CbarleB Oakley again victrious at York, winning the Ebor Handicap ( the only race he advised upon for Y'jrk meeting) in the commonest of canters with his especial choice, Golden Pledge. Mauy of his sub- scribers, he has already the gratification of knowing, he. ve realised good stakes. C. Oakley only hopes all his subscrioers and friends have won handsomely; certa'uly they had an opportunity of getting well on, as a fair remunerative price was always to be obtained about his clipper, the gallant Golden Pledge, who won easily, us C. Oakley pronounced he would. With respect to the great Doncaster event, which is now ap- proaching with great strides ( run Sept 16), THE ST LEGER. C. Oakley is determined his friends shall win a large stake on this im- portant and exciting race, truly an event on which his success year after year has been astonishing and unrivalled. He begs to state there is not the slightest change in his opinion and considers his selection especially good for investment, and does not hesitate to assert he never felt more confident of winning— and that easily, too— and strongly urges all who want to realise a capital stake to get on his choice at once. The horse he names to win is L- artieularly adapted to the Leger course— truly a Leger horse all over. O. Oakley may, en passant, state, that from late personal inspection, as well as from almost daily reports from the ani- mal's training quarters, he knows his champion is doing splendid work, going as strong as a lion, and will come to the post fit to run for a kingdom, aud moreover will have the assistance of one of the most ( if not the most) successful and accomplished horsemen of the day. The worthy and respected owner has backed his horse heavily, and C. Oakley well knows deems winning a certainty; in fact, all connected with the stable are on to a man, and fear no- thing in the race. Let all, then, invest freely, for certainly there never was a better opportunity of making money. C. Oaklev's success year after year, in predicting the winners of the various" important events is now so weli known throughout the length and breadth of the land, through the medium of this valuable journal, that it requires no idle puff on his part. Thousands can and would testify to the value of C G T— 3min 16Jsec. C. Oakley's advice. To all who want to make money on the Turf, he Evenband— Decidedly yon do. would impress on them the absolute necessity of having sound and re- i G H— Mr Barber, liable information ; for it may be truly asserted that without the assist- ance of an experienced, competent, and successful adviser, who is in a position to quickly learn the result of trials, if horses are doing good ANSWERS TURF. .

Such a system, if pursued, must lead to heavy loss and disappointment. G. Oakley will just further observe that it is only by Investing freely on the good things that are constantly occurring that a profit can be realised, and that a man can substantially increase his income. For sound, successful, and genuine information, then, apply to Charles Oakley. His terms are: To end of the season, 10s 6d ; any single race, 13 stamps. Address 52, Red Lion street, Holborn, London, W. C. N OT1CE.— C. OAKLEY begs respectfully to state that he will issue no advice on the Cesarewitch umil the weights are published, when he shall be prepared with a regular clipper or two at 50 to 100 to 1 for this the most important handicap of the year. Remember C. Oakley's constant success on this raee, and his triumphant victory last j ear with his especial choice, Hartingtou, positively sent his subscribers at 66 to 1 as soon as the weights appeared. C. Oakley, it is well known, stuck to Hartington through evil and good report, with undiminished confidence, up to the last moment. His subscribers and friends realised capital stakes. It was truly a glorious wiu for C. Oakley. i^_ OLDEN PLEDGE and OLDMINSTER.— " X Copy of circular sent out 25th July: Back Oldminster for the Wolverhampton Stakes and Golden Pledge for the Ebor Handicap. I'hey are sure to win.

Smith— It is not so stated in " Boxiana ;" they only fought for £ 500 a side. shippers of the United States constantly did in the war be- tween England and France; they have pretended one thing, and perpetrated, or tried to perpetrate, another. Having all their papers for a neutral port, their vessels have often sailed with the full intention of breaking the blockade of one of the Southern ports of the American States. Here is the dishonesty v, hich, in our opinion, deprives them of all claim to the protection of England. There is no pretence for saying that they may not carry, from one neutral port to another, articles which as between belligerent states are contraband of war, and sell them at the neutral port of destination. Had they done no more than this, we should have been prepares to assert that the whole power of England ought to have been uned to protect them in so doing. No belligerent has a right to interfere with any trade carried on be- tween two neutrals. That is a matter of law, clear beyond all dispute. But these persons have, out of the greed of gain, the passion for excessive profits, pretended to clear for a neutral port, with the intention of never touching at it, but of showing the clearance as a means of deception by which they hoped to evade a search and a capture, and so to get into the belligerent port, the object being by running the grtater risk to obtain the undivided profit. Had every vessel sent out from England gone straight to a neutral port, though on the borders of the American States, and there delivered its cargo, the warlike stores arriving at that place must then have cro- sed the frontier by land, and the United States troops must have prevented the transit from the neutral country into their own. But then the larger amount of profit would have belonged, as of course, to the land smugglers. This division of profits was just what was objected to, and to secure the profit in its entirety was what was wanted. No international law can prated such unlawful gambling; and wherever the fact of fraud is proved, the consequence of forfeiture cannot be made a ground of complaint. ^ GERMANY. A most curious scene is now passing in Germany. The Ger- mans have long demanded the reform of their Federal constitu- tion; they tried to cumpel it in 1818- 9, and they were put down with no slight amount of despotic cruelty. The proposer of re* . f rtn is now no longer a private citizen, who may be hanged or shot as a traitor, but is an emperor, the acknowledged legal head o- the oli German empire, and the de facto head of that empire t exists at this day. We cannot say much for the reforms proposed, but it is Something that they should be proposed by an emperor. The admission that any change in a popular sense, however small and inefficient that change may be, ought to be made, is what one would not have expected from an emperor, and especially from the Emperor of Austria. But we must do him the justice to say that he is agreeably dtceiv; i, g the hopes and fears entertained of him when he first came to t he throne. He was then deemed the stupidest and most bigoted of European sovereigns; so that despots hoped, and honest men feared everything. He has relieved himself from that belief. He has thrown oft'much of that influence which priests and priest- swayed women then exer- cised over him. The Italian campaign of 1859 must have taught him, as the advancing waves taught Canute, that emperors cannot always, in all things, have their own way, but must sub- mit to the force of circumstances. He was beaten then, very much because his Hungarian troops would not fight for him ; and though he has not done all that the Hungarians wish, nor all that they have a legal right to demand, tie is no longer the same savage and reckless tyrant that he was in the early part of his reign. The improvement is manifest, and if he can be brought fully to believe that the less he insists on the authority of an irresponsible despot the more will be obtain the unchallenged and unchallenge- able power of a great sovereign, the benefit to him and to the peoples under his sway will be great indeed. The folly of a different course is manifested by Frederick William of Prussia, who has ceased to be his rival, and who, if the matter was to be decided by personal merit alone ( without reference to the real greatness of Prussia itself) would sink to the condition of his subject. As to what the reforms proposed by the Emperor are, we enter- tain a poor opinion of them. They are little better than mere matters of detail. They may effect some changes in the Diet, changes as to the mode and form of representation of the dif- ferent German States there, but they will leave the power sub- stantially in the hands of the sovereigns, Imperial, Royal, and Serene, who now hold authority in Germany. One all- important principle not only has not been proposed for adoption, but would never be adopted by the Diet as it is now constituted, or as it may be constituted on the Emperor's suggestion, we mean the principle that each state shall absolutely regulate its own affairs, and that no intervention of any other state or states shall be al- lowed in case of any difference between sovereign aud people. Such a proper and praiseworthy principle will meet with no favour from a cluster of sovereigns.

Continental advices represent a general stagnation in the corn trade, at declining prices; and the state of business is no better at the other side of the Atlantic. The provincial markets have, with some excep- tions, been fairly supplied with Wheat, mostly new, the quality all round being good. The trade, like that in London, has been in a dull and unsettled state, but the decline submitted to has not been so heavy in all places. Other descriptions ut grain participated in the dulness at rather easier rates; and Floor has given way in accordance with the redaction made iu the value of Wheat. The arrivals of home grown grain and Flour at Mark- lane this week have been short, and the im- ports of all articles from foreign ports ( American barrel Flour ex- cepted) have been equally so. There was a poor attendance of buyers at Mark- lane this morning, and the Wheat trade ruled exceedingly " lan- guid at Monday's fall of 4s on English, and 2s per cjr on foreign ; and any pressure to sell must have been accompanied witti a furthi- r reduc- tion. Flour very heavy at Monday's decline of 4s per sack on the fop price of town- made, at Is on country marks, and Is on American bar- rels. Barley quiet, and Oats dull at a slight decline.

LONDON, SUNDAY, AUGUST 23. THE LORD WABPEX FRIGATE.— In anticipation of a portion of the hands now employed on the iron frigate Achilles, 6,000 tons, which is rapidly approaching completion at Chatham dockyard, being shortly released from that vessel, the massive oak framing for the new iron- ca3ed frigate Lord Warden has been deposited alongside No. 7 slip, on which the new frigate is to be built. The construction of that vessel will be commenced as soon as the dock- yard resources will allow of the mechanics being employed on her. Like the Royal Oak, the last vessel built on the same slip, the L" rd Warden will be constructed almost entirely of foreign oak. Iu the construction of the Lord Warden several important improvement; will be effected by Mr Reed, from whose designs she is to be built. The plan of lessening the thickness of the armour- plating on the bow and the stern, hitherto adopted in this class of vessel, is to be discarded in the case of the Lord Warden, and the Admiralty have decided on encasing her in one uniform thickness of armour plates, so that she will have the same descrip- tion of plates on her stem as on her broadsides, the use to which it is intended to apply her rendering it most important that her bow should be caref lly protected and of enormous strength. Another important feature in the Lord Warden will be the placing of a powerful battery of guns at her bow, in which she will differ from all other vessels of war now aiioat. The battery will be so placed as to enable the guns to be fired straight ahead, while the solid, iron- plated bow will be cirried up sufficiently high to form a sort of tower, in which the guns will be placed. As the Lord Warden is designed to steam at least 13 knots an hour, this powerful bow battery will prove of the utmost value when chasing a hostile vessel. In order to support this addit ional weight thrown on the bow, the body of the frigate will be built out in a long pro- jecting prow, several feet below the water, and this will serve a twofold advantage— that of giving increased buoyancy to the frigate, and at the same time furnishing her with a most powerful means of destruction, the Lord Warden being, in this respect, different to every other vessel afloat. The extremity of the prow- will be furnished with a huge steel stem, shaped somewhat like a cleaver, and this formidable weapon will, it is confidently antici- cipated, cut c- irnpletely through a hostile ship when used as a ram, a=, from the enormous size and momentum of a vessel of the L: rd Warden's dimensions, one or, at the most, two blows would he sufficient to sink the largest vessel afloat. The ports in the new frigate will be more elevated above the water line, and the armour plating carried lower down than in any other vessel of the class, notwithstanding which provision is made for a high rate of speed. The Lords of the Admiralty have issued instructions for a second vessel, in all respects similar to the Lord Warden, to be immedi- ately commenced, and have decided on naming her the Lord Clyde. She will be built at Pembroke, at which establishment there is no similar vessel now in hand. THE VOLUNTEERS. LORD CLYDE.

Minimum bore - 451, maximum weight 9^ 1b, minimum pull of trigger 61b. Each gunmaker will have to bring six rifles of the same description and quality. The rifles will be tired from fixed mechanical rests; and the description of rifle that gives the best figure of merit will, as heretofore, be se- lected as the one with which the Queen's prize shall be competed for at the ensuing prize meeting of the association, subject to the conditions of the manufacturer undertaking to supply the number of rifles required by the council within a specified time, of their being in every respect equal to the one etiosen, and of the price not exceeding £ 15 per rifle. The mean figure of merit of all the rifles of each set that may be tried shall decide the position to be assigned to the particular description of rifle.

THE FUNERAL OF LORD CLYDE. — This distinguished commander, in accordance with his expressed w ishes, was to have been buried in a private and unostentatious manner at Kensal Green Cemetery this ( Saturday) morning, but at the express desire of her Ma- England, experience of his past history would have justified the choice of him as Commander- in- Chief in the Crimea; and afterwards, when real danger to the empire pressed, and when no traitorous wish not to injure too deeply the persons with whom we were at war influenced the head of the Ministry, Colin Campbell was chosen to fill that office. He was chosen ' to subdue the terrible mutinj- in India, and chosen he must have been on account of his pre- viouslndian reputation, for in the Crimea he had not been allowed the opportunity to show those qualities which in India he had of'en displayed. Necessity and the loud demand of public opinion forced him on the Ministers ; and his appointment satisfied the necessity and justified the choice. After enjoying for a few years the honors to which he was so well entitled, the gallant, thoughtful oid soldier has sunk to rest. To him the hearty tribute of the country's respect and affection is no longer valuable, but the people have the pleasurable consola- tion of recollecting that- it was they who compelled the due recog- nition of his long and distinguished services; and their wishes as to his burial place are not to be disregarded, for he will rest in Westminster Abbey amongst England's most glorious dead. NEUTRALITY— THE PETERHOF. The Peterhof case, tried at New York and tried at Croydon, leaves little doubt that what Goldsmith said has more truth in it than the admirers of commercial enterprise like to allow. The poet, though a man of humble birth, was aristocratic in his tastes and opinions, and so, when describing a state which had been great by virtue of its commercial success, but had not been re- markable for other virtues than those which tended to produce that success, exclaimed " And honor sinks where commerce long prevails." Knowing how much truth is often inevitably sacrificed to the necessities of rhyme and measure, we do not give this line an un- qualified support or an unqualified contradiction. There is much truth in it— there is also much error, and the inferences drawn from it in favour of aristocratic influences and of military rule are almost wholly erroneous.

The funeral procession was to leave Lord Clyde's residence, No. 10, Berkeley- square, at 11 o'clock. With few exceptions, invitations were only sent to those personal friends who have been attached to his staff at various periods, or who have served with him in different parts of the world, and this course lias been adopted in consequence of the great number of applications from persons who have expressed a desire to attend the funeral as mourners. DEATH OF SIR ANGUS CAMPBELL, BART.— We have to record the death of Sir Angus Campbell, Bart, who died on the 13th inst, at Dunstaffnage Castle, Argyllshire. The late baronet was the eldest son of Sir Donald Campbell, who obtained the baronetcy in 1836 for his civil services. He succeeded his father, who vas Lieutenant- Governor of Prince Edward's Island from 1847 t X). in the latter year. The late baronet entered the navy, arK -- tained the rank of lieutenant in 1849. He was unmarried,\ is succeeded in the baronetcy and estates in Argyllshire byh » next brother, Donald. The Campbells of this line are descended"" from Colin, first Earl of Argyll, and from him his descendants hold the hereditary title of Captains of the Royal Castle of Dun- staffnage. THE FLORIDA CONFEDERATE CRUISER.— A despatch from Liverpool of Thursday, Aug 20, says:—" The ship Eagle, from Ber- muda, has arrived here. Bke brings 79,304oz of silver bars. A steamer from Cork reports that last evening at five o'clock she saw the Confederate privateer Florida lying- to off the Tuscar, and at eight o'clock saw a Federal merchantman from Liverpool pro- ceeding towards the Tuscar." Another letter says:—" There has been much talk on ' Change and elsewhere in Liverpool to- day re- lative to the movements of the Confederate war steamer Florida. The ship Eagle, Ca;> t Norfolk, arrived here this morning from Bermuda with 75,> 01oz of silver. We have reason to believe that this silver was taken on board from the Florida, and that when the Federal - agents' in Liverpool heard of the arrival of the Eagle in the Mersey they immediately consulted an eminent law firm with the view of ascertaining whether or not the silver could be regained, supposing it to be captured Federal property. The su* jet: occupied the attention of the ' initiated' during the day, and many enthusiastic Southerners were for making good the re- tention of the supposed Confederate treasure at all hazards. As the day advanced, however, these enthusiastic gentlemen lost sight of this matter in the discussion of a more exciting theme, which may be summed up thus. Capt O'Toole, of the Falcon, re- ports that at 5: 30 p. m. yesterday he passed the Confederate steamer Florida, lying- to off Tuskar, and at 8: 30 p. m. a large American ship in full sail, outward bound, making for Tugkar Underwriters looked very black when this announcement wag made, and the Northerners were not very complimentary in their remarks relative to the United States navy, or very feeling iu their wishes as to the ultimate fate of the Florida. EXECUTIONS FOR MURDER.— Alfred Eldridge, a navvy, who had murdered a poor old man named Steed, near Maidstone, and Alfred Holden an artilleryman, who had killed his own child in a fit of delirium tremens, were both executed at Maidstone on Thursday. Each acknowledged the justice of his doom. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 16, 1863. FOREIGN" INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. An imperial decree has been published in Paris condemnatory of the bishops' letters on the elections, and declaring them an abuse of ecclesiastical authority, it being a fundamental maxim of French public law that the chief of the Church, and the Church itself, have control only over spiritual and not over temporal and civil affairs. A Fvcond warning has been given to the Gironde for the publication of an article criticising the Emperor's policy with regard to Poland, and asserting that he wished to avoid war at any price, and that the intended review on the 14th was counter- manded, not because of the hot weather, but from fear of popular manifestations expressive of a hostile sentiment to the imperial policy. A rumour, originating with the lndependance Beige, that, consequent upon the refusal of Austria and England to fol- low the Einperor Napoleon's policy on Polish affairs, a coolness has arisen between the Cabinet of the Tuileries and those of Vienna and London, is entitled to very little credit. The offer of the Mexican crown to the archduke by the Assembly of Notables, who are the mere nominees of General Forey, supported by the earnest approval of the Emperor himself, pleases Austria. ITALY. Letters received from Rome announce thatCardinal Antonellihas again tendered his resignation. It is said that Cardinal Alfleri will be his successor. There has been a very stupid as well as barbarous duel at Trapani, in Sicily, between the Editor of the Caprera and some officer of the Italian army, on account of the former having stated that the wound inflicted on Garibaldi at Aspromonte left an ineffaceable stigma on the Italian troops. No amount of duelling will disprove the statement, so that if the officers are wise they will not keep the subject alive in the memory and cen- sure of honourable men. POLAND. \ Many engagements have taken place with various results, but r on the whole the advantage has been with the Poles, In one in- 4 " ' ance the Russians lost in the palatinate of Lublin 200 killed, 110 .^ soners, and 200,000 roubles. The Russian papers admit this „ ss ; so they do another victory by the Poles in the wood of Tir- jinsk, where two cannon and some treasure were captured, but they charge, in this instance, the officer in command of the Rus- sian troops with treachery. RUSSIA. According to news from St Petersburg, via Berlin, the Bank of Kussia has stopped payment in imperials, and now only changes its notes for silver and drafts on London. GERMANY. Out of the 35 States of which the Germanic Confederation con- sists, 32 have responded to the appeal of Francis Joseph. Prussia, Denmark, and Lippe- Detmold decline with thanks. The Con- gress of Sovereigns at Frankfort was opened on Monday by a speech of the Emperor of Austria. He explained his project, which is conservative of all dynastic rights. He then added :— " Let us endeavour to come speedily to an understanding on the details in reason of the incalculable importance of the whole. Moreover, above all things let us maintain her place to powerful Prussia. Let us hope that, with God's blessing, the example of our union will exercise a victorious influence upon all German hearts; but I shall al ways have the personal satisfaction of having had constantly in view, at so critical an epoch, the strengthening of the national bonds which unite the Germans, endeavouring, at the same time, to elevate the German Confederation as much as possible, of which we are acompact body." The second Conference of the Sovereigns was held on the same evening. The following is given as an authentic analysis of the project of Federal re- form:—" The executive power of the Confederation would be Austria, Prussia, and Bavaria, and two of the Princes who send troops to the 8th, 9th, and 10th corps of the Federal army. The de- fensive character of the Confederation would remain intact. To the Directory, which would be presided over by Austria, would be added, as a purely Federal organ, a Federal Council, also presided over by Austria. An assembly of delegates would be formed, con- sisting of 300 deputies, two- thirds of which would be selected by the Elective Chambers of the various States, and the remaining third by the Upper Chambers. This assembly would be in office for three years. It would be the legislative assembly of the Con- federation ; it would fix the Federal estimates ( budget), trace the fundamental lines for the special legislation of the German States, in so far as it concerns the press, the right of assemblage, the pri- vileges of domicile, the execution of judicial sentences, emigra- tion, and all Federal affairs constitutionally placed under the competency of the Confederation. A simple majority would suf- fice for the decisions of the Directory, as also of the Federal Council, and of the Assembly of Delegates. At the close of the session all the Sovereigns would meet to examine the resolutions of the assemblies. The project also comprises the establishment of a supreme Federal tribunal.' 1 AMERICA. President Lincoln has officially proclaimed that if the enemy enslave or sell any one because of his colour the offence will be punished by retaliation upon the enemy's prisoners. For every Federal soldier killed in violation of the laws of warfare a rebel soldier will be executed ; and for every one enslaved or sold into slavery a rebel soldier will be placed at hard labour on public works, and kept at labour until the other be released, and receive the treatment due to prisoners of war. The ground given for the condemnation of the Peterlioff was, that " it was laden with con- traband of war with the knowledge of the owners. She was not truly destined to Matamor. is for the purpeses of commerce, within the authority and intendment of public law, but to some other place, both in aid, and for the use, of the enemy, and in violation ® f the law of nations. The ship's papers were simulated and false as to its real destination.'' It is said that both Lee and Meade have been largely reinforced, and a fresh battle is, therefore, ex- pected. MEXICO. La France asserts that the acceptance of the crown of Mexico by the Archduke Maximilian is not doubtful. La France also says that the present Government in Mexico will administer public affairs for a year to organise the country; but the consent of the Archduke will probably be forwarded to Mexico in the course of November next. The Government has sent instructions to Mexico, revoking the measures relative to the sequestration of the property of those who had taken up arms to oppose us, and cancelling the prohibition of the exportation of specie. The fol- lowing is the official proclamation of the Counoil of Notables in Mexico:—" 1st. The nation adopts a limited Monarchy te be hereditary, with a Catholic prince at its head. 2d. This prince shall be called Emperor. 3d. The Archduke Ferdinand Maxi- milian of Austria shall be requested to accept the crown. 4th. That in case for any reason he should not come to occupy the throne, the nation implores the Emperor Napoleon to designate or seleot some other Catholic prince, to whom the crown is hereby offered." A despatch received in Madrid from Mexico states that Cobos and Benavides, two of the Mexican chiefs, have agreed with ex- President Juarez to demand of the great powers that French intervention should be limited to the application of the treaty of London. INDIA. By the arrival of the Bombay mail we have advices from Bom- hay to July 24, and from Calcutta to July 13. The arrest at Ajmere of the man supposed to be Nana Sahib continues to oc- cupy public attention in India. An order went from Poona on the 10th July relieving Colonel Crawley of the command of the 6th Innisktllings, and appointing Colonel Prior as his successor. It was also intimated that Colonel Crawley was not to leave the presidency of Bombay without permission. Lord Elgin has been laid up with fever at Simla, but was convalescent at latest ^ stes. Th? Commander- in- Chief of Infe " in mve a standing catnp next CoM season either Lahore( Delhj. T* he ^ vern- ment of India has notified that those who formed the Hurrianah field force, and were present at the occupation of Jhujjur, will be allowed to share in the prize booty captured at Delhi and Jhujjur. The Governor- General has notified, according to article 5, section 48, of the military regulations, that military officers are strictly prohibited from taking any part in the management of banks in India, or from being connected with banks or any other trading companies, except as simple shareholders, the only exception to this rule being in favour of ex officio directors or secreta. ries of the Government banks. The cotton crops in the Madras Presidency have been much injured by the rains. Sir Robert Montgomery has been asked to retain office as Lieu- tenant- Governor of the Punjab for one year beyond the usual period. A military despatch from the Secretary of State to the Government of India has been published prohibiting the appoint- ment of officers to military commands in other than their own presidencies. Government has sanctioned the enlistment of men from the Punjab into the Native Regiments throughout India The number of Punjabees in anyone regiment is not to exceed one hundred men. The Dinapore scandal has ended by Colonel Burney gaining the case in the High Court, and recovering damages to the extent of 50,000 rupees. Lieutenant Hutchinson, Her Majesty's 23d R. W. F., and Ensign Kenny, Her Majesty's 27th Foot, have been tried by court- martial at Lucknow for com- mitting rape on two native women. The decision of the court has not yet been made public. The General Simpson, 1,121 tons, Cox- head commander, which sailed from Bombay on the 7th June bound to Liverpool, with cotton, was totally wrecked on the 19th idem on a coral reef on the north- west side of Chittae Island, lat 11- 40 N., long 72- 40 E., the northernmost of the Laccadives. The G- overnment of Bombay has despatched the steamer Semiramis, under the command of D. J. KenMelly, Esq, assistant dock master, to the Laccadive Islands, with provisions for the people • who are suffering from famine. On the 2d and 10th of July smart shocks of earthquake were experienced at Lahore. The direction was from north to south, and the duration full twenty seconds. Similar shocks have been experienced in other places in India, and on the 14th of July at Bombay at 10: 10 p. m., which lasted fif- teen seconds, Kurrachee has been visited with a vielent storm of rain and lightning. It lasted tw » hours. Nearly five inches of rain fell. Merchandise estimated at 1,400,000 rupees was de- stroyed. During a heavy fall of rain at Agra between 80 and 90 yards of the lower ramparts of the Agra Fort fell, and nearly filled the moat in the vicinity of the Ummer Singh Gate. The wall was thrown down by a thunderbolt. There had been heavy rain throughout the country during the fortnight preceding the'depar- ture of the mail, especially in the Punjab. The health of the town and island of Bombay had declined during the fortnight, and the mortality had been heavy. CHINA, JAPAN, AND MANILLA. The city is quiet. The Imperialists have attacked Nankin and captured the outworks. Intelligence from Japan announces that the Japanese have paid the indemnity. The Mikado had issued orders to expel foreigners and to close the ports. The loss of property caused by the earthquake at Manilla amounts to 40,000,000 dollars. 8 WITH FIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW FOE 1863 — This agricul- tural event will take place this year on Monday, December 7, and will continue open to the public for the four following days, ter- minating on Friday evening, the llth of that month, at 10 p. m.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. MUKDER AT LIVEEPOOL.— At Liverpool, on Tuesday, Jos6 Maria Alvarez, a Spanish sailor, was tried for murdering James Harrison on the 12th of May. He was also charged with felo- niously wounding one Henry Cohen, with intent to murder him. It appeared from the statement of the learned counsel for the pro- secution, and from the evidence of the witnesses called, that on the evening of the 12th of May, about a quarter past nine o'clock, the unfortunate deceased man, in company with two other men, named Cohen and Howell, was proceeding down Old Hall- street, in the direction of the Exchange. They had been together about a quarter of an hour in a public- house, and, according to the evi- dence of Cohen and Howell, they were perfectly sober. When nearly opposite Fazakerley- street they met the prisoner, and Cohen accidentally jostled against him. There was no pretence for saying that there was an assault on his part; it was purely accidental. So far from being intentional, or implying any wish to offend, the moment he had done it Cohen turned round and begged the prisoner's pardon. The prisoner said some words in Spanish, and immediately pulled out a dagger and stabbed Cohen twice— first in the breast, and afterwards, Cohen turning round to escape from him, he stabbed him again in the back. The prisoner then went across the street, and Harrison, the deceased man, im- mediately followed him. Harrison caught him somewhere near a breadshop kept by a person named Simpson, and then the pri- soner stabbed Harrison twice, inflicting two stab wounds, one of them mortal, in the belly. There could be no question that in this case Harrison was perfectly justified, because all he did it was his bounden duty to do. When he saw the offence which had been described committed on Cohen it was his duty, if possible, to arrest the offender, and therefore any act done to him in the execution of that duty was clearly unjustifiable on the part of the prisoner, and would be no defence to the charge of murder. Evi- dence having been given, the defence was set up, first, on the evi- dence, that the identity of the prisoner with the man who had stabbed the deceased hi dnot been satisfactorily established ; and, secondly, that all the circumstances of the original quarrel were probably not before the jury, and it was difficult to say how far the prisoner had been provoked before he used the knife he wore, and as a foreigner, ignorant of our language, he was probably not able to understand the conduct of the men who jostled him, or their apology.— The jury found the prisoner guilty of Murder, but recommended him to mercy on the ground that he did not understand the English language. He was sentenced to death, the learned judge advising him not to entertain any hopes of es- caping the full penalty. ANOTHER LIVERPOOL MURDER.— At Liverpool, on Tuesday, Benjamin Thomas, 24, was indicted for the murder of Mary Rowlands, the wife of a captain, at Liverpool. On the 8t. h of May- last the prisoner requested the deceased, with whom he lived, to follow him downstairs, as he wished to speak to her privately. Accordingly, the deceased went down into the cellar, but instead of the prisoner speaking to her, he dashed her brains out with a potato- crusher. A woman named Benbow, hearing a noise, went downstairs, when she also was furiously attacked by the prisoner. A woman named Evans likewise went downstairs, when the pri- soner chased her into the yard, and he was then taken into cus- tody. The only reason assigned for this brutal outrage is that the deceased woman wished to get Thomas shipped, as he had received an advance, and, in accordance with articles, was bound to go on board ship, or render himself liable to imprisonment,. The woman Benbow was dreadfully wounded about the head, and was for a long time in the Northern Hospital. Evans also sustained injuries from the violence of the prisoner, but they were of a less serious character. During the trial the prisoner at in- tervals broke out into fits of great violence, and it required the exertions of three or four turnkeys to keep him from scrambling over the side of the dock. The barristers in front of the dock fled to the right and left, evidently anticipating that their wigs might be sacrificed to the frenzy of the accused. At length the prisoner's legs being tied and his hands manacled, the proceedings went on with some degree of order. A surgeon who was examined, and who had seen Thomas in prison, said he believed that the prisoner was sane, though his brain appeared to be imperfectly developed. One of the turnkeys, who was called as a witness, said that the prisoner when in gaol frequently resisted the turnkeys with great violence. He particularly objected to the washing process. For the defence it was urged by Mr Pope that the prisoner, when he murdered Mrs Rowlands, was labouring under an insane impulse. The jury found the prisoner guilty of Murder, and he was sen- tenced to death in the usual form. CHARGE OF MURDER AT MANCHESTER.— At Liverpool, on Monday, Esau Wilcox, aged 16, was tried for the murder of Mary Cullen, at Manchester, on March 26. The prisoner, a stupid- looking youth, appeared to have been playing with some children and young girls in Barton- street, Liverpool- road, Manchester, on the evening of the 26th of March last, when he was ob- served to go to the light of a shop window and charge a pistol which he had. Shortly afterwards he was seen to advance towards a girl named Mary Cullen, who was about 16 years of age, and when about eight yards from her he pointed his hand towards her, and immediately a loud report was heard, and Mary Cullen fell. She was found to have a wound in the forehead, and was lifted up and carried to the infirmary, where she died six or seven hours after from the effects of a wound in the forehead, which had penetrated her skull and entered the brain. When she fell, a boy present said, " That was Esau Wilcox," to which the prisoner cried, " Hush !" The prisoner was observed to go towards an ash- pit near his father's house, and was afterwards taken into custody at his father's. On searching the ashpit a pistol, which appeared to have been recently discharged, was found there, and on search- ing the prisoner, some gunpowder and a leaden pellet were found in his waistcoat- pocket. A post- mortem examination of the de- ceased discovered that a small triangular piece of bone had been driven into the forehead, and a wound large enough to admit the surgeon's finger had been made in the substance of the brain. A very small piece of lead was found in the brain, but nothing which could have made such a wound. There did not appear to have been any motive to induce the prisoner to commit the offence charged, and'his lordship intimated to the learned counsel for the prisoner that he should confine himself to the charge of man- slaughter.— The defence urged was that there was no intention by the prisoner to injure any one, but that he had discharged the pistol in frolic, and that the paper wadding had probably in- flicted the wound. The boy was a quiet and inoffensive lad.— His lordship in summing up directed the jury that, if in their opinion the prisoner had fired the pistol with culpable negli- gence, that would constitute the offence of manslaughter, if his act had caused the death of the deceased. The wound probably might have been inflicted by something in the nature of a ramrod being left in the pistol, but of that there was no evidence.— The jury found the prisoner guilty of Manslaughter.— His lordship sentenced him to be imprisoned, with hard labour, for two calen- dar months. He did not think the circumstances of the case called for any severe punishment, and he thought he might well have been spared the pain of the charge of wilful murder which had been preferred against him.— We cannot quite agree in his lordship's remarks, and we think that were persons who play tricks with firearms to the killing or wounding of their fellow creatures heavily punished, " accidents,'' so called, from firearms would be far less frequent than they are at present. WIFE MURDER.— At Liverpool, on Wednesday, Aug 19, John Hughes was indicted for the murder of Mary, his wife, on the 28th of April. It appeared that the prisoner was a shoemaker by trade, but addicted to habits of intemperance, during which he had been accustomed to ill- use, abuse, and threaten the deceased, who was a sober, industrious woman, and conducted a small freengrocery business for the support of her husband and herself. he prisoner had been drinking excessively for several days prior to the 26th April last, when his wife refused to give him any more money. He then struck her, and said he would be " hanged for her yet." He continued his course of intemperance and ill- usage to the deceased daily up to the morning of the 28th of April, when he struck her on the back of her neck while she was asleep in an adjoining room. He struck her a second blow, which threw her oft the bed on to the floor. Me then jumped upon her and kicked : f. '" " T„ ii- i w^ s called in, and the deceased .. er several times severcij. - - J felled her, com- was found lying on the spot where the blow pletely paralysed. She lingered until the 30th of April, wiieS " llc died. Upon a post mortem examination it was found that the fifth cervical vertebrae had been dislocated and fractured, causing pres- sure upon the spinal cord, from which paralysis ensued. There were contusions and other marks of injury on the deceased from the prisoner's violence.— Mr Littler, for the defence, contended that the prisoner, having been drinking for some time, was in such a state of excitement that he had no deliberate intention to infiict the injuries he had done; and that the evidence of the man- ner of his violence was not satisfactorily established.— Mr Justice Blackburn having summed up, the jury, after a short delibera- tion, returned a verdict of Guilty, upon which the prisoner fainted. Sentence of death was passed upon him in the usual form. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.— At Liverpool, on Thurs- day, an action was brought by a Miss Barber, daughter of a cotton broker, at Broughton, near Manchester, against a Mr Fenton, son of a late member for Rochdale, and a banker, to recover compen- sation for a breach of promise. It seems at the time of the en- gagement the lady was only 17 years of age, and the marriage was postponed. The defendant, however, was very anxious that the marriage should take place, and it was first arranged to take place in the spring of 1862, and then in the autumn of 1862, against the wish of the defendant. During all this time the de- fendant was accustomed to pass much of his time at the house of Mr Gardner, the husband ef the plaintiff's sister, and no attention could be more devoted than he bestowed upon her. He continu- ally wrote to her. When absent on a little tour in Devonshire, his letters to her abounded in terms of affection. He afterwards went to Ireland, and whether he there met some lady who had won his affection he ( the learned counsel) cow Id not say, but it was a fact that on his return his attentions became less. Mrs Gardner was in the month of May last at Southport, and her sister was staying with her, and there some little differences between them came to a crisis. There, as would appear from the evidence of the plaintiff's sister, the defendant told her, to her utmost horror, that he had ceased to love her— nay, that lie never had loved her, and that marry her he would not," and he left her there under the deepest distress. Mrs Gardner wrote to him about the dreadful state in which her sister was placed. He promised to go and see hur, but from that time to the present she had never seen him again.— The defence was simply that there had been dif- ferences between them, that defendant felt he could not complete his engagement with any chance of happiness to either, and that it was best, under the circumstances, to act as he had done.— The ury found for the plaintiff. Damages—£ 3,000. ANOTHER MURDER AT LIVERPOOL.— On Thursday, at Liver- pool, James O'Brien, a tall young sailor, aged twenty- nix was indicted for the wilful murder'of Elizabeth Callaghan, on the 20th June last. The facts of the case were short and simple. Callaghan was a woman of ill repute, and O'Brien had visited her house. While he was asleep, Mather ( the girl with whern he was con- sorting) rose, took some money trom his pockets, and treated the other inmates of the house to drink. She took about six shillings, and on coming up- stairs again she found that, during her absence, four sovereigns had been taken out of the sailor's pocket. She then awoke O'Brien, who accused the landlady of robbing him. She denied that she knew anything of it; and O'Brien then took Mather with him to the police office, but. the pwlice declined to interfere. O'Brien then swore that he would have satisfaction of his own; and he subsequently purchased a sheath knife, went to the house of Callaghan, and plunged the knife into her stomach. The woman died almost immediately, and shortly afterwards the prisoner was himself arrested. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of wilful murder, and he was sentenced to death.

PEDESTRIANISM AT HACKNEY WICK. W. RICHARDS ( THE WELSHMAN) AND SPENCER OF HUDDERS- FIELD.— On Saturday , Aug 15, there was a good attendance of the metropolitans assembled on J. Baum's enclosed ground to witness the mile race between these pedestrians, for £ 20 a side. When the whole of the preliminaries had been adjusted, the com- petitors, who were in admirable condition, took up their respective positions, and on the signal being given dashed off, the start on the part of both being well effected. The struggle that ensued for supremacy proved a most exciting affair, the men, who went rattling along at a clipping pace, keeping so well together that when they went by the goal for the completion of the fourth lap they were not more than a yard or two apart. During the per- formance of the fifth and sixth round there were several efforts made on the part of the provincial to break from the too- close companionship of his opponent, but to no purpose, as Richards in all things proved quite capable of maintaining his position, and notwithstanding the fine spurts made by Spencer, would not allow him to get away. Thus, then, when the pedestrians passed the referee for the commencement of the seventh and last lap the men were well together, and dashing along at a swinging pace. As they drewnear the goal both gathered themselves up for the grand final eflort, and as they came bounding along the straight run in the struggle was replete with interest. Richards, who had wrested the front position from his man, was just a trifle in advance, and on the termination of the race went in a winner by two yards. There was also a quarter of a mile handicap, for a silver watch, confined exclusively to mere " branchers,'' so that without going into particulars of the running it will be sufficient to state in the final heat Riley proved the winner, Owens finishing second, and Wilkinson third. FIVE MILE RACE FOR THE CHAMPION'S BELT.— On Monday, Aug 17, there could not have been less than 2,000 admirers of pedestrianism assembled here to witness the race for theFiveMiles Champion Belt, valued at £ 50, and other money prizes, the successful competitor, besides taking the belt, receiving £ 6, the second best performer £ 4, third £ 2, and fourth £ 1. The belt, which is really a massive and handsome one, of elaborate work- manship andjsuitable design, was given for competition by the proprietor, and has to be maintained against all who may think proper to contend for it on the stipulated conditions for the space of twelve months, after which it becomes the winner's own private property. So that from this it will be seen there is a good deal of hard work yet to be done on the part of the present holder of this splendid trophy before he can look upon it as being entirely his own. The men had to make the circuit of the course 34 times, and notwithstanding there had been some tremendous rain during the afternoon, yet we never saw the ground in finer condition, the rain having had the beneficial effect of laying the dust, and making the running on the part of the competitors beautiful and easy. The race had been fixed for half- past six o'clock, and with military punctuality the following competitors made their ap- pearance, viz, W. Lang ( Ten Miles Champion), black; E. Mills ( Six Miles Champion), magenta; P. Stapleton ( One Mile Champion), light blue; R. Marsh of Brighton, blue stripes; W. Richards ( the Welshman), brown ; H. Andrews of Holbern. dark blue; B. Brunell of Hoxton, white and red; Toddy Ray of Limehouse, red. From the foregoing, it will be seep, there were eight competitors, who, under the super- intendence of W. Price, came to the starting mark, ^ lifch Was at I She bottom of ™ " rse in the back stretch. Tnfre pn resuit a goo* rteal of " bettiDg, Mill » , Staiilct:'."; and the three favourites; any price that liked to be asked might have been obtained about either of the othjrs who formed the field. When the " commander- in- chief" bad fairly got the men at the mark the signal was given. No sooner had the men darted off than the lead was taken by Richards ( the| Welsh man) cutting out the work at a splendid pace, Stapleton being second, Mills third, Lang fourth, Brunell fifth; then came Marsh and Andrews, with Toddy Ray, as usual, bringing up the rear, and thus they went by the goal in Indian file. During the performance of the first mile ( 4min 50sec) the match on the part of the competitors was sus- tained in a manner well worthy the fame and reputation of the " great guns" who had been brought together, but it would cut into too much space were we to describe all the various alterations that occurred in the " change ringing.'' As the men opened on the commencement of the eighth lap Siapleton had command of the team as leader, Brunell next, followed by Andrews, Mills, and Lang. Richards in the ninth round was run completely out, and had to retire ; Marsh, who had the misfortune to lose his shoe, following his example in the tenth lap, so that there were now only six left in the race. Two miles were run in 9min 55sec, and as the men went dashing along for the beginning of the third Lang had the advantage of the lead, Mills second, and the racing between these splendid champions was indeed a treat to all who are admirers of pace and action. Andrews, who was likewise, as is his custom, racing with the utmost perseverance, was third, Brunell fourth, Stapleton fifth. Ray was now getting lapped, and was only running on out of precaution to see that none of the foremost men " dropped" anything. Three miles were done in lomin 8sec, the first four miles being accomplished in 20min 20sec. As the competitors entered on the fifth and last mile of this magnificent struggle the interest of the match became en- tirely centred in the two leading men— Mills and Lang— who, not more than a yard apart, were nevertheless running well in advance of the others. The lead was maintained by Mills until going up the back stretch in the 34th and last lap, when Lang in a superb spurt wrested the lead from him, and on the completion of the distance went in a fine winner by 20 yards. Andrews, who was next to Mills, finished third, Brunell fourth, Stapleton fifth, and Ray last, the five miles by the winner being covered in 25min 15sec. The prizes were paid over to the respec- tive winners the same evening. HALF- MILE HANDICAP — Prior to the race for the Champion's Belt being decided, the winners of the preliminary heats for the above event, which had been run on the preceding Monday, Aug 10, came on the ground to runoff the final heat for the prizes, the first man receiving £ 3, second £ 1 10s, third 10s. The com- petitors were Riley 50 yards start, Wilkinson 88. Coe 90, Lake 90, Parker 90. The race was well contested, and finished by Riley going in a fine winner, Coe second, Parker third. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. THE ISLINGTON MURDER.— On Tuesday William Henry Clarke, 17, painter ( who was recently charged before a coroner's inquisi- tion with the murder of a little girl named Elizabeth Hunter, at some nursery- grounds kept by a Mr Roe, in Islington), was in- dicted for unlawfully and indecently assaulting three children, named Mary Ann Baxter, Charlotte Ann Lambert, and Sophia Allen. The prisoner was convicted for assaulting Baxter and Lambert, and acquitted of the assault on Allen.— The Common- Sergeant then sentenced him to two years' hard labour. NOVEL DEFENCE OF A FORGER.— On Wednesday Peter Rinaldi, a Swiss, was tried and convicted for forging, by means of photo- graphy, certain notes of the National Bank of Austria.— Mr Met- calfe, addressing the court, submitted there was no case. The clause of the act under which the prisoner was indicted clearly contemplated some kind of engraving on wood, stone, or some other material, which this was not. The words were, " engrave, or in any way make upon any plate whatsoever, or on any wood, stone, or other material,* any bill of exchange, promissory note, & c. The statute could not have contemplated a photographic im- pression, for when it was passed photography had riot been invented. Unlike an etching or an engraving on a copper plate, the impression taken by the witness Maguire was not of itself a thing from which a gulden note could be printed. The net must have had in view some plate or material with something upon it which was capable of being used in making an impression which would constitute a forgery. Again, the photographer did the very reverse of what the prisoner had instructed him to do— ho worked for the polite, not for the prisoner, and had made a pretty picture, but nothing more.— Mr Justice Keating ruled that the ciise must go to the jury.— Mr Metcalfe said, the intention being so manifest, he should decline to address the jury on the merits.— Mr Justice Keating, in summing up the evidence, said, in his opinion, the terms of the act of Parliament were wide enough to include that which was preliminary to the final process of forging n bill of exchango or note of the kind designated, and he told the jury that if they were of opinion that the prisoner did in any way make any plate whatever, of glass, or of any other material, and that he " die! so with a felonious intent to forge or counterfeit the currency of the Austrian dominions, they must find hitri guilty. — The jury, after a few minutes" consultation, and without leaving their box, returned a verdict of Guilt. v.— Sentence was deferred. MONTGOMERY BURGHS.— On Wednesday Mr Tracy, the Liberal candidate, was returned for the Montgomeryshire boroughs by a majority of 109 over Mr Pugh, the Conservative, PEDESTRIANISM AT BOW- Dixour AND SMITH.— These pedestrians met on Saturday, Aug 15, on C. Wilson's enclosed ground, the Olympia, Bow, to decide their mile race, for £ 10 a side, Dixon receiving 30 yards. The meeting was well attended, and in settling the preliminaries J. Jacques, the pedestrian, was chosen referee. All things being in readiness the competitors came to the mark, when Dixon was placed the allotted distance in advance. On the pistol being fired the men went oft' in good style, although from the commence- ment it, was apparent Smith had the turn of speed decidedly in his favour. When the first half mile had been accomplished he had gained fully 20 yards on his man, and despite the efforts of Dixon he continued as they drew nearer the goal to diminish the gap between them. At length Dixon had the lead wrested from him, and notwithstanding he ran gamely to the finish, still so far did Smith leave his opponent in the rear that he went in a clever winner by 15 yards, having completely outpaced his opponent. CHALLAS AND CORNISH.— These men also came on the ground to run a quarter of a mile, for £ 10, Chailas having to allow 20 yards. From the instant the men got oft the result was never for a moment in doubt, as the lead was maintained by Cornish from end to end, and he went in an easy winner. PEDESTRIANISM AT BROMPTON. On Saturday, Aug 15, Richardson of Gateshead and an amateur ran 120 yards at these grounds, for £ 10 After many false starts Richardson obtained a yard, which he gradually increased, and finally won by five yards, and was enthusiastically cheered by the north countrymen, a large number of whom were present. " The half- mile handicap did not coine off, from want of runners. On Monday the ground was numerously attended to witness the 440 yards race between Parrott and Boness, for £ 10. After one false start they dashed away, Parrott with the lead, of which Boness very soon dispossessed him, and made the running at a great pace, so much so, that at 3C0 yards he was leading by 20, when he gradually tired, and eventually fell from sheer exhaus- tion when 10 yards from home, Parrott, being at the time only two yards in his rear, thus becoming an unexpected winner. Time, 59sec. On Saturday, Aug 22, there will be a handicap for money prizes, distance 100 yards. On Saturday, Aug 29, the distance will be one mile. This giouud can be hired for pedestrian or cricket matches, on application to Mr Roberts.

MURPHY AND SAMPSON.— On Monday, Aug 17. there was a capital attendance on this ground to witness the 150 yards race between these men, for £ 5 a side. The betting was level, and Marks, the pedestrian, was chosen referee. The pedestrians had to start by mutual consent, and after several attempts they got well away. Murphy, who was much the quicker in making the break, having all the best of the start. The advantage of the lead was held by Murphy until the men had arrived within a few yards of the goal, when Sampson closed on his man, and in the opinion of many was the first to breast the cords; but, on the referee being appealed to for his decision, he, much to the surprise and disap- pointment of those vfho had backed Sampson, declared Murphy the winner, CRAWLEY ASD MATHEWS.—. These pedestrians likewise came on the ground to run 150 yards, for £ 5 a side, which was won by Crawley with the utmost eaae, hfc' taking the lead, and maintain- ing it throughout, PEDESTRIANISM AT IPSWICH.— A r& ther novel match took place at the Royal William Gardens, Ipswic. h, on Saturday, Aug 15. i Four brothers named John Andrews, agi d 30; Michael Andrews, aged 27; Thos. Andrews, aged 25; and M. ijor Andrews, aged 22, undertook, for a wager of £ 20, to walk 24 miles in four hours, each man to walk about one hour. The fait was accomplished, the men having 9min to spare. The brothers are butchers, re- siding at Sudbury, and are open to walk any other four brothers in England. PIGEON SHOOTING. GREAT CHAMPION RACK AT BOW ON MONDAY.— LANG AND ANDREWS.— On Monday, Aug 24, the third contest for the Prince of Wales Challenge Cup of four miles will be decided at the Olympia Grounds, adjoining the Bow station of the North L © n- , , don Railway.

BROMPTON.— These grounds, which have now become the favourite placeof resortamong. sportsmen,. were largely attended on Saturday j Aug 15, to shoot off several handicaps, both at pigeons and sparrow^'.

Smith, Tee, A A., Ste- venson, Baron, Yottng, B." own, Boxhall, Biddlecomb, Johnson, & c. The two former tied, bringing to grief all their birds. They shot the tie off, and, after isome excellent shooting on both sides, CHESS PROBLEM. CHES&. No, 415. BLACK. By H. Turton, Esq. on the day of the _ _ second occasion won by the game Harry Andrews, the present " holder ;" who has been challenged by " the celebrated William Lang, and next Monday's contest is the result. Whatever may be the issue, it should be made known that this will be the first ap- pearance of the " Middlesborough Wonder" at the famed Bow grounds; and even only to see the " Speedy Crowcatcher" run is worth a journey to witness. As may be imagined, Lang is a great favourite ; but. the running of late of Andrews and his well- known lasting qualities are such as leave it anything but a " moral'' but that he pushes his opponent very close, and great a " pot" as Lang may be, many such " pots have boiled over'' before now. more especially if'the great champion should be a " little off" from his recent victories. The improvement of An- drews's running, who, although called old, is still a young man, has gained him friends, who will take the odd's as to his time against the 12, 10, and five miles champion, and lay the odds that the Holborn man goes the distance. At all events it will be a most interesting race to see. Lang has arrived, and will hold his levees at Jesse Smith's till the morning of the race. Andrews has been indefatigable as to his training, is well, and with true mo- desty speaks hopefully of his chance on Monday. The start will take place at six o'clock on Monday evening, Aug 24, a time ta suit all parties who may have other engagements. Notwithstand- ing that Lang appears the entrance will be 6d, and Jem Pudney, the manager, has made every preparation for his patrons.

It seems he was quite un- acquainted with the management of a boat, and in steering round a sharp angle in the river called Horse Shoe Point, had gene too. close to the bank, and it is supposed the nose of the boat must have been carried by the current, which is there very rapid, against the corner, and so been overturned. The coroner summed up, and remarked upon the deplorable results of the recklessness with v, hich young men, ignorant of the management of boats, conducted themselves on the water. The jury returned a verdict " That the deceased was drowned in the River Lea by the up- setting of a boat which he was steering.'' ATTEMPT TO BURN A CHURCH AT GODALMING.— A young man named Arthur Hackman, a warehouseman, has been re- manded at Godalming on suspicion of having attempted to burn the church of St Peter, at Godalming.

No cause can be alleged for the act, and the prisoner himself denies it, accounting for the- paper being torn from his wall by saying he took it to wrap uj> some food for a tramp who had begged of him on Sunday.

FATAL BOAT ACCIDENT.- On Monday an inquest was held a the Rose and Crown, Kew, on the body of Edward Thomas Embleton, a member of the West London Rowing Club, who was drowned at Kew Regatta on Saturday.— Mr Henry Embleton wa called, and having identified the body as that of his brother, said that on Saturday last he and Mr Bayment started for the pair- oared outrigged ' gig race, steered by his brother, at the Kew Re- gatta. The water was exceedingly rough, and they had not pro- ceeded far before the opposing boat fouled them, upon which the » . npire started them afresh, and Slney had not gone above a hun- dred yards when the boat filled with water and went down. He told his brother, who could notswirn, to jump clear of the boat to avoid being sucked down with her, and he would try to save him. This he did, and held him up for some time, but unfortu- nately he was separated from him, and his brother was drowned. He attributed his death solely to the fact of the boat sinking. A gentlt man stepped forward, and remarked that although he did it reluctantly, he merely wished to inform the eourt that neither the umpire nor his men had taken proper steps to save the unfor- tunate young man.— The Coroner observed that he could not hear any such evidence; it was no part, of his duty to inquire whether proper means hid been resorted to to save this young man's life; .. * • .1 . ^ • I.

BETTING AT TATTERS ALL'S. MONDAY, AUG 17.— Owing to the departure of most of the members by the afternoon train to York, the Subscription Boom was almost entirely deserted before five o'clock, and the attendance throughout the afternoon was but moderate. Settling occupied the attention of those present almost to the exclusion of further speculation. The betting ou the Ebor Handicap was far from animated, and the only noticeable feature was the " knocking out" to 50 to 1 of the actual winner— Golden Pledge— on the strength of a report that he was about to change owners, and would not start. Clarior remained firm at 5 to 1, and Bellman, Piccador, and Carisbrook were in nearly equal demand at about two points more. The Monk, after having been backed at 10 to 1, went back to 100 to 8. which price might have been had at the close. There was scarcely any betting on the Leger, but for money Lord Cli fden was as good a favourite as anything, although nominally The Ranger was still at the head of the poll at 5 to 1, the prices of Lord St Vincent's colt and Queen Bertha being 6 to 1. The only other backed was Avenger, about whom 9 to 1 was taken to a small amount. The following is the scanty list of quotations we were enabled to compile at the close of the proceedings.

CRICKET— SURREY V ENGLAND, & C. NARROW ESCAPE or THE RANGER.— The St Leger favourite narrowly escaped an accident on Saturday, August 15, on the rail- way between Balham and Croydon. It appears that one of the railway arches having sunk some inches, caught a portion of the horse- box in which The Ranger was travelling, and tore it away. Fortunately, however, the horse was on the other side, and thus he proceeded on his way to fulfil his York engagements uninjured. T. Jennings has sold Indolence to go to Bohemia. Lord Vivian has sold Sabreur to go to Hungary. Zelinda, 2 yrs, was given away at Wolverhampton last week. Glasgow, 2 yrs, has been added to the list of geldings. The Duke of Beaufort has disposed of Doncaster to Mr F. Row- lands for 300gs. The yearling filly by Nutbourne out of Tiara's dam ha3 joined Mr H. Goatei" s string. Narbonne, 2 yrs, was purchased by Mr Mellon for lOOgs last week at Lewes, and goes into Reeves's stable. SALE OF THE EASBY STUD.— This stud will be sold on Monday next at Easby Abbey. Lisette, 3 yrs, and Adonbec ( brother to El Hakim), 4 yrs, have arrived at Elliott's stable. Mr J. Godding has recently purchased, for a good sum, the two year old colt by Muscovite out of Fitz- Eva's dam. Caracole, 5 yrs, lias left Cliff's stable, having been disposed of a few days since for £ 7 10s! Zuleika, 4 yrs, has arrived at Peace's stables to be trained for her autumn engagements; and the two year old colt by Fazzo- Ietto out of Staffordshire Nan has also joined his string. Mr T. Wadlow requests us to state that West End is struck out of tlie Oxfordshire Stakes. On Friday evening week Anthony Taylor, while driving out, was thrown from the vehicle, and fractured his arm. Captain Crow was sold after running in the Great Ebor Handi- cap for 500gs, to Mr T. Manning, of Manchester, and goes into Goodwin's stable. An offer of £ 700 was refused for Dunkeld after his race for the Queen's Plate at York. The following assumed name has been registered:— Mr J. A. Clifton; colours, blue body and scarlet cap. Ostentation, sold at York on Thursday, has gone into John Day's stable. The French filly Valentine, 3 yrs, broke her thigh while running at Brussels last week, and was ultimately destroyed. Mr B. Hornby's colt by Turnus out of Rosy Morn is sold to Lord Uxbridge, with his engagements. Changeable, 2 yrs, who was sold at auction for 135 guineas at York, after winning the Lottery Stakes, was resold for 150 guineas. O wing to the Tollbridge Races being extended to two days, the Maidstone Meeting will take place on the 18th September, instead of the 23d. LINCOLN AUTUMN MEETING.— An excellent programme of this meeting, including the Grand National Autumn Steeple Chase and two hurdle races, will be found advertised in our front page. LANARK MEETING.— It will he seen from an advertisement in our front page that all the handicaps at Lanark close oa Tues- day next. The Tara Hall ( county Meatli) Steeple Chases will take place on the 28th and 29th September; and Ardee ( county Louth) on the Hch and 15th October. LICHFIELD RACES — It will be seen on reference to our adver- tising columns that some stakes close at this meetiug on Tues- day next. Mr Robson lias sold his yearling colt by Leamington out of Tourist's dam to Mr J. Day for 350gs, and taken 10,000 to 100 about him for the Derby. The yearling filly by Ventre St Gris out of Margaret, and the yearling filly by Monarque out of Mademoiselle de Chantilly are dead. DONCASTER, 1863.— Duke of St Albans's Cceur de Lion against Mr John Osborne's Prince Arthur, both two year olds; 8st 101b each, 300, 100 ft; T. Y. C. NEW MATCH.— Duke of St Albans's Cceur de Lion, 2 vrs, agst Mr J. Osborne's Prince Arthur, 2 yrs, 8st 101b each, 300, 100 ft, T. Y. C., at the ensuing Doncaster meeting. Robert Sherwood of Epsom has been engaged to go out to China « s private trainer, and will shortly sail from Southampton, taking with him the following celebrated horses:— Buckstone, 4 yrs, Investment, 4 yrs, and Millionaire, aged. Whilst riding in a trial on Saturday week at Middleham, Aldcroft's horse fell, and Doyle and Bates, who were also riding In the trial, fell over liim; fortunately, however, no material injury was sustained. REVIVAL OF THE FAT BUCK STAKES AT DERBY.— After a lapsus of more than a quarter of a century, the Fat Buck Stakes, at the instance of the Marquis of Hastings, will be revived at the forthcoming Derby Meeting. For particulars see advertisement. Mr Beaumont has disposed of Golden Pledge for l, 200gs. The sale was completed on Monday last, at York, and the horse was transferred to H. Goater's care on the following day. ENNIS RACES.— This splendid running ground, after a number of years, is about to be again brought into requisition. The col- lections have been successful, and the races will take place after Oashel. Bedford and Coventry Races having been fixed to take place on the same days, to the manifest injury of both, an arrangement has been come to by each meeting changing a day, Bedford taking place on Wednesday and Thursday, the 7th and 8th October, and Coventry Monday and Tuesday, the 5th and 6th. RICHMOND RACES, 1863.— Richmond Races will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept 22 and 23. The Richmond Cup, the Belsay Castle Nursery, and Her Majesty's Plate of lOOgs, for mares only, close and name on Tuesday next, the 25th. For fur- ther and full particulars see advertisement. The Isle of Thanet Races will take place September 15, under the patronage of the Right Hon Viscount Palmerston, K. C. B., and E. H. Knatchbull Hugessen, Esq, M. P.

Sheridan, Esq, M. P., and F. Holroyd, Esq. For further particulai' 3 see advertisement. THE STOCKTON CUP.— This cup ( the Goodwood Cup of the North), to be run for next week, has been manufactured by Messrs E. and E. Emanuel, of Portsmouth, and is one of the handsomest pieces of race plate we have seen of late. It is a group in silver, the subject being taken from Sir Walter Scott's novel of Ivankoe— the meeting of De Bracy and the Lady Rowena—" He stood a moment most irresolute; then, stepping forward, took her palfrey by the rein, and bent his knee before her." The design and mo- delling are by Mr H. Hall, a young and rising artist, and we can only say that this oh jet Wart reflects the highest credit, both on him and the firm that, produced it. CECIL'S HUNTING TOURS.— We are pleased to find that the very popular reception awarded to our correspondent's labours has stimulated him to prepare the results for republication in a volume. In liis circular he says, " encouraged by the kind recep- tion his hunting tours have been favoured with in Bell's Life, he proposes revising and publishing them in a volume. To the original tours will be added a list of the celebrated sires which have contributed to bring the foxhound to his present state of ex- cellence." This addition, so admirably adapted to the publication about to be issued, has met with the cordial favour and assistance of the most noted hound breeders ; and to all masters of hounds, huntsmen, and sportsmen, who take an interest in the successful production of the elements which are indispensable to their amusement and tlie promotion of our favourite national pastime, it will be of inestimable value, and replete with interest. The work will be dedicated to the Earl of Yarborough, whose ancestors have heen in lineal succession masters of foxhounds during the period of more than a century and a half. It will be illustrated, and is to be published by subscription, at 10s 6d each volume. The list is already supported by the names of numerous masters of hounds, noblemen, and sportsmen of the highest caste, and we are assured it will be very greatly augmented. THE LATE YORK, AltfD FORTHCOMING STOCKTON, EGHAM, AND 0XE0SD MEETINGS. The York August Meeting, in despite of following so closely on to the heels of Goodwood, has been a truly great one, and quite equal to the expectations that were formed of it, for the many walks over were only what had been anticipated, and the gather- ing depended for its success on the amount of support given to the two and three year old races, the handicaps, and the Cup. These, as will be seen from the return, attracted a fair average of performers, the falls of rain that had visited Yorkshire during the fortnight preceding the meeting having put the course into such capital order for " going,'' that there was no excuse for a good horse's absence, and those who declined their engagements must be looked upon with some degree of suspicion. The excellence of the handicap for the Zetland Stakes, which opened the ball on Tuesday, was testified by eleven out of the dozen entered putting in an appearance, and the whole body were » with but two or three exceptions, of a good class, the lot inclu- ding Ladj' of Coverliam, a two year old of J. Osborne's, who had been out on several occasions previously, but never distinguished herself more than in this instance, as to travel the mile was a very fair performance, considering she was meeting the winner, Don- caster, with the worst of the weights, and had little advantage over a good " miler'' like Erin go Bragh, whom she beat for second place; besides, had Carroll been strong enough to help her home, she might just about have won, having the best of the race at the half- distance. Of the unplaced lot, Ophelia ran a great mare, looking at her steadier of 9st 51b, for she was as good as Anonyma— who had but 8st 71b— at the finish, although the latter evidently did not run up to her old form, for which the fact of Aldcroft being unable to get through liis horses below the distance is not asu fficient excuse, as she got right to the front once afterwards. E111 re met, who was second in the Stewards' Cup, ran fast for three parts of the distance, which made her party very sanguine about carrying off the great two year old event of the week, the Convivial, with Appenine, a good- looking colt b>' VVeatherbit out of Rosati, who had figured in pub- lic but once before, when he ran third and last to Livingstone, at Liverpool, in a half mile spin. It was whispered that he was equal to The Clown; consequently, when meeting Durham, King George, the Phemy filly, Coast Guard, Roseneath, Lord Adol- phus, Tarlatan, and Hymettus, with from 31b to 101b the best of the weights ( all but the last- named having been out before), and hi ernaining opponents comprising Harvest Mell ( a stable com- pan n), Achilles ( dark), and Claremont, it was not surprising he shou. have been backed almost against the field, Achilles is a colt by Mildew out of Extacy, of some promise, in the French in- terest; and Hymettus, a colt at Fobert's, by Rataplan out of Honeydew ; but the public horses had the race to themselves, the weight telling at last upon both King George and Durham, who left Claremont, Appenine, and the filly by Wild Dayrell out of Phemy to finish the struggle, the trio running home neck- and- neck, with the crack second. The Phemy filly had been twice de- feated previously, having been second to the Sister to Wing at Epsom Spring, and a bad fourth for the Findon at Goodwood to Paris, from which it may be inferred the latter must have won had he attempted the journey. It also tells us that the form of Claremont will not win him a Derby, although it was a decided improvement on that in the July Stakes at Newmarket, where he was unplaced to Cainbuscan, Midnight Mass, Scottish Chief, and Becky Sharpe. His triumph proves J. Scott to have some fair two year olds, and that there is something better at Whitewall is pretty certain when the stable were afraid to back Claremont in the face of Apennine. even supposing the latter to be the equal of The Clown, for we showed last week Mr Barber's horse was but little better than Madame Walton. Blair Athol's absence there is some excuse for, as it is rumoured there is a " hitch" about where the Derby money has gone to, the stable not being on at all to their satisfaction ; and unless matters are squared up pleasantly he may not indulge his backers with a peep at him this season at all. The Burgundy introduced us for the first time this year to Lord Glasgow's four 3- ear old Mini6, the colt by Barbatus out of Brown Bess, who created no little sen- sation at the Newmarket First Spring Meeting of 1862, by beating Sir Joseph Hawley's supposed Derby crack, St Alexis, in a match. He has grown into a racing- like four year old, his " going'' being so much admired that his defeat of Harlequin was no sur- prise, and even had the latter not attempted to '• cut it" once or twice in the race we do not believe he could have won. The York- shire Oaks afforded no insight to the St. Leger, only one of the half dozencompetitorsbeingengaged therein— Bonny Bell— andslie was beaten so easily when in receipt of 7lb, from Miss Armstrong, that, great filly as the latter undoubtedly is when she takes it into her head to try, we cannot believe in her pretensions even tomeasure the stable crack Borealis, for she was only a length before Sauterelle, who is not within two stone of what a St Leger winner would be. It is true Marigold and Lady Augusta were among the beaten ones, but Lady Augusta's leg gave way, and Marigold was evi- dently " short of work.'' The Ranger was bold enough not to shirk the three year old Biennial, and when Early Purl and Trumps were the best on paper that he had to meet, it was not surprising 2 to 1 should have been freely laid on him in a two mile spin. The Eagle, a colt by Brother to Bird on the Wing out of Lady Milton, who was purchased by J. Scott when a foal, and made his clebut herein, was the best looking of his opponents, being a good- sized, useful gentleman of thestaying sort, if he had not the Whitewall polish on him; and to our thinking he troubled The Ranger more than many imagined, while four weeks' more work will do him quite as much good as it will Mr Savile's horse. At any rate the result made the St Leger appear more open than ever, unless Eagle is the good horse he looks, the latter making J. Scott's stable certainly the most formidable one that can send a representative to Doncaster from present appearances. The Ches- terfield was chiefly remarkable for the ridiculous example Dic- tator made of his ten opponents, of which a " coming outsider'' for the St Leger, Angelus, was one, and he did not figure so as to give his backers or the bookmakers any hope. As regards the other events on Tuesday it is only necessary to remark that the Black Duck Stakes were walked over for by a Young Melbourne filly of some promise belonging to Lord Glasgow. On Wednesday the ground became somewhat heavy after the first two or three races, a thin, penetrating rain having fallen all the morning ; but it did not stop many of the good things of the afternoon. Bertha, being on her own course— a T. Y. C. on the flat — and almost turned loose, running away with the Londesborough Cup, as she was bound to do in such company. Of the ten runners for the Two Year Old Biennial, Jeu des Mots ( a filly by King Tom out of Jeu d'Esprit), Mahometan ( a colt by Jordan" out of Biondella's dam), Dr Rooke ( a colt by The Cure out of Merry Bird), and Alice Fauconberg ( a filly by Lord Fauconberg out of Zoe) were debutantes ; but neither could obtain a p'ace, and all the four best public horses obtained the notice of the judge, Ap- penine being again second, with Prince Arthur a bad third, and the Phemy filly fourth, four lengths further behind Appenine than she was in the Convivial, which looks an improvement on the part of the latter at first sight. Nevertheless Linda, who was second to Paris at Goodwood, won with such ease that few besides Apennine persevered from the distance, and she is entitled to take rank as a first class two year old. The opinion was pretty gene- rally expressed that she had no right to be beaten at Goodwood after her second victory in the Filly Sapling Stakes ; but she was alwajs bound to beat Clairvoyante and La Belle Feronniere, and her only other opponent therein was the dark filly by Toxophilite out of Maid of Masham ; while the Biennial running of her and Apennine was only what might have been expected by those who looked at her running at Goodwood with the Pherny filly. The Rawcliffe Stakes upset all the calculations of those whe watched previous running, as the best performer, Procella, was absolutely last. She is evidently a rank jade ; but it was a still further sur- prise for Saragossa to beat Vanessa so easily, as when the pair ran second and third to Tarlatan at York their positions were reversed. The Prince of Wales's Stakes displayed that the good looks of Lord Glasgow's colt by Brother to Bird on the Wing had deceived the talents connected with his stable, as King George gave him 71b and another 71b beating, the improving Greenland running him very close for second place; and they must find something better at Tupgill to win the Derby with, as the son of Physalis, through the running of King George for the Convivial, is considerably behind Claremost and Apennine. The Ranger having taken a rest, Prince Le Boo had to carry the yellow jacket against Lord Glas- gow's vaunted Gameboy's dam colt for the Ebor St Leger, and he won so cleverly that, considering his backward condition, he will not be a bad ally for his lordship to fall back upon, if Light Bob should turn out 110 better at home than Clarior did in the Ebor Handicap, although we cannot look upon his chance of winning as a good one. The Ebor was fatal to the favourites as ever, The Monk figuring little better than Clarior, who was discovered after the race to be amiss. The result was a staggerer for a great many, who did not believe in Golden Pledge, after the knocking about he received, and the transfer into fresh hands, just on the eve of the race; however, he not only tried his best, but ran a better horse than ever he did in his old colours, and showed J. Osborne made no mistake when he tried him good enough for a Derby some time back. He was always good- looking enough for any encounter, and we know not where to look for a better investment in the St Leger. He would not be the first Ebor Handicap winner that brought off' the great race at Doncaster, and won quite as easily with his 6st as Warlock did with 5st 81b seven years ago. In the Queen's Plate Caller Ou, who looked " big," could not live with Dictator at the finish, the latter showing he has no lack of staying powers when he is in the humour to " go,'' and he is undoubtedly what they always thought of him on Middleham Moor— the best horse in England, " when he likes." On Thursday there were some interesting three year old con- tests, the Knavesmire Stakes still further showing the badness of Lord Glasgow's St Leger team, when Beauvale succumbed over his favourite distance to the moderate Cistercian, who was only third to Johnny Armstrong at Liverpool, whilst in receipt of 471b for the year, and was beaten a long way, later in the afternoon, for the Great Yorkshire Stakes. This was certainly the event of the meeting, when bringing together the St Leger crack, The Ranger, and the third horse for the Derby, Rapid Rhone, who had evidently been especially prepared for the encounter. Just previously, Macaroni had carried home his 71b penalty with the greatest ease for the Cup, and when two such horses as Clarissimus and Carbineer were behind him, the partisans of Rapid Rhone were quite justified in placing every confidence in the Yorkshire champion, as there was not more than 21b between him andMacaroni on the Derby Day. Nevertheless, the talents laid 2 to 1 freely on The Ranger, who rewarded their pluck by running home first, but only after a desperate struggle with Old Orange Girl and Rapid Rhone, the filly, who split the two, pr. ssing him so close, that the St Leger backers of the Whitewall stable were in ecstacies, as were also the opponents of the Findon horse, whom no one dared to assert won this race with anything to spare, what- ever might have been said of his Tuesday's performance. The Whitewall stable have now a true measurement of him through the Eagle and Old Orange Girl, and if Queen Bertha is so much the superior of the pair as it is asserted, the York form certainly points to J. Scott's lot and Golden Pledge as the best to stand on for the St Leger. The best of the four juve- niles contesting the Colt Sapling Stakes, Prince Arthur, had been beaten previously at the meeting, he running but a bad third to Linda and Apennine for the Eighth Biennial; still he had 31b the worst of the weights there, and one of his opponents, Roseneath, having shown no form in the Convivial, while the colt by Toxo- philite out of Senorita ran nowhere in the Chesterfield at New- market, he had only the dark Brindisi ( a good- looking colt by Rataplan out of Mistletoe, knocked down to Lord Stamford last year for 380 guineas) to beat, which he accomplished with ease, thus heralding the success of the stable in the Gimcrack with Coast Guard, who had unexpectedly beaten The Prince by a head at Beverley when in backward condition, and managed to finish a respectable fourth, with his 51b penalty, to Claremont, Apen- nine, and the Phemy filly, for the Convivial on Tuesday, with Durham and King George behind him. And yet the Ring made Eastminster ( who just beat Garotter at Reading) the better favo- rite, in the face of King George's easy defeat of the Marquis of Hastings's colt on Wednesday, which would give the Guard a good 71b advantage over Eastminster on paper. The result thus carried out public running to the letter, so far as the pair were concerned, although it was hardly expected that Syren would run the winner to a head, as at Liverpool she was only third to Lady Mary and Lord Adolplius ( considerably behind Coast Guard at home), and was beaten very easily by Fisherman's Daughter at Manchester— where she came out, however, with a great reputation, Fobert's stable having always been sweet on its half- sister to Tim Whifller, whose staying blood got her the mile so well. The unplaced lot consisted of Loafer, John Gully, and Mahometan, who had been in public before, and the " dark " colt by Van Galen out of Vacuna and Myrtilus ( a colt by Voltigeur out of Lady Vernon). The Tyro Stakes was a certainty on paper for Ostentation, who had run Lady of Cover- ham to a head at Ripon, while Moulsey on Tuesday was not good enough to compete with a wretched pair like Prairie Flower and Sledmere here; but the bulk of the money went on the loser, who was not good enough to carry out the intentions of the parties getting up the " good thing," and it is fortunate for Ostentation's rider that she won. The stable met with another reverse in the Nursery, where Harvest Mell— said to be but little worse than Apennine— was a great pot, and when he was compelled to succumb to a filly of Bangle's form, it seems palpable the " party'' was all abroad at York. J. Osborne's good luck stuck to him in the Aske Produce Stakes, which lie won with Dr. Rooke, who was bound to start the favourite ( despite his running " nowhere'' to Linda on Wednesday), when he did battle instead of Lord Adolphus, as Prescription's form had hitherto been only mode- rate, and neither the " dark" Revival ( by Newminster out of Qui Vive), nor the filly by Wild Dayrell out of Lady Lurewell, was so good looking. The Steckton Meeting, judging by the programme, has at- tained the highest amount of success that could ever have been thought possible, when it had to immediately follow such a busy meeting as York, the majority of the events in the bill of fare before us being rich enough to have obtained capital entries. Its ingredients are similar to those which make up the York list, the only difference being that the items are not so numerous, only nineteen having to be brought off during the three days; and these ought to attract plenty of horses when the added money alone amounts to nearly £ 1,300. The Stockton Tradesmen's Handicap, two miles, has an accept- ance of nineteen, and out of these Golden Pledge ( 3 yrs, 6st 91b), Trust ( 3 yrs, 6st lib), Brighton ( 4 yrs, 7st 31b), and Melrose ( 3 yrs, 5st 101b) all performed in the Ebor, Trust being the best of them, now that the Pledge has paid forfeit. Caller Ou ( 5 yrs, 9st2lb) and Bonny Breast Knot( 4yrs, 7stllb) also performed at'the York meeting, without showing any pretensions to contend with Trust,; and Change having 6st 71b to carry, we do not see much for him to fear beyond Comet ( 3 yrs, 6st). The Sixth Zetland Biennial, for three year olds, is fixed for the same day, and herein we notice the Comet ( 21b extra) again en- gaged, besides Old Orange Girl ( 101b extra), Gladstone ( 81b extra), Manfred ( 31b extra). Stockman ( 31b allowed), and Erin go Bragh ( 81b extra). The best of these comprise Stockman and Old Orange Girl, the former's pull in the weights rendering him very dangerous. The Cleveland Stakes, for two year olds, has a numerous entry, although the form of Saragossa is the best that has been displayed as yet by the lot we have seen out. The Harrjr Fowler Handicap, T. Y. C., is within the compass of the top weight, Johnny Armstrong ( 5 yrs, 9st71b), who gave Cister- cian so much weight at Liverpool; and next to him may be found the representative of J. Scott's stable, which includes Old Orange Girl and Ace of Clubs. For the Town Plate, half a mile, nothing is better treated than Little Pippin, Cellarius, and Southport; and Theobalda and Inverness cannot complain of their imposts for the Elton Juvenile Stakes, one of the minor items in the second day's list. On Wednesday the Great Northern St Leger will probably bring together Early Purl, Change, Borealis, Manfred, Miss Armstrong, and one or two others; and the contest between Bo- realis and Miss Armstrong will tell us how far the former's de- feat at Wolverhampton may be followed as " true running." If she can heat the Richmond filly over this distance she will see her old price in the market for the St Leger, none of the others standing a chance with the pair, on paper. The Hardwicke Stakes is the principal two year old event of the meeting, and among the five dozen entries the names of the colt by Stockwell out of Alma ( 51b extra). War Dance ( 81b al- lowed), Inverness ( lib allowed). Syren ( 51b allowed), Durham ( 51b extra), Apennine ( 81b allowed), Dr Rooke ( 51b extra), and Paris ( 51b extra), are to be found. It is very doubtful whether the two Derby horses ( Paris and the Alma colt) will perform, rich as the prize is; and we must look for the triumph of either Apennine or Syren, who have such an advantage in the weights, and ran creditably enough at York when meeting their victors on even terms. The Lambton Plate is a valuable two year old stake, which Prince Arthur ought to secure, the best of his opponents among the public horses being Saragossa, who has to perform 011 the first day. On Thursday there is the Middlesborough Handicap, one mile and a half, which will better suit The Monk ( 6 yrs, 7st) than did the Ebor, although Dictator ( 5 yrs, 9st 10lb) is now in such extra- ordinary form that he will be hard to shake off with all the weight; however, Newchurch ( 3 yrs, 5st lllb) :. neets him on 151b better terms than in the Chesterfield at York, and this ought to reverse their positions, although we doubt whether either can beat The Monk. " The Stockton Four Year Old Claret Stakes, two miles, is fortu- nate in boasting an entry that includes such as Ace of Clubs, Buckstone ( 71b extra), Zetland, Hartington, Grimston, and Pic- cador; and were Ace of Clubs, Hartington, and Zetland all to enter the lists it would be quite a Cup race ; but we doubt if more than the Ace of Clubs will show out of this lot, and he shall, at any rate, have our confidence. The Seventh Zetland Biennial is subject to the results of the previous two year old contests, but if Apennine's 81b allowance is not altered into a 41b penalty he will have very little to fear, and, even in the event of this supposition coming off, he will have a slight pull over Claremont. The other events completed it is impossible to analyse with any degree of safety, nearly all the lot engaged in the Stockton Cup Handicap having prior engagements to meet. The clashing of Stockton with E^ ham and Oxford, which meet ings will full) 7 occupy southern sportsmen from Tuesday t » Fri- day next, will prjve no bar to the success of either, and the two days at Egham will be quite an " out" for the metropolitans, with whom the meeting is deservedly popular. The half- dozen events completed of the bakers'dozen to come off have fair entries and acceptances, the King John Stakes, out of an entry of fifteen, boasting the names of the filly by Teddington out- of a Melbourne mare ( 31b extra), Lady Hylda ( 61b extra), Junius ( 51b allowed), Faith ( 31b extra), and the colt by Whimsical out of Glenmasson ( 31b allowed) among them. Lady Hylda and Faith have greatly distinguished themselves recently, and yet we doubt whether either is equal to the Teddington filly, who did two such good things at Chelmsford and Ipswich, having beaten the brother to Canace at the latter place. The Runnymede Handicap would not be a very difficult task for Libellous, were he in the humour, as the best of his opponents is Joco, who receives 351b for the three years. The Welter Handicap may be carried off by one of Mr Hughes's, and of the numerous lot handicapped for the Betting Stand Plate those who strike as us best in comprise The Gunner, Baliverne, and Spitfire Kitty. The Baron's Handicap, on the second day, is for two year olds, having twenty subscribers, and the weights have been well ad- justed, the most likely to have deceived the liandicapper being Farnhurst, 8st 61b. The Surrey and Middlesex Handicap, two miles and a distance, is too long a journey for most of the dozen accepting, and at 8st 101b Flirtation is certainly worthy of notice, looking at the company he has to meet. Many of the races in the Oxford programme, which is an ex- cellent one in all its details, are, of course, subject to the proceed- ings at Egham on Tuesday and Wednesday; and a very few remarks from us will suffice for the meeting. The Oxfordshire Stakes Handicap, two miles, has Aurelian, 5 yrs, 8st 121b, at the head of affairs, and if he can give the 121b to old Loiterer, he may carry the top weight home in triumph. The Prince of Wales Plate is a two year old race, with Faith the most formidable, despite her penalty; and the Trial is only a claiming affair. Neophyte being the best of the eight entered. The County Members' Plate is a handicap on the light scale, Queen of Trumps and Spicebox having a right to feel most satis- fied ; but with the Freeman's Plate the contrary is the case, and Manrico and Everlasting at 8st 61b and 7st 121b'look well in. There are five handicaps in Friday's list, all completed, and they have such tremendous entries that, pending the previous running of a great number that are engaged, we shall content ourselves with a reference to the Stratton Audley Nursery Handi- cap, wherein Fisherman's Daughter, Acolyte, Outpost, and Jane Shore are all deserving of consideration. DEATH OF ADMIRAL HARC0URT, The obituary of the past week records the decease of Admiral Oetavius Vernon Harcourt, at Swinton Park, Yorkshire, in the 70th year of his age. The name of this gentleman was for some years familiar to the turfite as the owner of a few race horses, and particularly for his success with one single strain of blood' which went far to make his colours famous. What Cobweb was to Lord Jersey Ellerdale was to Admiral Harcourt; but it is seldom that one man has had such a succession of good luck with so few shares in our great national lottery. The Admiral, as Captain Harcourt, came out mildly enough in 1811 with Arnagill, and for some seasons had never more than a horse or two in work. He won his first race over Richmond with this colt, and went on with him and such tackle as Sir Abstrupus, and one or two more, up to 1846, when he brought out Ellerdale, by Lanercost, her dam by Tomboy out of Tesane, by Whisker, a filly of his own breeding. The performances of this mare, who, with old Tommy Lye on her, began by win- ning the Gimcrack at York as a two year old, and finished her career in the Chester Cup as a six year old, are still fresh in the memories of many; while her account at the stud is still more remarkable. If she was almost the only runner the Admiral had during her day, he was well content to wait again for her produce, which came in this wise:— 1852. B f Ellermire, by Chanticleer ( winner of twenty races, and sold as a brood mare for 610gs). 1853. Br c Ellington, by The Flying Dutchman ( winner of the Derby). 1854. Br c Wardermarske, by Birdcatcher. 1855. Br f Gildermire, by The Flying Dutchman ( ran a dead heat for the Oaks, and sold as a brood mare for l, 260gs). 1856. Br f Summerside, by West Australian ( winner of the Oaks). 1857. Barren to Touchstone. 1858. Br c Ellerton, by The Flying Dutchman. 1859. Athleta, by Voltigeur ( sold as a yearling far 500gs). 1860. B c The Nugget, by YVest Australian ( sold as a yearling for l, 500gs). 1861. B c Harcourt, by Stockwell ( sold as a yearling for 550gs). The Admiral's own doings with this talented family terminated with Gildermire; or, at any rate, in the autumn of 1858 Summer- side, Ellermire, Eller, and another were sold in a lot to Lord Londesborough; the old mare Ellerdale, the last thoroughbred one the Admiral ever had, shortly following them to Grimston. She changed hands again on Lord Londesborough's decease, and died herself at Middle Park, Eltham, in the spring of 1861, in the possession of Mr Blenkiron, who did pretty well by such yearlings as The Nugget and Harcourt, when he gave l, 120gs for the dam, with the one at her side, and the other inside her. Ellerdale's produce have indeed been altogether quite as fortunate as they have been really goad It is seldom, fer instance, that a more moderate horse than Ellington ever won the Derby, although Mr Hargreaves did back him for a week or two before the race as if it was over, despite his very middling performance at Chester ; and he never pulled off another race after that mud- larking at Epsom. Then, but for a scramble at the Corner, Gover- ness must have beaten Gildermire in the first bout for the Oaks, and the much- vaunted Athleta has never yet fulfilled half that was promised for him. In a word, Admiral Harcourt as a racing man was one of those few favoured individuals who, with just a horse or two to depend upon, have contrived to achieve all that others have spent'fortunes in the vain endeavour to accomplish. He himself was never very prominent, and no doubt a deal of his success is attributable to the good management of T. Dawson, who had his horses at Mid- dleham, and the fine riding of Aldcroft, with whom the great things of the lilac jacket are also identified. The Admiral was a son of Doctor Vernon, the Archbishop of York, taking the name of Harcourt on coming into the estates of Lord Harcourt, while Swinton Park passed into his possession on his marriage to the widow of Mr W. Danby, the lord of Masham. Admiral Har- court ably discharged ail the duties of his position as a country gentleman, and bestowed large sums in the endowment of churches and in the building of schools and almshouses.

" TRYING IT ON."— Our attention has been drawn to the cir- cumstance of advertisements having appeared in the local papers during the early part of the week setting forth that" Nemo" would send " winners" each morning during the races from York. We need hardly say that the above advertisements did not emanate from " Nemo," the well- known Turf writer, whose signature was fraudulently adopted. Horses marked * are in the Derby, f in the Oaks, J in the Leger YORK AUGUST MEETING. Stewards : The Earl of Stamford, the Earl of Glasgow, and the Duke of Beaufort. Judge and Clerk of the Course : Mr Richard Johnson. Stakeholders and Keepers of the Match Book: Messrs Weatherby. Clerk of the Scales : Mr Manning. Starter : Mr T. Marshall. A distinguishing charm pervades the meetings in Yorkshire, a county that has been both truthfully and classically styled " the modern Epirus," for here the love of horse racing is pre- eminently in the ascendant, and to Yorkshire are we indebted for many of the leading celebrities of the Turf, whose exploits will endure throughout " all time." Tempting, however, as is the theme of " Yorkshire racing" and " Yorkshire racers," we must forbear allusion to the past and proceed at once to a review of the present August gathering, which, despite the counter- attractions of the Moors— this year possessing 110 ordinary attractions— com- menced under highly favourable circumstances. It were a mere truism to say that the " York August" was " big with the fate" of many a candidate for StLegerand Derby honours, for Marigold and Lady Augusta were about to fight their Oaks contest o'er again in the Yorkshire Oaks; the Convivial Stakes was likely to test further the merits of certain youngsters that have been out this season, and the North of England Biennial Stakes possessed more than average interest, affording, as it did, a further insightinto the capabilities of The Ranger for the Doncaster St Leger Then, again, in the Two Year Old " North Biennial," the public were to be gratified with another view of Linda, whom it was understood neither Paris nor Scottish Chief were likely to oppose; and the Prince of Wales's Stakes promised to bring out Lord Glas- gow's much- fancied Brother to Birdon the Wing colt, who, it will be remembered, was backed for some money for the Two Year Old Plate at the NewmarketFiistSpring Meeting, wherehe turned frac- tious, threw Aldcroft, and did not otherwise " perform." Further 011 the programme was enriched with the Rawcliffe Stakes and the Ebor St Leger, to say nothing of the attractions of the Ebor Handicap— of which further anon— and the " Cup" was to be con- tested by the Derby winner, Maccaroni, whose most dangerous antagonist " on paper" was Carbineer. In addition to the items already enumerated were the Nursery Plate, the Gimcrack, the Great Yorkshire Stakes, and the Knavesmire Stakes. How- ever, to quit the " preliminary," we proceed to the actual and practical business details of the meeting. There wasa goodly muster in the Subscription Room on Monday night, but the proceedings were of a desultory description, and very little business was transacted. Offers were made to take 1,000 to 200 about Clarior for the Ebor Handicap, and 7 to I was offered " bar one." For the St Leger 6 to 1 to 50 sovs was booked about Lord Clifden, and after 900 to 100 had been taken about Avenger a point more was offered. As usual, many fashionable parties were assembled in the neigh- bourhood. Lord Londesborough entertained a large party, and Sir William Milner, Mr Fox, the Hon R. Lawley, and many other notabilities, also dispensed their Yorkshire hospi- tality at their respective seats. Owing to the recent rains, the course was injrery good going order, and if the arrivals did not betoken a grefit accession of southern horses, the meeting at least gave token of being fully " up to the mark." Tuesday opened auspiciously as regarded the weather, and the card was crammed with twelve items, which being rather too much of a good thing for one day, no regret was expressed at four of them going off in walks over, it being duly acknowledged that " enough is as good as a feast." For the Zetland Stakes, which closed the night before, and for which, out of a dozen entered, eleven came to the post— 110 small compliment to the bandicapper— favouritism was awarded to Anonyma— as favouritism has been awarded many a time be- fore to the said name— but the inare, after running well for a time, stopped, as we thought from having been rather short of work, owing to a sore back, and Doncaster won rather cleverly at the finish from the two year old Lady of Coverliam. Sou- champ being an absentee, Miner walked over for the Juvenile Stakes, and the Young Melbourne filly performed the same feat for the Black Duck Stakes, which last year was non est in the pro- gramme. By some blunder, in nowise attributable to the " autho- rities," the number of Mr Merry's filly by Wild Dayrell out of Lady Lurewell— who was " coloured" on the card, but who was never weighed for— was hoisted, and some betting took place in consequence; the number of the latter was, however, speedily removed, and, as already narrated, Lord Glasgow's filly walked over. Touching the Black Duck Stakes— the only race of 1,000 sovs each— we may remark that it was originated in the days of old at the once famous sporting house, the Black Swan, popularly designated the " Black Duck." The Convivial Stakes produced a dozen runners, of whom Apennine, on the strength of a very high trial with Entremet, was made a hot favourite, but lie was bowled over by the White- wall representative, Claremont., a very good- looking colt— de- cidedly tlie pick of the lot— who displayed many fine racing points. The winner was tried on the previous Fri- day on the Knavesmire, but although he defeated four other youngsters— there being no old horse in the trial— it was not thought quite good enough by his party to put their trust in, the others having been but moderate performers in public. The start for this race we must note on the testimony of all who took part therein was a remarkably even one, the entirelot running nearly in a line for the first two hundred yards ; and we must further note i that Paris was " coloured" on the cards, although it was generally known he would be an absentee. After the race the winner was backed for some hundreds at 50 to 1 for the Derby, while against the " unplaced" and penalised Durham— the second favourite for the Convivial— as much as 1,000 to 15 was offered, and the latter ; odds were now offered against Apennine, although before the race 45 to 1 had been taken. 33 to 1 was also offered after the above ; event against Hollyfox, and 50 to 1 against Haphazard. Before the ! race, too, we may mention that Coast Guard was backed at j 1,000 to 15; afterwards he was " priceless." The Burgundy Stakes of 100 sovs each, eight subs, was reduced to a match with Minie and Harlequin, the latter at last having a slight call. The pair were evidently under " waiting" or- ders, and the pace for a long time alternated between a " don- key's gallop'' and a walk, the race at the finish being in favour of Lord Glasgow's colt by two lengths. Although only half a dozen put in an appearance for the Yorkshire Oaks, suffi- cient importance was attached to it from the meeting of Lady Augusta and Marigold; and so confident were the partisans of the former of reversing the Oaks running, that 7 to 4 was at last betted on Lady Augusta, Lord ; Stamford himself standing her for 2,000, while Marigold, opening at 5 to 2, receded to 6 to 1. The winner, however, iurned up in Miss Armstrong, a plain- looking filly, who defeated Bonny Bell, another plain- looking one, very cleverly by a length. Lady Augusta looked well and full of bloom, although the joints of her tore " under- standings" were suspicious. She was unable to go the pace or take any active part in the contest; and although she walked away apparently sound, it was discovered that her leg had given way, and the next morning the sinew had became considerably en- larged. Marigold was evidently not in her Oaks form, and Erythia could not stay. After the race, inquiries were made about Mr I'Anson's pair for the St Leger, and 25 to 1 was even- tually taken about Borealis, and 40 to 1 about Bonny Bell, while 15 to 1 was taken on the quiet about the two coupled. Of the moderate pair that contested the Sweepstakes of 100 sovs each, Bonny Breastknot, who got a maiden allowance, proved the j better of the two. This match brought to issue, five competitors were signalled to start for the Three Year Old Biennial Stakes, and The Ranger, as a matter of course, was made a warm favourite. He pulled his backers, who laid odds freely 011 liim, through by a length from the Whitewall nag, the Eagle; ; although the " talent" were somewhat divided in their opi- nion as to whether he won by a very " easy length" or not. Anyhow, directly after the race " Mr Jackson offered 4,000 to 1,000 : on the field for the St Leger, and although the odds were taken to a " monkey," the other moiety was unaccepted. Out of the one- : and- twenty coloured on the card, eleven did battle for the Clies- | terfield Handicap, Newchurch being voted first favourite. Bather unexpectedly, however, Colonel Towneley's colt had to succumb j to Dictator, who was complimented with the top weight of 9st51b ; | despite which impost, however, he won by six lengths, and proved himself what his trainer always thought him, and confirmed the opinion we have always expressed of him, that he was one of the best horses that ever ran when " in the vein," but he had hitherto as a rule only tried when he liked, and so disappointed his owner that he was determined to run him as often as possible to give him courage, his performance to day being in blinkers. Next came the Selling Stakes, which, though unimportant in itself, was productive of a dead heat with Sledmere and Prairie Flower. In the deciding heat the former— about whom 10 to 1 was obtain- able in the first spin— was the favourite at slight odds, and he very easily bowled over the filly by a couple of lengths. An ob- jection to the winner on the grounds of a cross was ultimately withdrawn, and he was bought in for 72 guineas. Sledmere was formerly in T. S. Dawson's stable, and was purchased last year by Mr J. Greaves, familiarly styled in the ring " the Giant," since which time he has been home trained. The Bramliam Park Stakes— numbering only 3 subs— went off in a walk over for Borealis, as did the Produce Stakes for Miss Armstrong. The wagering that took place on the course, including that already alluded to, and the later movements at night are recorded below The ZETLAND HANDICAP of 5 sovs each, with 50 added, for all ages; the second saved his stake; one mile; 12 subs.

Globule went in front immediately the flag fell, followed by Entremet and Lady of Coverham, with the others so closely packed that it was impossible to assign the position, save to Welcome, who figured lengths behind everything. On the retreat of Globule at about half a mile, the running was taken up by Entremet, but only for a little way, when she swerved, and Lady of Coverham took the command, those directly laid up with her being Ophelia on the inside, Erin go Bragh, Anonyma, and Doncaster to the half distance, where Lord de Freyne's filly died away. The favourite was also in difficulties soon after, while Doncaster making his effort at the Stand caught and headed the two year old in the last half dozen strides, and defeated her cleverly by a neck; the young one saving stakes a head over Erin go Bragh. Two or three lengths off Andnyma was succeeded by Entremet, at whose girths Michael Scott was sixth, Ophelia seventh, the Little Hannah filly eighth, Stampede ninth, Welcome last.

Midgeley Betting: 6 to 4 agst Apennine, 4 to 1 agst Durham, and 10 to 1 agst any other ( offered). Though nearly half an hour was occupied in attempts to get them off, the flag went down to only a middling start at last, Harvest Mell in the centre being first to show in advance, attended right and left by Durham, the favourite, King George, Coast Guard, and Achilles, the Phemy filly next the rails. In this way they ran to the distance, where Claremont, who got badly off, joined the front division, of whom Harvest Mell dropped away in a few strides, leaving Appenine and Mr Merry's filly in advance to the Stand, when Claremont challenged the pair, headed the favourite opposite the enclosure, and won cleverly by a neck; same distance between the second and third. Coast Guard was fourth, about two lengths off, with King George at his side. At twice that interval Durham was sixth, Harvest Mell and Tarlatan next, the last two being Lord Adolphus and Roseneath, with the exception of Hymettus, who walked in a long way behind the lot. Run in lmin 8sec. The BURGUNDY STAKES of 100 sovs each, h ft, for four year olds; colts 8st 101b, fillies 8st 61b; two miles; 3 subs.

The first quarter of a mile was a canter, the next a walk, after which there was more cantering to the mile post, when the pace improved, and became pretty fair to the T. Y. C. post, whence Lord Glasgow's colt waited to the Stand, took the lead, and won by two lengths. Run in 5inin 55sec. The YORKSHIRE OAKS of 15 sovs each, 5 ft, with 100 added, for three year old fillies, 8st 101b each; winners, & c, extra, with certain allowances; the second received 50 sovs out of the stakes, and the third saved her stake; one mile and a quarter ; 62 subs.

The latter took a strong lead directly the signal was given, the others, headed by Sauterelle, lying pretty well together, with the favourite whipping in for a quarter of a mile, when Marigold dropped into the rear. Except that Lord Stam- ford's filly again fell astern near the T. Y. C., there was 110 altera- tion until outside the distance, where Sauturelle compounded, and Bonny Bell took second place, but never reached Miss Armstrong, who, holding her own from end to end, won easily by a length, Saturelle finishing as far from the second, with the advantage of a neck over the favourite, who beat Marigold by the same ; Ery- thia tailed off.

Faiifaron, running in The Ranger interest, cut out the work with a tremendous lead, followed in the order named by the favourite, the Eagle and Trumps, well together, Early Purl going on clear of them. They ran thus to the wood side, whence the leader's advantage gradually declined, and dropping away at the distance he resigned the command to the St Leger crack, who stalled off the rush of the Eagle at the Stand, and defeated him cleverly by a length ; the third beaten for the " ten per cent" by the same.

There was no change until at lialf- a- mile Paddy dis- appeared from the front, while Fluke, also beating a retreat two distances from home, left the top weight in advance. In a few strides the favourite and Bertha became his attendants, but, like the remainder of the field, had no chance with the Spigot Lodge horse, who increased his advantage as he went 011 and won in a canter by six lengths; Bertha finishing nearly as far from Colonel Towneley's colt.

There was a tolerable muster in the subscription room, but no material change took place in the betting 011 the Ebor, the prin- cipal feature being the firmness of Clarior, and the advance of Carisbrook to 7 to 1, while Captain Crow became a better fa- vourite than his quondam stable companion, Golden Pledge, about whom there was a good deal of " mystification." Very little was done on the St Leger. but 4 to I was taken several times about The Ranger, and 1,100 to 200 was booked about Lord Clifden. For the Derby 2,000 to 120 was booked about Paris.

Nothing material beyond the advance- ment of The Monk for the Ebor Handicap took place during the morning at the Subscription Room, and in a steady persis- tent rain, which evidently meant " staying,'' a movement was made to the Knavesmire. Digressing slightly from our narrative we may here take occasion to remark that we have from time to time recorded in our columns the improvements lately effected at York, more especially at the Private Stand, which since the Spring fixture has been further improved and most tastefully de- corated, as though in compliment of the assemblage of " rare and radient" ladies that graced it during the present meeting. We may here, too, take occasion to acknowledge the courtesy and attention paid by the committee to the members of the press, as in addition to the usual accommodation a temporary covering was thrown over the balcony adjoining the Private Stand to- day, thus affording efficient shelter from the rain, which continued to descend steadily up to the time set for the Ebor Handicap, and rendering matters altogether anything but agreeable, as far as the enjoyment of the sport was concerned. Of the thirteen entered" and handicapped for the Londesborough Cup, three only— Doncaster, Ophelia, and Erythia, were non- starters, the former having changed owners, and been transferred from the Duke of Beaufort to Mr F. Rowlands, for 300 guineas. Bertha, who was favourably handicapped, and had no Dic- tator to meet to- day as in the Chesterfield, was supported freely at 5 to 2 and 2 to 1, and she disposed of the lot opposed to her without much difficulty. The Biennial Stakes, for two year olds, proved the good thing it looked for Linda, who has both good looks and staying qualities to recommend her, and she confirmed the high opinion her trainer entertained of her by the easy man- ner she defeated her nine rivals, after which, consequent upon the Goodwood running, 12 to 1 was the highest offer agst Paris for the Derby. It not being deemed advisable to pull out The Ranger for the Ebor St Leger, his stable companion, Prince Lee Boo, did duty for Mr Savile in his stead, but he proved no match for Lord Glasgow's Young Melbourne colt, who, with 7 to 4 betted on him, won very cleverly. The Rawcliffe Stakes brought out a quartette of comparatively moderate quality, of whom Procella was esteemed good enough to back at evens, Lord Stamford himself taking an even " monkey" in one bet about her; she was, however, the first beaten, and Saragossa, the " worst fa- vourite" of the lot, and who ran third for the Zetland Stakes at the Spring Meeting here, turned up the trump card. The betting on the Great Ebor Handicap— next set for decision— underwent some important changes during the afternoon, so that by the time the numbers of the eleven starters were displayed, The Monk had passed Clarior in the betting, and was now first favourite; Piccador, too, after the victory of Saragossa— the im- pression being that the stable was in form— advanced to 5 to 1, while both Carisbrook and Bellman receded to lOtol, at which price Golden Pledge was once more a better favourite than Cap- tain Crow. The uncertain position that Golden Pledge had oc- cupied in the market for the last few days was owing to his transfer, for Mr Beaumont on Monday, after some previous negotiations, " parted" with him to Mr H. Owen, and the " popular delusion'' for a time was that the horse would not run. He proved a cheap purchase enough at £ 1,200, for he won very easily, and landed his owner a good stake beside the " stakes." The race was, in fact, a very hollow affair, for Bellman and the winner made the pace so severe at the commencement that the old horses behind them were " chopped,'' and Bellman being disposed of. Golden Pledge had the race safe a mile from home. Thus the three first favourites were never in the race, while Clarior, for whom the affair was pronounced a a certainty, and the handicapper denounced accordingly when the weights first appeared, was in the rear nearly all the way, and it was afterwards found that he was coughing badly. The winner, who ran third for the Manchester Tradesman's Cup, won by Isoline, with Caller Ou second, had been tried with Captain Crow, and although the latter won his trial, and was backed by the friends of the stable for money, Golden Pledge proved himself the best " on the day," and his late trainer ex- pressed his opinion that it would be a near thing between them, although he stated shortly before the race that he fancied Golden Pledge would win, the ground being so much in his favour from the recent rain. The winner is rather a bad horse for the Ring, having been some time in the market, and backed for some money at 10 to 1 before the acceptances were declared. A pot on Sledmere was upset in the Lottery Stakes— for 2 to I was betted on him, although his owner could not " get on," but he was beaten by Changeable, who, from the contrary running on the two days, is fully deserving her name. Four out of the ten " coloured" came to the post for the Prince of Wales's Stakes, and Lord Glasgow's colt by Brother to Bird on the Wing— who, it will be remembered, was backed for some money for the Newmarket Two Year Old Plate, but, as already mentioned, threw Aldcroft at the post, and took no part in the race— was again made the favourite to- day, on his private repute, but he ran " unkindly," and King George, despite his 71b penalty, right easily beat the trio opposed to him. A very indifferent lot opposed Linda for the Filly Sapling Stakes, and she stalled them off as she liked, albeit it was her second appearance to- day. Her Majesty's Plate was a most exciting affair, consequent on the meeting of Dictator and Caller Ou, both of whom had a host of supporters, the horse, who showed such racing ability the day be- fore, having, however, the call. The latter again proved himself a great horse and beat the mare very easily. Of the other events, the Glasgow Stakes was a walk over for Mahometan, and the Hopeful Stakes for Newmarket. The attendance to- day was tolerably good, considering the unfavourable state of the weather, although it exhibited, as a matter of course, a decrease as com- pared with the muster 011 the first day, for shoals of visitors were kept away by the drenching rain.

With the exception of Little Pippin and The Orphan, all got away 011 fair terms after one or two failures, Merry Hart taking the lead, closely waited on by the favourite, who headed him in a few strides. They were succeeded by Cellarius and Topsy, the latter, however, soon showing in advance, but died off just before reaching the distance, whence Bertha ( always in- side) resumed the command, and won easily by three lengths. Cellarius, slightly disappointed at the bend, finished four lengths in front of Balderstone, who passed Lord Westmoreland's colt at the commencement of the enclosure, and beat him for third by a length. Anonyma was fifth, the Calliope colt sixth, the light weight seventh, David Ann next. Little Pippin last. Run in lmin 24sec.

After several false starts the lead was taken by Linda next the rails, fol- lowed by Apennine in the centre of the course, with the Phemy filly and Alice Fauconberg on the extreme right. The latter, however, fell back at about a quarter of a mile, the two giving way almost simultaneously with her being War Dance and Jeu des Mots. With respect to the others, only the favourite and Ap- ennine were in the race from the distance, and the former coming away at the finish won by twe lengths. Twice that difference divided the second and Prince Arthur, third, who going on to the end saved his stake half a length over Mr Merry's filly, close up with whom were Mahometan and Beatrice, Dr liooke next, Jeu des Mots last.

Bellman cut out the work, with Golden Pledge next, succeeded, two or three lengths off, by Melrose, Brighton, and Captain Crow, close up with whom were Carisbrook, Clarior, Piccador, and The Monk in a cluster, Oldminster and Trust, clear of them, bringing up the rear. Nearly a mile was traversed in this order, when Melrose dropped into the middle of the ruck, and be- came whipper- in soon aft erwards. The dropping away of Brighton, and an improvement in the positions of the top- weight and Trust, next arretted attention from the commencement of the wood, half way along which Bellman disappeared from the front, leav- ing Golden Pledge in command. The pace, pretty good at first, had now become clipping, so much so that, after reaching the Middletliorpe turn, tile field presented quite a scattered appear- ance, Captain Crow lying second, Oldminster third, The Monk fourth, Trust, Clarior, and Piccador fiext, the last- mentioned pair at this point being hopelessly beaten, without ever once showing prominently in the race. Upon the retirement also of Captain Crow, nearthe I\ Y. C post, Old mi nster, folio wed by the favourite and Trust, was left in direct pursuit of Golden Pledge, who, increasing his lead as he went on, had at least an advantage of half a dozen lengths when, at the gravel road, Oldmiwster and Mr Saxon's horse, fairly run to a standstill, were passed by Trust, going strong and well, and, in fact, drawing upon the leader at every stride. Still it was any odds on Golden Pledge, whose rider, however, discovering at the half distance that the saddle was slip- ping, took up the reins for safety's sake, and, making his best way homewards, won Jin a canter by two lengths. Captain Crow, appa- rently coming again for a " situation,'' finished third, twenty lengths from the second, about half as far in front of Piccador, who was fourth, the favourite fifth, Carisbrook and Clarior canter- ing in next a long way behind them, succeeded by Oldminster.

As usual, after the principal event of the meeting had been set at rest, those who attended the rooms in the evening came more for the purpose of discussing the day's racing and the salient points of the Ebor than with any intention of entering into sp lation. Towards midnight, however, some of the untiring bo; makers renewed their efforts to get round on the St Leger, aiK "> as will be seen, with some success. Lord Clifden found somV^ t strong supporters when least expected, one adherent accepting 500 to 100 about him, with an offer to take 6,000 to 1.000 of the " northern chief;" but the latter politely declined the invitation, and at the close his price was about 11 to 2. This move- ment had for a short period the effect of sending the fa- vourite back, but his most inveterate opponents cooled down, and he left off extremely firm at 9 to 2. Avenger did not appear in much favour, and notwithstanding some support was given him by a gentleman well known in connection with the stable, it did not stem the stream of opposition which set in against him; and at one period he retrograded to 10 to 1, but finally closed at 8 to 1 ( offered), although we fanc3% had layers been in the humour, that at a point over those odds he would have found willing backers. 15 to 1 to some money was taken about Golden Pledge, and 40 to 1 was noted down about Brother to Mo- rocco. The only other animal from the outside division finding any favour was National Guard, who was backed to win some thousands at 50 to 1. After some badinage between a noble lord and Mr Jackson, the former laid 300 to 200 on Macaroni for the " York Cup,'' which was followed by a similar shot by another of the " upper ten," the latter offering to go on and give a start. 2 to 1 was currently offered about Carbineer. The transactions anent the day were of an unimportant character, and will be fully represented by the return given below :— YORK CUP. 300 to 200 on Macaroni ( tk) | 2 to 1 agst Carbineer ( off) ST LEGER. 9 to 2 agst The Ranger ( tk& off) 11 to 2 Lord Clifden ( t& off) 18 to 2 Queen Bertha ( tk) 8 to 1 Avenger ( off) 15 to 1 Golden Pledge ( tk) 13 to 1 agst Paris ( tk) 15 to 1 Scottish Chief ( off) 15 to 1 Cambuscan( off) 33 to 1 Idler ( tk) 33 to 1 Birch Broom ( tk) 40 to 1 Gownsman ( tk) 20 to 1 agst Saccharometer ( tk) 40 to 1 •—- Bro to Morocco ( t£) 50 to 1 National Guard ( tk) 50 to 1 Bright Cloud ( tk) 50 to 1 Pratique ( off) DERBY. 4500 to 100 agst Ackworth ( tk) 50 to 1 Alma ( tk) 1000 to 15 Gownsman ( tk to £ 150) 5000 to 50 — Prince Arthur ( tk) 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 16, 1863. THURSDAY,— A delightful change took place in the weather and the racing being of a most interesting description, the popular Yorkshire gathering ended, as it commenced, with considerable eclat. Lord Stamford, as the senior steward, most judiciously arranged for the sports to commpnce to- day at twelve o'clock, so as to afford those who did not care about the " fag end" of the proceedings an opportunity of catching the favourite " Edinburgh express" train to King's- cross. Only two started for the opening event, the Knavesmire Stakes, for which favouritism alternated between the pair, but Cistercian, who was brought out in excellent • condition, had the call at last, and defeated Beauvale very easily at the finish. The Colt Sapling Stakes proved the certainty it looked for Prince Arthur, who had only a trio of rivals of but moderate pretensions to dispose of, and his victory did not lead to any response to offers of 1,000 to 15 about him for the Derby. The York Cup excited no inconsiderable amount of interest, not so much from the probability of its affording a very close contest, as from the circumstance of it being contested by Macaroni, and in this horse- loving county those of the " northerners" who had not before seen him were naturally anxiousto getaglimpseof the Derby winner. Odds of 7 to 4 were betted on him, the hopes of the " takers" being chiefly centred in Carbineer, although Ciarissimus was not destitute of friends. The favourite, as at Goodwood, was brought out in first- rate condition, and coming away as soon as Challoner deemed it requisite to ask him he won by four lengths, Aldcroft stealing the second score from Carbineer, who was eased at the finish, by half a length. The " Cup," so called, is a richly- chased silver epergne, ornamented with heads of deer. One panel il- lustrates the tournament at York, at which King John presented Xiocksley ( Robin Hood) with a silver bugle. " These twenty nobles which with bugle thou hast fairly won are thine own."— iVANIIOE. The second panel contains groupings of race horse and jockeys. On the shields are the arms of York and the name of the race. It is manufactured by Messrs Hunt and Roskell, and designed and modelled by Mr A. J. Barrett. It may be worth stating that Tim Whiffler, who was entered for this event, and whose name ap- peared on the card, though not " coloured," was not formally " V- oratched, as it was generally known he would not start, having X en slightly amiss lately. Next came the Great Yorkshire Stakes, ir which five— Prince Lee Boo going only, of course, merely to - i his stable companion— appeared to oppose The Banger, on •^ sji^ ii 2 to 1 was laid, Rapid Rhone being supported at ^ Q'rto 1 by the adherents of Lord Glasgow's stable, the only other of the seven backed for a shilling being Old Orange Girl, at the outside price of 10 to 1. The layers of the odds, however, got an unlooked- for amount of excitement for their money, for so gamely was The Ranger pressed by Ford- ham on Old Orange Girl that the verdict in his favour was by a " short neck'' only. Immediately after the race a " demon- stration" ensued, and 6 to 1 was offered against him for the St Leger, which wa3 taken to a " century," one well- known Sheffield bookmaker offering to take it to a " thou." This offer was not complied with, although 6 to 1 to a smaller amount was afterwards proffered, the current one sub- siding down, however, to a point less. On the other hand, " the Northern Leviathan" offered to bet " athousand that Queen Bertha beats The Hanger," and an even thousand was also offered that " he is not one of the first three,'' which offer was followed up • by another that " he is not in the first four," for a " century ;" and just as " the tumult dwindled to a calm" fifteen fifties were booked about Golden Pledge. The result of the Yorkshire Stakes considerably raised the hopes of the Whitewall stable, and the veteran Jot- in Scott, not unreasonably after the previous running of Old Orange Girl this year, and knowing what Queen Bertha can do with her, anticipates the probability of adding another to his already lengthy list of " Bellingers.'' Scottish Chief, although an absentee, was " coloured" on the card for the Gimerack Stakes, and Eastrninster, being generally thought good enough to defeat the seven opposed to him, was made rather a warm favourite. He, however, finished a very indifferent third, and Coast Guard, a Elain, strapping- looking colt, defeated Capt Gray's Syren by a ead. After the race 1,000 to 20 was booked about him for the Derby, these odds being subsequently offered. An offer of £ 1,000 for him after the race was declined, although that sum would have been taken for him beforehand; now, however, his party though him worth another £ 500. The Tyro was reduced to a match between Ostentation and Moulsey, the former opening arid the latter closing the favourite, it being soon pretty evident to the " initiated" that " something was up." The filly followed Moul- sey, " hard held,'' but determined at last to have her own way, she made a rush on her own account, and getting the best of her rider, won by a head, amid much excitement and loud exclama- tions at this anything but witching " display of Noble horseman- ship." As a proof of the estimated capability of the winner, we may remark that, entered for £ 30, she was purchased by Mr Pad- wick, for the Duke of St Albans, for 350gs! Despite the very indifferent figure cut by Marigold in the Yorkshire Oaks on Tues- day, her owner backed her so freely to- day for the Consolation Scramble, over the T. Y. C., that she was by far the best favourite, but she cut no better figure over the shorter than the longer course, and the winner turned up in John Osborne's representa- tive, Paddy O'Rourke, who has before shown forward running this season. No fewer than five- and- twenty out of the eiglit- and- thirty youngsters handicapped contested the Nursery Plate, which proved a very interesting affair, and the start, which was a pretty good one, was effected much sooner than was at one time antici- pated. Harvest Mell, whose trial had been very good, looked well enough in at 7st to take a short price about, but succumbed to the " next best" favourites, Bangle and Dawdle, who finished first and second. The winner, by Surplice out of Bracelet, is a useful- looking filly, in Reeves's stable. Sledmere bowled - over the '• selected" General Bixio— who seemed unable to move — for the Members' Plate, and was bought in for 145 gs, and Dr Rooke scored the last race of the meeting for the Asbgill Stable, beating Revival, Prescription, and Lady Lure- well filly for the Aske Produce Stakes. Amongst the company present during the meeting, in addition to a brilliant display of ladies in the Stand, were the Duke of 8t Albans, the Duke of Beaufort, the Earl of Zetland, the Earl of Westmoreland, the Earl of Stamford, the Earl of Strathmore, the Earl of Durham, the Earl of Glasgow, Lord Vivian, Lord Hawke, Lord W.

The running was made by Piccador, who at half a mile had a lead of eight or ten lengths over his stable com- panion, at whose girths the favourite and Clarissimus travelled on together. This order was maintained to the mile post, where the leader's advantage diminished considerably. Carbineer, however, still going on second, Macaroni next, Lord Glasgow's colt last, sepa- rated about three lengths each until fairly round the Middlethorpe turn, where the quartette took close order, Carbineer, on the re- tirement of Piccador half a mile from home, getting his head in advance. The latter, however, was in trouble at the distance, where he was joined on the right by the Derby winner, with whom he struggled on to below the Stand, and then giving in Macaroni ran home an easy winner by four lengths. Aldcroft, perceiving the opportunity, came with a rush at the finish, and overhauling the stopping Carbineer snatched second money by half a length ; bad fourth. Run in 4min Igsec.

Prince Lee Boo, making play at his best pace, was soon half a dozen lengths in advance of the fa- vourite and Rapid Rhone side by side, followed by Cistercian, Fanfaron, and Old Orange Girl, whipped in by Early Purl. Ap- proaching the mile post the horses dropped more into Indian file, but without any important change of positions, save that of Fanfaron, who at the wood side fell back to Early Purl, in the rear. The latter, however, thence began to creep up on the out- side ground, and at the T. Y. C. got on better terms with the lead- ing horses, of whom Prince Lee Boo directly afterwards disap- peared from the fore, leaving The Ranger, next the rails, in the van, and being immediately joined on the whip hand by Old Orange Girl and Lord Glasgow's colt, the three came out and finished the race. Within the distance the grey was beaten, after which a slashing struggle between the other two resulted in the favourite just maintaining the best of it to the end, and securing the fiat by a short neck only. Rapid Rhone, who, though appa- rently beaten at the Stand, by a final effort finished half a length from Old Orange Girl, whose stable companion ( not per- severed with in the last hundred and fifty yards) cantered in a bad fourth. The others were pulled up, so that only those placed passed the chair. Run in 3min 12sec.

Sstart, after which the lot quitted the post in a body, with Syren slightly in command for about a hundred yards', when Doyle took a pull, and the running was taken up by Myrtilus, with Eastminster at his side, the ruck, headed by Syren, pressing closely at their heels. Thus they proceeded to the gravel road crossing, where Eastminster got his head in advance, but at the half distance gave way beaten, and Myrtilus dropped into the rear. Upon their retirement, Syren, once more in front, looked all over the winner, until challenged at the Stand by Coast Guard, last of everything round the final bend, the issue, a splendid set- to, being that the latter reached the filly in the last stride, and won on the post by a head. Three lengths divided second and third; the Va- cuna colt was a bad fourth, The Loafer fifth, Mahometan sixth, John Gully next, Myrtilus last. Run in lmin 53sec.

Atthe sixth attemptTopsy rushed away with the lead, waited on by Erythia, the Calliope colt, Entremet, and Paddy O'Rourke, the favourite lying immediately in their wake. This was the order to the road, where Paddy took his colours to the fore, and having only Entremet to contend with from the half distance, defeated her in a canter by two lengths.

TUESDAY, AUG 18.— The change of " fixture" for these races from the early part of May to the present time has proved most beneficial to themeeting, which came off on Tuesday, and afforded the best day's sport seen in the New Forest for many years. The entries for all the races were large, in one case reaching fifteen, and bringing to the post thirteen runners, whilst for other events the runners numbered respectively nine, seven, and. six.^ The class of animals, too, was very superior to preceding years, Epsom, Ilsley, and Danebury having its representatives. The meeting requires one or two improvements, which, however, cannot easily be made at present; but " punctuality," which, if a race meeting is to become good, is a sine qua non, might surely have been better observed ; for, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions of the officials to get the races off, it was half- pa- 1 seven o'clock ere the last event was concluded. A little more activity on the part of the course keepers is also necessary.

THURSDAY, AUG 20.— This meeting commenced on Thurs- day, and was, as compared with previous anniversaries, a great success, the entries being larger and the running better. In fact, we believe that with a little energy the Plymouth meeting will resume the position it formerly held. There were no accidents during the day, except one tumble, in which Scorey, a novice jockey, was thrown, and had his collar bone broken. The course was in capital order, and weather beautiful^ fine, The UNITED SEKVICE PLATE of 50 sovs, added to Handicap of 10 sovs each, h ft, and only 2 if declared ; winners extra ; gentle- men riders; jockeys 71b extra; two miles.

Starter: Mr M. Starling, of Newmarket. Clerk of the Course: Mr R. Elve. THURSDAY, AUG 20.— Judging from the imposing array of stewards enumerated above, and from the enormous concourse of pleasure- seekers gathered together on the picturesque race course near the ca6tle, racing would appear to retain that prestige at Dover which it has unaccountably lost at many other former " places of sport" in Kent. Although there were occasional sharp showers, tfce weather was altogether enjoyable, and shoals of visitors swarmed up to the course at an early hour. As usual, Lord Palmerston, who is a staunch supporter of the meeting, and who, as will be seen above, heads the list of stewards, was present, and was, of course, the observed of all observers. The misfortune that occurred to his lordship's horse in the first race excited quite a general feeling of disappointment. While apparently winning easily, Spencer slipped up at the top turn and broke his off fore leg, " throwing his rider, who, however, escaped with a shaking. The horse was, of course, immediately destroyed, and having been a creditable performer, will prove a considerable loss to the small stud of our " plucky" Premier. Between the races a splendid band of a Highland regi- ment played operatic selections and dance music, to the great delectation of the numerous ladies who thronged the temporary Stand. The racing itself was of the usual flapping description, and presented no features worthy of comment, with the exception of the unfortunate accident alluded to above, by which almost the only animal present with any pretension to the name of a race horse lost his life. The enclosure in front of the Stand was almost entirely occupied by " little men," all the large speculators of the London division being absent at York. Speculation on the different events was therefore exceedingly limited, the amount of money that changed hands being very small. The re- tention of heat racing in the programme, on which we so strongly animadverted last year, was on this occasion confined only to the Hurdle Race, the Town Plate— also a heat race— not having filled. We trust that this very significant fact will induce the committee entirely to do away with the nuisance next year. Owing to this fact, and to the punctuality with which Mr J. F. Clark fulfilled his duties at the scales, the sport was brought to a conclusion at an earlier hour than usual. The VISITORS'AND TRADESMEN'S PLATE ( Handicap) of 5 sovs each, 3 ft, with 25 sovs added by the Marquis of Hastings! and 75 from the fund ; winners extra; about one mile and a half; 19 subs.

Spencer got off in front, followed by Gibraltar, The Idea, and Baliverne. Entering the straight, Spencer in- creased his lead, still followed by Gibraltar. At the top turn, however, the favouriteslipped and threw his rider. Clement was, however, unhurt, but Lord Palmerston's horse was discovered to have broken his off fore leg, and was immediately destro3' ed. Knight Templar was at the time of the catastrophe in close at- tendance upon Gibraltar and Spencer, and had to jump over the latter to avoid falling. Gibraltar retained the lead to the finish, Rhoebus going on next, " Mr Jorrock's" horse being beaten easily by three lengths, four lengths between the second and third; the others widely scattered.

Lady Fanny jumped off with the lead, but was almost immediately passed by Mary Stewart, who was never afterwards headed, and won by four lengths; a bad third. Previous to the race an objection was lodged against Lady Fanny's running, it being alleged that she was in arrear of stakes, and the mare ran under protest.

Stewards: Lord De Freyne, Colonel French, M. P.; the O'Conor Don, M. P.; Capt R. Golf, Capt P. Balfe, Dr Bayley, Major D'Arcy Patrick H. O'Connor, and James Glancy, Esqs. Secre- tary : " Mr Michael Grealy. Judge: R. J. Hunter, Esq. Starter: Mr P. Davis. This year Lenabane course, all sound elastic turf, over which fiat and wall races take place annually, was in splendid order, and as usual the meeting attracted all the fashionable sporting men of the district. The programme issued was not a satisfactory one, and did not contain a stake for two year olds bred in the county. The Tradesmen's Plate fell to the ground, which was not a matter to be wondered at, seeing that the stakes, forfeits, and entries were to go to the fund, and the winner would have had to pay the second horse's stake; deductions which left the plate so worthless that there were no entries, and it was found necessary to substi- tute a 40 sovs Plate, with which the meeting opened, and it was won in a canter by Rudiments, a county bred. The Leap Race, with which the first day's sport closed, was contended for by four at equal weights, and resulted in favour of Lord De Freyne's Farintosh, which gave the people great pleasure, his lordship being highly esteemed and valued in the county by all classes. On the second day the articles were viewed in the same unfavour- able light, and finally two events with minor amounts added and post entry were substituted for those published, and, after a long delay, they were run off, and were won by O'Connell and Wag- tail, a pair of county bred ones ; thus four of the prizes given were carried off by Connaught nags, and the remaining one by Little Nelly, the Curragh representative.

PAISLEY MEETING. This so- called meeting ought to be under the most efficient management with properly- constituted stewards, judge, starter, and clerk of the course, and called " The Glasgow Meeting," from its close proximity to the greatest and wealthiest city in Scotland, then, and not till then, can great things be expected. And there is truly ample scope to provide the wherewithal for two, or even three, days' first- class sport annually. It is to be hoped that the Turfites of Glasgow will, ere another year comes round, endea- vour to rally and secure the needful to procure a good race course in this neighbourhood, and the sinews of war to tempt the entries of horses worthy of the name, so that the citizens of Glasgow may witness with pride and satisfaction really good racing at their ain doors, so to speak. The actual necessity for stewards and other regular officials for a race meeting need not be commented on, and, without any disparagement to the good intentions of the spirited few who have thus far endeavoured to resuscitate the Paisley reunion, we would strongly recommend their get- ting some influential Glasgowegians to take the lead in securing the national sport in all its glory for next year ; make the added money worth coming for, abolish the heat nuisance and trotting races, and adhere rigidly to the legitimate racing and Newmarket rules. Tho prospects of the committee augur well for the future; they having already leased about twenty acres of ground, and contemplate leasing or purchasing the whole of the ground on which the races were wont to be run in Paisley's more palmy days. The subscriptions and other sources of revenue, we understand, have far exceeded the expenditure, so that with a comfortable nest egg we look forward with pleasure and satisfaction to " the good time coming." The attendance at the present gathering was unprecedented, the weather most inviting, and the greatest good order and contentment prevailed, although the fields were small, and in some cases proved " Cauld kail het again''— a Scotti- cism, signifying " the same over again."

SIR : A great deal has been written on the new modus operandi for the cure of roaring in the horse, amongst which an article appeared through the medium of your valuable columns of last week, the author of which, like others who have previously written on the subject, attributed the malady to paralysis of the dilator muscles of the larynx on the left side, and states that it is his opinion it is due to tight- reining, thereby causing pressure on those organs. Then he goes on to say he is at a loss to know the true cause, and hopes ere long it will be discovered. He also speaks of the remedy, that is, the actual cautery, having beneficial effect in cases of what is too commonly called incipient roaring. The fact is, we must either have roaring or no roaring. The word in- cipient covers a multitude of obscurities, and leaves a loophole for the author to creep out of. With regard to harness horses being more subject to this malady than others, on the contrary, we find it prevailing more among race horses and hunters, for instance, that of the Ace of Clubs ; and I will now proceed to demonstrate the true cause of this most baneful malady. It consists in paraly- sis of the left recurrent laryngeal nerve, thereby cutting off the nerve force to the dilatum muscles on the left side of the larynx. Hence we get diminished supply of vital fluid ( the blood) for the support of their development; hence their becoming atrophid, or wasting away, therefore assuming a pallid appearance; hence the contraction of the cartiledges on the same side, thereby greatly lessening the calibre of the head of the windpipe ; and, as the horse is incapable, as a rule, of breathing through his mouth in the act of inhalation, thereby more air being taken through the medium of the nasal passages than can be adequately taken through the larynx ; hence that abnormal sound ensues precisely on the same principle as a whistle; and as another proof as to the cause, viz, that of the nerve, for instance, we take a sound horse and divide this nerve, the animal will soon become a roarer. Why it should always occur on the left side is in consequence of this nerve taking a direction through the chest, and giving a recurrent branch to the heart, whilst that on the right side does not, thereby not being rendered subject to the same sudden shocks which the heart is so much prone to, thereby ending in paralysis of the nerve in question. I point this out as the first exciting cause; the second, that of an hereditary predisposition, which is proved from the well- known fact of young animals, from six months to three years old, being subjects to this malady which have never been harnessed or domesticated ; and the results of my profes- sional experience, with the application of firing to the throat in upwards of thirty cases, some of which were of an hereditary type, and others were old horses assuming a more chronic form, and in each of the applications it has only proved temporary in its operation. I have likewise tried the application of other stimu- lating agents with precisely the same effect, that is, the iodine ointment applied round the throat, and the administration of small doses of strychnine given internally. I attribute the action of these agents as follows :— By increasing the electricity of the nervous system, thereby acting sympathetically on this especial nerve ; but, when once the active principle of nerve, viz, neure- line, becomes lost it never can again be restored to its pristine state; hence death to the part.— Yours, & c, J. G. CATTRALL, M. R. C. V. S., Ex- Vice- President to the Veterinary Medical Association, London.

ANGLING. SUMMER FISHING. " Soon as the morning trembles o'er the sky, And unperceived unfolds the spreading day Before the ripened field the reapers stand In fair array; each by the lass he loves, To bear the rougher part, and mitigate l? y nameless gentle offices her toil." Long continued heat and dry weather has given us an early and bounteous harvest. " Before the ripened field the reapers stand fair array," and it is to be hoped that this same fine " harvest weather'' may continue— though it is dead against the angler. Many of the salmon rivers are so low that the fish which crowd their mouth cannot ascend, though they make most desperate efforts, and very slight floods will fill the waters with fish, which are so abundant that salmon has been selling for some time at a lower rate than has been known for many years. Should we have rain enough to make even light floods, magnificent sport is, I firmly believe, in store for the salmon angler. Pish will in gene- ral rise more freely at the end of this month, when the nights begin to be cool, than they do during the wanner season of J uly and early in August, and you may be pretty certain of " seeing '> fish if you use moderate skill— to bring them safely to creel is " another pair of shoes." Your flies should be rather larger than those you used last month, and, as a rule, more gaudy. I fancy yellow, orange, and claret are the colours Which are more attractive to salmon at this season. Shyer and more shy, become the sly old trout, now fat and dainty. Having for months been feeding on the " fat of the land,'' disdains all food save the most luscious morsels, and when he does feed he likes a " mouthful." Almost any kind of large na- tural fly on a small bait hook ( fine gut and one shot) will kill. Sink your bait in any deep, such as mill dams, lochs, or still pools; let the bait go to the bottom, and draw it up quietly by Blow jerks. The hottest days are the best for this performance. A common house fly, blue bottle, any of the numerous grubs, spiders, or beetles will kill, for trout will, I believe, take any sort of worm, grub, or fly when they are feeding, in fact, almost any- thin o- that comes near them; the large black slug found in great quantities on the grass during damp weather, or after sun set when the weather is hot, is an excellent bait used as above, but a snail taken from the shell is better. The minnow and worm are still excellent, but the best fish will usually be killed with moths during the evening and night. The flies for this period have not much changed since my last. The cinnamon, the orange, and August dun, with the coachman for evening, and white and brown moths for night fishing, are still on. To these may be added the " whirling dun,' 1 which is a most excellent killer on some waters, particularly those in the south of England. It is a good midday fly if the waters are ruffled by strong wind. Imitation— Body : reddish brown dubbing, mixed with green and yellow; wings: feather from the wing of an old star- ling ; legs: ginger hackle. Palmers, red, black, and brown are good. Palmers should be made large or small, accord ing to the water you fish— large if the water is heavy and dark, and small in fine water. A friend who kills as many fish as most men seldom fishes with any other surface lure; and as a palmer is far more easily made than any " fly," I should recommend all tyros who are fishing in places where they cannot purchase tackle to use the palmer, w « ich they can make themselves in a very few minutes. I have used red and brown palmers in lakes with great success, particularly in Canada, and I believe they will kill " all the world over" wherever a trout will take a fly. Be very par- ticular in procuring good hackles ; if red, let them be deep blood red, and the under side of the hackle should be nearly as dark as the upper. You will find the best red hackles on an old game cock; bantams have sometimes very fine red hackles. A really good red hackle is invaluable to the ' trout fisher, and I never pass a good red hacked cock, or red with black tip, called the furnace liackle, or a blue hen, without endeavouring by fair means or " foul" to transfer some of their fibry covering to my pocket. It is not everybody that can catch a cock or a hen in an open space, and many a run had I, with nothing but the loss of wind for my trouble, until I was given a wrinkle by a very old and artful dodger. He always during his country rambles carried a piece of twine in his pocket and a small quantity of corn. When he saw a fowl whose jacket was par- ticularly attractive, he drew out his cord, made a running noose, and placed it on the ground; he next cast his corn round his snare, and the fowls very soon congregated to the feast, when his victim was well over the noose a quick sharp jerk was suffi- cient to make him captive. Many a bird have I plucked, caught in this way. As I have said, a palmer is the easiest of all " flies" to make. You have nothing to do but whip your gut to a hook, • commence whipping then at the head of the shank and run the silk down to the bend of the hook; then make one or two half bitches, place your harl for the body on the silk where you have made the hitches, and take one or two turns round it, fasten off and lay your hackle ( the small end) on the same spot, take a turn or two and fasten off, run your silk up to the head of the shank; now take your harl and run it up the shank to the head ( to form the body of the palmer) and fasten off; then twist the hackle over the body to the head andfasten off, and your palmeris made. It most likely will be a rough one and unsightly to the eye of an expert fly tier, but trout are not so fastidious when they are feeding, and you will in time be able to make as good a palmer or buzz fly as those who mav laugh at your first attempts. I think every angler should be able to tie his own fly; it is not necessary he should do so, flies are now made in the very best manner for tieing- to at so reasonable a rate that it is hardly worth the trouble and expense he must incur to make his own" Pirst, there is the very great trouble of getting really good feathers, and only those who have tried it know the difficulty of procuring the best coloured feathers ; to make up flies with bad materials is a waste of time, and also certain disappointment at the l iver side. Then, when you come to count up the expense of the hooks, gut, dubbing, twist, feathers, & c, & c, you will find your fly- making is not such a very great " pull'' as yeu imagine. Still, every angler ought to be able, as I have before stated, to make his own flies. The same may be said with regard to rods. You should know how to make a rod, and more particularly to mend one, but I would not advise your making your own rods; the chances are that the very worst rod you can find at any of the fishing- tackle shops will be better than your own production, and far cheaper. It is, however, almost absolutely necessary you should be able to mend your rod whenever any small misfortune happens to you whilst fishing, which, though slight, may deprive you of your sport, unless you can sit down and rectify the evil, and there are few fractures which may not be mended, so that at all events you may continue your work. If you find your rod " shaky" at any one of the joints, and do not know the exact spot, grasp the* rod at the suspected point, and then wave the rod backward and forward; you will feel the fracture work in your hand; but if you find the rod firm in your grasp, move your hand tip the rod, at the same time waving the rod, and you will soon find the infirm spot; nine times out of ten the rod goes at one of the ferrules, and this is about the very worst point at which a rod can break. I have found it an excellent plan to carry in my fly- book two or three slips of steel, about 2j inches long, and the thickness of a sixpence; they should be made three sizes, to fit the ferrules. When I find a rod " sprung" at a ferrule, or cracked in any part of the rod, I place one of these pieces of steel on the weak part and bind it down tight with waxed cord. A rod so " lashed'' will stand any work until you have time to get it properly mended, and it does not very mate rially interfere witli the play of the rod. Many a day's fishing have these said bits of steel saved me, and I should advise the fly fisher, and more particularly the salmon fisher, never to be with- out them; any blacksmith will make them in a few minutes. It may be useful to the young fisherman to know how to make a " splice," or mend a broken joint at the river side. A strong and sharp knife of course you will always carry; also some silk twist, and wax. Cut your rod at the point of fracture, and be careful to take out all the split wood. Your splice should be about three inches long for one of the middle pieces, and about two- and- a half for top joints. The greatest difficulty you will find is to make the two pieces you are splicing lay straight. If your two cuts are exactly the same length from the top of the cut down to the point, you will find that the splice will be straight. It is not easy to cut the hard wood of which rods are made quite even with a knife, but with a little care the face of each cut may be made sufficiently straight to answer your purpose for the time. I find a file in my large knife most useful, and I have it made thus:— The file is nearly as large as the blade, and lies alongside it; one side of this file is rough for filing wood, the other very fine for sharpening the points of hooks; and the lower edge of the file, where the edge would be on a knife blade, I have made so that I can saw a pieceof iron, brass, or wood, if necessary. With such a file in your knife you can easily make the face of your two cuts as even as is at all necessary. Having cut your splices, all you have to do is to bind them together with strong silk twist well waxed, or any fine cord; but do not hurry your work and do it carelessly. Draw your silk tight each time you pass it round the splice, and fasten off. The simplest way of fastening off is to take a small piece of the silk you are using, make a loop of it, and tie the loop downwards on your splice; then continue binding the splice over the loop about a dozen rounds, pass the silk through the loop, and draw the loop with the silk under the binding, cut off the surplus silk, and you have a firm and neat fastening. I have endeavoured to explain the simple and well- known process of splicing a broken rod, well known to most anglers, who will, if they read my explanation, perhaps sneer at my taking up so much space on a subject so well known; but, as I have many times stated, I do not write with the expectation of being able to instruct " old hands.'' It is for the tyro I write; but it is quite wonderful how very few, even really good anglers, are able to mend even the most simple fracture of their rods. I have many times met really " old hands," and good fishermen, perfectly help- less at the river side. And many a good hour have I passed splicing tip rods for tnen who ought to have known the simple process as well as I did. A loose ferrule on a rod is an awful nuisance, and, if not repaired, will most likely end in breaking either the ferrule, or the part of the joint the ferrule is fitted to. The quickest and easiest way to fasten a ferrule is with rosin. Glue is not always to ba found, and is too much affected by wet. Rosin resists all damp. Pound a small piece of rosin to a fine powder; put some of the powder round the joint of your rod, where the ferrule goes on ; take hold of the ferrule with a pair of iron pincers and moderately heat the ferrule, then take some of the powder on a piece of stick and introduce the rosin into the interior of the ferrule, at the same time turning the fer- rule so as to let the rosin melt and distribute itself equally all round the inside of the ferrule. Now place the ferrule on the joint whilst the rosin is in a melting state, shove the ferrule home to its fitting, and leave it for a few minutes to cool. It is when cool ready for use, and will stand more work in wet, heat, or cold than any other way I know of fitting a ferrule. But this is dry work, though necessary. Let us now have a little gossip on fishing, for— " All sporting I love, yet no moment I prize More deeply than when the bright salmon rise. • See, ho !' makes the heart leap, and so does the ' view,' But' I've hooked hiin' makes the heart leap and hand tremble too. But they leap and they tremble, with hope and with joy, For iny skill must now back my cunning decoy." So now " a mon : mjet." There are few things in this world so enjoyable, so intensely exciting, as a " view"—" viewing'' an old dog fox away from a bit of gorse, a fine country before him, the pack in all its freshness and ardour straining every nerve, " heads tip and sterns down," making the surrounding hills ring with their deep t ned music; behind come a gallant band of horsemen, each straining for the " lead." Aye! ' tis a joyous and delightful scene, and the only sport I know which can be compared to it, so far as excitement is concerned, is hooking a goodly fresh run salmon in rapid water. There is a sen- sation* hardly to be explained— gratification at having by your skill '*' circumvented'' the sly old " dodger," and a nervous dread that he may yet escape you. A good horse, firm sent, and bold heart will most likely carry you up to the tail of " the pack" to " the death ;" but after you have hooked your salmon a good eve and hand to back it, firm and steady nerves, patience, and skill, are all necessary to " lead on to glory." Yes! there is but one thing in sporting to be compared with fox hunt- ing, and that is salmon fishing. But it is not in the power of the great majority of our anglers to enjoy this magnificent wport. For- tunately our rivers contain many varieties of fish, and as these fish are not all in condition at the same season the angler may always find employment for his rod. This is the gala season for the bottom fisher, and there is hardly a fish which is not now in good condition, and if you fish with a warm you may take almost anything, from a minnow to a salmon, I do not know any river fish that will not take a worm. As I said in a former letter the ^ Thames and Trent are the two best rivers we have for bottom fishing, and I think with proper management they might be made as fine trout rivers as any in the kingdom. Salmon may, no doubt, ba introduced into the upper waters of both of these rivers, and they will breed there and run down to the sea, and in due season return. It is, I believe, quite an erroneous idea that the filthy water at the mouth of the Thames, together with the great river traffic will deter salmon from returning to the upper waters. I believe that they will run past London in spite of dirt and stsamers. Suppose a fish running up the Thames from the sea; he will not meet any serious annoyance until he get3 somewhere about the docks ; he will run up with the flood and bring the purer water with him, and it will not take him long to run from the docks to Westminster Bridge, where he will meet comparatively pure water, which will every mile he ascends be- oome finer, and before he gets to Richmond he will be in as fine water as any in Britain. But I do not think the Thames will ever be what we call a " fine salmon river." Salmon may be in- troduced into the river, and, by preservation and artificial* breed- ing, they may ba retained there; but, if left to their natural course, I think in a very few years salmon would again be as rare in the Thames as they have been of late years. It is not calculated by nature for the breeding of salmon ; and, if ever it was, we have done all we could to spoil it by art. The Thames is par excellence the bottom fisher's river, and this is his season. The secret of successful bottom fishing fine tackle and fishing at a distance from you. Don't over ground bait your swim, you cannot expect any sensible fish ( andThames fish are as sharp as London " Arabs") to take a worm with a hook through it when he can get the worm minus the hook; or, if you gorge yourself to the throat at the " Rag" you could not instantly step over to the " Travellers''' and per- form the satae delightful task. I recollect a good anecdote being told me in Paris; an English gourmand at one of the cafes noticed that many Frenchmen took oysters just before dinner. The have not the same effect on my appetite as yours; just the re- verse. for yesterday I eat six dozen oysters just before dinner, and, would you believe it, I had not the slightest appetite for my dinner!" I have now taken up so much space that I must reserve what I have to say on sea fishing for my next.— Yours, & c, FIN. AQUATIC BEGISTEH. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. MORNING. EVENING.

A reef was now taken in the fore lug, the sail again hoisted and set, and at 2: 40, after one hour and a quarter's deten- tion she filled away and was again on her course. The sea con- tinued to increase, and broke in all directions, and the yacht shipped a great deal of water forward. There were now three schooners, one yawl, and three cutters in company, but we could not make out their signal flags. At 3: 23the Gleam was observed to havecarried away the jaws of hermaingaff, thesail was lowered, and after a little trim was set again, but this was only for a short time, and another mishap occurred, the sail was lowered, and about half an hour after she set her maintrysail. The Julia was ob- served to carry away the clew of her mainsail. There were now eight yachts in sight, and all more or less appeared to have suffered some mishap. Shark hauled down her jib, and we after- wards ascertained she had carried away her weather whisker. Audax carried away her bowsprit shroud, and started her weather channel. Christabel burst her foresail. At five p. m. the French coast was observed through the haze, and shortly afterwards Bar- fleur Lighthouse was descried on the lee bow. The sea seemed to get up more and more as we approached the land, owing to the strong weather tide. All vessels in company labouring and plunging heavily. Galatea hull down, and with every appear- ance of being the first yacht in. Shark on the weather bow of the Gipsy, distant about three miles, and the Marina on her weather quarter. Three cutters in company about six miles to wind- ward of the Gleam, which were subsequently made out to be the Christabel, Syren, and Audax ; also the Julia ( yawl). At 6: 26 the Gipsy rounded the fort on the west end of the Breakwater, and at 6: 35 came to anchor in the inner roadstead off the town of Cher- bourg. The following is the official time of their respective ar- rivals. Commodore Thellusson arrived in the Aline at 4: 48: 45. She was not in the race. H. M. S. I H. M. S. 1. GALATEA 5.

The Maria ( schooner) got in at 8: 45 p. m Thus terminated one of the most exciting matches ever remem- bered. On the following morning's tide most of the yachts pro- ceeded into the inner basin to repair damages, where they are safely moored. We understand that the Fernande carried away her peak halliards in coming across, and the Agenoria, a Ports- mouth piiot boat, freighted with a goodly company, after getting about 2C miles oft' the land, together with several yachts, was compelled to bear up and run for shelter. On Tuesday the regat ta at Cherbourg commenced, and, as far as a magnificent spectacle afloat is concerned, it was a brilliant affair; the sailing matches and boat races were chiefly among the fishermen and boats belonging to the men of war and the port, and consequently were only of local interest. In the even- iug there was a ball at the Hotel de Ville, to which the whole of the yachtsmen were invited. AUG 20.— Yachts at and about the station during the week :— Julia, G. Fielder; Zillah, T.

( CONTINUED.) In our last we were only enabled to report the proceedings of this regatta up to the departure of the post on Thursday, Aug 13, and, as we then anticipated, they had no chance of finishing before sunset, and the match had to be sailed over again on the followin, day, being added to the events of Friday, Aug 14, which consistei of boat races and other aquatic sports, and the R. V. Y. C. ball in the evening. FRIDAY, AUG 14.— In consequence of the paltry state of the weather, which was about the same as on the preceding day light airs from the southward and eastward, with alternate calms — the sailing committee directed that the course should be shortened, and only once round the same was the order of the day. At 10: 30 the yachts were off to the westward, with favour- able wind and tide. Those which started at the signal gun were : — First match : Crusader, Emmet, and Osprey ; the Moonbeam was withdrawn. Second match : Yindex, Flying Cloud, and Audax, the Marina and Medea being also absentees, with BO re- striction as to rig, ballast, sails, or crew. Owing to the lightness of the wind the yachts kept in a cluster, and there appeared to be very little difference between them in their progress to the west- ward. Off Osborne the Yindex appeared to be the leading ves- sel, and the yachts in the second match rounded the middle buoy as under:— H. M. S. I H. M. S. | H. M. S. YINDEX 11 2 40 | FLYING CLOUD 11 5 20 | AUDAX 11 6 5 Those in the first match ( the Mosquitoes) got so intermingled with the others that it was impossible to discern with precision their colours, but the leading yacht passed the middle buoy about three minutes ahead of the second, the Osprey being last, viz, 11: 12: 5, she, as a yawl, being easily made out. After passing the west, buoy of the middle, they made the best of their way for the Noman, but they had to tack frequently, as the wind hung well to the southward, and consequently the sailing was in the reverse order of yesterday. Towards noon the wind, what little there was, seemed to die away, and, in fact, it was almost a second edi- tien of the events of the previous day, and would have been en- tirely so had not the course been shortened. As it was the yachts were about six hours and a half proceeding once round the course, a distance of only 21 miles. As they approached the East Chan- nel, the breeze came well to the southward, which caused a dead beat to the Nab, and as the yachts, when approaching the Nab, were on different tacks, it- was impossible to descry from the pier head what advantage each had over the other, or even to note the time they passed the Nab. After rounding the Nab, and on open- ing the point of land, the Yindex was the leading yacht of both fleets by half an hour, the whole of them under a crowd of canvas homew* ard bound. On passing the Noman they were timed as under:— H. M. s. I H. M. S. I H. M. S. YINDEX 2 44 30 1 AUDAX 3 14 30 | FLYING CLOUD., 3 32 35 And on arriving at the goal— once round the course— the following is the time of the respective vessels :— H. M. S. I H. M. S. I H. M. S.

CRUSADER 4 44 55 | EMMET 4 59 30 Osprey was in a fix to the eastward, becalmed. A protest was made by the Emmet against the Crusader, in consequence of a foul, which was heard before the committee, and the Emmet declared the winner of the prize. During the afternoon the crowd of spectators which thronged the pier head were entertained with various rowing matches and punt races, in which they seemed to take more interest than in the sailing matches. Thus eBded the Royal Victoria Yacht Club Regatta for the season, which upon the whole was successfully carried out, and if there be any fault to find it would be with the weather. We cannot close our report without thanking Lieut Mackinnon, the new secretary to the club, for the courtesy mani- fested in affording information, and the same may be said of the gallant secretary to the R. Y. S. THE OCEAN MATCH.— The Commodore's Cup, value £ 100, open to all yachts belonging to the R. V. Y. C., to be sailed from Ryde to the west end of the Breakwater at Cherbourg, came off on Mon- day, Aug 17, the first yacht inside the Breakwater to be the win- ner. For this race the following vessels were entered.:— ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON. COWES, AUG 20.— Arrivals : I9th, the Fair Rosamond, Capt P. Smith, from the westward ; 20th, the Imogen, J.

The monthly meeting of the above club was held on Friday, Aug 14, at the Freemasons' Tavern; Mr P. Turner, the treasurer, occupying the chair in the absence of the Commodore. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, several gentlemen were proposed for election at the next meeting, and the subject of the barge race was introduced, but dropped on it being suggested that the business connected therewith should be left to the last night of entry. The ordinary routine of busi- ness then followed, and the closing trip of the club was fixed to take place on the 26th of September, yachts to rendezvous at Blackwall at three p. m., and proceed direct to Erith, dining at the Pier Hotel at six p. m. precisely. Pearse) 0. On starting, the Cornish Lass became the leader, but the Pembrokeshire Lass, after some severe pulling, came in the winner by four lengths. SHEERNESS GARRISON STAKES; first boat £ 5, second £ 3, third £ 1; to be rowed by artillerymen sf the Sheerness Garrison.— Prince of Wales ( Br Irvin) 1, Alma ( Sergt Gough) 2, Alexandra ( 8ergt Dale) 3, Blue Bell ( Sergt Pettigrew) 0, Marigold ( Sergt Puffley) 0. The Prince of YVales took the lead and maintained it; the race was well contested. LADIES' PLATE ; first boat £ 6, second £ 3, third £ 2, fourth £ 1; 30- feet gigs; to be rowed by seamen and marines of H. M.' s ships in Sheeinesss Harbour.— Queen ( J.

The Queen was the boat belonging to the Admiral. NAVAL STAKES : first boat £ 5, second £ 3, third £ 1; 28- feet cut- ters ; to be rowed by men of war's men and marines, belonging to H. M.' s ships in Sheerness harbour.— Bee ( W. Ayres), Black Joke ( J. Riley). No Go ( J. Matthews), Try Me ( W. Kempton). This was the best race of the day. The Bee took the lead, but her position soon cha. iged, and it was with difficulty to say which boat would be the winner, as they kept abreast for a long time ; ultimately the Black Joke managed to come in about a boat's length ahead. DOCKYARD STAKES ; first boat £ 5, second £ 3, third £ 1 ; four- oared 25 to 27- feet whale boats; to be rowed by men employed in H. M.' s Dockyard, Sheerness — Milford Lass ( G.

Baskett) 0, Fairy ( E. Thomas) 0. Won easily. CHESTER REGATTA. This regatta took place on Thursday, Aug 20, in the presence of thousands of spectators. The controller of the course was Mr F. Potts. Mr W. M. Williams acted as starter, Mr H. Lloyd offi- ciated as umpire, and Mr E. Dixon was clerk of the committee ground. The races commenced at half- past twelve precisely, and were over at six o'clock. The committee ground was thrown open, as usual, by ticket to the subscribers to the fund and their friends, and ferry boats were placed on the river to ferry ticket- holders across, free of charge. The excellent band of the Chester Rifle Volunteers was in attendance, and played a choice selection of music; as was also the band of the Bluecoat Hospital. The following is a return of the racing:— , The TRIAL STAKES of £ 5 ( in specie), for four- oared boats ( not outrigged), to be rowed and steered by Chester boys under 18 years of age.— First heat: Countess— R.

AUDAX During the previous night the weather, which had for weeks past been remarkably fine, assumed a threatening appearance, and in the early morn some smart showers fell; but as the hour for the start approached the mist cleared off, and the sky be- tokened no want of wind for the following twenty- four hours. Our correspondent accepted the kind offer made to him by Mr Morse, the owner of tile American yacht Gipsy, of a berth aboard that vessel, and at 6 a. m. the usual preparation wa3 made to get under weigh. At 6: 40 she broke ground, and gracefully dropped through Cowes R » > ads under the jib and staysail, and proceeded to the eastward with a light breeze from the W. N. W. and the young flood making. At 7 passed Osborne, and at 7: 30 hove to off Ryde, outside the fleet of yachts. At 8 a. m. a preparatory gun was fired, one hour previous to the start, and the yachts instantly hoisted their sails, and proceeded to take up their allotted sta- tions, the schooners to the northward and the cutters next to the pier. Orders had been sent off to all yachts not in the race to keep to leeward of those in the match. This, so far as the Gipsy was concerned, was strictly adhered to, and we may place her in her course onward as the* leewardmost vessel of the fleet. The hour for the start had now arrived, and at 9 a. m. the gun was fired, and the yachts, which had been lying to as near as possible in a line to the northward of the pier, let go their head sheets, and were instantly in motion, accompanied by several yachts under the white, blue, and red burgets. At 9: 10 the yachts were well under weigh, with the whole of their canvas set. The Gipsy too displayed all her muslin, viz, main- sail, fore lug, forestaysail. jib, flying jib, fore and maintopsails, and mainstaysail. At this time we counted 42 yachts in com- pany, besides a couple of steamers freighted with spectators, to accompany the fleet as far as the Nab. At 9: 34 the yachts were off the Noman, the Aline leading the whole ; then came the Galatea, Marina, and Shark, which had gradually drawn out from the ruck. Then nearly abreast of each other we observed the Audax, Maria, Syren, Gleam, Wizard, Christabel, and Fernande, the remainder bringing up the rear. At 9: 45 they severally opened the Brading water, the breeze began to freshen, and the clouds wore a hardy appearance from the W. N. W., whilst over the land there was something more looming in the distance. As the yachts approached the Nab, the Gipsy doused her mainstaysail and was walking away to leeward, and outside of the fleet, which were steering between the Nab and the island. At 9: 55 the light vessel bore east by compass. Off Bembridge ledge the Galatea shifted her maintopsail and set a smaller one; cloudy, squally weather. Shark now began to overhaul the Marina. The powerful Aline, with tlieCommodore's broad pendant, showed her weatherly qualities, and led the lot, apparently hurrying on to make the best of her way to Cherbourg to time the arrival of the respective vessels. At 10: 25 Ventnor, on with Dunnose, bore W. by 8 , from whence the departure was taken for the west end of the Break- water at Cherbourg. Course, 8. W. by S.; distance, 66 miles, due allowance having been made for the strong flood which made to the eastward until one p. m. At 10: 30 strong breeze from W. by N., Dunnose bearing W. half 8. The whole fleet close hauled. At 11 a. m. Galatea carried away her forexaff topsail yard. Wind still freshening, Gipsy doused tier topsails ; Galatea ahead of those in the race, the Aline proceeding on by herself well to windward, and that position she maintained to the end. The number of yachts in company now began to diminish; several of them appa- rently adopted the wiser course, and bore up for shelter. Some ran for Shanklin Bay, Galatea continued her lead in the match, Gipsy following, 8hark on Gipsy's weather quarter, and the Marina a short distance in her wake, but to windward ; the breeze still freshening, and there was now a hard wind blowing with very strong puffs at times, the whole of the yachts labouring hea- vily, and rolling in the channel swell. At 11: 30 the Shark took in her foretopsail; at 12: 20 Gipsy hauled down the flying jib. The ebb had now commenced, and there was a frightfully troubled sea on the weather tide. Galatea hauled down her maintopsail and housed her topmasts. It now blew a fresh gale from W. by N , with a tremendous sea running. At 1: 25 the Gipsy carried away the jib tack, which appeared to have been made fast with a " slipper hitch," and from the pressure of canvas on her the jib sheet bolt drew from the deck; thesail flapped about considerably before the sail could be secured, and the clew of the bonnet was split. Eventually they hauled down the jib and secured it; while this operation was going on, the port cleat of the deck, to which the fore sheet was belayed, gave way, and the lug got adrift, flapping about, and the sheet blocks threatening destruction to all who approached, the vessel was luffed to the wind, the sail hauled down and temporarily secured while the damage was being repaired. After a lapse of nearly three quarters of an hour the bonnet was taken off the jib ( or forestaysail), and the sail again hoisted, and the weather sheet OXFORD ROYAL REGATTA. This regatta, which it was feared a month since would have fallen to the ground, owing to the unexpected resignation of the officers of last year, came off on the Isis on Tuesday, Aug 18, when the following races were rowed:— CHALLENGE SILVER SCULLS,— First heat: W. H. East 1, T. Eller 0. Shortly after starting Eller fouled East, and conse- quently lost his chance in the race.— 8econd heat: W. G. Ed- wards 1, W. Paine 0. A good race to Saunders's Bridge, but ulti- mately Edwards came in a winner by four boats' lengths.— Third heat: W. G. Edwards 1, W. H. East 0. This heat was won easily by four boats' lengths.— Final heat: W. G. Edwards 1, W". Dolley 0. Dolley was the holder of the sculls. After an exciting race Edwards won by three boats' lengths. CHALLENGE SILVER OARS, for pair- oared; gigs.— First heat: Comet— H. G. Tagart, A. Davis, H. Bacon ( cox), 1; Dolphin— W. Simmonds, J. Gee, H. Bruce ( cox), 0. This race was rowed from the Long Bridges, and, after a well- contested race to the Cher- well, the Comet crew came in winners by three boats' lengths.— Second heat: Hearts of Oak— T. Franklin, P. Morgan, T. Butler ( cox), 1; Staff— R. Miller, G. Webb, E. Webb ( cox), 0. Won easily by two boats' lengths.— Third heat: Comet— H. T. Tagart, A. Davis, H. Bacon ( cox), 1; Hearts of Oak— T. Franklin, P. Mor- gan, T. Butler ( cox), 2. After a determined struggle by t he Hearts of Oak crew they were obliged to succumb to the Comet, who won easily by four lengths.— Final heat: Comet 1; Isis— G. Cripps, F. Smith, E. Greenwood ( cox), 0. This race was looked forward to with some interest, and the Isis, the holders, had to give place to their more juvenile competitors, who won easily. The race was closely contested to the Cher well. DISTRICT CHALLENGE CUP, for four- oared boats.— First Heat: Isis, No. 2— H. Read, W. [ Freeman, W. Hudson, W. Tubb, F. Greenwood ( cox), 1; Star— H. Clarke, T. Puddle, W. Saunders, W. Annis, J. Riddle ( cox), 0. This was a splendid race. After one or two false starts the crews get off well together, the Isis having the start. At the Gut the Star was half a length ahead, and they kept close together throughout the course from Iffley, and after a severe struggle the Isis No. 2 won by about 20 yards.— Final heat: Isis No. 2, 1. Isis No. 1— W. H. East, G. Cripps, R. Jones, F. Smith, H. Goatley ( cox), 0. The Isis No. 1 claimed to be the holders. A good race ended in Isis No. 2, winning by a boat's length. PRINCE of WALES'S CHALLENGE CUP, for pair- oared boats.— First heat: Lily— W. G. Edwards and H. C. Rogers 1; Hearts of Oak— T. Franklin and T. Morgan 0. This race was won easily by the Lily, although the Hearts of Oak had the Berkshire side. — Final heat: Lily 1; Dolphin— W. Simmonds and J. Gee 0. In this race the Dolphin had no chance. Although Mr Edwards had contested in three races, he pulled most pluckily, and came in an easy winner. TOWN JUNIOR PRESENTATION CUPS, for four- oared boats. STAR 1. J. George 2. W. George 3. J. Wilkinson 4. J. Hiiie H. Hosier ( cox) DOLPHIN o 1. S. Earle 2. A. Rogers 3. T. Allsop 4. W. Gee Pratley ( cox) This was a good race. The Dolphin, however, had to succumb to the Star, who won by a boat's length. TOWN CHALLENGE CUP, for four- oared boats. ISIS No. 2 11 STAR o 1. W. Tubb i. h. Clarke 2. W. Read | 2. T. Puddle 3. W. Freeman i 3. W. Saunders 4. W. Hudson j 4. W. Anniss F. Greenwood ( cox) 1 F. Young ( cox) Isis No. 2 had the Berks shore, and after one or two ineffectual attempts a start was effected, and a tremendous struggle ensued ; the boats kept well together throughout the course, and the Isis No. 2 came in winners by about three quarters of a length. GRANB CHALLENGE CUP, for eight- oared boats OXONIAN... 1 LEANDER 0 1. T. Leaver 2. W. Hambidge 3. W. Chandler 4. W. Mackenzie 5. R. Lapworth 6. J. Chandler 7. W. Slay 8. C. llutt W. Loder ( cox) 1. H. James 2. C. Innes 3. J. Penn 4. J. Buckett 5. E. Buckett 6. W. Buckett 7. W. Oris sail 8. T. Ellar J. Hicks ( cox) Bets were freeely offered of 2, 4, and 6 to 1 on the Leander, who were the holders of the cup, and had succeeded in winning the cup three years in succession. The Oxonian crew consisted prin- cipally of the men who contested with the Cambridge College Servants, in connection with whom they succeeded in winning both races. After one or two attempts a good start was effected the bow of the Leander being first to show in front, but this ad- vantage did not long continue, for the Oxonians' quick stroke soon put the boat in advance, and when once there they retained the lead throughout, winning by about three boats' lengths ; this distance might have been increased but for bad steering. WATERMEN'S RACE, in four- oared boats; three crews entered viz :— ' 1. R. Cook I 1. Tims | i. Collins 2. Goatley | 2. Yenables j 2. Hicks 3. Bossom | 3. Buckett | 3. West 4. Blagrove 4. C. Cook 4. W. Cook Knapp ( cox) | Knapp ( cox) [ Morrison ( cox) The three boats started abreast, and after a fast race B. Cook's crew were the winners by a boat's length ; T. Tims's second. At the conclusion of this race a large number of persons assembled on the University barge, when the prizes were handed to the success- ful competitors by the mayor, Mr W. Thompson. SHEERNESS REGATTA- This regatta took place August 19. The bill of fare for the day was prolific in sport, and in order to get through the list, com- prising 16 races, the time fixed for commencement was one o'clock. The judges were Commander J. K. Martyn, R. N.; Lieu- tenant E. Barkley, R. N., and Mr F. Martyn, of Her Majesty's Dockyard. The first event was A SAILING MATCH; first boat £ 4, second £ 2, third £ 1— for boats belonging to H. M.' s ships in the Sheerness Reserve, with service rig.— Kate ( Mr Beer) I, Leonidas ( Lieut Odevaine) 2, Water Lily ( Mr Tobias) 3, Mountain Maid ( Mr Honeysett) 0. On starting Kate took the lead, with the wind blowing strong from the westward. After turning the Nore for home the Leonidas passed to windward of the Lily and kept second place. DOCKYARD APPRENTICES' STAKES ; first boat £ 3, second £ 2, third £ 1; four- oared 20- feet cutter gigs; to be rowed by appren- tices in Her Majesty's Dockyard— Elegant ( H. Goater), Princess Alexandra ( F. England), Macaroni ( R. Heard), Jenny Lind ( J. Douglass), Invicta ( R. A. Conneil), Blink Bonny ( W. Tull), En- chantress ( G. Batt), Fire Queen ( J. Whalebone), True Blue ( G. Webb). The Princess and Jenny Lind rowed a dead beat, with True Blue third. The judges decided that the Princess Alexandra and Jenny Lind should have the first and second prizes between them, and True Blue the third prize. A MATCH, first boat £ 5. between the army and navy, two six- oared gigs — The Bad Shilling ( Lieut Haves) 1, Alacrity ( Mr Maxwell) 2. This was a match which raised a considerable amount of interest between the naval and army services, the crew of the Alacrity being of the navy, and The Bad Shilling the Royal Artillery. They went off well together, but had not gone far be- fore the crew of The Bad Shilling, owing to their excellent row- ing, soon gave the blue jackets the go- by; it being clearly seen that the Alacrity was the heavier boat. COAST GUARD 8 LAKES ; first boat £ 5, second £ 3, third £ 1 ; gigs belonging to the coast guard or revenue service ; to be manned by men belonging to the Sheerness district.— Mermaid ( Brock) 1 Good Intent ( Cole) 2, Water Witch ( Pearce) 3, Eclipse ( Geinett) 0, Despatch ( Jenkins) 0. The five boats kept well together to the buoy, where the Mermaid took the lead, closely followed by the Good Intent and the Water Witch, the Despatch pursuing them, and after a despirate race the Mermaid became the victor by a length and a half. DOCKYARD CRAFT STAKES; first boat £ 5, second £ 3, third £ 1; 24 or 20 feet gigs; to be rowed by men borne on the books of the Master Attendant.— Maid of Kent ( C. Thorn) 1, Excelsior ( W. Newbury) 2, Invicta ( S. Jarvis) 3, Chance ( J. Felton) 0. The Maid of Kent soon became the leading boat, and won the race by four boats' lengths. CAPTAIN SUPERINTENDENT'S STAKES; first boat £ 6, second £ 3, third £ 2, fourth £ 1 ; six- oared 30- feet gigs; to be rowed by men employed in H. M's. Dockyard.— Pembrokeshire Lass ( G Williams) 1, Whole Hog ( E. Thomas) 2, Cornish Lass( B. Cheese- man) 3, Sea Nymph ( W. Knight) 0, North Country Lass ( C. KEW, BRENTFORD, AND ISLEW0RTH REGATTA, Under the above title a regatta commenced at Kew 011 Saturday, August 15, but came to an unexpected termination after the second race, by the unfortunate death by drowning of the West London coxswain; the first race was the first heat of watermen's double sculling, and the second a pair- oared outrigged gig race, for which the West London, North London, and Twickenham rowing clubs had entered, the latter not coming to the post. The committee had made Kew their head- quarters, engaged the Maria Wood, & c, but most singularly had arranged that the races rowed up should start from Brentford ferry ( entirely out of sight) and row up to Isleworth; unfortunately there was a very stiff northwest wind blowing at the time— in fact, it might be described as blowing half a gale, for the course being in a wild open piece of water, one of the worst on the Thames, the waves rolled three or four feet high, owing to the wind setting against the tide. Some of the competi- tors would have preferred not starting in such water, but had no alternative except being scratched, and therefore the West Lon- don and North London pairs— manned respectively by Messrs H. J- Embleton, Rayment, and E. T. Einbleton ( cox), and J. Newell, W. Boucher, and Bone ( cox)— went t » theappointed spot, getting half full of water before they started, and after rowing about a quarter of a mile they fouled, the North Londoners coming dead across the others' bows; the umpire, however, started them afresh, in infinitely worse water than before, but the West London boat was now nearly swamped, and a wave catching her, she filled by the stern, and went down with the men in her. For a length of time it would seem the elder Embleton, who could swim, kept up his brother, who could not, but he was unfortu- nately separated from him by some means, and was drowned, the others barely escaping with their lives. They were in the water something like a quarter of an hour, and it struck those who wit- nessed the accident and expressed themselves very strongly upon it as exceedingly strange that for nearly half that time no steps were taken to save the young men, although the umpire's eight was within a few feet of them when they went down. Another la- mentable circumstance connected with the case also was that a large skiff, with but five persons in it, was close by, and although two gentlemen who witnessed the accident adjured them in mast moving terms to try and help the swamped crew, they abso- lutely refused to do so much as reach out one of th » oars to them, and the two poor young men who were saved were absolutely standing on the Middlesex shore a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes in their exhausted condition before they could be con- veyed to Kew, the occupants of this same skiff positively refusing to let them get into their boat and go down. Mr Roney, the bOG sec of the Ariel Rowing Ciub, ran down the towing path and soon procured the Rose and Crown drags, but no others were on the spot for some hours. At length a large body of the members, with some of the committee, dragged, and the body of the un- fortunate young man was found at about ten o'clock on Saturday night, August 15. In concluding our remarks, we must say that too much praise cannot be given to the whole of the gentlemen entered for the regatta for the manner in which they at once refused in a body to row, and but for whom it is very probable the regatta would not have been postponed, the committee having started two races after the accident. The 29th is the day spoken of for resuming the regatta. On Monday afternoon an inquest was held at the Rose and Crown, and the jury returned a verdict of Accidental Death. THE SAILING BARGE MATCH. The entries for this interesting match closed on Tuesday night, Aug 18, at the Harp, Harp- lane, Great Tower- street, when the fol- lowing barges were entered: — NAME. OWNER. CAPTAIN. 1. EMMA Landfleld W. Landfield 2. CLAUD Hamilton T. Bradley 3. UNICORN Hewitt C. Jones " 4. ALICE Farmer R. Collins 5. QUEEN CAROLINE .... Depkee G. Piatt 6. MARY Kosher J. Walker 7. ELIZA Cooper W. Rouse 8. W. II. D Dodd T. Munns 9. JAMES Robinson J. Robinson Many of the above are beautiful craft, and the Eliza is talked of as very fast. The following resolutions were passed at the closing of entries:— The barges are to be moored off the Lobster. No. 1 to the southward. Each barge to carry the flag supplied ( a large one with the number of the station in black on white ground) at the peak end. No. 1, a fair berth from the shore, south of the line. To leave the distance buoy on the port hand, and the winning buoy on the starboard hand, and to turn to the north- ward. The barges to be without ballast of any description. The question of a steamboat was then discussed, some difficulty arising as to the price of the tickets, and it was finally arranged that t he tickets be 5s each, to admit the bearer on board the Oread steamboat ( Capt Wheeler), which, with a band on board, will leave Blackwall en Wednesday next, Aug 26, on the arrival of the ten o'clock train from Fenc'hurch- street. Mr Massingham was then appointed treasurer of the steamboat affair, and Messrs Dodd, Hewitt, Groves, Massingham, and one or two others having gua- ranteed the payment of £ 34 expenses for a boat and band, the meeting broke up, and final arrangements were made on Wednes- day evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern. The prizes are to be £ 10, £ 7, and £ 5 respectively in cash, and the distance Gravesend to the Nore and back. LONDON ROWING CLUB. LAYTON FOURS.— This race is fixed for Saturday, Aug 22, and will be rowed from Putney Aqueduct to the lower end of Chis- wick Eyot, through centre arch of Hammersmith Bridge. The steamboat Rifleman will convey spectators, leaving London Bridge at 4: 30 p. m. The crews are :— DAVIS'S CREW. I FENNEK'S CREW. I HOOD'S CREW. 1. J. Bloxam 1. J. C. F. May 1. A. J. Hare 2. J.

E. Pinches I 4. G. Rvan 2. E. C. Money W. H. Lucas ( cox) 3. C. Hewett | The eight- oared race fixed for Aug 29 has been postponed. CORSAIR AND EXCELSIOR FOUR- OARED RACE The return race between these clubs comes off on Saturday, August 22, when, as we have received 110 intimation to the con- trary, we presume the same crews will contend as those which were engaged in the first, match 011 the 8t. h. The race will be rowed in gigs, from the Old Barge House, Woolwich, to the centre of Greenwich Hospital, and as that is a course which necessarily suits the Excelsiors, they are strongly the favourites, although their opponents defeated them on Saturday week. A steamboat has been engaged to accompany the race, leaving All Hallow's Pier, London Bridge, at three p. m., calling at the Landing Stage at the Excelsior Club House, Crown and Sceptre Hotel, Green- wich, at four o'clock. The crews will dine together after the race, at the Crown and Sceptre. WENTZELL'S ANNUAL REGATTA. The annual regatta for prizes given by Mr Andrew Wentzell, of the Ship, Fore- street, Limbeth, has been fixed for Monday, Aug 31, at Lambeth, when the following pair3 will contend, and a good race may be looked forward to :— FIRST HEAT. 1. W. F. Williams and Stratford Light Blue. 2. Aylmer and Boden Red and White. 5. Griffiths and Kilsby White. 4. Pearsalland Beckett Green. 6. Fountain and Salter Dark Blue. SECOND HEAT. 1. Crump and Benney Rlaclc. 2. Freshwater and Brown Yellow. 3. Lewe and Spencer Pink. 4. Spice and Taylor Red. The first two boats in each heat to row in the final. sailing committees, what their opinions were as to the expediency of the rule, and how far it had been fairly carried out; and as far as I can judge, the great preponderance of testimony was in its favour, and that on the whole, for a new rule, it had been quite strictly enough construed and enforced. Many persons, and some of them excellent judges of match sailing, doubted much whether any rule limiting the speed which can be got out of a boat in a race is a good one, and would prefer there being no check to the shifting or trimming of ballast; but all agree that if there be such a rule the best— nay only— way of preventing trimming is to for- bid the means from being on board, and that this in a great measure was accomplished. Some committees of clubs, in their desire to fully carry out the rule, liad introduced into their reso- lutions the words " suitable for" as well as " prepared for," and thereby created a bone of contention for themselves; as it was fairly argued that small handy pigs of lead, the shape into which many owners had converted their shot, were very suitable fer, even though not prepared for, shifting, and two or three vessels were mnch objected to in consequence of having such on board; by a little judicious give- and- take management, however, this was got over, and doubtful cases were sealed down, or hands put 011 board to look after them. But this should not occur next season ; the rule should be plainly and universally laid down that no billast prepared for shifting should be on board, nor any whatever shifted ; and there can be little difficulty in enforcing this prin- ciple if the various yacht clubs will pull together. Ti; e greatest stumbling- block to all improvements is this want of uniformity, which is strikingly illustrated by the fact that a leading club has, in the teeth of what was done by their brethren in the Channel, altered their own old standing rule against shifting ballast, as if on purpose to confuse the matter, ana have advertised their open race to be sailed " without any restriction 011 hands, sails, or ballast;" thereby, of course, putting those yachts which have been sailing in the matches on the Thames, and at Queenstown, Liverpool, Clyde, Dublin, and Cork, without any shot bags, at a great disadvantage when they meet vessels which have been at home, and are fully prepared with the whole apparatus for en abling them to carry spars and sails much larger than the shape of their hulls or the power of their class could enable them to do without trimmers. In conclusion, I would beg of all friends of yacht racing to put. their shoulders to the wheel in their respec- tive clubs, and either get a general and universal law passed which will do away with the carrying shot bags and such appur- tenances for trimming to windward, and so effectually prevent its being dene, or get all restrictions done away with. Let each man sail his yacht as he pleases, but do not let the former system go on— the honest man who valued rules sailing his yacht in com- pliance with them, and then having the mortification of being beaten by others in whose eyes he more than shrewdly suspected all rules were mere waste paper — Yours, & c, Aug 12. RED WITH WHITE MALTESE CROSS. SURBEY CHRISTCHURCH ( LAMBETH) AND OLD BARGE HOUSE REGATTA.— Thesixteenthannual pair- oared race amongtwelve free watermen and lightermen, hailing from the above places, was rowed on Monday, Aug 17, under the excellent management of George Rogers and George Griffiths, and the usual number of spectators assembled to witness it. The rowing right through was exceedingly good, and the men well earned the prizes which the liberality of the subscribers gave them, which were:— First boat £ 10, second £ 5, third £ 4, fourth £ 3, and the two last crews £ 2 each.— First heat: J. Taylor and C. Coombes 1, J. Brown and T Robinson 2, T. Johnson and J. Lowe 0. The course in this as well as the second heat was to start from Blackfriars Bridge and go round one of the piers of Hungerford New Bridge, down round Mr Dickens's Road, up to Hungerford Bridge, and down round Mr Dickens's Road again, finishing at the Old Barge House stairs. After they had started well together, Johnson and Lowe assumed the lead, and seemed to be doing well, when, owing to the rough- ness of the water, they were swamped at Waterloo Bridge, and necessarily became out of the race. By this time Taylor and Coombes bad passed Brown and Robinson, and maintained their position, but had to row hard to do so, Brown and Robinson sticking so closely to them that they only won by a length.— Second heat: J. Kilsby and J. Haslett 1, G. Rogers and T. Holmes 2, W. Wood and W. Taylor 0. The winners took a slight lead soon after starting, and holding it, won by two lengths, but the interest centred in the other boats, which changed places several times, each pair doing their very utmost to get a place in the final heat. Ultimately, however, Rogers and Holmes got the best of it, and rowed in second by a length.— Final heat: Taylor and Coombes 1, Kilsby and Haslett 2, Rogers and Holmes 3, Brown and Robinson 4. The two first boats came away with the lead, and there were soon two distinct races going on. Taylor and Coombes and the second pair battling for the £ 10, while Rogers and Holmes and Brown and Robinson were rowing a more severe race still for third money. About half way Taylor and Coombes had obtained a lead of a* bout a length, and although Kilsby and Haslett rowed them very severely all through, they could not alter the result, the leading pair going in first by two lengths. The third and fourth pairs passed and repassed several times till close to home, when Rogers and Holmes again proved the best lasters, and went third; the3< came in four lengths behind Kilsby and Haslett, and a length and a half separated them from Brown and Robinson. In this heat they started from Waterloo Bridge, and rowed down to Dickens's Road, up to Hungerford Bridge, down and up again, and finished as before at the Old Barge House stairs. GOOLE REGATTA.— This regatta was held on Aug 10 and 11. On the first day there were six races on the cards published by thecommittee, two sailing, two rowing, one sculling, and a punt hunt. For the Aire and Calder Cup, value £ 15 15s, for yachts under 12 tons, there were eight entries, viz, the Pearl, F. Hoare, 10 tons ; Shamrock, Capt Cator, R. N., 12tons; Frolic, J. W. Ro- binson, 6 tons ; Gnat, T. H. Oklman, 5 tons; Alabama, 1 ton, R. Chambers; Star, Capt Jewitt, 3 tons; Macaroni, R. Taylor, 3 tons; Brunette, H. T. Watson, 9 tons, schooner. There was an allowance of 15 seconds per ton, but the race was easily won by the Star, an American- built boat, having a centre board, which can be moved up or down; Shamrock second. Six started for the second prize, for open boats, £ 5 5s, £ 2 2s, and £ 1 Is. It was won by the Octoroon, R. Speck, a boat which had been built in nine days, and had been launched only two days before; Daring se- cond, Beeswing third. In consequence of a misunderstanding as to which side of the flagboat they should go, the £ 5 prize for shipyard four- oared boats was divided between the Night Thought and the Merry Lass.— The jollyboat race, for £ 3, second £ 1, was won by The Friends; and the sculling and ARCHERY.

IRISH NATIONAL MEETING- This meeting was brought to a close on Friday, Aug 14, with the usual handicap. The shooting on Thursday, into which, owing to the inclement weather on Wednesday, nearly the whole of two Y'ork Rounds was thrown, was of the most magnificent character. Mrs Horniblow, the championess of England, made the high score of 691, with 133 hits, and won the Irish Champion Bracer; but she was tied at the hits at 50 yards bv Miss Betham, who took the second prize with a score of 607. Miss Betham gives promise of becoming a distinguished archer. At the 50 yards distance on Thursday, she only missed one arrow, having hit the target 41 times out of the four dozen arrows discharged on the two rounds. There was also some excellent shooting by Miss Popham, Miss Warde, Mr Coulsoa, Mr Atkinson ( the ex- Irish champion), Mr Walters, Mr Peter Purves, & c. The prizes were :— Ladies : The Champion Bracer, Mrs Horni- blow ( Leamington) ; first merit prize for greatest gross score, £ 8, to Mrs Horniblow, score 691; second ditto, £ 6, Miss Betham ( County Dublin Archers), score 607; third ditto, £ 5.

MR EDITOR: AS the principal regattas iri St George's Channe for the season of 1863 are now over, it appears a proper time to make a few observations 011 the working of the ruie under which they were for the first time held— viz, that no bags of shot or other ballast for the purpose of shifting or trimming to windward should be on board any yacht while sailing for the prizes offered at them. I endeavoured as well as I could during the season to find out from yacht owners, their skippers and crews, and from th the little Star by one minute; the latter had broken her tiller early in the race. The Florie was leading and looked like win- ding, but broke her main halyards. The Octoroon was again an easy victor of the second class yachts, Daring second, Alice third. The Night Thought obtained the Ladies' Purse for four- oared boats. An extra prize, given by H. T. Watson and the regatta committee for boats of steamers, was won, after a fine race, by the Contest.— There was again a jolly boat race, sculling match, and punt hunt. A Cup, value £ 8 8s, for six- oared boats, pulled by amateurs, was won, after a very poor race, by the Alexandra, of the Kingston Rowing Club. The only ether com- petitor was the Victoria, of the Victoria Rowing Club. The greatest credit is due to Mr Superintendent Green and the police officers under his command, not a single oomplaint of robbery having been reported. GOATLEY AND JERVIS, £ 15 A SIDE.— These men— the one a waterman and the other a landsman of Gravesend— contended on Monday, Aug 17, for the above sum, the course being from Cliff Creek to Northfieet Creek. The steamboat Doris had been char- tered to accompany the race, but did not make her appearance at twelve, the appointed time. The tide soon turned, and at half- past one the Fairy came down, being substituted for the Doris. The celebrated Dewardt, beaten bj- Green in Australia, took up Jervis, and Sam Grant did the same for Goatley ; Thomas Loft was umpire for Jervis, and Mr Walter for Goatley, Capt Leming- ton of the Fairy being referee. Jervis's boat, j. a large craft, was broken in the launch, and another, but smaller, called the Lii tie Wpnder. substituted. The accident caused the betting to veer round from 6 to 4 on Jervis to the like odds on Goatley, wuo bad a large boat, a very heavy- sea running at the time. They got away beautifully together, the Little Wonder behaving very pro- perly, and not filling like Goatley's boat, which shipped water at every stroke. Goatley, however, soon left his opponent, and in the course of a mile led by 50 yards. This he increased to 100 in the next mile ; but about a mile and a half below Coal House Point a heavy sea breaking over his boat she went down. Jervis then came up, and rowed home by himself, Goatley being picked up by his cutter, and taken on board the Fairy. 80 unfortunate a termination will no doubt cause Goatley's party to make another match. SUBBITON REGATTA.— This annual regatta will take place on Thursday, Sept 3, by twelve watermen and others employed at the boat house and by Mr J.

MATCH FOR THE CHAMPION CHALLENGE CUP AND £ 200.— An exciting swimming contest came off on Monday evening, Aug 17, between E. B. Mather of Manchester, the holder of the cham- pion's cup, and F. E. Beckwith of London, well known for the last 10 years as a successful swimmer and teacher of the art, and formerly champion. The stake was for the champion's cup and £ 200, the course from the Doves, justabove Hammersmith Suspen- sion Bridge, to the Aqueduct Bridge at Putney, a little over two miles. Two steamers ( the Victoria and the River Queer:) had bees engaged bv the London Swimmum oi-- ; s * J • ••-—- * .- no to accompany the race, ana ooth were crowded with the friends and backers of the competitors. The event excited considerable interest along the river; both banks, as well as Hammersmith and Putney Bridges, were covered with spectators, and in spite of the unfavourable weather an extraordinary number of weil- filled small boats were out. By the exertions of two Thames police galleys, under the con- trol of Inspectors Dell and King, and the committee of the Lon- don Swimming Club, this numerous flotilla was marshalled into something like order, and prevented from fouling the competitors or putting each other in peril. Mather, who earned the victory over Gardrer for the champion's cup in June last, is a fine well- built young man of 22, who bids fair, when his physical powers are fully developed, to be even a finer swimmer than he is at pre- sent. His antagonist, Beckwith, is a man 16 years his senior. Though much less in stature and size than his youthful opponent, he had, with a fine muscular development, a wiry enduring look that justified the good opinion of his backers. Betting was in his favour at 5 to 4 before starting, much greater odds being offered before tlie end of the racer Clad only in short tightly- fitting swimming drawers, the men took their stands on a plank lashed across the bows of the River Queen, Mather on the Middlesex and Beckwith on the Surrey side. The umpires were Gardner for Beckwith and Mr W. Blackmore for Mather, Mr Westhall being referee. On the signal for the start being given at 6: 30, Beckwith took the water in rather the best style, coming up a few feet in advance. Both men swam rapidly but easily to Hammer- smith Bridge, which was passed with Beckwith retaining the slight lead lie had won at starting. They swam on their sides, facing each other, in which position the leading hand makes a stroke outward and downward, the other making the stroke along the front of the body, the crown of the head acting as a cutwater. In this position, which is founded on sound philosophical principles, very little of the body is seen above the surface, and the head is supported by being almost entirely immersed. This style of move- ment has the negative merit of being exceedingly graceful, and the positive advantage of being much less fatiguing'than the ordinary mode, while enabling the swimmer to make much more rapid progress. Soon after passing Hammersmith, Mather lessened the gap, and at the Distillery swam up even with Beckwith. In this position they remained to the Soap Works Bridge, the pace being tremendous, and the exertions of both very great, when Beckwith again drew ahead, but Mather again closed the interval between them. This occurred several times, but Mather never succeeded in drawing ahead of his antagonist. At the end of the first mile, which, with the ebb tide, had been accomplished in a few seconds under a quarter of an hour, Beckwith went determinedly to the front, and at Craven Cottage led by seven er eight lengths, widen- ing the distance to a greater extent than he had ever done before. He appeared also to swim more buoyantly than his youthful an- tagonist, who struggled gallantly but unavailingly to overtake him. This relative position was maintained until opposite Simmons's boat yard, when Mather, who was 15 or 20 yards in the rear, dis- continued the contest, in consequence of feeling unwell, and from being hampered by his drawers being disarranged, and was taken into his umpire's boat. Beckwith, amid the cheers of the specta- tors, finished the race alone, completing the distance in 31min 58sec. The winner trained at T. Tagg's Moulsey, and Mather, at Putney. ILEX CLUB.— A meeting of this club will be held on Monday, Aug 24, at seven p. m., at the Lambeth Baths, to make arrange- ments for providing swimming instruction for the members. The prevalent idea which at present exists among the committee is that ( luring the winter months a chance shall be given to all rowing men of learning to swim, in a class, which will cost them nothing beyond the annual subscription. The lamentable acci- dent at Kew on Saturday, Aug 15, by which the West London Rowing Club lost their little coxswain, calls for something^ - his kind, and the subscription to this club being merely a no\ "" one, members of rowing clubs who cannot swim cannot do b^. than at, once join this club, and learn this useful and much net? ___ art. Those, too, who belong to the club and have not yet learnt to" swim will do well to attend the meeting of the club on Monday, Aug 24, when a strong muster is expected. The proposed river race for Friday, Aug 28, has been postponed. A race, open to members of the Twickenham Rowing Club, for a handsome silver prize, the gift of B. H. Birchill, Es- q, distance a quarter of a mile, came off on Wednesday morning, Aug 19, in the river below Orleans House, Twickenham. Ten started, Le Blanc Smith and J. Yearsley being the first to show in front. After a short distance they were joined by F. Grant and G. Barrett, and a good race ensued till opposite General Peel's, where Yearsley dropped astern, and left the struggle to the other three. Smith went on, and won rather easily by six lengths, Barrett second, two lengths ahead of Grant. Bridgett fourth, and Vertue fifth, close up, the rest tailed off. Smith and Grant are both recent winners of prizes given by the Ilex Swimming Club. THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT PLACE.— Professor Beck- with, so many years the great promoter of this art, is again at the top of the tree. A number of noblemen and gentlemen have formed themselves into a committee to get this great swimmer a substantial token of their admiration of his praiseworthy con- duct in the shape of a good bumping benefit, which takes place at the Lambeth Baths, 011 Wednesday, Aug 26, when, besides the great, attraction of seeing the Champion and his family in their graceful acts of natation, the quarter of a mile championship of England will be swam for, and causes a deal of excitement and speculation in sporting circles. The sports will commence at eight p. m. Admission Is and 2s 6d, numbered seats 5s. PIGEON FLYING— w. Cancileft's Slasher pigeon shall fly any pigeon within 20 or 30 miles of Darlaston, for £ 10 or £ 20, or any pigeon a home and home match, for the same. Money- ready at Mr E. Jones's, Rose and Crown, Cock- street, Darlaston, South Staffordshire. W. Holmes of Osmaston- street, Derby, will fly his pigeon against R. Eaton's of the same place 50 m'iles, two roads, for £ 5 a side each road; or any other fancier in Derby can be on on the same terms. A match can be on by calling'at J. Cowleshaw's, Prince of Wales, London- road; or J.' Coxon's, Hill- street, Derby. To fly in two weeks from the first deposit. 6 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, AUGUST 16, 1863. THE RING.

GOSS AND MACE. The final staking of £ 330 to £ 220, for this great event takes place at Bill Richardson's, Blue Anchor, Churchstreet, Shore- ditch, on Wednesday evening, Aug 26, when all preliminaries are to be settled, including the toss for tWe weighing. Seldom has a match excited more interest, and we sincerely trust such arrangements may be come to as will ensure its coming off without let or hindrance. Mace is the favourite at 6 to 4, odds which have been pretty freely taken. We are re- quested to state that Mace, who is in training at the Five Bells, at Finchley, is bang up to the mark, and under his weight. His colours are to be had at Mr Richardson's. Goss is in training at Mr l'upper's, at Ash, near Aldershott, and is als> perfectly well; indeed, he writes to us that he never knew before what it was to ^ e well; and he says, if he is beaten, it will be on his merits. He quests that those gentlemen who promised to stand money with ui will send it either to Mr Webley, Red Cow, Dudley- street, ' verhampton ; or to Mr Tupper, Blue Boar's Head, Long- acre. ^- Oichardson has requested us to say, on the part of Mace, that rri or lose the toss for the weighing, he intends to go to scale at twelve o'clock precisely, wherever theceremcny is to take place. THE £ 2,000 MATCH. HEENAN AND TOM KING — Let it not be forgotten that these men are to meet in person on Thursday evening, Aug 27, at the Horse Shoe, Tichborne- street, Haymarket, to make a further deposit, when there is expected to be an extraordinary muster of the right sort. It is long since a pugilistic meeting of any kind has been held at Owen's, and doubtless he will find it a hard matter to accommodate all. It is to be hoped Owen's name may be the means of attracting many of the old sort who have long turned a cold shoulder on the Ring and its doings. THE CHAMPIONSHIP. MACE AND RYALL — Among all the great affairs on the tapis, this event seems almost to be forgotten, owing partly to the other events, and partly to the smallness of the deposits, and the un- ostentatious way in which they are made. We have received £ 5 a side this week, and have to remind the men that each must stake a fiver on Friday, Aug 28. BOB TRAVERS AND JEM DILLON. We have received the following ill- advised letter from Bob Traver :— TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR : My life is before the world, still I cannot close my career in the arena without expressing a few words to the public upon the subject of my late engagement with Dillon, which to myself has been the most unatisfactory of any encounter I have ever had. I have fought thirteen battles within eight years, and been successful eight times out of that number. They who witnessed my over- throw by Dillon, can amply account for it. I was never less punished than then. My only consolation is that they who saw it are aware how entirely derogatory to all the principles of the Eing my defeat has been. I have now to record a fact which has not been properly published to the world, namely, the receipt of a blow in the abdomen early in the fight, which occasioned a rupture of some of the vessels of the bladder, and thus produced hemorrhage, a state of things which continued for an hour and a half before the contest was stopped by the authori- ties. In the Prize Ring such a stratagem has never been known, and I have been defeated by an artifice never recog- nised in the Ring. When it was found that this " foul blow" had incapacitated me from entering the Ring a third time on the day, not that the battle could possibly have been renewed, had I appeared, inasmuch as the authorities were present to prevent the continuance of the struggle, I ask, in common fairness, why should the battle have been decided against me, when a " draw" had been previously declared and agreed to. There are plenty of precedents of drawn battles under similar circumstances, to wit, the case of Rooke and Reardon, wherein Harry Layton for Reardon, and Alec Keene for Rooke, mutually agreed to a " draw" some two hours after the fight, and the same referee, who acted in my case, permitted and confirmed the decision in that, whilst Reardon wastotally blind and much punished. Now, it is admitted by all and denied by none, that I had the best of the fighting from the beginning to trie end. A good deal has been said about my hands being so puffed and gone as to be comparatively useless. This I most solemnly deny, and your own account of the fight proves that my right hand was very effectively used in the second ring up to the close of the engagement. Had I been honourably beaten I should have no cause of complaint, but to he thus unex- pectedly stripped of the crowning iaurel, which, but for the in- ternal injury produced by the " foul," was inevitable, is a conclu- sion that would be unworthy my name to have passed over with- out some explanation to the public, and I trust, sir, to your sense of justice, for giving publicity to this communication, in order that the public may know that I do not for a moment con- sider myself to have been fairly beaten by Dillon. The decision, however, has been given which awarded the battle money to Dillon, and it is not, therefore, my province now to find fault with the referee's fiat, whatever may be my own conviction as to the system of partiality manifested by that gentleman throughout the fight.— I am, sir, yours obediently, BOB TEAVERS. We have few remarks to make on the subject of this epistle and they shall be to the point. Travers says, in the first place, he was hit " foul," and that this " stratagem" was the eaue of his defeat. He utterly ignores the fact that no appeal whatever was made to the referee on the subject, and he is perfectly aware that his own friends admit that the blow, if the injury really was the result of a blow, was perfectly accidental. He nexttakes up the question of the alleged declaration of the referee that the fight was a draw, and attempts to compare the case with that of Rooke and Reardon, in which there was a mutual agree- ment to draw, and no desire ever expressed for a renewal of the contest, while in his case matters assumed a totally different as- pect— the only persons proposing a draw being one of Dillon's backers and one of Travers's seconds, the other backers of Jem and that pers m himself not b ing cousu ted. In Rooke and Reardon's case we have no record that either man desired to renew the bat- tle. As to Bob's hands we had the admission of all his own friends to confirm the statement of our reporter, and with regard to his concluding accusation against the referee for partiality ma- nifested against him throughout the fight, we have only to say that this accusation is a. deliberate falsehood, which simply recoils on Bob's own head. He knowsquiteas well as we do that he received throughout the greatest indulgence from the referee, and that had that functionary been more strict in the discharge of his duty, Bob certainly might have escaped the injuries which he alleges caused him to lose the battle, but he certainly would have lost it much sooner than he did from falling without a blow, which he re- peatedly did during the mill, and for which he was more than once cautioned. This is not the first time he has charged our re- presentative with partiality, and indeed we ourselves have not been free from the attacks of himself and some of his backers who should have known better, who have abused us when we have decided against him, on similar grounds, after repeated warnings. Once before we commented with some severity upon a letter from Travers, somewhat similar to the present one, and had Bob intended to continue his career in the Ring, we might have said more than we have on the sub- ject of the epistle above printed. By every rule of fair play he lost the battle on Tuesday week, and his attempt to con- ceal his defeat under a complaint of want of fair play, is as weak as it is ill- advised. We are sorry he has been persuaded to write this letter, and could well have wished . he had allowed bye- gones to be bye- gones, as we were content to do, and not to rake up the old associations connected with the tumble down system of which he was so general a practitioner. We do not attribute the habit to want of courage, as we are convinced a gamer man does not ex sfe, but it is a habit which he allowed to grow upon him, and which he perhaps would at once have relinquished had we and others who have officiated as referees during his career been firmer in enforcing Rule XIII. in all its strictness. We now take leave of this mat er, and in conclusion hope that Bob's known civility and attention to business will ensure him that support which he deserves, and that in future he will bear in mind the motto " Defend us from our friends," and will also refrain from abusing those whose only desire is ta ensure fair play, and to carry out the rules of the Ring with a due regard for the interests of the combatants. RULE XIII. The following is the letter to which we alluded in our last on the subject of the 13th Rule of the Ring, and the getting down system:— TO THE EDITOR OF BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON. SIR: It is, I believe, the opinion of very many who take an interest in the Ring that the time has arrived when it has become a matter of necessity to introduce into the rules laid down by the P. B. Association some clause which shall lighten the onus now placed on him who acts as referee, immensely increased since the introduction of Rule XIII., which empowers him to give the fight at once against the combatant who has, in his opinion, fallen without being hit down, and prevent those continued appeals from the seconds which, in the present day, commence with the fight, and continue throughout the contest. To effect this much desired object I would suggest the following alteration in the existing ruie3 of the Ring:— That the office of umpire be abolished, but that there sl: all be, instead of one, two referees, either mutually agreed upon, appointed by the stakeholder, or by some one selected by the men or their representatives, and that their mutual decision shall be final on every p > iut connected with the fight. I wish it to be clearly and fully understood that I do not in the slightest degree reflect upon any decision by the gentleman who has on so many occa- sions accepted the unenviable and at all times thankless office of referee, who I would always gladly see acting as one of; the chosen referees; but I do consider it is so difficult and so nice a point to decide whether a man is fought down, goes down from the effect of his own blow, swings himself down when missing with his right, being perhaps weak at the time, slips from accident, or goes down wilfully to avoid a blow, that it is imposing too great a responsibility upon any one man to call for his individual and unassisted decision. The seconds are to clearly understand that from this time any appeal coming from tliem will not only be unattended to, but the fact of their making an appeal will empower the referee to give the fight against that man from whose corner the appeal is made. With the responsi- bility thus lightened, and saved from the continual and annoying appeals from the seconds, I am of opinion there would be less difficulty in finding two willing to act as referees than there is at present in persuading one to take upon himself the objection- . ^ office. The combatants themselves would be better pro- ' etf- and the public who bet upon fights. I shall feel obliged ''<-> your placing my suggestion before the committee of the as- * yCiation.— Your obedient servant^ FAIR PLAY. On this letter we have a few remarks to make; and doubtless, also, it may draw forth other observations from our readers. In the first place " Fair Play" has evidently forgotten the wording of the 13th rule, which, for his information, we reprint :— " XIII. That it shall be a fair ' stand- up fight/ and if either man shall wilfully throw himself down without receiving a blow, whether blows shall have previously been exchanged or not, he shall be deemed to have lost the battle; but that this rule shall not apply to a man who in a close slips down from the grasp of his opponent to avoid punishment, or from obvious accident or From this it will be seen that the rule says nothing about " falling without being hit down," but simply empowers the referee to decide against a man wilfully throwing himself down. There is also ample provision for the exercise of discretion in case of weakness or accident— a discretion, we are bound to say, almost invariably exercised to the extent of license; indeed, we do not know of a case in which the referee has not erred on the side of leniency. Secondly, the appealsof seconds are provided against by Rule IV, which distinctly says the referee shall withhold any opinion until appealed to by the umpires. We now come to " Fair Play's'' new rule, which proposes to abolish the office of umpires, and establish two referees, whose mutual opinion shall be final. Setting aside the difficulty and almost impossibility of procuring one referee, let alone two, we would ask, in the case of these officials differing, who shall decide ? It has been suggested by our correspondent that, to provide against this, let a third referee be appointed by the stakeholder. This, in our humble opinion, would, instead of simplifying the matter, leave it very much as it stands at present, with the exceptions that, instead of the judges being called umpires and referee, their title would be referees, and we or any other stakeholders would be placed in a more difficult fix than we have been hitherto, as w. e should have to find three responsible persons instead of one. As to the difficulty in deciding as to whether a man is fought down, or whether he is so weak that he falls down at a distance from his opponent in his efforts to deliver, or whether he delibe- rately throws himself down, we submit that no such difficulty exists, and that any common observer who has ever seen a mill could decide the point at once on its merits, without incurring any responsibility whatever. It must not be forgotten that the rules of the Ring wefe especially framed to lessen the danger attendant on pri 7 - combats. That the object of such combats is to encoura^ the love of fair play by giving each man every chance of that very fair play, and, at the same time, discourage the prolongation t> f contests after a man's physical exhaustion has deprived him of the power of exhibitinghis skill and courage with any other ob- ject than displaying his so- called " gluttony," and perhaps availing himself of an off- chance of a foul blew or an accident to win the money. We consider that if a man is so reduced by weakness that he falls down in attempting to hit, he ought to lose the battle, and it is the duty of his seconds to take him away. A man in such a state of prostration is far more likely than not to injure himself, and clearly is not in a fit state to continue a contest. It is true that the backers of the men have a right to do the best they can to win their money, but that " best" must be confined within the rules of fair play as provided for in the rules of the Ring, and in future we shall uphold every referee who may consent to act, in carrying out his duties, with proper allowances of course, in the strictest manner. We cannot too often impress upon the public, and especially upon backers of pugilists, that the mere fact of blows being exchanged does not justify a man in throwing himself down, or falling without a blow. We are obliged to our correspondent for his suggestion. We know him to be a lover of the P. R., and a practical judge of the duties of referee and umpire, but on this occasion we think he has not quite hit the right nail on the hearl We think the present rules cannot well be bettered, but if he can suggest some means to prevent the seconds from interfering with the referee or with their principals during the rounds, and also for protecting the referee from insult and unmanly threat*, he will indeed confer a boon on the P. R. We are sorry to sa%" that, with few exceptions, the Ring constables have proved themselves incompetent for this latter duty, and, unless there is shortly some improvement, it will be utterly impossible to get a referee at all; and then, indeed, we may bid farewell to the Ring for ever. ROBERT DACKEN AND BILL HAVVKES.— These men, who were matched for £ 10 a side, met on Thursday, Aug 20, on the home circuit. Dacken, who is 22, oft 7in, and" weighed when he last scaled 9st 41b, has fought twice within the ropes. Hawkes, who is 19, 5ft 5in, and turned the beam at 9sfc 61b, is quite an untried lad, although he comes of a good milling stock, and was brought out under the auspices of W. Saunders. Hawkes had for his seconds his brother Jerry and a sporting pub; Johnny Walker of Stoney Stratford and Lockes doing the requisite for Dacken. Hawkes from the commencement took a decided lead, and in the eleventh round gained first blood from a fine left- hander on the nose. For fully three- quarters of an hour Hawkes maintained the advantage, getting on his opponent very effectually. Towards the close of the battle, and when he was considered to have the winning card in hand, however, he gave the most unequivocal signs of wishing to leave off, and finally cut up one of the most unmitigated curs that ever stepped within the ropes. There were in the whole 37 rounds fought, in lh 46min, when, as Hawkes, much to the disgust of his friends, would not continue the contest any longer, the sponge had to be thrown up in token of defeat, and Dacken, who is a promising young fellow, hailed the winner. R. BLANDFORD AND J. KITCHEN.— On Saturday, August 15, these men, who were restricted to list 61b, met on the home circuit, and fought, for £ 10 a side. Blandford had fer seconds Dooney Harris and Old " Pug," while Fred Dickenson and J. Tagg waited on Kitchen, who won the toss for corners. Neither of the men were endowed with the least science, but from the com- mencement they fought in a rough and ready manner, evincing a laudable desire to make up by resolution for deficiency in artistic skill. First blood was obtained by Kitchen in the opening bout from the kisser, and this for the moment led his friends to imagine he was about to take a decided lead. There were in the whole 15 rounds fought, in 25 minutes, in the last of which Blandford sent his man to grass with a fine right hander on the jaw, when, as Kitchen was in no condition to resume the tourney, the sponge was thrown up in token of defeat. HAREY ALLEN AND COYNE OF BIRMINGHAM — These men, it may be recollected, were to have fought at 9st 121b, for £ 15 a side, on the 4th of August, but owing ta their not agreeing to a referee, and the interference of the authorities, no fight took place. Several meetings have since taken place, but no arrangements have been corne to. Allen is anxious to fight any time, but from all accounts Coyne holds back, and our correspondent at Birmingham writes us word that he is authorised to state that Coyne's backer will have nothing more to do with the affair. We have no power in the matter. The men must settle it between themselves. W. FOLEY AND HAMMER DAVIES— These men met on Monday, Aug 10, to fight at catch weight for £ 10 a side, but after con- tending for 18 rounds were interrupted by the authorities. They have drawn the money. WALKER AND WYNES.— The backers of Walker last week claimed forfeit © n his behalf in this match, because Wynes's money was not staked at some public- house, but forwarded to us. They have again applied this week. The only reply we have to make is that as Wynes's money was in our hands in time to be acknowledged in aur last, no forfeit is claimable. The match must go on. The hint as to taking proceedings to recover the alleged forfeit is preposterous. Walker must either continue to send bis money weekly or forfeit. We have only one rule in these matters. GODFREY AND DREW.— Andy Godfrey of Hull and J. Drew are matched, for £ 50 a side, to fight on October 8 in the London district at 8st lib. Nat Langham holds the first deposit of £ 2 a side. The next deposit of £ 3 a side is to be made at Bob Travers's, Sun and Thirteen Cantons, on Wednesday. We see by the articles the onus of appointing a referee is thrown upon us. We need hardly say that, after the abuse showered upon our representative for doing his duty last week, we must decline the honour. COOKEY AND DICK FELLOWS OF BIRMINGHAM.— The match for £ 20 between these Birmingham men is going on, Cookey to be catch weight and Fellows 8st 101b. T. Cooper, of Market Hall Tavern, Bell- street, who is final stakeholder, has in hand £ 15. The final deposit is to be made on Monday, Aug 24, at Mat Bowers's, Leopard Inn, Gooch- street. FERGUSON AND HEYWOOD.— Articles have been signed on behalf of Bill Ferguson and Harry Heywood ( both of Salford), to fight at catch weight, on Sept 8, Ferguson staking £ 12 10s to £ 10. The first deposit of £ 2 10s has been paid on behalf of Ferguson, and £ 2 for Heywood. HOLDEN AND LEAD.— These lads are once more to the front with £ 2 10s each. They are to stake the final deposit of £ 10 each at Bill Tupper's, Blue Boar's Head, Long- acre, on Wednesday, Aug 25. Both are in active training. MORRIS AND ROBERTS.— Peter Morris and Morris Roberts have again forwarded £ 5 each, a performance which they will be good enough to repeat next week. BURGESS AND SMITH.— These lads have again sent £ 5 each. The next deposit of £ 5 each will be due on the 25th inst, at Jem Brown's, Caledonian Vaults, Naylor- street, Liverpool. ROOK AND REARDON.— Another deposit of £ 5 a side for this match must be made on the 28th inst, at our effice. Patsy is now staying at Mr Ward's, Ironfounders' Arms, Greenwich. COOPER'S BIG- UN AND MARSDEN.— For this match we have to acknowledge £ 5 from Cooper arid £ 2 10s from Marsden ; the latter must send £ 2 10s next week. ALLEN AND COYNE.— Coyne declines to come to any terms with Allen in their match, and demands his money back. We cannot make it a draw without mutual oonsent. YOUNG WELSH OF BIRMINGHAM AND HAWKES.— AS these men cannot come to terms they had better meet at our office on Thursday, Aug 27, at eleven, to arrange matters. BALDOCK AND GANNON.— These men have again staked £"> a side. The next deposit is to be made at Mr Clarke's, Goldsmith's Arms, Little Button- street, Clerkenwell, on Thursday next. JACKSON AND BANDOFF.— These men have again posted £ 2 each, and must be ready with like amounts on Friday next. MORRIS AND TYSON.— These men's deposit is made good. Each must bring £ 5 on Friday week. We cannot insert challenges from unknown men unless pro- perly authenticated. Neither can we in future insert acceptances of challenges where no address is given by the challenger, unless uuder peculiar circumstances. G. Henly, hearing that Lynch is not satisfied with the last dose, will accommodate him again upon the same terms, Henly to be 9st 21b, Lynch catch weight, for £ 50 a side. Deposit ready at Dan Collins's, Ship, Long- lane, Bermondsey, where articles can be drawn up. Should Lynch not accept, Young Bodger Crutchley, or any other man, can find a job at 9st 21b. Jim Fox of Birmingham will fight Dollar White of Hales owen at 8st 21b, for £ 25 a side, or any other man can be on at 8st for the like amount. By covering the £ 2 in our hands and sending articles to Mat Bowers, Leopard Inn, Gooch- street, a match can be on. Mic M'Cabe will fight any one in Birmingham at 7st 101b, or any one in London at the like weight, for £ 25 a side, if they will allow £ 5 expenses to fight in the London district. If a deposit is sent to Bell's Life, and articles to Mat Collinson, Thatched House Tavern, Duddeston- row, Birmingham, a match can be on. Moggey Goode of Leicester having recovered from his late ill- ness will fight Melville ( alias Legs) of Birmingham, for £ 25 a side. Money ready at T. Cooper's, Market Hall Tavern, Bell- street, Bull Ring, Birmingham. Dan Crutchley of Birmingham will fight Morris Phelan at 9st, for £ 50 a side, or his own sum. If a deposit is sent to Bell's Life, and articles to Mr Ledbrook's, Star Inn, Milk- street, Birmingham, a match can be on.

Wild's, Prince of Wales Inn, Wombwell, any time. G. Crockett has a novice he will back against any other novice at 7st 21b or 7st 41b, for £ 10 or £ 15 a side. A deposit sent to Bell's Life, and articles to Crockett, at Mr Richardson's, will ensure the match. W. Bayley of Birmingham will fight J. Starkey or H. Willock, at 9st 61b or catch weight, for £ 10 a side. A match can be made at any time at W. Hudson's, Red Lion, Bishop- street South. Young Dooley wishes to fight Dove on his own terms, and has left a sovereign in our hands for Dove to cover.

He has received many promises, and requests that all friends will forward their proxies as soon as possible to the Three Tuns, Moor- street, as the election is shortly coming off. JEM DILLON.— This game boxer has received £ 5 from Mr J. B., which has been placed in our hands, towards purchasing a belt, and he hopes that others who admire true pluck and determina- tion will follow his example. Dillon requests us to state that he is not an Irish cockney but a true Irishman, having been born in Limerick on 10th March, 1838. Jem can be backed for one more shy against any man at 9st 121b, for £ 200 a side. To fight in six months.

On Thursday, Aug 13, a portion of an Eleven of Surrey Club gentlemen appeared on the Trafford Ground to contend against eleven gentlemen of Manchester. A certain gentleman who should have played for the former having at the last moment gone over to the enemy, another called away on important busi- ness, and an eleventh man not to be procured at any price, put them rather up a tree. The wires, however, being worked, quickly brought an excellent man in a Smith, to the no small delight of Surrey. It always is wet at Manchester— that is quite certain— so an offer of a Mackintosh was gladly accepted," and Mr Pavne kindly consented to make up the team The hon e party having won the toss obtained 108, Mr Barber playing well for half a century. The Surrey gentlemen fell short of this by 22, Mr J. D. Walker and Mr Calvert distinguishing themselves, the gentleman who ought to have played for them adding to his previous misconduct by obtaining several of their wickets. This ended the first day's play. Rather a wet night, but bright morning. Manchester, in their second innings, made 156, the Messrs Rowley, Barber, and Perera playing well; and Mr Bousfleld and Whittington quickly put their runs to- gether. The Surrey Gentlemen have to thank Mr J. Walker for his good bowling, or the score would have been enlarged— 179 to win, rather a long score for the last innings. The " Vyse" man expressed his opinion in the most sanguine manner that the runs would be got; the " Old Cricketer,'' as will be seen, was quite right. Mr Calvert and Mr Horner played with great judgment; and to their excellent start may be attributed the ultimate suc- cess of the Surrey Gentlemen by two wickets. Mr Dowson, though not quite so powerful in his hitting as we have seen him, assisted with 26. Mr J. D. Walker was, unfortunately, run out when he was well in— eight wickets for 149— when " Solomon," bsnt on victory and beaming with smiles, joined Mr V. E. Walker, and the required number of runs were obtained by tw ® o'clock on Saturday, Aug 15. The Manchester Gentlemen lost the bowling services of Mr A. Rowley for the last 100 runs.

The play on both sides was good, and the fielding ad- mirable. Some splendid catches were made by Messrs Templar, Housell, and Majendie, and the bowling of Messrs Curgenven, Hounsell, Toye, and Sehreiber was very effective. It was a well contested game, and gave great satisfaction to all parties con- cerned. The analysis of the bowling deserves attention. Score: f DORSET. lst inn 2dinn H.

This match was played at Eton on July 15, and terminated in favour of Mr Evans's, greatly to the astonishment of all parties, in one innings and 58 runs. Mr S. Lyttelton's bowling could not be looked at, the wickets being bad. For Evans's the two Lyt- teltons, A( ly, Wickens, Fremantle, Horner, and Drummond played well, the latter scoring a nine, three overthrows. Score: EVANS'S. S. J. Fremant. le, b Lubbock — 13 H. M.

Kay to be stakeholder and referee. The game to be 61 shots up. Playing to commence at half- past three. TEASEL AND GRAHAM.— A home and home match has been made between these men ( both of Poplar), for £ 5 a side, 18 yards, stiff clay ends, hobs level, 41 up, with 8- inch quoits. The first game will take place on Saturday, Aug 22, at the Greenwich Pen- sioner, Bow- lane, Poplar; and " the second at the William the Fourth, High- street, Poplar, on Monday, Aug 24. The scores of both games to be added together. G. Robson, of the William the Fourth, High- street, Poplar, has a youth he will back to play Marshall of Blackheath, for £ 10 or £ 15 a side, at 21 yards, stiff sticking clay ends, quoits not to ex- ceed 8 inches, hobs level, to measure from the centre of the hob ; or he will play Carter of Bermondsey, 18 yards, for the like amount. Either of these matches can be made at the above house on Monday evening, Aug 24. The quoit matches, at Dan Collins's, Ship, Long- lane, Ber- mondsey, continue to attract the elite of the Fancy. Admirers of the game will find a good ground, good company, good viands, and good beverages. Dan is at home for tips, & c. WRESTLING.— Mr Holden has now received £ 10 each on account of the match between J. Chadwick and J. Magnall, to wrestle the best of three back falls, in the Lancashire style, for £ 25 a side, at the Glenview Gardens, Burnley, on September 5, Magnall not to scale over 7 score 101b, and Chadwick to wrestle at catch weight. £ 5 each additional was to have been deposited on August 22. MENEAR AND SLADE.— Menear wishes to state that he is sur- prised Blade, after forfeiting to Menear last week, should boast that he would make a match, for £ 25 a side, and after refusing to make a match for the Duke of Cornwall Cup, should then chal- lenge Menear to wrestle at 103t. Slade knows well that Menear cannot come to that weight. Menear still holds the cup, and if Slade really wants a match one of the conditions are to wrestle for as low as £ 10, for which sum Menear will be glad to meet him. Any further challenge like last week's will not again be noticed by Menear. BOWLS.— A handicap sweepstakes, 21 up, was announced to come off at the Kersal Moor Hotel, near Manchester, on Monday and Tuesday, Aug 17 and 18, in which 32 subscribers at £ 2 each, were expected to compete, Mr J. R. Wood, the proprietor, offer- ing to add £ 10. The game was, however, contested by 16 players only; but among these were some of the admittedly " crack" bowlers of the vieinity, and occasionally some fine ends were made. On the opening day, Howarth beat Thorpe, Wiseman beat Hill, Ogden beat Kay, Ainsworth beat Evans, P. Royle beat Ellis, T. Royle beat Barlow, Benyon beat Lee, and Webb beat Gaskell. The game was resumed on Tuesday, when the result of the play was as follows :— Ogden beat T. Royle, P. Royle beat Ainsworth, Howarth beat Wiseman, and Benyon beat Webb, In the next round P. Royle defeated Howarth, and Benyon beat Ogden. The final contest, therefore, lay between P. Royle and B « nyon, and Royle proved victorious, Q, Hogg, b S. Lyttelton 18 b S. Lyttelton 1 1).

This match took place 011 Monday, Aug 17, and two following days ; the weather was very unpropitious. Play could not com- mence on each day until late, owing to the frequent showers. On the part of the Twenty- two's first innings, whose total was 95, Mr Stubbs made a good innings of 15, and ran out. Ruskiri lost a ball in a tree, scoring six in his innings of 12. The others played well against Jackson and Tinley. When time was called England had lost four of their wickets for 20 runs. Brampton, Rowbotham, Daft, and Carpenter well caught, at point by Mr C. L. Hornby. On Tuesday the score reached 89, six short of their opponents. Tarrant's 26 were made by five fours, fine hits, a two, and four singles. Clarke's 11 by a four, two twos, and singles. Mr H. Tennant's 16 was a good inuings, by two fours, two twos, and singles. Some fine cricket was shown in the Twenty- two's second innings. C. L. Hornby 10, and Stubbs and Evans ran up 73 be- fore they were parted, both playing very finely. Rowbotham had them both at wicket. E. K. Hornby ( not out) 14; total 90, with five wickets down. The England bowling was not up to its usual mark. On Wednesday the score was run up to 186 runs, Mycroft playing a steady good innings ; Hayward and Tarrant bowled very well. Three of England's wickets fell for 35 runs, Tinley making 23 of them. The match is, of course, drawn, but in favour of La wton. Score: LAWTON HALL. L.

UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN v TWENTY- TWO GENTLEMEN OF HAMPSHIRE- This match was commenced on Thursday, Aug 13, at the Ante- lope Ground, Southampton. The United having won the toss went first to the wicket, but succeeded in scoring only - 52, of which Griffiths was the only double figure, having made 13 ( not out). Mr Frere and Fawcett ( who played as an emergency in the place of Mr Maturin) bowled superbly throughout, the former gentleman having delivered 27 overs for 9 runs. After luncheon the Gentlemen commenced their innings, and quickly knocked off the runs, 148 having been obtained with 11 wickets down when time was called. The next day the score was fur- ther increased to 217, thus leaving the Eleven 165 in minority. Of the Twenty- two, Messrs Stewart, Lucas, and Willmore's in- nings were splendid indeed; Mr Wallace's was marvellous ( a five and three fours, all but one four off Tarrant), and Messrs Frederick, Frere, Campbell, and Reyne really good cricket. The United, at a quarter to two on Friday, commenced their second innings, but before luncheon was called Mortlock, Tarrant, and Griffith were disposed of with the telegraph at 7 only. Hearne retired with the score at 49, and Caflfyn and Carpenter remained till " Time" was called, the score being 146 for four wickets. On Saturday Carpenter increased his score to 49, when he was very finely stumped by Mr Steward, after having played one of bis best innings. It was fine, indeed. Caffyn reached his sixty- ninth run, when he was run out, after a very luckily- played innings, during which he had five escapes." John Lillywhite made 29 in good style, bringing his bat out, the innings terminating for 2.32, or 68 on. After luncheon the Gentlemen commenced to wipe off the run3, which they did for the loss of four wickets only. Mr G. Ede played a good steady innings of 23 ( not out), and Mr H. Frere very well for 21, the County thus winning by seventeen wickets.

Fenner's ground, never remarkable for its superficial inequalities, on this occasion rather resembled a billiard table, and to this may chiefly be attributed the large number of runs obtained. The three ' Varsity Blues did all for their side, while for the University Mr Collyer again proved a tower of strength, scoring upwards of 100 for the third time this vacation. 730 runs obtained in the first two innings of a match is, we imagine, " rather hot " Trinity obtained 250 without losing a wicket.

This return one day's match was played at Town Mailing on Wednesday, Aug 12, and proved to be one of the most remarkable on record. In the first innings Mailing scored 97 from the bowiing of L. Martin, 8. Pocock, and W. and T. Faireloth. Leigh being all out for 85, were left in a minority of 12. The two first innings concluding at 5: 10 p. m.," the stumps to be drawn at 7 p. m., the match was supposed to be virtually over. After an in- terval of half an hour Mailing again took the bat to the bowling o E. Greenwood and T. Bsrden, and confident as tl ey were, their discomfort was great when at ten minutes past six they were all sent back for 11 runs, Mr Greenwood accomplishing the extraor- dinary feat of taking nine wickets in nine overs, two of which were maidens, and in one over taking three wickets, five runs only being made off him. A 6: 25 p. m. Mr Greenwood and G. Faircloth took the bat to rub off the runs, which they did in six overs, having ten wickets and twenty minutes of time to spare. TOWN MALLING. lst Inn 2d inn E.

COBHAM v MR PRICE'S ELEVEN. Cobb am in Surrey, not the other Cobham, please remark. This match was played at the above place on Aug 8. It was a beautiful day. The ground was very bumpy, but the club have secured the services of a very able member of the profession, who is always at hand to attend to the casualties of the day, which would have been numerous had the Cobham bowler ( Thunder and Lightning they call him) not been suspended by general desire at an early period of the game. The worthy president of the club, anxious to improve the science of his proteges, brought a team from all parts of the United Kingdom, and succeeded, through the able performances of various players, in winning the match by eight wickets. The fair sex took a lively interest in the play, for which all seemed grateful. Score: COBHAM. Rev C. Clarke, hit w, b T. Rowsell J. Webb, b W.

On Tuesday and Wednesday, 11th and 12th of August, the Welsh Wanderers visited Tivyside, and played a match against the Newcastle Enalyn Club, when the Wanderers gained fresh laurels by winning, with seven wickets to fall. For Newcastle Emlyn, Lloyd made some slashing hits in his ( not out) innings of 24, but in both this and their second innings the bowling of Capt Davis and H. Arthur was so straight and true, that no stand was made. For the Wanderers, V/. Boundy and Bancroft played well and steadily against the first- class bowiing of Lloyd and H. Howell, which was far superior to any the Wanderers had hi- therto encountered. The Wanderers were most liberally enter- tained on Wednesday by their Tivyside friends at the Salutation Hotel, and the harmony was kept up to a late hour. The Wan- derers dispersed 011 the following day, well pleaded at the hearty welcome they received at Newcastle Emlyn, which will be long remembered. Score; NEWCASTLE EMLYN. lst inn 2d inn A.

DEAR BELL : I hope I may not be thought obtrusive in ad- dressing a few lines to you upon a subject which is being much canvassed not only by hunting men but by masters of hounds, viz, the rage for dog " and hound shows. Masters of hounds are reluctantly induced to lend their aid by exhibiting hounds ; but whether they may not be indirectly spoiling their own sport is the question at issue. A beautiful, symmetrical pack of hounds is always the admiration of Englishmen; but sportsmen do not meet hounds for appearances sake only, but to join in and enjoy the pleasures of the chase. And what can be more enjoyable than a good run with hounds ' i Hence the question arises, will hound shows be an evil or a benefit to the hunting community ? I am inclined to think the former, but I hope these few remarks may induce some of your sporting readers to canvass the subject tho- roughly and to favour the public through your journal with their views. Masters of hounds and huntsmen have not heretofore been negligent of the appearance of their hounds, but a stimulus is now being given to regard symmetry only, for under the pre- sent system of awarding prizes there is not and cannot be any trial of the goodness, stoutness, or cold scenting properties of the hound. If you can find room for the foregoing in your next im- pression you will oblige AN EX- MASTER OE HOUNDS. Lewes, Aug 17. [ Has an Ex- Master ever been present at the Cleveland Hound Show ? If so, we do not think he would disparage so pleasant, and, we believe, so useful a meeting. Dog Shows are certainly becoming mere commercial speculations; the Yorkshire Hound Show is quite another thing. EDITOR.] ESSEX.— MR SCRATTON'S.— Mr Scratton will take the field regu- larly four days each week during the ensuing season. Express trains will be put on the Southend Railway for the convenience of gentlemen from London. CUB HUNTING.— Mr Garth's Hounds began on Thursday, Aug 20, at Warfield Park, at six o'clock, and found a good litter of cubs, and after about two hours' work killed one. The scent was very moderate, as it was thick with fern and heath, and conse- quently choky for hounds; altogether, a satisfactory morning for the first time out V. W. H.— The annual dinner of the keepers and earthstoppers of this hunt was held on the 12th inst, at the White Hart Hotel, Cricklade. A capital dinner was provided for the occasion, which gave great credit to Mr and Mrs Craddock; Dale, the huntsman, presided. There was a good report of foxes throughout the hunt, which must be a great satisfaction to Capt Wharton Wilson, the new and respected master, and we trust will ensure him a good season's sport.

Tremoiro 24 The annual sale of yearlings, the property of gentlemen and farmers who bred them, commenced 011 Tuesday last, in Nelson' 8 yard, at York, under the auspices of Mr Richard Tattersall. The weather was rather unfavourable for business, there being a drizzling rain during the greater part of the time; and although these sales generally draw together an immense number of noble- men, gentlemen, and breeders of all kinds of stock, the attend- ance was less numerous than usual, and buyers, " like angels' visits, were few and far between," which, of course, caused an unusual dulness in the proceedings. The racing having been fixed for much earlier than was anticipated, the sales commenced at ten o'clock. The Tuesday catalogue contained twenty- five lots, including sixteen yearlings, seven brood mares, and two stallions, and of these only six were sold. The first horse brought to the hammer was the stallion Glenbuck, the winner of the City and Suburban in 1859; though not a big one, he looked remarkably well in every respect, but although the auctioneer struggled hard to obtain a buyer, the horse was sent back unsold. Antwerp, another stallion, who looked coarse and wild, was sold to Mr Gregory for 53gs; and then three brood mares, Pancake, Ella, and Lady Catherine, came up in succession, but were ali sent back unsold, there being scarcely a bid for them. Three yearlings, slight and deficient in quality, also returned unsold; butthe ninth lot, a bay colt by Mountain Deer out of Silkworm, by Venison, a small plain- looking animal, was sold to Mr Simpson for 20gs. The tenth was a chesnut colt by Lambourne, dam Bay Banter, by Bay Middleton, a very promising colt, of good size and substance, with fine shoulders, arms, and thighs, and very quick in his action. He was bought for Lord St Vincent for 1 ® 0. Bright May, the dam of Necro- mancer and Bohemian, with filly foal by Lambourne, and served by Cannobie, was sold to Mr Woolcot for lOOgs, and a bar- gain at the price. A bay yearling filly, by Leamington out of Eclogue, a smart, wiry- looking lady, was then sold to Mr Beckett for 50gs; and the final lot disposed of was a chesnut yearling filly, by Wild Huntsman out of Tib Tacket, a strapping youngster, with rather plain head and neck, but good shoulders, back, loins, and deep quarters, sold to Mr Stevenson for 105gs. This con- cluded Mr TattersaH's business for the day, which was not of a very profitable kind. Mr R. Johnson, of York, who was also selling, 01* more properly speaking trying to sell, blood stock and hunters in the same yard was more out of luck, for, in spite cf his great abilities, he only sold one yearling, which will be found in the return; he, however, disposed of many hunters, hacks, and several shooting ponies. The Wednesday's sale commenced again at ten o'clock, and the attendance was far more numerous than on the preceding day, but the weather was again very unfavourable, as the rain came down rather heavily throughout nearly the whole time. The cata- logue comprised thirty lots, including twenty- two yearlings, six brood mares and onestallion. The first offered was a 3' earling fill} 7, by Leamington out of Fortuna. butshe returned unsold. Thesecond, a chesnut colt, by Sugarplum out of Fraulein, was sold for 30gs to Mr Bennett; a very cheap lot. Bishopton, by Windhound, dam Miss Birch, a very small- looking colt, with many fine racing points and much quality, went to Mr Wood for lOOgs; Lady Charlotte, by Fandango, a pretty filly, to Mr Saxon for 120gs; and a bay filly ( own sister to Vedette and Qui Vive), by Voltigeur, a beautiful, fine- shaped filly, after some strong competition, to Capt White's bid of 360gs, for Mr Nay lor. Lord Conyngham, a bay colt by M. D., a big, plain, but very useful- looking colt, was booked to Mr Cockin for lOOgs. Sister to Flying Fish, by Newminster, then came up, and although there was nothing grand in her general appearauce, and was rather light of bone; she was still bought in for 610gs. Colonel Towneley's yearlings were next disposed of, and a very good- look- ing lot they were; though several of them had knocked them- selves a good deal about when in the railway boxes, although each had a man at its head. Sims Reeves, moreover, a most pro- mising colt by King of Trumps, was taken very badly with the megrims when in the train; having got cast, he knocked himself about so much that hedied almost immediately. The first sold was Lightning, a chesnut cslt by King of Trumps'out of Be Quick, a dull, long, low colt, with plenty of power, which Mr R. Harrison bought for 50gs. Irritation, a bay filly by King of Trumps out of Patience, a very neat colt indeed, had also been severely damaged about the head and e3' es, and was consequently sold for 30gs to Mr Rogers. Arno, chesnut Ally by Rataplan, went cheap enough to Mr Watson for 30gs; while Gem, a bay filly by King of Trumps out of Amethyst, a very nice, low, long filly, with plenty of power, was transferred as easily to Mr Hodgman for 60gs. Honey Bee, a pretty black filly by King of Trumps out of Honeydew, show- ing much fashion, was sold to Mr I'Anson for 150gs. Doeford ( sister to Doefoot), a bright chesnut by King of Trumps out of Passion Flower, is a remarkably neat, spanking looking filly, of good size, with powerful arms, thighs, and hocks, quick in her ac- tions, went cheap to Mr 8axon for210gs. The Governess, bay filly, by Newminster out of Boarding School Miss, a big, raking mare, rather deficient in quality, was sold to Mr Peart for 150gs ; and Rosette, chesnut filly ( h b), by Newminster out of Rosaura, a strong, useful one, was sold to Mr Saxon for 135gs. Puck, a chesnut colt, by Rataplan out of Titania, though in the catalogue, was too ill with stiangles to come; while Elland, a bay colt, by Rataplan out of Ellermire, is a handsome colt, though rather slack over the loins. He has still many fine racing points about him, with a good bloodlike head and neck, and sold readily to Mr J. Dawson— for Lord Stamford, as we presume— at 300gs. Dil- koosh, a stallion without either quality or fashion, was not sold ; and then the brood mares and foals of the late Mr F. W. White- head came to the hammer— a good, healthy- looking lot, in fine condition. A black mare, by Voltigeur out of The Nun, with a filly foal by Leamington, went very cheap indeed to Mr T. Jennings for 75us. Ricochet, by Voltigeur, with a colt foal by Leamington, to Mr T. Jennings for llOgs, also very cheap, with foal well worth half the money. Mountain Flower, without a foal, was sold to Lord Scarborough for 105gs. Honeymoon, by Coranna, went a bargain for 20gs to Mr Singleton. Greta, by Voltigeur, with a splendid colt foal at her foot by Newminster, and herself once so celebrated on the Turf, found many admirers, with some strong competition for her between Mr Johnstone, of Shefnal- lane Paddocks, and Mr Blenkiron, of Eltham Paddocks, but the former ultimately secured her for 560gs. Charity, the dam of Limosina, and Gratitude, by Melbourne, with a colt foal at her foot, as handsome as paint, was also sold to Mr Johnstone at the strong figure of 710gs; Mr Blenkiron went up to 700gs, but so determined did his opponent appear to have her that a thou- sand most probably would not have stopped him. Mr R. John- son was again selling in the same yard, where he disposed of a few yearlings, brood mares, and some hunters, & c. The prices and purchasers of the blood stock will be found subjoined :— BY MESSRS TATTERSALL. TUESDAY, AUG 18. GS.

ROYAL VICTORIA YACHT CLUB. The races for Mr Broadwood's two cups, each of the value of £ 50, from Cherbourg to Ryde, took place on Thursday. There was such a very heavy and strong breeze that one class of the yachts did not start from Cherbourg Breakwater until 12: 35. The Aline was the leading vessel, and she maintained that position throughout the race. The time of arrival was as under :— H. M. S. I H. M. S.

Our readers will observe, on reference to an advertisement con- tained in our impression of last week, that a regatta has been in- augurated upon the Tyne on a most extensive scale, which takes place on Friday, Aug 28, when, among other prizes, the committee offer the Tyne Champion Cup, value £ 50, with £ 50 added, for scullers, which will, no doubt, produce one of the finest races ever seen, as perhaps four such scullers were never previously brought together as Chambers, Green ( the Australian), Cooper, and Kelly, who have for some time past been in active training for this event. Green and Kelly left London on Friday morning, Aug 21, for the north, and are ' both in excellent condition ; while Chambers and Cooper are doing good work. Betting is brisk, and the following are the current quotations:— Even money on Green, 5 to 4 agst Cooper, 6 to 4 agst Chambers, 25 to 5 agst Kelly. CRYSTAL PALACE.— Return of admissions for six days ending Saturday, Aug 22 ( including season ticket holders), 100,872. BOUCICAULT'S BANKRUPTCY.— On Wednesday, in the Court of Bankruptcy, Mr Dion Boueicault passed his examination and obtained his discharge. In the course of his examination the bankrupt said : Since coming to England in July, 1860, and down to the time of taking Astley's Theatre, his professional earnings had been very large. He paid income- tax 011 £ 10,000 per year.— Mr Lawrence: Then we may reasonably assume that you earned a little more [ a laugh] ?— The Bankrupt: I think in the first year I made, with my wife's assistance, about £ 23,000. Sometimes I have made £ 1,000 per week.— The Commissioner, in passing the bankrupt's examination, and granting his immediate discharge, told him he might congratulate himself upon unanimous agree- ment among his creditors sot to oppose him. FIRE AT SOUTHEND.— On Thursday morning last a fire broke out on the premises of Mr Payne, linen draper, adjoining the Royal Hotel, which excited considerable alarm. It will scarcely be credited that in a town like Southend, which has in- creased rapidly of late years, and which is now crowded with visitors, there is not a fire- engine or fire- escape in the place, and in case of a serious fire breaking out at night the con- sequences would he appalling. Surely the insurance offices, 01* those possessing an interest, or property of consequence in the place, would do well to see to this ; anyhow, the present state of affairs displays rank neglect somewhere, and calls aloud for im- mediate amendment. CRICKET. ( CONTINUED FROM THE PRECEDING PAGE.) OF BRIGHTON CRICKET WEEK. MARYLEBONE CLUB AND GROUND v COUNTY SUSSEX. AUG 17, 18, 19.— This return match took place at Brighton. The ground was perfect for the batsmen, though if a fault could be found, it would be with the rather too liberal application of water, which deprived the wickets of their elasticity, making the game resemble a chasse de cuir. Sussex won the toss, and some excel- lent cricket was shown by Messrs Hale and Hodson, as well as by Wells, who played in his old form, and was much applauded on leaving the wickets. Wootton bowled remarkably well, half a gale blowing right against him, and the M. C. C. fielding very good. The M. C. C. commenced business with Capt Parnell and Hearne. The captain very early dissolved partnership. Hearne was cleverly stumped by Ellis with 35 to his name, well got. Grundy played a steady but not brilliant innings, succumbing at last to a ball that might have been played with a toothpick on a dark night in November. The hon sec contributed a dashing 40, and then the real fun of the innings began ; Mr Forster and Wootton had been backed to get ten atwixt them, and to show how little the best judges of the game really know about it, they were not parted till 104 runs were placed to their account. Wootton's 64 was the best innings of the day, and Mr Forster's 40 admirably got. Wootton was presented, in the name of the M. C. C., with a new bat, and a handsome subscription was raised for him. Mr F. was presented with a handsomely bound copy of Lilly white's Guide to Cricketcrs. Sussex in their second innings, when time was called on Tuesday evening, had rubbed off the extra runs, and put a few on with the loss of two wickets, Wells and Mr Hodson again displaying some masterly cricket. Wednesday— Rain all day, and blowing a hur- ricane, which enabled the M. C. C. to witness from various windows the highly interesting Brighton Regatta ; the racing as far as the spectators were concerned was over immediately after the start, and up to post time nothing more had been seen of the squadron, and so the match ended artistically in a draw. The county have some good young- uns coming on, and their blossoming Lilly is likely to expand into a useful plant, only we recommend him to bowl on some grounds where his heart is not so liable to be broken as on the imperturbable level of his county club.

SURREY v THE NORTH OF ENGLAND. AUG 20.— The Broughton Ground at Manchester was well pre- pared to receive the county of Surrey on Thursday, and the match excited considerable interest. The ground is now under the care of Luke Greenwood and M'Intyre, and, as usual, was in splendid order. H. Wright and Nichols were the umpires, and the wickets having been arranged, the North sent in Mr E. B. Rowley and Greenwood, to the bowling of Sewell and Caffyn. The Surrey, perhaps, were more at home by being in the field than having to bat, considering that they only left the Oval on the previous evening, where they were playing against England. Owing to previous rain the ground was somewhat dead, and the North were lowered for the small score of 50, the time being five minutes past four o'clock. Some altercation took place with regard to the playing of E. Stephenson, who, it appears, has dis- satisfied some one or other, the facts of which, however, we are not acquainted with. IT resulted in his going to the wickets, but only to be immediately run out. Score, up to Friday night: NORTH. SURREY. E. B. Rowley, b Caffyn 9 Griffith, b M'Intyre 8 L.

MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS- The Money Market, although steady, has shown a tendency to wards greater easiness, first class commercial bills of three months date having been negotiated at 3|, whereas a short time ago little if any accommodation was rendered under the minimum of the Bank of England. Gold has continued to flow into the vaults of the national establishment, but the increase there is comparatively small, owing to the enlarged circulation of coin in the agricul- tural districts, consequent upon harvest expenditure. A feature in connection with monetary affairs is the suspension of payments in gold by the State Bank of Russia, depreciated silver being ten- dered instead. This act may ultimately afi'ect the specie movement of this country, and lower the exchanges here and in several cities on the Continent with St Petersburg. Trade continues in a very healthy state, the general ope- rations of the country being exceedingly large, and there can be no doubt that the results of commerce at the end of the year will bear favourable comparison with those of 1862. At the Stock Exchange business has been very much reduced, owing to the disposition shown at this period of the year to take holidays, but notwithstanding the paucity of business Consols have been very well maintained, and the quotations yesterday ( Friday) after- noon were 93 § 5 for money, and 93i f for the account. In the Foreign Stock Market during the week the operations were moderately active, and prices generally exhibited an upward movement. Mexican Stock, however, has declined about f, and the Russian Loan of 1862 Greek Bonds improved f, Old Turkish Six per Cents f, the Loan of 1858 1, the Loan of 1862 1, and the Consolides j. The Confederate Loan has improved about 4 per cent. Business in the Railway Share Market has continued moderately active, and most of the principal lines have been at enhanced rates. Lancashire and Yorkshire have improved 3-, Bristol and Exeter and Brighton 5, South Western § , Great Northern If, North Western and Midland 1, Great Western If, and South Eastern 2f, while Great Eastern have declined 5. The other lines remained without material variation. For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there was only a limited inquiry, at about previous rates. Bank and Miscellaneous shares continued in full request, and prices in most instances were well supported. SATURDAY EVENING. The only feature of importance in the English Stock Market to- day was a decline and subsequent recovery of 5 per cent in Con- sols, which were 93 | for money, and 93| j for the account, and finally 93J | and 93j . respectively. In the Foreign Market the chief movement was a further ad- vance of 11 per cent in the Confederate Loan, which closed at 26 25 dis. Greek Bonds were firm at 33f f, the Coupons at 16 Old Turkish Six per. Cents were steady at 92| 93J; tthe Loan of 1862 improved to ti8|- 69, and the C011 sol ides brought 49f Railway Shares remained without material change in values. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares were inactive at about pre- vious rates. OLYMPIC THEATRE.— A few benefits have been the order of the nights here lately, whilst in the ensuing week Mr Atkins makes his first appeal to his friends, selecting the drama of " The Jacobite " and " The Ticket- of- Leave Man" for their especial en- tertainment. THE FORESTERS' FETE.— The great Foresters' fete of the season took place on Tuesday, Aug 18, at the Crystal Palace, and, not- withstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, was attended by upwards of 70,000^ persons. The proceedings all passed off most satisfactorily. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. BELL'S LIFE OFFICE, Saturday Night, 12 0' Clock. LATEST FROM AMERICA. ( By telfegram through Mr Reuter's office.) NEW YORK, AUG 10 ( EVENING). It is reported that General Meade has twice tendered his resig- nation, and now in. ists upon its acceptance. General Grant i8 spoken of as his successor. The army of the Potomac is to be re- organised. Drafted men and substitutes are now reinforcing it. The Federals have arrested ali the inhabitants north of the Rap- pahannock as far as Belle Piaine. They have occupied Beverley Ford. Mosby's guerillas are still committing depredations between Alexandria and Fairfax. It was reported that the land and naval forces would attack Fort„ Sumter on the 8th inst. A Federal force has marched down the centre of Arkansas. Other forces are preparing to clear the territory west of the Mis- sissippi of the organised Confederate forces. General Foster has made a reconnaissance with three gunboats up James River. The Secretary of War has ordered three Confederate prisoners t° be confined and held as hostages for three negross captured on board the steamer Isaac Smith, whom the Confederates refuse to exchange. The Governor of New York has written to President Lincoln, complaining of the injustice done to the State by the mode of en- rolment, and asking for a suspension of the draft until the errors are corrected. He urges volunteering to be substituted for tl draft, and claims that by the Constitution the Conscription Ai should be tested in the State Courts. President Lincoln replied that the draft must be enforced/ Taut that the districts where there is any irregularity could be re- enrolled. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald assert that reports had reached Washington that Mr Cassius M. Clay had entered into an offensive and defensive treaty with Russia, ensur- ing to that power that, in the event of the Western Powers declar- ing war against her, the United States would declare war against France and England. Blockade running at Wilmington is said to be carried on to an enormous extent at present. NEW YORK, AUG 11 ( EVENING). The Confederate pickets extend along the south bank of the Rappahannock, though the Federal cavalry occasionally scour the country as far as the lower fords of the Rapidan. Stafford Court House and Acquia Creek are within the Federal lines. It is reported that 8,000 Federal reinforcements arrived at Charleston on the lst inst, and would land on the south end of Folly Island. General Bragg is at Chattanooga. Part of his army is at Rome, Georgia. It is rumoured that Bishop Polk has superseded Ge- neral Bragg. During General Foster's reconnaissance up the James River, his vessels were fired at by artillery and sharpshooters stationed along the banks. A torpedo exploded under one of the vessels, doing considerable damage. Admiral Farragut has arrived at New York in the steamer Hartford. A battle is imminent at Fort Blunt, Indian territory. Governor Seymour has addresssed another letter to President Lincoln, reasserting that there was injustice and fraud in the en- rolment, and furnishing statistics proving that more persons were enrolled in the Democratic than in the Republican districts. Go- vernor Seymour says he is sure that the President cannot fail to right these gross wrongs. President Davis has rescinded the furlough granted to the pri- soners captured and parolled at Vicksburg. The Governor of Alabama has called a special session of the Legislature. The Richmond Examiner announces the military appointments. made by President Davis, and says :—" The spirit of resistance to the North is as strong as ever, but the Southern people are weary of the flagrant mismanagement of the Government by President Davis's administration." There is a large increase in the mortality of New York. There- were 970 deaths last week, being 400 more than in the same period last year. NEW YORK, AUG 12 ( MORNING). General Lee's head- quarters are at Gordonsville, and his main body is on the line of the Rapidan. The New York Herald asserts that a convention of prominent Republicans will be held at Washington next week. The object of the meeting is not known, but the Herald asserts that informa- tion has reached Washington that the Confederates were willing to return to the Union if terms were offered them, and ihat the Republican party is desirous to stop the war, and to avoid the unpopularity of the conscription, hence a meeting has been called. President Lincoln has written a second letter to Governor Sey- mour, confirming his determination to enforce the draft. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. ( REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

ALARMING ACCIDENT AT BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE. An accident of a serious nature occurred about three o'clock this afternoon at the new bridge across the Thames for the London, Chaiham, and Dover Railway, at Blackfriars Bridge. The scaffolding for the piers is now far advanced, and connecting rods had been erected to enable the " traveller " to be brought into operation. Whether from some defect, or other cause at present unknown, while the men at work were upon the " travel- ler '' propelling it along, in a moment a sudden crash was heard,, and the ponderous weight with the men was precipitated into the river. Seven or eight were dangerously wounded, and others are missing; but whether they have sunk or were picked up by some passing boat we could not ascertain. It appears that a barge was floating up the river at the time, and was between the arches when the " traveller'' fell. Wre hear that the captain of the barge was killed on the sp ® t, but we cannot vouch for the truth of it. At all events the accident was of a very alarming description, and of some of the workmen who have been taken to the hospital there is little hope of recovery. A STRANGE AFFAIR- To- day, at Marylebone police court, a fashionablj- attired woman, who gave the name of Annie Lees, residing at Mortimer House, Stanhope- place, Mornington- crescent, was charged on re- mand ou suspicion of stealing a gold watch the property of Mrs Langley, of 119, Stanhope- street. From the prosecutrix's state- ment it appeared on Tuesday last, prisoner, accompanied by another woman, named Jane Marshall, came after her furnished apartments, and, having come down, the prisoner said she would go up again and see if the bed was a feather bed. She did so, and after they had gone she missed her g' Id watch, which was in the bedroom. She sent the servant after them, and as they would not return she went herself, and saw prisoner shake hands with a man, to whom she supposed the watch was passed. They came back, and as the watch could not be found they were given into custody, and on being taken before the magistrate Marshall wag discharged and Lees was admitted to bail.— A person calling him- self Captain Murray, but who it turned out had no claim to such title, off ered to be bail in the course of the day, and was accepted ; and the person prisoner shook hands with also called himself Captain Palmer, but proved only to have been a captain of some lake steamboat in America.— After the remand these two " captains" and prisoner and another woman came to the house and spoke about the alleged robbery( complaining of the course the prosec utrix had adopted; and it was stated that prisoner was the wife of a confidential employe o* a first- rate jeweller, who was at Margate onaccountof ill health- Or. the following day two dashing women came and looked at the apartments, and said they wanted them for a very particular gen- tleman, and after they had gone the watch was found under the hearthrug with ribbon attached. Another singular circumstance which came out was, that although the prisoner had been living with the jeweller's employe, she had only been married to him the day before.— Mr Yardley commented 011 the suspicious character of the case, but said he had no alternative but to discharge the accused. At the same time if the police found aiij thing transpire throwing a light upon the case, there was no reason why it should not be resumed. THE YOUNG WIFE AND THE JEALOUS HUSBAND. To- day, at Marylebone police court, a tall, stout man, named George Ballard, residing at 9, Seymour- place, was charged with having assaulted a man living in the same house, and with having made " obedience" to his wife.— Frances Williams, a stylishly dressed young woman of 18 or 19, said she was married and lived with her husband in the same house as the defendant. Fof some time past the defendant had been making his " obedience " to her both privately and before her husband.— Mr Yardley: What do you mean by " obedience ?"— Complainant ( blushing): Well, sir, if I must tell, I must. He nods and winks at me as if he was making love to me.— Joseph Williams said he was a saddler and husband to the young lady ( the last witness). The defendant had been in the habit of making " obedienc e" to his wife to try and cause witness to be jealous, and he did not half like it. Witness com- plained to him of his conduct, when he answered that he would speak to her whenever he liked, and where he liked. Wit- ness told him he should not, and defendant kicked him behind and struck him.— The defendant said he was drunk, and knew nothing about the matter.— He was fined 10s, which was paid. FORGING A BILL OF EXCHANGE. To- day, at Bow- street, Wm. Pottage was charged with ot- tering a forged bill of exchange for £ 67 3s 8d. The bill puiw » s to have been accepted by Mr W. Bew, a merchant, and to Bl i. dorsed by Mr Wreston, of the Music Hall, Holborn, and anot/"* r Mr Weston, of Newington- causeway. The prisoner producea'V. _ bill to Mr Welbone, at the loan and discount office in Oakley street, Lambeth, where it was cashed. He was formerly in part- nership with Mr Weston. Mr Bew denied that the acceptance was in his handwriting.— The prisoner said he had offered to- make an arrangement, and he hoped that Mr Bew would forgive him for what he had done, for he would not be injured by it. Mr Welbone, he said, did not wish to press the charge. He knew that he had done a dishonest act, but he had not at the time any idea that it would come to this.— Mr Henry said it was a most serious offence, and one that was till lately a capital crime. He should remand the prisoner for the attendance of the Messrs Weston, as their names were also forged.— Bail was refused. EMBEZZLEMENT BY CLEKRS. To- day, at Guildhall, William Farnham and James W. S. Star* mer, the former a manager, and the latter a traveller, in the employ of Mr Hannam, a wholesale milliner, of Bartholomew- close, were charged with embezzlement. With regard to Earn- liam, it was proved that he had been directed to collect a sum of £ 4 15s from Messrs Vyse and Co, which was paid to him, but which he had never accounted for. In addition to this, it ap- peared that he had obtained goods from several firms in the name of the prosecutor which had never been ordered by him, and had never found their way into his stock. In the ease of Starmer, the evidence was that he had received £ 8 15s from a Mr Bing, £ 2 12s Od from Mr Lanworthy, and lis from a Mr Robinson on behalf of the prosecutor, and that he had never accounted for these sums. The prisoners, who reserved their defence, were com- mitted for trial.
