not less than a four season hunter, and having reared a litter of puppies in 1863, a Silver Cream Jug, value £ 5, to the Earl of Yarborough. Huntsman : W. Smith. CHARITY, by Belvoir Comus out of Flourish, 4 yrs. The stallion hound class, of which we recommended the re- establisliment last year, brought more competition, and the judges out of a dozen entries had three couple and a half for some time flourishing before them. Of these the two Royals, Lord Wemyss, and the Cottesmore, seemed to show as well as anything, the Scotch dog displaying himself to much advantage, while the Cheshire Vaulter haB great depth, and the Fife Mariner is a very wiry, stylish, " winning" sort of hound. But the judges, though they would not have them in couples, went here again for the Brocklesby, and took their best stallion, as they had their best bitch, from this renowned kennel:— Best Stallion Hound, certified to be sire of puppies, first prize Silver Pocket Flask, value £ 3, and Three Sovs, to the Earl of Yarborough. GAMBLER, by Belvoir Guider out of Purity, 6 yrs. Second prize of Two Sovs to the'Cottesmore. ROYAL, by Belvoir Lexicon out of Lord Henry Bentinck's Roguish, 5 yrs. Of these hounds we have already spoken when with their respective companies, but amongst the unnoticed there was nothing in less form than Brusher, though Mr Hill bred him, and young Christian brought him out; the only hound that Mr Harcourt Johnstone had in the entry, and this one, by his mangy look, with no business where he was. There was far more good about the Sinnington Granby that Jack Parker brought out with some pride ; and his couple of puppies were also better in their appearance ; the Cleveland, as another rough- and- ready pack, showing four or live couple from walk, the best of which, we believe, was one J asper, reared by Mr Edward Her- ring. But this was getting merely local, and the spectators, after a long morning's work, had barely patience to see the hunts- men grouped with Mr Parrington and the prize plate in the centre for a photograph. Pleasing a memento as this will be, we fear such a mea » s cannot tell as a painting would of that var- mint company of fox- killers, backed by the range of kennels, where Bonny Lass, Gaspard, and ether cannie dogs threw a note or two of triumph just to give the stalwart Turpin or reticent Will Channing more heart to face the fine folks when submitting to the trying •* operation" of having their pictures taken. The three special classes of hunting horses were but moderately filled either for numbers or merits, and there will no doubt be many better such shows in Yorkshire during the autumn. The £ 20 for the best four year old was awarded to Mr Sadleir Bruere, of Middleham, for a great growing colt— commended at Boston on the day previous— by Van Galen, a horse that ere he became famous did some service amongst half- bred mares hereabouts. Mr Eobinson, of Hutton, with three in the class, took the fiver for second with his Motley gelding, a neat, powerful little nag, whose want of size will always tell something against him in public, though he has been a frequent winner before now. With the next lot, the five year olds and upwards, the larking commenced over bushes and rails, every horse exhibited being required to jump these fences three times in succession, as a preliminary to any more deliberate inspection by the judges. Mr Booth had Beechwood in here, but as his horse was first at Boston on the Thurs- day, it was thought better to reserve him for the Great Yorkshire of the week following, or the Worcester first could have had but little difficulty in repeating his triumph nearer home, provided always, that is, he would condescend to jump in public. In his absence, far away the best looking horse was Mr Jewison's First Whip, as handsome a specimen of the bloodlike hunter as a man would wish to see. With a sweet head, fine shoulders, and good depth of girth, rare quarters, and capital thighs and hocks, the Sir Hercules chesnut is quite free from anything like coarseness, a point that might, perhaps, have ? one against him with some judges, who only hold to power with lumber. But even further, Mr Jewison's horse is a magnificent fencer, and certainly, so far as his performance at Redcar went, there was little sign or symptom of his being so difficult a horse to ride. However, the judges contrived to find his superior in Mr Batty's Vingt- un, by Motley, a strong, plain, bay gelding, with only middling shoulders, and not half as well bred to look at as his pedigree makes him, but still wonderfully well tutored to the jumping business, as Mr Batty's horses generally are. Vingt- un consequently received the £ 20, and First Whip the £ 5, an award over which the five judges were said to be unanimous, and, if so, they had their opinion pretty much to themselves; for on the face of it a falser return was never registered. Amongst the others Mr Millvain, of New- castle- upon- Tyne, sent a nice lengthy, temperate- looking one, called Romeo, and Mr Dugdale's Topthorne, by Hospodar, had also much of the makings of a hunter about him. Then young Christian covered up his scarlet frock to ride one of Lord Yar- borough's, that seemed to take a deal of holding together, and that rather dropped into his fences at first, though he improved upon this by the second or third time of asking. The companion lot of hunting mares of five years old or upwards were a very common lot, and Mr Batty's Lady Marcian, by Marcian, a great, fine, useful mare, took the first prize with a long lead of the others. The second best, Mr John Harrison's Topsy, by Pilgrim, was smaller, but a neat mare to look over and a sweet fencer; while Mr Parrington's otherwise clever mare declined to pro- pitiate the vulgar by jumping the rails, and as a consequence was put out of it, as many a good one has been before now. In truth, we are much inclined to doubt the use or policy of this lark- ing of horses over artificial fences on hard ground by way of proving them as hunters. A thoroughly made horse would probably take the bushes and then the rail just for one spin, but when you ask him to do this two or three times over, in the face of a noisy mob of people, the only wonder would be if he did not turn away. Let us take, for instance, this very mare of Mr Par- rington's, said to be a capital performer in the field, but that, utterly disgusted with this sort of thing, refuses, almost to her credit be it recorded, to play any further part in such a burlesque. " Take her away! I won't have her spoiled!" was her owner's order to his man after three or four refusals, and many an exhi- bitor might echo such a sentiment. It is, moreover, rumoured that Mr Duncombe's two horses were so much the worse for the make- believe they went through at Guisborough, when they got to real business again, that none of the Bedale horses will ever henceforth be required to jump hurdles or rails three times in succession as a warranty of their being perfect hunters. The test, too, is at times as dangerous as it is often absurd. Here at Redcar, in the five year old gelding class, Mr Parrington's servant was put upon a half broken, restive brute that threatened more than once to jump into the Stand, and did manage to get rid of his rider ; while in the next class of mares it is rarely that any- thing so thoroughly ludicrous has been witnessed as the exhi- bition of Captain Maithland's entry. Let the reader picture to himself a great, coarse, long- backed, Pickford- van sort of beast, that was sent at her fences with both spurs in her sides, her short tail in perpetual motion, and all kinds of other works in full play, and he may gather some notion of the dignity of a hunter when driven over his " jumps" three times in succession for the edi- fication of the judges, and to the delirious delight of the less dis- tinguished lookers- on. We certainly left the Redcar show ground anything but impressed with what is still, no doubt, an amazingly popular proceeding with the masses, if more after the fashion of a scene in the circle than anything else, especially with the comic brown mare, by way of relief to the otherwise grand and lofty tumbling. Rather remarkably, our own views on the subject have since been confirmed by Mr Hannam, the secretary of the great Yorkshire Agricultural Society, who informs us that one of the last resolutions passed by the council is to the effect that " no person shall, upon any pretence whatever, jump any horse exhibited at the meetings of the Yorkshire Society over any hurdle, bar, or other fence." Such a business can, at best, have but little weight with the judges, while such practice can only tend to do a hunter far more harm than good. But the announcement of the jumping in public draws, no doubt, at a shilling a head, and hence any very general reform will be a matter of some difficulty. It is only right to add that the arrangements of the show were good, and that the ground was very well kept, in fine contrast to the confusion at Guisborough. The strong staff of judges were still quite a company of themselves, including Colonel Cotton and Major Percy Williams, who went on to assist Messrs Joseph Atkinson, of Wooler; Mr Harrison, of Lindrick; and Mr John Parrington, of Brancepeth, who had been engaged during the morning over sundry other classes of roadsters and coachers. Mr Milbank was there, too, to see fair, and Sir Watkin to record where First Whip landed. Still, the show was not altogether so successful as some of the few previous anniversaries. The receipts were said to be less, the dinner was but thinly attended, and the crier duly pro- claimed on the morning after how there was plenty of cold meat on sale at reasonable terms. The fixture, as it strikes us, was ill- timed ; but whatever might have been the support received at Redcar, the Cleveland Society is coming out stronger than ever in this way, and Mr Parrington is already arranging a three couple class for 1864 which is to draw about him half the hounds- men ia England and Scotland. THE DRAMA. THE NEW WEST LONDON FANCY RABBIT SHOW The members of this club held their ninth half- yearly show on Tuesday evening, Aug 4, at Mr Deacon's, Coach and Horses, Davies- street, Oxford- street, the large room of that tavern being crowded, and the various metropolitan clubs well represented. The chairman, on opening the business of the evening, called on the secretary ( Mr H. Forder) for his report, on receiving which he said it was gratifying to him to be again enabled to congratu- late the members on the increasing prosperity of the club, and equally so to see so large a company before him. He said he need not dwell on the properties of fancy rabbits, as many before him were old fanciers, and had fully explained them. He was pleased to see so many young fanciers present, a convincing proof of the increasing interest taken in the rearing of this valuable domestic animal. After other remarks he said he believed this would prove to be the best show this club had ever had, and he hoped the members one and all would exert themselves to improve even on this, more especially as one gentleman ( a member) had promised to give a valuable silver medal to be contended for on the next show. After these remarks he called for the rabbits to be placed on the table. The judges were Messrs Durbridge, Palmer, and Holland, with assistants Porter and Pentecost, who awarded the prizes as follows :— FOR LENGTH OF EAR. LENGTH, 1. Mr Pentecost's black buck 2ifin . 2.

Mr Barge's grey & white buck, 111b 2oz. 20in . 12. Mr Burge's sooty doe, 111b 19in . There were several unsuccessful and matured rabbits also ex- hibited. After the above rabbits had been placed on the table, and the usual loyal and appropriate toasts had been proposed and duly responded to, some most excellent songs were sung, and the re- mainder of the evening spent in uninterrupted harmony. Mr Palmer very ably filled the vice- chair. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.— The season at this theatre came to a close on the lst © f this month, when " La Figlia'' was given for the second time, all the performers being every way more up to the mark than on the first representation of the opera. Mdlle Patti was in the very best possible voice and spi- rits, and received the prime honours of the evening, being encored in the ever popular " Ciascun lo dice" in the sing- ing lesson, and being summoned before her hearers no less than three times in the course of the evening. At the termi- nation of the opera the National Anthem was sung, Mdlle Patti taking the leading verses, and astonishing the house by the dis- tinctness with which she gave utterance to the words. The little ballet called " Azelia" followed, and the season of 1863 ended. It has been memorable for the production of M Gounod's " Faust" in a style and completeness not to be rivalled by any other opera house in Europe. The opera is the chef d'ceuvre of the master, and is, beyond all doubt, the one true lyrical presentment of Goethe's legend, eclipsing Spohr and the other German composers by a long way. It has thoroughly caught the ear of the town, and will take its place permanently in musical libraries as a veritable work of the highest excellence, whilst its frequent repetition in seasons to come at this house is a matter we should suppose beyond all question. The principal artistes in the performance of this fine opera have all added to their reputation by their zeal and ability; and one amongst them, M Faure, has risen to a height not easy to be surpassed by his wonderful conception and execution of a part so difficult as that of Mephistophiles ; his artistic and careful singing, coupled with the picturesque finish of his acting, will be long in the memory of the opera goer of 1863. Including " Faust," nineteen operas have been pre- sented, three of Rossini's, namely—" II Barbiere," " Guglielmo Tell," and " La Gazza Ladra;" three of Bellini's, " LaSon- nambula," " I Puritani,'' and " Norma;" three of Verdi's, " II Trovatore,'' " La Traviata," and " Rigoletto;" three of Doni- zetti's, " Don Pasquale," " L'Elisir d'Amore," and " La Figiia del Reggimento;'' three of Meyerbeer's, " Le Prophete," " Lea Huguenots," and " Roberto il Diavolo;'' one of Flotow's, " Martha:'' one of Auber's, " Masaniello;'' and one of Mozart's, " Don Giovanni." Mdlle Patti has added four new characters to her repertoire, and her voice having increased in volume, and her singing having lost none of its hi^ h finish, has been more attractive with each appearance on this stage. A new basso, M Obin, made a successful debut as Bertram, in Meyerbeer's " Roberto,'' but was only heard twice; whilst a very promising soprano, Mdlle Fioretti, who, after making a decided hit as Elvira, in " I Puritani," and subsequently appeared with great success in " Rigoletto," " La Traviata,'' and " Marca," as sud- denly vanished altogether on the announcement of her first appearance as the Princess Isabel, in " Roberto." Of a debutante, Mdlle Elvira Demi, who sang in " Marta," we will only record that she sang it on one night only, andjthen was heard of no more. Mdlle Pauline Lucca, a soprano of high merit, and in great favour in Berlin, sang three times in the " Huguenots," and will, doubtless, be heard next season in other characters. Signor Colonnese, a gentleman with a fine barytone voice, but not sufficiently cultivated for London audiences, appeared as the elder Germont, in " La Traviata," but was n © t heard in any other character. Signor Caffieri came and sang twice in " William Tell," but failed t © satisfy the ears of his audience, and was soon replaced by Signor Tamberlik. Mdlle Lustani made her first appearance as a substi- tute for Madame Didiee in the part of Azucena, and afterwards filled the sligfet character of Marta, in " Faust," very creditably. Mdlle Carlotta Patti sang four or five times in concerts, which at one time preceded, at another followed, the performance of short operas, and by the peculiar quality of her voice, and the daring facility of her execution, confirmed the go » d reports circulated con- cerning her. Signor Naudin made his debut on the first night of the season as Masaniello, and appeared on several occasions in the parts formerly allotted to Signor Mario, always singing with great carefulness, ease, and finish, occasionally being a little too demonstrative. After one season's absence Signor Ronconi came back to his English friends with all his old fund of genuine Ita- lian humour, as rich and overflowing as ever, and delighted the audience with his quaint oddities in the characters of Figaro, the Podesta, Masetto, Dr Dulcamara, and other comic lyric celebri- ties. We regret to have to notice the gradual and therefore more certain failure in the voice of Signor Mario, whose singing and acting, and we may add costuming, is still without a rival. M Costa has been as efficient, and his band as perfect as could be throughout the long season of seventy nights, and Mr Harris has directed the mise en scene with all his wonted care and attention to the minutest details. In a word, we congratulate Mr G- ye on the completion of a campaign which we trust has been as successsul to him behind as it has been before the curtain. CRYSTAL PALACE.— A recital, as it is called, of the music of M Gounod's opera of " Faust'' was given here on Wednesday, and attracted a large audience to listen to it. Mdlle Titiens's voice was heard to the greatest advantage, particularly in the famous air, " Desbijoux," in the third act, and the grand military chorus in the fourth act was most vehemently applauded and encored. The charming melodies with which the opera abounds from be- ginning to end were listened to with the greatest attention by the auditors, and the music found as many admirers in the great crystal area as it did whilst it was being performed in the two London opera houses. COLOSSEUM.— This establishment appears to be doing well, if we may judge from the crowded state it presented on Tuesday night, when a series of entertainments of the most diverse kind was the order of the night. Mr David Fisher gave an abstract from his new " At Home," called " Facts and Fancies," with capital spirit and effect; Mr George Buckland sang some lively songs before several clever dissolving views; Master Churchill Orlidge gave a fantasia on the flute; some long- named Herr con- jured marvellously, and some Neapolitan Minstrels, in true Italian costume, played airs from the never tiring " Trovatore." Besides these attractions the visitors had the panoramas of London, Paris, and Lisbon to admire, and the " Caverns" and " Swiss Cottage" and scenery to roam in at their own free will. PRINCESS'S THEATRE.— This house closed on Tuesday night, when Mdlle Stella Colas appeared for the last time as Juliet. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NAVAL AND MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. DEATH OF GENERAL JOHNOLDFIELD. K. H.— We have to record the death of the above gallant and distinguished general, which occurred at Oldfield Lawn, Sussex, on Sunday, August 2. The deceased officer, who had attained the advanced age of 74 years, entered the corps of Royal Engineers as second lieutenant, April 2, 1806, and became first lieutenant July 1 of the same year. He served in North America in 1807- 8, and 9, and became captain, May 1,1811. He next served as second in command of the en- gineer department in the Netherlands, from March to June, 1815; and as brigade- major in the corps of Royal Engineers in the Netherlands and France from March 1815, until the withdrawal of the army of occupation in December, 1818, and was present at the battle of Waterloo and capitulation of Paris. He became brevet- major July 22, 1830, and lieut- eolonel Nov 12, 1831, and was commanding Royal Engineer in Canada, from 1839 to 1843. THE VACANT COLONELCY.— The colonelcy of the 87th Regiment has been conferred on Major- General Lord W. Paulet, C. B., com- manding the South- West District. SERIOUS ACCIDENT TO THE WARSPITE.— On Thursday one of the iron- clad steam rams recently constructed at the Thames Ironworks for the Russian Government went down the river on her trial trip, preparatory to her departure for Cronstadt. It is stated that her sailing was hastened materially by orders from the Russian Government, in consequence of the diplomatic question now waiting a reply. The armour casing of the ram is incom- plete, and the remainder of the plates were shipped on board, in order to finish the casing in their own dockyard on her arrival. On nearing the offing of Woolwich Dockyard at 6: 45 in the morning, the officer of the watch on board the Marine Society's ship Warspite, Lieut- Commander Sullivan, superintendent, per- ceived that the ram was making head- way, uncontrolled, towards the Warspite's quarter, and gave an alarm to that effect. The ram was in tow of a steamtug, the Napoleon. She had her own steam up, she was totally unmanageable, and, as anticipated, ran into the Warspite's port side, striking her obliquely just abaft the fore chains, doing considerable damage, the principal part of the injury being under water. The ship has since been listed over to prevent her filling with water. The whole of the outside lining was crushed to a considerable length, the trenails knocked away, and both fore and main chains were also injured. One of her boats was also damaged. The starboard cathead of the ram was carried away, and she lost one of her anchors, whieh was after- wards recovered with the stock broken in the collision. The Warspite will have to be docked for repairs, the cost of which it is calculated will exceed £ 1,000. CHARGE OF MURDER.— At Croydon, on Wednesday, Joseph Howes was tried for the murder of his wife, Sarah itowes. It appeared that the prisoner was a labouring man, and that he arid his wife and five children occupied a back room at No. 84, Upper Ground- street, Blackfriars- road. The circumstances connected with the transaction were not established very clearly by the evidence, but according to the testimony of two women, named Chatfield and Beagin, who lodged in the same house, the prisoner came home from his work betweeu six and seven o'clock in the evening of the 16th of July, and at that time the deceased was at home, and there was very little doubt that she was the worse for liquor. Very soon after the prisoner went to his room a quarrel appeared to have taken place between him and his wife, and there were sounds as of blows and falls, and the deceased was heard to call out " Murder!" The two women referred to went up to the prisoner's room, and they saw the deceased lying upon the ground across the fender; but when they endeavoured to go into the room the prisoner closed the door against them, and said he would serve any man or woman who interfered in the same way that he had served his wife, and he at the same time made use of a foul expression to the deceased, and told her to get up, and she muttered something in reply which was inaudible. The deceased continued insensible from this time until her death, which occurred a very few hours afterwards. The prisoner had, in the interval, left the house, and he was found by a ^ police- constable named Mansfield at the Windmill public- house, close by, and upon his telling him that he must take him into custody upon the charge of murdering his wife, he replied, " It is all through drink. She drank half a pint of whiskey off at a draught. I went out to get half a pint of beer, and I saw my second child crying, and told her to tell her mother to get up, and she said she could not speak." The prisoner afterwards said, " God bless her; I would not hurt a hair of her head." Upon the body of the deceased being examined, a number of contusions were found upon her face, and there was also a slight wound upon the left temple, which, in the opinion of Mr Coppin, the surgeon, was caused by falling against the fender, and he also stated in cross- examination that several of the injuries that he observed upon the person of the deceased, and which were, undoubtedly, the cause of death, might have been caused by falls, although he at the same time said he was of opinion that they must have been caused by blows and falls conjointly. It also appeared by the medical testimony that the brain of the deceased was diseased, and presented appearances of her having been addicted to habits of intemperance. There was no doubt however, from the facts of the case, that the prisoner had been guilty of very brutal violence to the deceased.— He was convicted of Manslaughter, and sen- tenced to ten years' penal servitude. HEAVY DAMAGES AGAINST THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. — At Croydon, on Thursday, an action was brought by Mr Myers, inventor of the Caxton press, to recover damages for in- juries he received in a collision on the above line in January last. He was travelling from York to London on the 6th of that month. The train arrived safely at Nottingley, where there is a junction to Leeds, but at the moment it was passing a Leeds train came up on the junction line, and a most fearful accident occurred, the last- mentioned train dashing completely through the other, shattering one of the carriages literally to atoms, dividing the train, and driving the other carriages one upon the other. The consequence of this was that one of the passengers by the Great Northern train was killed, and the plaintiff and several others were most seriously injured. The plaintiff received a very severe cut on the head, but at first it was thought that he had not received any material in- jury, and he was enabled to render assistance to the other passen- gers ; but in the course of a short time it was found necessary to remove him to an hotel near the station, where he became insen- sible, and it was ascertained that he had sustained concussion of the brain. After a short time he was removed to his own home, and it turned out that he had received internal injuries of a serious description, and that his spine was also affected by the accident. The result of this was, according to the case for the plaintiff, that he had been unable to attend to his business as he did before, and that he had, consequently, lost a great portion of it and had suffered a very considerable pecuniary loss.— The jury awarded him £ 1,660 damages.

On the various moors surrounding the forests of Birse and the deer forest of Glentanner the coveys are both numerous and Btrong. The splendid shooting ranges in Glenesk, West Water, Lethnot, Glen of Ogil, and Glenquaich are abundantly stocked with grouse and hares. The coveys generally number from eight to ten birds, but in several cases we saw from eleven to thir- teen together. Hares are strong, and in the low grounds there appears to be an average stock ef partridges in a healthy state. The deer forests of Invermark and Glentanner, belonging re- spectively to the Earl of Dalhousie and the Marquis of Aboyne, are unusually well stocked with deer, which are in first- rate con- dition. We hear of similar accounts from the moors and forests in the neighbourhood of Balmoral. Numbers of sportsmen, in- cluding the Earl of Dalhousie, already occupy their respective shooting lodges." SHAM ASSURANCE SOCIETY.— At Southwark, on Wednesday, John Dron, Thomas Oxford, and John Knowlden, middle- aged, respectable- looking men, surrendered before Mr Burcham, on re- mand, charged with unlawfully conspiring, with others not in custody, to defraud several poor widows and others out of divers sums of money, by promising them to insure their lives and those of their husbands and relatives in the Perseverance Life Assur- ance and Sick Fund Benefit Society, said to be established at No. 6, Mount- street, Westminster- road. Additional evidence having been given in support of the charge, Mr Burcham observed that he should certainly send the case for trial, but it would be impos- sible to complete the depositions at that late hour of the evening. He should, therefore, remand the defendants for another week, but as the case had assumed a more serious aspect he should re- quire much heavier and substantial bail. They must each find two sureties in £- 50, and enter into their own recognizances in the sum of £ 100 to appear on Wednesday next. Knowlden was bailed out by Mr Bowering, a news agent, in the Blackfriars- road, and another tradesman, but the other defendants were committed to gaol in default of sureties. LIFTED BY LIGHTNING.— There is a flagstaff on the brow of the cliff. At a quarter to ten o'clock on the Wednesday night of the storm, near this flag, Thomas Bradley, the coast guardsman from the Cuckmere station, met " in conference " John Dancer, the coast guardsman from the East Blatchington station. They were both on duty. They conversed a short time together, and John Dancer, who was about thirty- seven years of age, with a wife and three children, was sober and cheerful as usual. After the guards- men parted, amidst the thunder- storm, Thomas Bradley turned round, and by a flash of lightning saw John Dancer walking westward towards Blatchington, Early on the following morn- ing the wife of John Dancer informed the chief boatman, Mr Bennet, that her husband had not come home, and Mr. Bennet went to search for him on the cliff, while William Fost went to search on the beach under the cliff. The chief boatman found the stick and sou'- wester hat of John Dancer lying near the path only a few yards nearer the edge of a precipice; and about twenty yards west of where they were, underneath, at the bottom of the cliff, which is here about two hundred feet high, the boat- man found his body lying on the beach. He had fallen three or four yards from the bottom of the cliff, as appeared from a mark on the beach, and then had bounded or rolled four or five yards more, dying on his back with his comforter adjusted across his brow. His watch, on his left side, was uninjured and keeping good time; his tobacco- box, on his right side, was flattened. There was no trace of lightning about the body. On the cliff, though several persons, myself included, examined it carefully and re- peatedly, not the slightest mark could be discerned of a man having lost his way after being blinded or stunned, and having stumbled or fallen over. He knew the path well, having gone over it three or four times a week for the last thirteen months. White chalk stones mark it, which can be seen, as I have tested, after dark. No doubt, just at the spot where the catastrophe occurred, the ascent from the path to the precipice is not so steep as lower down, yet he would have had to ascend and go to the left to reach it, when, for safety, he had only to roll down the steep green sward on his right; there were no scratches on his fingers, such as there must have been if he had snatched or clutched at grass or chalk. There was no wind that night sufficient to take a man off his legs. The exhaustive process ef induction we have pursued preventing our believing without proof that he was confused and stumbled over, or was driven over by the wind, there remains but one imaginable explanation of his death ; that is, that he was swept over the cliff by the lightning, which carried his sou'- wester hat and stick in that direction. The lightning, upon this hypothesis, was not by its striking or burn- ing, but by its lifting power, the cause of the death of John Dancer. He was not blinded, for his eyes were open, and un- scathed. This lifting power of lightning has long been well known to students of weather wisdom.— All the Year Round. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— SIX LIVES LOST.— On Monday night a dreadful accident happened on the Lynn and Hunstanton Railway, not far from Sandringham. The train numbered about 15 carriages, containing about five or six hundred persons, and it left the now rising watering- place, Hunstanton, at about eight o'clock, another train of about the same size having left about 15 minutes before. The train, it is said, was going at a steady pace, not more than 20 miles an hour, and nothing happened till it was within three miles or so of Lynn, where a bullock, said to belong to Mr Bloomfield, of Wootton, got over the fence on to the line. It is presumed that the engine- driver either never saw it, or had not sufficient time to turn off the steam. The engine knocked it down, and, to use the graphic words of one of the men, " jumped over" the carcase, alighting on the line again. How the rest of the terrible accident occurred can hardly be described. The car- riages got off the line, and a third class carriage was run into by a first- class and broken up. Two other carriages were overturned and also smashed. About 20 persons were much injured, while six were killed on the spot. An inquest has been commenced and adjourned. Deaths: Mr Laird, of Lynn ; Mrs Palmer, of Wal- soken ; Mrs Brown, of Lynn ; Miss Clarke, of Lynn ; Mrs Clark, of Brandon; Mr Dennis, of Lynn. Injured: Miss Bartle, ® f Lynn ; Miss Jockling, of Lynn; Mrs Laird, of Lynn ; Mrs South- fate, of Lynn ; Mrs Batterham, of Lynn ; Mrs Cobb, of Lynn ; liss Cobb, of Lynn ; Mrs Adams, of Lynn ; Mr Wilkin, of Lynn; Miss Masters, of Lynn ; and Mrs Brightmore, of Lynn. THE REGENT'S PARK.— During the early part of the present season, and up to the present time, the Regent's Park, which is undoubtedly the prettiest in the metropolis, has been undergoing one of the most effective changes which have taken place in it since it was first laid out. The change consists in turning the most attractive parts of the park into beautiful garden walks, and in the " First Park," so called from its being the first division near the entrance to the Marylebone- road, the transition from what was previously a broad path, lined with trees on each side, is quite marvellous, though only one portion © f it is at present completed. The space on the left side of the First Park is divided into about forty cir- cular and parallel patches, which are neatly railed round, and, in addition to the beautiful display of flowers which have been fur- nished regardless of expense, each patch— round which paths have been formed, terminating in a large one in the middle— is beauti- fully ornamented with large vases of Bath stone. These have been supplied at an outlay of several hundred pounds, and several of them— but one large one in particular— are extremely handsome. The right side of the park is undergoing a similar change, and we believe it is intended to extend the work to the Second Park. Several other improvements have been carried out. The whole of the works are being executed under the sole direction of the Hon W. F. Cowper, ASSAULT BY A PUGILIST.— At Middlesex Sessions, on Wed- nesday, Jack Hicks was indicted for assaulting a policeman named Airs, and creating a disturbance at Cremorne Gardens. William Airs, when sworn, examined by Mr Williams, said : I am a police sergeant, 28 V. On the morning of the lst July I was on duty in Cremorne Gardens, Chelsea. My attention was called to prisoner by a gentleman, who said the prisoner had as- saulted him. I persuaded them to go on, but the prisoner would not, and a mob of people assembled. I told the prisoner that if he did not go I must see him out of the gardens. He persisted, so I laid hold of him to put him out. He was following the gen- tleman. The prisoner resisted very violently, and kicked me on the legs. I got the assistance of another constable, and the pri- soner kicked him also. We ultimately got him to the station Cross- examined by Mr Sleigh: I have got a medical certi- ficate as to the injury I received. I did not show my leg to the prisoner's solicitor. I did not see the prisoner assault the gentleman who complained to me, nor do I know where the gen- tleman is now. I will swear the prisoner kicked me, He kicked me purposely, and I am sure it was not by accident. I did not use more violence than was absolutely necessary towards him.— James Mouley, 347 V, sworn, examined by Mr M. Williams, said: I saw a number of persons assembled in the gardens. I heard the last witness tell the prisoner to leave the gardens. The prisoner refused to do so. I assisted to take him, and he kicked me twice on the shins. The prisoner was not inebriated.— Cross- examined by Mr Sleigh: I did shake the prisoner's hand ; he put out his hand to me, and I took it. He kicked me twice on the legs. I never said it was a light matter, and that I thought the magistrate would not fine him more than a crown.— Pitt Tarlton was next called, sworn, and examined by Mr Montague Wil- liams. In answer to questions put to him he said: I am an in- spector of the V division of police. I was on duty at Cremome on the night in question, the lst of July. It was the Licensed Victuallers' Fete. About half- past twelve o'clock I heard a dis- turbance, and saw the prisoner in a fighting attitude with another man. I separated them and got the other man away, and upon my return I saw the prisoner in custody.— Cross- examined by Mr Sleigh: The prisoner appeared to be very violent, but I did not see him strike anybody.— Inspector Drake, sworn, and examined by Mr Montague Williams, said: I was on duty in Cremorne Gardens on the lst July. I saw the prisoner there in a fighting attitude, and creating a great deal of disturbance at the time. I advised the prisoner not to follow the other party, as he had gone away. He was then very quiet, until his friends said something to him, when he ran after the man he left. I caught hold of him, and told Mouley and 8ergeant Airs to put him out of the gardens. I assisted part of the way in putting the prisoner out of the gardens, but I saw no assault.— Cross- examined by Mr Sleigh: I gave no evidence at the police- court.— Mr 81eigh, in a very able address for the prisoner, said he was of opinion that it was a case that ought to have been disposed of at the police- court. His client was a very respectable person, and his character was of the greatest importance to himself, for if he were convicted be would not be, in the words of the act, " a fit and proper person," and he would not get a licence.— The jury, after consultation, re- turned a verdict of Guilty of a common assault upon Sergeant Airs while in the execution of his duty.— The Assistant- Judge said he concurred in what Mr Sleigh had said in reference to the case, that it might easily have been disposed of at the police- court. He had no doubt but that it was done in the excitement of the moment, therefore he did not think it a case for imprisonment. The sentence of the court was that the prisoner pay a fine of £ 20, and find three sureties in £ 2- 5 each, and enter into his own recog- nisances in £ 80, to keep the peace to all Her Majesty's subjects for twelve months.—[ It strikes us forcibly that the heavy penalty in- flicted in this case was somewhat unwarranted by the facts, espe- cially as the learned judge characterised the case as one that should have been decided at a police court, where the heaviest penalty would have been £ 5.] MUKDER AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.— On Tuesday an inquest was held at the Buffalo's Head, Marylebone- road, on the body of a child 14 months' old, named Sarah Mitchell, or Chappell, who had been murdered by her mother by stabbing her with a dagger. It seemed her mother had cohabited with a Mr Chappell for some time, and that he was the father of the child. He made her a liberal allowance, but he was anxious to break off the connection, offering at the same time to make a liberal settlement on her. This appeared to prey on her mind, and she had been much ex- cited in consequence for some days; but Dr Cathrow, who at- tended her, did not consider her mind to be at all deranged. On Friday week the unfortunate woman, who was lodging at 108, Marylebene- road, sent her sister, who lived with her, out on an errand, and on the return of the latter she found the bedroom locked on the inside. She raised an alarm, and Dr Cathrow was sent for. He broke the panel of the door, and saw the bed satu- rated with blood, and the child, which had its head covered with a pillow, kicking with its right leg. He ran to the bed, and gave the child to the sister. He then found the mother on the floor, with a jagged wound four inches and a half in length on the left side of the neck. The jugular vein, no doubt, was divided. It was a serious wound, bleeding profusely. She had no pulse, and was perfectly blanched. She was veiy faint, but sensible. He gave her some brandy, and then had the child stripped. The clothes were covered with blood, which he at first thought was from the mother. He thought the mother might have attempted to suffocate her by her being covered by a pillow. On stripping the child he found a small clean cut wound, half an inch below the left nipple. He put on some plaster, and then attended to the mother. There was no hemorrhage afterwards from the child; but she afterwards became sick, which continued with greater or less violence until her death, which occurred about half past twelve on Sunday. Witness thought the wound was inflicted by a razor, as he found one on the bed. The vomit was of a dark colour, but not blood. Finding the child was dead, he sent to the police. He had made a post mortem examination, and the only external injury observed was the one of which he had spoken. He found the wound had passed between the fourth and fifth ribs, and there was a corre- sponding wound in the diaphgram, through which the stomach protruded. The heart was pricked on one side, and the left lung was so compressed, that on removing a portion, and placing it in water, it sank. The cause of death was exhaustion from the dis- placement of the stomach.— A verdict of wilful murder against Sarah Emily Mitchell has been returned. SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AT A CRICKET MATCH.— On Wednesday, Aug 5, Captain Stewart, of the 2d Life Guards, met with a serioas accident while engaged in a match at cricket in the barrack field at Woolwich, between the Household Brigade and the Royal Artillery. Captain Stewart, in attempting to catch a short ball from the wicket, fractured the middle finger of his left hand, which was also severely lacerated. He was taken to the Royal Artillery Infirmary, where the wounded hand was carefully at- tended to, and, being informed that amputation would be neces- sary, he was removed to London at his own request. Captain Taswell, R. A., was also severely wounded in the same match. The ball struck him with terrible force between the eyes, and for a moment it was feared that the blow was fatal. The sufferer will, it is stated, bear traces of the wound through life. Col, to | be en v H. F. Showers, prom. 108t. h: Gent Cadet T. A rrwin, from the Royal Mil Col. to be ens, v C. J.

The weather, at times showery, has not been altogether unfavourable for harvest operations. A large breadth of land has already been cleared, and, if we may judge from the samples that have been sold in the London and some of the provincial markets, the quality of the flour must be unusually good. Potatoes will be an extensive crop through- out the United Kingdom and on the Continent, and up to the present time there is scarcely a trace of the old disease t © be met witn. The country markets— at many of which samples of new Wheat and Barley have been offered— have been moderately supplied with all kinds of gram. Farmers being busy with harvest, the attendance has conse- quently been limited, and the transactions equally so, the tendency of prices being against the producer. The arrivals of English grain and Flour this week have again been very small: but the imports of foreign and American Flour have been more liberal. The attendance of buyers was scanty at Mark- lane this morning, and the demand for Wheat was sluggish, without change from Monday. The Flour trade quiet, and barrels rather lower. Barley firm, inquiry moderate. There was not much doing in Oats, and all but the best corn easier to buy. Beans and Peas were in slow request, but quotations were the same as Monday.— Essex, Kant, and Suffolk, old white, 48s to 52s; ditto, new, — s to — s; ditto, old red, 48s to fiOs; ditto, new, — s to— s; Norfolk, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire, 40s to 48s.

[ LATEST EDITION.] TEE TURF. BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S, MONDAY, AUG 3.— AS might have been anticipated after a meeting like Goodwood, the Room was fully attended tbis after- noon, and the settling appeared on the whole to go off satis- factorily, for although one or two accounts had not been sent in, it was anticipated they would be settled at Brighton on the following day. As the majority of subscribers present were anxious to catch the half- past five o'clock train to the latter place, the Room began rapidly to thin towards that time, and scarcely half a dozen bets on forthcoming events were made throughout the proceedings, and they were not of sufficient importance to call for further remark.

In another column we have alluded fully to the accident that toefel Drew while riding Pellucid in the Marine Plate, at Brigh- ton, on Tuesday last, when the mare slipped and fell, and poor Drew was taken up quite senseless, and conveyed to the Infirmary. Every attention was paid him by the medical atten- dants, but without avail, and he expired on the following evening about seven o'clock. Drew, who was about twenty- one years o age, had been in the employ of Mr Alec Taylor, at Fy field, for up wards of ten years, and fi. better lad, Mr Taylor assures us, " never existed." He was a pupil of the late Nat Flatman's, who was very fond of him. His principal master was Mr George Payne, • who, being present at the Brighton meeting, evinced much feel- ing at the untoward circumstance. He was not required to ride for that gentleman at this meeting, but having a wish, it would appear, to spend a day or two at Brighton, he asked James Goater to give him a " friendly" mount, a request Goater good- natured! y complied with. The mare is much cut and injured, but Goater expresses his determination not to take her home again under any circumstances, but either to return her to the gentleman whom he received her from some time ago, or have her destroyed. As above stated, Drew principally rode for Mr George Payne and Mr Greville, frequently, however, appearing in other colours, and it may be remembered that he rode Artless, for Sir William- son Booth, when she won the Cesarewitch after a dead heat with Caspar d. Drew was very quiet and unobtrusive in his demeanour and a careful and trustworthy jockey. An inquest was held at the County Hospital on Thursday after- noon, and the jury, after having heard the evidence of T. French, J. Grimshaw, and Loates, who rode in the race in which the acci- dent occurred, returned a verdict of " accidental death caused by a fall from a horse." The medical men stated that his death was caused by a severe fracture of the ribs, which had penetrated the lungs. He will be buried at Fyfield. The sad affair cast quite a gloom over his fellow jockeys, and as a proof of the mournful feeling it produced, we may mention that on Thursday the performances at the theatre were announced throughout the former part of the • week to be under " the patronage of the jockeys and trainers.' 1 On such occasions there is usually a large muster of them, but on Thursday not a jockey was in the house; thus, by abstaining from their wonted amusements, marking their respect for poor Drew's memory. Immediately his death was made known to his brother jockeys a wish was expressed to mark their deep regret for the loss of their youthful friend, who was cut down so suddenly from among them, and they immediately subscribed £ 50 for a monument to be erected to his memory. Many gentlemen wished to subscribe towards it, but the jockeys present, while thankful to them for their kindness, stated that they would rather carry out the arrangement among themselves. The fallowing are the names of those who subscribed en Thurs- day, and who were at the scene of the late accident: THE PAST SUSSEX AI\ TB FORTHCOMING WOLVERHAMPTON AND READING MEETINGS. The pleasant meeting at Brighton, where the Sussex sports were resumed on Tuesday last, was as successful as downright ,- side weather could make it; and the fields, in despite of the walks over on the " grand day," represented as good an average as could be expected in the month of August, and so soon after a great meeting like Goodwood. The enjoyment of the racing was, however, marred by the fatal accident that befel poor Drew ' n the second race, which was one of the results of the hardness of the ground, the turf being so barren at the turn into the straight that it was difficult for horses to keep on their legs. The Bristol Plate opened the ball, and was productive of an interesting race between the two heaviest weighted, Neophyte and Deerfoot, which merely tended to show the moderate charac- ter of their opponents, everything receiving lumps of weight from the old horse. A better lot contended for the Marine Plate, which was within an ace of falling to the lot of a second outsider, Topsy having run the favourite ( Cheerful) to a head. The latter was disappointed early in the race, and only won by downright gameness, the hill, and the different terms on which they met, causing him to take his revenge of Dolphin very easily for the " place" defeat in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, where he finished in the first flight. The Brighton Stakes could not attract more than seven starters, the lot including the first and fourth for the Goodwood Stakes ( Blackdown and Magnum Bonum), three old horses ( Umpire, Dulcibella, and Spencer), and a couple of youngsters ( Nebula and Village Belle), who were quite unable to compass the distance, although the latter, a filly by Mountain Deer out of The Belle, was made the favourite. Dulcibella made the pace pretty strong to the turn into the straight, but could get no further, being in trouble the moment she faced the hill, and Umpire having broken a stirrup leather, the issue was entirely between Spencer, Magnum Bonum, and Blackdown from the distance, the former, who ran wide of the two Goodwood Stakes' nags on the far side, having apparently the best of it until opposite the Stand ; but Blackdown and Magnum Borium setting to work in earnest he could get n ® better place than third, and the last- named, who ran " kind"' for once, and always had a shade the best of the young- ster, was adjudged the winner by a head. The question did not finish here, however, as the pair hung together so much that there was an objection made to Magnum. Bonum getting the stakes; but, as in Deerfoot's race, the judge's fiat was not interfered with. The 91b difference terms, compared with their Goodwood weights, on which the two met, was bound to bring them together; but had the course been a little longer Blaekdown must have won, and he is evidently a good horse over a distance of ground, whatever his opponents in the Goodwood Stakes may be.

Greaves has purchased Rosebud, 3 yrs, of Mr S. Hawke, and she is now trained at Pontefract, with Sledmere. Lord Portsmouth has sold Vinegar Hill, 5 yrs, for a large sum, and the horse has gone to Germany. Doncaster was struck out of the Mile Handicap at the Bibury Club Meeting, June 16, the day prior to the race. The stallion Nuncio, by Plenipotentiary, belonging to the French Government, died last week at Aurillac. GOODWOOD, 1864.— The Stewards elect for this meeting are the Earl of Winchilsea and Gerard Sturt, Esq. The Clerk of the Course informs us that King Charming was scratched for the Hartlepool Handicap on the 24th ult. Mr Naylor has b » ught The Beaver, 2 yrs, a most promising colt, and he has left Drewitt's stable for J. Godding's, Newmarket. Stanley, 4 yrs, and Warwick, 2 yrs, have been added to the list of geldings. Millionaire has been sold for £ 1,500, and he goes into T. S. Dawson's stables. We are requested to state that there will be no races at Wicklow this month. Mr Hodgman sold the filly by Adamas out of The Maid of Cadiz after she had run in the selling race at Brighton to Mr J. Night- ingall, for £ 25. The following have arrived at Eskrett's stable, Hednesford:— Drumhead, 2 yrs; Lord Zetland, 2 yrs; also Lady Chatham and brown filly by Mountain Deer, dam by Teddingtori, yearlings. Molly Carew, who met with a severe accident in returning from Winchester Race Course, is recovering, but, as we stated at the time, she will scarcely be able to run again this year. J. Gilbert, many years'head lad to J ohn Day, has been engaged by Mr Savile as private trainer, and he will take charge of the horses in training at Newmarket immediately, Ignatius, by Loyola out of Lady Emily, 2 yrs, was sold on Thursday last to Mr Rossiter, and has gone into Hadley's stables, Prestbury. We are glad to hear that Capt Haworth, who was so severely hurt while riding Roundhill in the Namur Steeple Chase a few weeks ago, is progressing favourably. ALTERATION OF FIXTURE.—- The Northallerton Meeting is ap- pointed to take place on Friday and Saturday, Oct 9 and 10, in- stead of Sept 3 and 4, as previously announced. EG HAM RACES. - It will be seen on reference to our advertising columns that several stakes at this meeting close on Thursday next, the 13th inst. Carroll, who was forced against a post at Ripon when riding Cachuca on Monday last, was enabled to ride on Wednesday at the same meeting. WARWICK SEPTEMBER RACES.— The following stakes close on Tuesday next, August 11:— The Leamington Stakes, the Welter Cup, the Castle Park Stakes, and the Warwick Cup. Mr Ridley's brown filly by Hospitality out of Bolton's dam, 2 yrs, was put up by auction on Wednesday last, after running in the Two Year Old Selling Handicap, and was knocked down to Mr Ruddock for lOgs. Trumps, 3 yrs, was sold at Brighton immediately after he had won the Biennial Stakes for 500 sovs, and after having won a 60 sovs Plate for his new owner, was sold by auction for 950gs, and goes into John Day's stable. NOTTINGHAM JULY MEETING, 1864.— The Marquis of Hastings and Lord Strathmore have consented to act as Stewards at the above meeting, and Mr Bradfield has got up a new race, to be called " The Donnington Park Stakes," for all ages, to which the Marquis liberally adds £ 50. GREAT YARMOUTH RACES.— The programme which has been issued for these races, which stand for Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept 22 and 23, comprises five events for each day, the collective amount offered being considerable. Mr J. F. Clark will act as judge, and Mr S. Clark as starter. J, Harrison, the rider of the colt by Jeremy Diddler out of Exile of Erin's dam, who met with the serious accident at Ripon on Monday last, was unconscious all day on Tuesday, but on Wednesday morning he began to rally, and is now progressing very favourably. LICHFIELD RACES.— The following stakes close on Tuesday next, the 11th inst:— The Staffordshire Stakes, the Tamworth Plate, Flying Stakes, Gold Cup, and Nursery Handicap. For full particulars see advertisement. The various improvements com- menced at this meeting, both on the course and in the Stand, are now completed. THE LADIES' STAND AT YORK.— At the suggestion of Lord Stamford, a portion of this stand has had plate glass placed in front of it. It is now completed, and has a very pretty effect. The ladies will now be screened from the bad weather, for, as our readers must recollect, at the Spring Meeting this building was almost untenable. The Prince of Wales Racing Ledger and. Turf Directory increases in interest every month, bringing out clear and sharp at a glance the doings of the two year olds in a manner so concise as to fore- shadow in some degree what they may achieve hereafter. The other information is as well arranged and digested, and the Ledger promises to realise its title as a business- like book. THE CURRAGH COURSES.— For the last six months great in- jury has been done to the courses by heavily laden carts and cars crossing them in all directions, which it would be desirable to have a stop put to by the proper authorities, as the magistrates presiding at the Newbridge petty sessions declined to convict parties for trespass on the Curragh, we believe, on the ground that it is a common. IPSWICH RACES.— The result of the late June meeting at Ipswich is a handsome balance on the right side. The question of an autumn meeting has been mooted, and wilt shortly be se- riously discussed. It is urged in favour of such a gathering that it would receive the promised support of many noblemen and gentlemen who are necessarily engaged during the sitting of Par- liament, while from the proximity of Newmarket to Ipswich, Jarge fields of horses might be relied on. there were some " good things'' in the field of eighteen, Golby's pot being the fortunate one, as Madame Walton beat Junius very easily, thanks to her light weight; but she had something in hand, and must be considered more than moderate, as Junius ran forward in the Goodwood Nursery. The Clown beat the re- mainder with all his weight, and we question whether he has many superiors of his year. In the Three Year Old Biennial the Gunner ran as great a rogue as ever, and was absolutely last to Cadeau and Avondale, Aldcroft's resolute riding of the latter only getting her home a head before Cadeau. She had been recently amiss, and had the Gunner only possessed the heart to finish his task would have been a more easy one than he had here last year. On Wednesday Cheerful displayed that he prefers a mile to six furlongs by winning the Pavilion Plate in a canter from Tippler, his opponent of the previous day, Topsy having got badly off, or she was bound, when meeting him on 81b better terms, to travel home in his company. She made up a lot of ground in the straight, and will yet do Reeves's stable a turn, as Cheerful is a better horse than his Goodwood performances would make out. Spencer cut up badly, as did also Lord Palmerston's second string, Baldwin, for neither appeared able to live the pace made by Cheerful, whom Tippler could riot give the 201b to here, although he gave him 51b additional in the Chesterfield Cup at Goodwood, and beat him many lengths for third place. It was in conse- quence of this that the Tippler was made the worst favourite of the tliree cracks for the Champagne Stakes some two hours after- wards ; but the gallop only seemed to have done him good, as he won in a common canter from Fairwater, Umpire refusing to race when the pinch came. This was undoubtedly Tippler's best form, as Fairwater looked none the worse for her Goodwood work, and before the season is over he is not unlikely to prove a match for anything of his year. The minor events were only of passing interest, the day's racing concluding with a slashing race between Gunner and Deerfoot for the Grand Stand Plate, and the former ran game enough for the nonce to just put it off. The excellent racing on the Club day fully compensated for the shortcomings on the grand day, most of the ten races being well contested, and by horses of a pretty good class. The opening lOO^ sovs plate was a hard hit for the " knowing ones," as Lady Derby looked so fldgetty that no one would have her eventually, although she opened the favourite; and yet she won all the way, Indolence running most indifferently, as did also the favourite, Columbia, who is anything but a glutton. In the Club Stakes Capt Little, on General Hess, was apparently caught napping by Mr Womb well, on Alcibiades, who beat him on the post by a head; but it might not have been policy to move on the General when it came to close quarters, as he was pretty certain to cut it after a mile and three quarters' race. The Club Plate and Claret Stakes were hollow affairs, and Cheerful in the latter case displayed a still further improvement, as Bohemia never had a chance with bim on the T. Y. C., and Doncaster, who was second, beat half a dozen opponents with the greatest ease for the last race of the day. Cachuca emerged from her retirement to cut in for the Fourth Biennial, but had no chance with Trumps, who after- wards ran for a claiming plate, and beat Zeloo with so much to spare that he was run up to the enormous price of 950 guineas at auction, a fortunate circumstance for the owner of the second, as well as the club funds, as the surplus over the claiming figure (£ 560) is divided between them. The T. Y. C. Sweepstakes was, of course, a gift for Lady Clifden, when she had to concede two year olds less weight than she did three year olds at Goodwood; and the Fifth Biennial was an equally good thing for Durham, neither of his opponents being capable of making him gallop. There was a splendid field of two year olds for the 100 sovs Plate, Clown, Coeur deLion, Sea Boy, and Rigolboche, having all distinguished themselves in public, more or less ; and the Clown running with all the worst of the weights, many thought he might get bowled over, in which idea they were mistaken, for he stalled off' Sea Boy very cleverly at last, and none of the others were within hail of him at the finish, Coeur de Lion's Derby pretensions being quite settled by the indifferent figure he cut. The Lewes Meeting is not concluded at this writing, and we must, therefore, defer any observations upon it that may be neces sary until next week. The Wolverhampton Meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday next, with Reading on Thursday and Friday, have a fair field be- fore them, there being nothing to clash with either, as the attrac- tions at Wenlock are purely local, and the programmes before us give promise of plenty of sport, the eleven already completed for Wolverhampton having fair entries and acceptances. The First Stamford Biennial has a tremendous entry of two year olds, and yet there are very few good performers in the list, only Crytheia ( 8st 111b), Cranbury ( 8st 121b), Black Friar ( 8st 121b), Woodcraft ( 8st 121b), Fisherman's Daughter ( 8st 61b), Lord Adol- phus ( 8st 61b), Lady Nichol ( 8st 91b), and Leicester ( 8st 51b) having shown the least- form; and Leicester has a suffi- cient pull in the weights to represent Lord Stamford, in the event of which he must also have our confidence. The Cleveland Cup has but- nine entries, and Fairwater is the only one suited to the two miles and a half, so that it is merely a question of the stake being tempting enough for her owner. The Patshull Stakes, a six furlong race for all ages, has all the appearance of a handicap, with the penalties and allowances, the weights now standing as under: st lb Lady Clifden .. 5.. 9 11 Qn. of Trumps. 4.. 9 9 Lord of the Manor ....... a.. 9 7 Livingstone .. 3.. 9 0 David Ann ....... 8 9 Misfortune 4 „ st lb Consternation.. 4.. 8 7 Mountain Buck3.. 8 7 liubini -. 3.. 7 12 Lufra 3.. 7 9 The Clown .... 2.. 7 3 The Little Stag. 2.. 6 10 age st lb Coverdale 2.. G 10 Flutter 2.. 5 12 Petit Olseau .. 2.. 5 12 Tell- tale 2.. 5 12 Dawdle 2.. 5 12 Attraction 2.. 5 12 It is almost too much to ask of The Clown or Little Stag, who are the best of the juveniles, to pit them against Lady Clifden at the weights, as the old mare ought to beat any two year old at three stone, and we do not believe even Livingstone to be capable of defeating her over six furlongs. The Holyoake Stakes, a mile and a half handicap, has three of Mr R. Ten Broeck's and a couple of Mr Hughes's among the six- teen subscribers, and both divisions appear so formidable on paper that very few will join issue with them. Still, Bandage liasshown some form over this distance, and Jack o'Newbury is among the turned loose lot, the pair being not at all unlikely'to comprise the actual winner. The Staffordshire Nurseryis only a half mile race, and Garotter will take some stalling off, with all the weight, Cliff's stable threatening to produce his most dangerous opponents in Wildman and Dawdle. The Enville Welter Cup Flirtation is well suited to, as it is his favourite distance, and he is not overweighted. The Wolverhampton Stakes has a fair acceptance, nearly one half of the five dozen entered declaring themselves contented with the handicap, and yet Jack o' Hearts and Joco, who carry but 6st each, have run so well since the acceptances were made that the majority will decline opposing the pair. Jack o' Hearts is meeting Magnum Bonum, now penalised 101b, on 111b better terms than in the Goodwood Stakes, which should keep the Brighton winner safe enough ; and Jack being evidently in reserve for this rich stake, he looks a good investment, as Change may be kept for the Berkshire Stakes, where he is much better treated. For the Borough Members' Plate, a half mile scramble, Lord Stamford has accepted with four, and he is certain to prove dangerous with the best of such a lot of flyers as Hesper, Livingstone, Little Lady, and Cassidia, but there is one better treated than either of them in Peignoir, if he has any form left, and his favourite course is half a mile. The Fourth Stamford Biennial, a three year old race, will not bring out Lord Clifden, and probably Borealis will remain at home also, when Trumps, Blithfield, Gladstone, Judex, and Oscar will all appear to have chances, and our vote must be for the 31b- allowed Judex. The Chillington Stakes, for two year olds, is hardly far enough for Durham ( 71b extra), and should Light ( 71b extra) put in a claim, there would be nothing to upset her, Persuasion and Cran- bury being the most trustworthy in her absence. For the Reading Meeting, which is under the management of Mr T. Marshall, there are fifteen prizes to be disputed, and those already completed have received plenty of patronage from owners of horses. The Reading Stakes, the principal two year old race, has been brought forward from the second to the first day, aud its place taken by the Abbey Stakes, a change which has been very beneficial to the latter, for it has an increased number of sub- scribers. The Reading Stakes is only half a mile spin, and thus the 51b penalised Paris, should he put in an appearance, may find himself opposed by Black Friar, Crisis, Fisherman's Daughter, and several others suited to the half mile spin ; still, he is good enough to beat all his opponents that we have seen in public over any dis- tance, to our thinking, despite the penalty ; and, being on his own ground, we cannot see why Mr Ten Broeck should not run him. The Berkshire Stakes ( Handicap) is dependent on the result of the principal event at Wolverhampton, being over the same dis- tance, and many horses having accepted for the two races ; but, whatever may be the result of the contest in the " black country,'' we expect to see Drewitt's stable very near winning, especially if Blackdown is its representative, the most difficult for him to en- counter being, perhaps, the three year old Change, who is in re- ceipt of 111b from him, and managed to run Spencer to a neck at 251b over a mile at Bath, the latter and Blackdows having met at 221b difference at Brighton, which gives Change all the best of it if he can stay. The East Hampstead Park Stakes is merely a question of Tip- pler reaching the post, as he is bound to beat both Golden Dust and Fontenoy, and the rest of his opponents are all moderate. The Nursery Plate is subject to the running for its namesake at Wolverhampton, and all we can remark is that the best form recently displayed has been that of attraction and Mail Train. The Stewards' Plate, in which Warminster is among the best in, is pretty certain to have a strong light thrown upon it at Wol- verhampton, which will also seriously influence the Thames and Whitby Handicap, if the first day's proceedings at Reading do not. The Abbey Stakes, a five furlongs race, for two year olds, Garotter is only penalised 31b for, in despite of his three victo- ries, and he was in such form at Nottingham that it will be a great difficulty for anything to lower his colours over this course, there being nothing better than Vacuna among his antagonists. BRIGHTON RACES. Stewards: Hon Admiral Rous and Earl of Stamford. Clerk of the Course: Mr H. Dorling. Hon Sec: Mr H. F. Stocken. Judge: Mr Clark. Clerk of the Scales: Mr J. Manning. Starter: Mr T. M'George. Apart from the very liberal amount of added money, this meet" ing of necessity possesses many peculiar attractions for racing men of all classes. Rarely, indeed, is it that bookmakers have the opportunity which is here afforded them of combining the " useful wilfe the agreeable'' as at Brighton, for here business and pleasure go hand in hand, and in racing " homes" this gathering is most anxiously looked forward to and eagerly welcomed, affording as it does a pleasant domestic " outing'' to the many. " Brighton, the ever gay and ever gaudy"— as the greatest novelist of the age has styled it— has rarely looked gayer than during the present week, for although the regular season has not yet commenced, the rush into the place caused it suddenly to wear a lively and bustling aspect, whilst the glorious weather that befriended the Goodwood Meeting befriended that of Brighton likewise, and the attractions of the " race week'' led to the introduction of va- rious amusements. The theatre, under the management of Mr Nye Chart, opened on the previous Saturday; the principal at- traction being " Lady Audley's Secret," arid it is but, just to say that the piece was played in a style worthy of any metropolitan theatre. Goodwood usually affords a tolerably correct insight into what the Brighton meeting is likely to turn out, and whether large fields or small fields are to be the order of the day, arid the Good- wood experience this year did not certainly point to any likelihood of a superabundance of horse flesh at Brighton, for although the ground at the latter place was as good going as might have been anticipated, and well covered with grass, it was yet sufficiently " jarring" to deter many of the " dotty'' division from putting in appearance. Taking all this into consideration, the meeting, even with regard to the equine competitors, was a success, for al- though on the second day the fields were " shy," the opening day brought out a verv fair number of runners for the various events. As already premised the weather was all favourable, and the at- tendance on Tuesday, to say the least of it, quite up to the aver- age ; indeed rarely, if ever, have we seen so brilliant an assem- blage of the fair sex as on the present occasion. Of the thirteen items extended over the two days half a dozen were appointed for Tuesday, and the racing did not commence until the comparatively late " fixture" of a quarter past two. The Bristol Plate, over the mile of that name, opened the proceedings, the top- weighted Neophyte being thought good enough to take 6 to 4 about in the face of nine other runners. Deerfoot, however, of Ipswich notoriety, beat the favourite by three parts of a length, a result that led to another attempt to disqualify " the Indian," who, it was alleged, had shut the favourite out. The stewards, however, did not consider the complaint proven, and confirmed the placing of the judge. Eight " threes and fours" contested the Marine Plate, which was rather a speculative affair, although Cheerful— formerly the property of Mr Hargreaves— was on the strength of his forward running at Goodwood last week in much esteem as first favourite, but he only brought off" the " good thing" by a head after a close contest with the little fancied Topsy. A melancholy accident occurred in this race, for Pellucid— whom Drew came to Brighton to ride on his own solicitation, as he wished as he said, " to have a day at the sea side"— slipped up at the turn into the straight, fell against the post and rails, and poor Drew was thereby struck on the head and body. He was taken up severely injured and con- veyed to the Sussex Infirmary insensible, and it was then dis- covered that not only was his " skull fractured, but his ribs were also badly fractured, and had penetrated the lungs. The mare was also much injured. This sad occurrence threw quite a gloom over the proceedings, although it was not anticipated at the time that Drew's injuries were so severe. Hedworth, who was only beaten a head by Spicebox for the Cowdray Stakes the other day at Goodwood, was backed rather freely for the Southdown Stakes, and, winning by three parts of a length, he was bought by Mr Robertson for 71 guineas, his entered price being 40 sovs. He is a wiry- looking colt, and may probably pay his way. The Brighton Stakes, although it only attracted seven horses to the post, was productive of a good deal of betting, and so strong]}' was Village Belle fancied on account of her favourable trial with Loiterer, and such was the furore to " be on," that she even- tually superseded Blackdown— high as his fame was— in the betting, and was backed freely at last at 5 to 2; Blackdowri. however, had many staunch supporters, as had also Umpire, who looked in splendid condition. Dul- eibella, too, had many adherents; nor was Magnum Bonum destitute of partisans, seeing that he was meeting Blackdown on 91b better terms to- day than he did in the Goodwood Stakes, where it was notorious he could have been much nearer the win- ner had he been persevered with at the finish. Besides, to- day he had the advantage of being piloted by H. Covey, the non- starting of The Knave having set Mr Merry's jockey at liberty. Village Belle, who certainly did not look like staying, cut a very indif- ferent figure, and finished " nowhere." Dulcibella, who, to all appearance has become slow, could not live the pace when the steam was put on to high pressure, and was instantly in trouble, while Umpire's stirrup breaking half way down the hill disposed of whatever chance he might have liad » The finish was a close affair between the plain- looking Magnum Bonum and the Goodwood Stakes winner, the latter, hanging upon Magnum Bonum up the distance, being finally beaten by a head. An ob- jection followed, it being alleged that Magnum Bonum had hung upon Blackdown, and prevented his getting up. The majority, however, who saw the race thought the contrary was the case, and the stewards, who were of the same opinion, for the second time to- day confirmed Mr Clark's verdict. No fewer than eighteen youngsters met at the post for the Nursery Stakes, several of whom were very good- looking, and many of them had been tried very satisfactorily and backed accordingly by their various admirers. Chief favouritism was awarded to Antoinette, the winner of the Two Year Old Plate at Hampton, but the winner turned up in Madame Walton, one of the comparatively few surviving scions of Fisherman in this country. The winner was bred and trained by T. Golby, and is a very compact, neat filly, though somewhat small, but with plenty of power, and may be again heard of to advantage. Her party were very sanguine about her, and backed her for a good stake at 10 to 1. The Brighton Biennial Stakes brought out a trio to compete for it, of whom Gunner's Goodwood form caused him to be a hot favourite, 6 to 4 being betted on him, neither Avondale or Cadeau being much fancied. Avondale, in fact, had been dead amiss for some time, and her trainer fancied she had not sufficiently recovered to be worth an investment, and Aldcroft had strict orders to wait until the very last before he made his effort. This he did, for the uncertain Gunner having pos^ sibly had enough of it at Goodwood, " cut it" at last, and Aldcroft just beat Cadeau by a head. Last year Gunner beat Avondale easily for this— then two year old— race, Cadeau finishing a bad third. This terminated the day's sport. In the course of the afternoon Clarior was backed for the Great Ebor Handicap at 5 and 6 to 1, and a monkey even was betted that a " selected" eight beat the field. A few bets laid later in the evening at the Ship will be found below, but we may note that, although it was announced that Mr Bacon would open the " ball room" to members of Tattersall's gratis, every morning and evening during the races, very few of the members availed themselves of the offer this evening, reserving the heavy wagering till the morrow. The racing on Wednesday was much tamer than might have been anticipated from the sport on the previous day, for of the seven items two, and these the principal ones, went off in con- secutive walks over, but the attendance was again immense, and a decided increase over that of yesterday. Of the forty- five who paid two sovs entrance for the Pavilion Plate of 100 sovs, Bristol Mile, ten went to the post, the three most fancied being Tippler, Spencer and Cheerful, and the latter cut down his opponents in a very clever manner, having made the whole of the running. Tippler, who was second, and got very indifferently off, could never well get up with the weight, liaving to give Cheerful, who carried a 61b penalty, 201b, and the latter, who is a remarkably smart colt of his year, ran even a better horse than on the pre- ceding day. The Sussex Stakes was carried off rather easily by Quadrille, who ran rather forward in the Nursery on Wednesday, and entered for 50 sovs she was sold to the Marquis of Hastings for 135 guineas. The winner, a smart little filly, goes to Dane- bury, to keep company with her former stable companion Garotter. The Ovingdean Plate, like the Pavilion Plate, brought out ten runners, and Birdlime, like Mr J. Smith's nomination in the former race, was in request, and having to receive weight from the majority, the favourite, who is a neat wiry filly, likely to improve, won easily. The Brighton Cup, as a rule, does not " take" with owners of horses, and has more than once ended in a downright failure, and although the conditions have been altered from " the winner to be claimed " at a certain price, it is still badly patronised. Fairwater and Caller Ou were on the ground, but, as only half the money was forthcoming, Mr Cart- wright scratched his mare a few minutes before the time fixed for the race, and Caller Ou, who looked well and as lively as a kitten, walked over for it. There is some talk of altering the conditions of this race by next summer, by extending the penalties to three year old performances. As it was, Caller Ou, the winner of the Doncaster St Leger in 1861, escaped a penalty, cer- tain winners in ' 62 and ' 63 only being specified. Nothing venturing to oppose the clipping French filly Fille de 1' Air, she walked over for the Biennial Stakes. !? he Champagne Stakes, although only four runners put in an appearance for it, was yet a most exciting affair, each competitor having staunch admirers, although Fairwater and Umpire were in far more request than Tippler, while Waterwitch was the worst favourite of the lot. The wagering in this race was very heavy, and Mr Ten Broeck backed his former property, Umpire, coupled with Fairwater in earnest by laying 300 to 100 twice on the pair. Possibly the defeat of Tippler in the first race had something to do with 4 to 1 being laid against him for this event, for looking at the weights carried by the lot, in a " handicap point of view,'' it appeared a real good thing for him. Umpire ran unkindly, and " shut up" immediately when called upon, while Fairwater, who looked remarkably fresh, in spite of her recent arduous per- formance at Goodwood, ran a game mare, but could not live the pace at the weights, and Tippler, who made a waiting race of it, and came for speed at the finish, won in a canter, Waterwitch a beaten off third. The Grand Stand Plate wound up the proceed- ings, and Gunner, receiving 31b of Deerfoot, just managed to beat him by a head. During the walks over ample opportunity was afforded for betting on the Ebor Handicap and St Leger, and Clarior was backed for the former event on the course, and later at night for nearly two thousand pounds. The wagering on the St Leger was also pursued somewhat briskly, and a lively scene was enacted, of which Lord Clifden was the hero, and his owner and Mr Jack- son the principal performers. The latter made an offer of ten thousand to a thousand against the horse, and Lord St Vin- cent offered to take twelve thousand to a thousand. Eventually Mr Jackson offered eleven thousand to a thousand, and this offer was accepted. The other quotations, as also the latest movements at night, will be found at the foot of the day's racing, and it will be seen that spectators did not take it " so easy'' as on the pre- vious evening, for the wagering was not only occasionally heavy but took a somewhat wide range.

Duleibella went off at score, her immediate attendants being Blackdown and Magnum Bonum on the left, closely suc- ceeded by Umpire and Spencer. At the turn Umpire ran into second place, and Village Belle for a brief space bore her colours pretty closely in the wake of Lord Coventry's horse, but she dropped back before reaching the last turn, at which point Duicibella, having shot her bolt., gave way to Blackdown and Magnum Bonum, Umpire lying next, in company with Spencer. At the half distance Magnum Bonum headed Black- down, and the two ran home together, " hugging" the rails, Spencer very wide of them being next, Magnum Bonum winning very cleverly by a head, Spencer losing second money by half a length; Dulcibella was fourth. Umpire, whose stirrup leather gave way on descending the hill, about a quarter of a xnile from home, was next, but pulling up on the post was passed by Village Belle and Nebula.

After three or four failures Maid of Cadiz filly got off in advance, closely fol- lowed by Fanatic, Southdown, Dirt Cheap, and Deerfoot for about a quarter of a mile, when the light weight dropped back, leaving Fanatic in advance. Entering the straight Neophyte drew up on the inside, and at the distance Deerfoot deprived Fanatic of the command, Neophyte from thence going on in waiting upon him. In the last few strides the latter attempted to get up, but Deerfoot hanging slightly to the left, the favourite was beaten by three quarters of a length ; bad third. Tom King was fourth, Dirt Cheap fifth, and Telscombe sixth, the Maid of Cadiz filly whipping in. On returning to scale an objection was made to Deerfoot by the rider of Neophyte on the ground of foul riding, but it was overruled.

Rounding the turn the latter slipped and fell, and Drew, as stated above, was most seriously injured. At the Stand Michel Grove was dispased of, and Cheerful in the next few strides ob- tained a slight advantage, and retaining it, after a close struggle home, won by a head, three lengths between the second and third, Keane was fourth, then came Heart of Oak and Michel Grove, side by side, Weatherspy last, pulling up.

After a long and tiresome delay, during which numberless " false starts" took place, in which Dilston, Antoinette, Attraction, Rappel, and one or two others showed conspicuously, the lot were despatched on pretty level terms, Attraction and Rappel getting off slightly in advance of Antoinette, Heart Leap. Dilston, Junius, and Bangle to the turn, whereAttraction dropped back, and Rappel was left with a slight lead. The latter, however, died away below the distance, leaving Junius in front to half way up, where Madame Walton, coming up on the outside with a rush, dispossessed Mr Bevill's colt of the command. The Clown at the same time taking third place. No further change occurred, and " Madame" ran home an easy winner by two lengths, The Clown finishing three leagths behind Junius ; Antoinette was fourth, the Jet colt fifth. Sheridan and Geduld were next close together, Dilston headed the others, the last of whom was Blight. Run in lrnin 19sec.

The Assembly Room this evening was fully attended after din- ner, speculation taking a wide range upon the St Leger. At the commencement of business some sharp firing took place anent the favourite, who, notwithstanding the strenuous support of his friends, gradually gave way under the opposition, and at last 5 to 1 in hundreds was booked about him, which odds were offered to the close. A similar demonstration was made against Queen Bertha and Avenger, each of whom receded a point, the former, however, met with a firm supporter from the North, who readily accepted the odds to win some thousands, which apparent^ cooled the courage of the layers— 100 to 15 being the latest offer. Lord Clifden, notwithstanding the confidence exhibited by his noble owner in accepting Mr Jackson's 11,000 to 1,000. did not appear to " take much by the motion," as offers of 10 to 1 to any amount were as rife as blackberries, and he left off, if anything, a worse favourite. Borealis was quietly backed at 25 to 1 to win some thousands, at the same time the champion of the Tupgill stable came to the rescue, and supported Lord Glasgow at all sorts of prices, finishing up with an offer of a " thou'' that his lordship beat Lord Clifden first past the post.

THURSDAY, AUG 6.— In order to ensure plenty of sport on the " club day," it was determined to issue a programme, contain- ing no fewer than ten items, and as the whole of the stakes filled satisfactorily, the " Brighton week'' wound up with eclat, for the racing was interesting, speculation brisk, the attendance large, and the weather still favourable Commencing at one o'clock, the sport opened with the Plate of 100 sovs, over the T. Y. C., for which Columba was deemed class enough to beat the five opposed to her, but the favourite cut up badly, and the race was carried off by Lady Derby, who wag bought in for 130 guineas. General Hess was made a* warm favourite for the Club Stakes, having only Tonio and Alcibiade to oppose him. The latter, it will be remembered, showed some form the other week at Aldershott, where, as now, having his owner up, he won the Cup; and to- day meeting the old General at a difference of 261b, he defeated him by a head, to the dismay of the layers of odds, though not. so much to the surprise of the " knowing ones," who fancied the old horse went rather short in his " preliminary." The Brighton Club Plate, which brought out a large field, was ano- ther unexpected " turn up," for the strongly fancied Lady Emma, who was backed for lots of money, was bowled over, and Atlas, whose owner went for the second, not deeming his own chance good enough to stand upon, won easily, and entered for 50 sovs, the win- ner changed hands for 105 guineas. In the Claret Stakes Mr Bevill had no difficulty in landing Cheerful, who carried a 51b penalty, an easy winner, while Bohemia— who despite the form displayed by Mr Handley's horse on the previous day, and who looked like a weight carrier to boot— was made the favourite on the strength of her Goodwood running, was the first beaten in the race. The Biennial Stakes was productive of a good deal of wagering, both Cachuca and Trumps being freely supported, although the former was not over- fancied by " her owner; she was certainly not in her old form to- day, and was beaten easily by the latter, a strong, good- looking colt, who was sold privately after the race for 500 guineas. Nothing entered for the succeeding T. Y. C. Sweepstakes had the ghost of a chance with Lady Clifden, who, carrying 71b extra as a penalty for her exemption from sale, " chopped" the moderate lot behind her, and won in a canter. Durham, too, wen the Biennial Stakes as he liked, his only opponents being Junius and La Belle Feron- nifere. Of the entered fourteen for the Two Year Old Plate, An- toinette, the Jet colt, and The Beaver— the latter of whom has been recently sold— were the only absentees, and of the others The Clown ( with whom Mr Barber declared to win) and who was carrying an 81b penalty for his former successes, was installed first favourite, and backed very freely. He had his rivals safe all the way, and won like a race- horse. The winner, who is a strapping looking colt, with great power, is by the Cure out of Golconda, by Birdcatcher, and was bred by Mr Milne, of Richmond, Yorkshire, of whom Mr Barber bought him when a yearling, together with his dam, then in foal with the now yearling colt Pantaloon, brother to The Clown. The price of the " lot'' was about 150 guineas, a rare bargain as it turned out, for Mr Barber has since had several good offers for The Clown— two to- day before his race. The Plate of 60 sovs, for all ages, " the winner to be sold for 40 sovs," was won by Trumps ( on whom 7 to 4 was betted) with the utmost ease, although his rider allowed Zeloo— who came with a tremendous rush— to get within a neck of him at the finish. The winner was put up to auction according to the conditions, and, to the astonishment of the lookers- on, was " knocked down" for 950 guineas. The Marquis of Hastings was the purchaser, and the horse accordingly goes into John Day's stable. The Plate of 50 sovs, for beaten horses, proved the good thing it looked for Doncaster after his running second to Cheerful in the Claret Stakes, and this event wound up the proceedings, which, owing to the delays at the post, did not terminate until long after the anticipated time. The latest bet- ting at night is given below. A PLATE of 100 sovs, for three year olds and upwards which have never won 100 sovs; weight for age; the winner to be sold for 120 sovs; T. Y. C.

Symphony made the run- ning, with Blanche of Lancaster and Indolence close up. After running a quarter of a mile in front Symphony retired to the rear, leaving Indolence in advance, and Keane next. At the distance Lady Derby, who had been lying off, began to draw to the front, caught her opponents at the Stand enclosure, and won easily by half a length; two lengths between the second and third. Indolence was a bad fourth. The winner was bought in for 130gs. The BRIGHTON CLUB STAKES ( Handicap) of 10 sovs each, h ft' with 100 added ; to be ridden by members of the club; New Course; 11 subs.

Tonio cut out the work some lengths in advance of the other two for about a mile, when the trio took closer order. In the bottom Tonio was beaten, and the other two ran a close race home, the General having a shade the best of it to the last few strides, when Alcibiade obtained the advantage and won by a head ; bad third.

After two or three " breakings away'' the flag fell to a very " middling" start, the favourite next the rails leading, suc- ceeded by the St Rosalia filly and Isabel to half way up the hill, where Atlas, who lost about a couple of lengths' start, caught his horses, and quitting them in a few strides, won by three lengths, the St Rosalia filly beating the favourite for second place by a head; Isabel was fourth, Mdme Tagliafico fifth, and Dictator next. The winner was sold to Mr J. Wood for 105 guineas. The CLARET STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 100 added; to be ridden by members of the club ; T. Y. C. ; 18 subs.

The favourite led, closely followed by Coronet and Neophyte, Cheerful ( last off), bringing up the rear. Bohemia was disposed of at the foot of the hill, and the opening made by her retirement was filled up by Cheerful, while Coronet compounding shortly afterwards Doncaster was left in attendance upon Cheerful, who won very easily by a length; bad third ; . Neophyte tailed off.

The latter made play, with Lord Portsmouth's filly next, and Trumps third, to half way down the hill, when The Avenger dropped back, leaving the favourite in advance. Trumps waited upon the latter to the half distance, where he de- prived her of the lead, and won by a length ; three lengths be- tween the second and third; Isabel, last throughout, tailed off. A SWEEPSTAKES of 5 sovs each, with 100 added, for all ages; weight for age: the winner to be sold for 500 sovs, or carry 71b extra ; if for 100 sovs allowed 71b ; the second received 25 sovs out of the stakes ; T.

The favourite made all the running, and won in the commonest of canters by six lengths. Wangle Eye and Hed- worth were the only two that ever got near the favourite during the contest, and both managed to obtain a place; Independence was fourth. Lady Derby and Fairy did not pass the post.

Cutaway jumped off with the lead, followed by Mother Bunch, Clown, Rigolboche, and Seaboy to the foot of the hill, where Cutaway retired, and the favourite took the command, with Seaboy in waiting, and won very cleverly by a length ; bad third, Overcast was fourth, Pelios and Coeur de Lion ( close together) next, the last three being Jennett, Mother Bunch, and Elise. A PLATE of 60 sovs, for three year olds and upwards; weight for age; to be ridden by members of the club : one mile. Mr Jno. Dawson's Trumps,; by King of Trumps, 3 yrB, 9st 101b Mr W.

The winner was sold to the Marquis of Hastings for A PLATE of 50 sovs, for beaten horses ( two year olds excepted) ; the second received 10 sovs from the fund ; gentlemen riders, professionals 6lb extra; T.

ST LEGER. 5 to 1 agst Ranger ( tk) | 7 to 1 agst Avenger ( tk) 6 to 1 Queen Bertha ( tk) | 10 to 1 Lord Clifden ( off) BETTING AT NIGHT. The attendance during the evening was very moderate, and the business transacted of a corresponding character. The Ranger appeared to have recovered from the onslaught of the previous night, and was ^ supported with much spirit at 9 to 2, and left off exceedingly firm at those odds. 10Q to 16 was offered against Queen Bertha, but without meeting with a response ; Lord Stamford's representative also did not exhibit so buoyant an appearance, 8 to 1 being the current offer, but just prier to the breaking up of the room he met with some support, which for a time stayed the stream of opposition, and he closed at a point less. Lord Clifden was the " football'' of the evening, a well known bookmaker exercising the greatest industry to lay an even hundred that he was not one of the first five, and finally offered 6 to 4 in hundreds in support of that opinion, which at once put a stop to speculation as far as he was concerned. Borealis, who was quietly " got on" during the afternoon, was in some demand, as little as 100 to 6 having been noted down, but later in the evening, in consequence of several heavy books not having been touched about her, she receded under the weight of money to 20 to 1, which up to the last was readily accepted. Of the outside division the only one backed for money was Sca- mander, about whom 50 to 1 was taken.

Stewards : The Earl of Westmoreland, Viscount St Vincent, Lord Rendlesham, and A. Donovan, Esq. Judge : Mr J. F. Clark, Newmarket. Starter: Mr T. Marshall, Northampton. Clerk of the Scales: Mr J. Manning, Newmarket. Clerk of the Course and Handicapper: Mr J. F. Verrall, Lewes. During the early part of Friday fears were entertained thaj. a damper would be thrown upon the last of the three meet- ings in Sussex, as Turfites had to take the journey from Brighten to Lewes through a regular mist, and on reaching the scene c'td operations matters did not improve, as a thin, drizzling rain gan to fall, and the wind blew great guns, threatening a per- fect hurricane. Before business commenced, however, a decided change for the better took place, the threatening clouds dispersing, and the sun coming out in all its glory; and the racing wag quite enjoyable, the sports turning out better than many antici- pated on hastily scanning the card. The course was in capital order, and the attendance of company greatly above the average so far as the enclosure was concerned, Mr V errall having mad © many improvements therein, not the least important being the building of a substantial Stand for the benefit of the stewards and their friends, beneath the balcony of which there was a* excellent weighing room, and good accommodation for the fourth estate. Of the six races on the card, the first was the Welter Cup, for which eight of the eleven " coloured" faced the starter, Antonelli, with Mr Thompson in the saddle, being made a great favourite, while Alcibiade and Little Dick came in for a good share of favour. It looked like Antonelli landing the " pot' 2 at the distance, but half way up Michel Grove, who carried a 51b penalty to obtain the services of Fordham, came with a wet sail, and he finally won rather cleverly, thus securing the " first blood" to the home stable and the fielders, the winner being but little fancied by the talent, as it was considered out of his distance. The second event, the De Warrenne Handicap, was even more success- ful than the first in the number of starters it attracted, as eleven of the fourteen left in went to the post, and after a tedious delay there, mainly caused by Juliet's bit breaking and coming out of her mouth, they got away in pretty close order. Juliet, if anything, having the worst of the start. However, East Sheen won from end to end, and fully recovered the gentlemen's losses on the Welter, as only she and Zora were backed for heavy money, and the judg- ment of the backers was displayed by their running first and second. There was another respectable field for the third race, a 100 sov plate; but Usher, who came out in the New- market July week with a great reputation, and ran third to Algarsife ( brother to Canace) for a maiden plate, was backed as though all were over, and only a very few put their faith in Cadiz, Atlas, or Attraction, the latter finally leaving off second favourite at 7 and 8 to 1. She made a sorry example, nevertheless, of all her opponents, and cantered in alone, to the dismay of those who had " plunged'' on Usher— and it was certainly very different form to that displayed by LordWestmoreland's colt at Newmarket, but suf- ficient confidence was placed in the winner's performances for her to fetch 270 guineas ( 220 sovs was her entered price) at the hammer afterwards, the Marquis of Hastings being as anxious to take her home as he was Trumps from Brighton. The Priory Stakes, the richest prize of the day, only brought out three runners, an acci- dent that befel Hengist while en route to Lewes not having been sufficiently known for the field to be swelled in consequence, the formidable nature of his pretensions being undoubtedly the cause of only three others having colours attached to their names on the card, as he ran a good second to Molly Carew at Winchester. It is a somewhat singular coincidence that Hengist should have met with a similar accident to Molly Carew, who was also engaged in this event, and severely injured herself in getting away from Winchester after beating Lord Portsmouth's colt; and more so that Eastminster, who was third to the pair there, should finally become the recipient of the rich stakes, which he did after a slashing race with Olivia ( better known as the Olitipa filly), the issue being so close that many thought the latter, who had tbe best of it until two or three strides from the chair, had upset the odds laid on Eastminster. The Borough Members' Plate caused a greater surprise than the defeat of Usher, as not only was Confidence beaten with the greatest ease, with the second favourite, Outpost, who was also made very " hot" at last, but the winner turned up in the despised Confusion, who was sold for a hack just before the race. The gentlemen had been so severely handled during the after- noon that they laid odds " to any amount" on Caller Ou for the Queen's Plate ( which concluded the day's racing in capital time), and they just landed by a head, Challoner having only brought the mare up in the last few strides, many thinking he bad waited a little too long; but Bellman, in our opinion, had more steam in him than he was given credit for, and it was evident the badness of the pace for the first half of the journey suited his powers best. There was some little betting on future events during the afternoon; but it was of no moment, tbe principal movement being an offer to take 600 to 400 that " Lord Glasgow's lot'' beat Lord Clifden in the St Leger, and the quotations ap- pended below require no further comment. The late period of the week at which the meeting was concluded, and the crowded state of our columns, precludes our entering into full details of the second day's sport until our next, all we can here remark being that the fields were very good and the weather brilliant, and the proceedings winding up in capital time with an interest- ing race for the Railway Nursery, which brought out a dozen competitors.

Little Dick made the running with Single Peeper, Antonelli and Michel Grove close up, and they ran in the order named for about a mile, when the favourite obtained a slight lead, and Alcibiade began to draw to the front. Just below the distance the latter, Antonelli, Little Dick, and Michel Grove were nearly abreast, when Fordham sent out Michel Grove, who won easily by half a length; a head between the second and third. Alcibiade was fourth, Picco fifth; the others beaten off a long way. The DE WARRENNE HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 100 added; T. Y. C. ( about five furlongs); 14 subs. MrG.

After several failures, they got away upon equal terms. East Sheen, however, immediately rushed to the front, with Zora in close attendance, Miss Living- stone lying third, and close to the latter were Lady Fanny, Lord Burleigh, and Perseverance.

Stewards : The Hon Capt R. N. Lawley, H. F. Beaumont and F. Bell, Esqs. Judge : Mr Richard Johnson, York. Starter: Mr G. Dawson. Clerk of the Course : Mr J. H. Peart. This meeting was originally intended to he held on Monday and Wednesday, as Tuesday was to have been set apart for the Prince and Princess of Wales's visit to Ripon, and as regards the racing it was to have been a blank day. On Sun- day afternoon, however, when tidings came that the royal visit was deferred until Wednesday, it was felt that some amuse- ment should be provided for the Tuesday for the numerous visitors and holiday seekers staying in the town; and the race committee, with that spirit and liberality which they have always evinced in their promotion of sport, at once adopted the suggestion made by their Clerk of the Course, and gave an additional sum of nearly £ 200 for a day's racing on the Tuesday, thus setting an example to some committees, who, though they boast of a liberal balance at their bankers, have not the heart to make use of it, as is done at Ripon. Here, too, advantage is never taken of any pretext for saving the added money, and whenever animals can' be found to run they are sure of the public money being given. For Tuesday's sport four new races were got up, viz, the Prince of Wales Cup, the Innkeepers' Plate, Visitors' Plate, and Alexandra Plate, and closed on Monday night. The Grand Stand Stake was also brought forward from Wednesday, the Clerk of the Course getting the sanction of the owners of horses engaged for the change. The meeting opened on Monday with favourable weather, and a large attendance of company. The ground, however, was very hard, which in some measure accounted for the small fields. We never saw the Ripon course so badly kept, the course clearers evidently not understanding their business. The Two Year Old Stakes brought the four entered to the post, and afforded a very elose shave between Lady of Coverham and Ostentation, so close, indeed, that the layers of the odds began to shake in their shoes, but they were relieved when the winner's number went up. The Hospitality filly was made the favourite for the Mowbray Plate, which was won by Barbara Allen, whose sale brought 9gs to the race fund. The principal race was the St Wilfrid Handicap, which was run at such a wretched pace, that Flytrap, the favourite, had no difficulty in disposing of the wretched lot which appeared! against her and winning in a canter. The Great Northern Nursery ended in favour of Ostentation, who won easily. The Studley Handicap brought the first day's sport to a close, which Lord Warwick's Calabria won in a canter, A very heavy rain having set in on Monday night, and continued for several hours, made the course better going on the second day. The weather cleared up soon after ten o'clock this morning, and con- tinued favourable during the remainder of the day. The attend- was less numerous than on the first day. The Grand Stand Stakes, which had been brought forward from the last day, opened the proceedings, but no betting took place upon it, as it looked " London to a China orange'' on Lady of Coverham, who won in the commonest of canters, Fauconberg being in the same stable, and Alice Gray very little better than a hack. The Innkeepers' Plate afforded a fine race with the first three, but the Neville filly would have won had she not run so wide at the bottom turn. The Prince of Wales Cup brought nine out of the ten entered to the post, and Captain Crow, to the surprise of his friends, who did not back him for a solitary guinea, but stood Entremet, landed the prize cleverly by a neck; how- ever, if Dixon could have ridden 5st 101b, instead of declaring 41b overweight for Found Again, the Captain's colours would have been lowered by the young one. In addition to this race, the Visitors' Plate and the Alexandra Plate ended in favour of the fielders, who must have had a better day of it than on Monday. The sport was a considerable improvement upon the first day, the fields were not only larger, but the races were more closely con- tested, the Prince of Wales Cup, the Innkeepers' Plate, and the Visitors' Plate affording three very fine races. The meeting was brought to a close on Wednesday, and in order not to interfere with the visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Ripon, the races commenced at twelve o'clock, the card containing four events. The weather was unfavourable, but the company present exceeded either of the preceding days. The Two Year Old Selling Handicap was won easily by Mr Masterman's br f by Neville out of Widgeon's dam, and brought lOgs to the fund. The Members' Plate was carried off by Flytrap, notwithstanding her penalty of 101b for winning the St Wilfrid Handicap on the first day. Lord Dundreary landed the Abbey Plate, and the City Plate brought the meeting to a elose, which Lord Warwick's Calabria won easily. The sports concluded a little before two o'clock, so as to enable the people to participate in the afternoon's throng. The Prince and Princess of Wales passed through Ripon a little before four o'clock, on their way to Btudley, on a visit to the Earl and Countess de Grey and Ripon. The following is a return of the racing:— MONDAY, AUG 3.— The Two YEAB OLD STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 25 added, for two year olds; colts 8stl01b, fillies 8st 71b; winners extra; the second saved his stake; T.

Mother Carey's Chicken was first off, followed by Fauconberg second, Ostentation third, and the favourite last; after the first two hundred yards Fauconberg took up the running, with Mather Carey's Chicken in waiting, till rounding the bottom turn, where Lady of Coverham took up the running, followed by Ostentation to the Stand, where she headed the favourite, and for a mo- ment appeared to have the best of it, but Lady of Coverham, coming again, won in the last three strides by a short head; the third was beaten nearly a dozen lengths, and finished about three lengths in advance of Fauconberg, The MOWBBAY PLATE ( Handicap) of 30 sovs, for all ages ; win- ners extra; winner to be sold for 30 sovs; T.

Boeotia jumped off with the lead, but Barbara Allen took up the running in the first two hundred yards, with Bceotia second, the Hospitality filly third, and the Neville filly, who got badly off, last. Boeotia was beaten at the distance, and the two young ones were left in attendance upon Barbara Allen; but they were unable to overhaul her, and she won very easily by three lengths; second beating the third a head, bad fourth. The winner was bought in for 39gs. The GBEAT ST WILEBID HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 50 added; the second saved his stake ; winners extra ; two miles; 22 subs Mr J.

After two or three failures they got away on good terms, Unfashionable Beauty leading, but Dick Swiveller soon rushed to the front, and was half a dozen lengths in advance at the T. Y. C. bend, where he bolted, and the hopes of Staindrop was gone. Flytrap then went on with the run- ning, held her lead to the end, andlwoninacanterby three lengths ; same between the second and third; bad fourth. Weatherwise was beaten at the last turn, and did not pass the post. Honest John cannoned against Cachuca at the Ripon turn, and the mare was driven against a post, Carroll injuring his knee, so much so that, although he had two or three good mounts at Brighton, he was not able to attend. The GBEAT NOBTHEBN NUBSEBY PLATE ( Handicap) of 70 sovs, for two year olds ; winners extra; T. Y. C. Mr C. Winteringham's b f Ostentation, by Neasham, 7st 81b.. J. Forster 1 Mr J.

Harrison was taken up in- sensible, and conveyed to the city. Betting: Even on Ostentation, 2 to 1 agst Balderstone, and 4 to 1 agst any other. Balderstone cut out the work, followed by Ostentation, Ghillie Callum, and Mantalini till rounding the bottom turn, where the favourite too k the lead, kept it to the end, and won easily by a couple of lengths : five lengths between the second and third; bad fourth. Duchess, last all the way, was tailed off. The STUDLEY PLATE ( Handicap) of 50 sovs, for all ages; win ners extra; T. Y. C.

W., Dawson Damer, Esq, M. P.; Michael Dunne, Esq, M. P.; Major H. D. Carden, Capt Croasdaile, andR. G. Crosby, Esq. Judge: R. J. Hunter, Esq. Treasurer and Hon Sec: T. Turpin, Esq. Starter : Mr M. Clancy. This sporting reunion passed off successfully on Wednesday and Thursday last, under the patronage of the Earl of Portarlington, the members of the Queen's County, and some of its leading gentry. Although the programme held out as many inducements to owners of horses as last year, yet there was a falling off in the number sent; consequently, in most instances the fields were small. One of the most interesting items on the opening day was the Ballymanus Stakes, three quarters of a mile, for two year olds, which Caroline, by Ivan out of Co- quette, won easily from half a dozen others, none of whom were thoroughly prepared, owing to the hard state of the ground for some time past, which prevented two year olds being put into strong work. Half a dozen ran for the Queen's County Stakes, which were landed by Woodman, very easily. On the second day, the Emo Park Stakes fell to Spring Daisy, by Artillery, who defeated Dhu Regan cleverly in two heats. There was a great race between Margrave and Woodman for the Heath Stakes, and the latter, running the longest under pressure, won cleverly. The Scurry Corinthians and Ladies' Purse were each well contested, and were won in good style by Capt Muchell's Little Nelly, which brought the racing at the Heath of Maryborough to a close for this season. The secretary and other officials performed their part well, and if there were not large fields to contend for the events, it was not the fault of the committee, the acting members of which exerted themselves to bring eff the meeting w ith eclat. WEDNESDAY, AUG 5.— The COUNTY PLATE of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, for Queen's County bred horses, & c; weight for age; 3lb allowed; once round the course; heats, about two miles.

When the flag fell Bacchus and Wa- terloo raced away together, followed by Rifle, Clarina, and the others, who got a bad start, but saon recovered their lost ground. As they rounded the lower turn and faced for home Bacchus held the lead, with Waterloo, Caroline, Clarence, and Rifle in close company, the others going on outpaced. Near home Bacchus was challenged, and gave way to Caroline, Waterloo, and Cla- rence, who ran a fine race home, which the former won by half a length; a neck between second and third ; Rifle finished fourth, and Bacchus fifth.

This race was run off during heavy rain and mist. Margrave cut out the work at a good pace, with Woodman at his quarters, and after the first quarter of a mile the race was reduced to a match between the pair, a tremendous struggle ending in favour of Woodman by half a neck ; Outcast was a very bad third, the Gun fourth, and Claddagh last. Before the flag fell Claddagh and Armstrong's Gun broke away and ran the course, which extinguished any chance they might have had.

Eddie, Esqs. Judge: Mr R. Smart. Starter: Mr J. Boston. Clerk of the Course: J. Watson. A beautiful warm day marked the opening of the Airarie meeting, but the extreme paucity of entries for the plates which closed on the previous night, as well as, indeed, the total ab- sence of horses from the south, rendered the sports almost void of interest, and caused no little disappointment to the shoals of visitors who flocked into the " little town" from all quarters " to see the races,'' the postponement of the Ripon meeting having, at all events, prevented several of those " intended" for Airdrie getting so far north in time to take part in the proceedings. It is to be hoped that the committee will next year fix a more con- venient season for their festivities, and endeavour, by increasing the value of the stakes, to induce a liberal importation from the stables in the North of England.

SUMMER FISHING. " There's a sultry cloud that now doth shroud The sof c declining sun; There's a rippling stream on which her beam Shall fall ere her course be run. Ere that cloud be past, or the sun be set, We will seek the mead with rod and net; For it is not when the toil- worn men Hie to their noontide meal That our tiies should quest the water's breast, Or we wind our fish- strained reel; But it is when the shades of evening rise That the angler must cast his curious flies." The above lines appear to me very apropos to the present fishing season. JAngling at mid day is certainly not very productive. " But it is when the shades of evening rise" that we must " cast our curious flies.'' There are, however, one or two modes of fishing for trout by which you may kill a good fish, or two, aye, and a good basket, even on the brightest days and finest low water. You can do so by using the worm, the minnow, or dapping with various kinds of flies and grubs. A minnow spun down stream will kill well in very bright sun, and, in fact, I have seen trout run better at the mmnow on days when the sun was beaming in all its midsummer fierceness tlian at any other time. You must wade, • walk up the river, and spin before you every bit of water, no matter how shallow. Trout, and large ones, will at such times lie in • water that will hardly cover the dorsal fin. Cast your minnow up the stream, and spin down to, butnever^ asi, whereyouarestanding. You may commence fishing about half- past four, and fish until sunset. After that time I think the fly the best of all lures for trout; the white or grey moths are my favourite, but many prefer a dark brown moth, and even a black. Fisiiwith the " coaoainan" from sun- set until the shades of evening begin to darken the waters ; then take to the moth, and you may fish until eleven or twelve. If the night is mild, and there is not much dew on the grass, you will, with luck, kill the finest fish of the stream. There is some alteration in the trout flies since I last wrote on the subject. The " orange fly" is an excellent fly, and if the day is dark, with fine rain, tue orange fly will kill very well, particularly in the afternoon. It is made— body : orange silk ; wings : featuer from an old starling's wing ( the dark part); legs: nearly black hackle. But the very best ef all flies used at this season is the cinnamon; he may be made large or small, according to the water or the state of the weather. Should the day be wet with strong wind the fly may be made full- sized, but in fine and bright water make it small. It is made— body : lightish yellow, or rather fawn- coloured silk; wings : the dark fibres of an old landrail's wing feather; legs: ginger hackle. There is no month in the year during which the angler's bill of fare is so full; almost every fish we have in our rivers and lakes is now in season. Trout, both fresh water and sea, are in magnificent order, but it takes a deal of artful fishing to capture the sly old rascals. That sporting fish, the grayling, is now getting into condition, and the orange fly is about as good a fly as you can throw over him. I don't know a better river for grayling fishing within a moderate Teach of London, or one where the tourist angler in search of a " bit of fishing" can hang up his hat with a better chance of suc- cess than the Avon, Hants, making Fordingbridge his head quar- ters. In the river are trout, grayling, and large pike, and such roach as are seldom seen. There is a very good hotel— the Star- in the town, and by staying there the angler will be able to fish a very considerable reach of the river gratis. I mention this river as a grayling river, as I have received several letters requesting me to point out where grayling fishing can be found. There are many other rivers which contain grayling in England and Wales, but 1 have never seen them in any of the rivers of either Scotland or Ireland. Grayling are found in the Avon, Itchen, and Test, Hants; in Staffordshire and Derbyshire, the Dove, the Wye, the Blythe, hold grayling ; in Yorkshire, the Kibble, the Derwent, the Rye, the Humber, Wharpe, and Ure, are all grayling waters. The Trent is a fine grayling river, and Nottingham the best head quarters. There are now a few grayling in the Thames, which anglers, if they are wise, will not med- dle with. Should you by chance hook a grayling it will be well to extract your hook from his mouth with all care, and return him to the water— in a year or two you will reap the benefit. It is full early for grayling fishing, but still this fish is now in very fair condition in most waters; he is, however, an " autumn and winter fish; in fact, when trout " go out" grayling " come in." I think it is a pity this fish is not introduced into more of our English and Welsh rivers. I know many where grayling would breed and thrive well. It is not every river that will suit the grayling, and there is much prejudice against stock- ing a trout river with this fish, as it is supposed that grayling destroy the trout. I would never put grayling in a small trout stream, but in a large river, where there is ample space and food for both fish, I would most certainly introduce him; for he is a most game fish, showing capital sport, and when killed he is only second to the trout, in the estimation of gourmands, and some even go so far as to prefer him. Though, supposing that grayling do destroy some few trout, they give you a good return, for they are capital breeders in rivers which suit them, and they come into condition for the table and give you sport when trout are out of season. The waters best suited for grayling to breed in are a succession of deep pools and rapid shallows. The fish like to lie in a long, Still, deep, slow running reach, with a gravelly bottom, and banks of rich earth; a shallow rapid above and below. He feeds al- most altogether on larva; and flies, and will seldom take any sort of small fish, so that I do not consider he is so destructive to trout or any fish, as many other fish. The only time he is destructive is when the ova is in the spawning beds, and then it is a prey to almost every fish, the trout itself not excepted. I have made these few remarks on grayling in answer to some correspondents. I will now answer a few of the very many questions asked me by « ' loving friends' respecting sea fishing, or rather angling in salt water. At this particular season, " ail hands and the cook" are at the sea side, and although at most places there are such attrac- tions in the shape of sirens, mermaids, and irresistible forms beneath the most wonderful " last thing out,'' yet there are some brutes who have the; sporting mania so strong that they absolutely prefer a bit of sea fishing to " dolly moping,'' and making sand puddings on the beach. It goes very hard against the grain to give these monsters any sort of advice, but as I have in my last promised to do so I must redeem my pledge. Sea trout are the most sporting of all fish killed in salt water. There are very few places where sea trout can be killed in the tide way, on our English coast, but in Ireland and Scotland magnificent sport of this kind may be had. The tiies for sea trout are gaudy, composed chiefly of golden pheasant feathers, macaw, mallard, and peacock ; yellow, claret, and red brown hackles; and yellow, amber, or blue floss silk. In fact, the sea trout, though a magnificent fellow, and about the most game of any fish, is not very particular. " Take me whilst I'm in the humour'' is his motto, and when that is the case it is little matter what you have on so that it is gaudy. The next most game fish is the basse, and these fish are in very great abundance all round our coast. They rise weli to a fly, and will take a spinning bait. These fish lie about the rocks near shore, and if there should be any old wreck, or an old pier where the piles have been for many years in the water, there you will find the basse. You may als ) ground bait a spot where these fish are known to lie, and by so doing collect such a quantity of fish that you may almost be certain of sport. The best way to ground bait is to get an old useless net, tie up garbage of any sort, and sink it. The most sporting way of killing basse is with the fly; use a strong, stiff salmon rod, and a line of not less than one hundred yards. The best fly I have used for basse fishing was made— body: red mohair, picked out at shoulder, gold twist over; blood red hackle for legs; and the light pencilled feather found under the swallow's wing for wings. The fly should be made rough and full- bodied. Basse are powerful fish, and take a deal of killing; they often run up to a great weight, but the usual size killed by the rod on our coast is under ten pounds. Basse will take spoon bait, and in fact any artificial fish such as are used for salmon. Care should be taken to dry your lines after fishing in salt water, or they will very soon rot and become useless. Btretch the line over pegs ( under a shed is best), and when it is dry rub it with an old silk handkerchief, then give the line a coat of beeswax, by rubbing the line with a piece of wax, and after that run a piece of oiled silk over the line. A strong salmon line ef prepared silk, if tried and treated as above, will last for years, whereas a neglected line will be useless in a few months. Basse take all sorts of bait better after four o'clock and up to eleven o'clock at nightj The grey mulletj affords very pretty sport for the rod fisher. These fish are in great abundance all round our coast. They frequent the mill ponds, docks, inlets, and mouths of rivers. Mullet are powerful fish, and require strong but. fine tackle. They fightjhard, but not with the spirited dash of a trout or salmon ; it is a stubborn boring, which, how- ever, tries your tackle. They do not feed much on the surface, but I have taken them with a fly; made— body : silver twist; wing: mottled feather from the teal. The wing should be made to lie down along the body, which may be done by whipping a bit of silk round the teal feather at the tail of the fly. The fly is intended to represent a shrimp. I cannot say much for the imitation, but it answers the purpose, for mullet seem to see some sort of resemblance. The best way to use the fly is to sink it a few inches below the surface, and draw it through the water with short jerks. The most successful way of rod fishing for mullet is sinking a bait; the finer the tackle, consistent with strength, the better. The secret in mullet fishing is to use a small hook and bait, and to be very careful not to permit any portion of the hook to be visible; the same sort of hooks as are used for roach fishing— that is, short in the shank- are best for mullet; as they have a very small mouth, and bite very delicately, they cannot take a very large bait. The baits used for mullet are small shrimp; the marsh worm or " lug," which is found in the mud of salt marshes; it is a pecu- liar worm, and has a number of small legs all along the body; mullets will also take gentles, wasp grubs, and white paste, such as is used for roach fishing, but the very best bait I ever saw for mullet is the tongue of a muscle; a light stiff rod, fine line, and, as I have said, fine strong gut must be used, a quill float is an assistant when the water is calm; you must watch your float keenly, and strike sharply ; in fact mullet fishing is very like roach fishing. Whiting pout are a very delicate and excellent fish for the table, and are found on all parts of our coast. Pout fishing is a favourite amusement of many sea- side visitors. " Whiting pouts" are generally found at the edge of banks or rocks near deep water, but to be successful it is best to hire a boat from some of the many men who are accustomed to fish for the market, or attend upon boating parties. There are always plenty such at all sea- side places. These men know the spots where the fish usually resort, and in general have lines, bait, & c, ready at very short notice. Whiting pout take the marsh worm ( before explained as a bait for mullet). Cover the hook well, and don't put on too large a bait. The tackle usually used is a hand line, to which is attached a sinker, and through this sinker a piece of iron wire © r whalebone of about 18 inches or a foot; from each end of this cross piece is suspended a bait hook, whipped on about a foot of twisted horse hair, or, what is better, strong gut. Several of these lines, with hooks baited as above, may be hung round the boat, and parties are seated, a line in each hand, which they should keep moving up and down, the bait being lowered to about three feet from the bottom. Strike smartly when you feel a bite, and haul in at once. In this way many dozen of these delicious little fish may be taken during one tide's fishing. The next fish on our bill of fare is the mackerel. To enjoy mackerel fishing you must have a good sea boat, and a careful and ex- perienced boatman. A " mackerel breeze'' is a term so well known, even to landsmen in England, that I need only sayit is just that pleasant sort of zephyr which will send your boat skipping through the water at a good rate, and still not disturb the surface of the water sufficientlytokickupabobberyintheinternalmachinery of the most delicately- constructed " victualling department.'' The lines used for mackerel are prepared round plait, and about the size of a salmon line. They may be bought at almost any sea- side fishing town. A sinker of about an ounce weight, if your boat is going at a moderate rate— say three miles per hour— will be sufficient; if faster, the sinker must be heavier. Below the sinker should be some three feet of strong salmon gut and a bait- hook. Bait the hook with a piece of any fish cut to represent a small fish. A slice cut from the under part of a fish, near the tail, including part of the tail, is the best. With line in hand you seat yourself at the stern of the boat and let out about twenty- five yards of line; then give the bait motion by pulling the line for- ward and letting it drop back. There is not much art required, and when the fish are biting well you may soon kill several dozen. Mackerel will rise at a fly well at times. Use a double- handed trout rod ; line and trace of salmon gut; a fly made as I recommended for basse fishing, but smaller, is very good; red and white appear to be the colours they prefer. I have not space in this letter to give any hints on salmon fishing, but will do so in my next, and also continue the subject of sea fishing.— Yours, & c, ' FIN. The annual fishing match of the Friendly Anglers, held at Mr Lane's, Three Pigeons, Charing Cross, Norwich, came off at Cold- hamhall on Monday, Aug 3. There were 10 pairs of anglers, two in a boat, moored 30 yards apart, and 10 yards from shore, oppo- site Strumpshaw Dyke. The sport commenced at twelve o'clock, and at four o'clock the umpire collected the bags and baskets, and soon the weighing was completed. The anglers and friends then retired to the long room, where a cold collation awaited them. On the removal of the cloth the umpire, Mr Lane, awarded the first prize to Messrs W. Vincent and Hewett, 581b,£ 2 10s ; second, Messrs Jayford and Betts, 501b, £ 2 ; third, Messrs F. Vincent and Debage, 411b, £ 110s ; fourth, Messrs Mann and Mann, 321b, £ 1; fifth, Messrs T. Vincent and Currey, 17ylb, 10s. The united catch of eight boats was 240jlb. Two boats did not come to scale. AQUATIC REGISTER. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. MOBNING. EVENING.

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON REGATTA. The season of 1863 claims from us more than ordinary remark, because it is the resuscitation of the squadron's carnival, and a fortunate combination of circumstances has contributed to render its revival the most brilliant we have witnessed for many years. The week commenced under the most cheering auspices, whether in point of weather, the number of stately yachts, or the multitude of spectators; indeed, we may state that Cowes has never pre- sented such a glorious appearance in every respect as on the pre- sent occasion. Our last report of the achievements of the Royal Yacht Squadron was temporarily brought to a close with the season of 1861, up to which period we furnished our readers with a table of the winners of Her Majesty's Cup, and that which had annually been presented by the late Prince Consort. Referring then only to the past year as one of rest, we this year begin a new epoch in yachting. We must, however, repeat that this princely club in numbers, rank, and tonnage has maintained its position and pre- eminence. The corrected list of the fleet up to the present time stands thus:— Total, 194 mambers; 118 yachts, gross tonnage 14,299, comprising 64 schooners, averaging 134 tons each; 27 cutters, averaging 70 tons; 14 yawls, 2 luggers, 1 ship, and 10 steamers, the latter class representing 1,981 tons, against 12,318 tons, propelled by canvas alone. The following table shows the gradual progress of the squadron, the increase in the number and size of schooners, and the consequent decrease of cutters:— that there was not the usual alacrity displayed in getting the canvas hoisted. The following were the entries :— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. I YACHT. TONS. OWNER. * VINDEX .. 45.... A. Duncan MARINA 65.... J. C. Morice CRUSADER . .30.... J. Sladen I AUDAX 62.... J. H. Johnson * PSYCHE.... 46.... J. Wardlaw | CHRISTABEL ,. 4S.... H. H. Kenaard ARROW .. .. 94.. .. T. ChamberUyne I PHRYNE 55.. .. T. Seddon The Vindex and the Psyche did not start. The remainder got away in tolerable order. Crusader had a capital start, but was quickly followed by the old Arrow ; then the Marina in her wake, closely followed by Christabel and Audax. The Phryne did not seem inclined to move ; she was last, and most of the yachts in the match had got well clear of the roads before we could ascertain whether she was in the race. The whole were now scudding be- fore the wind, which was on their starboard quarter, and during their run to the eastward slightly changed their position. The Arrow soon drew out from the lot and away she went. On round- ing the Warner they were timed as follows:— H. M. S. | H. M. S. I H. M. S. ARROW 11 33 0 PHRYNE 11 34 15 AUDAX 11 35 0 MARINA 11 34 0 | CHRISTABEL .. 11 34 20 | CRUSADER ..., 11 38 0 About 12: 20 the leading yacht hove in sight from Cowes under the north shore, followed at a respectable distance. On passing Calshot we descried the Arrow's dark blue and silver stas, leading four others, about two miles in advance, and on passing Calshot at 12: 40: 30 she was minutes ahead of the Phryne, which was followed by three others at about a minute apart. From thence they all kept their reach on the port tack until they were well in the mouth of the Southampton water; they then went about and worked down the north shore, each making tack for tack to the northward of the Brambles. At 1: 0: 5, off Eaglehurst, the Arrow reached across the Solent on the starboard tack, thence about again, and after another tack or two weathered the western mark vessel, which, by the bye, had been despatched from Cowes to replace the vessel which had parted from her moorings, and bore up for Cowes an hour previously. The following is the order and time in which they severally passed the western mark :— H. M. 3. I H. M. S. ARROW 1 31 0 AUDAX 1 45 0 PHRYNE 1 44 15 | CHRISTABEL 1 50 0 Marina and Crusader became hors de combat; the former bore up and gave in near the roadstead, and the latter took the ground when working down, and, having got off, bore up for the harbour.

This club held its third regatta for the season on Oulton Broad, on Thursday, Aug 6. The weather could scarcely be called fine, the clouds being dull and heavy, while there were some occa- sional showers early in the < 4ay; still it was far from unenjoyable. The muster of yachts was considerable, the little fleet on the Broad— which is a large and pleasing sheet of water about two miles from Lowestoft— comprising the two yachts of the Commo- dore ( Mr E. J. H. Harvey), the Wanderer, cutter, 14 tons, and the Myth, cutter, 9 tons ; the Alabama, cutter, 14 tons ; the Ama- teur, latteen, Mr J. Brown ; the Augusta, cutter, Mr B. Russell; the Belvidere, cutter, 9 tons, Mr'W. H. Clabburn ; the Bittern, cutter, 7 tons, Messrs Hausell and Morgan ; the Blanche, cutter, 7 tons, Mr R. Morris; the Enchantress, latteen, 6 tons, Mr H. P. Green ( Vice- Commodore) ; the Glance, cutter, 9 tons, Mr W. Steward ; the Isabella, cutter, Mr C. H. Chamberlin ; the Kestrel, cutter, 12 tons, Mr W. Butcher; the Little Moggy, cutter, IS tons, Mr T. M. Read ; the Osprey, latteen, Mr E. S svatman ; the Red Rover, cutter, 14 tons, Mr S. Nightingale; the Ripple, latteen, Mr W. B. Brandford ; the Rover, cutter, 16 tons, Mr T. H. Palmer ; the Vampire, latteen, 8 tons, Mr W. 8. Everett, & c. The first match was for a prize of £ 1- 5, the course being six times round the Broad, following buoys laid down. The entries were the Belvi- dere, Mr W. H. Clabburn ; the Wanderer, Mr R. J. H Harvey ; the Myth, Mr R. J. H. Harvey ; the Red Rover, Mr S. Nightin- gale ; and the Alabama, Mr E. S. Trafford. The Belvidere did not, however, complete even her first round, having gone on the wrong side of one of the buoys. There was a nice westerly breeze, and the yachts went ahead in very fair style, the Red Rover gra- dually acquiring the lead, although she was hard pressed by the Wanderer. The first round closed as follows:— H. M. S. I H. 31. S. I H. M. S. RED ROVER .. 12 15 44 MYTH 12 1( 5 33 ALABAMA .... 12 17 35 WANDERER .. 12 16 10 [ The Red Rover had thus at this point a slender advantage of 26sec over her old antagonist, which was sailed by her former owner, Mr J. L. Barber. Shortly after the commencement of the second round, however, the Wanderer grounded, and was seen no more in the match. The Alabama also retired, having carried away her bobstay. The match was thus narrowed to the Red Rover and Myth, and even the former of these was not wholly exempt from accidents, having carried away her bowsprit shrouds. The Red Rover, it will be seen, had at the close of the first round a lead of 49sec over the Myth, but in the second round she lost the odd 9sec. Time: — H. M. s. I H. M. s.

The Red Rover thus won by 25sec. The second match was between the second and third class yachts of the club, the first of the former class receiving £ 10, and the first in the latter the entrance fees paid during the day. The second class comprised the Myth, 9 tons ( sailed by the Hon O. Lambert); the Vampire, 8 tons, MrW. S. Everett; and the Belvidere, 9 tons; while the third class included the Blanche, 7 tons, Mr R. Morris; the Bit- tern, 7 tons, Messrs Hansell and Morgan; the Enchantress, 6 tons, Mr H. P. Green; and the W'oman in White, 6 tons, Mr J. L. Barber. The two last, however, did not start. The Myth at once took the lead, the Blanche following. The first round closed as follows:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S.

Shearman. The following are the entries :— The usual preparatory signals having been made, the starting gun was fired at 11: 15 a. m. The yachts having canted round, mostly with their heads turned toward the island, the Volage was the first to take the lead, followed by Flying Cloud, then Aline, Petrel abreast outside, and Albertine and" Sultana. In this manner they passed through the roadstead, but after passing Os- borne they changed places, and on reaching Ryde Pier the fol- lowing shows the time and position in this early part of the race :— H.

On the former making a tack, the Aline fol- lowed suit, and came out on her weather, and took the first place. The western mark vessel was rounded as follows:— H. M.

Besides the above there were to be seen intermingled with the bearers of the white burgee other splendid yachts, belonging to the blue and red squadrons, each bearing their distinguishing burgees and ensigns. Among the most conspicuous was the yawl Water Lily, Lord Alfred Paget, with the Commodore's broad pennant of the Royal Thames; the Rosetta, the Phryne, the Audax, Chrystabel, Marina, Crusader, Vindex, & c. Her Majesty's Cup has this year been renewed, and his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has also, on becoming a patron of the club, presented a cup of the value of 100 guineas, to be sailed for by yachts of the squadron. We are also pleased to add that Her Majesty has this season continued her munificent bounty of £ 2- 5 to the committee for the royal town amusements, which were always blended with the squadron's regatta, and which in a great measure contribute to render the grand day one of joyous hilarity and amusement to thousands of the poorer classes. The Royal Yacht Squadron also presented 100 guineas in cash for* an open race between cutters of any royal club. The pro- gramme, therefore, was as follows :— Tuesday, Aug 4, a private match between two topsail schooners, the Resolution, 164 tons, belonging to the Duke of Rutland, and the Lotus, 188 tens, Earl Vane. In the evening the annual dinner of the members, at the Castle. On Wednesday Her Majesty's Cup, to be sailed for by all schooners and yawls belonging to the squadron, the yachts to be handicapped according to their supposed merits. In the even- ing a display of fireworks. Thursday the R. Y. S. Purse of 100 guineas, open to all cutter yachts of 30 tons and upwards belonging to any royal yacht club. In the afternoon the town amusements, under the usual patronage of the royal family and the members of the squadron. In the evening the squadron's ball. Friday the Prince of Wales's Cup, confined to cutters belonging to the squadron. TUESDAY, AUG 4.— This day a private match came off be- tween two first- class topsail schooners, viz, Resolution, 164 tons, belonging to the Duke of Rutland, and Lotus, 188 tons, owned by Earl Vane. The course was from the station off" the Castle, round the east buoy of the Sturbridge, thence returning to the westward, passing between Calshot Light vessel and the main, thence to the northward of the Brambles, round the Lepe buoy, and back to the goal. The weather was fine, with a fresh breeze from the southward and westward, which continued throughout the forenoon until four p. m., when it changed and became very squally with rain throughout the remainder of the day. The yachts having taken their stations off the Castle, the usual prepa- ratory gun was fired, and five minutes afterwards— viz, 10: 30— another gun was fired, and the start was effected. The Resolution took the lead through the roadstead and maintained it through- out the course. After rounding the Sturbridge the yachts hauled their wind and kept their reach on the port tack for the Calshot Light vessel. The Resolution, being at the least about a mile dead to windward of the Lotus, passed the Calshot Light vessel at 12: 20, and continued on the same reach to the northward until 12: 25, when she went about at the mouth of the Southampton water, and worked to the westward down the north channel. At 12: 30 the Lotus performed the same manoeuvre. Off Eaglehurst the Lotus seemed to have gained a trifle on her antagonist, as in passing the tower we timed them as under:— ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB.

On Monday evening, Aug 3, the meeting for August was held on the Cheshire side of the Mersey, at Rock Ferry. The Cup Bearer presided. The company sat down to the usual house din- ner previously. Eleven gentlemen were admitted members and others proposed. The North Star, cutter, 27 tons, has been pur- chased of Mr David Gamble by Mr Arthur H. Dendy of Torquay, a member of the club. The Maria, schooner, 50 tons, has been purchased by Mr Charles Birch, the former owner of the Haid6e cutter. The Aurora, schooner, 53 tons, has been purchased by Mr Peter Miller of this club. The Iolanthe, schooner, 83 tons, Mr H. Bridson, is at anchor off the marine station. Most of the yachts are away cruising and attending the various regattas. The Bacchante, cutter, belonging to the Vice- Commodore, has been at Beaumaris, in the Menai Straits. The Thought and Queen have been at Carnarvon. The Ierne, schooner, Commodore Graves's vessel, and the Cecilia, belonging to the Rear- Commodore, are gone to the south coast. The Victoria, the Hon Secretary's eraft, is in the River Dee. The Snipe, yawl, Thos. Bourne, is in the Clyde. RANELAGH YACHT CLUB. The next general meeting of the Ranelagh Yacht Club will be held at the Pier Hotel, Chelsea, on Wednesday evening, Aug 12, at eight o clock. Members intending to dine at the club dinner, or to introduce visitors, must give notice to Mr Golding, at the Club House, not later than Tuesday, Aug 11. The following gen- tlemen will be balloted for:— D. Campbell, Victoria Grove, Folkestone, Undine, 5£ tons ; J. Denny, L. R. C. P. and M. R. C.

After making a few tacks; to round the Lepe buoy, but without either increasing or lessening the breach between them, the same was effected by the Resolution at 1: 33: 25 and by the Lotus at 1: 41: 20. Thereupon they kept away for the goal, which was reached as follows :— H. M. s. I H. M. z. RESOLUTION 1 47 30 I LOTUS L 57 37 In the evening the annual dinner of the members took place at the Castle, at which about seventy- five of the members and friends sat down, under the presidency of the Commodore and Vice- Com- modore. WEDNESDAY was the day fixed for the contest for Her Majesty's Cup, but a perfect calm prevailed throughout the fore- noon, and there was not a ripple on the surface of the water. The members of the committee therefore postponed the match until the following day. In the evening there was a display of fireworks. THURSDAY.— The morning opened with a strong breeze from the W. S. W., and with every appearance of its in- creasing and threatening mischief. In consequence of the calm of yesterday, there were two matches for to- day, and the committee came to the resolution of starting the match for Her Majesty's Cup half an hour after that for the Royal Yacht Squadron. The yachts having been placed at their allotted sta- tions, the preparatory signal of No. 7 course to the eastward, with a gun at 10: 35, warned the cutters to prepare to start for the R, Y. S. prize. At 10: 40 the start was effected, but we must remark SAILING BARGE MATCH. A special meeting of the Prince of Wales Yacht Club was held on Tuesday evening, Aug 4, at the Freemasons' Tavern, princi- pally to consider the best means of carrying into effect a proposal, emanating from Mr H. Dodd, for a match between sailing barges. The chair was taken by Mr Hewitt, the Commodore, who was supported by Mr Dodd, Mr Wright, Mr Groves, and Mr P. Turner. The Commodore congratulated the meeting at the prospect of being able to produce the novelty of a sailing barge race; but they had assembled upon a most momentous oc- casion and submitted some rules which had been drawn up for the approbation of the club. The whole matter was then fully discussed^; and Mr H. Dodd having generously offered £ 20 to be contended for in three prizes, it was suggested that many other barge owners might like to add to the fund. It was then determined that Mr Grant, of the Harp Tavern, Harp- lane, Great Tower- street, City, should be appointed treasurer of any further sums, the whole of which will be applied to the increase of prizes or other advantages to the owners and sailing captains, without any deduction. The match to be for rigged barges from 50 and not exceeding 100 tons burthen. To be sailed on Wednesday, Aug 26. High water at Gravesend at 10: 54 a. m. Barges to sail from Gravesend to the Nore Light and back ; their owners to draw for stations; barges to ride at their kedge; each barge to have not more than five hands on board, and not any one to be on board except persons actually engaged in or necessary to the working of the barge ; each barge to have for use four'sails only— jib, main, fore, and mizen sails, and those only their ordinary working suit; the first gun to be the signal for barges to prepare; the second to be the signal to get their kedges and start; each barge to be al- lowed to use one sweep, and that only in the blade; to prevent an accident, barges to be hatched and battened down. All en- tries to be made at or before eight p. m. on Tuesday, Aug 18, at Mr H. Grant's, the Harp, 13, Harp- lane, Great Tower- street. An entrance fee of 10s each barge, payment of which to be made at the time of entry. If less than five barges enter there will be no race, but in such case the entrance fee will be returned. The match will be carried out under the orders and directions of the officers and committee of the Prince of Wales Yacht Club, who will issue orders and directions which will have to be obeyed. No allowance of time for tonnage. The above arrangements we have no doubt will be hailed with great satisfaction by those con- cerned ; and it is in contemplation by a committee of gentlemen to engage the Oread steamer to accompany the race. BARNES AND M0RTLAKE AMATEUR REGATTA. MEEDITOB: In your report of the above regatta you say that, previous to the start for the final ; heat of the Junior Sculls, I " protested against Mr Hopton starting in that heat." Perhaps you will allow me to correct that statement. The protest I made was against Mr Ryan and Mr Hopton being doth allowed to row in that heat. The committee having reversed the umpire's deci- sion, which was that Mr Ryan was the winner of the second heat, it was not for me to select which of those gentlemen was entitled to row. But, sir, it appears to me that if the committee had ad- hered to the rules which they put forward for the conduct of the regatta, they were bound either to have acted upon the umpire's decision upon the foul which occurred in the second heat, or to have started the race over again. It is, moreover, admitted that Mr Rickaby, who came in second in the second heat, was fouled by Mr Hopton subsequent to the foul between Messrs Ryan and Hopton, and therefore if the foul between these last- named gen- tlemen had been occasioned by Mr Ryan, Mr Rickaby should have been declared the winner of that heat. I send you a printed copy of the rules as to racing which were published fey the com- mittee.— Yours, & c, A. R. PITT, West London Rowing Club. TEMPLE YACHT CLUB.— The monthly meeting of this club was held on Wednesday, Aug 5, at the club house, Essex- street; the Commodore in the chair. The minutes of last meeting having been confirmed a report of the second match was read and ordered to be inserted in the minutes. Mr Hay ward was proposed for election next meeting night. The entries for the third and last match of the season on Aug 24 will finally close on Monday, the 17th, at ten o'clock, at the club bouse. The Myth thus took the £ 10 prize, and the Blanche the en- trances. This match closes the official season of the club, but on Friday, Aug 7, there were to be great doings on the Broad, handsome prizes having been presented by the Commodore for a series of yacht and rowing matches. Three distinct yacht prizes were offered for first, secondhand third- class yachts. The entrances for the first were the Belvidere, the Little Yankee ( Capt Chol- mondeley), the Rover ( Mr T. H. Palmer), the Marguerite ( Mr H. K. Tompson), and the Red Rover. For the second class prize the competitors entered were the Belvidere, the Vampire, and the Enchantress; while in the third class the entries were the Bittern, the Blanche, the Osprey ( Mr R. Heughton), and the Miranda ( Mr R. B. Humfrey). The club, therefore, winds up 186- 3 with a flourish. We observed a few months since that Mr Harvey's elec- tion as Commodore of the club would prove a great advantage to it, and events have fully proved the justice of the remark. WALT0N- 0N- THE- NAZE REGATTA. This regatta was held under the auspices of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club on Wednesday, Aug 5. The weather was fine, al though the heat had been tempered by some acceptable showers, and there was a considerable influx of visitors from Colchester and other points. There was a nice westerly breeze, which in- creased during the afternoon, although, perhaps, the wind was never sufficient to test the sea- going qualities of the com- peting yachts. The following yachts assembled :— The Salute, cutter, 10 tons, Mr J. Cardinall, Royal Harwich Yacht Club ; the Silver Star, schooner, 24 tons, Mr P. Bruff, Royal Harwich ; the Avalon, cutter, 35 tons, Mr J. Goodson, Royal Harwich, Royal Thames, and Royal London ; the Water Witch, schooner, 23 tons, Mr H. Allenby, Royal Yorkshire ; the Dewdrop, cutter, 18 tons, Mr E. Packard, Royal Harwich ; the Violet, schooner, 15 tons, Mr P. Bennet, Royal Harwich and Royal Thames; the Gem, cutter, 10 tons, Mr J. G. Chamberlain, Royal Harwich and Royal London: the Dream, cutter, 8 tons, Mr Everard, Ipswich; the Garibaldi, cutter, 9 tons, Mr J. Vaux, jun, Royal Harwich ; the Water Sprite, cutter, Mr E. Alston, Manningtree, & c. The Heron and Prince steamboats landed passengers, and anchored oft the jetty, and the Queen of the Thames, and the steamers en the Ipswich and London station, also touched at Walton during the day. By the kindness of Mr Cardinall, the 8alute was placed at the disposal of the regatta committee for the day ; she was anchored about half a mile from the shore, and was gaily decorated from stem to stern with bunting, while two handsome silver cups, offered for competition during the day, were suspended from her rigging. The regatta committee comprised Mr P. Bruff, Mr W. Bruff, Mr W. H. Neate, and Mr T. Wilmeshurst ( hon sec), Mr J. Mann, of Dovercourt. also afforded his useful assistance in timing the yachts, & c. The starting gun in the first match was fired on board the Salute at a quarter to one p. m. The contest was between smacks, for a purse of £ 10, presented by Sir G. N. Broke- Middleton, Bart, the competitors not to exceed 16 tons, and to belong to Harwich, Walton- on- the- Naze, and Pin Mill. The prize was divided so as to secure the first boat £ 5, the second £ 3, and the third £ 2. In the smack match an allowance of half a minute per ton was made for difference of tonnage, and of course the same rule was observed with regard to yachts. The entries comprised the Paragon, cutter, loftons, Pin Mill; the Tripping, cutter, 15 tons, Pin Mill; and the Triumph, cutter, 9 tons, Pin Mill. The Paragon was the favourite at starting, and was the first to get under weigh. The Tripping was, however, for some time a close second. The first round was completed as follows: — H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. PARAGON 3 6 47 | TRIPPING 3 9 10 | TRIUMPH 3 18 50 In the second round the Tripping and Triumph dropped con- siderably further astern, leaving the Paragon an easy winner. Time:— H. M. S. I H. M. s. I H. M. S. PARAGON 5 49 0 | TRIPPING 6 48 50 [ TRIUMPH 7 11 30 The second match was for a piece of plate of the value of £ 10, presented to the committee by Mr J. Berners, of Woolverstone Park, and sailed for by yachts of any rig not exceeding 15 tons. The yachts took up their stations about two p. m., the following appearing at the moorings :— The Violet, schooner, 15 tons, Mr P. Bennet ( red, white, and blue) ; the Gem, cutter, 10 tons, Mr J. G. Chamberlain ( white and blue) ; and the Dream, cutter, 8 tons, Mr Everard ( white, with crest). Before the start took place the Dream carried away her bobstay, but her crew soon repaired damages, and she was enabled to join in the match. On the sig- nal gun being fired the Violet was the first to get under weigh, the Dream following in her wake. Shortly afterwards a second misfortune befel the ill- starred Dream, which carried away her topsail halyards, besides damaging her gaff. This disaster caused her to lose so much ground that she retired before completing the first round. The contest between the Violet and Gem was well sustained, but the former gained upon her opponent in tacking. The first round closed thus :— H. M. S. I H. M. s. VIOLET 4 37 0 | GEM 4 46 0 The ebb tide having made down, and the wind being light, the committee> esolved upon shortening the distance by sending the yachts round the committee's boat and the outer flagboat, instead of round the stone bench, thereby curtailing the distance by seven miles and a half. At the end of the second round the yachts were timed thus :— H. M. s. | H. M. s. VIOLET 7 4 211 GEM 7 16 55 The Violet was thus declared the winner, but the owner of the Gem expressed his determination to enter a protest, in conse- quence of the committee curtailing the distance sailed in the second round. The third match was for a Claret Jug of the value of 20 guineas, sailed for by yachts not exceeding 25 tons, of any rig, belonging to a recognised yacht club. It was a matter of disappointment that this, the principal match of the day, did not come off, in consequence of the master of the Water Witch declining to sail in the then state of the wind with such a clipper as the Alexandra, which had entered. Mr P. Bruff, the owner of the Silver Star, spirit- edly offered to enter his yacht to make up the match, but, from the Water Witch declining, and going on a cruise, the affair could not come off. At the close of the sailing matches some prizes presented by the Woolwich and Waterman Steam Packet Companies and the re- gatta committee were rowed for, and the first match was between four- oared boats belonging to Walton, built for sailing or rowing, and not exceeding 26 feet in length, the first boat receiving £ 2 and the second £ 1. The first boat, the Princess Alexandra, 21 feet, came in at 4: 42: 50 ; the second, the Favourite, 21 feet, at 4: 43: 35 ; and the third, the Prince of Wales, 19 feet, at 4: 43: 20 ; the Prince of Wales, claiming 15 seconds for difference in length, was awarded the second prize. The second match, between boats be- longing to Her Majesty's Coast Guard, did not come off, only one- Walton boat having entered. The third match was between lob- ster boats belonging to Walton, the first receiving £ 1 and the second 10s, and the winners were— Byford( white) 1, Oxley ( blue) 2. During the day Mr P. Bruff and the regatta committee hospita- bly entertained a party of gentlemen on board the Salute. A ball in the evening at the Clifton Hotel wound up the festivities of the occasion. TRURO ROYAL REGATTA. This event came off on Friday, July 31, in the presence of a goodly number of spectators, who assembled on Bunny Corner, from whence could be obtained a good view of the course, which extended from the Point to Victoria Point, and from thence to the committee boat off Waterloo Quay, being a distance of about two miles. SAILING BOATS, not exceeding 15 feet; four prizes, £ 4, £ 3, £ 2 10s, and £ 1; three times round the course. The start took place at 4: 22, the following boats taking part in the race:— CORA— G.

FOUB- OABED GIGS, not exceeding 32 feet; three times round the course; two prizes, £ 15 and £ 5. Only two boats started, al- though five were entered. This greatly disappointed the specta- tors, by whom this race was looked forward to with a great deal of interest, in consequence of the large amount offered for compe- tition. The Pride of Plymouth, J. Ware ( Plymouth): and the Alexandra, W. Sharp ( Truro) were started at 6: 22 p. m. The result was as follows:— 1ST ROUND. 2D ROUND. 3D ROUND, H. M. S. H. M. S. H. M. S.

This regatta came off at the Ham, at Tewkesbury, on Tuesday, Aug 4, and was as successful as the wet weather would permit. Mr F. Moore discharged the duties of secretary with courtesy and promptitude. MrW. George, of Worcester, officiated | as judge, and Mr Stephen Salter, of Oxford, as usual, made a capital starter. A SAILING RACE for a SILVER CUP, open to all boats ; entrance 10s each boat; distance from the judge's chair to the Mythe Bridge, round a fishing boat, down to the locks, round another boat, and back to the judge's chair.

Kees ( Cardiff) 2 Mr W. Farmer ( Hereford) 0 Mr Hopton's boat came right away and won by two lengths. Mr Farmer did not get to the post in time for starting, the fact being that at the last moment his boat got damaged, and he had to bor- row another, hence the fatal delay. SECOND HEAT. Mr C. W. Roney ( Ariel Rowing Club, London) 1 Mr Milner ( Bristol) 2 Mr Wyatt ( Oxford Circuit Boat Club) 0 Bristol took the lead, and maintained it for half a mile, when he was collared by the metropolitan, and defeated by a length and a half. Mr Wyatt also started, but his pilot soon ceased row- ing, inasmuch as the " wash'' of the other two had filled his boat with water. DECIDING HEAT. Mr T. W. Hopton 11 Mr C. W. Roney 2 This was a finely contested affair, both men being bow and bow- to within 100 yards of the chair, when Mr Hopton put on a spurt, and won by a length and a half.

Under the Mythe Bridge the boats, however, again became level, but Warwick, by downright gameness, re- overhauled the Car- diffites, and won a most exciting race by a length ; same between second and third, the Tewkesbury towards the finish having made a spirited effort to beat the Welshmen.

This important annual event, established in 1714 by the late Thomas Doggett, a famous comedian, in order to celebrate the acccession of the family of her present Majesty to the throne of England, was rowed for on the 1st of August, and attracted the usual thousands of spectators, the course being especially adapted for sight- seers, as along the whole route are bridges, wharfs, stairs, esplanades, and what not, from which a view of the race may be commanded. The course, as all our readers are aware, is from the Old Swan at London Bridge to the Old Swan at Chelsea, a distance of something like four miles and a half, which should, according to the will of the founder, be rowed against tide, but which rule has lately been infringed upon till, on Saturday last, we find the men saving the tide all the way up. The prizes are a scarlet livery and silver badge for the winner, to which the Fishmongers' Company, who have charge of the wager, add a guinea; the se- cond man receives £ 4 17s 9d, and the third £ 2 18s 9d, these latter being severally five- eighths and three- eighths of the interest on £ 260 17s 3d Three per Cents Reduced ( formerly £ 200 South Sea Stock), left by Sir William Jolliffe as per will; the Fishmongers' Company give the fourth man £ 1 lis 6d, and the last two a guinea each, and the following are the names of the six young watermen ( out of their time since the 1st of August, 1862) who were fortu- nate enough to obtain lots on this occasion, viz: T. Young ( Princes Stairs, Ro- therhithe) J. Egalton ( Blackwall) H. M. S. QUICKSILVER— Capt Green.. 6 58 0 JOHN 6 58 0 GEesGE— Capt Hayes 7 58 15 H. M. S. ELIZABETH— Capt Keane ,. 6 58 45 GLORY— Capt Wilson ...... 7 0 0 H. Pruce ( Bankside) J. E. Mears ( Deptford) E. W. Edwardes ( Tower) F. It. Russell ( Bermondsey) According to ancient custom, the man who obtains the first lot takes the first station, which is nearest Fishmongers' Hall, on the Middlesex side, whence they follow on in the order drawn, the last man being to the southward. Pruce was the first to show, the others soon following, attended by their cutters; and shortly before half- past three the venerable Mr Dards, bargemaster of the Fishmongers' Company, took up his position at the bridge as starter and umpire, rowed by his usual crew, one of whom ( Charles Loder) was beaten by the renowned Robert Newell's father for the Coat and Badge as far back as 1808, and is hearty yet. We have said that the number of spectators had nothing abated from previous years, but much disappointment was felt by the regular attendants on aquatics, and amongst whom were several old Coat and Badge men, who assembled on Old Swan Pier in large numbers, expecting to accompany the race by the usual steamer, or steamers, provided by the various companies, and who were surprised to find that there was no steamer going. The whole party, therefore, toek their chance on board two ordi nary passage boats, whose captains did their best to give their passengers no chance of seeing the race, and thoroughly suc- ceeded. A well- known supporter of pedestrianism has promised, sooner than miss the race another year, to engage a boat for the aquatic public, and it is to be hoped that an opportunity will thus be afforded of witnessing one of the best races of the year. THE START took place at 3: 35, or 10 minutes after high water time, but as there was a strong wind up the river the men started on the top of the flood, and saved their tide well all the way up. They started very close together, Pruce being in the middle of the river, and slightly ahead at the time Mr Dards fired his pistol. He, therefore, had the lead, followed by Mears, Russell third, Young fourth, then Edwardes, Egalton going off badly, and being last. Mears, immediately after the start, rowed on to Pruce's stern. Edwardes fell along with them, and these three keeping the centre of the river soon began to fall astern, while the others, working their way among the barges on the Surrey shore, and consequently getting out of the wash of the various craft passing up and down, and taking the nearest cut, went ahead, Egalton having soon made up for lost time, and Young rowing well and strong among the first three. Young, Russell, and Egalton con- tinued close together, and rowed an exceedingly good race to Blackfriars Bridge, where they were nearly level. They shifted a little after this, and the race between them continued to be very severe until they were well through Waterloo Bridge, where Egalton had fallen slightly astern of the others, who kept up a neck and neck race to Hungerford Bridge, after which Young got into the strength of the tide, and took the lead. At Westminster Bridge he was a length ahead, Russell being second, and Egalton several lengths behind, owing to fouling a barge, but he had pulled up considerably at Lambeth Pier, which the first three passed in very near proximity, the others also being close, with a gap of several lengths between the two divisions. In these positions they remained to the Penitentiary, where Young put on a fine spurt, and passed under Vauxhall Bridge leading by three lengths. Russell made an attempt to better his position, and Egalton also rowed with great pluck, but their positions did not alter. At Pimlico Pier Young led by four or five lengths, and under the new bridge by six or seven. This lead he increased afterwards, his form being very good, and he ultimately reached the Old Swan at Chelsea a winner by ten lengths. Russell was five lengths ahead of Egalton, who was nearly double that ahead of Edwardes. Pruce was fifth, and Mears sixth, but there was barely more than two minutes between the whole six. The time of the winner was very good, being 38 minutes, as nearly as could be ascertained. He rowed in a very pretty boat named the Anti- gallican, built by Salter, in which David Coombes won the coat at the last Thames Regatta, and was taken up by Tom White. TWICKENHAM ROWING CLUB- SENIOB SCULLS.— The senior members of this club contended on Monday, Aug 3, for a handsome silver salver presented by Captain Horton. A large number of spectators assembled on Eel Pie Island to witness the various heats, and the proceedings were further enlivened by the presence of an excellent band en- gaged by the club. Subjoined is an account of the racing, Messrs N. H. Vertue and Vincent Griffiths, the captain and hon sec, being umpires in two eights manned by the members. FIRST HEAT. T. G. Bowyer ( centre station) 1 W. H. T. Hawley ( Surrey station) 0 R. Mawley ( Middlesex station) 0 The course was from Little Marble Hall to the Bachelors, about a mile and a quarter, with the tide, but a strong set of wind down the river made the labour up rather severe. They started very evenly, Mawley leading a little till Bowyer pulled up to him, Hawley being slightly astern. A rattling good race ensued to the Due d'Aumale's, where Bowyer went in front, followed by Haw- ley, Mawley tailing, and being beaten off at the island. From here Bowyer continued to hold the lead, Hawley pressing him with the utmost game, but sometimes falling much astern owing, to wild steerage. He picked up however towards the end, and, rowing very well to the finish, was only beaten by a length. SECOND HEAT. T. Atherstone ( centre station) 1 Murray ( Surrey) 0 Hawkins ( Middlesex) 0 Hawkins took the lead, and held it for one hundred yards, but then tailed off altogether, and the other two coming together had a good race for a quarter of a mile. Atherstone then drew away, and as Murray ceased his exertions several times won easily. Distance as before. THIRD HEAT. R. Brldgett walked over Messrs R. Thrupp and E. Stringer not going. FINAL HEAT. T. A tkerstone ( Middlesex station) 1 T. G. Bowyer ( Surrey station) 0 • R. Bridgett ( centre station) 0 Atherstone went off with a slight lead, Bowyer and Bridgett well together, until the latter, who, consequent upon the lateness of the hour at which his own heat started, had had to run up the towing- path to get to his station in the final, fell out and after- wards tailed off. Bowyer then went on in pursuit of Atherstone, and rowed him an exceedingly hard race to the point, where Atherstone went more decidedly in front, and at Pope's Villa led by six lengths. Bowyer put on a fine spurt after this, and con- tinuing it came within a length of his opponent; but Atherstone put on the steam again at the Ferry, resumed his old lead, and finally won by that distance. The prize was afterwards presented # n the island by Captain Horton, with suitable remarks. NAUTILUS ROWING CLUB. Six of the members of this club rowed a scullers race in heats from Putney to Hammersmith on Wednesday, Aug 5. and the Childe Harold, Capt Futer, accompanied the races, with a large party of ladies and gentlemen on board. The race, although un- announced from some cause or other, was fixed three weeks ago, on a friend of the club offering a handsome silver cup, value £ 20, for competition. To this the club added a smaller silver cup for the second man, and such excellent prizes induced seven gentlemen to enter and train hard for the event, sculling in this club being evidently a desideratum hitherto. The heats took place in the following order :— FIRST HEAT. C. Dickens, jun ( No. 3 station) 11 A. Brent ( Surrey station) 0 J. C. Doran ( No. 2 station) .... 0 | J. Ridpath ( Middlesex station).. 0 The last- named gentleman was left behind from the start, and was soon out of the race. The others remained together to the Boat House, where Dickens began to lead, Doran and Brent con- tinuing level, and rowing a very fine race to the Point, where Brent was shaken off; Mr Dickens had hardly more than clearert- himself by this time, and Doran now collaring him, a sev~ struggle was the result, and so evenly were they matched, tt> v-, although Mr Dickens rowed his best, he was unable to establish a lead of more than a length, and won by that distance. SECOND HEAT. F. Richardson ( Middlesex station) 1 H. Crickett ( centre station) 0 C. Armstrong ( Surrey station) dr The last gentleman was drawn through illness. Crickett went away with the lead, and had increased it to half a length at the Btar, the competitors remaining in these positions till near the London Boat House. Here Richardson went by his opponent, who rowed 011 to his stern directly afterwards, and then Richard- son drew clear away, and won easily. FINAL HEAT. C. Dickens, jun ( Surreystation) 11 F. Richards » n( Middlesexstation) 0 The men, as usual, started from skiffs, and Richardson's being the longest gave liim a slight lead, which he went off with, but Dickens collared him immediately, and rowing very smartly, had obtained a lead of a clear length at the Star and Garter. After this he steered wildly, and Richardson, keeping a good course, came up on his stern, though wide of him. At the Boat House, Dickens put on a spurt, and resuming his lead, continued to hold and in- crease it, Richardson rowing a short and ineffective stroke, al- though pulling with much spirit; at the Point Dickens led by two clear lengths, and at Craven by one more. Crossing the water Richardson spurted gamely, and just beyond the Crab Tree Dickens appeared to be distressed, as his opponent had come within a length and a half of him, but at the Soap Works Dickens went well ahead again, and won by five lengths. SHEPPERTON AND HALLIF0RD REGATTA. This annual watermen's regatta, conducted by a committee of gentlemen, comes off on Saturday, Aug 8, commencing at ten o'clock. The entries are unusually good, and include sculling and pair- oared races, and single and double punting, making fifteen races in all. The competition is open to the watermen, fishermen, & c, of Bhepperton, Halliford, Weybridge, Walton, and Sunbury, and there are besides the usual sports at both Shepperton and Halliford, concluding at 7: 30 with a dinner to the competitors, and a good local regatta may be looked forward to. KILSBY AND MAY- The race between Frank Kilsby, a waterman's apprentice, of Lambeth, and Edward May, the well- known landsman, came off on Saturday, Aug 1, from Putney to Barnes, and proved a very hollow affair to what had been expected. Both having been be- fore the public frequently, it is needless to go into particulars as to their previous doings. They rowed for £ 25 a side, and had trained carefully for the event,' May at his old quarters, Mr Wil- cox's, the White Hart, Barnes, and Kilsby at the Feathers, Wands- worth, and both were in good condition, May's backers making him the favourite at 6 to 4. The Venus, Capt Styles, had been engaged to accompany the race, but, as might have been expected, there was scarcely any one aboard, the principal supporters of the art having gone to see Doggett's Coat and Badge rowed for. The umpires were Gillam for Kilsby, and Mr Wilcox for May, Green, the Australian, being referee. The men appeared at their stations shortly after balf- past three, May winning the toss, and being accompanied by Chuckum as his pilot, while J. Kilsby, as usual, looked after his brother's interests. They started at a quarter to four very evenly, but Kilsby had already begun to ac- quire a lead by the time they reached the Star and Garter. May caught him here, and a little bad steerage on the part of Kilsby gave May a lead a little further on; they kept these positions till they were well beyond Bishop's Creek, when Kilsby once more shot in front, and was well clear at the Point. At Craven, where he led by a length beside his own, it was evidently all over bar accident, and, although there was a spurt or two from May be- tween here and Hammersmith, Kilsby increased his lead, passed under the Bridge in lOmin lOsec, leading by four lengths, and, easing all the way to Barnes, ultimately won by six lengths, doing the distance in 21min 25sec. The " winning boat was built by Biffen. _ BENEFIT TO RICHARD A ~ wT GREEN, THE AUSTRALIAN SCULLER. In our last edition we mentioned that a benefit was likely to take place on behalf of this renowned sculler, and we are now able to inform our readers that, through the exertions of Mr Charles Morton, of Canterbury Hall, every arrangement is com- plete, that gentleman having engaged the " Royal Surrey Theatre, together with a talented company, for Tuesday evening, the 18th August. The tickets, more particularly those for the pit at Is. each, are being rapidly sold; and, although the benefit takes place at so early a date, from all that we can learn there is little fear but that the Australian will meet with that support he so deservedly merits. Even up to the present time, we cannot review Green's performances in this country as anything but sur- prising ; in the first place he suffered defeat, through severe ill- ness, at the hands of Robert. Chambers, but subsequently we hear received forfeit in a second match. He then wins the scullers' race, open to all the world, at the Thames National Regatta, beating many of our leading first- class scullers; and on the same day, after unfortunately meeting with an accident, by which his favourite boat was literally cut in two, he hired a strange boat, and with his trainer, Harry Kelley, won the final heat of the Great Pair- oar Race. We hear that Green proceeds to the Tyne upon the day following the benefit, having entered for the Tyne Cham- pion Cup, value £ 50, with 50 sovs added. This race takes place on the 28th August, and Robert Chambers, Robert Cooper, Harry Kelley, and our Australian hero have already entered. We can- not forget the kind treatment our cricketers received at the hands of Green's own native townsmen at Sydney upon the occasion of their visit last year; and the handsome sum sent from that town on behalf of Sir Thomas de Sayers is also fresh in our memory, and we trust they will now be requited in the person of the Australian Champion. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. A meeting of this institution was held on Thursday, at its house, John- street, Adelphi; Thomas Chapman, Esq, F. R. S., V. P., in the chair. There were also present Capt Sir Edward Perrott, Bart; Admiral M'Hardy; George Lyall, Esq, M. P.; Capt De St Croix; and Richard Lewis, Esq, secretary. A reward was voted te the crew of a fishing- boat for putting off and rescuing, during squally weather, the crew of five men from the brig Pelican, of Drogheda. which was in a disabled condition off the Isle of Lamlash, on the west coast of Scotland, on the 26th June. A reward was also granted to two fishermen for putting off in a small boat and rescuing two out of four persons, whose boat had been capsized during a sudden squall near Kenmare, county Kerry, on the 10th June. A man and woman had unfortunately perished on the occasion before assistance could possibly reach them. The Carmarthen Bay lifeboat of the institution had put off with the view of rendering assistance to the French lugger Jean P. Baptist, which, during very foggy weather, had struck on a dangerous sandbank in that bay, on the night of the 22d inst. Fortunately, however, the vessel succeeded in getting off from her dangerous position, and afterwards proceeded on her voyage. The expenses of this service, amounting to £ 5 4s, were paid by this institution. It was reported that the lifeboats of the institution had, during the seven months of the present year, saved 123 shipwrecked persons, in addition to assisting several vessels into port. The crews of shore- boats, to whom the institu- tion voted pecuniary rewards, had also saved 216 lives, making altogether a total of 339 lives saved during the present year. For these joint services £ 684 18s 2d had been granted by the institution. It had also, during the same period, paid £ 7,055 9s Id on v arious lifeboat establishments. The committee earnestly appealed to the public for continued support, to enable them to maintain the large fleet of lifeboats of the institution, now numbering 125 boats, in a state of efficiency. The silver medal voted by the in- stitution to the coxswain of the Thorpeness lifeboat had been pre- sented to him by the Mayor of Ipswich, at a public meeting held in the Town Hall, on the 16th ult. The cost of this lifeboat was presented to the institution by the town of Ipswich, and since she was sent to her station last winter, she has been the means of saving two shipwrecked crews. It. was reported that R. W. Hollon and Mrs Hollon, of Spellow Park, had presented to the institution the cost of a new lifeboat, to be stationed at Filey, on. the Yorkshire coast. During the past month the institution has sent two new lifeboats to the coast, one to be stationed at Tenby, and the other at Lytham, Lancashire. The cost of these lifeboats had been presented to the society by benevolent persons, and the several railway companies had given the boats a free conveyance over their lines to their respective destinations. Messrs Forrest re- ported that the Government of Mecklenburgh had ordered them to build a lifeboat on the plan of the institution. The trustees of the late Mrs Adams, widow of the late Mr Adams, naval and military outfitter, Plymouth, had kindly remitted contributions amount- ing to £ 100 to the institution. Payments amounting to £ 1,250 having been made on various lifeboat establishments, the proceed- ings terminated. LIFEBOAT GIFT.— A gentleman, under the initials of A. B., re- siding in Cheltenham, has presented £ 300 to the National Lifeboat Institution, to enable it to establish a lifeboat on the coast in memory of his deceased wife, after whom the boat is to be named. About six years ago the cost of a lifeboat of a similar class was given to the institution by W. M'Kerrell, living in the neighbour- ing city of Bath. That boat was stationed at Beaton Carew, on the coast of Durham, and has since been the means of rescuing the following shipwrecked crews:— Brig Eliza, of Middlesboro', 7 men; brig Mayflower, of Newcastle, 8; brig Providence, of Shields, 8; bark Robert Watson, of Sunderland, 5; and brig Regalia, of Whitby, 7— total 35 men. On learning of the service of the lifeboat in April last, Mr M'Kerrell handed to the institu- tion a contribution of £ 10, and stated how very much gratified he was that the boat had providentially been the means of saving so many lives from shipwreck, and that those services had been per- formed without a single accident occurring to her brave crew. ROYAL DEE YACHT CLUB REGATTA.— On Saturday, Aug 1, the shores of the River Dee at Parkgate were the scene of unusur ' bustle consequent upon the festivities of this regatta, which tool? place under the management of the officers and members of the Royal Dee Yacht Club. At this part the Dee is about five miles wide, and the view across the river of the ancient towns of Flint and its old castle, Bagilt, Mostyn, and other places situated on the shore, with the green fields and noble chain of Welsh moun- tains, combine to form a really charming scene. There was a time when Parkgate boasted of its annual sailing matches, but, although the race of fishermen belonging to the place are as hardy as ever, 17 years have been allowed to elapse since the last aquatic sports. There was a large gathering of people. On the Dee there were a large number of sailing boats, and these, toge- ther with the flaeship and other yachts, were dressed out with bunting. The sailing matches commenced at half- past eleven a. m. The flagship, the Lark, belonging to Thos. H. Dixon, the honorary secretary, was moored to the south of the boat house, or Pengwern Arms, the marine station of the club. Jonathan Grindrod, of Leighton House, officiated as commodore, and Henry Melling as vice- commodore. The sailing ceurse was from the flag- ship to a flagboat off Gay ton Cottage, to a flagboat to the westward, to a flagboat at the south end of Parkgate, ending at the flag vessel. The first race was for a silver cup of £ 10 value, for yachts under 8 tons. The entries were as follow:— Victorine cutter, J. Grind- rod ; Princess Mary, H. Melling ; and the Wireworm, yawl rig, H. Fenton of Flint. The Victorine came in first, winning by 70 seconds; and the Princess Mary next; the latter is a three- masted latfceen- rigged vessel. This regatta being held at Parkgate, limited the yacht race to 8 tons, as there is not sufficient water over the banks for larger class vessels; but it is contemplated in the sailing matches of the Royal Dee Club to hold them at the mouth of the Dee, making Hilbre Island, which is most pictu- resquely situated, the principal station, where there is plenty of water at all times of tide. The fishermen's sailing boat races were well contested, and won by the Jane, S. Mealor; John and Mary, W. Brierley; Lizzy Jane, R. Matthews; and Champion, J. Mealor. The ladies' prize for gentlemen amateurs was taken by BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 9, 1863. the Lady Constance ( four oars) of the Chester Royal Rowing Club. The pair- oared race was won by the Larks' punt. The whole of the arrangements were exceedingly satisfactory. There was a dinner at the Pengwern Arms, to which a number of gentlemen sat down, including the committee, and the prizes were presented to the winners. CHELSEA REGATTA.— This regatta, under the management of Mr John Davis, in pair- oared boats, took place on Monday, Aug 3, with a very satisfactory termination. Each waterman, as in former years, took a landsman, and the following were the results of the racing:— First heat: From buoys moored oft' the Swan round a boat off Cremorne, return down the Middlesex shore, round a boat moored off the Swan, and finish at the King's Arms. H. Cole and J. Randall 1, H. Blake and J. Hewitt 2, C. Blake and J. Poyr. ter 3. It was a good start, Blake and Hewitt taking a slight lead. Cole and Randall came up with them above Caao- gan Pier, and they rowed oar and oar to Battersea Bridge, where the later took the lead, kept it ever after, and won by two lengths.— Second heat: From buoys moored off the Swan, along the same route, down the Middlesex shore, round a boat moored off the Chelsea College, and finish at the Yorkshire Grey. D. Cole and G. Drewitt 1, G. Shepherd and W. Johnson 2, G. Win- gate and T. Brown 3. It was a very fine heat. Shepherd and Johnson took a lead of half a length, but the whole party were soon afterwards level, till Cadogan, where Cole and Drewit became first, and soon afterwards increasing their lead, won by a couple of lengths only, the race being very hardly contested all through. — Third heat: From the Swan, round a boat off the College, up the Middlesex shore, round a boat moored off Cremorne, and finish at the Magpie and " Stump. G. Shepherd and W. Johnson I, C. Blake and J. Poynter 2, H. Blake and J. Hewitt 0, G. Win- fate and T. Brown 0. Immediately after the start Shepherd and ohnson came away with the lead, kept it, and won easily. Blake and Poynter and Blake and H. Hewitt maintained a smart race for second place for some distance.— Final heat: From Battersea Bridge, round a boat off the College, up round a boat off Cremorne, and finish at the Adam and Eve. G. Shepherd and W. Johnson 1, D. Cole and G. Drewitt 2, H. Cole and J. Randall 0, C. Blake and J. Poynter 0. They were all level at the bridge, and went away well together. The race between Shepherd and Johnson and Cole and Drewitt was throughout very severe, the winners * aking the lead by degrees, and only coming in first by a length 1 a half. M r W. Wood, of the Adam and Eve, Lombard- street, Chelsea, was the treasurer. BERMONDSEY REGATTA.— The 29th annual regatta, under the able management of A. Grac « , cam e off on Tuesday, Aug 4, for a new boat for the first man, and £ 4, £ 3, £ 2, £ 1 10s, and £ 1 for the other five respectively, the course being the whole front of the town, twice round. The following were the results of the heats:— First heat: J. Creamer 1, T. Pearce 2, F. Brown 3. Pearce took a decided lead, and held it for 200 yards, when Creamer chal- lenged him, and after a sharp neck and neck race for the next 100 yards went into first place, where he continued the rest of the • way, winning by some dozen lengths. Brown being about six lengths astern of Pearce at the finish.— Second heat: R. Davis 1, T. Wallace 2, J. Banks 3. Wallace and Banks both got away before Davis, and rowed very well for a quarter of a mile to- gether, when Davis, who as before stated was last, began to come up; in the course of the next 100 yards they were all three level, and they thus rowed for some distance, when Davis shot ahead, and soon led by two lengths, Wallace following his example, and leaving Banks two lengths behind him. These respective positions were maintained to the finish, Davis winning by three lengths ; Wallace that distance ahead of Banks.— Third heat: T. Wallace 1, T. Pearce 2, J. Banks 0, F. Brown 0. Wallace left the others at the start, and won as he liked, the others being all far distant from one another at the finish.— Fourth heat: R. Davis 1, J. Creamer 2, T. Pearce 3, T. Wallace 4. It was a very good race for half the distance, in which each man alternately led; but in making the last turn Davis and Creamer left the others, and went home as they pleased, Davis winning by six lengths.— Final heat: R. Davis 1, J. Creamer 2. Davis at the start took the lead and soon led by three lengths, but Creamer before the first turn had picked him up considerably. In coming up in the slack, Creamer had so considerably neared him that in passing under Cherry Gardens Pier Creamer's nose was level with his opponent's rowlocks, but not having room to pass him without a foul, he fell behind again. In going down he again shot up to his oppo- nent's rowlocks, and again fell astern, and towards the latter part of the race Davis put on a spurt and came in first at Mill Stairs a winner by six lengths. VICTORIA DOCKS REGATTA.— The fifth annual regatta of this place took place on Monday, Aug 3, between six free watermen and lightermen of the vicinage, for a new boat and sundry money prizes. The distance was from the East India Dock Buoy down round a boat moored below the Victoria Dock up, and finish at the dock, twice round. First heat: J. Prout 1, J. Beckett, sen, dis; G. Carter dr. Carter did not appear at the post, but Beckett without any signal started off and rowed over the course, leaving Prout at the starting place, where he remained to the end of Beckett's performance, the latter being disqualified for not abiding by the manager's orders. Second heat: J. Beckett, sen, 1; H. Hughes 2, J. Jeffries 3. They all got off beautifully toge- ther, and rowed a dead level race to the boat, when Hughes, putting on a spurt, left the others and soon led by a length, but rowing against the tide- way instead of in the slack, Beckett passed him, and after a fine race between all three boats, came in first by a length, Jeffries half that distance be- hind Hughes. Third heat: J. Prout 1, H. Hughes 2, J. Jeffries 0. Prout won as he liked, although his position was menaced by Hughes very near home. Hughes and Jeffries rowed a hard race for second place, the latter being defeated for it by a length.— Fourth heat: T. Beckett 1, J. Prout 2, H. Hughes 0, J. Jeffries 0. Beckett soon after the start ( Prout being level with him) left the other two, who had a good race all to themselves. The first two then rowed in the positions above described for a mile, Beckett being unable to shake his opponent off in that dis- tance, but as thev neared the boat Prout fell behind, and Beckett eventually won'by a couple of lengths, although his opponent spurted up to his quarter several times.— Final heat: J. Beckett 1, J. Prout 2. Prout, soon after getting away, left his opponent, and in the course of the next hundred yards had cleared himself, soon after leading by three or four lengths. This lead he main- tained to near the rounding boat, when Beckett left off rowing a few strokes, but again went to his work, and gradually approach- ing his man, collared and passed him at the docks, going ahead as he pleased. These relative positions were never altered, Beckett increasing his lead as he proceeded, winning by three lengths. DIEPPE REGATTA.— These races commenced August 2. The sports of the day consisted of a variety of matches, in which ships' boats, lugger sails, and yachts of all nations were engaged, but the principal interest centred in the four- oared cutter match, open to the world, and for which eight crews entered, viz, four from Dieppe, one from Havre, two from Brighton, and Bain's crew of Lambeth. The first three matches having been very well contested, preparations for the fourth were speedily made. The distance to be rowed was from oft' the Grand Pavilion to buoys moored off the pier head, thence to buoys moored about two miles further down, making a rowing of nearly five miles. No sooner was the flag lowered than the oars of all the crews plunged into the water, and the eight boats got off in capital style. The Lambeth crew took the lead, maintained it throughout, and won the match in gallant style by ten or twelve boats' lengths. One of the Dieppe boats was second. The names of the winning crew were G. Green ( 1), W. Bell ( 2), J. Mackinney ( 3), R. Bain ( 4), and J. Hill ( cox). Without leaving their boat the crew was joined by E. Carter and A. Hopkins, and rowed directly to the station to start for the six- oared match, which was for a sum of money and a gold me- dallion. The competitors for the match soon got into position, and an even start was effected, but, as in the former instance, the Lambeth crew took the lead and won the race easily by about eight or nine lengths, amidst the cheers of the English residents. The prizes were presented to the winners by the Prefect of Dieppe, at the Grand Pavilion, his worship congratulating the Englishmen on their easy victory. The boat they rowed in was built by Mr E. Wyld, of Lambeth. The same crew are about to com- pete for prizes in Belgium and other parts of the Continent. PUTNEY AND ROEHAMPTON REGATTA.— This annual regatta for money prizes came off'on Monday Aug. 3, in three heats, the course being from Putney Bridge, up round a boat moored off Barn Elms, down round a boat moored off Wandswortli- fields, up and finish at the centre arch of Putney Bridge. The fol- lowing were the results:— First heat: G. Cordery 1, W. Robinson 2, John Robinson 0, A. Phelps 0. Cordery came away with a slight lead, followed by Phelps and John Robinson ; the two latter fouled at the rounding boat, and Phelps broke his thowl. Cordery went further ahead, and W. Robinson became a food second.— Second heat: J. Green 1, James Robinson 2, ohn Robinson sen 0, W. Cobb 0. They all four continued pretty level to the first distance boat, when Green went well ahead, followed by the second man, the third falling much astern at the end of the race.— Final heat: J. Green 1, G. Cor- dery 2,2 James Robinson 3, W. Robinson 4. After a false start W. Robinson took the lead, followed by James Robinson, and the former sheered so much that there was nearly a foul between them. W. Robinson held the lead to the lower distance boat, where he was cut out by Green, who came up first, fol- lowed by James Robinson, but the men keeping too close to the Middlesex side had to thread the intricacies of a quantity of craft which they should have gone outside of, one or two of them abso- lutely unshipping and going through a mere hole between the side of one barge and the stern of another. They continued in the same order to the upper distance boat, and so finished, Green coming in three lengths ahead. A complaint has since reached us that there are two or three other men entitled to row in this wager who were excluded. LAMBETH REGATTA,— Under the management of E. Brun- well, Mr N. Clark being treasurer, the forty- third annual Lam- beth Regatta passed off very satisfactorily. The race was, as usual, in pair- oared boats for money prizes, and the following were the results of the three heats:— First heat— Course, Lambeth New Bridge up to Nine Elms, down through Westminster Bridge, np and finish at Lambeth New Bridge : W. Perry and H. May- nard, sen, 1, H. Maynard, jun, and R. Wilson 2, T. Pocock and G. Kipperi 0. They all rowed well together for fifty yards, when the winners gradually drew ahead, followed by Maynard and Wil- son, the others never standing a chance, and won by four lengths. — Second heat— Course, same as in first heat: J. Perry and J. Dudley 1, D. Eld and J. Eld 2, E. Rolls and S. Perry 0. The winners, after all rowing one hundred yards level, began to draw away, followed by the second pair. They increased their lead as they proceeded, and eventually won by two lengths.— Final heat— Course, from Vauxhall Bridge down to Westminster Bridge, up round the Swan, Nine Elms, and finish at Lambeth Bridge : J. Perry and J. Dudley 1, N. Perry and H. Maynard 2, D. Eld and J. Eld 3, H. Maynard and R. Wilson 4. There was a good race between the first two pairs, who were level for some dis- tance after the start; Perry and Maynard then got a slight lead, and held it to Nine Elms, when J. Perry and Dudley went to the front, and after a smart race all the way home won by a length clear, the fourth pair being nowhere at the finish. STRAND ROWING CLUB.— The members of this club rowed a four- oared race on Tuesday, Aug 4, for good prizes, the course being from Putney to Barnes Railway Bridge. The Venus, Capt Styles, who was the umpire, accompanied the race with a large party, and the results were as under, all the boats receiving some compensation:— T. Mahon, G. Wakefield, J. Gardner, W. Law- rence, E. Snelson, cox ( white), 1; E. Hudson, D. Beresford, H. Bennett, W. Steel. T. Crosley, cox ( red), 2 ; J. Hirst, F. Patter- son, T. Denton, E. Dowling, Gibbs, jun, cox ( orange), 3; G. Mason, C. Gardner, W. Jones, J. Waller, H. Burton, cox ( blue), 4. After several false starts White took a slight lead, followed by Red and Blue, Orange being hampered at the start. The same order continued past the Star, and to opposite the London Boat House, where White was leading by a length and a half, » Red being the same distance ahead of Blue. From here the last two boats fell much behind, and, consequently, two races were going on at once. White and Red contending fiercely for first prize, and Blue and Orange for third money, the two preserving their rela- tive positions till they reached Craven Cottage, where Orange had rowed down Blue and acquired the third place. Meanwhile, although Red strove very hard to wrest the pride of place from White, the latter went further and further in front, passed under - Hammersmith Bridge leading by two lengths, and won by four, psd were six or seven lengths ahead of Orange; Blue three lengths behind them. SURREY ROWING CLUB.— The members of this club rowed a four- oared race, from Chiswick to Putney, on Saturday, Aug 1, the following being the order in which the crews ar- rived at the winning post:— J. Ellis, W. Shepherd, H. Oliver, C. Greenshield, G. Chapman ( cox) ( white) 1; J. Griffith, H. Cooper, T. Dighton, H. Hill, J. Wessell ( cox) ( red) 2; C. May, J. Budge, R. Cox, H. Uncles, R. Bruce ( cox) ( blue) 3. They started evenly, and continued so for a short dis- tance, when the Blue crew came to grief, owing to one of their men landing a shell fish, and they stood no further chance. The race between the others continued good, Red leading through the bridge, and White pressing; them very gamely until the Crab Tree; here the Red crew had drawn nearly two lengths, and thinking the race in their hands, eased up, and White collaring them, led well at Craven, and won by three lengths besides their own. YACHT MATCH ON THE HUMBER.— A match took place on the Humber on Saturday, Aug 1, between the following yachts of the Royal Yorkshire Club:— The Banshee, 29 tons, Mr E. Squire, jun ; the Shamrock, 12 tons, Capt Cator; and the Pearl, 9 tons, Mr J. Hoare. The match was for £ 20, and the course was round the Bull Float on the Humber, and back to the Corporation Pier. The start took place at 11 a. m., and after an exciting contest the match closed in favour of the Shamrock, the Banshee being second. On the conclusion of the match, several members of the club and their friends adjourned to a dinner at the Victoria Hotel, the mayor ( Mr W. H. Moss) presiding LEANDEE CLUB SCULLERS RACE.— Owing to several with- drawals, the only competitors for this race on Thursday evening, Aug 6, were Mr H. N. Monck and Mr E. O. Berens, who rowed from Putney to Hammersmith. Mr Monck came away with the lead from the Middlesex station, and keeping it throughout won easily. TEMPLE, ST DUNSTAN'S, ST CLEMENT DANES, AND ST MARY- LE- STRAND APPRENTICES' REGATTA.— This regatta will be rowed for on Monday, Aug 31, by apprentices of the above districts, for a coat and silver badge, and money prizes, to be decided in three heats.

The Venus, Capt Styles, is engaged by the club to accompany the race, leaving the Temple at one o'clock, and will afterwards proceed on an excursion to Richmond. SOUTHAMPTON REGATTA.— Mr Editor : In your impression of the 12th of July last an error occurred which I trust you will correct. In the report of the Southampton Town Regatta the Algerine ( 10 tons, winner of the first prize) is stated to have been designed and built by the owner, Mr Rosaman. I beg to say the yacht is my own draft and build, differing essentially from those ofMrD. Hatcher or any other builder in these waters.— Yours, & C, HENRY W. PAYNE. Sam Short of Bermondsey will row G. Cannon of Blackwall from the Half- way House to a boat moored off Blackwall Stairs, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side. To row in six weeks from the first deposit. A match can be made any night next week at the Oriental Music Hall, Poplar. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICAN YACHT GIPSY.— The yacht Gipsy, belonging to Mr Anthony W. Morse, of New York Yacht Club, arrived at Cowes on Thursday morning, Aug 6, from New York via Queenstown. She has somewhat the appearance of the America, with tremendous spars. PRIDE OF WESTMINSTER ROWING CLUB.— The third four- oared race of the season of this club for silver cups will take place on Tuesday, Sept 1, from old Battersea Bridge to Lambeth Bridge. To start at six p. m. precisely. Four members of the East London Union Rowing Club will row four of the Mill Stairs Club from Putney to Mortlake, for £ 20 a side.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP. MACE AND RYALL.— For this aft'air the money came to hand at the last moment. The men must stake £ 5 a side again on Friday, Aug 14, before five o'clock, and we take this opportunity of impressing on Mace the necessity of employing punctual mes- sengers. When an hour is named for receiving deposits at our office we expect that hour to be observed. BOB TRAVERS AND JEM DILLON, £ 400. These well- known boxers intend to lead off in the list of highly interesting matches which have been so long on the tapis, and will open the ball during the present week on a spot which has been carefully selected for the occasion, and they will be followed during the next four months by other well- known couples, includ- ing Mace and Goss, who will shortly contest for £ 1,000; Mace and Ryall for the Championship and £ 400; Rook and Reardon for £ 200; Baldock and Gannon for £ 200; Peter Morris and Morris Roberts for £ 200; and last, but not least, by Heenan and Tom King for £ 2,000; so that though the first half of the year lo63 has been comparatively barren of interesting events, there will be no lack of amusement, and that too of the highest class, in the closing few months to gratify the most rabid lover of milling ; and sin- cerely do we trust that each match may be fought out on its merits, and that nothing may occur in any way to mar the plea- sure of the Fancy. The final deposit of £ 20 a side for this match was made on Thursday last at Bob Travers's own house, the Sun and Thirteen Cantons, Castle- street, when there was a strong muster to ascertain how the cat jumped; but Alec Keene, on the part of Bob, and Nat Langham, as the Mentor of the Irish lad, were as mute as mustard- pots, and not a word could be elicited from either as to the direction in which the con- templated excursion would take place. Both men have now been some time in training, and are reported in first- rate fettle. Dil- lon, who on previous occasions has been trusted too much to his own resources in the course of his work, and consequently has in- variably come to the scratch short of condition, has for this his most important mill been placed under the watchful and expe- rienced squinter of the celebrated Bob Fuller, and we are informed feels now for the first time in his career what it is to be really fit. Bob Travers, who can at all times be trusted to take care of him- self, is no less up to the mark and full of confidence, so that neither will have any excuse on the score of health for not doing his best. That the match is a very even one no one can doubt. Each in turn has fought a desperate battle with the game Patsy Reardon, to whose superior physique each has had to succumb, though not without making every effort to ward off inevitable fate. Among the judges Bob is considered to have the pull in point of science, which is counterbalanced by the youth and greater strength of Dillon. As to gameness, both are known as no flinchers, and all concur in thinking that whoever pulls it off will have to put up with a much larger share of pepper than falls to the lot of most winners. It will doubtless be remembered that on many occasions we have had to warn Bob Travers against the dangers]^ of the get down system, which he adopted in many of his battles. In his last encounter this habit was far less perceptible, and we trust that in his forthcoming tourney he will bear our warnings in mind, and meet his man face to face and toe to toe, in the admirable manner in which his earliest battles were fought. The excuse urged on former occa- sions, that he was overweighted, had a shadow of justice in it, as undoubtedly Bob Brettle, Old Mike, Jem Mace, and Patsy Rear- don were far bigger men than himself, but in the match now on hand he can have no such palliation to offer should he forget him- self. The men are to go to scale at Jack Patton's, Coach and Horses, Bedfordbury, to- morrow, between twelve and two, when neither is to exceed 9st 121b.; and the whereabouts can then be ascertained, as also at Nat Langham's, Mitre, Upper tit Martin's- lane; Alec Keene's, Three Tuns, Moor- street; and Bob Travers's own house. The ring will be kept by Inspector Duncan, assisted by Bendoft', Jack Rooke, Mike Madden, Fred Dickenson, Dan Collins, Patsy Daly, Young Baldock, and Young Hartley. It is to be hoped these men will stick together and do their duty, and see that no person is allowed within the inner ring without a ticket; and we may as well caution other members of the P. B. A. that if they obtain whips by any means, which have been awarded to the above pugilists, unless the latter are absent from the fight or incapable of doing their duty, they will not be paid for them. We make this remark in consequence of men hav- ing surreptitiously obtained the whips on former occasions, and then demanded payment from us, thus throwing a burden on the funds of the Association which they are now in no condition to bear, seeing that for a very long period the outgoings have been very heavy, and the income nil. In conclusion we can only ex- press our hopes that this, the first of the great events, will prove the forerunner of a list of battles worthy to take the highest rank in the pages of Ring chronology, and that it may once more call the attention of the ring- going public to a sport which must to a great extent have become rusty in their minds during the past twelve months. We are particularly requested to assure the Corinthians that this will not be an aquatic expedition. Dillon will start for the mill from Jack Patton's, but will hold a levee on Monday, at Nat Langham's. Bob Travers will start from his own house. _ HARRY ALLEN AND J. COYNE ( CRUTCHLEY'S NOVICE).— This match, at 9st 121b, for £ 15 a side, stood to come off on Tuesday, Aug 4. On Monday they went to scale, at Rook's, Whittington and Cat, Birmingham, and came within the stipulated weight, both being in first- rate condition. Coyne having won the toss for choice of place, named Kingswood Common. The morning was wet and chilly, but notwithstanding this drawback, there was a good attendance. It was fully understood that Young Holden of Walsall was to act as referee, and the ring was pitched, but only to be pulled up again, as Holden, for some ridiculous cause, was objected to, and nearly two hours were wasted, and no satisfactory arrangement could be made. At the expiration of this time one of the Coventry constabulary came up, and a move was made to Wolverhampton, where it was anticipated that the difficulty of getting a referee would be got over; but on applying to a well- know boniface of that place, he objected to take office. Another was afterwards made, with like ill- success, and after a tedious and wet, useless journey, all returned home. At a meeting on Thurs- day an angry discussion ensued, Allen stating he was ready and willing to fight, and Coyne saying the same, and claiming a right again to name the place, to which Allen objected. Coyne s backer offered to make it up to £ 40 or £ 50 a side, and fight in the London district, but as yet no arrangement has been come to by the men. BARNEY SHEPPARD AND YOUNG WOLF.— These men, who are totally unknown to fame, fought on Monday, Aug 3, for £ 10 a side, at catch weight, on the home circuit. Wolf, who was about list, had the advantage of being much the heavier, and on enter- ing the ring had for seconds Dooney Harris and Dehaney, Job Edwards and Jem Exhall waiting on Sheppard. From the com- mencement to the finish it was a rough and ready affair, there not being the least science displayed by either. Wolf gained the first knock down blow in the second round, and likewise ob- tained blood with a rattling left- hander on the nose in the fifteenth. In the whole there were forty- four rounds in 47 minutes, when Sheppard declined to continue the contest, having had quite enough of it. Although there was no skill manifested, still the contest, while it lasted, was fought in a very spirited manner, and Wolf is looked upon as one who is likely to be heard of again. BRICK LAD AND LYONS.— Our Sheffield reporter informs us that these men fought on Tuesday, Aug 4, and that the battle, after a gallant struggle, ended in a draw. He has neglected, how- ever, to give us any particulars as to the number of rounds, or the time the battle lasted. The money shall be sent to him as re- quested. The Brick Lad will meet his Sheffield and Barnsley friends at Mr Hall's, the Moon Inn, Silver- street, Sheffield, on Thursday evening, Aug 13. It is, we understand, the intention of most of those that have stood money in the stake, although not a winner, to present him with the stake for the indomitable courage that he displayed on Wednesday, Aug 5. The " hand over" will take place at Mr L. Bertie's, Rose and Crown, Peel- street, Barnsley. A fight took place on Aug 4, on Sowerby Moor, in the Leeds district, between Jem Bcott of Hunslet Moor and Duke of Wort- ley, for £ 10 a side, which, after a gallant struggle, was won by Duke in nine rounds and thirty- seven minutes. MILNES AND SMITH.— The referee ( R. H. Gledhill) in this fight writes us word he decided against Smith because he seized Milnes below the belt while wrestling for the fall in the last round. It may be remembered in our last we stated that we had not been informed on what grounds he had decided. This question being now set at rest, we will send the money to Milnes on receiving his address. NORTH AND WOODWARD.— We have received a letter from one William North, demanding the stakes in a match with George Woodward. We do not know of such a match, nor are we stake- holders for it. FIGHTS TO COME.— At the earnest request of many readers, in- cluding most of the leading pugs, we have resumed our list of " fights to come" at the head of this column— a list which we have for some time omitted on prudential grounds, which now no longer prevail; or, at any rate, have proved to be of no avail. We still omit the days of battle. DICK FELLOWS AND COOKEY.— These Birmingham men are matched to fight, for £ 10 a side, Cookey to be catch weight and Fellows 8st 101b, to come off on Sept 1. £ 1 a side is down, and they meet at Mr Bowers's, Leopard Inn, Goode- street, on Mon- day, Aug 10, to draw up articles. BURGESS AND BOB SMITH.— We have received £ 2 10s a side and articles between these men, who are matched to fight for £ 25 a side, on Sept 15, in the Liverpool district. The next deposit of £ 2 10s a side is to be made at Jem Clark's, Houghton Abbey, Houghton- street, on the list inst. HAMMER DAVIS AND W. FOLEY.— These Birmingham men make their final deposit for their match at catch weight, for £ 10, at Mr Eickerby's, the Anchor, Sheep- street, on Saturday evening, Aug 8. They contend on Monday, Aug 10. The whereabouts may be known at Rickerby's, and other sporting houses. BANDOFF AND JACOBS.— A match has been made, and £ 2 a side staked in our hands, between Ben Bandoff and Myer Jacobs ( alias Australian Jackson) to fight at 12st 71b, for £ 10 a side, on Sept 8. The next deposit of £ 2 a side is to be made at Jack Hicks's on Thursday, Aug 13. Goss AND MACE.— Jem Mace is to stake £ 30 to Joe Goss's £ 20 on Thursday, Aug 13, at Mr Tupper's, Blue Boar's Head, Long Acre, when the toss for the last deposit is to take place. Goss will beat Mr Tupper's, Boar's Head, Long Acre, this evening, Aug 8. MARSDEN AND COOPER'S BIG ONE.— These men have again staked £ 2 10s each. They must forward like sums by Friday, Aug 14. Marsden will be at Bob Travers's on Monday, Aug 10. WALKER ASD WYNES.— We have received a further deposit of £ 5 a side for this match. The next deposit of £ 5 a side must be made on Wednesday, Aug 12, at MrL. Law's, Park- road, Liverpool. MORRIS AND ROBERTS.— These men have again staked £ 5 a side with us, and must be prepared with like stakes next Thursday. MORRIS AND TYSON.— These men having again posted £ 5 each must do the same on Friday, Aug 14, and each succeeding fort- night till Oct 15. LEAD AND HOLDEN.— These lads having made good £ 210s each, are to stake similar amounts on Thursday, Aug 13, at Alec Keene's, Three Tuns, Moor- street. BALDOCK AND GANNON.— These men have again staked £ 5 a side, and must make a further deposit of £ 5 a side on Thursday, Aug 13, at Jesse Smith's, Proud Peacock, Maiden- lane. ROOK AND REARDON.— These men must stake £ 5 a side in our hands on Friday, Aug 14. We cannot insert challenges from unknown men unless pro- perly authenticated. Neither can we in future insert acceptances of challenges where no address is given by the challenger, unless under peculiar circumstances. Nobby Hall of Birmingham is surprised that Dan Crutchley should challenge him at 9st 3lb, when he knows his weight is 9st 61b, but in order to make a match he will tight him at 9st 51b, for £ 50 a side; or if this does not suit he will fight Peter Millard of Bristol at 9st 61b, for the same amount. If a deposit is sent to Bell's Life it will be immediately covered. Jem Pox of Birmingham is surprised that Jerry Hawkes has not covered the deposit in our hands after challenging him. He is still open to make the match on the same terms, or he will fight any other man at 8st, for the like sum. By covering the deposit of £ 2 in our hands, and sending articles to Mr Bowers, Leopard Inn, Goide- street, Birmingham, a match can be made. Jem Smith of Derby will fight Dan Hanmgan of Barnsley, at 8st 81b, or Jack Smith of Sheffield, at catch weight, for £ 20 or £ 25 a side, in three months from the first deposit. A deposit sent to Bell's Life, and articles to Smith, at J. Cowlishaw's, Prince of Wales, London- road, Derby, will ensure a match. First come first served. Bwaddy Rees not being satisfied with his late fight with Young Mahers, will fight him again, according to his own challenge, for not less than £ 15 a side, and as much more as his friends like to post. The match can be made by calling any time at T. Baker's, Bridge Tavern, Thomas- street, Bristol. Dooney Harris wishes to remind Jesse Hatton that he said three weeks ago he would make a match at catch weight for £ 50. The time having expired, Harris hopes that Hatton will at once send a deposit to Bell's Life and articles to Beckwith's, Post Office Stores, Kennington- road, Lambeth, and settle the match. Charley Ball of Hull will fight King Ostler of Norwich at 8st 81b, for £ 25 or £ 50 a side. A deposit sent to Bell's Life and articles to C. Ball, at the Leeds Arms, High- street, Hull, will ensure a match. Harry Cook of Whitechapel will fight A. Standley of New Cross if 8tandley will be 9st 101b, for £ 15 or £ 25 a side. A deposit sent to Bell's Life and articles to Mr Beckwith, Post Office Stores, Kennington- road, will insure a match. Bingey Rose is anxious to know whether Young Crutchley is going to cover his £ 2, and whether i-. e intends match making, as he is tired of waiting. S. Tiley of Hammersmith, hearing that Jack Conner is not satisfied in his late match, will give him another chance, and fight him £ 25 to £ 20. Bob Davis will fight Bob Vaux at 7st 81b or catch weight, for £ 10 a side or his own sum. Money ready at Mr Moore's, Queen's Arms, Aston- i'oad. i A committee of gentlemen, assisted by the leading members of the P. R. of Birmingham, intend giving their old friend Joe Ware- ham ( who is in trouble through acting as second in a late fight) a bumping benefit, at Mrs Simmons's, the King's Arms Inn, Baggott- street, Birmingham, on Monday, Aug 10, when it is hoped the admirers of the art of self defence will honour them with their support, to enable them to render his wife and family a little pecuniary assistance. All the fistic talent of the town and neighbourhood will appear. The wind- up between Bob Brettle and Bill Ryall. Jack Hartley and Jemmy Norton take a benefit OH Saturday, Aug 8, at Mr Oughton's Mechanics' Arms, Mill wall. The wind- up between Norton and Hartley. Charley Ball will be obliged to those parties who took colours of him for his late fight with Turner if they would forward the needful to him at Mr Brown's, Leeds Arms. Jack Haley will take a benefit on Tuesday, Aug 11, at Mr T. Glancy's, the Jacob's Well, Barbican. Ryall takes a benefit on the night before Goss and Mace fight. PEDESTRIANISM. ADVERTISEMENTS.

BENEFIT FOR JEM MACE TO- MORROW ( MONDAY), AUG 10.— Hackney Wick Grounds, on Monday, Aug 10, will be the rallying point and centre of attraction among all classes of sportsmen. The occasion will be specially used for the benefit of Jem Mace; and it is refreshing to note that it is genuine in " good intent" to assist one who boldly throws down the gauntlet to all comers, whatever country or colour, and whatever weight. Worthy of such an occasion is the programme set down, and another exciting event comes off which has never been witnessed before in any public grounds, namely, the ceremony of " the weighing'' of two of the first- rates of the Ring, Bob Travers and Jem Dillon, pre- vious to their great tourney for £ 400. Then will the visitors have a treat in seeing the perfection of the " trained man," the large platform being the stage for so interesting a scene in a pugilistic drama—" Be in time, be in time." It is not necessary to give the names of the sparrers ; all of note— Alec Keene, Brown, Crockett, Welsh, Langham, Rowe, Tyler, Gollagher, Dan Morris, cum multis aliis, will appear— set to, and the unseemly and annoying system of " capping" will be thus rendered unnecessary, and on no account will be allowed. The following are the final arrange- ments of Mr Wm. Price, the respected manager, whose name alone is a " tower of strength'' for a day's sport worthy of all to see. Bob Travers and Jem Dillon will weigh at twe o'clock. At half- past two will be the first heat for the Half Mile Handicap, with an immense entry, including the first- rates. [ For starts, names, handicaps, heats, & c, see pedestrian column.] At five o'clock precisely, immediately after the final hent of the racing, the first pair will enter the roped arena, the veritable ropes and stakes of the P. B. A., pitched in the centre of the grounds as* in a " real mill"— they will be champions of old, and so con- tinue, each pair first- rates of the present or bygone days, until half- past seven, when the grand wind- up will bring the finish of what has never been witnessed at any other time, the ap pearance of Tom King and Jem Mace, who, in proper costume, will again contend in mimic warfare, both having engagements unprecedented, and stakes depending of £ 3,400 and the Champion Belt of England. Mr Baum has made increased accommodation; the inner ring will be select, and the public generally should be reminded that Dillon and Travers, according to articles, must weigh at the exact time specified in the programme. A return ticket for 6d on the North London Railway sets passengers down at the door. Verily it will be worth a visit to Hackney Wick to- morrow ( Monday), Aug 10. Bill Page, the celebrated pigeon shot, of the Grapes, Gerrard- street, Soho, returns his best thanks to the gentry and sporting public for their liberal and unbounded patronage since his instal- lation as maitre d'hotel. Page will not speak; of his own renown as a marksman in the field, believing that a " bird in hand is always worth two in a bush ;" and having now but one object to aim at, namely, the supplying of the choicest and best articles in the shape of wines, spirits, liquors, & c, at a reasonable tariff, he hopes to se- cure continued success through the support of his friends ' ana cus- tomers. The Grapes will be found a complete West End forum for obtaining information upon sporting topics of every denomi- nation, comprising shooting, racing, hunting, fishing, yachting, aquatic, and the P. R. On the premises are a magnificent billiard room, with an elegantly- fitted conservatory, and a compact saloon for social chit chat. G.

PEDESTRIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK. CANNON AND JACKO.— On Monday, August 3, J. Baum's Ground was well attended to witness this walk of three miles, for £ 5 a side, Cannon having to allow his opponent 100 yards. After the umpires and the referee had been chosen the pedestrians came to the mark, havingto make the circuit of the course 21 times to com- plete the distance. On taking up their respective positions, Jacko was placed the given distance in advance, and on being started they went rattling away in good style. Cannon, from the moment they had fairly settled to their pace, began to gain on his oppo- nent in a marked manner, and had so improved his position that when they went by for the completion of the first mile he had taken the lead. Having exhibited such a decided turn of speed, the friends of Cannon imagined their man would not further ex- perience the slightest difficulty with his opponent, but in this they were wrong, as Jacko was not. by any means to be so easily disposed of as anticipated. Cannon had to put on the steam at the highest possible pressure to cut down the distance between himself and opponent in the admirable manner in which he did, while Jacko, from the advantage of the start in his favour, was enabled now and then just to ease off a little, so that when he had been overhauled by his opponent he was found to be far from being " used up.'' As Cannon, during the performance of the second mile, made the most strenuous efforts to spurt away from his man, so as to make a wide gap between them, Jacko also, to the astonishment of the partizaus of the " great gun," put on some additional power, and away they went, keeping well toge- ther, although in going by for the completion of the second mile Cannon had still the advantage of position. This he maintained during the performance of the third and last mile. Jacko, in the last lap of the distance, finding he had no chance, pulling up and resigning, so that Cannon finished an undisputed winner. THREE HUNDRED YARDS HANDICAP.— This was for a gold pin, and was contested by the undermentioned men:— First heat: Baakins 8 yards start, Thompson 25. The lead was held by Thompson, who won a good race by six yards.— Second heat": Riley 8, Golder 12. This, after a fine struggle, ended in Riley being a winner.— Final heat: Riley 8, Thompson 25. These men being the two winners, had to run off for the prize, when, after a capital race, Thompson, who held the advantage of the lead, went in a fine winner by half a yard. The Four Miles Handicap an- nounced to take place did not come off, being postponed owing to there not being sufficient entries. PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. J. SPENCER V TIME.— On Saturday, August 1, there was a capital attendance on C. Wilson's enclosed ground, to witness the match against time, in which, for a bet of £ 10 to £ 5, J. Spencer had been backed to walk 12 miles backwards in three conse- cutive hours. When the customary officials had been chosen, Spencer came to the starting mark, and on receiving the word of command to " go," commenced his undertaking, and, from the rapid style in which he got over the course, gave the most con- clusive proof he was an old hand at this kirid of performance. The first mile was completed by Spencer in 13min20sec; two miles in 26min 3sec; three miles in 39min 30sec; four miles being accomplished in 49min 35sec, and that with the utmost apparent ease to Spencer, who, when he went by for the com- mencement of the fifth mile, did not exhibit the least signs of fatigue. Spencer continued to pace along in the most plucky and determined manner, the first eight miles of the distance being successfully covered in lh 55min ISsec. While Spencer was performing the ninth and tenth miles it became evident the exertion he had to make was telling on his physical powers, and he was a good deal distressed. Still, he continued the struggle with the " enemy" in the most unflinching manner, and in the end had the satisfaction of bringing the match to a successful issue, the entire distance ( 12 miles) being covered by Spencer in 2h 56min 52sec; thus Time was defeated by 3min 8sec, and of the kind this is to be looked on as a clever feat. MITCHELL AND GREEN.— This was a spin of 100 yards for £ 5 a side, and, in adjusting the preparatory matters, J. Pudney was chosen referee. The men had to go by mutual consent, but it was not until they had remained on the scratch a long while, and had made a great many attempts, that they succeeded in getting fairly away, doing so on the most even terms. Between the pedestrians a well contested struggle ensued, resulting in Green going in a win- ner by half a yard. There was, besides the above, a mile handicap for a silver cup, for which there was a large field of 28 competitors ; but as they were all mere aspirants to fame, it will suffice to say Hall, who received SO yards start, won; Tewson ( 65), who ran remark- ably well up, second. RACE FOR THE FOUR MILES CHAMPION'S CUP.— This prize, given for competition by Mr C. Wilson, the proprietor, and valued at £ 50, was first contended for on Tuesday, the 10th of March last, to celebrate the nuptials of the Prince of Wales, when the famed little Teddy Mills proved the winner. As Mills, however, was not in a position to defend his title to the cup against all chal- lengers, according to the stipulated conditions, he had to resign the handsome trophy, so that it might be again put up to compe- tition. This being done, the second race for the Four Miles Champion's Cup, with additional money prizes,£ 4 for the winner, £ 3 second, £ 2 third, £ 1 fourth, took place here on Monday, August 3, there being present a strong muster of the metro- politan admirers of the sport, among whom the event produced immense interest. When the whole of the preliminaries had been arranged, the following pedestrians, under the superintendence of J. Pudney, the M. C. of the ground, came to the mark, viz, Brunell of Stepney, Jones of Islington, Howse of Stepney, Toddy Ray of Limehouse, Spencer of Huddersfield, Brown of Stratford, Dullieu, Andrews of Holborn, and a " Darkey" called Doefat. It will from this be seen the field consisted of nine competitors, and when the pistol had been fired they bounded off in admirable style, and for the first lap kept well together. Now as the struggle progressed Dullieu, Brown, Spencer, and Doefat began to fall in the rear, and so much did the pace tell on them that when the second mile had been commenced the whole of these pedestrians were found to have pulled up and resigned, therefore taking no further part in the race. The struggle for pre- eminence now lay between Andrews, Brunell, Jones, Ray, and Howse, and on the part of these pedestrians the race was contested in a gallant manner throughout the remainder of the distance. Without lengthening our account by detailing the various changes made in the positions of the competitors, as the lead was first in favour of one and then the other, we may, to be brief, state that on the termination of the distance Harry Andrews went in a winner by 30 yards, Brunell finishing second, Jones third, Howse fourth, and Ray the last of the team. The first mile was run in 4min 50sec, two miles in lOmin 15sec, three miles in 15min 31sec, and the entire distance was accomplished by the winner in 20min 56sec. Between Andrews and Brunell, who, it will be recollected, are old oppo- nents, there was a deal of magnificent running, the old- un again proving too much for his youthful opponent.

CLARKE AND REDFERN.— It appears that the statement made by the backers of Redfern last week, to the effect that he had completed the distance, must have been totally untrue, and there- fore the only decision which can be arrived at is that no match took place, and each man can have his stake on Thursday, Aug 13, at twelve o'clock. Should a fresh match be made, it may be as well to state that we cannot be stakeholders. his youthful opponent has the call, an excellent matchj is sure to be the result, and an opportunity of witnessing what is really first- class " tall walking."

THE KILWINNING ARCHERS.— The members of this society cele- brated their 381st anniversary at Kilwinning on the 30th ult. Ihere was a large number of archers, and tlie targets were fixed at 30. yardsapart. A piece of paper with three rings marked upon it— the first ring counting one, the second two, and the central one three— was fixed to each target, and no shot was of any value to the competitor which did not touch the paper. Mr P. Murdoch, - jMun8° Archers, made the highest score ( 41), and carried off the prize, a very handsome silver wine cup, presented by F. Rossell, E » q, of Kirkland. Then followed sweepstake prizes at 60 yards, at which distance 45 arrows were shot. The highest score was made by Mr P. Murdoch— 188. There was a tie between Mr J.

OPEN COURT CHAMPIONSHIP.— The match which took place at the Belvedere on Monday, August 3, between George Boucher and Edward Bailey for the Open Court Champion's Cup and £ 10 a side, proved very attractive, somewhere about a thousand persons, including nearly all the open court players of the day, as well as the principal supporters of the game, being present. Bailey had recently beaten George Errwood, the then holder of the cup, which gave additional interest to the present match. The first game was won by Boucher, but not at all so easily as to destroy the interest in the play, Bailey being 7 to his opponent's 9, but losing at 7. Boucher had the best of the second came at starting, but was obliged to yield on the post to the persevering play of his oppo- nent. Still Boucher was the favourite at the original odds, 6 to 4, both for the next game and match. Bailey made a good start for the third game, but was overhauled, and kept four behind at the finish, a3 in the first game, and it was evident that the efforts he had made to counteract the severe hitting of his opponent had told upon him. Boucher won the fourth and last game as he liked. The following is the score of the aces:— Boucher, first game: 0 to 1, 2 to 1, 3 to 1, 3 to 1, 3 to 1, 5 to 1, 6 to 1, 6 to 2, 6 to 2, 7 to 2, 7 to 2, 7 to 3, 8 to 3, 9 to 7, 9 to 7, 9 to 7, 10 to 7, 11 to 7 ; third game, 0 to 0,1 to 1, 2 to 5, 2 to 6, 2 to 6, 4 to 6, 4 to 6, 7 to 7, 7 to 7, 11 to 7; fourth game, 0 to 0, 1 to 2, 3 to 2, 4 to 2, 4 to 2, 4 to 2, 4 to 2, 5 to 2, 8 to 2, 9 to 2, 9 to 4,10 to 4,11 to 4.

Bailey made another match with Boucher, to come off on September 14. THE CHAMPION OPEN COURT PLAYER.— We are asked to an- nounce that the friends of George Boucher have determined upon giving him a benefit at the Oval racket court, on Wednesday, August 12. The bill of fare offers immense attraction.

Four money prizes—£ 6, £ 4, £ 2, and £ 1— are also added, which will ensure a splitting contest from end to end.

AUG 3.— The committee of the Surrey Club kept faith with the public in this match, although the North managers ( Broughton Club) were compelled, owing to the non- attendance of some, to bring a weaker team than they could have wished. The following are the results of previous contests:— DATE AND PLACE. 1st 2d inn inn Total. 1857, July 9, j Surrey 226... 32 — 258 At the Oval \ North of England 81... 176 — 257 Surrey won by six wickets. 1857, Aug24, < Surrey 93... 45 — 138 At Sheffield 1 North of England 73... 63 — 136 Burrey won by five wickets. 1858, Aug 2, j Surrey 175... 253 — 428 At the Oval 1 North of England 257... 118 — 375 Surrey won by 53 runs. 1859, Aug 1, S Surrey 189... 169 — 358 At the Oval ( North of England 234... 123 — 357 Surrey won by two wickets. 1859, Aug25, $ Surrey 189... 112 — 301 At Sheffield \ North of England 117... 150 — 267 Surrey won by 34 runs. 1860, July 30, j Surrey 51... 106 157 17 At the Oval ( North of England 171...

' 1862, Aug 14, ( Surrey 156... 83 — 239 AtBroughton ( North of England 183... 57 — 240 North won by one wicket. Surrey thus won 6, North 3, and 2 were drawn. The attendance was very large, and the ground in magnificent order. The play throughout was first- rate, so that the public had no reason to complain of disappointments, which theBroughtonClub were totally unable to avoid. Surrey lost the toss, and the North therefore took advantage of the best of the wickets, and their 211 was scored by a masterly display of cricket, Iddison especially playing another of his very fine innings. Mr Blackstock ( a first- class substitute for Parr) played, also, a good innings of 47. Mr Wright obtained, no doubt, as many as Hay ward or Carpenter would have done, and Nichols was not a bad substitute for Jack- son ; he is a fast bowler, and straight; so is also M'Intire. Sur- rey went well to work, and fell short of the North's innings by 13 runs, Mortlock again doing mischief to the tune of 54. Jupp played a splendid hitting innings of 35. Although the North put Surrey in for 193 to win, that task was accomplished, the most conspicuous to help being Mr F. Burbidge, whose 42 was a treat. Griffith and Lockyer finished the matter, achieving for their county another victory with three wickets to spare. Score : NORTH. 1st inn 2d inn C.

NORTH— First innings: Caffyn bowled 152 balls, 61 runs, 14 maidens, 1 wicket; Ssweil 140 balls, 54 runs, 6 maidens, S wickets; Mortiock 36 balls, 32 runs, 1 maiden; H. H. Stephenson 20 balls, 18 runs; Miller 32 missed at point, and 90 went up. Willsher made two more drives from Lillywhite, and a few slashing hits from the slows, and three ( a bve) was run, and then Mr Norton was taken at slip, when the total was 107, for five wickets down. Mr Traill and Willsher brought on Mr Fawcett, and after atimeFillery took MrFawcett'send, and the latter went on at that now vacated by James Lillywhite. Four byes were run for Fillery's first ball; very little progress had been made with scoring for several overs, when Mr Traill was run out on attempt- ing a run for a hit of his own ; sixth for 140. Goodhew made a fine hit for four from Mr Fawcett, and Willsher cut one of Fillery's for four. This brought on a change of bowling at both ends. Wells delivered eight maiden overs in succession, and James Lillywhite, on his re- appearance, bowledGoodhewthefirst ball; seventhforl57. Mr Biron was caught at mid offi^ Fryer at cover point, and Will- sher was bowled the following ball by a good one. Mr Stuart consequently did not receive a ball. The last two wickets fell with the total 169. On behalf of Kent Willsher and Bennett bowled ; Messrs Hale and Smith went in. The former gentleman made a fine cut from Willnher's second over, and a fine off hit for two as well as four to square leg inBennett's second. Mr Smith had one of Willsher's best and retired ; first for 10. Mr Hales was also well bowled ; two for 11. Fillery's bails fell after he had made a fine off hit from Bennett for three. James Lillywliite also made an admirable drive on for four along the ground, but his bails were removed the next over ; third for 18; fourth for 24. MrHodson had made a snick and four singles when time was called, the total being 25.— Friday's play calls for no particular remark, ex- cept Mr. Kelson's magnificent innings of 73. Young Lilly's bow- ling was first- rate. At twenty minutes past six on that day Sussex sent in Boutherton and Mr Fawcett. Willsher and Bennett bowled. One wicket was lowered for 16, of which Mr Fawcett, who was well stumped by the Kent colt, had made 10 by a fine cut from Willsher for 4, and two drives from Bennett. The stumps were then drawn. On Saturday, Mr Hale, with Southerton, commenced the play, but was soon bowled by Fryer, who took the opposite end to Willsher; second wicket for 20. Mr Smith was not long before he made way for Wells, who, with Boutherton, made a good stand, and caused Willsher to resign the ball to Bennett. Fryer got rid of Southerton, who had played steadily for his runs, the total being 57 for the loss of four wickets. Wells made his 26 by a four, three threes, two twos. & c, and was splendidly caught at long on by Mr Traill. At 60 Mr Hodson joined Ellis, who put his runs on paper quickly; a fine drive of his carried away one of the boundary flags. Ellis, as well as Wells, was well caught at long on ; sixth for 81. John Lillywhite joined Mr Hodson, and Mr Traill, after trying a couple of overs at Fryer's end, turned the ball over to Willsher. There was now some good cricket all round, and for a time runs were got very slowly, particularly from Bennett. Staines received a blow from the ball, which was snicked from the bat, and hit him in the face, and cut his lip through; Fryer took his place at wicket. Mr Hodson made a fine off- drive for three, and John Lillywhite one for four from Willsher, to which the latter had just added a fine square leg- hit for four. After dinner the game was resumed, but the batsmen were not separated till 120 was on the board, and then Mr Hodson was taken at short- leg. Fillery was in with John Lillywliite, when the latter made a splendid drive just above Willsher's head, and it went over the hill and ran away down towards Sandgate; four was allowed, but it was ascertained afterwards that it might hare been run out, and if so, judging from the time the ball was in being returned, double that number might have been run. A shooter destroyed John's wicket soon after, as well as thehopesof Sussex. James was bow led the first ball lie received; eighth for 125 ; ninth for 126. Neither Fillery nor'Anscombe did much mischief to the cause of Kent, and the innings terminated for 128, and thus Sussex was this time beaten by 101 runs. The weather was remarkably fine through- out the match, great pains had been taken to get the wickets in good order, and the Messrs Medhurst had made excellent provi- sion for both cricketers and the public.

The ground was admirably arranged, the wickets good at first, but broke up as the match progressed. The Twenty were confined solely to members of the club, which we suppose is in a very flourishing condition. Hodgson and Slinn were the given bowlers. The Eleven won the choice of innings, and Tarrant and Rowbotham appeared first; the latter made 6. E. Stevenson's 19 were well made; he pulled one on to the wicket. Hay ward was next. Tarrant was bowled by Hodgson for 22. Car- penter joined Hay ward, and the two kept company for three hours, causing several changes in the bowling. Carpenter was at last caught, after scoring 31; Anderson caught for 5. Clarke's 25 were made by some good drives, & c. Hay ward, all this time, had been playing in fine style. When H. Stephenson joined him he had scored 55 runs; then he gave a chance to long- leg ( the first), which was not taken. Time was called at seven. Total, 183 ( with seven wickets down).— On Friday Hayward increased his score to falling the last wicket. The innings amounted to 219. The Twenty- two commenced against Jackson and Tinley, scoring in all 115 runs. Mr Bousfield was, as usual, a fast 17 ; Mr Allison played well for his 22, and Mr M'In tosh scored 18 in very good ferm. Of course they had to follow their innings, and afr seven o'clock had scored 31 runs, for the loss of three wickets, Mr Grim- shaw ( not out) 21, Tarrant and Tinley bowling.— On Saturday the company was such as always appear at Manchester on Saturday afternoons, very numerous and fashionable. Play commenced rather late, and at half past four the Twenty- two were out. for 108 runs. Most showed some good defence, but Mr Dawson's innings was the best, as well as the highest score. The Eleven had five runs to make to win; Tinley and Tarrant made them in two hits. The Eleven won by ten wickets. Tinley, in this match, took 26 wickets, 10 in the first innings, and 16 in the last.

AUG 3, 4, AND 5.— This match was played at Boston Spa. The arrangements were very good, but the ground not quite the thing, as it is only newly laid down, and the dry season has been much against it. The Eleven won the innings, and Tarrant and Willsher rapidly ran up their respective scores, the latter especially making runs in fine style. Tarrant sent a ball out for 4. This was against Lee and Robinson. Darnton was put on to bowl, and bowled at Hayward and Carpenter 21 maiden overs in succession; their scores were 7 and 11. Mr Macintosh made a good leg hit for 3 in his 7. Anderson made it very hot for Lee and Robinson, and two or three other bowlers ; his 53 consisted of four fours, six threes, tkree twos, and singles. Clarke caught and bowled by Darnton. Jackson played well for 13. Tinley, after skying one, made 12 ( not out), including a good drive out for 4; the total ( 165) was a very good performance. The Yorkshire team were repre- sented by Messrs Taylor and W. Hill. Three wickets fell to Willsher for 8 runs, when time was called, half- past six. Play on Tuesday could not commence until half- past one, the rain steadily falling up to that time. The innings of the twenty- two amounted to 73 runs, W. Whaite being the highest scorer, 16, made very steadily. Halton and Mr Waud were in a very long time for their runs. Lee 10, made quickly. The last five wickets fell for no runs, and they had to follow their innings. On time being called they had scored 14, and three out; Barker ( not out) 11. The match terminated on Wednesday, at a quarter to two o'clock, the Eleven winning in one innings and 23 runs to Score: ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN. 4maidens, 2 wickets; Miller 68 balls, 46 runs, 3 maidens, 3 wickets; Griffith 55 balls, 18 runs, 6 maidens, 1 wicket; Lockyer 16 balls, 10 runs, 2 wickets.

KENT v SUSSEX. JULY 30.— This match was played at Folkestone, and was finished on the Saturday, the result of which we gave in our Latest Edition of last week. We have now only to report what occurred. Kent was the successful winner of the toss, and Mr Kelson went in with Wenman, and received the first bail from Young Lilly- white. The first of importance was a fine drive for four off Young James. Staines, after making a single, was well bowled ; second for 21. Bennett was finely caught from the left- handed bowler at mid off; third for 29. MrKelson drew a ball across his wicket soon after Willsher joined him; fourth for 32. Mr W. S. Norton played very steadily, and Willsher was beginning to make runs fast, when Ellis resigned the ball to Mr Smith, and the score soon after reached 70, when dinner was announced. On the game being re- sumed Eilis came on again, and Willsher made a famous on drive from Lillywhite for four, and the next over Willsher was G. Tarrant, b Lee, c Ward 21 E. Wiilsher, b Lee 28 J.

No other day has been fixed 1 Tottenham 62 and 60, Odds and Ends 51. CIVIL SERVICE v SOUTHGATE. Wednesday, July 29, at Southgate. Mr Walker's Eleven had it all their own way, from winning the toss to winning the match. Of course they went in first, and of course they made a heap of runs, Mr V. E. Walker especially and Mr Browne (? who's Browne) batting in fine style. The fielding of the Civil Service was shocking, or, as the spectators justly observed, « ' misserable;'' nor did they make up for it in their batting, but at the end of the first innings were 117 runs behind. In their second attempt they exactly managed to get this number, and the Ssuthgate had only the winning run to go in for, which they obtained without apparent difficulty. The Family were in great force, and in the first innings took all the C. 8. wickets between them. The fielding of the Southgate men was as perfect as that of their opponents was loose. Mr V. E. Walker seemed to think nothing of taking point, short leg, long on, and everywhere else to his own bowling, and one among many brilliant things that he did was to throw Mr Rawlings out before he had time to get home, when he had stepped out and driven the ball hard back into his hands. The extras were kept within a reasonable number on both sides, and in spite of the chances missed, no less than 19 of the 30 wickets which fell during the day were caught. Score: SOUTHGATE.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS- The demand for money during the week has been somewhat stimulated by the bills which became due on the 4th, and the settlement of the Consol account at the Stock Exchange. The rates in the general market have therefore been firmly main- tained, and 3f| have been, the quotations at which ordinary trans- actions have taken place. Money lias also been in request by- farmers, whose expenditure at this season of the year is always largely increased. The Bank of England return demonstrates by the reduction of notes and the small increase of gold how great has been the call made upon the resources of the establishment by country bankers. With the holiday season has ended much of the speculation so rampant a short time since at the Stock Ex- change, and the dealings are therefore very limited in comparison to what they were a month ago. Consols closed at 9l'| J for money, and 93j for the account. The operations in the Foreign Stock Market during the week continued moderately active; the chief feature, however, has been the fluctuation in the Confederate Cotton Loan, which re- ceded at one time to as low as 37 35 dis, but it has subsequently rallied to about 24 22 dis. Greek Bonds have improved about f, and the Coupons Spanish Passive Bonds have advanced j, while Turkish Securities generally sustained former quotations. Railway Shares during the week were dealt in to a limited extent, and exhibited at onetime considerable depression, owing to the unfavourable dividends declared on one or two of the principal lines. London and Blackwall declined Lancashire and Yorkshire J, Caledonian, Great Western, Brighton, and Lon- don, Chatham, and Dover 1, Great Eastern 3, and Great Northern 4 per cent. South Eastern, South Western, and North Eastern ( Berwick) have improved North Stafford J, North Western and Midland 1, and Bristol and Exeter 2j. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were dealt in to an average extent, and in most instances supported previous rates. SATURDAY EVENING. The Funds to- day have been a shade flatter, Consols having closed at 92f 92f for money, and 92- J 93 for the account on Sept 9. In the Foreign market the chief feature has been an advance in Mexican Stock, which closed at 36£ 37g, and the Confederate Loan jmproved to 25 23 dis; Spanish Passive Bonds declined f to 32£ {• The Turkish Loan of 1854 was steady at 92 to 93, the Loan of 1858 declined - J to 70 f, and the Consolid^ s receded J to 48 J. Railway shares were heavy, Caledonian having declined about f. Bank and Miscellaneous shares remained without change of im- portance. Bir Cresswell Cresswell was buried on Wednesday last at Kensal Green cemetery. CRYSTAL PALACE.— Return of admissions for six days ending Saturday, Aug 8 ( including season ticket holders), 54,106. MR BISHOP AND HIS DOG.— A case was tried on Tuesday at the Westminster County Court, in which Mr Bishop, of Bond- street, was the plaintiff, and Miss Hicks the defendant. The action was brought to recover the sum of £ 5 for merely nominal damages sustained by the plaintiff for the loss of his favourite dog, which was killed by the order of the defendant, under the circumstances recently detailed in our police report. A verdict for the full amount claimed, and costs, was returned. THE TEMPORARY BRIDGE AND NEW STEAMBOAT PIER AT BLACKFRIARS.— In consequence of the site of Blackfriars steam- boat pier being required for the construction of the temporary wooden bridge for foot passengers, the pier has been closed, and passengers embark at Paul's Wrliai'f Pier. As the closing of Black- friars Pier will be a source of great inconvenience to the public, it is intended by the Board of Conservancy to erect a pier at the west side of the bridge, to which Mr Ware, the present pier- master, will be appointed. The temporary office for Mr J. Rennie, the contractor of the wooden bridge, is completed. The work will be carried on with vigour until its completion, when Blackfriars Bridge will be closed and pulled down. FATAL ACCIDENT TO A WILTSHIRE MAGISTRATE.— On Tues- day,. August 4, an inquest was held at Blunsdon Abbey, Wiltshire, on the body of Captain Clayton de Windt, of the loth Hussars, and a magistrate in the county of Wiltshire, who was killed on the previous day by his horse falling upon him. It appears that the gallant gentleman wa3 riding along the Highworth- road, and the Stanton toll- gate keeper ( who had instructions to keep the bar closed until vehicles approached, as several persons had made it a habit to pass through without paying) opened the bar. This ap- pears to have frightened the horse on which the gallant gentle- man was riding, for he was thrown into the ditch, and the animal fell upon him. The accident was witnessed at the tollbar, and assistance was promptly obtained. The unfortunate sufferer only spoke once, and then became insensible. He was conveyed to the house, and a surgeon from Highworth arrived in half an hour, but life was then extinct. Several ribs had been fractured, and other severe injuries had been received. The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. AMERICA. ( Per the Persia, vid Roche's Point, Aug 8, 1: 45 a. m.) NEW YORK, JULY 28.— The repulse of the Federal attacks upon Fort Wagner between the 18th and 23d is officially reported to the Confederate Government by General Beauregard, and confirmed by the Federal accounts brought by steamers to Fortress Monroe. On the 18th, after a furious bombardment of the fort for eleven hours by the Federal land batteries and the ironclads, an assault was ordered by General Gilmore, and repeated and desperate attempts were made to dislodge the Confederates, and at one time the Federals had succeeded in mounting their flag upon the parapet of the fort, but they were driven back by the terrific fire of the garrison. Two regiments of negro troops who participated in the attack are described as having fought with great bravery. It is stated that the sight of them so infuriated the Confederates that wherever they appeared the whole fire of the fort was concentrated upon them until they retired out of range. The Federal loss in the assault was upwards of 2,000 in killedi wounded, and prisoners. The Richmond Despatch of the 27th contains despatches from Charleston to the 25th, reporting that the bombarding of Fort Wagner had been recommenced on the 24th, and continued heavily throughout that day, the only result being the killing of three men and the wounding of six others. During the ensuing night firing was carried on by Forts Wagner and Sumter against the Federal position on the island, the Federals occasionally responding. On the 28th the " monitors" suspended operations entirely. President Davis has issued a proclamation, appointing Frida$\ the 21st of August, for a day of fasting, humiliation, and prayer. Vice- President Stephens, who is making a tour of the Con- federate States, addressed the people of Charlotte, North Carolina on the 17th. He expressed great confidence in the military genius and patriotism of General Lee, and stated that vast quantities of supplies had been obtained by his invasion of Pennsylvania. In alluding to the fall of Vicksburg and Port Hudson, Mr Stephens said that the Confederacy had survived severer blows in the loss of New Orleans, Island No. 10, and Fort Pillan, and that should even Mobile, Charleston, Savannah, and Richmond be captured, these calamities would not prevent the ultimate inde- pendence of the South if the people would but continue its sup- port of the Government. He concluded by saying that the only terms on which we can obtain permanent peace are final and com- plete separation from the North. Rather than submit to anything short of that, let us all resolve to die like men worthy of freedom. The Richmond Despatch of the 27th publishes a despatch from Morton, Mississippi, stating that Jackson was again evacuated by General Grant on the 23d, and that the general had returned to Vicksburg. The Court House at Jackson was much damaged by an attempt of the Federals to blow it up, and great destruction was committed upon the railway tracks, rolling stock, and machine shops. The amount of property destroyed by the Federals in their late raid into North Carolina is estimated at 5,000,000 dollars. JULY 29, TWELVE A. M. According to accounts published this morning, General Lee' 3 army passed through Chester Gap on Thursday and Friday- last. It is supposed that it is now at and south of Culpepper. The Tribune correspondent at Washington states that it is as. certained from private sources that General Gilmore's losses at Charleston by sickness and casualties amount to about one- third of his original force. He adds that the authorities at Washington are determined to reduce that stronghold, and will send such supports and reinforcements to General Gilmore as may be needed for that purpose. Morgan's raid into Ohio is at an end. General 6hackleford, under date of the 26th, officially reports the capture of General Morgan, Col Cluke, and 400 of their men. Morgan and Colonel Cluke have been brought to Cincinnati, and confined in the city prison. Governor Parker, of New Jersey, has announced by proclama- tion that no draught has been ordered in that State, and that thirty days will be allowed for filling up the quota required by volunteering. At the end of that time, if the number shall no* be complete, a draught will be ordered. In consequence of information given by a neg'o, the private library and correspondence of President Davis have been seized by the Federals at Jackson, Mississippi, The account of the capture states that thousands of volumes of b- oks and bushels of letters and papers from both Northern and Southern statesmen upon the subject of secession, some of them dated as far back as 1852, had been brought into camp. Many of the more private writers had accepted the divisien of the Union as a foregone conclusion, and disagreed as to how and when it should take place. EXTENSIVE ROBBERY FROM AN EMPLOYER. To- day, at Guildhall, Charles William Terry, a ware- houseman in the employ of Mr Barnet, a merchant in Ba- singhall- street, was charged with robbing his master of goods to the value of nearly £ 100. Mr Barnet said the prisoner had been in his service about three months; on the 29th of last month he missed from his stock some pieces of stuff goods, value £ 10, and he asked the prisoner if he knew any- thing about them. He admitted having taken three of the pieces but said he meant to pay for them. It has since been discovered that he had pawned a great number of articles, all of which be- longed to witness. Several pawnbrokers were present, who proved that the prisoner had pawned various things at their shops. When inquiries were made he said they were his own goods, and as it was a common thing for men to raise money upon their goods » no further questions were asked. The goods missed by the pro- secutor amounted to nearly £ 100.— The prisoner, who pleaded guilty, and said he intended to restore the goods, was committed for trial. ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY, VALUE £ 100. To- day, at Marlborough- street, Benjamin Jones was charged with stealing a quantity of jeweller}', valued at £ 100, the property 0f Mdlle de Francesco, of the Alhambra, Leicester- square. The prosecutrix left her lodgings at No. 16, Leicester- street., on the 30th ult, to attend at the Alhambra, and locked her room door, and when she returned she discovered that the lower panel of her door had been broken in, so as to give access to the room, and brooches, rings, and other articles of jewellery, worth £ 100, had been stolen.— When the prisoner was questioned he said he had been induced by threats to admit a lad into the house, and to allow him to carry away the jewellery. No trace of the property has yet been found by the police.— A remand was asked for, in order to find the lad, who was a well- known associate of the prisoner's. Remanded accordingly. A NEW YORK ROWDY IN LONDON. To- day, at Bow- street police court, Thomas Jones, a fierce- looking man, was charged with stealing a watch from an elderly gentleman named Bunning. The prosecutor was passing along the Strand on the previous evening, and when near St Clement's Church the prisoner walked boldly up to him and snatched his watch and a part of the chain with it, and then ran away. He was followed and taken into custody.— The prisoner said he was a native of New York, and had been to sea for three years, but he could get nothing to do now, and he was starving, so he took the watch to procure something to eat. The prisoner spoke in a coarse brutal manner.— Mr Henry said this was a very serious case, and he must send it to the Sessions. The prisoner stamped with fury, and was removed screaming out and gesticulating wildly. FORTUNE- TELLING.— THE MARCH OF INTELLECT. To- day, at Clerkenwell, a respectable- looking woman, with a child about six years of age, applied to Mr D'Eyncourt under the following circumstances :— The applicant said her child had been bitten by a dog, and as she did not know whether the animal was mad or not, she wanted it killed. A fortune- teller had said that if'the dog were not killed and the child's planets crossed, then it would go mad. The owner of the dog said it was not mad, and would not have it killed unless she gave him 10s., but she would see it hanged before she would give him a farthing for it. Sup- pose the planets crossed and the dog was not out of the world, what a dreadful thing it would be for her child to go mad !— The Magistrate said it was an extraordinary thing the lower classes were so prejudiced and ignorant as to believe in trash that was told thein by fortune- tellers. He should certainly not order the dog to be killed. It would be much better to let it live, and see whether it was really mad or not. If not, then no harm could come to her child. Nevertheless the owner of the dog must pay the expenses of the doctor in attending the child, if not she might summons him to the county court. ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY AT A TAVERN. To- day, at Southwark police court, William Thos. Cook was charged with stealing two gold watches and other jewellery, worth about £ 40, from MrWilliam Carter, Railway Tavern, Black- friars- road. The prosecutor advertised for a potman, and the prisoner came to him amongst other applicants. He took him at once, without going to ascertain his character, but he would not suit him, and he was going to discharge him when he found that he had been robbed of the above property. He had since dis- covered that the statements before he was engaged were altogether false, and he had lately come from Birmingham. Various pawn- brokers' tickets were found upon the prisoner, some of them re- lating to the articles stolen from the prosecutor.— Remanded titf Thursday. FRIGHTFUL DEATH.— On Monday, Aug 3, Mr Coroner Swann held an inquest at New Eastwood, Notts, on the body of a youth named Willard Taylor, who was employed in one of Messrs Barber and Walker's coalpits. On Friday evening, July 31, he was riding down an incline with two companions. The works had been stopped for the night, and it was supposed that the pit- shaft was protected by an iron fence. It appeared, however, that the bank- man had neglected his duty, and as the train arrived at the end of the gangway the waggon in which the deceased was ridins; . was thrown down the shaft. His two companions managed lb- save themselves by jumping out, but the the deceased fell to the bottom of the pit, and was picked up in a shocking condition.— The jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death.
