GREAT EBOR HANDICAP and DONCASTER ST LEGER. Charles Oakley's selections for the above races are of a very first- rate character, and ought to be acted upon without de. ay. 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 horse 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; and 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 be has predicted the winner. For his many other glorious victories be begs to refer to Bell's Life. In this paper are recorded his triumphs, almost all the great handicaps and ether important races having been foretold by liim, 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 faithful 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. N. B. C. Oaklevissued no advice for Reading or Wolverhampton, consi- dering 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 and disap- pointment. It is only by investing freely on the good things that are so 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.

The weather since our la3t has been all that the farmers could desire for harvest work, and an immense quantity of grain has been cut and carried in magnificent condition. The grain markets all over the Con- tinent have been dull and declining, those of France feeing the most decided, oi » account of the satisfactory reports of the harvest, which has been secured under the most favourable circumstances; and it is thought that, independent oi their own requirements, there will be some quantity to export. There has been a slight increase of new Wheat in many of the country markets held this week, and the quality cf some of the samples shown was very fine. The attendance of farmers and buyers have been very limited, and the trade generally heavy at drooping prices. Tue same remark will apply to spring corn and flour. The arrivals of home grown grain and fiour at Mark- lane have been mo- derate; and of foreign produce the imports have been considerably un- der last week. Buyers were again shy this morning, and the Wheat trade, either for English or foreign, showed no signs of improvements the impression being that lower prices must prevail. Flour the same.

FATAL AFFRAY AT BIRMINGHAM.— On Sunday morning, an affray, attended with fatal consequences, occurred in Bissell- street, Birmingham; a man named Thomas Jefferson, a brass- founder, aged 32, was killed. It appears that within a few doors of the residence of the deceased there lives a man named George Hignett, a tobacco manufacturer; he is powerfully made, and is gifted with a very quarrelsome disposition. Some time early on Sunday morning he was ill using his wife in front of his house. The neighbours, hearing the woman's screams, went out to in- terpose, and among them the unfortunate Thomas Jefferson. An altercation between him and Hignett took place, in the course of which the latter said that if the other interfered he would " make it warm for him." Notwithstanding this Jefferson approached Hignett, who ran into the house and returned with a poker, with which he struck Jefferson two or three times, once, it is alleged, on the skull, and ultimately felled him to the ground. The poor man was carried to the Queen's Hospital, and attended by Mr Wilders, the house- surgeon, but he died soon afterwards. Hignett was taken into custody in his own house. At the time of his apprehension he said " he should not have interfered with me when I had been drinking." The deceased has left a widow and three children. An inquest has been held, and a verdict of man- slaughter returned against George Hignett. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 16, 1863. TO CORRESPONDENTS.

GIVING AN EMPIRE. One of the strangest of strange events has been announced to the world. The Emperor of the French has given an Emperor to Mexico ; and, by way perhaps of showing the magnanimity with which a great Sovereign can dispose of other people, their goods' their chattels, and themselves, without any regard to their feel- ings, wishes, or opinions, he has handed over the whole Mexican people, as if they were his own property in fee simple, to be the property of an AustrianArchduke. When you give away what is not your own, it does not much matter to whom you give it. This mode of proceeding would, if adopted by ordinary men, be treated as a felony. Of course its very nature is changed when an Emperor executes it, and what would be punishable by the laws of any one country, if done by a private individual, has no character of wrong about it when done by an Emperor in defiance of the laws of a world. Stay a little. Is it quite certain that no punishment will follow this'act? We have our suspicions that there will be a Nemesis, even with regard to the bestowal of a Mexican empire. In 1862, England, France, and Spain joined together, with the declared object of extorting justice from the Government of Mexico for the acts of its predecessor. All three powers declared that they had no intention whatever of appropriating to themselves Mexican territory, or of intervening in the external affairs of the country. They not only declared this in the treaty made be- tween themselves, but they solemnly repeated the declaration in answer to formal inquiries put to them by the United States Go- vernment. Mr Seward's despatch is existing to attest the fact. The forces of the three powers had hardly reached Mexico when it appeared that the French commanders had received orders to do exactly that which had been thus solemnly disclaimed. The agents of the English and Spanish governments at once withdrew their national forces; they would not consent to be made the tools of an imperial scheme so secretly contrived and so shame- lessly attempted to be put into execntion. The French Emperor was left alone, but he has the absolute control of the mighty iv power of France, and is as reckless as to his use of that power as tX^ ie is of his solemn declarations, so he sent out large reinforce- ments, and the French army has by its accustomed bravery achieved for him a military success. Puebla fell. The French f troops advanced to Mexico, took possession of the capital, and there General Forey has gone through the farce of assembling a set of Mexicans, either submissive through fear or through cor- ruption, and these persons, under the dictation of the General, and in traitorous disregard of the real wishes of their country, have declared that country desires to become the patrimony of a foreigner. The French Emperor having thus done exactly what lie declared it was his intention not to do, what is likely to be the result ? First of all, the throne thus created by French dictation must be supported by French arms, as it is now based upon and sup- ported by French institutions. As to the former, the necessity is evident; as to the latter, the Mexicans, it appears, are to become practically acquainted with them even to the " warnings" which are given to the press. How the French nation will like the cost, in men and money, of maintaining an Austrian Archduke on the throne of Mexico is a matter yet to be ascertained. Next comes the question, how the States of North America will relish this open and offensive defiance of their Monroe doctrine— a defiance, too, effected after the solemn declaration made to them by the French Emperor that he had no intention whatever to do more than exact from the Mexican Government that justice to French subjects which it was not willing honestly to afford. The Federal States are, just now. the only States that may call him to account for this misconduct; and just now, too, it is said that the Southern States are ready to assist him against the North. This is likely, for his interference in their favour is, at the present instant, most valuable, and they will readily pay for it any price which it is in their power to offer. But let them establish themselves as an independent nation, and then what are the chances that they will forget that Monroe doctrine which they have so long put forth as the great article of faith in their political creed. That doctrine owed its birth to a Southern, and up to the time of the disruption of the Union the Southerners were the most vehement arid passionate assertors of it. Lastly, what will the Mexicans themselves say to this imposition on them of a foreign sovereign by a foreign sovereign ? It is not a pleasant thing for a nation to be disposed of as if it was a private estate, all its citizens being treated like the adscripti terra of the most barbarous feudal times. It may be said that the Mexicans did not fight well, have been beaten, and must submit. All this was said of the Spaniardson the first invasion by Napoleon, but his rapid success turned out to be only the forerunner of dis- graceful defeat; and though, without British aid, there vould have been no victories over the French at Talavera and Sala- manca, the country could never have been held in peace, and the extent of the French Empire in Spain would have been measured by the extent of Spanish ground actually covered by the French armies. It would almost seem as if under the pretence of increasing and strengthening the new empire of Mexico the surest means were to be taken to bring it to ruin. It is announced that the Southern States, in consideration of recognition by the French Emperor, are to allow him to take possession of Texas. If the attempt to do this is made it will be the ruin of the perpetrator. The Texans ( who know how to fight) are neither desirous of an imperial nor of a monkish Government. The scheme of the French Emperor is to subject Mexico to both. Will the Texans, forced into servitude with Mexico, submit to both, or to either? We should not answer this question in the affirmative. If we are right in declining to do so, the attempt to add Texas to Mexico will prove to be nothing but the introduction into the new political creation of an element which will insure its early and certain destruction. BREAD. A case brought before Mr Kerr, in the court of the Bheriff of London, deserves the attention of the public. The plaintiff asked for payment of his wages as a journeyman baker. The defendant represented " Stevens's Patent Breadmaking Company," and, in answer, declared that the plaintiff had been dismissed from the service of the company because he made the bread badly. The plaintiff's reply was that the materials with which he was fur- nished were bad, and that the bread was bad not through his fault, but through the fault of the materials. It is quite clear that in the end the court adopted this view of the case, for the finding was in favour of the plaintiff. With the particular case we do not pretend to deal; but the evidence given on both sides furnishes a disagreeable insight into the manufacture of that which is the daily food of us all. German yeast appears to be a staple commodity for the manufacture of English bread, and this German yeast appears often to be bad. In fact, the chances must often be against its being good. The time taken to collect it in Germany and to bring it to England is a strong circumstance against it. On one occasion especially it was admitted by one of the defendant's witnesses to have been used when it was " soft;" in other words, as he indicates, in the early stage of total unfitness, and the result was bad bread. It is impossible to avoid asking whence the necessity arises for the use of this German yeast ? Cannot England, with all its vast con- sumption of beer, furnish enough ; or must we get it from Ger- many, with all the attendant disadvantages of a long journey and the consequent probability of putridity? The question of the necessity of having it does not appear to have been mooted, it was taken for granted that German yeast must be had, and the evi- dence seemed to show that it was often unfit for use. But though unfit for use it was alleged to have been used, and the fact of its use when unfit was set up by the plaintiff as his excuse for having made bad bread. There was, on the other hand, evidence pro- duced to show that the materials given to the plaintiff were quite good, but the court seemed to think that that evidence was not trustworthy, and so the finding passed for the plaintiff. Here, then, is a case which, if it does not absolutely and con- clusively establish the use of bad materials in making bread, leaves very little doubt that such is the fact. And this is the chief article of food used by our working population, who, if they can afford to buy a quantity requisite for their consumption, must necessarily consume a larger proportion of it than is consumed by the same number of persons in the higher classes. For the gentleman has varieties of vegetables, which diminish his con- sumption of bread, while the working man, on six days of the week at least, has little else to eat with his meat, or with his cheese, but bread alone. It would not be a subject unworthy of the consideration of the sanitary inquirer, to seek to know the influence of this sort of bread on the health of the population of the metropolis. The Registrar- General must have his labour in- creased by it; and parish expenses must be affected, but cannot be diminished, by its influence. In addition to the pain felt for the loss of money and the injury to health which must be inflicted on the working classes, all those who took an interest in the complaints of the journeymen bakers must be deeply annoyed by the fact that as against a " patent bread- making" company such disclosures should have come forth. Recent investigations had shown how much the journeymen bakers suffered from the mode in which their labours were carried on, and it was hoped that, by the " patent bread- making" process their sufferings might be diminished, and the cleanliness of the manufacture and the comfort of the consumer be increased. If this defendant company was one of those which were to effect these desirable objects, it has not done its utmost for that purpose. A general straining after cheapness in the manufacture was hinted at as the cause of the inferiority of the materials. If so, nothing could be more mischievous forthe purpose in view. In this, as in other instanoes, the establishment of a good character is far more advantageous to the concern than the obtaining of an early and a considerable pro- fit ; but this does not seem to have been understood by " Stevens's Patent Bread- making Company," and the result will be as disap- pointing to the company as it is mischievous to the consumers of its product. « THE PROBATE AND DIVORCE COURT. When the melancholy event whioh deprived the country of the distinguished services of Sir Cresswell Cresswell was first announced, we expressed our sincere regret for his loss, and suggested the anxiety that must attend the appointment of his successor. That appointment has now been made. The bench of England could not have furnished, in ability and learning, a fitter man, for Mr Baron Wilde's studies of law have been addressed rather to the great principles of law than to its smaller details. His ability is considerable, his knowledge great, his temper patient and impartial, and in his desire to do justice, he will, like his distinguished relative, the late Lord Truro, shrink from no labour that may enable him to be right. Give him but physical strength, and he would maintain the character of the court which Sir Cresswell Cresswell had placed so high. But that which every one would willingly give him is unhappily that which it is in no one's power to give, and which yet he needs. The labours of the Judge of the Probate and Divorce Court are heavier than those of a puisne Baron of the Exchequer. For his sake everyone will be anxious about the oonsequences of the increased toil he has undertaken, and we can only hope that his strength will enable him to fulfil his own wishes and the expectations of the country. SIR J. HUDSON, We have not space to do more than add our protest to that Of our contemporaries against the removal of Sir J. Hudson from Turin. It is the act of taking away the right man from the right place. English interests, justice to a distinguished public servant, and Italian good will are here all sacrificed by Earl Russell; but he gives a place to a family connection. THE QUEEN'S DEPARTURE FOB GERMANY.— On Tuesday, Her Majesty, Prince Alfred, and the junior members of the royal family embarked on board the Fairy at Woolwich, and proceeded to Greenhithe, where the royal party were transferred to the Victoria and Albert, which vessel sailed early on Wednesday morning for Antwerp, Her Majesty arrived at Brussels on Thurs- day at the Palace of Laeken. DEATH OF SIB F. BLADE.— A communication from Wells, on the Western Circuit, dated Monday, Aug 10, says:—" A heavy gloom has been thrown over this circuit in consequence of a special mes- senger having arrived in this city yesterday morning with intelli- gence that Sir F. Slade had died* in his bed. The learned counsel had conducted a case in the Nisi Prius Court here on Friday with his usual vigour and ability, and apparently in robust health. Having concluded his day's work, he retired to his country seat at Maunsel, near Bridgewater; in the evening he complained of fatigue, and on Saturday morning he called in a medical friend, but there was not much the matter. He went to bed rather early on Saturday night, and about eleven o'clock Lady Slade, who was by his side, discovered that he had ceased to exist. As far as we have at present heard, his death was caused by apoplexy. Sir Frederick had been on the Western Circuit between thirty and forty years. He went through the usual gradations of the pro- fessions and became a most successful defender of prisoners. As time rolled on he emerged from the criminal into the civil court, and then was called within the bar as a Q. C. His peculiar style was that of great honesty and openness, accompanied by great humour, which soon gained him a considerable practice. He was a most zealous and untiring advocate, and greatly incensed when he discovered anything dishonest or disreputable, and sparing not the highest in his remarks in the discharge of his duties. SHOCKING DEATH OF A LADY AT LIVERPOOL.— On Saturday morning, Aug 8, a Mrs Emily Brown, 28 years of age, wife of a Mr Brown, a banker, died at her residence, 10, Princes Park- ter- race, Liverpool, under the following melancholy circumstances. She was rather bilious on Friday, and sent for a blue pill and black draught, which she took, and then went to lie down. In the course of the evening her husband, who was dining out, was sent for, and on his return he found her insensible. Medical assistance was obtained, but she never rallied, and died on Satur- day morning. A post mortem examination proved that she had died from the effects of laudanum, and on the remains of the black draught being examined, it was found to contain laudanum. At the inquest it was proved that the medicine had been obtained at a chemist's named Pearson in the Park- road, and the jury, after a consultation, returned a verdict, " That deceased died from the effects of opium carelessly dispensed by Edward Pearson." THE FATAL KAILWAY ACCIDENT ON THE LYNN RAILWAY.— The coroner's inquest on the unfortunate persons killed in an ex- cursion train recently, owing to the collision of the engine with a bullock on the line, wa3 concluded on Monday, August 10, with the following verdict:— The jury find unhesitatingly a verdict of •' Accidental Death of five persons caused by a bullock straying on the line through gross negligence of the authorities of the Great Eastern Kailway and their officers— first, by not putting the fences into a state of safety; secondly, by not putting the bullock off the line where the accident occurred; thirdly, by the disgraceful state of the carriages used for the conveyance of the unfortunate per- sons ; and also considers the Government inspector deserving cen- sure for passing a line so inadequately fenced." A second coroner's jury, summoned to inquire into the death of Mr Dennis, a pas- senger, who died after the first inquiry was commenced, has found unanimously that John Dennis died from injuries received in an accident caused by a bullock straying upon the line; and is also of opinion that the accident was owing to the insufficiency of the fences, and the neglect of the same by the Great Eastern Company; that the driver and the guard acted to the best of their ability and according to instructions. The jury strongly recommended that carriages be more frequently subjected to close examination, and further are of opinion that Captain Tyler was perfectly justified in passing the line in September last. A YOUNG WOMAN SHOT AT EXETER.— A sad catastrophe oc- curred on Thursday, Aug 6, at Exeter, by which Martha Winson, a tailoress, aged 18, lost her life. The deceased was sitting at work at a table in the house of her employer, Mrs Brannam, 32, Codrington- street, when the sen of that person, Abraham Bran- nam, a mason, 18 years of age, came in to dinner. Presently, it appears, he took up a gun which was in the room, and was loaded and capped; but Brannam does not appear to have known the fact, for while he was handling it the charge exploded, and a quantity of small shot went through the deceased's head, entering at one ear and passing out at the other. The poor girl fell back- ward, and died almost immediately. A surgeon was in attend- ance at once, but his services were, of course, unavailing. The face and head of the deceased were terribly shattered, and every one on the spot was horror- stricken at the event. No one appeared more affected than the young man who had occasioned the fatality, who was shortly afterwards led away in the custody of the police. An inquest has been held and a verdict of Accidental Death returned. THE FATAL OCCUEEENCE ON THE KIYEE.— On Tuesday Mr Bedford, coroner for Westminster, resumed and concluded an inquiry at St George's Hospital, touching the death of Mary Fielding, aged 17, who was crushed to death at Putney Bridge, whilst trying to get out of a boat which had become disabled, on Friday, the 31st ulfc. It will be recollected that on that day the deceased and another female named Charlotte Hammond, went up the river in a boat with two young men as far as Putney Bridge, when owing to their unskilful rowing the boat came in collision with a barge, and they were obliged to abandon the boat and take refuge in the barge. Joseph Jones, the captain of the barge, said he did all he could to avoid a collision, but the boat struck the barge and instantly filled. All the parties then clung to his barge, and deceased, whilst hanging to the barge, got crushed between the barge and the bridge. The parties were utterly unable to manage the boat, and they should not have attempted to come through the middle arch of the bridge. The jury returned a ver- dict of Accidental Death, and censured the practice of letting out boats to persons incompetent to manage them. ACCIDENT ON THE METROPOLITAN RAILWAY.— On Tuesday morning, shortly before ten o'clock, an accident, which for some time caused a great deal of excitement amongst the passengers, occurred at the Gower- street station by one of the trains running off the line. It is understood that this was caused by the narrow gauge, which was worked for the first time on Tuesday, not being in such good order as the broad gauge, which has been worked since the opening of the line. A number of the passengers at the other stations had to leave, as they could not wait till the line was cleared. After a short delay the engine was got on the metals, and the ordinary traffic was resumed. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. By imperial decree, Belgian vessels coming direct from Belgian ports with cargo, or from any other ports without cargo, are ex- empted from all tonnage dues. The Pays points out that the constitution does not allow the foreign policy of France to be connected with the name of a minister, and says:—" There is but one policy in France, the Policy of the Emperor. The right of forming such a policy, the supreme direction thereof, and the honoar of it, belong to the Emperor.'' La France, referring to the despatch of the notes to St Petersburg, says, that should Russia formally refuse to do justice to the claims of the three powers, the period of the negotiations might be considered at an end. GERMANY^ The Emperor of Austria having proposed a meeting at Frank- fort of all the sovereign states of Germany, twenty- one German princes, including the Grand Duke of Baden, have accepted the invitation. According to the programme of the Emperor the proposed National German Assembly would be composed of an upper and lower hou3e. The former would be composed of the German Princes, the latter of members of the Diets of States be- longing to the German Confederation. POLAND. The Poles have gained more victories, some of which even the Russian journals do not deny. Pawlowicz and Czarkowski have been shot by the Russians, the former at Brzesc, the latter at Biedlice. An engagement took place at Polichna. in the Palati- nate of Lublin, in which the insurgents, under Krysinski and Wagner, were victorious. They pursued the Russians for a dis- tance of two miles. The loss of the insurgents was inconsiderable. Telegraphic communication with Warsaw is again interrupted in all directions. An order of the day, referring to the possibility © f a foreign war, has been issued by Lieutenant- General Baktanow, who has been appointed to command the Cessack regiments sta- tioned in Lithuania. The news of the victory of the insurgents under Chruscina at Polichna, and of the concentration of troops in Lublin, has been confirmed. The insurgents under Collier attacked a squadron of Uhlans at Raszyn, near Warsaw, liberating a convoy of prisoners. The Uhlans fled to Warsaw. TURKEY. Russian troops are being concentrated at Gumri. The Porte demands explanations from the Russian Government on this account. The old seraglio has been totally destroyed by fire. AMERICA. General Beauregard officially reports the Federal repulse from Fort Wagner. The loss of the Confederates was 150 killed ; that of the Federals, including prisoners, was about 2,000. Nearly 800 were buried under a Hag of truce. Martial law has been pro- claimed in Lexington. President Davis has issued a proclama- tion urging the people to receive in thankfulness the lesson taught them in the recent reverses, and appointing a day of fast and prayer. The New York Herald asserts that Mr Seward has informed Earl Russell that if privateers continue to be fitted out in England Federal war vessels will not regard British ports as a protection to privateers. General Burnside has issued a procla- mation, which says :—" Kentucky has been invaded by the rebels with the intention of overawing' the judges, intimidating the voters, and forcing the election of disloyal candidates at the elec- tion of September 3. Martial law is, therefore, proclaimed in Kentucky. [ This is an odd conclusion.] Military commanders will aid the State authorities to support the laws and the purity of suffrage. The judges present at the polls will be held strictly responsible that no disloyal person be allowed to vote, and to this end military power will give them its utmost support!'' The Confederates have been defeated in Kentucky and Tennessee. MEXICO. The Patrie states that the Archduke Maximilian has made his ac- ceptance of the Mexican throne dependent upon the consent of his brother, the Emperor of Austria. It asserts that if the Archduke accepts the throne France and England will recognise him imme- diately, and the other powers will not delay following their ex- ample. Letters received from Rome state that the Archduke Maximilian has requested the Pope, in the event of his election as Emperor of Mexico, to send a nuncio to that country charged with organising religious affairs. The Pope was willing to do so. La France says :—" If the Archduke accepts the crown arrange- ments will be made upon the following bases :— The amounts due to France, comprising the costs of the war, and the sums owing to private creditors, are to be paid by Mexico within six years. France will keep an army of occupation for a period— to be agreed upon, at the expense of Mexico." La France also asserts that the vote of the Mexican Notables will not be submitted to ratification by universal suffrage, but will be brought for endorsement before the 6,000 municipalities of Mexico. So far this Papal organ seems to be, or at least pretends to be, the best informed of all the jour- nals on the subject of the French Emperor's creation of a Mexican Government. THE SALMON FISHEEIES.— The salmon season is now drawing to a close, and, altogether, has been the most successful that has been experienced in the 8evern and Wye ( two of the most im- portant salmon streams of England) for a great many years. Not only has the take of fish been greater, but the fish have been unu- sually fine. Fish from 201b to 30lb in weight have been quite common, while several have been taken in the Severn 401b in weight, and one recently 521b. The taking of such large fish is one of the most significant signs of improvement in the manage- ment of the fisheries. The act of 1861, for the improvement of salmon fisheries and protection of the fish when in a breeding condition, has, no doubt, had a salutary effect. The putt and putcher fisheries in the lower part of the Severn and Wye, and in the estuary between the mouths of the Wye and Avon and New- port, are found so difficult of management in consequence of the necessity of closing them from Saturday at noon to Monday morning, that it is likely they will be abandoned for net fishing. This will be a great boon to the fishermen in the upper portions of the rivers, who complain that the putts and putchers take more than a fair toll of the fish. The executive of the local protection associations have strictly watched these fisheries, and in all cases where the weekly fence time has been disregarded have prose- cuted the offenders. Informations against several fishermen for offences of this class have been laid, and the cases will be heard before the local magistrates. It must be taken as a proof of the increase of the fish that a shoal of grampuses have lately appeared in the Bristol Channel in pursuit of the salmon. One of these has been captured as high as within three miles of Gloucester, and he had no doubt pursued the salmon up the river so far, no less than 45 salmon having been taken in one draught near the spot where the grampus was captured. This fish was 16ft long, and about 12ft round the thickest part. EXTRAORDINARY SCENE AT THE NESS SALMON FISHINGS.— The Inverness Courier records a strange scene which occurred a few days ago at the Ness salmon fisheries:—" Literally hundreds of fish came surging up in shoals, and wriggled with difficulty over the fords. Troops of excited boys lunged after them through the shallows, pelting them, driving them back, and causing dire consternation among the poor fish. On the ford below Holm Mills a monster salmon showed himself leading up a great shoal of lesser fish. His dimensions, as he splashed about in the shallow water, turning on his deep silvery side to lessen the diffi- culty of finding water, could not escape notice, and two or three lads rushed into the water to give chase. The monarch tried hard to effect the ascent, and his scaly followers for a moment remained quiet to watch the result. But the enemy was too active and too formidable— he turned tail and floundered away down the stream, never halting till he found himself safe in Macintyre's Pool. His flock was scattered, some rushing to the right and some to the left, the greater part finding their way upwards, but many return ing to the safe haven which they had so recently left. The strange fact is, that all this time the river had not undergone the slightest change. It was lower and clearer than it has been almost in the memory of man; not a drop of rain had fallen for weeks; but a change was impending, and we presume that the salmon knew it. Within twenty- four hours thunder showers were pouring down torrents on the hills of Glengarry and Loch Ness, and no doubt the fish were impatient for the slightest hint or premonition that up stream there would shortly be water enough to cover their nakedness." SEBIOUS ACCIDENT TO COLONEL LINDSAY.— On Tuesday the gratifying proceedings connected with the annual prize meetingof the St George's Rifles at the Wormwood Scrubs rifle ranges were brought to a melancholy close in consequence of an accident that befell the commanding officer of the corps, Lieut- Colonel the Hon C. H. Lindsay, while competing with the other officers for a Lans- downe revolver pistol, presented by Lieut Hawkins. A prize was being shot for with revolver pistols, and a competitor, who was standing close to Colonel Lindsay, had fired a shot, when the next chamber of the pistol exploded, and the ball passed ob- liquely through one of Colonel Lindsay's legs. A surgeon was speedily in attendance, and the colonel was taken to his residence in his carriage, which was fortunately at hand. The occurrence was purely accidental. As an illustration of the great esteem in which the commanding officer was held, it should be stated that an order was immediately issued, in accordance with the entire wishes of the corps, to suspend all further prize shooting until the recovery of the gallant officer. SHOCKING MURDER AND SUICIDE AT BETHNAL GBEEN.— On Wednesday morning, Aug 12, shortly after twelve o'clock, a most brutal murder was committed at No. 4, Globe- street, Globe- road, Bethnal Green. The house was occupied by a weaver, named James Dupey, with his wife and three children. They retired to rest shortly after eleven o'clock, all lying in one room, and about midnight a cry of " Murder'' was heard. Several of the imme- diate neighbours rushed out of their dwellings, and met the elder son, about 16 years of age, who exclaimed. " Oh, pray come up- stairs; my father has killed my mother." Mr English, a publican, went to the room, and there saw the wife lying upon a small bed in the corner of the room in her night- dress, with her throat cut from ear to ear, and the bedclothes were saturated with blood. The other children were in a state of the utmost consternation, and the husband had made his escape out of the house, followed by one of the neighbours. He ( Dupey) ran at full speed down Globe- street, in the direction of Victoria Park, where he succeeded in getting clear away. A messenger ran for a police officer, when Sergeant Feist, 163 K, who was near the spot, attended. He sent for Dr. James Rolph, the divisional medical officer, of No. 237, Bethnal Green- road, who promptly attended, and pronounced life extinct. The wound in front of the wife's neck was about six inches in length, and divided all the main arteries. Death must have been instantaneous. Several persons went in pursuit of the murderer, and when they reached the Regent's Canal, near the chief entrance of the park, a coat and hat were found lying on the towing- path. Information was given to the police- constable on the beat, when he called Mr Russell, the lock- keeper, who pro- cured the drags, but the body was not recovered until five o'clock in the morning. Mr Rolph,' the surgeon, examined the body on the towing- path, and found a frightful gash in front of the neck, which had been inflicted immediately before submersion. A razor besmeared with blood was found in the deceased's pocket. BEEACH OFPROMISE OF MABEIAGE.— At the Sheriffs Court, Exe- ter, on Monday, the case of Jarman v Lucas was tried. The plaintiff is the only daughter of Mr Arthur Jarman, who was formerly a builder, residing at Southmolton, and is now overlooker of the farm buildings cf Lord Poltimore. It appeared that the plaintiff left her father's home in April, 1862, to undertake the duties of housekeeper to her brother, Mr J. A. Jarman, who was one of the masters in the Commercial College, at Rippingdon, near Halifax, and is now a partner in the University School, Nottingham. At this time plaintiff s brother w as on very friendly terms with the defendant, who was then also one of the masters of the Commer- cial College, at a salary of £ 150 a year. Defendant frequently visited her brother's house, and an intimacy sprung up between him and plaintiff, which resulted in his being considered as en- gaged to Miss Jarrnan, and he did not deny the fact. Defendant had represented to plaintiff's brother that he was the son of the steward of the Duke of Bedford, he had a brother an officer in the army, and his uncle was one of the contractors for the Great Exhibition of 1862. Several letters were put in on the part of the plaintiff as showing the defendant's affection for her up to the end of 1862, when he broke off the engagement, and the plaintiff returned home in March, 1863, but in conse- quence of her being enceinte she was unable to take a situation as governess in the family of a gentleman, of Edington, in Wark- leigh, who had engaged her. Defendant had been repeatedly re- quested to fulfil his promise, but had refused to do so, and on the 18th March, 1863, Mrs Jarman, the plaintiff's mother, wrote to him, asking him to marry her daughter according to his promise. He made no reply to this letter, or any subsequent communica- tions, and hence the present action. As the defendant allowed judgment to go by default the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff Damages—£' 506 with costs.— Western Times. ROYAL GALLERY OF ILLUSTEATION, 14, REGENT- STEEET.— We perceive by an advertisement that the Gallery of Illustration will close on the 20th inst with a morning and evening representation of the present entertainment, which will be stopped in its success ful career by a provincial engagement at Scarborough and Har- rowgate, and round the south coast of England. We advise the few who have not yet seen the Reed and John Parry to seize the opportunity at once. Consumption, and all nervous, bilious, liver, and stomach com- plaints in every stage, are perfectly cured by Da Barry's health- restoring " Reval'enta Arabica Food, as proved by 60,000 cases which had been considered hopeless. We quote a few :— Cure, No. 46,270. Mr. James Roberts, of Frimley, Surrey, of thirty years' diseased lungs, spitting of blood, constipation, liver derangement, and deafness.— Cure, No. 47,121. Miss Elizabeth Jacobs, of extreme nervousness, indigestion, gatherings, low spirits, and nervous fancies.— Cure, No. 54.816. The Rev. James T. Campbell, Fakenham, Norfolk, " of indigestion and torpidity of the liver, which had resisted all medical treatment.''— In tins, lib., 2s. 9d. ; 121b., 22s.; 241b., 40s.— Barry du Barry and Co., No. 77, Regent- street, London; also at 61, Gracechurch- street; 4, Cheapside; and 26, Place Vendome, Paris; and 12, ruede l'Empereur, Brussels. MUSIC AND DItAMA, PEDESTRIANISM. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—- After several extra nights follow- ing the close ef the subscription, Mr Mapleson brought his second season to a close on the 8th inst, with the twentieth representation of M Gounod's " Faust." Considering all the difficulties to be contended with, the manager has justified the confidence placed in him by his friends and patrons at the commence- ment of his second managerial career at this theatre. Two en- tirely new operas have been given, with a most effective cast of the principal characters, and with as much assistance in the shape of new scenery, dresses, and decorations as the resources of the house would admit of. M Schirra's " Nicolo de Lapi" was an ambitious and successful work, and was very well put upon the stage, and admirably sung. To Mr Mapleson is due also the credit of having been the first to make the English public acquainted with M Gounod's masterly opera of " Faust," and that it should have been given on so many nights of the season is a proof of the esti- mation in which its performance was held. By her singing in both operas, Mdlle Trebelli has risen in public favour; a little more attention to the business of the scene is required for her perfection as a lyrieprtiste. The opera of " Oberon" introduced Mr Sims Reeves once more to the Italian operatic stage, and the revival of " La Figlia del Reggimerito,'' was the means of affording Mdlle Artot the means of making her debut as the lively vivandiere. It is to be deplored that, with the exception of having appeared in " Norma" and the " Traviata," the lady has not been heard in other operas, as from singing night after night Mdlle Titiens's voice has at times become painfully discord- ant and betrayed signs of hard w « rk. Mdlle Volpini made a hit in the " Ballo in Mascliera," and was very suc- cessful in the one representation of " Don Giovanni," in which she took the part of Zerlina. Madame Alboni, who appeared in two operas only, a3 Azucena, in the never- tiring" Trovatore,'' and as Fatima in " Oberon," sang in the most highly- finished manner possible, and made the musical world regret that she was no » heard oftener. Signor Delle Sedie sang six times only, and in one character, that of Renato in the " Ballo," which he seems to have created, as the phrase is. Season after season, whether on the Italian or English stage, Mr Santley continues his steady course of progress and improvement. So conscientious and pains- taking an artiste never solicited the goodwill of all real lovers of good singing, as distinguished from the glittering alloy which opera goers are content to put up with in someEuropean theatres. A pleasant word of comment is due to 8ignor Bettini for his sweet voice and sweet singing in many ungracious parts ; and to Signor Giuglini must be accorded the distinction of having given the music of " Faust" with an evident determination to attain its classical tenderness and beauty. The company wants recruiting in bass voices, the appearances of Signor Violetti and 8ignor Mar- chesi having been only few and far between, and SignorZucchan apparently playing only buffo parts. The band has improved since the last " season, and, with the addition of some first- class violins, would be nearly perfect. Signor Arditi has to be credited for the pains he has taken with both band and chorus, the latter body having acquitted themselves ably in their duties, more especially in the effective choruses in the opera of " Faust.'' And for courtesy and kindness to all parties Mr Nugent deserves the highest commendation— always at his post, and ever willing to oblige, troubles as to seats have disappeared under his ma- nagement. ME ALFEED MELLON'S CONCEBTS.— Mr Mellon commenced a series of promenade csncerts on Monday night at the Eoyal Italian Opera House, Covent Garden, whioh had been prepared for the occasion by taking away the partitions which compose the pit tier of boxes, and by boarding over the stalls and pit on a level with the stage. Mr Mellon was very heartily greeted on making his appearance in the orchestra, and surrounded as he was by nearly a hundred of the first performers on their various in- struments in this country, his short season bids fair to be a highly successful one. The concert commenced with a brilliant performance of Auber's " Exhibition March," which was quite exhilarating to listen to, and formed a great contrast to the " Ex- hibition Overture," by Meyerbeer, subsequently played at the close of the first part. Mdlle Carlotta Patti sang the S wiss'' Echo song,'' by Eckert, the finale to the " Sonnambula" with its beau- ful coda, and the pretty sparkling " Laughing Song," from " Manon Lescaut," and as an encore was awarded to the last named, the lady enchanted her hearers by giving them an arch version of the old Scotch song " Coming thro' the rye." A Signor Vailati made his firstappearance in England, and played a solo on the Mandolin on airs from " Trovatore, whilst Mr Carrodus, one of our best violinists, played one of Molique's " Fandangos'' in his very best style. The Adagio and Scherzo from Beethoven's Choral Symphony was excellently rendered by the band, who rattled through the overture to " Fra Diavolo" at a rate, and set many of the audience ready to dance by their spirited execution of the " Dramatic College Quadrille" and other dance music. Since Monday, a Mozart night has been given, and the bills in- form us that a classical night will be held weekly, also that Fri- days will be devoted to oratorios, and Saturdays to Volunteers, and that a selection from the opera of " Faust'' will be one of the earliest novelties to be produced. CEYSTAL PALACE.— In addition to the recital of " Faust," given here in the early part of the month, the farce of " Trying it On" has been performed by the talented company of the Strand Theatre. Such an attraction is far more legitimate and pleasing than exhibitions of rope- dancers and acrobats periling their lives for the morbid gratification of idle sight- seers and sensation- hunters. GALLEBY OF ILLUSTRATION.— The days and nights at the " Charming Cottage" are coming to an end. After the 20th of this month Mr and Mrs German Reed and Mr Parry intend, it is said, to migrate to the south coast for a short season. PRINCESS'S THEATBE.— This house is going to be opened for a term by Mr Walter Montgomery, who intends to limit the per- formances entirely to the legitimate drama. MB SOTHERN.— Rumours are current in town that this ad- mirable comedian has been taken ill during his provincial cam- paign, and that an engagement about to be commenced at Leeds has been abandoned in consequence. All lovers of genuine hu- mour and refined acting will look with interest for accounts of his convalescence and return to the stage. NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.— In future all advertisements for thig department of Bell's Life in London must reach our office on Thursdays, before four o'clock, or they will not be inserted until the following week. They must not exceed seven lines in length, or they will be charged double, and so on in proportion for every succeeding seven lines. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. RECRUITING FOE POLAND.— At Bow- street, on Tuesday, Alfred Styles, described as formerly a lieutenant in Garibaldi s army, was remanded for further examination on charges of '' unlawfully attempting to procure certain persons to enlist and be employed as soldiers in the service arid aid of certain foreign people— to wit, the ' Poles,' who are now in arms against and opposed to his Im- perial Majesty the Emperor of Russia.'' It appeared that in July last advertisements were inserted in the Daily Telegraph among the columns devoted to applications for and by domestic servants to this effect:—" An engagement is open for several young men to proceed abroad. Applications by letter only, enclosing refe- rences as to respectability and present employment, to be addressed to L. Z., 36, Seething- lane, Great Tower- street, E. C.'' This advertisement was answered by a young man named Taylor, who was in search of a situation, and who, to his utter astonish- ment. received the following reply to his application:—" 10, Buckingham- street, Adelphi, Strand, W. C.— Sir: In reply to yours of the 23d inst, a few Englishmen have resolved to offer their services in aid of the Poles, now gallantly fighting to rescue their country from the tyrannical and despotic rule of Russia. It is intended to form a regiment of volunteers, composed of gentlemen, sons of tradesmen, clerks, and others of respectability, who have offered their services to the National Government, many who hare seen hard fighting in Italy under the gallant General Garibaldi having already tendered their services; and, as unity is strength, the few who are re- quired to make up the number will be immediately enrolled. An English general of great experience in the Crimea and Italy will be appointed to command, and all officers from such volunteers as have seen service or are otherwise qualified ; in fact, promo- tion to be made entirely from the ranks. The exclusive nature of the corps will admit of j our joining without any detriment to your social position, and a description roll is enclosed, which I beg you will do me the favour to fill up and forward at your earliest convenience, should the plan meet with your approba- tion. I shall also feel obliged by your enclosing one or two postage stamps to cover the outlay of any future correspondence. An immediate decision is expected from the National Govern- ment, who will provide everything n. ecessary for each volunteer, and further particulars can be obtained by applying personally at the above address any day between ten and eight o'clock. Permit me to suggest that on each interview to avoid discussion outside the office or in or near the street, as a few may congregate and attract that attention which would excite curiosity of the inha- bitants of the immediate neighbourhood. In conclusion, let me impress upon you the necessity of not making this known to asy but the personal friends who sympathise with the cause in which I hope you will soon be engaged.— I am, sir, your faithful ser- vant, Lieutenant A. Styles ( late Garibaldian Army)."— Taylor had an interview with the prisoner, and subsequently gave informa- tion to the Russian authorities, by whom the proceedings were instituted.— Styles was held to bail in two sureties of £ 100 each. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICEMAN.— At Marylebone, on Tuesday, John Brown, a painter and glazier, was charged with violently assaulting Police- constable Grant, 330 D, tearing his uniform coat, and destroying his hat, he being drunk at the time. — Grant said that about ten at night he was called to Earl- street, where he was informed that a man was murdering a woman. He went upstairs, and was met on the first floor by the prisoner with a large iron candlestick and a broom in his hands. Prisoner said, " I will murder you,'' and struck him a heavy blow with the broom on the left cheek. He then struck him a blow on his hat, smashing it in right over his face, at the same time throwing him down, and rendering him insensible. His clothes were very much torn in the struggle.— George Jewell, lately in the police, said the landlady of the house drew his attention to the way in which Grant had been served, and he saw the officer very mush ex- hausted, and assisted in taking the prisoner to the police station. — Grant added that on the way to the station prisoner held up a shilling, and wanted him to settle the matter for it. ( The hat was produced, and was quite unfit for any further use.)— Mr. Yard ley considered that this was a case for a jury, ordered the depositions to be taken, and fully committed the prisoner for trial. A LOVING BROTHER.— At Worship- street, on Wednesday, Charlotte Rann, a decent- looking mechanic's wife, charged Alfred Thoroughgood, her brother, with an assault upon her.— Complainant, who appeared to be very weak, said: I have a very good husband, but my brother gets him away from home. Last night this was the case, and I left our home in Thomas- street, Homerton, to seek for him. On the way I called at defendant's house, and learning that my husband had been there, mildly expostulated with him upon his misconduct, upon which he quite saturated me with water, and then, forcing me into a corner of the yard, beat me very badly with his fists; but I do not wish to press the charge against him severely.— Ann Frost, a neighbour of defendant, put a more serious complexion on the charge in question by her evidence, which was this: Last night I heard loud screams proceeding from the defendant's premises, and, on going there, found him with his hands round her throat. I thought he would have strangled her. She was bleeding from the back of the head very freely. I struggled with him to get her away, and did so, but was covered with blood in the effort. She was down at the time.— Constable: Both were sober. Complainant was bleeding profusely.— Defendant, a very morose- featured man, merely said that his sister had no right to go to his house, and that her husband was not there at the time.— Mr Cooke remarked that the assault— a very bad one in itself— was aggravated by the close relationship of the parties. He deemed it a cruel and cowardly act, and should send the perpetrator of it to labour hard for six weeks in the House of Correction. MURDEROUS ATTACK ON A POLICEMAN BY POACHERS.— A murderous attack was made upon Police- constable Siater, of the Derbyshire constabulary, August 10. It appears that about ten o'clock on the evening in question Slater was on duty in Rad- boume- lane, three miles from Derby, when he met with three notorious poachers, carrying nets and armed with bludgeons. The poachers immediately, without any provocation, came up, knocked the officer down, and beat him in the most murderous manner. He resisted as long as he could, but, as he had to contend against three powerful fellows, his efforts were almost useless. The ruffians, thinking they had given him enough, decamped, and Slater was afterwards oonveyed to Derby and placed under surgical care, and although his wounds are serious, they are not considered of a dangerous nature. As the poachers are'known, there is no doubt they will be speedily apprehended, the county and borough police being actively in pursuit of them. FATAL GUN ACCIDENT.— A very melancholy accident occurred on Monday, Aug 3, on the Tweed, at Yarrow Haugh, opposite Berwick Plantation. Gunner Coxe, of Her Majesty's gunboat Lively, with a crew of two men and a boy, left the gunboat about one o'clock on Monday afternoon in the cutter to convey a party of ladies to a picnic up the Tweed. There was a loaded musket at the bottom of the boat. When above the Border Bridge one of the men saw a number of birds, upon which the gun was capped. On reaching Yarrow Haugh, the party landed, and were seated some distance from the boat, when the gun lay in the boat's bottom, the muzzle extending a few inches over the gunwale. One of the crew, Thomas O'Brien Liddle, was engaged getting the things ashore, while Thomas Gregory, who was out of but close to the boat, asked Liddle if he should take the gun a3hore. Liddle twice told him to let the gun remain. The boy, who was a short distance from the boat, saw Gregory reach his hand to the gun, and almost immediately after the piece went off. Gregory fell to the ground, and only said, " Oh, Tom, I'm shot!" Liddle jumped ashore, and seeing Gregory's hand bleeding, and thinking the wound in the hand the only one, bound it up. Gunner Coxe arrived instantly, and finding blood issuing from Gregory's chest, tore open his clothes and discovered a larne wound in his breast. Gregory died in less than two minutes after the occurrence, and MATCHES TO COME.

PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW. TODMAN AND PHILLIPS.— On Saturday, Aug 8, these metropo- litans met on Mr C. Wrilson's enclosed ground to run 100 yards, for £ 10 a side. The betting was even. J. Jacques ( the pedes- trian) was chosen referee. Phillips was allowed three yards start, and was placed the given distance in advance. The men had to go by mutual consent, but if not away within 15 minutes, then to go by report of pistol. After some few attempts the pe- destrians bounded off, Phillips, who displayed more agility in making the break than his opponent, gaining an additional yard to the start allowed. At a rattling pace Phillips maintained the lead until half the distance bad been covered, when Todman rapidly closed on his man. So had he improved his position that when the competitors had reached within a few yards of the finish he was not more than some two or three feet in the rear. Although Todman had evinced such a commanding turn of speed still Phillips remained to the fore, and, being so close on the " cords," his partisans thought he would succeed in maintaining the advantage to the end. Todman. however, despite the strenu- ous efforts of his opponent, succeeded in " wedging" in on his man's quarters ; yet so close together were they on passing the goal that the referee decided it to be a " dead heat," and they have come to an arrangement to run off on Saturday next. RADLEY AND PINE.— These men likewise ran one mile, for £ 5 a side. The match was admirably sustained until three quarters of a mile had been completed, when Pine, who proved to have the most " steel" left in him, went rattling away from his oppo- nent, and won with ease, Radley not going the distance out. O'MALLEY AND BUNN.— These pedestrians had to contend in a spin of 200 yards, for £ 5 a side, Bunn being allowed ten yards start. On getting off O'Malley gained rapidly on his man, and finished an easy winner, Bunn having the " rise'' taken out of him in a most decided manner, as from the first 100 yards he had no chance. In addition to the foregoing matches there was a mile handicap for money prizes, which brought to the post 13 competitors. Among those who formed the leading men of the " team" the match was spiritedly contested, Brown of Whitechapel, who re- ceived 140 yards start, being the winner; Parker 140 second, Fuller ( a lad) 210 being a good third. G. DAVIS AND STOCKWELL — On Monday, Aug 10, these pe- destrians attended here to walk seven miles, for £ 25 a side, Stock- well receiving one minute, but the whole proceedings were con- ducted in a manner that reflects anything but credit, on those concerned, as the affair was one scene of disorder and confusion. Stockwell in the time allowed covered 300 yards, and from the moment Davis had started in pursuit he gained ground in amsst decided manner, having on the termination of the third mile decreased the gap by fully 80 yards. Davis has gained the un- enviable notoriety of being an unfair walker; and, as on former occasions, his style was objected to by the friends of Stockwell, and he had to be cautioned several times. The warnings given, how- ever, by the referee did not by any means have the effect of inducing Davis to make any improvement in his style, therefore he was dis- qualified by that functionary in the fourteenth lap, this being while the men were performing the fifth mile. Davis asserts the referee was intimidated to decide against him, and fur- ther states he himself was stopped once during the match by some of Stockwell's friends, and was treated, so far aa the match is concerned, most unfairly, as the opposing party did all that was possible to harass him. It must be borne in mind the articles ex- pressly stipulated the first man found walking unfairly was to be disqualified. Thus, then, it will be seen the referee has carried out the terms of the articles, therefore the decision of this functionary must be final. Davis has entered a protest against the stakes being given up, therefore under these circumstances the customary guarantee against law proceedings will be requisite before Stock- well can receive them on Thursday next. So thoroughly dis- gusted is the proprietor of the ground with the " scene" enacted there on this occasion that we are informed by J. Pudney, the M. C., that only in certain cases will walking matches for the future be allowed to take place on the Olympia Ground, as such doings" as took place on Monday, Aug 10, are entirely opposed to all the fair and recognised principles among sportsmen. PEDESTRIANISM AT BR0MPT0N. 8. BARKER OF BILLINGSGATE AND W. JONES OF ISLINGTON. — These old opponents met on Monday, Aug 10, on J. Roberts's enclosed ground, to run four miles, for £ 50 a side, the meeting being well attended by the admirers of the competitors, who had to make the circuit of the course sixteen times to complete the dis- tance. The race had been fixed for six o'clock, and some few minutes after the appointed time the pedestrians came on the course, Barker being waited on by Howse of Stepney, while Harry Andrews looked after Jones. The betting was 6 to 4 in fa- vour of Barker, and there was a good deal of money speculated on the result. Both men stated they were all that could be needed in condition, although it struck us the Islingtonian did not by any means look so well as we have seen him on previous occasions. The toss for sides was won by Jones, who, therefore, on taking up his position at the mark, had his opponent on the left hand. On the start being effected the men from the commencement went away at a clipping pace, and as they went rattling along the back of the course Jones had the lead; yet so well was Barker following, that the Billingsgate clipper was at most not more than two yards in the rear. In this position they raced on to the completion of the lap, the " quarter" being covered in lmin 3sec. As the pedestrians went by the referee and entered upon the second lap the struggle became more than ever ex- citing, for it was apparent Jones, with the lead, was try- in « r to cut his opponent down by making the pace too severe for Sam to last at. Barker, however, proved quite equal to all that was required of him, for notwithstanding J » nes made the most strenuous efforts to widen the gap between them he could not succeed. When the men went by the goal for the finish of the second lap ( 2min 12sec) the Islingtonian was still to the fore, yet so close was Sam in the rear that not more than a short span separated them. The competitors had now entered upon the third lap, and as they went careering along the back of the course Barker challenged his man, came to the fore, and on the finish of the lap ( 3min 26sec) had succeeded in placing a rather formidable gap between them. While racing the fourth round Barker gradually increased the distance between himself and opponent, and on going by the referee for the termination of the first mile ( 4min 42sec) was leading by something like 10 yards. The match may now be said to have been virtually over, for as Barker succeeded in outpacing his opponent, he" proved, by the fine turn of speed displayed, that he had command of the situation. Throughout the performance of the second mile ( 10min7sec) Barker left his man more and more in the rear, the Islingtonian, as they passed for the beginning of the third mile, being fully 30 yards to the bad. Jones continued to run on until the termination of the eleventh lap ( two miles and three- quarters), when, finding it was useless to continue the struggle, he resigned, therefore Barker won with ease. The stakes can be received by the winner at our office on Thursday, August 20, at twelve o'clock. On Saturday, August 15, the ground is engaged by a party of amateurs until six p. m., after which there will be a half mile handicap, for money prizes; admission 3d only. This ground, the best and pleasantest in London, can be reached by rail from any station on the North London line to Chelsea, by omnibus, or steamboat to Battersea, and can be hired on easy terms. Apply to Mr Roberta. ASH TREE GROUNDS, TIVIDALE. D. Howard and J. Smith ( both of Darlaston) have signed articles to run 100 yards, here, for £ 5 a side, on Monday, Aug 24. Mr J. Thomas referee. J.

Acland of Dudley Port are matched to run 120 yards, for £ 5 a side, here, Acland having a start of three yards and a half. £ 1 a side is now down in the hands of Mr Challingworth, Bull's Head Inn, Dudley, and a further de- posit of £ 1 a side is to be made on Monday, Aug 17, to Mr Chal- lingworth, who is to be final stakeholder and referee; to run Aug 31. __ HACKNEY WICK GROUND.— This ground on Monday, Aug 10, was well attended by the metropolitans, it being for the benefit of the celebrated Jem Mace of the P. R., who is to fight Joe Goss of Wolverhampton in September next, for £ 1,000, Mace staking £ 600 to £ 400. The principal feature of the day's proceedings was some excellent sparring in the roped ring, the wind- up being be- tween Jem Mace and his old opponent, Tom King. In addition to this there were some well- contested foot races. The number of persons present was very little short of 2,000. MILITARY RACE ON CHATHAM LINES.— On Saturday, Aug 8, there was a numerous attendance of the military from the garri- son, and civilians from the towns of Chatham and Brompton, to witness a mile spin between Private King of the 4th King's Own and Private Ravey of the Chatham Division Royal Marine Light Infantry. The course was marked out with flags, and was well kept by parties and soldiers who volunteered their services on the occasion. The odds were 4 to 1 on Ravey, and there being a very large number of officers present a good deal of money was specu- lated by them on the two men, whose characters were well known by their friends. About six o'clock the two pedestrians with their friends emerged from a tent, and came up to the mark, making a good start. On getting off they both kept well together for about 200 yards, when Ravey went in advance, and made a formidable gap. On the completion of the first lap, and the second, third, evidently beaten on the third time going round, the course ) being a q^ r of a mile. MALTA.— In 6ieUi » jg little affair Jarnfl off the gliesna- ropd. Malta, on the 18th July, between K. Hot^ rt?, OTivafo ( Hid Regt) and Sergt Rowe ( 25th Regt), for £ 15 a side, distance ISO yards. After a few false starts they bounded from the scratch, Roberts having a shade the best of the start. In this position they kept up to 100 yards, when the littie private began to creep from his opponent, and ran in a gallant winner by between four and five yards, amidst deafening cheers. His Excellency Sir G. Le Mar- chant and a great number of the officers of the garrison were present, and took great interest in the proceedings. The odds were slightly in favour of the 25th man previous to starting, but level at starting, Roberts can now be backed to run 150 yards, for from £ 15 to £ 30 a side, against any man on the island. THE GREAT FIVE MILES CHAMPION BELT OF ENGLAND.— On Monday, Aug 17, at Hackney Wick, the first act in the great drama for the Five Miles Championship of England will be de- cided at Mr Baum's Grounds. The mission of the famed Hackney Wick hath ever been to bring out champions, so in the strict and full meaning of the word, those who are able to single them- selves out, and by speed, endurai ce, and stamina, prove to be the very elite of the fleet- footed, can do so. Since the announcement of this contest, as well may be imagined, it has created a ureater amount of interest, not only among the public at large, but mora especially among the professors, the very first of the day in pe- destrianiem, as the following entry will show, namely, the wonder Lang, Young England, Pat Stapleton, James Sanderson, indomi- table Barker, Welsh Richards, the bounding Brunei], untiring Andrews, Marsh of Brighton, and others. This will be a contest rarely witnessed, and will be right worthy of a journey to see even the men appear, apart from seeing them run. The beautiful trophy to be contended for has never been surpassed, as a visit to Mr Wilson's, the Spotted Dog, in the Strand, will fully prove, where the Champion Belt of England will be exhibited until twelve o'clock on Monday, Aug i7. On this occasion it will be the first appearance of Stapleton and Sanderson in London, who will both arrive in London this evening, Aug 15, Stapleton taking up his quarters at Jesse Smith's, and Sanderson the swift will be at Mr Wilson's, ithe Spotted Dog, Strand, and no doubt at both crowded levees will be the result, more especially as Lang will show at both places in the evening. As to the result of the race all must be conjecture, but Laug, in his present form, is and will continue the favourite, on account of his late perform- ances. Sanderson is said to be sweet, and many think the journey will be his forte. It is also the favourite distance of Mills, and as he has been " lying by'' specially, the famed Young England will not lack friends. The ethers named need no com ment ; the prizes added, up to the fourth in the race, will make all persevere ; and even if the greatest " pot'' boils over, a split- ting contest from end to end will ensue. Stapleton is now matched with Lang for a mile, and it is said that this will be a « ' trial" between them for that distance, whoever he may be who wins the five miles. Wre have given the conditions before:— if any- one can win it three times consecutively it is his own for ever; to accept all challenges for as low as £ 10, a third and fourth to join in, and the winner to take the belt and stakes. To add to the day's sport, the deciding heat for the Half- mile Handicap comes off prev iously, at six o'clock, when the six winners in the prelimi- nary trials will contend, viz:— Sutton 60 yards start, Lake 90, G. Parker 90, Wilkinson 80, Riley 60, and Coe 90, will run off. Notwithstanding the importance of the great Champion Race, Mr W. Price has decided that the price of admission shall be only sixpence on to- morrow ( Monday, Aug 17), to see the greatest of pedestrians of any day. All will run in colours, and" the start for the Champion Belt at half- past six o'clock precisely. MATCH AGAINST TIME.— An off- hand match was made on Saturday, Aug 8, for the well- known Martin of Maidstone to run 50 miles in seven hours, which attempt came off on Monday, Aug 10, Martin starting from Southampton- street, Pentonville, and had to go and return from the first milestone this side of In- gatestone, in Essex. Considering that Martin was not aware of the match being made till late on the Saturday previous, his de- feat by Time by 8min 41sec is not to be wondered at; but so san- guine are his friends that, with proper preparation, he can be backed to do the same for £ 25 a side, and any night next week the match can be made at Mr Wilson's, Spotted" Dog, 298, Strand. SALT AND HANCOCK.— These men are matched to run 200 yards, for £ 15 a side, open for £ 25, at the Copenhagen Grounds, Man- chester, on Sept 7.

The births DAMAGES FOR A RAILWAY ACCIDENT.— At the Worcester County Sheriff's Court an action Derry v West Midland Railway Company occupied some time. Mr Huddleston, Q. C., and Mr Dowdeswell, of the Oxford Circuit, were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr Powell for the company. It was an action brought by Mr Phillip Derry, butcher, of Great Malvern, to recover damages for injuries sustained by a railway collision on the Worcester and Hereford section of the above line, in October, 1861. It appeared that the plaintiff was travelling on the above line, when at a place called Shelwick, where the Shrewsbury and Hereford and the Worcester and Hereford lines unite, a collision took place, and Mr Derry was injured in the head. He had been doing a large busi- ness " up to that time, but was now unable to attend to it. He rented premises at Malvern at £ 170 a year, and land at £ 120, and had been allowed to overdraw his account at his banker's to the amount of £ 1,700. His average sale of meat per week WP. S four or five cattle, 70 sheep, and five calves. The medi- cal evidence was to the effect that the plaintiff's nervous system had been shattered, the shock to the nervous system rendering him incapable of attending to his business. Another surgeon, Mr Bishop, said the plaintiff's memory was quite incapable of exertion, and he thought he would never recover mentally. Di- Sherlock, medical superintendent of the Worcester County Luna- tic Asylum, whose practice has been devoted almost exclusively to cases of diseases of the brain, had examined the plaintiff, and had arrived at the conclusion that he was in a very hopeless state; that he would go on from bad to worse, and that the case would terminate fatally. He saw no scientific reason for hoping that he would ever recover. Other medical evidence having been, given, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for £ 1,600. HEALTH OF LONDON.— The deaths in London in the week ending August 8 were 1,402, being 150 above the average. There were 49 deaths from small- pox, 115 from scarlatina, 15 from neon.

MONDAY, AUG 10.— The attendance to- day, as on the cor- responding one of the previous week, was immense, and the settling proportionately extensive. Some little irregularity usually occurs in sending in accounts after the " South Coast Meetings," and in one or two quarters complaints were made this afternoon on the subject. Only one case, however, was spoken of as a suspicious one, and as that is not entirely hopeless, we forbear for the present further allusion to it. There was very little subsequent attempt to renew speculation, for both backers and layers were waiting for the Ebor " acceptances,'' and the only " feature" of the afternoon was the return of Lord Clifden to 7 to 1 for the St Leger.

THE NEW OPERATION FOR ROARING. MB EDITOR : A considerable degree of interest has lately been ex. cited in the racing world through the success of an operation for the cure of roaring. Mr Eobinson, of Tamworth, whose great ex- perience and skill upon all subjects connected with his profession entitle him to that confidence which he enjoys, and so deservedly in the estimation of all who know him, lias introduced a novel mode of treatment: that of firing the throat in cases of incipient roaring. In the instance of the Ace of Clubs, a race horse of celebrity, known to have been a decided roarer. Mr Robinson has so far succeeded in remedying his malady as to have restored him t ® his old form, and to have enabled him to run and win at all distances, as was evinced by his performances at Goodwood. To the many questions I have had put to me about this operation, I could only answer some, and the information I possess does not warrant me in holding out any hope that it will be of any benefit in the case of a confirmed roarer, when the malady has existed some time ; still the success which has attended Mr Robinson's operation in several instances is quite sufficient to recommend it for trial in all incipient cases. So long since as the year 1829, I had dissected the throats of several roarers, in old horses, which were destroyed in the Royal Stables, and I found in every one of them wasting of the muscles of the larynx, on one side only, from paralysis of them, but as these cases were chiefly from amongst harness horses, I attributed the cause to be in some way ( more or less) dependent upon pressure the larynx had been subjected to, from the bearing rein, which in those days was often tight enough to choke any horse. This appearance of the muscles had been ob- served by others, but at the titne it was new to me, and I took the trouble to have a cast taken in wax of the diseased parts, and I published the history of it, but it was only looked upon as an oc- casional occurrence, and but little attention was paid to it. It is now, however, admitted to be the prevalent cause of roaring, and I have Professor Spooner's opinion for asserting this, and he states a curious fact connected with it, that the wasting of the muscles is always on the left side of the larynx. How this is to be explained I know not, but the time I hope may soon arrive when we may be enabled to attain some more definite in- formation upon the causes which lead to this derangement of the nervous influence of the muscles of the throat. The preparation I have alluded to is to be seen at the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, No. 10, Red Lion- square, and a fac simile of it at Messrs Millikin's, the surgical instrument makers, next door to King's College, in the Strand. At either place any of your readers will find no difficulty in obtaining a sight of a perfect representa- tion of the parts in their altered condition, and it has been justly satd, " We receive impressions more readily from visible objects, we feel them more strongly, we retain them more durably.'' To anyone who takes an interest in the subject I would recommend an inspection of the preparation as the means of obtaining a better knowledge of the disease than can be conveved by a literal de- scription.— Yours, & e. W. J. GOODWIN. Hampton Court, Aug 12. THE AUTUMN HANDICAPS. TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIB: On looking over the entries for the Great Autumn Han- dicaps I perceive the names of a number of animals which have been used most extensively this season for " milking" purposes. It is to be hoped the handicapper has made a note of some of the most notorious. The remedy tor these disgraceful proceedings, which bring the Turf into discredit, lies altogether in the hands of the handioappers. Public opinion will always support them in their efforts to cleanse the Turf of these members who disgrace it, and whose sole object is plunder. The remedy is simple— crush their horses with weight, and render it impossible for them to win under any circumstances. The racing public will thus be pro- tected against robbery of the worst kind, and the best interests of genuine racing established.— Yours, & c, H. E. THE FUNERAL OF DREW. ( FROM A CORKESPONDENT.) The funeral of poor Drew took place on Monday last, from his old master's ( Mr A. Taylor's) house. The body was carried to its last resting place by six lads in the stable, who had been his chief companions, and the whole of the other lads in the establishment, twenty- four in number, followed; together with Mr Taylor, Mr J. Goater, and a few of the relatives of the deceased. The little village church of Fyfield was crammed, so much was Drew respected, and many were the tears that fell round the grave of one so untimely cut off, so young and full of promise as he was deemed by all, either in this neighbourhood or by those who knew him better in public.

READING RACES, 1864.— Lord Bateman and Mr B. Sutton are the stewards elect for next year. It is proposed to prolong the meeting over three days. LICHFIELD RACES.— The Beaudesert Welter Cup— particulars of which will be found in our advertising columns— closes on Tues- day next, the 18th inst. WOLVERHAMPTON, 1861.— The Marquis of Hastings, the Earl of Stamford, Count Batthyany, G. Payne, and Mr R. Ten iiroeck have accepted the stewardship of these races next year. THE YORK RACE COURSE.— This course is in beautiful order, a very heavy rain having set in on Wednesday night and con- tinued up to noon on Thursday. We hear that Harry Hall is at present engaged on a large pic- ture of Stockwell for Mr Naylor. Stockwell's great repute as a race horse and sire will demand the artist's best efforts, and we anticipate the pleasure of a view of the picture during our next visit to Newmarket. STOCKTON RACES, 1863.— We beg to call the attention ef owners and trainers to an advertisement detailing particulars of the Town Plate, the Thornaby Selling Plate, and the Garbutt Nursery Pedestrian Handicap Stakes, which close and name on the Tues- day in York race week, August 18. LEICESTER RACES.— Lord Hastings has generously given £ 50 for a new two year old race at this forthcoming meeting, to be called the Castle Donnington Nursery Handicap. The entries for the different events are more than usually numerous, and a capital gathering is anticipated. RACING IN BELGIUM.— It may not be generally known to English owners and trainers that horses on their way to any of the Belgium race meetings are only charged half fares on the Belgian railways, while the man in charge of them travels gratis. A special ticket for the conveyance of horses on the above terms may be obtained on application to Mr Ernest Parent, the director of the Journal des Haras at Brussels, who will, moreover, be happy to afford every information concerning the forthcoming race and steeple chase meetings in Belgium. GREAT YARMOUTH RACES.— Lord W. Powlett, Sir E. H. R. Lacon, M. P., Mr E. Howes, M. P., and Lieut- Col Coke, M. P., have consented to act as Stewards at these races, fixed for Tuesday stud Wednesday, Sept 22 and 23. The principal event of the first day is the Norfolk and Suffolk Handicap of 10 sovs each, with 100 adcled. Not withstanding the difficulties under which the meeting laboured at the outset, an excellent programme has now been prepared. BBIGG RACES.— An attempt has been made to revive races at Brigg, Lincolnshire, this week. The first event was the Town Stakes of 2 sovs each, with 10 added, and the entries were:— Mr J. Hayes's b m Flotilla, Mr Trolley's b g Birdlime, and Mr Walker's bk ' g Black Doctor. The Doctor was beaten off in the first round, and Birdlime then took up the running, closely waited on by the mare; in the straight run home she took the lead, and after a severe struggle won by half a length. A match between Mr Taylor's Tom Bowline and Mr Hobson's Kitty was won by Tom. The Innkeepers' Stakes of 1 sov each, with 5 added, for horses having never won 25 sovs, were contested by Mr Gurnhill s ch m Ratcatcher's Daughter, Mr Johnson's Alice Grey, and Mr Kitchen's Miss Hill; won by Ratcatcher's Daughter after a close run in. The Hack Race, entrance 1 sov, with a purse of 5 sovs added, was won by Alice. LEWES, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND READ- ING NOTES, WITH ANTICIPATIONS OF YORK AUGUST MEETING. The amount of success that attended the meeting at Lewes on Friday and Saturday week last was surprising) when it is taken into consideration ttiere had been seven days' racing in Sussex just previously, for it might naturally have been supposed all the horses trained in the surrounding districts had been run through, and many of the events reduced to certain- ties. However, the fact of one hundred and seven contest- ing the fourteen different races proves the contrary to be the case, and nearly all the " certainties'' were upset on the first day, Michel Grove commencing well for the home stable and tht, fielders by carrying off the Welter Cup with the steadier of list 121b, which was an excellent performance, as he gave Alci- biade, who was only fourth, more weight than did General Hess on the Club day at Brighton, and won by downright staying, a quality he never before had the credit of possessing, but which may eventually prove to be his forte, as it certainly is that of Rattle's younger son, Blackdown. The Priory Stakes was doubly unfortunate, the accident that happened to Hengist while en route not having become known in tune for many to reach the scene who only stayed at home in consequence of his formidable appearance; but there was a slashing race, after all, between Eastminster ( who appeared a trifle shin- sore) and Olivia, the former, who was third to Molly Carew and Hengist at Winches- ter, only landing the odds laid on him by the shortest of heads, thanks to Fordham's brilliant jockeyship, and to the delight of the backers, most of whom were taken by surprise when his number was hoisted. The Queen's Plate was almost as near a thing between Bellman and Caller Ou, the former having made the pace to suit himself for two thirds of the distance, so that the mare's superior staying qualities scarcely had full play, as they only raced in earnest for little more than half a mile. The minor events on Friday were chiefly remarkable for the bad form displayed by Lord Westmoreland's Usher and Confidence in the two selling plates. They were made tremendous " pots," and how Confidence came to get beaten by Confusion seems inexplicable, especially on looking at his performance in the Castle Stakes on Saturday— when Attraction proved she had a right to beat Usher, by the easy man- ner in which she cantered away from everything, the improve- ment displayed on her spring form being so remarkable that there was quite a furore to obtain possession of her, the funds being benefited to the tuneof 430sovsin consequence. TheCounty Cup was a sporting race, as it was to prove the relative merits of the Clown, one of the best two year olds out, and the fastest mare in training over a T. Y. C.; but Lady Clifden, who had 91b the worst of the weights, beat the youngster all the way, although he obtained such a measure of her as must be very useful to the friends of Paris, who was tried with Clown at Good wood— and if he can beat the latter easily, as is asserted, Mr Ten Broeck may plume him- self upon possessing one of the fastest two year olds of his year. The Lewes Handicap attracted nine runners— a couple more than the Brighton Stakes— but how many were prepared for the struggle we will not attempt to say, leaving our readers to form their own conclusions from the markat operations, and the fact of moderate animals like Lord of Linne and Balham nearly dis- tancing the remainder of the field, for it is patent the last- named is either very soft or incapable of staying two miles. The Nursery endorsed the opinion we expressed in our last that Madame Walton was something more than moderate, as she gave weight to everything in the race, and won from end to end : Sea Boy, who ran The Clown to a length at Brighton, with 121b between them, being among the unplaced, and making it appear there is little difference between Mr Bar- ber's colt and Madame, who gave Sea Boy 4lb, and beat him many a length. There was nothing requiring the analyst in any of the remaining events, one of which, the Town Plate, maintained its prestige by producing nineteen starters, East Sheen, who had won the De Warrenne on the first day with 7st 121b, winning easily with an additional 121b in the saddle, and proving there must have been something wrong when she could not show in the Stewards' Cup at Goodwood, with 7st 41b, for which she was backed by her owner. Our Wolverhampton notes need not extend to any great length, as neither the quality nor quantity of the horses assisting in the majority of the contests can be called first- rate, Fairwater having " nothing to beat'' in the Cup, and Geduld being equally fortunate in the Nursery, which she was bound to win with 6st lib after her running at Lewes with 6st 101b, in the absence of Madame Walton, as Hypatia was giving her 201b. Lord of Linne displayed the wretched character of his Lewes opponents by running six lengths behind Misfortune for the Holyoake, for we do not forget how easily Johnny Armstrong ran away from Misfortune, con- ceding 261b, at Liverpool. It was a treat to see such a pair as Lady Ciifden and Livingstone contest the Patshull ; but the rnare had it all her own way, and the form she displayed here, at Lewes, and at Brighton, will make out that she must have been " off' at Goodwood. Lord Stamford elected to run Procella and Acolyte in place of Leicester for the Fifth Biennial, and his colours finished first and last, Procella running up to her Epsom form ( third to Fille de l'Air and Molly Carew), as she won easily from a lot who can boast of good looks, if the performances of the majority have not yet brought them into notoriety. The absence of Light and Cranbury robbed the Chillington, the two year old event of the second day, of some of its interest, but there was plenty of excitement when Faith upset the two " pots"— Persuasion and Acolyte— and the performance was as creditable to her as that we witnessed at Harpenden, for Persuasion has a great turn of speed, and Aco- lyte's previous defeats were not an index ef his true form, being attributable to a want of preparation. The fourth Stamford Bi- ennial tended to check the ardour of Borealis's St Leger backers, a close race from the distance between her. Trumps, and Gladstone, resulting in her defeat by a head— which was not St Leger form, any more than was that displayed by her stable com- panion, Caller Ou, a month before she landed the green and gold at Doncaster two years ago. Bearing this in mind, the operators would not inflict the knocking out the " form" entitled Borealis to receive, and she may possibly he a very different filly on the 3t Leger day, it being patent that Mr I'Anson— a la John Scott— does not intend she shall be ready for the grand struggle a day too soon. From the result of the Wolverhampton Stakes, it must be inferred either that the Goodwood Stakes performers were a very moderate lot, or Oldminster has returned to his old form, for the latter, who hitherto ran very badly all this season, gave Jack o' Hearts 261b and a good beating, Change splitting the pair. The latter was said to have been disappointed more than once in getting through his horses; but it was true running enough on the part of the two three year olds, when taking into account Change's performance with Spencer at Bath, and that Magnum Bonum ( who was heads or tails with Jack o' Hearts in the Goodwood Stakes) just beat Spencer at Brighton; and we must suppose that Oldminster, whose defeats since he was a three year old have generally been attri- buted to his bad temper, took it into his head to try again for once. Isoline could not live with the front three at the great disparity in the weights, but beat all the others, proving there was no mistake in the result of the Goodwood Cup, and that the cruel race for the Queen's Plate did not ruin her, as many feared it would. The most noteworthy incidents of the minor events were the triumphs of Ophelia and Hesper in the Shakspere and Borough Members' Handicaps. They were both creditable per- formances, and the Irish mare proved she had lost nose of her great speed while on the shelf, for she upset all the calculations of her stable by giving David Ann a stone and a neck beating, which did not appear at all palatable to the majority of Cliff's followers. The plating at Reading, good as it was, did little towards filling our note- book, having excited but a passing interest; and the principal handicap was only remarkable for the true running of Change and Blackdown, the former's 111b pull in the weights placing him where he was entitled to be, after the performance with Jack o' Hearts at Wolverhampton. Many thought Gibraltar might have won but for his bolting, especially after he won on the second day, overlooking the fact that he was meeting Kingswood on 101b better terms than he did Change, and that he was on a course nearer his " cut." The two year old races brought out the best class animals, Crisis winning the Reading Stakes easily enough on the first day, but having no chance on the second with Eastminster and Garotter, the latter being bowled over by the Lewes victor, who certainly had no business before Crisis, through the run- ning of the latter and Olivia with Faith at Abingdon and Hungerford, which would give Mr Merry's filly the best of East- minster, seeing he only beat Olivia a head at Lewes. However, the defeat of Garotter proves Eastminster a thorough good horse, and his performances all through the season have betrayed a gradual improvement, The only other item we need touch upon is the Nursery Plate, for which there were some smart things in the field besides the winner, but more than one was evidently performing for another day, and the contest was left entirely to the two favourites, Attraction being quite incapable of giving the 71b required to Verbena. The York August meeting will absorb all attention next week, for it is " big with the fate'' ot more than one St Leger and Derby fa- vourite, the programme containing as many as eleven two year old and eight three year old events; and the three days' racing will be about the best ever witnessed on theKnavesmire, for what with the two feur year old spins, six handicaps, and the same number of weight for age ( principally selling) races, thirty- three contests will have to be got through. It will thus be quite a mercy if some of the items result in a walk over, as they threaten to do, from ten to twelve races per diem in the height of summer being rather too much of a good thing even for the most indefatigable of turfites. The principal events have already closed, only eight still remaining open ; and the first of the five- and- twenty we have to discuss is the Yorkshire Oaks, a mile and a quarter race for three year old fillies, the best of the numerous lot engaged com- prising Sauterelle ( allowed 71b), Marigold ( 31b extra), Bonny Bell ( allowed 71b), Airedale, Lady Augusta ( 41b extra), Queen Bertha ( 71b extra), and Miss Armstrong. Marigold ought to beat Queen Bertha at the difference of weight, seeing there was only a head between them in the Oaks, and the shorter distance will suit Lord Westmoreland's filly; still, the ease with which Lady Augusta beat Fantail for the Coronation at Ascot will warrant our overlooking the Oaks running altogether, and giving her the pre- ference here over everything, even when conceding 111b to Bonny Bell. The Seventh North of England Biennial has a great many three year olds engaged who promise to get the two miles, the list including Early Purl, Old Orange Girl, Trojanus ( allowed 51b), Trumps, Marigold, Avenger ( 31b extra), Onesander ( 31b ex- tra), Le Marechal, Scamander, Fontenoy, Fanfaron, The Ranger ( 31b extra), Blondin, National Guard, Newmarket, aad King of Utopia. Lord Stamford will probably allow Onesander to repre- sent him, as he is entitled to every respect from the style he beat Queen Bertha at Ascot; and were he and Scamander to oppose the Ranger there is every chance of the St Leger favourite getting beaten, for the course is in every way suited to Scamander, who was so close up with both the Ranger and Onesander in the Derby that his 31b pull in the weights may make him beat the pair. Still, his not accepting for the Ebor Handicap raises a doubt in our minds whether he will see York ; and we must stand on Lord Stamford and Onesander. The Old Three Year Old Produce Stakes will probably be walked over for by Miss Armstrong, and the Bramham Park Stakes by Borealis ; and the two four year old races look equally good things, Harlequin being in the Burgundy Stakes, and Citadel in the 100 Sovs Sweepstakes. The Convivial Stakes is the chief of the first day's two year old races, and perhaps of the whole eleven to be found in the pro- gramme, having the extraordinary number of ninety- one sub- scribers. Of these we have seen Lady Hylda ( 71b extra), Inver- ness ( 21b extra), Durham ( 4lb extra), Coast Guard ( 21b extra), Ostentation ( 21b extra), Practitioner ( 71b extra), King George ( 51b extra), Clairvoyante ( 21b extra), and Paris ( 41b extra) per- form well; and over the five furlongs T. Y. C., it will be worth something to know what Paris can do with Durham, as the latter is a stout, good horse, although we must stand upon Paris, after the Clown's Brighton and Lewes doings, against all the public performances. Still, even supposing Blair Athol does not show, it is on the cards for one of the dark lot to beat Paris, and J. Scott will have to be taken care of. as it is quite time he brought out one of his youngsters after the noise made about Hollyfox, Ba- ragah, & c. The pair engaged in the Black Duck Stakes being dark, as are also the trio in the Juvenile Stakes, the probable destination of the two prizes is reduced to mere guess work at present. The Chesterfield Handicap is a mile race, suitable to Ace of Clubs, Bertha, Gemma, and Doncaster, who have nothing to complain of in their imposts ; and the two remaining events in Tuesday's list are not yet completed. On Wednesday there is an important two year old event to be decided in the Eighth Biennial, which has62 subscribers, Crytheia Scottish Chief ( 3lb extra), Linda ( allowed 31b), Prince Arthur, Rigolboche, and Procella, with two or three in J. Scott's team, having everything to recommend them. If Linda is among the starters she will be entitled to some credit for running second to Paris at Goodwood; and should the latter run in the first three for the Convivial there will be a chance of the filly beating all the above. Prince Arthur, failing her, being entitled to some little confidence, as he can race, and meets Scottish Chief with 31b the best of the weights. For the Prince of Wales Stakes King George and Crisis are penalised 5lb each, and Garotter 71b, and Battaglia, Nemo, Goldy- loeks, and Greenland comprising the best of the other public horses, the prize should be credited to one of the fresh comers, of which the colt by Brother to Bird on the Wing out of Physalis, who threw Aldcroft at the Newmarket First Spring Meeting, has a great reputation. The Filly Sapling Stakes, with Linda, Battaglia, Clairvoyante, and Inverness engaged, is subject to previous running, or to the arrangements that have yet to be come to by those gentlemen having two year olds engaged more than once to- day, it being probable that Linda will prefer this to the Biennial, as it is a richer stake, and an apparently easier task. The Rawcliffe Stakes, wherein Lord Stamford has three en- gaged, is in a similar predicament to the last- named event, al- though it is doubtful whether the paltry sum to be won will tempt anything good enough to beat his lordship's representative. The Glasgow Stakes has but three subscribers, and of these Wild Thyme and Castle Espie have been disgracefully beaten, while Mahometan has never yet ventured in public. The Ebor St Leger is at the mercy of The Banger, and if Mr Savile stood upon Prince Le Boo instead there would not be much danger of defeat in the probable absence of Lord Glasgow's Physalis dam colt. The Hopeful Stakes is another three year old race for Wednes- day, but may result in a walk over for Newmarket. The Great Ebor Handicap has what is termed a bad acceptance, only twenty having stood out of the sixty- one handicapped, but this must be attributed to the forfeits not being declared until within a few days of the race, as owners are better able to arrive at a conclusion whether they will run or not than if they had to decide a month beforehand, and the majority of the lot now engaged may face the starter, the twenty horses representing sixteen different stables, Lord Glasgow, Mr Saxon, Fobert's, and Boyce's stables only having more than one each to depend upon. There are two six year olds, three fives, seven fours, and eight three year olds in the list, the two old horses, Makeshift ( 7st) and The Monk ( 6st 131b) being turned loose, as is also one of the four year olds, Merry Maid ( 5st 101b), who is in receipt of 361b from Zetland, the heaviest weighted of his year. There is 201b between the five year olds, Caller Ou ( 9st lib), Bellman ( 7st 101b), and Oldminster ( 8st 91b), but only 91b between the three year olds, Fantail heading them at 6st 21b, with the Wasp gelding at the tail, and as all of them have the best of the weights, more or " less, with the most tempting of the five year olds ( Bellman), there may be something in the field to beat the latter, seeing he was behind Tippler with some 81b the best of the weights in the Chesterfield Cup at Goodwood, which is a safer line to follow in regard to his capabilities than the race with Caller Ou at Lewes, although his condition at the latter meeting had greatly improved. Fantail does not seem capable of getting through a two mile race, and the Wasp gelding's Good- wood form was so bad that he cannot be supposed to have a chance; but the remaining juveniles, between whom there is only 41b, comprise a first class lot, Clarior and Golden Pledge having 6st each; Melrose 5st 121b, and Double X, Chaft", and Trust, 5st 101b each. Melrose is the only one of J. Scott's left in, which fact, with the reputation he had in the spring, may cause him to become a favourite; but we would sooner follow the public form displayed by Clarior, Golden Pledge, and Double X, and if the first and last- named are superior at the weights to their stable companions, Makeshift and The Monk, the four year olds must comprise something good for the winner to be among them, although they are all reputed so good at a distance, with the exception of Merry Maid. Between the remaining half- dozen there is 221b, Zetland having 8st 41b, Carisbrook 8st, Mag- num Bonum 7st. 131b, Brighton and Captain Crow 7st 4lb each, and Piccador 6st 101b. The latter has only made one essay in public this season, when he was second to Ace of Clubs at Good- wood, for which there is every excuse, as the latter is evidently a much better horse than he had been previously given credit for, and after the cut- throat pace Piccador went for the first three miles, a good horse was bound to beat him, without detracting from his merits. Leaving this running, then, out of the question, and looking at his last year's form, Lord Zetland's horse is bound to beat all the four year olds, for he ran Haddington to a head, giving him lib, at Richmond— at which meeting Haddington beat Captain Crow easily— was close up with Polynesia, Town Coun- cillor, and Buckenham for the Di> ncaster Stakes, and ran pretty forward with Zetland at York and Stockton. This was all gsod enough to make him a dangerous opponent of the Bellman, when he has 91b the best of the weights with the Irishman; and, no matter whether Makeshift or Clarior represent Lord Glasgow, or The Monk or Double X Mr Saxon, he must be very near winning. Clarior had greatly improved in appearance when he figured at Goodwood, and he is sure to prove himself a good horse some day, being of a slightly superior stamp to Golden Pledge, in our opinion : and as the market shows him to be the superior « f Makeshift, he may, with Piccador, Golden Pledge, Bellman, and Mr Saxon's best, be taken against the field, the winner being bound to spring from the lot on paper, our greatest confidence being in Piccador and Clarior. On Thursday we have the Gimcrack Stakes, in which the two year olds have to travel a mile, a distance that will not suit Scottish Chief, with his 71b extra, or Garotter, and previous running must decide what is best to stand upon. The Colt Sapling and Aske Produce Stakes, wherein J. Osborne has Prince Arthur and Lord Adolphus, are also best let alone until Tuesday and Wednesday have been got over. For the Great Yorkshire stakes, a mile and three- quarter con- test for three year olds, there is a falling off in the number of subscribers, and in the probable absence of Lord Clifden it will not afford the usual St Leger trial, the best of the remainder consisting of Rapid Rhone, Early Purl, Old Orange Girl, Bird- finder, King of Utopia, Blue Mantle, Scamander, and The Ranger, only the three last named being in the great Doncaster struggle. The Biennial on Tuesday will probably herald the favourite, and if the best that race may produce is overthrown it can only be accomplished by the Rapid Rhone. The York Cup, two miles, has seventeen subscribers, and the Marquis, Buckstone, Macaroni, and Tim Whiffler, are all penalised 71b, while Zetland escapes with 21b, and Clarissimus and Carbi- neer have no extras. One of the two last- named should, conse- quently. be heralded the winner. The Knavesmire Stakes will be worth contending for, and Beauvale, Cistercian, and ( Enopides will doubtless join issue, when the judge might have to place them in the order here enumerated. The last item we have to deal with is the Nursery Plate, wherein Procella and Nemo will do their owners good service, unless'they can find better representatives. Ply mouth on Thursday and Friday, and Dover on Thursday are the only other " fixtures" of the week, and they are not of general importance. HORSES STRUCK OUT OF THEIR ENGAGEMENTS.

A civilian was allowed to gallop round with them, but he came to grief the first jump, and nearly carried his leg away against a post.

Stewards: Earl of Stamford and Warrington, Earl of West- moreland, Lord Uxbridge, and the Hon Admiral Rous. Clerk of the Course: Mr J. H. M'George. Secretary: Mr Moseley. Judge: Mr Johnson. Starter: Mr M'George. That those only are helped who help themselves is confirmed in the high position obtained for this meeting by proper manage, ment during the last three years, as well as in the additional patronage already accorded to the next anniversary. The locality may not be congenial to those only at home in unsoiled kids' » on mossy banks or shaded lawns; but, goodness be thanked, there are yet seme left caring that others, less favoured, shall share in the sport they so well love themselves, and who lose sight of per- sonal considerations in assisting by purse and presence a holiday erf the hard working classes, even though it be in the " black coun lry!" Great, therefore, as have been the turning- upon these occasion of the mining and general population, it was never so large as on Tuesday and Wednesday last, and certainly never more enthu" siastio in cheering, whenever opportunity offered, their noble neighbour and generous benefactor, the lord of Enville, who with Lady Stamford and a distinguished party of visitors spend- ing the week at " the Hall," filled each day the elegantly fitted up saloon in the Grand Stand. Nor is the circumstance less de" serving of record that, although these races and " heavy wet," in more senses than one, invariably came together for some time, not so much as a shower has interfered since three years ago the meeting was restored to racing form ; neither, as police re- turns show, have recently occurred anything approaching former infractions of sobriety and order. Amongst other al- terations the bringing forward of the Cleveland Cup and Holyoake Stakes to the first day, and the transfer of the Wol- verhampton Slakes to the second were most important, having for its object a better equalisation of the sport, though disappointing hundreds of non- residents, who in ignorance of the change had their usual " out" on Tuesday, merely " to see the Stakes." Look- ing at certain other places, the smallness of the fields generally was not at all surprising, and yet finer competition, particularly in the second act of the proceedings, could not have been afforded. Of the seven first showing for the Ladies' Purse, the five two year olds were rightly supposed to have no chance with their elder opponents. East Lancashire and Herdsman, for the pair, quickest at starting, were never caught, nor was preference misplaced in selecting the Hednesford colt, who beat the " home" stable very cleverly by a neck. The Cleveland Cup, if not a " walk over" for, was at all events regarded as good as gone with Fairwater, to meet whom True Heart and Teddy were in attendance. The latter, however, being announced a non- runner a quarter of an hour previous to the starting time, the committee, to make a race, liberally granted the hundred added, which the old mare landed in a canter, with 10 to 1 on her. A disputed claim by the owners of Geduld and Acceptance for the services of Sam Adams in the Nursery having been decided by Admiral Rous, the betting on that event opened at 6 to 4 agst Hypatia, though the earnestness of the Geduld party soon made her as good a favourite as Hy- patia, who got off as well as anything, but stuck her toes into the ground directly they were in play, and though subsequently once getting up to the shoulders of Geduld, she died away again within the distance, and was defeated by a length and a half, nothing being near the two. On the strength of his Lewes achievement on Saturday, and the poor field he was meeting to day. Lord of Linne, penalised 71b, was supported freely for the Holyoake Handicap, but soon found a much im- proved animal in Misfortune, who, receiving a stone from Mr Ten Broeck's horse, won with the greatest ease. Though a dozen others were coloured for the Patshull, neither came to oppose Lady Clifden and Livingstone, the former, upon whom 10 to 1 was offered during the morning, landing easily the odds quoted at starting, the dangerous practice of allowing horsemen on the ground having, however, well nigh played havoc with one or both the competitors in the race. The Stewards' Plate seemed a real good thing for Chiquot, though money at 4 to 1 was put on South- port, who never looked or went better, and, moreover, by Reeves's steady riding, had all but upset the odds, when the 371b between them told tales, thus enabling the favourite to get home in the last three strides by a neck. In the Biennial bearing his name, Lord Stamford's calours were also successful on Pro- cella, beating Gordian Knot, Fisherman's Daughter, and four others, thus winding up the afternoon's diversions anything but delightfully for the fielders. However, in the latter respect matters took a turn for the best on Wediiesdaj*, when " pot" after " pot" got " floored" like their namesakes on the house- top in a gale of wind. To begin, the eight runners for the Shakspere Handicap included David Ann and Ophelia, the latter not supported for a penny piece in the Ring, while the stable money being put on the other induced a " go- in" all round, as it were, for David Ann. The chagrin and excitement of her backers may therefore be well conceived when Challoner on Ophelia drew up to the favourite at the Stand, and running the longest, bowled her over by a neck. To this succeeded the Chillington Stakes, in which the 6 to 4 on Persuasion was cleverly defeated by Faith, whose owner, how- ever, only entrusted her for a moderate stake. Acolyte, also a performer in the above, finished a respectable third, considering the at first seriously apprehended mishap that befel him and Arthur Edwards prior to starting. There had, it seems, been a good deal of capering at the post, in the midst of which Acolyte made a rush, and twice striking into Hartleap's heels, came down with her rider, who, fortunately being only a little bruised and shaken, was soon again in the pigskin, and rode with, if anything, more than his wonted pluck and determination. The grand coup of the day, if not indeed of the meeting, came next, in the Three Year Old Biennial, wherein, half way up the distance, it looked any odds on Borealis, but shutting up the instant she was col- lared in the last few strides, the verdict, amid tremendous shout- ing, was snatched by Trumps, sold last week at Brighton for 950gs to the Marquis of Hastings, who was present to witness the triumph of his new purchase. In an equally fine race that fol- lowed, another " warm- un " in East Sheen succumbed by a head to Hesper, and this brought on the carpet the Wolverhampton Stakes, for which nine runners, the same number as last year, were tele- graphed with little delay. Jack o Hearts maintained to the last his premiership in the betting, but like all the " public'' pots for this event in many successive seasons, didnot bringit off, though occupy- ing a forward position throughout the contest, the leading features of which were that Tourist showed the way in to the straight, when he fell back, and the running was taken up by Change to the principal Stand railings, where he was headed and defeated by Oldminster, after a fast run race,| more than one " reminder,'' it is said, being required to keep the latter at his work. Isoline ran a game mare, considering her recent punishing race at Goodwood. Surburban seemed outpaced all the way, while Blithfield, lying second in the concluding three- quarters of a mile, came in last of all. The Wrottesley Selling Stakes, another slashing affair, fell to the lot of Erythia by a head, and being bought in, placed 87 guineas to the fund. In the Enville Welter Cup, Misfortune again proved herself more formidable than most people imagined, having just " done " the highly- fancied Knave of Trumps, who never quite reached her. The Cup is in solid silver, from a design of Messrs Collis, and is in the form of a Grecian rase, its weight being about 200 ounces. At the base a group of richly chased sea lions start from a coral beach, the pedestal being formed of segs. There are two sup- porting handles on either side, and round the border runs a chaplet of flowers, richly gilt The lid is surmounted by a horse and jockey, two model horses starting in relief on each side. The inside is richly gilt, and the cup is in every way creditable to the well- known firm who were chosen from amongst several com- pettiors to produce so fine a work of art. Although the elite of the betting world were in attendance and the ring filled to incon- venience each day, mention was scarcely made of future events, 9 to 2 being the latest offer against Ranger for the Leger, and 11 to 2 was taken about Queen Bertha. In the unfortunate ab- sence through illness of the clerk, his duties were ably discharged by Mr Moseley, the indefatigable secretary, assisted by Mr M'George, jun, who also acted as starter. TUESDAY, AUG 11.— The LADIES'PURSE of - 50 sovs; two year olds 6st 71b, three 7st91b, four and upwards 8st 71b ; mares and geldings allowed 31b; three quarters of a mile.

At the second attempt Herdsman and the favourite got away together in front, the former taking the lead after the first fifty yards, closely waited on by East Lan- cashire, who, when the two year olds were disposed of at the dis- tance, rejoined Lord Wilton's colt on the left, and headed him in a few strides. At the enclosure he was half a length in advance, but a final effort upon the other again brought them nearly even at the Stand, the favourite, however, most patiently ridden, won cleverly by a head. The others beaten off. Helen, who got very badly off, did not pass the chair.

Grimshaw 6 Betting: 2 to 1 each agst Geduld and Hypatia, 4 to 1 agst Fair Sophia, and 10 to 1 agst Acceptance. Several failures were caused by the usual fractiousness of the latter at the post, after which the favourites got away in advance, Geduld, however, making all the running, and winning by a length and a half, twice as far dividing second and third, and a neck the third and fourth. The HOLYOAKE HANDICAP of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 100 added; winners extra; the second saved his stake; one mile and a half; 16 subs. Mr T. Hunt's ch f Misfortune, by Longbow, 4 vrs, 6st 131b T.

They ran together to the Stand, when Misfortune went to the fore, suc- ceeded in the order named by Middlewatch, the favourite, and Jack o' Newbury. Thus they proceeded to the far side, where the grey went up to Misfortune and raced for the lead, which each in turn obtained to the foot of the hill in the bottom, whence Misfortune showed clearly in command, retained it to the end, and won by a length; the favourite ( who, after making an un- availing effort, was stopped at the enclosure) finishing five lengths from the second ; a length between the third and fourth. The PATSHULL STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 100 added, for two year olds and upwards, with selling allowances; if not to be sold 71b extra; three quarters of a mile; 18 subs.

The STEWARDS' PLATE of 40 sovs, added to a Handicap of 5 sovs each, for all ages ; the winner to be sold for 80 sovs ; winners extra; T. Y. C.; 19 subs.

After running in line for a few yards, the lead was taken by Southport, with the favourite and Fair Sophia together at his girths on the whip- hand, High- land Mary level with them on the left. In this way they ran to the distance, where the race became a match with Lord Stam- ford's colt and the top weight, the latter retaining the best of it to the centre of the Stand, where he tired, and the favourite won by a neck; two lengths between the second and third, the others well up. The winner was sold to Mr I'Anson for 92gs. The STAMFORD BIENNIAL STAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 5° added; colts 8st 91b, fillies and geldings 8st 61b, with certain penalties and allowances; the second saved his stake; T. Y.

The favourite, obtaining the best of the start, was never caught, and won by two lengths, the third finishing three lengths from the second, with an advantage of a head over the fourth.

David Ann and Teddy ran in front, followed by Flexmore and Ophelia, who closed with the leaders on entering the straight. Within the distance Flexmore and Teddy died away, leaving Ophelia in attendance upon the fa- vourite, whom she headed half way up and defeated cleverly by a neck; Sorceress, who came with a rattler at the finish, being beaten for second by the same. The Lady Evelyn filly was a middling fourth, True Heart fifth, Curie next. Spicebox was struck out to- day at 1: 20 p. m. The CHILLINGTON STAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added, for two year olds; colts 8st 91b, fillies and geldings 8st 61b certain penalties and allowances ; T. Y. C. ( straight half mile) 27 subs.

The start was delayed through Acolyte twice striking into the heels of Hartleap at the post, which brought the former to grief, Edwards, though hit by the horse's foot, being soon able to remount and join in the raco\ Per- suasion jumped off with the lead, attended by Faith on the left and by Acolyte on the other side to the distance, when the latter was in trouble, aud Faith, challenging the favourite opposite the enclosure, headed her at the Stand and upset the odds by a length ; twice that difference separating second and third; Hart- leiip a bad fourth. The STAMFORD BIENNIAL STAKES of 10 sovs each, h ft, with 50 added, for three year olds; colts 8st 91b, fillies and geldings 8st 61b; certain penalties and allowances; the second saved his stake; one mile and a half; 37 subs.

Edwards 5 Betting : 6 to 4 on Borealis, 5 to 1 agst Trumps, 6 to 1 agst Glad- stone, and 10 to 1 agst Oscar. Gladstone went away with the lead, and at half a mile increased it to half a dozen lengths, fol- lowed by East Lancashire, Trumps, Borealis, and Oscar. In this order they ran down the far side to the T. Y. C. post, where East Lancashire fell back, after which the leader's advantage gradually diminished to the straight, entering which the marquis's colt and Borealis were at his quarters. At the half- distance the favourite got her head In advance, and was apparently winning easily at the enclosure, when Trumps, who just before seemed beaten, came again, challenged the Malton filly at the Btand, and won in the last three strides by a head ; same between the second and third; East Lancashire and Oscar beaten off. The BOROUGH MEMBERS' PLATE of 60 sovs, added to a Handicap of 7 sovs each, 4 ft, for all ages; winners extra; straight half mile; 26 subs, 10 of whom paid forfeit.

Peignoir cut out the work to the dis- tance, where the favourite showed ii: advance, with Lufra laid up to the enclosure, opposite which Hesper, always lying handy, made his rush and won a good race by a neck, the third beaten by the same; Peignoir a bad fourth. The WOLVERHAMPTON HANDICAP of 20 sovs each, h ft, and 5 if declared, with 200 added by the Earl of Stamford and Warring- ton ; winners extra; the second saved his stake; about two miles; 62 subs, 33 of whom declared.

After one failure the lead was taken by the fa- vourite, at whose heels were Change. Joco, and West End for a quarter of a mile, when Tourist, last off, came through his horses and took up the running. He was succeeded by West End, Change, and Oldminster, clear of whom the light weight headed the next lot, consisting of Blithfield, the favourite, and Isoline, the whipper- in, several lengths astern, being Suburban. These were the positions at the Stand in the first round, directly after passing which Blithfield ran into second place, Oldmiwster, at the far side, going on third, Change fourth; West End and Isoline next. Entering the bottom Blithfield and West End were first to give way, the next shooting his bolt when fairly in the straight being Tourist, till then at the head of affairs. Upon his retire- ment, and the compounding of Mr Naylor's filly soon after, Change in advance, Oldminster next the rails, with the favourite on the outside ground, came out and finished the race, a most ex- citing one to the Stand, where Oldminster got his head in front and won by half a length, Jack o' Hearts finishing a length from the second. Isoline was fourth, about two lengths off; Tourist fifth, Joco sixth, West End seventh, Suburban, outpaced from the com- mencement, being next, at a wide interval, Blithfield last. The WEOTTESLEY ( Selling) STAKES of 5 sovs each, with 40 added, for all ages; straight half mile; 8 subs. Lord Uxbridge's b f Erythia, by Hesperus, 3 yrs, 7st 41b ( 30 sovs) T.

The favourite held a slight lead to the Stand, where she was deprived of it by Poetess, but Erythia coming again at the finish, won on the post by a short head. Southport, dropping away in the last twenty yards, finished two lengths from the second, the two others not near. The winner was bought in for 115gs, and Poetess was claimed for Count Batthyany. The ENVILLE WELTER CUP ( Handicap) of 100 sovs, by subscrip- tion of 15 sovs each, 5 ft, with 50 added; winners 71b extra; gentlemen riders; professionals 61b extra; one mile and a half; Mr T.

The grey made play for a mile, when the running was taken up by Misfortune to the straight, after which she was joined by the " favourite, till then lying off two or three lengths in the rear, the result of a long and severe struggle being that Lord Stamford's colt, who never quite got up, was de- feated by a head; the third beaten two lengths. READING RACES. Stewards: The Earl of Coventry and the Earl of Portsmouth. Judge: Mr ClarK. Clerk of the Scales: Mr Manning. Starter: MrT. M'George. Clerk of the Course : Mr T. Marshall. With the vast amount of racing now taking place in all direc- tions, Reading was indeed privileged in avoiding actually clashing with any other meeting north or south. Owing to this fortunate immunity the special and other trains, both from Paddington and Waterloo, conveyed a more than usually large number of visitors, and the Stand Enclosure at an early hour was thronged with backers and Turf " notables,'' the " gentlemen," however, scarcely showing in such force as might have been anticipated. The long continuance of dry weather has, however, been more favourable to the harvest than to racing, the various training grounds having generally become so hard as to compel trainers to throw up all horses that evince any signs of being " dotty," causing the fields for the different events to be smaller than usual, although in one or two instances a large muster made up for other deficiencies. On Thursday the weather was glorious, and in striking contrast to the wretchedness of that of last year, when, it will be recollected, a perfect deluge for a time quite suspended the proceedings. Owing to the death of Mr W. H. Hibburd, the manage- ment of the meeting has been entrusted to Mr T. Marshall, under whose regime many salutary improvements and reforms have been effected. The " local'' police, however, as heretofore, failed in keeping the course as well as could be wished, pro- menaders in many instances being allowed to remain on the running ground after the horses had actually started. Punctual to time, three of the eleven subscribers for the Easthampstead Park Stakes were sent to the post, which Golden Dust, with odds on her, landed cleverly, beating Fontenoy by a neck, the latter appearing to come too late. Nearly all the thirty- two subscribers for the Reading Stakes were coloured on the card, but of this large number but four youngsters were brought out, the winner, Crisis, again being immediately " spotted" in the ring, and odds laid on her. She is a small but smart racing- like filly, with a fair turn of speed. A moiety of the entered sixteen went to the post for the King's Meadow Stakes, for which Margery opened the favourite, but subsequently receding to 5 to 1, the wagering was at one time pretty equal between Topsy, Churchman, and Rubini, the two former dividing the premiership at the close. The race resulted in a fine struggle between Topsy and an outsider, Lufra, the latter being defeated after a clever effort by her rider, John Daley, by a head. The ill fortune experienced by the book- makers still attended them for the Berkshire Stakes, and the i smallness of the field brought out for this, the chief event of the meeting, caused no little disappointment. Owing to the publication of the weights before Goodwood, it was at first looked upon almost as a certainty for Blackdown, but Change's creditable performance at Wolverhampton on the preceding day caused him to be installed favourite when the numbers of the five starters were exhibited, while Blackdown's former admirers " hedged to it" on the horse appearing, as he looked light, dry, and stale, and although " assisted"' by Detective he was easily defeated by the favourite, a remarkably good- looking colt, with substance enough about him to make a splendid hunter. At first all the numbers of the ten coloured on the card were put up for the Ladies' Plate, hut subsequently that of Dawdle was withdrawn, Loates having been unable to reduce himself to the necessary weight. The sale of the winner— sister to Melsonby— entered to be sold for £ 50, materially benefited the fund, Mr Rayner pur- chasing her for 280gs. A much larger field than was anti- cipated met to do battle for the Nursery, which, as in almost every instance throughout the day, fell to the selected one, Ver- bena, who cut down the field opposed to her with ease, and won in a common canter. A slight turn of luck, however, in favour of the ring resulted in the Stewards' Plate, the favourite, Ripon, being beaten within the distance, and a comparative outsider, Kingswood, winning cleverly. The day's sport was wound up with the Borough Plate, which produced a large field, and for which Neilgherry was made favourite; but Dawdle proved victorious, defeating the Duke of Cambridge on the post by a head. Owing to the quantity of racing there was but little time for speculation on future events; there was some little wagering, however, on the Ebor Handicap and Leger, the quotations of which will be found below. On Friday the weather was far more enjoyable than that of the day preced- ing, the intense heat being tempered by an agreeable and refresh- ing breeze. The Stand Enclosure was again well filled, but there was, as usual, a perceptible falling off in the " carriagecompany.'' An excellent day's sport wound up the meeting, the racing, al- though uneventful, being of average interest. The first event on the card— the Forbury Stakes— was carried off easily by Nereus, who defeated the favourite, Dominie Sampson, with ease. A considerable field came out for the Caversham Stakes, for which the betting was spirited. The winner turned up in an outsider— Danaus— who at the last msment was backed at an outside price by his noble owner. An unfortunate accident occurred to Flutter, but we are glad to state that Mordan escaped with a shaking. Nine runners were telegraphed for the Thames Handicap, of which Gibraltar and Violet were almost equally in demand in the ring. The former, who again ran " roguish,'' won somewhat cleverly, after a punishing race. Good for Nothing carried off the Selling Stakes, although not fancied by her clever owner, and was transferred to Mr F. Jacobs for 80gs, thus realising 60 to the fund. A fair field showed for the Whitley Stakes, for which Mr Merry's Calliope colt was made a very hot favourite. Topsy, however, up- set the pot, winning very easily. Only five out of the thirty- two subscribers " put in an appearance'' for the Abbey Stakes, which was another turn up for the " layers,'' the selected Garotter never being enabled to live the pace, and succumbing to Eastminster— a good- looking son of Newminster— who won cleverly. A large field, twenty- one, went to the post for the final event of the meet- ing— the Stand Plate. Tarragona wastheonly one backedfor money, and she never caused her backers any uneasiness, as she remained in front throughout, and won easily. At intervals the Ebor Han- dicap and the Leger were speculated upon, the two leading favour- ites for the latter event not appearing so " rosy" as heretofore. Mr T. Marshall merits praise for the able manner in which the business of this somewhat heavy meeting has been carried out. There was a perceptible improvement on Friday in the keeping of the course, the superintendent of the local police having got his " recruits" into better working order THURSDAY, AUG 13.— The EASTHAMPSTEAD PARK STAKES o* 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 30 added by the Marquis of Downshire ; weight for age, with penalties and allowances ; one mile and a half; 11 subs.

Covey 3 Betting : 7 to 4 on Golden Dust, and 5 to 2 agst Fontenoy. The latter made play, with the favourite in close attendance, and Lioness lying off. There was no change in these positions until they reached the distance, when Golden Dust got along side of Fontenoy, and the pair ran home in very close company until within twenty strides of the chair, when Cannon sent the fa- vourite out, and she won cleverly by a neck ; bad third. The READING STAKES of 15 sovs each, 5 ft, with 50 added, for two year olds: colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st5lb; with penalties and allow- ances; half a mile; 32 subs.

Goater 4 Betting: 9 to 4 on Crisis, 5 to 1 agst Lady Williams, and 6 to I agst Bradamante. Crisis rushed to the front immediately the signal was given, the next i « attendance being Bradamante, fol- lowed by Lady Williams. The favourite was never headed, and won very easily by three- quarters of a length ; a head between the second and third ; bad fourth. The KING'S MEADOW STAKES ( Handicap) of 5 sovs each, with 30 added ; winners extra; straight seven furlongs; 16 subs. Mr Reeves's b f Topsy, by Kingston, 3 yrs, 7st .... T. French 1 Mr F.

Rubini, Churchman, Topsy, Lufra. and Tailor showed in front immediately the flag fell, and continued running in the order named for a quarter of a mile, when the two former retired from the front, leaving the three placed in advance. At the distance Topsy was leading, and although Johnny Daley made a desperate effort to get Lufra up, Topsy defeated her by a head, two lengths separating the second and third. The Dictator was fourth, The Reserve and Churchman next, and Tom Say ers last. The BERKSHIEE STAKES ( Handicap) of 20 sovs each, h ft, and 5 only if declared, with 100 added; the second saved his stake; winners extra; about two miles; 35 subs, 17 of whom pay 5 sovs each.

Searle 0 Betting : 6 to 4 agst Change, 7 to 4 agst Blackdown, and 6 to 1 agst the Wasp gelding. Gibraltar made play, followed by De- tective and Blackdown, the Wasp gelding lying last. In this order they ran past the Stand, Gibraltar increasing his lead to the river side, where he ran out, but retained the command, with Blackdown in attendance, Wasp gelding and Change close up. When a mile and a half had been traversed Gibraltar again bolted, and, running against a rail, was pulled up. Blackdown then came on with the lead, Wasp gelding being second, and Change third to the distance, where the latter passed Wasp gelding, and half a distance from home caught Blackdown, and, after a sharp struggle for a few lengths, obtained the advantage, and won cleverly by a neck; very bad third. Detective, who only started to make " running for his stable companion Blackdown, was fourth. The LADIES' PLATE of 25 sovs, added to a Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each; weight forage, with selling weight allowances and pe- nalties; straight five furlongs; 10 subs.

The winner was sold for 280 guineas to Mr C. Rayner. The NURSERY PLATE ( Handicap) of 100 sovs, for two year oldsj* about seven furlongs. Mr Trimmer's Verbena, by De Ruyter. 7st.. — J.

The favourite jumped off with the lead, followed by Attraction, the two at once taking a long lead from the ruck, which was headed by Wheidrake and Sig- nalman, Danaus lying next. Verbena was never headed, and won in a canter by two lengths; bad third. Danaus was fourth, and Langford fifth, the Lady Wild filly and Elise the next two; Anglo 8axon walked in last.

" Remune- rator made the running, followed by Dux, Salisbury, Ripon, Lady Emma, and Baliverne; heading the ruck came Everlasting and Kingswood; there was but little alteration in these positions until within a quarter of a mile from home, when Kingswood began to draw to the front and obtained the lead at the distance, closely pressed by Baliverne and Ripon ; Kingswood, however, continued the lead and won easily at the finish by a head ; bad third.

The accounts, which had been pre- viously audited, sho < ved a fair balance on the right side, and the chairman, in giving the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to Chelmsford Races," said he was glad to know that the late meet- ing had met with the approval not only of racing men, but of the public generally. There was no doubt but that Chelmsford Races had seen many ups and downs, but the late meeting was the best, he believed, ever held on Galleywood Common. Mrs Hony wood, the chairman added, had continued the subscription given by her late husband, and this had increased the funds considerably. A spring meeting is to be held in March, 1864. A SPORTING LIBEL- A jury was empanneled at the Town Hall, Croydon, on Wed" nesday, Aug 12, before Mr C. Abbott, the Under Sheriff of Surrey, for the purpose of assessing the damages in an action for libel in which Mr S. Jacobs, an owner of race horses and a gentleman well- known on the Turf, was the plaintiff, and Robert I'Anson, the trainer, of Mickleham, was the defendant, the latter having suf- fered judgment to go by default. Mr Joyce, the barrister, appeared for the plaintiff and Mr Robinson for the defendant. The counsel for the plaintiff addressed the jury, and said that the plaintiff had been for a goed many years connected with racing matters, and the defendant was well known as a trainer of race horses, and brother to a more celebrated man residing in the north of England. In the beginning of the year the defendant had the care of two race horses belonging to the plaintiff", called Passion and the Duchess of Kent, but in February the latter sold them to a gentleman named Simons, but they still remained at the defendant's stables. After they had been there some time, Mr Simons was desirous to remove them, and on the 10th of June he went down to Mickleham for the purpose of doing so. The defendant was not at home, and his wife objected to the horses being taken away, and he was therefore obliged to return without them. On the following day he received the letter that was the subject of the action. The learned counsel read the letter, which contained the following passages:—" I am not surprised that you should have come down to Mickleham to remove the horses at a time when you knew I was away. ... I wonder you can allow yourself to play into the hands of that thief Jacobs and do his dirty work for him." This was the portion that was the sub- ject of the libel, but the letter went on to charge Jacobs with having attempted to bribe the boys about the stable, and stated that the horses should not be removed until the defendant was paid what Jacobs owed him, adding that he did not care so much for himself as for the poor people about Mickleham, to whom the plaintiff owed money. The learned counsel in conclusion said he did not ask for vindictive damages, but the defendant had ad- mitted the libel, and they ought to award such an amount as would clear his character in the eyes of the world, and show that there was no foundation for the serious charge that had been made against him. Mr H. M. Simons was then examined: He said that he was a medical man, practising at Walworth, and he also took an inte- rest in racing matters. He knew the plaintiff as being connected with the Turf, and in the beginning of the year he purchased two horses of him, which were at the time in training with the defendant, Mr I'Anson. At the request of Mr Jacobs he continued to keep the horses at Mickleham after he had purchased them; but about the month of June, for some reasons which it was not necessary for him to mention, he was desirous to remove the horses, and he went down to the de- fendant's stables for that purpose, but he was not at home, and his wife objected to the horses being removed, and he came away without them. He afterwards received the letter that was the subject of the libel, and showed it to the plaintiff. Cross- examined: Witness was a surgeon by profession, but he combined a little racing with it at times. He had only followed racing regularly for a few months, since he had purchased these horses. He had known Jacobs a good many years, but he was not related either to himself or his wife; but he was aware that he knew a good deal about racing matters, and he therefore con- sulted him. The defendant, he believed, had been his trainer for a considerable time. Mr Robinson asked the witness whether he had not heard that at the time these horses were sought to be removed Jacobs owed I'Anson a considerable sum of money ? Mr Joyce objected to the question being put, but the Under- Sheriff ruled that it was admissible. The witness then said he might have heard so, but he knew nothing about it. He was aware that Hampton Races took place on the 10th of June, but he did not go down particularly on that day to fetch the horses because he thought the defendant would be at the races. He had heard that the defendant had sent an apology in writing to the solicitor for the plaintiff, but he never saw it. One of the horses, Passion, was dead, but the de- fendant had given up the other. They had both run since they had been witness's property. Passion ran at Epsom, and The Duchess of Kent at Reigate, and the latter is in the Oaks next year. The horses ran in the name of Madelaine, which was a name suggested by Mr Jacobs on account of it being an uncom- mon one. He acted under the advice of Mr Jacobs on all matters relating to racing. Witness had brought an action against the defendant to recover £ 300, the value of the horses, and for neglect in training them. Upon one occasion witness accepted an engage- ment for a horse called Volunteer, and became responsible for the amount of the stakes, and he did so at the request of Mr Jacobs. Mr Robinson then proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the defendant in mitigation of damages. He said he did not dispute that the defendant had acted improperly in writing such a letter, but immediately afterwards he had made all the reparation in his power, and he submitted that this was all that could be expected, and that the present action ought never to have been brought against him, the only object of which was to gratify a feeling of vindictiveness and saddle him with expenses and law charges. He commented upon the absence of the plaintiff, and said that if he had been called as a witness he should have been enabled to elicitfrom him whether there was any truth in the suggestion, that at the time the attempt was made to remove the horses in question, Jacobs was indebted to the defendant a considerable sum for training and other expenses. He said, however, that as the case stood at present he thought the jury could not entertain any doubt of this fact, and it was clear that the defendant was under the im- pression that the pretended sale of the horses to Simons was merely a juggle to shift the ownership, and enable the latter to obtain possession of the horses, which he considered he was enti- tled to keep until the lien he had upon them was discharged. He went on to contend that it was very natural for the defendant to be under such an impression, and also that he should think that advantage had been taken of knowing that he would be at Hamp- ton Races to go to his stables during his absence, and carry out the project; and that, upon his return home at night, finding this to be the case, and probably a little excited from having been at the races, he wrote the letter in question. He had, however, apologised immediately, and he submitted, in conclusion, that the plaintiff had in reality sustained no damage whatever, and he hoped that the jury would saj' so by their verdict. The jury, after a short deliberation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages— One Farthing. The effect of this verdict will be that each party pays his own costs. FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE.— On Tuesday an inquest was held in St Bartholomew's Hospital on Mrs Mary Stubbings, a widow, who lost her life in the premises belonging to Mr Solomon Levey on Sunday last. Miss Martha Reuben said that early on Sunday morning hearing a noise in the room under that in which she slept she proceeded thither, and found the apartment on fire, and Mrs Reuben, her baby, which was only two days old, and the nurse, in flames. She did not enter the room, as it was full of smoke and flame. She went downstairs, procured some cans of water, which she threw into the room, and she then left the house. Alfred Barton, of Comberley- street, Hackney, said that the deceased was a widow, who was in the habit of going out as a monthly nurse. She was about 64 years of age, and had all her faculties about her. He had seen her in the hospital, but she made no remark as to how the fire occurred. He saw since that the whole of the parties, the mother, nurse, and infant, had been terribly burnt. Police Sergeant James Burrows said that having heard the cry of " Fire !" he went to the spot, when he found Passmore, one of the conductors of the Royal Society, in the house. He had succeeded in getting the fire extinguised, and the constable 254 N, had managed to carry down the mother and her newly- born infant. James Passmore said that he was an escape con- ductor. He was called to the fire on the morning in question. He found that a policeman had got out Mrs Reuben and her infant. When he went upstairs he found the nurse on fire, and he wrapped a blanket round her and carried her down. He did not send her down the bagging of the escape, for he knew that if he had done so her entrails would have been forced out, as she was shockingly burnt about the abdomen. The doctor upon his arrival said that she had better be taken to the hospital, which was accordingly done. He heard the deceased on her way to the hospital say that her mistress had put her arm out of bed, and by so doing had set the bed curtains on fire through forcing them against a candle standing on a table at the side of the bed. She said in the presence of Mr Reuben, " Accidents will happen in the best regulated families, and no one was to blame.'' The coroner having summed up, the jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death by burning. At the close of the inquiry the jury expressed an opinion that the conductor of the escape and the police were deserving of great praise for the manner they had behaved on the occasion. BIRTH.— On Wednesday, August 12, at Hyde Park- corner, Mrs Edmund Tattersall, of a son. COURSING. COURSING FIXTURES FOR 1863. SEPTEMBER. PLACE. Monasterevan Club....

We have received a programme of the Metropolitan Clubs Champion Meeting, which will take place in the Home Park, Hampton Court, on the 24th and 25th of November next. It is confidently expected that the applications for nominations will far exceed the number that can be accommodated. The selection of the acting committee, which include Messrs Allison, J. S. Bland, East, Cain, Smith, and Saxton, with Mr J. Bird treasurer, and Mr R. Coombes hon sec, is a sufficient guarantee of every- thing being efficiently conducted. Mr Warwick has been again favoured with their confidence to act as judge on the occasion. In the entries for the Great Western Cup ( Wiltshire Champion Meeting), Mr Wilkins's red or fawn bitch Humguffin is by Crown Lane out of Liz, and not Hungaff, by Crown Heir, as stated in our last. THE CIRENCESTER CLUB MEETING.— The entries for the Derby closed with 33, and the Oaks with 36 subscribers. The meeting will take place Nov 5 and following days.

FATAL FIRE AT CHELSEA.— On Wednesday morning a fire broke out at 4|, Keppel- street, Chelsea, by which a poor man named Brown, 58 years of age, was burnt to death. The flames were confined to the room in which the fire occurred, where all the furniture was destroyed, and it is supposed that Brown must have accidentally upset a candle, and so set fire to the premises, and that he met his death in trying to extinguish the flames. WEST INDIA MAIL.— The Seine arrived at Southampton on Thursday with the West India mail, but brought no news of im- portance from any of the islands. Business was generally dull, and the season was rather unhealthy. There was an earthquake at Trinidad on the 10th alt, but little harm was done. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 16, 1863.

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB REGATTA. This regatta invariably follows that of the Royal Yacht Squad- ron, and generally extends over the second week in August, but according to the programme the public is this year promised a double dose. Last week all the world was at Cowes, and this week it has been attracted to Ryde. On Monday, at noon, the proceedings of the Victoria were opened with the general meeting of the members at the club house, which was well attended, there having been upwards of 70 members present, the Commodore, Charles 8. A. Thellusson, being in the chair, Lord Burghley, the Vice- Commodore, being also present; and everything passed off with unanimity. The programme set forth was as follows:— Tuesday, Aug 11, a prize of £ 50, open to all schooners belonging to the R. V. Y. C., and alike prize of £ 50 open to all cutters belonging to the club, both to be time races, half Ackers's scale. Wednesday, private match day ; also the annual dinner of the members. Thursday, a prize of £ 50, open to all yachts be- longing to any royal yacht club; time race, half Ackers's scale. No restrictions in this race as to ballast, crew, or canvas. Also a further prize of £ 20, open to all yachts from 20 to 40 tons belong- ing to the club. In the evening a display of fireworks. Friday, boat races and other aquatic sports. In the evening the E.

About Wednesday, a prize, value £ 50, will be given by Mr George Hobson, for all yachts belonging to the club above 55 tons, to be sailed from Cherbourg to Eyde, time race, whole Ackers's scale. Also a prize, value £ 50, given by the same mem- ber to all yachts of the club of and below 55 tons, to be sailed from Cherbourg to Eyde, time race, whole Ackers's scale. The entries to close on Saturday night. Monday, two prizes will be given by Mr Thomas Broadwood to all yachts belonging to the Boyal Victoria Yacht Club, to be sailed from Eyde to Plymouth. The first vessel of any rig inside the west end of the breakwater to receive a piece of plate, value £ 60, and the second yacht of any other rig next inside the breakwater to receive a piece of plate, value £ 40. An entrance fee of £ 2 is to be paid at the time of entry for each race, to be returned to all who start. All vessels in the above races to be classed by old measurement. The Emperor Napoleon has given orders that the dockyard at Cherbourg, the shipping, and public departments shall be thrown open to all members of the Eoyal Victoria Yacht Club and their friends during the stay of the club's fleet in the port, and that officers shall be appointed to attend them over the several esta- blishments. The Mayor of Cherbourg and the civic dignitaries, with the military and naval officers of the port and fleet, have given an invitation to all members of the club to a ball, to be given in their honour, at the Hotel de Ville, on Tuesday, Aug 18, which has been accepted by the Commodore on the part of the club, and invitations given by the club in return to their enter- tainers to a banquet on the following day. The festivities at Cherbourg concluded, the fleet, under Commodore Thellusson, will return to Eyde on Aug 19 or 20. TUESDAY, AUG 11.— Two matches were set down on the card for this day, one for schooners and the other for cutters. In the match for the former, two vessels only were entered:— YACHT. TONS. OWNER. GALATEA 143 T. Broadwood INTREPID 75 Count F. duMonceau According to the conditions of the race, the latter was to receive half Ackers's scale, viz, 4min 35see. By the appointed time to take stations the Galatea was off the pierhead, but the Intrepid would not show, and the Galatea started on her course alone, and com- pleted the rounds by 6: 6: 30 p. m., and during that interval the public attention was concentrated on the following interesting cutter match :— A PRIZE of £ 50, for cutters belonging to the E. V. Y. C.; time race; half Ackers's scale. The following were the entries: YACHT. TONS. OWNER. SIREN 49 J. Grove, jun. AODAX .... 62 J. fl. Johnson. MARINA ... .65 J. C. Morice. The preliminary warnings by gun and signal having been made, the starting gun was fired at 10: 30, and the whole fleet exhibited great alacrity in hoisting and setting their canvas. The wind was about west by north, a pleasant breeze, with fine weather. The Audax took the lead and hauled in, shaving the edge of the sands, but shortly afterwards the Crusader drew out, and the Syren, whose qualities no one appeared to know anything about, brought up the rear. On passing the Noman buoy, the following will show the time and order in which the same was effected;— CRUSADER .... 11 10 80 CHRISTABEL .. N' 12' 39 STREN 11 13 23 AUDAX 11 12 20 | MARINA 11 13 5 | From hence they flattened in their sheets and hauled up for the Nab Light vessel, off Bembridge, the whole fleet being under a crowd of canvas until opening the Brading water, when their ballooners were taken in, and working jibs hoisted preparatory to rounding the Lightship, and beating back to the westward. The following indicates the time they severally rounded the Nab, but, as the weather was so hazy, it was with difficulty that their flags could be distinguished with certainty. We have, therefore, merely noted that the first vessel rounded at 11: 51: 40, and the last at 11: 56: 11, being about five minutes from first to last. They now hauled their wind on the port tack, and passed the Warner as under:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. AUDAX 1 35 32 CHRISTABEL.... 1 45 37 STREN 1 50 12 MARINA 1 43 38 | CRUSADER 148 19) In working up to the Noman the Audax obtained the lead, and was followed in the order we have named. They now continued their reach, and fetched into Stokes Bay. When off the pier the Audax tacked towards the Island, followed by the others accord- ing to their position. The Marina, which was second, stood well over to mid- channel, and certainly improved her position, whilst the others appeared to make but short boards. It was now a long leg and a short with most of them, and nothing particular oc- curred until they reached the west buoy of the middle, which was rounded as follows:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. | H. M. S. AUDAX 2 26 45 STREN 2 35 30 CRUSADER .. not timed MARINA 2 27 35 | CHRISTABEL.... 2 40 35 [ As soon as each rounded the buoy they kept away, and, with flowing sheets and balloon sails, they bowled along to complete the first round of the course, which was as follows on passing Eyde Pier:— YACHT, TONS. OWNER. CHRISTABEL .. 48.... H. H. Kennard. CRUSADER ... .30 Lieut J. Sladen. H. M. S. H. M. S. H. M. S. AUDAX 2 50 17 SYREN 2 59 9 CHHISTABEL .... 3 0 20 MARINA 2 52 5 | And they now proceeded on the second round of the course, which was pursued under much the same circumstances, and with similar wind and weather as to call for no further observation beyond noting the time on passing the respective marks of the course, the Audax retaining the lead throughout. The Nab was rounded the second time as under:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M, 8. AUDAX .3 34 53 SYREN 3 45 54 CRUSADER 3 50 30 MARINA 3 38 52 | CHRISTABEL,. . .3 47 0 | On the return the yachts kept the sands aboard, and some pretty manoeuvring ensued, the Marina holding well on with the Audax. On nearing the western limit of the course the wind appeared to freshen as they opened the west channel, and several of them ap- peared to heel over to the " fresher,'' but as the yachts were ac- companied throughout the match by an almost countless fleet, there was considerable difficulty in making them out. As near as possible they were made out on rounding the middle buoy as follows:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. AUDAX 5 27 35 CHRISTABEL..., 5 47 45 STREN 5 48 32 MARINA 5 34 34 | I From hence they had a splendid run to the goal, which was reached as under: H. M. s. I H. M. s. 1 H. M. S. A'JDAX 5 55 44 CHRISTABEL.... 6 12 5 SYREN 6 16 o MARINA 6 1 57 | | As the Audax passed Eyde Pier, the Crusader was thinking about rounding the middle buoy. The Audax became the winner over and above the time she had to allow her competitors. WEDNESDAY.— During the forenoon, the whole of the red squadron, which had anchored off the pier, got under weigh, and shortly after one p. m. they were formed in two divisions, and stood away ^ towards the East Channel; after a few evolutions they returned to their respective moorings, passing off the pier head in procession. There were present fifteen schooners, six yawls, and seventeen cutters. About this time the Alarm, be- longing to Mr J. Weld, arrived from the westward, whereupon the American yacht Gipsy, which had the previous day brought up in the roads, got under weigh, and under snug canvas, stood out to sea with her foresail to windward. On nearing the Alarm, the Gipsy soon filled, and appeared as if passing the Alarm to wind- ward, but the latter came out under her lea and fairly passed her to windward. Up to this time the Alarm had all canvas set— viz., mainsail, foresail, forestaysail, jib and maingaff topsail. The Gipsy had her lower canvas set, and two gaff- topsails. Her head yards having been sent down on her arrival at Cowes. There was a light breeze from the southward and eastward, veering occasionally to the southward, just sufficient to keep the sails full. The two yachts hauled close to the wind on passing the Noman buoy, which was at lh 50min. The Alarm now kept away, and hauled down her jib for a minute or two, having apparently carried away some of her head gear. During this interval, the Gipsy seemed to gain upon her powerful adversary. The Alarm's jib was again set, and she crossed the Gipsy's bows and resumed the lead; the latter kept away. . At 2: 20 the Gipsy went about, and stood in for the island shore, and at 2: 30 the Alarm went about, and shortly afterwards set her fore gaff- topsail, and appeared to us to have a good lead. At 2: 43 the Gipsy was shut in by the point off Nettlestone. At 3 p. m. the Gipsy again hove in sight, standing for the Nab, which she weathered at 3: 7: 30, and bore away in pursuit of her antagonist. At 3: 21 the Alarm opened out clear of the point, and three minutes afterwards the Gipsy did the same. From hence they ran for the Noman buoy, which was passed as follows :— H. M. s. I H. M. s. ALARM 4 10 40 | GIPST 4 14 55 From hence they brought up with them a fine breeze from about S. S. E., and proceeded to their anchorage off the pier. H. M. s. I H. M. s. ALARM 4 39 40 | GIPSY 4 46 57 The Gipsy has been altered for the voyage across the Atlantic, by reducisg her racisg spars eight feet and canvas, and has now about three feet six inches to four feet bulwarks added all round her, which gives her a somewhat unsightly appearance. THURSDAY, AUG 13.— The card of the day announced two matches:— First. A prize of £ 50, open to all yachts of any royal yacht club, to start at 10: 30 a. m.: time race, half Ackers's scale; no restrictions in this race as to ballast, crew, or canvas. Second. A prize of £ i0, open to all yachts from 20 to 40 tons belonging to the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, time race, whole Ackers's scale. For the first race there were the following entries:— STATION, TACHT. RIG. TONS. OWNER. 1. MEDEA schooner.. 70 W. T. Ridout 2. MARINA cutter .... 65 J. C. Morice 3. AUDAX cutter 62 J. H. . Johnson 4. FLYING CLOUD schooner.. 75 Count Batthyany 5. VINDEX cutter .... 45 A. Duncan The second match presented the following entries:— STATION. YACHT. RIG. TONS. OWNER. 1. OSPREY yawl 85 Lord B u rghley, Vice- Corn. 2. MOONBEAM cutter .... 25 P. Roberts 3. CRUSADER cutter .... 30 J. Sladen 4. EMMET cutter .... 32 W. VV. F. Hay The weather was very unfavourable for racing, in fact a perfect calm prevailed at ten a. m., when the starting gun was fired for the second match, the small cutters; as also at 10: 30, when the same notice was given for the mixed match of schooners and cutters. The course was the same in both matches, viz, from Ryde Pier round the Nab, thence returning to round the West Buoy of the middle and back, twice round ; to start to the east- ward or westward, at the option of the sailing committee. In both these matches the course was first to the eastward. The yachts drifted from their stations to the westward, it being a dead calm, until they severally reached eff Osborne, when there sprang up a light breeze from the westward, at times scarcely above a cat's paw, which rendered the races anything but interesting. * It was not until 12: 30 that they made their appearance across Stokes Bay, after having rounded the Middle Buoy, and it was nearly a couple of hours before any of them reaohed the Nomaq. The Flying Cloud was then leading, followed by the Moonbeam, Vindex, Audax, and the remainder of the yachtfs in both matches sharing the " doldrums." The Vindex completed the first round of the course at 4: 46: 45 and the Flying Cloud at 4: 51: 0; then came the Audax, and at 5: 10: 0 the Crusader; the next vessel to be dis- cerned was the Emmet; then came the Osprey off the " Scare- crow" of the Sturbridge, and the Medea abreast of her to leeward of the shoal. There was very little probability of the match being terminated until long after dark. Yachts at and about the station: Julia, G. Fielder; Zillah, J. Leach; Chimera, E. 8. Bowlby; Fox, H.

FALMOUTH, AUG 13.— His Eoyal Highness the Prince of Wales, Duke of Cornwall, & c, & c, has been graciously pleased to give the committee of the Eoyal Cornwall Regatta the sum of 25 guineas, to be applied as they may think fit, in aid of their regatta. The committee have, therefore, decided to expend it in the purchase of a cup, to be called the Prince of Wales Cup, to be sailed for by yachts not exceeding 25 tons, o. m., on Monday, Aug 24; time race. BIDEFORD ROWING REGATTA. Bideford is said to have but one holiday in the year, and that is its " regatta day,'' which affords matter for conversation to all classes of its inhabitants from the time one event is concluded to the anticipation of the coming one. The holiday this year came off on Wednesday, Aug 12, and was a greater success than any of its predecessors. The gentlemen who took upon themselves the management of the affair, deserve much credit for their exertions in getting it off. In this respect the hon sec ( Mr G. Oatway) is entitled to especial commendation, as are the acting committee ( Messrs G. C. Saunders and Christopher Hopson). The band of North Devon Mounted Eifles were stationed on a platform erected on the quay, and discoursed sweet music during the day. The attendance was larger than in any previous year. The sports, which commenced at half- past three, were started by a race for A SILVER CUP, by pair- oared gigs. For this there were two entries— Eothsay ( Cardiff): J. Mitchell, 8. Hill, Thomas ( cox). Thetis ( Bideford) : E. Wedlock, W. Shute, Chanter ( cox). The Bideford crew were " seared" at the sight of the Cardiff boat, and did not come to the starting point, consequently the Cardiff men rowed over the course. The LADIES'CUP, for four- oared gigs; heats. Two boats were entered for this race. Novice ( Barnstaple): J. D. Thorne, W. Bigsley, J. Westacott, H. Goman, Ching ( cox). Maid of the Mist ( Bideford): J. Lethbridge, E. Prior, G. Pollard, E. T. Hookway, Chanter ( cox). Only one heat of this race was rowed, owing to a misunderstanding on the part of the crews of the two boats as to the conditions of the race, they refusing to go more than once round the course. The heat was a very good one; Maid of the Mist got a slight lead at the start, which she maintained until rounding the mark- boat, which was moored about a mile and a half up the river. She was never caught despite some good spurts on the part of the Novice, and won by about five lengths. EACE FOB SIX- OABED GIGS ; first prize £ 5, second £ 2, third, £ 1. Four entries. Echo ( Barnstaple): Ellis, Mortimer, Nott, Pugsley, Eouteliffe, Goman, Snook ( cox). Duverney ( Bideford): Lennard, Gribble, Lake, Taylor, Harris, Metherell, Lake ( cox). Satanella ( Bideford): Jewell, Paddon, Waters, Champion, Cann, Jewell Ching ( cox). Jehu ( Bideford) : Bowen, Hoyle, Folland, Cawser, Wedlock, Shute, Chanter ( cox). Only three of these boats came to the match, Echo not putting in an appearance. The first was a fine heat, the boats getting well away together, Jehu having a trifle the best of the start, Satanella being in the second place just after starting, Duverney dropping astern a little. This order was maintained until rounding the mark boat, and in the race home Jehu slightly increased her lead of Satanella, winning a fine heat by about three lengths; Duverney ten lengths be- hind Satanella. In the second heat, just after starting, the second man in the Jehu broke his oar, which destroyed all their chance of winning the heat, which was won by Satanella by several lengths. The third heat, therefore, lay between Jehu and Sata- nella, and caused much excitement, each crew having their ad- mirers. At the start Jehu got a strong lead, the coxswain of the Satanella losing his yoke line, and before he could recover it the boat had gone some way out of her course, and lost several lengths. Her crew, however, put the steam on, but it was of no use, and Jehu won a well- earned race by several lengths. SCULLERS' EACE :— First prize £ 3, second £ 110s. There were three entries for the race: Mist ( Cardiff), J. Hemmings ; Little Well ( Appledore), G. E. Parkin; Queen ( Appledore), E. Parkin. This was a row over for Hemmings ( who hails fromEichmond, al- though he is at present sojourning in Taffy land), the Appledore boats not caring to face the " fresh water" man, who therefore had a quiet time of it, rowing over the course. ALL COMERS' EACE for Four- oared Gigs:— First prize £ 10, second £ 5. Little Annie ( Cardiff) : J. Hemmings, T. Powell, J. Mitchell, S. Hill, Thomas ( cox). Novice ( Barnstaple): E. Waters, G. Paddon, W. Champion, James Jewell, Ching ( cox). Maid of the Mist ( Bideford) : A. Cawsey, G. Folland, E. Wedlock, W. 8hute, Chanter ( cox). This was looked forward to as the race of the day. Annie got the best of the start, closely followed by Maid of the Mist, but the Cardiff boat had a comparatively easy task in keeping the first place. The race was between Novice and Maid of the Mist. It was a tight © ne, they rounding their re- spective mark boats at the same time; a good row home was the result, and the race was won by the Annie by several lengths, only half a length separating Maid of the Mist and Novice, whose crew made a desperate effort to reverse the result. This concluded the sports afloat, which were followed by a va- riety of rural sports on shore. LONDON ROWING CLUB. SHEARMAN PAIRS.— The annual pair- oared race for silver cups presented by Mr Shearman, of the L. B. C., took place on Saturday, evening the 8th of August, and created a great amount of in- interest. The course was from Putney to Hammersmith, and the Childe Harold accompanied the race. Mr Shearman was umpire, and Mr Ireland started the race, which was confined to members of London Bowing Club, and the following were the results :— FIRST HEAT. Messrs C. Schlotel and J. C. T. May ( Middlesex station) .... 1 Messrs F. Hale and J. Moxon ( Surrey station) 0 Messrs F. Fenner and C. Hewitt had also been entered for this heat, but owing to the illness of the former were withdrawn. The tide had been very badly chosen, flood scarcely having begun to make at half- past six, when the first heat was started. Messrs Hale and Moxon came away with the lead, but were collared off the Star and Garter, Schlotel and May drawing themselves clear a little above the Duke's Head. The steerage in Messrs Hale and Moxon's boat was wild, and the boat itself unsteady, owing to the stroke not clearing his water in the return of the oar, or they might have held their opponents much longer. As it was they rowed up to them and overlapped at the Point, and so continued to near the Crab Tree, where, although Hale and Moxon were then rowing well and steadily, the winners shot away and won by four lengths. SECOND HEAT. Messrs W. H. Lowe and J. Rickabv ( Surrey station) 1 Messrs T. Radmall and J. Catty ( Middlesex station) 0 Messrs T. W. Williams and T. W. Thompson ( centre station) 0 _ Lowe and Eickaby came away with a slight lead, and were in- creasing it fast, when they went on the south side of a barge which lay in their course, opposite the Star, and this brought the other two pairs, of whom Williams and Thompson were leading, and who were on the north side, close up to the first pair, who imme- diately afterwards again went ahead. Off the London Eowing Club boat- house Eadmall and Catty, two very young men, who had the worst of the tide, began to draw away from Williams and Thompson, but kept too much towards the Middlesex shore. At the Paint they, however, came out more into the tideway, and shot in front of the third pair. Lowe and Eickaby at this time were a couple of lengths ahead, but tliey were too much over to the southward, and Eadmall and Catty keeping a better course, began to diminish the distance between them, and a very spirited race was continued between the first and second pairs all the way home, and the race was only won by a length and a half. FINAL HEAT. Messrs C. Schlotel and J. C. F. May 1 Messrs W. H. Lowe and J. Rickaby 0 Messrs Lowe and Eickaby had the Middlesex station, with a mush improved tide. Schlotel and May came away with a rapid lead, but by indifferent steerage went to the southward instead of the northward of a barge, and although they rowed very strongly did not pull well together, and at first kept an in- different course. At the upper part of the cricket field there was a clear length between them, the second pair steering wildly, and Schlotel and his partner at the Crab Tree having a couple of lengths lead, which they improved to four, but towards the con- clusion of the race an event occurred which, had it transpired but a couple of minutes earlier, might have made a great alteration in the state of things. Schlotel and May were about a dozen yards below Hammersmith Bridge, when a sculler in a heavy boat rowed right across, and fouled them. Lowe and Rickaby seeing the mishap laid down to their work with great power at the prospect of rushing in first, but had scarcely arrived at the same place, when they were similarly fouled by a second boat, while Schlotel and May drove through the centre arch of the bridge. The prices were afterwards presented at the London rooms by Mr Shearman. CORSAIR AND EXCELSIOR ROWING CLUBS. The first contest between the above clubs came off on Satur- day, Aug S. The weather was very fine, and the Citizen H ac- companied the race with a very large party of ladies and gentle- men on board. Mr F. W. Bryant, of the West London Eowing Club, was umpire, and the following were the crews :— MR CORKRAN'S. G. Poignand W. S. Hodgson A. Jackson S. Corkran F. Walton ( cox) CORSAIR CREW. st lb 1. J. Ellinger 10 3 2. H. Castell 9 6 3. J. Letehton 10 11 4. J. C. Kearns 9 0 W. G. Smith ( cox).... 7 9 EXCELSIOR CREW. st lb 1. O. Britten 10 6 2. H. Anderson 11 9 3. A. Herron 12 0 4. J. E. Brain 10 4 T. Charles ( cox) 8 13 The Corsair won che toss, and took the Middlesex shore, and the crews were greeted with loud cheers on their arrival at the Aqueduct, the course being thence to Chiswick. Upon the word to go being given the Corsairs got away with a lead of half a length, and rowing very strongly had cleared themselves at Sim- mons's Boat- yard. The Excelsiors here came up a little, but be- fore Finch's was reached the Corsairs led by a clear length, which they had increased to two at the Point, where they took their opponents' water, the Excelsiors not sitting their boat properly. At the Soap Works the Excelsiors put on a fine spurt and came within a length, but the Corsairs pulled up again, and passed under Hammersmith Bridge leading by a length. Time, lOmin 40sec. At the Doves the Excelsiors spurted up again, but were put out by a boat in their course, and catching two crabs. The Corsairs again went away, and won by a little over a length. Time, lomin 5sec, on a fine tide. The steerage in both boats was bad. The rival crews dined together in the evening at^ Kelly's, the Bells, Putney, where the return match, which comes off on the 22d, at Greenwich, and for which the Excelsiors are the favourites, was the principal topic of conversation. KINGSTON ROWING CLUB. FOUR- OARED EACES.— On Friday, Aug 7, the members of this club rowed a four- oared race for five handsome clocks, most libe- rally presented by Messrs C. Corkran, Hoare, Garrard, Watkins, J. Bell, and W. H. Walton, the course being from the top of the Waterworks to the Chapel. Four boats had entered, but through the unavoidable absence of a member of Mr T. Bell's crew the latter were, to the regret of all, unable to put in an appearance. The races were as closely contested as all the previous " clock fours'' have been, the winning crew in each heat rowing a stern chase for two- thirds of the course, and the boata in each event overlapping at the finish. FISST HEAT. Mr Vesev's crew ( Middlesex station) 1 Mr Corkran's crew ( Surrey) o MR VESEi" S. I M. Coleman O. W. Fuller C. J. Weale A. C. Vesey C. H. Walton ( cox) | Mr Corkran dashed off with the lead at a great pace, being clear of his opponents at the end of two hundred yards; now, however, for some time the boats maintained their relative positions, till, on reaching the end of the Waterworks, Mr Vesey was perceptibly, though slowly, regaining lost ground. A most exciting lace en- sued, until, assisted by the bend in the river, he had collared the others opposite the club boathouse. The boats now continued level for tiie length of the island, at the lower end of which the long, steady stroke of Mr Vesey began to tell, and he gradually took the lead, and won by three- quarters of a length. Mr Corkran rowed a most plucky race, being from recent illness hardly up to the mark in point of condition. SECOND HEAT. This shouldhave been betweenMrBell'sand MrGibbons's crews, but Mr Bell's crew not being able to row, Mr Vesey's crew at once rowed the deciding heat against Mr Gibbons's, certainly under considerable disadvantage, owing to the severity of their previous race. The deciding struggle proved as severe as the first, Mr Gib- bons, with the best station, getting off at a terrific pace, and soon obtaining a lead of at least a length and a quarter ; nevertheless, Mr Vesey laid down quietly and steadily to his work, showing no symptoms of " terror" at the state of affairs. He soon began to gain ground slowly, and in spite of the turn of the river being in favour of his opponents he had collared them at the lower end of the island. Here the pace and the want of practice told their tale on Mr Gibbons's crew, and Mr Vesey gradually passed him and won, the bow of the losing boat being about level with the coxswain of the other at the winning post. The winners owe their success mainly to their steady practice, and the judgment with which Mr Vesey rowed both races, not overpacing his rather juvenile crew at the beginning. The clocks were afterwards pre- sented by Mr Corkran on behalf of the donors, who. it is hoped, were gratified with the good sport exhibited. Mr Gibbons's crew was manned as under:— A. Doering j W. Gibbons L. Corkran F. Walton ( cox) A. Mowbray BENEFIT TO R. A. W. GREEN, THE AUSTRALIAN SCULLER. This benefit takes place on Tuesday evening, Aug 18, at the Eoyal 8urrev Theatre, and we have reason to believe that the Australian will receive that support he deservedly merits. Mr W. H. Stephens, late of the Princess's, has kindly volunteered to play Eobin in the " Jolly Young Waterman," in which pieoe many of our first- class scullers will also appear on the stage with their coats and badges. Unsworth, the celebrated stump orator, will deliver a speech between the pieces, and the band ot the Foresters will perform " Bold Eobin Hood,'' & c. TOWER OF LONDON AND CITY EEGATTA.— The forty- fifth annual Tower Eegatta took place on Thursday, Aug 13, and was for the twenty- third time managed exceedingly well by Eobert Ellam. who for 21 years in the old days of City barges, was waterman to the Lord Mayor. The regatta was attended by a large number of spectators, and the racing was very good right through, as the annexed account will show. The race was in old- fashioned scullers boats among six watermen of the Tower, and the prizes were a new boat, sculls, & e, value £ 24, to the first man, the others receiving good compensation in money; the distance was between St Katharine's Dock Buoy and the Eel Chain, Bil- lingsgate, twice round, finishing at the Tower Stairs. First heat: J. Wallineer 1, H. Goddard 2, E. H. Patten, sen 3. This was a good race for a time between Goddard and Wallineer, but the latter ultimately won easily. Patten, who was many years older than any of the rest, rowed very pluckily.— Second heat: W. Ed- wardesl, Jas. Osman 2, Jos. Goddard 3. They all remained level for 300 yards, when Edwardes drew in front, Goddard next. In this manner they kept till rounding the Eel Chain, where they were all hampered by the craft in their course, and the manager started them afresh, Goddard, how- ever, refused to start, and the heat was therefore confined to Osman and Edwardes, the latter winning easily.— Third heat: H. Goddard 1, Osman ( fourth prize) 2, J. Goddard ( fifth prize) 3, Patten ( sixth prize) 4. There was an excellent race with the brothers and Osman half way, and then tbe latter obtained the lead, which he held to St Katharine's. Here H. Goddard collared him, and there was an excellent race between them all the way home. Meanwhile, following at a respectful distance, came J. Goddard and Patten, who had a] race all to themselves, the old man nearly succeeding in beating his younger opponent.— Final heat: Edwardes 1, Wallineer 2, H. Goddard 3. The manager had some difficulty in getting the three winners of heats off', but when he did they started evenly. Wallineer soon afterwards took the lead, Goddard next, and so they continued to St Katharine's, all being very close. Wallineer was round first, Edwardes next, and these two had a hard race up against tide, each trying his utmost to win. So they continued to the lower buoy, where Edwardes fairly rowed his opponent down, and continuing his lead, won by three lengths. Goddard was left a long way behind. The winner was one of the unsuccessful candidates for Doggett's Coat and Badge on Aug 1, and rowed much better now than then. His victory seemed to give general satisfaction, as he is a likely young fellow, and being without any friends, the fact of his winning a good boat is an excellent start in life for him. YACHTING IN FRANCE.— On Thursday, July 30, the steam yacht built at Eouen for the Empress was launched. This elegant craft is 60 feet in length, and is built entirely of steel plates, ( she is intended to ply between Paris and St Cloud, more particularly during periods of low water, and will only draw about 2ft 4in, The yacht, which has attained a speed of nine knots, is fitted up with an elegance and good taste corresponding to the purposes for which it was built. A letter from Bpezzia announces that the yacht Amelia, the return of which to Cannes was expected early in August, will prolong its voyage for another month. After putting in for some days at Spezzia, the Amelia will leave for Leghorn, and will then visit the island of Elba and Sardinia. Dieppe Eegatta attracted on Sunday, August 2, a considerable at- tendance of amateurs from Paris, Eouen, and Havre, and several foreign yachts brought visitors from beyond the Channel. In the rowing matches the Eva, E. Bain of London, took the first prize, given by the town, and the prize offered by the Chamber of Com- merce, with £ 12 added by the Havre Eegatta Society. In the first sailing match between small yachts not exceeding 24 feet in length, the first prize,| given by the town, went to the L< § man, of Eouen, M Bon; and the second, given by the society, to the Juba, of Eouen, M Plaquevent. In the second match, between pleasure yachts and boats specially devoted to pilotage purposes, the de- partmental gold medal and a work of art given by the town were won by the Ariel, Mr John Arthur of Paris ( the Ariel also ob- tained the prize of honour given by the Emperor); the second prize, a bronze medal given by the society, being won by the Tentamarre, of Argenteuil, M Jugelet. The Concorde, of Dieppe, M Lefebvre, obtained a special prize of £ 4 given by the Dieppe Cricket Club to the Dieppe boat arriving first in a general sailing match. Several other matches of local interest followed, a silver medal given by the Ministry of Marine, and £ 4 presented by the town for fishing boats, being won bv the Les Unis, of Dieppe, M Lelong. YACHT CRUISES, & C.— It is understood that the cutter Aquilla, 44 tons, which belonged to Sir M. E. Stewart, M. P. for Eenfrew- shire, has been sold ; the Aquilla is one of the fleet of the Eoyal Northern. The screw steam yacht Albion, formerly owned by Mr D. M'lvor of Liverpool, but now the property of Lord Otho Fitzgerald, has sailed from Loch Btrangford for Loch- fine ; the Albion is a fine vessel of 155 tons burthen. The Hilda cutter, 25 tons, Mr P. Bourne of the Royal Northern and Eoyal Mersey, has been dismasted off the Mull of Galloway, and has had to put in to Garlieston for repairs; it was blowing hard and there was a heavy sea on when the stock gave way. The Wayward cutter, Mr Sheriff Tennent, has sailed from the Clyde on a cruise to the West Hebrides. The Aurora schooner, Mr P. Miller of the Eoyal Mersey, has also sailed from the Clyde to the north. The Anita schooner, 47 tons, Mr J. Ballantine of the Eoyal Northern, has arrived in Campbelltown Loch after a cruise to the west coast of Scotland and also to Ireland. The Forest Fly cutter, 40 tons, Mr H. M. Patten of the Eoyal Mersey and Eoyal Northern, has arrived in the Clyde from a cruise to the West Highlands. The Deerhound, screw steam yacht, 190 tons, Mr J. Lancaster of the Eoyal Mersey and Eoyal Western ( Ireland), and the St Ursula schooner, 196 tons, Mr H. Tennant of the Eoyal Northern, have sailed for Norway; they were last heard of at Lerwick, Shetland, on the 23d ult. NEW LIFEBOAT FOR HASTINGS.— On Wednesday a harbour trial was made at Limehouse with a new lifeboat belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution. She is 36 feet long and 8 feet wide, and rows 12 oars, double banked. The lifeboat was sent by the institution to Hastings on the following day, to replace a smaller one, which was deemed less suitable for the locality. The boat satisfactorily underwent the usual tests of stability and self- righting, and speedily self ejected the water shipped in the latter process. A free conveyance was, as usual, kindly given to the old and new lifeboats, and their transporting carriages, by the Low- don, Brighton, and South Coast Eailway Company, over their line. The Hastings lifeboat was instrumental last May in rescuing the crew of four men of a fishing smack, which was totally- wrecked on the rocks off Hastings, in a heavy gale of wind. The National Lifeboat Institution has now 125 lifeboats in connection with it. Of these 14 are stationed on the coasts of Sussex, Kent, and the Isle of Wight, namely, at Eye, Winchelsea, Hastings, Eastbourne, Newhaven, Brighton, Selsey, Margate, Kingsgate, Walmer, Dover, Dungeness, Brightstone Grange, and Brooke. Each lifeboat station requires on an average from £ 40 to £ 50 a year to keep it in a state of efficiency, so that the society requires a large permanent annual income to enable it to keep up its large life- saving fleet. THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE ORWELL.— Another match for the Championship of the Orwell took place on Saturday evening, Aug 8. The course was from the Cliff Bight round the Black Ooze and back, and the Alma steamer followed the boats with a large number of passengers, who took a lively interest in the match. The competitors were the Cygnet, Ipswich Working Men's College Eowing Club ( pink and white); the Nautilus, Petrel Eowing Club ( light blue); the Curlew, Orwell Works Eowing Club ( blue and white); and the Sylph, Orwell Eowing Club ( red and white). The Nautilus Club did not compete, seve- ral of their most effective members being absent from Ipswich ; they lent their boat, however, to the Petrel Club. Mr G. Farrow- acted as starter, and the contest, which was sustained in a very spirited manner, resulted as follows:— Curlew, first; Nautilus, second; Sylph, third; and Cygnet, fourth. The Curlew, there- fore, retains the championship, which she won in May. The Nautilus was, however, only a length astern, and the other two boats were also well up. The distance, three ar. d a half miles, was rowed in 24min 30sec. The crew of the Sylph were unable to go over the course twice previous to the race, the bow ( Mr Bruce) having hurt his back. DEAL, WALMER, AND KINGSDOWN EEGATTA.— This regatta will come off on Aug 18, providing the weather is favourable. The programme contains eight races, and the prizes vary from £ 12 to £ 21 each. The committee have decided that all boats must be entered at the Mariners' Reading Eoom, Esplanade, on or before twelve o'clock on Saturday, Aug 15, and that boats and crews from other ports, entered for the regatta, will be conveyed free by the South Eastern Eailway to Deal, and that the prizes will be paid on the day after the regatta. HASTINGS EEGATTA.— This regatta is fixed for Monday, Augl7, when prizes will be given for sailing yawls and luggers, for ama- teur four- oared galleys, pairs, and sculls, besides money for simi- lar races among professionals. Boats and crews will be conveyed free on the South Eastern and Brighton and South Coast Rail- ways. Mr Develin is secretary, 4, St Andrew's- terrace, Hastings. TEWKESBURY EEGATTA.— Mr Editor : I beg to call your at- tention to an error that appeared in your report of Tewkesbury Eegatta, wherein you state that the Warwick Boat Club was beaten by four lengths in the contest for the Ladies' Plate. Such was not the case. That club, after winning the Challenge Plate, were debarred from taking any part in the Ladies' Plate, accord- ing to the rules of the regatta.— Yours, & c, W. L. DEVEY.— Warwick, Aug 10. WENTZELL'S ANNUAL EEGATTA.— A meeting will take place Monday evening, Aug 17, at the Ship, Fore- street, Lambeth, for the purpose of receiving entries, and, if sufficient, to draw for partners for the pair- oared prizes annually given by Mr Went- zell, of the above house. THAMES EOWING CLUB.— The entries for the pair- oared outrig- ged gig race, fixed for Aug 22, closed on Saturday, Aug 15, when the following crews were drawn:— Messrs A. T. Tubbs, C. W. Talbot, H. M. Hall ( cox) ; Messrs Perren, Scovell, G. A. Cooke ( cox); Messrs Skelton, H. Gore, W. 8. Talbot ( cox). MAY AND STRATFORD.— For this race we have received the whole of the money. £ 25 a side. It is to take place from Putney to Barnes Eailway Bridge, on Tuesday, Aug 18, starting at half- past four o'clock. NORFOLK AND SUFFOLK YACHT CLUB.— Mr Editor: In your report of the Oulton regatta on the 6th inst you made an error which I now correct. YOB. stated that the Blanche passed the Vampire in the last round of the second match, whereas I believe the Vampire was further ahead of the Blanche at the finish than at any other time during the race.— Yours, & c, W. S. Everitt. North Grove. Aug 10, 1863. J. Banks, not being satisfied with his defeat by T. Wallis, at the late Bermondsey Eegatta, is anxious to row Wallis from Putney to Mortlake, for £ 10 a side, in old- fashioned boats, and will be at the 8tave Porters, Mill- street, Dockhead, Bermondsey, on Tues- day evening, Aug 18, prepared to nuke the match. G. Francis of Maidenhead will row Shaw orHaynes of Marlow a fair sculling race on the Henley course, for frem £ 10 to £ 25 a side. A match can be made on Tuesday evening, Aug 18, at Mr Dawson's, White Hart Inn, Maidenhead. G. Martin of Bermondsey will row G. Weeber of Wapping, for £ 10 a side, from Putney to Mortlake, or from Blackwall to Wapping Old Stairs, in o'ldfashioned boats. An answer, through Bell's Life, will be attended to. NORTH LONDON EOWING CLUB.— We are requested by the secretary of this club to insert a notice to the effect that the Senior Scullers Eace, fixed for Aug 15, is postponed until the 29th, in consequence of Kew Eegatta taking place on the 15th. In one of our recent aquatic notices we inadvertently stated that the boat in which Mr Michell was so successful as a sculler was built by King of Oxford. We should have stated that Hall of Oxford was the builder of the craft in question. ARIEL EOWING CLUB.— The four- oared race of this club, an- nounced for Saturday, Aug 15, has been unavoidably postponed, owing to insufficiency of entries. OXFORD CITY EEGATTA.— This event will take place on the Isis on Tuesday, Aug 18, when, from the large number of entries, a first- rate day's sport may be anticipated.

SWIMMING. BRIGHTON SWIMMING MATCHES. The fourth annual series of aquatic sports of the Brighton Swimming Club came off on Monday afternoon, at the Bathing Station, between the entrances of the Chain Pier. The course and various distances were marked with buoys, and several boats, including that of the Eoyal Humane Society, were stationed off the shore in the event of accident. The sea ran rather briskly, and at 200 yards from the shore there was a very heavy swell, which sorely tried some of the competitors in the long matches. The following are the results FIRST MATCH.— For youths under 14 years of age; distance 75 yards. Prizes : First a gold pencil case ; second a silver ditto ; third ditto. Lawrence 1, Eolfe 2, Morley 3. Nine started, and that, too, beautifully- well together. A prettier race could not well be desired, for the boys kept all of a heap, within the cover of the immaculate sporting blanket, and the three " placed" came in almost neck and neck. SECOND MATCH.— For youths 15 years of age and under; 1C0 yards. Prizes: First a gold pencil case ; second a silver ditto * third a tortoiseshell and gold scarf ring. Keywood 1, Burnell 2, G. Hindley 3. Ten entered and seven started. Keywood kept the lead throughout, Burnell came in about five yards in hiB rear closely followed by Hindley, who would undoubtedly have fought a harder battle with Keywood had he not been seized with cramp shortly after starting. THIRD MATCH.— For youthsl8 years of age andunder; 200 yards. Prizes: First a gold scarf pin: second a gold pencil case ; third a drinking flask, presented by Mr F. Cavill, King's- road. Hunt 1, Kent 2, Baker 3. Twelve competitors. Another beautiful start. Hunt, who is a powerful swimmer, took the lead, maintained it throughout, and was an easy winner ; bad second, good third. FOURTH MATCH.— Open to all comers, 500 yards. Prizes : First a very handsome drinking horn, presented by Messrs Hurst, cut- lers, of North- street; second a dressing case, presented by Mr H. Mowbray; third, a drinking flask, presented by MrF. Cavill:— C. Homewood 1, Campbell 2, Savage 3. Fifteen entered for this race, which was one of the most exciting ones of the day. Home- wood, the winner, it will be remembered, was one of the two Londoners of that name who successfully competed here a year or two ago; Campbell is the son of the well- known Brighton bathing- machine proprietor; and Savage is the son of the station- master at Three Bridges. The strength of the tide sorely tried some of the competitors, five of whom were picked up exhausted by the Humane Society's boat. Homewood won by about six yards; Campbell and Savage contested closely. FIFTH MATCH.— For second- class swimmers of the B. S. C., 300 yards. Prizes : First a very handsome Malacca walking- stick, mounted in gold; second a very superior meerschaum pipe, mounted in silver; third an electro- plated drinking flask, pre- sented by Mr F. Cavill:— H. T. Smith 1, Churchill 2, Hood 3. Nine started. Good race; won by about five yards. W ithers made the third place, but as he is a first- class swimmer, he was diaqualifled, and Hood took the drinking flask. SIXTH MATCH.— For the Champion Cup of B. 8. C., value 7 guineas; one mile. Open to any inhabitant of Brighton:— Mr Cavill 1, Mr Cummings 2. This of course was the greatest feat of the day. A mile race in such a sea was no mean task, and some of the competitors found it so. Of the five who entered, only four ( Messrs Cavill, Cummings, Lowe, and Ward) started. Mr Cavill took a slight lead, followed by Mr Lowe. These two set off at a rapid pace, but on gaining the second buoy ( 300 yards) Mr Cummings overhauled Mr L, and came close on to Mr Cavill, Mr Ward falling dreadfully in the rear. At 500 yards, seeing there was no chance, he availed himself of the society's boat, and shortly after Mr Lowe followed his example. The race then be- came a match, and it required telescopes and field glasses to ascertain their positions, and this could only be done when they breasted a wave. In going out they had to fight against a flow- ing tide, and before they returned the tide began to ebb, so that their work was doubly laborious. Mr Cavill, however, main- tained his position, and after a struggle of 55 minutes' duration was hailed the champion amidst most vociferous cheering. He headed Mr Cummings by about 60 yards. SEVENTH MATCH.— For members of the B. S. C., round the Chain Pier ( 1,240 y- ards) ; first a very handsome signet ring, value 50s ; second a beautifully- finished meerschaum pipe, mountedin silver; third a handsome walking stick : Hunt 1, C. Smith 2, Wither? 3. Five started. Smith ( a member of a London swimming club) was the favourite on starting, 2 to 1 being laid in his favour. He started off with the side stroke, and took a decisive lead, but was soon overtaken by Hunt, who ultimately beat him by about 80 yards. The others were nowhere. EIGHTH MATCH.— A grand Steeple Chase and Diving Match, open to all comers, 200 yards. Prizes : First, a very superior field glass; second, a gold scarf pin; third, a fine York ham, pre- sented by Mr Stanford, Market- street: Campbell 1, Cavill 2, Lo- raine 3. This caused a great deal of merriment. A pole was fastened between two boats, and the swimmers had to pull them- selves up by their hands and let themselves over it. This was the first hurdle. There were two of these, and two boats under which the competitors had to dive. Campbell took the wrong course in returning, and was disqualified, but Mr Cavill waived his claim in his favour. Minor matches concluded the sports. BECKWITH AND MATHER.— This match, for the Championship Challenge Cup and £ 200, will take place on Monday," Aug 17, from the Doves at Hammersmith to Putney Aqueduct. The match is under the management of the London Swimming Club, and will, no doubt, prove a most interesting contest. CANINE FANCY.

The passage ef arms between these men, so long anticipated in fistic circles, was brought to a conclusion on Tuesday, Aug 11, but not without some trouble at the hands of the " Peace party," who put in an unwelcome appearance on two occasions, when, appa- rently, a round or so might have decided the contest; and although in point of science the display was not up to the mark> especially on the part of Bob Travers, from whom much had on this score been expected, there was enough of slog, ging and game determination on both sides to satisfy the most fastidious. From Dillon no very great amount qft skill was expected, and his friends chiefly pinned their faith on his youth, his supposed fitness— of which more anon— and his staunch gameness; while the backers of Bob put their trust in his excellent tactics at outfighting, coupled with the severity of his hitting. How far the respective friends of the men found the^' r opinions of their proteges carried out in the course of the contest be it ours now to show, and first as to the antecedents of the men. Bob Travers, who has throughout his milling career proved himself one of the best bits of mahogany ever peeled in a ring, was brought out by Ould Nat Langham, and has fully justified the opinion Nat lormed of him. On the 29th of October, in 1855, when 23 years of age, he made his debut for £ 25 a side, against George Baker of Chatham, who,' after two meetings, in each of which George was receiver- general! had to strike his flag. It will thus be seen that he has been be- fore the public nearly eight years. Without attempting to wire- draw our account to a tedious length by circumstantially detail- ing all the incidents in connection with his career, we may say- he has defeated Jesse Hatton, George Crockett, Cleghorn, Mike Madden, Bodger Crutchley, and Bos Tyler ; while he had to suc- cumb to Job Cobley, Patsy Reardon, Bob Brettle, and Jem Mace, the two last named battles being lost through Bob's infringing the 13th rule of the P. R. There is no doubt that he is in a great measure indebted to the style in which he gallantly- struggled against hope in his match with Eeardon for the facility with which he raised the £ 200 for the present match, it being pretty generally admitted that his chances against the resolute Patsy were far more favourable than those of Dillon, who had also been defeated by the same hero. Travers was born in 1832, so that he is 31 years of age, stands 5ft 6in, and to his credit it may be said since he has been con- nected with the Eing he has gained the reputation of being a civil, well conducted man, and one who has always been a great favourite among the Corinthian admirers of the sport. So well has the gallant Bob looked after the main chance that last year he found himself in a position to go into business as a publican, and on Saturday, the 9th November, opened the Sun and Thirteen Cantons, Castle- street, Leicester- square, where he is at present located, and if we may form a judgment from the " great run'' there has been upon the establishment during the past week, he must be doing a first- rate business. For his own sake we hope this may in reality be the case, for Bob throughout his career has done much to merit the support and patronage of the ad- mirers of the Ring. It is a noteworthy fact that no man's advancement among the professionals can be pointed to as having been more rapid or more singularly remarkable than that of Jem Dillon. On the same day that Travers contended with Mace— Tuesday, Feb 21, 1860— Dillon first made his debut in the P. E., and strange to state, like Travers, was brought out under the auspices of Nat Lang- ham. Master Jem made his first appearance in a very unpre- tentious manner, being pitted as a trial against Dooney Harris, for £ 10 a side, and he finally placed his man hors de combat, after a most tremendous contest. Without particularising his battles with Hill of Chelsea and Mike Cocklin, both of whom he de- feated, we come at once to his contest with Patsy Eeardon, for £ 100 a side, the most important. Jem had figured in prior to the present passage of arms. This meeting took place on Tuesday, Dec 9, 1861, the battle, from the commencement to the termina- tion, being distinguished by a gameness and unflinching reso- lution that won for both combatants the admiration of those who had the good fortune to witness the struggle, the chief charac- teristeric of which was right down hard two- handed fighting from first to last. There were in the whole fifty- six rounds fought in 181 minutes, when Dillon had the contest given against him, in consequence of his not coming to time. Although the decision of the referee ( Fred Oliver) gave a good deal of umbrage and dissatisfaction to the backers of Jem, yet there can be no doubt the fiat was a just one. Dillon, who is what is called an Irish Cockney, has not yet attained his twenty- sixth year, so that he had the " pull" of being some five years a younger man than his anta- gonist ; and apart from this had likewise the advantage of not having done anything like the same amount of hard work. The articles for the mated were entered into on Friday, March 13, at our office, the first deposit made being £ 25 a side, so that it will be seen a period of five months has been allowed to intervene since the ratification of articles. It was admitted that both men would require a deal of careful and judicious training to get them in the necessary condition for the contest, and early in the month of June they bade farewell to London and its innumerable allure- ments, and settled down in their respective " quarters " to com- mencejthe disagreeable work of making ready. Travers, from past experience, was known to be an uncommon good one at " collar work ;" but Jem, on the contrary, had gained the unen- viable character of a careless, negligent and unheedful man as to ulterior consequences while training, and, therefore, required the most vigilant and incessant looking after. Bob was placed at Mr Packwood's, at Surbiton, while Dillon was sent further afield, Nat Langham hoping that if he was placed far beyond temptation his repugnance to good wholesome work would be overcome. Bob Fuller, than whom a more cheerful and vigilant trainer does not exist, was sent with Jem as a companion, but we presume that Bob was far too strict in putting the muzzle on to suit such a thirsty soul as Dillon, as they did not get on together, and Bob had to give up his job in disgust, another trainer being substituted, with no better result; and Dillon, on coming to London, although within his weight, a result chiefly attained by bed sweats, instead of being in the splendid condition represented to us last week, was flabby, inuscleless, and pale, and far more resembled those youths of Eng- land who do their training at night in the purlieus of the Hay- market, than a man who for many weeks had been breathing the sweet refreshing air of the Downs of England, and indulging in those healthy exercises which alone give vigour to the frame. For this state of things he was himself alone to blame, and had it not been for an accidental blow received by Bob early in the fight, which alighted below the waist, and injured him inter- nally, the chances are very considerable that he would long have repented his unfortunate propensity and his want of self- control. As it is, we think it very unlikelv his backers would risk so much again for him, and be must think himself doubly fortunate to have pulled off the battle, and to have received such unexampled liberality from those whose speculations he had placed in such jeopardy. We understand it is his intention now to retire from the Eing, and this, we think, is the wisest course he can pursue. He has achieved a proud victory, and it is better to leave off' a good winner than gradually to sink in the scale of excellence, simply from the want of the commonest self- restraint. Great strength, a naturally fine con- stitution, and extraordinary game, are all excellent qualities in a pugilist, but without training, a man possessing them all is, bar- ring accidents, but a child in the hands of a skilled tactician, rightly and fitly brought in opposition to him. Bob was fitter than we ever saw him, and with the exception of the very percep- tible wear and tear visible on his mug, looked quite the Travers of former days. At the weighing, which took place at Jack Patton's in Bedfordbury, however, it turned out that Bob had cut it very fine as to weight, and it was not without a bit of " pinching" at the last that he was able to stand the ordeal. In fact, so near was it when he first scaled, that Dillon and his backers claimed forfeit, and great fears were entertained by Bob's friends that they would have to forfeit, and one or two bets were laid that there would be no fight. The difficulty was got over, however, at last, but it was a pretty good proof that a man who has once entered into busi- ness as a-' bung" cannot expect to reduce himself to the same weight as he was wont to be when simply following his original profession of a boxer. The " tissue" once well laid on cannot be re- duced in a hurry, aad even if it is, we have considerable doubts whether it would not be better to leave it where it is, and if Bob ever fights again, which we doubt, we would advise him not to tie himself down to such a weight as 9st 121b. It is time now, however, to turn our attention to the business we have in hand. Nat Langham and Alec Keene, as the nominal re presentatives of the men, had made such excellent arrangements for conveying the passengers and the men to the scene of action that all were off from London by five o'clock, and the selected spot reached by six. Here no time was lost in pitching a ring, around which was a limited but lather respectable assemblage, not numbering more than 100, including a few of the leading cognoscenti. The attendance, however, was so small that as usual in these days the inner ring tickets failed to realise sufficient to pay the ring keepers, a result at which we shall shortly cease to wonder, if men behave no better than did Mr Bendotf on Tuesday last, when he so misconducted himself that he may think he is fortunate if ever he is intrusted with a whip again. The men were both seconded by well- known first- class professionals, and lost no time in placing themselves in battle array. THE FIGHT. Round 1. The moment the men had taken up their respective positions, the choice for corners having been won by the seconds of Dillon, every one was struck with the paucity of the attendance, partly no doubt attributable to the claim of forfeit made on the part of Jem, owing as it was alleged to Bob being over weight, which led many to go away from the weighing under the full impression there would be no fight. From the appearance of the ground no one for a moment who was unacquainted with the fact would have imagined that the belligerents were about to contend for so heavy a stake, as there was a total absence of any of that excitement usually produced by big matches. When the men were placed at the scratch, Bob looked remarkably well, but, as we be- fore remarked, he most unquestionably begins to show time. Dillon stated he was " all right," but he was far, very far, from being in condition. Both stood well, although there was a great dissimi- larity in attitude, as Jem, who stood more erect than the Darkey, had the mawleys brought a shade higher, and thus became better covered with the guard. Bob unquestionably had the greater freedom in style and position, and from his manner it was appa- rent he, like an old tactician, felt himself thoroughly at home After having put the toe on Oliver's centrebit Bob drew from his man, and in making this break pot near the ropes on his own side of the ring. Dillon, to time this change, made a corresponding variation in position, and the men having steadied themselves, Bob dashed out the left, and hitting over Jem's right guard, administered a fine shot on the right cheek, then drew out and get well from his man. As the Darkey made a fresh disposition and took new ground Jem drew in on him, when the men countered heavily with the left, doing exe- cution on the nob. After they had opened, Dillon got to the ropes on his own side of the ring, Bob following up, and with the left delivering a stinger on the right side of the cranium, causing Jem's nob to wave on one side. The men having taken fresh ground, Bob again weaved himself to distance, then with the left put in a stinger on the chest near the mark, and it was at once apparent Jem did not by any means relish these drops on the victualling department. Again the Darkey put in a stinging left- hander on the nob, and got from his antagonist without a return, at out- fighting having much the advantage, reaching his adversary and sending it home at such long range that Dillon seemed for the moment to be totally incapable of de- livering anything in the shape of a quid pro quo. Again the men shifted position, getting with rapid action in all parts of the ring. At length they paused near the ropes, and countered heavily on the head; again they shifted, and made a stand on new ground, when Travers put in another hot- un on the mark. After getting well together the men exchanged heavily with the left full on the dial. Again having taken a breather they got on the move and resumed the attack, when Bob stabbed his man with a fine long ranged left- hander on the mark. After some more manoeuvring the Black got well in, and after some exchanges, in which Bob got home heavily, he slipped and went down near his own corner. First blood was claimed for Bob in the middle of this bout, and admitted, as the crimson fluid was flowing from Jem's tater trap. 2. There could be no disputing Bob had fought the preceding round on the whole remarkably well, and it is equally certain that he had had all the best of it. After a few flourishes Bob led the left, but did not get there, as Dillon had the right guard well brought up. As Travers drew from his man with the side step Jem followed, and with the left got on the mark, Bob in returning putting in a heavy left- hander on the right side of the nob. As Jem made a slight break to get wide of his antagonist the Darkey, thinking he had his man at an advantage and quite un- covered, stepped in to deliver, but owing to not being well timed hit out of distance. The men sparred and manoeuvred in the centre of the ring, when, in quite his old form, Bob put in the left on the body, and in trying to repeat the dose, was not only wide in delivery, but gave too much freedom to the nob, bending it forward in a most inartistic manner. Once more the men paused, and once more did Bob get home with the left on the body, fol- lowed up with a shot from the right. Without, however, further detailing the movements in this bout, we shall come to the close. The men got near the ropes on Bob's side of the ring, when they exchanged heavily, Travers, from the half- arm with the right, laying on the veneer beautifully, and likewise followed up with the left. Jem was by no means idle, but at close measure fought his adversary right and left, and after, in a spirited rally, getting all over the ring in a real genuine bit of two- handed milling, Bob got from his man and went down on his hands and knees. 3. Both came up simultaneously, and the backers of Bob, owing to the decided lead he had taken, came out in strong force, ana there was now a good deal of eagerness evinced to back him, 2 to 1 being laid. Bob, as his antagonist was first at the scratch, shifted with the side step, and got well to the ropes on his own side of the ring. As the Darkey changed ground, Dillon, with something of that impetuosity of action we have on former occa- sions seen so conspicuously displayed, followed, and with more determination than skill, dashed at his man, and closed. A struggle ensued, when, after each had failed in trying to put in the back heel, they went down, Bob under. 4. Bob on coming up did not appear to have anything more than the most trifling marks on his physiognomy; while, about the mouth, nose, and left side of the cranium Jem began to give decided proof of Bob's power of rubbing in the shellac. Bob, in taking the initiative, dashed out the left, but was totally oi't of distance, and hit extremely round. Having manoeuvred, ill taken a fresh position in the ring, Jem dashed out the left ' d put in a heavy spank on the side of the pepper- castor, and tin as the Black drew out with a side spring, Dillon with a rapid m >- ment followed, and delivered a heavy left- hander at half- meatore on the body, sending in his nob with it in a style that was far from artistic. The men, in making fresh variations, got to the ropes, when, after some clipping exchanges, they closed, and in the fall went down. 5. Jem, acting on the advice of his second, commenced the attack, and lunged out the left, but was not quite there, hitting short, and only from the fore- arm. Bob, as his adversary was getting from him, drew well in to distance, and at close range put in a fine pop with the right, but in trying to make use of the left missed, hitting quite wide of the mark. The men got to the ropes, when Dillon, who had his back to them, thinking he might get wedged in, shifted position, and with the open ground obtained more freedom of action. After more mutual exchanges at the head, the men, with rapid movement, got across the ring to Bob's corner, when the Darkey, after some heavy exchanges, got from his adversary and went down, when Jem, after looking at his man, fell on him. 6. After some pretty flourishes, they exchanged heavily, both doing execution at half measure with the left. After taking new ground they paused, when Dillon, after drawing well in on his man, dashed out the left, and Bob, in shifting, slipped, and went down. Jem's second appealed, but with no effect. 7. This was a fine round, and no mistake. No sooner had the men come together than at it they went, and in some ripping ex- changes, left and right, got on the head and body in a telling and effective style. As the Darkey drew from his adversary, Jem, determined to force the fighting, followed up with much im- petuosity, and in a regular ding- dong manner they fought with beth mawleys to a close, and in the fall both went to grass. 8. Dillon was all eagerness to renew the fun, although he had had by no means the best in the fine double dominoe practice of the preceding bout. Ere Bob could come well to scratch Jem went to him to force the fighting. With the left he put in one © n the top part of the thatch, but he did not seem to have anything like stinging severity in his blows. Jem, with the right, also delivered on the body, tvhen Bob, after getting home heavily with the left in the exchanges, got down in a very suspicious manner. Both Dillon's counsel took up the question with some warmth, but the fiat was fight on. 9. Auothergood round. Travers home a fine left- hander in the middle of the dial, when Jem, having steadied himself from the effects of this heavy spank, went in to his man with fearless de- termination. The men fought left and right to a close, when Bob, not feeling disposed to struggle with his adversary for the fall, got from him and went down. There was another appeal, but not noticed. 10. The men stood in need of a little extra rest, and therefore could not resist the temptation of remaining in their corners to the last, the seconds all the time executing their duties with alacrity, keeping a sharp look out to see one was there as soon as the other. No sooner had the men come together than they went to work, and in the exchanges got well on the know- ledge- box, Bob with the left doing execution on the front of the dial, Jem also putting in with good effect with the same mawley on the pimple while at half range ; as they in these rapid de- liveries closed in, both made use of the right. In this fine can- nonade the men with precipitate action got here and there in alt parts of the ring, until at length they got together in Bob's corner, when the Darkey, after putting" in a left- hander, shifted from his man, who was eager to close, and got down. The referee was again appealed to, and this functionary crossed the ring to give a serious " warning." 11. Immediately the men had advanced from their corners they closed, and, after a little fibbing, struggled for the fall and went down, this bout being of a particularly harmless character. 12. Travers opened the attack with a left- hander on the nob. As Bob was drawing off with the side step to take fresh position Dil- lon followed, and, with more spirit and impetuosity than judg- ment, fought his way in to a close, when, after a little fibbing with both mawleys, the men struggled and went down in the centre of the ring. 13. Bob, at long measure, put in a fine left- hander on the chest, sending, however, the head forward at the moment of delivery in the same inartistic fashion as before. Having drawn well out, the men paused, and, after a brief rest, again went at it. After making fresh disposition and getting well together the men fought rather wildly to a close, and went down in a harmless fall. 14. Dillon led the left, not to distance, when Bob got well in on his man, and with the right delivered a heavy spank on the jaw, when Jem went down, the Darlce. y, who was following his man up, also losing his equilibrium, fell. 15. Jem, as he came from his corner, gave his shoulders the gorilla twist, and seemed to be shaking himself up as though de- termined to do mischief. No sooner had he been met by his op- ponent than at it they went, and in a really spirited manner fought left and right, Bob doing execution with the left on the right cheek and mouth, and with the right on the left side of the nob ; Dillon, with the tools, also getting all over the surface, and then, after receiving a heavy shot from Bob's right as he was re- treating, went down. 16. After a little manoeuvring the men steadied themselves, and having got well to distance exchanged heavily with the left, Bob in this fine counter administering the mixture on the pro- boscis, Jem doing duty on the forehead, but again it became par- ticularly noticeable there was nothing like that stinging power in his hitting he had displayed in previous encounters. As the men made a fresh variation in position they got near the ropes close to the referee, when after some more exchanges Dillon got from his man, and went down. 17. Bob came from the corner with the nob bent forward, as though mentally resolving on some fresh mode of attack, and from the style in which he went rattling at it, there could be no mistaking he had resolved to try conclusions with his man on the rousing system. In a rapid manner they fought here and there in different parts of the ring until they closed. Jem tried in the tussle to get his man's nob in the right arm lasso, but he could not succeed, as the Darkey got from him, and went down. 18. Jem, first at scratch, had not long to wait. After a little weaving the men got well together, when the Darkey admini- stered a dose of ivory polish with the left. As Bob made a change Dillon followed and put in one with the left, hitting dangerously low. The men shifted and took new ground, when Bob tried to land the left, but was not to distance, Jem getting home a fine shot with the left on the jaw. The game- uns, in making their rapid gyrations, got all over the ring, and in the exchanges both did some telling execution, Bob delivering on the breast and snuff repository, Jem laying on the emery with the left with good effect on the front of the dial, and likewise doing excellent ser- vice with the right on the side of the brain- pan. The men paused, and their seconds drew in on them and just took " stock," to see all was right. After a little breathing they again went to work, Dillon in the counter- hitting getting home a clinker on Bob's scent bottle, the Darkey, however, with the same mawley delivering with such terrific force over the right eye that there was on the instant a copious supply of the ruby from an ugly looking cut. The men in a half- rally got across the ring to Dil- lon's corner, when they closed on the ropes, and Jem was down. It is believed that Bob received the injury above alluded to ill this round, but did riot feel its effect until after the renewal of the mill in the second ring. 19. Jem had been decidedly queer when in the corner, and on coming up he did not look as if he had thoroughly brought him- self together. Bob was urged to go in and force the fighting, but he did not display the least desire to do so, but kept sparring and manoeuvring, and made fresh changes in all parts of the ring. At length they got well to graft, and exchanged, getting on the front of the nob with the left, when Travers, in getting from bis man, slipped and went down on one knee. 20. Again Bob delivered a rattling left- hander on tbe old spot on the right daylight, producing a further supply of the crimson, which flowed copiously-. Dillon, after steadying himself from the effects of this nob- sliaker, fought his man left and right, the hit- ting, however, being ail in favour of the Darkey. In the close, the men struggled for the fall; Bob under. 21. Bob was now looked upon as having so decided a lead that his friends considered he had got the trump card in hand, and certainly it looked as though he was for the moment on the high road to victory, for Jem, on coming from the corner, although the first to do so, appeared in an extremely " foggy'' condition. Jem, in leading, hit right over his man's shoulder. Having taken fresh ground they again drew well to distance, and after ex- changing in a spirited manner, Bob delivering on the right cheek, Dillon on the top of the nob, closed, and went down in the centre of the ring. 22. Travers put in a left- hander at long range on the dial, again bending the nob forward in the act of letting it go. In a fine determined rally the men fought left and right to a close, when Jem got from his man, and went down at the ropes. 23. The men had no sooner come together than Bob got home with the left on the nob, and followed up with the right. After some mutual exchanges with both mawleys on the head, they closed and went down. 24. Dillon came up much like himself. Bob administered a telling ruby distiller on the nob from the left, and in a wild manner fought Jem to his corner, when the Darkey, getting his man with the knowledge- box bent down, put on the right arm screw; Dillon, however, extricated himself with great tact and judgment, and went down. 25. Bob on the head with a left- hander, and then in manoeuvring the men got round the ring. Dillon, being determined to force the fighting, rushed at his man, and after wild, harmless hitting they closed and rolled over. 26. The initiative was again taken by Bob, who dashed out the left, but was stopped; Jem this time having the right guard thrown up admirably. The men, after getting all row„' the ring, paused, when Jem's seconds closed in on their m^ and made a slight application of the sponge. Again they got to dis- tance, when the Darkey put in another left- hander on . he vic- tualling department, and again repeated the dose on the vvory case. Once more the men changed position, and again and ./ gain exchanged heavily, until they closed at the ropes, and both went down, Dillon under. 27. Without entering into details of the various movements of the men, we will at once come to the pith of the round. Bob with the left again got home a stinger on the right eye, producing more of the ruby, Jem, in return, putting in a slashing right- hander on the body. After mutually opening after this exchange of civilities, the men stood looking at each other, the Darkey rub- bing his hands. They then got well together at the ropes, when the Black, after getting on his man heavily, got down. 28. There was now the most intense excitement round the ring, and on the men coming from their corners they at once went to work, Bob, in the counter hitting, getting well home with the left on the mazzard. Dillon, by no means to be stalled off, dashed at his man and closed, and after a little fibbing they struggled for the fall, when Bob got from his man and went down. 29. After some lively^ exchanges they made a change in position, and having once more got to distance, made good and efficient use of their mawleys on the front of the dial, when Jem, getting from his man, went down. 30. The men on coming together exchanged some fine left- handed compliments, and then in a manly, resolute manner fought here and there in all parts of the ring. At length they got to the ropes, when Jem, finding he was likely to get jammed up, went down. There was an appeal made to the referee, but it was overruled. 31. Travers home a left- hander on the head, when Jem, who was bleeding freely, drew out, and took fresh position. On again coming together Jem countered with the left, getting well on the dial, and planted the same mawley with stinging force on the mark. After more sparring and manoeuvring they again got well within distance, and in some rattling exchanges made efficient use of both mawleys, getting well home on the nob, left and right. Jem having forced his way to a close, the men struggled and went down. 32. Jem, who had greatly improved, and looked as lively as a 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 16, 1863. kangaroo, dashed out a left- hander at the mark, Bob with the Burgess and Smith. They meet at T. Jones's, Dog and Rabbit, same mawley administering one for the nob. After a momentary Atkinson- street, Liverpool, on Monday night, Aug 17, between pause and taking fresh ground the men got again within range, and fought with both mawleys to a close. In the struggle both got on the ropes, and then, after each in turn having the worst of the position, went down. 33. Bob stopped a vicious left- hander, and the men, after spar- ring and manoeuvring, paused. On again putting themselves in motion they got here and there in all parts of the ring, without doing the least execution. At length they steadied themselves and got well to measure, and after some line telling left- handed counters, closed at the ropes and went down. 34. The tide had now begun to flow a shade in favour of Jem, who was a good deal better than he had been for some time past, while Bob, on the other hand, gave marked manifestations of failing off; still, when the gallant Darkey met his opponent he pulled himself together wonderfully well. Both men in turn were out of distance, and after many exchanges with the left at the head and body they closed, when Dillon, in attempting to throw his man, slipped his arms down, and got hold of him by the right leg most improperly; but the moment he found what he had done he " loosed" his hold at once, a proof to the referee it was an act with no wilful intent. 35. After being twice out of distance, the Black got home the left on his man, and then, in getting out of range, slipped and • went down. There was, as a matter of course, another appeal. 36. The men, after a little sparring, came together, when Bob, after a slight exchange, again got down, and the " talent'' be- came uproarious. 37 and 38. At the commencement of the last- mentioned of these bouts, just as the men had advanced to the scratch and had one pass or so, there was the cry of " Police," and as the constabu- lary were found to be making for the ring side with all possible haste the men had to make themselves scarce, the contest, up to the moment of this unpleasant interruption, having lasted lh 42min 36sec. The referee having made the necessary arrange- ments for the contest to be resumed, all toddled off for the fresh appointment with the utmost alacrity, and during the pro- gress to the ground it became apparent from Jem's conduct, which was somewhat extraordinary, that his seconds had some- how been allowing him to make too free with the brandy bottle. When the ring had been reformed Dillon entered, but Bob was not ia sight, and the referee started to " hunt him uf " and when he was fairly in the ring gave him 12 minutes t< » et ready, making Dillon, who was waiting, keep his corner Bob was in " fig " himself. The seconds went to work with j ' 11, and had their man at the scratch in nine minutes, iere will be no necessity for us to go into a detailed description of the rounds fought in the second ring, as we think, from the minute manner in which we have already described the best and by far the most interesting portion of the battle, it would be en- tirely superfluous. In the very first round in the second ring Bob, when in Dillon's corner, went down in a very suspicious manner, and there was an appeal made, which was overruled. After this, however, Bob, although his left hand, which had gone towards the finish of the fighting in the first ring, became useless, went to his man and forced the fighting. He was repeatedly out of distance, however, and seemed to fight with no manner of judg- ment; while Dillon was also very ecceBtric in his movements, arid often turned away from Bob to reply to some of the spectators, who were chaffing him, thus giving Bob opportunities to ad- minister punishment, of which he appeared unwilling to take advantage. The ring now at one time became in a greatly disordered state, and it was only by the referee going mto the ring and threateningnot only tostop the fight but to award the stakes against those who afterwards offended, that order was restored. Travers, from the spirited manner in which hefought, may- be considered on the whole to have had decidedly the best of the battle in this second ring, but still from the painful condition his mawleys were in, the hitting on his part was at times not any- thing like so heavy as it appeared. There were in the second ring sixteen additional rounds fought in 30 minutes, making in the aggregate 54 rounds in 2h 2min 6sec, when, owing to the police again putting in an appearance, hostilities had to be at once suspended. The backers of Travers, as their man, as it was afterwards ascertained, had been much hurt internally, were now most anxious to make a draw of it, and there was no objection to this being done on the part of one of Dillon's principal backers. Jem himself, however, stated that he wanted to, and would fight it out, as he had nothing much the matter with him; his eyes and hands being good. A deal of confusion ensued among those interested, the referee, whose duties from the commencement were anything but light, having to work like a plantation nigger, and that too in the midst of a Babel- like confusion of tongues. There was, however, only one course for this functionary to pursue, and that was to order the men, there still being plenty of time, to again enter the ring. Travers's seconds candidly stated that their man was too much Injured to renew the contest, and produced a certificate from a local surgeon whom they had called in to attend him, stating that he could not with safety re- enter the ring. This they thought would induce the referee to postpone the fight till a future day; but that functionary very properly decided that this was the best evidence of Bob's defeat. He therefore ordered a third ring to be formed, and Bob Travers not being forthcoming, he awarded the stakes to Dillon, for his prompt and just decision he, of course, came in for the usual amount of abuse, and was accused of partiality, and of having a pecuniary interest in the event— accusations which are now, however, so generally brought that they are passed by uuheeded. Bob being too ill to be moved, remained in the country until Friday, when he returned home; but Dillon and the spectators made the best of their way to town, and on Wednesday morning Dillon and his backers met Alec Keene and the friends of Travers at our office, where the referee was also present, and repeated the decision he had already given that Dillon was the winner. The friends of Travers now alleged that the referee had on the ground pronounced the fight a draw, and that he could not recal a decision once given. To this allegation the referee re- plied that he had done nothing of the kind— that one of Dillon's backers had certainly in his presence shaken hands with Alec Keene, who represented Bob, and agreed to draw, but that when they requested him to decide it was a draw he said [ and very properly.— ED.] he had no power to do so without consulting the men, and that on his asking Dillon whether he wished to draw, the latter had decidedly refused to do so, as he stood £ 65 of his own money, and wished to fight it out, and it was upon this that he had ordered a third ring to be formed. This statement on the part of the referee, of the truth of which we were convinced at the time, has since been confirmed to us by many impartial persons, and, of course, we have awarded the money to Dillon, to whom it will be handed over on Monday night, August 17, at Nat Lang- ham's, Mitre, Upper St Martin's- lane. We have great pleasure in stating that Tom Tyler, who on this occasion voluntarily acted as a ringkeeper, although not a member of the P. B. Association, displayed such alacrity and diligence as to eclipse the regular constables, and that the committee have de- puted us to reinstate him as a member of the association, free of cost, as a reward. The task of bestowing praise upon Tyler is the more grateful to us in that on former occasions we have been called upon to censure him. REMARKS. After the lengthened description we have given of the contest between these men, but few remarks are necessary. One of the most pleasing and gratifying circumstances in connection with the proceedingsisthat, whateverdoubts had been entertained as regards the bona fide character of the match, they are at an end, for there can be no mistaking that the men fought solely on their merits, and that those " knowing ones " who had entertained a conviction to the contrary were for once entirely out in their judgment. Many who witnessed the present passage of arms, and who have seen Bob fight the whole of his previous battles, were of opinisn he evinced on the whole a decided falling off. That Bob did not, on the whole, fight as well as formerly we will readily grant, but in those points of the battle where this was particularly conspi- cuous, the gallant Darkey, from the exertions he was undergoing, was himself much distressed, and was more abroad from momen- tary weakness than any deficiency in skill. As a proof that he was infinitely superior to his opponent as a tactician, what could have been more admirable than the manner in which he fought the first few rounds. The defects in Bob's style are matters we have many times before had to dilate upon, so there is not the least necessity for us in the present instance to recapitulate them: and that more particularly as Iravers, we think, is not likely to again appear within the ropes. The injury he received was done by his opponent hitting low, but Bob's seconds fully acquit Dillon of trying to hurt his man in a mariner opposed to manhood and the P. R. rules, but frankly state they believe it was purely accidental. Bob, although a loser, is still by no means disgraced ; and as it cannot for a mo- ment be denied he did his utmost to bring about a more satisfac- tory result, it is to be hoped he may not be forgotten by his Co- rinthian patrons. Many of them have already paid him for his colours the same as if he had won, and there can be no doubt others will follow this laudable example. On Wednesday there was an absurd rumour in circulation that he was dead, but this report had evidently only been set afloat for the purpose of gulling the public. Dillon may congratulate himself that he has had the good fortune to pull through this match a winner, and at the moment when he is receiving the con- gratulations of friends, we do not wish to say that which may have a tendency in any way to detract from the pleasant confi- dence and happy sunshine of prosperity. His friends, as they are winners, and, more than that, pleased with the success of their man, are ready to extol him in an extraordinary manner, and all faults vanish from their eyes at that one magical word " victory.'' On our part, however, it is necessary to assure him that although he is as game a man as ever entered the ring, he cannot hope to maintain a prosperous career unless he is more mindful of his own interests. Although he did not appear to make much impression on his opponent, there is no doubt Bob was hit very heavily, but his excellent condition prevented the effects of Jem's blows from showing. Of Jem's game there can be no shadow of a doubt, and his wonderful constitution was never more fully proved than by the way in which he struggled against difficulties, considering the state in which he came to the scratch. His backers, fortunately for him, have overlooked his shortcomings in training, and in addition to a present of the whole of the £ 400 for which he. fought, have given him an additional £ 100, so that he has got a fair start, and if he chooses to be steady he has a fine opportunity to do some permanent good for himself. Before concluding these remarks we have to state that a letter has been forwarded to us by an old patron of milling, on the sub- ject of the tumbling down system.

FOLEY AND HAMMER DAVIS.— These Birmingham men met on Monday to fight at catch weight, for £ 10. The Bell, near Walsall, was the appointed place of meeting, where a goodly number were present, but before the men could be got in trim a blue hove in sight, and a move was ordered towards Lichfield, where a ring was pitched, a referee selected, and seventeen rounds were got through, Foley, who is a much slighter built man than Davis, if anything having the fight in his favour. On standing " or the eighteenth round the indefatigable blue again put in appearance, backed by two others, and a hasty move home was de without a chance of bringing the affair off, Davis having a i Irrow escape of being captured.

Kelly last week appointed to meet Brown at our office to make an arrangement for fighting in the London dis- trict, and was true to his appointment, but Brown did not show.

GENTLEMEN OF HAMPSHIRE v GENTLEMEN OF SUSSEX. AUG 10.— This return mateh was commenced on the Antelope Ground, Southampton, on Monday, when Sussex took the innings. Messrs Hale and King went first to the wickets and showed some fine batting, the bowling of Sir Frederick Bathurst and Mr Frere being particularly true. Mr Hale was caught at cover point, and Mr Smith succeeded him. Mr King was easily taken at slip, when 39 had been booked. After dinner Mr Hodson and then Mr Raynes joined Mr Smith, and runs were scored ra- pidly. Mr Hodson was finely caught at mid off with the score at 62, and Mr Raynes at long leg at 90. Mr Leigh came next, and when 117 were scored Mr E. Ede tried the slows at Mr Frere's end, and from the first ball Mr Leigh was stumped, thus making way for Mr Fawcett, whose wicket fell to a fine ball from Sir Frederick. Mr Smith was caught, at cover point, having played well for his 44, and raised the total to 122. Mr Fitzgerald and Mr Horwood made runs fast, and got rid of the slow howler, but Mr Frere being reinstated disposed of the latter in his first over. Eight wickets down for 157, which number was further increased to 175 at the close of the first innings. Hampshire was first re- presented by Mr G. M. Ede and Mr Gamier, Mr Napper and Mr Campion bowling. Twenty- five runs had been made when Mr Fawcett took MrNapper's end, and bowled Mr Gamier the second ball. Mr Stewart followed, and was succeeded by Mr Fredericks, who played a dashing innings. Mr E. L. Ede took his brother place, when 56 were booked. Mr Smith having taken Mr Cam pion's end, then bowled Mr Fredericks. Mr Lucas and Mr Maturin had each made 3 when the stumps were drawn— total 61. On Tuesday these two gentlemen displayed some fine batting; the former made 36, including six threes and two twos; his wicket, the sixth, and Col Bathurst's, the seventh fell for 120; Mr Frere's, the eighth, for 122. Several changes of bowling had taken place, Mr Baynes at Mr Campion's end, and Mr Horwood at Mr Smith's. Mr Fawcett at length bowled Mr Maturin, but not till by excellent play that gentleman had put together 29, amongst which were three threes and two twos. The other bowler then disposed of Mr Reyne, leaving Sir Frederick to bring out his bat with the total at 137. Soon after one o'clock Mr Hale and Mr King again faced the Hampshire bowlers, but not with the success that attended them in the previous innings. The second to depart was Mr King, with the score at 15. Mr Smith and Mr Hodson carried on the war till dinner time, the total beine: then 50. The slows had been tried and failed, and Sir Frederick had for the first time during the match re- signed the ball. Mr Maturin, however, got rid of Mr Hod- son, and very soon after made a splendid catch at mid off, which caused the retirement of Mr Smith with the total at 63— the match at this time looked well for Hampshire— but Mr Raynes and Mr Leigh ran up the score to 94 before they were parted. The former then made way for Mr Fawcett, and the ball was taken by Mr Frere from Mr Ede, and Sir Frederick re- lieved Mr Maturin. These gentlemen caused the score to reach 141, and then Mr Leigh was caught at mid off, having played a fine innings, the score being 57 when he went in. Mr Fawcett was soon after dismissed, and the remaining wicket ® fell as fol- lows:— Mr Fitzgerald's ( the eighth) 164, Mr Horwood's ( the ninth) 166, and the last for 167, leaving Hampshire 205 to go in for. Mr Maturin drove Mr Campion's first ball for three, and Mr Lucas was got rid of, the next. Mr Fawcett having bowled the first over to Mr Lucas, Mr Napper took Mr Fawcett's end, and bowled Mr G. M. Ede. Mr Hodson tried his slows at Mr Cam- pion's end. Mr Maturin having played a fine innings of 32 was run out; third for 52. Mr Frere was well bowled by Mr Fawcett, who had resumed bowling some short time. The light at this time was very bad, and Mr Fawcett also disposed of Mr E. L, Ede before the stumps were drawn for the evening. Colonel Bathurst ( not out) 11. and the total 68. On Wednesday Mr Gar- nier, with the Colonel, only raised the total to 72; with Mr Reyne it was increased to 74. Mr Stewart and Mr Fredericks in turn became Mr Garnier's companion, and all the Sussex bowling was in turn tried to get rid of them. Mr Stewart's was a rapidly- played innings, and he was after all got rid of by Mr Leigh's slows, with the total at 139. Mr Fredericks again played a fine innings, his 21 being made by two threes, five twos, & c. The match closed by Mr Gamier { slaying a ball into his wicket after a masterly innings of 43, Sussex winning by 26. Score: SUSSEX. 1st inn 2d Inn G. W. King, c Frere, b Sir F. Bathurst. 14 b Sir F.

AUGUST 7 AND 8.— I Z. unmasked their batter- ies, and com- menced their annual attack upon the Gunners, who had held their ground against all other comers for four days, having dis- comfited in that eventful period the pride of Kent and the elite of the British army. I Z. began the attack by a cautious and steady advance on the telegraph, with the united forces of Col Marshall and Cadet Grimston. The colonel displayed his old science, which hasjof late been hidden under a helmet, and the young one was as steady under fire as any veteran. Some very brisk firing took place, when the Norman and Celt joined issue; the latter several times experimented with that novel feature of modern warfare, the balloon ; his aeronautic propensities were indulged in with considerable success. The Gunners struggled manfully to restore their position, they twice went in to collar Traill, but he was not to be denied, hammering away till he was admitted ; Capt New- bolt for some time defied all efforts to dislodge him, and General Wolfe, though he fought hard, this time did not die in the arms of victory. The laurels were handed over to I Z., and by them will be long treasured, for dear as is the meed of praise to the heaving bosom of I Z., still dearer is the recollection that to the generous antagonism of the level sward, the Gunners have ever united the cordial sympathy of the festive board. Capt Denne's long- stepping must be mentioned, or perhaps he would be offended— we never saw better. Score : I ZING Alii INCQGNITI v HADLEY. This match was played on July 27 at Hadley, and the In- cogniti, who quite overmatched their opponents both in batting and bowling ( scarcely any runs were made off Mr L. Winslow), won in won innings with 57 runs to spare. One curious point which arose in the course of the game is worth stating in detail. A run was being attempted by Chadband, when the ball was thrown up to the wicket- keeper, the men being half across the ground. The bails were already off, and the wicket- keeper knocked the stumps out of the ground with one hand, having the ball in the other. " How's that ?'' was of course met by a re- sponse of " not out" from the umpire ( Thoms), but as both men calmly remained at the other wicket the wicket- keeper replaced a stump in the ground, and, ball in hand, knocked it out again. On this the umpire gave Chadband out. The moot paint raised by the men of Hadley was whether the umpire's first decision did net make the ball dead," and preclude him from giving a se- cond one. Another question ( not raised at the time) would seem to be whether the wicket- keeper had a right to put the wicket up again, without waiting for the umpire to do so. A settlement of the case by Bell would be satisfactory, as the Q. C.' s are going out of town, and must be X. QC.' d. The Lord Chancellor ideas about cricket law are " fishy,'' and report says that the Jockey Club have given Mr O'M. such a horsey turn that he will only practise in future at the Leaping Bar, so the Incogs can't follow the Jockey Club's example by taking legal advice. [ Umpire's decision was correct.] Score: HADLEY. lst inn 2d inn C. Monro, c F. Wtnslow, b Prest 0 b L. Winslow 0 D. Wren, b L. Winslow 2 c Winter, b L. Winslow.. 2 E. Stephenson, b Winslow i b L.

This match was played in the pretty ground in front of Cum- berland Lodge in Windsor Park, on Friday, July 31, and Satur- day, Aug 1. The Etonians left the " classic shades'' on Friday morning, and reached the ground about one, and a very pleasant match was the result. The Ramblers won by eight wickets, mainly owing to the good bowling of the " Old Stager.'' Floreat Etona. Score: THE BAMBLERS. S. J. Fremantle, not oat 33 J. P. Hadow, run out 1 R. W. W.

FREE FORESTERS v MANCHESTER WESTERN. Rain, runs, and a right royal reception! Such is the invariable programme at the Western Ground, and literally was it fulfilled on the recent visit of the Free Foresters, on Aug 5 and 6. As to the reception, there is never any doubt; either in the commodious pavilion where the prince of hon secretaries good humouredly presides, or in those hospitable houses so freely thrown open to wandering cricketers. For the runs, see the score; and if the Forester bowlers were somewhat unmercifully dealt with by Beckton, Sykes, and Gladstone, Tomkinson and Co showed those gentlemen the same attention when their period of pur- gatory arrived, and were as disrespectful to Mr Rowley. Then came the third R. and settled the question by placing the match in the limbo of unfinished contests, depriving Codrington and half a dozen other merry men of an anticipated innings, and leaving the memory of some fine hitting; a splendid catch by Mr Turner, a high promise of future excellence at the wicket from Mr Smith- Barry, and very steady fielding of Messrs Ent wisle and Bill.

This return match was played at Stamford on Aug 3 and 4. An easy victory for N. N. C. Mr Tomkinson made a splendid innings of 73 ( not out). He went in first, and carried his bat out, without giving a single chance. Mr Gillett's bowling was all " on the spot,'' seven wickets in first innings falling to his share— six bowled, one caught. Messrs Miles and Ffrench played well for their respective scores. On the side of Stamford, Mr Goodrich in the first innings, the only one who made a stand, in the second Messrs Tomblin, Arnold, Argles, and Goodrich, played well, and for a time the hopes of Stamford were raised. But here we must needs record a curious accident that happened to this well known player, Goodrich. He handled the ball!! no, he did not, but a running substitute did for him. How civil some people are! They say, civility costs nothing. Here at all events it cost Mr Goodrich his innings. Score: STAMFORD. lst inn C. Phillips b Giliett 7 c Stewart, b Giliett. H. R.

GRAND LEINSTER MEETING. The first annual meeting of the Grand Leinster Archery Society was held in the LeinsterGardens, at Athy, on Friday and Saturday, Aug 7 and 8. Prizes to the extent of £ 120 were offered, and the meeting took place under the patronage of his Excellency the Earl of Carlisle, the Marquis of Drogheda, the Marquis of Kil- dare the'Earl of Mayo, Lord Earlsfort, the Eon R. H. Hutchinson, Baron de Robeck, Sir A. C. Weldon, Bart, & c. Among them was Mrs Horniblow ( the Championess of England). Before noticing the shooting, we must glance at the leading features of the prize list. First, there was his Excellency the Earl of Carlisle's prize, • which was announced to be either a handsome gold bracelet or pin, to be won by the lady at 60 and 50 yards, or by the gentleman at 80 and 60 yards, having the highest gross score. The result of the competition gave this to Mr Maenamara, who scored 332 against Mrs Hormblow's 234 at their respective two distances. Then there were for ladies, prizes for the first gross score £ 5, for the second ditto £ i 10s, third ditto £ 4 5s, fourth ditto £ 4 ; greatest score at 60 yards £ 3 10s, ditto at 50 yards £ 3 10s ; greatest amount of hits at 60 yards and 50 yards £ 3 each ; most golds at all distances £ 2 10s ; most golds at 60 yards £ 2, ditto at 50 yards £ 2 ; most cen- tral golds of the meeting £ 2. For Gentlemen the prizes were as under-— First grass score £ 5, second ditto £ 4 15s, hird ditto £ i 10s, fourth ditto £ 4 5s, fifth ditto £ 4; greatest scores at 100, 80, and 60 yards £ 3 10s, at each distance; greatest number of hits at those distances, £ 3 at each; most golds at all distances, £ 2 10 ; ditto at 100, 80, and 60 yards, £ 2 each ; and for the most central golds of the meeting, £ 2. The committee re- served to themselves the right of changing the value or number of the prizes, according to the entries; and it became necessary in awarding the prizes to make a large deduction in the sums originally announced, owing ts the entries not being equally as numerous as the prize list was liberal on paper. The shooting took place under the restriction that the winners of the first four merit prizes ( those for actual gross scores) for the last three meetings of the English National, and three first of the Scotch National and two first of the Irish National, should lose their blacks and whites to all other competitors ; and that the winners of the remaining merit prizes at each of the Nationals should lose their whites only. In compliance with these rules, Mrs Horniblow, who in reality made the greatest score of the day among the ladies, had her number reduced from 234 to 173, which placed her third instead of first. Miss Pope Law, although third in score, was debarred, by the operation of the same rule, from taking any other than a minor prize. Miss Bet ham, Mr Betham, Mr Macnamara, and Mr A. Ratcliffe were subject to like deductions from their actual scores. In addition to the above prizes there were the Leinster Challenge Star and Clasp to be accorded to the lady and gentleman for the greatest number of points, viz, two for gross score, two for gross hits, one for best score at 100 yards, one for most hits at 100 yards, one for best score at 80 yards, one for most hits at 80 yards, one for best score at 60 yards, and one for most hits at 60 yards. The star and clasp will be only held by the winner till the next meeting of the society, when an additional clasp will be added • with the winner's name and year. Mr Aldred presented two tows to be awarded to the lady and gentleman having the greatest gross score, not having won a prize, and also prize arrows for local competition only ® n the second day. The shooting on Friday commenced about twelve o'clock, and owing to the blasts of wind that blew right across the targets from the commencement to the termination of the match, the arrows took a very erratic course, and not only was the scoriug below the average, but wholly defi- cient in noteworthy incidents. The shooting of Mrs Horniblow, of course, attracted great attention among the spectators, who had largely increased by the time the ladies commenced at the 60 yards range. The Championess of England, however, did not shoot with her accustomed success, although at the 60 yards she • made 33 hits out of 48 arrows, and scored 151, and at 50 yards 21 out of 24, scoring 83. At the former distance Miss Betham made THE YORKSHIRE HORSE SHOW AT STOCKTON. It is certainly a noticeable fact that the success of the All York- shire show at Stockton last week depended mainly on the entry of horses. Even when so handy to the birth- places of Booth and Bates, the shorthorn ring on Wednesday commanded but a scanty attendance of visitors, and Ocean Queens and Royal Butterflies went in and out again without exciting any very risible interest. On the Thursday, on the contrary, when it was known that the judges of hacks and hunters would be at work, close upon ten thousand people paid at the entrances, while " the Court'' was crowded from its opening to the time when the thorough bred sires were paraded at between five and six in the evening It was here that the whole strength of the section centred for notwithstanding that the cart and coach horses were brought out on the same day, their claims, with the ex. ception of a class of Cleveland mares, were of a very mode- rate order, and the agricultural horses, indeed, few in num- bers and by no means remarkable for individual excellence. Messrs Ellerby of Whitwell, Malton; C. N. Nainby, of Barnoldby, Grimsby; and Jacob Smith, of^ Humburton, jiBoroughbridge, had consequently the eyes of England, or at any rate of Yorkshire, upon them, and very ably and conscientiously aid they discharge their duties. Their different decrees, moreover, were watched with immense attention, as the Stockton show was something of an Appeal over the previous trials of the season. The great win- ners from Worcester, Driffield, Boston, and Redcar were all here, and conveniently enough for such of the spectators as could not afford to give up a day or so a week to these exhibitions, or con- trive to be m two places at once. It is seldom that we have seen so many famous horses together, or that their several merits were better tested or appraised. There was not, to be sure, any jump- ing of bushes or hurdles, nor did the judges carry tapes in their pockets to prove their eye by measuring how much a horse might be round iu his girth, or how long from the tips of his ears to the end of his dock ; but they let him walk and trot, and when they wished had him mounted before them, and sent round at a canter. The whole business, in fact, was well done; and with such strong competition it is seldom that we have seen so little inclination to question the correctness of the awards. If there was a return in which one would not quite agree with the authorities, it was over the class of four year old hunters, and then it was pretty evident that the trio could not quite agree amongst themselves. They were, to begin with, a won- derfully good lot of young horses, and some fourteen or fifteen of them; although these were gradually drafted down to four or five, and then to three. Of these we rather fancy Mr Nainby took to a King Caradoc chesnut, the property of Mr Holmes, of Bever- ley, a wonderfully true- made good- looking nag to stand along- side, and that only failed when he was set a going. In his walk there was not so much to cavil at, if not much to approve; but in his trot he was all out of form, and went so queer and suspicious that he lost friend after friend, the more frequently he went down. Then young Mr Smith was dwelling over a lighter chesnut stand- ing in the name of Mr Clark, of Hook, and indisputably the handsomest horse on the ground; with a beautiful blood- like head and neck, fine shoulders, a good barrel, and capital quarters, he was, unlike the other, only all the better in action, which was really splendid— not your flat- catching " cup and ball" sort of business, but straight, light, and true, and at the same time quite high enough for either use or ornament. However, Mr Ellerby seemed to fancy him a little small below the knee, and in turn went for another chesnut— Mr Hall's The Flyer, by Fugleman out of a coaching mare, a very tine, well- furnished | four year old, with some good old- fashioned stamp about him, but an awkward horse in his movements, though up to more weight than either of the others. Sir George Wombwell had a couple in here— his chesnut ( still) by King Caradoc; and a very neat pattern of middle weight nag was also kept in on the upper side of the ring, with Mr Bruere's Van Galen colt that won at Redcar, and that, with his fine freedom of action and great growth, is pretty certain to train on. Sir George's second horse, a bay with white heels, by Fugle- man, was another very clever one, with more power than his companion: but after a very long and anxious debate the issue went in this wise:— The first prize of £ 20 to Mr Holmes, the second of £ 5 to Mr H. Clark, a high commendation to Mr Hall, and a commendation to Sir George VVombwell for his chesnut— the four chesnuts, in fact, being the four first. " character'' of the men. Another little company of Peter Collin- son, Martin Care, and Will Cbanning, though rather in the shade, will be at once recognised ; while the lad from the Cleveland in his cap, backs Mr. Parrington, who deservedly occupies the centre of the scene, with the cup, goblet, tankard, and ether such honourable distinctions all ready for distribution. One of the servants, however, standing in front of Lord Yarborough's kennel, took to " weaving" just at the very nick of time, and, as a conse- quence, has lost his head; but, on the whole, as embracing so many good portraits of so many good men the photograph is very successful, and will, no doubt, find its way to the snuggery of the houndsman. As we have intimated, the group was arranged in front of the line of kennels, which in turn show the upper rooms of the street beyond. This accessory gives the little picture a very peculiar effect, rather reminding one of the covered rows of Chester, an impression which would have been only the further strengthened by the presence of Sir Watkin. The judges of the day should, in fact, have been also on the flags, and by next year • we must have a companion subject of M. F. H. either in or out of commission. CRICKET.

One of the largest archery meetings which have ever taken place in Ireland came off 011 the Carlisle Grounds, at Bray, on Wednes- day, under the auspices of the Royal Irish Grand National Archery Society, as many as twenty- three out of the twenty- six archery clubs of the country being represented on the occasion. The Lord- Lieutenant ( the Earl of Carlisle) gave his immediate patronage to the meeting. There were twenty targets— ten for the ladies and ten for the gentlemen— and the shooting was ar- ranged to be as follows:— Each day six dozen arrows at 100yards, four dozen at 80, and two dozen at 60 yards, by the gentlemen, and four dozen at 60 and two dozen at 50 yards by the ladies. The weather on Wednesday was unfortunately of an unpropi- tious character. The grounds in the early part of the day pre- sented a scene picturesque and striking. Nearly £ 150, given by the Dublin and Wicklow Railway Company, in prizes, was offered for competition at this great meeting; also medals, bows, bracers, and arrows. Mr Buchanan, Piccadilly, and Mr T. Aldred, of Oxford- street, London, being contributors to the prizes. The archers commenced their six dozen arrows at 100 yards shortly before twelve o'clock, at which time the weather had brightened up. With such distinguished competitors in the field, better scoring might have been anticipated. more especially as there was no wi Rd to in terfere with the shooters prej udicially. There were some good shots notwithstanding. At this distance the best scores were Mr Atkinson 158, 38 hits ( 5 gelds, 7 reds, 4 blues, 11 blacks, and 11 whites) ; Mr Coulson 119, 33 hits ( 6 reds, 5 blues, 15 blacks, and 7 whites); Mr Walters 116, 30 hits ( 1 gold, 5 reds, 7 blues, 10 blacks, and 7 whites) ; Mr Keatinge 98, 18 hits ( 3 golds, 4 reds, 7 blues, 2 blacks, and 2 whites); Mr Betham 94, with 24 hits ( 2 golds, 2 reds, 8 blues, 5 blacks, and 7 whites); Mr Popham 91, with 29 hits ( 1 gold, 2 reds, 7 blues, 7 blacks, and 12 whites) ; and Mr Edwards 84, with 24 hits ( 1 gold, 2 reds, 4 blacks, and 9 whites). The best gold at 100 yards was made by Captain Bland; other golds being measured to Messrs Atkinson, W. Smith, Betham, A. Radcliff'e, Galloway, Popham, Keatinge, and Horner. Among the other scores made at this range were:— Mr Finley 36, Mr de Burgh 47, Capt Bland 61. Mr Smith 58, Mr Horner 70, Mr Ratcliffe 55, Mr Bredalbane 37, Mr Purves 49, Mr Brinkley 58, Mr Bateman 7, Mr Elliott 43, Capt Irvine 20, Mr Galloway 38, Mr Wise 31, Mr Macnamara 65, Mr Lawson 7, Capt Betham 78, Mr T. Radcliffe 32, Mr Hendrick 36. As the day advanced the rain fell heavily, and at four o'clock the ladies, who had com- menced their 60 yards shooting wheH the gentlemen began their 80 yards, had to retire. Mrs Horniblow, the Championess of Eng- land, who scored on the other side of the Channel the highest numbers yet attained in archery, displayed her usual skill, hitting at every end with each arrow discharged, until with 15 to let fly she had scored 81, namely, 2 golds, 3 reds, 6 blues, and 4 blacks. From this time the rain continued to descend very heavily, and at five o'clock it was officially announced that the shooting would be resumed on Thursday morning. Miss Betham and Mrs Walters were at that time making average scores ; and at the 80 yards distance Messrs Atkinson, Coulson, and Walters were taking the lead of other competitors. SHEKWOOD ARCHEBS.— At the second meeting of these archers for the current season, the shooting was attended with the follow- ing results:— Ladies'first prize, Miss A. Hutchinson— score 223, hits 51; second prize, Miss Atkinson— score 219, hits 47 ; best gold. Miss Cane; greatest number of golds ( given by the Rev J. Walker, president). Miss E. Maltby; greatest number of reds ( given by the Re? Mr Wilkinson), Miss 8impson ; strangers' first prize for ladies, Miss G. Hazlerigg— score 132, hits 32; gentle- men's first prize, the Rev C. C. Ellison— score256, hits 54; second prize, Mr M. Madden— score 111, hits 29; best gold, the Rev Mr Flamstead; stranger's prize, Mr Rideout— score 123, hits 31. An- nexed are some of the leading scores:— Miss Simpson, score 170, hits 44; Miss E. Tallents, score 160, hits 42; Miss Luard, score 159, hits 43; Miss E. Maltby, score 149, hits 38; Miss F. Myers, score 141, hits 39 ; Mrs Gordon, score 138, hits 30; Miss Houson, score 134, hits 38 ; Miss Atkinson, score 130, hits 34 ; the Rev Mr Wilkinson, score 212, hits 49; the Rev S. R. Hole, score 142, hits 34. Mr Batty's prize brood mare for hunting purposes was the only one in the class without some sort of a pedigree ac- companying her nomination. There were a number ef similar classes tor hackneys, but the merits of these were not equal to the hunters, the large entry of " hackney geldings or mares of any age, not less than 14 hands high, and qualified to carry 12 stone," being made up of a very moderate lot, and with really nothing like a perfect hack amongst them. Coarse and common in their appearance, the nicest- looking was a neat little chesnut, by All Fours, with which Mr Guant took the second prize ; and the best goer, Charley, by Prick willow, a thin tailed horse, to whose legs the judges objected, their choice going to a flashy, flourishing, white- heeled bay, also by All Fours, and the property of Mr Kirby, of Driffield, but by no means a model hack to our notion. Mr Matthews' three year old chesnut, by Merry Legs, was more like it to look at; but the point between her and Mr Pease's ( another chesnut) was a very nice one, and we lost a shilling over the award. Mr Jackson's Young Pretender, by Flying Buck, took the first prize for roadster stallions, and Mr Cook's Yorkshire Phenomenon the second ; with Mr Rickell's Priory Leys, by Old Merry Legs, as the best roadster mare with a foal. Long as it took to get through all this work, there was still little thought of leaving, for " the reeoe horses" had still to be judged, coming into the ring as usual amongst the last of all. Of the five " thorough bred stallions for hunters'' named, General Williams and Old Farnham were scratched; but Motley, who had been entered in his wrong class amongst the roadsters, was allowed to show in his proper place against Cavendish, Cawston, and High Treason. Cavendish, who looks just the horse for the purpose, and who was in brighter trim than at Worcester, of course won the first prize of £ 20, amidst much cheering. Indeed, whan one scans his fine muscular frame, set on to short wearing legs, and notes his good colour, and sound and stout " constitutional'' character, it is hard to imagine how a horse with so many weak places about him as Neville could ever have beaten Cavendish! Cawston,| by virtue of his sheer size, took the second prize, and the handsomer Motley was commended; while the judges would have nothing to do with the yet more bloodlike High Treason, whose weak pasterns and other infirmities scarcely qualify him for any place in the show ground. The Yorkshire Agricultural Society goes next year to Howden, whose very associations should make the horses even a stronger feature than ever. THE CANTERBURY WEEK. ENGLAND v THIRTEEN OF KENT. Aug 10.— Once more were the old faces visible at Canterbury on Monday last, Aug 10, and the ground thronged with fashion- ables. The match was played on the St Lawrence's Ground, and the affair throughout was even more than ever successful, which may, perhaps, be attributed to the popularity and energy of the Rev. W. De C. Baker, hon sec, and the committee. The play com- menced at 20 minutes past twelve. England won the toss, and, of course, availed themselves of the advantage of going in. The ground had been got into splendid order, under the management of Fuller Pilch. The weather was lovely, and an immense assem- blege of the aristocracy of Kent and hundreds from London were, as usual, in attendance. Mr W. Nicholson was the captain of the England Eleven. Hearne played for Parr, who has hurt his leg The hon sec of the Marylebone Club played in the room of Jack- son, who also had the misfortune to hurt his leg. That wonder- ful hitter Mr E. M. Grace, with Mr Nicholson, first made their appearance at the wickets to the bowling of Willsher and Ben- nett. Mr Nicholson having made a leg- hit from Bennett for four, was splendidly caught by Willsher in the slip with his left ( right) hand ; thus the first wicket fell for eight runs. Grundy followed, and the play was very slow; even Mr Grace did not hit in his accustomed style, owing to the ex- cellent bowling, Willsher's especially. Shortly afterwards, how- ever, they both set to work, and caused Sewell to be put on at Bennett's end. His second and third over obtained Grundy and Mr Grace's ( played on) wickets, for the respective totals of 38 and 43; Grundy's by two fours ( drive and a cut), two twos, and singles; Mr Grace's by a four ( cut from Sewell), and he was bowled next over. The remainder of his score consisted of two twos, & c. Hay ward had soon to go, being caught in the slip ; total the same. Hearne, with Carpenter, only caused two more to be added, and Mr Fitzgerald left it at 47, being caught at the wicket by J. Bennett, a new and excellent wicket- keeper. Mort- lock gave a skyer to point; total seven for 52. Griffith and Carpenter, however, got a strong hold, and the bowlers had to be changed about. They increased the total to 126, when 8ewell, who bowled admirably throughout, got one past Griffith. This occurred after dinner. He played an unusually steady innings, which comprised a four ( leg- hit from Willsher), two twos, and singles. Carpenter soon after followed, the total being then 129, of which he contributed a splendid innings of 36, composed of three fours ( two being splendid drives from Willsher), a three ( drive from Sewell), and remainder in singles, showing that the bowling must have been good. Two more runs only were scored, when the scorers announced 131; time, twenty- five minutes to four o'clock. The betting, which was freely" 2 to 1 on England in London, and 6 and 7 to 4 on the ground at the commencement, was now even, the Eleven for choice. The County sent in Mr Kelson and G. Bennett against the bowling of Grundy and Tarrant; the two bats secured a good hold— the bowling collared. The first ball that Grundy bowled, seven byes were scored, three at first and four for an overthrow. Mr Grace was put on with his slows at Tarrant's end, but only to be punished, and after five overs Hay ward was tried, and bowled very well, but could not get a wicket. Grundy eventually secured Mr Kelson, and the next ball Wenman. The former's excellent innings of 26 comprised four fours ( splendid drives and a square- leg hit), two threes, and singles. Thus the first and second fell for 48 runs. Willsher and Bennett caused three figures to be hoisted on the " tele,'' during which time Mr Fitzgerald was on at Grundy's end; his third over got Bennett caught at point— well done; his figures were five fours ( two drives, two cuts, and a square- leg hit), five twos, and singles. Willsher and Mr Wathen caused 103 to be totalled, when the former was caught in the slip from the hon secretary; his figures were two fours ( leg hits from Tarrant and Fitzgerald), two twos, & c. We may add that, owing to the somewhat curious arrangements of the " distances," fours were easily scored. Mr Wathen went immediately, being caught at the wicket; thus five fell for 104. Mr Lub- bock and Captain Deune increased the total to 123; the former then run out. Tom Sewell followed, and was " b Tear'em,'' generally so designated by the talent; Mr Barber was served the same. Capt Denne during his innings had a most severe blow on the hand, which entirely incapacitated him from batting with two hands; he also had to " tear away" to the tent from the fast bowler, his figures being a four ( leg- hit from Fitz- gerald), two threes ( drives), and the rest in singles; nine wickets for 149 runs. Fryer, notwithstanding his loss, could not be got rid of, playing a not out innings of 24; Goodhew made a good stand with him until he was caught at the wicket from the slows, making a four ( leg- hit from Tarrant), two twos, and singles. J. Bennett and Mr Lipscombe did not stop long, and so Fryer was not allowed to score any more; his figures were three fours ( two leg- hits and a drive), two threes ( leg and a drive), a two, & c. The innings terminated at ten minutes past one on Tuesday for 191, being exactly 60 ahead of their opponents. We cannot say much of the fielding of England. Grundy bowled well, and it will be seen that Mr Fitzgerald's round arm slows secured three wickets. In the second innings of England they made a slowish start. Tarrant and Mr Grace were sent to the wickets to the bowling of Willsher and Sewell; they put together 23, when the latter was caught mid- wicket on. Mr Nicholson then came, and played one of his " old form" innings. Tarrant was caught, owing to a popper, at point, making two fours ( leg- hit and a drive from Sewell), a two, & c; total same. Grundy followed, and before the two were parted they made an additional 10, when cover- point— under difficulties— secured Grundy, who had scored four singles. Carpenter joined Mr Nicholson, and the latter, after 63 had been chronicled, was given out leg before wicket, he himself not appearing at all satisfied with the decision, which was given by William Pilch, who, conjointly with his uncle ( Fuller) and Royston, were umpires. Mr. Nicholson's figures were two fours ( drives from Sewell), a three, three twos, & c. Carpenter was the next wicket to go— Fryer get- ting him in " two minds." He and Hay ward caused some changes in the bowling. Carpenter's figures were five fours ( of which two were good drives and one cut), one three, three twos, and singles. The innings was not one of his first- class ones, but the ground was very hard, which made it somewhat difficult to play upon. Sewell settled Hearne the first ball upon resuming bowling; his figures were two fours ( drives from Fryer and Bennett), a three ( drive), and singles. Mr Fitzgerald was caught at cover slip— the total being increased from 128 to 133. Hay ward was then bowled off his legs, playing a very careful innings of 16, composed of a four ( cut from Lipscombe), a three ( drive from Fryer), a two, and sin- gles. Eight wickets down for 140. The ninth wicket ( Griffith's) went for 146, and Lockyer's, the last man, at a quarter past five o'clock went for the sum total of 150, or 91 to get to win. 3 to 1 was now laid on Kent, but it will be seen they fell short by 26 runs, the bowling of England being remarkably good. Mr Kelson went the first ball, Bennett fell in Grundy's third over; the two for 10 runs, of which Wenman obtained six by an overthrow ; he made a three, a two, and singles, up to 14, when he was caught in the slip— total 21. The fourth and fifth went for 22— Wathen and Lubbock. The seventh ( Barber's) went for 29, as did also the eighth ( Willsher's), who was bowled the first over on Wednesday morning, having contributed 12 over- night by a four ( cut), a three ( square leg), a two, & c. Goodhew and J. Bennett made a stand, although the former was suffering severely from an injured foot; he made two fours, a two, and singles. Bennetta four, a three, & e, and thus, at a quarter to one o'clock, Kent were beaten men by 25 runs. The usual theatricals took place, but the unavoidable absence of the Hon F. and 8. Ponsonby, of the " old stagers,'' was much regretted. Mr Tom Taylor, with his " Ticket of Leave Man,'' however, was in atten- dance, and, of course, was a complete success, and drew im- mense houses. Mr Raes, photographer, of the Haymarket, was on the ground, and took the Kent Thirteen, also the Maryle- bone Club side, both admirably executed. The B. B's. and I Z. were likewise photographed.

The number of marriages reported is 35,454, against 33,274 and 33,976 in twe previous March quarters. In London marriages were 5,305 and 5,752 in 1861- 2; in the present year they rose to 6,226. The num- ber of births in the quarter was 189,611, that in the same period of 1862 having been 185,638. Nearly 26,000 children were born in London in 13 weeks. The births exceeded the deaths by, 71,236. Therefore each day in the three months gave on an average a na- tural increase of 783 to the population. Immigration and emi- gration modify the result. After a period of two years, in which the public health was better than usual, the mortality rose in the last three months of 1862, was high in the first three months ( the winter quarter) of the current year, and continued above the ave- rage in the quarter for which the returns are now made. In this last period the death- rate was 2.313 per cent per annum, while the average was 2- 191. With the present exception, a spring quarter has not occurred since the year 1853, in which the rate of mortality was as high as 2- 3. The deaths in London rose from 15,230 and 15,695 in the June quarter of 1861- 2 to 17,417 last quar ter. Those in the north- western counties rose from 17,576 and 18,017 to 19,467 ; those in Yorkshire from 11,600 and 11,916 to 13,339. The increase in Lancashire and Cheshire in last quarter on the mean mortality of the two previous seasons was 9 per cent, and less than in London and Yorkshire, where it was 13 per cent. THE CHASE. and the two bats stopped awhile, playing very cautiously indeed until they had reached 30, when Kelson was caught in the slip. It will be seen that no other stand was made in company of Lub- bock, who maintained his position to the very last, going in on the fall of the first wicket, and his figures were three twos, and the rest singles. Kelson's 14 comprised a four ( cut from Mil- man;, a three, & c. Robertson made two fours to the leg, and the innings terminated for 87 only, 100 in minority. We ought not to omit the Champion Close Court Racket Player's 9, he making a drive for four, and singles. Kent had, therefore, to follow their innings, sending in the not out player and W. Wathen. The two ran up the score to 51, and brought on Grace and Mor- daunt, neither of whom lasted long. The Major had, therefore, to settle Lubbock, who contributed a steady well- played innings of 21, composed of a three, three twos, & c. Mr Kelson then assisted in running up the score to 72, when he was caught at the wicket, making a four ( drive), a three, and two twos. His partner soon followed him, who contributed a finely played innings of 38, consisting of four fours ( leg hits and drives), © ne three, six twos, & c. Nothing was then particularly done until Messrs Troughton and Dyke got together, who rattled away at a terrific pace, defying all the bowling. At length Mr Fellowes, in the last over on Thursday night, got him stumped off his fast bowling, by Mr Nicholson— very cleverly done. His figures were two fours ( to the leg), a three, six twos, & c. They increased the score from 120 t « 207 i which made the county look forward for success on Friday. On Friday the weather was as fine as on the four previous days, and play commenced shortly before twelve o'clock. The third ball of Mr Arkwright's secured Mr Lipscombe at mid- on. The total of 207, therefore, was not altered, and Kent put their oppo- nents in for 108. Capt Troughton's splendid ( not out) innings of 37 comprised five fours, a three, a two, and singles. He was highly congratulated by his county upon his " much- wanted" innings. Marylebone in their second innings sent in Messrs Grace and Mordaunt. In Lipscombe's first over Grace made a leg- hit for four; and in Kelson's first Mordaunt made a drive for three. Shortly afterwards Grace made a drive from Lipscombe for four, and was then caught in the slip, amidst some applause; the first wicket fell for 16 runs. Mr Nicholson followed, but Mordaunt immediately went, his figures being a three, twos, & c; thus two went for 22, and the hopes of Kent were looking up. The major was well run out by little Mr Hemsted, who fielded the ball in a most cricket- like manner; another 9 had to be chronicled, making a total of 39. The two M. C. C. committee gentlemen stayed, so as to bring Hemsted on at Kelson's end, when a total of 65 had been made. He, however, only bowled two overs, off which 8 runs were got, when W. A. Wathen went on with slows ( round arm) at his end, and bowled Mr Nicholson the first ball; his figures were a four ( drive from Lipscombe), three twos, and singles; his ( the fourth wicket) went for 73 runs. Capt Parnell then made a splendid cut from the slows for four; Mr Lipscombe here bowled Mr Fitzgerald a " bailer," he being missed in the slip a few balls before. His figures were a four ( cut from Kelson), three twos, and singles. Five wickets had now fallen for 79 runs, when Mr Marsham made his appearance, but soon drove the ball back; total, six for 85, and dinner was announced. After the repast, Captain Parnell was splendidly caught by Captain Taswell, who had a distance of some twenty yards to run in order to reach the ball; thus the seventh wicket fell for 85 runs. Mr Burly made a square leg- hit for four, and was caught at the wicket. Captain H. Marshall was win- ning the match, when Lipscombe, who was bowling admirably, scattered his stumps. Thus nine went for 103, or 5 runs to get to win, Mr Fellowes having made a cut for four. Mr Arkwright came and got three of them, and, with a bye and a no ball called by Royston, the winning runs were obtained. Thus the M. C. C. won by two wickets. The match terminated shortly after four o'clock. Mr Izaac fielded admirably for Col Marshall. Score: MARYLEBONE. 1st inn 2d inn E. M.

LIVERPOOL v MANCHESTER. The return match between these clubs was played at Manchester on Aug 5, but, owing to the very late muster of the Manchester gentlemen and the heavy score made against them, only a part of their first innings could be played. On the Liverpool side 66 runs were made for the first wicket, and 58 for the last. Score : LIVERPOOL. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. E. J. Thornewill, c Wadeson, b Bousfield 3s A.

The joyous notes of the foxhound again awaken us from our reveries, reminding us of happy hours approaching, when the pleasing toils of the huntsman, who, having initiated the young hopefuls of his pack in the mysteries of the chase, the usual invi- tations will be issued to greet them at the covert side. The charms of cubhunting are, perhaps, restricted to a chosen few; more exciting attractions summon " Young England'' to their altars. The village curate, peradventure, rises at early dawn to indulge in the joys with which Jem Hills had inspired him at a time when they were doubly sweet, affording relaxation from his ab- struse studies. He can enjoy his cubhunting pastime without dread of encountering the stern eye of the rector, who, if he hunts himself in the midst of the season, deems it sacrilege in his de pendant to follow his example. A farmer or two, whose affection for the young hounds they have reared with such intense care, and for which good office the highly- valued goblet glitters in all its freshness on the sideboard, are anxious to see how well their ; proteges will enter, and thus the field is chiefly composed. The Duke of Beaufort's hounds commenced operations on the 7th at Swangrove, a covert bordering the park familiar to all who are acquainted with the Badminton country. The atmosphere was warm and damp, distressing to hounds, but after a good morning's work they drew the first blood of the season. On the following day Bilkwood was the scene of action, with a similar result. TQ keep on equal terms with their neighbours Lord Fitzhar- dicge's hounds commenced on the self same 7th, and in Redwood found their first cub, which they hunted some considerable time with a very poor scent till he found refuge underground, where he was left to his meditations. A second was at home in Bushy Grove, but there was so little scent and the atmosphere so hot that it was deemed most prudent to return to the kennel. On the Saturday they again visited Bushy Grove, Ward's Grove, and Oxen Brook Gorse, but the cubs were in the standing corn, or beans, or seme outlying quarters. An old fox was in waiting in Hoare's Grove, but he was not wanted. They then proceeded to the castle plantations, and found a cub indulging in a field close by, which after running a short time came to hand. They after- wards found a nice litter of five luxuriating in a field of beans, a brace of which were killed. A good rattling in Hill Woods on Tuesday displayed a profusion of foxes, one of which, after a deal of hard running, went to ground, and on being got out was killed. HUNTING PROSPECTS IN NORFOLK.— We have heard a rumour that a pack of staghounds will be attempted in Norfolk next winter. At the ram lettings held of late the health of Mr Ville- bois, Master of the West Norfolk, has been enthusiastically re- ceived. At Mr R. Aylmer's, at Westacre, an interesting fragment of gossip was announced, namely, that there are seven litters of cubs on the Westacre Manor this year. The Prince of Wales is expected down at Sandringham in October or November, and will no doubt show himself as well up as he did last year. THE HOUND SHOW AT REDCAK.— AS we stated in our report last week, a photograph was taken of the huntsmen in a group immediately after the award of the prizes had been announced, and this is now published by Mr Hoggard, of Redcar, who has registered his copyright in the work. To use our own words, it is " a very pleasing memento" of a very memorable occasion, and some ef the portraits are especially good ; such, for instance, as that of Fred Turpin, the champion of the day, or " The Life Guardsman," as somebody christened him in compliment to his fair proportions. Then Will 8mith, of the Brocklesby, is still bet- ter; and Ben Morgan and gallus Jack Parker in couples, as clever, not merely in the matter of likeness, but as reflecting just the H. W.

MARYLEBONE CLUB v GENTLEMEN OF KENT- TWELVE A SIDE. AUG 12.— Soon after the above contest was concluded, these two sides ( not elevens) commenced their match. The ground was hard, but good. The absence of the Hons F. and 8. Ponsonby, was much regretted by all classes, but it was unavoidable. The weather was still lovely, and the immense ring of spectators re- mained to witness the play. M. C. C. won the toss, and sent Mr Grace and Col Marshall, to the bowling of Messrs Kelson and Hemsted, a young and promising player all round, and Hants will have in him a really first- class man; he is not more than 18 years of age, and at present at school in Kent. The play was cautious at first, when the colonel made use of his strong arm, and let out for a four, two, and five, but afterwards received a heavy blow on the hand, completely splitting his finger. He, however, gallantly stuck to his work until he was compelled to retreat, being caught in the slip, owing entirely to the severe injury he had received. Thus the first wicket fell for 17 runs. Capt Parnell immediately at- tended on the colonel. Two for 21. Major Milman stopped and killed them by fours! Mr Grace doing the same until the two had reached 120, when the major had his timber shattered. Mr Nicholson settled down for a four, Mr Marsham only a two, Mr Fitzgerald one— thus four went for 127, five for 129, six for 134, when Mordaunt joined Mr Grace, and the hitting again became terrific, but only a limited space being allowed for fours, there was not much leather hunting. Capt H. Marshall seemed quite " at home" with his 14, in which he made a four, a three, and two twos. His, the seventh wicket, went for 135. Mr. Fellowes was immediately caught in the same place— cover slip, and it was then Mr Grace's turn to go, by hitting the ball on the wicket, otherwise it looked as if they never would have got him out. His innings, of course, was a hitting one, though with a fair share of defence ; the figures were nine fours, one three, six twos, and singles. Of course he was loudly applauded as he wended his way to the tent. The total was 172. Mr Mordaunt played a splendid ( not out) innings of 24, composed of a four, two threes, a two, and singles. Mr Burly made a leg hit from Wathen, for 4, but Mr Arkwright could not score, and the innings closed for 187, abo\ jt two o'clock. Messrs Hemsted and Lipscombe bowled well. Kent sent in Messrs Inge ( brother to the Oxford player) and Hemsted, to the bowling of Major Milman and Arkwright, the former is a round arm medium pace bowler, the latter our readers know all about, Inge made a leg- hit for four, the Major's first ball, and in Arkwright's first over was run out. Thus the first wicket fell for four runs. Messrs Lubbock and Hemsted showed some excellent play, but could not score. Hemsted was then caught in the slip; two for 11. Mr Kelson followed, I ZINGARI.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS- In the early part of the week money was decidedly dearer, and the demand was stimulated in consequence of the requirements of the public who are now leaving town, and also by the extra expenditure incidental to the season in the agricultural districts on account of the harvest work. These circumstances combined to enhance the value of the rates, and bankers and brokers engaging in discount business asked higher terms, and few com- mercial bills could be negotiated under the Bank of England mini- mum of 4 per cent. An easier feeling now prevails, but no material change is expected. At the same time, however, the specie movement continues favourable, and scarcely a day elapses without a tolerably large parcel of gold passing into the posses- sion of the authorities. The commercial advices from most parts of the country speak favourably regarding the progress of business and with the exception of those departments affected by special causes, general prosperity may be said to predominate. At the Stock Exchange there has been a partial revival of speculation in Mexican, Greek, and Spanish Bonds. The Funds have continued firm, and Consols closed yesterday ( Friday) evening at 92£ to 93 for money, and at 93j to 93j for the account. During the week the dealings in the Foreign Stock Market were moderately active, and prices generally exhibited an upward movement. The Confederate Cotton Loan has improved about 3 per cent, Mexican Stock has advanced if, Spanish Passive Bonds 1, and the Italian Loan J per cent. Turkish Bonds have also been at enhanced quotations. The Loan of 1858 improved 1, that of 1862 1, and the Consolides f per cent. The dealings in the Railway Share Market during the past week were not very extensive, and few variations of importance took place in values, the settlement of the account having occu- pied the chief attention of the dealers and speculators. West Midland impreved j, Great Western j, South Eastern and Great Eastern f, Midland 1, Great Northern I5, and Caledonian 2 per cent. The foreign and colonial lines remained inactive, and prices exhibited no variations of importance. SATURDAY EVENING. The Funds to- day have been steady. Consols closed at 93 to 93| for money, and 93J f for the account. In the Foreign Market the Confederate Loan declined 1 per cent to 25 23 discount, Spanish Passive Bonds improved f to 34 5 and Turkish Bonds were in steady request; the Loan of 1854 closed at 92£ 93 § , ditto 1858 at 71| § , ditto 1862 68 j, and the Con solidSs at 48f 49. Railway Bhares were a shade firmer. South Eastern im- proved If. Bank and Miscellaneous shares were without material variation, ROBBERY OF £ 20 WORTH OF PR0PIRTY. To- day, at the Mansion House, William Stone, Alfred Stone, and George Connell were charged with stealing a case containing about 200 albums, worth £ 20, from the passage of the ware house at 18, Gutter- lane, the property of Mr Thomas Young. '< Vi case had been placed in the passage ready for the carrier to d ^ t it, and iu the afternoon it was missed. The police were infoas d of the robbery, and after some investigation it was discovered ft the three prisoners had taken the case off in a truck to a cofftee^ house in Hoxton, kept by a man named Thiers. The prisoners were taken into custody, but none of the property was found, except part of the case itself, which was burning in the yard. The prisoners admitted the robbery, but stated that the owner of the coffee- house had no knowledge of their having stolen the case.— Committed for trial. A " LADY" CHARGED WITH ABUSIVE LANGUAGE To- day, at Marborough- street police court, Mrs Alicia Hennyj of No. 39, Curzon- street, Mayfair, was summoned for using abu. sive and insulting language to Capt Alexander Campbell, of Bury- street, St. James's.— Mr Sleigh appeared for the com plainant, and Mr Gifford for the defendant.— Capt CampbelJ said he had known the defendant for some years. On the after, noon of July 6 he was walking in Hyde Park with a friend, when the defendant passed him in a Brougham. As she passed she ges- ticulated and made faces at him, and called him by a wrong name. He walked on, but the Brougham followed and overtook him, when the defendant called out, " You beggar, when are you going to pay me?'' adding " Who keeps you now you bas. tard." He turned into South Audley- street, and the Brougham turned up alse, and followed him, and he then spoke to a con- stable, and gave her into custody. He had done nothing to pro- voke this attack upon him. He had merely kissed his hand in a gentlemanly way, and had not put his finger to his nose.— This evidence was confirmed by Mr Beckett, the complainant's friend, who was walking with him at the time.— The constable said the defendant appeared to be excited, and told him that she had kept the complainant for years. He thought the excitement proceeded from drink.— Mr Knox considered that if the complainant had really wished to get away from the defendant he might easily have done so. The summons must be dismissed. DISGUSTING CONDUCT IN THE STREETS. To- day, at Marlborough- street police court, Henry Williamson, clerk, 25, Remington- street, City- road, was charged with com mitting an indecent assault upon several females on the previou. night in Little Argyll- street. Mr Kean, who witnessed the prisoner's conduct, went up and seized him, upon which a severe struggle took place, and Mr Kean was twice thrown down by the prisoner. A police constable, however, caine up, and he was taken to the station. The females were frightened at the prisoner's conduct, and did not appear to make a charge.— The prisoner's defence was drunkenness.— Mr Knox said that if the females had appeared against him he should have sent him for trial for his abominable conduct. As it was, he should fine him. 40s, or a month's imprisonment. ATTEMPTED ROBBERY IN A DWELLING- HOUSE. To- day, at Westminster, Henry Cameron was charged with entering the house 132, Warwick- street, Pimlico, for the purpose of committing a felony.— Georgiana Southwood, dressmaker, said that at about half- past eight o'clock on the previous night she left the above house on business, when she saw two men on the steps in conversation. Upon returning about five minutes afterwards, one of the men was standing at the door, and she said to him, " What do you do there ?" Directly afterwards the prisoner looked out of the parlour- window and leaped from there to the steps of the street door. Witness rushed up to him and seized him by the collar. He struggled hard, and they both fell down. She called for help and still held him tight, till a policeman came up and took him into custody. Prisoner had nearly broken her fingers in the struggle.— Mr Selfe remanded the prisoner for inquiries to be made about him. R. Qnfte, c and b Heal 4 R. Wither, b Franklin 37 W.

Dyke, c Bryan, b Heal DEATH OF LORD CLYDE. Every one will hear with regret that Colin Campbell, Field- Marshal Lord Clyde, has been gathered to his fathers. His lord- ship died on Friday afternoon at the residence of General Eyre, at Chatham, after a long illness, in the seventy- first year of his age, having been born October 20, 1792. Lord Clyde entered the army in May, 1808. He served with the 9th Regiment in the Peninsula and at Walcheren, and was present at the battle of Vimiera in the advance and retreat of the army under Sir John Moore, and battle of Corunna; at the battle of Barrosa and the defence of Tarifa. He was attached to the army of Ballasteros at the latter end of 1812, and was present at several affairs; also in an expedition to relieve Tarragona; was at the affair of Osma, battle of Vittoria, siege of St Sebastian ( where he received two severe wounds), and passage of the Bidassoa, where he was again severely wounded. Served in America in 1814- 15 in the 60th Rifles; was brigade- major of the troops engaged in quelling the insurrection in Demerara in 1823 ; commanded the 98th Regiment in the expedition to China in 1842, including the capture of Chinkianfoo, and subsequent operations near to Nankin ; commanded the 3d division of the army of the Punjab throughout the Punjab campaign of 1848- 9, including the affair of Ramnuggur, passage of the Ctienab, affair of Sadoolapore, battles of Chillianwailah ( wounded), ana Goojerat and the final opera- tions. He was constantly employed in 1851- 52, when Brigadier- General commanding thePesliawur districts, in operations against the hill tribes surrounding the valley, including the forcing of the Koliat Pass under Sir Charles Napier, and repeated affairs with the Mormund3, who finally made terms after their defeat at Punj Pao, by a small detachment of cavalry and horse artillery under his immediate command, tbe com- bined tribes numbering upwards of 8,000 men. In 1852 he commanded an expedition against the Cotmankbail and Banazar tribes, whom he attacked in their valleys, and destroyed the strongly defended village of Nowadund, the fortified village of Pranghur, and he finally routed them with great slaughter at Tskakote, where they mustered 8,000 men, while his force was under 3,000 men. Commanded the Highland Brigade and High- land Division throughout the Eastern campaign of 1854- 55, in- cluding the battles of Alma and Balaklava, and the siege of Be- bastopol. For his distinguished military services, after going through all the preliminary grades, he was, in 1855, created aGrand Cross of the Order of the Bath, and in addition to that honourable distinction he also received the decoration of the Legion of Honour, the Grand Cross of St Maurice and St Lazarus, and the first class of the Medjidie and Turkish medal. He received for his services in the Peninsula the war medal with six clasps, also the Chinese medal, and was decorated with several foreign orders. For his distinguished services in India, his successful advance to and capture and occupation of Lucknow, having only shortly before arrived in India to take the supreme command, he was made a peer of the United Kingdom, and by the successful result of the campaign, granted a pension of two thousand pounds a year. On his return to England the highest honours were bestowed upon him. With all these accumulations of honours the noble lord, although externally presenting robust health, had the seeds of disease deeply sown within him. The early symptoms of illness portrayed themselves nearly twelve months back. With the excellent medical advice at his command, his lordship recovered from his illness, and full hopes were given that the serious malady was overcome; latterly those hopes were thoroughly abandoned, and his friends have during the last two months been fully prepared for the fatal result of his illness. His commissions bore date as follows:— Ensign, 26th May, 1808; lieutenant, 28th June, 1809; captain, 9th November, 1813; major, 26tti November, 1825; lieut- colonel, 26th October, 1832; colonel, 23d December, 1842 ; major- general, 20th June, 1854; lieut- general, 4th June, 1856; general, 14th May, 1858; and field- mar- shal, 9th November, 1862. He was appointed Colonel of the 93d Highlanders in January, 1858 ; and 011 the 22d June, in 1860, was appointed Colonel of the Coldstream Guards. CHARGE OF STABBING- To- day, at Southwark police court, Alexander Johnstone, engi. neer, 30, was charged with stabbing Charles Fury five times in different parts of his body. The prisoner lived in the same house with the prosecutor and his wife, and 011 the 25th ult the prisoner had been drinking hard, and when he came home at eight o'clock he began quarrelling with the prosecutor about taking some liber- ties with his wife. They had a scuffle in the passage, and they afterwards continued fighting in the street. The prisoner was very much intoxicated, and while they were struggling the prisoner got hold of a clasp knife, with which he stabbed the prosecutor five different times before they were separated. The defence was drunkenness, and that the prisoner did not know what he was about at the time.— Committed for trial. WATCH ROBBERY AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE. To- day, at Lambeth police court, Robert Biggs, a well- dressed youth of 19, who refused to give his address or any account of himself, was charged with stealing from the person of Mr Hugh Lamberton a gold^ watch, value 30 guineas. The prosecutor on his way to the railway station was much crowded, and while resting his arm against a wall to keep the pressure away from his wife, the prisoner broke away his watch, and was seen to throw it behind a barrier, where it was found. Inquiries had been made amongst the police, and it was discovered that the prisoner had been visited by a noted thief, and also by two women, who seemed to be of bad character. He was sentenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. ROBBERY BY A DOMESTIC SERVANT. To- day, at Greenwich police court, Jane Francis, a housemaid in the family of Mr Lewes, of Upper Lewisham- road. was charged with robbing her master. The prisoner had been in the service 0£ Mr Lewes about a fortnight, when several bottles of wine were missed from the pantry, and a policeman was called in. The prisoner at first denied any knowledge of the missing wine, but at last admitted she had taken it, and upon a search being made in her boxes, a number of articles were found belonging to Mr Lewes, including a dressing- case, a box containing silver coin, silk handkerchiefs, & c.— She was fully committed for trial.

The shooting season at Crieff opened on Wednesday under the most favourable circumstances. The morning was bright, clear, and frosty, and immediately after daybreak both hill and dale reverberated with the almost incessant discharge of guns. About ten o'clock, however, the wind began to blow in strong gusts at intervals, which continued the whole day, and operated in a great measure against successful shooting, and more especially on the hill tops. The Hon J. C. Dundas was out on the Corriemuckloch Moors; Messrs Lascelles and Oliver at Auchdafree; Mr George P. Gunnis and party at Fendach ; Sir Hugh Hume Campbell at Monzie, which is among the best moors of Perthshire ; Messrs Lumsden and Muir tested the best runs of Glenturret; Mr Walker and party were out at Lochearnhead; and the Hon Gilbert Heath- cote, M. P., and Col Tyrwhitt on the Drummond Castle grounds. The sport generally was good, and seldom have grouse been seen so strong, healthy, and wild so early in the season, for the coveys rose to a great distance, and were difficult to get within shot of. The boxes and hampers of gamesentfrom therailway station to the south on Wednesday afternoon were not so numerous as in some previous years, but the birds were never seen in better condition. The Hon. Gilbert Heatlicote, M P., shot, a few days ago, a fine fallow deer in the parks of Drummond Castle, and enjoyed good sport at wild duck shooting 011 Tuesday. The recent rains and warm weather have improved the broods of partridges, which are abundant on the hill sides and low- lying farms ; and in conse- THE CONDEMNED CONVICTS AT MAIDSTONE. The death warrant was received on Friday for the execution of the two prisoners, Alfred Eldridge and Alfred Holden, the former convicted of the murder of Richard Steel, and the latter the murder of his own child. Thursday next is the day fixed for the execution, and there is no doubt that in the case of Eldridge the law will| take its course, but as regards Holden • petitions have been presented for a commutation of his sentence, 011 the ground of insanity. It appears that he has always been considered as an imbecile in his regiment, and his father died insane, and two of his uncles committed suicide. No answer has yet been returned to the petitions. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. The August sessions of this court will commence to- morrow ( Monday), and, although considerable time has elapsed since the adjournment of the court, there are not more than 100 prisoners. Out of these there are seven cases of manslaughter, but 110 charge of murder. The judges will be Mr Justice Blackburne Mr Justice Keating, and Mr Justice Mellor. HORNCASTLE GREAT HORSE FAIR.— This great horse fair com- menced on Tuesday, Aug 11, but prior to the formal opening, as a public mart many stables of horses were on private view, and business to a large extent was transacted. The show of horses exceeded many preceding fairs, and comprised a varied description of horses of the highest order. Lincolnshire produced a large field of handsome cattle. Yorkshire contributed extensively, and the show was completed by a large importa- tion of well bred horses from Ireland. There was a large attend- ance of horse dealers, professional and amateur, continental agents, army contractors, and gentlemen of the field. The de- mand for horses of first- class was steady, but thefairgenerally was this year divested of much of that spirit of competition which is generally manifested. The opening day was chiefly limited to taking stock of the fair, but on subsequent days business com- menced actively, the general average selling prices being as fol- lows:— Well grown young horses, rising four and five years old, unbroke, but adaptable to double harness and private carriage purpose, 50gs to 6ogs ; fine upstanding ditto, settled down to har- ness, 70gs to 80gs; and matched pairs of bays, grays, & c, 160gs to 180gs ; neat going, high stepping, active horses for light Broug- hams, & c, 45gsto oogs ; handsome ditto, of high fashion, suitable for phaeton, cabriolet park driving, chargers, & c, 85gs to lOOgs and 130g8; thick- set, short- jointed, sound young horses, for town carts, vans, omnibus work, machiners, & c, 35gs to 45gs; of thv-^ ass there were many Irish horses, and from which selections'^; re made for artillery and other military purposes. Cart rhrses, young, sound, and active, for road work, brewers, & c, 45f£ to 55gs; seasoned cart horses for farming work made but few figures; promising cart colts fetched from 24gs to 35gs. Biood stock : Young horses of good pedigree made from 60gs to 70gs, and those accustomed to the hounds lOOgs, and horses possessing any of the undermentioned special qualities, viz, horses of high- blood and celebrity, high mettled and up to heavy weight, good timber jumpers, & c, realised figures ranging from 150gs to 300gs ; many well bred Irish horses came within this category of dis- tinctien. Roadsters, well bred cover hacks, handsome golloways, saddle hacks, & c, made 35gs to 45gs ; and horses of full form and fine action, suitable for ladies'riding, & c, 65gs to 75gs; and neat, compact, weight- carrying cobs 25gs to 40gs; matched pairs of cobs for harness, and good trotters, lOOgs. Brood mares, year- quence of harvest being much earlier than last year, there wered _ never better prospects of good partridge shooting.
